[0029] The cylinder 603 pushes the guide block 602 to slide along the guide rail 604. The top surface of the guide block 602 is an arc-shaped structure. When the guide block 602 moves, it pushes the guide wheel 605 to move upward, so that the driving shaft 608 moves upward to raise the placement table 2, so that the placement table 2 extends to the outside of the exposure tank 11;

[0030] Then, the circuit board body 3 coated with solder resist ink is placed on the placement table 2, and the worker does not need to put his hand into the exposure tank 11, which improves safety;

[0031] After placing the circuit board body 3, the cylinder 603 drives the guide block 602 to reset through the telescopic rod, and the driving shaft 608 moves downward under the rebound effect of the spring sleeve 606, so that the placement table 2 and the circuit board body 3 are lowered into the exposure slot 11;

[0032] A cover body 4, which is disposed on the top of the exposure tank 11, and ultraviolet lamp tubes 15 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the cover body 4;

[0040] Working principle: When the embodiment of the present application is in use, the cylinder 603 first pushes the guide block 602 to slide along the guide rail 604. The top surface of the guide block 602 is an arc-shaped structure. When the guide block 602 moves, it pushes the guide wheel 605 to move up, so that the drive shaft 608 moves up, thereby raising the placement table 2, so that the placement table 2 extends to the outside of the exposure tank 11, and then the circuit board body 3 coated with solder mask ink is placed on the placement table 2, without the need for workers to put their hands into the exposure tank 11, thereby improving safety. After placing the circuit board body 3, the cylinder 603 drives the guide block 602 to reset through the telescopic rod, and the drive shaft 608 moves down under the rebound action of the spring sleeve 606, so that the placement table 2 and the circuit board body 3 are lowered into the exposure slot 11, and then the servo motor 10 drives the screw rod 8 to rotate, so that the driving block 9 moves down along the screw rod 8 to connect the cover body 4 with the exposure slot 11. When connected, the positioning column 13 and the positioning slot 5 are inserted and positioned, and at the same time, the sealing strip 14 is embedded in the sealing slot 12 to improve the sealing of the connection between the cover body 4 and the exposure slot 11, and it is not easy to leak light. Then the ultraviolet lamp tube 15 is turned on to irradiate the circuit board body 3, so that the solder mask ink on its surface is cured to form a protective film. There is no need to open and close the cover manually. The worker only needs to manually place and take out the circuit board body 3, so as to realize the semi-automation of the exposure machine body 1 and improve the work efficiency.
