[0041] Reference Figures 1 to 3 According to the flexible circuit board punching device of the embodiment of the utility model, the flexible circuit board punching device has a first direction and a second direction, and the flexible circuit board punching device includes a frame 10, a punching mechanism 20, a loading mechanism 30 and a unloading mechanism 40. The frame 10 is provided with a workbench 11, and the workbench 11 is provided with a punching work area 111. A discharge area 12 is provided on both sides of the first direction of the workbench 11, and the discharge area 12 is used to place the circuit board to be processed; the stamping mechanism 20 is arranged on the frame 10 and located above the workbench 11, and the stamping mechanism 20 is used to punch the circuit board; the loading mechanism 30 is arranged on the frame 10 and located on one side of the first direction of the workbench 11, and the loading mechanism 30 includes a movable loading robot 31, and the loading robot 31 is used to move the circuit board to the workbench 11; the unloading mechanism 40 is arranged on the frame 10 and located on the other side of the first direction of the workbench 11, and the unloading mechanism 40 includes a movable material moving robot 41, and the material moving robot 41 is used to intermittently move the circuit board and remove the punched circuit board from the workbench 11.

[0042] Specifically, the flexible circuit board punching equipment of this embodiment includes a sturdy frame 10, which is designed to stably support all working parts. A workbench 11 is arranged on the frame 10, and the surface of the workbench 11 is flat, which is used to provide a work area 111 for punching. On both sides of the first direction of the workbench 11 (for example, the left and right directions shown in the figure), there are respectively provided discharge areas 12. These discharge areas 12 are used to stack and store the flexible circuit boards to be processed in an orderly manner, so that the feeding mechanism 30 can take the materials. The punching mechanism 20 is installed on the frame 10 and is precisely positioned above the workbench 11. The punching mechanism 20 includes one or more punches for punching the flexible circuit board placed on the workbench 11. The power source of the punching mechanism 20 can be pneumatic, hydraulic or electric, to ensure that the punching action is fast and accurate, and meet different punching requirements. The feeding mechanism 30 is installed on one side of the first direction of the frame 10, adjacent to the discharge area 12. The core component of the loading mechanism 30 is a movable loading robot 31, which is designed to accurately grab the circuit board in the discharge area 12 and smoothly move it to the working area 111 of the workbench 11. The motion control of the loading robot 31 adopts an advanced servo system to ensure the positioning accuracy and stability of each loading. The unloading mechanism 40 is located on the other side of the first direction of the frame 10, adjacent to the workbench 11. The unloading mechanism 40 is also equipped with a movable material transfer robot 41, which is responsible for intermittently moving the circuit board during the punching process, so that the stamping mechanism 20 punches out process holes on the flexible circuit board in turn. After the punching is completed, it can be removed from the workbench 11 for subsequent collection or further processing. The operation of the material transfer robot 41 is also precisely controlled to ensure that the punched circuit board can be safely and accurately moved to the punching position and unloaded.

[0043] In actual application, the loading mechanism 30 is started first, and the loading robot 31 takes out a piece of flexible circuit board to be processed from the discharge area 12 and places it accurately in the working area 111 of the workbench 11. Subsequently, the stamping mechanism 20 descends to perform punching operations on the blanking area, and the unloading mechanism 40 drives the material transfer robot 41 to intermittently move the flexible circuit board, so that the stamping mechanism 20 punches out all the required holes on the flexible circuit board. After the punching is completed, the material transfer robot 41 of the unloading mechanism 40 moves the circuit board to one side so that the loading robot 31 can place the next piece of circuit board to be processed. At the same time, the material transfer robot 41 removes the punched circuit board from the workbench 11 and sends it to the collection area. Through the above-mentioned structural design and optimization of the work process, the flexible circuit board punching equipment of the embodiment of the utility model realizes efficient and automated punching operations, significantly improves production efficiency and processing quality, reduces the need for manual intervention, and is suitable for large-scale production line operations.

[0044] Therefore, it can be understood that the flexible circuit board punching equipment according to the embodiment of the utility model has at least the following beneficial effects: through the loading, unloading and moving of the loading mechanism 30 and the unloading mechanism 40 on both sides of the first direction of the workbench 11, the circuit board to be processed can be automatically moved to the working area 111, the position of the circuit board can be moved intermittently and the processed circuit board can be removed, so there is no need for manual feeding, moving and unloading throughout the whole process, thereby improving the production efficiency of the flexible circuit board.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 2 In some embodiments of the utility model, the feeding mechanism 30 includes a feeding drive assembly 32, which is disposed on the frame 10, and the output end of the feeding drive assembly 32 is connected to the feeding robot 31, and the feeding drive assembly 32 drives the feeding robot 31 to move along the first direction and the second direction on the frame 10.

[0046] Specifically, the feeding mechanism 30 is a key component of the flexible circuit board punching equipment, which is responsible for accurately moving the circuit board to be processed from the discharge area 12 to the working area 111 of the workbench 11. In order to achieve this function, the feeding mechanism 30 includes a feeding drive assembly 32, which is installed on the frame 10 to provide the necessary power and motion control for the feeding manipulator 31. The output end of the feeding drive assembly 32 is connected to the feeding manipulator 31, and through a precise control algorithm and a mechanical transmission device, the feeding manipulator 31 is driven to move along the first direction (for example, the left and right direction shown in the figure) and the second direction (for example, the up and down direction shown in the figure) on the frame 10. This two-way movement capability enables the feeding manipulator 31 to flexibly grab the circuit board from the discharge area 12 and accurately place it at a predetermined position on the workbench 11. The motion control of the feeding drive assembly 32 is realized by an advanced servo system, which can ensure the positioning accuracy and stability of the feeding manipulator 31 during the movement process. The servo system receives instructions from the equipment control system and drives the loading robot 31 to complete a series of complex moving actions, including linear movement, curved movement, and fixed-point stop, etc. according to the instructions.

[0047] In the actual working process, the loading drive assembly 32 first drives the loading robot 31 to move to the top of the material discharge area 12, then descends and grabs a piece of flexible circuit board to be processed. Subsequently, the loading drive assembly 32 is started again, driving the loading robot 31 to move the circuit board along the first direction and the second direction to the top of the working area 111 of the workbench 11. Finally, the loading robot 31 descends and places the circuit board at a predetermined position, waiting for the stamping mechanism 20 to perform the punching operation.

[0048] Further, refer to Figure 1 to Figure 2In some embodiments of the utility model, the loading drive assembly 32 includes: a first loading drive component 321 and a second loading drive component 322. The first loading drive component 321 is arranged on the frame 10, and the first loading drive component 321 drives the loading robot 31 to slide in the first direction; the second loading drive component 322 is arranged on the output end of the first loading drive component 321, and the first loading drive component 321 drives the second loading drive component 322 to slide in the first direction. The loading robot 31 is arranged on the output end of the second loading drive component 322, and the second loading drive component 322 drives the loading robot 31 to slide in the second direction.

[0049] The feeding drive assembly 32 is the core part of the feeding mechanism 30, which is responsible for driving the feeding manipulator 31 to move along the first direction and the second direction on the frame 10. In order to achieve this function, the feeding drive assembly 32 includes a first feeding drive member 321 and a second feeding drive member 322. The first feeding drive member 321 is installed on the frame 10, and its output end is connected to the second feeding drive member 322. The main function of the first feeding drive member 321 is to drive the second feeding drive member 322 and the feeding manipulator 31 to slide in the first direction. This design enables the feeding manipulator 31 to move a long distance in the horizontal direction, thereby covering the entire area between the discharge area 12 and the workbench 11. The second feeding drive member 322 is arranged on the output end of the first feeding drive member 321, and slides in the first direction with the first feeding drive member 321. At the same time, the feeding manipulator 31 is installed on the output end of the second feeding drive member 322. The main function of the second feeding drive member 322 is to drive the feeding manipulator 31 to slide in the second direction. This design enables the loading robot 31 to be precisely adjusted in the vertical direction so as to accurately grasp and place the circuit board.

[0050] During the loading process, the first loading drive member 321 is first started, driving the second loading drive member 322 and the loading manipulator 31 to move in the first direction to above the discharge area 12. Then, the second loading drive member 322 is started, driving the loading manipulator 31 to descend in the second direction and grab a piece of flexible circuit board to be processed. Subsequently, the first loading drive member 321 and the second loading drive member 322 work together to move the loading manipulator 31 and the circuit board to above the working area 111 of the workbench 11. Finally, the second loading drive member 322 drives the loading manipulator 31 to descend and place the circuit board in a predetermined position.

[0051] It is understandable that in some embodiments of the present invention, the first feeding drive member 321 and the second feeding drive member 322 are both screw substructures. The screw substructure is a commonly used precision transmission mechanism, which is composed of a screw and a nut. When the screw rotates, the nut moves along the axial direction of the screw, thereby realizing precise linear transmission. The first feeding drive member 321 adopts a screw substructure. The screw is fixed on the frame 10, and the nut is connected to the second feeding drive member 322. When the drive motor of the first feeding drive member 321 is started, the screw starts to rotate, thereby driving the nut and the second feeding drive member 322 to slide precisely in the first direction.

[0052] Similarly, the second feeding drive member 322 also adopts a screw pair structure. The screw is fixed to the output end of the first feeding drive member 321, and the nut is connected to the feeding robot 31. When the drive motor of the second feeding drive member 322 is started, the screw starts to rotate, thereby driving the nut and the feeding robot 31 to slide accurately in the second direction.

[0053] During the loading process, the lead screw substructure of the first loading drive member 321 is first started, driving the second loading drive member 322 and the loading robot 31 to move in the first direction to above the discharge area 12. Then, the lead screw substructure of the second loading drive member 322 is started, driving the loading robot 31 to descend in the second direction and grab a piece of flexible circuit board to be processed. Subsequently, the lead screw substructures of the first loading drive member 321 and the second loading drive member 322 work together to move the loading robot 31 and the circuit board to above the working area 111 of the workbench 11. Finally, the lead screw substructure of the second loading drive member 322 drives the loading robot 31 to descend and place the circuit board in a predetermined position.

[0054] Reference Figure 1 to Figure 2 In some embodiments of the utility model, the loading robot 31 includes: a loading mounting plate 311 and a plurality of loading support plates 312, the loading mounting plate 311 is arranged on the output end of the loading drive assembly 32; one end of the loading support plate 312 is adjustably arranged on the loading mounting plate 311, the loading support plate 312 extends along a first direction, and a plurality of first vacuum suction cups 3121 are arranged below the loading support plate 312, and the plurality of first vacuum suction cups 3121 are used to adsorb the circuit board.

[0055] The loading robot 31 is a key component responsible for moving the circuit board to be processed from the discharge area 12 to the working area 111 of the workbench 11. In order to achieve this function, the loading robot 31 includes a loading installation plate 311 and a plurality of loading support plates 312. The loading installation plate 311 is arranged on the output end of the loading drive assembly 32, and moves with the loading drive assembly 32 in the first direction and the second direction. The loading installation plate 311, as the main part of the loading robot 31, provides a structural basis for installing and supporting the loading support plate 312. One end of the loading support plate 312 is adjustably arranged on the loading installation plate 311. This design enables the loading support plate 312 to be adjusted according to different circuit board sizes and shapes to ensure stable support and grasping. The loading support plate 312 extends along the first direction, providing sufficient length to support the circuit board. A plurality of first vacuum suction cups 3121 are arranged below the loading support plate 312. These vacuum suction cups adsorb the circuit board by generating negative pressure, ensuring that the circuit board can be stably grasped and moved during the loading process. The distribution design of the plurality of first vacuum suction cups 3121 makes the adsorption force more uniform, avoiding the deviation or falling off of the circuit board during the movement. One end of the loading support plate 312 is adjustably arranged on the loading mounting plate 311. This adjustment mechanism allows the loading manipulator 31 to adapt to circuit boards of different sizes and shapes. By adjusting the position and angle of the loading support plate 312, it can be ensured that the circuit board remains stable at all times during the loading process and is accurately placed on the working area 111 of the workbench 11.

[0056] During the loading process, the loading drive assembly 32 first drives the loading mounting plate 311 and the loading support plate 312 to move above the discharge area 12. Then, the first vacuum suction cup 3121 under the loading support plate 312 is activated to generate negative pressure to absorb the circuit board to be processed. Subsequently, the loading drive assembly 32 drives the loading mounting plate 311 and the loading support plate 312 to move the circuit board above the working area 111 of the workbench 11. Finally, the first vacuum suction cup 3121 is closed, releasing the circuit board and placing it in a predetermined position.

[0057] Similarly, refer to Figure 1 as well as Figure 3 In some embodiments of the utility model, the unloading mechanism 40 includes a unloading drive component 42, which is arranged on the frame 10, and the output end of the unloading drive component 42 is connected to the material moving robot 41, and the unloading drive component 42 drives the material moving robot 41 to move along the first direction and the second direction on the frame 10.

[0058] The unloading mechanism 40 is an important component of the flexible circuit board punching equipment, which is responsible for moving the processed circuit board from the workbench 11 to the unloading area. In order to achieve this function, the unloading mechanism 40 includes a unloading drive component 42, which is installed on the frame 10 to provide the necessary power and motion control for the material transfer robot 41. The output end of the unloading drive component 42 is connected to the material transfer robot 41, and through a precise control algorithm and a mechanical transmission device, the material transfer robot 41 is driven to move along the first direction (for example, the left and right direction shown in the figure) and the second direction (for example, the up and down direction shown in the figure) on the frame 10. This two-way movement capability enables the material transfer robot 41 to flexibly grab the processed circuit board from the workbench 11 and accurately place it at a predetermined position in the unloading area. The motion control of the unloading drive component 42 is achieved through an advanced servo system, which can ensure the positioning accuracy and stability of the material transfer robot 41 during the movement process. The servo system receives instructions from the equipment control system, and drives the material transfer robot 41 to complete a series of complex moving actions, including linear movement, curved movement, and fixed-point stop, etc. according to the instructions.

[0059] In the actual working process, when the unloading drive component 42 receives the instruction from the equipment control system, it first drives the material transfer robot 41 to move above the workbench 11, then descends and grabs a piece of flexible circuit board that has completed the first step of processing. Subsequently, the unloading drive component 42 is started again, driving the material transfer robot 41 to move the circuit board in the first direction for a predetermined distance and then withdraw, and the punching mechanism 20 punches again, and this cycle is repeated until the punching of the entire flexible circuit board is completed. Then, the unloading mechanism 40 can drive the material transfer robot 41 to move above the unloading area in the first direction and the second direction. Finally, the material transfer robot 41 descends and places the circuit board in a predetermined position to complete the unloading operation.

[0060] Specifically, refer to Figure 1 as well as Figure 3In some embodiments of the present utility model, the material unloading drive assembly 42 includes: a first material unloading drive member 421 and a second material unloading drive member 422. The first material unloading drive member 421 is arranged on the frame 10, and the first material unloading drive member 421 drives the material transfer manipulator 41 to slide in the first direction; the second material unloading drive member 422 is arranged on the output end of the first material unloading drive member 421, and the first material unloading drive member 421 drives the second material unloading drive member 422 to slide in the first direction. The material transfer manipulator 41 is arranged on the output end of the second material unloading drive member 422, and the second material unloading drive member 422 drives the material transfer manipulator 41 to slide in the second direction. The material unloading drive assembly 42 is the core part of the material unloading mechanism 40, which is responsible for driving the material transfer manipulator 41 to move along the first direction and the second direction on the frame 10. In order to achieve this function, the material unloading drive assembly 42 includes a first material unloading drive member 421 and a second material unloading drive member 422.

[0061] The first material unloading driving member 421 is mounted on the frame 10, and its output end is connected to the second material unloading driving member 422. The main function of the first material unloading driving member 421 is to drive the second material unloading driving member 422 and the material transfer manipulator 41 to slide in the first direction. This design enables the material transfer manipulator 41 to move a long distance in the horizontal direction, thereby covering the entire area between the workbench 11 and the unloading area. The second material unloading driving member 422 is arranged on the output end of the first material unloading driving member 421, and slides in the first direction with the first material unloading driving member 421. At the same time, the material transfer manipulator 41 is mounted on the output end of the second material unloading driving member 422. The main function of the second material unloading driving member 422 is to drive the material transfer manipulator 41 to slide in the second direction. This design enables the material transfer manipulator 41 to be precisely adjusted in the vertical direction so as to accurately grasp and place the circuit board. The movement of the first material unloading driving member 421 and the second material unloading driving member 422 is controlled by an advanced servo system. The servo system receives instructions from the equipment control system and accurately controls the movement of the two drive components according to the instructions. In actual working process, the first material unloading drive component 421 and the second material unloading drive component 422 need to work together to ensure that the material transfer robot 41 can move according to the predetermined path and speed.

[0062] During the material unloading process, the first material unloading driving member 421 is first started, driving the second material unloading driving member 422 and the material transfer manipulator 41 to move above the workbench 11 along the first direction. Then, the second material unloading driving member 422 is started, driving the material transfer manipulator 41 to descend along the second direction and grab a piece of processed flexible circuit board. Subsequently, the first material unloading driving member 421 and the second material unloading driving member 422 work together to move the material transfer manipulator 41 and the circuit board to above the unloading area. Finally, the second material unloading driving member 422 drives the material transfer manipulator 41 to descend and place the circuit board at a predetermined position.

[0063] Similarly, it can be known that in some embodiments of the present invention, the first material feeding drive component 421 and the second material feeding drive component 422 are both screw pair structures, which will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0064] Reference Figure 1 as well as Figure 3 In some embodiments of the utility model, the material transfer robot 41 includes: a material unloading mounting plate 411 and a plurality of material unloading support plates 412, the material unloading mounting plate 411 is arranged on the output end of the material unloading drive assembly 42; one end of the material unloading support plate 412 is adjustably arranged on the material unloading mounting plate 411, the material unloading support plate 412 extends along the first direction, and a plurality of second vacuum suction cups 4121 are arranged below the material unloading support plate 412, and the plurality of second vacuum suction cups 4121 are used to adsorb the circuit board.

[0065] The unloading manipulator is an important part of the flexible circuit board punching equipment, which is responsible for moving the processed circuit board from the workbench 11 to the unloading area. In order to achieve this function, the unloading manipulator includes an unloading mounting plate 411 and a plurality of unloading support plates 412. The unloading mounting plate 411 is arranged on the output end of the unloading drive assembly 42, and moves with the unloading drive assembly 42 in the first direction and the second direction. As the main part of the unloading manipulator, the unloading mounting plate 411 provides a structural basis for installing and supporting the unloading support plate 412. One end of the unloading support plate 412 is adjustably arranged on the unloading mounting plate 411. This design enables the unloading support plate 412 to be adjusted according to different circuit board sizes and shapes to ensure stable support and grasping. The unloading support plate 412 extends in the first direction, providing sufficient length to support the circuit board. A plurality of second vacuum suction cups 4121 are arranged below the unloading support plate 412, which absorb the circuit board by generating negative pressure to ensure that the circuit board can be stably grasped and moved during the unloading process. The distribution design of multiple second vacuum suction cups 4121 makes the adsorption force more uniform, avoiding the circuit board from deflecting or falling off during the movement. One end of the unloading support plate 412 is adjustably set on the unloading mounting plate 411. This adjustment mechanism allows the unloading manipulator to adapt to circuit boards of different sizes and shapes. By adjusting the position and angle of the unloading support plate 412, it can be ensured that the circuit board remains stable during the unloading process and is accurately placed at the predetermined position of the unloading area.

[0066] During the unloading process, the unloading drive assembly 42 first drives the unloading mounting plate 411 and the unloading support plate 412 to move above the workbench 11. Then, the second vacuum suction cup 4121 below the unloading support plate 412 is activated to generate negative pressure to absorb the processed circuit board. Subsequently, the unloading drive assembly 42 drives the unloading mounting plate 411 and the unloading support plate 412 to move the circuit board above the unloading area. Finally, the second vacuum suction cup 4121 is closed, releasing the circuit board and placing it in a predetermined position.

[0067] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
