Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of FPC flipping, in particular to an FPC flipping device. Background Technique

[0002] An FPC is a highly reliable and extremely flexible printed circuit board made of polyimide or polyester film as the base material, which has the characteristics of high wiring density, light weight, thin thickness, and good bendability.

[0003] During the production process of FPC, it is often necessary to process both sides of the FPC. After one side is processed, the FPC needs to be flipped to process the other side. When the existing FPC flipping device flips the FPC, most of them do not have the function of lifting the FPC. If the width of the FPC is large, directly flipping the FPC is very likely to cause the FPC to collide with the base, resulting in damage to the FPC, which is not conducive to the use of the staff. For this reason, we have proposed an FPC flipping device. Content of the Utility Model

[0004] In view of the deficiencies of the prior art, the utility model provides an FPC flipping device to solve the above problems.

[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:

[0006] An FPC flipping device includes a base. A first motor is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the base. The output end of the first motor is fixedly connected to a first rotating shaft. The top of the first rotating shaft is rotatably connected to the top of the inner wall of the base. Two symmetrically distributed second rotating shafts are rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the base. The top of the second rotating shaft extends to the top of the base. A transmission component is arranged outside the second rotating shaft and the first rotating shaft. A lifting component is arranged on the top of the base. A limiting component is arranged on the top of the base. A switch component is arranged on the top of the base. Two symmetrically distributed cross plates are arranged on the top of the base. A flipping component is arranged on one side of the cross plate.

[0007] Preferably, the transmission component includes pulleys fixedly sleeved on the outside of the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft, and the outside of the three pulleys is movably sleeved with the same belt.

[0008] Preferably, the lifting component includes a threaded rod fixedly connected to the top of the second rotating shaft. The outside of the two threaded rods is threadedly connected with a threaded sleeve. One side of the threaded sleeve is fixedly connected to one side of the cross plate.

[0009] Preferably, the limiting component includes two symmetrically distributed sliding rods fixedly connected to the top of the base. A slider is slidably connected to the outside of the sliding rod, and one side of the slider is fixedly connected to one side of a cross plate.

[0010] Preferably, the switch component includes a connecting plate arranged at the tops of the sliding rod and the threaded rod. One side of the connecting plate is fixedly connected to a fixing plate, and a switch is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixing plate. One side of one of the threaded sleeves is fixedly connected to a moving block, and the moving block is adapted to the switch.

[0011] Preferably, the flipping component includes a third rotating shaft rotatably connected to one side of the cross plate. One side of the third rotating shaft is fixedly connected to a frame body. One of the third rotating shafts extends to the other side of the cross plate. One side of one of the cross plates is fixedly connected to a support plate, and a second motor is fixedly installed on the top of the support plate. One end of the third rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: By setting the transmission component, when the first motor is started, the two second rotating shafts can be driven to rotate simultaneously. By setting the lifting component, the height of the FPC can be adjusted. By setting the switch component, when the threaded sleeve moves to a certain height, the second motor can be started. By setting the flipping component, the frame body and the FPC can be flipped. By setting the above structures, the FPC can be flipped. Before the FPC is flipped by the device, the FPC can be automatically lifted, avoiding the drawback that the relatively wide FPC collides with the base during flipping. The degree of automation is relatively high, which greatly facilitates the use of the staff. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without making creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0018] Embodiment: Refer to Figures 1-3 , an FPC flipping device, including a base 1, a first motor 2 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the inner wall of the base 1, the output end of the first motor 2 is fixedly connected to a first rotating shaft 3, the top of the first rotating shaft 3 is rotatably connected to the top of the inner wall of the base 1, two symmetrically distributed second rotating shafts 4 are rotatably connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the base 1, the top of the second rotating shaft 4 extends to the top of the base 1, and a transmission assembly is arranged outside the second rotating shaft 4 and the first rotating shaft 3. The transmission assembly includes pulleys 5 fixedly sleeved outside the first rotating shaft 3 and the second rotating shaft 4, and the same belt 6 is movably sleeved outside the three pulleys 5. By setting the transmission assembly, the rotation of the first rotating shaft 3 can drive the two second rotating shafts 4 to rotate simultaneously.

[0019] Specifically, a lifting assembly is arranged on the top of the base 1. The lifting assembly includes a threaded rod 7 fixedly connected to the top of the second rotating shaft 4. A threaded sleeve 8 is threadedly connected to the outside of the two threaded rods 7. One side of the threaded sleeve 8 is fixedly connected to one side of a cross plate 9. By setting the lifting assembly, the cross plate 9 can be lifted and lowered. A limiting assembly is arranged on the top of the base 1. The limiting assembly includes two symmetrically distributed sliding rods 10 fixedly connected to the top of the base 1. A slider 11 is slidably connected to the outside of the sliding rod 10. One side of the slider 11 is fixedly connected to one side of the cross plate 9. By setting the limiting assembly, the threaded sleeve 8 will not rotate when moving.

[0020] Specifically, a switch assembly is provided on the top of the base 1. The switch assembly includes a connecting plate 12 provided on the top of the sliding rod 10 and the threaded rod 7. One side of the connecting plate 12 is fixedly connected with a fixing plate 14, and a switch 15 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the fixing plate 14. One side of one of the threaded sleeves 8 is fixedly connected with a moving block 13, and the moving block 13 is adapted to the switch 15. By providing the switch assembly, the opening and closing of the second motor 15 can be controlled. Two symmetrically distributed cross plates 9 are provided on the top of the base 1, and a flipping assembly is provided on one side of the cross plate 9. The flipping assembly includes a third rotating shaft 18 rotatably connected to one side of the cross plate 9. One side of the third rotating shaft 18 is fixedly connected with a frame 19. One of the third rotating shafts 18 extends to the other side of the cross plate 9.

One end of the third rotating shaft 18 is fixedly connected to the output end of the second motor 17. By providing the flipping assembly, the FPC can be flipped.

[0021] During use: When the FPC needs to be flipped, the first motor 2 is started. At this time, the output end of the first motor 2 drives the first rotating shaft 3 to rotate. Through the pulleys 5 and the belt 6 provided outside the first rotating shaft 3 and the second rotating shaft 4, the rotation of the first rotating shaft 3 can drive the two second rotating shafts 4 to rotate simultaneously, and then drive the two threaded rods 7 to rotate. At this time, the two threaded sleeves 8 and the cross plate 9 move simultaneously. When the cross plate 9 moves, it drives the slider 11 to slide on the outside of the sliding rod 10, so that when the threaded sleeve 8 moves, it will not rotate. When the moving block 13 contacts the switch 15, the first motor 2 is turned off, and the cross plate 9 is stopped at the current position. The second motor 17 is started, and the second motor 17 drives the third rotating shaft 18 to rotate. Through the rotation of the third rotating shaft 18, the frame 19 and the FPC can be rotated. Through the above-mentioned structure provided, the FPC can be flipped. Before the FPC is flipped by this device, the FPC can be automatically raised, avoiding the drawback that the wider FPC collides with the base 1 during flipping, and the degree of automation is relatively high, which greatly facilitates the use of the staff.
