The FPC circuit board (the FPC circuit board is also called a flexible circuit board. A flexible circuit board is a highly reliable and excellent flexible printed circuit board made of polyimide or polyester film. When a printed circuit board needs to be cut during the assembly process, a V-cut circuit board cutting machine, a milling cutter type circuit board cutting machine, an electric-hybrid design, and milling cutter cutting are required. It is especially suitable for dividing precision SMD thin plates, aluminum circuit boards, and operates in a guillotine manner.

The pressure of the cylinder will damage sensitive components on the circuit board, thus affecting the cutting effect. Therefore, a fully automatic circuit board cutting machine for printed circuit board assemblies needs to be proposed. Content of the Utility Model

[0006] Preferably, the fixed fixture forms a sliding structure with the machine body through the workbench surface, and the eight fourth servo modules are used in cooperation with the workbench surface.

[0007] Preferably, the fixed fixture is snap-connected to the upper and lower cylinders through positioning pins, and the positioning pins are symmetrically arranged with respect to the central axis of the cover plate.

[0008] Preferably, the manipulator bracket forms a telescopic structure with the fifth servo module through a lead screw, and the manipulator bracket is movably connected to the lead screw.

[0009] Preferably, the suction cup holder forms a lifting structure with the manipulator bracket through the sixth servo module, and the central line of the suction cup holder coincides with the central line of the sixth servo module.

[0010] Preferably, a first module fixing bracket is fixedly installed inside the machine body. A first servo module is arranged on one side of the first module fixing bracket.

Through the setting of the positioning pins, the cover plate can be directly limited, which is convenient for strengthening the stability of cutting later. Such a setting reduces costs and also enhances stability;

[0014] 2. For this fully automatic circuit board cutting machine for printed circuit board assemblies, through the settings of the milling cutter, vacuum hose and vacuum pump, a lot of dust will be generated during the cutting of the circuit board.

[0023] Please refer to Figure 1-6, the present utility model provides a technical solution: a fully automatic circuit board cutting machine for printed circuit board assemblies, including that there are 8 fourth servo modules 2 arranged inside the machine body 1, the outside of the 8 fourth servo modules 2 is movably connected with a workbench surface 3, above the workbench surface 3 is movably connected with a fixed fixture 4, above the fixed fixture 4 is movably connected with a cover plate 5, inside the machine body 1 are fixedly installed up-and-down cylinders 6, above the up-and-down cylinders 6 are fixedly installed positioning pins 7, on the left and right of the workbench surface 3 are fixedly installed electromagnets 8, inside the machine body 1 is fixedly installed a fifth servo module 9, on one side of the fifth servo module 9 is arranged a servo motor 10, on one side of the servo motor 10 is fixedly installed a lead screw 11, the outside of the lead screw 11 is movably connected with a manipulator bracket 12, below the manipulator bracket 12 is arranged a sixth servo module 13, below the sixth servo module 13 is arranged a suction cup bracket 14, inside the suction cup bracket 14 is fixedly installed a connecting plate 15, above the connecting plate 15 are movably connected limiting frames 16, on one side of the limiting frames 16 is arranged a suction cup rod 17, the upper end of the suction cup rod 17 is movably connected with an air pipe 18, inside the machine body 1 is fixedly installed a first module fixing bracket 19, on one side of the first module fixing bracket 19 is arranged a first servo module 20, the outside of the first servo module 20 is movably connected with a first cutting head fixing bracket 21, above the first cutting head fixing bracket 21 is arranged a servo motor 22, inside the servo motor 22 is movably connected with a second cutting head fixing bracket 21, the second cutting head fixing bracket 21 is connected with a cutting head frame 24, below the cutting head frame 24 is arranged a milling cutter 25;

[0024] Please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , on one side of the cutting head frame 24 is arranged a vacuum hose 26, one end of the vacuum hose 26 is provided with a vacuum pump 27. By starting the vacuum pump 27, during the cutting process, dust spirals upward along with the milling cutter 25 and is sucked away by the vacuum hose 26. Such a setting improves the dust removal efficiency.

[0025] Working principle: When using this fully automatic circuit board component cutting machine, first connect to the external power supply. Then connect multiple suction cup rods 17 on the limit frame 16 to an external air pump through an air pipe 18. The driving mechanism linearly pushes the suction cup frame 14 and the suction cup rods 17 to descend to adsorb the circuit board. When contacting the circuit board, turn off the switch of the sixth servo module 13. Then, for the adsorbed circuit board, turn on the switch of the servo motor 10. When current passes through the motor coil, a magnetic field will be generated, causing the rotor of the motor to generate magnetic force, thereby generating a rotational force to drive the screw rod 11 to rotate. The rotation drives the manipulator bracket 12 and the suction cup frame 14 to move left and right simultaneously. After moving the circuit board above the fixed fixture 4, turn off the external air pump switch and the servo motor 10 switch. Then place the circuit board on the fixed fixture 4. Then turn on the switch of the fourth servo module 2 to drive the workbench surface 3 and the fixed fixture 4 to slide to the cutting area. After sliding to the position, turn off the switch of the fourth servo module 2. Then, through the operation of moving the suction cup frame 14 just now, adsorb the cover plate 5 onto the circuit board on the fixed fixture 4. Let the cover plate 5 fall onto the positioning pins 7 on both sides of the fixed fixture 4 for positioning. Then turn on the switch of the first servo module 20 to drive the first cutting head fixing support 21 and the milling cutter 25 below to move above the circuit board. After moving above, turn off the switch of the first servo module 20. Next, turn on the switch of the servo motor 22 to drive the power source of the cutting head, and the milling cutter 25 descends to cut the surface of the circuit board. When cutting, turn on the switch of the vacuum pump 27, and adsorb the dust generated during the cutting of the milling cutter 25 through the vacuum hose 26. Then, after the milling cutter 25 cuts through the circuit board to the bottom, when the circuit board cutting is completed, turn off the switch of the vacuum pump 27. Finally, cut off the external power supply. Just like this, the use process of this fully automatic circuit board component cutting machine is completed.
