[0002] In the developing tank, the DFR on the material surface contacts the developing solution, and the DFR that has not undergone photopolymerization reaction dissolves in the developing solution, exposing the underlying copper material. After passing through the water washing tank, the residual developing solution on the material surface is washed away. After entering the etching tank, the exposed copper material contacts the etching solution and undergoes an oxidation-reduction reaction; the copper material covered by DFR does not contact the etching solution and no reaction occurs. The etched material undergoes pickling and water washing to remove the residual etching solution on the surface. After entering the stripping tank, the DFR that has undergone photopolymerization reaction dissolves in the stripping solution. The material from which DFR has been stripped undergoes pickling and water washing to remove the residual stripping solution on the surface, and then passes through drying to finally obtain the lead frame product.

[0021] The following further Figures 1-3 elaborates on this application in detail.

[0022] An embodiment of this application discloses an on-line detection device for a lead frame etching production line. Referring to Figures 1-3 , an on-line detection device for a lead frame etching production line includes a conveyor frame 1 and a plurality of detection mechanisms 2 fixedly arranged on the conveyor frame 1. The conveyor frame 1 includes a base fixedly arranged on the ground, and two side plates are symmetrically installed on the upper part of the base. The detection mechanism 2 includes a bracket 201 welded on the upper parts of the two side plates, and a scanning camera 202 is installed on the bracket 201. A conveying mechanism 3 for automatically adjusting the scanning angle of the lead frame along the moving direction is installed on the upper part of the conveyor frame 1. The conveying mechanism 3 includes a conveyor roller group 301, a conveyor belt 302 is sleeved on the conveyor roller group 301, translation areas 303 are installed at both ends above the conveyor belt 302, a wave area 304 is installed at the middle position above the conveyor belt 302, and toggle frames 305 for continuously adjusting the lead frame are symmetrically installed on each inclined surface of the wave area 304 on the upper surface of the conveyor belt 302.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the conveyor belt 302 cooperates with the conveyor roller group 301 to be wavy, so that the lead frame can move horizontally in the translation area 303, and when passing through the wave area 304, it can be opposite to the scanning camera 202 above at a certain angle, so that the scanning camera 202 can capture some positions that the lead frame cannot scan by translation, thereby providing more comprehensive data for subsequent quality analysis and making the detection more comprehensive and accurate.

[0024] Reference Figures 1-2 The conveying roller group 301 is composed of a plurality of belt rollers 3011 and a plurality of guide rollers 3012. The plurality of belt rollers 3011 and the plurality of guide rollers 3012 are rotatably installed between two side plates. The conveying belt 302 is sleeved on the surface of the belt rollers 3011. The plurality of guide rollers 3012 are symmetrically movable in pairs against the inner and outer edges of the upper surface of the conveying belt 302.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, one of the belt rollers 3011 is driven by an external drive motor, and the belt roller 3011 rotates to drive the conveyor belt 302 to move, so that the lead frame first passes through the left end translation area 303 for horizontal scanning, and then passes through the wave area 304 to make the lead frame tilted and transported, so that the upper scanning camera 202 can scan the side blind spots of the lead frame, providing more comprehensive data parameters for the same lead frame.

[0026] Reference Figure 3 The toggle frame 305 includes a connecting frame 3051, and a plurality of toggle rods 3052 are installed on the side of the connecting frame 3051. A pressure detection probe 3053 is movably installed at the front end of the toggle rod 3052, and a reset spring 3054 is sleeved on the surface of the pressure detection probe 3053, and the inner and outer plurality of toggle rods 3052 are staggeredly distributed on the inclined surface of the toggle area. A sliding unit 4 is installed at the bottom of the base. The sliding unit 4 includes a slide rail fixedly arranged on the base, and two screws are rotatably installed on the slide rail. Two sliders with opposite threads are threadedly installed on the two screws. The slider is movably installed on the slide rail, and a bidirectional motor is connected between the two screws. The upper part of the slider is fixedly connected to the connecting frame 3051 through a connecting rod.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, the lead frame moves on the conveyor belt 302, and when the edge touches the toggle rod 3052, it can be toggled by the toggle rod 3052, so that the lead frame will not always maintain a tilted posture, and can produce different tilted postures as it touches different toggle rods 3052, so that the scanning camera 202 can capture more pictures, and make a more accurate judgment for the subsequent judgment of the etching quality of the lead frame, and the inner and outer wave frames can be adjusted according to the specific model of the lead frame to ensure that the wave frames can stably touch the lead frame.

[0028] Reference Figure 1 Two limit plates 5 are movably installed on the inclined surface of the toggle area, the limit plates 5 are fixedly connected to the side plates through connecting rods, and the toggle rod 3052 is movably plugged into the limit plates 5.

[0029] By adopting the above technical solution, the lead frame moving in the wave area 304 on the conveyor belt 302 is limited by the limiting plate 5 to ensure that the lead frame is always in the center position of the conveyor belt 302.

[0030] The implementation principle of an online detection device for a lead frame etching production line in an embodiment of the present application is as follows: placing the etched lead frame at one end of a conveyor belt 302, and the conveyor belt 302 is connected to a belt roller 3011 through an external drive motor, so that the conveyor belt 302 drives the lead frame to move, and the scanning camera 202 above scans the translated lead frame, and then when the lead frame moves to the wave area 304, the lead frame tilts with the inclination of the conveyor belt 302, so that the scanning camera 202 above captures more detailed images of the lead frame, and at the same time, when the lead frame moves in the wave area 304, the wave rod at the front end of the wave frame can touch the lead frame, so that the posture of the lead frame changes, so that the lead frame can be captured dynamically by the scanning camera 202, providing more scanning data for subsequent judgment of the quality of the lead frame.
