Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of circuit board etching equipment, in particular to a copper-clad circuit board etching equipment. Background Art
[0002] Copper-clad circuit boards (CCLs) are a fundamental and crucial component of the electronics industry. They are made by hot-pressing a reinforcing material (such as fiberglass) impregnated with resin, coated on one or both sides with copper foil, and then heat-pressed. They are the fundamental material for PCBs and can be used to create single-layer, double-layer, or multi-layer PCBs. Etching equipment is a key component of CCL manufacturing, and the etching step is crucial in the process, removing the unwanted copper foil layer and leaving behind the designed circuit pattern.
[0003] When we actually etch a circuit board, we usually need to first fix the circuit board to be etched using the clamping structure or pressing structure on the etching equipment, and then spray the etching liquid to perform the etching operation. However, the existing clamping structure or pressing structure is mostly for clamping and fixing regular circuit boards. The clamping structure is mostly straight vertically or horizontally. For irregular or special-shaped circuit boards, the performance in actual application is not ideal and still needs further optimization and improvement. To this end, we propose a copper-clad circuit board etching equipment. Utility Model Content

Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0047] Example 1:
[0048] See also Figure 1-3The utility model provides a technical solution: a copper clad circuit board etching device, comprising a workbench 1 with a working area on the upper end surface, a controller installed on the outer wall of the workbench 1, and a mounting frame 2 installed above the workbench 1, an etching component facing the working area is installed on the mounting frame 2, and the etching component comprises an etching liquid delivery pipe 3 and a spray head 9, a valve can be installed on the etching liquid delivery pipe 3 to control the etching liquid delivery amount, and the etching liquid delivery pipe 3 is arranged on the mounting frame 2, the spray head 9 is installed at the liquid outlet end of the etching liquid delivery pipe 3, and a plurality of spray holes are provided on the lower end surface of the spray head 9, and the other end of the etching liquid delivery pipe 3 is used to connect a spray pump (not shown), and the spray pump is used to extract the etching liquid in the etching liquid tank (not shown) Liquid, its spray etching liquid structure is the existing technology and will not be described in detail here. It also includes an inner annular bar 4 and an outer annular bar 5. The inner annular bar 4 and the outer annular bar 5 can be rotatably arranged on the periphery of the working area. Annular racks 6 are installed on the inner wall of the inner annular bar 4 and the outer wall of the outer annular bar 5, and the outer annular bar 5 is located on the periphery of the inner annular bar 4. A telescopic pressure piece 8 is installed at the upper end of the inner annular bar 4, and a deflection pressure piece 7 is installed at the upper end of the outer annular bar 5. The telescopic pressure piece 8 and the deflection pressure piece 7 cooperate to press the circuit board tightly and realize deflection. The deflection pressure piece 7 can ensure the stability of the circuit board. After the etching is completed, the circuit board can be deflected so that the etching liquid remaining in the depression on the upper end surface of the circuit board can be poured down.
[0049] Among them, in the specific implementation of the present utility model, refer to Figure 8 As shown, the deflection and pressing member 7 includes:
[0050] A first support plate 71 , which is fixed to the upper end surface of the outer annular strip 5 ;
[0051] A first motor 72 is mounted on a side of the first support plate 71 facing away from the working area, and a connecting rod 73 passing through the first support plate 71 is mounted on an output end of the first motor 72;
[0052] The first pressing block 74 is mounted on an end of the connecting rod 73 facing away from the first motor 72 .
[0053] See Figure 7 As shown, two telescopic pressing members 8 can be provided on the inner annular strip 4, preferably at 90 degrees between them, one cooperates with the deflecting pressing member 7 to achieve pressing, and the other can cooperate with the pressing to increase stability. When deflection is required, if the cooperating pressing telescopic pressing member 8 produces an obstruction, the cooperating pressing must be released first, and the telescopic pressing member 8 includes: a second support plate 81, which is fixed to the upper end surface of the inner annular strip 4;
[0054] An electric telescopic rod 83 is installed through the second support plate 81;
[0055] The second pressing block 82 is mounted on one end of the electric telescopic rod 83 toward the working area through a bearing.
[0056] The first pressing block 74 and the second pressing block 82 are both provided with grooves for embedding the ends of the circuit board.
[0057] Through the above, in actual use, one end of the circuit board to be etched can be first embedded in the groove of the first pressing block 74, and then the controller can be used to start the second pressing block 82 on the second support plate 81, so that the second pressing block 82 moves toward the circuit board to be etched, so that the other end of the circuit board to be etched is embedded in the groove on the second pressing block 82 and pressed tightly, and then the spray pump can be started, and the etching liquid can be extracted by the spray pump and sent to the etching liquid delivery pipe 3, and then sprayed on the circuit board to be etched through the spray head 9 for etching.
[0058] See Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the copper clad circuit board etching equipment also includes a driving component 10, which includes a first gear driving part 101, a second gear driving part 102 and a main driving part 103. The first gear driving part 101 is used to drive the inner ring bar 4 to rotate, and the second gear driving part 102 is used to drive the outer ring bar 5 to rotate. The main driving part 103 is retractable to achieve the main driving part 103 being engaged and connected to the first gear driving part 101 and / or the second gear driving part 102.
[0059] The inner ring bar 4 and the outer ring bar 5 are rotatable, and the positions of the telescopic pressing member 8 on the inner ring bar 4 and the deflection pressing member 7 on the outer ring bar 5 can be adjusted according to the needs of the circuit board, which is convenient for adjusting irregular or special-shaped circuit boards.
[0060] As mentioned above, when the main driving part 103 is engaged and connected to the first gear driving part 101, the rotation of the inner annular bar 4 is adjusted independently to adjust the position of the telescopic pressure member 8 on the inner annular bar 4; when the main driving part 103 is engaged and connected to the second gear driving part 102, the rotation of the outer annular bar 5 is adjusted independently to adjust the position of the deflection pressure member 7 on the outer annular bar 5; when the main driving part 103 is engaged with the first gear driving part 101 and the second gear driving part 102 at the same time, the inner annular bar 4 and the outer annular bar 5 can rotate simultaneously.
[0061] Among them, in the specific implementation of the present utility model, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first gear driving part 101 includes:
[0062] A first gear 1011, which is engaged with the inner annular bar 4;
[0063] A fifth gear 1013 is disposed inside the workbench 1. A first rod is connected between the fifth gear 1013 and the first gear 1011. The first rod passes through the surface of the workbench 1 via a bearing.
[0064] The third gear 1012 is installed outside the first rod. The third gear 1012 is located above the fifth gear 1013 .
[0065] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the second gear driving portion 102 includes:
[0066] The second gear 1021 is engaged with the outer ring bar 5;
[0067] The fourth gear 1022 is arranged inside the workbench 1. The thickness of the fourth gear 1022 is not less than twice that of the third gear 1012. A second rod is connected between the fourth gear 1022 and the second gear 1021. The second rod passes through the surface of the workbench 1 through a bearing.
[0068] See Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the main driving part 103 includes:
[0069] The telescopic member 1031 is installed at the bottom of the workbench 1. The telescopic member 1031 can be a pneumatic or electric telescopic rod, or a hydraulic cylinder.
[0070] The second motor 1032 is mounted on the top of the telescopic member 1031 and is a forward and reverse motor;
[0071] The driving gear 1033 is mounted on the top of the second motor 1032 via a rotating shaft.
[0072] In summary, the specific implementation methods can be described as follows:
[0073] 1. When independently adjusting the rotation of the inner annular bar 4, the controller is first used to control the telescopic member 1031 to retract, so that the driving gear 1033 is engaged and connected to the fifth gear 1013, and then the second motor 1032 is started, and the output end of the second motor 1032 is used to drive the driving gear 1033 to rotate, and then the fifth gear 1013 is driven to rotate, so that the first gear 1011 is used to drive the inner annular bar 4 equipped with the annular rack 6 to rotate.
[0074] 2. When independently adjusting the rotation of the outer ring bar 5, the telescopic member 1031 is similarly used to drive the second motor 1032 to extend and retract, causing the driving gear 1033 to engage with the lower section of the fourth gear 1022. The output end of the second motor 1032 is then used to rotate the driving gear 1033, which in turn rotates the fourth gear 1022, thereby driving the outer ring bar 5 mounted with the annular rack 6 via the second gear 1021. Embodiments 1 and 2 are more preferably adapted to be used after one end has been determined, at which point the other end can be adjusted.
[0075] 3. When adjusting the positions of the inner and outer ring strips 4 and 5 simultaneously, the telescopic member 1031 is similarly used to drive the second motor 1032 to extend and retract, causing the driving gear 1033 to simultaneously engage with the third gear 1012 and the upper section of the fourth gear 1022. The output end of the second motor 1032 is then similarly used to drive the driving gear 1033 to rotate, thereby achieving simultaneous rotation of the inner and outer ring strips 4 and 5 to adjust their positions. This method allows the deflecting pressure member 7 and the telescopic pressure member 8 to move closer to or farther away from each other in the circumferential direction more quickly.
[0076] Example 2:
[0077] See Figure 4-Figure 6 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that an annular slide 14 is connected to the bottom ends of the inner annular strip 4 and the outer annular strip 5, and an annular groove 13 is provided on the upper end surface of the workbench 1. The annular slide 14 slides in the annular groove 13. The annular slide 14 is composed of a connected annular strip portion and an annular rod portion, and the diameter of the annular rod portion is larger than the width of the annular strip portion. The annular groove 13 is also arranged accordingly. When the inner annular strip 4 and the outer annular strip 5 rotate, the sliding of the annular slide 14 in the annular groove 13 can ensure stability, and the annular rod portion is at the lower end, so that the inner annular strip 4 and the outer annular strip 5 will not move up during the rotation process.
[0078] Example 3:
[0079] See Figure 3-Figure 4 As shown, the difference between this embodiment and the first embodiment is that a leakage hole 12 is opened in the working area of the upper end surface of the workbench 1, a filter is provided in the leakage hole 12, and a collection box 11 is provided inside the workbench 1 and below the leakage hole 12, and the collection box 11 and the main driving part 103 are separated by a partition to prevent the falling etching liquid from contaminating the main driving part 103.
[0080] As described above, the sprayed etching liquid can fall into the collection box 11 through the leak hole 12 for collection, and the impurities contained in the flowing etching liquid can be filtered by the filter, which is conducive to the separation of the collected etching liquid and impurities, reducing the workload of subsequent screening.
