Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to a sheet material alignment cutting device, in particular to a sheet material alignment cutting device which can cut metal diaphragms and insulating diaphragms into predetermined shapes and then process and combine them. The metal diaphragms and insulating diaphragms are fed out by a feeding unit, cut through a cutting section, and then transported by a conveying unit to a processing unit for processing and combination, thereby achieving the purpose of quickly forming the required sheet material shape. Background Art

[0002] The rapid development of technology and information has led to the continuous introduction of new electronic products and devices on the market. These devices often contain printed circuit boards (PCBs) for mounting electronic components. These electronic components with different functions or roles are integrated into the electronic circuits formed by the PCBs, enabling these devices to function effectively. As the use of PCBs becomes more widespread, manufacturers of related process equipment are actively investing in research and development.

[0003] Sheet-shaped circuit boards are generally categorized as rigid and flexible boards based on their flexibility. They can be categorized by shape into single-sided, double-sided, and multilayer boards. Material-based boards include paper-based copper foil boards, composite boards, glass fiber cloth copper foil boards, soft or rigid copper foil boards, ceramic boards, metal boards, and thermoplastic boards. Copper foil laminate (CCL) is an essential and key base material in the circuit board manufacturing process. It is a laminate formed under high temperature and high pressure by laminating a prepreg (also known as a film) made by impregnating insulating paper, glass fiber cloth, or other fiber materials with resin with copper foil. Before processing, the prepreg is continuously wound to form a roll of material. After slitting and slicing, the cut sheets are stacked, heated to a certain temperature, and then pressed and cured to form a substrate of the desired thickness. This substrate is then copper-clad on one or both sides, and then laminated and cured to form a sheet of copper foil.

[0004] To meet the production needs of copper foil substrates, flexible circuit boards, or printed circuit boards, continuous adhesive films are fed into a cutting machine to be cut into sheets, and then one or both sides of the film are bonded to the board material. However, copper foil substrates, flexible circuit boards, or printed circuit boards may have different sizes, widths, and lengths when used. However, conventional board materials and films are cut into predetermined sizes. If special sizes, lengths, or widths are required, manual cutting, alignment, and bonding operations must be performed. This slows down the processing speed, consumes time and labor, and easily increases the product defect rate. These shortcomings urgently need to be improved.

[0005] Therefore, how to solve the troubles and inconveniences of having to manually handle the operation when the plate sheets are used in different dimensional changes, and the troubles and shortcomings of manual operation such as being extremely time-consuming, labor-intensive, and having a high product defect rate, are the areas that relevant manufacturers engaged in this industry are eager to research and improve.
