Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of flexible circuit board production, in particular to a drying device for flexible circuit boards. Background Art
[0002] Flexible circuit boards are one of the most common circuit boards. Due to their soft texture, bendability, and extreme thinness, they are widely used in electronic devices with harsh installation environments and strict requirements on the thickness of the molded electronic devices. Flexible circuit boards need to go through multiple processes during the production process, including cleaning and drying.
[0003] A Chinese patent application (or patent) with publication number CN213638415U discloses a flexible circuit board drying device comprising a base, a drying box, and a drying plate. The drying box is located above the base and fixedly connected to it via a support rod. The drying box is a hollow structure with ventilation slots defined in its side. A hot air blower is fixedly connected to the left side of the base, and its output is connected to the ventilation slots via a hose. Multiple air outlet nozzles are symmetrically arranged on the upper and lower sides of the inner wall of the drying box, connecting to the ventilation slots via an air duct. First slots are defined in the drying box on the left and right sides of the air duct, and the air duct engages with the first slots via a latch. Exhaust fans are located on the right side of the drying box, and the air outlets of the exhaust fans are connected to an air filter mechanism via an air duct. This utility model, through the evenly spaced nozzles and drying frame, can dry multiple circuit boards at once.
[0004] The above-mentioned flexible circuit board drying device has a snap-in sliding groove on the inner wall of its drying box, that is, the drying box is snap-in slidingly connected to the drying frame through the snap-in sliding groove. When drying the flexible circuit board, the flexible circuit board needs to be snap-into the drying frame. During the drying process, the drying frame will also be heated, which makes the surface of the drying frame hot and difficult to remove from the frame immediately, which is not conducive to batch drying work. In addition, the right side of the drying box also has an exhaust fan, and the drying box is connected to the polluted gas treatment box through the exhaust fan. The drying gas is treated by the polluted gas treatment box and then directly discharged into the surrounding environment. Therefore, the high-temperature gas is directly discharged into the surrounding environment, which not only increases the temperature of the working area and reduces the comfort of the staff, but also causes the direct discharge of this part of the high-temperature gas to waste thermal resources. To this end, we provide a drying device for flexible circuit boards to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content
