[0002] In today's rapidly developing electronics industry, copper clad laminates (CCLs), as a core material for printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing, are becoming increasingly important. As technology advances, product designs are becoming increasingly miniaturized and complex, placing higher demands on the performance and production process of CCLs.

[0003] Copper-clad laminate (CCL) is a sheet material made by impregnating a reinforcing material with resin, coating one or both sides with copper foil, and then hot-pressing. It is commonly used as the substrate for printed circuit boards. Its excellent electrical properties and mechanical strength make it widely used in smartphones, computers, automotive electronics, and various consumer electronics. Shearing is an essential step in the production of CCL, which generates a large amount of waste material, which takes up production space and places a strain on the environment.

[0004] Traditionally, the processing of scrap materials relies primarily on manual collection. This method is not only inefficient but can also cause production line stoppages, disrupting production flow and resulting in a waste of time and resources. Therefore, how to quickly and effectively process these scrap materials has become a pressing issue within the industry. Utility Model Content

[0039] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features of the embodiments in this application can be combined with each other. The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0040] The present application provides a device for collecting scraps of sheared sheet materials, wherein the sheet material can be any one of a copper-clad laminate, an insulating board, a copper-clad resin sheet, a resin film, or a circuit board. The present application does not specifically limit the type of sheet material.

[0041] See Figures 1 to 3 In one embodiment, the collecting device includes a receiving component, a material turning and pouring component located below the receiving component, a transport component 1 located below the material turning and pouring component, and a material pushing component 2 located above the transport component 1.

[0042] Specifically, the receiving assembly includes at least two receiving units 3, and the at least two receiving units 3 are respectively used to receive sheared scraps of different length directions. It is worth noting that the length direction of the sheared scraps is determined by the shape of the sheet material.

[0043] The receiving unit 3 includes two opposing material guide troughs 31, a cover plate 32 hingedly connected to the bottom end of one of the material guide troughs 31, and a material receiving pipe 33 disposed at the top end of each of the two material guide troughs 31. The distance between the two material guide troughs 31 gradually decreases from the top end to the bottom end, forming a discharge port (not shown) between the bottom ends of the two material guide troughs 31. The cover plate 32 is configured to close or open the discharge port in response to the action of a power element (not shown).

[0044] The power element can be a conventional drive cylinder, motor, or hydraulic cylinder. The receiving pipe 33 is used to connect to the sheet material shearing production line. The shearing waste generated by the sheet material shearing production line enters the material guide chute 31 through the receiving pipe 33 and is discharged from the discharge port.

[0045] The material adjustment and dumping assembly is used to receive the shearing waste dropped from the two receiving units 3 and adjust the length direction of the shearing waste to the standard direction. The transportation assembly 1 is used to receive and transport the shearing waste dumped from the material adjustment and dumping assembly, and the standard direction is consistent with the transportation direction of the transportation assembly 1.

[0046] In this embodiment, the transport assembly 1 can be a roller conveyor, a chain conveyor, or a belt conveyor, which is a conventional structure and will not be described in detail here. By adjusting the length direction of the sheared waste to be consistent with the transport direction of the transport assembly 1, the problem of sheared waste being delayed or accumulated due to its excessive length can be avoided.

[0047] In some embodiments, the length of the sheared scraps received by at least one receiving unit 3 is aligned with a standard orientation. This design is intended to reduce the amount of sheared scraps that require orientation adjustment, thereby reducing energy consumption. In a preferred embodiment, long sheared scraps remain aligned with the standard orientation, while short sheared scraps undergo necessary adjustments. This reduces the space required for adjustments, improves production efficiency, simplifies the operating process, and enhances product quality.

[0048] As described above, the direction-adjusting and pouring assembly includes a first pouring unit 4 and a second pouring unit 5. The first pouring unit 4 is used to receive and adjust the sheared waste edges whose length direction is inconsistent with the standard direction, and the second pouring unit 5 is used to receive the sheared waste edges whose length direction is consistent with the standard direction.

[0049] In detail, the first unloading unit 4 includes a first horizontal transmission mechanism 41, a rotating mechanism (not shown) rotatably arranged on the first horizontal transmission mechanism 41, a first receiving groove 43 hinged on the rotating mechanism, and a first driving mechanism 42 for driving the first receiving groove 43 to tilt in the height direction.

[0050] The second unloading unit 5 includes a second horizontal transmission mechanism 51, a second receiving groove 53 hinged on the second horizontal transmission mechanism 51, and a second driving mechanism 52 for driving the second receiving groove 53 to tilt in the height direction. In order to facilitate the position adjustment of the unloading assembly and the transport assembly 1, the first unloading unit 4 and the second unloading unit 5 are both arranged above the transport assembly 1 via a frame 7.

[0051] In this embodiment, the first horizontal transmission mechanism 41 and the second horizontal transmission mechanism 51 may be belt conveyors or slide rail and slider transmission mechanisms. The rotation mechanism may be an electric rotation device or a pneumatic rotation device. The first drive mechanism 42 and the second drive mechanism 52 may be crank slider mechanisms composed of hydraulic cylinders or electric cylinders. These are conventional structures, and their operating principles are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0052] Of course, in other embodiments, when the sheet material has other shapes, such as pentagons or triangles, in order to effectively collect shear waste in different length directions, the number of first discharging units 4 is at least two, with at least two first discharging units 4 receiving and adjusting shear waste in different length directions in a one-to-one manner. This application does not limit the number of first discharging units 4. Similarly, this application does not limit the number of second discharging units 5.

[0053] The pusher assembly 2 is used to push the sheared scraps from the transport assembly 1 into a collection box 6 located on one side of the transport assembly 1. In some embodiments, the collection box 6 is a foldable metal box. Of course, in other embodiments, the collection box 6 can also be a wooden box or a cardboard box, which is not specifically limited in this application.

[0054] In this embodiment, the pusher assembly 2 includes a pusher brush 21, a detection member (not shown) and an actuator 22 for driving the pusher brush 21 to reciprocate. The detection member is connected to the actuator 22 by signal. The detection member is used to detect whether there is shear waste in the target area. The actuator 22 drives the pusher brush 21 according to the detection result of the detection member. The detection member can be a photoelectric sensor, a proximity sensor, or a pressure sensor, and the actuator 22 can be a driving cylinder, a motor, or a hydraulic cylinder, which is a conventional structure. It is worth noting that the above-mentioned target area is located within the moving trajectory of the pusher brush 21 and is located directly in front of the pusher brush 21.

[0055] In some embodiments, the first unloading unit 4, the pushing assembly 2, the transport assembly 1, and the collection box 6 are arranged in a one-to-one configuration, while the second unloading unit 5, the pushing assembly 2, the transport assembly 1, and the collection box 6 are arranged in a one-to-one configuration. This design enables the classified collection of different shearing wastes, reducing material mixing, facilitating subsequent processing and reuse, and improving material reuse and economic benefits. Furthermore, this layout allows operators to easily identify and manage shearing waste, reducing operational complexity and manual intervention, thereby improving overall work efficiency and system reliability.

[0056] For example, a rectangular sheet material is used, and there are two receiving units 3, two transport components 1, two collection boxes 6, and two pusher components 2. The two receiving units 3 are used to receive the sheared scraps in the length direction of the sheet material and the sheared scraps in the width direction of the sheet material, respectively. That is, the length directions of the two sheared scraps are perpendicular to each other. The working steps of the collection device of this embodiment are as follows:

[0057] S1: The covers of the two receiving units close the discharge ports, and the first sheared scraps with a length direction perpendicular to the standard direction generated by shearing the sheet material fall into one of the receiving units, and the second sheared scraps with a length direction consistent with the standard direction fall into the other receiving unit;

[0058] S2: The covers of the two receiving units open the discharge ports, so that the first sheared scrap is discharged to the first discharge unit and the second sheared scrap is discharged to the second discharge unit;

[0059] S3: The first unloading unit rotates to adjust the length direction of the first sheared scrap to the standard direction, and moves to the top of the corresponding transport component for unloading; the second unloading unit moves to the top of the corresponding transport component and unloads;

[0060] S4: The two pushing components push the sheared scraps entering the target area into the corresponding collection boxes respectively;

[0061] S5: Repeat steps S1 to S4 until the shearing work is completed and all shearing waste edges are collected.

[0062] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this application compared with the prior art are:

[0063] The device for collecting sheared scraps from sheet materials, as described in this application, automates the collection process of sheared scraps through a pre-defined receiving component, a material-discharging component, a transport component, and a material-pushing component, thereby reducing the need for manual intervention. Compared to traditional methods that rely on manual collection, the device can operate continuously and efficiently, maintaining production rhythm and avoiding production line downtime. The automated process also reduces the potential for errors caused by human intervention.

[0064] Furthermore, by providing a directional discharge assembly to align the length of the sheared waste with the transport assembly's direction of transport, we can effectively avoid the problems of sheared waste being stranded and accumulated due to its excessive length. This design ensures that the sheared waste can move smoothly during transportation, avoiding blockages and ensuring the uniformity and effectiveness of subsequent processing or recycling.

[0065] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only preferred embodiments of the present application and are not intended to limit the present application. Although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein.
