Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of flexible circuit board production, in particular to a flexible circuit board drying device. Background Art

[0002] Flexible printed circuit board, also known as "soft board", is a printed circuit made of flexible insulating substrate. It has many advantages that rigid printed circuit boards do not have. It can be bent, wound, and folded freely, can be arranged arbitrarily according to spatial layout requirements, and can be moved and stretched arbitrarily in three-dimensional space, thereby achieving the integration of component assembly and wire connection. The use of FPC can greatly reduce the size of electronic products and meet the needs of electronic products developing towards high density, miniaturization, and high reliability.

[0003] The specific design and structure of the flexible circuit board drying device may vary depending on the manufacturer and application requirements, but generally speaking, they all include the following key parts: the body frame, heating system and air circulation system, etc. Among them, the body frame serves as the basic supporting structure of the entire drying device and is made of sturdy and durable materials such as stainless steel or high-quality steel to ensure the stability and durability of the equipment; the heating system is the core part of the drying device, usually including heating elements and temperature control systems. The heating elements are responsible for generating heat, while the temperature control system ensures the stability and controllability of the temperature during the drying process; the air circulation system is used to enhance the drying effect. The system includes components such as fans, air ducts and dampers. The fan blows to form a certain airflow, which evenly transfers heat to the flexible circuit boards and removes moisture and impurities on the surface.

[0004] The existing flexible circuit board drying device has certain disadvantages when used. If multiple circuit boards need to be dried at the same time, the multiple circuit boards are usually stacked together. Not only are the surfaces easily scratched by collisions, but the heating is also uneven, the drying is insufficient, the drying speed is slow, the efficiency is low, and a period of waiting is required after drying. Otherwise, the temperature inside the drying box after drying is often high, which can easily cause scalding accidents and poor safety. The existing flexible circuit board drying device often cannot accurately control the drying time, which can easily cause excessive drying and damage to the flexible circuit boards. To address the above problems, a flexible circuit board drying device is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to make up for the deficiencies of the prior art and address the problems existing in the existing equipment, the utility model proposes a flexible circuit board drying device.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by the utility model to solve the technical problem is a flexible circuit board drying device, comprising a drying box, wherein four drying plates are provided in the drying box, drying grooves are provided in the four drying plates, S-shaped heating tubes are provided in the four drying grooves, and ventilation holes are provided in an array on the four drying plates;

[0007] A motor protection cover is provided at the bottom of the drying box, a drying motor is provided inside the motor protection cover, a pulley is provided at the output end of the drying motor, a transmission shaft is rotatably provided on the drying plate at the bottom of the drying box, the bottom end of the transmission shaft is rotatably provided at the bottom of the drying box, and a pulley is provided on the transmission shaft, the transmission belt is connected through the pulley provided at the output end of the drying motor and the pulley provided on the transmission shaft, a drying fan is provided on the transmission shaft, and a filter plate is provided above the drying fan.

[0008] Preferably, three pressure plates are provided in the drying box, an MS5837-30BA pressure sensor is provided at the center of the pressure plate, a receiving plate is placed on the pressure plate, the three receiving plates are provided with receiving grooves for placing the flexible circuit boards, anti-scalding rods are provided at both ends of the three receiving plates, three movable grooves are provided on the drying box, the three anti-scalding rods are respectively placed in the three movable grooves, and ventilation holes for hot air to enter and exit are provided on the three receiving plates; by arranging the anti-scalding rods and movable grooves, the dried flexible circuit boards can be directly moved out of the device through the receiving plate, preventing users from directly contacting the drying device that has just been used and causing burns, thereby improving the safety of the drying device.

[0009] Preferably, an operation panel is provided on the top of the drying box, and the operation panel is electrically connected to the three S-shaped heating tubes and the drying motor, and the operation panel is electrically connected to an external power supply; the device is connected to the external power supply wire to provide a stable power supply for the device, so that the device can operate normally, and the control panel can be used to set different temperatures and working times for the device according to the dryness and wetness of the flexible circuit board, so as to avoid damage to the flexible circuit board due to excessively high baking temperature, or incomplete drying of the flexible circuit board due to excessively low baking temperature, which affects the drying effect.

[0010] Preferably, there are three drying layers between the four drying plates, and the three receiving plates are respectively arranged in one drying layer. By arranging the receiving plate between two drying plates, both sides of the flexible circuit board can be dried simultaneously, thereby improving the drying efficiency of the flexible circuit board and making the drying efficiency of the flexible circuit board higher.

[0011] Preferably, the tops of the three movable grooves are provided with drying doors for receiving the board in and out, and the three drying doors are movably arranged on the outer wall of the drying box through hinges; when the flexible circuit board is dried, the drying door can act as a closed space, thereby improving heat utilization efficiency and avoiding waste.

[0012] Preferably, the bottom surface of the drying box is provided with four universal wheels, which enables the device to change direction only by rotating the wheels without changing the overall direction. This flexibility makes it easier to move and adjust the device in a small space or on a complex path.

[0013] The benefit of the present invention lies in that a pressure plate is set in the device, a pressure sensor is installed at the center of the pressure plate, and a receiving plate is placed on the pressure plate. Since the weight of the flexible circuit board is different before and after drying, the device can determine whether the flexible circuit board is dried based on the weight of the receiving plate transmitted by the pressure sensor, thereby avoiding damage to the flexible circuit board caused by excessive drying of the device.

[0014] By setting anti-scalding rods at both ends of the receiving plate and opening a movable groove for the receiving plate to enter and exit on the drying box, the heated flexible circuit board can be moved out of the flexible circuit board by lifting the movable groove on the side of the receiving plate, preventing the user from directly contacting the drying device that has just been used and causing burns, thereby improving the safety of the drying device.
