Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of PCB processing, in particular to a grinding machine used for PCB processing. Background Art

[0002] PCBs are typically the mainboards of electronic devices, carrying integrated circuits. They are the core unit of nearly all electronic devices. After production, PCBs typically require grinding using a grinder. For example, Chinese utility model patent No. CN215394549U discloses a PCB sample grinder, comprising a base, a grinding mechanism, and a sample adsorption device. The grinding device includes a turntable, a magnetic ring, sandpaper and a pressure ring. The magnetic attraction of the magnetic ring can adsorb the pressure ring, and the pressure ring is stably fixed on the turntable so that the pressure ring presses the sandpaper. Since the pressure ring is fixed by magnetic attraction, compared with the existing technology that relies solely on the pressure ring's own gravity to complete the fixation, the present application can well prevent the pressure ring from shaking or even flying out of the turntable due to excessive centrifugal force, greatly improving the safety of the PCB sample grinder, and can well hold the sandpaper; since the PCB sample grinder includes a sample adsorption device, the sample adsorption device uses an adsorption disk to vacuum adsorb the PCB sample. Compared with the existing technology that uses tweezers to clamp the PCB sample, the present application will not cause the PCB sample to fall onto the turntable due to insufficient force or no force, thereby affecting the grinding efficiency of the PCB sample.

[0026] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, a grinding device 2 for PCB board processing includes a workbench 1, on which a grinding device 2 is provided, and the grinding device 2 is used to grind PCB boards. The workbench 1 is also provided with a linear motor 101, and a robotic arm 102 is provided on the linear motor 101. The linear motor 101 drives the robotic arm 102 to move back and forth. A loading device 4 is provided at one end of the workbench 1, and a unloading device 5 is provided at the other end. The loading device 4 and the unloading device 5 are arranged opposite to each other, wherein the loading device 4 includes a loading base frame 401 and a loading conveyor belt 402 arranged on the loading base frame 401, and the unloading device 5 includes a unloading base frame 501 and a unloading conveyor belt 502 arranged on the unloading base frame 501. The robotic arm 102 is used to transport the PCB board on the loading device 4 to the grinding device 2 for grinding and then transport the ground PCB board to the unloading device 5. The robotic arm 102 includes a bottom arm 103, a first shaft arm 104 and a second shaft arm 105, wherein the bottom end of the bottom arm 103 is installed on the linear motor 101, one end of the first shaft arm 104 is rotatably connected to the top end of the bottom arm 103, and the other end of the first shaft arm 104 is rotatably connected to the second shaft arm 105, and the other end of the second shaft arm 105 is detachably connected to the material picking and placing assembly 106.

[0028] Furthermore, the material taking and unloading component 106 includes a truss 107, one end of the truss 107 is connected to the second axis arm 105, and the other end of the truss 107 is provided with two or more parallel rods 108, and the rods 108 are provided with arranged vacuum suction nozzles 109, and the distance between adjacent vacuum suction nozzles 109 can be adjusted. The vacuum suction nozzle 109 is connected to the outer air pump to achieve suction or ejection.

[0029] Furthermore, the grinding device 2 includes a driving motor 201, a transmission component 202, a turntable 206, and sandpaper 207. The driving motor 201 is arranged in the workbench 1, the transmission component 202 drives the turntable 206 to rotate, and the sandpaper 207 is arranged on the turntable 206. The turntable 206 can drive the sandpaper 207 to rotate together, and the sandpaper 207 is used to grind the PCB board. The sandpaper 207 is connected to the turntable 206 through a magnetic component 208, wherein the magnetic component 208 includes a magnetic ring 209 and a pressure ring 210, wherein the magnetic ring 209 is sleeved on the turntable 206, and the sandpaper 207 is arranged on the top surface of the turntable 206, wherein the pressure ring 210 is also provided with an iron ring layer 211, and the magnetic ring 209 is used to absorb the iron ring layer 211, so that the pressure ring 210 is fixed on the turntable 206 so that the pressure ring 210 presses the sandpaper 207. Due to the pressure Ring 210 is provided with an iron ring layer 211. Under the magnetic attraction of magnetic ring 209, pressure ring 210 can be fixed to turntable 206. Pressure ring 210 can press sandpaper 207, so that sandpaper 207 is clamped between turntable 206 and pressure ring 210. This prevents sandpaper 207 from flying off turntable 206 due to excessive centrifugal force caused by pressure ring 210 when the drive motor 201 is activated to output power to rotate turntable 206 to grind the PCB board. Sandpaper 207 can also be adhered to turntable 206 using Velcro.

[0030] Furthermore, the transmission assembly 202 includes a driving pulley 203, a driven pulley 204, and a belt 205. The driving pulley 203 is connected to the drive shaft of the drive motor 201, the driven pulley 204 is connected to the turntable 206, and the belt 205 is connected to the driving pulley 203 and the driven pulley 204 respectively. The driving pulley 203 is a component connected to the drive shaft of the drive motor 201, and the belt 205 is an intermediate component connecting the driving pulley 203 and the driven pulley 204. When the drive motor 201 outputs power, the driven pulley 204 can rotate along with the driving pulley 203 under the action of the belt 205, thereby allowing the turntable 206 to rotate.

[0031] Furthermore, the workbench 1 is also provided with a water outlet device 3, which includes a water pump 301 and a water outlet pipe 302. The water outlet pipe 302 is connected to the water pump 301, wherein the water outlet pipe 302 of the water outlet device 3 extends to the top of the grinding device 2. The water outlet pipe 302 is simultaneously started when the grinding device 2 starts grinding, and is used to cool the grinding device 2 and at the same time avoid the generation of dust by the grinding device 2 during grinding. A water retaining ring 110 is also provided on the workbench 1. The water retaining ring 110 is arranged around the grinding device 2. The water retaining ring 110 plays a role of blocking water. When water is added to the sandpaper 207, the rotation drives the sandpaper 207 to rotate, which will cause water droplets to splash on the sandpaper 207. The provision of the water retaining ring 110 can effectively avoid the splashing of water droplets. An opening 111 is provided on the water retaining ring 110, and a water flow groove 112 matching the opening 111 is provided on the workbench 1. When the water level in the water retaining ring 110 is too high, the water retaining ring 110 can be rotated to connect the water flow groove 112 to drain the water in the water retaining ring 110.
