On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the understanding of the disclosure of the present application more thorough and comprehensive.

The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items. In addition, in the description of this application, the meaning of "several" is at least one, such as one, two, etc., unless otherwise clearly and specifically limited.

[0021] In this application, the technical features described in an open manner include closed technical solutions composed of the listed features, and also include open technical solutions containing the listed features.

[0022] The utility model proposes a PCB circuit board UV exposure machine, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, specifically, it includes a base 1, a loading component 6, a detection component 7, a light source component 4 and a reflective component. The light source component 4 is arranged above the base 1, and the light source component 4 is used to perform light radiation exposure on the circuit board coated with photosensitive adhesive to generate a pattern. The loading component 6 is arranged at the front end of the base 1, and the loading component 6 includes a feed plate 8 and a servo motor driven by the feed plate 8. The detection component 7 is arranged above the feed plate 8, and the detection component 7 is used to scan the circuit board set on the feed plate 8.

[0023] The reflective assembly includes a plurality of reflective plates 3 , each of which is rotatably arranged on the side of the light source assembly 4 via a rotating shaft 31 , and the rotating shaft 31 is driven by a rotating driver.

[0024] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0025] The circuit board is scanned by the detection component 7 at the feeding plate 8 to determine the photosensitive pattern and position on the circuit board. The feeding plate 8 is driven by the servo motor to deliver the circuit board to be exposed to the base 1, and the light source component 4 starts to expose the circuit board. Among them, the reflector 3 adjusts the angle according to the photosensitive pattern and position of the circuit board, and generates an exposure light source 41 for the light source component 4. According to the angle adjustment of the reflector 3, the reflected light source is concentrated on the photosensitive pattern position, thereby realizing full utilization of the exposure light source 41 and achieving efficient exposure.

[0026] In one embodiment, the reflective assembly further includes a main rotating shaft (not shown), to which each reflector is connected. The main rotating shaft (not shown) is rotatably connected to a rotary actuator. The main rotating shaft (not shown) can drive the reflectors connected thereto to rotate, enabling multi-directional control of the reflector positions based on the photosensitive pattern, allowing the reflected light source to be more precisely focused on the photosensitive pattern, thereby improving exposure efficiency.

[0027] In one embodiment, the light source assembly 4 includes a plurality of exposure light sources 41, each of which is arranged above the base 1. By arranging and distributing the exposure light sources 41, the photosensitive pattern on the circuit board is evenly covered, and the reflector 3 can effectively utilize the exposure light sources 41 for reflection.

[0028] In order to scan the detection assembly 7 and thereby determine the photosensitive pattern on the circuit board, in one embodiment, the detection assembly 7 includes a scanning camera 71 and an image processing module 9, and the scanning camera 71 and the image processing module 9 are electrically connected. The scanning camera 71 photographs the circuit board on the feed plate 8. The captured image is passed through the image processing module 9 to determine the position of the pattern to be exposed. The angle of the reflector 3 is then adjusted to focus the reflected light source on the photosensitive pattern position, thereby fully utilizing the exposure light source 41 and achieving efficient exposure.

[0029] Preferably, the PCB circuit board UV exposure machine also includes a control system, and the loading component 6, the detection component 7 and the reflective component are all electrically connected to the control system, and the scanning of the circuit board, the regulation of the reflective plate 3, etc. are controlled by the control system.

[0030] In one embodiment, an adjustment assembly is further included, configured to adjust the light intensity of the light source assembly 4. Specifically, for example, the adjustment assembly includes a retractable plate 5 that movably covers the light source assembly 4 and is driven by a drive motor. The retractable plate 5 is electrically driven to cover the light source assembly 4, controlling the amount of light passing through the light source assembly 4. This allows the light source assembly 4 to be centered on the photosensitive pattern based on the determination of the photosensitive pattern, and the amount of light passing through is adjusted based on the size of the photosensitive pattern to prevent overexposure that could affect the circuit board.

[0031] In one embodiment, an exposure station is provided on the base 1, and the light source assembly 4 is disposed opposite the exposure station. In one embodiment, the exposure station is provided in a plurality. The provision of multiple exposure stations allows for simultaneous exposure of multiple circuit boards, thereby improving exposure efficiency.

[0032] In one embodiment, the PCB UV exposure machine further includes a deflection correction mechanism (not shown) for adjusting the PCB so that it is aligned with the exposure station. Adjusting the PCB to the exposure station can improve the accuracy and efficiency of the exposure.

[0033] The technical features of the above-mentioned embodiments can be combined arbitrarily. In order to make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-mentioned embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0034] The above-described embodiments merely represent several implementations of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these modifications and improvements fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.
