[0002] Back drilling refers to drilling holes to a specified depth at designated locations on a PCB product. It has strict depth requirements and does not require drilling through the entire surface. It is primarily used to disconnect surface layer connections, resolve short circuits between the hole and the surface metal substrate or structural components, and prevent signal transmission interference. Back drilling can also be used to process stepped holes and blind vias.

[0003] When inspecting PCB back-drilled holes, the PCB on the inspection platform is flattened by a pressing mechanism. However, due to insufficient light source on the inspection platform, it is difficult to capture the edge of the back-drilled hole, resulting in unclear imaging, poor accuracy and stability, and easy errors in the inspection results. This can lead to the judgment of unqualified products or the omission of unqualified products in actual use, thus affecting the accuracy of the equipment inspection. Utility Model Content

[0026] To make the technical problems solved, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0027] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown in the figure, an embodiment of the present invention provides a hole position detection platform, including a support member and a light-transmitting plate 3. The support member includes a base 1 and a support plate 2. The base 1 is used to install on the worktable of a PCB inspection equipment, and the support plate 2 is installed on the base 1. The base 1 can support the support plate 2 and also avoid the first light source below the light-transmitting plate 3.

[0028] The support plate 2 is provided with a first light-transmitting hole 211 and a second light-transmitting hole 221, which are interconnected. A light-transmitting plate 3 is embedded in the first light-transmitting hole 211 and protrudes from the second light-transmitting hole 221, allowing light to pass smoothly through the second light-transmitting hole 221 and illuminate the light-transmitting plate 3. The light-transmitting plate 3 is used to transmit the light illuminating it onto the material board placed on it. A first light source below the light-transmitting plate 3 provides light. The light-transmitting plate 3 has good light transmission performance, allowing the light emitted by the first light source to pass smoothly and illuminate the material board placed on it. This allows the light to clearly illuminate the area to be inspected on the material board after passing through the light-transmitting plate 3, making the inside of the back-drilled hole clearly visible. This facilitates the optical inspection mechanism of the PCB inspection equipment to inspect the back-drilled hole and reduces inspection errors.

[0029] In one embodiment, the material of the light-transmitting plate 3 is not limited to optical glass; any material with high strength, good wear resistance, and good light transmittance is acceptable.

[0030] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the support plate 2 includes a first support plate 21 and a second support plate 22, which are integrally formed. The second support plate 22 is mounted on the side of the first support plate 21 near the base 1. A first light-transmitting hole 211 is provided on the first support plate 21, and a second light-transmitting hole 221 is provided on the second support plate 22. The first light-transmitting hole 211 penetrates the first support plate 21 along its thickness direction, and the second light-transmitting hole 221 penetrates the second support plate 22 along its thickness direction, resulting in a rectangular structure for both the first and second support plates 21 and 22.

[0031] The surface of the light-transmitting plate 3 near the base 1 abuts against the second support plate 22. After the light-transmitting plate 3 is inserted into the first light-transmitting hole 211, the first support plate 21 surrounds the light-transmitting plate 3 and supports the light-transmitting plate 3 through the second support plate 22, which can firmly fix the light-transmitting plate 3 on the support plate 2 and ensure that it will not move at will during the detection process.

[0032] The inner surface of the second support plate 22 is closer to the central axis of the support plate than the inner surface of the first support plate 21. On the plane where the light-transmitting plate 3 is located, the cross-sectional area of ​​the first light-transmitting hole 211 is larger than the cross-sectional area of ​​the second light-transmitting hole 221, so that a step is formed at the connection between the first support plate 21 and the second support plate 22. This step can limit the installation position of the light-transmitting plate 3 on the support plate 2.

[0033] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, the first support plate 21 includes a plurality of protrusions 212 and a plurality of recesses 213, which are alternately arranged. At least some of the protrusions 212 are located at the corners of the first support plate 21, and the recesses 213 are located between two adjacent corners of the first support plate 21. Specifically, some of the protrusions 212 may be located at the corners of the first support plate 21, or all of the protrusions 212 may be located at the corners of the first support plate 21.

[0034] In this embodiment, besides reducing the weight of the support plate 2, the recessed portion 213, most importantly, allows the protrusion 212 to contact the light-transmitting plate 3 when it is assembled onto the support plate 2. The recessed portion 213 reduces the contact area between the first support plate 21 and the light-transmitting plate 3, thus reducing the possibility of uneven placement of the light-transmitting plate 3 on the support plate 2 due to level deviation of the upper surface of the first support plate 21, which could affect the detection effect of the back drilling of the material plate. During manufacturing, the recessed portion 213 also helps control the levelness accuracy of the first support plate 21.

[0035] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the hole position detection platform also includes multiple pressure blocks 4, which are spaced apart along the outer edge of the light-transmitting plate 3. The pressure blocks 4 are located on the side of the light-transmitting plate 3 away from the base 1 in the thickness direction, and the second support plate 22 is located on the side of the light-transmitting plate 3 close to the base 1 in the thickness direction. The position of the light-transmitting plate 3 can be fixed by the pressure blocks 4 to prevent the light-transmitting plate 3 from shifting during the test.

[0036] Specifically, during assembly, the pressure block 4 is provided with a first through hole, and the light-transmitting plate 3 is provided with a second through hole. The light-transmitting plate 3 is fixed by connecting the pressure block 4 to the second support plate 22 after the screw passes through the first through hole and the second through hole in sequence.

[0037] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the hole position detection platform also includes multiple positioning elements 5. These positioning elements 5 are installed on the surface of the light-transmitting plate 3 facing away from the support plate 2, and together they form an area for placing the material plate. When the material plate is placed on the light-transmitting plate 3, the area enclosed by the positioning elements 5 determines the placement position of the material plate, defining its placement range on the light-transmitting plate 3. This allows for the adaptation of material plates of different sizes or other materials to be inspected. By using the positioning elements 5 to accurately position and limit the material plate, it is possible to quickly place the material plate in the correct position, reducing adjustment time during placement and thus improving the efficiency and accuracy of the inspection.

[0038] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1As shown, the plurality of positioning elements 5 includes at least a first positioning element 51 and a second positioning element 52. The first positioning element 51 is disposed on one side of the light-transmitting plate 3 along the first direction a, and can constrain the material plate from the first direction a to prevent the material plate from excessively deviating or exceeding the predetermined range in the first direction a. The second positioning element 52 is disposed on one side of the light-transmitting plate 3 along the second direction b, and can constrain the material plate from the second direction b to prevent the material plate from excessively deviating or exceeding the predetermined range in the second direction b.

[0039] The first direction a and the second direction b are not parallel and do not coincide.

[0040] In this design, the first direction 'a' represents the length of the material plate, and the second direction 'b' represents the width of the material plate. The first positioning component 51 and the second positioning component 52 cooperate to position the material plate. This allows operators to place the material plate more quickly and accurately without repeatedly adjusting its position, effectively preventing positional deviations such as rotation or translation within the plane and ensuring the accuracy of the material plate's positioning.

[0041] When placing the material plate, the first positioning member 51 can be used as a reference. After one side of the material plate abuts against the first positioning member 51, the approximate position of the material plate in the first direction a can be determined. Then, based on the second positioning member 52, the material plate is pushed so that the other side of the material plate abuts against the second positioning member 52, thereby completing the positioning in the second direction b.

[0042] In one embodiment, the light-transmitting plate 3 includes optical glass and a glass film. The optical glass is placed on the support plate 2, and the glass film is attached to the surface of the optical glass facing away from the support. The glass film protects the optical glass, preventing scratches and ensuring that its light transmission performance remains unaffected, allowing light to always pass clearly and uniformly through the light-transmitting plate 3 and be projected onto the material plate. After a certain period of use, only the glass film needs to be replaced periodically.

[0043] On the other hand, this utility model embodiment provides a PCB inspection device, including a pressing mechanism, a lifting mechanism, and a hole position inspection platform as described in the above embodiment. The lifting mechanism can drive the pressing mechanism to move up and down, so that the pressing mechanism presses onto or detaches from the hole position inspection platform. The pressing mechanism is used to apply pressure to the board placed on the light-transmitting plate 3 of the hole position inspection platform to flatten the board and minimize the possibility of the board warping during the inspection process, which would affect the inspection results.

[0044] The optical inspection mechanism is used to inspect the material plate on the light-transmitting plate 3. After the material plate is flattened, the optical inspection mechanism begins to inspect the material plate on the light-transmitting plate 3. The light-transmitting plate 3 ensures sufficient light on the hole detection platform, enabling the acquisition of a clear image and reducing inspection errors.

[0045] In one embodiment, the optical inspection mechanism includes a first light source and a second light source. The first light source is positioned below the light-transmitting plate 3 and provides light to the hole detection platform, illuminating the lower surface of the material plate from small to large. The second light source is positioned above the pressing mechanism and provides light to the pressing mechanism, illuminating the upper surface of the material plate from top to bottom. By using two light sources to illuminate the back-drilled holes in the material plate, the edge capture of the back-drilled holes is improved, the imaging is clearer, and the accuracy of the product output results is increased.

[0046] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the support plate 2 of the support member is provided with a guide shaft 214. The guide shaft 214 is used to engage with the pressing mechanism when the pressing mechanism presses on the hole detection platform. The pressing mechanism is provided with a hole or bushing that engages with the guide shaft 214. While the lifting mechanism drives the pressing mechanism to move up and down, it provides precise motion guidance to reduce lateral offset and sway of the pressing mechanism.

[0047] In one embodiment, a buffer 215 is provided on the support plate 2 of the support member. The buffer 215 is used to buffer the pressing mechanism. When the pressing mechanism moves downward under the drive of the lifting mechanism and comes into contact with the hole detection platform, a certain impact force will be generated. The buffer 215 can make the force of the pressing mechanism on the support plate 2 and the material plate on the light-transmitting plate 3 more gradual and uniform, avoiding problems such as damage to the material plate, deformation of the support plate 2, or affecting the stability of the entire detection platform due to the instantaneous strong impact.

[0048] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
