Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of dust removal, and in particular to an automatic target dust removal device. Background Technology

[0002] Targeting is a technique in PCB lamination processes used to ensure alignment and bonding accuracy between multilayer boards. A targeting machine is used to position and fix the multilayer boards, ensuring precise alignment between them.

[0003] The target-setting process typically involves placing multilayer boards onto the target-setting machine's worktable using automated material handling equipment. Target positions are then created in pre-defined areas on the board surface using a drilling device and optical instruments. During the pre-target-setting production and transportation processes, particulate metal or dust particles may adhere to the multilayer boards. If these debris are not removed promptly, they will directly affect processing and product quality. Especially during the target-setting process, the positioning and fixing of the multilayer boards, along with the target-setting action, may stir or raise dust and debris on the board surface. This dust and debris may adhere to the target or circuit board, affecting alignment accuracy and image contrast, thus impacting the accuracy and effectiveness of the target-setting. A common method for dealing with dust adhering to the board surface is to blow it off with high-pressure gas before feeding. However, this method cannot completely remove existing debris; the blown-off debris will float near the workstation or adhere to the equipment. When there is a large amount of debris at the workstation, the gas-based debris removal method will have the opposite effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the problem of dust adhering to the board surface, a common method is to blow the debris off the board surface with high-pressure gas before feeding. However, this method cannot remove the existing debris, and the blown-off debris will float near the workstation or adhere to the equipment. When there is a lot of debris in the workstation, the gas removal method will have the opposite effect. The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic target dust removal device to solve the above problems.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: an automatic target-hitting dust removal device, including a target-hitting machine, a mounting frame, a rodless cylinder, a slider, a lifting cylinder, a connecting plate, a guide rod, a chip remover, a feed hole, a collection frame, and a material platform. The target-hitting machine has a mounting frame on its upper front side, on which the rodless cylinder is fixedly mounted. A slider is slidably mounted on the rodless cylinder. A lifting cylinder is vertically mounted on the top of the slider. A connecting plate is located on the front side of the slider, and the connecting plate is slidably connected to the slider via a guide rod. The lower part of the moving rod of the lifting cylinder passes downward through the slider and connects to the connecting plate. The lifting cylinder drives the connecting plate to reciprocate up and down. A chip remover is mounted on the connecting plate. Several feed holes are evenly spaced at the bottom of the chip remover, and the lower ends of the feed pipes all extend vertically downward from one side of the bottom of the connecting plate. A collection frame is mounted on the lower front side of the target-hitting machine, and a positioning mechanism is located inside the collection frame. A material platform is mounted on the positioning mechanism. Driven by the rodless cylinder, the chip remover moves laterally left and right, passing over the material platform during its movement.

[0006] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, the positioning mechanism includes a slide table one and a slide table two. Slide table one is installed inside the material collection frame, and slide table two is installed on it. Slide table one and slide table two are arranged in a cross shape. They have the same structure, both consisting of a frame, optical shafts, transmission components, and connecting blocks. The frame is provided with two optical shafts and one transmission component. The two optical shafts inside the frame are arranged in parallel. The transmission component consists of a lead screw and a transmission motor. The transmission lead screw of the transmission component is arranged in the same direction as the optical shafts. The transmission motor is installed on the outside of the frame. The output shaft of the transmission motor is connected to one end of the transmission lead screw, driving the transmission lead screw to rotate. Both the transmission lead screw and the optical shaft are provided with two connecting blocks. The top of the connecting blocks on slide table one is connected to the frame of slide table two. The top of the connecting blocks on slide table two is connected to a material platform. The material platform is positioned and moved in the X and Y axes in the plane under the drive of the positioning mechanism.

[0007] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a suction cup is also included. Mounting holes are provided at the four corners of the material platform, and a suction cup is provided in each mounting hole. The suction cup's adsorption component is arranged vertically upward, and its upper surface is flush with the upper surface of the material platform.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a dust collection frame and an ion fan are also included. An ion fan is provided on the left side of the material collection frame, with the air outlet of the ion fan facing the material platform side. A dust collection frame is provided on the right side of the material collection frame. An opening is provided on the integrated frame, with the opening facing the air outlet side of the ion fan. A connector is connected to the right side of the integrated frame, which is used to connect to an external air extraction device.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, an inclined groove is also included, the lower part of the material collection frame is provided with an inclined groove, and a plurality of material leakage grooves are spaced apart at the bottom of the material collection frame.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of this utility model, a soft brush is also included. The soft brush is provided at the lower part of the connecting plate and is arranged in the same direction as the chip remover.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting a material platform on the dust removal device, the multi-layer board that needs to be put into the target machine is first placed on the material platform. The chip remover is used to clean and collect the dust and debris on the multi-layer board in the material platform. Compared with the traditional chip blowing method, the accumulation of debris in the work station is reduced, and the blown debris is prevented from falling back onto the board surface, ensuring the smooth progress of processing.

[0012] This invention features a material platform with a positioning structure. Before the multilayer board is placed into the target-punching machine, it is placed on the material platform for chip removal. At the same time, the material platform pre-positions the multilayer board. By pre-positioning, when the robot arm places the multilayer board from the material platform into the target-punching machine, it can avoid misalignment of the board when the board is placed into the target-punching machine due to the board position deviation during the robot arm's material handling. This improves the positional accuracy of the multilayer board during the target-punching process and reduces the target-punching error and scrap rate caused by positional deviation.

[0013] This invention significantly reduces the problem of debris and dust adhesion caused by electrostatic adsorption and the inability of the chip remover to effectively clean the multilayer board by using an anti-static ion fan to blow airflow onto the multilayer board during chip removal machine operation. This makes the surface of the multilayer board cleaner. Combined with a dust collection frame that continuously draws air, the effect of agitating and removing dust is further optimized.

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions of the present invention are used to explain the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0021] Example 1: An automatic target-firing dust removal device, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, the system includes: a mounting bracket 2 fixedly installed on the upper front side of the target shooting machine 1; a rodless cylinder 3 securely mounted on the mounting bracket 2; a slider 31 slidably connected to the rodless cylinder 3; the slider 31 can slide left and right under the drive of the rodless cylinder 3; a lifting cylinder 4 vertically mounted on the top of the slider 31; and a connecting plate 5 provided on the front side of the slider 31. The connecting plate 5 is slidably connected to the slider 31 through a guide rod 51 to ensure that the connecting plate 5 remains stable during lifting. The lower part of the movable rod of the lifting cylinder 4 passes through the slider 31 and is connected to the connecting plate 5, so that the lifting cylinder 4 can drive the connecting plate 5 to move up and down reciprocally.

[0022] The connecting plate 5 is equipped with a chip remover 52. The chip remover 52 has multiple feed holes 53 evenly spaced at the bottom. The lower ends of these feed holes 53 all extend vertically downward from one side of the bottom of the connecting plate 5 to collect and guide the debris. The front side of the lower part of the target machine 1 is equipped with a material collection frame 6. The material collection frame 6 is equipped with a positioning mechanism. The positioning mechanism is stably equipped with a material platform 8 for placing and fixing the material to be processed.

[0023] Specifically, during operation, the chip remover 52 moves laterally left and right under the drive of the rodless cylinder 3. As the chip remover 52 moves, it passes over the material platform 8, at which point the chip remover 52 starts working, collecting and removing debris from the material platform 8 through the feed hole 53 at its lower part. The removed debris then falls into the collection frame 6 below through the feed hole 53, achieving effective collection and cleaning of debris. This design not only improves the working efficiency of the target punch 1 but also ensures a clean and tidy working environment, reducing the trouble and cost of manual debris cleaning. At the same time, through the design of the lifting cylinder 4 and the guide rod 51, the height and position of the chip remover 52 can be flexibly adjusted to adapt to the working principle of material handling needs of different sizes and shapes.

[0024] Example 2: Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the positioning mechanism includes a slide table 7 and a slide table 71, both of which are installed in the material collection frame 6. The slide table 7 and the slide table 71 are arranged in a cross shape. They have the same structure, consisting of a frame, an optical shaft 72, a transmission component 73, and a connecting block 74.

[0025] Specifically, both slide table 71 and slide table 72 are equipped with two optical shafts 72 and a transmission component 73 on their frames. The two optical shafts 72 are arranged in parallel within the frame, while the transmission component 73 consists of a lead screw and a transmission motor. The lead screw of the transmission component 73 is arranged in the same direction as the optical shaft 72. The transmission motor is installed on the outside of the frame, and its output shaft is connected to one end of the lead screw to drive the lead screw to rotate. Both the lead screw and the optical shaft 72 are equipped with two connecting blocks 74.

[0026] The top of the connecting block 74 on slide 1 7 is connected to the frame of slide 2 71, and the top of the connecting block 74 on slide 2 71 is connected to the material platform 8. In this way, the material platform 8 can be positioned and moved in the X and Y axis directions in the plane under the drive of the positioning mechanism, thereby realizing the precise positioning of the material.

[0027] In addition, mounting holes are provided at the four corners of the material platform 8, and each mounting hole is equipped with a suction cup 81. The suction components of the suction cup 81 are arranged vertically upwards, and the upper surface of the suction components is flush with the upper surface of the material platform 8. In this way, when the suction cup 81 is activated, it can firmly adhere to the material, preventing it from moving or shifting during processing, and further ensuring the accuracy and stability of processing.

[0028] In a preferred embodiment, the system further includes: a dust collection frame 10 on the right side of the material collection frame 6, and an ion fan 11 on the left side of the material collection frame 6. The air outlet of the ion fan 11 faces the material platform 8. When the ion fan 11 is working, it can generate wind with negative ions. This wind can blow towards the material on the material platform 8 to help further remove small debris and dust from the surface of the material, while reducing the adsorption of static electricity on the material. The material collection frame 6 has an opening facing the air outlet of the ion fan 11. This design allows the airflow with debris and dust blown out by the ion fan 11 to directly enter the dust collection frame 10. The right side of the dust collection frame 10 is also connected to a connector for connecting to an external air extraction device to extract and discharge the debris and dust in the dust collection frame 10 to the outside, keeping the working environment clean.

[0029] In a preferred embodiment: such as Figure 1 and Figure 4As shown, to further enhance the function of the collection frame 6, a chute 61 is also provided at the bottom of the collection frame 6. The design of the chute 61 allows materials or debris to slide down along the chute under the action of gravity, facilitating collection and processing. At the same time, several material leakage channels are also spaced apart at the bottom of the collection frame 6. These material leakage channels cooperate with the chute 61 to allow materials or debris to slide down and be discharged from the collection frame 6 more smoothly, thereby maintaining the cleanliness of the collection frame 6 and the orderly processing of materials.

[0030] In a preferred embodiment: such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it also includes: a soft brush 9. The soft brush 9 is provided at the lower part of the connecting plate 5. This design can ensure that during the process of chip removal by the chip remover 52, the soft brush 9 can simultaneously and gently brush the surface of the material to further remove residual chips or dust and improve the cleaning effect. The soft brush 9 is made of soft and dense material, which can effectively remove tiny chips and dust without damaging the surface of the material. Its synergistic effect with the chip remover 52 makes the entire chip removal system more complete and can meet higher standards of cleaning requirements.

[0031] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. All equivalent substitutions made within the principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Contents not described in detail in this utility model are existing technologies known to those skilled in the art.
