Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of PCB production, in particular to a PCB flattening device. BACKGROUND

[0002] At present, the raw material of the PCB is generally copper plate. In the processing process, the copper plate may be bent, and then needs to be flattened. Under the condition of large elastic-plastic bending, no matter how big the original bending degree of the metal material is, the difference of the residual bending degree after repair will be significantly reduced, and even tends to be consistent. With the reduction of repeated bending degree, the residual bending after elastic recovery will tend to zero value to achieve the purpose of correction.

[0003] In the related art, after the flattening device completes flattening, it needs to receive the PCB through the plate receiving table. When the PCB is stacked to a certain height, the worker needs to take the PCB from the plate receiving table. In this process, the worker needs to wait on the side, wasting time. If the worker leaves temporarily, the PCB cannot be unloaded in time, and the plate receiving table continues to receive the PCB, which makes the PCB on the plate receiving table messy and affects the subsequent unloading, and also causes the PCB to fall and be damaged.
