AI Technical Summary
The existing VCP electroplating line has low blower exhaust energy utilization, long vertical draining time, and large chemical evaporation, which leads to fixture corrosion and PCB oxidation, affecting product quality and having a negative impact on the environment and employee health.
A blower unit is installed at the top of the feeding section of the VCP electroplating line. The exhaust gas from the blower unit is used to quickly blow away the chemical solution through a horizontally arranged air knife jet mechanism. Combined with the collection tank, the chemical solution is collected, which improves energy utilization and reduces volatilization.
It improves the efficiency of chemical removal, reduces corrosion and oxidation of fixtures and PCBs, enhances production efficiency and health conditions, and improves environmental hygiene.

Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The utility model relates to a PCB production line, especially a VCP electroplating line. BACKGROUND
[0002] The VCP electroplating line is a conventional production line of PCB production, and the PCB 10 soaked in the chemical solution is clamped by a clamp 22 at one side in the feeding section of the VCP electroplating line and vertically downward to drip dry the chemical solution. The existing operation is that the PCB 10 slowly moves or temporarily stays in the feeding section, and a liquid collecting tank 24 is arranged below to collect the dripping chemical solution for secondary recovery. When most of the chemical solution on the PCB 10 enters the liquid collecting tank 24 and basically meets the requirements of the subsequent process, the clamp 22 drives the PCB 10 to move forward to the discharging station. A mechanical hand 23 is arranged at the discharging station, and the mechanical hand 23 sucks the PCB 10 under the driving of a blower set 21, takes the PCB 10 away from the clamp 22 and transfers the PCB 10 to a conveying belt. The blower set 21 is arranged at the top of the VCP electroplating line.
[0003] The existing technology has the following problems:
[0004] 1. The exhaust of the blower is directly discharged outside, and the energy utilization rate is low;
[0005] 2. Only vertical dripping is used, which is time-consuming and low in efficiency, and the volatilization amount of the chemical solution is large;
[0006] 3. The volatilization of the chemical solution will cause corrosion of the clamp 22 and oxidation of the PCB 10, affecting the product quality;
[0007] 4. The volatilized chemical solution has a health impact on the environment and employees. INVENTION CONTENTS
[0008] The utility model aims at providing a VCP electroplating line to solve the problems in the prior art.
[0009] The VCP electroplating line in the utility model is provided with a blower set at the top of the feeding section, a clamp is arranged to clamp and drive the PCB to move, and a liquid collecting tank is arranged at the lower part of the feeding section to collect the chemical solution dripping from the PCB;
[0010] An air blowing mechanism is further arranged at the feeding section to blow off the chemical solution of the clamp and the PCB; and the air inlet end of the air blowing mechanism is communicated with the exhaust end of the blower set.
[0011] The air blowing mechanism comprises air knives arranged opposite to each other at both sides of the clamp, and each air knife is provided with a plurality of air outlets at the side facing the clamp; and the air knives are communicated with the exhaust end of the blower set through air inlet pipes.
[0012] The air knives are horizontally arranged.
[0013] The lower side of the air knives is leveled with the lower end of the clamp.
[0014] The outer side wall of the collecting tank is provided with a visual window.
[0015] The air knife is fixedly installed through the mounting frame.
[0016] One end of the mounting frame is fixedly connected to the top of the feeding section, and the other end is fixedly connected to the air knife.
[0017] The VCP electroplating line has the advantages that four problems in the prior art are solved at the same time. The jet energy is derived from the exhaust gas of the blower set, without increasing the energy input of the production line, and the energy utilization rate is improved. The chemical solution is separated from the clamp and the PCB, the working efficiency is improved, and the volatilization amount is reduced. Therefore, the corrosion of the clamp and the oxidation degree of the PCB are minimized, and the product quality is improved. Finally, the environment can be improved, and the health condition is improved. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF DRAWINGS
