[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative labor fall within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0026] Reference is made to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The utility model embodiment provides a kind of printed circuit board with alignment mark points, and printed circuit board includes component layout area 10, first component forbidden area 20, window area 30 and second component forbidden area 50.First component forbidden area 20 is located between component layout area 10 and window area 30, and second component forbidden area 50 is located in the side of window area 30 away from first component forbidden area 20;Window area 30 is provided with golden finger 310 and alignment mark group 40.
[0027] Specifically, the alignment mark group 40 is arranged in the windowing area 30, which can ensure that the automated equipment can more accurately capture the alignment mark point 410 when identifying the printed circuit board, reducing the problem of measuring points of mis-grabbed component areas caused by identification errors, thereby reducing the risk of grabbing abnormalities and downtime, and improving production efficiency. Moreover, arranging the alignment mark group 40 in the windowing area 30 instead of the component layout area 10 can effectively reduce the occupation of the component layout space, thereby avoiding affecting the layout optimization of the components. In this way, more components can be reasonably arranged in a limited space, improving the space utilization rate of the printed circuit board, and avoiding the need to increase the size of the printed circuit board due to insufficient component layout space, thereby reducing material costs. The gold finger 310 is arranged in the windowing area 30, and the gold finger 310 serves as a conductive contact point, which can be a strip-shaped conductive metal structure. The first component forbidden area 20 and the second component forbidden area 50 are arranged on both sides of the windowing area 30, which can protect the gold finger 310 and ensure the safety and reliability of the electrical connection.
[0028] The component layout area 10 is the placement area of electronic components (such as active components such as diodes and triodes, and / or passive components such as capacitors and resistors) on the printed circuit board. The first component forbidden area 20 and the second component forbidden area 50 are prohibited placement areas of electronic components on the printed circuit board. The windowing area 30 is a hole of a certain size and shape, such as a strip-shaped groove, which is opened on the surface of the printed circuit board to facilitate the welding connection of external components (such as connectors and chips) with the printed circuit board. Different sizes and shapes of windows can be created on the printed circuit board to meet the needs of various components. The alignment mark group 40 provides a common measurable point for each step in the manufacturing and assembly process of the printed circuit board, ensuring that each device used in assembly can accurately locate the circuit pattern for precision. During the use of automated equipment such as a placement machine and automatic optical inspection (AOI), the alignment mark group 40 helps the machine accurately identify and locate the printed circuit board, thereby ensuring that components can be accurately placed in the predetermined position. During the assembly process of the printed circuit board, the alignment mark group 40 ensures the correct alignment of the printed circuit board with other components, which can ensure accuracy and assembly quality, and prevent misalignment.
[0029] Referring to Figure 1 In some embodiments, the number of gold fingers 310 is multiple, and the multiple gold fingers 310 are arranged in a length direction perpendicular to the width direction of the windowing area 30, and the alignment mark group 40 is located in the interval 320 between the adjacent two gold fingers 310. The width direction is from the first component forbidden area 20 to the second component forbidden area 50. Figure 1The direction represented by the middle arrow is perpendicular to the width direction and the length direction. The gold fingers 310 serve as conductive contact points at the edge of the printed circuit board, providing reliable electrical connection and signal transmission, ensuring the stability and reliability of signal transmission. The alignment mark group 40 is arranged in the interval position 320, which can provide accurate reference points for automated equipment, ensuring the alignment accuracy when the gold fingers 310 are connected to other components, reducing connection problems caused by inaccurate alignment. It also maximizes the use of printed circuit board space, reduces space waste, improves the utilization rate of printed circuit boards, reduces the overall production cost, and improves the product yield, reduces waste and rework caused by inaccurate alignment, thereby improving economic benefits.
[0030] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the number of alignment mark groups 40 in any interval position 320 is one or more. According to different application requirements, one or more alignment mark groups 40 can be flexibly arranged in the interval position 320 to adapt to different alignment requirements and accuracy standards, enhancing the adaptability and flexibility of the design. For example, Figure 3 and Figure 6 , multiple alignment mark groups 40 can be arranged in the interval position 320 to help disperse and reduce error accumulation. When a certain alignment mark group 40 cannot be recognized due to contamination or other reasons, other alignment mark groups 40 can still ensure the accuracy of alignment, improving the reliability and stability of the entire system. If one alignment mark group 40 cannot be recognized due to contamination, damage or other reasons, other alignment mark groups 40 can still provide positioning to ensure the normal progress of subsequent work.
[0031] Referring again to Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the alignment mark group 40 includes one or more alignment mark points 410. The alignment mark point 410 provides more accurate spatial positioning information to help automated equipment accurately identify the position and direction of the printed circuit board. For example, in a certain interval position 320, the number of alignment mark groups 40 is multiple, and the number of alignment mark points 410 in the alignment mark group 40 is one, as shown in Figure 3 ; in a certain interval position 320, the number of alignment mark groups 40 is multiple, and the number of alignment mark points 410 in the alignment mark group 40 is multiple, as shown in Figure 6 ; in a certain interval position 320, the number of alignment mark groups 40 is one, and the number of alignment mark points 410 in the alignment mark group 40 is multiple, as shown in Figure 4 or Figure 5As shown; in a certain interval position 320, for example, the number of alignment mark groups 40 is one, and the number of alignment mark points 410 in the alignment mark group 40 is one, for example. Figure 1 Or Figure 2 As shown.
[0032] Referring to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , in some embodiments, the alignment mark group 40 includes a plurality of alignment mark points 410, and the shapes of the plurality of alignment mark points 410 are the same or different. The alignment mark points 410 of the same shape can reduce errors caused by shape differences, i.e. reduce recognition errors. The alignment mark points 410 of different shapes can provide more specificity, which helps to distinguish different areas or functions in a complex printed circuit board layout.
[0033] In some embodiments, the shape of the alignment mark point 410 includes a circle, a rectangle, a cross, an I shape or a triangle. Among them, the shape of the alignment mark point 410 is, for example, a circle, which is easy to identify and align, and is suitable for applications that require high-precision alignment. The shape of the alignment mark point 410 is, for example, a cross, which can provide accurate center point positioning. The shape of the alignment mark point 410 can meet different alignment needs, improve the recognition ability of automated equipment, and optimize the production and design process of printed circuit boards. The shape of the alignment mark point 410 also includes, for example, a rhombus, an oval, etc.
[0034] Specifically, when the alignment mark group 40 contains a plurality of alignment mark points 410, the shapes of the plurality of alignment mark points 410 can be the same or different; for example, there are two alignment mark points 410 in one alignment mark group 40, and the shapes of the two alignment mark points 410 are both circles, or there are three alignment mark points 410 in one alignment mark group 40, and the shapes of the three alignment mark points 410 are, for example, a circle, a rectangle and a triangle, respectively.
[0035] Referring to Figure 1In some embodiments, the width of the windowing region 30 in the direction from the first element keep-out region 20 to the second element keep-out region 50 ranges from 3mm to 10mm, i.e. the diameter of the alignment mark 410 ranges from 3mm to 10mm when the alignment mark 410 is circular, or the height of the alignment mark 410 ranges from 3mm to 10mm when the alignment mark 410 is rectangular, triangular or cross-shaped. The width of the gold finger 310 in the direction from the first element keep-out region 20 to the second element keep-out region 50 ranges from 2mm to 9mm, the distance between the gold finger 310 and the first element keep-out region 20 is 0.5mm, and the distance between the gold finger 310 and the second element keep-out region 50 is 0.5mm, so as to avoid the size of the windowing region 30 being too large and increasing the size of the printed circuit board, thereby reducing the cost. The direction from the first element keep-out region 20 to the second element keep-out region 50 is the width direction of the printed circuit board.
