Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of PCB board inspection technology, specifically to an X-ray inspection device for PCB boards. Background Technology
[0002] A PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is a substrate used to assemble electronic components. It achieves electrical connections between electronic components by printing copper traces on insulating material. A PCB mainly consists of a substrate, conductive layers, solder mask layers, and character layers. The substrate is typically made of fiberglass or epoxy resin, providing mechanical support and insulation. PCBs can be classified as single-sided, double-sided, and multilayer boards based on the number of conductive layers. Currently, PCBs require X-ray inspection after production. However, existing X-ray inspection devices generally can only inspect the front side of the PCB. If the solder joints on both sides of a double-sided PCB overlap, it will affect the accuracy of the inspection results. Furthermore, traditional X-ray inspection devices generally cannot flip double-sided PCBs, causing inconvenience for PCB inspection.
[0003] In the prior art, CN217404464U discloses a PCB board visual inspection device, including a machine base. The machine base is provided with a support platform for supporting PCB boards. The support platform includes a base, and a pressure plate is provided on the base. The pressure plate has an inspection groove that cooperates with the PCB board. A connector is also provided on the inspection groove that cooperates with the PCB board for connecting to a control PCB board. An operating table is also provided in conjunction with the support platform. The machine base is also provided with a display module for displaying the control content of the PCB board. Located at the display module, the machine base is also provided with a pressing piece for pressing the FPC.
[0004] The aforementioned patent can only inspect the front side of the PCB board, making it difficult to flip the double-sided PCB board, which would cause inconvenience for PCB board inspection; therefore, we need to propose an X-ray inspection device for PCB boards. Utility Model Content

[0027] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] This utility model provides: an X-ray inspection device for PCB boards, such as... Figure 1-4 As shown, the system includes a testing box 1, a placement frame 3, a support plate 4, a connecting column 8, a support block 9, a clamping assembly, and a rotating assembly. The placement frame 3 is rotatably disposed inside the testing box 1. The placement frame 3 contains a clamping assembly for clamping PCBs of different sizes. The clamping assembly includes clamping plates 7 and external compression springs 16. Two sets of clamping plates 7 and external compression springs 16 are provided. The two sets of clamping plates 7 are slidably disposed inside the placement frame 3. One end of each set of external compression springs 16 is disposed on the opposite side of the two sets of clamping plates 7, and the other end of each set of external compression springs 16 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the placement frame 3. Side moving blocks 20 are fixedly installed on both sides. The inner wall of the placement frame 3 is provided with side moving grooves 14 corresponding to the four sets of side moving blocks 20. Anti-slip pads are provided on the inner wall of the clamping plate 7. The two sets of clamping plates 7 are squeezed to move to both sides. The two sets of clamping plates 7 move along the inside of the side moving grooves 14 through the side moving blocks 20 on the side, thereby improving the stability of the movement of the two sets of clamping plates 7. Then, the PCB board is placed between the two sets of clamping plates 7. Under the action of the external compression spring 16, the two sets of clamping plates 7 clamp the PCB board. The anti-slip pads improve the stability of the PCB board clamping and avoid damage to the PCB board.
[0029] In this embodiment, as Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, two sets of inner clamping plates 21 are slidably arranged inside the two sets of clamping plates 7. An inner compression spring 23 is fixedly arranged on the opposite side of the two sets of inner clamping plates 21. The other end of the two sets of inner compression springs 23 contacts the inner wall of the clamping plate 7. An inner moving block 22 is fixedly arranged on both sides of the inner clamping plate 21. An inner moving groove 15 corresponding to the inner moving block 22 is opened on the inner wall of the two sets of clamping plates 7. The two sets of inner clamping plates 21 are squeezed to move to both sides. Then the PCB board is placed between the two sets of inner clamping plates 21 inside the clamping plate 7. The inner clamping plate 21 moves into the inner moving groove 15 through the inner moving block 22, thereby ensuring the stability of the movement of the inner clamping plate 21. Then, under the action of the inner compression spring 23, the two sets of inner clamping plates 21 clamp one side of the PCB board, thereby achieving the effect of clamping PCB boards of different sizes.
[0030] In a further preferred embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the inspection box 1 has two sets of support plates 4 fixedly installed inside, and support blocks 9 are fixedly installed on the corresponding surfaces of the two sets of support plates 4. A connecting column 8 is rotatably installed inside the support block 9, and one end of the connecting column 8 is fixedly connected to the placement frame 3. An inspection system 6 is installed at the top of the inspection box 1 and above the placement frame 3. A display system 2 is installed on the upper surface of the inspection box 1 and is electrically connected to the inspection system 6. The placement frame 3 does not contact the inner wall of the inspection box 1, nor does it contact the inspection system 6. The two sets of support plates 4 support the support blocks 9, and the support blocks 9 support the connecting column 8, ensuring that the connecting column 8 does not tilt while rotating. The inspection system 6 is installed above the placement frame 3 to perform X-ray inspection on the PCB board, and then transmits the inspection data to the display system 2 for processing and display via electrical connection or Bluetooth. The placement frame 3 does not contact the inspection box 1 or the inspection system 6, ensuring the stability of the placement frame 3 during rotation.
[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the other end of the connecting column 8 is provided with a rotating component for driving the placement frame 3 to rotate and flip. The rotating component includes a bevel gear 5, a slanted bevel gear 10, and a lower support plate 19. The lower support plate 19 is located on the bottom surface of the detection box 1. The bevel gear 5 is rotatably mounted on the upper surface of the lower support plate 19. The slanted bevel gear 10 is fixedly connected to the other end of the connecting column 8, and the bevel gear 5 and the slanted bevel gear 10 are meshed. The lower support plate 19 supports the bevel gear 5. When the bevel gear 5 rotates, it drives the slanted bevel gear 10 to rotate through its teeth. The slanted bevel gear 10 then rotates through the connecting column 8, thereby driving the PCB board inside the placement frame 3 to rotate and flip.
[0032] It is worth noting that, such as Figure 3 As shown, an upper support plate 11 is fixedly installed inside the detection box 1 and above the bevel gear 5. A motor 12 is bolted to the upper surface of the upper support plate 11. A rotating column 13 is keyed to the output end of the motor 12, and the bottom end of the rotating column 13 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the bevel gear 5. When the motor 12 is started, it drives the rotating column 13 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating column 13 passes through the upper support plate 11 and drives the bevel gear 5 to rotate, thereby driving the helical bevel gear 10 to rotate through meshing.
[0033] In addition, such as Figure 3As shown, a limiting ring 18 is fixedly installed between the upper support plate 11 and the lower support plate 19. A rotating hole corresponding to the connecting column 8 is opened through the side of the limiting ring 18. The connecting column 8 is rotatably installed inside the limiting ring 18, and the helical bevel gear 10 is located on the side of the limiting ring 18 away from the support block 9. The lower support plate 19 is fixedly installed on the upper surface of the detection box 1 via the support column 17. The number of teeth on the surface of the bevel gear 5 is half the number of teeth on the side of the helical bevel gear 10. The limiting ring 18 supports and limits the connecting column 8, thereby preventing the helical bevel gear 10 from detaching from the upper support plate. Between the support plate 11 and the lower support plate 19, the stability of the meshing of the bevel gear 5 and the slanted bevel gear 10 is ensured. The teeth on the surface of the bevel gear 5 are set as shown in the figure. When the toothed side of the bevel gear 5 meshes with the slanted bevel gear 10, the bevel gear 5 drives the slanted bevel gear 10 to rotate 180 degrees, thereby causing the PCB board inside the placement frame 3 to flip over. When the bevel gear 5 rotates to the toothless side, it will not drive the slanted bevel gear 10 to rotate, thus ensuring that the placement frame 3 can rotate 180 degrees, which facilitates X-ray tube inspection on both sides of the PCB board.
[0034] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
