Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of FPC board processing equipment, and specifically to an FPC board pressing and testing device. Background Technology

[0002] FPC boards, or flexible printed circuit boards, are highly reliable and extremely flexible printed circuit boards made with polyimide or polyester film as the substrate. They are characterized by high wiring density, light weight, thinness, and good bending flexibility.

[0003] FPC boards are typically mounted to their corresponding positions on a fixture before being clamped by a clamping mechanism for the next process. However, because the mounting surfaces on the fixture are not at the same height during mounting, the FPC board deforms during mounting to achieve a tighter connection with the fixture. However, in the existing technology, due to the mounting head not being properly positioned, the FPC board deforms but still does not fully adhere to the fixture, affecting the mounting effect. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical solution adopted by this utility model to solve its technical problem is: to provide an FPC board pressing detection device, comprising:

[0005] A pressing cylinder, wherein the output end of the pressing cylinder is provided with a pressing plate, and the pressing plate is provided with a plurality of pressing columns of different heights, the pressing columns being adapted to the end face of the FPC plate;

[0006] The conveying module corresponds to the clamping mechanism. The output end of the conveying module is provided with a carrier plate for placing the tooling plate. The conveying module is used to drive the tooling plate to move to correspond with the pressing plate. Waste boxes and discharge modules are respectively provided on both sides of the conveying direction of the conveying module. The waste boxes are used to place FPC plates with skewed bonding postures. The discharge modules are used to convey FPC plates with normal bonding postures to the next process.

[0007] The moving component has a mounting plate and a second lifting cylinder at its output end. The mounting plate has a first lifting cylinder, the output end of which has a vacuum suction head. The output end of the second lifting cylinder has a CCD industrial camera. The moving component works in conjunction with the first lifting cylinder to drive the vacuum suction head and the CCD industrial camera to move. The vacuum suction head is used to transfer the tooling plate into the waste box or onto the discharge module. The CCD industrial camera is used to detect whether the FPC bonding posture is skewed.

[0008] Furthermore, the pressing column is provided with an arc-shaped surface, which is in contact with the arc-shaped portion of the FPC board.

[0009] Furthermore, the pressing column includes a pressing part and a limiting part. The pressing part is in contact with the FPC board, and a compression spring is sleeved on the limiting part. The pressing board is provided with a limiting groove for the limiting part to slide. One end of the compression spring is connected to the limiting groove, and the other end of the compression spring is connected to the limiting part.

[0010] Furthermore, the width of the limiting portion is greater than the width of the pressing portion.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a lifting cylinder disposed on the conveying module, the output end of the lifting cylinder corresponding to the carrier plate, the lifting cylinder corresponding to the pressing plate, and the lifting cylinder being used to drive the FPC plate to move to correspond to the pressing column.

[0012] Furthermore, the moving component includes a first moving module and a second moving module disposed at the output end of the first moving module, wherein the output end of the second moving module is connected to the mounting plate and the lifting cylinder.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: It provides an FPC board pressing and testing device, including a pressing cylinder, a conveying module, and a moving assembly. The output end of the pressing cylinder is provided with a pressing plate, and the pressing plate is provided with several pressing columns of different heights, which are adapted to the end faces of the FPC board. After the FPC board is mounted, the clamping mechanism transfers the fixture plate with the mounted FPC board onto the carrier plate. The conveying module conveys the fixture plate to the position corresponding to the pressing plate. The pressing cylinder controls the pressing plate to press down, and the several pressing columns on the pressing plate contact the various end faces of the FPC board. As the pressing plate descends, the various end faces of the FPC board further fully fit with the fixture plate, thereby compensating for the problem of incomplete mounting by the mounting head and improving the mounting effect.

Detailed Implementation

[0021] To make the technical problem to be solved, the technical solution, and the beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. This drawing is a simplified schematic diagram, illustrating only the basic aspects of the present utility model, and therefore only shows the components relevant to the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1-5 An FPC board pressing and testing device 100 is provided, including a pressing cylinder 10, a conveying module 20 and a moving component, as well as a support frame 40 for supporting the pressing cylinder 10, the support frame 40 being located on one side of the conveying module 20 in the width direction.

[0023] The output end of the pressing cylinder 10 is provided with a pressing plate 11, and the pressing plate 11 is provided with a plurality of pressing columns 12 of different heights. The pressing columns 12 are adapted to the end faces of the FPC plate 201. Specifically, in this embodiment, the pressing plate 11 is provided with multiple sets of pressing columns 12, each set of pressing columns 12 corresponds to one FPC plate 201, and each set includes two pressing columns 12 of different heights.

[0024] Furthermore, the pressing column 12 is provided with an arc-shaped surface 121, which fits into the arc-shaped portion of the FPC plate 201, thereby reducing the wear on the FPC plate 201 when the pressing column 12 is pressed down.

[0025] Furthermore, the pressing column 12 includes a pressing part 122 and a limiting part 123. The pressing part 122 is in contact with the FPC plate 201. A compression spring 1231 is sleeved on the limiting part 123. The pressing plate 11 is provided with a limiting groove 124 for the limiting part 123 to slide. One end of the compression spring 1231 is fixedly connected to the limiting groove 124, and the other end of the compression spring 1231 is fixedly connected to the limiting part 123. When the pressing plate 11 drives the pressing column 12 to press down, the compression spring 1231 is compressed, generating elastic force. The elastic force is opposite to the pressure applied by the pressing plate 11 to the FPC plate 201, thereby making the pressing plate 11 elastically press down on the FPC plate 201, thereby further reducing the wear on the FPC plate 201 when the pressing column 12 is pressed down.

[0026] Furthermore, the width of the limiting part 123 is greater than the width of the pressing part 122, thereby making it less likely for the end of the pressing column 12 to detach from the pressing plate 11, thus improving the stability of the connection between the pressing column 12 and the pressing plate 11.

[0027] The conveying module 20 corresponds to the clamping mechanism, which is not shown in the figure. The output end of the conveying module 20 is provided with a carrier plate 21 for placing the tooling plate 200. The conveying module 20 is used to drive the tooling plate 200 to move to correspond with the pressing plate 11. The two sides of the conveying module 20 in the conveying direction are respectively provided with a waste box 22 and a discharge module 23. The waste box 22 is used to place the FPC plate 201 with a skewed bonding posture, and the discharge module 23 is used to convey the FPC plate 201 with a normal bonding posture to the next process.

[0028] The output end of the moving component is equipped with a mounting plate 31 and a second lifting cylinder 32. The mounting plate 31 is equipped with a first lifting cylinder 311, and the output end of the first lifting cylinder 311 is equipped with a vacuum suction head 3111. The output end of the second lifting cylinder 32 is equipped with a CCD industrial camera 321. The moving component cooperates with the first lifting cylinder 311 to drive the vacuum suction head 3111 and the CCD industrial camera 321 to move. The vacuum suction head 3111 is used to transfer the tooling plate 200 into the waste box 22 or onto the discharge module 23. The CCD industrial camera 321 is used to detect whether the FPC bonding posture is skewed. Specifically, in this embodiment, the conveying module 20 is a double-speed chain drive mechanism, and the discharge module 23 is a belt conveyor mechanism.

[0029] Furthermore, the moving component includes a first moving module 33 and a second moving module 34 disposed at the output end of the first moving module 33. The output end of the second moving module 34 is fixedly connected to the mounting plate 31 and the lifting cylinder 32. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first moving module 33 is a screw drive structure disposed along the conveying direction of the conveying module 20, and the second moving module 34 is a screw drive structure perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying module 20.

[0030] Furthermore, the FPC board pressing and testing device 100 also includes a lifting cylinder 50 disposed on the conveying module 20. The output end of the lifting cylinder 50 corresponds to the carrier plate 21, and the lifting cylinder 50 corresponds to the pressing plate 11. The lifting cylinder 50 is used to drive the FPC board 201 to move to correspond with the pressing column 12. Furthermore, the output end of the lifting cylinder 50 is provided with a lifting plate 51 for lifting the carrier plate 21. When the conveying module 20 conveys the tooling plate 200 with the FPC board 201 attached to it to correspond with the pressing plate 11, the lifting cylinder 50 drives the carrier plate 21 to rise until the FPC board 201 on the tooling plate 200 moves to contact the pressing column 12.

[0031] After the FPC board 201 is mounted, the clamping mechanism transfers the fixture plate 200 with the FPC board 201 mounted onto the carrier plate 21. The conveying module 20 conveys the fixture plate 200 to the corresponding pressing plate 11. The pressing cylinder 10 controls the pressing plate 11 to press down. Several pressing pillars 12 on the pressing plate 11 come into contact with each end face of the FPC board 201. As the pressing plate 11 descends, each end face of the FPC board 201 further fully fits with the fixture plate 200, thereby compensating for the problem of the mounting head not being properly mounted, thus improving the mounting effect.

[0032] After the pressing plate 11 presses the FPC board 201 together, the conveying module 20 continues to convey the tooling plate 200 forward. Simultaneously, the first moving module 33 and the second moving module 34, in conjunction with the lifting cylinder 32, drive the CCD industrial camera 321 to move directly above the tooling plate 200. The CCD industrial camera 321 detects the bonding posture of the FPC board 201 on the tooling plate 200. If the bonding posture is misaligned, the first moving module 33 and the second moving module 34... The lifting cylinder 311 drives the vacuum suction head 3111 to transfer the tooling plate 200 with the FPC board 201 attached to it into the waste box 22. If the bonding posture is normal, the first moving module 33 and the second moving module 34, together with the lifting cylinder 311, drive the vacuum suction head 3111 to transfer the tooling plate 200 with the FPC board 201 attached to it onto the discharge module 23. Then, the discharge module 23 transports the FPC board 201 with the normal bonding posture to the next process.
