Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of auxiliary tooling technology for electronic components, and more specifically to an auxiliary tooling for rework of panelized printed circuit boards. Background Technology

[0002] As the size of the printed circuit board 100 becomes smaller, in order to facilitate the use of automatic solder paste printers, pick-and-place machines, and other equipment during subsequent mounting, multiple small printed circuit boards are combined into a large board for processing. The combined large board is called a panelized printed circuit board 200. The panelization method is widely used, and the most convenient one is the process edge with connecting ribs. That is, the vertically adjacent printed circuit boards 100 are connected by longitudinal connecting ribs 300, the horizontally adjacent printed circuit boards 100 are connected by the first transverse connecting ribs 400, and the printed circuit boards 100 located on the two sides are connected to the process edges 600 on both sides by the second transverse connecting ribs 500 respectively.

[0003] When reworking finished printed circuit boards (PCBs), the existing through-holes are typically used as internal positioning holes for positioning and fixing the PCB before milling the longitudinal connecting ribs (300mm). When the PCB is small and thin, small panels are difficult to fix, and they tend to wobble during rework, leading to bulges or delamination at the board edges, resulting in product scrap. Using flat-blade pliers to cut away the longitudinal connecting ribs (300mm) also results in delamination at the board edges due to the difficulty in fixing the panels, leading to a high scrap rate.

[0004] Therefore, how to provide a panelized printed circuit board rework auxiliary tooling that can securely fix each printed circuit board and effectively prevent the phenomenon of bulging or delamination at the board edges when dealing with excess longitudinal connecting ribs between printed circuit boards, thereby reducing product scrap rate, saving production costs, and improving product quality, is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides an auxiliary tooling for reworking spliced ​​printed circuit boards, which can securely fix each printed circuit board and effectively prevent the phenomenon of bulging or delamination on the board edges when dealing with excess connecting ribs between printed circuit boards, thereby reducing product scrap rate, saving production costs, and improving product quality.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A rework auxiliary tooling for a panelized printed circuit board includes: a board body, wherein a plurality of positioning grooves are formed on the top surface of the board body, the positioning grooves are adapted to the shape of the printed circuit board, and the printed circuit board is embedded in the positioning grooves; a longitudinal notch for longitudinal connecting ribs on the printed circuit board is provided between two adjacent vertical positioning grooves; a first transverse notch for first transverse connecting ribs on the printed circuit board is provided between two adjacent left and right positioning grooves; and a second transverse notch for second transverse connecting ribs on the printed circuit board is provided on the positioning grooves on both sides; two process edge placement grooves are formed on the top surface of the board body, the two process edge placement grooves are respectively located on the left and right sides of the positioning grooves, and two process edges on the printed circuit board are respectively embedded in the two process edge placement grooves.

[0008] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, this utility model discloses an auxiliary tooling for the rework of panelized printed circuit boards. In use, multiple printed circuit boards on the panelized printed circuit board are placed in corresponding positioning slots, longitudinal connecting ribs are placed in longitudinal notches, first transverse connecting ribs are placed in first transverse notches, second transverse connecting ribs are placed in second transverse notches, and process edges are placed in process edge placement slots, thereby realizing the combination of the panelized printed circuit board and the board body. Then, the panelized printed circuit board is effectively limited and fixed by the positioning slots, longitudinal notches, first transverse notches, second transverse notches, and process edge placement slots. After that, the board body is placed on a milling machine to mill off the excess longitudinal connecting ribs, and finally realizes the rework of the panelized printed circuit board.

[0009] Therefore, this tooling can provide stable positioning for the assembled printed circuit board, effectively preventing edge protrusion or delamination, saving production costs and improving product quality.

[0010] Furthermore, the positioning groove has an inner concave hole at its inner corner that allows the inner corner position to form a right angle.

[0011] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are as follows: Since the printed circuit board has right-angled sides, it is necessary to design concave holes at the inner corners of the positioning grooves to make the inner corners more like right angles, so that each printed circuit board can be accurately embedded into the corresponding positioning groove, so that the positioning groove and the printed circuit board fit better, avoid the printed circuit board from moving during the milling process, and improve the milling accuracy of the printed circuit board.

[0012] Furthermore, a second positioning hole is provided on the bottom surface of the process edge placement groove, which is coaxially arranged with the first positioning hole on the process edge. The pin passes through the first positioning hole and the second positioning hole to fix the process edge in the process edge placement groove.

[0013] The beneficial effects of adopting the above technical solution are: the pins can be used to quickly position and fix the panel printed circuit board and the board body, so as to facilitate milling. Attached Figure Description
