[0029] Example 1
[0030] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 This embodiment provides a PCBA panel structure to improve production efficiency. The panel structure includes a process edge 1 and multiple PCB unit boards 2. The process edge 1 forms a hollow area, and the multiple PCB unit boards 2 are disposed in the hollow area. A cutout groove 6 is formed between any two adjacent PCB unit boards 2 and between any adjacent PCB unit board 2 and the process edge 1. The top corner of each PCB unit board 2 is connected to the top corner of an adjacent PCB unit board 2 or the process edge 1 through a connecting bridge 3. The connecting bridge 3 includes a first wide portion 3-1, a narrow portion 3-2 and a second wide portion 3-3 connected sequentially along the milling direction.

The first wide portion 3-1 and the second wide portion 3-3 are used to connect the top corner of the PCB unit board 2 or the process edge 1.
[0031] In one embodiment, the width of the cutout 6 is 2mm, and the width of the milling cutter in the milling process is 1.8mm. Therefore, the width of the narrow portion 3-2 of the connecting bridge 3 is less than or equal to 1.8mm.
[0032] In the embodiments of this application, each PCB unit board 2 is a PCB unit board of the same model, each PCB unit board 2 is a quadrilateral with 4 vertices, and multiple PCB unit boards 2 are distributed in X rows and Y columns in the hollow area enclosed by the process edge 1. Figure 1 The diagram shows eight PCB unit boards 2, arranged in two rows and four columns within a hollow area enclosed by the process edge 1. Each connecting bridge 3 has two connection ends in its first width portion 3-1 and second width portion 3-3. Figure 1In the embodiment, the top corner of the upper left position of the first PCB unit board 2 in the first column is adjacent to the vertical process edge and the horizontal process edge, the top corner of the upper left position of the first PCB unit board 2 in the first column is connected to one connecting end of the second wide part 3-3 of the connecting bridge 3, the two connecting ends of the first wide part 3-1 are connected to the horizontal process edge and the vertical process edge respectively, and the other connecting end of the second wide part 3-3 is connected to the vertical process edge. In actual design, since the process edge 1 and the connecting bridge 3 are made of the same material, the connecting bridge 3 and the connecting part of the process edge 1 can be fused, for example, the two connecting ends of the first wide part 3-1 of the connecting bridge 1 and the horizontal process edge and the vertical process edge are made as a whole, and the connecting end of the second wide part 3-3 connected to the vertical process edge and the vertical process edge are made as a whole.
[0033] Figure 1 In the embodiment, the top corner of the upper left position of the first PCB unit board 2 in the first column is adjacent to the vertical process edge and the horizontal process edge, the top corner of the upper left position of the first PCB unit board 2 in the first column is connected to one connecting end of the second wide part 3-3 of the connecting bridge 3, the two connecting ends of the first wide part 3-1 are connected to the horizontal process edge and the vertical process edge respectively, and the other connecting end of the second wide part 3-3 is connected to the vertical process edge. In actual design, since the process edge 1 and the connecting bridge 3 are made of the same material, the connecting bridge 3 and the connecting part of the process edge 1 can be fused, for example, the two connecting ends of the first wide part 3-1 of the connecting bridge 1 and the horizontal process edge and the vertical process edge are made as a whole, and the connecting end of the second wide part 3-3 connected to the vertical process edge and the vertical process edge are made as a whole.
[0034] Figure 1 In the embodiment, the top corner of the upper left position of the first PCB unit board 2 in the first column is adjacent to the vertical process edge and the horizontal process edge, the top corner of the upper left position of the first PCB unit board 2 in the first column is connected to one connecting end of the second wide part 3-3 of the connecting bridge 3, the two connecting ends of the first wide part 3-1 are connected to the horizontal process edge and the vertical process edge respectively, and the other connecting end of the second wide part 3-3 is connected to the vertical process edge. In actual design, since the process edge 1 and the connecting bridge 3 are made of the same material, the connecting bridge 3 and the connecting part of the process edge 1 can be fused, for example, the two connecting ends of the first wide part 3-1 of the connecting bridge 1 and the horizontal process edge and the vertical process edge are made as a whole, and the connecting end of the second wide part 3-3 connected to the vertical process edge and the vertical process edge are made as a whole.
[0035] Figure 1 The milling cutter only needs to process in the vertical direction when the spliced board structure shown in the embodiment is milled, that is, the connecting bridge 3 is cut off, and no horizontal processing is required except for the process edge 1.
[0036] It should be noted that the first wide part 3-1 and the second wide part 3-3 of the connecting bridge 3 are completely the same in structure, and the milling cutting process can start from the second wide part 3-3 or the first wide part 3-1.

The first wide part and the second wide part are used for connecting the top corner or process edge of the PCB unit plate. When the connecting bridge is milled, the milling cutter starts from any wide part, mills the wide part at the starting position first, then mills the narrow part, and finally mills the other wide part. Since the width of the narrow part is less than or equal to the width of the milling cutter in the milling process, the narrow part is completely milled by the milling cutter, so that the top corner or process edge of the PCB unit plate connected by the connecting bridge is separated. The same connecting bridge only needs to be milled once by the milling cutter, and a PCB unit plate only needs to be milled once on the periphery of two edges parallel to the milling direction, so that the process is reduced, the milling cutter only needs to be milled in one direction without reversing, time is saved, and production efficiency is improved.
[0038] In some possible embodiments, the width of the narrow part is less than or equal to a process value, and the process value is equal to the width of the milling cutter in the milling process minus a positioning tolerance. The positioning tolerance refers to the allowed tolerance of the device performing the milling process using the splicing optical positioning point for positioning. The positioning tolerance is generally determined according to the positioning accuracy of the device.
[0039] According to the above technical means, the width of the narrow part of the connecting bridge is less than or equal to the width of the milling cutter in the milling process minus the positioning tolerance, which can further ensure that the milling cutter will cut off the narrow part, and avoid the situation that the narrow part cannot be completely cut off when the milling cutter deviates from the center line of the hollow groove.
[0040] In some possible embodiments, the connecting bridge 3 is further provided with a unit plate optical positioning point 4. The unit plate optical positioning point 4 on each connecting bridge 3 corresponds to an adjacent PCB unit plate 2. Figure 1 In the illustrated embodiment, the unit plate optical positioning point 4 corresponding to the first PCB unit plate 2 in the first column is located on the connecting bridge 3 at the upper left corner of the first PCB unit plate 2, the unit plate optical positioning point 4 corresponding to the second PCB unit plate 2 in the first column is located on the connecting bridge 3 at the upper left corner of the second PCB unit plate 2, and the other PCB unit plates are similar.

In this way, the chip mounter can automatically give up mounting components on the scrap PCB unit plate when working.
[0042] In some possible embodiments, the process edge is also provided with a splicing plate optical positioning point 5. The splicing plate optical positioning point is used for accurately positioning the coordinates of the components on the PCBA by the chip mounter.
[0043] In some possible embodiments, the process edge is also provided with a jig positioning hole. The jig positioning hole is used for positioning the splicing plate by the jig.
[0044] In some possible embodiments, the plurality of PCB unit plate arrays are arranged in the hollow area.
[0045] In some possible embodiments, the hollow groove 6 is a milled groove.
[0046] In some possible embodiments, the PCB unit plate 2 is provided with a half edge electroplated pin 2-1 around the periphery. A certain spacing is reserved between each half edge electroplated pin 2-1 around the periphery of the PCB unit plate 2, so as to avoid short circuit between the pins. A certain spacing is also reserved between the half edge electroplated pin 2-1 and the connecting bridge 3, so as to avoid damage to the half edge electroplated pin during milling processing.
