Obviously, the described embodiments are 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.

[0031] The application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings and embodiments. It can be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the related utility model, and not to limit the utility model. In addition, it should be noted that only parts related to the utility model are shown in the drawings for ease of description. It should be noted that the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0032] The utility model provides a kind of circuit board engraving equipment, as shown in Figures 1 to 6 It includes engraving cabin 1, engraving device 2 and the automatic conveying line 3 for carrying PCB board 100 conveying being set in the bottom of engraving device 2 are equipped in engraving cabin 1, engraving cabin 1 has the in-out material slot 10 corresponding with the two ends of automatic conveying line.

[0033] Engraving device 2 includes engraving carrier 4 and displacement driving mechanism 5 for driving engraving carrier to engrave displacement, laser 41 for being used to engrave on PCB board is equipped on engraving carrier 4, and engraving visual detection mechanism 42 for detecting engraving shaped body on PCB board.

[0034] Specific implementation process and principle explanation:

[0035] PCB board 100 is fed by in-out material slot 10, and PCB board enters engraving cabin 1 and is located at the bottom of engraving device 2 along automatic conveying line.

[0036] At this time, engraving device 2 runs, and displacement driving mechanism 5 drives engraving carrier 4 to displace engraving path, and laser 41 realizes the formation of engraving pattern on PCB board, and when engraving is completed, online engraving pattern detection is carried out by engraving visual detection mechanism 42, including scanning code identification detection, surface defect detection and other detection items, and the scheme of meeting online engraving and online detection is within the protection scope of the case.

[0037] In one specific embodiment, engraving visual guidance mechanism 43 for carrying out engraving displacement visual guidance is equipped on engraving carrier 4 and is connected with displacement driving mechanism 5.

[0038] Specifically, displacement driving mechanism 5 needs to run according to pattern trajectory during engraving process, and displacement driving mechanism 5 has certain mechanical displacement deviation during long-term operation, in order to make engraving trajectory more accurate, engraving visual guidance mechanism 43 is adopted, which is as shown in Figure 1 And Figure 4As shown, the inclined laser engraving device is directed to the laser engraving position, so that real-time image capture can be realized, and online deviation correction is realized. The deviation correction operation control associated with the image data belongs to the prior art, and will not be described here. The scheme that meets the requirements of online visual guidance of laser engraving is within the protection scope of the present case.

[0039] In one embodiment, the displacement driving mechanism 5 includes a first horizontal rail 51, a second horizontal rail 52 arranged on the first horizontal rail, and a carrying slide 53 arranged on the second horizontal rail for carrying the laser engraving carrier.

[0040] The second horizontal rail 52 has a linear sliding displacement in the direction of the first horizontal rail, and the carrying slide 53 has a linear sliding displacement in the direction of the second horizontal rail. The linear sliding displacement direction of the carrying slide is perpendicular to the linear sliding displacement direction of the second horizontal rail.

[0041] That is, the carrying slide 53 satisfies the carrying of the laser engraving carrier and satisfies the driving requirement of arbitrary switching displacement in the horizontal plane, and realizes the path operation of various laser engraving patterns. The vertical double horizontal linear displacement driving mechanism has cost advantage and efficient and smooth operation.

[0042] In one embodiment, the laser engraving carrier 4 has a lifting adjustment displacement.

[0043] Through the lifting displacement adjustment, the differentiated laser engraving stroke interval requirement is satisfied, which is more widely applicable. Combined with the intensity adjustment of the laser, the laser engraving texture is more rich.

[0044] In one embodiment, the automatic conveying line 3 includes two supporting rails 31 arranged at intervals, and each supporting rail 31 is provided with a circulating conveying belt 32. The automatic conveying line is provided with a blocking and positioning mechanism 6 for blocking or releasing the PCB.

[0045] Specific implementation process and principle explanation:

[0046] The PCB is supplied through the feeding and discharging slot 10, and the PCB is automatically conveyed on the supporting rail 31 along the circulating conveying belt 32. When the blocking and positioning mechanism 6 is reached, it is blocked. After the laser engraving of the PCB is completed, the blocking and positioning mechanism 6 releases the current PCB, which continues to displace along the automatic conveying line 3 from another feeding and discharging slot 10.

[0047] The blocking and positioning mechanism 6 is described, which is a mechanism that can interfere with the running of the PCB through lifting displacement.

[0048] In one embodiment, two supporting tracks 31 are provided with two horizontal supporting conveying parts 310 arranged at intervals along the direction of the automatic conveying line, and a turnover mechanism 7 for clamping and overturning the PCB is arranged between the two horizontal supporting conveying parts 310. The turnover mechanism is provided with a pushing power mechanism 70 for pushing the PCB to any horizontal supporting conveying part.

[0049] Specifically, the turnover mechanism 7 can realize the turnover operation of the PCB, thereby meeting the demand of double-sided laser etching operation. In addition, the pushing power mechanism is adopted to realize the pushing of the overturned PCB, thereby meeting the demand of the PCB reaching the horizontal supporting conveying part for conveying.

[0050] In one embodiment, the turnover mechanism 7 comprises two turnover track bodies 71 arranged at intervals, a rotary driving source 72 in driving connection with any turnover track body, and two oppositely arranged conveying belt bodies 710 with clamping gaps formed on the turnover track bodies.

[0051] Specifically, the PCB is conveyed by the horizontal supporting conveying part into the clamping gap and is pushed into position by the pushing power mechanism 70, and then the turnover track body 71 is driven by the rotary driving source 72 to overturn by 180°, thereby meeting the demand of double-sided laser etching processing.

[0052] The pushing power mechanism 70 is described as follows:

[0053] In one embodiment, the pushing power mechanism comprises a power source in driving connection with the conveying belt body, i.e. the automatic conveying of the PCB is realized by the transmission structure of the conveying belt body itself.

[0054] In another embodiment, the pushing power mechanism comprises a pushing power source with lifting displacement and horizontal telescopic displacement, i.e. the horizontal pushing of the PCB is realized by the lifting displacement of the pushing power source, and the lifting displacement of the pushing power source is used for avoiding the running path of the PCB, thereby facilitating the conveying and running of the PCB.

[0055] It can be found from the above description that the circuit board laser etching equipment can meet the automatic conveying and laser etching forming operation of the PCB, can realize laser etching forming and online detection, and is high in running efficiency, smooth and safe. The visual guiding mechanism is provided, the laser etching track runs more accurately, and the product forming qualification rate is significantly improved. Online overturning can be realized, thereby meeting the demand of double-sided laser etching forming of the PCB.

[0056] The term "comprising" or any other similar word is intended to encompass non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or equipment / device including a series of elements includes not only those elements, but also other elements not explicitly listed, or inherent elements of the process, method, article or equipment / device.

[0057] Thus far, the technical scheme of the utility model has been described in combination with the preferred embodiments shown in the drawings, but it is easy for those skilled in the art to understand that the protection scope of the utility model is obviously not limited to these specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art can make equivalent changes or replacements to the related technical features without deviating from the principles of the utility model, and the technical schemes after these changes or replacements will all fall within the protection scope of the utility model.
