Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laser beam processing, such as welding, cutting or drilling, specifically a cutting device for the production of flexible copper clad laminates. Background Technology
[0002] Flexible copper clad laminate (FCL) is a key material used in flexible printed circuit boards (FPCs). Its core features are its flexibility and thinness. FCL is made by bonding flexible insulating substrate and copper foil together with adhesives or through direct lamination processes to form a layered structure with copper cladding on one or both sides. When cutting FCL, an FPC flexible board laser cutting machine is one type of cutting device.
[0003] Chinese patent document CN215393231U discloses an FPC laser cutting device. This utility model uses a fixed suction cup in the positioning groove seat to position the FPC board below the laser cutter head. After the FPC board is positioned below the laser cutter head, the laser cutter head can cut the FPC board. After the cutting is completed, the lifting mechanism can lift one end of the positioning groove seat. After the positioning groove seat is lifted, it will tilt. At this time, the vibration motor can generate vibration, thereby quickly removing the cut FPC board.
[0004] Before cutting, the aforementioned utility model places the FPC board inside the positioning groove seat and then fixes it using the lower suction cup. After cutting, the FPC board slides into the collection box by the vibration of the vibration motor. However, in order to ensure the adsorption function, the suction cup is usually made of elastic materials such as silicone. When the FPC board slides by vibration, there will be a large friction between the lower suction cup and the FPC board, which will affect the efficiency of the FPC board sliding and reduce the efficiency of removing the FPC board.

[0033] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a new technical solution: a flexible copper-clad laminate production cutting device, including a base 1, a fixed bracket 2 fixedly connected to the upper side of the base 1, a cutting component 3 fixedly connected to the upper side of the fixed bracket 2, a laser cutter head 4 installed on the lower side of the cutting component 3, a placement groove 5 opened on the upper side of the base 1, a connecting groove 6 opened inside the base 1, the lower side of the placement groove 5 extending into the interior of the connecting groove 6, a discharge port 7 opened on the front side of the base 1, the rear side of the discharge port 7 extending into the interior of the connecting groove 6, the bottom wall of the discharge port 7 being inclined with the front lower and the rear higher, an auxiliary mechanism set inside the connecting groove 6, which can support and fix the board during cutting, and discharge the board after cutting is completed. The auxiliary mechanism includes a placement plate 8, a connecting rod 9, a telescopic motor assembly 10, a sliding groove 12, two sliding blocks 13, two clamping plates 14, a rotary motor assembly 15, a bidirectional screw 17, and an arc groove 18.
[0034] Furthermore, the placement plate 8 is installed inside the connecting groove 6, with its upper side contacting the top wall of the connecting groove 6. Both the front and rear sides of the placement plate 8 are semi-cylindrical surfaces. The connecting rod 9 is fixedly connected inside the placement plate 8, with its left and right ends extending out from the left and right sides of the placement plate 8, respectively. The left and right ends of the connecting rod 9 are rotatably connected to the left and right walls of the connecting groove 6, respectively. The telescopic motor assembly 10 is fixedly connected inside the base 1, with its upper side extending into the connecting groove 6. A telescopic rod 11 is fixedly connected to the output end of the telescopic motor assembly 10, with its upper end contacting the lower side of the placement plate 8. A sliding groove 12 is formed inside the placement plate 8, and the sliding groove 12 is a convex groove shape. Both sliding blocks 13 are slidably connected to the sliding groove 12. Inside the groove 12, both sliding blocks 13 are convex block structures, and the upper side of each sliding block 13 extends out of the sliding groove 12. The two sliding blocks 13 are arranged symmetrically from left to right. Two clamping plates 14 are fixedly connected to the upper side of the two sliding blocks 13 respectively. The rotary motor assembly 15 is fixedly connected to the left side of the placement plate 8. The output end of the rotary motor assembly 15 is fixedly connected to the drive shaft 16. The right end of the drive shaft 16 extends into the interior of the sliding groove 12. The bidirectional screw 17 is fixedly connected to the right end of the drive shaft 16. The right end of the bidirectional screw 17 is threaded through the two sliding blocks 13. The right end of the bidirectional screw 17 is rotatably connected to the right wall of the sliding groove 12. The arc-shaped groove 18 is opened on the left wall of the connecting groove 6. The left side of the rotary motor assembly 15 extends into the interior of the arc-shaped groove 18.
[0035] Furthermore, upon starting work, the telescopic motor assembly 10 is first activated. The telescopic motor assembly 10 transmits power from its output end, causing the telescopic rod 11 to extend. The telescopic rod 11 then moves upwards, lifting the placement plate 8. The placement plate 8 then begins to move in a circular motion around the connecting rod 9. It stops when the upper side of the placement plate 8 contacts the top wall of the connecting groove 6. During this movement, the placement plate 8 drives the rotary motor assembly 15 to move synchronously. The rotary motor assembly 15 causes the interior of the arc-shaped groove 18 to slide. Then, the flexible copper-clad laminate is placed on the upper side of the placement plate 8. At this time, the rotary motor assembly 15 is activated, transmitting power from its output end to rotate the drive shaft 16. The drive shaft 16 drives the bidirectional screw 17 to rotate synchronously. The bidirectional screw 17 moves the two threaded sliding blocks 13. The two sliding blocks 13 begin to move towards their opposite faces, and then the two sliding blocks 13 drive the two... The clamping plates 14 move synchronously, clamping and fixing the flexible copper-clad laminate. Then, the laser cutter head 4 can cut the flexible copper-clad laminate. After the cutting is completed, the collecting device is placed in front of the base 1, and the collecting device should be below the discharge port 7. Then, the rotating motor assembly 15 is started in the opposite direction. As mentioned above, the two clamping plates 14 will move to the side away from each other, and the clamping and fixing of the flexible copper-clad laminate by the two clamping plates 14 will be released. Then, the telescopic motor assembly 10 is started in the opposite direction, and the telescopic motor assembly 10 will drive the telescopic rod 11 to retract. The telescopic rod 11 will move downward, and the placement plate 8, which is no longer supported by the telescopic rod 11, will start to rotate clockwise around the connecting rod 9. The placement plate 8 will then become tilted. At this time, the flexible copper-clad laminate, which is no longer clamped, will slide along the tilted placement plate 8 and into the discharge port 7. Then, it will slide into the collecting device through the discharge port 7 and be collected.
[0036] Furthermore, this method ensures that the board is fixed during cutting without affecting its removal, thus improving the board removal efficiency.
