Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of PCB processing equipment technology, and in particular to a thick-bottom copper PCB drilling machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of modern electronic equipment manufacturing, printed circuit boards (PCBs) serve as a crucial carrier for electronic components, and their quality and performance directly affect the stability and reliability of electronic devices. Drilling equipment plays a vital role in the PCB manufacturing process. Its main function is to drill precise holes in the PCB to facilitate the subsequent installation of electronic components and the connection of circuits.

[0003] However, existing drilling equipment mostly uses a helical blade design with equal tooth pitch. When cutting thick copper layers, copper chips are prone to form long continuous chips due to the high ductility of the material. These chips will tightly wrap around the surface of the drill body during the rotation of the drill bit and rub against the hole wall with the reciprocating motion of the drill bit, resulting in excessive roughness of the hole wall and even scratching the inner insulation layer, causing the risk of short circuit. Therefore, a thick-bottom copper PCB drilling machine was designed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the shortcomings of existing drilling equipment, such as debris adhesion and uneven hole walls during drilling, the technical problem is to provide a thick-bottom copper PCB drilling machine.

The drill is installed on the fixing component, and a drill bit is installed on the drill. A variable pitch structure is provided on the cutting section of the drill bit, with the pitch gradually changing from 0.8mm at the front end to 1.2mm at the rear end. A second electric guide rail is installed at the top of the worktable. A second moving component is installed on the second electric guide rail. A third electric guide rail perpendicular to the second electric guide rail is installed on the second moving component. A third moving component is installed on the third electric guide rail, and a chip discharge structure is installed on the third moving component.

[0006] Furthermore, it also includes a jet nozzle, which is installed on one side of the fixture.

The suction cups are slidably connected inside the telescopic sleeves. The bottom of the telescopic sleeves is fixedly connected to the springs, and the other end of the springs is fixedly connected to the suction cups.

[0008] Furthermore, the chip discharge structure includes a chip discharge box, a drain plate, and a chip collection box. The chip discharge box is installed on the third moving part, the drain plate is fixedly connected to the top of the chip discharge box, an inclined groove is installed on one side of the chip discharge box, and a chip collection box is installed on the worktable near the inclined groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the funnel plate has multiple funnel holes, and the center of the funnel plate is funnel-shaped.

Detailed Implementation

[0019] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0020] Example: A thick-bottom copper PCB drilling machine, such as Figures 1-5 As shown, the system includes a protective housing 1, a viewing window 2, a first electric guide rail 4, a worktable 5, a first moving component 6, a fixing component 7, a drilling rig 9, a drill bit 10, a second electric guide rail 14, a second moving component 15, a third electric guide rail 16, a third moving component 17, and a debris discharge structure. The viewing window 2 is mounted on the protective housing 1. The first electric guide rail 4 and the worktable 5 are installed inside the protective housing 1. The first moving component 6 is mounted on the first electric guide rail 4, and the fixing component 7 is fixedly connected to the first moving component 6. A drilling rig 9 is installed, and a drill bit 10 is installed on the drilling rig 9. A variable pitch structure is set on the cutting section of the drill bit 10, with the pitch gradually changing from 0.8mm at the front end to 1.2mm at the rear end. A second electric guide rail 14 is installed on the top of the worktable 5. A second moving part 15 is installed on the second electric guide rail 14. A third electric guide rail 16, which is perpendicular to the second electric guide rail 14, is installed on the second moving part 15. A third moving part 17 is installed on the third electric guide rail 16. A chip discharge structure is installed on the third moving part 17.

[0021] like Figure 3 As shown, a jet nozzle 8 is installed on one side of the fixture 7. The jet nozzle 8 periodically jets air onto the machining position, and the pulsed airflow periodically impacts the hole wall, shaking off the copper chips that are stuck to the hole wall.

[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, two telescopic sleeves 11 are installed at the bottom of the fastener 7. A suction cup 13 is slidably connected inside the telescopic sleeve 11. A spring 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the telescopic sleeve 11. The other end of the spring 12 is fixedly connected to the suction cup 13. During the processing, the suction cup 13 continuously holds the PCB board to ensure the stability of the processing.

[0023] like Figures 4-5 As shown, a chip removal box 18 is installed on the third moving part 17. A drain plate 19 is fixedly connected to the top of the chip removal box 18. An inclined groove 20 is installed on one side of the chip removal box 18. A chip collection box 21 is installed on the worktable 5 near the inclined groove 20 to collect the chips generated by drilling.

[0024] like Figures 4-5 As shown, the slotted plate 19 has multiple slots, and the center of the slotted plate 19 is funnel-shaped, which facilitates the rapid falling of debris into the chip box 18. The PCB board is placed directly on the slotted plate 19 for processing.

[0025] like Figures 1-2As shown, a controller 3 is installed on one side of the protective housing 1. An indicator light 301 is electrically connected to the controller 3. The controller 3 is electrically connected to all electric guide rails and the drilling rig 9. The controller 3 is used to preset processing parameters and control the operation of the equipment. The indicator light 301 displays the equipment status in real time (such as running, standby, fault).

[0026] The operator places the PCB board on the slot 19 and then closes window 2. The controller 3 sends signals to each electrical device according to preset instructions. First, the second electric guide rail 14 and the third electric guide rail 16 begin to move, moving the part of the PCB board to be processed directly below the drill bit 10. Then, the first electric guide rail 4 begins to move, causing the second moving part 15 to move the drill 9 down to contact the PCB board. At this time, the suction cup 13 draws air to hold the PCB board. Then, the drill 9 starts, rotating the drill bit 10. The second moving part 15 slowly moves down, compressing the spring 12. The suction cup 13 gradually retracts into the telescopic sleeve 11. Because the cutting section of the drill bit 10 has a variable pitch structure, the copper chips are forced to break periodically during the cutting process, forming long... For chips with a diameter ≤2mm, during the cutting process, the air nozzle 8 periodically sprays air onto the machining position. The pulsed airflow periodically impacts the hole wall, shaking off the copper chips adhering to the hole wall. The copper chips fall from the drain hole into the chip box 18. After machining is completed, the first electric guide rail 4 moves the first moving part 6 upward, the suction cup 13 stops vacuuming, the spring 12 gradually returns to its original position, and pushes the suction cup 13 to gradually extend the telescopic sleeve 11 until the drill bit 10 leaves the PCB board. At this time, the second electric guide rail 14 and the third electric guide rail 16 move again, so that the next part of the PCB board to be machined moves directly below the drill bit 10. Then the above is repeated until all machining is completed. Open the viewing window 2 and sweep the copper chips out of the chip box 18. The copper chips fall into the chip collection box 21 along the inclined groove 20, completing the copper chip cleaning.
