This is crucial for improving production efficiency and ensuring product quality, and is widely used in the electronics manufacturing industry.
[0003] In the prior art, traditional circuit board font printing positioning components generally use corner positioning strips to position the circuit board. In this way, the corners of the circuit board are positioned to ensure that the font is aligned with the position of the circuit board during the printing process. However, this positioning method has some significant drawbacks.

[0035] The adjustment mechanism 4 consists of a stepper motor 401, two support lugs 402, and two guide rails 403. The stepper motor 401 drives the lead screw 405 to rotate. When the lead screw 405 rotates, it synchronously drives the first connecting plate 407, which is fixedly connected to the internal threaded sleeve 408, to move. While the first connecting plate 407 moves horizontally, it also drives the two guide sleeves 406, which are fixedly connected to the second connecting plates 409, to move horizontally. In turn, the first connecting plate 407 and the two second connecting plates 409 drive the twelve support seats 4010 to move. This process drives the twelve positioning clamping components 5 on the adjustment mechanism 4 to make precise adjustments through the rotation of the lead screw 405. The working principle of the adjustment mechanism 4 realizes high-precision and fast positioning adjustment, and can accurately control the movement of the positioning clamping components 5 to ensure that the circuit board body 6 achieves the best alignment effect during the clamping process. The design of the adjustment mechanism 4 ensures that the device can make fine adjustments according to the size of the circuit board, improving the automation and adaptability of the equipment.
[0036] As one implementation method in this embodiment, please refer to Figure 6 As shown, twelve support seats 4010 are slidably sleeved inside twelve movable slots 102. Each of the twelve positioning and clamping components 5 includes a second bearing 501. The inner rings of the twelve second bearings 501 are fixedly sleeved on the outer side of the twelve connecting shafts 4011, and the outer rings of the twelve second bearings 501 are fixedly sleeved with rubber positioning wheels 502. The twelve rubber positioning wheels 502 are in groups of three and are respectively attached to the four side walls of the circuit board body 6.
[0037] The positioning and clamping assembly 5 consists of a second bearing 501 and rubber positioning wheels 502. The rubber positioning wheels 502 are attached to the four side walls of the circuit board body 6 and are fixed by twelve support seats 4010. Each rubber wheel is connected to the adjustment mechanism 4 through a connecting shaft 4011 to ensure that the circuit board body 6 can be accurately clamped and positioned. During positioning, the positioning and clamping assembly 5 not only provides precise mechanical support, but also avoids damage to the surface of the circuit board due to the softness of the rubber wheels, thereby improving the safety and positioning accuracy of the circuit board. This design greatly improves the reliability of the equipment in efficient and precise production.
[0038] Working Principle: The placement component 1 consists of a placement base 101 with multiple movable slots 102 internally. These slots ensure the circuit board body 6 can be stably placed and is stably clamped and positioned by four adjustment mechanisms 4 and twelve positioning clamping components 5. The main function of the placement component 1 is to provide a stable and adjustable placement platform for the circuit board, keeping it level during printing and reducing printing deviations caused by inaccurate positioning. This design allows for rapid adaptation to circuit boards of different sizes, improving flexibility and efficiency in the production process, especially when multiple sizes of circuit boards need to be quickly replaced. Component 2 provides stable support for the placement component 1 through the main support column 201 and the secondary support columns 202. The main support column 201 is located at the center of the lower end of the placement base plate 101, while the four secondary support columns 202 surround the lower edge of the main support column 201. The four secondary support columns 202, together with the main support column 201, can evenly distribute the weight, ensuring that the placement component 1 will not tilt or become unstable during use, thus improving the stability of the entire device. In addition, the support component 2 is connected to the secondary support columns 202 through the support base plate 203, which strengthens the support and effectively prevents vibration or uneven pressure during operation from affecting the circuit board body 6.
[0039] The driving component 3 drives the placement component 1 to rotate via the driving motor 301. The driving motor 301 is fixed to the lower end of the support substrate 203, and its rotating end is connected to the center of the lower end of the support substrate 203 via a conductive slip ring 302. Driven by the driving motor 301, the entire support component 2 and placement component 1 can rotate, thereby adjusting the positioning angle of the circuit board body 6 to adapt to different printing requirements. This driving method enables the device to have an automatic adjustment function, improves the automation level of the operation process, avoids errors caused by manual operation, and improves production efficiency and accuracy. The adjustment mechanism 4 consists of a stepper motor 401, two support lugs 402, and two guide rails 403, etc. The stepper motor 401 drives the lead screw 405 to rotate. When the lead screw 405 rotates, it will move in tandem with the lead screw 405. The first connecting plate 407, which is fixedly connected to the internal threaded sleeve 408, moves horizontally. While the first connecting plate 407 moves horizontally, it also drives the two guide sleeves 406, which are fixedly connected to the second connecting plates 409, to move horizontally. In turn, the first connecting plate 407 and the two second connecting plates 409 drive the twelve support seats 4010 to move. This process is precisely adjusted by rotating the lead screw 405 to drive the twelve positioning clamping components 5 on the adjustment mechanism 4. The working principle of the adjustment mechanism 4 realizes high-precision and fast positioning adjustment, and can accurately control the movement of the positioning clamping components 5 to ensure that the circuit board body 6 achieves the best alignment effect during the clamping process. The design of the adjustment mechanism 4 ensures that the device can be finely adjusted according to the size of the circuit board, improving the automation and adaptability of the equipment.
[0040] The positioning and clamping assembly 5 consists of a second bearing 501 and rubber positioning wheels 502. The rubber positioning wheels 502 are attached to the four side walls of the circuit board body 6 and are fixed by twelve support seats 4010. Each rubber wheel is connected to the adjustment mechanism 4 through a connecting shaft 4011 to ensure that the circuit board body 6 can be accurately clamped and positioned. During positioning, the positioning and clamping assembly 5 not only provides precise mechanical support, but also avoids damage to the surface of the circuit board due to the softness of the rubber wheels, thereby improving the safety and positioning accuracy of the circuit board. This design greatly improves the reliability of the equipment in efficient and precise production.
