Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of FPC testing technology, and more specifically, to a single PCS FPC identification and detection device. Background Technology

[0002] Flexible printed circuits (FPCs) use polyimide (PI) or polyester film as a substrate and are formed by etching copper foil. The thickness can be controlled within 0.1 mm, and they have the ability to be bent, rolled, and arranged in three-dimensional space. Their composition includes insulating film, conductors, and adhesives, supporting multilayer stacking and rigid-flexible designs.

[0003] With the trend of miniaturization of electronic devices, current FPCs can also integrate electronic components, or combine FPCs and PCBs to form basic FPC electronic device modules; after the module is produced, it still needs to be tested to ensure product quality.

[0004] Current methods for testing single-piece FPC modules typically involve manually connecting the FPC pins to a tester before testing, which is extremely inefficient and unsuitable for mass production. Therefore, this invention proposes a single-PCFPC identification and testing device to at least partially address the problems inherent in the prior art. Utility Model Content

[0005] To overcome or at least partially solve the above problems, this utility model provides a single-PCS FPC identification and detection device.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the embodiments of this utility model have at least the following advantages or beneficial effects:

[0017] An industrial camera and a loading vacuum suction cup are mounted on the top of a transmission platform, with corresponding recognition areas defined for the platform and camera. A detection area is located at the end of the transmission platform.

It should be understood that the following drawings only show some embodiments of this utility model and should not be regarded as a limitation on the scope. For those skilled in the art, other related drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort.

[0019] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a single-PCS FPC identification and detection device provided in one embodiment of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this utility model described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0021] The following detailed description of some embodiments of this application is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Unless otherwise specified, the various embodiments and features described below can be combined with each other.

[0022] Please refer to Figure 1 As shown, some embodiments of this utility model provide a single-PCS FPC identification and detection device, including: a transmission platform 10; an industrial camera 11 and a loading vacuum suction cup 12 are provided on the upper end of the transmission platform 10, and the transmission platform 10 and the industrial camera 11 are respectively divided into an identification area 14; a detection area 16 is provided at the end of the transmission platform 10; the loading vacuum suction cup 12 is connected to a rotatable and telescopic three-dimensional moving mechanism, and its moving trajectory can pass through the identification area 14 and the detection device 13 located in the detection area 16.

[0023] By setting up a transmission platform 10, along with an industrial camera 11, a loading vacuum suction cup 12, and divided identification and detection areas 14 and 16, the identification and detection processes of FPC modules are integrated into a single device. The industrial camera 11 acquires and identifies images of the FPC in the identification area 14, accurately locating information such as the pin positions. The loading vacuum suction cup 12, connected to a rotatable and retractable three-dimensional moving mechanism, accurately transfers the FPC from the identification area 14 to the detection equipment in the detection area 16 based on the identification results from the industrial camera 11. This replaces the traditional manual docking method, greatly improving detection efficiency and making it suitable for mass production. During operation, the transmission platform 10 transports the FPC module to be detected to the identification area 14. The industrial camera 11 identifies the FPC module, and then the loading vacuum suction cup 12 adjusts its position and attaches to the module. The loading vacuum suction cup 12 then transfers the FPC module to the detection area 16 and adjusts its orientation so that the pins of the FPC module are aligned with the detection equipment 13 before detection. On the one hand, this solves the problem of low efficiency in manual inspection; on the other hand, it solves the problem of products being placed arbitrarily on the transmission platform 10 and difficult to align with the inspection equipment 13. For example, the transmission platform 10 uses a belt conveyor, and the industrial camera 11 is installed directly above the transmission platform 10 to capture images of the FPC passing through the recognition area 14. The three-dimensional moving mechanism connected to the loading vacuum suction cup 12 is driven by a servo motor, and achieves precise X, Y, and Z axis movement and rotation through transmission components such as lead screws and guide rails. For example, when the FPC enters the recognition area 14, the industrial camera 11 captures an image and transmits the data to the control system. The control system, based on the image analysis results, controls the three-dimensional moving mechanism to move the loading vacuum suction cup 12 above the FPC, picks up the FPC, and then transfers it to the inspection equipment in the inspection area 16 for inspection.

[0024] In some embodiments of this utility model, a feeding vacuum suction cup 15 is also provided on one side of the detection area 16, and the feeding vacuum suction cup 15 is connected to a three-dimensional moving mechanism. By setting up the feeding vacuum suction cup 15 and connecting it to the three-dimensional moving mechanism on one side of the detection area 16, the FPC can be quickly removed from the detection device 13 and transferred to a designated position after the FPC has completed detection. This automates the feeding process of the FPC, further improving the automation level and production efficiency of the entire detection device, reducing manual intervention, and avoiding the risk of damage to the FPC due to untimely or improper manual feeding. The three-dimensional moving mechanism of the feeding vacuum suction cup 15 is similar in structure to the three-dimensional moving mechanism of the loading vacuum suction cup 12, and is also driven by a servo motor. After receiving instructions from the control system, the feeding vacuum suction cup 15 moves to the detection device in the detection area 16, picks up the FPC that has completed detection, and then transfers it to the feeding conveyor belt or material box. For example, the feeding conveyor belt is set on one side of the detection area 16, the feeding vacuum suction cup 15 places the FPC on the conveyor belt, and the conveyor belt transports the FPC to the subsequent process.

[0025] Furthermore, the testing equipment 13 is characterized by comprising: an in-circuit tester (ICT), an impedance meter, and a comprehensive wire tester. The testing equipment 13 includes multiple instruments such as the ICT, impedance meter, and comprehensive wire tester, enabling comprehensive testing of the FPC from different perspectives. The ICT can test the circuit soldering quality and component parameters of the FPC; the impedance meter is used to measure the impedance characteristics of the FPC; and the comprehensive wire tester can test the connection performance of the FPC pins. The combined use of multiple testing instruments ensures the comprehensiveness and accuracy of FPC testing, improves product quality, and meets the market's demand for high-quality FPCs.

[0026] A testing equipment 13 rack is set up in the testing area 16. Instruments such as the ICT (Inductively Coupled Test) device, impedance meter, and wire guide tester are mounted on the rack and connected to the control system via data cables. The test interface 17 is located on the side of the testing equipment 13 rack near the testing area 16 to facilitate connection between the FPC and the testing equipment 13. For example, when the FPC is moved to the testing area 16, the loading vacuum suction cup 12 accurately aligns the FPC's pins with the test interface 17. The control system then sequentially activates the ICT, impedance meter, and wire guide tester to test the FPC and feeds the test data back to the control system in real time for analysis and judgment.

[0027] In some embodiments of this invention, a feeding mechanism is also provided on one side of the transmission platform 10. The feeding mechanism on one side of the transmission platform 10 enables automatic feeding of the FPC inspection device, further improving the automation level of the entire inspection process. The feeding mechanism can continuously and stably transport the FPC to the identification area 14 of the transmission platform 10, eliminating the need for frequent manual placement of FPCs. This not only saves labor costs but also improves production continuity and efficiency, enabling the inspection device 10 to better adapt to the needs of mass production. For example, the feeding mechanism uses a vibratory feeder, which separates the stacked FPCs one by one and transports them to the entrance of the identification area 14 of the transmission platform 10. A sensor is installed at the entrance of the identification area 14. When an FPC is detected, the transmission platform 10 starts operating, transporting the FPC to the identification area 14 for image acquisition and identification. For example, the vibratory feeder transports the FPC along a track by vibration, and a guide groove is provided at the end of the track to ensure that the FPC accurately enters the identification area 14 of the transmission platform 10.

[0028] In some embodiments of this utility model, the detection device 13 is connected to a test interface 17; the test interface 17 extends to the detection area 16.

[0029] The testing device 13 connects to the testing interface 17 and extends to the testing area 16, enabling the FPC to easily and quickly connect to the testing device in the testing area 16, ensuring the smooth progress of the testing process. The reasonable design of the testing interface 17 avoids the problem of low testing efficiency caused by inconvenient connection, while also improving the stability and reliability of the connection, thus contributing to the accuracy of the testing results. The aforementioned testing interface 17 uses a pluggable connector. One end of the connector is connected to the circuit board of the testing device via a data cable, and the other end extends to the testing area 16 and is fixed to the testing platform 10 in the testing area 16. When the FPC is transferred to the testing area 16, the loading vacuum suction cup 12 accurately inserts the FPC's pins into the connector of the testing interface 17, realizing the electrical connection between the FPC and the testing device 13 for various tests. For example, the shape and size of the connector match the FPC pins to ensure a tight and stable connection.
