Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of inkjet printing technology, and in particular to an automated double-sided inkjet printing device for circuit boards. Background Technology
[0002] Circuit boards are essential components in electronic devices. To save costs or space, circuitry can be printed on both sides of the circuit board. Currently, most inkjet printers on the market use single-sided printing. Double-sided printing typically requires a combination of multiple machines: a front-side printer, a loading / unloading machine, a flipping machine, a printing machine, and a unloading machine. This results in low production efficiency and high labor costs. Utility Model Content
[0003] This invention provides an automated double-sided inkjet printing equipment for circuit boards, which can achieve double-sided inkjet printing of circuit boards on the same machine, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.
[0004] This utility model provides an automated double-sided inkjet printing device for circuit boards, including a machine body, and a first gripper, a first worktable, a second gripper, a flipping mechanism, a second worktable, a third gripper, and a printing mechanism disposed on the machine body. The first gripper is used to place the circuit board to be printed on the first worktable. The second gripper moves the circuit board to be printed from the first worktable to the flipping mechanism. The flipping mechanism flips the circuit board to be printed and places it on the second worktable with its other side facing up. The printing mechanism is movably disposed on the machine body between the first worktable and the second worktable and prints the circuit boards to be printed on the first worktable and the second worktable. The third gripper removes the printed circuit board from the second worktable.
[0005] Furthermore, a first support is provided on the machine body, and the printing mechanism is movably disposed on the first support. The first worktable is movably disposed on the machine body between the loading position and the first printing position. The second worktable is movably disposed on the machine body between the second printing position and the unloading position. The loading position and the unloading position are located on the same side of the first support, and the first printing position and the second printing position are located on the other side of the first support relative to the loading position and the unloading position.
[0006] Furthermore, a second support and a third support are provided on the machine body. The second support is located on the same side of the first support relative to the loading position and the unloading position. The third support is located on the other side of the first support relative to the second support. Both the first gripper and the third gripper are movably mounted on the second support along a direction perpendicular to the movement of the first worktable, and both can move up and down relative to the second support. The second gripper is movably mounted on the third support along a direction perpendicular to the movement of the first worktable, and can move up and down relative to the third support.
[0007] Furthermore, a fourth support is provided on the machine body, and the flip-plate mechanism is movably mounted on the fourth support.
[0008] Furthermore, the flipping mechanism includes a support plate and a flipping motor. The flipping motor is movably mounted on a fourth bracket located on the machine body. The flipping motor is connected to the support plate via a rotating shaft to flip the support plate.
[0009] Furthermore, the carrier plate is provided with a fixing structure for fixing the circuit board to be printed.
[0010] Furthermore, the fixing structure is a suction cup.
[0011] Furthermore, the first worktable and / or the second worktable includes a base plate, a cover plate, a first power source, a second power source, and a pressure plate. The cover plate covers the base plate, and the first power source and the second power source are disposed on the base plate and located below the cover plate. A sliding groove for the pressure plate to slide is provided on the cover plate. The first power source and the second power source are both connected to the pressure plate. The first power source drives the pressure plate to move along the sliding groove, and the second power source drives the pressure plate to move up and down.
[0012] Furthermore, an adsorption device is provided on the substrate, and an adsorption hole communicating with the adsorption device is provided on the substrate.
[0013] Furthermore, the automated circuit board double-sided inkjet printing equipment includes a fourth gripper, a receiving table, and a release paper storage tray. The release paper storage tray is used to store release paper. The third gripper places the circuit board with both sides printed on it on the receiving table. The fourth gripper is used to grip the release paper and place it on the circuit board with both sides printed on it.
[0014] In summary, in this utility model, when printing on the circuit board to be printed, the first worktable can be moved to the loading position, and the circuit board to be printed can be placed on the first worktable from the loading mechanism, such as the loading production line, by the first gripper. At this time, the first surface of the circuit board to be printed is facing upwards. The first worktable transfers the circuit board to be printed to the first printing position. At the first printing position, the printing mechanism prints on the first surface of the circuit board to be printed. After printing is completed, the second gripper picks up the circuit board to be printed and places it on the flipping mechanism. The flipping mechanism then prints on the first surface of the circuit board to be printed. The circuit board is flipped and placed on the second worktable. Since the circuit board is flipped, the side that has already been printed is facing down, while the side that hasn't been printed is facing up. The printing mechanism moves to the second printing position and prints on the other side of the circuit board. After printing, both sides of the circuit board are printed. The second worktable moves the printed circuit board from the second printing position to the unloading position, and the third gripper removes the circuit board from the second worktable, completing the entire process of double-sided printing. By using a flipping mechanism, multiple worktables, multiple grippers, and a movable printing mechanism, double-sided printing of circuit boards can be achieved on the same machine, improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

Detailed Implementation To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.
[0028] This invention provides an automated double-sided inkjet printing equipment for circuit boards, which can achieve double-sided inkjet printing of circuit boards on the same machine, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.
[0029] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, the automated double-sided inkjet printing equipment for circuit boards provided by this utility model includes a machine body 10, a first gripper 21, a first worktable 31, a second gripper 22, a flipping mechanism 40, a second worktable 32, a third gripper 23, and an inkjet printing mechanism 50. The first gripper 21, the first worktable 31, the inkjet printing mechanism 50, the second gripper 22, the flipping mechanism 40, the second worktable 32, and the third gripper 23 are all mounted on the machine body 10. The first gripper 21 places the circuit board to be printed onto the first worktable 31 for loading; understandably, at this time, one surface of the circuit board will be facing upwards. The first worktable 31 moves the circuit board to be printed from the loading position to the first printing position. The second gripper 22 moves the circuit board to be printed from the first worktable 31 at the first printing position to the flipping mechanism 40. The flipping mechanism 40 flips the circuit board to be printed and places it with its other side facing upwards onto the second worktable 32. The second worktable 32 moves the printed circuit board from the second worktable 32 at the second printing position to the unloading position. The third gripper 23 removes the printed circuit board from the second worktable 32 for unloading. The printing mechanism 50 is movably mounted on the machine body 10 between the first worktable 31 at the first printing position and the second worktable 32 at the second printing position, and prints on the two surfaces of the circuit board to be printed on the first worktable 31 and the second worktable 32 at the first and second printing positions, respectively.
[0030] When printing on the circuit board to be printed using the automated double-sided inkjet printing equipment provided by this utility model, the first worktable 31 can be moved to the loading position, and the circuit board to be printed can be placed on the first worktable 31 from the loading mechanism, such as the loading production line, by the first gripper 21. At this time, the first surface of the circuit board to be printed is facing upwards. The first worktable 31 transfers the circuit board to be printed to the first printing position. At the first printing position, the printing mechanism 50 prints on the first surface of the circuit board to be printed. After the printing is completed, the second gripper 22 picks up the circuit board to be printed and places it on the flipping mechanism 40. The flipping mechanism 40... The circuit board to be printed is flipped over and placed on the second worktable 32. At this time, since the circuit board to be printed has been flipped, the side that has been printed is facing down, while the side that has not been printed is facing up. The printing mechanism 50 moves to the second printing position and prints on the other side of the circuit board to be printed. After printing is completed, both sides of the circuit board to be printed have been printed. The second worktable 32 moves the circuit board with both sides printed from the second printing position to the unloading position. The third gripper 23 removes the circuit board from the second worktable 32 for unloading, thus completing the entire process of printing the circuit board on both sides.
[0031] In this embodiment, the above-described device enables double-sided printing of circuit boards on the same machine, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.
[0032] Please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 4 In this embodiment, a first support 11 is provided on the machine body 10, and the printing mechanism 50 is movably mounted on the first support 11. The aforementioned loading and unloading positions are located on the first side of the support ( Figure 3 The first and second printing positions are located on the opposite side from the loading and unloading positions, i.e., the second side (the side below the paper surface). Figure 3 (On the side above the paper). Correspondingly, the first gripper 21 and the third gripper 23 are both located on the first side, while the second gripper 22 and the flipping mechanism 40 are located on the second side. Through the above arrangement, the production cycle can be optimized and interference between different production cycles can be prevented.
[0033] A second support 12 is also provided on the machine body 10. The second support 12 is located on the first side of the first support 11. The first gripper 21 and the third gripper 23 mentioned above can be movably mounted on the second support 12 in a direction perpendicular to the movement direction of the first worktable 31 and the second worktable 32. Correspondingly, a third support 13 is also provided on the machine body 10. The third support 13 is located on the second side of the first support 11. The second gripper 22 can be movably mounted on the second support 12 in a direction perpendicular to the movement direction of the first worktable 31.
[0034] Understandably, in order to facilitate the gripping of the circuit board, the first gripper 21, the second gripper 22, and the third gripper 23 can all move up and down.
[0035] The first gripper 21, the second gripper 22, and the third gripper 23 can be equipped with adsorption devices to grip the circuit board using vacuum adsorption or other methods.
[0036] Please continue to refer to Figures 6 to 9 A fourth support 14 is also provided on the machine body 10, and the aforementioned flipping mechanism 40 is movably mounted on the fourth support 14. When the flipping mechanism 40 descends, the circuit board to be printed located on it can be placed on the second worktable 32.
[0037] The flipping mechanism 40 includes a support plate 41 and a flipping motor 42. The flipping motor 42 is movably mounted on the fourth bracket 14 and is connected to the support plate 41 via a rotating shaft 421 to flip the support plate 41. A fixing structure 411 for fixing the circuit board to be printed is also provided on the support plate 41. In this embodiment, the fixing structure 411 can be a suction cup. Correspondingly, multiple suction cup connectors are provided on the support plate 41 for connection to an air pump.
[0038] After the circuit board to be printed is printed on one surface of the first worktable 31, the third gripper 23 can use its own suction device to pick up the circuit board to be printed along the length of the machine body 10, that is... Figure 3 After moving left and right, place the circuit board to be printed on the carrier plate 41; start the flipping motor 42 to rotate the carrier plate 41 180° so that the side of the circuit board to be printed is facing down; move the carrier plate 41 down so that the carrier plate 41 is close to the second worktable 32; release the circuit board to be printed so that the circuit board to be printed falls on the second worktable 32, thus completing the flipping of the circuit board to be printed; then, move the carrier plate 41 up and start the flipping motor 42 so that the carrier plate 41 is reset so that the next circuit board to be printed can be flipped.
[0039] In this embodiment, a height difference can be set between the flip plate mechanism 40 and the printing mechanism 50 to prevent them from interfering with each other during operation. Alternatively, the second worktable 32 can be moved at the printing station to prevent them from interfering with each other during operation.
[0040] Please continue to refer to Figures 10 to 12 In this embodiment, the structures of the first worktable 31 and the second worktable 32 can be identical. Taking the first worktable 31 as an example, the first worktable 31 includes a base plate 311, a cover plate 312, a first power source 313, a second power source 314, and a pressure plate 315. The cover plate 312 covers the base plate 311, and the first power source 313 and the second power source 314 are disposed on the base plate 311 and located below the cover plate 312. A sliding groove 316 is provided on the cover plate 312 for the pressure plate 315 to slide. The first power source 313 and the second power source 314 are both connected to the pressure plate 315. The first power source 313 drives the pressure plate 315 to move along the sliding groove 316, and the second power source 314 drives the pressure plate 315 to move up and down.
[0041] When the first gripper 21 places the circuit board to be printed on the first worktable 31, the first power source 313 can drive the pressure plate 315 to move, so as to leave space on the first worktable 31 for the circuit board to be printed. The second power source 314 drives the pressure plate 315 to move upward, so as to leave space between the pressure plate 315 and the cover plate 312. After the first gripper 21 places the circuit board to be printed on the first worktable 31, the first power source 313 drives the pressure plate 315 to move, so that the pressure plate 315 moves to the side edge of the circuit board to be printed, so as to prevent the circuit board to be printed from shaking in the direction of the cover plate 312. The second power source 314 drives the pressure plate 315 to press down, so as to press on the edge of the circuit board to be printed, so as to prevent the circuit board to be printed from shaking in the vertical direction of the cover plate 312, thereby fixing the circuit board to be printed.
[0042] Furthermore, an adsorption device is provided on the substrate 311, and an adsorption hole 317 communicating with the adsorption device is provided on the cover plate 312 to adsorb the circuit board to be printed.
[0043] Please continue to refer to Figures 1 to 4 In this embodiment, the automated circuit board double-sided inkjet printing equipment also includes a fourth gripper 24, a receiving table 33, and a release paper storage tray 34. The release paper storage tray 34 is used to store release paper. The third gripper 23 places the circuit board that has been inkjet printed on both sides onto the receiving table 33. The fourth gripper 24 is used to grip the release paper and cover the circuit board that has been inkjet printed on both sides with the release paper.
[0044] With the fourth gripper 24 and the isolation paper storage disk 34, isolation paper can be covered on the circuit board after printing on both sides to protect the circuit board.
[0045] In summary, in this utility model, when printing on the circuit board to be printed, the first worktable 31 can be moved to the loading position, and the circuit board to be printed can be placed on the first worktable 31 from the loading mechanism, such as the loading production line, by the first gripper 21. At this time, the first surface of the circuit board to be printed is facing upwards. The first worktable 31 transfers the circuit board to be printed to the first printing position. At the first printing position, the printing mechanism 50 prints on the first surface of the circuit board to be printed. After printing is completed, the second gripper 22 picks up the circuit board to be printed and places it on the flipping mechanism 40. The flipping mechanism 40... The circuit board to be printed is flipped over and placed on the second worktable 32. Since the circuit board has been flipped, the side that has already been printed is facing down, while the side that has not been printed is facing up. The printing mechanism 50 moves to the second printing position and prints on the other side of the circuit board. After printing, both sides of the circuit board are printed. The second worktable 32 moves the printed circuit board from the second printing position to the unloading position, and the third gripper 23 removes the circuit board from the second worktable 32, completing the entire process of printing on both sides of the circuit board. Through the setup of the flipping mechanism 40, multiple worktables, multiple grippers, and the movable printing mechanism 50, double-sided printing of circuit boards can be achieved on the same machine, improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.
