[0016] The following are the reference numerals: 100 rack, 110 marble tabletop, 120 X-axis guide rail, 130 X-axis slider, 140 dust cover, 150 Y-axis guide rail, 160 Y-axis slider, 170 Z-axis guide rail, 180 Z-axis slider, 190 dust extraction device, 200 positioning platform, 300 laser cutting assembly, 310 laser galvanometer, 320 laser, 400 suction device, 500 industrial camera. Detailed Implementation

[0017] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below, with reference to Figures 1 to 4This invention provides an FPC shape cutting device, including a frame 100, a positioning platform 200, and a laser cutting assembly 300. The positioning platform 200 is movably connected to the frame 100 along the X-axis and is used to position and place copper foil. The laser cutting assembly 300 includes a laser galvanometer 310, which is movably connected to the frame 100 along the Y-axis and Z-axis and is used to cut FPC products of the desired shape from the copper foil. This device uses the laser cutting assembly 300 to cut FPC shapes. When cutting is required, the copper foil is positioned on the positioning platform 200, and the positioning platform 200 is moved along the X-axis to below the laser galvanometer 310. The laser galvanometer 310 can move along the Y-axis and Z-axis according to the desired FPC shape, thereby cutting FPC products of the desired shape from the copper foil. Therefore, this device can replace existing mold stamping processing equipment, meet the production needs of FPCs with different shapes, and reduce production costs.

[0018] Of course, it should be noted that the working principle of laser cutting is existing technology. This equipment utilizes the existing laser cutting principle to cut copper foil to obtain FPC products of the desired shape, thereby replacing existing mold stamping equipment. Therefore, this equipment involves researching and improving the specific mechanical structure of existing laser cutting equipment to make it suitable for cutting FPC shapes, without improving the laser cutting process or control process. The laser cutting assembly 300 also includes a laser 320, which is mounted on the frame 100. The laser emitted by the laser passes through a structure such as a reflector and then through a laser galvanometer 310 to strike the copper foil. Driven by a scanning motor, the laser galvanometer 310 moves along the Y-axis and Z-axis to achieve laser cutting of the copper foil. Furthermore, the laser 320 is a picosecond ultraviolet laser, and the scanning range of the laser galvanometer 310 is selected as 50mm × 50mm.

[0019] Furthermore, referring to Figure 2 The frame 100 includes a marble tabletop 110, on which the positioning platform 200 is mounted. The marble tabletop 110 has high planar accuracy, large load-bearing capacity, and excellent vibration absorption, making it suitable for high-speed operation of the positioning platform 200 and the laser cutting assembly 300, thus improving operational accuracy. Further, refer to... Figure 2The frame 100 is equipped with an X-axis guide rail 120, and an X-axis slider 130 is slidably connected to the X-axis guide rail 120. A positioning platform 200 is fixedly mounted on the X-axis slider 130. The X-axis slider 130 is driven by a linear motor to slide along the X-axis guide rail 120, thereby moving the positioning platform 200 and the copper foil along the X-axis direction. The positioning platform 200 can achieve positioning of the copper foil through various methods. Preferably, the positioning platform 200 is an adsorption plate fixedly mounted on the X-axis slider 130. The adsorption plate is connected to a suction device 400 on the side of the frame 100 through an air pipe. The suction device 400 provides negative pressure to the adsorption plate, thereby adsorbing and fixing the copper foil onto the positioning platform 200. This positioning is reliable and easy to operate. Furthermore, the size of the adsorption plate is larger than the size of the copper foil. While adsorbing and positioning the copper foil, the area around the adsorption plate can also remove fine waste generated during laser cutting, preventing it from affecting the FPC quality. Furthermore, dust covers 140 are provided at both the front and rear ends of the X-axis guide rail 120 to prevent external dust from entering and to prevent internal fine particles from escaping. Furthermore, two sets of X-axis guide rails 120 are arranged in parallel, and X-axis sliders 130 are slidably connected to both sets of X-axis guide rails 120. Adsorption plates are fixedly installed on both sets of X-axis sliders 130. This dual-platform processing structure improves processing efficiency.

[0020] Furthermore, in some embodiments, the FPC shape cutting equipment further includes an industrial camera 500, which is movably connected to the frame 100 along the Y-axis and Z-axis directions. The industrial camera 500 is used to position and photograph positioning points on the copper foil, thereby determining the position of the copper foil so that the laser galvanometer 310 can perform moving cutting. Further, referring to... Figure 3 and Figure 4 The frame 100 is equipped with a Y-axis guide rail 150, on which a Y-axis slider 160 is slidably connected. A Z-axis guide rail 170 is mounted on the Y-axis slider 160, and a Z-axis slider 180 is slidably connected to the Z-axis guide rail 170. The laser galvanometer 310 and the industrial camera 500 are both fixedly mounted on the Z-axis slider 180. Furthermore, a dust collection device 190 is fixedly connected to the Y-axis slider 160, located below the laser galvanometer 310. The dust collection device 190, in conjunction with an adsorption plate, can promptly remove small waste particles generated during laser cutting to prevent them from affecting the operation of the laser galvanometer 310 and to avoid waste particles falling onto the copper foil and causing quality problems. Furthermore, the dust collection device 190 can be a structure where a suction nozzle is connected to a suction device 400, or a structure where a nozzle and a blowing device are used, as long as it can remove the small waste particles below the laser galvanometer 310.
