Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flexible circuit board processing technology, specifically to an integrated device for flattening and conveying flexible circuit boards. Background Technology

[0002] In the production and processing of flexible printed circuit boards (FPCs), flattening is necessary to eliminate wrinkles, while orderly conveying ensures precise alignment with subsequent processes. Currently, the equipment used in the industry has significant shortcomings: traditional equipment often separates flattening and conveying functions, requiring manual transfer of the flattened FPCs to the conveying mechanism. This not only increases process complexity but also easily leads to secondary wrinkles or positional shifts in the circuit boards due to manual operation, affecting processing quality. Some integrated equipment suffers from uneven flattening force control, making it difficult to adapt to the flattening requirements of FPCs of varying thicknesses. Furthermore, it lacks precise positioning and clamping structures, making it prone to board shifting and falling during conveying. In addition, the lifting and limiting structures of most equipment are poorly designed, failing to achieve smooth switching between flattening and conveying stations, reducing production efficiency and failing to meet the demands of large-scale, high-precision processing of FPCs. Utility Model Content

[0003] This invention provides an integrated device for flattening and conveying flexible circuit boards, which solves the problems of poor connection between flattening and conveying, low flattening accuracy, unstable positioning and clamping, unstable workstation switching, and low production efficiency in the prior art.

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides an integrated device for flattening and conveying flexible circuit boards, comprising a main transmission component, an auxiliary moving component at the bottom of the main transmission component, clamping components and positioning and lifting components on both sides of the main transmission component, a fixing plate in the middle, a pressure roller between the fixing plates, and conveying plates spaced apart on the main transmission component; a moving plate is provided on the auxiliary moving component, a cylinder plate is fixedly mounted on the moving plate via a side plate, a lifting cylinder is provided under the cylinder plate, and a lifting plate adapted to the conveying plate is provided at the output end of the lifting cylinder.

[0005] Furthermore, the conveyor plate is provided with a fixed bottom mold adapted to the flexible circuit board.

[0006] Furthermore, the clamping assembly includes a support frame, on which a first cylinder is disposed, and a clamping mounting plate is disposed at the output end of the first cylinder. A clamping cylinder is disposed on the clamping mounting plate, and a movable clamping arm is disposed at the output end of the clamping cylinder. A fixed clamping arm is disposed on the other side of the clamping mounting plate.

[0007] Furthermore, a height limiting plate is provided on the main transmission component near the fixed plate.

[0008] Furthermore, a blocking mechanism is provided on the side of the main transmission component near the clamping component.

[0009] Furthermore, the positioning and lifting assembly includes a U-shaped plate fixed to the side of the main transmission assembly, and a second cylinder is provided on both sides of the U-shaped plate, with a positioning support plate provided at the output end of each of the second cylinders.

[0010] Furthermore, the clamping assembly, the positioning and lifting assembly, and the auxiliary moving assembly all include limiting shafts for assisting in lifting and lowering.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. High-efficiency operation of flattening and conveying: The equipment integrates the main transmission component and the pressing roller. When the flexible circuit board is transported to the fixed plate through the transmission plate, the pressing roller precisely flattens it without the need for manual transfer, realizing the integration of "flattening-conveying" and greatly improving production efficiency. The fixed bottom mold on the transmission plate is adapted to the shape of the flexible circuit board to avoid the circuit board shifting during the transmission process. The height limit plate can prevent the circuit board from rising too high and affecting the flattening effect, further ensuring the processing quality.

[0012] 2. Precise positioning and stable clamping: The clamping assembly adjusts the height of the clamping mounting plate through the first cylinder. The clamping cylinder drives the moving clamping arm to cooperate with the fixed clamping arm to achieve stable clamping of the flexible circuit board and prevent the circuit board from shifting before entering the main transmission assembly. The second cylinders on both sides of the U-shaped plate of the positioning and lifting assembly drive the positioning tray to rise and fall, which can position and lift the circuit board after it has been flattened by the transmission, ensuring that it enters the subsequent work station accurately. The blocking mechanism can temporarily block the circuit board when it reaches the designated position.

[0013] 3. Smooth workstation switching and safety protection: The moving plate of the auxiliary moving component can drive the lifting cylinder to adjust its position. The lifting cylinder drives the lifting plate to rise, lifting the circuit board on the conveyor plate to realize the workstation switching before and after flattening. The limit shafts on the auxiliary moving component, clamping component, and positioning and lifting component ensure that the lifting of each component is smooth and avoids deviation. The overall structure is compact, and the functional modules work together to reduce manual intervention and reduce the risk of circuit board damage caused by operational errors. It is suitable for the high-precision processing requirements of flexible circuit boards. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 4 As shown, an embodiment of the flexible circuit board flattening and conveying integrated device of the present invention includes a main transmission component 1, an auxiliary moving component 2 at the bottom of the main transmission component 1, clamping components 3 and positioning and lifting components 4 respectively on both sides of the main transmission component 1, a fixing plate 5 in the middle, a pressing roller 6 between the fixing plates 5, a conveying plate 7 spaced apart on the main transmission component 1, a fixing bottom mold 8 adapted to the flexible circuit board on the conveying plate 7, a height limiting plate 9 on the main transmission component 1 near the fixing plate 5, and a blocking mechanism 10 on the side of the main transmission component 1 near the clamping component 3. A moving plate 21 is provided on the auxiliary moving component 2. A cylinder plate 23 is fixedly installed on the moving plate 21 via a side plate 22. A lifting cylinder 24 is provided under the cylinder plate 23. A lifting plate 25 adapted to the conveyor plate 7 is provided at the output end of the lifting cylinder 24. The clamping assembly 3 includes a support frame 31, a first cylinder 32 is provided on the support frame 31, a clamping mounting plate 33 is provided at the output end of the first cylinder 32, a clamping cylinder 34 is provided on the clamping mounting plate 33, a movable clamping arm 35 is provided at the output end of the clamping cylinder 34, and a fixed clamping arm 36 is provided on the other side of the clamping mounting plate 33. The positioning and lifting assembly 4 includes a U-shaped plate fixed to the side of the main transmission assembly 1. A second cylinder 42 is provided on both sides of the U-shaped plate, and a positioning support plate 43 is provided at the output end of each second cylinder 42. The clamping assembly 3, the positioning and lifting assembly 4, and the auxiliary moving assembly 2 all include a limit shaft 11 for assisting in lifting.

[0026] The working principle and specific operation process of this utility model are as follows: Equipment initialization and parameter settings: Turn on the equipment power and check whether the conveyor plate 7 of the main transmission component 1 runs smoothly and whether the clamping roller 6 rotates flexibly; adjust the height of the first cylinder 32 of the clamping component 3 to ensure that the clamping mounting plate 33 is in the initial position that adapts to the thickness of the flexible circuit board; set the lifting stroke of the lifting cylinder 24 and the positioning height of the second cylinder 42 to ensure that the actions of each component are coordinated; check whether each limit shaft 11 is firmly installed to ensure the stability of the lifting process.

[0027] Workpiece loading and clamping positioning: The flexible circuit board to be processed is placed on the conveyor plate 7 of the main conveyor assembly 1 near the clamping assembly 3. The fixed bottom mold 8 on the conveyor plate 7 performs initial positioning of the circuit board. The blocking mechanism 10 is activated to prevent the conveyor plate 7 from moving further. The first cylinder 32 of the clamping assembly 3 is activated, which drives the clamping mounting plate 33 to descend to the specified height. Then the clamping cylinder 34 is activated, which pushes the moving clamping arm 35 to move towards the fixed clamping arm 36 to stably clamp the circuit board and prevent subsequent movement and deviation. After clamping is completed, the blocking mechanism 10 is reset and preliminary processing is performed. After processing is completed, the clamping assembly 3 operates in reverse to send it into the main conveyor assembly 1, which drives the conveyor plate 7 to move towards the flattening station.

[0028] Secondary positioning and flattening: When the conveyor plate 7 moves the circuit board to the position of the auxiliary moving component 2, the moving plate 21 of the auxiliary moving component 2 is activated, and the position of the lifting cylinder 24 is adjusted so that the lifting plate 25 is aligned with the conveyor plate 7. The lifting cylinder 24 is activated, and the lifting plate 25 lifts the circuit board on the conveyor plate 7 with the assistance of the limit shaft 11. The lifting plate 25 lifts the circuit board on the conveyor plate 7 until it rises to the preset position (the flexible circuit board contacts the pressure roller 6). At this time, the auxiliary moving component 2 is activated again to move the moving plate 21, which in turn moves the conveyor plate 7 to pass the workpiece through the pressure roller 6 to achieve the flattening operation.

[0029] Workstation switching and subsequent conveying: After the flattening operation is completed, the auxiliary moving component 2 is reversed to put the conveyor belt onto the main conveying component 1 and move forward until it moves above the positioning and lifting component 4. The second cylinders 42 on both sides of the U-shaped plate are activated to drive the positioning tray 43 to rise. The limit shaft 11 assists in smooth lifting and lowering, driving the workpiece to rise and fall, so that it can enter the next workstation.

Equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the present invention are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
