[0023] Please refer to Figures 1-4 This application provides a support device including a frame 100, a support assembly 200, and a processing module 300. A workpiece 400 is placed on the frame 100, and the processing module 300 is positioned above the workpiece 400 to process the workpiece 400. The frame 100 has multiple processing stations arranged along a first direction to support the workpiece 400. For example, the workpiece 400 is a circuit board or other component, and the processing module 300 is used to perform drilling or other processing operations on the workpiece 400.

[0024] Please refer to Figure 1 The support assembly 200 includes a first support beam 210 and a second support beam 220. Both the first and second support beams are arranged along a first direction. The first support beam 210 and the frame 100 have relative movement along a second direction, and the second support beam 220 and the frame 100 also have relative movement along the second direction. The first and second directions intersect. For example, the first and second directions are perpendicular to each other. The first direction is the length direction of the first support beam 210 / second support beam 220, and the second direction is the width direction of the first support beam 210 / second support beam 220.

[0025] In one embodiment, the frame 100 is fixed, and the first support beam 210 and the second support beam 220 can slide relative to the frame 100 along a second direction. That is, by fixing the frame 100 and moving the first support beam 210 and the second support beam 220, relative movement between the first support beam 210 / second support beam 220 and the frame 100 is achieved, thereby driving the processing modules 300 on the first support beam 210 and the second support beam 220 to move to different positions for processing.

[0026] In another embodiment, both the first support beam 210 and the second support beam 220 are fixed, and the frame 100 can slide relative to the first support beam 210 and the second support beam 220 in a second direction. That is, by fixing the first support beam 210 and the second support beam 220 and moving the frame 100, relative movement between the first support beam 210 / the second support beam 220 and the frame 100 is achieved, thereby driving the processing modules 300 on the first support beam 210 and the second support beam 220 to move to different positions for processing.

[0027] The processing module 300 includes a plurality of first processing units 310 disposed on a first support beam 210 and a plurality of second processing units 320 disposed on a second support beam 220. Both the first processing units 310 and the second processing units 320 are used to process the workpiece 400. Each processing station is equipped with at least one first processing unit 310 and at least one second processing unit 320. For example, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 In the same processing station, there is a first processing unit 310 and a second processing unit 320. Alternatively, please refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 4 In the same processing station, two first processing units 310 and two second processing units 320 are configured. Alternatively, three first processing units 310 and three second processing units 320 are configured in the same processing station. This embodiment does not limit the number of first processing units 310 and second processing units 320 in the same processing station. Of course, the number of first processing units 310 in the same processing station may not be equal to the number of second processing units 320.

[0028] Both the first processing unit 310 and the second processing unit 320 include components such as drill bits or drill rods that can be used for processing operations such as drilling of the workpiece 400. At the same time, the components can move along the height direction to drill into the workpiece 400 at different depths.

[0029] In this embodiment of the application, a first support beam 210 and a second support beam 220 are simultaneously provided on the frame 100. A first processing unit 310 in the processing module 300 is disposed on the first support beam 210, and a second processing unit 320 in the processing module 300 is disposed on the second support beam 220. During processing, at least one first processing unit 310 on the first support beam 210 and at least one second processing unit 320 on the second support beam 220 can process the workpiece 400 at the same processing station, thereby improving processing efficiency.

[0030] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4Each processing station can carry one workpiece 400. The first processing unit 310 and the second processing unit 320 process different positions of the same workpiece 400, thereby shortening the processing time of a single workpiece 400 and improving processing efficiency.

[0031] In another embodiment, each processing station can accommodate multiple workpieces 400. The first processing unit 310 and the second processing unit 320 process different positions of the same workpiece 400, thereby shortening the processing time of a single workpiece 400. Simultaneously, other positions at the processing station can simultaneously perform preparatory processes such as loading other workpieces 400, avoiding idle processing modules 300 during loading. This shortens the connection time between multiple processes in the entire processing flow and improves processing efficiency.

[0032] In another embodiment, each processing station can carry multiple workpieces 400, and the first processing unit 310 and the second processing unit 320 simultaneously process different workpieces 400 within the same processing station, thereby improving the efficiency of batch processing.

[0033] In one embodiment, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 Multiple first processing units 310 are located on the side of the first support beam 210 facing the second support beam 220; multiple second processing units 320 are located on the side of the second support beam 220 facing the first support beam 210. In other words, the first processing units 310 are located inside the first support beam 210, and the second processing units 320 are located inside the second support beam 220. It is understood that this arrangement has the advantage of shortening the distance between the first processing units 310 and the second processing units 320, thereby enabling the first processing units 310 and the second processing units 320 to process positions that are closer together simultaneously.

[0034] In another embodiment, multiple first processing units 310 are located on the side of the first support beam 210 opposite to the second support beam 220; multiple second processing units 320 are located on the side of the second support beam 220 opposite to the first support beam 210. In other words, the first processing units 310 are located outside the first support beam 210, and the second processing units 320 are located outside the second support beam 220. It is understood that the advantage of this arrangement is that, since both processing units are located outside the support beams, there are no processing units obstructing the inner side of the support beams, allowing the inner sides of the first support beam 210 and the second support beam 220 to be closer together, resulting in less space occupied by the first and second support beams in the width direction (second direction).

[0035] In another embodiment, a plurality of first processing units 310 are located on the side of the first support beam 210 facing away from the second support beam 220; a plurality of second processing units 320 are located on the side of the second support beam 220 facing the first support beam 210. In other words, the first processing units 310 are located on the outer side of the first support beam 210, and the second processing units 320 are located on the inner side of the second support beam 220. Alternatively, the first processing units 310 may be located on the inner side of the first support beam 210, and the second processing units 320 may be located on the outer side of the second support beam 220. This provides a more flexible arrangement to adapt to different processing position distributions.

[0036] In another embodiment, a plurality of first processing units 310 are respectively provided on the side of the first support beam 210 facing away from and towards the second support beam 220, and a plurality of second processing units 320 are provided on the side of the second support beam 220 facing away from or towards the first support beam 210. Each processing station is configured with at least two first processing units 310 and at least one second processing unit 320. That is, first processing units 310 are provided on both the inner and outer sides of the first support beam 210, and second processing units 320 are provided on both the inner and outer sides of the second support beam 220, so that each processing station is configured with at least two first processing units 310 and at least one second processing unit 320. Alternatively, first processing units 310 may be provided on both the inner and outer sides of the first support beam 210, and second processing units 320 may be provided on both the inner and outer sides of the second support beam 220, so that each processing station is configured with at least one first processing unit 310 and at least two second processing units 320. This is applicable to different distributions of processing positions and further improves processing efficiency.

[0037] In another embodiment, a plurality of first processing units 310 are respectively provided on the side of the first support beam 210 facing away from and towards the second support beam 220, and a plurality of second processing units 320 are respectively provided on the side of the second support beam 220 facing away from and towards the first support beam 210. Each processing station is equipped with at least two first processing units 310 and at least two second processing units 320. That is, first processing units 310 are provided on both the inner and outer sides of the first support beam 210, and second processing units 320 are provided on both the inner and outer sides of the second support beam 220, so that each processing station is equipped with at least two first processing units 310 and at least two second processing units 320 for processing, thereby further improving processing efficiency.

[0038] This application also provides a PCB processing device, including the aforementioned support device.

[0039] Regarding the arrangement of the number of first processing units 310 or second processing units 320 arranged along the first direction in the same processing station, please refer to... Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, each processing station is equipped with a first processing unit 310 and a second processing unit 320 for processing the workpiece 400 at the same processing station. Please refer to... Figure 3 and Figure 4 In another embodiment, each processing station is equipped with two first processing units 310 and two second processing units 320 to process the workpiece 400 at the same processing station. Of course, the embodiments of this application do not limit the number of first processing units 310 and second processing units 320 arranged along the first direction in the same processing station. In the same processing station, there may be three or more first processing units 310 and three or more second processing units 320 arranged along the first direction.

[0040] According to some embodiments of this application, multiple first processing units 310 are divided into multiple processing groups, each processing group including a first unit and a second unit; the first support beam 210 is provided with a first connector and a second connector, both of which can move along a first direction; the first unit of each processing group is connected to the first connector, and the second unit of each processing group is connected to the second connector. Specifically, by connecting the first unit of each processing group to the first connector and the second unit of each processing group to the second connector, driving the first connector can drive the first unit of each processing group to move simultaneously, and driving the second connector can drive the second unit of each processing group to move simultaneously. In this way, each first unit / each second unit can simultaneously process the same position of different workpieces 400, which not only improves processing efficiency but also improves the consistency of processing positions among multiple workpieces 400.

[0041] For example, please refer to Figure 4 Multiple first processing units 310 can be numbered along a first direction as No. 1, No. 2, No. 3, No. 4, No. 5, and No. 6, etc. No. 1 and No. 2 form a processing group, used to process two different positions of the same workpiece 400; No. 3 and No. 4 form another processing group, used to process two different positions of the same workpiece 400; and No. 5 and No. 6 form yet another processing group, used to process two different positions of the same workpiece 400. In these multiple processing groups, No. 1, No. 3, and No. 5 are all first units and are simultaneously connected to a first connecting member. The movement of the first connecting member along the first direction can simultaneously move No. 1, No. 3, and No. 5; No. 2, No. 4, and No. 6 are all second units and are simultaneously connected to a second connecting member. The movement of the second connecting member along the first direction can simultaneously move No. 2, No. 4, and No. 6. This achieves multi-station coupled machining.

[0042] It is understood that this embodiment does not limit the number of first processing units 310 in the same processing group. The same processing group may include two or more processing units of any number. For example, it may also include a third unit, a fourth unit, and a fifth unit, etc., with corresponding third, fourth, and fifth connecting members for connection.

[0043] It should also be mentioned that the second machining unit 320 can also be configured for multi-station coupling machining as described above.

[0044] In another embodiment, a plurality of first drivers and a plurality of second drivers are provided. The plurality of first drivers are used to drive a plurality of first processing units 310 to move along a first direction. Each first driver has a first output end and a first fixed end. The first fixed end is connected to a first support beam 210, and the first output end is connected to a first processing unit 310. The plurality of second drivers are used to drive a plurality of second processing units 320 to move along the first direction. Each second driver has a second output end and a second fixed end. The second fixed end is connected to a second support beam 220, and the second output end is connected to a second processing unit 320. That is, each first processing unit 310 moves independently to provide a more flexible driving form, enabling the plurality of first processing units 310 to move to different positions of a plurality of workpieces 400 to process the plurality of workpieces 400 at different positions simultaneously. Of course, the plurality of first processing units 310 can also be moved to the same position of a plurality of workpieces 400 to process the plurality of workpieces 400 at the same position simultaneously.

[0045] In one embodiment, the frame 100 includes a first sub-station and a second sub-station arranged along a second direction. A first processing module 300 is correspondingly provided at the first sub-station for processing the workpiece 400 at the first sub-station. A second processing module 300 is correspondingly provided at the second sub-station for processing the workpiece 400 at the second sub-station. It is understood that by providing multiple processing areas and multiple processing modules 300 on the frame 100, each processing module 300 has at least one processing module 300 for processing, thereby improving the efficiency of batch processing.

[0046] In another embodiment, the frame 100 includes a first sub-station and a second sub-station arranged along a second direction. The processing module 300 and the frame 100 have relative movement along the second direction, so that the processing module 300 can move to the corresponding positions of the first sub-station and the second sub-station to process the workpiece 400 of the first sub-station and the second sub-station respectively. It is understood that by setting multiple processing areas on the frame 100 and setting at least one processing module 300, the relative movement of the processing module 300 and the frame 100 along the second direction allows the same processing module 300 to move above different processing areas for processing, thereby providing a more flexible layout and processing method.

Although this application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
