[0002] In modern manufacturing, thermoforming technology is a key processing technique widely used in electronics, automotive, aerospace, medical devices, and other fields. It primarily fulfills core processing requirements such as material shaping, bonding, and curing. Among these, FPC (flexible printed circuit board), a flexible circuit carrier using polyimide or polyester film as its substrate, has become a crucial component in consumer electronics, new energy vehicles, medical devices, and aerospace due to its core advantages of being lightweight, thin, flexible, resistant to high and low temperatures, and having high wiring density. Thermoforming, as a core process in FPC board production, directly determines its circuit connection reliability, structural strength, and long-term performance.

[0003] The existing technology, patent publication number CN215268913U, describes a multi-station high-efficiency hot press for FPC board production. The patent describes a hot press with an inverted U-shaped fixing frame vertically mounted on the top of the worktable. A pneumatic telescopic rod is installed at the middle of the upper part of the inverted U-shaped fixing frame. The output end of the pneumatic telescopic rod passes through one end of the inverted U-shaped fixing frame and is fitted with a hot press head. A PLC controller is installed at one end of the inverted U-shaped fixing frame. By setting up placement slots and a work turntable, multiple stations can work simultaneously, avoiding the wasted time waiting for hot pressing to complete at a single station, thus greatly improving the efficiency of hot pressing. However, in actual use, the following shortcomings still exist: From a practical standpoint, after the hot press completes the hot pressing work, it is inconvenient to remove the formed workpiece from the processing slot, reducing the automation process of the equipment, extending processing time, and reducing production efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, a multi-station module hot pressing forming equipment is needed to solve the problem in the existing technology that it is inconvenient to remove the formed workpiece inside the processing tank, thus reducing production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the embodiments.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-3 This utility model provides a multi-station module hot pressing forming equipment, including a base 1, a support frame 2, a cylinder 3, a hot pressing head 4, a placement mechanism 5, a rotating mechanism 6, and an ejection mechanism 7. The support frame 2 is fixedly connected to the top of the base 1, the cylinder 3 is fixedly connected to the top of the support frame 2, the hot pressing head 4 is located below the cylinder 3, the placement mechanism 5 is located above the front side of the base 1, the rotating mechanism 6 is located below the placement mechanism 5, and the ejection mechanism 7 is located on one side of the rotating mechanism 6.

[0023] Further as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it is worth noting that the placement mechanism 5 consists of a rotating disk 501, a top plate 505, and a first spring 506. The top surface of the rotating disk 501 is symmetrically provided with six placement slots 502, the bottom surface of the placement slots 502 is provided with a storage slot 504, and a through slot 503 is provided below the storage slot 504.

[0024] Further as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, it is worth noting that the top plate 505 includes a circular plate and a connecting column. The connecting column is fixedly connected to the bottom of the circular plate and slidably connected to the inside of the through groove 503. The circular plate is slidably connected to the inside of the storage groove 504. The first spring 506 is fixedly connected between the top surface and the bottom surface of the storage groove 504 and is sleeved on the outside of the connecting column.

[0025] Further as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it is worth noting that the rotating mechanism 6 consists of a motor 601, a driving gear 602, a driven gear 603, a rotating shaft 604, and a support column 605. The motor 601 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the base 1. The driving gear 602 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 601. The driven gear 603 is located in front of the driving gear 602 and meshes with it. The rotating shaft 604 is fixedly connected to the interior of the driven gear 603. The top end of the rotating shaft 604 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the rotating disk 501.

[0026] Further as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it is worth noting that the support column 605 is symmetrically and fixedly connected to the bottom of the rotating disk 501, and the top surface of the base 1 is provided with a limiting groove 606 for the support column 605 to slide.

[0027] The support columns 605 around the bottom of the rotating disk 501 slide within the limiting groove 606 on the top surface of the base 1, providing stable support and limiting function to ensure the smooth rotation of the rotating disk 501.

[0028] As can be seen from the above working process: through the placement mechanism 5 and the rotation mechanism 6, six placement slots 502 are symmetrically opened on the rotating disk 501, which can place multiple workpieces at the same time. Then, the rotating mechanism 6 drives the rotating disk 501 to rotate, which can quickly achieve stable switching of work positions, so that the hot press head 4 can continuously perform hot pressing operations on workpieces at different work positions, which greatly improves production efficiency and reduces equipment idle time.

[0029] Further as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it is worth noting that the ejection mechanism 7 consists of a movable plate 702, a second spring 703, and a top column 704. The front side of the base 1 has an installation groove 701. The movable plate 702 is slidably connected to the inside of the installation groove 701. The top column 704 is fixedly connected to the top of the movable plate 702 and extends out of the top surface of the base 1.

[0030] Further as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, it is worth noting that the second spring 703 is fixedly connected between the bottom surface of the movable plate 702 and the mounting groove 701, the size of the top post 704 is adapted to the through groove 503, and the top surface of the top post 704 is provided with an arc-shaped surface.

[0031] By pressing the arc-shaped surface of the top post 704, it is drawn into the mounting groove 701. At the same time, under the elastic force of the first spring 506, the top plate 505 is reset, making it easier for the next workpiece to be placed into the placement groove 502.

[0032] The solution has the following working process: The operator places the workpiece to be hot-pressed into the placement slot 502 on the rotating disk 501 of the placement mechanism 5. At this time, under the action of the first spring 506, the circular plate of the top plate 505 is located in the receiving slot 504, ensuring that the bottom surface of the placement slot 502 remains horizontal and the workpiece is placed stably inside the placement slot 502; then the cylinder 3 above the support frame 2 is activated, and the cylinder 3 pushes the hot pressing head 4 downward to perform hot pressing on the workpiece placed in the placement slot 502.

[0033] After a workpiece is hot-pressed, the motor 601 inside the rear of the base 1 is started. The motor 601 drives the drive gear 602 to rotate. Since the drive gear 602 and the driven gear 603 mesh with each other, the drive gear 602 drives the driven gear 603 to rotate. The driven gear 603 drives the rotating disk 501 to rotate through the rotating shaft 604. The support columns 605 around the bottom of the rotating disk 501 slide in the limiting groove 606 on the top surface of the base 1, which plays a role in stabilizing support and limiting, ensuring that the rotating disk 501 rotates smoothly, and rotates the next workpiece to be hot-pressed to the bottom of the hot pressing head 4, realizing multi-station switching.

[0034] When the hot-pressed workpiece rotates to the right front 30 degrees position, the lower top post 704 moves upward under the range reset action of the second spring 703, so that the top post 704 extends into the interior of the through groove 503, thereby pushing the top plate 505 upward, driving the first spring 506 to stretch, and the top plate 505 moves upward to push out the workpiece inside the placement groove 502, making it easy to remove the formed workpiece.

[0035] After the part is picked up, the rotating disk 501 rotates again, pressing the arc-shaped surface of the top column 704 to make it retract into the mounting groove 701. At the same time, under the elastic force of the first spring 506, the top plate 505 is reset, making it easier to place the next workpiece into the placement groove 502.

[0036] In summary: Through the placement mechanism 5 and the rotating mechanism 6, six placement slots 502 are symmetrically opened on the rotating disk 501, which can hold multiple workpieces at the same time. The rotating mechanism 6 drives the rotating disk 501 to rotate, which can quickly and stably switch the work positions, allowing the hot pressing head 4 to continuously perform hot pressing operations on workpieces at different work positions, greatly improving production efficiency and reducing equipment downtime. Through the ejection mechanism 7, the moving plate 702 is pushed by the reset action of the second spring 703 to drive the top column 704 to move upward, which can push out the workpieces that have been hot pressed in the placement slots 502. The operation is simple and convenient, reducing the difficulty and time of manual removal of parts, and further improving production efficiency.
