Solution Overview

Problem

During the manufacturing of printed circuit boards (PCBs), prepreg sheets often accidentally fall or overflow onto core plates, leading to product scrap, and the use of high-temperature resistant adhesive tapes results in residual glue that affects the quality of the product.

Innovation Solution

A composite anti-glue film assembly is used, comprising a polyimide first anti-glue film layer, a second anti-glue film layer, and a bonding layer, which is laminated and bonded to prevent the prepreg sheet from falling or overflowing while avoiding glue residue on the core plates.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Reliability

If adhesive tape is used to prevent prepreg sheet from falling to preset position, then the prepreg sheet overflow is prevented, but residual glue remains on the core plate affecting product quality

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprepreg sheet positioning reliabilityVSAvoidresidual glue on core plate
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSObject-generated harmful factors

Solution Approach 1:

The adhesive layer is extracted and removed from the preset position before the prepreg sheet is placed. This allows the preset position to be clear and free of adhesive residue, preventing the harmful effect of residual glue while maintaining the protective function of the preset position

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

Solution Approach 2:

A disposable protective film is placed on the preset position instead of adhesive tape. This film serves its protective function during the manufacturing process and is then removed, leaving no residual glue on the core plate, thus solving the quality issue while maintaining positioning reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

2Reliability

If adhesive tape is arranged at preset position to cover and prevent prepreg sheet falling, then product defect is reduced, but manufacturing complexity increases due to additional steps

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprepreg sheet positioning reliabilityVSAvoidmanufacturing process complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

A disposable protective film is used instead of adhesive tape. The film is simply placed on the preset position and removed after use, eliminating the need for complex adhesive removal processes and reducing manufacturing complexity while maintaining positioning reliability

Inventive Principle:
Principle #27Cheap short-living objects (Disposable)

Solution Approach 2:

The protective film is discarded after serving its protective function during the manufacturing process. This simple discard approach eliminates the need for complex adhesive removal steps, reducing manufacturing complexity while ensuring the preset position is clean for the next process step

Inventive Principle:
Principle #34Discarding and recovering
