In general, during the FPCB manufacturing process, a plurality of FPCBs are stacked and transported after surface treatment and drilling are performed, and interlayer sheets are inserted between the stacked FPCBs to prevent breakage or surface damage due to contact between the FPCBs. Let's do it.

In addition, the operator separates the interleaved sheets inserted between the manually stacked FPCBs during the inter-process transfer of the FPCB, and then proceeds with the subsequent process.

However, in the method of removing the slip sheets due to the manual labor of the worker, the work time is delayed and the workability is deteriorated, as well as the damage to the FPCB itself during the separation by manual labor frequently occurs.

On the other hand, in order to overcome this problem, a method of separating the interlayer paper from the stacked FPCB by using a vacuum adsorber has emerged, but when the FPCB is adsorbed by the vacuum adsorber, the interlayer paper is adsorbed at the same time, so that the separation is not easy. .

Hereinafter, a method for removing a slip sheet of an FPCB according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described.

First, the case 10 is pushed in the lateral direction by the support bar 310 so as to contact the case 110 transferred by the loader 20 (see FIGS. 1 and 2).

At this time, inside the case 10, a plurality of FPCBs 1 and interleaved sheets 2 inserted between the plurality of FPCBs are stacked, and one side of the case 10 is hooked by a support bar 310. The case 10 is moved to be in contact with 110.

Next, one end of the case 10 is raised to a predetermined height by the hook 110.

A plurality of FPCBs 1 and slippers 2 are loaded inside the case 10 moved laterally to contact the hook 110 by the support bar 310, but the alignment is not made. to be.

Therefore, due to the rotation of the hook 110 by the operation of the hook cylinder 140, a plurality of FPCB (1) and the slip sheet (2) loaded inside the case 10 is moved to the other side of the case 10 (See FIG. 3).

Next, the plurality of FPCB (1) and the slipper (2) accommodated in the case 10 is aligned so as to be in close contact with the other side inside the case (10).

Even if one side of the case 10 is lifted by the hook 110, the alignment is not completely made due to the load of the plurality of FPCBs 1 and the interleaver 2 loaded on the case 10.

Therefore, by moving the alignment plate 210 connected to the hook 110, hitting one side of the case 10 about 3 to 5 times, a plurality of FPCB (1) that is not aligned in the case 10 ) And the slip sheet 2 are closely aligned with the other side inside the case 10 (see FIGS. 4 and 5).

On the other hand, the operation of the hook 110 and the alignment plate 210 is made by the hook cylinder 140 and the alignment cylinder 220, respectively, the hook cylinder 140 and the alignment cylinder as an example of the present invention. 220 may be disclosed by pneumatic pressure, but is not necessarily limited thereto.

In addition, the operation of the hook cylinder 140 and the alignment cylinder 220 is controlled by the control unit, it is to be activated by the controller by detecting the case 10 has reached a predetermined position by the sensor.

Specifically, the operation of the hook 110 is to rotate the rotating rod 130 according to the operation of the hook cylinder 140, the hook 110 is connected to the rotating rod is rotated to injure one side of the case 10 will be.

Next, in order to prevent the suckers from being sucked up when the plurality of FPCBs 1 are adsorbed, the slippers are fixed.

In general, since the vacuum pressure of the substrate vacuum adsorber for adsorbing the substrate is larger than the vacuum pressure of the vacuum cleaner for adsorbing the selvage, it may cause a problem in that the sebum is sucked up at the same time when the substrate is adsorbed.

Accordingly, in the method of removing the slip sheets of the FPCB according to one embodiment of the present invention, the adsorption time of the substrate is also prevented from being absorbed at the same time by using the slip fixing unit 400.

Specifically, the push rod 420 is lowered by the operation of the push cylinder 410 to fix the slip sheet 2 loaded in the case 10 (see FIG. 7).

And, the position where the push bar 420 is lowered is adjusted to the mobile unit (500).

The mobile unit 500 and the intermittent fixing unit 400 are connected by a plate 510, and the plate 510 is moved laterally by the first cylinder 520, and the second cylinder 530. It moves up and down by (refer FIG. 6).

On the other hand, such a mobile unit 500 and the interlocking fixing unit 400 may be controlled by the second control unit, specifically, the case 10 in which one side is injured by the hook 110 is returned to its original state and the substrate At the same time as or before the adsorption of the FPCB 1 by the vacuum adsorber, the operation of the mobile unit 500 and the interlocking fixing unit 400 is started.

On the other hand, the second control unit controls the operation of the first cylinder 520 and the second cylinder 530, the operation of the cylinders (520, 530) as described above may be made by pneumatic.

Finally, the FPCB 1 is adsorbed by the substrate vacuum adsorber to separate the substrate, and the selvage 2 is separated by adsorbing the interleaver 2 with the interlayer vacuum adsorber.

On the other hand, during the adsorption of the interleaver 2 with the interleaver vacuum adsorber, the interlocking fixing unit 400 must rise back to its original position.

As described above, the FPCB according to the present invention, the sebum removal device and the sebum removal method provide the following effects.

First, there is an advantage that can effectively separate the interleaf inserted between the FPCB laminated in the case, the operator does not need to align the FPCB manually.

Second, it is possible to automatically remove the separator from the case on which the board is loaded, which has the advantage of reducing the labor.

As mentioned above, although this invention was demonstrated by the limited embodiment and drawing, this invention is not limited by this, The person of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention belongs, Various modifications and variations are possible without departing from the scope of the appended claims.
