Description

Sheet material cuts tool
Technical field
The utility model relates to a kind of device that cuts circuit board, relates in particular to a kind of sheet material that cuts the position of waiting in order to the cutting printed circuit plate and cuts tool.
Background technology
Each printed circuit board is in the manufacturing process of printed circuit board (PCB) factory, all around its sheet material, be reserved with the position to be cut of certain width with its center, and wait to cut the circuit that is printed with in the position more than at least two at it, check the circuit of its printed circuit board (PCB) of contrast whether to meet the specification that its client leaves for the QC of client, treat that its check important item meets the requirements of the customers, then client begins charging and is producing online carry out the part plug-in unit of circuit board, tin stove, test and last associated components assembling finished product shipment excessively.General printed circuit board (PCB) is after crossing the tin stove, and except that the artificial plug-in unit of still needing, an other job promptly is the position to be cut of removing printed circuit board (PCB).
Common waits that cutting position removal means has following several, the one, produce a dark chimeric elongated slot of fixedly waiting to cut the position at the Working table desktop of production line, then the position to be cut with printed circuit board (PCB) is positioned in the chimeric elongated slot, in the face of also pulling forward or backward the both sides of printed circuit board (PCB) both hands gripping simultaneously printed circuit board (PCB), to remove the position to be cut of printed circuit board (PCB).The 2nd, utilize easy hand-held T type flap tool, at first printed circuit board (PCB) is fixed in the tool, for example shown in the TaiWan, China patent announcement M288485, and the position to be cut of exposing printed circuit board (PCB), then hold the handle of T type flap tool by producers, with the position to be cut of the parallel embedding printed circuit board (PCB) of embeded slot of T type flap tool, printed circuit board (PCB) waited that cutting the position removes by its wrist power.The 3rd, utilize the vapour-pressure type cutting mechanics, for example shown in the product type HS-JAW250 of He Shuo Science and Technology Co., Ltd., with the cutting line alignment cutter of waiting to cut the position of its printed circuit board (PCB), the bottom tool closure waits to cut the position removal with printed circuit board (PCB) in utilizations.
Above-mentioned having now in order to remove circuit board waits to cut the means at position, can only single treatment on one side position to be cut, because the periphery of general circuit plate has a plurality of when waiting to cut the position, need repeat to change the position that cuts of circuit board, utilize tool or cutter to go to single treatment position to be cut on one side again, so just can spend more operation and time cost.
Sometimes every batch of printed circuit board (PCB) waits to cut not necessarily regular rectangular shape of position, when printed circuit board (PCB) is rendered as when irregularly shaped, production line then need be changed different tools with fixing circuit board according to the circuit board of different lot numbers, and more artificial and time cost need be spent in its position to be cut of the erose circuit board of this class.In case a large amount of processing is removed when waiting to cut the position, will need to spend more artificial treatment and time, causes the raising of production cost, this is not that manufacturer is ready to find pleasure in to see.
In prior art, about removing the technological means of waiting to cut the position of printed circuit board (PCB), can only take single treatment printed circuit board (PCB) position to be cut on one side, it is complicated to cause cutting formality, and in response to cutting erose printed circuit board (PCB), must additional designs cut and fixed jig the problem that so will cause manufacturing cost to increase corresponding to difform circuit board.
