Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a suction structure capable of sucking a printed circuit board material by vacuum regardless of thickness or rigidity. SOLUTION: When sucking and holding the board material W, in a thin board material W, since a suction face 9 is flat, there is a plurality of the suction faces, and a deformation resistance of a lip 13 is extremely small, the board material W is vertically sucked in a flush state. In a thick board material W, when there is a warp and even if there is a gap between the suction face 9 and the board material W, since a suction hole 14 periphery is surrounded by the vacuum leakage preventing lip 13 and the lip 13 closely contacts a surface of the board material W in an outer side of the gap, a lip 13 inner space is closed and vacuum suction functions of suction holes 14 act on the board material W. By this, a malfunction of deterioration in a suction function can be resolved, caused by an occurrence of a suction hole 14 incapable of exerting a suction function due to the gap between the board material W and the suction face 9.

In the above-mentioned exposure apparatus, the suction device provided in the rotary slide frame A and the suction devices provided in the substrate transfer devices D1 and D2 are mainly provided with suction holes E on which vacuum pressure acts. A plurality of vacuum suction pads (suckers) F made of an elastic material provided in FIG. 8 (FIG. 8), and a large number of suctions on which a suction pressure G acts on a suction surface G made of a flat surface of a hardly deformable material such as resin or aluminum. In some cases, the surface was attracted by a surface suction structure having holes H (FIG. 9). Here, the substrate transfer device D1 (D2) is illustrated. The vacuum suction pad method is generally suitable for holding a heavy printed board material W having a large board thickness because of its large suction force. However, the vacuum suction pad system has a small board thickness (1 mm or less) or a printed board having a small rigidity. There is a problem that the substrate material itself is deformed due to too large an attraction force to the plate material W. On the other hand, in the surface suction method, since the printed circuit board material W is suctioned so as to be in close contact with a hard and wide plane, even a thin printed board material can be suctioned without deformation. However, as shown in FIG. 10, in a substrate material W in which the generated warpage tends to remain, such as a thick printed circuit board material W, a gap is formed between the substrate material W and the suction hole H due to such warpage. There is a problem that the outside air flows in and the vacuum pressure of the vacuum source 17 does not work effectively, so that the suction cannot be performed. Therefore, hitherto, these suction methods have been properly used depending on the thickness of the printed circuit board material, and there has been a problem that the types of components to be managed increase.

In order to solve the above problems, in the suction structure of the present invention, the suction member is made of a material that is not easily deformable, such as a metal or a resin material, and the front surface of the suction member is a flat suction surface. The suction surface is provided with a number of suction holes communicating with a vacuum source, and a vacuum leakage prevention lip made of an elastic material is provided around the suction surface,
A plane including the outer peripheral edge of the lip is formed substantially flush with the suction surface. Specifically, the plane including the outer peripheral edge of the lip is located slightly forward so as to be regarded as substantially the same plane as the suction surface. More specifically, a fitting portion is formed on the outer periphery of the suction surface, and a lip member having a vacuum leakage prevention lip is fitted into the fitting portion. According to these configurations, even when a thin substrate material is sucked, the suction surface is a plane that is not easily deformed, and the plane including the outer peripheral surface of the lip is formed substantially in the same plane as the suction surface. As a result, the resistance to deform the lip is small, and the thin substrate material can be sucked to the suction surface consisting of the flat surface, so that no deformation occurs.
Also, even in the case of a printed circuit board material that has distortion and a gap is formed between the suction surface and the suction surface, the vacuum leakage prevention lip surrounding the outer periphery of the suction surface comes into contact with the surface of the printed circuit board material and the space inside the lip is reduced. The printed circuit board material can be strongly adsorbed because it is closed and the suction pressure effectively acts to perform the suction action. Further, when an external force acts in a direction to separate the printed circuit board material from the suction surface and the substrate material is pulled to be separated from the suction surface, the lip portion is deformed in a state where the lip portion is sucked to the substrate material by its own elasticity. Therefore, when the substrate material and the suction surface are in close contact with each other, the suction force, which is the product of the total area of the holes and the suction pressure, increases due to an increase in the suction pressure action area, and the suction force further increases. Therefore, even if an external force acts to separate the printed circuit board material from the suction surface,
The substrate material is not easily separated, and the substrate material can be maintained in an adsorbed state. The suction pad is preferably made of silicone rubber. According to this, for example, when the substrate material is vertically held in the suction state, the holding force is large and the vertical holding can be performed stably because the friction coefficient is large in addition to the suction force.

In such a substrate transfer device D2, when a vacuum suction action is applied to the suction holes 14 in contact with the substrate material W, the suction surface 9 is flat for a thin substrate material, and a plurality of suction surfaces 9 are provided. Further, since the lip 13 is substantially flush with the suction surface 9, the resistance to deform the lip 13 when suction is performed is extremely small. Therefore, even if the substrate material W is thin, it is vertical in the suction state. Adsorbed evenly and adsorbed without distortion. In the case where the thick substrate material W is warped, since the suction hole 14 is surrounded by the vacuum leakage prevention lip 13, as shown in FIG. Even if there is a gap between them, the lip 13 is in close contact with the surface of the substrate material W outside thereof, so that the space inside the lip 13 is closed and the vacuum suction action by the suction hole 14 acts on the substrate material W. Therefore, in the related art, as described with reference to FIG. 10, as described with reference to FIG. 10, a gap is formed between the substrate material W and the suction surface 9, so that the suction hole 14 that cannot perform the suction function is generated and the suction function is reduced. The defect is eliminated.

In the suction state, the surface of the substrate material W and the lip 13 are in close contact with each other, and since the lip 13 is made of silicone rubber, the coefficient of friction is large.
The substrate material W can be more stably and vertically sucked, and an accident such as the removal of the suction and the falling of the substrate material W can be prevented. The substrate transfer device D2 receives the substrate material W from the substrate transfer device D1, and transfers the substrate material W to the substrate material holding device B2.
In order to transfer the substrate material, the substrate material W is moved back and forth while being held vertically, but when the substrate material W that has been suction-held is separated from the suction surface 9 due to vibration or the like due to such movement (in short, the substrate material W When an external force is applied to separate W from suction surface 9), lip 13 can be continuously elastically deformed by suction to maintain the state of contact with substrate material W, so that substrate material W separates from suction surface 9. The working area on which the suction pressure acts is widened (FIG. 4), and the suction force is reduced by the suction hole 1.
4 becomes larger than when the substrate material W is in close contact with the substrate material W, the substrate material W is pulled back to the suction surface 9, and the substrate material W is securely held by the substrate transfer device D2.

As described above, according to the structure for adsorbing a printed circuit board material of the present invention, even when a thin substrate material is adsorbed, the suction surface is flat and the vacuum leakage prevention lip has the suction surface. Since the amount of deformation is substantially the same as the plane and the amount of deformation is extremely small, the thin substrate material can be sucked flush with the suction surface formed of the flat surface, and no deformation occurs. Also, even in the case of a printed circuit board material that has distortion and a gap is formed between the suction surface and the suction surface, the vacuum leakage prevention lip surrounding the outer periphery of the suction surface comes into contact with the surface of the printed circuit board material and the space inside the lip is reduced. The printed circuit board material can be strongly adsorbed because it is closed and the suction pressure effectively acts to perform the suction action.

In the present invention, when an external force acts in the direction of separating the printed circuit board material from the suction surface and the substrate material is pulled away from the suction surface, the lip portion is attracted to the substrate material by its own elasticity. When the substrate material and the suction surface are in close contact with each other, the suction force, which was the product of the total area of the holes and the suction pressure, increases due to the increase in the suction pressure action area, and the suction force increases. Become. Therefore, even if an external force is applied to separate the printed circuit board material W from the suction surface, the printed circuit board material W is not easily separated, and the board material can be maintained in the suction state.
