Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of SMT, and in particular to an intelligent solder paste storage cabinet. Background Art

[0002] Surface mount technology (SMT) is the most commonly used process technology in the current electronic packaging industry. The solder paste used in the process needs to be refrigerated during storage and needs to be warmed up before use. The general storage temperature of solder paste is about 5 degrees Celsius. Before use, it must be taken out of the refrigerator and then warmed up at room temperature for 3-4 hours to allow the solder paste to return to room temperature before use. Before use, the solder paste needs to be stirred with a solder paste mixer to evenly mix the tin powder and flux before it can be sent to the production line for use.

[0003] If the solder paste is opened before the temperature is fully recovered, moisture can easily enter the solder paste, which can easily cause solder explosion and produce solder beads when passing through the furnace, affecting the process quality. Therefore, the control of solder paste temperature recovery is a very important part of SMT process quality.

[0004] In order to standardize the management of solder paste, the prior art has invented some solder paste management cabinets, such as application number 201811575361.3, which discloses a multifunctional automatic storage and dispensing machine for solder paste, which stores the solder paste in the cabinet, grabs it through a material grabbing device, and uses a very complex multiple x, y, and z three-axis transport mechanism that is combined with each other to realize the storage and dispensing of the solder paste. The structure is very complex and has many parts. As we all know, the more spare parts there are, the more complex the structure is, the more likely it is to fail during operation, and the higher the maintenance cost in the later stage. In addition, in order to grab the specified solder paste, the entire solder paste storage shelf needs to be rotated, and the solder paste itself is heavy, with a single can of 200g and 100 cans weighing 20kg. Rotating such a heavy device consumes a lot of energy. Summary of the invention
