Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of equipment for manufacturing printed circuits, and more specifically to an automated welding apparatus for metal casings based on SMT printing. Background Technology
[0002] Miniaturization refers to the process of designing and manufacturing smaller, more compact electronic devices. The miniaturization of electronic devices is driven by several factors, including the demand for portable devices and the need for more functionality in smaller devices.
[0003] Surface Mount Technology (SMT) is one of the core technologies supporting the miniaturization of electronic devices. SMT comprises two key steps: printing and placement. SMT printing refers to the process of printing solder paste onto a printed circuit board using a stencil. Solder paste is a viscous substance containing solder particles that melts when heated to form a strong electrical connection. SMT placement is the process of placing surface mount components onto the printed circuit board containing the solder paste.
[0004] After SMT printing and SMT placement are completed, surface mount components need to be soldered onto the printed circuit board. The accuracy of the SMT printing process directly affects the quality of SMT placement and soldering.
[0005] The existing soldering method involves feeding a printed circuit board (PCB) with surface mount components (SRP) onto it into a reflow oven. The solder particles in the solder paste melt and wet the SRP leads and PCB pads. After cooling and solidification, a strong electrical connection is formed between the SRP leads and the PCB pads. However, when applying the solder paste, the PCB is manually held in place by a stencil, and a hand scraper pushes the solder paste into openings in the stencil. This results in low soldering precision, affecting the quality of the final product and reducing efficiency.
[0006] Therefore, existing welding methods suffer from low welding precision and low efficiency. Summary of the Invention

The transfer fork 502 has a U-shaped structure, including two vertical ends and one horizontal end. The lower vertical end of the transfer fork 502 is composed of two parallel strip plates. The top of both the assembly platform 2 and the placement platform 301 are provided with sliding grooves for each strip plate to slide along the length of the assembly platform 2 or the placement platform 301. The upper vertical end of the transfer fork 502 is provided with a clamping member 8 for clamping the iron shell parts. The clamping member 8 includes a second plate 801 that can be raised and lowered. A fourth telescopic member for driving the second plate 801 to be raised and lowered is fixedly installed on the upper vertical end of the transfer fork 502.

[0066] The working principle of this invention is as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5As shown, the assembly bakelite base 1011 is first placed on the assembly table 2, and then the magnetic aluminum plate carrier 1012 is placed on the assembly bakelite base 1011. The magnetic aluminum plate carrier 1012 has slots 10122 for positioning the iron shell parts, so that the positioning pins on the assembly bakelite base 1011 are inserted into the positioning pin holes 10121 of the magnetic aluminum plate carrier 1012. The diameter of the positioning pins 10111 is 4.1mm. The FPC 1013 is then placed on the magnetic aluminum plate carrier 1012 to obtain the initial assembly.
[0067] The fourth motor starts, driving the third lead screw to rotate, causing the third lead screw nut to move closer to the assembly table 2, which in turn drives the transfer fork 502 to move closer to the assembly table 2. The strip plates of the transfer fork 502 are inserted into the two slides of the assembly table 2 respectively. The telescopic end of the third telescopic component 504 extends, driving the third motor 503 to rise, thereby driving the first plate 501 to rise, and then driving the transfer fork 502 to rise. The two strip plates of the transfer fork 502 will carry the initial assembly components to rise. The fourth motor reverses, driving the transfer fork 502 to move away from the assembly table 2. After the transfer fork 502 returns to its initial position, the third motor 503 rotates, driving the transfer fork 502 to rotate 90° so that the opening of the transfer fork 502 faces the placement table 301. The third motor 503 stops rotating, and the fourth motor starts, driving the third lead screw to rotate, causing the transfer fork 502 to move closer to the placement table 301. After the transfer fork 502 has completely reached the top of the placement table 301, the telescopic end of the third telescopic component 504 shortens, thereby driving the transfer fork 502 to descend. The strip plates of the transfer fork 502 are inserted into the two sliding grooves of the placement table 301 until the bottom of the initial assembly contacts the top of the placement table 301. The fourth motor reverses, driving the transfer fork 502 away from the placement table 301 and back to its initial position.
[0068] The telescopic end of the first telescopic component extends, causing the mounting plate 401 to move downwards. The bottoms of the four limiting blocks 4013 will first contact the top of the placement platform 301, confining the assembly within the four limiting blocks 4013 to prevent displacement of the assembly during solder paste application. Under the constraint of the placement platform 301, the limiting blocks 4013 no longer move downwards, but the mounting plate 401 will still move downwards, causing the connecting column 4011 to slide downwards within each limiting block. The first return spring 4014 is compressed. After the bottom of the template 404 contacts the top of the assembly, the telescopic end of the first telescopic component stops at this position. The telescopic end of the second telescopic component extends, causing the scraper 403 to move downwards until it reaches the appropriate position, at which point the telescopic end of the second telescopic component stops at this length. Gas is introduced into the solder paste container through the gas pipe, forcing the solder paste into the delivery pipe and finally spraying it out from the nozzle of the multi-nozzle nozzle. The second motor drives the second lead screw to rotate, causing the second lead screw nut to slide on the second lead screw, which in turn causes the first slider to slide backward. This causes the scraper 403 to slide backward on the top of the template 404, pressing the solder paste through the opening 4041 on the template 404 onto the assembly, forming a solder paste pattern consistent with the shape of the opening 4041. The telescopic end of the second telescopic component shortens, causing the scraper 403 to rise and return to its initial position. The second motor reverses, causing the first slider to slide forward and return to its initial position. At the same time, the telescopic end of the first telescopic component shortens, causing the mounting plate 401 to move downward, causing each connecting post 4011 to slide upward in each limiting block 4013. The first return spring 4014 gradually returns to its natural extension state and causes the limiting blocks 4013 to slide upward until the mounting plate 401 returns to its initial position.
[0069] The fourth motor rotates, causing the transfer fork 502 to approach the placement platform 301. The strip plates of the transfer fork 502 are inserted into the two slots of the placement platform 301. Then, the telescopic end of the third telescopic component 504 extends, causing the transfer fork 502 to rise, so that the pre-assembled part with solder paste is raised with the transfer fork 502. The fourth motor reverses, and the transfer fork 502 moves away from the placement platform 301 and returns to the initial position. The third motor 503 rotates, causing the transfer fork 502 to rotate 90°, with the opening facing the assembly platform 2. The transfer fork 502 first approaches the assembly platform 2 and then descends. After the bottom of the pre-assembled part with solder paste touches the top of the assembly platform 2, the transfer fork 502 moves away from the assembly platform until it returns to the initial position.
[0070] The telescopic end of the sixth telescopic component 704 extends, causing the long plate 703 to descend. The seventh motor 605 starts, causing the L-shaped plate 603 to rotate, so that the openings of the clamping plate 604 and the short end of the L-shaped plate 603 face the iron shell placement platform 702. The telescopic end of the seventh telescopic component 607 extends, reducing the distance between the clamping plate 604 and the short end of the L-shaped plate 603, so that the iron shell 104 is clamped. After clamping member 6 clamps the iron shell 104, the telescopic end of the sixth telescopic member 704 rises, causing the long plate 703 to rise. The seventh motor 605 drives the L-shaped plate 603 to rotate so that the openings of the clamping plate 604 and the short end of the L-shaped plate 603 face the vertical end of the L-shaped frame 701. The second slider 601 slides on the long plate 703 towards the vertical end of the L-shaped frame 701. The iron shell 104 clamped by clamping member 6 comes into contact with the cleaning member 9. The eighth telescopic member 902 continuously extends and shortens, causing the wiping block 901 to wipe the iron shell 104. The telescopic end of the sixth telescopic component 704 rises, causing the long plate 703 to continue rising. The sixth motor starts, driving the fifth lead screw to rotate, causing the fifth lead screw nut to move towards the assembly table 2, thereby causing the clamping component 6 to move towards the assembly table 2. After moving above the mounting hole 10131, the telescopic end of the sixth telescopic component 704 extends, causing the long plate 703 to descend. The sixth motor drives the fifth lead screw to rotate, causing the clamping component 6 to move towards the connection point until the iron shell 104 is installed on the connection point. The telescopic end of the seventh telescopic component 607 shortens, increasing the distance between the clamping plate 604 and the short end of the L-shaped plate 603, no longer clamping the iron shell 104. The seventh motor 605 causes the openings of the clamping plate 604 and the short end of the L-shaped plate 603 to face the iron shell placement table 702. The telescopic end of the sixth telescopic component 704 rises, driving the long plate 703 to rise, and the clamping component 6 returns to its initial position.
[0071] Repeat the above process until all eight metal shell parts 104 are installed on FPC1013 to obtain the assembly. Move the transfer fork 502 close to the assembly table 2, extend the telescopic end of the fourth telescopic part, causing the second plate 801 to descend, and each pressing plate 804 to descend and enter the mounting holes 10131. Extend the telescopic end of the fifth telescopic part 803, causing the two irregular plates 802 to move towards each other, and each pressing plate 804 presses the metal shell parts onto FPC1013. Subsequently, the transfer fork 502 rises, causing the assembly to rise. Then, the transfer fork 502 moves away from the assembly table 2 and returns to its initial position. The transfer fork 502 rotates 90° toward the placement table 301 and moves closer to the placement table 301. The transfer fork 502 descends, and after the bottom of the assembly contacts the top of the placement table 301, the telescopic end of the fifth telescopic component 803 shortens, causing the two irregular plates 802 to move in opposite directions. Each pressing plate 804 moves away from the iron shell 104. The telescopic end of the fourth telescopic component shortens, causing the second flat plate 801 to rise. The transfer fork 502 moves away from the placement table 301 and returns to its initial position, rotating 90° toward the assembly table 2.
[0072] The assembly is placed on the placement platform 301. The first motor starts, driving the first lead screw to rotate. The first lead screw nut slides on the first lead screw, causing the placement platform 301 to slide forward. After entering the welding position in the furnace 303, the first motor stops rotating, and the placement platform 301 stays in the welding position. The furnace door is closed, and the temperature of the furnace 303 rises to heat and weld the assembly. The peak temperature is 255℃, and the reflow time is 60~70s. After welding is completed, the furnace door is opened, and the first motor starts, driving the first lead screw to rotate in the opposite direction, so that the placement platform 301 returns to the processing position and stays in this position.
[0073] It should be noted that the present invention is not limited to the specific structure shown in the accompanying drawings in the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art.
