Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of solder ball welding, and in particular to a laser solder ball welding machine. Background Art

[0002] At present, soldering is very popular in industrial production. With the development of technology and the rapid increase in labor costs, automatic soldering equipment for solder balls has replaced the traditional manually operated soldering method of electric soldering irons and become the main direction of soldering technology development. Laser solder ball welding uses a high-energy-density laser beam as a heat source to irradiate the solder ball located in the soldering nozzle in the tin tray, so that the solder ball melts quickly, and then removes the laser irradiation to solidify the melted solder ball, thereby completing the welding. In order to melt the solder ball, the laser beam needs to be directly above the solder ball. If there is a deviation between the laser beam and the solder ball, the laser beam does not hit the solder ball, and the solder ball cannot be melted, resulting in failure to weld. In existing laser solder ball welding equipment, the fine-tuning screw of the XY sliding platform is generally manually adjusted to adjust the position of the laser emitter so that the laser beam emitted by the laser emitter is aligned with the solder ball, thereby melting the solder ball. However, this method has the following problems: First, the manual fine-tuning has low centering adjustment accuracy, troublesome operation, and high labor costs; Second, there is a situation where the solder ball does not fall into the welding channel effectively but is taken away by the disc, and the ball remains in the ball distribution hole of the disc, causing the solder ball to rub against the substrate and the bottom plate. The friction increases the torque and even jams the disc, causing the disc to be unable to continue to rotate. The worn solder ball will produce solder slag, causing pollution, and even the incomplete solder ball will be sent to the working ball position for welding again, resulting in defective welding products and affecting production efficiency.

[0036] See also Figures 4 to 8The welding disk assembly 32 includes a lower substrate 322, a ball-dividing disc 323, an upper substrate 324 and a rotation driving mechanism 325. The lower substrate 322, the ball-dividing disc 323 and the upper substrate 324 are stacked in sequence from bottom to top. Specifically, a gasket 327 and a sealing ring 329 are provided between the lower substrate 322 and the upper substrate 324. The gasket 327 is arranged around the ball-dividing disc 323, and the sealing ring 329 is arranged around the gasket 327, but not limited to this; the laser channel 321 runs through the lower substrate 322 and the upper substrate 324, and the welding nozzle 33 is installed at the bottom of the lower substrate 322; the lower substrate 3 22 is provided with a material dropping channel 322a and a slag discharge notch 322b, one end of the material dropping channel 322a forms a material dropping notch 322a1 on the upper surface of the lower substrate 322, and the other end of the material dropping channel 322a is connected to the laser channel 321, and the slag discharge notch 322b is located on the upper surface of the lower substrate 322; the ball dividing disc 323 is provided with a plurality of ball dividing holes 323a along the circumferential direction; the upper substrate 324 is provided with a material feeding channel 324a, and the material feeding channel 324a forms a material feeding outlet 324a1 on the lower surface of the upper substrate 324, and the material dropping notch 322a1, the slag discharge notch 322b and The feed outlets 324a1 are respectively opposite to the circumference of the ball-distributing holes 323a. The feed channel 324a forms a feed outlet 324a1 on the lower surface of the upper substrate 324. The feed channel 324a forms a feed inlet on the upper surface of the upper substrate 324. The solder balls can enter the feed channel 324a from the feed inlet and fall out from the feed outlet 324a1, but this is not limited to the feed inlet. The feed inlet can also be formed on the side wall of the upper substrate 324. The output end of the rotating drive mechanism 325 passes through the upper substrate 324 and is connected to the ball-distributing disc 323. The rotating drive mechanism 325 can drive the ball-distributing disc 323 to rotate. The disc 323 rotates, so that the solder balls falling out of the feed outlet 324a1 fall into the material drop port 322a1 through the ball separation hole 323a of the ball separation disc 323, and then enter the laser channel 321 through the material drop channel 322a and fall into the welding channel 331 of the welding nozzle. When the solder balls fail to effectively fall into the material drop port 322a1 and are taken away by the ball separation disc 323, the rotating drive mechanism 325 continues to drive the ball separation disc 323 to rotate, so that the solder balls in the ball separation hole 323a that do not fall into the material drop port 322a1 fall into the slag discharge slot 322b, thereby automatically cleaning the residual solder balls.

Specifically, the other end of the slag discharge channel 322c forms a slag discharge outlet on the side wall of the lower substrate 322, so that the solder balls located in the slag discharge channel 322c can be discharged from the slag discharge outlet. More specifically, the slag discharge notch 322b is an arc-shaped groove, which is also directly opposite to the circumference of the ball-dividing hole 323a, fully ensuring that the solder balls in the ball-dividing hole 323a that have not fallen into the drop-out port 322a1 can all fall into the slag discharge notch 322b, and fall from the slag discharge notch 322b into the slag discharge channel 322c. However, this is not limited to the above. For example, the lower substrate 322 may only be provided with a slag discharge groove 322b, the depth of which is greater than the diameter of the solder ball to ensure that the solder ball does not rub against the upper substrate 324 and the lower substrate 322. The residual solder ball is stored through the slag discharge groove 322b. The shape of the slag discharge groove 322b may be a long groove shape to facilitate the storage of more solder balls.

[0038] See also Figures 3 to 5 The welding plate assembly 32 further includes a feed pipe 326 and a pressurized gas supply mechanism 328. The feed pipe 326 is mounted on the upper substrate 324 and communicated with a feed inlet. The feed pipe 326 is used to store solder balls and feed the feed inlet. The solder balls in the feed pipe 326 can enter the feed channel 324a through the feed inlet, and then fall from the feed channel 324a through the feed outlet 324a1 into the ball-dividing hole 323a of the ball-dividing disc 323, thereby realizing ball supply. The pressurized gas supply mechanism 328 is connected to the lower substrate 322 and is used to provide pressurized gas to the laser channel 321 and the welding channel 331. The solder balls have a certain blocking effect on the outlet of the welding channel 331, causing the air pressure in the laser channel 321 and the welding channel 331 to increase, and the air pressure detection mechanism that detects the increase in air pressure triggers the laser emitter 36, so that the laser emitter 36 emits a laser, and the solder balls are hit by the laser and quickly liquefied, and the molten tin liquid separates from the outlet of the welding channel 331 and directly comes to the welding part of the product abutting it, thereby realizing welding. In this embodiment, the pressurized gas is nitrogen, but it is not limited to this.

According to the calculation result of the industrial computer, the second piezoelectric ceramic 382 is energized through the second power supply component 381, so that the second piezoelectric ceramic 382 pushes the second amplifier 383, and the second amplifier 383 rotates to release the second sliding member 372. The second sliding member 372 slides along the second seat body 371 under the action of the reset force, and drives the first sliding mechanism 34 to slide; the first piezoelectric ceramic 352 is energized through the first power supply component 351, so that the first piezoelectric ceramic 352 pushes the first amplifier 353 to rotate, and the first amplifier 353 releases the first sliding member 342. The first sliding member 342 slides along the first seat body 341 under the action of the reset force, and drives the laser emitter 36. The laser emitter 36 is slidable and slides, thereby fine-tuning the position of the laser emitter 36, thereby completing the automatic centering adjustment; the welding disk assembly 32 and the welding nozzle 33 of the laser welding mechanism 3 are adjusted, and the laser channel 321 and the welding channel 331 are cleaned by nitrogen, and the solder balls discharged from the welding nozzle 33 can fall into the solder ball collection box 7; the solder balls are fed to the feed pipe 326, and the products to be welded are placed on the product placement table 5, and the second visual system 6 is driven by the moving mechanism 2 to move to the position corresponding to the product placement table 5 first, so that the second visual system 6 takes a picture of the product on the product placement table 5 to obtain the position information of the welding position of the product, and the welding nozzle 33 is photographed by the first visual system 4 to obtain the position information of the welding nozzle 33. The moving mechanism 2 then drives the laser welding mechanism 3 to move according to the position information of the welding position and the position information of the welding nozzle 33, so that the welding nozzle 33 moves to the corresponding position and welds the product.

[0043] In summary, the laser welding mechanism 3 of the laser solder ball welding machine 100 of the present invention is provided with a first visual system 4, a first sliding mechanism 34 and a first PZT driving mechanism 35. The first visual system 4 is used to observe and analyze the spot of the laser emitted by the laser emitter 36 and the center position of the welding nozzle 33. According to the analysis result, the first power supply component 351 is used to energize the first piezoelectric ceramic 352, so that the first piezoelectric ceramic 352 converts the electrical signal into mechanical displacement and drives the first sliding mechanism 34 to slide, so that the first sliding mechanism 34 drives the laser emitter 36 to slide together, and then the position of the laser beam emitted by the laser emitter 36 is fine-tuned, so that the laser beam and the welding nozzle 33 are accurately aligned, and the laser alignment is automatically adjusted to ensure that the laser beam can be shot onto the solder ball and melt the solder ball; the laser solder ball welding machine 100 of the present invention can drive the laser welding mechanism 3 to move through the moving mechanism 2, so that the welding nozzle 33 of the laser welding mechanism 3 moves to the position corresponding to the product to be welded, so as to realize automatic welding of the product with high welding quality.
