[0054] The technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0055] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a printed circuit board stacking method, including the following steps:

[0056] Step S11: Provide a lower substrate 100 and print a first solder paste 410 on the lower substrate 100.

[0057] Please see Figure 2 (A) The lower substrate 100 has a lower first surface 110 and a lower second surface 120. A first pad (not shown) and a second pad (not shown) are pre-formed on the lower first surface 110 of the lower substrate 100. The first pad is used to connect the surface mount device 500 (see Figure 120). Figure 2 (B)), the second pad is used to connect the adapter board 200 (see reference). Figure 2 (C)). The first solder paste 410 is printed on the first pad and the second pad on the lower first surface 110.

[0058] It is understood that in some other embodiments, the lower second surface 120 may also be pre-set with the first pad, and the first solder paste 410 is also printed on the first pad on the lower second surface 120.

[0059] It is understood that, in this embodiment, the second pad (i.e., the location where the adapter board 200 is connected) is not limited to being located on the lower first surface 110 or the lower second surface 120. For example, the second pad may be disposed on the lower second surface 120.

[0060] In this embodiment, the first solder paste 410 can be printed on the lower substrate 100 using a solder paste printer (not shown).

[0061] Step S12: Place the patch element 500 on the lower substrate 100.

[0062] Please see Figure 2 (B) The patch element 500 is placed on the first pad (not shown) on the surface of the lower substrate 100 (e.g., on the lower first surface 110 shown in the figure).

[0063] It is understood that in some other embodiments, the surface mount element 500 only needs to be placed on the first pad on the lower second surface 120. In other embodiments, the surface mount element 500 needs to be placed on both the first pad on the lower first surface 110 and the first pad on the lower second surface 120.

[0064] In this embodiment, the patch element 500 can be placed on the lower substrate 100 by a pick-and-place machine (not shown).

[0065] Step S13: Provide an adapter plate 200 and place the adapter plate 200 on the lower substrate 100.

[0066] Please see Figure 2 (C) The adapter board 200 has a first surface 210 and a second surface 220. The first surface 210 and the second surface 220 are each pre-determined with a second pad (not shown). The second pad on the first surface 210 corresponds to the second pad on the lower first surface 110.

[0067] When the adapter board 200 is placed on the corresponding position on the lower substrate 100, the second pad on the first surface 210 of the adapter board will directly contact the first solder paste 410 on the first surface 110 of the lower substrate, thereby connecting the adapter board 200 and the lower substrate 100 together through the first solder paste 410.

[0068] In this embodiment, the adapter plate 200 can be placed on the lower substrate 100 by a pick-and-place machine (not shown).

[0069] It is understood that the pick-and-place machine used in steps S12 and S13 can be the same pick-and-place machine or different pick-and-place machines. For example, in step S12, a pick-and-place machine specifically designed for mounting smaller components (such as some resistors, capacitors, inductors, etc.) can be used. In step S13, a pick-and-place machine specifically designed for mounting larger components (such as the adapter board 200 or integrated chips in this application) can be used.

[0070] Step S14: The lower substrate 100 on which the surface mount element 500 and the adapter plate 200 are placed is reflow soldered so that the surface mount element 500 and the adapter plate 200 are connected to the lower substrate 100 through the first solder paste 410 and form the first component 600.

[0071] Please continue reading. Figure 2 (C) At this time, the lower substrate 100 holds the surface mount element 500 and the adapter plate 200. By placing the lower substrate 100 into a reflow soldering machine (not shown) for high-temperature reflow soldering (at least reaching the melting point of the first solder paste 410), the first solder paste 410 (not shown) will be melted. After cooling, the lower substrate 100, the surface mount element 500, and the adapter plate 200 will eventually form a whole, which constitutes the first component 600.

[0072] In this embodiment, the reflow soldering described above can be performed using a reflow soldering machine (not shown). It is understood that the soldering temperature setting within the reflow soldering machine is based on the melting point of the first solder paste 410. In this embodiment, the melting point of the first solder paste 410 is, for example, 220°C, therefore the soldering temperature of the reflow soldering machine is set to at least 220°C.

[0073] Step S15: Provide an upper substrate 300 and print the first solder paste 410 and the second solder paste 420 on the upper substrate 300.

[0074] Please see Figure 3 In this embodiment, step S15 specifically includes the following steps:

[0075] Step S151: Provide an upper substrate 300. The upper substrate 300 has an upper first surface 310 and an upper second surface 320.

[0076] It is understood that a first pad (not shown) and a second pad (not shown) are also pre-determined on the upper first surface 310 of the upper substrate 300. A first pad is pre-determined on the upper second surface 320 of the upper substrate 300.

[0077] Step S152: Print the first solder paste 410 on the upper second surface 320 of the upper substrate 300.

[0078] Please see Figure 2 (D) The first solder paste 410 is printed on the first pad (not shown) on the upper second surface 320.

[0079] It is understood that when the patch element 500 (not shown) does not need to be mounted on the upper second surface 320 of the upper substrate 300, step S152 can be omitted, that is, step S153 can be executed directly after step 151.

[0080] Step S153: Print the first solder paste 410 on the upper first surface 310 of the upper substrate 300.

[0081] Please see Figure 2 (E) The first solder paste 410 is printed on the first pad (not shown) on the upper first surface 310.

[0082] Step S154: Print the second solder paste 420 on the upper first surface 310 of the upper substrate 300.

[0083] Please continue reading. Figure 2(E) The second solder paste 420 is printed on the second pad (not shown) on the upper first surface 310.

[0084] In this embodiment, steps S152-S154 can be performed using a solder paste printer (not shown).

[0085] In this embodiment, step S154 specifically includes the following steps: laying a second stencil 820 on the upper first surface 310; and printing the second solder paste 420 on the upper first surface 310.

[0086] It is understood that in other embodiments of this application, the method further includes a step of laying a stencil when printing solder paste (including the first solder paste 410, see step S153, and the second solder paste 420, see step S154). For examples, please refer to [the relevant documentation / reference]. Figure 3 Step S153 specifically includes the following steps:

[0087] A first steel mesh 810 is laid on the upper first surface 310.

[0088] The first solder paste 410 is printed on the upper first surface 310.

[0089] Please refer to Figure 4 (A), 4(B), 5(A) and 5(B), in some embodiments, the steel mesh includes a first steel mesh 810 and a second steel mesh 820.

[0090] like Figure 4 In (A) and 4(B), when printing the first solder paste 410, a first stencil 810 can be laid first. The openings on the first stencil 810 correspond to the positions of the first pads 330 on the upper first surface 310, while the positions on the first stencil 810 corresponding to the second pads 340 are closed. Thus, after the first solder paste 410 is placed on the first stencil 810, and then squeegee (not shown) is used to scrape the solder, the first solder paste 410 is printed above the first pads 330.

[0091] For another example, please refer to Figure 5 In (A) and 5(B), when printing the second solder paste 420, a second stencil 820 can be laid first. The openings on the second stencil 820 correspond to the positions of the second pads 340 on the upper first surface 310, while the positions on the second stencil 820 corresponding to the first pads 330 are closed. Thus, after the second solder paste 420 is placed on the second stencil 820, and then squeegee (not shown) is used to scrape the solder, the second solder paste 420 is printed above the second pads 340.

[0092] It is understood that since the first solder paste 410 is already printed on the upper first surface 310 when the second solder paste 420 is printed, the second stencil 820 is a stepped stencil. The second stencil 820 has a printing section 822 and a blocking section 823. The blocking section 823 and the printing section 822 form a stepped shape. The blocking section 823 is used to block the already printed first solder paste 410 when the second solder paste 420 is printed. The specific positions of the printing section 822 and the blocking section 823 are not limited here and can be adjusted according to the required position and size of the first solder paste 410 and the second solder paste 420.

[0093] It is understood that in some embodiments, the shielding portion 823 may also be provided with a support structure 8231. The support structure 8231 is used to abut against the upper first surface 310 and is located between adjacent first pads 330 (or first solder paste 410). By providing the support structure 8231, it is possible to prevent the shielding portion 823 from pressing down and contacting the already printed first solder paste 410 when the squeegee is scraping solder.

[0094] Similarly, please see Figure 6 (A) and Figure 6 (B) The second stencil 820 includes a printing section 822 and a blocking section 823. The blocking section 823 is used to block the already printed second solder paste 420 when printing the first solder paste 410. Similarly, in these embodiments, the blocking section 823 may also be provided with a support structure 8231, the principle of which is similar to that described above and will not be repeated.

[0095] It is understood that the order of steps S152-S154 is not limited here. For example, in some embodiments, steps S153 and S154 can be interchanged, i.e., the second solder paste 420 is printed first, followed by the first solder paste 410. In this case, the first stencil 810 only needs to align the opening positions with the positions of the second pads 340 on the upper first surface 310, while the positions on the first stencil 810 corresponding to the first pads 330 are closed. The structure of the second stencil 820 will also change accordingly.

[0096] For example, step S152 can also be located after steps S153 and S154, that is, after the first solder paste 410 and the second solder paste 420 are printed on the upper first surface 310, the first solder paste 410 is then printed on the upper second surface 320.

[0097] It is understood that the first solder paste 410 and the second solder paste 420 have different melting points. In this embodiment, the melting point of the first solder paste 410 is higher than that of the second solder paste 420. For example, the melting point of the first solder paste 410 is 220°C, and the melting point of the second solder paste 420 is 190°C.

[0098] Step S16: Place the patch element 500 on the upper substrate 300 and place the first component 600 on the upper substrate 300.

[0099] Please see Figure 2 (F) The patch element 500 is placed on the first pad (not shown) on the surface of the upper substrate 300 (e.g., on the upper first surface 310 shown in the figure).

[0100] It is understood that in some other embodiments, the surface mount element 500 only needs to be placed on the first pad on the upper second surface 320. In other embodiments, the surface mount element 500 needs to be placed on both the first pad on the upper first surface 310 and the first pad on the upper second surface 320.

[0101] Please see Figure 2 (G) The first component 600 is placed on the upper first surface 310 of the upper substrate 300. The first component 600 is connected to the upper substrate 300 by contacting the second pad (not shown) on the second surface 220 of the adapter plate with the second solder paste 420 on the upper first surface 310.

[0102] It is understood that the placement order of the patch element 500 and the first component 600 is not limited here. In some other embodiments, the first component 600 may be placed first, and then the patch element 500 may be placed.

[0103] In this embodiment, the machine that places the surface mount element 500 and the first component 600 is a surface mount machine (as shown in the figure). Similarly, the surface mount machine that places the surface mount element 500 and the surface mount machine that places the first component 600 can be the same machine or different surface mount machines.

[0104] Step S17: The upper substrate 300 on which the surface mount element 500 and the first component 600 are placed is reflow soldered, so that the surface mount element 500 is connected to the upper substrate 300 through the first solder paste 410, and the first component 600 is connected to the upper substrate 300 through the second solder paste 420, thereby forming the printed circuit board 700.

[0105] Please see Figure 2(G) and Figure 2 (H) The upper substrate 300, on which the first component 600 and the surface mount element 500 are placed, is placed in a reflow soldering machine (not shown) for high-temperature (at least reaching the melting point of the first solder paste 410) reflow soldering. The first solder paste 410 (see...) Figure 2 (E)) and the second solder paste 420 will be melted. After cooling, the upper substrate 300, the surface mount element 500 and the first component 600 will eventually form a whole, which constitutes the printed circuit board 700.

[0106] In this embodiment, reflow soldering can be performed using a reflow soldering machine (not shown), and the temperature setting of the reflow soldering machine used in step S17 is set based on the melting points of the first solder paste 410 and the second solder paste 420. Specifically, the melting points of the first solder paste 410 and the second solder paste 420 are compared to obtain a higher temperature, and then the soldering temperature of the reflow soldering machine is set to be higher than this higher temperature.

[0107] By sharing a reflow soldering machine (i.e. sharing a reflow soldering temperature) with the first solder paste 410 and the second solder paste 420, and setting the soldering temperature to a temperature that can melt the first solder paste 410 which has a higher melting point, the first solder paste 410 and the second solder paste 420 can be melted simultaneously, reducing the use of the reflow soldering machine.

[0108] It is understood that the first solder paste 410 and the second solder paste 420 have different melting points. When the printed circuit board 700 needs to be disassembled for maintenance, a hot air gun is simply used and its temperature is adjusted to the melting point of the second solder paste 420 to melt the second solder paste 420 between the first component 600 and the upper substrate 300, thereby achieving disassembly. This simplifies the maintenance process of the printed circuit board 700.

[0109] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 7 It can be understood that after printing the first solder paste 410 on the lower substrate 100 and printing the first solder paste 410 or the second solder paste 420 on the upper substrate 300, the printed circuit board stacking method further includes the following steps:

[0110] Step S181: Detect whether there are any defects in the printing of the first solder paste 410 or the second solder paste 420.

[0111] For example, after step S11, it can be checked whether the printing of the first solder paste 410 meets certain requirements in terms of thickness and area. Similarly, after step S15, it can also be checked whether the printing of the first solder paste 410 and the second solder paste 420 meets the requirements.

[0112] It is understood that step S181 can be performed by a solder paste inspection (SPI) machine.

[0113] After placing the surface mount element 500, the adapter board 200, or the first component 600, the printed circuit board stacking method further includes the following steps:

[0114] Step S182: Detect whether the position of the component is offset. The component may be, for example, the patch element 500, the adapter plate 200, or the first component 600.

[0115] In this embodiment, the placement of the component can be detected using an Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) machine.

[0116] Specifically, after placing the patch element 500 on the lower substrate 100 or the upper substrate 300 (i.e., after steps S12 and S16), the placement position of the patch element 500 is detected. After placing the adapter plate 200 on the lower first surface 110 of the lower substrate 100 (i.e., after step S13), the placement position of the adapter plate 200 is detected. After placing the first component 600 on the upper first surface 310 of the upper substrate 300 (i.e., in step S16), the placement position of the first component 600 is detected.

[0117] After reflow soldering, the printed circuit board stacking method further includes the following steps:

[0118] Step S183: Check for defects in the soldering of the component. The component may be, for example, the patch element 500, the adapter plate 200, or the first assembly 600.

[0119] In this embodiment, the weld defects can be detected by an Automated Optical Inspection (AOI) machine.

[0120] Specifically, after reflow soldering the lower substrate 100 or the upper substrate 300 on which the patch element 500 is placed (i.e., after step S14 and step S17), the soldering of the patch element 500 is checked for defects. After reflow soldering the lower substrate 100 on which the adapter plate 200 is placed (i.e., after step S14), the soldering of the adapter plate 200 is checked for defects. After reflow soldering the upper substrate 300 on which the first component 600 is placed (i.e., after step S17), the soldering of the first component 600 is checked for defects.

[0121] This application reduces the number of SMT lines required for assembly by directly mounting the adapter board 200 as a component onto the lower substrate 100 and performing reflow soldering to form the first component 600, and then mounting the first component 600 as a component onto the upper substrate 300 and performing reflow soldering. This simplifies the assembly process and reduces the use of machines.
