Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments of the present invention relate to the technical field of circuit board manufacturing processes, and in particular to a method for manufacturing a circuit board and a circuit board. Background Art

[0002] A photovoltaic inverter is an electrical device used in photovoltaic power generation systems, responsible for converting the direct current (DC) generated by photovoltaic modules into alternating current (AC). IGBTs are crucial components in photovoltaic inverters. The inverter's circuit board typically integrates multiple IGBTs, located on the same side of the board. However, IGBTs are high-power and generate a lot of heat. Therefore, photovoltaic inverters incorporate a heat sink that abuts the multiple IGBTs to dissipate heat. When multiple IGBTs directly abut the heat sink, they must be located on the same plane. If they are not located on the same plane, the contact areas between the IGBTs and the heat sink vary, making it very easy for some IGBTs to have insufficient contact with the heat sink, resulting in insufficient heat dissipation for some IGBTs.

[0003] However, in the process of implementing the embodiments of the present invention, the inventors found that: currently, when soldering IGBT components to the substrate of the circuit board, the main method is: first manually insert the IGBT components into the substrate, and then solder the IGBT components to the substrate. When soldering the IGBT components to the substrate, visually check whether the multiple IGBT components are in the same plane, and adjust them while soldering. This visual inspection method makes it difficult to ensure that the multiple IGBT components are in the same plane, which will affect the subsequent heat dissipation effect of the multiple IGBT components.

Production markings 36 are located on the first and second surfaces to improve traceability and process control during the manufacturing process of the circuit board 300. Figure 9 , Figure 9 FIG. 1 is a flow chart of a first embodiment of a method for manufacturing a circuit board 300 according to the present invention. The method includes:

[0093] Step 01: Make the base plate.

[0094] The substrate has a first surface and a second surface. The first surface is provided with a plurality of welding positions. The substrate is also provided with a plurality of first through holes and a plurality of first plug holes. The plurality of first through holes and the plurality of first plug holes all pass through the first surface and the second surface. A first through hole and a first plug hole are located at a welding position.

[0095] Step 02: Provide a selective soldering jig and a plurality of IGBT components 32 .

[0096] Step 03: Place a plurality of IGBT components 32 on the first surface, with one IGBT component 32 located at a welding position and a pin of one IGBT component 32 plugged into a first socket.

[0097] Step 04: Place the substrate with the plurality of IGBT components 32 on the first base plate assembly 11 .

[0098] In some embodiments, step 04 is specifically as follows: placing the substrate with a plurality of IGBT elements 32 into the placement groove 1111, controlling the first pressing member 112 to press the surface of the substrate away from the placement groove 1111 (i.e., the first surface of the substrate) to fix the substrate in the placement groove 1111.

[0099] Step 05: Place the pressing plate assembly 12 on one side of the first base plate assembly 11 .

[0100] The other end of the height-limiting column 122 abuts against the first base plate assembly 11 , and an abutting block 1212 corresponds to an IGBT element 32 .

[0101] In some embodiments, step 05 is specifically as follows: the pressure plate 121 is covered on one side of the first base plate 111, wherein the other end of the height limiting column 122 abuts the first base plate 111, and the second pressing fastener 113 is controlled to press the pressure plate 121 away from the surface of the first base plate 111 to fix the pressure plate 121 to the first base plate 111.

[0102] Step 06: Set the functional board assembly 13 on the other side of the first base plate assembly 11, and the other end of an elastic abutment 132 passes through the first base plate assembly 11 and a first through hole and abuts against an IGBT component 32 to push the IGBT component 32 toward the abutment block 1212.

[0103] A surface of an IGBT element 32 facing away from the substrate abuts against a surface of an abutting block 1212 facing away from the pressing plate 121 , and a pin of the IGBT element 32 is exposed at a first welding joint.

[0104] Step 07: Solder several IGBT pins to the second surface through the first soldering joint.

[0105] Step 08: After soldering of several IGBT pins is completed, the selective soldering jig is removed to obtain the circuit board 300.

[0106] In an embodiment of the present invention, before the pins of a plurality of IGBT elements 32 are soldered to the substrate, the substrate with the plurality of IGBT elements 32 is fixed to the first base plate assembly 11, and an elastic abutting member 132 abuts against an IGBT element 32 to push the IGBT element 32 toward the abutting block 1212, so that the surface of an IGBT element 32 facing away from the substrate abuts against the surface of an abutting block 1212 facing away from the pressure plate 121. Since the surfaces of the plurality of abutting blocks 1212 facing away from the pressure plate 121 are flush, the surfaces of the plurality of IGBT elements 32 facing away from the substrate are ensured to be in the same plane, thereby not affecting the subsequent heat dissipation effect of the plurality of IGBTs, and at the same time, improving the production efficiency of the circuit board 300.

[0107] See also Figure 10 , Figure 101 is a flow chart of a second embodiment of a method for manufacturing a circuit board 300 according to the present invention. The second embodiment differs from the other embodiments in that:

[0108] After step 02 and before step 03, the method includes:

[0109] Step 09: Bend the pins of the IGBT element 32.

[0110] In some embodiments, step 09 specifically includes: using a bending jig to bend the pins of the IGBT component 32 so that the distance from the center hole of the IGBT component 32 to the bending point is 21 mm to 22 mm.

[0111] In the embodiment of the present invention, the IGBT element 32 is bent so that the plane of the IGBT element 32 is flush. When the substrate with several IGBTs is installed in the inverter, the plane of the IGBT element 32 is better fitted to the heat sink, resulting in better heat dissipation effect.

[0112] See also Figure 11 , Figure 11 3 is a flow chart of a third embodiment of a method for manufacturing a circuit board 300 according to the present invention. The third embodiment differs from the other embodiments in that:

[0113] This embodiment is a method for manufacturing a substrate. Before step 02, the method includes:

[0114] Step 10: Provide an original board 31 , a first SMT component 33 , a second SMT component 34 , an insert component 35 and a wave soldering jig 200 .

[0115] The original board 31 is provided with a second plug hole, a plurality of welding positions, a plurality of first through holes and a plurality of first plug holes are provided on the original board 31 , and the original board 31 has a first surface (ie the first surface of the substrate) and a second surface (ie the second surface of the substrate).

[0116] Step 11: Bake the original plate 31.

[0117] It should be noted that the original plate 31 needs to be baked at 115°C to 125°C. After baking, the original plate 31 needs to be flattened to prevent warping and deformation. The next step can be performed after the original plate 31 cools to room temperature.

[0118] Step 12: Mount the first SMT component 33 on the first surface of the original board 31 .

[0119] In some embodiments, see Figure 12 , step 12 further includes:

[0120] Step 121: Provide a first solder paste and a placement machine.

[0121] Step 122 : Apply the first solder paste to the second surface of the original board 31 .

[0122] In some embodiments, see Figure 13 , step 112 further includes:

[0123] Step 1221: Provide a first steel mesh.

[0124] The first steel mesh is provided with a second mark, and the second surface of the original plate 31 is provided with a first mark 311 .

[0125] In some embodiments, the thickness of the first steel mesh is 0.133 mm, and the openings of the first steel mesh are opened in different types according to the type of the first SMT component 33. For example, for the resistors, capacitors, etc. of the first SMT component 33, the openings of the first steel mesh are opened according to the 1:1 ratio of the pads, and anti-tin bead grooves are opened. The first steel mesh made in this way is conducive to reducing the occurrence of undesirable conditions such as offset, excessive tin, and continuous tin during the first solder paste application process.

[0126] Step 1222 : Attach the first steel mesh to the second surface, and align the second mark with the first mark 311 .

[0127] It should be noted that the first steel mesh needs to be cleaned, tension tested and inspected in advance. The cleaning procedure helps to prevent residual solder paste from clogging the openings of the first steel mesh and affecting the first solder paste brushing. The tension test procedure is used to select damaged first steel meshes, and the inspection procedure is used to avoid using the wrong first steel mesh.

[0128] Step 1223: Apply the first solder paste to the first steel mesh to apply the first solder paste to the second surface.

[0129] It should be noted that the first solder paste needs to be fully stirred and warmed up in advance.

[0130] Step 1224: After the first solder paste is solidified, remove the first steel mesh.

[0131] Step 123 : Place the original board 31 coated with the first solder paste into a placement machine, attach the first SMT component 33 to the first solder paste by the placement machine, and heat the first solder paste by the placement machine to solder the first SMT component 33 to the second surface of the original board 31 .

[0132] It should be noted that the first SMT component 33 is mounted on the second surface of the original board 31 according to a preset position by a chip mounter. The original board 31 after the first SMT component 33 is mounted is required to be inspected. After confirming that there are no quality issues with the original board 31 after the first SMT component 33 is mounted, mass production can begin. Specifically, an optical inspection device is used to grasp the first mark 311 of the original board 31 for positioning. The original board 31 after the first SMT component 33 is mounted is inspected. After confirming that there are no quality issues such as deviation, missing components, reversed components, reversed components, sideways components, tombstone components, solder joints, or multiple components, mass production can begin.

[0133] Step 13: Mount the second SMT component 34 on the first surface of the original board 31 .

[0134] In some embodiments, see Figure 14 , step 13 further includes:

[0135] Step 131: Provide a second solder paste.

[0136] Step 132 : Apply the second solder paste to the first surface of the original board 31 .

[0137] In some embodiments, see Figure 15 , step 132 further includes:

[0138] Step 1321: Provide a second steel mesh.

[0139] The second steel mesh is provided with a fourth mark, and the first surface of the original plate 31 is provided with a third mark 312 .

[0140] In some embodiments, the second stencil has a thickness of 0.133 mm. The openings in the second stencil are differentiated based on the type of second SMT component 34. For example, for resistors, capacitors, and other second SMT components 34, the openings in the second stencil are arranged 1:1 with the solder pads, and anti-solder beading grooves are provided. For copper strips of the second SMT component 34, the openings in the second stencil are not arranged along the entire length of the solder pads. A 0.5 mm bridge is left between the pads to prevent the copper strip from being misaligned due to excessive soldering. This method of fabricating a second stencil helps reduce undesirable issues such as offset, excessive soldering, and solder bridging during the second solder paste application process.

[0141] Step 1322 : Attach the second steel mesh to the first surface, and align the fourth mark with the third mark 312 .

[0142] It should be noted that the second steel mesh needs to be cleaned, tension tested and inspected in advance. The cleaning procedure helps to prevent residual solder paste from clogging the openings of the second steel mesh and affecting the application of the first solder paste. The tension test procedure is used to select damaged second steel meshes, and the inspection procedure is used to avoid using the wrong steel mesh.

[0143] Step 1323: Apply the second solder paste to the second steel mesh to apply the second solder paste to the first surface.

[0144] It should be noted that the second solder paste needs to be fully stirred and warmed up in advance.

[0145] Step 1324: After the second solder paste is solidified, remove the second steel mesh.

[0146] Step 133 : Place the original board 31 coated with the second solder paste into a placement machine, attach the second SMT component 34 to the second solder paste by the placement machine, and heat the second solder paste by the placement machine to solder the second SMT component 34 to the first surface of the original board 31 .

[0147] It should be noted that the second SMT component 34 is mounted on the first surface of the original board 31 according to a preset position by a chip mounter. The original board 31 after the second SMT component 34 is first mounted needs to be inspected to confirm that there are no quality issues with the original board 31 after the second SMT component 34 is first mounted before mass production can begin. Specifically, the third mark 312 of the original board 31 is grasped and positioned by optical inspection equipment, and the original board 31 after the second SMT component 34 is first mounted is inspected to confirm that there are no quality issues such as deviation, missing components, reversed components, reversed components, sideways components, tombstone components, solder joints, or multiple components before mass production can begin.

[0148] Step 14: Insert the pins of the plug-in component 35 into the second socket along the direction from the first surface to the second surface.

[0149] Step 15: Place the original board 31 with the plug-in component 35 on the second base plate assembly 21 , and the second base plate assembly 21 covers the second SMT component 34 .

[0150] In some embodiments, step 016 specifically includes placing the original board 31 with the plug-in device 35 on the second base board.

[0151] Step 16: Removably fix the cover plate assembly 22 to the second bottom plate assembly 21 .

[0152] The cover assembly 22 abuts against the first surface of the original board 31 with the plug-in component 35 , and the pins of the plug-in component 35 are exposed in the second welding openings 2112 .

[0153] In some embodiments, step 017 is specifically as follows: inserting the support member 222 into the first limiting groove 2121, passing the tightening screw 223 through the second through hole and screwing it into the first screw hole 2111, wherein the tightening screw 223 abuts the first surface of the original board 31 with the plug-in device 35.

[0154] Step 17: Solder the pins of the plug-in component 35 to the original board 31 through the second welding openings 2112 to obtain a base board.

[0155] In the embodiment of the present invention, the second SMT component 34 located on the first surface is covered by the second base plate 211 to avoid the second SMT component 34 located on the first surface from falling off when the plug-in component 35 is wave soldered. At the same time, the second base plate 211 also covers the first socket to avoid the first socket being blocked by tin. Furthermore, the tightening screw 223 abuts against the second surface of the original board 31 with the plug-in component 35 to avoid deformation of the original board 31 with the plug-in component 35 due to the excessive weight of the original board 31, which may cause tin overflow from the original board 31.

[0156] See also Figure 16 , Figure 16 1 is a flow chart of a fourth embodiment of a method for manufacturing a circuit board 300 according to the present invention. The fourth embodiment differs from the other embodiments in that:

[0157] After step 11 and before step 12, the method includes:

[0158] Step 18: The original plate 31 is engraved with a production mark 36 .

[0159] In some embodiments, step 18 is specifically as follows: using laser engraving equipment to engrave production marks 36 on the second surface and the first surface of the original plate 31. The production mark 36 located on the second surface is a serial number QR code and the name of the product model, and the production mark 36 located on the first surface is a serial number QR code.

[0160] In the embodiment of the present invention, the production mark 36 is used to improve traceability and process control during the manufacturing process of the circuit board 300.

[0161] See also Figure 17 , Figure 17 1 is a flow chart of a fifth embodiment of the method for manufacturing a circuit board 300 according to the present invention. The fifth embodiment differs from the other embodiments in that:

[0162] Before step 14, and after step 13, the method includes:

[0163] Step 19: Trim the pins of the plug-in component 35 with long pins.

[0164] It should be noted that the distance between the protruding pins of the plug-in component 35 after the pins are trimmed and inserted into the second jack is 1.5 mm to 2.5 mm.

[0165] In the embodiment of the present invention, the long pins of the plug-in component 35 are trimmed to prevent the protruding long pins of the plug-in component 35 from occupying space and to prevent the long pins of the plug-in component 35 from accidentally contacting other electrical components.

[0166] See also Figure 18 , Figure 18 1 is a flow chart of a sixth embodiment of the method for manufacturing a circuit board 300 according to the present invention. The sixth embodiment differs from the other embodiments in that:

[0167] After step 17 and before step 02, the method includes:

[0168] Step 20: Apply conformal coating to the soldering surfaces of the connectors of the first SMT component 33 , the second SMT component 34 and the plug-in component 35 .

[0169] In some embodiments, after coating with conformal coating, the substrate is cured in a curing oven at a temperature controlled between 60°C and 90°C, with the temperature gradually increasing. After curing, the soldering surfaces of the connectors for the first SMT component 33, the second SMT component 34, and the plug-in component 35 are ensured to be dry. Conformal coating exhibits excellent high and low temperature resistance, and after curing, it forms a transparent protective film with superior insulation, moisture resistance, leakage protection, shock resistance, dust resistance, corrosion resistance, aging resistance, and corona resistance.

[0170] In the embodiment of the present invention, after the conformal coating is applied, the first SMT component 33 , the second SMT component 34 and other components are protected from environmental corrosion.

[0171] See also Figure 19 , Figure 19 1 is a flow chart of a seventh embodiment of the method for manufacturing a circuit board 300 according to the present invention. The seventh embodiment differs from the other embodiments in that:

[0172] Methods include:

[0173] Step 21: Fix the capacitors, resistors, relays and other components of the plug-in components 35 with glue.

[0174] It should be noted that the first SMT component 33 and the second SMT component 34 cannot be covered during glue dispensing.

[0175] In the embodiment of the present invention, components such as capacitors, resistors, and relays of the plug-in components 35 are fixed to the original board 31 by dispensing glue to prevent loosening.
