Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of automatic control technology, and more specifically, to a blade control system and method for a solder paste printer. Background Art

[0002] Solder paste printing technology uses a pre-made stencil. By a certain method, the stencil is brought into direct contact with the printer, and the solder paste flows evenly within the stencil and is injected into the apertures. When the stencil leaves the printed board, the solder paste falls off from the apertures in the shape of the aperture pattern onto the corresponding pad pattern on the printed board, thus completing the printing of the solder paste on the printed board.

[0003] Currently, fully automatic solder paste printers are mainly used in SMT factories, which are production equipment for printing solder paste onto corresponding pads on a PCB. The working principle is to first fix the PCB to be printed on the printing positioning table, and then the left and right (or front and back) blades of the printer squeegee the solder paste through the stencil onto the corresponding pads. Since the solder paste is a thixotropic body and has viscosity, when the blade moves forward at a certain speed and angle, a certain pressure is generated on the solder paste, pushing the solder paste to roll in front of the squeegee, generating the pressure required to inject the solder paste into the apertures or vias. The viscous friction of the solder paste causes shear at the junction of the squeegee and the stencil of the solder paste printer, and the shear force reduces the viscosity of the solder paste, which is conducive to the smooth injection of the solder paste into the stencil openings or vias. Among them, the blade speed, blade pressure, and the angle between the blade and the stencil all have a certain impact on printing. Only by correctly controlling these parameters can the printing quality of the solder paste be ensured.

[0004] An ordinary blade consists of a blade holder, a blade, and a blade retainer. The blade is an integral whole, and when adjusting the blade pressure and angle, the entire blade is adjusted together. When there are stencils with significantly different heights, during the process of the blade advancing, due to the steps generated by the high and low stencils, the area of the stencil with a lower height is not scraped clean, and there is more solder paste remaining on the stencil. It is difficult for the solder paste to fall onto the PCB pads, resulting in poor solder deposition. After passing through the reflow oven, there will be insufficient solder. If the blade pressure is forcibly increased, it is easy to damage the stencil and the blade. Excessive extrusion of the stencil on the PCB will also cause the solder paste in the apertures to be extruded and spread around, causing abnormalities such as short circuits and solder balls.

Thus, the present invention effectively solves the process problem that when facing stencils of different thicknesses, the squeegee cannot scrape cleanly, resulting in poor solder deposition.

[0033] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
