Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of microwave component assembly, and in particular relates to an integrated welding device and method for a double-sided complex T / R component. Background Art
[0002] With the increasing demand for operational performance in weaponry, the use of phased array radars has become mainstream. As core components of phased array radars, T / R assemblies (transmitter / receiver modules) are characterized by a wide variety of materials, a wide range of sizes, and complex assembly processes. Missile-borne T / R assemblies, in particular, are constrained by size and weight requirements, requiring higher levels of integration, density, and complexity. A single module can contain more transceiver channels, leading to complex assembly processes. Achieving high-quality welding of these complex T / R assemblies has been a subject of extensive research.
[0003] In the prior art, the assembly of various components in a T / R assembly is primarily accomplished through welding or bonding. Soldering, primarily used for components, RF connectors, and other metal substrates, microstrip circuit boards, and FR4 circuit boards, requires multiple soldering passes using solders with varying temperature gradients. T / R assemblies with numerous channels and complex structures require more soldering passes and a greater variety of solders with varying melting points. However, the selection of commonly used soft solders is limited, creating certain process bottlenecks. Bonding, primarily used for bare chip assembly with less demanding heat dissipation requirements, typically uses conductive adhesives, resulting in a relatively simple process.
[0004] Existing research reports primarily focus on multi-gradient welding processes for T / R assemblies and the study of relatively simple welding fixtures for single-sided T / R assemblies. Research on welding complex double-sided T / R assemblies is relatively rare. The challenge lies in ensuring simultaneous, high-quality welding of components with multiple channels on both sides (A and B) that are not aligned in the same plane. This requires breakthroughs in both welding equipment and process methods. Summary of the Invention

[0038] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology in the welding devices and methods for multi-channel, double-sided complex T / R components, the present invention provides an integrated welding device and method for double-sided complex T / R components to reduce the difficulty of product welding and improve the welding quality of products, while meeting the needs of rapid and high-quality development and production of multi-variety and complex T / R component products.
[0039] For the convenience of describing this embodiment, the cross-sectional view of the typical double-sided complex T / R assembly is shown as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it comprises: a box body assembly Z1, the box body assembly Z1 includes a box body Z11 formed by integrally connecting a first box body portion Z101, a second box body portion Z102, a third box body portion Z103, a fourth box body portion Z104 and a fifth box body portion Z105; and a radio frequency connector Z12 welded to the first box body portion Z101; in this embodiment, the upper surface of the box body Z11 is surface A, and the lower surface is surface B, and a cover plate groove Z14 is further provided on the A and B surfaces of the box body Z11 for covering the upper and lower surfaces of the box body Z11; further, a plurality of welding holes are respectively provided on the A and B surfaces of the box body Z11. Connecting parts, specifically, a number of A-side first RF transmission microstrip boards Z2 and a number of B-side first RF transmission microstrip boards Z5 are respectively provided on the A-side and B-side of the second box body Z102; a number of A-side bare chip metal carriers Z3 and a number of B-side bare chip metal carriers Z6 are respectively provided on the A-side and B-side of the third box body Z103; an A-side printed circuit board assembly Z4 and a B-side printed circuit board assembly Z7 are respectively provided on the A-side and B-side of the fourth box body Z104; an A-side second RF transmission microstrip board Z8 and a B-side second RF transmission microstrip board Z9 are respectively provided on the A-side and B-side of the fifth box body Z105.

[0040] In order to realize the integrated welding of the above-mentioned double-sided complex T / R components, this embodiment provides an integrated welding device suitable for double-sided complex T / R components, such as Figure 2 As shown, it includes: a supporting base 1 for fixing the box body assembly Z1; an adjusting mechanism arranged on the upper and lower surfaces of the supporting base 1, each of the adjusting mechanisms including: an adjusting pressure block assembly, which is composed of a plurality of adjusting pressure blocks matching the shape of the welding insert, and the adjusting pressure block assembly is placed above the welding insert to adjust the height of each welding insert; a supporting stud, the bottom end of which is fixedly connected to the box body assembly Z1; an adjustable spring pressure plate assembly, which is fixedly connected to the top end of the supporting stud, controls the spring pressure pin in the adjustable spring pressure plate assembly, and provides spring preload force to the adjusting pressure block assembly, so that the welding insert below the adjusting pressure block assembly is fixed to the surface position of the box body assembly Z1.
[0041] Specifically, Figure 2 This is an assembly diagram of the integrated welding device for double-sided complex T / R components described in this embodiment, which includes: a supporting base 1 for fixedly installing the box body assembly Z1; a first adjustment mechanism 200 arranged on the upper surface of the supporting base 1 (i.e., the A side of the box body assembly Z1), the first adjustment mechanism 200 including the A side adjustment pressure block assembly 201, the A side support stud 202 and the A side adjustable spring pressure plate assembly 203; and a second adjustment mechanism 300 arranged on the lower surface of the supporting base 1 (i.e., the B side of the box body assembly Z1), the second adjustment mechanism 300 including the B side adjustment pressure block assembly 301, the B side support stud 302 and the B side adjustable spring pressure plate assembly 303.
[0042] Among them, Figure 3The figure shows a schematic diagram of the T / R assembly supporting base 1 and the A-side supporting studs 202 and the B-side supporting studs 302 described in this embodiment. A mounting groove is provided on the upper surface (i.e., the A-side) of the supporting base 1. The mounting groove forms a slotted step 101 on the upper surface of the supporting base 1. The shape and size of the slotted step 101 match the shape and size of the box assembly Z1. When the box assembly Z1 is installed on the supporting base 1, the edge of the box assembly Z1 is exactly stuck in the slotted step 101. Preferably, the size of the mounting groove is 0.1mm to 0.2mm larger than the shape and size of the box assembly Z1. The slotted step 101 has a depth of 0.2mm to 0.5mm. Furthermore, a mounting groove is provided on the lower surface (i.e., the B surface) of the supporting base 1, and the mounting groove is a through-hole type slot structure, i.e., the mounting groove extends from the B surface to the A surface of the supporting base 1; the shape and size of the mounting groove match the shape and size of the cover groove Z14; preferably, the size of the mounting groove is 0.1mm to 0.2mm larger than the size of the cover groove Z14, which makes installation more convenient and effectively prevents the cover groove Z14 from being unable to be installed on the supporting base 1.
[0043] Among them, Figure 3 As shown, a first threaded hole 102 is provided on the slotted step 101 of the supporting base 1, and the box body assembly Z1 is fixed on the supporting base 1 through the first threaded hole 102; the position and size of the first threaded hole 102 match the opening position of the box body assembly Z1.
[0044] Further, if Figure 3 As shown, the bearing base 1 is arrayed with second threaded holes 103 and third threaded holes 104 along its length and width, respectively. The second threaded holes 103 are used to mount the B-side support studs 302, while the third threaded holes 104 are used to mount the A-side support studs 202. The positions of the second threaded holes 103 and third threaded holes 104 on the bearing base 1 correspond to the positions of the fastening through-holes of the adjustable spring pressure plate assemblies on the A-side and B-side surfaces, respectively. Preferably, the center-to-center distance between two adjacent second threaded holes 103 ranges from 20mm to 60mm; similarly, the center-to-center distance between two adjacent third threaded holes 104 ranges from 20mm to 60mm.
[0045] Among them, Figure 3As shown, the A-side support studs 202 and the B-side support studs 302 are all hexagonal studs. Taking the A-side support studs 202 as an example, the support studs 202 include a support portion 221, the bottom end of which axially extends a protrusion 222, and the top end of the support portion 221 is axially recessed to form a recess 223. The outer surface of the protrusion 222 and the inner surface of the recess 223 are respectively provided with external threads and internal threads. The A-side support studs 202 are tightened and installed in the third threaded holes 104 on the supporting base 1 via the external threads of the protrusion 222; the internal threads of the recess 223 are used to tighten and install the A-side adjustable spring pressure plate assembly 203. The structure of the B-side support studs 302 is the same as that of the A-side support studs 202 and will not be repeated here. Preferably, in this embodiment, according to the characteristics of the welding insert corresponding to the box assembly Z1, the height of the supporting portion 221 of the A-side supporting stud 202 is 15 mm; the height of the supporting portion of the B-side supporting stud 302 is 5 mm.
[0046] Furthermore, to ensure that the welded components of the box assembly Z1 are on similar height planes, an adjusting pressure block assembly is installed between each welded component and the adjustable spring pressure plate assembly so that the plane height difference of each welded component is controlled within 1.5 mm.
[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 4 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of a part of the regulating block assembly described in this embodiment. Since the structure of the A-side regulating block assembly 201 is similar to that of the B-side regulating block assembly 301, the A-side regulating block assembly 201 is taken as an example in this embodiment. The A-side regulating block assembly 201 includes several regulating blocks that match the shape of the welding insert, specifically including the A-side first RF circuit block 211 (pressed on several first RF transmission microstrip boards Z2), the FR4 circuit board assembly block 212 (pressed on the A-side printed circuit board assembly Z4), the metal carrier block 213 (pressed on the A-side bare chip metal carrier Z3), and the second RF circuit block 214 (pressed on the second RF transmission microstrip board Z8).
[0048] The dimensions of the first RF circuit pressing block 211 on the A side match those of the first RF transmission microstrip plate Z2, and a "U-shaped" hollowing process is performed at the pin core position of the RF connector Z12 (e.g. Figure 4 As shown in the figure, a U-shaped hollow portion 2111 is formed, the size of which matches the size of the pin core of the RF connector Z12 rising from the side of the box body assembly Z1, ensuring that the first RF circuit pressing block 211 on the A side does not interfere with the pin core of the RF connector Z12 during assembly.
[0049] Among them, the outer dimensions of the FR4 circuit board assembly block 212 match the outer dimensions of the FR4 circuit board (i.e., the A-side printed circuit board assembly Z4) and the outer dimensions of the box body assembly Z1; a number of components are installed on the FR4 circuit board. In order to prevent the FR4 circuit board assembly block 212 from pressing the components, an avoidance groove 2121 is opened at the position of the FR4 circuit board assembly block 212 corresponding to the position where the components are installed. The shape and size of the avoidance groove 2121 match the outer dimensions of the installed components; preferably, the slot size of the avoidance groove 2121 is 0.3mm~0.5mm larger than the installation silk screen frame of the component to ensure that the soldered components are not damaged during the installation of the FR4 circuit board assembly block 212.
[0050] In this embodiment, the metal carrier pressing block 213 and the second RF circuit pressing block 214 are designed to integrate multiple channels into a single pressing block. Specifically, multiple previously separate metal carrier pressing blocks 213 are connected as a whole, and multiple previously separate second RF circuit pressing blocks 214 are similarly connected as a whole, forming a structure containing multiple channels within a single pressing block. The metal carrier pressing block 213 is used to press the bare chip metal carrier Z3 on the A-side, and the second RF circuit pressing block 214 is used to press the second RF transmission microstrip plate Z8 on the A-side. In this embodiment, each metal carrier pressing block 213 and second RF circuit pressing block 214 corresponds to four channels. In existing designs, each of the four channels corresponds to one metal carrier pressing block 213 and one second RF circuit pressing block, for a total of eight pressing blocks. This design, which connects the previously separate metal carrier pressing blocks and the second RF circuit pressing blocks into a single unit, not only reduces the number of pressing blocks but also increases their size, making alignment easier. This facilitates uniform pressure loading on the spring pressure pins 232 and ensures the quality of the welds.
[0051] like Figure 5 Figure 2 is a schematic diagram of the adjustable spring pressure plate assembly described in this embodiment. Since the A-side adjustable spring pressure plate assembly 203 and the B-side adjustable spring pressure plate assembly 303 have similar structures, this embodiment uses the A-side adjustable spring pressure plate assembly 203 to illustrate its structure and function. The A-side adjustable spring pressure plate assembly 203 includes an A-side metal pressure plate 231 and a plurality of pressure-adjustable spring pressure pins 232. The plurality of pressure-adjustable spring pressure pins 232 are spaced apart on the A-side metal pressure plate 231 to provide pressure for the adjustable pressure block assembly.
[0052] Furthermore, a fastening through hole 2311 is provided on one side of the A-side metal pressing plate 231, and the position of the fastening through hole 2311 matches the position of the third threaded hole 104 on the bearing base 1 (ie, Figure 3The third threaded hole 104 in the width direction of the middle bearing base 1 is used to fasten the A-side adjustable spring pressure plate assembly 203 to the A-side support stud 202. The A-side metal pressure plate 231 has a plurality of fourth threaded holes 2312 formed therein, through which the pressure-adjustable spring pressure pin 232 is secured to the A-side metal pressure plate 231. The location and number of the fourth threaded holes 2312 in the A-side metal pressure plate 231 should match the location and number of the plurality of adjustable pressure block assemblies on the A-side of the box assembly Z1.
[0053] Among them, the top of the spring pressure pin 232 is provided with a concave hexagonal hole 2321, and the bottom is provided with a telescopic part 2322; by using a hexagonal tool to reach into the concave hexagonal hole 2321 at the top of the spring pressure pin 232 to adjust the compression amount of the telescopic part 2322 at the bottom end of the spring pressure pin 232, and observing the compression amount of the bottom end 2322 of the spring pressure pin, it is ensured that each welding part maintains appropriate pressure during the welding process.
[0054] Based on the above-mentioned integrated welding device for a double-sided complex T / R assembly, this embodiment also provides an integrated assembly method for a double-sided complex T / R assembly, such as Figure 6 FIG. 1 is a flowchart of a double-sided complex T / R assembly process provided in this embodiment, including the following steps:
[0055] S1. Fasten the box assembly Z1 to the A surface (i.e., the upper surface) of the supporting base 1 with screws;
[0056] S2. Install the A-side welding inserts of the box assembly Z1, which specifically include several A-side RF transmission microstrip boards Z2, several A-side bare chip metal carriers Z3, A-side printed circuit board assemblies Z4, and several A-side second RF transmission microstrip boards Z8. Place welding material between the A-side welding inserts and the upper surface of the box assembly Z1;
[0057] S3, installing several adjusting pressing block assemblies 201 on surface A;
[0058] S4. Install the support studs 202 on the A side of the bearing base and the adjustable spring pressure plate assembly 203 on the A side. Specifically, first install multiple A side support studs 202 (three in this embodiment) into the corresponding third threaded holes 104 of the bearing base 1, and then fasten the A side adjustable spring pressure plate assembly 203 into the recessed portions 223 of the A side support studs 202.
[0059] S5. Install the B-side welding inserts of the box assembly Z1, which specifically include several B-side RF transmission microstrip boards Z5, several B-side bare chip metal carriers Z6, a B-side printed circuit board assembly Z7, and several B-side second RF transmission microstrip boards Z9. Place welding material between the B-side welding inserts and the lower surface of the box assembly Z1.
[0060] S6. Install several adjusting block assemblies 301 on the B side;
[0061] S7. Install the B-side support studs 302 and the B-side adjustable spring pressure plate assembly 303 of the bearing base. Specifically, first install multiple B-side support studs 302 (two in this embodiment) into the corresponding second threaded holes 103 of the bearing base 1, and then fasten the B-side adjustable spring pressure plate assembly 303 into the recessed portion of the B-side support studs 302.
[0062] S8. Place the installed welding device in the welding equipment for welding.
[0063] In step S3 and step S6, the regulating pressing block assembly is placed centrally above the welding insert, and filter paper with matching outer dimensions is placed between the regulating pressing block assembly and the welding insert.
[0064] Furthermore, after the adjustable spring pressure plate assembly described in step S4 and step S7 is installed, the position of the spring pressure pin 232 is adjusted, and the compression amount of the telescopic part 2322 at the bottom end of the spring pressure pin 232 is adjusted to 1 / 3 to 1 / 2 of the initial spring pressure pin height.
[0065] Preferably, the solder material is a 0.05 mm thick Sn63Pb37 solder sheet, whose shape and dimensions match those of the component being welded. The sheet is pre-coated with flux to improve welding efficiency. The welding equipment is vacuum vapor phase welding equipment, and the peak welding temperature is 205°C to 210°C.
[0066] In summary, compared with the existing T / R component welding method, by adopting the integrated welding device disclosed in the present invention, which includes a bearing base, an adjusting pressure block assembly, and an adjustable spring pressure plate assembly, it is possible to achieve one-time welding of double-sided, complex, and multi-channel T / R components, reducing the T / R component's demand for materials with different temperature gradients and reducing the difficulty of welding; by adopting a vacuum vapor phase welding method for welding components, it is possible to ensure the welding heat capacity requirement of the box body component, and achieve integrated, high-quality welding of double-sided complex T / R components, which is particularly suitable for the rapid development and production needs of multiple varieties and high reliability.
