Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of component lead trimming technology, and particularly relates to a CQFP component lead trimming fixture. Background Technology
[0002] CQFP (Ceramic Quad Flat Package) components offer advantages such as excellent hermeticity, high pin density, and high reliability, and are commonly used in military and aerospace products. If CQFP components experience pin warping, poor coplanarity, or lateral misalignment during forming, storage, or transportation, the problematic pins must be individually repaired to avoid affecting subsequent soldering reliability and prevent issues such as solder joint failure or device malfunction.
[0003] However, CQFPs have small pin pitch, thin pins, and a large number of pins, making trimming difficult and inefficient. Common trimming methods include manual trimming and equipment trimming. Manual trimming requires tools such as vacuum pens, smooth plates, and probes. Since there are no reference process pads and it is impossible to completely fix the shaped component, it relies heavily on the operator's skill and experience. Currently, the commonly used CQFP component rework equipment on the market is expensive, making it difficult to promote and apply on a large scale. Summary of the Invention

[0034] Because the present invention adopts the above technical solution, it has the following advantages and positive effects compared with the prior art:
[0035] 1. This invention uses a clamping mechanism to hold and position components, facilitating subsequent trimming of component leads. During trimming, a lead position reference provides a reference position for the lead, ensuring accurate trimming to the correct location. Simultaneously, a height adjustment mechanism adjusts the height of the lead position reference to ensure the distance between the reference position and the lead is within a preset range, eliminating reference errors. Excessive distance between the reference position and the lead can lead to visual inaccuracies and incomplete lead trimming. The height adjustment mechanism also makes the fixture more adaptable, accommodating different lead heights of various components. The height of the lead position reference can be quickly and adaptively adjusted according to the post-forming lead height of different components. In summary, this invention features a simple overall structure, ease of use, high operational efficiency, labor-saving operation, low cost, and stable clamping quality, effectively solving the component clamping and positioning problem. Its superiority is particularly evident when trimming CQFP component leads.
[0036] 2. The pin position reference component of this invention is a tooling printed circuit board (PCB). The pin reference position is the process pad on the tooling PCB. The tooling PCB is made from a PCB used for mounting components, allowing the tooling PCB to be manufactured by modifying existing PCBs used for mounting components. This reduces manufacturing costs. Furthermore, because the PCB itself has process pads for soldering components, the pin reference position is more accurate, resulting in smaller manufacturing errors. Simultaneously, during component changeovers, tooling PCBs can be quickly fabricated according to the PCBs of different component types, making changeovers more rapid.
[0037] 3. Both the fixed clamping component and the movable clamping component of the present invention are composed of two vertical plates arranged at an angle. The fixed clamping component and the movable clamping component are arranged diagonally and are used to clamp the adjacent side walls of the diagonal ends of the component, so that components of different sizes can be clamped, making it more adaptable.
[0038] 4. The sliding member of the present invention is driven to slide toward the fixed clamping member by the elastic force of the clamping elastic member, so as to drive the movable clamping member to move toward the fixed clamping member to clamp the component. In other words, the clamping force is provided by the elastic force, which makes the clamping force stable and will not damage the component due to operation error. Attached Figure Description

[0062] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The advantages and features of the present invention will become clearer from the following description. It should be noted that the drawings are all in a very simplified form and use non-precise ratios, and are only used to facilitate and clarify the illustration of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0063] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.
[0064] See Figures 1 to 20 The core of this invention is to provide a CQFP component pin trimming fixture, including a base 1, a pin position reference, and a height adjustment mechanism, a clamping mechanism 2, and a tension switching mechanism 3 disposed on the base 1, with the reference being disposed on the height adjustment mechanism.
[0065] The base 1 includes a substrate and an outer cover 12. The outer cover 12 is fixed to the periphery of the lower end face of the substrate by a number of second mounting screws 121. The height adjustment mechanism is located on the upper end face of the substrate. The clamping mechanism 2 and the tension switching mechanism 3 are both located on the lower end face of the substrate and inside the outer cover 12. The upper end of the clamping mechanism 2 extends to the upper end face of the substrate.
[0066] The clamping mechanism 2 is used to clamp and position the component, and the tension switching mechanism 3 is used to drive the clamping mechanism 2 to clamp or release the component. By clamping the component, the pins on the component can be trimmed using tools later. In this embodiment, the component is a CQFP component 4, which is square in shape. The pin position reference piece is provided with several pin reference positions, which are used to provide a reference position when trimming the pins on the component.
[0067] Specifically, the pin position reference component has a square first receiving hole 132 in the middle, the clamping mechanism 2 is disposed in the first receiving hole 132, and the pin reference position is disposed on the upper end surface of the pin position reference component. By aligning the pins on the CQFP component 4 with the corresponding pin reference positions in the horizontal or vertical direction, the component can be adjusted into position, thus enabling the pins to be accurately adjusted to the correct position.
[0068] Furthermore, when trimming the pins, the height of the pin position reference piece is first adjusted using the height adjustment mechanism to adjust the distance between the pin reference position and the pin to a preset distance. This ensures that no errors occur during reference, because if the distance between the pin reference position and the pin is too large, visual reference will produce errors, resulting in incomplete pin trimming. The height adjustment mechanism also makes this fixture more adaptable, accommodating different pin heights of different CQFP components 4. The height of the pin position reference piece can be quickly and adaptively adjusted according to the pin height dimensions after the different CQFP components 4 are formed.
[0069] In this embodiment, the pin position reference is a hollow square tooling printed circuit board 13, and the pin reference position is the process pad on the tooling printed circuit board 13. The tooling printed circuit board 13 is made from a printed circuit board used to mount CQFP components 4. This allows the tooling printed circuit board 13 to be manufactured by modifying existing printed circuit boards used to mount CQFP components 4, resulting in low manufacturing cost. Furthermore, since the printed circuit board itself has process pads for soldering CQFP components 4, the orientation of the pin reference position is more accurate, reducing manufacturing errors. At the same time, during model changeovers, the tooling printed circuit board 13 can be quickly manufactured according to printed circuit boards of different types of CQFP components 4, making model changeovers more rapid.
[0070] The height adjustment mechanism includes several adjusting screws 131 and several adjusting springs 15, with the adjusting springs 15 sleeved on the adjusting screws 131. In this embodiment, four sets of adjusting screws 131 and adjusting springs 15 are provided, respectively located at the four corners of the tooling printed circuit board 13. The tooling printed circuit board 13 has four mounting holes, respectively located at its four corners. The substrate has mounting screw holes in a number and position corresponding to the mounting holes. Specifically, the upper end face of the base 1 has bosses 111 in a number and position corresponding to the mounting holes. The bosses 111 have stepped holes coaxial with the mounting holes. The mounting screw holes are located at the lower part of the stepped holes, and the upper part of the stepped holes is a smooth hole with a diameter larger than that of the mounting screw holes.
[0071] The adjusting screw 131 passes through the mounting hole and is threaded into the mounting screw hole. The adjusting spring 15 is located between the substrate and the tooling printed circuit board 13 and is situated within the aperture. The adjusting spring 15 is in a compressed state, always providing upward elastic force to the tooling printed circuit board 13, ensuring that it remains in contact with the head of the adjusting screw 131 without coming loose. The vertical movement height of the tooling printed circuit board 13 can be adjusted by adjusting the depth to which the adjusting screw 131 is screwed into the mounting screw hole. When the tooling printed circuit board 13 is in its lowest position and is in contact with the upper end face of the boss 111, the upward movement range of the tooling printed circuit board 13 from the lowest position is (0, h). Therefore, it is necessary to ensure that the selected adjusting spring 15 has sufficient elastic force within the height range of (0, h) to ensure that the upper end face of the tooling printed circuit board 13 is completely in contact with the head of the adjusting screw 131.
[0072] Furthermore, a barrier assembly is provided on the periphery of the tooling printed circuit board 13 to limit the tooling printed circuit board 13 and prevent it from tilting when it moves up and down.
[0073] Specifically, the enclosure assembly includes four baffles 14, which are respectively disposed around the perimeter of the tooling printed circuit board 13. Each baffle 14 has an adjusting oblong hole 142 at at least two ends. A first mounting screw 141 passes through the adjusting oblong hole 142 and is threaded to the substrate to install the baffle 14 onto the substrate. The gap between the baffle 14 and the tooling printed circuit board 13 can be adjusted by adjusting the oblong hole 142. After the tooling printed circuit board 13 is installed in place, the gap between the baffle 14 and the tooling printed circuit board 13 is adjusted appropriately to ensure that the tooling printed circuit board 13 can slide smoothly up and down along the baffle 14 in a horizontal position. Then, the baffle 14 is fixed to the base plate 11 with the first mounting screw 141.
[0074] The clamping mechanism 2 includes a fixed clamping member 21, a movable clamping member 25, a sliding member, a fixed slider, and a clamping elastic member. The substrate has a second receiving hole 112 corresponding to the first receiving hole 132, and the second receiving hole 112 is also a square hole. The fixed clamping member 21 is located in the first receiving hole 132 and the second receiving hole 112, and the fixed clamping member 21 is fixed to the lower end face of the substrate by a mounting flange. The mounting flange is fixed to the lower end face of the substrate by a plurality of third mounting screws 5.
[0075] The fixed slider is fixed to the lower end face of the substrate, and the sliding member is located on the lower end face of the substrate and passes below the second receiving hole 112. The sliding member is slidably connected to the fixed slider. The clamping elastic member is disposed between the sliding member and the fixed slider, and the clamping elastic member applies an elastic force to the sliding member toward the fixed clamping member 21. Specifically, the sliding member is provided with a stepped groove, the upper groove width of which is smaller than the lower groove width. The fixed slider is a T-shaped slider 24, which is disposed in the stepped groove and fixed to the substrate by a number of fourth mounting screws 6. The upper width of the T-shaped slider 24 is smaller than the lower width. The upper part of the T-shaped slider 24 is located at the upper part of the stepped groove, and the lower part is located at the lower part of the stepped groove.
[0076] The clamping elastic element is a clamping spring 23, which is located between the inner wall of one end of the stepped slide groove and one end of the T-shaped slider 24 and is in a compressed state. Furthermore, one end of the T-shaped slider 24 is provided with a flat-bottomed hole 241, and one end of the clamping spring 23 is inserted into the flat-bottomed hole 241.
[0077] The movable clamping member 25 is fixed on the sliding member and located in the first receiving hole 132 and the second receiving hole 112. The movable clamping member 25 is driven by the elastic force of the clamping spring 23 to move toward the fixed clamping member 21 to clamp the CQFP component 4. The tension switching mechanism 3 drives the sliding member to overcome the elastic force of the clamping elastic member and move away from the fixed clamping member 21 to release the CQFP component 4.
[0078] Specifically, both the fixed clamping member 21 and the movable clamping member 25 are composed of two vertical plates arranged at an angle. In this embodiment, the two vertical plates are arranged at 90 degrees, and the fixed clamping member 21 and the movable clamping member 25 are diagonally arranged to clamp the adjacent sidewalls at opposite corners of the CQFP component 4. The angle between the two vertical plates matches the angle of the adjacent ends of the CQFP component 4, meaning that the angle of the adjacent ends of the CQFP component 4 is also 90 degrees. The fixed clamping member 21 and the movable clamping member 25 achieve diagonal clamping of the CQFP component 4. Furthermore, the fixed clamping member 21 and the movable clamping member 25 are respectively located at the diagonal corners of the first receiving hole 132 and the second receiving hole 112. The two vertical plates of the fixed clamping member 21 are respectively attached to the two adjacent inner walls of the first receiving hole 132 and the second receiving hole 112.
[0079] The upper surfaces of each vertical plate are of equal height and serve as bearing surfaces. The CQFP component 4 is placed on these bearing surfaces. A retaining edge is provided on the side of the bearing surface furthest from the CQFP component 4; this retaining edge is used to clamp the side wall of the CQFP component 4. (See also...) Figure 8The upper surfaces of the two vertical plates of the fixed clamping member 21 are first bearing surfaces 211, and the first bearing surfaces 211 have a first stop 212 on the side away from the CQFP component 4; the upper surfaces of the two vertical plates of the movable clamping member 25 are second bearing surfaces, and the second bearing surfaces have a second stop on the side away from the CQFP component 4. Furthermore, the first stop 212 is relatively long, increasing the clamping area on the adjacent sides of the CQFP component 4, fully satisfying the diagonal clamping requirement.
[0080] The tension switching mechanism 3 includes a switching slide bar 31, which is slidably connected to the lower end face of the substrate. Specifically, it includes at least two pressure blocks 32. In this embodiment, two pressure blocks 32 are provided. The pressure blocks 32 are fixed to the lower end face of the substrate by several fifth mounting screws 7. The upper end face of the pressure block 32 is provided with a sliding groove, and the switching slide bar 31 is slidably connected in the sliding groove. The switching slide bar 31 is set at a 90-degree angle to the sliding member, which is located above the switching slide bar 31. The lower end face of the sliding member facing the switching slide bar 31 is the forming surface, and the switching slide bar 31 is located below the forming surface and is limited by it. That is to say, the switching slide bar 31 slides in the sliding cavity formed by the forming surface and the sliding groove. A stepped slide groove and a T-shaped slider 24 are provided at the end of the sliding member away from the switching slide bar 31.
[0081] Furthermore, at least one stop post 312 is provided on the upper end surface of the switching slide bar 31. In this embodiment, a stop post 312 is provided on the upper end surface of each end of the switching slide bar 31. A limiting groove 113 corresponding to the stop post 312 is provided on the substrate along the sliding direction of the switching slide bar 31. The stop post 312 is provided in the limiting groove 113. The stop post 312 and the limiting groove 113 cooperate to limit the sliding stroke of the switching slide bar 31 and prevent the switching slide bar 31 from overtraveling and falling off.
[0082] One side wall of the switching slide bar 31 is opposite to one end of the slider and is used to drive the slider to slide. One end of the switching slide bar 31 is the loose end and the other end is the tight end. The width of the loose end is greater than that of the tight end, and the width of the loose end gradually decreases to transition to the tight end. Specifically, the transition can be achieved through the inclined surface 311 or the arc surface.
[0083] Preferably, a stop shaft is provided on the lower end face of the slider near the end of the switching slide bar 31, and one side wall of the switching slide bar 31 is opposite to the stop shaft, and the slider is pushed to slide by abutting against the stop shaft.
[0084] When the switching slider 31 slides to the point where the loose end is opposite to the stop shaft, the side wall of the loose end abuts against the stop shaft and pushes the slider away from the fixed clamp 21 to move the movable clamp 25 away from the fixed clamp 21 to release the CQFP component 4.
[0085] When the switching slider 31 slides to the tight end and faces the stop shaft, since the width of the tight end becomes smaller, it does not contact the stop shaft. The slider is driven by the elastic force of the clamping spring 23 to slide towards the fixed clamping member 21, so as to drive the movable clamping member 25 to move towards the fixed clamping member 21 to clamp the CQFP component 4.
[0086] Further, the upper surface of the end of the switching slider 31 far from the loose end at the tight end is engraved with the word "loose", and the upper surface of the end of the switching slider 31 far from the tight end at the loose end is engraved with the word "tight". When the switching slider 31 slides to make the side wall of the loose end abut against the stop shaft, the end of the tight end far from the loose end extends out of one side of the substrate, showing the word "loose", to prompt the operator that the movable clamping member 25 has released the CQFP component 4; when the switching slider 31 slides to make the side wall of the tight end abut against the stop shaft, the end of the loose end far from the tight end extends out of one side of the substrate, showing the word "tight", to prompt the operator that the movable clamping member 25 has clamped the CQFP component 4.
[0087] The fixture of the present invention includes two working states: the initial relaxation state and the clamping state. For the initial relaxation state, refer to FIGS. 13 to 15. The extreme position of one end of the switching slider 31 shows the engraved word "loose", the stop shaft abuts against the side wall of the wide end of the switching slider 31, and the clamping spring 23 is in the extreme compression state. At this time, refer to Figure 12 、 13 , the pin stand height of the CQFP component 4 is L1, and the distance between the opposing stop edges of the fixed clamping member 21 and the movable clamping member 25 is L. It is required that L2 < L < L2 + 2*L3 - 2d, where d is the thickness of the stop edge, L2 is the body size of the CQFP component 4, and L3 is the shoulder width size of the CQFP component 4 after forming. The value of L should ensure that the CQFP component 4 can be easily placed between the fixed clamping member 21 and the movable clamping member 25, and the fixed clamping member 21 and the movable clamping member 25 do not interfere with the pins of the CQFP component 4.
[0088] After the CQFP component 4 is placed, manually slide the switching slider 31 to the extreme position at the other end, refer to Figures 16 to 18 . During this process, the stop shaft slides along the inclined surface 311 of the side wall of the switching slider 31 until it disengages from the side wall of the switching slider 31. Since the stop shaft is no longer restricted, the elastic force of the clamping spring 23 is released and it elongates. The movable clamping member 25 moves along the T-shaped slider 24 towards the fixed clamping member 21 under the action of the elastic force until it cooperates with the fixed clamping member 21 to clamp the CQFP component 4. At this time, it is in the clamping state, and the switching slider 31 shows the identification word "tight". The transitional design of the inclined surfaces 311 at both the wide and narrow ends of the switching slider 31 can make the clamping process of the CQFP component 4 gradually receive force, avoiding potential quality hazards caused by excessive impact force to the CQFP component 4.
[0089] The working process of the present invention is further described below:
[0090] 1. First, adjust the height of the fixture printed circuit board 13 by adjusting screw 131. According to the pin height dimension L1 of CQFP component 4, adjust the height of the fixture printed circuit board 13 so that the distance between the bottom plane of the pin of CQFP component 4 and the upper surface of the fixture printed circuit board 13 is within the range of 0.2mm to 0.3mm, which makes it easy to use tools to correct the offset and warping of the pin of CQFP component 4.
[0091] 2. Confirm that the clamp is in the initial relaxed working state. Switch the slide bar 31 to the extreme position at one end, revealing the engraved word "relaxed".
[0092] 3. Place the CQFP component 4. Place the CQFP component 4 on the first bearing surface 211 and the second bearing surface of the fixed clamp 21 and the movable clamp 25.
[0093] 4. Clamp the CQFP component 4. Push the switching slide bar 31 to its extreme position at the other end. At this time, the four sides of the movable clamping member 25 and the fixed clamping member 21 clamp the four sides of the CQFP component 4, thereby clamping the CQFP component 4. The word "tight" is then visible on the switching slide bar 31.
[0094] 5. Trim the 4-pin of the CQFP component. Refer to the process pad position on the printed circuit board 13 of the tooling and use tools to trim any warped or offset pins.
[0095] 6. Loosen CQFP component 4. Slide the switching lever 31 to bring the flower cutting lever to the extreme position at the other end, so that the fixture is in the initial loosened state, revealing the engraved word "Loose". Use a vacuum pen to remove CQFP component 4.
[0096] This invention allows for manual switching between the initial and clamping states of the fixture by setting the limit position of the sliding lever 31. The operation is simple, fast, and accurate. The clamping spring 23 releases its force to push the movable clamping member 25, achieving constant clamping force on the CQFP component 4. The four sides and bottom of the CQFP component 4 are selected as the clamping and placement surfaces, resulting in a large clamping area. The two sides of the T-shaped slider 24 that mate with the sliding member have dimensional allowances, allowing the sliding member to rotate slightly. This ensures that the movable clamping member 25 adapts to the shape of the CQFP component 4, resulting in high clamping reliability. Markings are engraved at both ends of the switching lever 31 for intuitive judgment of the tightness state.
[0097] The present invention has a simple overall structure, is easy to use, has high operating efficiency, saves effort, has low cost, and provides stable clamping quality. It adopts a simple and efficient method to quickly position and clamp CQFP components 4, which can quickly correct the warped or offset pins of CQFP components 4 after forming. Its superiority is even more evident when correcting the pins of CQFP components 4.
[0098] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Even if various changes are made to the present invention, if these changes fall within the scope of the claims of the present invention and their equivalents, they shall still fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
