Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a through-hole three-dimensional solder paste printing device, belonging to the technical field of PCB printing equipment for electronic product manufacturing. Background Art
[0002] Electronics manufacturing technology, commonly known as surface mount technology (SMT), primarily involves three steps: solder paste printing, component placement, and soldering. Solder paste printing is the most critical step in the SMT process, accounting for 60-70% of defects in electronic product manufacturing. The general steps for solder paste printing include installing a metal stencil, applying solder paste to the stencil, installing a scraper, importing the PCB, imprinting the solder paste, separating the printed parts, and exporting the PCB. The specific working principle involves first creating a laser metal stencil based on the PCB pad layout. Holes are then created in the laser metal stencil where through-hole printing is required. Solder paste printing is then completed according to the general solder paste printing process, transferring the solder paste to the PCB pads and through-holes.
[0003] Compared to conventional SMT processes, through-hole reflow processes use significantly more solder paste—approximately 30 times more. Traditional through-hole solder paste printing processes primarily employ two methods: increasing solder paste deposits and increasing the amount of masked solder paste printed. Both methods can result in significant waste, and the amount of solder paste in the through-holes can still be insufficient, resulting in weak solder joints and reduced electronic product reliability. Furthermore, through-hole solder paste printing is prone to excessive residue, making cleanup difficult and leading to defects such as cold solder joints, bridging, and tombstoning.

[0040] The present invention will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0043] Example 1
[0044] In this embodiment, the X direction refers to the direction parallel to the production line where the solder paste printing device is located, also known as "left and right", the Y direction refers to the direction perpendicular to the production line where the solder paste printing device is located, also known as "front and back", and the Z direction refers to the direction perpendicular to the production line where the solder paste printing device is located, also known as "up and down".
[0045] like Figure 1-6 As shown, this embodiment introduces a through-hole 3D solder paste printing device, comprising a frame 1, a print head system 2, a scraper 3, a metal template fast fixing mechanism 4, a flexible metal template 5, a negative pressure support chamber 6, a control and storage chamber 7, a Y-axis precision traction system 8, and an arch 9. The frame 1 is divided into two parts: the upper part is the printing chamber, and the lower part is the control and storage chamber 7. Within the printing chamber, the arch 9, the Y-axis precision traction system 8, the print head system 2, the scraper 3, the metal template fast fixing mechanism 4, the flexible metal template 5, and the negative pressure support chamber 6 are installed in order from top to bottom.
[0046] like Figure 1 and 2As shown, the print head system 2 is mounted on the arch 9 by three bolts. The two ends of the arch 9 are mounted on Y-direction sliding guide rails 81 on the Y-direction precision traction system 8, forming a fixed connection with the print head system traction screw nut 84. The two Y-direction sliding guide rails 81 are respectively mounted on the left and right sides of the printing chamber in the upper half of the frame 1 by the guide rail support pins 83. A motor 86 drives the Y-direction traction ball screw 82 to rotate through a coupling 85. This in turn drives the arch 9 through the print head system traction screw nut 84 to precisely move forward and backward along the Y direction, thereby driving the print head system 2 to precisely move forward and backward along the Y direction, and in turn driving the scraper 3 to slide back and forth along the flexible metal template 5 along with the print head system 2.
[0047] like Figure 3 As shown, the printing head system 2 includes a printing head system body 21, a scraper head Z-direction fixed beam 22, a forward scraper head lifting cylinder 23, a backward scraper head lifting cylinder 24, a scraper head frame 25, a scraper head Z-direction precise traction system 26, and a printing head mounting hole 27.
[0048] Furthermore, the print head mounting holes 27 are provided on both sides of the print head system body 21, the arch 9 passes through the print head mounting holes 27, and the print head system body 21 is fixed to the arch 9 by bolts. The scraper head Z-direction precision traction system 26 is fixed to the print head system body 21, and the scraper head Z-direction precision traction system 26 includes a traction motor 261, a Z-direction micro-traction ball screw 262, a Z-direction sliding guide 263, and a traction nut 264. The traction nut 264 is fixedly connected to the scraper head Z-direction fixed beam 22. The traction motor 261 drives the Z-direction micro-traction ball screw 262 to rotate through the coupling 85, thereby driving the traction nut 264 to lead the scraper head Z-direction fixed beam 22 to perform precise Z-direction up and down movement along the upper half of the Z-direction sliding guide 263.
[0049] The forward scraper head lifting cylinder 23 moves up and down in the Z direction precisely along with the scraper head Z-direction fixed crossbeam 22, and also moves up and down in the Z direction precisely along with the scraper head frame 25. As the cylinder rod of the forward scraper head lifting cylinder 23 extends and retracts, the scraper head frame 25 also moves up and down rapidly in the Z direction along the lower half of the Z-direction sliding guide rail 263.
[0050] like Figure 3 As shown, the scraper head frame 25 includes a triangular fixing frame 251, a locking bolt 252, a main scraper fixing column 253, a floating scraper hole fixing pin 254, an auxiliary scraper fixing column 255, a front scraper head group fixing beam 256, and a rear scraper head group fixing beam 257.
[0051] The angle formed between the main scraper fixing column 253 and the auxiliary scraper fixing column 255 and the front scraper head assembly fixing beam 256 does not necessarily have to be 90° and can be adjusted as needed before being locked and secured with the locking bolt 252. This ensures that the scraper 3 and the flexible metal template 5 form an adjustable solder paste printing propulsion angle, rather than the scraper 3's own scraping angle, thereby improving the thrust force for solder paste printing. The rear scraper head assembly fixing beam 257 adopts the same structure as the front scraper head assembly fixing beam 256 and is also equipped with the main scraper fixing column 253 and the auxiliary scraper fixing column 255.
[0052] like Figure 3 As shown, both the main scraper fixing column 253 and the auxiliary scraper fixing column 255 are provided with a floating scraper hole fixing pin 254, and each floating scraper hole fixing pin 254 is to be installed with a scraper 3. When printing solder paste, the scraper installed on the auxiliary scraper fixing column 255 maintains relatively loose contact with the flexible metal template 5, ensuring that there is more solder paste residue when printing solder paste, and the scraper installed on the main scraper fixing column 253 maintains relatively close contact with the flexible metal template 5, ensuring that the second solder paste printing is performed in the same printing stroke, and providing a stronger thrust to the solder paste, further pushing the solder paste into the PCB through-hole, and pushing the solder paste into the PCB through-hole twice in a single stroke through the overprinting process, thereby increasing the amount of solder paste printed in the through-hole.
[0053] The two scrapers installed on the front scraper head group fixed beam 256 push the solder paste to roll forward along the Y direction during solder paste printing; the two scrapers installed on the rear scraper head group fixed beam 257 push the solder paste to roll backward along the Y direction during solder paste printing.
[0054] like Figure 3 and 4 As shown, the scraper 3 is inserted into the floating scraper hole fixing pin 254 through the floating scraper fixing hole 31. Because it is fixed with a single fixing pin, the scraper will rotate around the floating scraper hole fixing pin 254, allowing floating adjustment of the gap between the scraper 3 and the flexible metal template 5 during solder paste printing. The scraper floating fine-tuning paddle 35 is also inserted into the floating scraper hole fixing pin 254 through the scraper floating fine-tuning paddle 35 fixing hole. Then, by adjusting the extended length of the two floating fine-tuning studs 353, the parallelism of the scraper blade 32 and the floating fine-tuning paddle body can be adjusted, ensuring the up and down floating range of the scraper 3 on the flexible metal template 5 and ensuring that the contact gap between the scraper 3 and the flexible metal template 5 is not too large. Of course, the scraper floating fine-tuning paddle 35 is an optional module, only suitable for occasions with special requirements for the gap between the scraper 3 and the flexible metal template 5.
[0055] like Figure 6The negative pressure support chamber 6 includes a negative pressure chamber 61, a sealing silicone felt 62, an exhaust hole 63, a sealing cover 64, a cylinder connector 65, a support cylinder 66, an adjustable magnetic support rod 67, an adjustable magnetic support block 68 and a slag discharge hole 69. After the PCB is introduced into the printing device through the transmission guide rail, it stops directly below the flexible metal template 5. The negative pressure chamber 61 is quickly lifted up by the support of the support cylinder 66. The adjustable magnetic support rod 67 and the adjustable magnetic support block 68 distributed inside the negative pressure chamber 61 rise together with the negative pressure chamber 61, lifting the PCB and making close contact with the flexible metal template 5. The PCB's pads and their corresponding openings on the flexible metal template 5 are completely overlapped, and the negative pressure chamber 61 and the flexible metal template 5 are formed into a closed cavity through the sealing silicone felt 62. As the scraper 3 squeezes, the flexible metal template 5 will bend and deform elastically downward, squeezing the enclosed cavity, and then exhausting the air through the exhaust hole 63. Once the exhaust is completed, the sealing cover 64 will automatically close under the action of negative pressure, thereby turning the enclosed cavity into a negative pressure cavity, creating a strong suction force on the solder paste remaining in the PCB through-hole, allowing the solder paste to further pass through the PCB through-hole, thereby increasing the vertical printing volume of the through-hole solder paste printing.
[0056] By adjusting the position and density of the adjustable magnetic support rods 67 and the adjustable magnetic support blocks 68, the pressure exerted by the scraper 3 on the PCB during solder paste printing can be evenly distributed, preventing uneven solder paste thickness during printing. Solder slag and contaminants generated during the printing process will also fall directly into the negative pressure chamber 61 and can be regularly removed through the slag discharge holes 69, preventing contamination of other parts of the printing device and promoting environmental protection.
[0057] like Figure 5 As shown, the metal template fast fixing mechanism 4 mainly includes a C-shaped steel channel 41, a locking cylinder 42, a locking rubber washer 43, a C-shaped steel channel 41 sliding guide rail, and a C-shaped steel channel 41 guide screw. The flexible metal template 5 is installed in the C-shaped steel channel 41.
[0058] The C-shaped steel groove 41 guide screw is used to pull the C-shaped steel groove 41 to slide slightly on the sliding guide rail of the C-shaped steel groove 41 to ensure that the gap between a pair of C-shaped steel grooves 41 is equal to the width of the outer frame of the flexible metal template 5. By correcting the sliding displacement of the C-shaped steel groove 41 on the sliding guide rail of the C-shaped steel groove 41, it is ensured that the soldering pads of the PCB and their corresponding openings on the flexible metal template 5 are completely overlapped. Then, the locking cylinder 42 is started, and the flexible metal template 5 is quickly pressed with the extended end of the cylinder together with the locking rubber gasket 43 located thereon to ensure that the flexible metal template 5 can be firmly fixed in the current position.
[0059] At this point, the through-hole 3D solder paste printing device is fully adjusted. To print solder paste, simply add an appropriate amount of solder paste to the flexible metal template 5, insert a blank PCB into the device, and turn it on to complete automatic printing. After printing is completed, the PCB transport device will remove the printed PCB and simultaneously import another new blank PCB. The scraper will then repeat the above process on its return stroke to complete the through-hole 3D solder paste printing. Using this device for solder paste printing, one round trip of the scraper can print two PCBs.
[0060] According to the traditional layout method of the solder paste printer, an automatic template cleaning device and a PCB automatic input and output device can be added to the negative pressure support chamber 66 and the metal template quick fixing mechanism 44. Adding these devices on the basis of this embodiment is only a reasonable extension of this embodiment.
[0061] Example 2
[0062] When performing non-through-hole solder paste printing, only the main scraper fixing column 253 can be used to install the scraper, and the auxiliary scraper fixing column 255 does not need to be installed with a scraper, so that single scraper printing of solder paste can be performed directly, thereby meeting the needs of products with low requirements on solder paste printing accuracy or non-through-hole solder paste printing.
[0063] The above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present invention. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present invention.
