Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of TR components, and in particular to a TR component packaging device and method. Background Art

[0002] The TR component is the core component of the entire radar system and is closely related to the performance of the radar. It is a multi-chip micro-assembly component with a complex structure, high assembly precision requirements, and great manufacturing difficulty, requiring component-level sealing. The TR assembly process includes many aspects of hybrid microcircuit technology and multi-chip assembly technology, such as thin film technology, LTCC multi-layer substrate technology, shell coating technology, micro-assembly technology, packaging technology, etc. Its sealing is mainly guaranteed by high-precision welding mating surfaces, high-quality solderable coatings, reasonable welding fixtures, preferred solder and welding temperature curves, etc.

[0003] Laser sealing has the advantages of high energy density, small heat-affected zone, small welding deformation, good sealing, and high welding efficiency. It is widely used in the packaging of TR components in electronic fields such as aerospace. The high airtightness of laser sealing is crucial to protect the inside of TR components from external environmental erosion and mechanical damage, thereby ensuring good microwave performance and working stability of the product. In the early days of TR component packaging, laser welding had the following problems: oxidation reactions and gas generation during welding, bubbles and inclusions were prone to appear in the weld, resulting in the need for nondestructive testing after welding; the welding area was exposed to a lot of heat and was prone to deformation and residual stress. For this reason, some technology has been developed for laser welding in a vacuum environment. At present, the vacuum environment maintenance time in the existing vacuum laser welding equipment is relatively long, and continuous operation cannot be achieved, which greatly affects the packaging efficiency.

The movable plate and the boss slide downward by their own weight. When the tooling enters the docking hole inside the lower baffle, the second cylinder extends the shaft and drives the closing plate to move forward. The two sets of docking holes are closed by the closing plate. The first cylinder extends the shaft and continues to retract until it retracts to the end of the lower stroke.

After reaching the preset vacuum degree, the first cylinder 17 extends the shaft, and the push plate 19 pushes the second positioning column 20 to insert into the second positioning hole 21 and connect with the movable plate 14. The first cylinder 17 extends the shaft continuously, and the movable plate 14 is positioned with the welding box 4 through the first positioning column 15 and the third positioning hole 32. After a positioning column 15 is inserted into the third positioning hole 32, the first cylinder 17 extends the shaft continuously. When the tool 13 enters the docking hole 36 on the inner wall of the lower baffle 35, the second cylinder 31 extends the shaft and retracts, driving the closing plate 38 to retreat. The first cylinder 17 extends the shaft continuously until the upper wall of the boss 12 abuts against the lower wall of the lower baffle 35. The upper wall of the boss 12 and the lower wall of the lower baffle 35 are sealed by the sealing ring 40. At this time, the tool 13 passes through the docking hole 36 on the inner wall of the upper baffle 34 and extends into the welding cavity.

When the spring 39 is in a free state, the upper edge of the tooling 13 is separated from the docking hole 36 on the inner wall of the upper baffle 34. Part of the air inside the sliding cavity 37 enters the welding cavity. The movable plate 14 and the boss 12 slide downward by their own weight. When the tooling 13 enters the docking hole 36 inside the lower baffle 35, the second cylinder 31 extends its shaft and drives the closing plate 38 to move forward.

The packaged TR component is grabbed by the robot on the left side of the chassis 1 and sent to the corresponding conveying device. The above process is repeated to achieve continuous operation.

[0049] Working principle: The two layers of visual windows 6 are tempered glass and acrylic PMMA plate from front to back respectively. The tempered glass is used to prevent external impact, and the acrylic PMMA plate is used to absorb strong light during laser welding, so that the internal welding process can be seen from the outside. The laser welding head 33 performs laser welding on the connection between the shell and the cover plate according to the preset trajectory. The air pressure sensor 8 is used to detect the vacuum condition inside the welding chamber. The vacuum environment inside the welding chamber is established by extracting air from the inside of the welding chamber through the air pipe 7 through the negative pressure pump 26. When the tooling 13 enters and exits the welding chamber, the inside of the welding chamber is sealed by the closing plate 38, so that the vacuum environment inside the welding chamber does not need to be completely re-established each time welding is performed, and only the air entering from the sliding chamber 37 needs to be sucked away. , which greatly saves the time of vacuum suction and improves work efficiency. The sealing ring 40 is used to keep the sealing inside the welding chamber when the tooling 13 is docked with the docking hole 36. The adsorption state can be released through the elastic force of multiple sets of springs 39 and the deadweight of the movable plate 14 and the boss 12, helping the movable plate 14 to reset downward after welding. Each time the motor 23 rotates, it drives the turntable 11 to rotate a quarter of a turn, that is, it moves a process between the three sets of conveying devices and the welding box 4. The first cylinder 17 can drive the movable plate 14 to rise and fall, and can send the tooling 13 into the welding chamber and drive the tooling 13 to reset to the initial position. The first positioning structure, the second positioning structure and the third positioning structure are all for accurate positioning when the first cylinder 17 drives the tooling 13 to rise and fall.
