Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of circuit board welding, in particular to welding equipment for circuit boards with a leak welding repair function. Background Art
[0002] As the core of electronic components, circuit boards are an important link in the manufacturing process of electronic products. Electrical components are integrated onto circuit boards through welding processes. Therefore, high requirements are placed on welding processes.
[0003] Among them, in order to ensure the manufacturing quality of high-end smart remote controls, such as air mouse remote controls, somatosensory remote controls, and smart remote controls (somatosensory, voice, touch, infrared learning, etc.), it is necessary to ensure the manufacturing accuracy during the circuit board welding process. At present, when welding circuit boards, semi-automatic welding is mostly used. The most important process is the circuit board leak repair welding detection process, which relies heavily on manual labor. Therefore, not only can the manufacturing efficiency not be guaranteed, but the manufacturing quality is also affected to a certain extent. During the welding process, problems such as cold welding and false welding are easily caused, and the efficiency of manual inspection is low.
[0004] In addition, due to the influence of various unstable factors in the welding process and the complex layout of the circuit board surface, conventional detection devices can only adopt multi-modular integration for comparative analysis, which greatly affects the detection efficiency. Summary of the invention
[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a circuit board welding device with a leak repair function to solve the problems raised in the prior art.
[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following technical solutions: The welding equipment includes a conveying device, a forming device and an adjusting device. The conveying device is used to convey the circuit board. The conveying device and the forming device are tightly connected. The adjusting device and the conveying device are tightly connected. The conveying device includes a conveyor. There are two conveyors. The conveying directions of the two conveyors are ninety degrees. The conveyor is used to convey the carrier board, and the carrier board is used to fix the circuit board.
[0007] The conveying device serves as the main support body and is used to install other devices. Multi-station welding is performed through two vertically arranged conveyors. The conveyor is used to transport the carrier plate, and the carrier plate is used to quickly clamp and fix the circuit board. The forming device is used to weld the local position on the circuit board. After welding, the solder joints are detected through the adjustment device, and the local leaked positions are repaired. At the same time, the cold-welded parts are re-welded to improve the welding quality.
[0008] Furthermore, multiple forming devices are provided along the conveying direction of the two conveyors. The forming devices include a wire feeder and a laser head. The wire feeder and the laser head are respectively fastened to the adjacent conveyors, and the laser head emits light toward the contact position between the welding wire of the wire feeder and the circuit board.
[0009] The wire feeder is fixed on the conveyor and is used to transport the welding wire. When the welding wire is transported to the position to be welded on the circuit board, the laser head melts the welding wire at this location. The melted welding wire forms a welding spot here. Under the action of surface tension, the outer side tends to be spherical. During the continuous welding process, the surface curvature tends to be consistent.
[0010] Furthermore, the adjusting device includes a detection component, the front conveyor is located at the welding station, the rear conveyor is located at the detection station, the detection component is located at the detection station, the detection component includes a light-emitting board, a mounting board, a photosensitive layer, a main electrode and an auxiliary electrode, the light-emitting board and the mounting board are tightly connected, the light-emitting board emits an optical path toward the solder joint on the circuit board, the photosensitive layer and the mounting board are tightly connected, the photosensitive layer is located on the reflected optical path of the solder joint, a main electrode and an auxiliary electrode are provided on the photosensitive layer, a plurality of auxiliary electrodes are provided on one side of the main electrode, the plurality of auxiliary electrodes are equally spaced along the length direction of the photosensitive layer, the main electrode and the auxiliary electrodes constitute a detection circuit, and the plurality of detection circuits are connected in parallel.
[0011] After welding is completed, the circuit board enters the inspection station along with the carrier board. When the laser melts the welding wire, welding liquid is formed, and the welding liquid falls off the welding wire and falls on the welding point to form a smooth curved surface. Parallel light is emitted through the light-emitting board, irradiating the spherical surface of the welding point and reflecting. The reflected light irradiates the photosensitive layer, stimulating electron-hole pairs to participate in conduction. At this time, the detection circuit is turned on. During the continuous automatic welding process, the current in the detection circuit tends to be stable. If the welding is poor, false welding and fake welding are formed, the curvature of the smooth surface of the welding point increases or decreases compared with the curvature of the standard welding point. When the surface curvature increases, the landing point of the reflected light on the photosensitive layer is located far away from the main electrode. Due to the extension of the reflected light path, the light loss increases, the light intensity decreases, and the current of the detection circuit weakens; conversely, when the surface curvature decreases, the current of the detection circuit increases.
[0012] Furthermore, two main electrodes are provided, and the two main electrodes are symmetrically distributed about the light-emitting board, and the light-emitting board is circular.
[0013] The light-emitting board adopts a circular design to adapt to the shape of the solder joint. Through two main electrodes, located on both sides of the light-emitting board, it is convenient to perform curvature detection on the entire solder joint.
[0014] Furthermore, the adjusting device also includes a driving component, which is located at the detection station, the driving component is fastened to the conveyor, and the driving component is used to drive the installation plate to move.
[0015] By setting a driving component, when performing inspection of solder joints of different sizes, the mounting plate is moved by the driving component to improve the inspection accuracy.
[0016] Furthermore, the driving assembly includes a support frame, a rack and a driving motor. The support frame and the conveyor are tightly connected. A guide groove is provided on the support frame. The rack and the guide groove are slidably connected. The guide groove is arranged in an arc shape. The driving motor and the support frame are tightly connected. A gear is provided at the output end of the driving motor. The gear and the rack tooth surfaces are meshing.
[0017] The support frame is fixed by a conveyor, the mounting plate is fixed on the rack, the driving motor is fixed on the support frame, the output end drives the gear to rotate, and the gear and rack are meshed, thereby driving the rack to slide along the guide groove. The mounting plate is linked with the rack, and the angle is adjusted to detect welding spots of different sizes, thereby improving the detection efficiency.
[0018] Furthermore, the conveying device also includes a reversing component, which is located at the end of the conveying stroke of the front conveyor. The reversing component includes a reversing cylinder, which is tightly connected to the front conveyor. A push plate is provided at the output end of the reversing cylinder. The displacement output direction of the reversing cylinder is the same as the conveying direction of the rear conveyor.
[0019] Through two conveyors, a multi-station setting is adopted, in which a welding station and an inspection station are set respectively. The front conveyor is located at the welding station, and the rear conveyor is located at the inspection station. The multi-station setting improves the efficiency of automated continuous welding. The conveying directions of the two conveyors are arranged vertically on the horizontal plane. The output displacement of the reversing cylinder drives the push plate to move linearly, and the carrier plate is pushed from the front conveyor to the rear conveyor, so as to directly carry out inspection, thereby improving the efficiency of automated welding and inspection.
[0020] As an optimization, the conveying device further includes a guide frame, and the guide frames are respectively arranged on both sides along the conveying direction of the conveyor. The guide frames are arranged to guide the movement of the carrier plate, thereby affecting the welding accuracy.
[0021] As an optimization, the distance between the two guide frames arranged in the same direction is adapted to the width of the carrier. By setting the distance between the guide frames, the carrier can ensure the accuracy of the forward movement during the forward movement, thereby avoiding repeated positioning and affecting the processing efficiency.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows: when the laser melts the welding wire, welding liquid is formed, the welding liquid falls off the welding wire and falls on the welding point to form a smooth curved surface, and parallel light is emitted through the light-emitting board, irradiated on the spherical surface of the welding point, and reflected, and the reflected light is irradiated on the photosensitive layer to excite electron-hole pairs to participate in conduction. At this time, the detection circuit is turned on, and during the continuous automatic welding process, the current on the detection circuit tends to be stable. If the welding is poor, a cold weld or a false weld is formed, so that the curvature of the smooth surface of the welding point increases or decreases compared with the curvature of the standard welding point. When the surface curvature increases, the landing point of the reflected light on the photosensitive layer is located at a position far away from the main electrode. Due to the extension of the reflected light path, the light loss increases, the light intensity decreases, and the current of the detection circuit weakens; conversely, when the surface curvature decreases, the current of the detection circuit increases; the light-emitting board adopts a circular design to adapt to the shape of the welding point, and is located on both sides of the light-emitting board through two main electrodes, so as to facilitate the curvature detection of the entire welding point.

[0028] The conveying device 1 is used as the main support body for installing other devices. Multi-station welding is performed through two vertically arranged conveyors 11. The conveyor 11 is used to convey the carrier 12, and the carrier 12 is used to quickly clamp and fix the circuit board 4. The forming device 2 is used to weld the local position on the circuit board 4. After welding, the welding point is detected by the adjustment device 3, and the local welding leak position is repaired. At the same time, the cold welded part is re-welded to improve the welding quality.
[0029] Furthermore, multiple forming devices 2 are provided along the conveying direction of the two conveyors 11. The forming device 2 includes a wire feeder 21 and a laser head 22. The wire feeder 21 and the laser head 22 are respectively fastened to the adjacent conveyors 11. The laser head 22 emits light toward the contact portion between the welding wire of the wire feeder 21 and the circuit board 4.
[0030] The wire feeder 21 is fixed on the conveyor 11 and is used to transport the welding wire. When the welding wire is transported to the position to be welded on the circuit board 4, the welding wire at this location is melted by the laser head 22. The melted welding wire forms a welding spot here. Under the action of surface tension, the outer side tends to be spherical. During the continuous welding process, the surface curvature tends to be consistent.

[0032] After welding is completed, the circuit board 4 enters the detection station along with the carrier board 12. When the laser melts the welding wire, welding liquid is formed, and the welding liquid falls off the welding wire and falls on the welding point to form a smooth curved surface. Parallel light is emitted through the light-emitting board 311, irradiating the spherical surface of the welding point and reflecting. The reflected light irradiates the photosensitive layer 313, exciting electron-hole pairs to participate in conduction. At this time, the detection circuit is turned on. During the continuous automatic welding process, the current on the detection circuit tends to be stable. If the welding is poor, a virtual solder joint or a false solder joint is formed, so that the curvature of the smooth surface of the welding point increases or decreases compared with the curvature of the standard welding point. When the surface curvature increases, the landing point of the reflected light on the photosensitive layer 313 is located at a position far away from the main electrode 314.

[0036] By providing the driving assembly 32 , when inspecting solder joints of different sizes, the mounting plate 312 is moved by the driving assembly 32 , thereby improving the inspection accuracy.
[0037] Furthermore, the driving assembly 32 includes a support frame 321, a rack 322 and a driving motor 324. The support frame 321 is firmly connected to the conveyor 11.
