Technical Field

[0001] The invention specifically relates to a surface treatment process for an LED lamp panel. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of LED lighting technology, LED light boards, as one of the core components, are mainly composed of PCB boards and have been widely used in various lighting products. In order to ensure the performance stability and reliability of LED light boards in long-term use, its surface treatment process is particularly important. Good surface treatment can not only improve the welding quality, but also effectively prevent the influence of external environmental factors (such as moisture, dust, etc.) on the circuit and extend the service life of the product. The traditional surface treatment process of LED light boards mainly includes the following steps: substrate production, silk screen printing solder resist and tin spraying. Since LED light boards are generally provided with various functional through holes to meet the positioning, installation and other functions during the processing process, these functional holes are prone to cause tin beads to enter the functional holes during the tin spraying process, which in turn causes poor product quality and even functional defects.

[0003] The present invention is just produced based on the above-mentioned shortcomings. Summary of the invention

[0009] S3, screen printing plugging, using a plugging machine to inject plugging ink into the designated through-hole and plugging hole at the through-hole position, and make the upper surface of the plugging ink higher than the upper surface of the substrate;

[0010] S4, screen printing panel, use automatic spray machine and screen printing equipment to evenly apply liquid solder resist on the upper surface of the substrate, and use screen printing equipment to print the pre-designed pattern on the upper surface of the substrate;

[0012] S6. Spray tin. Use a tin spray machine to cover the copper pad of the substrate with a uniform layer of solder.

[0013] The LED light board surface treatment process as described above further includes the following steps between steps S4 and S5:

[0014] S4-1, pre-baking, the baking temperature is 65°C to 85°C, and the baking time is 45min to 50min;

[0015] S4-2, exposure and development, placing the substrate printed with solder resist into an ultraviolet UV exposure machine to cause a chemical reaction in the photoinitiator in the solder resist to solidify the solder resist, and then removing the solder resist in the unexposed part through a development process to expose the copper pad to be soldered;

[0016] In the above-mentioned surface treatment process of the LED lamp panel, in step S3, the viscosity of the plugging ink is 400 dpa.s, and in step S4, the viscosity of the ink during screen printing is 110 dpa.s.

[0017] The above-mentioned surface treatment process of the LED light board is characterized in that: the plugging ink adopts the industrial photosensitive solder resist material of model RS-2000BKM (PF):

[0018] The above-mentioned LED lamp panel surface treatment process, after step S5, further includes the following steps:

[0019] S5-1, character post-bake, bake the substrate, the baking process is: first bake at 60℃ for 60min, then bake at 70℃ for 30min, then bake at 90℃ for 30min, then bake at 110℃ for 30min, and then bake at 150℃ for 60min.

[0020] The above-mentioned LED light board surface treatment process, before step S1, further includes the following steps:

[0021] S0-1, grinding, grinding and removing excess material on the surface of the substrate to achieve the required flatness and thickness requirements;

[0022] S0-2, pickling, using a 4% concentration acid solution to remove oxides or impurities on the surface of the substrate;

[0025] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0026] The surface treatment process of the LED lamp board provided by the present invention has a concise and clear process flow. In the process flow, a plugging pad can be first placed under the substrate, and the through hole of the substrate is connected to the corresponding plugged hole, so that the plugging ink can enter the through hole and the plugged hole in the subsequent steps. In this way, after the substrate leaves the plugging pad, the through hole is filled with plugging ink, and at the same time, the plugging ink at the lower end of the through hole protrudes downward, and the plugging ink at the upper end of the through hole protrudes upward. In this way, in the subsequent ink curing process, the originally protruding material shrinks due to the ink curing, so that the upper and lower ends of the plugging ink in the final through hole are as flush as possible with the upper and lower surfaces of the substrate, avoiding material loss and material concavity, which leads to the tin-spraying material entering the through hole in the subsequent tin-spraying process, and then the tin beads of the tin-spraying can be prevented from entering the through hole, thereby improving the quality and stability of the product.

[0032] This embodiment provides a surface treatment process for an LED lamp panel. Figure 1 and Figure 2 , including the following steps:

[0033] A surface treatment process for an LED light panel, the method and steps are as follows:

[0036] S0-2, pickling, using a 4% concentration acid solution to remove oxides or impurities on the surface of the substrate 1, wherein the selectable solutions include sulfuric acid (H2SO4), which is often used to remove oxides on the copper surface and has strong corrosiveness and oxidizing ability; hydrochloric acid (HCl): suitable for removing rust and other metal oxides, and also has a certain effect on copper; nitric acid (HNO3), mainly used to remove organic pollutants and certain metal oxides, and also has strong oxidizing properties; mixed acid: sometimes a mixture of multiple acids is used according to specific needs to achieve a better cleaning effect.

When the volcanic ash particles come into contact with the surface of the copper foil, they will remove the oxides and other impurities on the surface by slight friction.
