Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of printed circuit board manufacturing, in particular to a method, device and equipment for tinning screw posts of a printed circuit board. Background Art

[0002] In the assembly process of electronic products, PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly) is a core component, and its manufacturing quality and efficiency directly affect the performance and reliability of the final product. As a key structure on PCBA for fixing other components or housings, tinning is an important step. Tinning, that is, coating with solder, is intended to enhance the connection strength between the screw column and the screw or other metal parts, ensuring that it is not easy to loosen during long-term use, while providing good electrical conductivity.

[0003] Traditional manual tinning relies on the operator's technical proficiency and physical condition, and it is difficult to achieve fast and continuous operation. In the environment of large-scale production of electronic products, manual operation will significantly slow down the speed of the overall production line and increase production costs; at the same time, manual operation is difficult to ensure that the amount of solder applied each time is completely consistent, which may cause excessive solder in some parts of the screw column, causing waste and may affect the subsequent assembly accuracy; while other parts may have insufficient solder, affecting the firmness and conductivity of the connection. During manual operation, the operator's hands, tools or surrounding environment may become a source of contamination, introducing dust, grease or other impurities. These pollutants may produce poor solder joints during the welding process and reduce the reliability of the product. In addition, solder fumes are also harmful to human health, and manual operation increases the risk of operators being exposed to these harmful substances. Summary of the invention

[0044] The exemplary embodiments of the present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present invention are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present invention can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided in order to enable a more thorough understanding of the present invention and to enable the scope of the present invention to be fully communicated to those skilled in the art.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for tinning a screw column of a printed circuit board, comprising:

[0046] Step 11, providing a printed circuit board, wherein a plurality of screw columns are provided on the printed circuit board;

[0052] In this embodiment, a printed circuit board to be tinned with screw columns is first prepared. The printed circuit board is a component of an electronic product, and a plurality of screw columns are pre-designed and installed thereon. The screw columns are used for subsequent installation of other electronic components or mechanical fixation to ensure the stability and reliability of the entire electronic system. Relevant information about the solder paste used for the printed circuit board is obtained through professional testing equipment or software tools. The solder paste data includes physical and chemical property parameters such as the composition of the solder paste (such as the proportion of metals such as tin, lead, and silver), viscosity, and melting point. Different solder paste properties will affect the quality and effect of tinning. For example, viscosity will affect the fluidity and coating uniformity of the solder paste, and the melting point will determine the control range of the heating temperature. Using high The high-precision scanning measurement equipment measures multiple screw posts on the printed circuit board; the coordinate data is used to determine the precise position of each screw post on the printed circuit board, expressed in the form of two-dimensional coordinates; the contour data describes the shape, size, surface features and other information of the screw post; the coordinate data and contour data provide precise positioning information for the operation of the tinning equipment, ensuring that the solder paste can be accurately coated on each screw post to avoid problems such as tin leakage and tin bias; the obtained screw post contour data and solder paste data are comprehensively analyzed, and the parameters such as the amount of solder paste, coating speed, coating pressure and other parameters required for each screw post are calculated based on the shape, size and surface features of the screw post, combined with the viscosity, particle size and other characteristics of the solder paste. These parameters Together they constitute the solder paste supply data; through calculation and analysis, the supply parameters that are most suitable for the current screw column and solder paste combination are determined to ensure that the solder paste can be evenly and appropriately coated on the screw column, thereby improving the quality and consistency of tinning; the tinning equipment is equipped with a special heating device, which accurately controls the temperature of the heating device based on the previously acquired solder paste data, so that the solder paste reaches a suitable heating state; at the same time, a temperature sensor is used to monitor the temperature of the solder paste in real time, and the temperature data is fed back to the control system; the appropriate heating temperature can ensure that the solder paste has good fluidity and coating performance, and through precise temperature control and real-time monitoring, the solder paste can be kept in the best state during the coating process to avoid deterioration of the solder paste due to excessively high temperature or too low temperature Leading to problems such as insufficient fluidity; the workbench of the tinning equipment can be accurately translated according to the acquired temperature data and coordinate data; the temperature data ensures that the coating operation is carried out under appropriate temperature conditions, while the coordinate data guides the workbench to move each screw column on the printed circuit board in turn to just under the coating device; the coating device accurately controls parameters such as the supply amount, coating speed and coating pressure of the solder paste based on the solder paste supply data calculated previously, and evenly coats the solder paste on each screw column; through precise workbench translation and coating device control, efficient and precise tinning of multiple screw columns on the printed circuit board is achieved, ensuring that each screw column can obtain a good tinning effect to meet the quality and performance requirements of electronic products.

[0053] The above-mentioned embodiment proposed by the present invention solves the problems of low tinning efficiency, uneven coating of tin liquid and easy pollution of printed circuit board screw columns, realizes rapid and uniform tinning of screw columns, improves production efficiency and reduces pollution.

[0054] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, step 12 may include:

[0055] Step 121: acquiring solder paste data of the printed circuit board according to the design model of the printed circuit board, wherein the solder paste data includes at least one of composition data, melting point data, and viscosity data of the solder paste.

[0056] In this embodiment, the design model of the printed circuit board is a digital file generated in the electronic design process, which contains the detailed structure, layout, electrical connection and other information of the printed circuit board; common design model file formats include Gerber files, ODB++ files, etc., which are usually generated by professional electronic design automation (EDA) software; the design model is the basis for the manufacture and assembly of printed circuit boards, and accurately describes various parameters of the circuit board; in this process, the design model is the source of obtaining solder paste data, because different circuit board designs have different requirements for the characteristics of solder paste; the specific way to obtain solder paste data includes extracting from the design model, or obtaining from reference design documents and specifications. For some areas with specific process requirements, the design model will mark the need to use solder paste with specific composition, melting point or viscosity; in addition to the design model itself, the relevant design documents also contain requirements for solder paste; for example, the design specification will clearly point out that in order to ensure the performance and reliability of the circuit board, a solder paste with a specific composition or melting point is required; standards and specifications will make recommendations on the selection of solder paste according to different application scenarios and circuit board types. For example, for high-density interconnect (HDI) circuit boards, low-viscosity solder paste is required to ensure uniform coating;

[0057] The composition of solder paste usually includes metal elements such as tin, lead, silver, copper, and additives such as flux; for example, the common composition of solder paste is a eutectic alloy of 63% tin and 37% lead, or lead-free solder paste contains 96.5% tin, 3% silver and 0.5% copper; different ingredients will affect the electrical properties, mechanical properties and welding quality of solder paste; for example, silver-containing solder paste has better conductivity and oxidation resistance, but the cost is relatively high; lead-free solder paste meets environmental protection requirements, but the welding process needs to be adjusted accordingly; the melting point refers to the temperature at which the solder paste changes from solid to liquid. Different types of solder paste have different melting points. For example, the melting point of lead solder paste is generally around 183°C, while the melting point of lead-free solder paste is usually between 217-221°C; the melting point is an important parameter to be considered when selecting solder paste, which determines the heating temperature during the welding process. If the melting point is too high, the welding time will be too long, increasing the risk of component damage; if the melting point is too low, the solder joint will become loose during subsequent use. Viscosity reflects the flow properties of solder paste, generally expressed in Pa·s. Different types of solder paste have different viscosity ranges. Viscosity directly affects the coating effect of solder paste. Appropriate viscosity can ensure that the solder paste is evenly coated on the pads of the circuit board during the printing process, avoiding problems such as missing printing and pulling tips. If the viscosity is too high, the solder paste has poor fluidity and is difficult to coat evenly. If the viscosity is too low, the solder paste will flow during the printing process, resulting in irregular solder joint shapes. The obtained solder paste data will be used to guide the actual production process of printed circuit boards; for example, the heating temperature curve and soldering time of the soldering equipment are determined based on the melting point and composition of the solder paste.

[0058] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, step 13 may include:

[0059] Step 131, scanning and identifying the printed circuit board by a scanning device of the tinning equipment to obtain coordinate data and contour data of multiple screw columns.

[0060] In this embodiment, the printed circuit board is divided into several scanning areas according to the size of the printed circuit board and the distribution of the screw columns; the scanning device scans each area in turn according to a predetermined scanning strategy, such as line-by-line scanning or spiral scanning; during the scanning process, the optical sensor collects image data of each area in real time; in order to improve the scanning efficiency and accuracy, the technology of multi-frame image acquisition and stitching can be used to stitch the images of multiple small areas into a complete circuit board image; the collected original image is preprocessed, including denoising, contrast enhancement and other operations; denoising can eliminate interference signals in the image, and contrast enhancement can make features such as screw columns more obvious, which is convenient for subsequent feature extraction; using image processing algorithms, such as edge detection and contour tracking, the contour information of the screw column is extracted from the preprocessed image; at the same time, the coordinate position of each screw column on the circuit board is determined through the reference points and coordinate system in the image. Coordinate data is used to describe the exact position of each screw column on the printed circuit board, and is represented by a two-dimensional coordinate system. For example, on a two-dimensional plane, the center position of the screw column is represented by (x, y) coordinates. Accurate coordinate data provides accurate positioning information for the coating device of the tinning equipment to ensure that the solder paste can be accurately coated on each screw column. Contour data describes the shape, size, and surface features of the screw column. The contour boundary of the screw column can be represented by a series of point coordinates, or the shape of the screw column can be described by geometric parameters (such as diameter, radius, etc.). Contour data helps the tinning equipment adjust the working parameters of the coating device according to the actual shape and size of the screw column, such as coating range, coating pressure, etc., to ensure that the solder paste can evenly cover the surface of the screw column and improve the quality and consistency of tinning. After scanning, it is necessary to verify the acquired coordinate data and contour data by comparing with the pre-designed circuit board model or by sampling detection to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the data.

[0061] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, step 14 may include:

[0062] Step 141, obtaining solder paste supply volume data according to the profile data;

[0063] Step 142, obtaining solder paste supply pressure data according to the viscosity data.

[0064] In this embodiment, the theoretical supply volume of the solder paste is calculated according to the shape and size of the screw column. At the same time, in order to ensure that the solder paste can fully cover the surface of the screw column and form a good soldering point, it is usually necessary to increase a certain coating margin on the basis of the theoretical volume; the size of the coating margin depends on factors such as the fluidity of the solder paste and the accuracy of the printing process; specifically, according to:

[0065] , get the solder paste supply volume data;

[0066] Among them, V is the solder paste supply volume data, D is the screw column diameter, H is the soldering point target height, K is the reflow shrinkage compensation coefficient, and:

[0067]

[0068] Wherein, α is the thermal expansion coefficient, ΔT is the difference between the peak temperature and the room temperature, β is the volatility correction factor, which is generally 0.85~0.95, and is taken as 0.9 in this example, and ζ is the process correction factor, which is generally 1.05-1.1, and is taken as 1.05 in this example;

[0069] The viscosity of solder paste reflects its flow properties; the higher the viscosity, the worse the fluidity of the solder paste, and a greater pressure is required to make it pass smoothly through the nozzle of the coating device and evenly coat the screw column; conversely, the lower the viscosity, the better the fluidity of the solder paste, and the required supply pressure is relatively small; at the same time, the appropriate supply pressure can ensure the stability and consistency of the solder paste during the coating process; if the pressure is too low, the solder paste may not be able to fully fill the surface of the screw column, resulting in insufficient tinning; if the pressure is too high, the solder paste may splash or be unevenly coated, affecting the quality of tinning; specifically, according to:

[0070] , get the dynamic flow of solder paste;

[0071] Among them, Q is the dynamic flow rate of solder paste after liquefaction, ρ is the density of solder paste after liquefaction, η is the viscosity of solder paste after liquefaction, and t is the tinning time; according to:

[0072] , get solder paste supply pressure data;

[0073] Among them, P is the solder paste supply pressure data, a is the tin liquid characteristic coefficient, a=ρ / 2, k is the friction loss coefficient, k=f·L / D1, f is the roughness of the tin delivery pipeline, L is the length of the tin delivery pipeline, D1 is the diameter of the tin delivery pipeline, v is the tin liquid flow rate, v=Q / S, S is the cross-sectional area of ​​the tin delivery pipeline, S=π(D1 / 2) 2 .

[0074] In an optional embodiment of the present invention, step 16 may include:

[0075] Step 161, when the temperature data is greater than the melting point data, controlling the workbench translation of the tinning equipment according to the coordinate data to obtain workbench translation data;

[0076] Step 162, when the workbench translation data reaches a preset value, control the coating device to apply pressure to the tin liquid to tin the multiple screw columns of the printed circuit board fixed on the workbench, wherein the pressure value applied to the tin liquid is determined by the solder paste supply pressure data, and the tin liquid flow rate for tinning the screw columns is determined by the solder paste supply volume data.

[0077] In this embodiment, the solder paste has a specific melting point. Only when the temperature reaches or exceeds the melting point will the solder paste change from solid to liquid, and have good fluidity and coating performance; therefore, the conditions for tinning the screw column are met only when the temperature data is greater than the melting point data; at this time, the workbench translation of the tinning equipment is controlled according to the coordinate data, so as to ensure that the screw column on the printed circuit board is accurately moved to the working area of ​​the coating device; the workbench translation control system generates workbench translation data according to the coordinate data and the current workbench position information; these data include the translation vector, that is, the moving distance and direction, which are used to drive the workbench motor to move the workbench along a predetermined trajectory; the preset value of the workbench translation is set according to the requirements of the tinning process and the performance parameters of the equipment, and represents the standard for the workbench to translate to the appropriate position. When the workbench translation data reaches the preset value, it means that the screw column has accurately reached the working area of ​​the coating device, and the tinning process can be performed at this time;

[0078] Appropriate pressure can ensure that the tin liquid flows out of the nozzle of the coating device at a stable flow rate and in a uniform form, ensuring that the solder paste can fully fill the surface of the screw column and form a good soldering point. If the pressure is too low, the tin liquid may not flow out smoothly or the coating may be uneven; if the pressure is too high, it may cause the tin liquid to splash or damage the surface of the screw column. In actual operation, the pressure control system of the coating device accurately controls the pressure applied to the tin liquid according to this pressure value;

[0079] The tin liquid flow rate for tin treatment on the screw column is determined by the solder paste supply volume data; the solder paste supply volume data is calculated based on the screw column profile data and process requirements, reflecting the amount of solder paste required for each screw column. The flow control system of the coating device accurately controls the flow rate of the tin liquid based on this volume data to ensure that the appropriate amount of solder paste is provided for each screw column; accurate flow control can ensure that the amount of solder paste meets the process requirements and avoid quality problems caused by too much or too little solder paste; too much solder paste may cause short circuits or bridging during welding, while too little solder paste may not form a good welding connection.

It adopts a high-precision optical sensor and an image processing system, which can capture the image information of the surface of the printed circuit board 8, and extract the coordinate data and contour data of multiple screw columns through the image processing algorithm; the coating device is also arranged on the top of the bracket 4 close to the surface of the base 1, adjacent to the scanning device 5; the coating device is used to coat solder paste on the screw columns of the printed circuit board 8, and includes a tin coating port 10 and a control system, which can accurately control the flow rate and coating position of the solder paste according to the solder paste supply data; the heating device 7 is connected to the coating device through a tin feeding tube 6, and the heating device 7 is used to heat the solder paste to make it reach a suitable temperature; at the same time, the heating device 7 is also equipped with a temperature detection device, which can monitor the temperature of the solder paste in real time and feed back the temperature data to the control system.
