Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic assembly production, and in particular to an SMT printer. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of science and technology, the importance of electronic products in people's lives is increasing. As a common electronic manufacturing technology, SMT is widely used in the production process of various electronic products. SMT printer is one of the key equipment of SMT patch technology, which is mainly used to accurately apply solder paste to the pads of the circuit board to ensure the reliable welding of subsequent components.

[0003] Traditional SMT solder paste printers usually consist of mechanisms such as plate loading, solder paste adding, stamping, and circuit board conveying. The solder paste is printed on the circuit board through the steel mesh by a printing scraper, thereby achieving fine soldering preparation. However, there are some technical bottlenecks in the actual application of traditional SMT solder paste printers, which limits their further development and application.

[0004] Although the SMT solder paste printers currently on the market can meet the production needs of electronic products to a certain extent, there is still a lot of room for improvement. The Chinese patent with announcement number CN218735268U discloses an SMT solder paste printer, which uses a first elastic member to drive the anti-blocking ball to move downward to prevent the solidified solder paste from clogging the feed hole, thereby ensuring the smooth flow of the solder paste. In addition, the technology also drives the screw to rotate by turning the handwheel, and the screw drives the scraper plate to move left and right, which can effectively remove excess solder paste on the brush plate and prevent the solder paste from solidifying on the brush plate. Finally, the second elastic member drives the circular card block downward into the card hole, thereby fixing the collection frame to prevent the collection frame from shifting during work.

[0005] Although the above printer can effectively clean the excess solder paste on the steel mesh, it still does not manage the fluidity of the solder paste in the storage frame. Since the solder paste is easily solidified when it is left in the storage frame for a long time, it will not only affect the normal discharge of the solder paste, but also lead to a decline in printing quality and even cause equipment failure. Summary of the invention

[0006] In order to maintain the continuous fluidity of solder paste in a storage frame and improve printing quality, the present application provides an SMT printer.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when it is necessary to drive the tin storage box to uniformly coat the solder paste on the solder paste steel mesh, the tin storage box is lowered until the roller brush is pressed against the surface of the solder paste steel mesh until the solder paste overflows onto the mesh surface of the solder paste steel mesh following the rotation of the roller brush. The servo motor drives the screw to rotate, and the moving block that cooperates with the screw through threaded rotation realizes translation under the limiting guidance of the guide rod, thereby improving the movement stability and positioning accuracy of the tin storage box, thereby improving the uniformity and accuracy of solder paste coating during printing.

[0039] Reference Figures 1 to 3 When it is necessary to drive the tin storage box 4 to evenly coat the solder paste steel mesh 12 with solder paste, the electric turntable 15 drives the support seat 151 to rotate until the worm 71 on the output end of the servo motor 7 is engaged with the worm wheel 711 on the screw 22. At this time, the servo motor 7 is working, and the rotation of its output shaft drives the screw 22 to rotate, thereby realizing the translation of the tin storage box 4; when the anti-blocking plate 6 is needed to clear the feeding hole of the solder paste steel mesh 12, the electric turntable 15 drives the support seat 151 to rotate until the worm 71 on the output end of the servo motor 7 is engaged with the worm wheel 711 on the screw 23. At this time, the servo motor 7 is working, and the rotation of its output shaft drives the screw 23 to rotate, thereby realizing the translation of the anti-blocking plate 6.

[0040] Reference Figure 4 A plurality of anti-blocking balls 61 are evenly distributed at the bottom of the anti-blocking plate 6 along its length direction.

In this embodiment, a compression spring is used as the elastic member 621. The compression spring is located in the guide groove 62 and connected between the anti-blocking ball 61 and the inner top wall of the guide groove 62.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 A blanking box 8 is provided at the bottom of the solder paste steel mesh 12, and a connecting plate 63 is connected between the blanking box 8 and the side wall of the solder paste steel mesh 12 extending from the same side end of the anti-blocking plate 6, and the blanking box 8 and the connecting plate 63 are rotatably connected, and a torsion spring 631 is sleeved on the connecting shaft of the blanking box 8 and the connecting plate 63, and the torsion spring 631 abuts between the blanking box 8 and the connecting plate 63.

[0042] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 4 A discharge port 16 is provided at the end of the printing machine body 1 along the direction of the coating, a recovery box 9 is placed below the discharge port 16, and a guide ramp 161 extending into the recovery box 9 is fixedly provided at the discharge port 16, and a roller 81 is provided on the top wall of the blanking box 8 to rotate toward the guide ramp 161. When the blanking box 8 slides toward the recovery box 9 until the roller 81 hits the guide ramp 161, the blanking box 8 tilts toward the recovery box 9 until the solder paste liquid collected in the blanking box 8 is transferred to the recovery box 9.

[0043] Reference Figure 4 A circle of overlapping grooves 141 are provided at the top of the inner side wall of the support plate frame 14, and the solder paste steel mesh 12 is plugged into and fitted with the overlapping grooves 141. In order to reduce the possibility of solidification of solder paste at the feeding hole of the solder paste steel mesh 12, a heating gasket 1411 is provided in the overlapping groove 141, and the peripheral bottom wall of the solder paste steel mesh 12 is overlapped on the heating gasket 1411.

[0044] The implementation principle of an SMT printer in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: before the printer starts working, the staff injects solder paste into the tin storage box 4 from the tin injection port 41, and drives the magnetic stirrer 452 to rotate under the heating and stirring action of the magnetic stirrer 451 and the electric heating rod 461 to maintain the uniformity and fluidity of the solder paste. Then, the solder paste steel mesh 12 matching the specifications of the PCB board to be printed is installed, and then the solder paste steel mesh 12 is docked on the discharge plate 13 to accurately place the PCB board.

[0045] When it is necessary to drive the tin storage box 4 to evenly coat the solder paste steel mesh 12 with solder paste, the cylinder 31 drives the tin storage box 4 to descend until the rolling brush 42 is pressed against the surface of the solder paste steel mesh 12 until the solder paste overflows onto the mesh surface of the solder paste steel mesh 12 following the rotation of the rolling brush 42, and then the electric turntable 15 drives the support seat 151 to rotate until the worm 71 on the output end of the servo motor 7 engages with the worm gear 711 on the screw 22. At this time, the servo motor 7 is working, and the rotation of its output shaft drives the screw 22 to rotate. The moving block 3 drives the rolling brush 42 on the tin storage box 4 to evenly coat the solder paste steel mesh 12 with solder paste, and the scraper plate 44 connected to the rear side of the tin storage box 4 follows the moving trajectory of the rolling brush 42 to scrape the solder paste into the feed hole of the solder paste steel mesh 12 until the solder paste passes through the steel mesh and is printed onto the PCB board, thereby achieving fine welding preparation. During this process, the scraper plate 44 pushes the excess solder paste on the solder paste steel mesh 12 to the discharge port 16, and enters the recovery box 9 along the guide inclined plate 161 to be recovered and reused.

[0046] After the staff takes out the printed PCB board, when the anti-blocking plate 6 is needed to clear the feed hole of the solder paste steel mesh 12, the anti-blocking plate 6 at the bottom of the drive block 5 is lowered to fit the solder paste steel mesh 12 by the cylinder 31, and then the electric turntable 15 drives the support seat 151 to rotate until the worm 71 on the output end of the servo motor 7 is engaged with the worm wheel 711 on the screw 23. At this time, the servo motor 7 is working, and the rotation of its output shaft drives the screw 23 to rotate, thereby realizing the translation of the anti-blocking plate 6. During the movement of the anti-blocking plate 6, the anti-blocking ball 61 on the anti-blocking plate 6 is squeezed by the solder paste steel mesh 12, causing the corresponding elastic member 621 to deform until the anti-blocking ball 61 is aligned with the feed hole. The elastic member 621 drives the anti-blocking ball 61 to reset downward, and the anti-blocking ball 61 can clear the feed hole to reduce the solidified solder paste from blocking the feed hole. When the anti-blocking plate 6 continues to move, the solder paste steel mesh 12 squeezes the anti-blocking ball 61 again to move upward, the elastic member 621 is deformed again, and the anti-blocking ball 61 is separated from the feed hole, and this reciprocating process is repeated until the feed hole of the entire solder paste steel mesh 12 is cleared.

[0047] During the process of the anti-blocking plate 6 clearing the solder paste steel mesh 12, the solder paste cleared from the feed hole by the anti-blocking ball 61 falls into the synchronously moving blanking box 8, and the blanking box 8 slides toward the recovery box 9 during the collection process until the roller 81 hits the guide ramp 161. The blanking box 8 tilts toward the recovery box 9 due to the contact guide of the roller 81 and the cooperation of the torsion spring 631, until the solder paste liquid collected in the blanking box 8 is transferred to the recovery box 9, so as to facilitate the centralized processing of the recovered solder paste.

[0048] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and the protection scope of the present application is not limited thereto. Therefore, any equivalent changes made according to the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
