Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of connector welding, and in particular to a parallel seam welding airtightness repair method. Background Art

[0002] As electronic devices continue to develop in the direction of miniaturization, high performance, and high reliability, the market demand for electronic components packaged using the parallel seam welding process has exploded. These components usually need to operate stably for a long time in complex and changeable working environments, such as high temperature, high humidity, strong electromagnetic interference, and even space radiation environments, and their airtightness requirements are almost harsh. However, in the actual production process, although the parallel seam welding process is relatively mature, it involves many complex and interrelated process parameters, including welding current, pulse width, electrode pressure, welding speed, etc. Even under a strict quality control system, a certain proportion of products with unqualified airtightness will inevitably appear.

[0003] Traditional treatment methods often face many difficulties. On the one hand, simple scrapping not only causes huge waste of raw materials and high costs, but is also unbearable for components that use rare metals or undergo special processing. On the other hand, if conventional soldering methods are used directly, it is very likely to cause thermal stress problems due to local overheating, thereby damaging the fragile internal chip structure and causing the components to fail completely. At the same time, it is also difficult to accurately locate the leaking parts and ensure that the airtightness after repair meets the initial design requirements. In addition, for some high-value, customized electronic components, the remanufacturing cycle is too long and cannot meet the urgent market demand. There are two common parallel seam welding repair methods: 1) Mechanical opening and secondary welding method, which uses a mechanical milling machine or other method to open the cover, and then grinds the burrs at the opening. This method is prone to debris entering the device during grinding, causing short circuits and other problems; 2) Glue coating plugging method, which uses colloid to wrap the leaking device to achieve the effect of airtightness, which is only suitable for devices with low requirements for the device environment.

[0004] In view of this, it is imperative to develop a parallel seam welding airtightness repair technology that does not damage the internal structure of the product. Summary of the invention

After the milling part of the cover is polished flat, clean the debris on the debris blocking piece and the device housing. After cleaning, remove the sealant and the debris blocking piece. Step 7: After repairing the components in the device housing, place the new device cover on the device housing and perform secondary parallel seam welding.

[0008] In some embodiments, the feed depth of the milling cutter of the capping machine is 0.1-0.2 mm, and the length of the extended end of the adjusting device is 0.1-0.2 mm.

[0009] In some embodiments, the length and width of the debris blocking piece are the length and width corresponding to the inner cross-section of the device housing at a set height, and the thickness is 0.01 mm.

[0010] In some embodiments, the debris blocking piece is made of steel sheet.

[0011] In some embodiments, step 4, installing a debris barrier sheet above the chip inside the device, with the periphery of the debris barrier sheet in contact with the inner side of the device housing, includes: If there is a step inside the device housing and the installation and wear conditions are met, install the debris blocker at the step; If there is no suitable step in the device housing, install a soft pad in the device housing to avoid the blank space of the chip inside the device. After padding to a set height, install a debris blocker on the soft pad.

[0012] In some embodiments, the cutting device is a milling cutter.

[0013] In some embodiments, the clamping device is a cover opener pressure rod, which uses clamping force to fix the device on the operating table.

[0014] In some embodiments, the sealant is a quick-setting sealant.

[0015] According to the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: The repair method of the present application seals and connects the debris blocking piece to the inner side of the device housing on all sides, thereby blocking the debris generated during the grinding process of the weld bead of the device housing after the cover is opened, so that the debris does not enter the interior of the device, thereby achieving the rework process without pollution to the internal circuit of the device, and realizing high-airtightness rework of secondary parallel seam welding.

[0018] In order to make the technical means, creative features, objectives and effects achieved by the present invention easy to understand, the present invention is further explained below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0019] It should be noted that in the description of the present invention, the directions or positional relationships indicated by the terms "front", "rear", "left", "right", "up", "down", "inside", "outside", etc. are based on the directions or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of describing the present invention rather than requiring the present invention to be constructed and operated in a specific direction, and therefore cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0021] The present application seals the debris blocking sheet 7 in steps 4 and 5 with the inner side of the device housing 2 to block the debris generated during the grinding process of the weld bead of the device housing 2 after the cover is opened, so that the debris does not enter the inside of the device, thereby achieving the rework process without contaminating the internal circuit of the device. If the debris enters the inside of the device, the expected effect cannot be achieved by opening the cover for rework.

[0022] More specifically, an embodiment of the present invention provides a parallel seam welding airtightness repair method, comprising: Step 1: Place the device to be repaired upside down on the operating table 5 and fix the device position by the clamping device 1. Figure 1 As shown; wherein, the device comprises a device housing 2, a device cover plate 3 connected to the device housing by parallel seam welding, and a device internal chip 6 located in the device housing; In some embodiments, in this step, the clamping device 1 is a lid opener pressure rod, and the device is fixed on the operating table by clamping force.

[0023] In some embodiments, the device housing and the device cover are both made of metal.

[0024] Step 2, starting the cutting device 4 to cut and separate the device cover plate 3 from the device housing 2; In some embodiments, in this step, starting the cutting device to cut and separate the device cover plate 3 from the device housing 2 includes: The extended end of the device contacts the cutting device 4, the contact length is the length of the parallel seam welding, and the cutting device 4 is fed upward to a depth equal to the thickness of the device cover.

[0025] Furthermore, the feed depth of the milling cutter of the capping machine is 0.1-0.2 mm, and the length of the extended end of the adjusting device is 0.1-0.2 mm.

[0026] In this embodiment, the feed depth of the milling cutter of the capping machine is 0.15 mm, and the length of the extended end of the adjusting device is 0.1 mm.

[0027] In some embodiments, the cutting device is a milling cutter.

[0028] Step 3: Remove the cut device from the operating table, remove the burrs and debris around the cutting, and pry open the device cover 3. Figure 2 As shown; In some embodiments, in this step, prying open the device cover 3 includes: Choose a pry bar or piece of metal as the prying tool; After determining the prying point, fit the pry tool to the edge of the device cover, apply even pressure to lift the device cover, and gradually expand the opening to pry open the device cover.

[0029] Step 4: Install the debris blocking sheet 7 above the chip 6 inside the device, and the debris blocking sheet 7 is in contact with the inner side of the device housing 2 around the periphery, such as Figure 3 As shown; In some embodiments, in this step, the debris blocking sheet 7 is installed above the chip 6 inside the device, and the four sides of the debris blocking sheet 7 are in contact with the inner side of the device housing 2, including: If there is a step inside the device housing and the installation and grinding conditions are met, the debris blocking sheet 7 is installed at the step; If there is no suitable step in the device housing, a soft pad is installed in the device housing to avoid the blank space of the chip 6 inside the device, and after padding to a set height, a debris blocking sheet 7 is installed on the soft pad.

[0030] In some embodiments, the length and width of the debris blocking piece 7 are the length and width corresponding to the inner cross section of the device housing 2 at a set height, and the thickness is 0.01 mm. Furthermore, the debris blocking piece 7 is made of steel sheet.

[0031] Step 5: Use sealant 8 to seal the debris blocking piece 7 around the inner side of the device housing 2. Figure 4 As shown; In this step, a sealant is used to surround the contact point between the debris blocking sheet 7 and the device housing 2 in a complete circle, and then cured using corresponding curing conditions.

[0032] In some embodiments, the sealant 8 is a quick-setting sealant. Quick-setting sealant is a fluid glue that can be quickly solidified at a temperature below 80°C or by other means. It has the characteristics of having fluid properties, a large damping coefficient, being able to solidify quickly, being able to be easily removed, and having a certain bonding and fixing ability. The main functions are: 1) sealing the gap between the debris baffle 7 and the device housing 2; 2) fixing the debris baffle 7 when grinding the device housing 2 (the device is ground upside down on the grinding disc of the grinder, in the form of dripping water), to ensure that the debris baffle 7 does not fall off.

[0033] Step 6, turn the device processed in step 5 upside down on a grinder and grind it. After the milling part of the cover is polished flat, clean the debris on the debris blocking sheet 7 and the device housing 2. After cleaning, remove the sealant 8 and the debris blocking sheet 7; In some embodiments, in this step, debris on the device debris blocking sheet 7 and the device housing 2 are cleaned: various debris (such as metal powder, oxides, etc.) may accumulate on the device surface during operations such as cutting and prying off the device cover. This step thoroughly removes these debris by using ultrasonic cleaning, compressed air blowing, wiping, etc. to ensure that the device surface is clean and free of contaminants. This is conducive to improving the welding quality between the new device cover and the device housing, and preventing foreign matter from affecting electrical performance or causing short circuits and other problems.

[0034] Preferably, cleaning is carried out in the form of a compressed air purge.

[0035] Step 7: After repairing the components in the device housing, place the new device cover on the device housing and perform secondary parallel seam welding, such as Figure 5 shown.

[0036] In summary, the parallel seam welding airtightness repair method of the present invention can realize the repair of parallel seam welding and reduce the scrap rate of devices.

[0037] It is known from common technical knowledge that the present invention can be implemented by other embodiments that do not deviate from its spirit or essential features. Therefore, the above disclosed embodiments are only illustrative in all respects and are not exclusive. All changes within the scope of the present invention or within the scope equivalent to the present invention are included in the present invention.
