Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electronic component assembly equipment, and particularly to a positioning device for soldering DIP chips on a PCB board. Background Technique

[0002] A PCB board, i.e., a printed circuit board, is the core carrier of electronic components, and realizes the electrical connection and mechanical fixation between electronic components through conductive lines and pads. Among them, DIP is a dual in-line package in the PCB board. The pins of the DIP chip are inserted into the holes of the PCB board, and the DIP chip is fixedly installed on the PCB by soldering.

[0003] In the traditional soldering method of DIP on the PCB board, an operator uses tools to pick up the DIP chip, insert it into the holes on the PCB board, and then use a soldering gun to solder the pins of the DIP on the PCB board. In order to improve production efficiency, existing electronics factories use wave soldering. For the PCB board with DIP chips assembled and inserted, it is then soldered by a wave soldering machine. However, the PCB board with the installed DIP chips is placed on a bracket, and the bracket is transported into the wave soldering for soldering treatment through a conveyor chain. Due to the movement of the conveyor chain itself, in order to achieve the effect of eliminating static electricity, an ion blower is usually assembled at the wave soldering machine. Thus, under the action of the shaking of the conveyor chain and the ion blower, and because the pins of the DIP chip are directly inserted into the hole positions of the PCB board, the pin positions are prone to shift before soldering. Therefore, when entering the wave soldering machine for soldering, it is easy to cause misalignment of the pin soldering positions. For this reason, a positioning device for soldering DIP chips on a PCB board is proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a positioning device for soldering DIP chips on a PCB board to solve the problems raised in the above background technique.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the present invention provides the following technical solution: A positioning device for soldering DIP chips on a PCB board, including a wave soldering machine and a conveyor chain. The conveyor chain passes through the wave soldering machine. There are multiple groups of bracket plates on the conveyor chain. Placement slots for placing the PCB board are opened on the bracket plates. And pressing pieces for pressing the DIP chips are distributed on both sides of the bracket plates. A positioning clip for clamping the pins of the DIP chip is provided at the bottom of the bracket plate. Two groups of moving components are provided on the bracket plate; an installation plate is installed on the frame of the conveyor chain. A red light lamp for irradiating the mounting holes of the PCB board is installed on the installation plate. When the red light lamp irradiates the bottom of the DIP chip, the moving components drive the pressing pieces and the positioning clip for positioning; a blocking component for blocking the movement of the bracket plate is provided on the frame of the conveyor chain.

[0008] Preferably, two support plates are installed on the mounting plate, and the red light lamp is installed on the two support plates. A light-shielding component covering the red light lamp is installed on the mounting plate. A driving motor is installed at the bottom of the mounting plate. The outer part of the output shaft of the driving motor is connected to a blocking component. A rotating screw rod is installed at the top of the output shaft of the driving motor, and the rotating screw rod is connected to the light-shielding component.

[0009] Preferably, the light-shielding component includes a threaded shaft sleeve sleeved on the rotating screw rod. Two groups of connecting rods are connected to the outside of the threaded shaft sleeve. A support frame is installed on the top of the mounting plate. A cross frame is installed on the support frame, and a rotating block is installed inside the cross frame. Fixed rods are installed at both ends of the cross frame and the rotating block.

Detailed implementation manner

[0028] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1-11 , the present invention provides a technical solution: a positioning device for soldering DIP chips on a PCB board, used to solve the problems of troublesome positioning when soldering DIP chips on a PCB board, and easy misalignment of DIP chip insertion caused by ion blowers and bracket plate transportation. The design includes a wave soldering machine 1 and a conveying chain 2. The wave soldering machine 1 is a prior art feature, and welding treatment is performed by using existing equipment, which will not be elaborated too much in this solution. The conveying chain 2 is designed with a driving device such as a motor installed at one end, and at the same time drives the rollers on the conveying chain 2 to roll. The conveying chain 2 passes through the wave soldering machine 1. There are multiple groups of bracket plates 3 on the conveying chain 2. The design of the bracket plate 3 refers to the Figure 6 shown in the appendix. Its overall is a rectangular frame structure. Depressions for placing the PCB board are provided at both sides. The depressions are rubber-treated. After the two ends of the PCB board are clamped on, the two ends of the PCB board are wrapped, so that the PCB board is completely clamped on the bracket plate 3. A placing groove 31 for placing the PCB board is opened on the bracket plate 3, and pressing pieces 4 for pressing the DIP chips are distributed on both sides of the bracket plate 3. The pressing piece 4 is designed as a strip-shaped plate, one end of which is larger than the DIP outer diameter and has a wrapping ring, so that when the pressing piece 4 presses on the DIP, the top of the DIP is wrapped;

[0030] A positioning clamp 5 for clamping the pins of the DIP chip is provided at the bottom of the bracket plate 3. The design of the positioning clamp 5 is as shown in the appendixFigure 6 As shown in Figure 6 , two sets of track plates 51 are installed at the bottom of the bracket plate 3. The positioning clip 5 includes a rectangular frame 52 that slides on the track plate 51. Arc-shaped clip pieces 53 are installed at both ends of the rectangular frame 52. A first hinge seat 54 is connected to the bottom of one of the arc-shaped clip pieces 53. One end of the moving component 6 is hinged to the first hinge seat 54. After the pins of the DIP are inserted into the holes of the PCB board, two pin parts of the DIP are distributed on the two arc-shaped clip pieces 53. When the DIP pins are inserted, the bent parts of the pins are bent for easy soldering. Then, during the process of dragging the rectangular frame 52, the two arc-shaped clip pieces 53 are just located at the positions of the bent parts of the DIP pins, so as to position the pins and prevent them from shaking. Two sets of moving components 6 are provided on the bracket plate 3;

[0031] The moving component 6 includes a magnetic seat 61 installed on the bracket plate 3. A sliding rod 62 is connected to the magnetic seat 61. The top of the sliding rod 62 is connected to the pressing piece 4. The bottom of the sliding rod 62 is connected to a second hinge seat 63. A hinge rod 64 is hinged to the second hinge seat 63, and one end of the hinge rod 64 is hinged to the first hinge seat 54.

[0032] An installation plate 7 is installed on the frame of the conveyor chain 2. A red light lamp 71 for irradiating the mounting holes of the PCB board is installed on the installation plate 7. When the red light lamp 71 irradiates to the bottom of the DIP chip, the moving component 6 drives the pressing piece 4 and the positioning clip 5 to position;

[0033] A blocking component 8 for blocking the movement of the bracket plate 3 is provided on the frame of the conveyor chain 2.

[0034] Two support plates 72 are installed on the installation plate 7, and the red light lamp 71 is installed on the two support plates 72. A light-shielding component 9 for covering the red light lamp 71 is installed on the installation plate 7. A driving motor 73 is installed at the bottom of the installation plate 7. The output shaft of the driving motor 73 is externally connected to the blocking component 8. A rotating screw rod 74 is installed at the top of the output shaft of the driving motor 73, and the rotating screw rod 74 is connected to the light-shielding component 9.

[0035] In order to achieve the effects of shading and turning off the red light lamp 71, the designed light-shielding component 9 includes a threaded shaft sleeve 91 sleeved on the rotating screw rod 74. Two groups of connecting rods 92 are connected to the outside of the threaded shaft sleeve 91. A support frame 93 is installed on the top of the installation plate 7. A cross frame 94 is installed on the support frame 93. A rotating block 95 is installed inside the cross frame 94. Fixed rods 96 are installed at both ends of the cross frame 94 and the rotating block 95. A covering frame 97 is connected to the fixed rods 96. The connecting rod 92 is hinged to the bottom of the fixed rod 96.

[0036] The blocking member 8 includes a double-wheel shaft 81 sleeved on the output shaft of the driving motor 73. A circular hole 21 is formed in a rectangular shape on the frame of the conveying chain 2. A lifting screw 82 is installed in the circular hole 21. A rotating shaft sleeve 83 is installed on the frame of the conveying chain 2, and a thread is provided in the rotating shaft sleeve 83. The rotating shaft sleeve 83 and the double-wheel shaft 81 are driven by a belt 84. A blocking rubber block 85 is installed at the top of the lifting screw 82. A limiting sleeve 86 is sleeved on the lifting screw 82, and a limiting rod 87 passing through the limiting sleeve 86 is installed on the frame of the conveying chain 2.

[0037] When using this device, first place the bracket plate 3 with holes one by one on the conveying chain 2. By starting the power device of the conveying chain 2, the conveying chain 2 drives the bracket plate 3 to move. When the bracket plate 3 is conveyed to the front of the entrance of the wave soldering machine 1, at this time, by controlling and starting the driving motor 73, the double-wheel shaft 81 starts to rotate. Under the action of the belt 84, the lifting screw 82 starts to move up and down along the rotating shaft sleeve 83. Because the blocking rubber block 85 is installed at the top of the lifting screw 82, after the blocking rubber block 85 passes through the circular hole 21 on the conveying chain 2, it is convenient to block the movement of the bracket plate 3 in a rectangular shape from the outside. At the same time, since a recessed part is dug out on the blocking rubber block 85, it has a good buffering effect on the bracket plate 3. When the lifting screw 82 moves upward, since a rotating screw 74 is installed on the output shaft of the driving motor 73, the threaded shaft sleeve 91 moves along the rotating screw 74. When the threaded shaft sleeve 91 touches the top of the rotating screw 74, it starts to idle due to obstruction. At the same time, a connecting rod 92 is installed on the threaded shaft sleeve 91, so that the cross frame 94 and the rotating block 95 cross and open, facilitating the opening of the two covering frames 97, thereby turning on the red light 71, so that the red light 71 irradiates from the hole position where the DIP pins are installed on the PCB board. At this time, the worker clamps the DIP, aligns the center positions of the two pins of the DIP with the irradiation position of the red light 71. After the DIP pins are inserted into the installation holes of the PCB board, at this time, the two pin parts are respectively swung and bent to both sides by tools such as tweezers. At this time, by energizing the magnetic suction seat 61, the pressing piece 4 is adsorbed above the magnetic suction seat 61. During the adsorption process of the pressing piece 4, the sliding rod 62 slides downward, so as to pull the rectangular frame 52 to slide along the track plate 51, so that the arc-shaped clip 53 blocks at the position of the bent pins, positioning and fixing the pin position. At the same time, the pressing piece 4 presses on the top of the DIP. After the pressing piece 4 and the arc-shaped clip 53 position the DIP and the pins, at this time, the driving motor 73 rotates in the reverse direction, so that the blocking rubber block 85 re-enters the circular hole 21, and the cross frame 94 and the rotating block 95 cross-move, and the covering frame 97 is combined and covered on the top of the red light 71. At this time, the bracket plate 3 loses the obstruction, and the bracket plate 3 enters the inside of the wave soldering machine 1. The soldering part of the wave soldering machine 1 welds the positioned pins and DIP from the recessed part at the bottom of the bracket plate 3, thus avoiding the problem of pin misalignment during the soldering of the wave soldering machine 1.

[0038] To reduce the influence of static electricity, mounting grooves 22 are formed in the frame of the conveying chain 2, and a plurality of irradiation holes 23 are formed in the inner wall of the mounting groove 22. A box body 24 is installed in the mounting groove 22, and the box body 24 is communicated with the ion blower on the wave soldering machine 1, so as to eliminate static electricity when positioning DIP and DIP pins, and avoid the influence of static electricity on the welding effect when entering the wave soldering machine 1.

[0039] It should be noted that in this article, relational terms such as first and second are only used to distinguish one entity or operation from another entity or operation, and do not necessarily require or imply any actual relationship or order between these entities or operations. Moreover, the term "comprising", "including" or any other variant thereof is intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion, so that a process, method, article or device comprising a series of elements not only includes those elements, but also includes other elements not expressly listed, or further includes elements inherent to such process, method, article or device.

[0040] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, those of ordinary skill in the art can understand that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
