Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of reflow soldering, and more particularly to a high-efficiency reflow soldering device for COB-LED modules. Background Art

[0002] A COB-LED module is obtained by soldering LED chips onto a PCB. Reflow soldering is one of the most commonly used methods for soldering LED chips onto a PCB. During reflow soldering, solder paste (composed of solder powder and flux) is printed on the pads of the PCB, and then the LED chips are placed on the solder paste. Subsequently, the PCB and the LED chip module together pass through a reflow soldering device, which is provided with a heating zone and a cooling zone inside. The temperature curve inside the device melts the solder in the solder paste, connecting the LED chips to the pads of the PCB. Reflow soldering has the advantages of high soldering quality, high production efficiency, and suitability for automated production.

[0003] When performing reflow soldering on different models of modules, their corresponding temperature control curves are different. Different models of modules have different heating times in the same heating zone, and the same model of module also has different heating times in different heating zones. Currently, the space of each area inside the reflow soldering device is fixed. Thus, in order to meet diverse requirements, the transmission speed of the conveyor belt is different when passing through each heating area, resulting in only one module being able to be transmitted for reflow soldering at a time, with extremely low efficiency.

Specific embodiments

[0025] In order to make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, the following further describes the present invention in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention.

[0026] The following describes in detail the specific implementation of the present invention with reference to specific embodiments.

[0027] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 and Figure 3, an efficient reflow soldering device for a COB-LED module provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes a conveying mechanism 2 and a soldering box 1. The soldering box 1 is installed on the conveying mechanism 2. The conveying mechanism 2 is used to send the module into the soldering box 1 for reflow soldering. A plurality of partition plates 8 are provided at both ends and inside the soldering box 1. The partition plates 8 are vertically arranged. The plurality of partition plates 8 divide the interior of the soldering box 1 into multiple heating zones and a cooling zone. A spacing adjusting mechanism is provided in the soldering box 1. The spacing adjusting mechanism is used to adjust the position of the internal partition plates 8. The partition plates 8 inside the soldering box 1 are slidably connected to the inner wall of the soldering box 1. The partition plates 8 at both ends are fixed. A telescopic plate 9 is movably connected to the lower end of each partition plate 8. The telescopic plate 9 can retract into the partition plate 8 or extend out of the partition plate 8. The lower end portion of the telescopic plate 9 is inclined. A placement box 4 is provided on the conveying mechanism 2. The module is placed in the placement box 4 for conveying and soldering. When the placement box 4 abuts against the telescopic plate 9, the telescopic plate 9 will retract upward. After the placement box 4 leaves the lower side of the telescopic plate 9, under the action of gravity, the telescopic plate 9 extends downward to close the inlet and outlet of the heating zone or the cooling zone, and the temperature control and energy-saving effect is better. When formally performing reflow soldering, it is necessary to retrieve the corresponding temperature control curve information according to the module model. A temperature control curve information needs to be formulated in advance for each module model. The temperature control curve information includes several temperature segments, and each temperature segment corresponds to a temperature value and a temperature control time. The embodiment of the present invention will automatically determine the spacing between two adjacent partition plates 8 according to the temperature control curve information, and adjust the position of the partition plates 8 through the spacing adjusting mechanism so that the temperature control time of each temperature segment meets the requirements.

[0028] In the embodiment of the present invention, the spacing adjusting mechanism includes a rotating motor 5. The rotating motor 5 is installed on the soldering box 1. A threaded shaft 10 is connected to the output shaft of the rotating motor 5. The threaded shaft 10 penetrates through several partition plates 8. Through holes 15 and guiding holes are provided on the partition plates 8 inside the soldering box 1. Electromagnets are installed in the inner walls of the through holes 15. Ferromagnetic rings 16 are fitted in the through holes 15. For example, the ferromagnetic rings 16 are made of iron. The inner holes of the ferromagnetic rings 16 are threaded holes. The ferromagnetic rings 16 are connected to the threaded shaft 10 in a matching manner. When the electromagnets are energized, the ferromagnetic rings 16 are fixedly connected to the partition plates 8. When the electromagnets are de-energized, the ferromagnetic rings 16 are movably connected to the partition plates 8. A guiding shaft 11 is fixedly installed in the soldering box 1. The guiding shaft 11 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the guiding hole. The guiding shaft 11 and the threaded shaft 10 are both horizontally arranged. When it is necessary to adjust the position of a certain partition plate 8, the electromagnet on this partition plate 8 is energized, and the electromagnets on other partition plates 8 are de-energized, and then the rotating motor 5 is started.

[0029] In the embodiment of the present invention, the step of determining the distance between two adjacent partitions 8 according to the temperature control curve information specifically includes: First step, determine the transmission speed of the transmission mechanism 2 according to the total time length of the temperature control curve information and the distance between the two end partitions 8, and adjust the transmission speed of the transmission mechanism 2; Second step, determine the length of each heating zone and cooling zone according to the transmission speed of the transmission mechanism 2 and the temperature control time of each temperature section in the temperature control curve information, and then determine the position of each partition 8. In this way, when performing reflow soldering on each model of COB-LED module, it can conform to the corresponding temperature control curve, and the welding quality is high.

The transmission mechanism 2 is a chain conveyor, and each chain plate 3 of the chain conveyor is provided with an insertion hole 6, and the insertion hole 6 is adapted to the insertion shaft. During use, the insertion shaft needs to be inserted into the insertion hole 6.

[0031] Please refer to Figures 1 to 7 , in the embodiment of the present invention, a heating device 12 is provided in each heating zone. For example, the heating device 12 is a hot air blower, and a refrigeration device 13 is provided in the cooling zone. For example, the refrigeration device 13 is an air conditioner. The heating device 12 and the refrigeration device 13 are both fixedly installed on the partition 8 close to the input end. The heating device 12 and the refrigeration device 13 are both provided with air outlets, and the air outlets are connected to the air inlet pipe 21 of the air outlet plate 14 through corrugated hoses (not shown in the figure). The air outlet plate 14 moves synchronously with the placement box 4 through a following motion mechanism. In this way, the air blown out by the air outlet plate 14 directly reaches the module, and the welding effect is better and more efficient.

[0032] In an embodiment of the present invention, the following movement mechanism includes a guide sleeve 18, a guide plate 24 and a lifting plate 22. The guide sleeve 18 is slidably connected with a guide shaft 11. A first return spring 17 is connected between the guide sleeve 18 and the corresponding partition plate 8 (near the input end). The guide sleeve 18 is fixedly connected with an air outlet disc 14 through a connecting column 19, and the air outlet disc 14 is horizontally arranged. The lifting plate 22 is slidably connected with one side of the air outlet disc 14, and the connected side surface is near the output end. The lifting plate 22 is vertically arranged, and an inclined surface is provided at the lower end of the lifting plate 22. The triangular block 7 can abut against the inclined surface. The guide plate 24 is fixed on the top surface of the air outlet disc 14, and a horizontal plate 23 is slidably connected in the guide plate 24. One side of the horizontal plate 23 is connected with the guide plate 24 through a second return spring 25. A through groove 231 is provided on the surface of the horizontal plate 23, and the lifting plate 22 can pass through the through groove 231. The side surface of the through groove 231 near the second return spring 25 is an inclined surface 232. When the second return spring 25 is not subjected to an external force, the lifting plate 22 is misaligned with the through groove 231.

[0033] In an embodiment of the present invention, a buffer plate 20 is connected to the lower end of the partition plate 8. A first limiting block 26 is connected to the side surface of the lifting plate 22, and a second limiting block 27 is connected to the air outlet disc 14. The second limiting block 27 is used to support the lifting plate 22. When the second return spring 25 is not subjected to an external force, the bottom surface of the first limiting block 26 contacts the surface of the second limiting block 27. A slider 28 is provided on the lifting plate 22, and a sliding groove is provided on the side surface of the air outlet disc 14. The slider 28 is slidably connected with the sliding groove. The slider 28 is trapezoidal to prevent the slider 28 from disengaging from the sliding groove.

[0034] The working process of the embodiment of the present invention is as follows: Determine the position of the partition plate 8 according to the module model, adjust the position of the partition plate 8 through the spacing adjustment mechanism, and then place the COB-LED module in the placement box 4. The placement box 4 is inserted into the chain plate 3, and the chain plate 3 drives the placement box 4 and the module to enter the heating zone and the cooling zone in sequence for reflow soldering. When just entering the heating zone or the cooling zone, the triangular block 7 pushes up the telescopic plate 9, and then the placement box 4 continues to move forward. The triangular block 7 will contact the inclined surface under the lifting plate 22. At this time, the air outlet plate 14 is located directly above the module. The placement box 4 continues to move forward. Under the contact action, the lifting plate 22, the air outlet plate 14 and the guide sleeve 18 will also move forward accordingly. Until about to enter the next area, the horizontal plate 23 will contact the next partition plate 8, and the horizontal plate 23 cannot continue to move forward. However, the lifting plate 22 continues to move forward a short distance until the through slot 231 is located directly above the lifting plate 22. The lifting plate 22 will move upward, and the lifting plate 22 will not move forward with the placement box 4. Under the action of the first return spring 17, the guide sleeve 18 is reset, and the air outlet plate 14 will also follow the reset. The left side of the air outlet plate 14 contacts the buffer plate 20. In addition, under the action of the second return spring 25, the horizontal plate 23 will be pushed outwards, and the inclined surface 232 will squeeze the lifting plate 22 to move downward, and the lifting plate 22 will also be reset, facilitating the operation of the module on the next placement box 4.
