[0021] The following combination Figure 1 A method for improving the temperature uniformity of a heating plate according to an embodiment of the present invention is described, comprising: S101. The air guide hood is arranged inside the vacuum welding furnace, the air uniform plate is arranged inside the upper cavity 1 of the vacuum welding furnace, the upper infrared heating tube 12 is arranged above the air uniform plate, the upper heating tube 12 is preferably an upper infrared heating tube 12, and at least one fan 15 is arranged above the upper infrared heating 12. The fan 15, the air uniform plate 13 and the upper infrared heating tube 12 are arranged inside the air guide hood 17.
[0022] S102. Set the distance between the air leveling plate and the upper infrared heating tube to a first distance L1, where L1 is ≥ 20d + 0.05D1, where d is the air leveling plate aperture and D1 is the average of the length and width of the air leveling plate. This provides mixing space for the airflow, allowing the heat jet to fully diffuse and achieve uniform velocity. The minimum value of L1 is 100 mm to prevent the heat jet from impacting the upper infrared heating tube before mixing. The maximum value of L1 is 0.2D1 to avoid excessive kinetic energy loss in the heat jet.
[0023] S103. Set the distance between the air distribution plate and the heating plate to the second distance, L2. L2 = 0.1-0.15 × D2 + ∆H, where D2 is the average length and width of the heating plate, and ∆H is the structural compensation height (including the thickness of the heating tube, preferably 50-100 mm). Ensure that hot air evenly covers the surface of the heating plate. L2 should be ≥ 150 mm to avoid dead zones. Deflector skirts (inclined 15-30 degrees) should be installed at the edges of the heating plate to prevent airflow separation at the edges.
[0024] S104. Set the opening rate of the central area of the wind uniform plate to the first opening rate, the first opening rate is 25-35%, the radius of the central area is ≤0.3R, low density and large spacing, suppressing the central high-speed area; set the opening rate of the transition area of the wind uniform plate to the second opening rate, the second opening rate is 35-45%, 0.3R ≤ transition area radius ≤0.7R, medium density, and smooth flow rate transition; set the opening rate of the edge area of the wind uniform plate to the third opening rate, the third opening rate is 45-55%, the edge area radius is >0.7R, high density, small spacing, to compensate for wall resistance loss. Increase the proportion of airflow flowing to the edge area, compensate for its natural attenuation, and obtain more uniform wind speed coverage for the entire heating area. The aperture is preferably 3-8mm. Small holes can produce more and more dispersed jets, which helps to mix and homogenize the airflow faster under the wind uniform plate.
[0025] S105. When the length of the vacuum welding furnace is less than 1.2m, a central single fan is used. When the length of the vacuum welding furnace is greater than 1.2m, four-corner distributed fans are used to eliminate the low-temperature area at the edge of the heating plate and reduce the temperature difference.
[0026] S106. If four-corner distributed fans are used, the first fan and the second fan are symmetrically arranged on the top of the vacuum welding furnace, and the third fan and the fourth fan are symmetrically arranged on the side. The radial component of the third fan and the fourth fan has a vertical velocity gain of 10-15°, which penetrates the boundary layer and pushes the airflow to the edge of the heating plate. The tangential component of 6-8° induces circumferential velocity, generates forced vortex, and eliminates flow dead zones.
[0027] like Figure 2-6 The present invention describes an embodiment of a vacuum soldering furnace for chip packaging, comprising an upper cavity 1, a lower cavity 2, at least one cooling tube, at least one upper heating tube 12, an air-applying mechanism, an air-distributing plate 13, and a heating plate 25; the upper cavity 1 is arranged above the lower cavity 2, and the upper cavity 1 and the lower cavity 2 form a vacuum cavity, the upper heating tube 12 is arranged inside the upper cavity 1, the cooling tube is arranged inside the lower cavity 2, the cooling tube is embedded below the heating plate 25, and the cooling tube is supported by a cooling tube support column 22. A support structure 3 is provided in the lower cavity 2, rollers 4 are provided around the bottom of the support structure 3, and an alarm light 5 is provided above the support structure. If infrared temperature measurement is used, an infrared temperature measurement mechanism is provided on the top of the upper cavity 1, and infrared temperature measurement holes are provided at corresponding positions of the air-distributing plate 13 and the air guide cover 17.
[0028] The air leveling plate 13 is a quartz glass plate and is evenly provided with multiple holes. This improves temperature uniformity and can evenly guide the airflow, eliminating local turbulence, ensuring uniformity during the heating phase and preventing deformation of the workpiece caused by uneven heating.
[0029] The air supply mechanism further includes a shroud 17 and cooling tube fins 14. The fan 15 and cooling tube fins 14 of the air supply mechanism are disposed within the shroud 17, with the cooling tube fins 14 disposed below the air supply mechanism. The air supply mechanism further includes a fan motor 16; fan motor 16 is disposed at the top of the upper chamber 1, and fan 15 is disposed within the upper chamber 1. Fan motor 16 drives fan 15.
[0030] The lower cavity 2 includes a lower cavity frame 21 , a nitrogen pipe 23 and a protective plate; a heating plate 25 is arranged inside the lower cavity frame 21 , protective plates are arranged on both sides of the heating plate 25 , and the nitrogen pipe 23 is arranged below the heating plate 25 .
[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it.
