AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In traditional reflow soldering equipment, when the leads of through-hole components are inserted into the through-hole, too much solder paste is easily carried out, resulting in insufficient solder in the through-hole. In addition, the solder paste is easily blown into the reflow oven by the airflow, increasing the frequency of cleaning and maintenance and production costs.

Method used

The pin insertion is guided by a fixing ring and an elastic diaphragm. The solder paste on the sidewall of the pin is removed by a shearing mechanism. The distribution of the solder paste coating on the bottom of the pin is controlled by adjusting the air pressure to ensure that the solder paste is sufficient and not blown off.

Benefits of technology

This ensures a stable and sufficient amount of solder paste in the through-holes, avoids contamination of the solder paste in the reflow oven, extends the equipment cleaning and maintenance cycle, and reduces production costs.

Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of circuit board welding printing equipment, and particularly relates to a reflow soldering equipment for PCB processing. BACKGROUND

[0002] The reflow soldering equipment is a kind of equipment for realizing reliable connection of through-hole components and surface-mounted components and a PCB (printed circuit board) by using surface mounting technology and through-hole reflow soldering technology. The existing reflow soldering equipment comprises a tin paste coating mechanism, a patch mechanism and a reflow furnace. The tin paste coating mechanism is used for coating tin paste as solder at positions around the arrangement position of electronic components, and filling through holes of the PCB. The patch mechanism is used for arranging surface-mounted components on the PCB and inserting pins of the through-hole components into corresponding through holes. Then, the PCB is placed into the connection inlet of the reflow furnace by using a conveying mechanism. The PCB is heated by hot air in the reflow furnace, and the tin paste melts, wherein the auxiliary component volatilizes. The tin paste at the pins of the through-hole components includes solder around the top surface of the through hole and in the through hole. When heated, the tin paste reflows into the through hole to fill the through hole and complete the through-hole reflow soldering. The PCB after welding needs to be trimmed to complete the welding processing of the PCB.

[0003] However, in the process of using the traditional reflow soldering equipment, the pins of the through-hole components inserted into the through holes will take out the tin paste in the through holes for too long distance, and the tin paste in part of the through holes will adhere to the side surface and the bottom end of the pin to form a "match head", which leads to insufficient tin filling between the pin in the through hole and the inner wall of the through hole, and the hole rate of the through hole increases in the process of reflow soldering, and the phenomenon of false welding occurs. In addition, the tin paste adhered to the bottom end of the pin is easy to melt and fall into the reflow furnace under the blowing of the hot air in the reflow furnace, which shortens the period of cleaning and maintenance of the equipment during the through-hole reflow soldering process of the reflow furnace, and leads to the increase of production cost. SUMMARY

[0004] The present application provides a reflow soldering equipment for PCB processing, which has the advantages of ensuring sufficient tin paste content in the through hole and removing the tin paste adhered to the pin, so as to solve the problem that the tin paste in the through hole is easy to be taken out by the pin for too long distance, which leads to lack of solder in the through hole, and the tin paste is easy to be blown into the reflow furnace by air flow.

[0011] Further, the shearing mechanism comprises a driving mechanism and a shearing head, and the driving mechanism is used for driving the shearing head to move.

[0012] The shearing mechanism is matched to remove the tin paste at the bottom of the pin after the tin paste on the side wall of the pin is separated, so as to avoid the participation of the part of tin paste in the subsequent welding process.

[0013] Further, a support cavity is surrounded between the elastic diaphragm and the fixed ring, the inner side of the fixed ring is provided with an adjusting mechanism, and the adjusting mechanism can adjust the air pressure in the support cavity. After the pin is inserted into the communication hole, the air pressure is increased to make the inner side of the elastic diaphragm close to the pin.

[0017] Further, the bottom of the adjusting ring is fixedly connected with a moving ring, a reset spring is movably arranged in the adjusting cavity, and a wear-resistant block is arranged on one side of the shearing head.

[0019] Further, one side of the support is fixedly provided with a reflow furnace, and the bottom of the support is fixedly provided with a collection box.
