TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The ultrasonic scanning detection technology is the most important non-destructive testing technology in the quality assurance work of plastic encapsulated components, which can extremely sensitively detect discontinuous defects such as delamination, cracking and cavity in the surface of the internal chip and the wire bonding area of the package or component without damaging the detected material and component. At present, the variety and quantity of plastic encapsulated components used in aerospace products are increasing, and in the actual quality assurance work, various encapsulated components of different forms will be encountered, which requires the development of various ultrasonic scanning test devices for the ultrasonic scanning detection test of the components.
[0003] There are various test fixing methods for ultrasonic scanning detection of components at home and abroad, and the commonly used fixing methods include the test device method and the glue sticking method. The glue sticking method is theoretically suitable for the fixing of various encapsulated components, but the glue sticking method is not reliable for the ultrasonic scanning detection test of complex encapsulated components or electrostatic sensitive components, and is easy to cause obvious damage such as product contamination and pin deformation and may cause hidden damage to the components. The test device method is generally designed and manufactured according to specific needs, but the test device is easy to deform when repeatedly immersed in water, which leads to the ineffective limiting of the components. At the same time, the above-mentioned methods will produce small bubbles when the components are immersed in water, which will directly affect the determination of the ultrasonic scanning detection results. At the same time, the test methods and standards for different encapsulated components are not perfect at the present stage, the test is greatly affected by subjective factors, and the difference in test operation method has a great influence on the determination of the test results.

[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0028] Example 1
[0029] The present invention provides a mass production ultrasonic scanning device for plastic-encapsulated devices, comprising an ultrasonic scanning device, a main body, and several sub-tooling fixtures; the assembly formed by the main body and the several sub-tooling fixtures is as follows: Figure 1 As shown.
[0030] like Figure 2 As shown, the main body consists of a square groove 2-1, a base 2-2, a water inlet 2-3, and an air outlet 2-4. On the bottom plane of the square groove 2-1, parallel to its length, is a T-slot slide 2-5 for mating with the sub-tooling. The base 2-2 is located around the bottom of the square groove 2-1 to support the main body in the water tank of the ultrasonic scanning equipment; the support height of the base 2-2 is adjustable. The water inlet 2-3 is located on the side wall of the square groove 2-1 and connects to the water pump pipe of an external water pump. It generates negative pressure during scanning, drawing water through the micropores on the sub-tooling to remove air bubbles from the surface of the encapsulated device and adsorb the encapsulated device onto the surface of the sub-tooling. The air outlet 2-4 is located on the side wall of the square groove 2-1 and connects to an external heat source to quickly dry water stains on the surface of the encapsulated device and the sub-tooling.
[0031] like Figure 3 As shown, the sub-tool adopts a cubic structure, with a T-shaped tenon machined at the bottom to match the T-shaped groove slide 2-5, and multiple micro-holes machined on the surface for water circulation; several sub-tools are arranged in a matrix array in the square groove 2-1 by the T-shaped tenon and the T-shaped groove slide 2-5.
[0032] In this embodiment, the square groove 2-1 is a groove structure of 253mm×253mm, with a groove wall thickness of 3mm, a groove height of 30mm, and a flatness controlled at 0.01mm / m. The main body and sub-tooling of the device are made of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) material, which has electrostatic properties and ensures that the deformation rate is ≤0.03% under temperature cycling from -50℃ to 125℃.
[0033] The flow rate at water inlet 2-3 is 2-10 L / min, and the air velocity at air outlet 2-4 is 3-5 m / s.
[0034] Each sub-tool adopts a standard unit size of 50mm×50mm×30mm, and each main body can hold 25 sub-bodies, which can meet the batch testing needs of 25 specifications in a single batch.
[0035] In one embodiment, the square groove 2-1 can be designed as a circumferentially semi-enclosed groove structure with three sidewalls, such as... Figure 2 As shown, at this time, the tails of the five sub-tools on the side without sidewalls are not pre-drilled with microholes to ensure overall sealing. The other 20 sub-tools have multiple microholes with a diameter of 2mm processed on their upper and lower surfaces and around their perimeter. When the main body starts pumping water, the water flow will be drawn out and the air bubbles on the surface of the plastic-encapsulated device will be removed by negative pressure to more firmly adsorb the plastic-encapsulated device onto the upper surface of the sub-tool.
[0036] In another embodiment, the square groove 2-1 can be designed as a circumferentially closed groove structure containing three fixed sidewalls and one movable sidewall. When the movable sidewall is opened, the T-shaped tenon and the T-shaped groove slide 2-5 can be installed. When the movable sidewall is locked, the whole is sealed. At this time, multiple micro-holes with a diameter of 2mm are machined on the upper and lower surfaces and around the 25 sub-tools. This makes it easier to mass-produce the sub-tools and improves the assembly efficiency.
[0037] The tooling has a 3mm wide raised edge around its perimeter for easy fixation of encapsulated components.

When the water covers the surface of the plastic encapsulated device, observe the surface condition of the plastic encapsulated device.

[0048] (2) Parameter setting: Select the scanning mode and set parameters including frequency, gain, threshold, etc. to ensure that the final scanned image is complete and clear.
[0049] Step 4: Perform scanning and analysis
[0050] (1) Confirm that all parameters are set correctly and start the scanning program in the ultrasonic scanning equipment software;
[0051] (2) The ultrasonic scanning equipment automatically controls the probe to scan along a preset path of 253mm×253mm, or scans each area in a 50mm×50mm pattern to form a complete image.
[0052] (3) After scanning, the generated image is analyzed to determine whether there are defects inside the plastic encapsulated device, and the location of the sub-tooling where the defective plastic encapsulated device is located is recorded.
[0053] Step 5: Draining and in-situ drying
[0054] (1) Scanning structure and probe return: After the scan is completed, the control ultrasonic scanning equipment software issues an end command, and the probe automatically moves to a safe position;
[0055] (2) Discharge coupling medium: Open the drain valve of the ultrasonic scanning equipment to completely drain the deionized water in the water tank, ensuring that the water on the sub-tools and plastic-encapsulated devices is drained.
