Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of tin sheet production equipment technology, specifically to a tin sheet forming mold. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of metal pressure processing molds, especially in the soldering process of large-area pads on the bottom of packaged devices, the forming quality of the solder sheet directly determines the solder void rate. Current technologies mostly employ direct soldering of ordinary structures or solder paste application processes for the solder sheet, which have significant shortcomings.
[0003] First, the molding structure is simple, resulting in serious air bubble residue during soldering and a high bottom void rate, which cannot meet the requirements of high-reliability packaging. Second, after the tin sheet is formed, surface cleaning, flux coating, and mold maintenance rely on manual labor or scattered equipment. The disconnect between processes leads to low production efficiency, and incomplete cleaning and uneven coating further aggravate the void problem. Third, traditional molds lack integrated intelligent detection and self-maintenance mechanisms. Wear of the upper punch and debris residue need to be checked manually, making it difficult to guarantee molding accuracy. The overall process does not meet the development requirements of automation, integration, and intelligence in the intelligent manufacturing equipment industry. Therefore, we propose a tin sheet forming mold. Summary of the Invention

[0014] A method for using a forming mold for tin sheets, applicable to one of the forming molds for tin sheets mentioned above, includes the following steps:
[0015] S1, place the solder sheet inside the lower die assembly, start the output shaft of the hydraulic rod to drive the upper punch to move downward and first contact the solder sheet. Through plastic deformation, the internal grid and bump structure are imprinted. The upper punch continues to move downward and cooperates with the lower die assembly to punch out the shape of the solder sheet.
[0016] S2, the upper punch returns via the hydraulic rod, and under the action of the electric ejector plate, it pushes the formed irregular tin sheet out of the lower die assembly. After the tin sheet is ejected but before it is completely separated, the coating assembly is activated to clean the outside of the tin sheet with airflow, and the curing assembly is activated to perform atomized spraying.
[0017] S3, driven by a robotic arm, moves the industrial control mechanism between the upper punch and the lower die assembly. The cleaning component inspects and replaces the upper punch after production, and the detection component detects and removes the finished solder sheets for sorting.
[0018] Compared with the prior art, the present invention provides a molding die for tin sheets, which has the following beneficial effects:
[0019] 1. This invention uses an array of raised dots (with a height consistent with the total thickness of the tin sheet) at the lower end of the upper punch and an air guide grid with a height slightly lower than the total thickness of the tin sheet to imprint a pre-designed irregular grid and raised dot structure on the surface of the tin sheet. At the same time, the air guide grid forms an interconnected network of air guide channels, effectively expelling air during the forming process and avoiding residual air bubbles, thus reducing the welding void rate from the structural source. Four hydraulic rods synchronously drive the upper punch downward, and with the guide structure of the fixed frame, ensure the parallelism of the upper punch, so that the force is uniform during the imprinting and punching process, resulting in high dimensional accuracy of the tin sheet and neat punched edges. This solves the forming defect problem caused by uneven force on the mold in the prior art.
[0020] 2. Existing technologies often involve separate or manual operations for cleaning the surface of solder sheets and applying flux, resulting in incomplete cleaning and uneven coating. The guiding mechanism of this invention integrates a coating component and a curing component. Compressed argon gas is flexibly blown through a rubber hose to clean the surface of the solder sheet and the mold cavity, while impurities are simultaneously adsorbed by a vacuum extraction pipe, achieving integrated cleaning of physical blowing and vacuum adsorption. After cleaning, an electric atomizing spray head simultaneously sprays flux. Utilizing the high hydrophilicity of the cleaned solder sheet, the flux forms a uniform and defect-free film, significantly improving the wettability of the solder sheet during soldering and effectively reducing the void rate at the bottom of the solder joint. The curing and coating components of the guiding mechanism can be retracted into the transverse groove of the lower mold body via a first electric telescopic rod, achieving integrated storage of the auxiliary mechanism and the mold body without occupying additional space. This solves the problem of separate surface treatment equipment and molds, and scattered layout in existing technologies, making the mold structure more compact and the production cycle more consistent.
[0021] 3. This invention utilizes a cleaning component within an industrial control mechanism. A first industrial camera monitors the usage status of the upper punch in real time, and the flexible tabs of the cleaning shaft can be embedded into the gaps of the air guide grid to deeply clean residual debris. When the upper punch is determined to be unsuitable for production, a flexible electric clamp can automatically clamp and replace it, achieving an automated closed loop of detection, cleaning, and replacement of the core components of the mold. This significantly improves mold maintenance efficiency and avoids subjective errors from manual operation. The detection component, through multi-dimensional detection using a second industrial camera and a grating sensor, combined with automated adsorption and sorting by a vacuum suction cup, achieves full-dimensional detection and sorting of the size, structure, and appearance of the finished tin sheets. This solves the problems of low efficiency and high misjudgment rate in existing manual sorting techniques, ensuring that only qualified products enter subsequent processes and improving product yield. The robotic arm drives the industrial control mechanism to move precisely between mold maintenance and finished product inspection processes, achieving automated continuous operation of molding, cleaning, inspection, and sorting processes. This replaces the manual transfer between multiple processes in existing technologies, significantly improving production efficiency and meeting the automation and intelligent development requirements of the intelligent manufacturing equipment industry.

The lower end of the upper punch 3 is provided with protrusions. The height of the protrusions of the upper punch 3 is the same as the total thickness of the tin sheet. The protrusions of the upper punch 3 are distributed in an array.
[0039] Specifically, the height of the multiple sets of air guide grids at the lower end of the upper punch 3 is slightly lower than the total thickness of the tin sheet, which can guide air and prevent air bubbles from being generated during forming; the array of bumps at its lower end, which are the same height as the total thickness of the tin sheet, imprint the preset grid and bump structure on the surface of the tin sheet through plastic deformation. At the same time, the upper punch 3 and the lower die assembly 5 cooperate to complete the punching and forming process of the tin sheet shape.

The grating sensor 829 is installed at the lower end of the first slide rail 821 to perform initial position and contour detection of the tin sheet and cooperate with the second industrial camera 828 to determine the finished state of the tin sheet.
[0054] A method for using a forming mold for tin sheets, applicable to one of the forming molds for tin sheets mentioned above, includes the following steps:
[0055] S1, place the tin sheet inside the lower die assembly 5, start the output shaft of the hydraulic rod 2 to drive the upper punch 3 to move downward and first contact the tin sheet. Through plastic deformation, the internal grid and bump structure are imprinted. The upper punch 3 continues to move downward and cooperates with the lower die assembly 5 to punch out the shape of the tin sheet.
[0056] S2, the upper punch 3 returns through the hydraulic rod 2, and under the action of the electric ejector plate, pushes the formed irregular tin sheet out of the lower die assembly 5. After the tin sheet is ejected and before it is completely separated, the coating assembly 62 is started to clean the outside of the tin sheet with airflow, and the curing assembly 61 is started to perform atomized spraying.
[0057] S3, the robotic arm 7 drives the industrial control mechanism 8 to move between the upper punch 3 and the lower die assembly 5. The cleaning component 81 checks the post-production status of the upper punch 3 and replaces it. The detection component 82 detects and removes the finished solder sheets for sorting.
[0058] Working principle: During use, the solder sheet is precisely placed inside the assembly groove 52 of the lower die body 51. The four hydraulic rods 2 above the inner wall of the fixing frame 1 are activated by the mold integrated control system. Their output shafts synchronously drive the upper punch 3 to descend linearly along the guide structure of the fixing frame 1. It first contacts the surface of the solder sheet. Using the array of protrusions at the lower end of the upper punch 3, whose height is consistent with the total thickness of the solder sheet, and the air guide grid whose height is slightly lower than the total thickness of the solder sheet, the preset grid and protrusion structure are imprinted on the surface of the solder sheet through plastic deformation. The upper punch 3 continues to descend and precisely cooperates with the lower die assembly 5 to complete the punching and forming process of the solder sheet shape.
[0059] After the upper punch 3 is driven back by the hydraulic rod 2, the mold control system immediately links with multiple electric ejector plates inside the assembly groove 52 to push the formed shaped tin sheet upward. When the tin sheet is ejected to the critical state before it is completely separated from the assembly groove 52, the guide mechanism 6 is activated in conjunction with the mold body to realize the continuous connection between the forming process and the core process of the mold. First, start the coating assembly 62: start the second motor 622 on the fixed plate 621, whose output shaft drives the rotating plate 623 to rotate. Multiple locking rods 624 arranged along the semi-circular arc at the front end of the rotating plate 623 periodically engage two symmetrical locking racks 627 on the inner wall of the limiting frame 626. Through the limiting frame 626, the two sliding plates 625 are driven to slide back and forth along the fixed plate 621. One of the sliding plates 625 synchronously drives the gas supply pipe 616 slidably connected to the inner side of the fixed bracket 613 to move synchronously. The compressed argon gas entering through the pipeline at the inlet of the gas supply pipe 616 is diverted through multiple exhaust valves 617. Multiple rubber hoses 618 connected to the outlet pipe of the exhaust valve 617 are used to precisely blow the surface of the tin sheet and the mold cavity of the assembly slot 52. The airflow drives the rubber hoses 618 to swing flexibly, physically cleaning the metal debris and dust attached to the mold cavity and the surface of the tin sheet, ensuring the cleanliness of the tin sheet surface.
[0060] While the coating component 62 is being purged, the curing component 61 is activated in conjunction: the first motor 6112 at the rear end of the lower die body 51 is activated, and its output shaft drives the first threaded rod 6110 to rotate. The moving block 611, which is threadedly connected to the first threaded rod 6110, moves linearly along the longitudinal groove 54, and the other moving block 611 slides synchronously along the guide rod 6111 to ensure the parallelism and stability of the movement of the two moving blocks 611. The moving block 611 drives the fixed bracket 613 to move along the inner side of the transverse groove 55 through the first electric telescopic rod 612, covering the entire tin sheet processing area. The vacuum extraction pipe 619 near the front end of the upper part of the moving block 611 moves synchronously along the guide groove 53, adsorbing and removing impurities and tiny particles blown up in real time, avoiding secondary pollution caused by impurities falling, and realizing integrated cleaning of blowing and adsorption; while the cleaning process is progressing, multiple electric atomizing spray heads 615 on the outside of the flux tank 614 on the upper part of the fixed bracket 613 are started simultaneously, spraying flux onto the cleaned solder sheet surface. Utilizing the high hydrophilicity of the cleaned solder sheet surface, the flux forms a uniform and defect-free film, improving the subsequent performance of the solder sheet. After the guide mechanism 6 completes the cleaning and spraying process, the first electric telescopic rod 612 drives the fixed bracket 613 and the integrated curing component 61 and coating component 62 above to retract into the transverse groove 55 to reset, ensuring that the upper part of the lower mold body 51 remains horizontal, providing a flat working surface for the next molding process, and realizing the integrated storage of the mold auxiliary mechanism and the main body;
[0061] After the guiding mechanism completes its 6th process, the mold control system activates the robotic arm 7 mounted at the front end of the fixed frame 1. Its output shaft drives the industrial control mechanism 8 to precisely move to the preset position between the upper punch 3 and the lower die assembly 5, realizing the automated connection between mold core component maintenance and finished product processing. First, the cleaning assembly 81 is activated: the second electric telescopic rod 812 on the upper end of the assembly plate 811 is activated, and its output shaft drives the flexible electric clamp 813 to move upward towards the upper punch 3. At the same time, the first industrial camera 814 on the housing of the flexible electric clamp 813 collects the post-use status image of the lower end of the upper punch 3 in real time and transmits it to the control system for analysis. Simultaneously, the two third electric telescopic rods 816 on the inner side of the base plate 815 are activated, and their output shafts drive the cleaning shaft 819 to precisely fit against the lower end surface of the upper punch 3 through the locking block 817. The third motor 818 is activated to drive the cleaning shaft 819 to rotate. Multiple flexible protrusions on the outer side of the cleaning shaft 819 are embedded into the air guide grid gaps of the upper punch 3 to deeply clean the debris remaining in the grid. After cleaning, the first industrial camera 814 collects images again. The control system evaluates whether the upper punch 3 meets the requirements for the next production. If it is determined that the production status is not met, the control system immediately links the flexible electric clamp 813 to accurately clamp the upper punch 3 and complete the automatic replacement, realizing the intelligent detection, maintenance and replacement of the core components of the mold.
[0062] After the cleaning component 81 completes its work, the detection component 82 is activated under the linkage of the control system: the grating sensor 829 at the lower end of the first slide rail 821 is turned on to perform initial position and contour detection on the finished tin sheet in the assembly slot 52; the fourth motor 822 on one side of the first slide rail 821 is activated, and its output shaft drives the inner second threaded rod 823 to rotate. Using the opposing threads on the outer side of the second threaded rod 823, the two limit blocks 824 are driven to move synchronously in opposite directions along the slide groove of the first slide rail 821, thereby driving the second slide rail 825 at the lower end of the limit block 824 to achieve lateral position adjustment; the fourth electric telescopic rod 826 at both ends of the second slide rail 825 is activated simultaneously to drive the vacuum suction cup 827 and the second industrial camera 828 on the outer side of the vacuum suction cup 827 housing to move longitudinally along the second slide rail 825, forming a two-dimensional moving detection trajectory. The second industrial camera 828 acquires real-time images of the grid, bump structure, and dimensions of the tin sheet surface. These images are then fused with the detection data from the grating sensor 829, and the control system accurately determines the finished product's status. After the determination is complete, the vacuum suction cup 827 precisely picks up the finished tin sheet, and the robotic arm 7 carries the tin sheet out of the mold area. The tin sheet is then automatically sorted according to the detection results, achieving integrated detection and sorting operations.
