Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of automobiles, in particular to a PCB electrical component vibration reduction structure. Background Art

[0002] For fuel vehicles, the vehicle's gearbox is usually directly rigidly connected to the engine, and the vibration of the engine piston will be directly transmitted to the gearbox; in addition, the meshing of the gears inside the gearbox, the gears between the gears during the shifting process, the shift fork and the solenoid valve motor will all generate relatively high vibration excitation;

[0003] Transmission controller products are usually installed directly on the vehicle's transmission housing; as mentioned above, the transmission vibration excitation will be transmitted to the electronic devices on the PCB through the transmission controller's mounting feet; generally speaking, electronic devices are market standard parts, and the vibration resistance level of some capacitor and inductor products is much lower than the input of the transmission to the controller; under this condition, if there is no vibration reduction or other design to improve the vibration resistance performance of the device, that is, Figure 1 The gap at position A between the electrical component and the solder bracket shown in the figure will cause the electrical component to shift left and right, and the device on the PCB will usually fail in the gearbox installation environment.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the prior art generally uses two types of solutions:

[0005] The first type is to design the vibration damping pad so that the excitation transmitted to the electronic device is less than the allowable excitation of the device;

[0006] The second type is to use glue to reinforce the device, including applying glue on the top of the device to achieve the effect of adding a fixing point, or directly applying glue to the device pins to achieve the reinforcement of the pins;

[0007] Both of the above methods have some drawbacks and cannot completely solve the problem of vibration reduction of electrical components;

[0008] The use of vibration damping pads can usually only filter out the vibration excitation of the high-frequency part, and has an amplifying effect on the vibration excitation of the low-frequency part; this method may not fully meet the design function requirements, and will increase some parts and thus increase product costs.

[0009] Using glue to fix the top of the device has limited effect on improving the product. For example, the calculation and simulation show that in the vibration-sensitive direction of the integrated inductor made of powder metallurgy, the rigidity of the adhesive glue is small, resulting in insignificant constraint on the top of the inductor, and almost no improvement in the first-order mode and pin stress values. Using glue to reinforce the pins of the device often introduces additional expensive hard glue and requires the addition of a special glue coating device, which significantly increases production costs. Utility Model Content

[0010] A series of simplified concepts are introduced in the utility model content section, which are all simplifications of the prior art in the field, which will be further described in detail in the specific implementation section. The utility model content section of the utility model does not mean to attempt to define the key features and necessary technical features of the technical solution claimed for protection, nor does it mean to attempt to determine the scope of protection of the technical solution claimed for protection.

[0011] The technical problem to be solved by the utility model is to provide a PCB electrical component vibration reduction structure which can enhance the vibration reduction between electrical components (especially powder metallurgy inductors) and PCB.

[0012] In order to solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides a PCB electrical component vibration reduction structure, comprising: the side wall and the bottom wall of the electrical component 1 are formed with a welding bracket 2, the electrical lead 3 is fixed in the welding bracket 2, the electrical lead 3 is welded and fixed to the PCB 5 through the welding part 4, and also includes:

[0013] The vibration-damping portion 6 is formed in the gap between the welding bracket 2 , the electrical lead 3 and the electrical component 1 .

[0014] Optionally, the PCB electrical component vibration reduction structure is further improved, and the vibration reduction part 6 fills the gap;

[0015] Alternatively, the vibration damping portion 6 partially fills the gap.

[0016] Optionally, the PCB electrical component vibration reduction structure is further improved, and the vibration reduction portion 6 is formed into a spatial mesh distribution to fill the gap.

[0017] Spatial structure refers to an irregular shape that is not in a certain plane, such as a three-dimensional spatial spider web structure. The spatial mesh structure can effectively connect electrical components, welding brackets and electrical leads into a whole to reduce vibration, and select suitable materials to make the spatial mesh structure, such as flexible metal, solder, copper, etc. The spatial mesh structure will have a certain yield, allowing for slight deformation, which can further reduce vibration.

[0018] Optionally, the PCB electrical component vibration reduction structure is further improved, and the vibration reduction portion 6 is fixedly connected to the welding portion 4 at least at one point, and the connection and fixation with the welding portion 4 is to form an integrated structure to reduce vibration.

[0019] Optionally, the PCB electrical component vibration reduction structure is further improved, and the vibration reduction part 6 is formed into a plurality of parts.

[0020] Optionally, the PCB electrical component vibration reduction structure is further improved, and two opposite connections are formed at both ends of each vibration reduction part 6, the first connection is fixedly connected to the electrical lead 3, and the second connection is fixedly connected to the electrical component 1 and / or the welding bracket 2. For example, it is formed into a dumbbell shape.

[0021] Optionally, the PCB electrical component vibration reduction structure is further improved, and the vibration reduction part 6 partially fills the gap, and partially filling the gap is to reserve thermal expansion space for the vibration reduction part. Vibration only occurs when the vehicle is working, and vibration reduction is only required when it is working. When the electrical components are working, heat is generated. By making the vibration reduction part of iron, aluminum, copper or magnesium, the gap is filled as the vehicle is working, and a good vibration reduction effect can be formed.

[0022] Optionally, the PCB electrical component vibration reduction structure is further improved, and the vibration reduction part 6 is solder.

[0023] The working principle of the present utility model is explained using an inductor as an electrical element as follows;

[0024] Due to vibration excitation, the product's corresponding vibration displacement (i.e., amplitude) is formed in the vibration sensitive direction between the inductor body and the inductor pin. The inductor pin can be regarded as a cantilever beam, and the root of the pin (i.e., the soldering position) is the fixed point of the cantilever beam. The pin head is the position of the maximum deflection of the cantilever beam, which is caused by the displacement of the inductor body in space. The greater the displacement of the inductor body in space, the greater the deflection of the cantilever beam. For the same structure, the stress generated at the maximum stress point is also greater.

[0025] After adding the vibration damping part, since the space between the inductor pin and the inductor body is filled with the vibration damping part, taking solder as an example, the height of the solder is higher than the lowest height of the inductor body; during the vibration process, due to the existence of the internal solder, the internal solder of the two pins will constrain the vibration displacement of the inductor body, thereby reducing the maximum stress at the theoretical maximum stress point of the inductor of the structure and increasing the resonant frequency of the inductor itself; thereby reducing the failure risk of the inductor during the vibration process;

[0026] It should be noted that the best solution is to use solder paste to form the vibration reduction part. Since solder paste is used in the PCBA assembly process, the utility model does not need to introduce additional parts to improve the vibration resistance of electrical components (inductors); it reduces production investment and raw material costs, and can reduce production process steps without increasing production costs. Compared with the prior art, the solution of using vibration reduction pads and glue coating can reduce production costs. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
