Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of screen printers, in particular to a solder paste screen printer with a path limiting function for printing solder paste on a circuit board. Background Art

[0002] Circuit board solder paste is a welding material used in surface mount technology (SMT), which is mainly a paste mixture of solder powder, flux and other additives. The solder paste screen printer is a key equipment in the production of surface mount technology (SMT), which is responsible for accurately printing the solder paste onto the pads on the PCB board.

[0003] According to the search, Chinese patent literature, announcement number: CN209649722U, discloses a screen printing machine with a clamping and adjustment function. A guide rail is provided on the upper surface of the workbench, and a clamp is slidably connected to the guide rail. A linear motor is provided between the clamp and the guide rail. In this way, the operator only needs to load and unload materials at the end of the guide rail away from the screen printing mechanism, and there is no need to be directly below the screen printing mechanism. The light is better, it is easier to align and clamp, and it is safer. After the substrate is clamped and fixed by the clamp, the linear motor can be started to transport it to the bottom of the screen printing mechanism to complete the leak printing.

[0004] However, the above screen printer uses a clamp to clamp the substrate during actual use, so that after printing a substrate, it needs to be manually removed from the clamp, and then the clamp is used again to clamp the new substrate, which is very cumbersome and troublesome; and the screen printer has no limited printing path, so the position of the substrate needs to be adjusted every time it is used. Therefore, we need to make improvements. Utility Model Content
