The furnace body 1 is structured with a preheating zone 3, a reflow zone 4 and a cooling zone 5 distributed in sequence. The preheating zone 3, the reflow zone 4 and the cooling zone 5 are distributed in sequence according to the conveying direction of the circuit board. A first partition is provided at the entrance and the exit of the reflow zone 4. The first partition can play a role in isolating the nitrogen filled in the reflow zone 4, and at the same time, it plays a role in isolating the air in the preheating zone 3 or the cooling zone 5. The first partition includes a door frame 6, and the door frame 6 is in a vertical direction. 6 is provided with a winding roller 7, the winding roller 7 is in a horizontal direction, a partition curtain 8 is wound on the winding roller 7, a bottom rod 9 is provided at the free end of the partition curtain 8, the bottom rod 9 is in a horizontal direction, and the door-shaped area of ​​the gantry 6 can be shielded by the cooperation of the bottom rod 9 and the partition curtain 8. The nitrogen filled into the reflow area 4 is isolated by the cooperation of the gantry 6, the partition curtain 8 and the bottom rod 9, and the air in the preheating area 3 or the cooling area 5 is isolated. A channel for the circuit board to pass through is formed between the bottom rod 9 and the double-track conveying device 2. The gantry 6 and the bottom rod 9 are provided with a second partition member acting on the channel. The second partition member can isolate the channel without affecting the normal passage of the circuit board.

[0026] When in use, the circuit board is transported horizontally by the double-track conveying device 2, and the circuit board passes through the preheating zone 3, the reflow zone 4 and the cooling zone 5 in sequence. When the circuit board passes through the reflow zone 4, nitrogen is filled into the reflow zone 4, and the nitrogen filled into the reflow zone 4 is blocked by the cooperation of the first partition member and the second partition member, and the air in the preheating zone 3 and the cooling zone 5 is blocked at the same time, so as to reduce the possibility of nitrogen diffusion from the reflow zone 4 to the preheating zone 3 and the cooling zone 5, and reduce the possibility of air diffusion from the preheating zone 3 and the cooling zone 5 to the reflow zone 4, which not only reduces the consumption of nitrogen, but also reduces the possibility of oxidation of the solder paste, thereby ensuring the welding effect;

[0027] To summarize, when the present application is in use, the nitrogen filled into the reflow zone 4 is isolated through the cooperation of the first partition member and the second partition member, and the air in the preheating zone 3 and the cooling zone 5 is isolated at the same time, thereby reducing the possibility of nitrogen diffusion from the reflow zone 4 to the preheating zone 3 and the cooling zone 5, and reducing the possibility of air diffusion from the preheating zone 3 and the cooling zone 5 to the reflow zone 4. This not only reduces the nitrogen consumption, but also reduces the possibility of oxidation of the solder paste, thereby ensuring the welding effect, and is therefore more practical.

[0028] like Figure 7-Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the winding roller 7 is rotatably arranged on the gantry 6, and two screw rods 10 are rotatably arranged in the gantry 6. The two screw rods 10 are both in the vertical direction and are spaced apart. The screw rod 10 is threadedly provided with a slider 11 that is slidably matched with the gantry 6 and connected to the bottom rod 9. The slider 11 slides in the vertical direction, and the two ends of the bottom rod 9 are respectively fixedly connected to the two sliders 11. The screw rod 10 and the winding roller 7 are connected by a bevel gear assembly 12. The bevel gear assembly 12 includes two meshing bevel gears, and the two bevel gears are respectively fixed on the screw rod 10 and the winding roller 7;

[0029] Referring to the above, when in use, the winding roller 7 is driven to rotate to roll up or loosen the partition curtain 8. At the same time, the two screw rods 10 are driven to rotate together through the two bevel gear assemblies 12 respectively, and the two sliders 11 slide together in the vertical direction due to the action of the threads. The bottom rod 9 moves with the two sliders 11, so that the height of the channel can be adjusted according to the size of the circuit board, thereby improving the flexibility and applicability of use.

[0030] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, two guide rollers 13 are rotatably disposed in the door frame 6 and are both rollingly overlapped with the partition curtain 8, and the two guide rollers 13 are both horizontal and spaced apart;

[0031] With reference to the above, when the winding roller 7 winds up or loosens the partition curtain 8, the two guide rollers 13 guide and limit the partition curtain 8 together to prevent the partition curtain 8 from being skewed and interfering.

[0032] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the furnace body 1 is provided with a driving member that acts on the two winding rollers 7 and drives the two to rotate synchronously;

[0033] With reference to the above, when in use, the two winding rollers 7 are driven to rotate synchronously by a driving member to achieve synchronous adjustment of the heights of the two channels, which improves the synchronization of use and makes the operation more convenient.

[0034] like Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the driving member includes a driving motor 14 arranged in the cooling zone 5, the driving motor 14 is fixed in the cooling zone 5 and the output shaft is in a horizontal direction, the two winding rollers 7 are connected by a pulley assembly 15, the pulley assembly 15 includes two pulleys and a connecting belt, the two pulleys are fixed on the two winding rollers 7, the connecting belt is wound on the two pulleys, the output shaft of the driving motor 14 is connected to one of the winding rollers 7 by a gear pair 16, the gear pair 16 includes two meshing gears, the two gears are fixed on the output shaft of the driving motor 14 and one of the winding rollers 7;

[0035] Referring to the above, when in use, the drive motor 14 works, the output shaft rotates, and one of the winding rollers 7 is driven to rotate through the gear pair 16, and the two winding rollers 7 are rotated synchronously through the pulley assembly 15. By arranging the drive motor 14 in the cooling zone 5, the heat dissipation effect of the drive motor 14 when working can be improved.

[0036] like Figure 3-Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, the second partition member includes a fixed tube 17 arranged on the gantry 6, the fixed tube 17 is horizontally oriented and fixedly arranged on the gantry 6, the free end of the fixed tube 17 passes through the furnace body 1, and a conical air duct 18 is arranged on the bottom rod 9, the air duct 18 is horizontally oriented and fixedly arranged on the bottom rod 9, the fixed tube 17 and the air duct 18 are connected through a plurality of hoses 19, and the plurality of hoses 19 are arranged in an array along the length direction of the fixed tube 17;

[0037] Referring to the above, when in use, nitrogen is filled into the fixed tube 17, and the nitrogen enters the wind tube 18 through multiple hoses 19. Thereafter, the nitrogen is blown out from the wind tube 18 into the channel and forms a wind wall. The wind wall can reduce the possibility of nitrogen diffusing from the reflow zone 4 to the preheating zone 3 and the cooling zone 5, and reduce the possibility of air diffusing from the preheating zone 3 and the cooling zone 5 to the reflow zone 4, thereby partitioning the channel without affecting the normal passage of the circuit board. When the bottom rod 9 moves, it drives the wind tube 18 to move together, and the hose 19 can keep the fixed tube 17 and the wind tube 18 always connected.

[0038] like Figure 3-Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the inner diameters of the multiple hoses 19 decrease successively along the length direction of the fixed tube 17. The closer to one end of the fixed tube 17 that passes through the furnace body 1, the smaller the inner diameter of the hose 19, and vice versa. This design can make the nitrogen flow rate and flow rate discharged through the multiple hoses 19 basically consistent, so that the wind wall can remain continuous and stable, and play a better partitioning role.

[0039] like Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, a three-way pipe 20 is provided on the furnace body 1, and the three-way pipe 20 is fixed on the furnace body 1, and two ends of the three-way pipe 20 are respectively connected to two fixed pipes 17;

[0040] Referring to the above, when in use, nitrogen is filled into the three-way pipe 20, and the nitrogen is split into two streams in the three-way pipe 20, and the two streams of nitrogen enter the two fixed pipes 17 respectively, so there is no need to fill nitrogen into the two fixed pipes 17 separately, which is more convenient to use.

[0041] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but will conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
