Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of wave soldering, in particular to a soldering carrier suitable for wave soldering. Background Art

[0002] Wave soldering is to make the soldering surface of the PCB board directly contact with high-temperature liquid tin to achieve the purpose of soldering. The high-temperature liquid tin maintains an inclined surface, and a special device is used to make the tin liquid form a wave-like phenomenon, so it is called "wave soldering". During the wave soldering process, the PCB board is generally placed on a soldering carrier. The existing soldering carrier vibrates on the transport track and during the soldering process, the material will float due to the surge of the tin liquid wave. In addition, due to the large size of the PCB board and the fact that it is a single-sided board, the PCB board will be deformed after the heat expansion after wave soldering, and this type of defect is not easy to detect. Usually, the abnormality is discovered when the customer assembles it, which is prone to customer complaints.

[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] See also Figures 1 to 6 , a welding carrier provided in this embodiment includes a base 1 and a pressing assembly 2.

[0029] The base 1 is provided with a receiving groove 11 and a plurality of through holes 12. The receiving groove 11 is recessed in the top wall of the base 1. The shape of the receiving groove 11 matches the shape of the PCB to be soldered. The plurality of through holes 12 are arranged vertically and horizontally on the bottom of the receiving groove 11. The through holes 12 penetrate the base 1 from the bottom of the receiving groove 11, so that the tin liquid can enter from the through holes 12 and contact the bottom surface of the PCB. Generally, the position of the through hole 12 corresponds to the part on the PCB that needs to be soldered.

[0030] In order to ensure the position accuracy of the PCB board when it is placed in the receiving groove 11, two positioning columns 13 are provided on the base 1 in this embodiment. The two positioning columns 13 are respectively arranged at the diagonals of the receiving groove 11, and the positioning columns 13 are arranged in the receiving groove 11 and protrude from the bottom of the receiving groove 11, so as to cooperate and connect with the positioning holes on the PCB board.

[0031] The pressing assembly 2 includes a pressing plate 21, a flexible pressing block 22 and a plurality of elastic pressing columns 23. The first side of the pressing plate 21 is hinged on the first side of the base 1, and the second side of the pressing plate 21 can be flipped up and down around the first side, so that the pressing plate 21 can be superimposed on the top of the base 1. Specifically, a fixed hinge 16 is provided on the first side of the base 1, and the fixed hinge 16 protrudes from the top wall of the base 1; a movable hinge 25 is provided on the first side of the pressing plate 21, and the movable hinge 25 protrudes from the bottom wall of the pressing plate 21. The movable hinge 25 is connected to the fixed hinge 16 through a hinge shaft, so that the pressing plate 21 can be flipped to the top of the base 1, and the pressing plate 21 is arranged parallel to the base 1.

[0032] The elastic pressure column 23 and the flexible pressure block 22 are both arranged on the pressure plate 21 and protrude from the bottom wall of the pressure plate 21. When the pressure plate 21 is turned over to the top of the base 1, the pressure plate 21 is substantially parallel to the base 1, the flexible pressure block 22 and the elastic pressure column 23 are both arranged corresponding to the upper and lower sides of the receiving groove 11, and a plurality of elastic pressure columns 23 are distributed in the entire receiving groove 11, so as to be conveniently and dispersedly pressed on the entire top wall of the PCB board. Specifically, part of the elastic pressure column 23 presses the edge of the PCB board, and the other part of the elastic pressure column 23 presses the middle part of the PCB board. The elastic pressure column 23 can be elastically extended and retracted along its own axial direction. When the elastic pressure column 23 abuts against the PCB board, the elastic pressure column 23 slightly retracts upwards, ensuring that the elastic pressure column 23 always applies a downward elastic force to the PCB board. The elastic force is opposite to the force when the PCB board is deformed by heat, and can limit the deformation of the PCB board. The elastic pressure column 23 includes a fixed portion 231, a telescopic portion 232 and an elastic member 34 (not shown in the figure). The fixed portion 231 is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 21, the telescopic portion 232 is movably connected to the fixed portion 231, and the elastic member 34 is elastically connected between the fixed portion 231 and the telescopic portion 232.

[0033] The flexible pressing block 22 is made of high temperature resistant flexible material, preferably high temperature resistant sponge material, and the flexible pressing block 22 itself can be elastically retracted. The distance that the elastic pressing column 23 protrudes from the bottom wall of the pressing plate 21 is greater than or equal to the distance that the flexible pressing block 22 protrudes from the bottom wall of the pressing plate 21, that is, the end wall of the free end of the elastic pressing column 23 protrudes from the surface of the flexible pressing block 22, so that the elastic pressing column 23 has a sufficient length to ensure that the elastic pressing column 23 can fully contact the PCB board, and the flexible pressing block 22 contacts the vertical plug-in component on the PCB board and presses the vertical plug-in component downward to prevent the vertical plug-in component from floating up during the welding process. The vertical plug-in component can be a micro switch, a buzzer, etc.

[0034] Since the flexible pressing block 22 is relatively soft, in order to increase the pressing force of the flexible pressing block 22 against the plug-in element, the pressing assembly 2 of this embodiment further includes a fixing block 24, which is connected to the bottom wall of the pressing plate 21, and the flexible pressing block 22 is arranged on the fixing block 24. The fixing block 24 is made of a high temperature resistant rigid material.

[0035] Due to the large size of the PCB board, the number of the flexible pressing blocks 22 is set to be more than two. In this embodiment, three flexible pressing blocks 22 are taken as an example, the number of the fixed blocks 24 is equal to the number of the flexible pressing blocks 22, and the fixed blocks 24 are arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the flexible pressing blocks 22. The three flexible pressing blocks 22 are arranged along the first preset direction of the receiving groove 11, and each flexible pressing block 22 extends perpendicular to the first preset direction.

The ribs 14 protrude from the top wall of the base 1, and two adjacent ribs 14 are sealed and connected to prevent the tin liquid from entering the receiving groove 11 from the upper part of the base.

[0040] In order to facilitate the placement and removal of the PCB board, two avoidance grooves 15 are also provided on the base 1. The two avoidance grooves 15 are respectively arranged on the opposite sides of the accommodating groove 11, preferably on both sides in the length direction. The avoidance grooves 15 are recessed in the top wall of the base 1.
