SMT printer is mainly used in the surface mounting process in the electronics manufacturing industry. It is the first process in the entire SMT production line and also the key link in the production process.

[0003] A Chinese patent document with authorization announcement number CN220535190U proposes a positioning device for a high-precision fully automatic solder paste printer, including a workbench, a perforated plate is fixedly connected to the top left side of the workbench, motors are fixedly connected to the front and rear ends of the top left side of the workbench, threaded columns are fixedly connected to the output ends of the motors, lifting blocks are threadedly connected to the middle and upper parts of the threaded columns, and a through opening is provided in the middle and upper part of the perforated plate.

[0004] In the above application, although the circuit board is limited by being squeezed and fixed by extrusion plates one and two, and the lifting block moves up and down under the sliding limit of the slide groove, the steel mesh is not limited, which may cause the steel mesh to shake during printing, thereby causing printing deviations. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of the problems existing in the background technology, a stencil positioning device for an SMT printer is proposed.

[0006] The utility model provides a steel mesh positioning device for an SMT printer, comprising two vertically symmetrically arranged substrates, a transverse clamping assembly, a longitudinal clamping assembly and a limiting assembly. The transverse clamping assembly is arranged between the two substrates to clamp and position the transverse sides of the steel mesh.

[0021] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the utility model proposes a SMT printing machine steel mesh positioning device, comprising two vertically symmetrically arranged substrates 1, a transverse clamping assembly 2, a longitudinal clamping assembly 3 and a limiting assembly 4. The transverse clamping assembly 2 is arranged between the two substrates 1 to clamp and position the lateral sides of the steel mesh. The longitudinal clamping assembly 3 is arranged on the transverse clamping assembly 2 to clamp the longitudinal sides of the steel mesh. The limiting assembly 4 is arranged on the two substrates 1 to fix and limit the longitudinal clamping assembly 3.

[0022] Further explanation, the transverse clamping assembly 2 includes two bidirectional screw rods 21 symmetrically connected to the two base plates 1; one end of the two bidirectional screw rods 21 is connected to a driving mechanism 22, and two clamping frames 23 are symmetrically threadedly connected to the two bidirectional screw rods 21; the driving mechanism 22 is a motor. The clamping frames 23 can tighten and position the lateral sides of the steel mesh.

[0023] Further explanation, the two clamping frames 23 are opposite to each other and are both L-shaped. The bottom of the clamping frame 23 is used to place the steel mesh, and the side wall is used to clamp and position the steel mesh.

[0024] Further explanation, the side walls of the two base plates 1 are provided with a slide groove 1 31; the side walls of the two clamping frames 23 are provided with a slide groove 2 32; the longitudinal clamping assembly 3 includes two clamping plates 1 33; the two clamping plates 1 33 respectively penetrate the two slide grooves 1 31 and the two slide grooves 2 32, and are respectively slidably connected with the two slide grooves 1 31 and the two slide grooves 2 32; the lower ends of the two clamping plates 1 33 are provided with a slide groove 34; the slide grooves 3 34 are symmetrically slidably connected with two clamping plates 2 35; the two clamping plates 2 35 are respectively slidably connected with the slide grooves 4 36 provided at the bottom of the clamping frame 23. The two clamping plates 1 33 can clamp the steel mesh from both sides of the longitudinal direction of the steel mesh, and the position adjustment of the clamping plates 1 33 is relatively flexible, so that any type of steel mesh can be clamped, and the steel mesh can be positioned at different positions, thereby expanding the scope of application and meeting different needs. The setting of the clamping plates 2 35 enables the longitudinal clamping assembly 3 to clamp a relatively flat steel mesh.

[0025] Further explanation, the two clamping frames 23 and the two clamping plates 33 are arranged in parallel to make the position of the steel mesh regular and avoid the steel mesh being skewed, thereby affecting printing.

[0026] Further explanation, the second slide slot 32 is provided at the upper end of the side wall of the clamping frame 23. This prevents the steel mesh from extending from the second slide slot 32, thereby causing the clamping frame 23 to lose its positioning function on the steel mesh.

[0027] Further explanation, the limiting assembly 4 is symmetrically arranged with two groups about the two clamping plates 1 33; the limiting assembly 4 includes a fixing plate 41 arranged at the side wall of the base plate 1; the lower end of the fixing plate 41 is connected with a plurality of springs 42; the lower ends of the plurality of springs 42 are commonly connected with a rack 1 43; the upper ends of the two clamping plates 1 33 are provided with a rack 2 44 that is engaged with the rack 1 43. The two clamping plates 1 33 can be limited to avoid the position of the clamping plates 1 33 from being offset, so that the clamping of the clamping plates 1 33 on the steel mesh is more stable.

[0028] The transverse clamping component 2, the longitudinal clamping component 3 and the limiting component 4 cooperate with each other to stably clamp the steel mesh, thereby preventing the steel mesh from shaking when applying solder paste or printing, thereby ensuring smooth application of the solder paste and improving the accuracy of the printing position.

[0029] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: two substrates 1 are fixedly installed in the printing machine respectively. When working, the steel mesh is first placed on the two clamping frames 23, and then the driving mechanism 22 is started to drive the bidirectional screw 21 to rotate, so that the two clamping frames 23 move relative to each other and clamp the lateral sides of the steel mesh. When the clamping frames 23 move, the second clamping plate 35 will follow the clamping frames 23 to slide in the sliding groove 34. Then push the steel mesh to a suitable position along the two clamping frames 23, and lift the rack 1 43 upwards, so that the rack 1 43 compresses the spring 42, and pushes the clamping plate 1 33 along the sliding groove 1 31 and the second sliding groove 32 to the two sides of the steel mesh, so that the second clamping plate 35 follows the clamping plate 1 33 to slide along the sliding groove 4 36 to the two sides of the steel mesh, and clamps the longitudinal sides of the steel mesh. Then loosen the rack 1 43, so that the spring 42 pushes the rack 1 43 to engage with the rack 2 44, and limits the clamping plate 1 33.

[0030] The implementation modes of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
