Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a steel mesh for enhancing the shielding performance of a shielding cover. Background Art
[0002] In the field of electronic engineering, in order to prevent external electric, magnetic or electromagnetic fields from interfering with internal sensitive devices, or to reduce the impact of the electromagnetic field generated by the device itself on the external environment, we usually use a metal structure called a shield. This shield, usually in the form of a closed or nearly closed metal shell or metal mesh, is widely used in various electronic devices to ensure their electromagnetic compatibility and stability.
[0003] As an efficient electromagnetic shielding tool, the main function of the shielding cover is to isolate external electromagnetic waves from internal circuits to prevent them from interfering with each other. At the same time, it can also effectively prevent the electromagnetic waves generated by the internal circuit from leaking out, protecting the surrounding environment and equipment from electromagnetic pollution.
[0004] When designing PCBs that have extremely high requirements for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC), such as key components such as DC-DC power supplies or analog RF modules, we usually need to consider more sophisticated and professional shielding solutions. In order to improve shielding performance while controlling production costs, engineers often use steel mesh welding to install shielding covers.
[0005] Although this steel mesh welding process reduces the production difficulty and cost to a certain extent, there are some problems that cannot be ignored in practical applications. In particular, when tinning the openings of the steel mesh, the height of the tinning area and the gaps between the two pieces of solder paste provide possible paths for the entry and exit of electromagnetic waves. After the shielding cover is welded, these gaps allow electromagnetic energy inside or outside the shielding cover to easily penetrate, thereby weakening the shielding effect. Utility Model Content

[0007] The technical solution of the utility model is as follows:
[0008] A steel mesh for enhancing the shielding performance of a shielding cover, a plurality of openings for assisting the transfer of solder paste to a shielding cover welding point pattern on a pad are formed on the steel mesh plate body, at the shielding cover welding position, the openings include outer layer openings and inner layer openings, a continuously alternating concave-convex bending structure is provided between the outer layer openings and the inner layer openings, and an outward first connecting portion is provided on the concave portion on the outer side of the concave-convex bending structure, the outer layer openings surround the top end of the first connecting portion, and an inward second connecting portion is provided on the convex portion on the inner side of the concave-convex bending structure, the inner layer openings surround the top end of the second connecting portion.

[0025] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0026] like Figure 2-Figure 3As shown, the present application provides a steel mesh embodiment for enhancing the shielding performance of the shielding cover, and a plurality of openings for assisting the solder paste to be transferred to the shielding cover welding point pattern on the pad are formed on the steel mesh plate body 1. At the shielding cover welding position, the openings include outer layer openings 3 and inner layer openings 2, and there are continuously alternating concave-convex bending structures 101 between the outer layer openings 3 and the inner layer openings 2, and the concave part on the outer side of the concave-convex bending structure 101 has an outward first connecting portion 102, and the outer layer opening 3 surrounds the top of the first connecting portion 102, and the convex part on the inner side of the concave-convex bending structure has an inward second connecting portion 103, and the inner layer opening 2 surrounds the top of the second connecting portion 103. The first connecting portion 102 and the second connecting portion 103 connect the concave-convex bending structure 101 with the steel mesh plate body 1. The structure of the steel mesh described in the present application is to design the openings of the steel mesh into two layers, the outer openings 3 and the inner openings 2, which are alternately complementary. During the welding process, the concave-convex bending structure 101 of the present embodiment makes the channel shape of the shielding cover soldering inside and outside bend, which helps the shielding cover to be almost completely tinned to form a sealed space, increases the length of the electromagnetic passage path and reduces the relative gap between the solder pastes, increases the difficulty of electromagnetic entry and exit, and improves the shielding performance of the shielding cover; at the same time, it also increases the amount of tin eaten by the shielding cover to make the welding of the shielding cover more firm, which can meet the needs of mass production without increasing costs, and can also increase the shielding performance. The present application can reduce the gaps between the solder pastes, improve the overall sealing of the shielding cover, and meet the requirements of applications requiring high-precision electromagnetic shielding.
[0027] In one embodiment, in the straight position of the shielding cover, the outer layer opening 3 and the inner layer opening 2 are inverted concave holes or positive concave holes, and the convex parts at both ends of the positive concave hole extend into the concave parts of the two adjacent inverted concave holes, and the convex parts at both ends of the inverted concave hole extend into the concave parts of the two adjacent positive concave holes. The concave hole of the outer layer opening 3 is consistent with the concave hole of the inner layer opening 2. The regular outer layer opening 3 and the inner layer opening 2 facilitate the drawing of the steel mesh pattern, improve the efficiency of steel mesh production, and facilitate the subsequent opening of the steel mesh.
[0028] At the bending position of the shielding cover, it is necessary to ensure that the concave-convex bending structure 101 has alternating concave and convex shapes, and to adjust the shapes of the outer layer opening 3 and the inner layer opening 2 accordingly. Figure 2 As shown, the opening can also be L-shaped, an irregular hole formed by connecting two concave holes, or an irregular hole with two bends at the inner concave position, as well as a concave hole with asymmetric convex parts on both sides. The shape of the opening at the bending position can be adaptively adjusted to ensure that the solder paste gap 200 formed by the steel mesh remains the same. The concave-convex bending structure 101 has an alternating concave and convex shape to ensure that the solder paste gap 200 is bent, so that electromagnetic radiation cannot directly enter the shielding cover.
[0029] In one embodiment, the width from the outer edge of the outer opening 3 to the inner edge of the inner opening 2 is consistent with the welding width of the shielding cover, and the welding width is 60 mil-80 mil.
[0030] In one embodiment, the widths of the first connecting portion 102, the second connecting portion 103 and the concave-convex bending structure 101 are consistent. After the printed circuit board is tinned, the solder paste gap 200 between each solder paste welding block 100 formed at the position of the outer opening 3 and the inner opening 2 is formed by the space occupied by the concave-convex bending structure 101, the first connecting portion 102 and the second connecting portion 103. When the widths of the first connecting portion 102, the second connecting portion 103 and the concave-convex bending structure 101 are consistent, the solder paste gap 200 also maintains the same width. When the gaps between the shielding cover solder are uneven, these gaps will form a path for electromagnetic leakage, allowing the external electromagnetic field to penetrate the shielding cover, or the internal electromagnetic field to radiate outward. Therefore, maintaining the sameness of the solder gap helps to reduce such leakage and improve the shielding effect. Consistent gaps also help to ensure the predictability and repeatability of shielding performance. Through standardized welding process and parameter control, it is easier to achieve gap consistency and reduce uncertainty and error rate in the production process. Therefore, maintaining the same solder gap also helps to improve production efficiency and quality. That is, the consistency of the width of the first connecting portion 102, the second connecting portion 103 and the concave-convex bending structure 101 can ensure the efficiency and consistency of electromagnetic shielding, improve the electromagnetic compatibility of the device shielding cover, and optimize the production process of the circuit board.
[0031] In one embodiment, the width from the outer edge of the outer opening 3 to the inner edge of the inner opening 2 is 80 mil, wherein the width of the concave-convex bending structure 101, the width of the first connecting portion 102, and the width of the second connecting portion 103 are all 10 mil; the length of the concave hole is 110 mil, the width is 50 mil, the width of the convex portion of the concave hole is 20 mil, the height of the concave between the two convex portions is 30 mil, and the length of the concave portion is 70 mil. The steel mesh of the above embodiment can be formed as follows Figure 4 The solder paste welding blocks of the shielding cover shown in the figure have an inner and outer layer solder paste welding block 100 with a width of 80 mils. The sizes of the solder paste welding blocks 100 formed by tinning the concave holes are respectively consistent with the sizes of the corresponding openings. The width of the solder paste gap 200 is consistent with the width dimensions occupied by the first connecting portion 102, the second connecting portion 103 and the concave-convex bending structure 101. In the present embodiment, the width of the solder paste gap 200 is 10 mils.
[0032] In one embodiment, the outer openings 3 and the inner openings 2 are made by laser, electroforming or etching.
