Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of surface mounting technology, in particular to an anti-deformation PCB furnace loading fixture for surface mounting process. Background Art

[0002] SMT, whose full name is Surface Mount Technology, means surface mounting technology in Chinese. It is the most popular technology and process in the electronic assembly industry. SMT is a circuit assembly technology that mounts surface-mounted components without pins or short leads, simply called SMC / SMD, whose Chinese name is chip components, on the surface of a printed circuit board, that is, Printed Circuit Board, simply called PCB, or the surface of other substrates, and is soldered and assembled by methods such as reflow soldering or dip soldering.

[0003] A furnace loading fixture, often also called a solder reflow oven fixture, is a new type of PCB tooling fixture for SMT processing. Its main application is to hold the PCB board and send it into the reflow oven for soldering process treatment.

[0004] Based on this, Chinese Patent CN202240048U discloses a furnace loading fixture, which has an outer frame, and an adjustable rod that can move is arranged in the middle of the outer frame; there are two adjustable rods; the adjustable rods and the outer frame are fixed and positioned through positioning bolts; guide slots are arranged on the outer frame and the adjustable rods; support plates are arranged around the bottom of the outer frame and the adjustable rods; the edge of the support plate is serrated. This kind of furnace loading fixture can clamp multiple workpieces at one time, and can adapt to workpieces of different sizes, with a wide adaptation range. The installed workpieces are not easy to slide, ensuring the accuracy of the position, with high production efficiency, and are suitable for mass production of workpieces.

[0005] However, the above-disclosed furnace loading fixture still has the technical problem of easily causing the PCB to deform during use. Specifically, when the above-disclosed furnace loading fixture is used, the positioning bolts need to be loosened first to leave a certain gap between the adjustable rod and the outer frame; then, the workpiece is placed in the gap and supported by the support plate. Next, the adjustable rod is moved towards the outer frame to clamp the workpiece, and the positioning bolts are tightened for positioning to prevent the workpiece from shifting; finally, the furnace loading fixture with the workpiece installed is conveyed into the soldering furnace through a conveyor belt for soldering. It can be seen that this kind of furnace loading fixture mainly realizes the assembly of the PCB board by tightening the positioning bolts; and in this assembly method, during assembly, since it is difficult to control the tightening force of each positioning bolt, thus, it is easy to cause the PCB board to deform; moreover, the deformed PCB board during assembly will also cause an irreversible deformation amplitude to the deformation degree of the PCB board after being treated at the high temperature of the soldering furnace; thereby affecting the processing accuracy of the PCB.

Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature.

[0025] In the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "mounted", "connected", "connected to", "fixed" and other terms should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it may be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it may be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it may be the internal communication of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly limited.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 , a deformation-proof PCB furnace loading tooling of the present utility model includes: an assembly base 1, a retaining wall 2, a tooling connection part 3, a receiving part 4, a plurality of elastic limiting parts 5, a swing limiting spring arm 6, a seat body connection block 7 and an angle adjustment mechanism 8; the retaining wall 2 is disposed on the assembly base 1, the tooling connection part 3 is disposed in the retaining wall 2, and the receiving part 4 is disposed in the tooling connection part 3; a plurality of elastic limiting parts 5 are respectively disposed in pairs on both sides of the receiving part 4, and each elastic limiting part 5 is connected to the tooling connection part 3; the two swing limiting spring arms 6 are disposed opposite to each other at both ends of the receiving part 4, and each swing limiting spring arm 6 is connected to the tooling connection part 3; the seat body connection block 7 is disposed at the bottom of the assembly base 1, and the seat body connection block 7 is connected to the angle adjustment mechanism 8.

[0029] Specifically, when loading a PCB and surface-mounted components using the anti-deformation PCB furnace loading tooling of the present utility model, the PCB can be placed on the accommodating portion 4. The accommodating portion 4 is a cavity-shaped structure to facilitate the placement of the PCB. Thereafter, each elastic limiting portion 5 is swung from above the tooling connection portion 3 to above the accommodating portion 4, and is pairwise connected and limited to the PCB from both sides of the accommodating portion 4, so that the periphery of the PCB is uniformly stressed to avoid deformation of the PCB. Specifically, the elastic limiting portion 5 has an elastic abutting structure to replace the problem of PCB deformation caused by uneven stress during operations such as screwing. In addition, by staggering the side surfaces where the elastic limiting portions 5 are provided, two of the swing limiting spring arms 6 are respectively oppositely provided at the other two end sides of the accommodating portion 4. The operator swings the spring arm structure provided thereon onto the PCB of the accommodating portion 4 to further elastically press and limit the middle region of the PCB, thereby solving the problem of the middle portion of the PCB bulging and deforming in the prior art due to only limiting the edge of the PCB. Further, the seat body connecting block 7 is used to connect the assembly seat body 1 to the angle adjustment mechanism 8, so as to facilitate the angle adjustment mechanism 8 to adjust the operation angle of the assembly base 1. Specifically, during the use of the existing furnace loading tooling, the operator often needs to perform operations such as limiting and assembling the PCB and inserting large components onto the PCB on a flat workbench. During this process, the operator often needs to bend down and operate with the head down; when the working time is long, defects such as fatigue and misassembly are likely to occur. Through the angle adjustment mechanism 8, the operation plane of the operator can be set, so that the operator can obtain a more comfortable operation angle, thereby reducing the fatigue during operation and also helping to improve the assembly efficiency of the furnace loading tooling. Thus, it can be seen that the anti-deformation PCB furnace loading tooling of the present utility model solves the technical problems of how to reduce the deformation degree of the PCB before and after passing through the furnace and improve the assembly efficiency of the furnace loading tooling.

[0030] Furthermore, the elastic limiting part 5 includes a limiting swing seat 501, a pressing abutting part 502, a stepped through hole 503, a fastener 504 and a limiting spring 505. The limiting swing seat 501 is movably arranged on the tooling connection part 3. The pressing abutting part 502 is arranged on the limiting swing seat 501, and the pressing abutting part 502 is movably arranged on the side edge of the accommodating part 4. The stepped through hole 503 is arranged in the limiting swing seat 501. The fastener 504 passes through the stepped through hole 503 and is connected to the tooling connection part 3. The limiting swing seat 501 is movably connected to the fastener 504, and the limiting spring 505 is arranged between the stepped through hole 503 and the fastener 504. Specifically, the limiting swing seat 501 is movably arranged above the tooling connection part 3. After the fastener 504 passes through the stepped through hole 503, the limiting swing seat 501 is limited and connected to the tooling connection part 3, and the limiting swing seat 501 can swing along the radial direction of the fastener 504, so as to swing the pressing abutting part 502 from above the tooling connection part 3 to above the accommodating part 4 to perform limiting connection on the PCB placed on the accommodating part 4. A limiting spring 505 is also arranged between the stepped through hole 503 and the fastener 504 to apply elastic pressure to the upper part of the limiting swing seat 501 through the elastic force of the spring. Thus, the elastic pressure can be transmitted to the upper part of the PCB through the pressing abutting part 502, so as to realize elastic limiting and pressing of the PCB workpiece.

[0031] Furthermore, the swing limiting elastic arm 6 includes an elastic arm connection seat 601, a swing shaft 602, an elastic arm structure 603, a pressing block structure 604 and a connecting part 605. The elastic arm connection seat 601 is arranged on the tooling connection part 3. The swing shaft 602 is respectively connected to the elastic arm connection seat 601 and the elastic arm structure 603. One end of the elastic arm structure 603 is movably connected to the swing shaft 602, and the pressing block structure 604 is arranged below the other end of the elastic arm structure 603. The pressing block structure 604 is movably arranged above the accommodating part 4, and the connecting part 605 is respectively connected to the pressing block structure 604 and the elastic arm structure 603. Specifically, the elastic arm structure 603 can be a swing arm structure formed by stamping a spring sheet. One end of it can rotate around the swing shaft 602, and the other end can swing the pressing block structure 604 to a preset position above the PCB to be furnace-passed, so as to facilitate eliminating bad assembly conditions such as the middle part bulging when the four sides of the PCB are limited.

[0032] Further, in addition to connecting the assembly base 1 to the angle adjustment mechanism 8, the base connection block 7 can also serve as a connection positioning point for the assembly base 1 to be paired with external transfer and transmission mechanisms such as an oven conveyor belt.

[0033] Further, the angle adjustment mechanism 8 includes an adjustment base frame 801, a driving cylinder 802, a telescopic rod 803, a coupling structure 804, a first link structure 805, and a second link structure 806; the driving cylinder 802 is disposed in the adjustment base frame 801, the driving cylinder 802 is drivingly connected to the telescopic rod 803, both ends of the coupling structure 804 are movably connected to the adjustment base frame 801 respectively, the middle part of the coupling structure 804 is respectively connected to the end of the telescopic rod 803 and one end of the first link structure 805; the other end of the first link structure 805 is hinged to one end of the second link structure 806, the other end of the second link structure 806 is hinged to the adjustment base frame 801, and the base connection block 7 is movably connected to the angle adjustment mechanism 8. Specifically, when the driving cylinder 802 drives the telescopic rod 803 to shorten, the first link structure 805 can be driven to retract through the coupling structure 804. Thus, through the mutual movement of the link structures, the second link structure 806 can be lifted to a preset angle, and then the assembly base 1 can be adjusted to a preset operating angle. When it is necessary to flatten the assembly base 1, the driving cylinder 802 can be controlled to drive the telescopic rod 803 to extend, and then drive the first link structure 805 and the second link structure 806 to swing back to their original positions.

[0034] In summary, the anti-deformation PCB furnace loading tooling of the present utility model is respectively provided with an assembly base 1, a retaining wall 2, a tooling connection part 3, a receiving part 4, a plurality of elastic limiting parts 5, a swing limiting spring arm 6, a seat body connection block 7 and an angle adjustment mechanism 8; the retaining wall 2 is arranged on the assembly base 1, the tooling connection part 3 is arranged in the retaining wall 2, and the receiving part 4 is arranged in the tooling connection part 3; a plurality of elastic limiting parts 5 are respectively arranged in pairs on both sides of the receiving part 4, and each elastic limiting part 5 is connected to the tooling connection part 3; the two swing limiting spring arms 6 are arranged opposite to each other on both ends of the receiving part 4, and each swing limiting spring arm 6 is connected to the tooling connection part 3; the seat body connection block 7 is arranged at the bottom of the assembly base 1, and the seat body connection block 7 is connected to the angle adjustment mechanism 8. The elastic limiting parts 5 can respectively elastically limit and press the periphery of the PCB, and the swing limiting spring arms 6 can elastically limit and press the middle of the PCB.
