Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of cleaning equipment, in particular to a lead frame cleaning device. Background Art

[0002] As one of the main structures of integrated circuit packaging, a lead frame is used to connect the contact points of the internal chip of the integrated circuit and external wires, and is a thin metal frame made of copper-plated alloy or aluminum / zinc alloy. With the important position of integrated circuits in the electronic information industry, the market demand for lead frames has been increasing continuously. During the use of lead frames, they will be affected by various physical, chemical and mechanical stresses. Especially after long-term use, various dirt or corrosion products will adhere to the metal surface. Under certain conditions, these dirt and corrosion products will cause electrochemical reactions on the metal surface, generating new dirt, which will affect the function and service life of the lead frame. To avoid the above effects, improve product quality and meet customer needs, the surface of the lead frame needs to be treated. Currently, the common surface treatment methods for lead frames on the market mainly include ultrasonic cleaning, physical vapor deposition (PVD), chemical vapor deposition (CVD) and electroplating. These methods generally have the disadvantages of high cost, low efficiency, damage to the aluminum layer and damage to the wire bonding area, and limited application range. Summary of the Utility Model

[0003] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a lead frame cleaning device.

[0004] The technical solution for realizing the purpose of the utility model is: a lead frame cleaning device, including a cleaning tank, an inlet and a drain are provided on the cleaning tank, the drain is located at the bottom of the cleaning tank, a cleaning table is horizontally arranged in the cleaning tank, a gap is provided between the cleaning table and the inner wall of the cleaning tank, the cleaning table is of a box structure, a chamber is provided inside the cleaning table, a plurality of air holes are opened on the upper surface of the cleaning table, the air holes are communicated with the chamber, one end of a nitrogen spray pipe is communicated with the chamber, and a heating pipe is further installed in the cleaning tank.

[0005] Further, the air holes are evenly distributed on the cleaning table. The upper surface of the cleaning table is of a mesh hole structure.

[0006] Further, the cleaning table is installed on the inner wall of the cleaning tank. The cleaning table is directly installed on the inner wall of the cleaning tank, which can simplify the installation structure.

[0007] Further, the cleaning tank includes an upper tank and a lower tank which are vertically distributed. The width of the upper tank is greater than that of the lower tank. A transition shoulder is formed between the upper tank and the lower tank, and the cleaning table is mounted on the transition shoulder. After the cleaning table is mounted on the transition shoulder, on the one hand, no additional fixing parts are required, and the installation is convenient; on the other hand, detachable installation can be achieved. Especially when placing the lead frame on the cleaning table or taking it out from the cleaning table, the cleaning table can be directly removed from the cleaning tank, and the lead frame to be cleaned can be placed on the cleaning table outside, or the already cleaned lead frame on the cleaning table can be emptied outside, which is convenient for operation and improves the operation efficiency.

[0008] Further, the cleaning table is horizontally arranged. The horizontally arranged cleaning table is conducive to the placement of the lead frame and is not easy to fall out.

[0009] Further, the cleaning table is located at the middle position of the cleaning tank. Placing the cleaning table at the middle position of the cleaning tank is convenient for operation and can save water.

[0010] Further, the heating tube is located below the cleaning table. The heating tube needs to be placed in the cleaning water. After the heating tube is placed below the cleaning table, it will surely be in the cleaning water, and the equipment has high reliability. Moreover, there is a large space below the cleaning table, which is convenient for the installation of the heating tube.

[0011] Further, the heating tube is installed on the inner wall of the cleaning tank. This setting can simplify the installation structure.

[0012] Further, a temperature sensor is provided in the cleaning tank, and a temperature controller is provided on the outer wall of the cleaning tank. Both the temperature sensor and the heating tube are connected to the temperature controller. The temperature sensor senses the water temperature of the cleaning water in the cleaning tank in real time, and the temperature controller controls the heating tube according to the water temperature sensed by the temperature sensor in real time. This setting can realize the automatic control of the water temperature of the cleaning water in the cleaning tank, which is convenient for operation and can also improve the control accuracy.

[0013] Further, the water inlet is located above the cleaning table and near the top of the cleaning tank. This setting is convenient for water inlet.

[0014] Further, the top of the cleaning tank is provided with an open mouth. The open structure is convenient for putting the lead frame in and taking it out.

[0015] The lead frame cleaning device of the present utility model horizontally arranges the cleaning table in the cleaning tank. The cleaning table serves as a support member to place the lead frame to be cleaned. At the same time, the cleaning table is a box structure with air holes on its upper surface. After connecting the chamber to the nitrogen spray pipe, high-speed nitrogen can be sprayed into the chamber through the nitrogen spray pipe. The high-speed nitrogen sprayed into the chamber sprays upward from the air holes, enabling the ionic cleaning water to generate water mist. At the same time, under the surface tension of water, a large number of bubbles are generated by the cleaning agent in the ionic cleaning water. After the water mist and bubbles are formed, when their kinetic energy is at its maximum, they can be sprayed onto the lead frame on the cleaning table immediately and evenly for cleaning the lead frame.

[0016] The lead frame cleaning device of the present utility model, the cleaning table that serves both as a support member and a jet structure, makes the entire cleaning structure simpler. At the same time, it is convenient to spray high-speed nitrogen into the ionic cleaning water, so that the high-speed nitrogen accelerates the flow of the ionic cleaning water and generates water mist and bubbles. These water mist and bubbles can not only clean the lead frame on the cleaning table immediately, but also, during the cleaning process, in addition to removing the impurities on the surface of the lead frame, penetrate into the tiny gaps of the lead frame, dissolve and wash away the accumulated dirt on the lead frame, achieving deep cleaning. The lead frame cleaning device of the present utility model has a simple structure and a good cleaning effect of cleaning immediately and deeply.

[0017] The lead frame cleaning device of the present utility model, in addition to the cleaning table and the nitrogen spray pipe, also installs a heating pipe in the cleaning tank. The heating pipe heats the plasma cleaning water to achieve high-temperature cleaning of the lead frame. The combination of high-temperature cleaning and the water-vapor two-fluid cleaning formed after spraying nitrogen can greatly improve the cleaning effect.

[0018] The present utility model provides a lead frame cleaning device that combines high-temperature cleaning and the water-vapor two-fluid cleaning formed after spraying nitrogen. It can quickly clean the grease and dirt on the surface of the lead frame. In the case of relatively high requirements for lead frame cleaning, it shortens the production cycle, the cleaning process is more simple and efficient. While improving the overall cleaning effect and efficiency of the lead frame, not only the cleaning cost and the equipment accuracy requirements are relatively low, but also the cleaning has the characteristics of no secondary pollution, no corrosion, and no chemical toxicity, etc., and will not affect the performance of the bonding area of the lead frame.
