Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 1 , a scratch-proof tin spraying hanging clip for a high thermal conductivity metal-based power module PCB board in this embodiment, includes a cross frame 1. A hanging component 2 for scratch-proof clamping of the PCB board is provided on the front surface of the cross frame 1, and a driving component 3 for driving the hanging component 2 to clamp and hang materials is provided on the upper surface of the cross frame 1.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4 , in order to scratch-proof clamp the PCB board, the hanging component 2 in this embodiment includes three limiting plates 21 fixedly distributed at intervals on the front surface of the cross frame 1. It is necessary to prepare the high thermal conductivity metal-based power module PCB board to be sprayed with tin, install the scratch-proof tin spraying hanging clip at the corresponding position of the tin spraying machine, and ensure that they can correctly position the PCB board by adjusting the limiting plates 21 and the fixed clamping plates 22 on the cross frame 1. Two fixed clamping plates 22 are fixed on the front surface of the cross frame 1, and the two fixed clamping plates 22 are respectively located between the opposite sides of two adjacent limiting plates 21. Connecting holes 23 penetrating from the left side to the right side are opened on the left sides of the three limiting plates 21. A support rod 24 is fixed on the inner wall of the three connecting holes 23. Two rotating frames 25 located between the opposite sides of two adjacent limiting plates 21 are rotatably connected to the outer side of the support rod 24. Rotating clamping plates 26 are fixed on the front surfaces of the two rotating frames 25. Place the PCB board between the fixed clamping plates 22 and the rotating clamping plates 26 of the hanging component 2 to ensure that the board edge is correctly clamped by the pressing plate clamp 27. Pressing plate clamps 27 are fixed at the bottom ends of the rotating clamping plates 26 and the fixed clamping plates 22.

[0028] In this embodiment, insulating sleeve pads are fixed on the opposite sides of the front and rear pressing plate clamps 27, and the length of the pressing plate clamp 27 is greater than the width of the rotating clamping plate 26. The board edge is clamped between the opposite sides of the front and rear pressing plate clamps 27, and a PCB board is fixed below the board edge. The length of the fixed clamping plate 22 is equal to the length of the limiting plate 21, and the length of the rotating clamping plate 26 is greater than the length of the fixed clamping plate 22. The connecting rod 36 pushes the synchronous push plate 34, and then makes the rotating clamping plate 26 move towards the fixed clamping plate 22 to realize the clamping of the PCB board.

[0029] In this embodiment, the width of the rotating clamping plate 26 is equal to the distance between the opposite sides of two adjacent limiting plates 21. A rotating hole is formed on the outer side of the rotating frame 25, and the rotating frame 25 is rotatably connected to the outer side of the support rod 24 through the rotating hole. The design of the pressure plate clamp 27 not only provides stable clamping, but also further reduces physical damage to the PCB board through the use of insulating sleeve pads, improving the safety of operation.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 5 to 6 , in order to drive the hanging component 2 to hold the hanging material, the driving component 3 in this embodiment includes two vertical plates 31 fixed on the upper surface of the cross frame 1. A support plate 32 is horizontally fixed between the opposite sides of the two vertical plates 31. A cylinder 33 is fixed on the front surface of the support plate 32. A synchronous push plate 34 is fixed on the back surface of the two rotating clamping plates 26. A bracket 35 is fixed on the back surface of the synchronous push plate 34. A connecting rod 36 is rotatably connected between the inner walls on the left and right sides of the bracket 35 through bearings. The outer side of the output shaft of the cylinder 33 is fixed to the connecting rod 36. By operating the cylinder 33 in the driving component 3, the connecting rod 36 is pushed to drive the synchronous push plate 34, and then the rotating clamping plate 26 moves towards the fixed clamping plate 22 to clamp the PCB board.

[0031] In this embodiment, a sleeve is fixed on the outer side of the output shaft of the cylinder 33, and the output shaft of the cylinder 33 is sleeved on the outer side of the connecting rod 36 through the sleeve. After the PCB board is firmly clamped, the soldering machine is started for soldering operation. After soldering is completed, the connecting rod 36 is released by operating the cylinder 33, so that the synchronous push plate 34 drives the rotating clamping plate 26 to move away from the fixed clamping plate 22, releasing the PCB board. The soldered PCB board is taken out from the hanging clip and subsequent inspection and processing are carried out.

[0032] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows:

[0033] First, the high thermal conductivity metal base power module PCB board to be soldered needs to be prepared, and the anti-scratch soldering hanging clip is installed at the corresponding position of the soldering machine. By adjusting the limiting plates 21 and the fixed clamping plate 22 on the cross frame 1, it is ensured that they can correctly position the PCB board. The PCB board is placed between the fixed clamping plate 22 and the rotating clamping plate 26 of the hanging component 2, and it is ensured that the board edge is correctly clamped by the pressure plate clamp 27. By operating the cylinder 33 in the driving component 3, the connecting rod 36 is pushed to drive the synchronous push plate 34, and then the rotating clamping plate 26 moves towards the fixed clamping plate 22 to clamp the PCB board. After the PCB board is firmly clamped, the soldering machine is started for soldering operation. After soldering is completed, the connecting rod 36 is released by operating the cylinder 33, so that the synchronous push plate 34 drives the rotating clamping plate 26 to move away from the fixed clamping plate 22, releasing the PCB board. The soldered PCB board is taken out from the hanging clip and subsequent inspection and processing are carried out.
