Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of circuit board production, in particular to a PCB blind groove pad repair tool. Background Art

[0002] With the development of electronic products towards miniaturization, lightweight and multi-functionality, the requirements for the integration and refinement of printed circuit boards (PCBs) are getting higher and higher. In high-end electronic products, such as smart phones, tablet computers, etc., in order to meet the requirements of high-density packaging, a stepped blind hole structure is often used to design PCBs.

[0003] A stepped blind hole refers to a stepped structure with different diameters on the inner wall of the hole, which is usually used to connect circuits or components at different levels. A stepped blind groove board is a special PCB, and its surface is provided with stepped blind holes for placing and fixing electronic components such as chips. During the production process of the stepped blind groove board, in order to enhance the mechanical strength and reliability of the pads, reinforcing materials are usually filled under the pads to form a reinforced blind groove board.

[0004] However, when manufacturing a reinforced blind groove board for an ultra-small stepped bonding pad, due to the extremely small size of the blind groove, and during the PCB production process, auxiliary materials such as PP glue are used, and these materials may remain inside the blind groove, especially on the surface of the bonding pad, and it is difficult to completely remove them. The presence of foreign objects will seriously affect the subsequent bonding process, resulting in problems such as insufficient bonding strength and poor contact, ultimately affecting the yield and reliability of the product.

[0005] To solve the above problems, the existing solutions mainly use ordinary tools for cleaning. However, due to the extremely small size of the blind groove, ordinary tools are difficult to penetrate deep into the blind groove for effective cleaning. The size of ordinary tools is too large to penetrate into the narrow blind groove, and it is difficult to completely remove foreign objects on the pad surface. Secondly, ordinary tools are too sharp and are prone to scratching the pad surface during the cleaning process, causing problems such as pad deformation and detachment, affecting the product quality.

[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing PCB blind groove pad repair tool to overcome the defects of the prior art. Summary of the Utility Model

[0007] To overcome the problems existing in the related art, the purpose of the utility model is to provide a PCB blind groove pad repair tool to solve the problem of being unable to penetrate deep into the blind groove for effective cleaning existing in the prior art.

[0008] A PCB blind groove pad repair tool includes a blade and a fixed handle. One end of the blade is fixed on the fixed handle, and the other end is provided with a horizontal tool tip. The horizontal tool tip is provided with a first cutting edge, and the first cutting edge is perpendicular to the length direction of the blade. The first cutting edge is used for cleaning the pad;

[0009] The fixed handle is further provided with an adjustable limiting component, which is slidably connected to the fixed handle and is used to control the depth of the blade inserted into the PCB board.

[0010] By setting a horizontal cutting tip with a first cutting edge perpendicular to the length direction of the blade, it can effectively extend into the blind groove to clean the surface of the PCB bonding pad. Especially for the narrow space of the blind groove pad, it can improve the accuracy of pad cleaning and effectively avoid causing additional damage to the pad. The setting of the adjustable limiting component can accurately control the depth of the blade inserted into the PCB board, avoid the blade from penetrating too deeply and damaging the pad or the PCB board, improve the safety of operation, and reduce the risk brought by misoperation.

[0011] Preferably, along the length direction of the blade to the horizontal cutting tip, the width of the blade gradually decreases to form an inclined surface, and a second cutting edge is provided on the inclined surface for cleaning the side wall of the blind groove.

[0012] By setting the inclined surface and the second cutting edge, it can effectively clean the residues on the side wall of the blind groove while cleaning the pad, achieving a comprehensive cleaning of the PCB blind groove pad and avoiding the influence of residues on the welding quality.

[0013] Preferably, the width of the horizontal cutting tip is 0.1 mm to 1 mm.

[0014] Limiting the width of the horizontal cutting tip within the range of 0.1 mm to 1 mm can better adapt to PCB blind groove pads of different sizes and improve the applicable range of the tool.

[0015] Preferably, the width of the horizontal cutting tip is 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm.

[0016] Further limiting the width of the horizontal cutting tip within the range of 0.2 mm to 0.5 mm is more suitable for cleaning the ultra-small blind groove pads commonly found in precision electronic components, improving the adaptability of the tool to miniaturized electronic products.

[0017] Preferably, the blade extends out of the fixed handle by at least 2 mm.

[0018] By setting the blade to extend out of the fixed handle by at least 2 mm, it can effectively ensure that the horizontal cutting tip of the blade can enter the blind groove to contact the pad and remove foreign matters on the pad, ensuring the normal progress of pad cleaning.

[0019] Preferably, the fixed handle is further provided with a sliding track, and the adjustable limiting component includes a limiting block and track plates arranged on both sides of the limiting block, and the track plates are slidably connected to the sliding track.

[0020] The design of the sliding track and the track plate makes the sliding of the adjustable limiting component smoother and more stable, improving the limiting accuracy and the overall stability of the tool, and ensuring the reliability of the operation.

[0021] Preferably, the limiting block is cylindrical, the limiting block is arranged along the width direction of the blade, a through hole is provided on the limiting block, and the blade passes through the through hole.

[0022] With the design of the cylindrical limiting block and the through hole, the limiting block can be erected above the blind groove. While restricting the length of the blade extending into the PCB board, the blade can rotate along the cylindrical limiting block, which can provide better flexibility while ensuring that the pads are not damaged, effectively ensuring the efficiency and flexibility of pad cleaning.

[0023] Preferably, the fixed handle is further provided with a threaded hole and a locking block. The threaded hole is arranged in the sliding track. The locking block includes a rotating part, a locking part and a threaded part. The threaded part meshes with the threaded hole. The locking part is used to abut against the track plate, and the rotating part is used to rotate the locking block.

[0024] Through the arrangement of the threaded hole, the locking block and the rotating part, the position of the adjustable limiting component can be conveniently adjusted and fixed, realizing fine adjustment and reliable locking of the depth of the blade extending in, and enhancing the flexibility and convenience of tool use.

[0025] Preferably, the track plate is further provided with a sliding groove, the sliding groove is arranged along the length direction of the track plate, and the threaded part of the locking block passes through the sliding groove.

[0026] When adjusting the track plate, the sliding groove can prevent the track plate from being misaligned or slipping off during the adjustment process, improving the reliability of locking and the overall stability of the tool, and extending the service life of the tool.

[0027] The beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0028] The present utility model provides a PCB blind via pad repair tool, which includes a blade and a fixed handle. One end of the blade is fixed on the fixed handle, and the other end is provided with a horizontal tool tip. The horizontal tool tip is provided with a first cutting edge, and the first cutting edge is perpendicular to the length direction of the blade. The first cutting edge is used for cleaning the pad. The fixed handle is also provided with an adjustable limiting component, which is slidably connected to the fixed handle and is used to control the depth of the blade extending into the PCB board. The first cutting edge perpendicular to the length direction of the blade can better fit the surface of the PCB pad. Especially when cleaning the blind via pad in a narrow space, compared with the traditional inclined cutting edge, it can more effectively scrape off the foreign matters on the pad surface and improve the cleaning efficiency. The horizontal tool tip can more precisely control the contact area and angle between the cutting edge and the pad, avoiding damage to the pad, especially suitable for cleaning the precision pads on miniaturized and high-density PCBs. When scraping off foreign matters, it can generate a greater cutting force to completely remove the foreign matters and reduce the possibility of residues remaining on the pad surface, effectively avoiding the influence of residues on the subsequent soldering process. The setting of the adjustable limiting component can accurately control the depth of the blade extending into the PCB board, avoiding the blade from penetrating too deeply and damaging the pad or the PCB board, improving the safety of operation and reducing the risk brought by misoperation.
