Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of reflow soldering, in particular to a general fixing device for SMT reflow soldering of PCB boards. Background Art

[0002] Surface Mount Technology (SMT) is a circuit assembly technology that mounts leadless or short-lead surface mount components on the surface of a printed circuit board (PCB) or other substrates and is soldered and assembled by methods such as reflow soldering. Its basic process components include: solder paste printing, chip mounting, reflow soldering, cleaning, and inspection.

[0003] The reflow soldering process uses a chain-type reflow soldering furnace for soldering. Therefore, there should be no surface mount components within 5 mm of the edge of the PCB board. However, in PCB boards, it is common to design solder pads within 5 mm of the edge of the PCB board, resulting in the inability of the PCB board after chip mounting to directly enter the reflow soldering furnace for soldering. Currently, the method to solve this problem is to make a special tray. Making the tray is relatively simple, but before making it, the process personnel should first identify the interference positions on the PCB board, and it is difficult for inexperienced process personnel to identify all of them. Due to the variety of PCB boards with different sizes, the existing solution has many deficiencies, as follows:

[0004] 1) For each type of PCB board, one type of tray is made. Each tray has at least 3 and at most more than 5. Slight changes in the size of the PCB board will cause some trays to be scrapped after only one use, not only increasing production costs but also wasting resources.

[0005] 2) There are a large number of PCB board types, so a large number of trays will be made. First, storing these trays will occupy a large amount of space; second, problems are likely to occur in management; finally, the procedures during use are cumbersome, and there will be frequent in and out of the warehouse. In short, there are many troubles in storage, management, and use.

[0006] 3) Making the tray requires a certain period. If the tray cannot be completed on schedule or there are defects in the tray, production cannot start, thus affecting the production progress.

[0007] The existing PCB board trays can no longer meet the needs of soldering an increasing number of PCB board types. Summary of the Utility Model
