[0002] The PCB board tunnel oven plays a crucial role in modern electronic manufacturing, and is widely used in the low-temperature pre-baking, segmented drying, curing and other processes after the solder mask printing of the PCB board. The principle of the PCB board tunnel oven is roughly as follows: Let the conveying device drive the PCB board to move along the length direction of the PCB board tunnel oven, and send hot air into the PCB board tunnel oven, then the drying of the PCB board can be realized.

[0003] A plurality of exhaust air interfaces are arranged along the length direction at the top of the PCB board tunnel oven. The prior art generally directly connects the exhaust air interfaces with the main exhaust pipe through aluminum foil pipes, and the main exhaust pipe is adapted with an exhaust pump or an exhaust fan to extract the oil fume and waste gas generated during the drying process from the PCB board tunnel oven. During use, the oil fume will re-condense into liquid oil on the inner wall of the aluminum foil pipe; and the farther away from the exhaust air interface, the lower the temperature, and the more serious the condensation of the oil fume; after a long time, the liquid oil condensed on the inner wall of the aluminum foil pipe will flow back and drip into the PCB board tunnel oven, which is very easy to contaminate the PCB board. And it is very troublesome to disassemble, install and clean the aluminum foil pipe; replacing the new aluminum foil pipe will increase the production cost. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide an exhaust air transfer device, which is used to connect the exhaust air interface of the PCB board tunnel oven with the aluminum foil pipe, and can prevent the liquid oil flowing back along the inner wall of the aluminum foil pipe from dripping into the PCB board tunnel oven. Based on the same inventive concept, another purpose of the utility model is to provide a PCB board tunnel oven with the aforementioned exhaust air transfer device.

[0005] To achieve the above purpose, the technical solution adopted by the utility model is:

[0007] Optionally, the upper end surface of the intake pipe is higher than the upper surface of the bottom plate of the intake cavity; there is a gap between the outer wall of the part of the intake pipe located in the intake cavity and the inner side wall of the intake cavity.

[0008] Optionally, the oil drain port completely covers the bottom of the exhaust chamber; the bottom plate of the intake chamber is higher than the oil drain port of the exhaust chamber to guide the liquid oil to flow towards the oil drain port.

[0009] Optionally, the top plate of the intake chamber is inclined to guide the condensed liquid oil to flow towards the inner side wall of the intake chamber.

[0010] Optionally, the oil receiving box is connected to the exhaust chamber by a buckle.

[0011] Optionally, one of the intake pipe and the exhaust pipe is provided with a butterfly valve.

[0012] Optionally, the intake chamber is installed with a bracket to support it on the top of the PCB board tunnel oven.

[0013] Optionally, the bracket includes: a connecting member and a supporting member; the connecting member includes: a first earpiece, a second earpiece, and a connecting portion connecting the first earpiece and the second earpiece; the supporting member includes: a third earpiece extending in the horizontal direction and a vertical plate portion extending upward from the third earpiece; the first earpiece, the second earpiece, and the third earpiece are respectively provided with connecting holes; the vertical plate portion is provided with a strip-shaped hole extending in the up and down direction.

[0014] This application also provides a PCB board tunnel oven, which has the aforementioned exhaust air transfer device.

For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral body; it can be a direct connection, or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, and can be the internal communication of two components or the interaction relationship between two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present utility model can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0027] The following disclosure provides many different embodiments or examples for implementing different structures of the present utility model. To simplify the disclosure of the present utility model, the components and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0028] The following combines the attached Figure 1 ~attached Figure 4 to detail the embodiments of the present utility model.

[0029] The embodiment of the present utility model provides an exhaust air transfer device. The exhaust air transfer device includes: a transfer box 1. The transfer box 1 includes: an exhaust cavity 2 on the left and an intake cavity 3 on the right. A exhaust pipe 4 is provided at the top of the exhaust cavity 2 for connection with an aluminum foil pipe. It should be understood that the exhaust pipe 4 and the aluminum foil pipe can be connected by means such as a hoop, a flexible sleeve, etc. A drain port 5 is provided at the bottom of the exhaust cavity 2, and an oil receiving box 6 is detachably installed. The projection of the lower port of the exhaust pipe 4 on the horizontal plane completely falls within the coverage range of the drain port 5. An intake pipe 7 is provided at the bottom of the intake cavity 3 for connection with the exhaust air interface of a PCB board tunnel oven. It should be understood that the intake pipe 7 and the exhaust air interface of the PCB board tunnel oven can be connected by means such as a hoop, a flexible sleeve, etc.; in addition, the inner diameter of the intake pipe 7 can be made to match the outer diameter of the exhaust air interface, so that the intake pipe 7 can be directly sleeved on the exhaust air interface.

[0030] The following elaborates on the specific implementation manner of the present utility model: Connect the lower end of the intake pipe 7 to the exhaust air interface of the PCB board tunnel oven, connect the upper end of the exhaust pipe 4 to the aluminum foil pipe, and connect the aluminum foil pipe to the main exhaust pipe, then the oil fume and waste gas generated during the drying process can be extracted from the PCB board tunnel oven. When the liquid oil condensed on the inner wall of the aluminum foil pipe flows back, since the projection of the lower port of the exhaust pipe 4 on the horizontal plane completely falls within the coverage range of the drain port 5; therefore, the liquid oil flowing back along the inner wall of the aluminum foil pipe will finally drip into the oil receiving box 6 installed at the drain port 5. Regularly remove the oil receiving box 6, and the liquid oil in the oil receiving box 6 can be cleaned. The present utility model can prevent the liquid oil flowing back along the inner wall of the aluminum foil pipe from dripping into the PCB board tunnel oven, thereby effectively avoiding the pollution of the PCB board during the drying process.

[0031] Furthermore, the upper end surface of the intake pipe 7 is higher than the upper surface of the bottom plate of the intake chamber 3; there is a gap between the outer wall of the part of the intake pipe 7 located inside the intake chamber 3 and the inner wall of the intake chamber 3. It should be understood that the outer wall of the intake chamber 3 is in contact with the outside air, and it is inevitable that a small amount of oil fume will condense on the inner wall of the intake chamber 3; over time, liquid oil may also flow back on the inner wall of the intake chamber 3. By making the upper end surface of the intake pipe 7 higher than the upper surface of the bottom plate of the intake chamber 3; and by making there be a gap between the outer wall of the part of the intake pipe 7 located inside the intake chamber 3 and the inner wall of the intake chamber 3; in this way, the liquid oil flowing back along the inner wall of the intake chamber 3 can be effectively prevented from dropping onto the PCB board in the tunnel oven.

[0032] Furthermore, the oil drain port 5 completely covers the bottom of the exhaust chamber 2; the bottom plate of the intake chamber 3 is higher than the oil drain port 5 of the exhaust chamber 2 to guide the liquid oil to flow towards the oil drain port 5. It should be understood that the bottom plate of the intake chamber 3 being higher than the oil drain port 5 of the exhaust chamber 2 can effectively guide the liquid oil accumulated on the bottom plate of the intake chamber 3 to flow towards the oil drain port 5.

[0033] Furthermore, the top plate of the intake chamber 3 is inclined to guide the condensed liquid oil to flow towards the inner wall of the intake chamber 3. It should be understood that this can prevent the liquid oil condensed on the top plate of the intake chamber 3 from dropping into the intake pipe 7.

[0034] Furthermore, the oil receiving box 6 is connected to the exhaust chamber 2 by a buckle 8.

[0035] Furthermore, one of the intake pipe 7 and the exhaust pipe 4 is provided with a butterfly valve 9. It should be understood that the flow rate of the suction air flow can be controlled by the butterfly valve 9.

[0036] Furthermore, the intake chamber 3 is installed with a bracket 10 to support it on the top of the PCB board tunnel oven.

[0037] Further, the bracket 10 includes: a connecting member 11 and a supporting member 12; the connecting member 11 includes: a first lug 13, a second lug 14, and a connecting portion 15 connecting the first lug 13 and the second lug 14; the supporting member 12 includes: a third lug 16 extending in the horizontal direction and a vertical plate portion 17 extending upward from the third lug 16; the first lug 13, the second lug 14, and the third lug 16 are respectively provided with connecting holes; the vertical plate portion 17 is provided with a strip-shaped hole 18 extending in the up-and-down direction. It should be understood that by attaching the first lug 13 to the outer wall of the intake cavity 3 and screwing a bolt into the connecting hole of the first lug 13, the connecting member 11 can be installed on the intake cavity 3. By attaching the third lug 16 to the top of the PCB board tunnel oven and screwing a bolt into the connecting hole of the third lug 16, the supporting member 12 can be installed on the top of the PCB board tunnel oven. By aligning the connecting hole of the second lug 14 with the strip-shaped hole 18 and screwing on a bolt, the connection between the connecting member 11 and the supporting member 12 can be completed. The provision of the strip-shaped hole 18 extending in the up-and-down direction in the vertical plate portion 17 facilitates the adjustment of the height of the docking oil box 6, and further facilitates the connection or disconnection of the exhaust air transfer device with the exhaust air interfaces of the aluminum foil tube and the PCB board tunnel oven.

[0039] Although the specific embodiments of the present invention have been described above, those skilled in the art should understand that without departing from the principles and essence of the present invention, various changes or modifications can be made to these embodiments, but these changes and modifications all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
