[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the technical solution provided by the present application is a PCB board repair device, including a machine 1, a repair tool 3 and a drive component, wherein the machine 1 moves along a first direction ( Figure 1 The maintenance tool 3 includes a connecting slider 4, which is arranged on the maintenance tool 3 along the second direction ( Figure 1 The driving assembly includes a fixed plate 5, a first guide assembly and a second guide assembly. The fixed plate 5 extends along the first direction and has a first guide rail 6 on the top for slidingly cooperating with the connecting slider 4.

[0032] The first guide assembly includes a first drag chain 7, which is disposed on one side of the workbench 2 along the second direction and connected to the connecting slider 4, and is used to drive the maintenance tool 3 to move in the first direction relative to the first guide rail 6. The second guide assembly includes a second drag chain 8, which is disposed on one side of the workbench 2 along the first direction and connected to the bottom of the fixing plate 5, and is used to drive the fixing plate 5 to move in the second direction relative to the first drag chain 7, so that the maintenance tool 3 is aligned with the PCB board, with the first direction being perpendicular to the second direction.

[0033] The PCB board rework device provided in the present application, through the design of the first guide component and the second guide component, allows the repair tool 3 to move in two directions, reducing the time required for rework and improving work efficiency. It achieves precise positioning of the repair tool 3 relative to the PCB board, improves the accuracy and efficiency of repair, and can reduce the dependence on the operator's skills and reduce the possibility of human operational errors.

[0034] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 The first guide assembly also includes a connecting rod 9 and a first motor. The connecting rod 9 extends along the second direction and is passed through the first drag chain 7. One end of the connecting rod 9 along the second direction is connected to the connecting slider 4, so that the maintenance tool 3 remains connected to the second guide assembly when moving along the first direction.

[0035] For example, by designing the connecting rod 9 and the first motor in the first guide assembly, the movement of the maintenance tool 3 along the first direction can be precisely controlled, which helps to improve the accuracy and efficiency of the maintenance operation.

[0036] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 A fixing block 10 is provided at the other end of the connecting rod 9 along the second direction, which is used to abut and limit the first drag chain 7 when the connecting rod 9 moves along the second direction with the maintenance tool 3.

[0041] For example, a suction head 14 connected to an external negative pressure device and a heating head 15 connected to an external heat source can achieve precise suction and heating of the chip, improving operational accuracy and the success rate of chip replacement during maintenance. A lifting cylinder is used to drive the suction head 14, heating head 15, and solder nozzle 16 in the third direction.

[0043] For example, the solder paste provided by the electromagnetic pump solder pot 12 is usually more uniform and pure, which helps to improve the quality of solder joints, reduce soldering problems such as false solder joints and cold solder joints, and thus improve the rework quality of PCB boards.

[0044] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 The PCB board repair device also includes a receiving platform 13, which is arranged on a side of the electromagnetic pump tin furnace 12 away from the workbench 2 along the second direction and is used to place chips.

[0045] For example, the provision of the storage platform 13 helps to standardize the operating process, reduce operational errors caused by improper chip placement during the rework process, and keep the workbench 2 tidy, avoiding confusion caused by random placement of chips, thereby improving the cleanliness and safety of the work area.

[0046] In some embodiments, reference Figure 1 A plurality of bolt fixing holes 17 are provided at both ends of the workbench 2 along the first direction for fixing with the PCB board by bolts.

[0047] For example, by providing a plurality of bolt fixing holes 17 at both ends of the workbench 2, the PCB board can be fixed more firmly, thereby reducing the risk of rework failure caused by movement or vibration of the PCB board during the rework process.
