Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of circuit boards, in particular to a PCB board with reduced deformation. Background Art
[0002] During the SMT soldering and assembly process, PCBs may deform. This deformation poses a greater risk in products with long lifecycles and high-precision soldering. One of the causes of this deformation is uneven heat conduction between the air and the PCB. PCBs typically consist of routing areas and non-routing areas. The non-routing areas are often covered with large areas of copper foil. Because copper foil has excellent thermal conductivity, it distributes heat evenly during the SMT soldering process, preventing localized heat concentration. Furthermore, the copper foil itself is less susceptible to thermal deformation and can also enhance the structural stability of the PCB.
[0003] Copper foil is generally laid in two ways: full copper and grid. Each laying method has its own advantages and disadvantages: full copper laying has better structural stability of the PCB board, especially for some thin PCB boards. However, the heat dissipation performance is poor. In terms of welding process, if the PCB board is subjected to wave soldering, it may warp and bubble due to poor heat dissipation. Grid laying has better heat dissipation performance and is suitable for high-power circuit boards and flexible circuit boards, but its effect on structural reinforcement is limited. Utility Model Content
[0004] In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a PCB board with reduced deformation. The PCB board has good structural strength and good heat dissipation performance, and can reduce the deformation of the PCB board during the SMT soldering assembly process.
[0005] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical solutions:
[0006] A PCB board with reduced deformation includes an insulating substrate, a first copper mesh attached to a first side surface of the insulating substrate, and a second copper mesh attached to a second side surface of the insulating substrate, wherein the first copper mesh includes a plurality of first copper foil units arranged in a first rectangular array, and the second copper mesh includes a plurality of second copper foil units arranged in a second rectangular array; adjacent first copper foil units in two arrangement directions of the first rectangular array are independent of each other and have a spacing therebetween; adjacent second copper foil units in one arrangement direction of the second rectangular array are integrally connected by a connecting portion, and adjacent second copper foil units in the other arrangement direction are independent of each other and have a spacing therebetween.
[0007] In the present invention, both a first copper mesh and a second copper mesh are disposed in a non-wiring area of a PCB board. The second side of the insulating substrate is used to accommodate conductive wires. During soldering, electronic components are attached to the first side of the insulating substrate, and the electronic components are electrically connected to the conductive wires on the second side of the insulating substrate via pins. During SMT soldering, the first side of the insulating substrate faces upward and the second side faces downward. The first and second copper meshes of the present invention have different arrangement designs. The first copper foil units in the first copper mesh are completely independent, thereby enhancing heat dissipation from the first side of the insulating substrate. The second copper foil units in the second copper mesh are partially independent, and adjacent second copper foil units in one arrangement direction of the second rectangular array are connected into an integrated structure, providing the second copper mesh with improved structural reinforcement while also ensuring improved heat dissipation. Furthermore, due to the different thermal expansion coefficients of copper and the insulating substrate under thermal conditions, the first and second copper meshes of the present invention both have internal spacing regions that can accommodate expansion of the PCB board. Furthermore, the unique structure of the second copper mesh can also limit excessive deformation of the PCB board.
[0008] Furthermore, the first copper foil unit is square in shape, and the side spacings of adjacent first copper foil units in two arrangement directions of the first rectangular array are equal.
[0009] Furthermore, the side length of the first copper foil unit is 0.4-0.6 mm, and the side distance between adjacent first copper foil units in two arrangement directions of the first rectangular array is 0.1-0.2 mm.
[0010] Furthermore, the second copper foil unit is square in shape, and the side spacings of adjacent second copper foil units in two arrangement directions of the second rectangular array are equal.
[0011] Furthermore, the side length of the second copper foil unit is 0.6-0.8 mm, and the side distance between adjacent second copper foil units in two arrangement directions of the second rectangular array is 0.1-0.3 mm.
[0012] Furthermore, the connecting portion is rectangular in shape, and an end portion of the connecting portion is connected to a middle portion of a corresponding collar edge of the second copper foil unit.
[0013] Furthermore, the width of the connecting portion is 0.4 to 0.7 times the side length of the second copper foil unit.
[0014] Furthermore, the thickness of the insulating substrate is 0.3-0.5 mm.
[0015] Furthermore, the thickness of the first copper foil unit and the second copper foil unit is 0.03-0.05 mm.
[0016] Furthermore, the connection direction of the connection portion is not parallel to the long side of the PCB board.
[0017] The application of this utility model can achieve the following beneficial effects:
[0018] 1. The first copper mesh and the second copper mesh of the present invention have different arrangement designs. The first copper foil units in the first copper mesh are completely independent of each other, so that the first side surface of the insulating substrate has a better heat dissipation effect. The second copper foil units in the second copper mesh are partially independent of each other. The adjacent second copper foil units in one arrangement direction of the second rectangular array are connected into an integrated structure, so that the second copper mesh has a better structural reinforcement effect while ensuring that the second copper mesh has a better heat dissipation effect.
[0019] 2. Due to the different thermal expansion coefficients of copper and insulating substrate under heating conditions, the first copper mesh and the second copper mesh of the utility model both have internal spacing areas that can adapt to the expansion of the PCB board. At the same time, due to the unique structure of the second copper mesh, excessive deformation of the PCB board can be limited. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

In another arrangement direction, a spacing is left between the sides close to each other of the second copper foil units and the sides close to each other are connected by a connecting portion 32, so that two adjacent second copper foil units form an integrated structure. After the multiple second copper foil units are connected in sequence in this arrangement direction, an integrated strip structure unit is formed. The extension direction of the strip structure unit is not parallel to the long side of the PCB board.
