Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of ball planting equipment, in particular to a storm double-layer ball planting head. Background Art

[0002] The function of a ball placement head is to accurately place solder balls onto substrates such as circuit boards and chips. To ensure an even distribution of the solder balls on the substrate, existing ball placement heads often use a blower-type structure, which disperses the solder balls by blowing air to ensure an even distribution (specifically, even distribution means that the solder balls are laid out in a single layer, not stacked).

[0003] When the solder balls are small, blowing air works well. However, when the solder balls are larger, they are difficult to move. This significantly reduces the uniformity of ball placement and increases the risk of missed balls. Specifically, missed balls occur when solder balls are not placed at certain predetermined pad locations during the placement process, resulting in a lack of solder balls at these locations.

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to improve the existing ball planting head to solve the problem of uneven ball planting.

[0005] The above information disclosed in this Background section is included only for enhancement of understanding of the background of the disclosure and therefore it may contain information that does not form the prior art that is currently known to a person of ordinary skill in the art.

For those skilled in the technical field of the present invention, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0038] The utility model provides a Storm double-layer ball planting head, which is suitable for application scenarios in which solder balls are laid flat on substrates such as circuit boards or chips, and can effectively solve the problem of uneven ball planting easily caused by existing ball planting heads.

[0039] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 The Storm double-layer ball planting head provided in this embodiment includes a ball assembly 1, a rotating air inlet shaft 2, and a brush disk 3.

[0040] Optionally, the ball assembly 1 includes a bottom frame 101 having the ball planting cavity 1011, and a top cover 102 located above the bottom frame 101. The top cover 102 covers the upper opening of the ball planting cavity 1011, so that only the lower end of the ball planting cavity 1011 is open. Furthermore, the top cover 102 is further provided with a central avoidance hole 1021 and an edge ball channel 1022.

[0041] Optionally, a sealing gasket 103 is provided between the bottom frame 101 and the top cover plate 102 to ensure airtightness between the bottom frame 101 and the top cover plate 102 .

[0042] The upper portion of the rotating air inlet shaft 2 is rotatably mounted in the avoidance hole 1021 via bearings 5 ​​and other components, while the lower portion of the rotating air inlet shaft 2 extends into the ball implantation cavity 1011. The rotating air inlet shaft 2 is provided with an air inlet hole 201 that connects to the lower chamber 1011c. A ball-passing gap 1011b is provided between the rotating air inlet shaft 2 and the wall of the ball implantation cavity 1011 for the solder balls to pass through. The brush plate 3 is fixed to the bottom surface of the rotating air inlet shaft 2.

[0043] The Storm double-layer ball planting head provided in this embodiment, when ball planting is required, first place the Storm double-layer ball planting head above the substrate to be planted; then, the solder balls are fed into the Storm double-layer ball planting head through the ball channel 1022, and the solder balls will pass through the ball gap 1011b into the space below the brush plate 3; then, air is blown to the solder balls below the brush plate 3 through the air inlet hole 201, so that the solder balls achieve a preliminary uniform tiling effect; synchronously, the rotating air inlet shaft 2 is driven by a rotating drive mechanism such as a motor belt assembly to drive the brush plate 3 to rotate, and during the rotation of the brush plate 3, the stacked solder balls will be dispersed, so that the solder balls below the brush plate 3 are completely evenly spread out.

[0044] Therefore, the Storm double-layer ball planting head provided by the present invention can effectively solve the problem of uneven ball planting in existing ball planting heads.

[0045] Optionally, the lower portion of the rotating air inlet shaft 2 separates the ball planting cavity 1011 into an upper cavity 1011a and a lower cavity 1011c; wherein, the upper cavity 1011a and the lower cavity 1011c are connected through the ball gap 1011b.

[0046] When the length of the ball-passing gap 1011b is too long, the solder balls are easily clogged in the ball-passing gap 1011b. If the ball-passing gap 1011b is too short, the storage capacity of the ball-passing gap 1011b for the solder balls is insufficient, which limits the ball-adding speed at the goal channel 1022. In this embodiment, an upper chamber 1011a is provided between the ball-passing gap 1011b and the goal channel 1022 to store the solder balls. Each time the material is fed, the solder balls can be quickly and in large quantities fed into the upper chamber 1011a through the goal channel 1022; the solder balls in the upper chamber 1011a will then slowly pass through the ball gap 1011b and move downward to the bottom of the brush plate 3. This structural design can not only improve the feeding efficiency of the solder balls, but also avoid the problem of solder ball clogging caused by the excessive length of the ball-passing gap 1011b.

[0047] Furthermore, the surface of the rotating air inlet shaft 2 close to the upper chamber 1011a is a slope structure 202 that is inclined downward toward the cavity wall of the ball planting cavity 1011, so that the solder balls in the upper chamber 1011a can automatically move toward the ball gap 1011b under the action of gravity, thereby maintaining continuous ball delivery to the lower chamber 1011c.

[0048] In this embodiment, an air inlet grille 4 is located at the center of the bottom surface of the rotating air inlet shaft 2, covering the opening of the air inlet hole 201. Accordingly, the brush plate 3 is annular and fixed to the edge of the bottom surface of the rotating air inlet shaft 2. The air inlet grille 4 blocks the opening of the air inlet hole 201, preventing the solder balls in the lower chamber 1011c from moving upward through the air inlet hole 201 to the exterior of the Baofeng double-layer ball implant.

[0049] Optionally, the brush plate 3 is provided with anti-static bristles (such as polyester anti-static bristles, carbon fiber anti-static bristles or polypropylene anti-static bristles, etc.), thereby preventing the solder balls from adhering to the brush plate 3 due to electrostatic effects.

[0050] Optionally, the surface of the rotating air inlet shaft 2 is coated with an antistatic coating (such as a carbon-based coating, a polystyrene coating, a polypropylene coating or a polycarbonate coating, etc.) to prevent the solder balls from adhering to the rotating air inlet shaft 2 during the falling process.

[0051] In summary, the Storm double-layer ball implant provided in this embodiment has the following advantages:

[0052] ① The combined use of the rotating air inlet shaft 2 and the brush disk 3 can effectively and evenly spread the solder balls on a substrate such as a circuit board or chip, solving the problem of uneven ball placement with traditional ball placement heads. Furthermore, since the solder balls can be evenly distributed, the risk of missing solder balls in specific locations is reduced, thereby improving the success rate of ball placement.

[0053] ② The design of the upper chamber 1011a allows for rapid and large-scale feeding of solder balls without clogging the ball gap 1011b, thereby improving ball planting efficiency.

[0054] ③The structural design of central air supply and surrounding balls makes the air blowing more uniform, which is conducive to the dispersion and flattening of solder balls;

[0055] ④ The brush plate 3 and the rotating air inlet shaft 2 are both anti-statically designed, which can effectively prevent the solder balls from adhering to the brush plate 3 or the rotating air inlet shaft 2 due to the static effect, ensuring a smooth ball planting process.

[0056] Finally, it should be noted that although the above embodiments have been described in the specification and drawings of this application, this does not limit the scope of patent protection of this application. All technical solutions generated by replacing or modifying equivalent structures or equivalent processes based on the essential concepts of this application using the contents recorded in the specification and drawings of this application, as well as directly or indirectly implementing the technical solutions of the above embodiments in other related technical fields, are included in the scope of patent protection of this application.
