Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of laser reflow soldering process fixtures, in particular to a reflow soldering process fixture for high-power blue lasers that is compatible with multiple specifications of BOX packaging. Background Art
[0002] Fiber lasers are a core component of industrial laser equipment. These lasers consist of numerous parallel-connected lasers packaged in a box, creating a stable, constant-power pump source that excites rare-earth-doped glass fibers, generating exponentially higher power output. These lasers are used in heavy-duty industrial applications, such as cutting and welding, with power levels reaching kilowatts.
[0003] In addition to serving as a pump source for fiber lasers, box-packaged lasers can also be used directly in industrial and consumer applications. Power consumption should be within 300W. Applications include conventional laser cutting, welding, rust removal, and marking.
[0004] Typical Box package laser ( Figure 1 Internally, multiple COS lasers are combined through beam shaping and spatial combining, and then output via optical fiber. The box-encapsulated laser generates significant heat, placing extremely high demands on the welding process between the internal COS laser components and the box housing. Otherwise, the final output power will drop rapidly due to thermal conductivity issues, impacting reliability.
[0005] Currently, only reflow soldering is suitable for mass production of COS lasers and box housings. While the reflow oven is standard equipment and provides the required atmosphere, custom fixtures are required for alignment and pressure application, tailored to the specific product.
[0006] Many companies strictly control the number of internal optical paths when designing this type of tube and fixture due to technical difficulties such as heat dissipation. The fixture generally adopts a slope downward pressure method ( Figure 2 This type of fixture typically consists of a base, counterweight, and stoppers. Each product change requires remanufacturing all parts, resulting in high production costs. Furthermore, the increased number of internal optical paths significantly increases the volume of the Box housing, making the traditional ramp-down method more limited. This also significantly increases the size of the fixture, making it cumbersome to operate. Relocating the fixture can easily cause the counterweight to contact, making it difficult to move. Thermal conductivity also deteriorates, affecting welding quality.
[0007] For larger tube shells, another method is to use the inner wall of the tube shell as a positioning reference, make guide parts and install them on the tube shell, and then use the counterweight to press the COS ( Figure 3This method is suitable for tubes and cases within a certain volume and cannot be used with multi-channel boxes. Furthermore, this fixture requires customized guide components for each product. The overall machining accuracy is high, relying on the precision of the tube and case. Removing the fixture can also be difficult; touching the guide components can damage the COS.
[0008] Therefore, the existing reflow fixture design has the following disadvantages:
[0009] (1) Poor compatibility, almost only one-to-one use;
[0010] (2) The operation is inconvenient, especially after heating, it is difficult to operate while wearing heat-insulating gloves, which can easily cause burns.
[0011] (3) When the volume of multi-channel products increases, there is no operating space, which is not conducive to transportation;
[0012] (4) After reflux, due to volume reasons, there is no operating space and cooling is required in the furnace cavity, resulting in low equipment utilization.
[0013] (5) The overall cost is relatively high. Utility Model Content

[0015] Technical solution: To achieve the above purpose, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0016] A reflow soldering process fixture for high-power blue lasers that is compatible with multiple specifications of BOX packaging, including a base plate assembly, a guide assembly and a counterweight block. The base plate assembly includes a base plate, equal-height columns and a positioning plate. The base plate and the positioning plate are both frame structures. The positioning plate is embedded in the frame of the base plate. The equal-height columns are vertically installed on the surface of the base plate. Several groups of equal-height columns are arranged and symmetrically distributed. The guide assembly includes a fixed plate and a guide plate. The surface of the fixed plate is provided with a groove and a hole is opened in the middle of the groove. The guide plate is placed in the groove and can be fixed and slid to adjust the position. The guide plate is provided with several sockets. The fixed plate is installed above the base plate through the equal-height columns. The counterweight block can be freely inserted into the socket, and the lower end can reach the position height of the positioning plate.
[0017] As a specific implementation scheme, the base plate is rectangular, and four equal-height columns are provided, distributed at the four corners of the base plate.
[0018] As a specific implementation scheme, a plurality of raised positioning pins are provided on the surface of the positioning plate.
[0019] As a specific implementation scheme, the top of the equal-height column is provided with a connecting piece for connecting to a fixing plate; preferably, the connecting piece is selected from a thumb screw.
[0020] As a specific implementation scheme, a strip hole is provided on the edge of the guide plate, and a locking device for locking the guide plate is provided in the strip hole; preferably, the locking device is selected from a cylindrical head locking screw.
[0021] As a specific implementation scheme, the side wall of the fixed plate is provided with an adjusting device for adjusting the position of the guide plate. The adjusting device passes through the side wall of the fixed plate and extends into the groove on the surface of the fixed plate, and its end can rest against the side wall of the guide plate; preferably, the adjusting device is selected from an adjusting screw.
[0022] Beneficial effects: Compared with the existing technology, the reflow soldering fixture of the present invention serves as a reflow carrier, which is backward compatible with the reflow processes of multiple large tube shells and various small tube shells or devices. It is easy to operate, and the quality of the device will not be affected by touching the parts during transportation. When switching between different products, only one part needs to be made, and the overall cost is very low. Moreover, the switching adopts a fast design, which is easy to operate and highly efficient. After the reflow is completed, you can wear heat-insulating gloves to carry it to avoid burns, and the cooling does not occupy the equipment, which improves the efficiency of the equipment. Therefore, the reflow soldering fixture overcomes many disadvantages of existing fixtures in the industry, and has the characteristics of unique structure, compatibility, convenient operation, easy transportation, high reflow efficiency, and good reflow heat conduction effect.
