Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of PCB production, in particular to a PCB board warping correction device. Background Art

[0002] PCBs, or printed circuit boards, are key components of electronic devices. Warpage is a common problem during PCB manufacturing due to a variety of factors. The material properties of PCBs are a key factor. Common PCB materials include fiberglass and epoxy resin, which expand and contract to varying degrees under varying temperature and humidity conditions. For example, during PCB processing, such as lamination of multilayer boards, internal stresses can easily build up during the cooling process after the high-temperature, high-pressure lamination process, due to the varying coefficients of thermal expansion of each layer. This can lead to warpage. Furthermore, the manufacturing process can also affect PCB warpage. During processes like etching and electroplating, improper control of parameters such as solution concentration, temperature, and processing time can lead to uneven deposition or corrosion of the PCB surface material, resulting in structural imbalance and warpage. Furthermore, during PCB assembly, factors such as high soldering temperatures and uneven component distribution can further exacerbate PCB warpage.

[0003] In the prior art, traditional PCB board leveling usually uses a laser or heat gun to heat the warped area to soften it, and then mechanically pressurizes the local area to level it. However, in the prior art, the traditional heating structure is usually fixed in position, which can easily cause uneven heating of the PCB board and affect subsequent correction operations. Therefore, a PCB board warpage correction device is proposed to solve the above problem. Utility Model Content

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0030] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 , the utility model provides an embodiment: a PCB board warpage correction device, including a workbench 1 and a PCB board 7, the workbench 1 is usually made of solid steel to ensure that it has sufficient strength and stability to support the entire correction device and the PCB board 7 placed thereon, and can provide a stable foundation for the subsequent pressurization process, the top of the workbench 1 is fixedly connected with a support frame 3, the support frame 3 provides vertical support for the subsequent pressurization structure, and also provides an installation position for the subsequent heating structure, the interior of the support frame 3 is fixedly connected with a fixing box 8, the fixing box 8 is usually in the shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, and the interior of the fixing box 8 is a relatively closed space for installing subsequent transmission components, which plays a role in protecting these components from external dust and also plays a guiding role in the sliding of subsequent structures.

[0032] Reference Figures 1 to 2The rear side of the fixed box 8 is fixedly connected with a motor 9. The function of the motor 9 is to provide precise power output, drive the subsequent structure to produce a reciprocating sliding effect, so that the hot air generated by the heating structure evenly heats the PCB board 7. The driving end of the motor 9 is fixedly connected with a gear 10. The gear 10 generates self-rotation by receiving the rotational power of the motor 9, thereby driving the subsequent meshing structure to produce a circular motion around it. The front side of the gear 10 is fixedly connected with a connecting rod 11. The connecting rod 11 is used to connect the subsequent meshing structure so that it produces a limiting effect when it rotates. The internal rotation of the connecting rod 11 is connected to the rotating shaft 21. The rotating shaft 21 makes a circular motion around the gear 10, thereby driving the subsequent structure to produce orbital revolution. The internal sliding connection of the fixed box 8 is connected with a slider 14. The reciprocating sliding of the slider 14 drives the uniform movement of the heating structure, so that the hot air blown out evenly heats the PCB board 7. The rear side of the rotating shaft 21 is fixedly connected with a gear 2 12. The meshing relationship between the gear 2 12 and the gear 10 is achieved through the gear 10. The rotation drives gear 2 12 to produce meshing circular motion, driving the subsequent structure to slide back and forth. The outside of the rotating shaft 21 is fixedly connected with a connecting rod 2 13. The connecting rod 2 13 is used to connect gear 2 12 and the slider 14, transmitting power to the slider 14, causing it to slide back and forth. The front side of the slider 14 is fixedly connected with a hot air cylinder 15. The hot air cylinder 15 is cylindrical and has heating elements and fans inside. It can blow out hot air to heat the PCB board 7, making it softer at a certain temperature, which is convenient for warping correction. The inside of the workbench 1 is provided with a fixing component for fixing the PCB board 7. The outside of gear 2 12 is meshed with the outside of gear 1 10. This meshing method ensures accurate power transmission and reasonable control of the speed. The reciprocating sliding effect is achieved through two sets of gears. The front side of the connecting rod 2 13 is rotatably connected to the rear side of the slider 14, thereby realizing power transmission. The slider 14 is driven to slide back and forth through the connecting rod 2 13, and the bottom of the PCB board 7 contacts the top of the workbench 1.

[0033] Reference Figure 1 The front side of the workbench 1 is rotatably connected to a rotating box cover 5. The function of the rotating box cover 5 is to protect the tools placed inside the workbench 1 when the device is not in use, and to prevent dust, debris, etc. from entering the device and affecting the normal operation and service life of the tools and items. The bottom of the workbench 1 is rotatably connected to multiple support seats 2. The support seats 2 can fine-tune the height. When the device is placed on an uneven ground, the workbench 1 can be kept horizontal by adjusting the angle of the support seats 2 to ensure that the PCB board 7 can be placed stably on the workbench 1. The bottom of the support frame 3 is fixedly connected to a hydraulic rod 4. The function of the hydraulic rod 4 is to provide vertical power to the subsequent structure so that it can press the PCB board 7. The driving end of the hydraulic rod 4 is fixedly connected to a pressure plate 6. The pressure plate 6 is a rectangular plate-like structure. By contacting the PCB board 7, it applies pressure to level it.

[0034] Referring to Figures 3 and 4 , the fixed assembly includes an electric push rod 16, the bottom of which is fixedly connected inside the workbench 1, and the electric push rod 16 is the power source of the fixed assembly, which drives the subsequent structure to slide through the retraction of the driving end. The driving end of the electric push rod 16 is fixedly connected with a piston head 19, which is generally cylindrical in shape and made of rubber with good wear resistance and sealing performance. The inside of the workbench 1 is fixedly connected with a suction cover 17, which is bowl-shaped in overall shape. The top opening is large to provide a large contact area with the bottom of the PCB board 7, which can more evenly adsorb the PCB board 7. The bottom of the suction cover 17 is fixedly connected with a piston cylinder 18, and the outside of the piston head 19 is slidingly connected inside the piston cylinder 18. The piston cylinder 18 has good sealing performance and mechanical strength to ensure that no gas leakage occurs during the movement of the piston head 19, thereby ensuring stable changes in the internal air pressure of the suction cover 17. The inside of the suction cover 17 is provided with an air suction hole 20, which functions to form a negative pressure inside the suction cover 17 when the piston head 19 moves downward, thereby adsorbing and fixing the PCB board 7. The top of the suction cover 17 is in contact with the bottom of the PCB board 7.

[0035] Working principle: First, the staff places the PCB board 7 on the top of the suction cover 17, turns on the power switch of the electric push rod 16, and drives the piston head 19 to slide downward through the retraction of the driving end. At this time, the air inside the piston cylinder 18 and the suction cover 17 moves downward through the air suction hole 20, forming a negative pressure inside the suction cover 17, thereby tightly adsorbing the bottom of the PCB board 7 and fixing the PCB board 7 on the top of the workbench 1, which can provide stable and reliable fixation for the PCB board 7. During the subsequent operation of heating and pressurizing to correct the warping degree, it is ensured that the PCB board 7 will not be displaced or shaken due to external interference, thereby effectively improving the precision and accuracy of the correction operation. Avoiding the correction error caused by the insecure fixation of the PCB board 7, the quality and consistency of the product are improved.

[0036] Secondly, the power switch of the motor 9 is turned on, the driving end of the motor 9 is rotated to drive the gear one 10 to rotate, thereby driving the connecting rod one 11 to rotate, prompting the gear two 12 to make a meshing circumferential motion around the gear one 10, and finally driving the connecting rod two 13 to pull the sliding block 14 to reciprocatingly slide inside the fixed box 8, so that the hot air of the hot air cylinder 15 is reciprocatingly and uniformly blown on the surface of the PCB board 7. During the heating process, uniform heat distribution can avoid new stress or deformation of the PCB board 7 due to local overheating or overcooling, ensuring the stability and consistency of the heating process, reducing the risk of product quality fluctuations caused by human factors, and providing reliable technical support for large-scale and high-quality PCB board 7 production and processing, thereby better guaranteeing the quality and effect of the warping degree correction work.

[0037] It should be pointed out finally that: the above only for the preferred embodiments of the present application have, and not for limiting the present application, although the present application is described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for the skilled in the art, it still can be modified, or for part of the technical features of the equivalent replacement, within the spirit and principles of the present application, any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc., should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
