Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to a kind of frock, specifically a kind of automatic tin-lining frock of SOP packaging device. BACKGROUND

[0002] SOP back-end process steps are: injection molding, laser typing, high-temperature curing, overflow / electroplating, electroplating annealing, cutting rib / forming, inspection. The electroplating process is to use metal and chemical methods to plate a layer of metal coating on the surface of Lead Frame to prevent the influence of external environment (moisture and heat). The cutting rib / forming process is to cut a piece of Lead Frame into individual Unit (IC) first, and then to perform pin forming on single IC product to achieve the shape required by process. As can be seen from the specific operation steps of electroplating and cutting rib / forming, the electroplating protective layer will be correspondingly thinned due to the extrusion of the mold at the bending part of the single IC pin, and the cutting rib cross section will be completed without electroplating protective layer, which leaves a hidden danger for IC pin oxidation.

[0003] High humidity is an important reason for the formation of oxide layer. In most cases, the SOP packaged ICs purchased by electronic product manufacturers are not used immediately, but are stored in the warehouse in advance for backup. The inventory environment does not meet the requirements for storing devices, lacks corresponding dehumidification equipment, or the warehouse is in a humid environment for a long time. Therefore, the devices in the environment for a long time will inevitably absorb moisture and oxidize, resulting in a decrease in solderability.

[0004] Currently, tin-lining process equipment generally uses two types of soldering iron and tin pot, both of which use manual clamping of electronic components for tin lining. Manual tin lining has low production efficiency, and there are many uncertainties in manual clamping, such as the requirement in the aerospace industry standard QJ3267-2006 "Electronic Component Tin Lining Process Technical Requirements" that the non-tin lining length of the root of the electronic component should be greater than 2 mm. Manual operation cannot guarantee this requirement, and it is also impossible to guarantee the consistency of the tin lining of the pins of electronic components. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the utility model provides an automatic tin-lining frock for SOP packaging devices, and the technical solution is as follows.

[0006] An automatic tin-lining frock for SOP packaging devices includes SOP reverse carrier plates, SOP carrier plate pressing plates, and a support mechanism. The support mechanism has a plurality of SOP reverse carrier plates fixed on the upper side. The SOP reverse carrier plates have a plurality of accommodation cavities corresponding in size to the devices to be tin-lined. The accommodation cavities hold and position the devices to be tin-lined, with the pins of the devices extending outside the accommodation cavities. The SOP carrier plate pressing plates are pressed against the SOP reverse carrier plates to fix the devices.

[0007] Further, the SOP reverse carrier plate and the carrier plate pressing strip oppositely arranged have a plurality of pairs of suction magnets.

[0008] Further, the SOP reverse carrier plate is detachably mounted on the supporting mechanism.

[0009] Further, the supporting mechanism is provided with clamping blocks in pairs through screws, and the distance between the clamping blocks is consistent with the thickness of the SOP reverse carrier plate and the SOP carrier plate pressing plate.

[0010] Further, the depth of the accommodating bin is consistent with the thickness of the tin-coating device to be prepared.

[0011] Further, the width of the accommodating bin is consistent with the width of the tin-coating device to be prepared.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present application has the following beneficial effects: 1. The SOP component is placed in the accommodating bin of the SOP reverse carrier plate, and the pressing strip is pressed on the tin-coating SOP packaging device by magnetic attraction, only the pin is left on the outside, and the pin has the same length. The selective wave soldering can adjust the vertical and horizontal welding directions, so that the tin-coating length of the whole batch of electronic components is consistent, and the consistency of the tin-coating of the whole batch of electronic components is ensured. 2. The present application can tin-coat multiple electronic components at a time, which can effectively improve the tin-coating production efficiency. The operation is simple, which can further improve the tin-coating production efficiency, and the technical level of the workers is low, which can effectively reduce the labor cost.

A plurality of clamping blocks are mounted on the supporting mechanism in pairs through screws, the distance between the clamping blocks is consistent with the thickness of a group of the SOP reverse carrier plates and the SOP carrier plate pressing plates.
