Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of printed stencils, and in particular to a stencil adjustment device for SMT printed stencils. Background Technology
[0002] Printed stencils are a key tool in electronic manufacturing services for surface mount technology. They are precision-manufactured metal meshes with pre-cut openings that correspond to the locations of solder pads on the circuit board. The primary function of a printed stencil is to precisely print a thin layer of solder paste onto the PCB, providing the necessary adhesion for subsequent electronic component placement and soldering.
[0003] A search revealed that Chinese Patent Publication No. CN214488220U discloses an adjustable loading fixture for printing stencils in the SMT industry. This device allows for adjustment of the distance between two clamping parts and two L-shaped clamping parts according to different sizes of stencils, facilitating the fixing of stencils of different sizes. The fixing method is simple and quick, and the fixing effect of the stencil is good.
[0004] Regarding the aforementioned technologies, the inventors have discovered the following drawbacks: when clamping and cleaning the stencil, manual back-and-forth movement is required to clean the other side, which is a rather cumbersome process. If one side of the stencil is not thoroughly rinsed, solder paste or other contaminants may remain, which will affect the cleanliness of the openings and the printing quality of the stencil, thus affecting its subsequent use.

[0022] The following is combined with Figure 1 —5 provides further detailed description of this application.
[0023] This application discloses an SMT printing stencil adjustment device.
[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, an SMT printing stencil adjustment device includes a base plate 1, a housing 10 and a fixing plate 12 fixedly installed on the top of the base plate 1, the fixing plate 12 being located on one side of the housing 10, a fixing frame 11 being provided between the fixing plate 12 and the housing 10, a stencil 13 being provided inside the fixing frame 11, and a flip adjustment mechanism 2 being provided inside the housing 10, the flip adjustment mechanism 2 including a V-shaped strip 207 for flipping and rotating;
[0025] Please see Figure 5 The tilting adjustment mechanism 2 includes a lifting box 201 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the housing 10. A motor box 202 is fixedly installed on the front side of the lifting box 201. A motor 203 is fixedly installed on the inner wall of the motor box 202. Threaded rods 204 are rotatably connected to the front and rear sides of the inner wall of the lifting box 201. The output end of the motor 203 is connected to the threaded rod 204. A sliding block 205 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded rod 204. An mounting block 206 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the sliding block 205. A V-shaped strip 20... 7 is rotatably connected to one side of the mounting block 206. A fixed post 208 is fixedly connected to one side of the V-shaped strip 207. By starting the motor 203, the threaded rod 204 is driven to rotate, causing the sliding block 205 to drive the mounting block 206 to move horizontally, thereby causing the V-shaped strip 207 to move horizontally. During the horizontal movement, it collides with the limiting groove 214, thereby changing the shape of the V-shaped strip 207, and thus causing the steel mesh 13 to flip over, making it easier to clean the other side of the steel mesh 13, effectively improving cleanliness.
[0026] Please see Figure 5 A fixing strip 209 is fixedly installed on the rear side of the inner wall of the housing 10. A sliding groove 210 is opened on the front side of the fixing strip 209. A sliding frame 211 is slidably connected inside the sliding groove 210. A triangular block 212 is fixedly installed on one side of the inner wall of the sliding frame 211. A limit groove 214 is opened on the top of the sliding frame 211. After flipping, the motor 203 is restarted to reverse the direction, which drives the threaded rod 204 to reverse the direction, so that the sliding block 205 drives the mounting block 206 to move to the other side, so that the V-shaped strip 207 contacts one side of the triangular block 212, so that the V-shaped strip 207 returns to its original shape for the flipping operation.
[0027] Please see Figure 5 The housing 10 and the fixing plate 12 are provided with a sliding groove 213 on one side of the fixing plate 12. The other end of the fixing post 208 is connected to the fixing frame 11. The fixing post 208 is connected to the sliding groove 213. The sliding groove 213 is used to limit the fixing post 208 and prevent the fixing plate 12 from falling off when it is flipped.
[0028] The fixed frame 11 is provided with a snap-fit mechanism 3 on both sides. The snap-fit mechanism 3 includes a limiting component 30 and a plug-in component 31. The limiting component 30 includes a limiting block 304 for limiting, and the plug-in component 31 includes a snap-fit block 313 for fixing.
[0029] Please see Figure 3 The limiting component 30 includes two sets of limiting boxes 301 fixedly installed on both sides of the fixed frame 11. A spring 303 is fixedly installed on the inner side wall of the limiting box 301. A sliding opening 302 is opened on one side of the limiting box 301. The limiting block 304 is slidably connected to the sliding opening 302. The other end of the spring 303 is connected to one side of the limiting block 304. The steel mesh 13 is inserted into the fixed frame 11 by hand. Then, the cover plate 311 is held by hand to insert the snap-fit block 313 into the limiting box 301. The snap-fit block 313 squeezes the limiting block 304, causing the limiting block 304 to move to one side. Under the action of the spring 303, the limiting block 304 limits the snap-fit block 313, thereby realizing automatic snap-fit and preventing the steel mesh 13 from falling off when it is flipped, effectively improving the fixing speed.
[0030] Please see Figure 3 and Figure 4The plug-in assembly 31 includes a cover plate 311 set on the top of the fixed frame 11. Two rectangular blocks 312 are fixedly installed on both sides of the cover plate 311. A snap-fit block 313 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the two rectangular blocks 312. The snap-fit block 313 is snapped into the limiting block 304. Multiple springs 314 are fixedly connected to the bottom of the cover plate 311. A pressure plate 315 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the multiple springs 314. By manually pressing the pressure plate 315, the limiting block 304 is driven to slide inside the sliding port 302, so that the limiting block 304 compresses the spring 303, causing the limiting block 304 to move horizontally and disengage from the snap-fit block 313, thereby lifting the cover plate 311. This achieves quick disassembly and avoids wasting time by disassembling after cleaning.
[0031] The base plate 1 is provided with movable fixing mechanisms 4 on both sides, and the movable fixing mechanisms 4 include anti-slip pads 43 for anti-slip purposes;
[0032] Please see Figure 2 The movable fixing mechanism 4 includes mounting boxes 41 fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the base plate 1. An electric telescopic rod 42 is fixedly installed on the inner top wall of the mounting box 41. An anti-slip pad 43 is connected to the output end of the electric telescopic rod 42. Multiple casters 44 are fixedly installed on the bottom of the base plate 1. When the device is fixed, the electric telescopic rod 42 is activated, causing the anti-slip pad 43 to contact the ground, thereby detaching the casters 44 from the ground and fixing the device for subsequent use.
[0033] The installed flipping adjustment mechanism 2 is used to flip the steel mesh 13, making it easier to clean the other side of the steel mesh 13 and effectively improving cleanliness. The installed snap-fit mechanism 3 drives the plug-in component 31 to insert into the limiting component 30, so that the limiting component 30 limits the plug-in component 31, realizing quick fixation and preventing the steel mesh 13 from falling off when flipping. The installed moving fixing mechanism 4 is used to move the device so that the device can work in different places.
[0034] The implementation principle of the SMT printing stencil adjustment device in this application embodiment is as follows: A flipping adjustment mechanism 2 is installed to flip the stencil 13, facilitating cleaning of the other side of the stencil 13 and effectively improving cleanliness. A snap-fit mechanism 3 is installed to drive the insertion component 31 into the limiting component 30, causing the limiting component 30 to limit the insertion component 31, achieving rapid fixation and preventing the stencil 13 from falling off during flipping. A movable fixing mechanism 4 is installed to move the device, allowing it to operate in different locations. The motor 203 drives the threaded rod 204 to rotate, causing the sliding block 205 to move the mounting block 206, which in turn moves the V-shaped strip 207. During this translation, the V-shaped strip 207 collides with the limiting groove 214, changing its shape and causing the steel mesh 13 to flip, facilitating cleaning of the other side and effectively improving cleanliness. Restarting the motor 203 reverses the rotation, causing the threaded rod 204 to reverse as well, moving the sliding block 205 and mounting block 206 to the other side, thus allowing the V-shaped strip 207 to collide with the limiting groove 214. One side of the triangular block 212 contacts the V-shaped strip 207, restoring it to its original shape for further flipping. The groove 213 is used to limit the position of the fixed post 208, preventing the fixed plate 12 from falling off during flipping. During loading, the steel mesh 13 is manually inserted into the fixed frame 11, and then the cover plate 311 is manually held to insert the snap-fit block 313 into the limiting box 301. The snap-fit block 313 presses against the limiting block 304, causing the limiting block 304 to move to one side. Under the action of the spring 303, the limiting block 304 engages with the snap-fit block 313. Limiting the position allows for automatic locking, preventing the steel mesh 13 from detaching during rotation and effectively increasing the fixing speed. During disassembly, manually pressing the holding plate 315 causes the limiting block 304 to slide inside the sliding opening 302, compressing the spring 303 and causing the limiting block 304 to move horizontally and disengage from the locking block 313, allowing the cover plate 311 to be lifted quickly. When fixing the device, activating the electric telescopic rod 42 causes the anti-slip pad 43 to contact the ground, detaching the casters 44 from the ground and securing the device for subsequent use.
[0035] The above are all preferred embodiments of the present application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present application. Therefore, any equivalent changes made based on the structure, shape, and principle of the present application should be included in the scope of protection of the present application.
