Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a solder paste printing device, and more particularly to a solder paste printing device for SMT (Surface Mount Technology) assembly, belonging to the field of SMT assembly technology. Background Technology
[0002] In the SMT (Surface Mount Technology) assembly process, a stencil corresponding to the pad positions is fabricated and mounted on a solder paste printer to ensure solder paste is applied to specific pads. The PCB (Printed Circuit Board) position is monitored to ensure the stencil mesh aligns with the pad positions on the PCB. Once positioned, the squeegee on the solder paste printer moves back and forth across the stencil, allowing solder paste to pass through the mesh and cover the specific pads on the PCB. This solder paste printing process on the PCB, followed by reflow soldering to connect electronic components, is a common method used in the modern electronics manufacturing industry.
[0003] A solder paste printing device based on an SMT (Surface Mount Technology) production line, disclosed in publication number CN215835618U, includes a control console, a connector, and a printing head for solder paste printing. The control console includes: a working surface at the top; a substrate to be printed; support rods mounted above; crossbars connecting the support rods; and sliders mounted on the crossbars. This solder paste printing device for an SMT production line is equipped with a connector and a printing head. The appropriate printing head can be changed promptly according to different solder paste printing requirements. Solder paste is pressed from a storage tank along a guide tube and a connecting tube into a flow channel inside the printing head. The flow channel is connected to multiple solder outlets, allowing for simultaneous multi-point printing and improving processing efficiency. An annular groove is provided on the outer side of the solder outlet. A squeegee with an arc-shaped inclined structure can be selected to any angle along the annular groove to adapt to different angles of solder paste printing and ensure printing quality.
[0004] In existing SMT (Surface Mount Technology) production lines, solder paste printing equipment uses a squeegee to scrape solder paste through the mesh of a stencil and print it onto the PCB. However, with the use of the squeegee, solder paste easily adheres to its surface. When the squeegee stops working, the solder paste solidifies on its surface, affecting its subsequent use and causing solder paste to fall onto the workbench, contaminating the work environment.
[0005] Therefore, it is urgent to improve the solder paste printing equipment in the SMT assembly line to solve the above-mentioned problems. Utility Model Content
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a solder paste printing device for SMT assembly, which can solve the problem that in the existing SMT assembly line solder paste printing device, the solder paste is scraped by a squeegee to print onto the PCB board through the mesh on the stencil surface. However, with the use of the squeegee, solder paste easily adheres to the surface of the squeegee. When the squeegee is no longer in use, the solder paste solidifies on the surface of the squeegee, affecting the subsequent use of the squeegee. It also easily causes solder paste on the squeegee surface to fall onto the workbench, polluting the working environment.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment provides an SMT solder paste printing device, including a base 1, an mounting rail 2 at the upper end of the base 1, a placement seat 3 movably mounted at the upper end of the mounting rail 2, a printing seat 4 detachably mounted at the upper end of the placement seat 3, a perforated steel plate 21 detachably mounted inside the printing seat 4, a placement groove 29 opened on one side of the printing seat 4, an adjusting bracket 5 fixedly mounted at the upper end of the base 1, a printing frame 6 movably mounted on one side of the adjusting bracket 5, a printing head 7 mounted at the lower end of the printing frame 6, a solder paste nozzle 8 provided on one side of the printing head 7, and squeegees 9 detachably mounted on both sides of the printing head 7.
[0030] In this embodiment, the user places the PCB board inside the placement slot 29 of the printing plate 4. The printing frame 6 moves on the surface of the adjusting bracket 5. The printing head 7 at the lower end of the printing frame 6 moves above the printing plate 4. Solder paste is sprayed out through the solder paste nozzle 8 and falls on the surface of the wire-perforated stencil 21. As the printing frame 6 moves laterally, the solder paste can be scraped by the scraper 9, which facilitates the solder paste to connect with the PCB board through the surface holes of the wire-perforated stencil 21, thereby facilitating the rapid printing of the PCB board.
[0031] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a solder paste printing device for SMT assembly. The surfaces of the squeegee 9 and the solder paste nozzle 8 are provided with a scraping structure. The scraping structure includes a movable rod 10, which is movably inserted through both sides of the printing frame 6. A counterweight ring 11 is fixedly installed at the upper end of the movable rod 10, and a scraper plate 12 is fixedly installed at the lower end of the movable rod 10. The scraper plate 12 has a groove on its surface that cooperates with the squeegee 9 and the solder paste nozzle 8.
[0032] In this embodiment, when the printing frame 6 and the printing head 7 move downward, the squeegee 12 is in contact with the upper end of the printing base 4. As the printing frame 6 and the printing head 7 continue to move downward, the printing frame 6 moves downward along the movable rod 10, and the squeegee 9 and the solder paste nozzle 8 can move downward through the squeegee 12. After printing, the printing head 7 and the printing frame 6 move upward, and the squeegee 9 and the solder paste nozzle 8 move upward along the squeegee 12. Under the action of the squeegee 12, it is convenient to clean the surface of the squeegee 9 and the solder paste nozzle 8, so as to avoid solder paste adhering to the surface of the squeegee 9 and the solder paste nozzle 8 and avoid contaminating the working environment.
[0033] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, this embodiment provides a solder paste printing device for SMT assembly. Assembly rails 13 are provided on both sides of the solder paste nozzle 8.

A pop-out spring 15 is sleeved on the surface of the installation rod 14, and one end of the pop-out spring 15 is in contact with the assembly strip.
[0034] In this embodiment, the user pulls the lever 20 upward, which causes the limiting block 18 to move upward. The limiting block 18 can be pulled out from inside the slot 16, so that the limiting block 18 compresses the locking spring 19 and retracts into the mounting groove 17, allowing the assembly strip to move inside the assembly rail 13. When the limiting block 18 disengages from the slot 16, the assembly strip moves to the outside of the assembly rail 13 under the action of the pop-out spring 15, which facilitates the quick installation and removal of the scraper 9.

Pop-out blocks 27 are movably inserted on both sides of the movable slots. One side of the pop-out blocks 27 is in contact with the upper end of the inner wall of the assembly slots 22. A return spring 28 is installed between the two pop-out blocks 27. One side of the lower end of the pop-out blocks 27 is inclined.
[0036] In this embodiment, the user places the perforated steel plate 21 inside the printing base 4, and the assembly block 23 is inserted into the assembly hole. When the pop-out blocks 27 on both sides of the assembly block 23 contact the assembly hole, the pop-out blocks 27 are pressed into the movable groove, compressing the return spring 28. When the perforated steel plate 21 moves downward to its maximum position inside the printing base 4, the pop-out blocks 27 move into the assembly groove 22. Under the action of the return spring 28, the pop-out blocks 27 pop out, so that the upper end of the pop-out blocks 27 fits against the upper end of the assembly groove 22, thereby facilitating the quick installation of the perforated steel plate 21.
[0037] like Figures 5 to 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a solder paste printing device for SMT assembly. The printing base 4 has movable slots on both sides. A counterweight 26 is movably inserted into the upper end of the movable slot. The upper end of the counterweight 26 is movably inserted into the assembly slot 22 and a reset strip 24 is installed thereon. Both ends of the reset strip 24 have reset holes 25.
[0038] In this embodiment, the user flips the printing base 4 over, and the reset bar 24 moves downward under the action of the counterweight 26, so that the reset bar 24 is fitted onto the surface of the assembly block 23, so that the pop-out block 27 is squeezed into the interior of the assembly block 23, and the assembly block 23 can be pulled out from the interior of the assembly hole, thereby facilitating the quick disassembly and replacement of the wire hole steel plate 21.
