Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of PCB processing frock, especially a frock for PCB substrate surface treatment. BACKGROUND

[0002] PCB board surface treatment technology aims to form a layer of surface layer with different properties from the substrate on components and electrical connection points by artificial means to ensure excellent solderability and electrical properties. In this process, the use of clamps is crucial, which ensures that the PCB board can be stably immersed in the treatment pool for various surface treatments.

[0003] However, it is worth noting that the positions clamped by the clamp often encounter some challenges during surface treatment. The treatment layer of these positions is often relatively weak, mainly because when the clamp clamps the edge of the PCB board, the contact of the clamping area with the surface treatment liquid is limited. At the clamping site, the surface treatment liquid may not be completely and uniformly covered, thereby forming a relatively weak treatment layer.

[0004] This weak treatment layer can cause a series of problems. First, these positions are prone to poor welding phenomena such as virtual welding and false welding during welding, which seriously affects the welding quality of the PCB board. Second, these weak areas are more susceptible to environmental factors such as oxidation and corrosion during long-term use, thereby reducing the overall reliability of the PCB board. Finally, from the appearance, the difference between these areas and other positions may affect the aesthetics of the PCB board. SUMMARY

[0005] The main purpose of the utility model is to provide a frock for PCB substrate surface treatment, which can effectively solve the problems raised in the background art.

[0008] In a further preferred embodiment of the utility model, the base pipe and the fixed head are designed as one body, the elbow pipe is designed in a "C" shape, and the end of the elbow pipe is fixed to the base pipe through a screw rod.

[0009] Further preferred in the utility model, the outer surface of the base pipe and the elbow is equipped with thread, the hexagon nut is connected with the base pipe and the elbow through thread;

[0010] Further preferred in the utility model, the end face of the L-shaped support is equipped with round hole, and the L-shaped support is connected with the up-down lifting equipment through bolt;

[0011] Further preferred in the utility model, the bolt rod is divided into bolt head and screw rod, and the bolt head is arranged at the rod head of the screw rod and is connected with the fixed head through screw thread.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the beneficial effects that:

[0013] In the utility model, the base pipe, the elbow and the hexagon nut are used in cooperation, and the PCB substrate can be quickly and stably installed on the tool structure. This design not only improves the work efficiency, but also ensures the stability of the PCB substrate during processing. The two hexagon nuts are fixed on the base pipe and the elbow respectively, and the position of the PCB substrate in the tool structure is effectively fixed, effectively preventing the shaking of the PCB substrate during processing, thereby ensuring the uniformity and consistency of the processing effect.

[0014] The design of the tool structure has certain universality and can adapt to PCB substrates of different sizes and shapes. At the same time, by adjusting the tightness of the hexagon nut, PCB substrates of different thicknesses can be adapted, and the applicability and flexibility of the tool are enhanced. The integrated design of the base pipe and the fixed head ensures the stability of the tool structure, and the "C" shape design of the elbow and the screw rod connection with the base pipe enhance the reliability of the structure.

[0020] In order to make the technical means, creative features, purposes and effects of the utility model easy to understand, the utility model is further described below in combination with specific embodiments.

[0021] In the display Figures 1 to 4 , we introduce a kind of tooling structure specially used for PCB substrate surface treatment. This tooling is mainly composed of three main parts: PCB substrate 1, processing pool 2 and processing liquid 3. Processing liquid 3 is injected into processing pool 2, while PCB substrate 1 is immersed in processing liquid 3 for surface treatment.

[0022] In particular, one end surface of PCB substrate 1 is provided with a through hole 5. In order to facilitate installation and fixation, a base pipe 6 is inserted into the through hole 5. The base pipe 6 is designed very uniquely, with a fixed head 7 at one end and an elbow 8 at the other end. It is worth noting that hexagonal nuts 9 are sleeved on the pipes of base pipe 6 and elbow 8, which allows us to firmly connect base pipe 6, elbow 8 and PCB substrate 1 together by rotating hexagonal nuts 9.

[0023] Jack 10 is opened on the side wall of fixed head 7, while pin hole 11 is provided at the lower end of L-shaped bracket 4. In order to fix L-shaped bracket 4 and fixed head 7, we use a bolt 12. The structure of bolt 12 is composed of a stud and a screw rod, where the stud is located at the top of the screw rod and is connected with fixed head 7 through threads. When the screw rod part of bolt 12 is inserted into pin hole 11, L-shaped bracket 4 and fixed head 7 are firmly fixed together.

[0024] In actual use, in order to quickly install PCB substrate 1, we only need to align its through hole 5 with elbow 8, and then let PCB substrate 1 slide along elbow 8 to fall onto base pipe 6.

[0025] Base pipe 6 and fixed head 7 are designed integrally, which ensures the stability of the structure. Elbow 8 adopts "C" shape design, and its end is fixed with base pipe 6 through screw rod. In addition, the outer surfaces of base pipe 6 and elbow 8 are provided with threads, which allows hexagonal nuts 9 to be tightly connected with them.

[0026] The end surface of L-shaped bracket 4 is provided with a round hole, which allows it to be connected with up and down lifting equipment through bolts, facilitating lifting operation.

[0027] When it is necessary to prevent the PCB substrate 1 from shaking, we only need to rotate the elbow pipe 8, and rotate one hexagonal nut 9 on the base pipe 6 and the other on the elbow pipe 8. Then, align the through hole 5 of the PCB substrate 1 with the base pipe 6, and make one end of the PCB substrate 1 blocked by the hexagonal nut 9. Next, align the screw rod of the elbow pipe 8 with the end opening of the base pipe 6, and rotate the elbow pipe 8 to achieve the close connection between the elbow pipe 8 and the base pipe 6. Finally, the complete fixation of the PCB substrate 1 is achieved by the second hexagonal nut 9, and the two hexagonal nuts 9 work together to effectively prevent the PCB substrate 1 from shaking.

[0028] Installation process: Take out the tooling, including the PCB substrate 1, the base pipe 6 (with the fixing head 7 and the connecting end with the elbow pipe 8), the elbow pipe 8 (designed as "C" shape and with the connecting screw rod with the base pipe 6), the hexagonal nut 9, and the L-shaped bracket 4. Prepare the PCB substrate 1 to be processed, and make sure that the through hole 5 is in the position that can be inserted into the base pipe 6.

[0029] Align the screw rod end of the base pipe 6 with the opening of the elbow pipe 8, and rotate the elbow pipe 8 until the two are closely connected. Put one hexagonal nut 9 on each of the base pipe 6 and the elbow pipe 8, and preliminarily rotate and fix them.

[0030] Align the through hole 5 of the PCB substrate 1 with the elbow pipe 8, and then gently push the PCB substrate 1 so that it slides along the elbow pipe 8 and falls onto the base pipe 6. Adjust the position of the PCB substrate 1 to ensure that it is stably placed on the base pipe 6.

[0031] Rotate the hexagonal nut 9 on the base pipe 6 to make it tightly contact with the PCB substrate 1, and preliminarily fix it. Rotate the hexagonal nut 9 on the elbow pipe 8 to make it tightly contact with the other side of the PCB substrate 1, and completely fix it; align the pin hole 11 of the L-shaped bracket 4 with the insertion hole 10 of the fixing head 7, and insert the insertion pin rod 12 to ensure that the L-shaped bracket 4 is fixed with the fixing head 7. According to the needs, connect the round hole of the L-shaped bracket 4 with the up-and-down lifting equipment to facilitate the subsequent lifting operation.

[0032] In use: Inject the treatment liquid 3 into the treatment tank 2. According to the above installation process, fix the PCB substrate 1 on the L-shaped bracket 4 through the tooling. By controlling the up-and-down lifting equipment, slowly lower the L-shaped bracket 4 together with the PCB substrate 1 into the treatment tank 2, and make sure that the PCB substrate 1 is completely immersed in the treatment liquid 3. According to the treatment needs, keep the PCB substrate 1 soaked in the treatment liquid 3 for a certain period of time to achieve the expected surface treatment effect. After the treatment is completed, by controlling the lifting equipment, take out the L-shaped bracket 4 together with the PCB substrate 1 from the treatment tank 2. Remove the insertion pin rod 12 to separate the L-shaped bracket 4 from the fixing head 7. Loosen and remove the two hexagonal nuts 9 to take off the PCB substrate 1 from the base pipe 6 and the elbow pipe 8. Perform subsequent operations on the treated PCB substrate 1, such as cleaning, drying, etc.
