Detailed Implementation
[0032] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model. Specific Implementation Example 1:
[0034] Please see Figures 1-9As shown, this utility model is a PCBA (PCBA) surface mount assembly thickness detection device, including a base plate 1, two vernier calipers 2, two portal frame brackets 3, a jaw connecting guide beam 4, a sliding sleeve 5, and a probe 6. The base plate 1 includes a rectangular plate 11. Slots 12, which mate with the heads of the main scales of the vernier calipers 2, are symmetrically formed on both sides of the upper surface of the rectangular plate 11. A positioning insertion hole 13 and two first threaded holes 14 are symmetrically formed on both sides of the slot 12. The lower end of the portal frame bracket 3 is inserted into the two positioning insertion holes 13 and fixed to the base plate 1 by four first bolts 7, and the tail end of the main scale of the vernier calipers 2 is inserted into the portal frame bracket 3. Three second threaded holes 21 are formed on the outer measuring jaws of the vernier calipers 2. The jaw connecting guide beam 4 is mounted on the two outer measuring jaws of the two vernier calipers 2 by six second bolts 8. The sliding sleeve 5 is horizontally slidably mounted on the jaw connecting guide beam 4. The probe 6 is vertically clamped and mounted on the sliding sleeve 5. The base plate 1 has a rectangular channel 15 for placing PCBA surface mount components between the two portal frame brackets 3 on its upper surface. The vernier caliper 2 is an electronic digital vernier caliper.
[0035] Two slots 12 are made in the base plate 1. Two vernier calipers 2 are inserted vertically into the two slots 12. Two portal frame brackets 3 are used to stabilize the vertical position of the two vernier calipers 2. A jaw connecting guide beam 4 is installed on the outer measuring jaw of the two vernier calipers 2. A sliding sleeve 5 is installed on the jaw connecting guide beam 4, which slides between the two vernier calipers 2. A probe 6 is clamped on the sliding sleeve 5. The relative position of the probe 6 and the sliding sleeve 5 is adjusted according to the measurement needs. The standard soldered and inspected PCBA surface mount assembly is placed on the rectangular channel 15. Before measuring the PCBA surface mount assembly, the jaw connecting guide beam 4 is moved until the probe 6 contacts the rectangular channel 15. The electronic digital displays of the two vernier calipers 2 are zeroed. The sliding sleeve 5 is moved back and forth on the jaw connecting guide beam 4. The electronic digital displays of the two vernier calipers 2 are observed to see if there is any change, so as to calibrate the accuracy of the entire testing device.
[0036] After calibration, the PCBA patch assembly is moved within the rectangular channel 15, and the sliding sleeve 5 is moved to measure the thickness of all components on the PCBA patch assembly. The electronic digital displays of the two vernier calipers 2 can quickly read the overall thickness of the corresponding components after they are mounted on the PCB board. The data from the two electronic digital displays can be cross-referenced, allowing for timely detection of large errors in the measuring device when significant deviations occur, ensuring the accuracy of the measurement data. The standard height of each component after soldering is marked through physical measurement, making it fast, convenient, and accurate for small-batch production trials. It can also be used as a reference for automatic inspection in subsequent large-scale automated production.
[0037] The portal frame 3 includes a U-shaped plate 31. The two free ends of the U-shaped plate 31 are inserted into two positioning holes 13. A rectangular groove 32 is formed on the inner top surface of the U-shaped plate 31 to mate with the tail end of the main scale of the vernier caliper 2. A rectangular through hole 33 is formed at the bottom of the rectangular groove 32 to mate with the depth gauge of the vernier caliper 2. A first reinforcing rib 34 is fixed to each of the two inner corners of the U-shaped plate 31. A rectangular strip 35 is vertically fixed to each of the two opposite outer surfaces of the U-shaped plate 31 near the free ends. Two first round through holes 36 are formed on the rectangular strip 35, corresponding to the two first threaded holes 14. A second reinforcing rib 37 is fixed between the upper surface of the rectangular strip 35 and the outer surface of the U-shaped plate 31. The portal frame 3 has a reasonable and reliable overall structure, provides excellent stability for the vernier caliper 2, and is easy to install and adjust.
[0038] The measuring jaw connecting guide beam 4 includes two trapezoidal plates 41. Each trapezoidal plate 41 has three second through holes 42 that correspond to three second threaded holes 21. Two parallel cylindrical rods 43 are fixed between the two trapezoidal plates 41. The sliding sleeve 5 includes a sliding sleeve 51 that slides with the two cylindrical rods 43. A vertically arranged inner cylindrical sleeve 52 is fixed to one side of the sliding sleeve 51. The probe 6 is vertically slidably installed inside the inner cylindrical sleeve 52. A shank bolt 53 is threaded through the side wall of the inner cylindrical sleeve 52. The probe 6 includes a cylindrical rod 61 with a tapered lower end. A sapphire probe head 62 is embedded in the lower end of the cylindrical rod 61.
[0039] The jaw connecting guide beam 4 facilitates the simultaneous movement of the verniers of the two vernier calipers 2. The sliding sleeve 5 facilitates the movement and repositioning of electronic components in the width direction for detection. The probe 6 has a small contact point with the component and is not easily worn, which is conducive to the long-term stable use of the probe 6 and ensures the accurate detection of the thickness of the PCBA surface mount assembly.
