Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circuit board manufacturing equipment technology, and in particular to a clean drying system for PCB boards. Background Technology

[0002] In the drying section of the pre-processing line in the existing cleanroom, natural air is used for drying. Since natural air contains a large number of particles larger than 0.5um, these particles will adhere to the surface of the PCB board after it passes through the drying section. This results in foreign matter on the PCB board surface after lamination, coating, or printing. After the production of inner or outer layer patterns, the foreign matter under the dry film will cause circuit gaps or open circuits during etching. In the solder mask printing process, foreign matter on the board surface will cause foreign matter residue under the ink after printing, resulting in waste due to impurities under the ink. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and provide a clean drying system for PCB boards to solve the problem of board jamming during PCB board production.

The drying section includes a drying machine hood, a second conveying component, and a drying component, which are both disposed inside the drying machine hood. The cleanroom is equipped with multiple printing presses and a black cloth filter.

[0006] The first and second conveying components are arranged horizontally and coaxially to convey the PCB board; drying components for drying the PCB board are arranged above and below the second conveying component.

[0007] The drying assembly includes an upper air outlet hood and a lower air outlet hood, which are arranged parallel above and below the second conveying assembly. The upper air outlet hood and the lower air outlet hood are connected by a connecting pipe. The connecting pipe is connected to a blower, which is connected to one end of an exhaust pipe. The other end of the exhaust pipe extends out of the dryer hood and is connected to one end of an inlet pipe. The other end of the inlet pipe extends into the cleanroom, and the end of the inlet pipe extending into the cleanroom is connected to a black cloth filter, so that the clean air in the cleanroom is filtered by the black cloth filter and then introduced into the dryer hood.

[0008] Furthermore, the upper air outlet hood includes an air outlet square tube and an air outlet side tube, with an air outlet side tube vertically connected to each side of the air outlet square tube, making the upper air outlet hood a horizontally shaped c.

[0009] Furthermore, the bottom surface of the air outlet square tube is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed small air outlet tubes, and the inner surface of the air outlet side tube is provided with a plurality of evenly distributed small air outlet tubes.

[0010] Furthermore, the air outlet duct is connected to the connecting pipe, and is used to draw clean air out through the air outlet duct and blow it onto the PCB board on the second conveying component.

[0011] Furthermore, the structure of the lower air outlet hood is the same as that of the upper air outlet hood, and the lower air outlet hood and the upper air outlet hood are arranged symmetrically about the second conveying component.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0023] The drying assembly 9 includes an upper air outlet hood 9.1 and a lower air outlet hood 9.4, which are arranged in parallel above and below the second conveying assembly 4. The upper air outlet hood 9.1 and the lower air outlet hood 9.4 are connected by a connecting pipe 9.3. The connecting pipe 9.3 is connected to a blower 8, which is connected to one end of an exhaust pipe 7. The other end of the exhaust pipe 7 extends out of the dryer hood 3 and is connected to one end of an inlet pipe 6. The other end of the inlet pipe 6 extends into the cleanroom 10, and the end of the inlet pipe 6 extending into the cleanroom 10 is connected to a black cloth filter 5. The clean air in the cleanroom 10 is filtered by the black cloth filter 5 and then introduced into the dryer hood 3.

[0026] Working principle:

[0027] This utility model relates to a clean drying system for PCB boards, comprising a pretreatment washing process → drying section (clean air drying) → film application (coating or printing) → next process. The drying section utilizes a specific arrangement. Due to the upper and lower air hoods and the arrangement of the small air outlet pipes on both sides of the hoods, drying is more uniform and thorough. Clean air from the cleanroom is introduced into the drying section after being filtered through a black cloth filter. Since the clean air in the cleanroom contains 0.5µm particles, which are controlled to within Class 1000, the amount of particulate matter entering the drying section is relatively small. After passing through the pretreatment drying section, the PCB board surface has fewer foreign objects, improving product cleanliness and avoiding interference with subsequent printing, etching, and other processes. This improves the finished product quality and yield, and reduces production costs.

[0028] The above are merely specific application examples of this utility model and do not constitute any limitation on the scope of protection of this utility model. All technical solutions formed by equivalent transformations or equivalent substitutions fall within the scope of protection of this utility model.
