Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to material mechanics performance testing device technical field, concretely relates to a kind of fatigue test device of electric-thermal-force coupling field load. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the use process of electronic product, temperature cycle, vibration cycle and impact load are mostly inevitable, and the damage caused by them to electronic product is also irreversible. As the interconnection material inside electronic product, the solder is also subjected to these loads for a long time, which is easy to produce cracks in the solder body and cause fracture, thereby leading to interconnection failure and electronic product unable to use normally. When designing electronic product, engineers will ensure that the mechanical properties of each component meet the requirements, but the life prediction of the interconnection part of electronic product (i.e. solder interconnection joint) is mostly based on the condition without current loading, which has not small difference with the real situation (i.e. the interconnection part of electronic product is mostly served under power on). This difference will inevitably cause not small deviation in life prediction. At the same time, the solder interconnection joint is the weakest part in the whole electronic product. Therefore, the fatigue performance of solder and its interconnection joint under coupled load is still one of the key points and difficulties of in-depth research.

[0003] At present, there are various types of fatigue testers on the market, which can basically complete fatigue tests of different mechanical loads. On this basis, there are fatigue testers that can realize thermal-mechanical coupled load, and more advanced ones have a scanning electron microscope for thermal-mechanical coupled field action fatigue tester. In addition, DMA can also realize fatigue loading of electric-thermal-mechanical coupled load on solder and its interconnection joint by externally building a platform. The maximum mechanical load that DMA can load is 500N, and the temperature range is -150~600℃. DMA is mainly used to test the dynamic mechanical properties of viscoelastic materials under different frequencies, different temperatures and different loads. By changing the force, temperature and other parameters, the mechanical properties of the material are reflected, and the force, temperature and other parameters are applied to the sample for a long time, which can also achieve the effect of fatigue treatment of the sample. However, using DMA for fatigue test of materials has the problems of small load, long test time, high test cost and inevitable consumption of wear parts due to long-term uninterrupted use.

[0004] Although the existing technology is extensive, it still cannot simply simulate the actual service environment of solder and its interconnection joint—electric-thermal-mechanical coupled load. Therefore, in order to improve the fatigue test efficiency of solder and its interconnection joint, and to more conveniently simulate the actual service environment of solder and its interconnection joint, a fatigue test device capable of loading electric-thermal-mechanical coupled field load is proposed.

[0037] like Figures 1-10 As shown, in one embodiment of this utility model, a fatigue testing device capable of loading electro-thermal-mechanical coupled field loads is provided, including a frame 10, a temperature control chamber 20, a clamp, an electrical load source 40, a force load source, and a monitoring component 60. The temperature control chamber 20 is mounted on the frame 10, and the temperature of its internal cavity can be adjusted. The clamp is installed inside the temperature control chamber 20 and is used to fix the specimen. The electrical load source 40 is used to apply an electrical load to the specimen inside the temperature control chamber 20, and the force load source is used to apply a force load to the specimen inside the temperature control chamber 20. The monitoring component 60 is mounted on the frame 10 and is used to monitor and collect displacement data of the specimen inside the temperature control chamber 20.

[0038] This embodiment discloses a fatigue testing apparatus capable of loading electro-thermal-mechanical coupled loads. By designing the fixture within a temperature-controlled chamber 20, and with the cooperation of an electrical load source 40 and a force load source, it can cyclically load the specimen with electro-thermal-mechanical coupled loads. Simultaneously, a monitoring component 60 can monitor and collect the specimen's displacement data in real time, thereby achieving the acquisition of specimen deformation data during the electro-thermal-mechanical coupled load cycle. By processing and quantitatively analyzing the collected data, the structural fatigue performance of the specimen under electro-thermal-mechanical coupled load cyclic loading can be evaluated. Compared to conventional fatigue testing instruments with single loads or binary coupled loads, this fatigue testing apparatus can more realistically simulate the actual service environment of the brazing filler metal and its interconnecting solder joints, reducing testing time costs and improving testing efficiency.

[0039] In one embodiment, the frame 10 includes a base 11, a first support plate 12 and a second support plate 13. The first support plate 12 is mounted above the base 11 by four first support columns 36, and the second support plate 13 is mounted above the first support plate 12 by multiple second support columns 14. The temperature control box 20 is mounted on the first support plate 12.

[0040] In one embodiment, the force load source includes a modal exciter 50, a signal generator, and a power amplifier (not shown in the figures). The modal exciter 50 is located below the temperature control chamber 20 and is connected to a fixture to apply a force load to the sample. The signal generator is connected to the power amplifier via wires, and the power amplifier is also connected to the modal exciter 50 via wires. The signal transmission direction is from the signal generator to the power amplifier, and then to the modal exciter 50. The modal exciter 50 converts the electrical signal into a mechanical signal and outputs a mechanical signal.

[0041] In one embodiment, the fixture includes a first clamping assembly and two second clamping assemblies, with the first clamping assembly movably disposed between the two second clamping assemblies. The first clamping assembly includes a first clamping block 31 and a second clamping block 32, with the second clamping block 32 positioned above the first clamping block 31. A connecting rod 33 is provided on the first clamping block 31, extending out of the temperature control chamber 20 and passing through the first support plate 12 before connecting to the modal exciter 50. Further, the second clamping assembly includes a third clamping block 34 and a fourth clamping block 35. The third clamping block 34 is fixed to the frame 10 by a third support column 15, and the fourth clamping block 35 is positioned above the third clamping block 34. The first clamping block 31 and the second clamping block 32, as well as the third clamping block 34 and the fourth clamping block 35, are all clamped to secure the sample by bolts and nuts.

[0042] Since the sample is held by two second clamping components, and the first clamping component is located between the two second clamping components, when the modal exciter 50 is working, it will drive the first clamping block 31 and the second clamping block 32 through the connecting rod 33 to move the sample, thereby realizing the loading of force load on the sample.

[0043] In one embodiment, the modal exciter 50 is separately disposed from the frame 10. Specifically, the base 11 is provided with a clearance hole 111, and the modal exciter 50 is installed in the clearance hole 111. This structural design can avoid the displacement of the modal exciter 50 during long-term fatigue loading, thereby eliminating the impact on the test accuracy.

[0044] In one embodiment, the temperature control chamber 20 is provided with a heat insulation layer 21 and a temperature control plate 22. Further, the temperature control chamber 20 includes an upper chamber 23 and a lower chamber 24 that can be snapped together. The lower chamber 24 is mounted on the first support plate 12. The temperature control chamber 20 can provide a relatively closed environment for the test. At the same time, the structural design of the temperature control chamber 20 also facilitates the placement and removal of samples.

[0045] In one embodiment, the monitoring component 60 includes a laser displacement sensor 61 and a mounting block 62. The laser displacement sensor 61 is mounted on the mounting block 62, which is fixed to the second support plate 13. The top of the upper housing 23 is provided with a monitoring hole 25 through which the laser beam of the laser displacement sensor 61 can pass.

[0046] In one embodiment, the electrical load source 40 includes a power source (not shown in the figures) and two electrical clamps 41. The power source is connected to the two electrical clamps 41, which are used to clamp the sample inside the temperature control chamber 20. The wires of the electrical clamps 41 extend outside the temperature control chamber 20.

[0047] In this embodiment, the fixture is made of high-strength insulating material. The DC current source can apply DC current within the range of 0–80A with a current loading accuracy of ±0.001A. The AC power source can apply AC current within the range of 0–20V with a current loading accuracy of ±0.1A. The temperature control box 20 can control a temperature range of -150–500℃ with a temperature control accuracy of ±0.1℃. The modal exciter 50 can apply a force within the range of 0–1000N with a force loading accuracy of ±0.01N and a maximum amplitude of 12.5mm. The signal generator outputs a frequency range of 0.01Hz–2MHz, and the waveform types include sine wave, square wave, triangle wave, and sawtooth wave. In this embodiment, a frequency of 1Hz and a square wave waveform are selected. The laser displacement sensor 61 has a measurement center distance of 85mm, a measurement range of ±20mm, a measurement accuracy of 2.5μm, and a sampling frequency of 5000Hz.

[0048] Before the test, the sample is first fixed in the fixture, and two electric clamps 41 are used to clamp both ends of the sample. The wires of the two electric clamps 41 are then connected to the positive and negative terminals of the power supply, respectively. Next, the slots of the upper housing 23 and the lower housing 24 are aligned to place the sample in a relatively sealed environment. Then, the position of the laser displacement sensor 61 is adjusted so that it is above the monitoring hole 25 of the upper housing 23 and can measure the protruding surface of the second clamping block 32, completing the initial setting of the laser displacement sensor 61.

[0049] During the experiment, the temperature control plate 22 is first set to the target temperature, then the signal generator is started, and the excitation signal is set. The excitation signal is input to the modal exciter 50 through the power amplifier. The modal exciter 50 outputs power to the connecting rod 33, which drives the first clamping block 31 and the second clamping block 32 to make the sample move in accordance with the excitation signal. The power is turned on at the same time as the modal exciter 50 starts working, so as to ensure that the sample is subjected to electro-mechanical coupling load at the same time.

[0050] The laser displacement sensor 61 measures the displacement of the sample by observing the displacement change of the protruding surface of the second clamp 32. The cable of the laser displacement sensor 61 is connected to a computer via an RS-485 cable. The computer displays and records the measured displacement signal using HL-G1SM1 software, which enables data acquisition, real-time data display, and acquisition rate setting. By analyzing the acquired data, the deformation of the sample during electro-mechanical coupled cyclic loading can be determined, thereby evaluating the structural fatigue behavior of the sample.

[0051] Numerous specific details are set forth in this specification. However, it will be understood that embodiments of this invention may be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well-known methods, structures, and techniques have not been shown in detail so as not to obscure the understanding of this specification.

[0052] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of this utility model.
