[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , it is a kind of radio frequency power amplifier PCB board welding auxiliary device in the utility model embodiment shown, including:

[0028] Two guide pieces 10 are symmetrically arranged, the lower end of the guide piece 10 is detachably connected with the structural member 20, and the upper end extends above the upper surface of the structural member 20;

[0029] The pressing assembly 30 comprises a first pressing plate 31 and a second pressing plate 32 which are slidably arranged along the guide piece 10, an elastic member 33 arranged between the first pressing plate 31 and the second pressing plate 32, and a fixing member 34 which is threadedly connected with the guide piece 10;

[0030] The first pressing plate 31 is located between the elastic member 33 and the fixing member 34, and the second pressing plate 32 is located between the elastic member 33 and the structural member 20. By screwing the fixing member 34, the first pressing plate 31 compresses the elastic member 33, and in turn drives the second pressing plate 32 to apply uniform pressure to the PCB board 40 placed on the structural member 20.

[0031] When the radio frequency power amplifier PCB board 40 is welded, the back surface of the PCB board 40 and the upper surface of the structural member 20 are uniformly coated with solder paste. The PCB board 40 coated with solder paste is simply fixed to the copper block using screws to ensure that the positions of the two are relatively stable. Then, the lower layer plate is placed on the surface of the PCB board 40, so that each point of the PCB board 40 can uniformly contact the lower layer plate, thereby ensuring that the PCB board 40 is uniformly stressed during welding. The spring is placed in the circular groove of the lower layer plate to provide necessary elastic support for the welding between the PCB board 40 and the copper block, which helps to achieve uniform stress. The upper layer plate is placed above the spring, and the lower surface of the upper layer plate is also provided with a circular groove to fix the spring and further stabilize the entire structure. Finally, the four nuts are fixed around the device, and the tightness of the nuts is adjusted to control the stress between the PCB board 40 and the copper block, thereby ensuring uniform stress during welding. Through the above steps, the purpose of tightly welding and uniformly stressing between the PCB board 40 and the structural member 20 can be achieved, and the performance of the radio frequency power amplifier module can be effectively improved.

[0032] Specifically, a plurality of first threaded holes 21 are arranged at intervals on both sides of the structural member 20, and a first fixing hole 11 is formed on the guide piece 10. Screws are sequentially passed through the first fixing hole 11 and the first threaded hole 21 to fix the guide piece 10 to the structural member 20.

[0033] More specifically, the guide piece 10 comprises a fixing block 12 and a threaded column 13 fixed on the top of the fixing block 12.

[0034] It can be understood that the fixing block 12 is fixed on the structural member 20 by sequentially passing the screws through the first fixing hole 11 and the first threaded hole 21, so that the guide piece 10 is fixed to the structural member 20.

[0035] In the embodiment, the fixing member 34 is a nut connected to the threaded column 13 below. The size of the nut can be selected according to actual needs. During welding, the stress between the PCB 40 and the copper block can be flexibly controlled by adjusting the nut up and down, which is simple to operate. The guide member 10 is fixed to the side wall of the copper block by a screw. The guide member 10 adopts a heterogeneous structure design, which is composed of a threaded column 13 and a cuboid fixing block 12. The diameter of the threaded column 13 can be adjusted according to actual needs to adapt to different sizes of radio frequency modules, wherein the smaller diameter is suitable for small radio frequency modules, and the larger diameter is suitable for large radio frequency modules. In addition, the number of guide members 10 can also be increased or decreased according to needs. The cuboid is punched in the middle to be fixed to the side wall of the copper block by a screw. The material of the guide member 10 is usually aluminum or other non-tin materials, which can prevent the solder between the copper block and the PCB 40 from overflowing and adhering to the fixing block 12 during welding, avoiding the problem of being difficult to remove after welding.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 4 to 5 , specifically, the first pressing plate 31 and the second pressing plate 32 are both provided with a special-shaped through hole 35 for the guide member 10 to pass through, the special-shaped through hole 35 is a rectangular hole, so that the first pressing plate 31 and the second pressing plate 32 can move relative to the guide member 10 in the width direction of the structural member 20, so as to adjust the position according to actual needs. The size of the special-shaped through hole 35 can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs.

[0037] In the embodiment, the upper plate is a thin plate of a cuboid, made of aluminum material. The main function of the upper plate is to fix the spring and assist the nut to adjust the stress of the PCB 40.

[0038] The spring is fixed between the upper plate and the lower plate, and the number, position and size of the spring can be adjusted according to actual needs. The main function of the spring is to control the stress between the PCB 40 and the copper block, and to ensure the uniformity of the stress during welding.

[0039] Specifically, the first pressing plate 31 and the second pressing plate 32 are both provided with a limiting groove 36 on the side close to each other, and the limiting groove 36 is adapted to the elastic member 33.

[0040] In the embodiment, the limiting groove 36 is designed based on the size and number of the spring. In use, first, the lower plate is passed through the guide member 10, then the spring is fixed in the limiting groove 36. Next, the upper plate is passed through the guide member 10, ensuring that the limiting groove 36 on the back of the upper plate is aligned with the spring, and finally fixed by four nuts from above.

[0041] Specifically, the second pressing plate 32 is provided with a receiving groove 37 on the side close to the structural member 20, which is used to accommodate the structure protruding from the PCB 40.

[0042] In this embodiment, the lower layer plate is directly in contact with the PCB 40, and its structure is similar to that of the upper layer plate, but the surface is provided with a plurality of receiving grooves 37, which are used to accommodate the structure exposed from the PCB 40, such as the screw used to fix the PCB 40 on the top of the structural member 20. The size of the receiving groove 37 can be adjusted as needed. The material of the lower layer plate is also aluminum to prevent tin sticking. The function of the lower layer plate is to contact the PCB 40 in a large area, so as to ensure that the PCB 40 is evenly stressed during welding and achieves close contact.

[0043] In this embodiment, the first pressing plate 31 and the second pressing plate 32 are made of aluminum.

[0044] Specifically, the structural member 20 is provided with a second threaded hole 22 for fixing the PCB 40.

[0045] The operation example of the test product is as follows:

[0046] Preparation: First, clean the upper surface of the copper block and evenly and appropriately apply solder. Then, evenly and appropriately apply solder to the back of the PCB 40, and fix the two by screwing from the upper surface of the PCB 40.

[0047] Install the fixing block 12: Fix the fixing block 12 to the two sides of the copper block by screwing.

[0048] Place the lower layer plate: Then, place the lower layer plate above the PCB 40, and make sure that the screw on the PCB 40 passes through the special-shaped through hole 35 of the lower layer plate to ensure that the PCB 40 and the lower layer plate are in close contact. This step is the key to improving the welding quality of the welding auxiliary device.

[0049] Install the spring: Then, place the spring in the circular groove of the lower layer plate, and align the recess of the upper layer plate with the spring.

[0050] Fix the nut: Finally, tighten the nut slightly to stabilize the overall structure.

[0051] The heating process is as follows:

[0052] Heat: Place the overall structure on the heating table, and raise the temperature to the melting point temperature 220℃ of the solder.

[0053] Solder melting: After about 30 seconds, the solder between the PCB 40 and the copper block melts. At this time, tighten the nut again to make the excess solder overflow from between the PCB 40 and the copper block.

[0054] Cooling and removal: then, the whole structure is taken off from the heating table and placed on the heat sink, and after cooling, the welding auxiliary device is removed from top to bottom. At this point, the welding process is completed.

[0055] In summary, the RF power amplifier PCB welding auxiliary device in the above embodiments has the following advantages:

[0056] The welding between the traditional PCB 40 and the copper block usually adopts manual pressure connection or screw fixing, etc. These methods have poor welding effect, and often have problems such as operation danger and uneven welding. The present application increases the welding contact area through the lower plate, and improves the stress uniformity through the spring, realizes the close welding between the PCB 40 and the copper block, and the solder is uniformly distributed.
