Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas pressure monitoring technology, specifically to a gas pressure monitoring alarm switching device. Background Technology

[0002] The miniaturization of components and the multi-functionality of products on circuit boards have driven the high-density and three-dimensional design of circuit board mounting. This is characterized by increasingly dense solder joints, smaller solder joint sizes, and finer spacing. Soldering defects are a major factor affecting the quality of electronic products. To ensure the quality of surface mount electronic products, the characteristics of reflow soldering, a core step in the surface mount process, were analyzed. Based on the temperature and process characteristics of reflow soldering, several common soldering defects that occur during reflow soldering, such as solder balls, bridging, wicking, voids, Manhattan effect, and distortion of the oxygen concentration monitoring system in the PCB reflow oven, were discussed. To effectively reduce the incidence of soldering defects and improve the soldering quality of reflow soldering, the industry currently uses a method of directly supplying nitrogen to the furnace and manually adjusting the nitrogen level using a regulating valve to maintain a constant and large supply of nitrogen to the furnace to ensure solder joint quality and prevent oxidation. However, during manual adjustment, it is impossible to detect whether the nitrogen pressure inside the furnace is constant. During production, some areas may lack nitrogen, leading to oxidized solder joints on the PCB board, failing to meet standards, producing more defective products, and increasing production costs. In view of the above shortcomings, it is necessary to design a gas pressure monitoring alarm switching device. Utility Model Content

[0020] The gas supply mechanism 1 in this embodiment includes a first nitrogen storage tank 101, a first nitrogen generator 105, a second nitrogen storage tank 107, a nitrogen purification device 110, and a second nitrogen generator 113. The first nitrogen storage tank 101 is connected to a first gas supply branch pipe 102, which is connected to a main gas supply pipe 103. The first nitrogen storage tank 101 is connected to the outlet of the first nitrogen generator 105 via a first pipe 104. A first... One-way valve 106, second nitrogen storage tank 107 is connected to second gas supply branch pipe 108, second gas supply branch pipe 108 is connected to main gas supply pipe 103, second nitrogen storage tank 107 is connected to nitrogen purification device 110 through second pipe 109, second one-way valve 111 is installed on second pipe 109, nitrogen purification device 110 is connected to the gas outlet of second nitrogen generator 113 through third pipe 112, third one-way valve 114 is installed on third pipe 112.

[0021] The gas path switching mechanism 2 in this embodiment includes a first pressure sensor 201, a first flow regulating valve 202, a second pressure sensor 203, and a second flow regulating valve 204. The first pressure sensor 201 is installed on the first gas supply branch pipe 102, and the first flow regulating valve 202 is installed on the first gas supply branch pipe 102. The second pressure sensor 203 is installed on the second gas supply branch pipe 108, and the second flow regulating valve 204 is installed on the second gas supply branch pipe 108. The second flow regulating valve 204 is electrically connected to the controller 205. The controller 205 is electrically connected to the first flow regulating valve 202, the first alarm light 206, the second alarm light 207, the first nitrogen generator 105, the first check valve 106, the nitrogen purification device 110, the second check valve 111, the second nitrogen generator 113, the third check valve 114, and the blocking cylinder 301.

[0022] The blocking mechanism 3 in this embodiment includes a blocking cylinder 301 and a blocking plate 304. The blocking cylinder 301 is installed on the top of the frame 302. A groove 303 is provided on the inner side of the frame 302. The blocking plate 304 is slidably arranged inside the frame 302. The top of the blocking plate 304 is fixedly connected to the piston rod of the blocking cylinder 301. Slider 305 is installed at both ends of the blocking plate 304. The slider 305 is slidably arranged in the groove 303. The frame 302 is installed at the front end of the reflow oven 4. A feed port is provided at the front end of the reflow oven 4. A host computer is provided on the reflow oven 4. The host computer is electrically connected to the first pressure sensor 201, the second pressure sensor 203 and the controller 205 respectively.

[0023] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The host computer sets pressure values ​​according to different production standards for the products, and starts the first nitrogen generator 105. The nitrogen generated by the first nitrogen generator 105 is transported to the first nitrogen storage tank 101 through the first pipeline 104. The first nitrogen storage tank 101 stores the nitrogen, eliminating the need for frequent starting and stopping of the first nitrogen generator 105. By opening the first flow regulating valve 202, the nitrogen in the first nitrogen storage tank 101 is transported to the reflow oven 4 through the first gas supply branch pipe 102 and the main gas supply pipe 103. The first pressure sensor 201 detects the pressure of the nitrogen output in the first gas supply branch pipe 102 and transmits the detected pressure information to the host computer. The host computer compares the pressure information with the preset value. When the pressure is less than or greater than the preset value, the host computer sends a control signal to the controller 205. The controller 205 controls the first alarm light 206 to sound and controls the first flow regulating valve 202 and the blocking cylinder 301 to operate. By adjusting the opening of the first flow regulating valve 202, the first gas supply... The pressure inside the gas supply branch pipe 102 causes the first gas supply branch pipe 102 to reach a set pressure value. The blocking cylinder 301 pushes the blocking plate 304 to move, causing the blocking plate 304 to move downward along the slide groove 303. This moves the blocking plate 304 to the front end of the feed port of the reflow oven 4, blocking the feed of the reflow oven 4. When the pressure detected by the first pressure sensor 201 reaches the preset value, the host computer sends a control signal to the controller 205. The controller 205 controls the blocking cylinder 301 to drive the blocking plate 304 to move upward, allowing the feed port of the reflow oven 4 to feed normally and the reflow oven 4 to be in working condition. In this method, the first pressure sensor 201 can detect the pressure of the gas output from the first gas supply branch pipe 102 in real time and transmit the detected pressure information to the host computer. The host computer compares the pressure information with the preset value and sends a control signal to the controller 205. The controller controls the first alarm light 206 and the blocking mechanism 3 to work, thereby avoiding the generation of more defective products due to unstable gas supply.

[0024] This utility model is equipped with a gas supply mechanism 1. By starting the first nitrogen generator 105, the nitrogen produced by the first nitrogen generator 105 is transported to the first nitrogen storage tank 101 through the first pipeline 104. The first nitrogen storage tank 101 stores the nitrogen. The nitrogen in the first nitrogen storage tank 101 can be supplied to the reflow oven 4 through the first gas supply branch pipe 102 and the main gas supply pipe 103. By starting the second nitrogen generator 113, the nitrogen produced by the second nitrogen generator 113 enters the nitrogen purification device 110 through the third pipeline 112. After passing through the nitrogen purification device, high-purity nitrogen can be obtained. The high-purity nitrogen purified by the nitrogen purification device 110 is transported to the second nitrogen storage tank 107 through the second pipeline 109. The high-purity nitrogen in the second nitrogen storage tank 107 can be supplied to the reflow oven 4 through the second gas supply branch pipe 108 and the main gas supply pipe 103, thereby enabling the supply of two nitrogen gases of different purities.

[0025] This utility model is equipped with a gas path switching mechanism 2, which can switch between two nitrogen supply sources of different purities via a host computer (first flow regulating valve 202 open / second flow regulating valve 204 closed, first flow regulating valve 202 closed / second flow regulating valve 204 open, both first flow regulating valve 202 and second flow regulating valve 204 open, both first flow regulating valve 202 and second flow regulating valve 204 closed). It can also monitor the pressure data of the gas source in real time. By setting preset values ​​for monitoring two nitrogen sources of different purities, when the pressure sensor detects a pressure value higher or lower than the set value, the alarm light will illuminate. At the same time, the blocking cylinder 301 of the blocking mechanism 3 will push the blocking plate 304 to block the reflow oven 4 from feeding, thereby avoiding the generation of more defective products due to unstable gas supply.
