Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flexible circuit board processing technology, specifically to a welding device for surface mounting of flexible circuit boards. Background Technology

[0002] In today's rapidly developing electronic technology, flexible printed circuit boards (FPCs) have been widely used in various electronic devices due to their significant advantages such as flexibility, thinness, and small footprint. From portable consumer electronics such as smartphones and tablets to high-precision equipment in fields such as aerospace and medical devices, FPCs undertake critical electrical connection tasks and are an important foundation for realizing the miniaturization, lightweighting, and high integration of electronic devices.

[0003] In the manufacturing process of flexible circuit boards, surface mount technology (SMT) is a common process for achieving electrical connections between electronic components and flexible circuit boards. Soldering, as a core step, plays a decisive role in the quality and performance of the product.

[0004] For example, Chinese utility model patent application number 202220375576.6 discloses a welding device for processing flexible circuit boards. The device uses a motor to rotate a first rotating rod, which in turn rotates an exhaust fan to generate negative pressure. The heat generated during the welding process can be quickly dissipated through the second and first through holes, preventing damage to the circuit board due to high temperatures. Welding fumes can also enter the workbench through the second through hole, reducing the amount of fumes inhaled by workers. However, this device still has certain shortcomings.

[0005] After the flexible circuit board is soldered, if it is removed directly, the solder joints can be burned. If the solder joints are allowed to cool down before removal, the soldering efficiency will be greatly reduced.

[0006] Therefore, we propose a welding device for surface mounting of flexible circuit boards to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a welding device for surface mounting of flexible circuit boards, in order to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that if the flexible circuit board is removed directly after welding, it is easy to be burned by the solder joints during welding. If the solder joints are left to cool down before removal, the welding efficiency is greatly reduced.

The inspection door is located on the front surface of the first servo motor.

[0012] With the above structural design, the first servo motor is started, which drives the transmission shaft to rotate. The transmission shaft rotates 90° each time, so that the two welding stations are alternately positioned under the movable soldering pen. When the welding station is under the movable soldering pen, the movable soldering pen is operated to perform welding operations on the flexible circuit board. The heat dissipation holes on the inspection door are used for heat dissipation of the first servo motor.

[0013] Preferably, multiple positioning holes are equidistantly arranged, and the slider assembly is slidably connected to the slide groove.

[0019] Preferably, the movable block is slidably connected to the guide rod, and the connecting shaft is fixedly connected to the turntable.

[0020] With the above structural design, the movable block can move left and right along the guide rod when subjected to force, making the movable block more stable when moving left and right and preventing deviation.

[0021] Preferably, the movable rod engages with the rectangular slot on the movable block, and the movable rod is located at a non-center position on the turntable.

[0022] Using the above structural design, the second servo motor is activated, driving the connecting shaft to rotate, and the turntable at the lower end of the connecting shaft rotates accordingly.
