Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model relates to optical communication device manufacturing technical field, more specifically, the utility model relates to a COB device package repair fixture. BACKGROUND

[0002] Under the demand of data center and AI computing power, high-speed optical modules (such as 400G / 800G / 1.6T) adopt COB (chip on board) packaging process, which has become the industry mainstream, that is, various optoelectronic chips are attached to the PCBA board. This process realizes high-density integration by directly attaching optoelectronic chips, FAs and optical elements to the PCBA board. However, local failure problems caused by poor curing of glue, alignment deviation or foreign matter pollution frequently occur during the packaging process, and the traditional repair technology faces the following bottlenecks:

[0003] 1. Equipment limitation: The traditional pusher relies on fixed mechanical arms (such as the automatic repair system disclosed in CN20XX5678D), which has a large volume (occupies ≥1.5m 2 ) and high cost (single machine ≥50 million yuan), and cannot adapt to various types of narrow pitch precision repair; the existing tool lacks multi-dimensional freedom adjustment capability, and the adjacent chips or FAs are easily damaged during the repair process, resulting in a whole board scrap rate ≥15%.

[0004] 2. Poor process compatibility: High-speed optical modules need to integrate multiple types of elements (such as LENS, TX / RX FA, SIP packaged LD chip), the existing fixture only supports single element disassembly, and needs to frequently replace tools, which is low in efficiency; the peeling force control of the cured glue layer is not accurate (deviation ±2N), which easily leads to PCBA pad falling off or substrate warping.

[0005] 3. Imbalance between cost and efficiency: Material waste caused by repair failure accounts for 20%-30% of the total cost of optical modules, especially high-end chips (such as 25Gbps DFB laser) with a unit price exceeding 1,000 yuan, which urgently needs a low-cost repair solution; the traditional repair process takes ≥30 minutes per time, which seriously affects the production line operation rate.

[0006] The cost of optical modules mainly comes from chips and packaging. For 400G, 800G and even 1.6T products, multiple chips are needed to complete packaging, but the packaging time is long and once-packaging defects are difficult to eliminate. If the entire device is scrapped because of individual chip or FA packaging failure, it will cause a lot of material waste and increase in time cost. Therefore, packaging-level repair is of great significance, which can save a lot of material cost and a lot of packaging time, and provides great significance for improving the overall gross profit margin.

Detailed Implementation

[0051] The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can implement it based on the description.

[0052] It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the experimental methods described in the following embodiments are all conventional methods, and the reagents and materials described are all commercially available unless otherwise specified. In the description of this utility model, the terms "lateral", "longitudinal", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inner", and "outer" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings. They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0053] like Figures 1-2 As shown, an embodiment of this utility model provides a COB device packaging rework fixture, comprising:

[0054] Height adjustment mechanism 1;

[0055] A horizontal rotating platform 2 is connected to the height adjustment mechanism 1 via a transmission connection.

[0056] The clamping assembly 3 is used to fix the printed circuit board of the COB device 6, and the clamping assembly 3 is detachably connected to the horizontal rotating platform 2;

[0057] Horizontal position adjustment mechanism;

[0058] A pusher assembly is connected to the horizontal position adjustment mechanism, and the blade of the pusher assembly extends horizontally above the clamp assembly 3.

[0059] In this embodiment, the clamping assembly 3 and the pusher assembly can be configured in multiple sets, with different types and sizes of clamping assemblies 3 and pusher assemblies respectively set for various COB devices 6 such as FA, LENS, and SIP chips. When reworking components, the corresponding clamping assembly 3 and pusher assembly are first replaced according to the component to be reworked. The clamping assembly 3 and pusher assembly are then installed on the horizontal rotating platform 2 and the horizontal position adjustment mechanism, respectively. At this time, the blade of the pusher assembly extends horizontally above the clamping assembly 3.

[0060] The component to be repaired is mounted on the fixture assembly 3. The horizontal rotating platform 2 drives the fixture assembly 3 to rotate, adjusting the component to the optimal operating angle. Simultaneously, the height adjustment mechanism 1 adjusts the height of the component so that its upper surface is slightly lower than the cutting edge of the cutter head. Then, the horizontal position adjustment mechanism adjusts the position of the pusher assembly so that the cutter head is aligned with the edge of the target component. The height adjustment mechanism 1 is then finely adjusted so that the cutting edge of the cutter head lightly touches the surface of the component to be repaired. The horizontal position adjustment mechanism then drives the pusher assembly to move, and the cutter head moves parallel to the edge of the component to peel off the cured adhesive layer on the edge of the component. Once the component to be repaired is detached, the horizontal position adjustment mechanism stops immediately, and the failed component on the component to be repaired can be removed.

[0061] In this embodiment, the horizontal rotating platform 2 adopts an existing 360° manual rotating stage, and the height adjustment mechanism 1, the X-axis moving unit 42 and the Y-axis moving unit 41 adopt existing precision manual displacement stages, such as a micrometer manual moving platform. Through high-precision micrometer positioning, the position of the fixture assembly 3 and the pusher assembly can be accurately controlled, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the packaging rework fixture, improving the rework success rate of COB device 6 and reducing the damage rate of COB device 6.

[0065] The base plate 31 is connected to the horizontal rotating platform 2 via the connecting unit.

[0066] In this embodiment, the shape of the receiving groove 32 matches the printed circuit board of the component to be repaired. The printed circuit board is placed in the receiving groove 32 and is fixed in the receiving groove 32 by the elastic clamping unit, so that it can be stably fixed in the clamping assembly 3.

[0067] Preferably, in another embodiment of the present invention, the bottom wall of the receiving groove 32 is provided with at least two countersunk holes 33, and the upper end of the horizontal rotating platform 2 is provided with threaded holes that are equal in number and correspond one-to-one with the countersunk holes 33. The countersunk holes 33 are connected to the corresponding threaded holes and are fitted with positioning bolts, which constitute the connecting unit.

[0068] In this embodiment, in order to facilitate the quick connection between the base plate 31 and the horizontal rotating platform 2, the countersunk hole 33 on the bottom wall of the receiving groove 32 is connected to the corresponding threaded hole on the horizontal rotating platform 2. Then, the positioning bolt is installed. The positioning bolt passes through the countersunk hole 33 and is threaded into the threaded hole. Tighten the positioning bolt until its head abuts against the countersunk hole 33, and the base plate 31 and the horizontal rotating platform 2 can be connected. The head of the positioning bolt is located in the countersunk hole 33.

[0069] Preferably, in another embodiment of the present invention, the lower end of the base plate 31 is provided with a positioning block, and the upper end of the horizontal rotating platform 2 is provided with a positioning groove that matches the positioning block.

[0076] Spring 311 is sleeved on the connecting rod 39, and its two ends abut against the limiting ring 310 and the bottom wall of the blind hole, respectively.

[0077] In this embodiment, when no external force acts on the push block 38, the spring 311 is in a compressed state, applying force to the limiting ring 310 and the first clamping block 34. The limiting ring 310 is fixed on the positioning plate 36. At this time, the first clamping block 34 moves into the receiving groove 32 under the action of the spring 311, and drives the push rod 37 to move together until the push block 38 abuts against the positioning plate 36. At this time, the first clamping block 34 is in a stationary state. When the printed circuit board is placed in the receiving groove 32, the first clamping block 34 contacts one end of the printed circuit board, and the other end of the printed circuit board abuts against the inner wall of the receiving groove 32. At this time, the first clamping block 34 applies a force towards the receiving groove 32 to the printed circuit board, thereby forming a clamping position together with the inner wall of the receiving groove 32 to clamp the printed circuit board.

[0078] When it is necessary to remove the printed circuit board from the receiving slot 32, simply pull the push block 38 outward by hand, so that the push rod 37 slides away from the receiving slot 32, and drives the first clamping block 34 to slide outward together, so as to engage the clamping of the printed circuit board.

[0079] Preferably, as another embodiment of the present invention, the side wall of the receiving groove 32 is provided with a second notch opposite to the first notch 35, and the second notch is detachably provided with a second clamping block 312.

[0080] In this embodiment, a second clamping block 312 corresponding to the first clamping block 34 is provided on the side wall of the receiving groove 32, forming a clamping position between the two. In order to prevent the printed circuit board from sticking too tightly to the inner wall of the receiving groove 32 when it is removed from the receiving groove 32, the second clamping block 312 can be removed, and the printed circuit board can be quickly removed using the first notch 35 and the second notch.

[0081] Preferably, as another embodiment of the present invention, it further includes:

[0082] The height adjustment mechanism 1 and the horizontal position adjustment mechanism are arranged at intervals along the X direction on the base 7.

[0083] In this embodiment, the height adjustment mechanism 1 and the horizontal position adjustment mechanism are mounted on the base 7 to facilitate the movement of the COB device packaging rework fixture.

[0084] Preferably, in another embodiment of the present invention, the pusher assembly includes:

[0085] The tool holder 51 is connected to the horizontal position adjustment mechanism;

[0086] The pusher 52 has its end away from the cutter head detachably connected to the cutter holder 51.

[0087] In this embodiment, such asFigure 5 As shown, the pusher assembly further includes a quick connector 53. The upper end of the blade holder 51 is provided with a corresponding quick-connect hole, and the pusher 52 is provided with a positioning hole for the quick connector 53 to pass through. The upper end of the blade holder 51 is also provided with two grooves, and the lower end of the pusher 52 is provided with two protrusions 54 corresponding to the two grooves respectively. The two protrusions 54 are respectively embedded in the two grooves to achieve quick positioning of the blade holder 51 and the pusher 52. Then, the quick connector 53 is passed through the positioning hole and inserted into the quick-connect hole. After the quick connector 53 is connected to the quick-connect hole, the lower end of the quick connector 53 presses against the blade holder 51, thereby fixing the pusher 52 on the blade holder 51.
