Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing equipment technology, and in particular to a solder paste printing testing device. Background Technology

[0002] As components are assembled on circuit boards, their density increases and solder joints become smaller. During the circuit board manufacturing process, solder paste is usually printed. However, it is an indisputable fact that the solder paste printing process produces many defects. Some reports even indicate that these defects account for 80% of the total number of defects. Another well-known fact is that the amount of solder paste is an important indicator for judging the quality and reliability of solder joints.

[0003] A search revealed a Chinese patent disclosure for a solder paste thickness testing device (authorization announcement number CN202255299U), comprising a base, a support plate, and a fixture for the object to be tested. A first linear guide rail is mounted on the base, and a second linear guide rail spans above the first linear guide rail. The support plate is mounted on the first linear guide rail, and the fixture for the object to be tested is mounted on the support plate. The solder paste thickness testing device also includes a first driving mechanism, an image acquisition mechanism, and a second driving mechanism. The first driving mechanism is connected to the support plate and drives the support plate to reciprocate along the first linear guide rail. The image acquisition mechanism is mounted on the second linear guide rail and reciprocates along the second linear guide rail under the drive of the second driving mechanism. The image acquisition mechanism includes an industrial camera, a laser, and a third driving mechanism that drives the industrial camera and laser to move vertically up and down. This patented technology has the advantages of automated and comprehensive testing of solder paste printing quality, improved production efficiency, and reduced costs.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned device still has some drawbacks in actual use. The most obvious one is that when the industrial camera moves, it only detects the height of a certain point on the solder paste on the product. When the height of the solder paste fluctuates, it is easy to cause inaccurate detection. In addition, the product generally needs to be printed on both sides. After the solder paste on one side of the product is tested, the product needs to be flipped over to test the other side. The process is cumbersome and reduces the efficiency of detecting printed solder paste. Utility Model Content

[0031] Reference Figure 1-4 A solder paste printing test device includes a frame 1, with a circular frame 7 inside the frame 1. Two semi-toothed rings 11 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circular frame 7. Two servo motors a12 are arranged on one side of the circular frame 7, and gears 8 are fixedly connected to the output shafts of each servo motor a12. Each gear 8 meshes with a corresponding semi-toothed ring 11. A support plate 17 is fixedly connected to the side of the servo motor a12 away from the gears 8. Industrial cameras 18 are fixedly mounted on the inner wall of the support plate 17. A limit component is arranged inside the circular frame 7, and a moving component is arranged inside the frame 1. This device is used for testing products... When testing the printed solder paste, the rotation of the output shaft of the servo motor a12 drives the gear 8 to rotate, causing the gear 8 to roll on the corresponding semi-gear ring 11. Under the action of the limiting component, the servo motor a12 and the industrial camera 18 above it can perform semi-circular motion. The industrial camera 18 can be used to perform multi-point detection of solder paste at different positions on the PCB board, improving the detection efficiency and accuracy of solder paste. Moreover, there are two industrial cameras 18, which can detect double-sided solder paste on the PCB board without stopping and flipping it in the middle, thus improving the detection efficiency.

[0032] Specifically, the moving assembly includes four brackets 4 fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner wall of the frame 1. A screw 9 is rotatably connected between two brackets 4. The rotation of the screw 9 moves the threaded seat 10, adjusting the detection position of the circular frame 7 and the industrial camera 18 for better detection of the solder paste on the PCB board. A fixing rod 5 is fixedly connected between the other two brackets 4. The moving assembly also includes a threaded seat 10 threaded to the outside of the screw 9. Through the cooperation of the slide 6 and the fixing rod 5, the circular frame 7 is made relatively stable during adjustment, and its movement is controlled. Playing an important limiting role, the outer side of the fixed rod 5 is slidably connected to the slide block 6. The threaded seat 10 and the slide block 6 are respectively fixedly connected to the two sides of the circular frame 7. The limiting component includes a limiting groove 13 opened inside the circular frame 7 and located on one side of the semi-tooth ring 11. A limiting ball 15 is slidably installed inside the limiting groove 13. Through the cooperation of the limiting groove 13, the L-shaped plate 14 and the limiting ball 15, the servo motor a12 can be provided with high stability to ensure the stable operation of the test structure. The outer side of the servo motor a12 is fixedly connected to the L-shaped plate 14, and one end of the L-shaped plate 14 is fixedly connected to the corresponding limiting ball 15.

[0033] Specifically, each end of the frame 1 is equipped with a clamping frame 3, which can clamp and fix the PCB board. The PCB board is clamped between the two clamping frames 3. A servo motor b16 is fixedly installed on the outside of one of the brackets 4. The output shaft of the servo motor b16 passes through the bracket 4 and is fixedly connected to the screw 9. The rotation of the output shaft of the servo motor b16 can provide power to the screw 9. Cylinders 2 are fixedly installed on both sides of the frame 1. The piston rods of the cylinders 2 extend into the inside of the frame 1 and are fixedly connected to the corresponding clamping frame 3. The clamping position of the clamping frame 3 can be adjusted by the extension and retraction of the piston rods of the cylinders 2. A controller is externally connected to the outside of the frame 1. The cylinders 2, servo motors a12, b16 and industrial camera 18 are all electrically connected to the controller. The controller can control the cylinders 2, servo motors a12, b16 and industrial camera 18 to start and stop.

[0034] Working Principle: First, when testing the solder paste printed on the product, the operator places the PCB board between two clamping frames 3 and controls the cylinder 2 to start, thus clamping and fixing the clamping frames 3. Then, the servo motor b16 is started, and the rotation of the screw 9 drives the threaded seat 10 to move, adjusting the detection position of the circular frame 7 and the industrial camera 18 for better detection of the solder paste printed on the PCB board. Simultaneously, the servo motor a12 is started, and the rotation of the output shaft of the servo motor a12 drives... The moving gear 8 rotates, causing it to roll on the corresponding semi-tooth ring 11. Through the cooperation of the limiting groove 13, the L-shaped plate 14, and the limiting ball 15, the servo motor a12 can be provided with high stability to ensure the stable operation of the test structure. This allows the servo motor a12 and the industrial camera 18 above it to perform semi-circular motion. The industrial camera 18 can be used to perform multi-point detection of solder paste at different locations on the PCB board. Since there are two industrial cameras 18, double-sided solder paste on the PCB board can be detected without stopping and flipping the machine midway, thus improving detection efficiency.
