Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hot air brush technology, and in particular to a hot air brush for removing solder balls from PCB boards. Background Technology
[0002] PCB, or printed circuit board, is one of the most important components in the electronics industry. Almost every electronic device, from small electronic watches and calculators to large computers, communication electronic devices, and military weapon systems, uses PCBs to make electrical connections between various electronic components such as integrated circuits. When designing circuits on the surface of the PCB, solder bars are needed to solder the connection points.
[0003] After the PCB board is produced, it needs to be tested. If it fails the test or cannot be used due to circuit problems, it needs to be reworked. At this time, a hot air brush is needed to remove the solder balls. The hot air and the rotation of the brush melt the solder balls on the surface of the circuit board and then brush them off, so as to facilitate subsequent re-production.
[0004] When hot air brushes remove solder balls, the molten solder balls adhere to the brush surface, thus removing the solder balls from the PCB board surface. The removed solder balls remain on the brush surface, requiring regular cleaning and replacement of the brush. However, the existing hot air brushes have the brush part fixed to the top of the chassis, requiring the entire top of the chassis to be disassembled for replacement, which is quite troublesome.

[0028] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.
[0029] Example 1
[0030] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 This is the first embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment provides a hot air brush for removing solder balls from a PCB board, including a chassis 1. A brush 5 is provided on the top of the chassis 1, and a fixing component 4 is provided on the bottom of the brush 5. A rotating shaft 7 is inserted inside the chassis 1. Two heating components 2 are inserted inside the chassis 1. The fixing component 4 includes a connecting seat 402 movably connected to the top of the chassis 1. The lower surface of the connecting seat 402 is fixedly connected to the top of the rotating shaft 7. A connecting plate 401 is slidably connected to the upper surface of the connecting seat 402. The upper surface of the connecting plate 401 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the brush 5. A plurality of second pins 409 are inserted inside the connecting seat 402. A connecting plate 407 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the second pins 409. A spring 408 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the connecting plate 407. The top of the spring 408 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting seat 402. The upper surface of the connecting plate 401 has a socket that cooperates with the second pins 409.
[0031] Specifically, a geared motor 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the inner cavity of the chassis 1. The output end of the geared motor 3 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the rotating shaft 7. A partition 6 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the chassis 1. A fan is provided on the upper surface of the partition 6. A ventilation hole is provided on the back of the chassis 1. A barrier 405 is slidably connected to the upper surface of the connecting seat 402. The radius of the barrier 405 is the same as the radius of the connecting plate 401. Notches are provided at both ends of the barrier 405 to facilitate the insertion of the connecting plate 401. The bottom end of the second pin (409) is rounded. Two first pins 403 are inserted through the outer surface of the connecting seat 402. A magnet 406 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the first pins 403. A round hole that mates with the first pins 403 is provided on the outer surface of the barrier 405. Three limiting strips 404 are provided on the upper surface of the connecting seat 402. The connecting plate 401 slides on the outer surface of the limiting strips 404.
[0032] Furthermore, after the connecting plate 407 is inserted into the connecting seat 402 via the limiting strip 404 on the upper surface of the connecting seat 402, as the connecting plate 407 slides on the surface of the limiting strip 404, the rounded corner at the bottom of the second pin 409 causes the second pin 409 to lift upwards. The second pin 409 drives the connecting plate 407 to compress the spring 408, thereby causing the second pin 409 to retract into the connecting seat 402, allowing the connecting plate 401 to pass through. Under the action of the spring 408, the second pin 409 is inserted into the insertion hole on the upper surface of the connecting plate 407, thereby achieving a fixed connection. The connecting plate 407 is connected, and then the enclosure 405 is rotated to the outside to fix the outside of the connecting plate 407. After the enclosure 405 is rotated to the outside, the first pin 403 is inserted into the insertion hole on the outer surface of the connecting seat 402, so that the first pin 403 cooperates with the round hole on the outer surface of the enclosure 405. The material of the connecting seat 402 can attract the magnet 406. Through the cooperation between the magnet 406 on the outer surface of the first pin 403 and the connecting seat 402, the enclosure 405 is fixed. Then, the geared motor 3 drives the rotating shaft 7 to rotate, thereby driving the connecting seat 402 to rotate, realizing the rotation of the brush 5.
[0033] Example 2
[0034] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 This is the second embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment is based on the previous embodiment. The heating component 2 includes a connecting frame 201 that is slidably connected inside the casing 1. A plurality of plug-in blocks 206 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the connecting frame 201. A connecting block 208 is movably connected to the outer surface of the plug-in block 206. A heating element 205 is fixedly connected to the side of the connecting block 208 away from the plug-in block 206.
[0035] Specifically, the outer surface of the chassis 1 has a rectangular through hole for the sliding of the heating component 2, the outer surface of the connecting frame 201 has a sliding groove 202, the inner wall of the chassis 1 is fixedly connected to a slide rail that mates with the sliding groove 202, the rotating shaft 7 passes through the inside of the slide rail, the plug block 206 is provided with a slot 207 that mates with the connecting block 208 on the side near the connecting block 208, and two connecting rods 203 are fixedly connected to the outer surface of the connecting frame 201, and a pull rod 204 is fixedly connected to the end of the two connecting rods 203 away from the connecting frame 201.
[0036] Furthermore, by pulling the lever 204, the connecting rod 203 is driven to pull the connecting frame 201 out of the housing 1. The housing 1 is equipped with a slide rail, and the outer surface of the connecting rod 203 is provided with a groove 202, which finally allows the connecting rod 203 to be pulled out. After pulling it out, the damaged heating element 205 can be replaced. The new heating element 205 is inserted into the slot 207 on the outer surface of the plug block 206, thereby completing the replacement of the heating element 205. After the replacement is completed, the connecting frame 201 is inserted back into the housing 1. A fan is provided on the upper surface of the baffle, and ventilation holes are provided on the back of the housing 1. The connection relationship, working principle, and workflow between the heating element 205 and other components are existing technologies and are common knowledge that should be possessed by those skilled in the art, and will not be elaborated on here.
[0037] Working principle: When using a hot air brush to remove solder balls from the PCB board, a new brush 5 is inserted into the connector 402 via the connecting plate 401. The connecting plate 401 is limited by the limiting strip 404. As the connecting plate 401 slides on the surface of the limiting strip 404, the rounded corner at the bottom of the second pin 409 causes the second pin 409 to lift upwards. The second pin 409 drives the connecting plate 407 to compress the spring 408, thereby causing the second pin 409 to retract into the connector 402, allowing the connecting plate 401 to pass through. After the connecting plate 401 slides to the position where the round hole on the outer surface of the connecting plate 401 mates with the bottom end of the second pin 409, the connecting plate 407 is pressed by the spring 408, thereby driving the second pin 409 to insert into the insertion hole on the upper surface of the connecting plate 401, thus fixing the connecting plate 401. Then, the enclosure 405 is rotated to the outside, thereby fixing the outside of the connecting plate 401. After the enclosure 405 is rotated to the outside, the first pin 403 is inserted into the insertion hole on the outer surface of the connecting seat 402, and then the second pin 409 is inserted into the insertion hole on the outer surface of the connecting seat 402. The magnet 406 on the outer surface of the pin 403 cooperates with the connecting seat 402 to fix the guardrail 405, thereby completing the replacement and installation of the brush 5. Then, pull the lever 204, which, through the action of the connecting rod 203, causes the connecting frame 201 to slide out through the inside of the housing 1, allowing the damaged heating element 205 to be removed. Then, the new heating element 205 is inserted into the slot 207 on the outer surface of the plug block 206, thus completing the replacement of the heating element 205. After the replacement is completed, the connecting frame 201 is inserted back into the housing 1, and the guardrail 405 is fixed in place. A fan mounted on the upper surface of the board blows heated air, heated by the heating element 205, to the top brush 5. The fan then drives the rotating shaft 7 to rotate via the geared motor 3, which in turn drives the connecting seat 402 to rotate. When the connecting seat 402 rotates, it drives the limiting strip 404 to rotate, which in turn drives the connecting plate 401 to rotate. This causes the brush 5 to rotate along with the connecting plate 401. The PCB board with solder balls to be removed is held and placed on the rotating brush 5. The solder balls, melted by the hot air, are then removed by the brush 5, thus completing the solder ball removal process on the PCB board.
