Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of reflow soldering process, and in particular to a dual-channel reflow soldering cooling mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Reflow soldering is a surface mount soldering technology widely used in the electronics manufacturing industry. Its core lies in melting and reflowing pre-coated solder paste through precise temperature control, thereby achieving mechanical and electrical connections between electronic components and printed circuit board pads.

[0003] Dual-channel reflow soldering, also known as dual-track reflow soldering, is a soldering process based on traditional reflow soldering technology. Its core lies in the use of a dual-track structure design, which allows two printed circuit boards to be processed in parallel at the same time, thereby significantly improving production efficiency.

[0004] Based on this, Chinese patent document CN112291946B discloses a dual-channel chip mount production line, which includes two parallel printers and a dual-track reflow soldering machine. Each printer has a chip mounter located on one side of its output, between the printer and the reflow soldering machine. A first connector for transferring circuit boards is provided between adjacent printers and chip mounters. The reflow soldering machine is close to one of the chip mounters, and a second connector is provided between the chip mounter and the reflow soldering machine, docking at the first track of the reflow soldering machine. A third connector is provided on the output side of the other chip mounter, and a transfer device is provided between the third connector and the reflow soldering machine to transfer the circuit board to the second track of the reflow soldering machine. In this technical solution, the transfer device eliminates the need for a reflow soldering machine on the other production line, thereby reducing operating costs when both production lines are operating simultaneously and minimizing space occupation.

[0005] However, existing dual-channel surface mount production lines still face the technical challenge of difficult cooling zone layout. Specifically, in existing dual-channel surface mount production lines, the reflow soldering cooling mechanism is a module used to rapidly cool the solder joints. It is located in the final stage of the reflow soldering process, specifically in the cooling zone. Its core function is to control the cooling rate to ensure the molten solder paste forms a uniform and dense microstructure during solidification, thereby guaranteeing the mechanical strength and electrical reliability of the solder joints. This mechanism typically consists of a radiator, cooling fan, water-cooled circulation system, or nitrogen-assisted cooling device. Depending on the equipment type, the cooling method can be divided into two modes: air cooling (forced convection) and water cooling (liquid circulation). During the cooling stage of reflow soldering, the solder paste rapidly solidifies from a liquid state to a solid state. The cooling rate directly affects the fineness of the solder joint crystallization and the distribution of intermetallic compounds. A faster cooling rate, typically controlled at 2°C to 5°C per minute, can refine the solder joint microstructure, improve mechanical properties, and enhance fatigue resistance. In current dual-channel reflow soldering production lines, the cooling mechanism needs to be customized for the length of the production line, and each reflow oven needs to be customized separately, resulting in high operating costs and difficult installation.

[0028] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 4 The present invention relates to a dual-channel reflow soldering cooling mechanism, comprising: a support frame 1, a heat exchanger structure 2, a heat absorption circulation structure 3, a fan structure 4, and a module connection structure 5; the heat exchanger structure 2 is disposed within the support frame 1, and two heat absorption circulation structures 3 are disposed opposite each other on the two sides of the support frame 1; two fan structures 4 are disposed side by side above the heat exchanger structure 2; each heat absorption circulation structure 3 has a module connection structure 5 disposed on its side, and each module connection structure 5 is provided with a guide connecting pin 501, a pre-positioning hole 502, and a locking block 503; a plurality of guide connecting pins 501 are evenly arranged at intervals on the side of one heat absorption circulation structure 3, and a plurality of pre-positioning holes 502 are evenly arranged on the side of another heat absorption circulation structure 3, with one guide connecting pin 501 corresponding to one pre-positioning hole 502; two locking blocks 503 are respectively disposed on the side of the two heat absorption circulation structures 3, and the two locking blocks 503 are respectively disposed opposite each other at the two ends of the diagonal of the two heat absorption circulation structures 3.

[0029] Specifically, this utility model proposes a modular design cooling mechanism for dual-channel reflow soldering equipment. The support frame 1 can be placed on top of the external reflow soldering equipment so that the cooling radiator structure 2 faces the circuit board's transport channel, absorbing the heat emitted by the circuit board. Subsequently, the fan structure 4, under external control, starts and draws airflow through the cooling radiator structure 2 for heat diffusion and transfer via air cooling. Simultaneously, the heat-absorbing circulation legs 3 on both sides of the cooling radiator structure 2 also absorb heat, accelerating heat diffusion. Specifically, the inner cavity of the heat-absorbing circulation structure 3 can be filled with a heat-absorbing working fluid, such as cold water or coolant, to absorb and remove heat. In addition, to ensure uniform heat dissipation throughout the channel, when one cooling radiator structure 2 is insufficient to cover the entire channel, another cooling mechanism can be connected in series on the side of the support frame 1. In this case, the guide connecting pin 501 can be used to pre-align and position the two adjacent support frames 1. At this time, one guide connecting pin 501 can be matched and connected to the pre-positioning hole 502 provided on the side of the other support frame 1. After the two adjacent support frames 1 are paired and positioned, they can be securely connected by the locking block 503. Therefore, the dual-channel reflow soldering cooling mechanism of this invention allows for convenient and rapid interconnection between two adjacent support frames 1 through its modular design. This enables rapid and uniform heat dissipation from the circuit board during the reflow soldering process. Furthermore, to facilitate the application of the dual-channel structure, this invention also proposes a technical solution using a parallel dual-fan structure 4 and a heat-absorbing circulation structure 3 on both sides of the heat-absorbing structure 2, thereby achieving even better heat dissipation. Thus, this invention solves the technical problem of improving the ease of installation of the cooling structure.

[0030] Furthermore, the cold radiator structure 2 includes a support body 201, a handle structure 202, and several fins 203. Each end of the support body 201 has a handle structure 202, and the several fins 203 are evenly arranged and spaced apart within the support body 201. The support frame 1 is connected to the support body 201. Specifically, the handle structure 202 facilitates the installation, disassembly, and maintenance of the dual-channel reflow soldering cooling mechanism by operators. The handle structure 202 can be connected to the support body 201 using fasteners such as screws and bolts, or by welding.

[0031] Furthermore, each of the heat absorption circulation structures 3 includes a working fluid flow cavity 301, a protective connecting frame 302, a connecting pad 303, and a connecting port 304. The working fluid flow cavity 301 is disposed on the side of the support body 201 and within the protective connecting frame 302. The connecting pad 303 is disposed on the upper part of the protective connecting frame 302, and the connecting pad 303 connects the support frame 1 and the protective connecting frame 302 respectively. The module connecting structure 5 is disposed on the side of the protective connecting frame 302. Each end of the working fluid flow cavity 301 has a connecting port 304, and each connecting port 304 is disposed on the end side of the protective connecting frame 302. Specifically, external working fluid can enter the working fluid flow cavity 301 through one connecting port 304 and then flow back to the external working fluid storage tank or chamber through the other connecting port 304. The working fluid flowing in the working fluid cavity 301 can quickly carry away the heat absorbed by the fins 203 from both sides of the support body 201. The protective connecting frame 302 serves two purposes: first, it protects the working fluid cavity 301 from impacts that could cause leakage; second, it provides connection space so that external structural components can be connected to the side of the protective connecting frame 302 via threads or other means. Similarly, the connecting pad 303 is located on the upper part of the protective connecting frame 302, thereby facilitating the connection of the support frame 1 to the protective connecting frame 302 via screws or other fasteners, while preventing screws or other fasteners from damaging the structure of the working fluid cavity 301.

[0032] Furthermore, each of the aforementioned fan structures 4 includes a perforated protective cover 401, connecting pins 402, a drive motor 403, and a rotor blade 404. The perforated protective cover 401 is connected to the support frame 1, and several connecting pins 402 are evenly distributed around the periphery of the perforated protective cover 401. Each connecting pin 401 connects the perforated protective cover 401 to the support frame 1. The drive motor 403 is connected within the perforated protective cover 401, and the rotor blade 404 is movably disposed within the perforated protective cover 401, positioned above the fins 203. The drive motor 403 is drively connected to the rotor blade 404. Specifically, when the drive motor 403 is powered on and started, it can drive the rotor blade 404 to rotate above the fins 203, thereby guiding air through the gaps between the fins 203 to carry away the heat absorbed by the fins 203. When the blade rotates within the perforated protective cover 401, the perforated protective cover 401 allows air to pass through, preventing users' fingers or other objects from passing through and causing workplace injuries or other accidents. The several connecting pins 402 provided at the bottom of the perforated protective cover 401 can be fastened to the support frame 1 using screws or other fasteners.

[0033] In summary, the dual-channel reflow soldering cooling mechanism of this utility model is provided with a support frame 1, a cold air radiator structure 2, a heat absorption circulation structure 3, a fan structure 4, and a module connection structure 5. The cold air radiator structure 2 is disposed within the support frame 1, and the two heat absorption circulation structures 3 are disposed opposite each other on the two sides of the support frame 1. The two fan structures 4 are disposed side by side above the cold air radiator structure 2. Each side of the heat absorption circulation structure 3 is provided with a module connection structure 5, and each module connection structure 5 is provided with a guide connecting pin 50. 1. A pre-positioning hole 502 and a locking block 503, a plurality of guide connecting pins 501 are evenly arranged at intervals on the side of one heat absorption circulation structure 3, a plurality of pre-positioning holes 502 are evenly arranged on the side of another heat absorption circulation structure 3, and a guide connecting pin 501 is paired with a pre-positioning hole 502; two locking blocks 503 are respectively disposed on the side of the two heat absorption circulation structures 3, and the two locking blocks 503 are respectively disposed opposite to each other at the two ends of the diagonal of the two heat absorption circulation structures 3. This utility model's dual-channel reflow soldering cooling mechanism allows for convenient and rapid interconnection between two adjacent support frames 1 through a modular design. This enables extended, rapid, and uniform heat dissipation from the circuit board during the reflow soldering process. Furthermore, to facilitate the application of the dual-channel structure, this utility model also proposes a cooling radiator structure 2 using a parallel dual-fan structure 4, with additional heat absorption circulation structures 3 on both sides of the cooling radiator structure 2, thereby achieving even better heat dissipation. Therefore, this utility model's dual-channel reflow soldering cooling mechanism solves the technical problem of improving the ease of installation of the cooling structure.

[0034] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0035] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
