Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic technology, and in particular to a device for spraying flux onto a stencil before printing. Background Technology
[0002] In the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) printing process, the stencil (also known as a stencil or SMT template) is a key tool, mainly used for precisely applying solder paste in Surface Mount Technology (SMT). Before applying solder paste, flux is usually applied, typically manually using a scraper or similar method. However, this process makes it difficult to precisely control the amount of flux applied, and the uniformity of the application is hard to control. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a flux spraying device that solves or partially solves the above-mentioned technical problems.

A nozzle for spraying flux upwards is installed in the spraying chamber, and an electric heating device is installed in the drying chamber. The nozzle is connected to an electric pump. A first opening and a second opening are provided on the upper surface of the box corresponding to the spraying chamber and the drying chamber. A square-shaped carrier for clamping a steel mesh is movably mounted on the box. A driving mechanism is provided on the box to drive the carrier to move between the first opening and the second opening.
[0006] Preferably, the box body is provided with a U-shaped tray, the tray is provided with a fog-proof strip below it, a horizontal groove is provided on each side of the box body, a side plate is provided on each side of the tray, a number of rollers are provided on the side plate, the rollers are movably disposed in the groove, and the carrier is locked in the tray.
[0007] Preferably, the driving mechanism includes a drive motor and a rotating shaft respectively disposed at one end of the housing. A synchronous pulley is disposed at each end of the rotating shaft, and two synchronous pulleys are disposed at the other end of the housing. A synchronous belt is sleeved on the two synchronous pulleys on the same side. The drive motor drives one of the synchronous belts to rotate, and the tray is connected to the two synchronous belts.
[0008] Preferably, the carrier is provided with two handles, and one end of the housing is provided with at least one photoelectric sensor for detecting the handles.
[0009] Preferably, the box is vertically provided with a partition to separate the spraying room and the drying room.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this invention are: by using an electronic pump that operates with a time delay, flux is periodically sprayed upwards, and a fixed amount of flux is sprayed onto the stencil. Then, the stencil is sent to the drying room for drying by a drive mechanism, which realizes semi-automatic operation, reduces problems such as unevenness and inconsistent quantity caused by manual scraping, and improves the quality and efficiency of flux coating.

[0018] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0019] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that the terms "inner", "outer", "upper", "lower", "horizontal", etc., 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.
[0020] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the flux spraying equipment of this utility model includes a rectangular box 10. A vertical partition (not shown) can be installed inside the box 10 to separate a spraying room 12 and a drying room 14. An equipment room (not labeled) is provided at the bottom of the box 10.
[0021] A spray nozzle 16 for spraying flux upwards is installed in the spraying chamber 12, and an electric heating device (not shown) is installed in the drying chamber 14; the spray nozzle 16 is connected to an electric pump (not shown). A first opening (not shown) and a second opening 18 are provided on the upper surface of the housing 10 corresponding to the spraying chamber 12 and the drying chamber 14. A square-shaped carrier 20 for clamping steel mesh is movably mounted on the housing 10. A drive mechanism is provided on the housing 10 to move the carrier 20 between the first opening and the second opening 18.
[0022] Furthermore, a U-shaped tray 22 is provided on the housing 10, and a foam-proof strip 42 made of sponge is provided below the tray 22. A horizontal sliding groove 24 is provided on each side of the housing 10, and a side plate 26 is provided on each side of the tray 22. Several rollers 28 are provided on the side plate 26, and the rollers 28 are movably disposed within the sliding groove 24. The carrier 20 is secured within the tray 22. The drive mechanism includes a drive motor 30 and a rotating shaft 32 located at one end of the housing 10. A synchronous pulley 34 is provided at each end of the rotating shaft 32, and two synchronous pulleys 34 are correspondingly provided on the housing 10. A synchronous belt 36 is fitted onto the two synchronous pulleys 34 on the same side. The drive motor 30 drives one of the synchronous belts 36 to rotate, and the tray 22 is connected to the two synchronous belts 36. Two handles 38 are provided on the carrier 20, and two photoelectric sensors 40 for detecting the handles 38 are provided at one end of the housing 10.
[0023] Furthermore, the electronic pump is a time-delay pump with adjustable operating time (not shown).
[0024] Furthermore, the pipes connecting the nozzle 16 and the delay pump are installed in the equipment room.
[0025] Furthermore, a sponge pad (not shown) is replaceably provided at the bottom of the spray booth 12 to absorb excess flux.
[0026] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: A steel mesh is set on the carrier 20 and then manually placed on the tray 22. The steel mesh is positioned directly above the nozzle through the first opening. The delay pump is manually activated, and liquid flux is sprayed upward through the nozzle onto the steel mesh via a pipeline. The delay pump, such as a delay relay-controlled pump, is a pump that can control the working time. By controlling the spraying time, the amount of flux sprayed can be precisely controlled. Flux that falls during spraying is absorbed by a sponge pad, and the cleaning work can be completed by periodically replacing the sponge pad. After spraying is completed, the drive mechanism transfers the tray 22 to the drying chamber 14. Through a certain drying time, the flux solidifies faster, making it convenient for subsequent use. The drying chamber 14 can be continuously filled with nitrogen to prevent flux oxidation.
