[0020] The technical solution provided by this utility model has the following advantages:

[0021] 1. The circuit board reflow soldering structure provided by this utility model includes: a circuit board body, a first material, and a second material; the circuit board body is provided with a plurality of first through holes and second through holes; the circuit board body includes a first plane and a second plane, the first plane is coated with a first solder layer near the first through hole, and the first plane is pre-plated with a second solder layer near the second through hole; the second plane is coated with a third solder layer near the second through hole; the pins of the first material pass through the first solder layer and are inserted into the first through hole; the pins of the second material pass through the third solder layer and are inserted into the second through hole, and the pins of the second material are also adapted to be connected to the second solder layer; wherein, the first solder layer, the second solder layer, and the third solder layer can be heated and melted and then cooled to install the first material and the second material on the circuit board body.

[0022] This solution uses a double-sided through-hole reflow method in SMT (Surface Mount Technology) to mount the first and second materials onto the circuit board body, replacing and eliminating subsequent processes such as spot soldering, wave soldering, selective soldering, and manual touch-up soldering. This saves on subsequent soldering costs, improves production efficiency, reduces uncontrollable risks to PCBA quality, and improves product quality.

[0023] 2. A first tin-coating hole is formed on the stencil corresponding to the first through-hole on the first plane. The ratio of the cross-sectional area of ​​the first through-hole (with its radial horizontal direction as the cross-section line) to the cross-sectional area of ​​the first tin-coating hole (with its radial horizontal direction as the cross-section line) is 1:3. This ratio can also be adjusted according to actual conditions. Several first tin-coating holes correspond to several first through-holes, covering the stencil on the first plane. A first solder layer, which is solder paste, is applied to the first through-holes using the first tin-coating holes. The first solder layer also covers part of the first plane around the first through-hole. The thickness of the solder paste is 0.12-0.20mm. With the above setup, when the first material is mounted on the circuit board body, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the pins of the first material pass through the first solder layer from top to bottom and are inserted into the first through hole, ensuring that the pins are soldered at least 75% after reflow.

[0024] 3. A second solder layer, which is a pre-plated tin layer, is pre-plated on the first plane near the second through-hole. The second solder layer is annular in shape and coaxially pre-plated on the second plane around the second through-hole. The outer diameter of the second solder layer is the same as that of the first solder layer, and its thickness is not limited. The inner diameter of the inner hole of the second solder layer is smaller than that of the second through-hole, so that the inner side of the second solder layer extends into the second through-hole and contacts the inner wall of the second through-hole. Specifically, the difference between the inner diameter of the second solder layer and the inner diameter of the second through-hole is 0.05mm, ensuring that a certain thickness does not affect the smooth passage of the pins on the second material. This effectively avoids the phenomenon of insufficient soldering of the pins after the first material is inserted due to the solder paste being carried away by the pins. Attached Figure Description

[0038] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this utility model described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0039] Example 1

[0040] This embodiment provides a circuit board reflow soldering structure, such as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the circuit board body 1, the first material 31, and the second material 32 are included. The circuit board body 1 includes a first plane 15 and a second plane 16.

[0041] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the circuit board has several through holes extending vertically where materials need to be inserted. A first through-hole pad 11 is nested within at least a portion of the through holes where the first material 31 needs to be installed. The first through-hole pad 11 is spool-shaped, meaning it is a hollow rod in the middle. The outer diameter of the hollow rod is equal to the inner diameter of the corresponding through hole. Larger diameter abutment rings are also provided on the outer edges of the upper and lower sides. The inner sides of the abutment rings are fixed to the hollow rod. The thickness between the two abutment rings is the same as the thickness of the circuit board body 1. When the first through-hole pad 11 is embedded in the corresponding through hole, the hollow... The outer wall of the rod is fitted to the inner wall of the through hole. The two end abutment rings near the hollow rod abut against the first plane 15 and the second plane 16 on the periphery of the through hole to fix the first through hole pad 11 in the corresponding through hole. The hollow channel in the middle of the hollow rod is the first through hole 12. The hollow rod, the first through hole 12 and the corresponding through holes are coaxially arranged. When the first material 31 is inserted, it can be accurately positioned to prevent radial deviation, which would cause the pin of the first material 31 to interfere with other components and prevent subsequent mechanical positioning failure. Similarly, at least a portion of the through-holes where the second material 32 needs to be installed contains a second through-hole pad 13. The second through-hole pad 13 is spool-shaped, meaning it is a hollow rod in the middle. The outer diameter of the hollow rod is equal to the inner diameter of the corresponding through-hole. Larger diameter abutment rings are provided on the outer edges of the upper and lower sides. The inner sides of the abutment rings are fixed to the hollow rod. The thickness of the two abutment rings is the same as the thickness of the circuit board body 1. When the second through-hole pad 13 is embedded in the corresponding through-hole, the outer wall of the hollow rod is fitted against the inner wall of the corresponding through-hole. Both ends of the abutting ring abut against the first plane 15 and the second plane 16 on the periphery of the through hole to fix the second through hole pad 13 in the corresponding through hole. The hollow channel in the middle of the hollow rod is the second through hole 14. Similarly, the hollow rod, the second through hole 14 and the corresponding through holes are coaxially arranged. When the second material 32 is inserted, it can be accurately positioned to prevent radial deviation, which would cause the pins of the second material 32 to interfere with other components and prevent subsequent mechanical positioning failure.

[0042] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a first tin-coating hole is formed on the stencil corresponding to the first through-hole 12 on the first plane 15. The ratio of the cross-sectional area of ​​the first through-hole 12 cut along its radial horizontal direction to the cross-sectional area of ​​the first tin-coating hole cut along its radial horizontal direction is 1:3. This ratio can also be adjusted according to actual conditions. Several first tin-coating holes correspond to several first through-holes 12, covering the stencil on the first plane 15. A first solder layer 21, which is solder paste, is applied to the first through-holes 12 using the first tin-coating holes. The first solder layer 21 also covers part of the first plane 15 around the first through-hole 12. The thickness of the solder paste is 0.12-0.20 mm. With the above configuration, when the first material 31 is mounted on the circuit board body 1, as... Figure 2 As shown, the pins of the first material 31 pass through the first solder layer 21 from top to bottom and are inserted into the first through hole 12 to ensure that the pins are soldered at least 75% after reflow.

[0043] The first plane 15 has a second solder layer 22 pre-plated near the second through hole 14. The second solder layer 22 is a pre-plated tin layer. The second solder layer 22 is generally annular and is pre-plated on the second plane 16 around the second through hole 14, coaxial with the second through hole 14. The outer diameter of the second solder layer 22 is the same as the outer diameter of the first solder layer 21, and the thickness is not limited. The inner diameter of the inner hole of the second solder layer 22 is smaller than the inner diameter of the second through hole 14, so that the inner side of the second solder layer 22 extends into the second through hole 14 and contacts the inner wall of the second through hole 14. Specifically, the difference between the inner diameter of the second solder layer 22 and the inner diameter of the second through hole 14 is 0.05mm, ensuring that the smooth passage of the pins on the second material 32 is not affected while maintaining a certain thickness.

[0044] like Figures 3 to 4 As shown, another stencil has a second tin-coating hole corresponding to the second through-hole 14. The ratio of the cross-sectional area of ​​the second through-hole 14 along its radial horizontal direction to the cross-sectional area of ​​the second tin-coating hole on the stencil along its radial horizontal direction is 1:3. This ratio can also be adjusted according to actual conditions. Several second tin-coating holes correspond to several second through-holes 14, covering the stencil onto the second plane 16. A second solder layer 22, also a solder paste, is applied to the second through-holes 14 using the second tin-coating holes. The second solder layer 22 also covers a portion of the second plane 16 around the second through-holes 14. The thickness of the second solder layer 22 is 0.12-0.20 mm. With the above settings, when the second material 32 is installed on the second plane 16, since the pins of the second material 32 are relatively long, when the pins of the second material 32 pass through the third solder layer 23 from top to bottom and are inserted into the first through hole 12, the tail end of the pins of the second material 32 can contact the inner wall of the second solder layer 22; ensuring the soldering area of ​​the pins on the second material 32 after reflow.

[0045] The specific soldering steps for the reflow soldering structure of the circuit board are as follows:

[0046] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the circuit board body 1 is laid flat on the workbench, with the first plane 15 being the BOT surface, facing upwards. A steel plate with first tin-coating holes corresponding to the first through holes 12 is laid on the BOT surface. The first tin-coating holes and the first through holes 12 are coaxially aligned and correspond one-to-one. A first solder layer 21 is applied into the first tin-coating holes, covering the end of the corresponding first through hole 12 near the first plane 15 and the portion of the first plane 15 covering the outer periphery of the first through hole 12. A high-temperature resistant first material 31 is selected, requiring at least 256°C. The first material 31 is in conventional tape and reel packaging. Mylar sheets can be used above the first material 31 with notches, or there is a flat area for the pick-and-place machine to feed the material. The pins of the first material 31 are inserted through the first solder layer 21 and into the first through hole 12. By using a shim or other means, it is ensured that after insertion, the pin ends of the first material 31 are at least 0.05 mm away from the outside of the circuit board body 1. That is, the distance between the extended surface of the pin end plane of the first material 31 and the extended surface of the first plane 15 is at least 0.05 mm, preferably equal to 0.05 mm. By setting a certain distance between the pin ends of the first material 31 and the outside of the circuit board body 1, the protruding pins are prevented from affecting the subsequent production process.

[0047] After completing the above steps, the circuit board with the first material 31 inserted is placed in the soldering furnace with the first plane 15 facing upwards and heated. The first solder layer 21 is melted and then covered on the inner wall of the first through hole 12 and the pins of the first material 31 to fix the first material 31 on the circuit board body 1.

[0048] Next, with the first plane 15 facing upwards, a second solder layer 22 is pre-plated on the first plane 15 on the outer periphery of the second through hole 14. It is necessary to ensure that the inner side of the second solder layer 22 is pre-plated onto the inner wall of the second through hole 14 to effectively prevent the solder paste from being carried away by the pins when inserting the first material 31, resulting in insufficient solder on the pins after the boiler. After the pre-plating is completed, the circuit board body 1 is flipped over so that the second plane 16 faces upwards. The second plane 16 is the TOP surface. A steel plate with second soldering holes corresponding to the second through hole 14 is laid on the TOP surface. The second soldering holes on the steel plate are coaxially arranged in a one-to-one correspondence with the second through hole 14. A third solder layer 23 is applied into the second soldering holes. The third solder layer 23 covers the end of the corresponding second through hole 14 near the second plane 16 and covers the part of the second plane 16 on the outer periphery of the second through hole 14. A second material 32 with a lead length of 3.0-3.5mm is selected. The leads of the second material 32 are passed through the third solder layer 23 and inserted into the second through hole 14. The ends of the leads of the second material 32 pass through the second through hole 14 and extend to the bottom of the circuit board body 1. The side of the leads of the second material 32 contacts the inner wall of the second solder layer 22. Subsequently, the circuit board body 1 with the second material 32 inserted is placed in a soldering oven for heating and soldering. After being heated, the second solder layer 22 and the third solder layer 23 melt and cover the inner wall of the second through hole 14 and the leads of the second material 32. After cooling, the second material 32 is fixed to the circuit board body 1. After reflow soldering, the lead protruding from the circuit board body 1 by no more than 1.5mm, and the installation is completed.

[0049] This solution replaces or eliminates subsequent processes such as spot soldering, wave soldering, selective soldering, and manual soldering by using double-sided through-hole reflow soldering, saving downstream soldering costs, improving production efficiency, reducing uncontrollable risks to PCBA quality, and improving product quality.

[0050] Before the second soldering process, a layer of red adhesive 4 needs to be sprayed between the first plane 15 and the first material 31. One end of the red adhesive layer 4 is connected to the first plane 15, and the other end is connected to the first material 31 to fix the position between the first material 31 and the circuit board body 1. This prevents the first material 31 from falling off due to the melting of the solder between the first material 31 and the first through hole 12 during the second soldering process.

[0051] Finally, the circuit board body 1, after the installation of the first material 31 and the second material 32, needs to be inspected and tested using AOI equipment. Compared to existing defect testing methods, this solution optimizes the existing manual and visual inspection into equipment-based inspection of soldering yield. Compared to manual visual inspection, this improves PCBA inspection efficiency and reduces the rate of defects caused by human error. After inspection, corresponding inspection records can be automatically generated, reducing the workload of personnel.

[0052] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely illustrative examples for clear explanation and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art will recognize that other variations or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations here. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
