Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of PCA assembly technology, and in particular to a multi-material assembly fixture for PCBs. Background Technology

[0002] The PCA assembly process uses several materials, including: heat sink base, transistor electronic components, heat sink, assembly screws, sleeves, and retaining plates.

[0003] Materials must be assembled in a sequential, step-by-step manner, with relative positions between them. Each assembly step must ensure that it does not affect the next step, until the final assembly is completed. Different part numbers of transistors are distinguished by different colors, centered on the PCB mounting holes, to reduce the risk of transistor mixing during component insertion. The current main assembly process is: heatsink base --- transistor --- heatsink --- sleeve --- fixing bracket, thus enabling the installation of various components on the PCB.

[0004] However, current assembly processes still have many shortcomings:

[0005] a. With a wide variety of materials and no auxiliary fixtures for positioning, it is difficult to ensure assembly consistency;

[0006] b. The assembled materials are not fixed, and the screws are manually straightened, which carries the risk of the screws being driven off-center or stripped.

[0007] c. If the alignment of materials cannot be guaranteed, it will affect the final assembly, requiring a lot of time to disassemble and adjust, thus reducing the product yield.

[0008] d. Low production efficiency and long online assembly time create bottlenecks that affect the next stage. Utility Model Content

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0032] Please see Figure 1-6 The embodiments of this utility model include:

[0033] A multi-material assembly fixture for PCBs includes: a base 1, a PCB cavity 2, a rotating pressure head 3, a limiting boss 4, a positioning post 5, a positioning hole, a first mounting component, and a second mounting component.

[0034] The base has a PCB cavity for placing and positioning the PCB board to be assembled. The first mounting component and the second mounting component are movably connected to the base.

[0039] Further preferably, the base and the heat dissipation mounting limit block are provided with clearance grooves 78 to facilitate the handling of materials. Further preferably, the heat dissipation mounting limit block includes a heat dissipation base limit block and a heat dissipation fin limit block.

[0047] Further preferably, the movable connecting groove has a waist-shaped structure, which facilitates the back-and-forth movement of the upper pressure block.

[0048] A further preferred embodiment has a push-pull handle on one side of the upper pressure block for easy operation.

[0049] The steps for assembly using a multi-material assembly fixture include:

[0050] Step 1: Assemble the heatsink base:

[0051] 1. Place PCB10 into the PCB cavity and fix it with a rotating pressure head. Install the heat sink base limiting block on the base (the bottom surface contacts the limiting boss, and the positioning hole is fitted on the positioning post). Place the heat sink base in the heat sink (base) limiting cavity of the heat sink base limiting block and press it in place with a rotating pressure head. Install the first upper cover pressure strip on the first pressure strip seat. At this time, the spring pressure head presses steadily on the heat sink base to prevent its position from shifting or falling off.

[0052] 2. After the heatsink base is fixed and pressed together, flip the assembly fixture over and use a screwdriver to install the screws into the alignment holes of the PCA and the heatsink base. After assembly, flip the assembly fixture over and remove the first upper cover pressure strip and the heatsink base limiting block to proceed to the next step of material assembly.

[0053] Step 2: Transistor Installation

[0054] Transistor components are distinguished by different colors and inserted into the PCB holes according to their correct reference numbers. Then, electronic component positioning blocks are installed (pushed horizontally towards the PCB cavity from the base) to ensure the transistors are precisely positioned within the electronic component positioning cavity. Notably, the electronic component positioning blocks do not use positioning bosses or positioning pins for positioning.

[0055] Step 3: Heatsink Installation

[0056] First, install the heat sink limiting block (at this time, the heat sink limiting block is located on the electronic component limiting block). Use the limiting boss and positioning post for positioning. You can use the rotating pressure head to fix it at the same time. Place the heat sink 9 in the heat sink (fin) limiting cavity of the heat sink limiting block. The four holes on the heat sink will completely match the four holes of the heat sink base installed in the first step. Use a screwdriver to tighten the corresponding screws. After completing the installation of the heat sink, remove the heat sink limiting block and the electronic component limiting block.

[0057] Step 4: Install the side transistor

[0058] 1. First, loosen the locking screws and pull the upper pressure block away from the positioning cavity; place the transistor body to be installed into the positioning cavity, with the leads positioned in the lead positioning slots, and push the upper pressure block to extend into the positioning cavity. After pushing it into position, tighten the locking screws to fix the upper pressure block, thereby completely fixing the transistor in the pressure strip cavity; install the second upper cover pressure strip with the transistor onto the second pressure strip seat, aligning the transistor leads with the sockets on the PCB, and use the rotating pressure head to fix the second upper cover pressure strip, so that the leads are inserted into the sockets. Use the second upper cover pressure strip to fix and meet the assembly height of the transistor leads, completing the installation.

[0059] 2. After fixing the transistor height, flip the assembly fixture to solder the leads, and finally install the transistor sleeve and fixing plate screws.

[0060] The beneficial effects of this utility model of a multi-material assembly fixture for PCBs are:

[0061] 1. A single fixture design can meet the assembly needs of multiple materials, reducing fixture development costs, lowering assembly difficulty and rework rate, and improving assembly efficiency and production capacity;

[0062] 2. By utilizing multiple structures, precise positioning and fixing of each material is achieved, preventing mistakes while ensuring the relative positions between materials, improving assembly accuracy, and guaranteeing product consistency and yield.

[0063] 3. All components on the fixture are designed with fixed positions, which reduces the storage space required for the fixture and facilitates fixture management.

[0064] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
