[0020] Many specific details are set forth in the following description in order to provide a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art can make similar extensions without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0021] Secondly, the term "an embodiment" or "embodiment" as used herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in different places in this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it a single or selective embodiment that excludes other embodiments.

[0022] Example

[0023] Reference Figure 1-3 This embodiment of the present invention provides a vacuum tube brazing furnace, including a tubular brazing furnace body 1 with a sealed furnace door 2 hinged to its left side, a controller 4 fixedly installed on the outer surface of the tubular brazing furnace body 1, three sets of heaters 5 arranged in the inner cavity of the tubular brazing furnace body 1, heaters 5 installed on both sides of the inner cavity of the tubular brazing furnace body 1, a work platform 6 fixed at the bottom of the inner cavity of the tubular brazing furnace body 1, a main pipe 7 connected to the right side of the tubular brazing furnace body 1, and a high-pressure water jet connected to the top of the main pipe 7. Vacuum gauge 8, one end of the bottom of the main pipe 7 is connected to a molecular pump 9 via a connecting pipe, the bottom of the molecular pump 9 is connected to a pre-stage valve 10 via a connecting pipe, the bottom of the pre-stage valve 10 is connected to a mechanical pump 11 via a connecting pipe, the right side of the mechanical pump 11 is connected to a bypass valve 12 via a connecting pipe, the top of the bypass valve 12 is connected to a ball valve 13 via a connecting pipe, the other end of the bottom of the main pipe 7 is connected to a fine-tuning valve 14 via a connecting pipe, and the bottom of the fine-tuning valve 14 is connected to a vent valve 15 via a connecting pipe.

[0024] The sealed furnace door 2 is fixedly installed with a hinge on the rear side, and the hinge is fixedly installed with the surface of the tubular brazing furnace body 1. The hinge structure ensures that the sealed furnace door 2 and the tubular brazing furnace body 1 are tightly fitted to avoid vacuum leakage and maintain a clean environment inside the furnace.

[0025] Specifically, the surface of the tubular brazing furnace body 1 is equipped with a display screen and operation buttons. The display screen shows key parameters such as temperature and vacuum level in real time, while the operation buttons provide centralized control, reducing the risk of misoperation.

[0026] Furthermore, the workstation 6 supports the design of two or more workstations, and through multi-workstation parallel processing, it is suitable for batch welding, such as electronic components, precision metal parts, etc.

[0027] Preferably, a graphite fixture can be installed on the workstation 6 to prevent contamination caused by contact with the brazing filler metal. The graphite material is resistant to high temperatures and brazing filler metal wetting, thus preventing the brazing filler metal from sticking to and contaminating the workpiece during the welding process.

[0028] It should be noted that the top of the ball valve 13 is connected to the bottom of the main pipe 7 via a connecting pipe.

[0029] During use, confirm that mechanical pump 11 and molecular pump 9 are operating normally and without leaks. Clean the furnace chamber to prevent residual materials from volatilizing at high temperatures and contaminating the workpiece. Select high-purity foil or filament solder. Use graphite clamps to fix the chip and substrate, ensuring uniform pressure on the contact surface and preventing contamination caused by contact between the metal clamps and the solder. When evacuating, first start mechanical pump 11 to evacuate to 10. -1 Pa, then turn on the molecular pump 9 to reach 10. -4 Below Pa (approximately 30-60 minutes), temperature control and welding are performed in stages: First stage: room temperature → 300℃, rate 5℃ / min (to remove adsorbed gases); Second stage: 300℃ → solder melting point +50℃ (e.g., 800℃), rate 3℃ / min; Holding stage: time adjusted according to solder flowability (usually 10-30 minutes); Cooling control: the furnace is cooled to below 200℃ before vacuuming (to prevent oxidation), cooling rate ≤2℃ / min. This effectively provides vacuum brazing functionality, using as few mechanical pumps as possible (11) and molecular pumps (9) to reduce costs and maximize equipment efficiency; Vacuum environment: the vacuum level of the welding chamber is typically 10. -3 ~10 -5 Pa completely eliminates the risk of oxidation, eliminates the need for inert gas protection, reduces gas costs, and features precise temperature control: multi-zone independent temperature control (±1℃ accuracy) ensures uniform temperature within the furnace, with a maximum temperature of up to 500℃. It can effectively provide vacuum tube brazing functionality, enabling the welding of components in a vacuum environment.

[0030] In summary, the vacuum system, composed of mechanical pump 11, molecular pump 9, and corresponding valves, can serve multiple workstations through reasonable pipeline connections. This improves the sharing and utilization efficiency of vacuum system equipment such as pumps, avoids resource waste, and provides an ideal vacuum environment for related welding work. It effectively prevents oxidation of the welded components during the welding process, thereby ensuring welding quality. This invention can effectively provide vacuum brazing functionality, achieving cost reduction and efficient equipment utilization by using as few mechanical pumps 11 and molecular pumps 9 as possible. The number of mechanical pumps 11, molecular pumps 9, and corresponding valves can be adjusted according to the number of workstations, but the basic structure and principle of the system remain unchanged.
