Description

Technical Field

This utility model provides an SMT solder paste printing machine with a cleaning function. The SMT solder paste printing machine includes a housing, a motor, a first screw, a moving block, guide rods, a storage frame, and a cap. The motor is mounted on the right side of the housing, and the output shaft of the motor is connected to the first screw via a coupling. A moving block is threaded onto the first screw. Guide rods are connected to both the front and rear sides inside the housing, and the moving block slides between the two guide rods. A storage frame is slidably mounted below the moving block. Caps are rotatably mounted on both the front and rear sides of the top of the storage frame. A brush wheel is rotatably mounted inside the lower part of the storage frame.

[0004] In the aforementioned printing machine, the squeegee scrapes the solder paste on the brush plate to perform the printing work; however, the brush plate of the aforementioned printing machine is located inside the printing machine, and the printing plate cannot be moved.
