Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of PCB board surface mount soldering technology, specifically a rapid cooling device for PCB board surface mount solder joints. Background Technology
[0002] In the printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing process, surface mount components are assembled using surface mount technology. Generally, surface mount components are mounted using reflow soldering. First, a printer applies solder paste to the pads on the PCB. Then, a pick-and-place machine presses the surface mount components onto the corresponding soldering positions on the reference cable board to adhere to the solder paste. The PCB is then conveyed through the reflow oven chamber by a conveyor. In the reflow oven chamber, the solder paste reflows in the heating zone (i.e., is heated to the melting or reflow temperature) and then cools in the cooling zone to electrically and mechanically connect the wires of the electronic components to the PCB.
[0003] Common cooling methods include natural cooling and forced air cooling. Although these methods can meet basic requirements, they still have shortcomings in pursuing higher production efficiency and higher quality soldering results. Traditional cooling methods often cause PCBs and their components to experience a long period of high temperature, increasing the possibility of solder joint oxidation and affecting the quality and reliability of the solder joints.

[0026] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Example 1
[0027] As attached Figures 1 to 5The PCB board surface mount solder joint rapid cooling device shown includes: a body 1, a groove 11 on the top of the body 1, a conveyor belt 12 inside the groove 11, a housing 13 fixedly mounted on the top of the body 1, mounting frames 14 inside both the body 1 and the housing 13, the mounting frames 14 being divided into a preheating zone 15, a soldering zone 16 and a cooling zone 17, and a cooling mechanism located in the cooling zone 17 for cooling the solder joints of the PCB board surface mount soldering.
[0028] First, solder paste is applied to the pads on the printed circuit board using a printing press. Then, a pick-and-place machine presses the surface mount components onto the corresponding soldering positions on the reference cable board to adhere to the solder paste. The PCB board is then conveyed into the machine body 1 via conveyor belt 12. The PCB board first enters the preheating zone 15 for preheating, and then enters the soldering zone 16 for heating to melt the solder paste and form electrical connections between the components. Subsequently, it enters the cooling zone 17 where a cooling mechanism rapidly cools the solder joints to form a reliable connection and prevents oxidation of the solder joints.
[0029] Based on Embodiment 1, the solution in Embodiment 1 will be further described in detail below with reference to the specific working method, such as... Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown below, see details for further description;
[0030] The cooling system includes: a fan duct 2, an air guide shroud 21, a frame 22, connecting plates 23, copper pipes 24, a chiller 25, and a water tank 26. The fan duct 2 is fixedly installed at the top of the cooling zone 17, and the air guide shroud 21 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fan duct 2. A frame 22 is fixedly installed between the inner walls of the fan duct 2, and multiple connecting plates 23 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the frame 22. Copper pipes 24 are arranged between the multiple connecting plates 23 in a continuous S-shape. The chiller 25 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the unit 1, and a water tank 26 is located at the top of the chiller 25. The cooling output of the refrigeration unit 25 is connected to the water tank 26. A water pump 27 is fixedly installed on one side of the water tank 26. The input end of the water pump 27 is connected to the water tank 26. The output end of the water pump 27 is fixedly connected to the delivery pipe 28. A return pipe 29 is connected to the side of the water tank 26 near the top. There are water receiving tanks 210 below the copper pipes 24. One end of the delivery pipe 28 is connected to the input end of the two copper pipes 24 respectively. The return pipe 29 is connected to the output end of the two copper pipes 24 and the drain outlet of the two water receiving tanks 210 respectively.
[0031] Specifically: Before processing, the refrigeration unit 25 is started to cool the water in the water tank 26, lowering the water temperature. After the water pump 27 starts, it draws out the cold water from inside the water tank 26 and delivers it to the upper and lower sets of copper pipes 24 through the delivery pipe 28. The cold water flows in the copper pipes 24 and then flows back into the water tank 26 through the return pipe 29. The water droplets condensed on the surface of the copper pipes 24 fall into the water receiving tank 210. The upper water receiving tank 210 is located in the air guide shroud 21 and connected to its inner wall. The lower water receiving tank 210... 10 is located in the air duct 2 and connected to its inner wall. Water droplets are collected through the water collection tank 210 and returned to the water tank 26 through the return pipe 29. Air ducts are left on both sides of the water collection tank 210 for airflow. The airflow enters the air duct 2 and flows between the copper pipes 24. The airflow is cooled by contact with the copper pipes 24 to form cold air. The cold air enters the air guide shroud 21 and is blown out from the air guide shroud 21. The cold air cools the upper and lower surfaces of the PCB board, so that the solder joints are cooled quickly.
[0032] In a preferred embodiment, the top of the air duct 2 is provided with multiple air holes 3, and turbulence plates 31 are fixedly installed on the inner wall of the air guide shroud 21. Fans 32 are fixedly installed inside the air duct 2 at positions opposite to the air holes 3.
[0033] Furthermore, after the fan 32 is started, it generates airflow. External air is drawn in through the gap between the air guide shroud 21 and the inner wall of the cooling zone 17, and then enters the air duct 2 through the air hole 3 and is transported into the air guide shroud 21. The laminar flow state is broken by the turbulence plate 31, so that the airflow is more evenly distributed on the PCB board surface.
[0034] In a preferred embodiment, heat insulation layers 4 are provided on the inner walls of the preheating zone 15, the welding zone 16 and the cooling zone 17, and heating devices 41 are installed inside the preheating zone 15 and the welding zone 16.
[0035] Furthermore, the heat insulation layer 4 is used for heat insulation, and the PCB board with the components mounted is preheated and soldered by the heating device 41.
[0036] All electrical components mentioned in the text are electrically connected to the main controller and power supply. The main controller can be a conventional known device such as a computer that performs control functions, and the existing publicly available power connection technologies are not described in detail in the text.
[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
