Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of printed circuit board processing equipment, specifically to a pneumatic door tunnel-type solder resist pre-baking equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Solder resist ink for circuit boards is typically pre-baked in a tunnel oven. Heating the tunnel oven dries the ink on the circuit board surface. Current technology usually employs a hot air circulation heating method, where hot air is delivered into the pre-baking oven and circulated to bake and cure the solder resist ink. However, this method uses a circulating fan that heats the entire space within the tunnel oven, resulting in low heating efficiency. Furthermore, the large space requiring heating by the circulating hot air leads to uneven temperature distribution within the oven, with temperature differences ranging from ±5℃. Moreover, current pre-baking ovens primarily use mesh belt tunnel ovens, where the circuit boards are conveyed via a mesh belt. During pre-baking, only one side of the circuit board is heated, with less heat reaching the surface in contact with the conveyor belt. This results in poor drying on both sides, with temperature differences reaching 10-15℃, leading to ineffective ink drying.
[0003] Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a pneumatic door tunnel-type resist welding preheating equipment to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Summary of the Invention

Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.
[0032] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 ,in Figure 1 This is a structural schematic diagram of the pneumatic door tunnel-type resist welding pre-baking equipment of this utility model. Figure 2 yes Figure 1 The diagram shows another angle of the pneumatic door tunnel-type solder resist preheating equipment. The pneumatic door tunnel-type solder resist preheating equipment of this utility model includes a frame 1, a conveying device 2 disposed on the frame 1, a tunnel oven 3 supported on the frame 1, and a loading frame 4 supported on the conveying device. The loading frame 4 is used to carry the circuit board 200.
[0033] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 ,yes Figure 1 The diagram shows an enlarged view of part A. In this invention, the conveying device 2 is a heavy-duty conveying device, which includes a large-pitch conveying chain 21 and chain plates 22 connected to the large-pitch conveying chain. In this embodiment, the pitch of the large-pitch conveying chain is 50.8 mm; the larger the chain pitch, the greater its load-bearing capacity.
[0034] In this embodiment, the conveying device 2 is a stepper conveyor driven by a stepper motor. The stepper motor speed is 4.5 min / step, meaning each step takes 4.5 min. The stepper motor speed is set according to the baking time of the circuit board and the length of the tunnel oven. The stepper conveyor achieves precise positioning and synchronous conveying by intermittently pushing materials or workpieces, and is widely used in automated processes in industrial production. In this embodiment, by using a stepper conveyor, the spacing between two adjacent loading frames can be ensured to be stable, and because the step length is controllable, the uniformity of heating the circuit board can be guaranteed.
[0035] The tunnel oven 3 includes an oven body 31, a pneumatic sealing door 33 disposed within the oven body 31 to divide it into multiple independent baking chambers 32, a heating device 34 disposed in each independent baking chamber 32, and a circulating fan 35 disposed corresponding to each independent baking chamber.
[0036] Please refer to the following: Figure 4 ,yes Figure 1 The diagram shows the structural structure of the furnace body in the pneumatic tunnel-type resist welding preheating equipment. In this invention, the furnace body 31 is made of stainless steel, and its surface has a heat insulation layer 311. Specifically, the heat insulation layer is a rock wool insulation layer with a thickness of 80-120mm. The heat insulation layer 311 prevents heat loss from the furnace body and improves heat utilization. The heat insulation layer 311 can be located on the outer wall or the inner wall of the furnace body 31.
[0037] In this embodiment, the opening and closing time of the pneumatic sealing door is less than 1 second, allowing the circuit board to smoothly move from one independent baking chamber to the next during the pre-baking process. The sealing door reduces heat loss within the independent baking chambers. In this embodiment, the pneumatic sealing door divides the oven into 8-12 independent baking chambers. For example, when there are 10 independent baking chambers and the circuit board baking time is 45 minutes, the stepper motor speed of the conveyor is 4.5 minutes per step. In this embodiment, each independent baking chamber 10 contains two loading frames 4.
[0038] In this embodiment, the heating device 34 includes a microwave generator 341 and a ceramic heater 342. The microwave generator operates at a frequency of 2.45 GHz ± 50 MHz, and the ceramic heater 342 has a power of 5-10 kW. The combination of microwave generator heating and ceramic heater heating improves heating efficiency. Furthermore, the microwave generator has penetrating heating properties, which further improves the temperature uniformity within the independent baking chamber and the temperature uniformity on both sides of the circuit board, thereby reducing the temperature difference between the two sides of the circuit board. Specifically, the microwave generator 341 and the ceramic heater 342 are installed on the side wall of the oven body.
[0039] Each independent baking chamber is equipped with a corresponding circulating fan 35, allowing heat to circulate independently within the chamber. The circulating hot air creates an internal circulation of the heat generated by the heating device within the independent baking chamber, improving heating efficiency. In this embodiment, the circulating fan 35 is a high-temperature resistant circulating fan with a power of 1.2-1.8KW and a wind speed of 4-6 m / min. Preferably, the air inlet pipe of the circulating fan 35 is equipped with a filter device 36 to filter the circulating hot air, removing impurities and preventing contamination of the circuit board.
[0040] In this utility model, the tunnel oven 3 also includes a temperature sensor 37 and an alarm 38 installed in each independent baking chamber. The alarm is installed on the top of the oven body. The temperature sensor 37 and the alarm 38 are electrically connected to the control system. The temperature sensor 37 sends the detection data to the control system. When the temperature detected by the temperature sensor exceeds the set value, the control system controls the alarm 38 to sound an alarm.
[0041] Please refer to the following: Figure 5 ,yes Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of the loading frame in the pneumatic tunnel-type solder resist pre-baking equipment. The loading frame 4 includes a frame body 41 and multiple insertion slots 42 located on the frame body for fixing the edges of the circuit board. Specifically, the frame body 41 includes a bottom support 411, multiple columns 412 located on the bottom support 411, and a top support 413 connected to the top of the columns 412. The inner sides of two opposing columns are respectively provided with symmetrically distributed insertion slots 42. When placing the circuit board, the opposite sides of the circuit board 200 are embedded in the insertion slots, while the surface of the circuit board is exposed. The hot air inside the tunnel oven dries both sides of the circuit board.
[0042] In this embodiment, the multiple connector slots 42 are spaced apart in the vertical direction, so that the circuit board is placed horizontally. Alternatively, the multiple connector slots can be spaced apart in the horizontal direction, in which case the surface of the circuit board is perpendicular to the horizontal direction.
[0043] In this embodiment, the number of insertion slots 42 is 12-15, meaning each loading frame can hold 12-15 circuit boards, improving the drying efficiency of the PCB solder mask pre-baking oven. Since the circuit boards are carried by the loading frames, it is suitable for processing large-size circuit boards, avoiding the problem of conveyor belt deformation that occurs when using a mesh conveyor belt to carry large-size circuit boards in the prior art. In this embodiment, the circuit boards carried by the loading frames are large-size circuit boards with dimensions of 24" × 28".
