[0003] [Patent Document 1] JP 2023-026021 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The board on which the components are mounted may be a board with low heat resistance, such as a resin board. When soldering components to a board with low heat resistance, a local heating method is used. In such cases, soldering using heat rays such as laser light is usually used. The cream solder applied to the board in advance melts and a fillet is formed on the electrode part of the component, and the component is soldered to the board. If the high temperature state is maintained for a long time to ensure soldering, it will damage the board. The temperature rise during heat ray irradiation varies depending on the size of the pad part of the board and the size of the lead part of the component, so it is difficult to control. For this reason, it is managed by a temperature sensor that detects points, but it is not possible to manage the melting state of the entire solder. If the melting state of the solder cannot be properly managed, the quality of the soldering may deteriorate.

[0005] The technology disclosed in this specification aims to suppress deterioration of soldering quality. [Means for solving the problem]

[0006] According to the technology disclosed in this specification, there is provided a component mounting system comprising: a mounting head that mounts components on a board to which solder has been applied; a heat ray head that irradiates the solder with a heat ray after the components have been mounted; a camera that images the solder in parallel with the irradiation of the heat ray; a learning unit that generates a learning model in which the image of the solder is input and the quality of the soldering is output; a judgment unit that inputs the image of the solder captured by the camera into the learning model and judges whether the soldering is of good quality; and a control unit that stops the irradiation of the heat ray when it is judged that the soldering is of good quality.

[0043] In the embodiment, the mounting device 12 has a dispenser 34 that applies cream solder to the board 1. The dispenser 34 moves in each of the X-axis direction, the Y-axis direction, and the Z-axis direction on the +Z side of the transport device 19. The dispenser 34 and the mounting head 24 are capable of moving separately. After the cream solder is applied to the surface of the board 1 by the dispenser 34, the mounting head 24 mounts the components 2 on the board 1 on which the cream solder has been applied. The board 1 on which the components 2 have been mounted by the mounting device 12 is transported to the preheating device 13 while being fixed to the pallet 3.

[0044] The preheating device 13 reduces the liquid component of the cream solder applied to the board 1. The cream solder includes flux and metallic solder balls dispersed in the flux.

[0048] The chamber 38 has an internal space in which the base member 35, the transport device 36, and the heater 37 are respectively housed.

[0049] Preheating device 13 heats substrate 1 held on pallet 3 so as to reduce the liquid component of the cream solder.

The laser irradiation device 14 includes a base member 39, a transport device 40 for transporting the pallet 3, a stage 41 for supporting the pallet 3, a stage moving device 42 for moving the stage 41, a laser head 43 for emitting a laser beam, a fillet camera 45 for capturing an image of the substrate 1, and a chamber 44.

[0051] The base member 39 supports a transport device 40 , a stage 41 , a stage moving device 42 , and a laser head 43 .

[0052] The transport device 40 transports the pallet 3 holding the substrate 1 in the X-axis direction. The transport device 40 has a transport belt 40A that transports the pallet 3, and a guide member 40B that guides the pallet 3. The structure and function of the transport device 40 are substantially the same as the structure and function of the transport device 19.

[0053] The stage 41 supports the pallet 3 from the -Z side. The stage movement device 42 moves the stage 41 in the Y-axis direction, the Z-axis direction, the θX direction, and the θY direction. The structure and function of the stage 41 are substantially the same as the structure and function of the stage 20.

[0054] After the mounting head 24 mounts the components 2 on the board 1 via the cream solder, the laser head 43 irradiates the cream solder with laser light. The laser head 43 irradiates the cream solder with laser light to melt the cream solder. The laser head 43 moves in the X-axis direction, Y-axis direction, and Z-axis direction on the +Z side of the conveying device 40. The laser head 43 is an example of a hot ray head. The laser light emitted from the laser head 43 is an example of a hot ray.

[0055] The fillet camera 45 images the substrate 1. The fillet camera 45 images at least the cream solder. In the embodiment, the fillet camera 45 images the surface of the substrate 1 from the +Z side of the substrate 1. The fillet camera 45 is provided on the laser head 43. The fillet camera 45 moves together with the laser head 43 in the X-axis direction, the Y-axis direction, and the Z-axis direction.

[0056] The chamber 44 has an internal space in which the base member 39, the transport device 40, the stage 41, the stage moving device 42, and the laser head 43 are housed.

[0057] [Laser irradiation device] Fig. 9 is a diagram that illustrates a laser irradiation device 14 according to an embodiment. Fig. 10 is a diagram that illustrates a part of a board 1 on which a component 2 according to an embodiment is mounted.

[0058] The stage 41 of the laser irradiation device 14 supports the pallet 3 holding the substrate 1. The substrate 1 is supported by the stage 41 via the pallet 3. The stage 41 is rotatable about a rotation axis Rm.

[0059] The component 2 is mounted on the board 1 via cream solder 90. As shown in Fig. 10, the component 2 has a main body portion 2A and an electrode portion 2B. The board 1 has a pad 1C. The electrode portion 2B and the pad 1C are soldered together with the cream solder 90.

[0060] In the laser irradiation device 14, the cream solder 90 is irradiated with the laser light emitted from the laser head 43. The cream solder 90 is heated by the laser light, and melts. The melted cream solder 90 is cooled, and a fillet is formed between the electrode portion 2B and the pad 1C, thereby soldering the component 2 to the board 1. The fillet refers to the portion on the surface of the board 1 where solder is piled up.

[0061] In the embodiment, the cream solder 90 is irradiated with a laser beam after the liquid component of the cream solder 90 is reduced in the preheating device 13. Since the cream solder 90 is irradiated with a laser beam in a state in which the liquid component of the cream solder 90 is reduced, solder balls due to bumping of the cream solder 90 are suppressed.

[0062] The fillet camera 45 is fixed to the laser head 43. The fillet camera 45 images the cream solder 90 provided on the surface of the substrate 1. The fillet camera 45 images the cream solder 90 in parallel with the irradiation of the cream solder 90 with the laser light. That is, the fillet camera 45 images the cream solder 90 at least during the period when the laser light is being emitted from the laser head 43. The fillet camera 45 images the cream solder while the cream solder 90 is being irradiated with the laser light.

[0063] If the cream solder 90 is irradiated with a laser beam for a long period of time in order to ensure soldering, the board 1 may be damaged. If the cream solder 90 is not irradiated with a laser beam insufficiently, the quality of the soldering may be reduced. In other words, if the cream solder 90 is not irradiated with a laser beam insufficiently, the board 1 and the component 2 may not be soldered sufficiently. Conventionally, the melted state of the cream solder 90 has been managed by a point detection temperature sensor, but the method using a temperature sensor can only manage the melted state of a localized portion of the cream solder 90.

[0064] In the embodiment, the melted state of the cream solder 90 is managed based on an image of the cream solder 90. Specifically, the irradiation time of the laser light is managed based on the image of the cream solder 90. According to the embodiment, since the melted state of the entire solder is managed, it is possible to suppress damage to the substrate 1 while suppressing deterioration of the soldering quality.

[0065] 11 is a block diagram showing the laser irradiation device 14 according to the embodiment. The laser irradiation device 14 has a laser head 43, a fillet camera 45, and a controller 16. The controller 16 controls the laser irradiation device 14.

The functions of the controller 16 are stored in the storage 49 as a computer program. The processor 47 reads the computer program from the storage 49, loads it in the main memory 48, and executes a predetermined process according to the computer program. The computer program may be distributed to the controller 16 via a network.

[0067] As shown in Fig. 11, an inspection device 15 is connected to the laser irradiation device 14. A controller 16 can communicate with the inspection device 15. The inspection device 15 includes a board appearance inspection device (AOI: Automated Optical Inspection) that inspects the state of the board 1 after the components 2 are soldered. The inspection device 15 can inspect the quality of the soldering.

[0068] In the embodiment, the quality of the soldering includes the fillet shape of the cream solder 90. The inspection device 15 inspects the fillet shape. As described above, the cream solder 90 is irradiated with laser light from the laser head 43, thereby melting the cream solder 90. The melted cream solder 90 is cooled, thereby forming a fillet of the cream solder 90. The quality of the soldering can be evaluated by the fillet shape. If the fillet shape is good (if it is the target shape), the soldering is evaluated as good. If the fillet shape is poor (if it differs from the target shape), the soldering is evaluated as poor. The inspection result of the inspection device 15 is transmitted to the controller 16.

[0069] The controller 16 includes a control unit 51 , a fillet formation determination unit 52 , and a machine learning unit 53 .

[0070] The control unit 51 controls the laser head 43. The control unit 51 controls the laser oscillation. The control unit 51 can control the irradiation time of the laser light.

[0071] The fillet formation determination unit 52 determines whether or not the soldering is of good quality based on the image of the cream solder 90 captured by the fillet camera 45. That is, the fillet formation determination unit 52 determines whether or not the fillet shape of the cream solder 90 is of good quality based on the image of the cream solder 90 captured by the fillet camera 45.

[0072] The machine learning unit 53 receives an image of the cream solder 90 as an input and generates a learning model that outputs the quality of soldering. The machine learning unit 53 receives, for example, an image of the cream solder 90 in a molten state and the inspection results of the inspection device 15 as training data, receives an image of the cream solder 90 in a molten state as an input, and generates a learning model that outputs the fillet shape of the cream solder 90.

[0073] Fillet formation determination unit 52 inputs an image of cream solder 90 in a molten state (a state in which laser light is being irradiated) captured by fillet camera 45 into a learning model and determines whether or not the soldering is of good quality. That is, fillet formation determination unit 52 predicts the fillet shape after cream solder 90 cools based on the image of cream solder 90 in a molten state (a state in which laser light is being irradiated) and the learning model, and determines whether or not the predicted fillet shape is of good quality.

[0074] The control unit 51 stops the irradiation of the laser light when the fillet formation determination unit 52 determines that the soldering is of good quality. This prevents excessive irradiation of the laser light, i.e., prevents damage to the substrate 1, and prevents deterioration of the soldering quality.

[0075] [Laser irradiation device operation] An example of the operation of the laser irradiation device 14 will be described below. Fig. 13 is a flowchart showing the operation of the laser irradiation device 14 according to the embodiment. Fig. 14 is a diagram showing a schematic diagram of a fillet state according to the embodiment. Fig. 14 shows an example of an image for learning and an image for judgment according to the embodiment.

[0076] The fillet camera 45 can capture video. The machine learning unit 53 extracts images from a video of a fillet being formed when a laser beam is irradiated onto the cream solder 90 as shown in FIG. 14, and labels the extracted images with the state of the fillet (step S1). The labels attached to the images include a label indicating that the fillet is "before formation" and a label indicating that the fillet is "after formation". For example, the machine learning unit 53 may label an image taken just before the end of soldering under normal time management as "after formation" and label an image taken before the end as "before formation".

[0077] The machine learning unit 53 performs supervised machine learning on the labeled images to generate a learning model (step S2).

[0078] Fillet formation determination unit 52 inputs an image of cream solder 90 captured by fillet camera 45, as shown in Fig. 14, into the learning model, and determines the state of the fillet from the image during soldering at any time. That is, fillet formation determination unit 52 uses the learning model to determine whether the fillet is "before formation" or "after formation" from the image during soldering at any time (step S3).

[0079] Control unit 51 stops laser oscillation at the point in time when the determination result of fillet formation determination unit 52 changes from "before formation" of the fillet to "after formation" (step S4).

[0080] By controlling the laser oscillation time during soldering in the operations of steps S3 and S4, soldering is performed with minimal heating. The image used for the judgment is saved, and if the soldering is judged to be poor by the inspection device 15 in the post-process, the image can be labeled as "before fillet formation" and re-learned to improve the judgment accuracy.

[0081] In addition, if the laser irradiation device 14 is provided with a temperature sensor capable of detecting the temperature of the cream solder 90 (fillet temperature) and the temperature of the substrate 1 (substrate temperature), the reliability of soldering can be improved by stopping the laser oscillation in the above-mentioned step S4 after the judgment result of the fillet formation judgment unit 52 changes from "before formation" of the fillet to "after formation", after the fillet temperature exceeds the designated temperature, and before the substrate temperature exceeds the designated temperature.
