The first positioning device is installed on the mounting frame. In a case where a substrate is installed on the frame, the first positioning device positions the substrate on the mounting frame while being in contact with the substrate. Therefore, in a case where a temperature is considerably changing, the substrate is prevented from receiving a considerable tension from the mounting frame or also prevented from being destroyed or deformed by pushing. Thus, cost for production can be reduced and yield can be improved.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1

Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a substrate placement system, and in particular to a substrate placement system adapted for different temperatures. [Background technology]

[0002] It is known that in order to meet the needs of electronic products developing toward high performance and small size, the thickness of the substrate adopted in advanced manufacturing processes is becoming thinner and thinner. The substrate is, for example, a printed circuit board. However, if the substrate size is too thin, the substrate is easily broken or deformed when the substrate is moved and placed. Moreover, even if the substrate needs to be processed at high temperature or with drastic temperature changes, the substrate is easily broken or deformed due to contact with other placement equipment, which leads to a decrease in yield and an increase in cost. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0003] Therefore, how to provide a substrate mounting system adapted to different temperatures for moving and mounting thin flexible substrates becomes an urgent problem to be solved. [Means for solving the problem]

[0004] In view of this, an object of the present invention is to provide a substrate mounting system that can effectively reduce damage to a substrate caused by temperature changes.

[0005] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a substrate mounting system, which includes a mounting frame and a first positioning device, the mounting frame having a coefficient of linear expansion (CTE) of 30×10 -6 / ℃ or less (i.e., coefficient of linear expansion (CTE) ≦30×10 -6 / °C), and the first positioning device is mounted on the mounting frame, and when the substrate is mounted on the mounting frame, the first positioning device is in contact with the substrate to position the substrate on the mounting frame. Effect of the Invention

[0006] The effects of the present invention are as follows: The linear expansion coefficient of the mounting frame is 30×10 -6 / ℃ or less (i.e., linear expansion coefficient ≦30×10 -6 By using the technical means of a temperature range of 100°C (1 / °C), when the substrate is placed on the mounting frame, the first positioning device can position the substrate on the mounting frame. When the temperature rises and falls during the manufacturing process, the mounting frame is only deformed to a small extent. Thus, the substrate is not subjected to significant pulling from the mounting frame, and is not damaged or deformed by being pushed, which in turn reduces production costs and improves yield.

[Figure 7] FIG. 2 is a perspective view showing a substrate mounting system according to the comparative example of the present invention. DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0008] In order to more clearly explain the present invention, a preferred embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. As shown in Figs. 1 to 7, a substrate mounting system 1 according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention is for mounting a substrate 2. The substrate mounting system 1 includes a mounting frame 10 and a first positioning device 20. The mounting frame 10 has a linear expansion coefficient of 30 x 10 -6 / ℃ or less (i.e., linear expansion coefficient ≦30×10 -6 / °C). When the first positioning device 20 is installed on the mounting frame 10 and the substrate 2 is installed on the mounting frame 10, the first positioning device 20 is for positioning the substrate 2 on the mounting frame 10 while contacting the substrate 2. When the substrate 2 is installed on the mounting frame 10, the first positioning device 20 can position the substrate 2 on the mounting frame 10. When the temperature rises and falls in each stage of manufacturing, even if the temperature changes drastically, the mounting frame 10 is designed to have a low linear expansion coefficient, so that the deformation amount of the mounting frame 10 affected by the temperature is also low. Therefore, the substrate 2 is not subjected to excessive pulling or pushing from the mounting frame 10, and the occurrence of breakage or deformation of the substrate 2 can be reduced, which in turn reduces production costs and improves yield.

[0009] In this embodiment, the linear expansion coefficient of the mounting frame 10 is set to 4.0×10 -6 In one embodiment, the linear expansion coefficient of the mounting frame 10 is set to 0.1×10 -6 and 30×10 -6 / ℃ may vary between 3.0×10 and 3.0×10 depending on the application. -6 and 10×10 -6 / °C.

[0010] In one embodiment, the material of the mounting frame 10 has a linear expansion coefficient difference between the mounting frame 10 and the substrate 2 of 10×10 -6 / ℃ or less (i.e., the difference in linear expansion coefficient is ≦10×10 -6 / ℃) is recommended. The difference between the above values ​​is 0 to 5.0×10 -6 / °C. In this embodiment, the substrate 2 to be processed is a flexible printed circuit board made of a glass material, and the mounting frame 10 is made of a glass material. The difference in linear expansion coefficient between the substrate 2 and the mounting frame 10 is preferably 0 to 5.0×10 -6 / °C. The glass is Pyrex® glass. In other embodiments, the glass may be selected from, but is not limited to, soda-lime glass, potassium-lime glass, lead glass, barium glass, silicate glass, other silicate glasses, alumina glass, borosilicate glass, or phosphate glass. The mounting frame 10 may be made of a material different from that of the substrate 2. The material may be selected from, but is not limited to, glass, metal, or alloy, for example.

[0011] 2 and 3, the first positioning device 20 includes a base 22, an elastic means 24, and a positioning part 26, the base 22 is coupled to the mounting frame 10, the positioning part 26 is rotatably coupled to the base 22, and the elastic means 24 is connected to the base 22 and the positioning part 26, respectively. The elastic means 24 is for providing elasticity to the positioning part 26. Then, as shown in FIG. 7, when the substrate 2 is placed on the mounting frame 10, the positioning part 26 can interpose the substrate 2 between the mounting frame 10 and the positioning part 26 through the elasticity applied by the elastic means 24. In this embodiment, the elastic means 24 is described as a torsion spring.

[0012] 2, the base 22 includes a base body 221 and a pin 222, the base body 221 is connected to the mounting frame 10, the pin 222 is connected to the base body 221, and the elastic means 24 is fitted to the pin 222. The positioning part 26 includes a body 261 and two rolling parts 262, and has a coupling part 261a and an abutting part 261b at opposite ends of the body 261, the coupling part 261a is coupled to the pin 222 rotatably with respect to the pin 222, the two rolling parts 262 are coupled to the left and right sides of the abutting part 261b of the body 261 rotatably with respect to the body 261, and the two rolling parts 262 are for abutting against the substrate 2. In addition, when the substrate 2 is interposed between the mounting frame 10 and the positioning portion 26, when the substrate 2 moves relative to the mounting frame 10, the two rolling portions 262 can roll in response to the movement of the mounting frame 10, and thus it is possible to prevent the substrate 2 from being damaged or deformed due to pulling or pushing. In this embodiment, the number of the rolling portions 262 is described as two. However, in other embodiments, when the number of the rolling portions 262 is one or more, a similar technical effect of being able to roll in response to the movement of the mounting frame 10 can be achieved.

[0013] 2, one side of the base body 221 is coupled to the frame 10, and the other side has a first mounting hole 221a. The coupling portion 261a of the positioning portion 26 has a second mounting hole. The pin can pass through the first mounting hole 221a, the second mounting hole and the elastic means 24. One end of the elastic means 24 abuts against the base body 221, and the other end abuts against the body 261 of the positioning portion 26. When a user attempts to attach the substrate 2 to the mounting frame 10, as shown in FIG. 3, the push rod 3 penetrates the through hole 10a in the mounting frame 10 and abuts the main body 261 of the positioning portion 26, and the main body 261 is rotated outward around the pin 222 as an axis to compress the elastic means 24, and then the substrate 2 is placed in the space between the positioning portion 26 and the substrate 2. Next, the push rod 3 is withdrawn from the through hole 10a, and the positioning portion 26 is rotated inward around the pin 222 as an axis via the elastic force applied by the elastic means 24 to abut against the surface of the substrate 2, so that the substrate 2 is carefully positioned between the mounting frame 10 and the positioning portion 26.

[0014] In one embodiment, the elastic means 24 has a linear expansion coefficient of 20×10 -6 / ℃ or less (i.e., linear expansion coefficient ≦20×10 -6 / °C), and can still provide good elasticity even when applied in a high temperature environment. For example, it may be made of Waspaloy® UNS N07001 nickel-based high temperature alloy. In other embodiments, the elastic means 24 may have different linear expansion coefficients depending on the manufacturing process. For example, the linear expansion coefficient of the elastic means 24 may be 5 to 20×10 -6 / °C interval, 15.9 x 10 -6 ~17.3×10 -6 / °C interval, 15.3 x 10 -6 ~19.7×10 -6 / °C interval, 13 x 10 -6 ~16.5×10-6 / ℃ or 10.5×10 -6 ~16×10 -6 / °C. According to the linear expansion coefficient requirement, the material of the elastic means 24 may be selected from, but is not limited to, spring steel, stainless steel or alloy. According to the elements of the substrate, the alloy may be selected from, but is not limited to, iron-based alloy, nickel-based alloy, cobalt-based alloy, powder metallurgy high-temperature alloy or high-entropy alloy (HEA). Also, aluminum-copper-lithium heat-resistant alloy may be selected. For example, preferably, the elastic means 24 may be selected from alloy materials such as, but not limited to, Inconel® 718, Inconel X-750, Nimonic® 263, Nimonic® 80A, Nimonic® 90, Rene 41, Elgiloy, Haynes® 25, Incoloy® 909, GH2132, A-286, GH2135, GH4145, GH4169, GH4090, GH4099, GH5605.

[0015] 1 and 4, in this embodiment, the substrate mounting system 1 further includes a second positioning device 30 installed on the mounting frame 10, and the second positioning device 30 has a mounting portion 30a for mounting the side edge of the substrate 2. Wherein, when the substrate mounting system 1 is operated in an upright position as shown in FIG. 7, the second positioning device 30 corresponds to the position of the first positioning device 20 and is located at the bottom of the first positioning device 20. Thereby, the lower edge of the substrate 2 is supported. Again, in this embodiment, the number of the first positioning devices 20 is six as an example. Also, two are set as a set and installed at the top and both sides of the mounting frame 10, respectively. The number of the second positioning devices 30 is two as an example and installed at the bottom of the mounting frame 10. In other embodiments, the number of the first positioning devices 20 may be one or more, and the number of the second positioning devices 30 may be one or more, or the second positioning devices may not be installed.

[0016] 5 and 6, in this embodiment, the base 22 includes a fixing part 223, and the base body 221 is coupled to the mounting frame 10 through the fixing part 223. The fixing part 223 includes a rear base body 2231, a tension spring 2232, a front base body 2233, and a bolt 2234, as shown in FIG. 6, and the mounting frame 10 and the base body 221 are overlapped. The mounting frame 10 has a first through hole 10b communicating with the second through hole 221b in the base body 221. The front base body 2233 has a first through hole 2233a therein. The rear base body 2231 has a second through hole 2231a communicating with the first through hole 2233a therein. The rear base body 2231 has one end drilled with the first through hole 10b. The rear base body 2231 is engaged with the surface of the mounting frame 10 at the other end. The front base body 2233 has one end formed with the second through hole 221b and the first through hole 10b. The front base body 2233 is engaged with the surface of the base body 221 at the other end. The tension spring 2232 is formed with the first through hole 2233a and the second through hole 2231a. The outer diameter of the part of the tension spring 2232 placed in the second through hole 2231a is larger than the diameter of one side of the second through hole 2231a that communicates with the first through hole 2233a. The rod portion 2234b of the bolt 2234 is formed with the first through hole 2233a. The outer diameter of a head portion 2234a of the bolt 2234 is larger than the diameter of the first through hole 2233a. By screwing a portion of the tension spring 2232 that forms the first through hole 2233a and a rod portion 2234b of the bolt 2234 with a screw, the front base body 2233 and the rear base body 2231 can be inserted into each other by the elastic force of the tension spring 2232, and the mounting frame 10 and the base body 221 are interposed between the front base body 2233 and the rear base body 2231.

[0017] 7, the mounting frame 10 has two opposing side edges each having a recess 10c recessed inward from the surface, and each recess 10c is for inserting a movable mounting rod 4, and the movable mounting rod 4 has a plurality of grooves 4a arranged along the longitudinal axis. Therefore, the mounting frame 10 is engaged with one of the plurality of grooves 4a across the two movable mounting rods 4, and the design of each movable mounting rod 4 having a plurality of grooves 4a allows the two movable mounting rods 4 to mount a plurality of mounting frames 10 simultaneously.

[0018] In order to reduce the effect of the substrate mounting system on the substrate to be mounted, in one embodiment, the difference in linear expansion coefficient between the base 22 and the mounting frame 10 is 20×10 -6 / ℃ or less (i.e., difference in linear expansion coefficient ≦20×10 -6 / ° C.), the difference in deformation caused by thermal expansion between the base 22 and the mounting frame 10 can be effectively reduced.

[0019] In one embodiment, the difference in linear expansion coefficient between the positioning portion 26 and the mounting frame 10 is 20×10 -6 / ℃ or less (i.e., difference in linear expansion coefficient ≦20×10 -6 / ° C. As a result, the difference in deformation between the positioning portion 26 and the mounting frame 10 due to thermal expansion can be effectively reduced.

[0020] In one embodiment, the difference in linear expansion coefficient between the pin 222 and the mounting frame 10 is 20×10 -6 / ℃ or less (i.e., difference in linear expansion coefficient ≦20×10 -6 / ° C.), thereby reducing the difference in thermal deformation between the pin 222 and the mounting frame 10.

[0021] In one embodiment, the difference in linear expansion coefficient between each of the rolling parts 262 and the mounting frame 10 is 20×10 -6 / ℃ or less (i.e., difference in linear expansion coefficient ≦20×10 -6 / °C), thereby reducing the difference in thermal deformation between the rolling portion 262 and the mounting frame 10. In one embodiment, the difference in linear expansion coefficient between the second positioning device 30 and the mounting frame 10 is 20×10 -6 / ℃ or less (i.e., difference in linear expansion coefficient ≦20×10 -6 / ° C. This reduces the difference in thermal deformation between the second positioning device 30 and the mounting frame 10.

[0022] Among them, by designing the linear expansion coefficient between each of the above elements and the mounting frame 10, when the temperature changes drastically during manufacturing, the degree to which the first positioning device 20 and the second positioning device 30 are deformed due to temperature changes is effectively reduced. Therefore, the substrate 2 is not subjected to tension from the first positioning device 20 or the second positioning device 30, and is not broken or deformed due to pressure, and production costs can be reduced and yields can be improved. Preferably, the difference between the linear expansion coefficient of each of the above elements and the linear expansion coefficient of the mounting frame 10 is 10×10 -6 / ℃ or slightly less than 10×10 -6 / ° C. This effectively reduces the influence of thermal deformation caused by temperature changes during manufacturing on each element.

[0023] Therefore, the effects of the present invention are as follows. When the substrate 2 is placed on the mounting frame 10, the substrate 2 can be positioned on the mounting frame 10 by the first positioning device 20. When the temperature is increased or heated during manufacturing, the mounting frame 10 is made of a material with a low linear expansion coefficient, so that the amount of deformation of the mounting frame 10 caused by the influence of the environmental temperature is low, and the substrate 2 placed on it is less likely to be pulled by the mounting frame 10. Also, it is less likely that defects will occur due to breakage or deformation caused by pressure, and it is possible to reduce production costs and improve yields.

[0024] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention, and any equivalent replacements that apply to the specification and scope of the present invention should be included in the patent scope of the present invention. [Explanation of symbols]
