Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This application relates to support rods, and more particularly to support rods used in cleaning paper rolls in solder paste printers. [Background technology]

[0002] In the sealing / affixing process to the surface of a printed circuit board, a solder paste printer is used to print solder paste onto an electronic product (such as a circuit board). Solder paste printers generally include a stencil (also called a template), a solder paste application device, and a mechanism such as a scraper or squeegee. During printing, the circuit board is automatically fed into the solder paste printer and first aligned with the stencil in the solder paste printer before the solder paste is printed onto the circuit board. Once the circuit board is aligned with the stencil in the printer, the solder paste is dispensed by moving the scraper or squeegee in a skimming motion over the stencil to force the solder paste onto the circuit board through the holes in the stencil. After the printing operation, the circuit board is sent to another process step in a printed circuit board processing production line.

[0003] After printing one or more circuit boards, there may be solder paste residue on the stencil, which will affect the printing of the next circuit board. For this reason, solder paste printers often include cleaning paper under the stencil to wipe off any residual solder paste on the stencil and thus prevent it from affecting the next circuit board.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0024] Various specific embodiments of the present application are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of this specification. Directional terms such as "front," "rear," "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "top," and "bottom" are used herein to describe the orientation of various exemplary structures and elements of the present application; however, it should be understood that these terms are used herein merely for ease of description and are determined based on the exemplary orientation shown in the drawings. Because the embodiments disclosed herein may be arranged according to different orientations, these directional terms serve merely as descriptions and should not be considered limiting. Where possible, the same or similar reference numerals used herein refer to the same components.

[0025] FIG. 1A is a schematic top view of a cleaning paper roll support rod and surrounding components at its installation position in a solder paste printer according to the present application, and FIG. 1B is a schematic side view of the support rod of FIG. 1A and surrounding components at its installation position.

[0026] 1A and 1B, the solder paste printer has a pair of stencil supports 112 and 113, and two sides of a stencil (not shown) are supported by the stencil supports 112 and 113, respectively. A pair of support rods 101 and 102 are provided below the stencil supports 112 and 113. When viewed from above the solder paste printer, both ends of the support rods 101 and 102 are obscured by the stencil supports 112 and 113, and the middle portions of the support rods 101 and 102 are located below the area where the stencil is located.

[0027] A stencil mounting space 115 is formed between the stencil supports 112 and 113, and is used to mount a stencil. The stencil supports 112 and 113 extend in a first direction. The support rods 101 and 102 extend in a second direction (axial direction of the support rods), and the first direction is substantially perpendicular to the second direction, i.e., the angle between the first direction and the second direction is 85 degrees to 95 degrees.

[0028] Support rods 101 and 102 are connected to two ends of the cleaning paper, respectively, and the cleaning paper is wound around the support rods to form a reel. The cleaning paper is wound in opposite directions on support rods 101 and 102, forming a cleaning paper working area between support rods 101 and 102, and the cleaning paper in the working area can clean the stencil. One end of each of support rods 101 and 102 is connected to a driving means, so that support rods 101 and 102 can rotate, thereby driving the cleaning paper to rotate. During operation, used cleaning paper can be wound around support rod 101 or support rod 102 by rotating support rods 101 and 102 so that unused cleaning paper enters the working area.

[0029] To replace the cleaning paper, the support rods 101 and 102 must be removed from the solder paste printer. In this application, due to installation space limitations, the support rods 101 and 102 must be removed from above the stencil supports 112 and 113. In the process of using the solder paste printer, it is desirable not to remove the stencil supports 112 and 113 to avoid changing the stencil position due to removal of the stencil supports 112 and 113, which would affect the processing accuracy of the circuit board. Since both ends of the support rods 101 and 102 are blocked by the stencil supports 112 and 113, making it difficult to remove them as a unit, this application provides multi-segment stencil support rods 101 and 102 to facilitate replacement of the cleaning paper.

[0030] The support rods 101 and 102 have the same structure but are attached at different positions. The specific structure of the support rods will be described below by taking the support rod 101 as an example.

[0031] FIG. 2A is a three-dimensional view of the support rod of FIG. 1A. FIG. 2B is an exploded view of the support rod of FIG. 2A. As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the support rod 101 is in the form of a long rod including a first connecting portion 201, a main body 202, a second connecting portion 203, and a pair of fasteners 251 and 252. The first connecting portion 201 and the second connecting portion 203 are both connected to a solder paste printer. The main body 202 is located between the first connecting portion 201 and the second connecting portion 203 and is connected to the first connecting portion 201 and the second connecting portion 203 by the fasteners 251 and 252. The main body 202 can be detached from the first connecting portion 201 and the second connecting portion 203. Cleaning paper is wrapped around the main body 202.

[0032] The main body portion 202 has a first end portion 211 and a second end portion 212, with a first engagement portion 215 provided at the first end portion 211 and a second engagement portion 216 provided at the second end portion. A first fitting portion 225 is provided at one end of the first connecting portion 201 and a second fitting portion 226 is provided at one end of the second connecting portion 203, and the first engagement portion 215 can be fitted with the first fitting portion 225 and the second engagement portion 216 can be fitted with the second fitting portion 226, thereby limiting rotation of the main body portion 202 relative to the first connecting portion 201 or the second connecting portion 203. When the support rod 101 is rotationally driven by a driving means, the first connecting portion 201, the main body portion 202, and the second connecting portion 203 rotate together. The first connecting portion 201, the main body portion 202, and the second connecting portion 203 are removably connected by fasteners.

[0033] 3 is a three-dimensional view of the main body 202 of FIG. 2B. As shown in FIG. 3, a gripping portion 308 is provided in an intermediate portion between the first end 211 and the second end 212 of the main body 202. The gripping portion 308 is provided with a plurality of serrated ribs for gripping the cleaning paper and preventing the cleaning paper from slipping relative to the main body 202. The first engaging portion 215 and the second engaging portion 216 have the same structure and are arranged symmetrically. Their structures will be described below using the first engaging portion 215 as an example.

[0034] As shown in FIG. 3 , the first end 211 has an end face 310, which includes a circular central region 311 and an annular peripheral region 312 disposed around the central region 311. The body 202 includes a threaded hole 328 recessed axially inward from the central region 311 of the end face 310, and the threaded hole 328 is configured to mate with a fastener. The center of the threaded hole 328 coincides with the central axis of the support rod 101. The body 202 further includes four recesses 306 recessed axially inward from the peripheral region 312 of the end face 310. The four recesses 306 are evenly distributed circumferentially. Each of the four recesses 306 extends radially of the support rod through a side wall 329 of the body 202, and therefore has openings in both the side wall 329 and the end face 310. In one embodiment of the present application, the side walls 361 and 362 are substantially parallel to each other, i.e., the recess 306 has a uniform width in the radial direction. There is a gap in the radial direction between the recess 306 and the screw hole 328, i.e., the recess 306 and the screw hole 328 are spaced apart. The first engagement portion 215 includes four recesses 306.

[0035] In other embodiments of the present application, the recesses 306 no longer extend through the sidewall 329, and therefore openings are only provided in the end surface 310. In other embodiments of the present application, there are other numbers of recesses 306.

[0036] Each recess 306 is recessed inward by a certain distance in the radial direction, and the depth of the recess is equal to or greater than 1 / 8 of the diameter of the end face of the main body. Each recess 306 has a pair of side walls 361 and 362 arranged opposite each other, and when the support rod rotates, the protrusion of the first connecting portion abuts against side wall 361 or 362, thereby rotating the main body.

[0037] Fig. 4A is a three-dimensional view of the first connection portion provided with a fastener in the present application, and Fig. 4B is an exploded view of the first connection portion and fastener of Fig. 4A. As shown in Figs. 4A and 4B, fastener 421 is located within first connection portion 201. First connection portion 201 includes a housing 401 and a fastener mounting block 402, and housing 401 and fastener mounting block 402 are configured as removable components to facilitate mounting of fastener 421.

[0038] The first connecting portion 201 has a first end 441 and a second end 442. The first end 441 is configured to be connected to a solder paste printer device, and the second end 442 is configured to be connected to the main body portion 202 of the support rod. The second end 442 has four protrusions 406 formed to protrude axially outward from the end face 428, and the four protrusions 406 are evenly distributed circumferentially. The four protrusions 406 are adjacent to the outside of the first connecting portion 201, and the four protrusions 406 match the shapes of the four recesses 306 of the main body portion 202 and can be inserted into the four recesses 306. The four protrusions 406 constitute the second fitting portion 226.

[0039] In another embodiment of the present application, a recess is provided in the main body portion 202 and a protrusion is provided in the first connecting portion 201, and fitting between the main body portion 202 and the first connecting portion 201 is also possible.

[0040] The housing 401 has a housing cavity 490 recessed inward from the end of the housing 401 adjacent the body portion. The housing includes a front segment 481 and a rear segment 482.

[0041] The first connecting portion 201 includes a guide segment 431 and a hollow segment 432, with the guide segment 431 adjacent to the second end 442 and the hollow segment adjacent to the first end 441. The guide segment 431 is composed of a housing front segment 481 and a fastener mounting block 402 disposed therein, the fastener mounting block 402 being connected to the housing 401 and filling the space within the front segment 481, such that the guide segment 431 forms a solid body. The fastener mounting block 402 is provided with a threaded hole extending axially therethrough to allow a fastener to pass therethrough.

[0042] The hollow segment 432 has a receiving cavity 450 that extends radially through a sidewall of the hollow segment 432, thereby forming a window 460. The window 460 allows an operator to conveniently manipulate the fastener 431.

[0043] The fastener 421 includes a head 425 and a body 426. The head 425 has a larger diameter, and the body 426, connected to the head 425, has a smaller diameter. The head 426 is provided with a thread on the outside, which can mate with the threaded hole in the body and the threaded hole in the fastener mounting block 402. The body 426 has a longer axial length than the fastener mounting block 402, so that the fastener 421 can pass through the fastener mounting block 402 and enter the body 202. The fastener 421 is disposed within the first connecting portion 201, with its head located within the hollow segment and its body passing through the guide segment 431. An operator can manipulate the head 425 through the window 460, resulting in the fastener 421 moving axially relative to the first connecting portion 201. The head can enter the threaded hole in the body 202, thereby connecting the first connecting portion 201 to the body 202.

[0044] In the present application, to facilitate the attachment of the fastener 421, the first connecting portion 201 is provided with a removable fastener mounting block 402, and the fastener 421 is first fitted into the fastener mounting block 402, and then the fastener mounting block 402 and the fastener 421 are fitted together into the housing 401. The fastener mounting block 402 can be fixedly connected to the housing 401 by welding, screw connection, or the like.

[0045] In the present application, the guide segment 431 has a certain length to ensure that the fastener 421 does not easily tilt due to axial movement during rotation, so that the first connecting portion 201 and the main body portion 202 are easy to mate with and separate from each other. In one embodiment of the present application, the length of the guide segment 431 is 30 mm or more.

[0046] In the present application, the engagement between the convex portion and the concave portion prevents relative rotation between the main body portion 202 and the first connecting portion 201. When the support rod rotates, the first connecting portion 201 does not rely on threads or other connection methods but mainly relies on the engagement between the convex portion and the concave portion to drive the main body portion 202, thereby preventing loosening or tightening due to the action of force when the support rod rotates.

[0047] The structure of second connecting portion 203 is similar to that of first connecting portion 201, and therefore description thereof will not be repeated here.

[0048] In the present application, the length of the main body portion 202 is substantially equal to the distance between the stencil supports 112 and 113. The cleaning paper roll is wound around the main body portion 202, and the joint between the main body portion 202 and the first connecting portion 201 or the second connecting portion 203 is not covered by the cleaning paper roll, or is only slightly covered by the cleaning paper roll. That is, the length of the main body portion 202 is equal to or greater than the width of the cleaning paper in the axial direction of the support rod, or is slightly smaller than the width of the cleaning paper. Therefore, the main body portion 202 can be easily removed and attached, and interference with the cleaning paper roll during removal and attachment can be avoided.

[0049] In this application, elastic elements are provided at the two ends of the support rod, and these elastic elements can move a small distance in the axial direction, but this is not enough to directly pull the support rod out of the device. When it is necessary to disassemble the support rod, the fasteners 421 in the first connecting portion 201 and the second connecting portion 203 are rotated so that they move away from the main body portion 202, and then the main body portion 202 is moved a very small distance in the axial direction so that its recessed portion moves away from the protruding portion of the corresponding connecting portion, and then moved in the opposite direction. This allows the main body portion 202 to be disassembled. Then, the cleaning paper roll wound around the main body portion 202 can be replaced.

[0050] The support rod in this application can be easily removed and installed without moving the stencil support, and can accommodate high processing precision requirements.

[0051] FIG. 5 is a schematic diagram of the solder paste printer of the present application. Referring to FIGS. 1A and 5, the solder paste printer includes a pair of stencil supports 112 and 113 disposed opposite each other, with a stencil mounting space 115 formed between the stencil supports 112 and 113. The stencil mounting space 115 is used to mount a stencil. A solder application device 501 is located above the stencil mounting space 115. A cleaning paper roll device 502 is located below the stencil mounting space 115. The cleaning paper roll device includes a pair of support rods 101 and 102 and a cleaning paper roll wound around the support rods 101 and 102. The axial directions of the support rods 101 and 102 are substantially perpendicular to the extension direction of the stencil supports 112 and 113. The main body portions 202 of the support rods 101 and 102 are located directly below the stencil mounting space. At least a portion of the first connecting portion 201 and at least a portion of the second connecting portion 203 are located directly below the stencil supports 112 and 113, with the inner end of the first connecting portion 201 extending beyond the inner edge of the stencil support 112 or being flush with the inner edge of the stencil support 112, and the inner end of the second connecting portion 203 extending beyond the inner edge of the stencil support 113 or being flush with the inner edge of the stencil support 113. Once the main body portion 202 is separated from the first connecting portion 201 and the second connecting portion 202, an operator can pull the main body portion 202 out from above the stencil mounting space 115.
