The magnetic tool of surface mounting process for flexible circuit board and use thereof
[technical field]
The present invention relates to the manufacturing technology of printed substrate, the magnetic tool that relates in particular to a kind of surface mounting process for flexible circuit board and use in this technique.
[background technology]
Flexible Printed Circuit (FPC) has the features such as distribution density is high, lightweight, thin thickness, is mainly used in a lot of products such as mobile phone, notebook computer, PDA, digital camera.The surface mounting technology of Flexible Printed Circuit (SMT) process mainly comprises paste solder printing, mounts and three basic links such as Reflow Soldering.Paste solder printing refers to that the mould printing that tin cream is passed through to predetermined pattern is to the weld pad of circuit board; Paster is that surface-assembled components and parts are accurately installed on the fixed position of Flexible Printed Circuit; Reflow Soldering refers to that dissolving tin cream makes to realize machinery between electronic devices and components pin and circuit board welding pad and be connected with electrical equipment.
In these links, to paste solder printing figure, paster all has point-device requirement, once paste solder printing figure, patch location are not accurate enough, by the bad connection causing between electronic devices and components pin and flexible circuit board weld pad, cause that product rejection maybe needs the processing of doing over again.Surface mount process completes in Flexible Printed Circuit, so will accurately locate Flexible Printed Circuit, the surface-pasted quality of guarantee like this, yet FPC itself is soft, its mechanical strength high not, so its position is more difficult more fixing than common PCB, in order to prevent that in surface mount process, distortion appears in Flexible Printed Circuit, guarantee the accuracy of paste solder printing and patch location, conventionally pending surface-pasted Flexible Printed Circuit fixed placement is carried out to surface mount processing procedure on a loading plate again.What current industrial application was more has two kinds by Flexible Printed Circuit fixed placement in the method for loading plate, the first, loading plate surrounding is posted resistant to elevated temperatures Double-face gummed paper with fixing four limits of Flexible Printed Circuit, but this kind of method be the middle part of Flexible Printed Circuit fixedly, make floating the sticking up of Flexible Printed Circuit of intermediate sector, so that after surface adhered with electronic component there is the phenomenons such as sky welds, bridge joint is bad in Flexible Printed Circuit middle part; The second, loading plate surface arranges a layer of silica gel, make flexible circuit board centre and four limits all be fixed on loading plate, but this kind of method is at the beginning of loading plate is used, the viscosity of its layer of silica gel can be higher, Flexible Printed Circuit is difficult to again FPC and loading plate to peel off after by soldering furnace like this, get when attached and easily lose, and the upper residual jelly of FPC is easily stained with dust and contaminated.Layer of silica gel is in being repeatedly used process, and the viscosity of layer of silica gel can step-down,, when the viscosity of silica gel is too low, fixedly FPC owes firmly, easily causes FPC to misplace.
Therefore be necessary to provide a kind of fully fixedly Flexible Printed Circuit, and prevent that the surface mount that Flexible Printed Circuit produces deformation in surface mount processing procedure from taking up tool.
China national Department of Intellectual Property discloses the fixture (publication number: CN200944704 of a kind of flexible circuit board (FPC) dress coupling, open day: 2007.09.05), it is characterized in that: described fixture comprises: cover plate and support plate, cover plate is the ferromagnetic material sheet metal of elastically deformable, when being on the cover board provided with alignment pin and joining for flexible circuit board dress, need exposed slotted eye, when being provided with the location hole corresponding with alignment pin and joining for flexible circuit board dress on support plate, need exposed slotted eye, on support plate, be also provided with one group of permanent magnets, alignment pin coordinates with location hole, permanent magnets and cover plate are integral by magnetic attracting.
This fixture with respect to first two adopt gluing method fixedly Flexible Printed Circuit have simple in structure, quick during use, convenient, good reliability, highly versatile, the feature such as can be repeatedly used, production efficiency is provided, has saved production cost, improved the acceptance rate of product simultaneously.Yet in this utility model, described cover plate must be the sheet metal of ferromagnetic material, and this thin plate also has certain mechanical strength, common iron plate is because its toughness is inadequate, the words of thickness too thin (being less than 0.1mm), easily fracture, this makes in getting additive process very difficult, human cost improves greatly, its useful life is also very short simultaneously, if thickness too thick (being greater than 0.1mm), if just fix Flexible Printed Circuit with cover plate and support plate in the paste solder printing stage, can affect its printing quality, cause tin cream skewness, affect follow-up technique.So the technique having adopted in the industry is at present: one deck viscose paper is set on support plate, FPC is bonded on support plate, then carry out paste solder printing technique, cover plate is placed on above FPC after paste solder printing is complete again, carry out paster and reflow soldering process.So this technology is actually a kind of improvement for said method two, by cover plate, FPC is pushed down to solve the problem on deformation of FPC in paster and reflow process.In this process, using viscose paper one deck layer of silica gel to be set on support plate in having method two has same drawback, so want fundamentally to solve the series of problems of above-mentioned appearance, must adopt a kind of new magnetic material sheet metal as cover plate.
Owing to having adopted cover plate that FPC is covered, in paste solder printing, one deck steel mesh need to be on the cover board set, and cover plate has certain thickness, if silk screen is directly overlayed on steel plate, can make the upper tin cream of FPC too much, affect follow-up paster and reflow soldering process, thereby affect the quality of whole attachment process.So steel mesh must be removed to certain thickness, the quality of the whole technique of guarantee.
