Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は、連続熱処理炉等に用いられる両面熱処理用コンベアに関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、電子部品用各種基板は、その製造過程において例えば表面に印刷されたペースト等の焼成のための熱処理がなされるが、電子部品の両面実装化に伴い、両面熱処理されるのが一般的となっている。この両面熱処理は、所定構造の熱処理炉により行われるが、この熱処理炉内にワークを搬送する手段として、通常、両面熱処理用コンベアが用いられている。ここで前記コンベアとしては、一般に金属メッシュベルトが多用され、この金属メッシュベルトを構成する材質には、一般に耐熱鋼が用いられている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しょうとする課題】
ところが前記金属メッシュベルトを搬送帯として使用した両面熱処理用コンベアには、次の▲1▼〜▲3▼で示すような不具合があった。すなわち、
▲1▼前記金属メッシュベルトを構成する耐熱鋼も約1200℃を超える高温域では、使用できない。
▲2▼ワーク熱処理時、炉内を移動する搬送帯から酸化スケール、磨耗粉等の金属スケールが発生しやすく、これらの金属スケールなどの異物がワーク表面に付着して前記ワークを汚染するおそれがある。このことは、電子部品などにとってはきわめて好ましくない。
▲3▼ワークの両面全面を均等に熱処理するためには、ワークを前記金属メッシュベルト面から一定の高さに浮かせた状態に支持して熱処理する必要があり、このためのワーク浮かし治具もしくはワークを載せるトレーが不可欠となる。したがって、コストアップとなるのみならず、生産効率が低くなるという不具合がある。
【0004】
この発明は、従来の両面熱処理用コンベアが有していた不具合を解決するためになされたものであって、その目的は、高温での使用温度域を広げ、金属スケールなどの異物付着によるワークの汚染を防止し、かつワークの浮かし治具等を不要とする両面熱処理用コンベアを提供することにある。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
そこで前記した目的を達成するため、この発明にかかる両面熱処理用コンベアは、熱処理炉内をエンドレスに移動可能な搬送要素を備え、この搬送要素により前記熱処理炉内に搬送されるワークの両面を同時に熱処理できるように構成された両面熱処理用コンベアであって、
前記搬送要素が、セラミックにより構成されるとともに、
互いに対向させた複数対のリンクプレートと、隣り合う前記複数対のリンクプレートを搬送方向に連結するピンと、前記ピンに回転自在に嵌合されたローラとを含み、
前記リンクプレートは、上面に前記ワークの側端部に点接触または線接触して当該ワークを支持するためのワーク受け部が形成された複数対のリンクプレートを含み、
前記ローラは、ピンの軸心に対して下方へ偏心的に支持されるローラ中央部と、このローラ中央部の両側に配置され、かつ前記ピンの軸心と同軸的に支持されるローラ両側部とから構成されていることを特徴としている(請求項1)。
【0006】
前記構成にかかる両面熱処理用コンベア(請求項1)では、セラミックによって搬送要素を構成したことにより、高温での使用温度域を広げることができるとともに、金属スケールなどの異物が生じることがないので、異物付着によるワークの汚染を防止することができる。また、前記ワークの側端部に点接触または線接触して当該ワークを支持するためのワーク受け部を前記リンクプレートの上面に形成したことにより、当該搬送要素のワーク表面との干渉を極力回避した状態でワークを支持してその両面熱処理を行うことができる。さらに、前記ローラ中央部が、ピンの軸心に対して下方へ偏心的に支持されるので、ワークの裏面側に入った連続熱処理炉内の熱が中央部分から両側部分に拡散されて前記ワークを均等に熱処理しやすくなる。
【0007】
また、上記両面熱処理用コンベア(請求項1)において、前記ワーク受け部が、前記リンクプレートの上面に形成されたテーパ面により構成されることが好ましい(請求項2)。この場合、前記テーパ面がワークの側端部と線接触した状態でそのワークを支持する。
【0008】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、この発明にかかる両面熱処理用コンベアの好ましい実施形態について、図面を参照しながら説明する。
図1は、この発明の一実施形態による両面熱処理用コンベアの要部拡大平面図である。図2は同じく両面熱処理用コンベアの要部を搬送方向から見た側面図であり、図3は図2におけるワーク受け部近傍を示す拡大図である。
【0009】
図1において、搬送要素1は、例えば連続熱処理炉内をエンドレスに移動可能なものであり、この搬送要素1により前記連続熱処理炉内に搬送される電子部品用基板等のワークWの両面を同時に熱処理できるように構成された両面熱処理用コンベアに用いられている。具体的には、この搬送要素1は、連続熱処理炉の出入口に配した前記のコンベアの駆動輪と従動輪(いずれもスプロケットホイールなどであって、図示は省略)との間に掛け渡され、前記連続熱処理炉内をエンドレスに移動する。なお、同図に示す搬送要素1は、この発明の理解を容易にするため、その一部を抜粋した例示にすぎず、実際の両面熱処理用コンベアにおいては、前記搬送要素1と同様のものが複数、前記駆動輪と従動輪との間に掛け渡され、並列に配置されて使用される。
【0010】
前記搬送要素1は、セラミックにより構成されたものであり、リンクプレートとしての内リンクプレート2及び外リンクプレート3と、ローラ4と、ピン5とを含んでいる。この搬送要素1の基本的な構成は、通常のチェーン構造のものと比べ、なんら異なるものではない。
具体的には、前記搬送要素1において、前記内リンクプレート2は、互いに対向するものどうしが対をなして搬送方向に複数対配置されている。また、前記外リンクプレート3は、隣り合う前記内リンクプレート2の相互間に対をなして対向配置されている。また、前記内リンクプレート2と外リンクプレート3とは、前記ピン5で連結されている。このピン5には、対向配置された一対の内リンクプレート2の間でローラ4が回転自在に嵌合されている。尚、搬送要素1に用いるセラミックの材質は、アルミナ、ジルコニア、炭化珪素など多くのうちから、両面熱処理の対象となるワークWの熱処理温度の上限を考慮し、セラミックに求められる耐熱、耐磨耗及び耐腐食性などを考慮して適宜選択されている。
【0011】
また、図2に示すように、前記ローラ4は、例えばピン5の軸心に対して下方へ偏心的に支持されるローラ中央部4aと、このローラ中央部4aの両側に配置され、かつ前記ピン5の軸心と同軸的に支持されるローラ両側部4b、4bとから構成され、前記搬送要素1が走行する際、ローラ両側部4b、4bがコンベアのレール8上を滑動するようになっている。ここで、前記ローラ中央部4aとワークWとの間における空間は、ローラ両側部4bとワークWとの間における空間に比べ、かなり広めになるように設定されており、前記ワークWの裏面側に入った連続熱処理炉内の熱が中央部分から両側部分に拡散されて前記ワークWを均等に熱処理しやすくなっている。
【0012】
そして、前記搬送要素1は、前記した連続熱処理炉の出入口に配した駆動輪と従動輪との間に所定のテンションでエンドレスに掛け渡されるが、この際、前記駆動輪及び従動輪の歯部に前記搬送要素1を構成するローラ4のローラ両側部4b、4bをそれぞれ、噛合させ、前記駆動輪の回転駆動により、前記搬送要素1が前記連続熱処理炉内を搬送方向へエンドレスに移動し、搬送されるワークWの両面熱処理が行われる。
【0013】
前記内リンクプレート2の上面には、ワーク受け部としてのテーパ面6が形成されている。このテーパ面6は、図2及び3に示すように、前記の上面にテーパ加工を施して、例えば前記搬送要素1の幅方向内向きに下り勾配となるよう形成されたものであり、ワークWの側端部に搬送方向で線接触して当該ワークWを支持している。このようなテーパ面6を形成したことにより、例えば図3に示したように、当該テーパ面6とワークWの側端部との間に隙間7が形成され、ワークWはその裏面のほぼ全面が搬送要素1と非接触の状態で支持されて、両面熱処理が行われる。尚、この搬送要素1では、ワークWの裏面が外リンクプレート3の上面に面接触せずに、そのワークWの側端部がテーパ面6と線接触するように、一対の内及び外リンクプレート2,3の各幅寸法等がワークWの幅寸法に応じて調整されている。
【0014】
上記のように構成された本実施形態の両面熱処理用コンベアでは、搬送要素1がセラミックにより構成されているので、前述の従来例での金属メッシュベルトに比べて高温での使用温度域を広げることができる。また、前記金属メッシュベルトのものと異なり、金属スケールなどの異物が生じることがないので、異物付着によるワークの汚染を防止することができる。従って、得られる製品の信頼度を格段に向上することができる。
また、テーパ面6が内リンクプレート2の上面に形成されているので、当該搬送要素1のワークWの表面(裏面)との干渉を極力回避した状態でワークWを支持してその両面熱処理を行うことができる。その結果、従来例での浮かし治具やトレイが不要となり、部品点数の削減を図ることができ、作業効率が格段に向上し、メンテナンスも少なくてすむ。
【0015】
尚、上記の説明では、内リンクプレート2の上面にワーク受け部としてのテーパ面6を設けた構成について説明したが、この発明はこれに限定されるものではなく、例えばワーク受け部は前記ワークWの側端部に点接触または線接触して当該ワークWを支持するものであればよい。具体的には、図4に示すように、外リンクプレート3の上面に前記搬送要素1の幅方向内向きに下り勾配となるテーパ面6をワーク受け部として形成してもよい。このように外リンクプレート3の上面にテーパ面6を形成した場合では、ワークWの裏面が内リンクプレート2の上面に面接触しないように、一対の内及び外リンクプレート2,3の各幅寸法等がワークWの幅寸法に応じて調整される。また、前記線接触に代えて点接触してワークWを支持するものであってもよく、この場合上記テーパ面6に代えて、針状、半球状等の突起を内リンクプレート2又は外リンクプレート3に形成すればよい。
【0016】
【発明の効果】
以上のように構成された本発明は以下の効果を奏する。請求項1の両面熱処理用コンベアによれば、搬送要素がセラミックにより構成されているので、高温での使用温度域を広げることができるとともに、金属スケールなどの異物が生じることがないので、異物付着によるワークの汚染を防止することができる。また、前記リンクプレートの上面には、ワークの側端部に点接触または線接触して当該ワークを支持するためのワーク受け部が形成されているので、当該搬送要素のワーク表面との干渉を極力回避した状態でワークを支持してその両面熱処理を行うことができる。さらに、従来より用いられている浮かし治具やトレーが不要となることで、部品点数の削減や作業効率の向上が図られる。しかも、前記搬送要素のローラ中央部が、ピンの軸心に対して下方へ偏心的に支持されるので、ワークの裏面側に入った連続熱処理炉内の熱が中央部分から両側部分に拡散されて前記ワークを均等に熱処理しやすくなる。
【0017】
また、請求項2の両面熱処理用コンベアによれば、テーパ面がワークの側端部と線接触した状態でそのワークを支持するので、簡単な構成で浮かし治具等を用いることなく当該搬送要素のワーク表面との干渉を極力回避した状態として、ワークの両面熱処理を行うことができる。

In FIG. 1, a transport element 1 can move endlessly in a continuous heat treatment furnace, for example, and both surfaces of a workpiece W such as an electronic component substrate transported into the continuous heat treatment furnace by the transport element 1 simultaneously. It is used for a double-sided heat treatment conveyor configured to be heat-treated. Specifically, the conveying element 1 is stretched between a driving wheel and a driven wheel (both are sprocket wheels and the like, not shown) of the conveyor disposed at the entrance and exit of the continuous heat treatment furnace, It moves endlessly in the continuous heat treatment furnace. In addition, in order to make this invention easy to understand, the conveying element 1 shown in the figure is only an example of a part of the excerpt, and in an actual double-sided heat treatment conveyor, the same conveying element 1 is used. A plurality are used between the driving wheel and the driven wheel and arranged in parallel.
[0010]
The conveying element 1 is made of ceramic and includes an inner link plate 2 and an outer link plate 3 as link plates, a roller 4 and a pin 5. The basic structure of the conveying element 1 is not different from that of a normal chain structure.
Specifically, in the transport element 1, a plurality of inner link plates 2 are arranged in the transport direction in pairs that are opposed to each other. The outer link plates 3 are arranged to face each other in pairs between the adjacent inner link plates 2. The inner link plate 2 and the outer link plate 3 are connected by the pin 5. A roller 4 is rotatably fitted to the pin 5 between a pair of inner link plates 2 arranged to face each other. The material of the ceramic used for the conveying element 1 is, among many, such as alumina, zirconia, silicon carbide and the like, considering the upper limit of the heat treatment temperature of the workpiece W to be subjected to the double-side heat treatment, the heat resistance and wear resistance required for the ceramic. In addition, it is appropriately selected in consideration of corrosion resistance and the like.
[0011]
As shown in FIG. 2, the roller 4 is, for example, a roller center portion 4a that is eccentrically supported downward with respect to the axis of the pin 5, and is disposed on both sides of the roller center portion 4a. It comprises roller both sides 4b and 4b supported coaxially with the axis of the pin 5, and when the conveying element 1 travels, the rollers both sides 4b and 4b slide on the rail 8 of the conveyor. ing. Here, the space between the roller central portion 4a and the workpiece W is set to be considerably wider than the space between the roller side portions 4b and the workpiece W, and the back side of the workpiece W is The heat in the continuous heat treatment furnace that has entered is diffused from the central part to both side parts, so that the workpiece W is easily heat-treated evenly.
[0012]
The conveying element 1 is stretched endlessly with a predetermined tension between the driving wheel and the driven wheel disposed at the entrance and exit of the continuous heat treatment furnace. At this time, the tooth portions of the driving wheel and the driven wheel The roller both sides 4b and 4b of the roller 4 constituting the conveying element 1 are meshed with each other, and the conveying element 1 moves endlessly in the conveying direction in the continuous heat treatment furnace by rotational driving of the driving wheel, A double-sided heat treatment is performed on the workpiece W to be conveyed.
[0013]
On the upper surface of the inner link plate 2, a tapered surface 6 is formed as a work receiving portion. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the tapered surface 6 is formed such that the upper surface is tapered to have a downward slope inward in the width direction of the conveying element 1, for example. The workpiece W is supported in line contact with the side end of the workpiece in the conveying direction. By forming such a tapered surface 6, for example, as shown in FIG. 3, a gap 7 is formed between the tapered surface 6 and the side end of the workpiece W, and the workpiece W is substantially the entire back surface thereof. Is supported in a non-contact state with the conveying element 1, and a double-sided heat treatment is performed. In this conveying element 1, a pair of inner and outer links are provided such that the side end of the workpiece W is in line contact with the tapered surface 6 without the back surface of the workpiece W being in surface contact with the upper surface of the outer link plate 3. Each width dimension of the plates 2 and 3 is adjusted according to the width dimension of the workpiece W.

In the double-sided heat treatment conveyor of the present embodiment configured as described above, since the transport element 1 is made of ceramic, the use temperature range at a high temperature is widened compared to the metal mesh belt in the above-described conventional example. Can do. Further, unlike the metal mesh belt, foreign matter such as a metal scale is not generated, so that contamination of the workpiece due to foreign matter adhesion can be prevented. Therefore, the reliability of the obtained product can be remarkably improved.
Further, since the taper surface 6 is formed on the upper surface of the inner link plate 2, the workpiece W is supported in a state where interference with the surface (back surface) of the workpiece W of the transport element 1 is avoided as much as possible, and both-side heat treatment is performed. It can be carried out. As a result, the lifting jig and tray in the conventional example are not required, the number of parts can be reduced, the working efficiency is remarkably improved, and the maintenance is also reduced.

However, the present invention is not limited to this, and for example, the workpiece receiving portion is the workpiece. What is necessary is just to support the said work W by carrying out a point contact or a line contact to the side edge part of W. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 4, a tapered surface 6 having a downward gradient inward in the width direction of the transport element 1 may be formed on the upper surface of the outer link plate 3 as a work receiving portion. When the tapered surface 6 is formed on the upper surface of the outer link plate 3 as described above, the widths of the pair of inner and outer link plates 2 and 3 are set so that the back surface of the work W does not come into surface contact with the upper surface of the inner link plate 2. The dimensions and the like are adjusted according to the width dimension of the workpiece W. Further, instead of the line contact, a point contact may be used to support the workpiece W. In this case, instead of the tapered surface 6, needle-like or hemispherical projections are provided on the inner link plate 2 or the outer link. What is necessary is just to form in the plate 3. FIG.

According to the double-side heat treatment conveyor of claim 1, since the conveying element is made of ceramic, it is possible to widen the operating temperature range at high temperature and to prevent foreign matters such as metal scales from being produced. It is possible to prevent the workpiece from being contaminated. In addition, since the work receiving part for supporting the work by making point contact or line contact with the side end part of the work is formed on the upper surface of the link plate, interference with the work surface of the transport element is prevented. The workpiece can be supported and subjected to double-sided heat treatment while avoiding as much as possible. Furthermore, since the conventionally used floating jig and tray are not required, the number of parts can be reduced and the work efficiency can be improved. In addition, since the roller central portion of the conveying element is eccentrically supported downward with respect to the axis of the pin, the heat in the continuous heat treatment furnace that has entered the back side of the workpiece is diffused from the central portion to both side portions. Thus, the workpiece can be easily heat-treated evenly.
