Embodiment
Fig. 1 is the schematic diagram of prior art.As shown in Figure 1, first by the element 21 of PCB 22 upward and be arranged on the epicoele of box body 20, namely the back side of pcb board 22 is towards the cavity of resorption of box body 20, and box body cavity of resorption place is provided with perforate 23; Then on element, resin 24 is added; Again process solidification is carried out to resin 24, and the gas 28 being positioned at cavity of resorption produced in process is discharged along arrow 25 direction from perforate 23; Finally perforate 23 is sealed.The gas produced during resin solidification is discharged and follow-up sealing by this patent, has discharged gas and has prevented again wet gas passing hole to enter in box body.But this patent process is the gas produced in the resin solidification stage.
Fig. 2 to Fig. 4 B is the schematic diagram of the first embodiment of the present invention, as figure provides a kind of circuit board protection kit 1, usually protection box body 1 also has link 5 to realize PERCOM peripheral communication.This protection box 1 comprises: for placing and the brace table 7 of support circuit plate 2, described protection box 1 is separated and is formed filling chamber 10 and the air chamber 8 of gas connection by described brace table 7; The packing material 9 that in described filling chamber 10, accommodation is stated circuit board 2 to some extent and is encapsulated in by described circuit board 2 in the filling chamber 10 of described protection box 1; Exhaust passage 3, described exhaust passage 3 has the air inlet area 31 being positioned at air chamber 8; Wherein: described exhaust passage 3 also has the exhaust area 32 being positioned at described filling chamber 10, when not dosing packing material 9, described exhaust passage 3 gas is communicated with described air chamber 8 and fills chamber 10, when complete dose packing material 9 time, described exhaust area 32 cover by described packing material 9 sealing.
In a first embodiment, exhaust passage 3 is the exhaust passage 3 of hole shape, as shown is the hole of L shape, and the one end in described L shape hole is arranged in described air chamber 8 as inlet end 31, and its other end is arranged in described filling chamber 10 as exhaust end 32.Wherein filling chamber 10 comprises the fill area 4 above the exhaust end 32 being positioned at exhaust passage 3.Therefore, when not having packing material 9, as shown in Figures 2 and 3, exhaust passage 3 is communicated with filling chamber 10 and air chamber 8, and the gas in air chamber 8 can be discharged to along exhaust passage 3 fills chamber 10, reaches emptying.And when entering initial stage and the mid-term in filling stage, as shown in Figure 4 A, owing to adopting the hole of L shape, exhaust passage 3 still can be communicated with above-mentioned two chambeies, reaches the object of emission gases 11.When continuing to fill with the thickness reaching required dimensional packaged circuit board; due to above exhaust end 32 (in the side that namely gas is discharged) be positioned at fill the fill area 4 in chamber 10 be also filled material 9 cover sealing; therefore exhaust passage 3 is no longer communicated with the external world; reach the object of finally sealed, prevent outside air and dust etc. from again entering in protection box.
Preferred using method is, the filling position of packing material is the opposite side being positioned at described exhaust passage.Due to the viscosity of packing material, it is by progressively close to the side being positioned at exhaust passage, and in the process can enter from exhaust passage discharged to the gas of air chamber and fill chamber, be i.e. in the air of top.When packing material reaches the side of exhaust passage, because exhaust passage is L shape, therefore its exhaust end can't seal by packing material, and the packing material of viscosity is pushed the gas entering air chamber and still can be discharged to outside chamber.When packing material be accumulated at exhaust passage place gradually to reach above it and to cover sealing time, the gas be pushed through in air chamber is discharged completely, even if packing material all seals the exhaust end of exhaust passage, also will not have gas and discharges and form bubble.Therefore structure of the present invention and the opposite side in exhaust passage are filled, and both ensure that speed and the time of filling, also ensure that the gas purging time simultaneously, to reach the object preventing bubble.
The technique effect that visible said structure completes in the filling stage while of in use achieving exhaust and sealing; gas in protection box can be avoided to form bubble at packing material; such as resin material, also can avoid the additional process of shutoff steam vent after completing encapsulation simultaneously.
As preferred embodiment, the exhaust end 32 of described L shape exhaust passage 3 be usually located at upper surface near described packing material 9 and be filled with a sealing by described packing material 9.This set when filling cohesive material, can extend the gas purging time, make by fill chamber enter the gas of air chamber can smooth discharge.And simultaneously, be positioned at the fill area 4 for covering sealing exhaust end 32 of filling chamber 10 also need there is rational area and thickness, to ensure the thorough sealing to exhaust passage, prevent the generation of bubble and extraneous intrusion.
As further preferred, the electric component 12 on described circuit board 2 is arranged in described air chamber 8, and is electrically connected with the external world by the pin 6 being positioned at link 5.In preferred mode, electric component 12, towards air chamber below, avoids the direct effect of same packing material, it also avoid the stress to electric component pin that packing material produces in solidification simultaneously.Electric component 12 is protected more perfect.Meanwhile, the electric component 12 towards air chamber also occupies the volume of air chamber, and inner air is reduced, and this also reduces gas in solidification process and to expand because being heated produced pressure, make the dimensional packaged circuit board that packing material is more airtight.
Fig. 2 to 4B display be the first embodiment of exhaust passage adopting L shape hole.As disclosed other specific embodiment, shown exhaust passage can also be the hole of other shape or the combination in groove or groove and hole.Conceivable, described flute profile exhaust passage is the straight-line groove being located at connection described filling chamber on described box body and described air chamber.Because the curvature of groove is less, the packing material of viscosity cannot seal in filling process in the early stage, and therefore it still can continue to discharge cavity of resorption, the gas namely in air chamber, and when packing material reaches to when completing encapsulation after certain thickness, groove is capped and with extraneous sealing.
As shown in Figure 5, as an embodiment, the combination shape exhaust passage of described hole and groove is that the hole shape part being positioned at described brace table less than 7 forms with the flute profile incorporating aspects being positioned at more than described brace table.This combination also has above-mentioned technical characteristic essence and can solve existing technical problem.Gas in air chamber is entered by hole shape part and discharges from the part of flute profile.This kind of structure makes box body processing more simple, and structure is compacter.
As another kind of embodiment, described protection box comprises the situation in L shape hole described at least one.Fig. 6 reality be the situation with 3 L shape holes.Certainly, as improvement, exhaust passage also can be a L shape passage with larger aperture area, such as rectangular inlet port and exhaust outlet.
