The present invention relates to printed circuit board technology field, specially a kind of peelable blue glue plug socket tools and peelable blue glue method for plugging.The present invention passes through setting compressed air cell and aeroscopic plate, compressed air is inputted to compressed air cell so that the air of certain pressure exports from compressed air cell and pass through the through-hole of the air guiding through hole introducing PCB production plate of aeroscopic plate, when the peelable blue glue of silk-screen, it is flow to peelable blue glue at the via bottoms aperture resistance upward by compressed air, can prevent peelable blue glue from flowing to outside through-hole by the balance of gravity and resistance.Setting is stacked in the air guide gauze pad plate between aeroscopic plate and compressed air cell simultaneously, the air-flow for entering aeroscopic plate can be balanced and stablized by air guide gauze pad plate, make the steady air current for eventually entering into PCB production each through-hole of plate, to make the surfacing of peelable blue glue clogged at through-hole aperture.

Description

A kind of peelable blue glue plug socket tools and peelable blue glue method for plugging
Technical field
The present invention relates to printed circuit board technology fields, more particularly to a kind of peelable blue glue plug socket tools and peelable indigo plant Glue method for plugging.
Background technique
The peelable blue glue for being covered on body surface generally plays the role of insulation, moisture-proof and protection.It is raw in the field PCB Produce in manufacturing process need on part producing plate the peelable blue glue of silk-screen, mainly play following both sides, on finished product can Remove blue glue in PCB the golden finger through being can effectively protect during wave-soldering on PCB again after Reflow Soldering, and prevent from being not required to The pad of scolding tin is wanted to be polluted by scolding tin;Peelable blue glue is printed before spraying tin processing, golden finger can be protected not dirty in spray tin process Dye.
The processing flow of the peelable blue glue of silk-screen and requirement are general as follows on production plate.1, silk screen mesh require 18~ The nylon mesh of 24T prints, and the peelable blue glue of silk-screen requires printing glue surface smooth, and thickness (can also uniformly be printed with steel mesh, aluminium sheet Brush).2, the thickness of peelable blue offset printing brush, print is primary, after dry peelable blue glue with a thickness of 200~400 μm, after dry Thickness is not lower than 200 μm, and the thickness of peelable indigo plant glue reaches 400~1000 μm after secondary printing, and the thickness after drying is not answered Lower than 400 μm;Printing secondary technique is first printing blue glue peelable for the first time, and 10min is then baked in 150 DEG C of oven, Again by second of technique print peelable blue glue after roasting.3, peelable blue adhesive curing temperature and time: as used print primary peelable The technique of blue glue, then oven bakes 30min, such as using the technique for printing secondary peelable blue glue, then in the case where 150 DEG C of constant temperature Oven bakes 45~50 min in the case where 150 DEG C of constant temperature.4, peelable blue glue tin spray process requirement: tin furnace is 240~280 In the case where DEG C, the control of wicking time is usually no more than 15S in 2~10S, and hot blast temperature is 330~400 DEG C, and hot-blast pressure is 2.5~4.5Kg/ ㎝3
It, can normal mode of printing silk-screen directly on production plate for the production plate of set through-hole aperture < 4.0mm Peelable indigo plant glue is to complete peelable blue rubber plug hole and printing, but for the production plate of set through-hole aperture >=4.0mm, in life When producing on plate with peelable blue rubber plug hole and printing, need first in the back side patch of production plate with heat-resisting and with not falling colloidality energy Then adhesive tape keeps through-hole ventilative in the aperture hole Chu Zha of each through-hole with prong by hand to make peelable indigo plant glue in printing process Can flow into through-hole, avoid causing because aperture is excessive by this method in printing process it is peelable indigo plant glue below through-hole Aperture outflow causes aperture contaminated nearby, needs manual tearing-off adhesive tape after peelable indigo plant glue filling through-hole and baking sheet.For set The processing flow of through-hole aperture >=4.0mm production plate, the peelable blue glue of existing silk-screen is cumbersome, low efficiency hand-manipulated, and has There is adhesive tape that is heat-resisting and not falling colloidality energy more expensive, increases the production cost of PCB.
Summary of the invention
The present invention is directed to the production plate of set through-hole aperture >=4.0mm, when with peelable blue rubber plug hole and printing, existing side Method there are processing flows cumbersome, low efficiency, problem at high cost provide a kind of use in the peelable blue glue of silk-screen on producing plate Peelable blue glue plug socket tools, and provide the side that a kind of application jig carries out peelable blue rubber plug hole on production plate Method.
To achieve the above object, the present invention uses following technical scheme.
