Hereinafter, preferred embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
FIG. 1 is a side view showing a configuration of a main part of a repair device according to the present invention. In this repair device, the printed circuit board 1 is placed and fixed on a support base 11 erected on the lower base 10, and the BGA 2 that is an electronic component is removed and attached to the printed circuit board 1.

  This repair device has a built-in heating means (not shown) that generates high-temperature hot air for melting the bumps 3 that are solder joints provided on the lower surface side of the BGA 2, and the hot air generated from the heating means. H is jetted from the upper nozzle 13 protruding from the upper base 12 and the lower nozzle 14 protruding from the lower base 10 disposed above the printed circuit board 1 toward the BGA 2.

  In this repair device, a component holding means 15 for holding the BGA 2 is provided at the tip of the upper nozzle 13. The component holding means 15 includes a pressing member 16 that holds the substantially central portion of the BGA 2 from the upper surface side, a plurality of movable arm members 17 that are engaged with the end portions of the BGA 2 and hold the BGA 2 therebetween, and It is comprised.

  The movable arm member 17 is rotatably provided so as to open and close with the shaft portion 18 as a fulcrum corresponding to the corner portion of the BGA 2, and the distal end portion 17 a is bent in a bowl shape to be attached to the end portion of the BGA 2. The BGA 2 is engaged and held from the lower surface side. Here, it is assumed that the movable arm member 17 can variably adjust the thickness of the tip end portion 17 a that enters between the BGA 2 and the printed circuit board 1 according to the size of the bump 3. The component holding means 15 configured as described above is moved up and down with respect to the printed circuit board 1 integrally with the upper nozzle 13 by an elevating mechanism 21 provided between the upper base 12 and the upper nozzle 13. .

  Further, in this repair device, a substrate support means 19 for supporting the printed circuit board 1 from the lower side is provided at the tip of the lower nozzle 14. The board support means 19 includes a support member 20 that faces the pressing member 16 and the movable arm 17 of the component holding means 15 and supports the lower surface side of the printed circuit board 1. The printed board 1 is sandwiched from above and below by the board support means 19. Similarly to the component holding means 15, the board support means 19 is also moved up and down relative to the printed board 1 integrally with the lower nozzle 14 by an elevating mechanism 22 provided between the lower base 10 and the lower nozzle 14. It has become so.

  In this repair device, the upper and lower nozzles 13, 14, the component holding means 15, and the board support means 19 can be manufactured in a size and shape that match the BGA 2, or can be changed in size and shape according to the BGA 2. It needs to be structured. Further, the component holding means 15 and the board support means 19 are configured so as not to prevent the original heating by hot air, and as the material thereof, a resin material that does not damage the printed board 1 or the BGA 2 and has high heat resistance is used. It is desirable. As this resin material, for example, a tetrafluoroethylene resin known under the trade name of Teflon is suitable.

  In this repair device, either a manual type or an electric type may be adopted as a driving means for opening and closing the movable arm member 17. Further, the elevating mechanisms 21 and 22 for moving the upper and lower nozzles 13 and 14 up and down may be either manual type or electric type, but must be capable of controlling the pressure at the time of joining the BGA 2.

  In the repair device of this embodiment configured as described above, the structure in which the substantially central portion of the BGA 2 is held by the pressing member 16 from the upper surface side, and at the same time, the end portion of the BGA 2 is held by the plurality of movable arm members 17 from the lower surface side. As a result, the BGA 2 is firmly fixed and held on the component holding means 15 without warping or tilting.

  In this component holding means 15, even if the bump 3 is heated and melted and the BGA 2 sinks, the BGA 2 and the print are determined by the thickness of the tip 17 a of the movable arm member 17 sandwiched between the BGA 2 and the printed circuit board 1. The space | interval of the board | substrate 1 does not become narrow, and this prevents the BGA2 from sinking more than necessary.

  In this repair device, hot air for melting the bumps 3 is evenly sprayed from the nozzles 13 and 14 arranged above and below the printed circuit board 1, and the printed circuit board 1 is formed by the component holding means 15 and the substrate supporting means 19. The occurrence of warping of the printed circuit board 1 can also be suppressed by adopting a structure in which is sandwiched from above and below.

  Furthermore, in this repair device, the diffusion of the hot air H sprayed from the upper nozzle 13 is suppressed by the component holding means 15, that is, the movable arm member 17 is guided to blow the hot air H uniformly on the BGA 2. As a result, the bump 3 can be uniformly heated and melted. Also, the substrate support means 19 acts in the same manner on the hot air H sprayed from the lower nozzle 14, and the bumps 3 are uniformly heated and melted.

FIG. 2 shows another configuration example of the component holding means.
In other words, the component holding means 15 in this example is formed in a shape in which the distal end portion 17a of the movable arm member 17 is formed in a bifurcated shape so that the BGA 2 is sandwiched from above and below, thereby fixing the BGA 2 more securely. Can do.

FIG. 3 shows still another configuration example of the component holding means.
That is, the component holding means 15 of this example is configured to open and close by sliding the movable arm member 17 along the slide rail 23 in parallel in the inner and outer directions.

Subsequently, the reattachment operation of the BGA by the repair device of this embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS.
Prior to this BGA mounting operation, as shown in FIG. 9B, flux or solder paste 5 is applied on the pads 4 of the printed circuit board 1 (or the tips of the bumps 3) in advance. First, as shown in FIG. 4, the BGA 2 to be joined is held by the component holding means 15 above the printed circuit board 1 placed on the support base 11. At this time, as described above, the component holding means 15 holds the substantially central portion of the BGA 2 with the pressing member 16 from the upper surface side, and at the same time holds the end portions of the BGA 2 with the plurality of movable arm members 17 from the lower surface side. Is securely held without warping or tilting.

  Next, the lifting mechanism 21 is operated from this state, and the component holding means 15 is lowered integrally with the upper nozzle 14 as shown in FIG. 5 to place the BGA 2 on the printed circuit board 1. In this state, the board support means 19 supports the printed board 1 from below, and the printed board 1 is sandwiched from above and below by the component holding means 15 and the board support means 19 as described above. Occurrence is suppressed. In this state, considering that the BGA 2 will sink later when the bump 3 is melted, the lifting mechanism 18 presses the BGA 2 against the printed circuit board 1 with a weak force.

  Subsequently, from this state, hot air H is sprayed from the upper and lower nozzles 13 and 14 as shown in FIG. 6, and the bumps 3 of the BGA 2 are heated and melted to be joined to the pads 4 of the printed circuit board 1. At this time, as described above, the BGA 2 is firmly fixed and held on the component holding means 15 without warping or tilting, so that connection failure such as crushing of the bumps 3 or no connection does not occur. Bonded stably and reliably to the substrate 1. Even when the bump 3 is melted and the BGA 2 sinks, the tip 17a of the movable arm member 17 sandwiched between the BGA 2 and the printed circuit board 1 prevents the BGA 2 from sinking more than necessary. As a result, the bump 3 can be more reliably prevented from being crushed. Furthermore, since the hot air H sprayed from the upper and lower nozzles 13 and 14 is guided to the component holding means 15 and the board support means 19 and is uniformly blown toward the BGA 2, the bump 3 is heated and melted evenly to cause the BGA 2 to melt. It can join more reliably.

  After the BGA 2 is bonded to the printed circuit board 1 in this way, the required cooling time is allowed, and after the bumps 3 are cooled and solidified, the movable arm member 17 of the component holding means 15 is opened to release the holding of the BGA 2 as shown in FIG. To do. Finally, as shown in FIG. 8, the lifting mechanism 21 is operated to raise the component holding means 15 integrally with the upper nozzle 13, thereby completing the BGA attachment process. After the BGA has been attached, there is no problem even if the substrate support means 19 remains in the position shown in FIG. 7, but the substrate support means 19 is lowered together with the lower nozzle 14 by the elevating mechanism 22 as shown in FIG. Thus, when the printed board 1 is removed from the support base 11, it is possible to prevent a component mounted on the lower surface side of the printed board 1 from coming into contact with the board support means 19.

  As described above, according to the repair device of the present embodiment, the BGA remounting operation can be performed stably, and even in a multi-pin, narrow pitch CSP and a BGA having a lead-free composition with a high melting point of the bump. Implementation is possible.

  Although detailed description of the removal of the BGA is omitted, the removal operation of the BGA is performed by the reverse operation of the above-described attachment operations of FIGS.

It is a side view which shows the structure of the principal part of the repair apparatus by this invention. It is another structural example of a component holding means. It is the further another structural example of a component holding means. It is explanatory drawing of the attachment operation | movement of BGA in the repair apparatus by this invention, and is the state which hold | maintained BGA with the component holding means. In the same manner, BGA is placed on the printed circuit board. In the same manner, hot air is jetted from the nozzle. In the same manner, the BGA held by the component holding means is released. In the same manner, the BGA mounting operation has been completed. It is explanatory drawing of the attachment procedure of BGA.
