Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、電子部品が実装されている回路基板における回路基板保護カバーおよび回路基板保護カバーを用いた回路基板保護方法に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
近年、防水、防湿、防錆、防虫等を目的とする回路基板の保護方法として、シリコーン樹脂、ウレタン樹脂、あるいはエポキシ樹脂等の液状封止剤を回路基板上に注入後、硬化する封止工法が知られている。
【0003】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、封止工法を用いた場合には、封止剤が電子部品と回路基板に接着しているため、部品交換や基板修理をすることが困難であり、さらに、実装基板をリサイクルする際も、回路基板や電子部品に付着した封止剤を完全に除去することが困難なため、リサイクルできなくなるという問題を有していた。
【0004】
また、上記封止剤の硬化には通常20分〜8時間程度も要するという生産上の問題を有していた。
【0005】
従って、本発明の目的は、上記問題を解決することにあって、短時間で回路基板に取付けることができ、防水性等に優れた、かつ部品交換と基板修理および実装基板のリサイクル等が容易な回路基板保護カバーおよび回路基板保護カバーを用いて回路基板を保護する方法を提供する。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
上記目的を達成するために、本発明は以下のように構成する。
【0007】
本発明の第1態様によれば、一方の面に電子部品が実装されている回路基板の対向する端部に着脱可能にはまって上記端部との間を封止する凹状の取付部と、上記電子部品を上記回路基板の上記一方の面とともに覆う直方体の箱状の空間部とを有し、上記空間部が覆っている部分の上記回路基板の面積が、上記回路基板の上記一方の面の面積より小さい回路基板保護カバーを提供する。
【0008】
本発明の第2態様によれば、四角形状の回路基板の端部の全辺にはまるように、上記凹状の取付部が設けられている、第1態様に記載の回路基板保護カバーを提供する。
【0011】
本発明の第3態様によれば、上記回路基板の対向する端部と着脱可能に互いにはまり合い可能な部分の縁を延ばした着脱補助部を備えて、上記着脱補助部が上記回路基板の対向する端部への上記はまり合い可能な部分の着脱動作を補助する上記第1または第2態様に記載の回路基板保護カバーを提供する。
【0014】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下に、本発明の実施の形態にかかる回路基板保護カバーが樹脂ケースである例を図面に基づいて詳細に説明する。
【0015】
図1は、本発明の第1の実施形態にかかる回路基板保護カバーを、回路基板に取付けた状態の回路基板の断面図である。図1において、四角形シート状の回路基板1の下面には電子部品3が、上面には電子部品4が実装されている。回路基板1の上面の全面は、上部に直方体の箱状の空間を有する樹脂ケース2で覆われている。樹脂ケース2は厚さが0.1mm〜0.8mmの範囲の樹脂シートにより形成されており、樹脂シート内には好ましくは長鎖脂肪酸エステル等の帯電防止剤を含んでいる。このような厚さの範囲の理由は、樹脂ケース2の厚さが0.1mm未満であると樹脂ケース2の形状が保持できなく不都合であり、0.8mmより厚いと成形等の加工が困難となるからである。よって、樹脂ケース2の厚さを0.1〜0.8mmとすると、形状保持性に優れ、外力によりたわむことが可能であり、かつ加工性が良好となる。
【0016】
また、上記における樹脂シート内に帯電防止剤が含まれている場合、例えば、樹脂シート製造時に帯電防止剤を樹脂材料内に練り込むこと等により帯電防止剤が樹脂シート内に含まれている場合に代えて、樹脂ケース2の内側表面又は外側表面にスプレーコート等で帯電防止剤を吹き付けることにより、帯電防止膜を形成する場合であってもよい。
【0017】
樹脂ケース2は、図2に示すように下部端部の対向2箇所、好ましくは2箇所以上に全辺に凹状の回路基板1へのはまり合い可能な部分である取付部2aを有し、この取付部2aを回路基板1の対向端部1aにはめ合わせることにより、樹脂ケース2は回路基板1に着脱可能に取付けられている。この樹脂ケース取付部2aは、回路基板1に取付時に取付部2aの凹部内面と回路基板1の端部1aの外面との間に隙間無く取り付くように形成されている。回路基板1の上面に取付けられた電子部品4は全て樹脂ケース2の上部により覆われており、樹脂ケース2の上部は取付け状態において電子部品4に接触しない形状となっている。つまり、樹脂ケース2の上部上面と回路基板1の上面に取付けられた電子部品4の最高部との間には、接触しない程度の隙間が確保されている。
【0018】
回路基板1の下面に実装されている電子部品3は回路動作中に発熱量が大きい電子部品を含んでおり、上面に実装されている電子部品4は発熱量が小さい電子部品である。ここで発熱量の大きい電子部品とは、この電子部品を含む回路基板を小空間内で密閉し回路を作動させた場合に、この電子部品の発熱により同空間内の温度が上昇し、同回路基板上の他の電子部品の作動に影響を与える恐れのある電子部品を示し、一例を挙げると電源回路用トランジスタのような部品である。また、発熱量が小さい電子部品とは、同空間内の他の電子部品に発熱により影響を与えない電子部品を示す。
【0019】
上記構成にかかる樹脂ケース2を回路基板1に取付ける場合、図3に示すように、左側の樹脂ケース取付部2aを回路基板1の左側端部1aにはめ込んだ後、右側の樹脂ケース取付部2aもしくはその近傍を外部横方向に引き曲げながら、回路基板1の右側端部1aにはめ合わせ取付ける。
【0020】
上記第1の実施形態によれば、従来の封止工法において用いられていた封止剤を回路基板上に用いることなく、樹脂ケース2の取付部2aを回路基板1の端部1aに単にはめ合わせるだけで取付けることができる。一方、樹脂ケース2の取付部2aの回路基板1の端部1aへのはめ合わせを解除することによって簡単に樹脂ケース2を回路基板1から取り外すことができる。よって、部品交換、基板修理や実装基板のリサイクルが容易に可能となる。
【0021】
また、従来の封止工法における封止剤の硬化には通常20分〜8時間程度も要するが、そのような硬化工程が不要となり、単に、樹脂ケース2の取付部2aを回路基板1の端部1aにはめ合わせるだけのため、樹脂ケース2の取り付けに要する時間は10秒以下となり、生産工程を短縮することが可能となる。
【0022】
また、樹脂ケース2が帯電防止剤を含むことにより、取り付け時等における回路基板1と樹脂ケース2との摩擦時に発生する静電気による回路基板1の不良を防止できる。
【0023】
また、回路動作中の発熱量が大きい電子部品3を回路基板1の下面に実装することにより、回路基板1の上面は発熱量が小さい電子部品4のみが実装され、樹脂ケース2で覆われることとなるため、回路動作時に樹脂ケース2の内部の温度上昇を防止することが可能となり、樹脂ケース2の内部の温度上昇による回路基板1の不良を防止できる。
【0024】
なお、本発明は上記実施形態に限定されるものではなく、その他種々の態様で実施できる。
【0025】
例えば、図4は、本発明の第2の実施形態として、回路基板1への樹脂ケース2の取付部2aを、図2のようにその全辺に備えるのではなく、対向端部の一部にのみ設けたものである。
【0026】
上記第2の実施形態によれば、樹脂ケース取付部2aの横幅を短くすることができるため、より小さな外力で樹脂ケース取付部2aもしくはその近傍を外部横方向に引き曲げることが可能となり、樹脂ケース2を回路基板1から着脱することが容易となる。
【0027】
本発明の第3の実施形態として、図5は、図1における樹脂ケース取付部2aの端部下方に着脱補助部としてシート片2bを樹脂ケース2と一体成形で設けたものである。シート片2bは下部を横方向外側に傾斜させており、その先端部が回路基板1の端部1aよりも横方向外側に位置するよう形成されている。
【0028】
上記第3の実施形態によれば、樹脂ケース2を回路基板1に取付ける際には、図6に示すように樹脂ケース2のシート片2bの先端部が回路基板1の端部1aよりも横方向外側に位置しているため、樹脂ケース2のシート片2bの内面を回路基板1の端部1aの上部にあてることができ、樹脂ケース2を下方へ押さえ込むことにより容易に取付けることができる。さらに、樹脂ケース2を回路基板1から取り外す際には、作業者が樹脂ケース2のシート片2bを摘むか、又は自動化によりシート片2bを工具等で挟み込み、外部横方向に引き曲げることにより、容易に取り外すことができる。
【0029】
なお、上記各実施形態においては、樹脂ケース取付部2aを熱線等で局所的に加熱して樹脂を軟化させることにより、回路基板1のコーナー部分等において、より容易に樹脂ケース2を回路基板1に取り付けることができる。
【0030】
また、樹脂ケース2が樹脂ケース取付部2aを下部端部の対向3箇所以上に有する場合には、図7に示すように、樹脂ケース2のコーナー部にスリット状の切り込み部2cを設けることにより、より容易に樹脂ケース2を回路基板1に取り付けることができる。
【0031】
【実施例】
以下に、上記実施形態の具体的な実施例および比較例を挙げて、本発明にかかる上記実施形態の回路基板保護カバーおよび本回路基板保護カバーを用いて回路基板を保護する方法をより詳細に説明する。

[0014]
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, an example in which the circuit board protective cover according to the embodiment of the present invention is a resin case will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0015]
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a circuit board in a state where the circuit board protective cover according to the first embodiment of the present invention is attached to the circuit board. In FIG. 1, an electronic component 3 is mounted on the lower surface of a rectangular sheet-like circuit board 1, and an electronic component 4 is mounted on the upper surface. The entire upper surface of the circuit board 1 is covered with a resin case 2 having a rectangular parallelepiped box-like space at the top. The resin case 2 is formed of a resin sheet having a thickness in the range of 0.1 mm to 0.8 mm, and preferably contains an antistatic agent such as a long-chain fatty acid ester in the resin sheet. The reason for such a thickness range is that if the thickness of the resin case 2 is less than 0.1 mm, the shape of the resin case 2 cannot be maintained, and if it is thicker than 0.8 mm, processing such as molding is difficult. Because it becomes. Therefore, when the thickness of the resin case 2 is 0.1 to 0.8 mm, the shape retainability is excellent, it can be bent by an external force, and the workability is good.
[0016]
When the antistatic agent is contained in the resin sheet in the above case, for example, when the antistatic agent is contained in the resin sheet by kneading the antistatic agent into the resin material when the resin sheet is manufactured. Instead, the antistatic film may be formed by spraying an antistatic agent on the inner surface or outer surface of the resin case 2 by spray coating or the like.
[0017]
As shown in FIG. 2, the resin case 2 has mounting portions 2a which are portions that can be fitted to the concave circuit board 1 on all sides at two opposite ends of the lower end, preferably two or more. The resin case 2 is detachably attached to the circuit board 1 by fitting the attachment part 2 a to the opposite end 1 a of the circuit board 1. The resin case mounting portion 2a is formed so as to be attached between the inner surface of the concave portion of the mounting portion 2a and the outer surface of the end portion 1a of the circuit board 1 without any gap when mounted on the circuit board 1. All of the electronic components 4 attached to the upper surface of the circuit board 1 are covered with the upper portion of the resin case 2, and the upper portion of the resin case 2 has a shape that does not contact the electronic components 4 in the attached state. That is, a gap that does not contact is secured between the upper upper surface of the resin case 2 and the highest portion of the electronic component 4 attached to the upper surface of the circuit board 1.
[0018]
The electronic component 3 mounted on the lower surface of the circuit board 1 includes an electronic component that generates a large amount of heat during circuit operation, and the electronic component 4 mounted on the upper surface is an electronic component that generates a small amount of heat. Here, an electronic component with a large amount of heat generation means that when a circuit board including the electronic component is sealed in a small space and the circuit is operated, the temperature in the space increases due to the heat generated by the electronic component. An electronic component that may affect the operation of other electronic components on the substrate is shown. For example, the electronic component is a component such as a transistor for a power supply circuit. An electronic component with a small amount of heat generation refers to an electronic component that does not affect other electronic components in the same space due to heat generation.
[0019]
When the resin case 2 according to the above configuration is attached to the circuit board 1, as shown in FIG. 3, the left resin case attachment part 2a is fitted into the left end part 1a of the circuit board 1 and then the right resin case attachment part 2a. Alternatively, it is fitted and attached to the right end 1a of the circuit board 1 while bending the vicinity thereof in the lateral direction outside.
[0020]
According to the first embodiment, the mounting portion 2a of the resin case 2 is simply fitted to the end portion 1a of the circuit board 1 without using the sealing agent used in the conventional sealing method on the circuit board. It can be installed simply by adjusting. On the other hand, the resin case 2 can be easily detached from the circuit board 1 by releasing the fitting of the mounting portion 2a of the resin case 2 to the end 1a of the circuit board 1. Therefore, component replacement, board repair, and mounting board recycling can be easily performed.
[0021]
Further, the curing of the sealant in the conventional sealing method usually takes about 20 minutes to 8 hours, but such a curing process is not necessary, and the mounting portion 2a of the resin case 2 is simply connected to the end of the circuit board 1. Since it is only fitted to the part 1a, the time required to attach the resin case 2 is 10 seconds or less, and the production process can be shortened.
[0022]
Further, since the resin case 2 contains an antistatic agent, it is possible to prevent the circuit board 1 from being defective due to static electricity generated when the circuit board 1 and the resin case 2 are rubbed at the time of attachment or the like.
[0023]
Further, by mounting the electronic component 3 that generates a large amount of heat during circuit operation on the lower surface of the circuit board 1, only the electronic component 4 that generates a small amount of heat is mounted on the upper surface of the circuit board 1 and covered with the resin case 2. Therefore, it is possible to prevent the temperature inside the resin case 2 from rising during circuit operation, and it is possible to prevent the circuit board 1 from being defective due to the temperature inside the resin case 2.
[0024]
In addition, this invention is not limited to the said embodiment, It can implement with another various aspect.
[0025]
For example, FIG. 4 shows, as a second embodiment of the present invention, a mounting portion 2a of the resin case 2 to the circuit board 1 is not provided on all sides as shown in FIG. It is provided only for.
[0026]
According to the second embodiment, since the lateral width of the resin case mounting portion 2a can be shortened, the resin case mounting portion 2a or its vicinity can be bent in the external lateral direction with a smaller external force. It is easy to attach and detach the case 2 from the circuit board 1.
[0027]
As a third embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 5 shows a sheet piece 2b provided integrally with the resin case 2 as an attachment / detachment auxiliary portion below the end of the resin case attachment portion 2a in FIG. The sheet piece 2b is inclined such that the lower part is inclined outward in the lateral direction, and the tip end portion thereof is formed so as to be positioned laterally outward from the end portion 1a of the circuit board 1.
[0028]
According to the third embodiment, when the resin case 2 is attached to the circuit board 1, the front end of the sheet piece 2 b of the resin case 2 is lateral to the end 1 a of the circuit board 1 as shown in FIG. 6. Since it is located on the outside in the direction, the inner surface of the sheet piece 2b of the resin case 2 can be applied to the upper portion of the end portion 1a of the circuit board 1, and can be easily attached by pressing the resin case 2 downward. Furthermore, when removing the resin case 2 from the circuit board 1, the operator either picks up the sheet piece 2b of the resin case 2 or sandwiches the sheet piece 2b with a tool or the like by automation and bends it in the external lateral direction. It can be easily removed.
[0029]
In each of the above embodiments, the resin case mounting portion 2a is locally heated with a heat ray or the like to soften the resin, so that the resin case 2 is more easily attached to the circuit board 1 at the corner portion of the circuit board 1 or the like. Can be attached to.
[0030]
Further, when the resin case 2 has the resin case mounting portions 2a at three or more positions opposite to the lower end portion, as shown in FIG. 7, by providing slit-like cut portions 2c at the corner portions of the resin case 2. The resin case 2 can be attached to the circuit board 1 more easily.
[0031]
