Abstract

PURPOSE:To realize safety of eliminating method, and prevent the damage of electronic components, by blowing out heated and pressurized water vapor to soften flux, and blowing off and eliminating flux, solder ball, etc. CONSTITUTION:A component mounting circuit board 1 is loaded on a conveying belt 2, and sent in the direction A. While travelling, the component mounting circuit board 1 is cleaned by blowing out heated and pressurized water vapor from a nozzle 3. By blowing the heated and pressurized water vapor 4, flux attaching on the component mounting circuit board 1 is softened on account of the heat of water vapor. The softened flux, solder ball, etc., are blown off and eliminated, by the blowing force of the water vapor. The cleaned component mounting circuit board 1 is heated and dried by passing it through a heater 5. Condensed waste liquor generated by washing is recovered by a waste liquor reservoir 6.

After electronic components are mounted on a circuit board by soldering, the component-mounted circuit board has flux, solder balls, and the like attached to it, so it is necessary to clean and remove this. Conventionally, component-mounted circuit boards have been cleaned using a two-bath system using a fluorocarbon solvent or a chlorinated hydrocarbon solvent. In this method, the component-mounted circuit board is placed in a cleaning chamber and passed through the first to third tanks for cleaning. Ultrasonic cleaning is performed to dissolve flux and dirt, followed by rinsing in a similar liquid bath in the second tank, and final cleaning with steam in the third tank.

However, since conventional methods use fluorocarbon solvents or chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents, there is a risk of environmental pollution and harm to the human body. In particular, fluorocarbons are currently becoming a social issue as they threaten to destroy the ozone layer. Furthermore, if ultrasonic cleaning is performed, parts such as ■C may be destroyed. Furthermore, since it is a two-tank type cleaning device, it has the disadvantage that it is large and expensive.

In order to achieve this object, the present invention sprays heated and pressurized steam onto the component-mounted circuit board when cleaning the component-mounted circuit board after electronic components are mounted on the circuit board by soldering, and the heat of the steam softens the flux. At the same time, flux, solder balls, etc. are blown off and removed by the spraying force of water vapor.

In this way, there is no need to use fluorocarbon solvents or chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents, and the cleaning equipment can also be simplified.

FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of the invention. In this method, a component-mounted circuit board 1 to be cleaned is placed on a conveyor belt 2 and conveyed in six directions of arrows, and heated and pressurized steam 4 is sprayed from a nozzle 3 onto the traveling component-mounted circuit board 1 for cleaning. When the heated and pressurized steam 4 is sprayed, the flux adhering to the component mounting circuit board 1 is softened by the heat of the steam, and the softened flux, solder balls, etc. are blown off and removed by the spraying force of the steam. . The cleaned component-mounted circuit board 1 is then passed through a heater 5 to be heated and dried. Further, condensed waste liquid generated by washing is collected in a waste liquid receiver 6.

The spraying of water vapor is preferably performed in the opposite direction to the running direction of the conveyor belt as shown in the figure, and may be performed not only in one stage but also in multiple stages. Of course, punching can also be performed while the component-mounted circuit board is kept stationary.

As explained above, according to the present invention, the component-mounted circuit board is cleaned with heated and pressurized steam, which eliminates the need to use fluorocarbon solvents or chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents, thereby reducing environmental pollution and harm to the human body. It can be eliminated. Furthermore, since ultrasonic waves are not used, there is no risk of damage to electronic components. Furthermore, since the cleaning method is simple, the device can be downsized and costs can be reduced.
