Description
[0001] The present invention relates to an auxiliary fixture for fixing printed circuit boards (PCBs) for a vertical type electroplating apparatus, and more particularly to a PCB fixture for preventing the PCB substrate from falling down even if the substrate fixing is separated from the transfer clamp, To an auxiliary fixture capable of firmly fixing a substrate without a clearance.
In the vertical type electroplating automation equipment, the upper end of the PCB board is fixed with the clamp of the board, and the PCB board is immersed in the plating tank by the upward and downward movements. When the electroplating is finished, the PCB board is lifted up to the next step .
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS Figure 1 shows a substrate on which a substrate fixture according to the prior art is mounted on a transfer frame. However, in the prior art, the substrate fixation uses an auxiliary fixture in the lower portion of the transfer table to prevent the transfer clamp from being released and the substrate to be dropped downward.
However, during the plating process by immersing the PCB substrate in the plating liquid, a considerable amount of bubbles are generated in the plating liquid. When the inner wall of the via hole of the substrate to be plated is covered with the bubbles, the copper plating can not satisfactorily coat the via hole. An air trap (also referred to as "air bubble" or "void") is generated in the coated copper plating, resulting in poor conduction, that is, open failure.
2 is a cross-sectional micrograph showing a via hole open defect caused by an air trap according to the prior art. In order to solve such a problem that a bubble or an air trap sticks to the inner wall of the via hole to cause plating defects, an ultrasonic vibrator is mounted on the transfer plate of the electroplating automated equipment to generate vibration on the substrate, And the air trap is prevented from sticking to the substrate surface or the inner wall of the via hole by the dam.
3 is a photograph showing an auxiliary fixture according to the prior art. However, the auxiliary jig shown in FIG. 3 merely prevents the PCB from falling down even if the PCB substrate falls down, and basically it does not have a rigidly holding the PCB substrate. Therefore, even if the ultrasonic vibration device vibrates the substrate There is a disadvantage in that ultrasonic vibration can not be uniformly transmitted to the substrate because one end of the substrate is not fixed but is shaken in a state of being left untreated.
A first object of the present invention is to provide an auxiliary fixture capable of firmly holding and fixing the bottom of a PCB substrate in a vertical type electroplating automation equipment.
A second object of the present invention is to provide an auxiliary fixture for efficiently transmitting ultrasonic vibration applied to a substrate in order to prevent an air trap from sticking to a substrate during electroplating.
The present invention provides an auxiliary fixture for fixing a substrate panel that is lowered to a plating bath hanging from a substrate transfer device of a vertical type electroplating facility at the bottom.
The auxiliary jig according to the present invention has a storage space capable of accommodating a circuit board panel that is lowered on the upper portion thereof. The storage space is formed in a hollow rectangular parallelepiped shape with an open upper portion, And the rear surface is cut off in a U-shape from top to bottom to provide a clearance where both side edges of the circuit board panel can protrude out of the storage space when the circuit board panel descends from top to bottom, A columnar pedestal defined by a column portion, a rear right column portion, a rear left column portion, and a front left column portion; A through hole is formed in the shape of a fan-shaped cylinder so as to extend from a point on the end face of the fan-shaped disk to a point of symmetry of the end face of the opposite side of the disk, and between the through hole formed in the front pole and the through hole formed in the rear pole, And a pair of substrate holders for aligning the through holes and fastening the pins so as to penetrate through the through holes, thereby performing pivotal movement with the pins as the rotation axis of the iron.
The pin for fastening the substrate holder of the present invention in the form of a bar is configured to apply a restoring force such that a spring is wound so that the substrate holder is returned from the lower side to the upper side when the substrate holder is pushed from top to bottom, And the substrate panel is lowered by inserting the substrate holder into the gap while pushing both the substrate holders when the substrate panel is lowered, The strong force on the surface of the substrate acts in opposite directions to each other by the restoring force of the spring, thereby firmly fixing the substrate panel.
In the present invention, since the upper part of the PCB panel holds the clamp of the feeding frame and the lower part of the PCB panel holds the pair of substrate holders firmly by closely contacting the surface of the board panel, the board panel moves or falls Can be prevented. In addition, even in the process of applying vibration to the substrate with the ultrasonic vibration device, since both ends of the substrate are firmly held and vibration is applied, the ultrasonic vibration can be efficiently transmitted to the substrate. As a result, it is possible to prevent the air bubble from sticking to the substrate surface during the electroplating process to cause an open defect.

The foregoing has somewhat improved the features and technical advantages of the present invention in order to better understand the claims of the invention described below. Additional features and advantages that constitute the claims of the present invention will be described in detail below. It should be appreciated by those skilled in the art that the disclosed concepts and specific embodiments of the invention can be used immediately as a basis for designing or modifying other structures to accomplish the invention and similar purposes.
In addition, the inventive concepts and embodiments disclosed herein may be used by those skilled in the art as a basis for modifying or designing other structures to accomplish the same purpose of the present invention. It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made hereto without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.

FIG. 9A illustrates the prior art, and FIG. 9B illustrates a case where the technique of the present invention is applied.
Referring to FIG. 9A, in the case of the conventional art, a copper plating failure occurs due to bubbles on the inner wall of the through hole, while referring to FIG. 9B, it can be visually confirmed that copper plating is uniformly applied to the inner wall of the through hole in the present invention.
In addition, when the product is vertically racked, space is not generated, the product is fixed without moving, and pressure is applied to the auxiliary jig, so that various kinds of thickness sizes can be effectively racked. As the product can be fixed when it is applied to the PCB vertical plating specialist, the quality can be improved and the Q-cost cost can be reduced to minimize the profit. In addition, injection molding can be performed by a user in a desired size, and replacement and manufacture of parts are easy.
