Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates generally to printed wiring board (PWB) soldering machines that dip, in two degrees of freedom, PWBs into a solder bath to effect soldering.
- Solder machines are used to dip components such as printed wiring boards into solder baths to effect mechanical-electrical connections. To undertake this dipping automatically, previous wave soldering systems have been used that have been relatively bulky to accommodate necessary conveyance of the PWBs into the solder bath at the desired locations of the PWBs. Furthermore, the bulkiness of the prior wave soldering machines has been necessitated to accommodate required soldering precision. Such prior machines have typically consumed around three square meters of valuable factory floor space.
- A solder machine includes a solder bath and a frame juxtaposed with the solder bath and including a carrier configured for holding at least one component to be soldered. The carrier is movable in at least first, seconds and third degrees of freedom relative to the solder bath to solder the component.
- In non-limiting embodiments the first degree of freedom is provided by tilting at least one edge of the carrier. The first degree of freedom can be provided by tilting a first edge of the carrier using a linear actuator coupled to the first edge.
- A translational actuator may be provided to move the frame with carrier translationally in a horizontal plane to establish the second degree of freedom. The translational actuator can move the frame translationally in a horizontal plane between a load position, wherein the carrier is not over the solder bath to facilitate safe loading and unloading of components therefrom, and a solder position, wherein the carrier is over the bath to facilitate soldering. Furthermore, four raise/lower actuators may be provided to raise and lower the carrier along a vertical axis when in the solder position.
- In another aspect, a method of soldering at least one printed wiring board (PWB) includes moving a PWB carrier in three degrees of freedom relative to a solder bath to facilitate safe loading and unloading of PWBs onto the carrier while the carrier is distanced from the bath, and to move the carrier over the bath, lower it, and tilt it as necessary to effect soldering.
- In still another aspect, a solder machine includes a base holding a solder bath and a carrier support coupled to the base and movable along a vertical axis toward and away from the solder bath. A carrier frame is slidably engaged with the carrier support and can be moved in a horizontal plane toward and away from the solder bath. A PWB carrier configured for holding at least one PWB to be soldered can be tilted relative to the carrier frame from a horizontal plane.
- The details of the present invention, both as to its structure and operation, can best be understood in reference to the accompanying drawings, in which like reference numerals refer to like parts, and in which:
-
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of the present solder machine, showing PWBs on the top carrier; -
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the present solder machine with slide piston for moving the PWB carrier in the first degree of freedom and raise/lower pistons for moving the carrier base in the second degree of freedom, showing the PWB carrier and carrier base exploded away from the solder bath for clarity and with portions of the machine removed for clarity, with the PWB carrier in the load position and the carrier support in the raised position relative to the solder bath; and -
FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the tilt mechanism that pivots the carrier in the third degree of freedom. - Terms of height such as “top”, “bottom”, “above”, “below”, “upper”, “lower”, “higher”, “lower”, etc. as used herein are relative to the soldering machine when it is positioned on the floor of an assembly plant as intended.
- Referring initially to
FIG. 1 , a solder machine is shown, generally designated 10, which includes a shroud orhousing 12 enclosing aframe 14 that is coupled to asolder bath 16 holding solder for dip-soldering components such as printed wiring boards (PWB) 18. Thesolder machine 10 may support a processor 20 (shown schematically inFIG. 1 ) that controls motion of the frame in accordance with disclosure below. Theprocessor 20 may output information on acomputer monitor 22 if desired. - Details of the
frame 14 and how it moves with three degrees of freedom relative to the (non-moving)solder bath 16 can be seen in cross-reference toFIG. 2 . Theframe 14 includes a top flat generally rectilinearPWB carrier 24 which includessupport structure 26 for supporting one or more PWBs. The PWBs may plug into thesupport structure 26 or may rest on it or be clamped or otherwise held by thesupport structure 26. It is to be appreciated that parts of the PWBs to be soldered extend below a central cavity 28 defined by thecarrier 24 and toward the solder bath below, so that as thecarrier 24 is moved in accordance with disclosure below the portions of the PWBs are dipped into molten solder. - The
PWB carrier 24 is pivotably coupled to a hollow rectilinearcarrier frame portion 30 that surrounds thePWB carrier 24. Specifically, thecarrier frame portion 30 hassides PWB carrier 24 and asolder bath edge 36 that is pivotably coupled to asolder bath edge 38 of thePWB carrier 24, such that thePWB carrier 24 can pivot relative to thecarrier frame portion 30 about thesolder bath edge 38 as indicated by the arrows 40. In other words, when the structure described below pivots thePWB carrier 24, theedge 42 of thePWB carrier 24 that is opposite the solder bath edge raises (in one direction of the pivot) and lowers (in the other direction of the pivot) relative to thecarrier frame portion 30. - As briefly described above, in
FIG. 2 thePWB carrier 24 is in a load position and a hollow generallyrectilinear carrier support 44 is in a raised position relative to the solder bath. It is to be appreciated that thecarrier frame portion 30 is slidably engaged with thecarrier support 44. - With more specificity, in
FIG. 2 thePWB carrier 24 is distanced in the horizontal dimension from thesolder bath 16, so that PWBs can be loaded on and unloaded off thePWB carrier 24 by a person while thePWB carrier 24 is relatively safely distanced from the solder bath. When the PWBs have been loaded on to thePWB carrier 24, a translationallinear actuator 48 that is coupled to thecarrier frame portion 30 is actuated to translationally move thecarrier frame portion 30 withPWB carrier 24 in the horizontal plane in the direction indicated by thearrow 48 to a solder position, in which thecarrier frame portion 30 is surrounded by thecarrier support 44 and in which thePWB carrier 24 is juxtaposed with thesolder bath 16. - As can be appreciated in reference to
FIG. 2 , four raise/lowerlinear actuators 50 couple respective corner areas of asolder bath base 52 to thecarrier support 44. Specifically, respective flat top pads 54 of the raise/lower actuators 50 can engagerespective corner flanges 56 of thecarrier support 44 such that when the raise/lower actuators 50 are activated, they can move thecarrier support 44 down along the vertical axis as indicated by thearrows 58 toward thesolder bath 16 to a lowered position, and then back tip again to the raised position shown inFIG. 2 . In some embodiments pivotable motion between the raise/lower actuators 50 andflanges 56 may be provided for so that, e.g., two of the fouractuators 50 may be actuated to tilt thecarrier support 44 relative to thesolder bath 16. In the embodiment shown inFIG. 2 , however, all four raise/lower actuators 50 work in concert to raise and lower thecarrier support 44 while thesupport 44 remains substantially flat in the horizontal plane. - With the
PWB carrier 24 in the solder position and the carrier support 44 in the lowered position, as mentioned above thePWB carrier 24 can pivot relative to thecarrier frame portion 30 about thesolder bath edge 38 as indicated by the arrows 40. In one non-limiting implementation this pivoting maybe effected by apivot arm 60, shown inFIG. 2 and best shown inFIG. 3 , which will now be referenced. As shown, thepivot arm 60 has a free end which may be coupled to a rubber or plastic cylindrical grommet-like pad 62. Thepad 62 contacts the bottom of one of the sides of the PWB support 24 when the apparatus is in the solder, lowered position. Theopposite end 63 of thepivot arm 60 is coupled through, e.g., a hall screw coupling 64 to a stepper motor 66 to pivot thearm 60 between the vertical orientation shown toward a horizontal orientation. It will readily be appreciated that this pivoting motion causes thepad 62 and, hence, the side of thePWB carrier 24 to which it is coupled to raise and lower as desired, which tilts thePWB carrier 24 as described. - The operation of the solder machine may now be appreciated. To load a PWB onto the
PWB carrier 24, thecarrier support 44 is raised and the carrier frame slid away from the solder bath to the load position ofFIG. 2 . An operator can safely load PWBs onto thePWB carrier 24 with minimal exposure to the solder bath. Then, the translation actuator is activated to pull thecarrier frame 30 within thecarrier support 30, over the solder bath. The raise/lower actuators are next activated to lower thecarrier support 44 toward the solder bath, and then the tilt actuator withpivot arm 60 activated to tilt thePWB carrier 24 as appropriate for the soldering sought to be effected. At the completion of soldering the above operations are reversed to permit the operator to safely offload soldered PWBs. - While the particular SELECTIVE SOLDERING SYSTEM is herein shown and described in detail, it is to be understood that the subject matter which is encompassed by the present invention is limited only by the claims. For example, pistons may be used but other linear actuators such as rack-and-pinion style actuators driven by, e.g., stepper motors may be used.
