Definitions
- the present invention relates to a plunger for feeding encapsulating material to a mould cavity.
- the present invention also relates to a kit-of-parts for the assembly of the plunger of the present invention, a device for encapsulating electronic components mounted on a carrier comprising the plunger of the present invention and method and use of the plunger of the present invention.
- the feed of encapsulating material takes place by means of one or more plungers with which pressure can be exerted on a supply of encapsulating material provided for this purpose.
- These plungers are displaceable in a housing into which the not yet liquid encapsulating material is also carried.
- the plunger exerts a pressure on the encapsulating material which is heated simultaneously and/or beforehand, as a result of which the encapsulating material becomes liquid.
- the liquid encapsulating material flows to the mould cavity and, under the correct processing conditions, fills it completely with encapsulating material.
- Encapsulating material collects in this groove which then cures and thus functions as seal in a subsequent production step. This is described for instance in US 6,200,504. It has been found in practice that such a seal made from encapsulating material functions well initially, but that after a time there is a danger of the plunger jamming in the housing. This means that the plunger engages on the plunger housing in (too) close-fitting manner via the seal made from encapsulating material.
- WO 2005/102658 discloses a plunger wherein a material part is placed in the groove which only partly fills the groove. After a first use of such a plunger the material part placed in the groove can be at least partly enclosed by encapsulating material. This encapsulating material enclosing the material part will usually cure after a time.
- Such plunger has the advantages that replenishment of the size of the seal during use of the plunger by newly supplied encapsulating material remains possible. Consequently a good fitting of the plunger on the housing can thus be realized without this possibly resulting after some use in a plunger jamming in its housing.
- the present invention has for its object to provide an improved plunger wherein the advantages of the above-described prior art can be retained and the chance of flash and pollution of the plunger housing can be further reduced.
- the invention provides for this purpose a plunger for feeding encapsulating material to a mould cavity, comprising a closed first groove recessed into and enclosing the cylinder casing of the plunger and a closed second groove recessed into and enclosing the cylinder casing of the plunger, wherein the second groove is positioned between the first groove and the end surface of the plunger to be directed toward the encapsulating material.
- the first groove is provided with a scraper, such that the scraper protrudes at least partially above the surface of the cylinder casing and, optionally, the second groove is provided with a sealing ring. It was found that the plunger of the present invention is still capable of providing a high pressure, i.e.
- the wall of the plunger housing i.e. the plunger receiving space of a device for encapsulating electronic components mounted on a carrier, is cleaned during use of the plunger in the encapsulating process.
- the second groove may be provided with a sealing ring to result in a plunger having improved functionality, i.e. providing a plunger having an improved vacuum necessary to exert the pressure needed to feed the liquid encapsulating material to the mould cavity.
- liquid encapsulating material having a low dynamic (shear) viscosity i.e. less than about 10 Pa-s, e.g. about 0.25 to 5 Pa-s.
- excellent results with regard to the functionality of the plunger during use are obtained using a liquid encapsulating material having a dynamic viscosity of at least 0.50 Pa-s, e.g. a dynamic viscosity of about 1 to 2 Pa-s.
- the minimal viscosity of the liquid encapsulating material suitable for use is subject to restrictions. It was found that by providing a plunger, wherein the second groove is not provided with a sealing ring, good functionality of the plunger during use is observed using liquid encapsulating material having a dynamic viscosity of at least 10 Pa-s.
- the encapsulating material may be selected from the group consisting of thermosetting polymers, such as thermosetting plastics, thermosetting pre- polymers or thermosetting resin.
- thermosetting polymers such as thermosetting plastics, thermosetting pre- polymers or thermosetting resin.
- Preferred encapsulating materials may be selected from the group consisting of polyester resins, polyurethanes,
- polyurea/polyurethane hybrids vulcanized rubbers, phenol-formaldehyde resins, duroplast, urea-formaldehyde foams, melamine resins, diallyl-phthalates, epoxy resins, epoxy novolac resins, benzoxazines, polyimides, bismaleimides, cyanate esters, polycyanurates, mold or mold runners, furan resins, thermoset phenolic resins and vinyl ester resins.
- Particular preferred encapsulating materials may be selected from the group consisting of duroplast, acrylic resins, epoxy functional resins, polyurethanes, phenolic resins, amino resins and furan resins.
- the scraper of the present invention may be made from any material suitable for scraping cured encapsulating material from the wall of the plunger housing.
- the scraper is made from a metal, such as an alloy comprising iron, copper and/or chromium.
- the scraper is made from cast iron or steel providing excellent results on scraping the cured encapsulating material form the wall of the plunger housing.
- the scraper of the present invention may be a solid ring form-fittingly arranged in the first groove of the plunger, wherein the dimensions of the solid ring are chosen such that the ring close-fittingly connects to the wall of the plunger housing.
- the scraper is preferable formed by a piston ring, i.e. a metal expandable piston ring provided with a slit.
- the scraper may be selected from the group consisting of compression rings, scraper rings and combinations thereof. Good to excellent scraping results are obtained by using a scraper formed by a rectangular compression ring, a napier ring or ridge dodger ring.
- the scraper may also be constructed by providing a scraper formed by a combination of two rectangular compression rings. In order to construct a napier ring-like scraper or ridge dodger ring-like scraper, the outer diameter of the two combined compression rings is different.
- the inner diameter of the scraper may be larger than the diameter of the first groove. Anyhow the inner diameter of the scraper should be smaller than the diameter of the part of the cylinder casing of the plunger the first groove is recessed in.
- the sealing ring may be made from any material, preferably made from a plastic. Plastic is available with varying spring characteristics and can furthermore be given a temperature-resistant form. It is thus desirable that the sealing ring is heat- resistant up to a temperature of at least 120°C, preferably a temperature of at least 140°C, more preferably a temperature of at least 160°C. These are after all temperatures which can occur during the encapsulation of electronic components. More specifically envisaged is a sealing ring made from a polymer, preferably a so- called high-performance engineering polymer. Examples hereof are:
- PFA perfluoroalkoxy polymer
- PTFE polytetrafluorethylene
- PEEK polyetherether ketone
- fluorosilicones Such materials are commercially available under the brand names of, among others, Teflon, Norglide, Fluoroloy, Rulon, Meldin, and Chemraz. It is however also possible for other elastomers with temperature and pressure resistance to be applied for the manufacture of the sealing ring. Another possibility is to manufacture the sealing ring from a material with a relatively high coefficient of expansion. An example of such a material are for instance copper alloys.
- the sealing ring takes an annular form, for instance as an O-ring.
- Such rings are commercially available in many variations for other applications.
- the inner diameter of the sealing ring substantially corresponds to the diameter of the second groove.
- the dimensions of the sealing ring may be chosen such that the sealing ring is entirely situated below the surface of the cylinder casing.
- the dimensions of the sealing ring may be chosen such that the sealing ring protrudes at least partially above the surface of the cylinder casing.
- the cylinder casing of the plunger of the present invention may be further provided with helical grooves.
- the helical grooves are provided in the part of the cylinder casing of the plunger situated between the first groove and the side facing away the end surface of the plunger to be directed toward the encapsulating material.
- the helical grooves further facilitate the removal of encapsulating material present on the wall of the plunger housing.
- the present invention also relates to a plunger for feeding encapsulating material to a mould cavity, wherein the circumferential edge of the end surface of the plunger to be directed toward the encapsulating material is provided with a chamfer, said chamfer is arranged at an angle of 5 s to 45 Q with the end surface of the plunger. It was found that by providing a plunger comprising a chamfered circumferential edge encapsulating material scraped from the wall of the plunger housing is collected by the circumferential edge of the end surface of the plunger to be directed toward the encapsulating material. The collected scrapings of (partially) cured encapsulating material can be re-used in the next feed of encapsulating material to the mould cavity.
- the angle of the chamfered circumferential edge with the end surface of the plunger determines the effectiveness of collection of the scrapings of encapsulating material.
- the effectiveness of collection is increased by using a plunger provided with a chamfered circumferential edge of the end surface wherein the chamfer is arranged at an angle of 15 s to 40 s with the end surface of the plunger, even more preferred at an angle of 25 e to 35 s , even further preferred at an angle of about 30 s .
- the chamfered top edge as described above may be combined with the plunger comprising the scraper and, optionally, the sealing ring.
- the efficacy of the scraping function is further improved.
- the present invention further relates to a kit-of-parts for the assembly of the plunger according to the present invention.
- the kit-of-parts comprises a plunger provided with two closed grooves recessed into and enclosing the cylinder casing of the plunger, wherein a second groove is positioned between a first groove and the end surface of the plunger to be directed toward the encapsulating material and a scraper for ring for placement in the first groove.
- the kit-of-parts may further comprises a sealing ring for placement in the second groove.
- the present invention relates to a device for encapsulating electronic components mounted on a carrier, comprising at least two mould parts which are displaceable relative to each other and which mould parts in a closed position define at least one mould cavity for enclosing one or more electronic components and feed means for liquid encapsulating material connecting to the mould cavity.
- the feed means are provided with at least one plunger receiving space (i.e. the plunger housing), wherein the plunger of the present invention is situated (i.e. at least the top part of the plunger comprising the first and second groove) in the at least one plunger receiving space.
- the scraper of the plunger is configured to scrape contaminants from the wall of the receiving space enclosing the plunger.
- the difference in distance between the inner diameter of the scraper and the diameter of the first groove may be smaller than the difference in distance between the cylinder casing of the of the plunger and the wall of the receiving space enclosing the plunger.
- the outer diameter of the scraper may be chosen such that the scraper is received by the receiving space under pretension. In such preferred embodiment, the outer diameter of the scraper is larger than the diameter of the wall of the receiving space.
- the chamfer may be preferably arranged at an angle of 45 s to 85 s with the wall of the receiving space.
- such chamfered top edge may collect scrapings of (partially) cured encapsulating material at the chamfered top edge for re-use in the next feeding cycle of encapsulating material to a mould cavity.
- the effectiveness of collection of the scrapings is further increased by providing a chamfer arranged at an angle of 50 s to 75 s with the wall of the receiving space, more preferably at an angle of 55 s to 65 s and even further preferred at an angle of about 60 s .
- the chamfered top edge may be combined with the plunger comprising the scraper and, optionally, the sealing ring, provided in the at least one plunger receiving space of the device of the present invention.
