- the passage connecting the branch point and the storage portion is inclined downward from the branch point toward the storage portion.
- the first invention when the substrate is above the heat exchanger, most of the gas above the pair of rails can be sent to the heat exchanger by the pair of bypass passages.
- the slits allow much of the gas above the pair of rails to be sent to the heat exchanger. Therefore, when two or more substrates are continuously conveyed, it is possible to cool these substrates while suppressing the flow of gas existing between the pair of rails from being disturbed.
- the position of the discharge port is located below the ventilation plate and above the lower opening, it is possible to shorten the length of the bypass passage.
- By shortening the length of the bypass passage it is possible to supply this gas to the heat exchanger while suppressing the gas flowing through the bypass passage from being cooled by the inner wall surface. Therefore, the gas passing through the bypass passage can be reliably cooled in the heat exchanger, and the flux contained in this gas can be efficiently recovered downstream of the heat exchanger.
- the third invention when the substrate is located above the heat exchanger, most of the gas flowing to the side of the substrate is sucked from the suction port, and is below the ventilation plate through the bending portion and the discharging port. It becomes possible to spit out.
- the gas discharged below the ventilation plate merges with the gas that has passed through the slit. Therefore, gas turbulence may occur below the ventilation plate.
- this turbulence is blocked by the ventilation plate, the flow of gas existing between the pair of rails is hardly disturbed. Therefore, it is possible to cool these substrates while suppressing the flow of gas existing between the pair of rails from being disturbed.
- the distance between the pair of rails is adjusted according to the size of the board. That is, this interval increases when cooling a substrate having a wide width in a direction orthogonal to the transport direction, and decreases when cooling a substrate having a narrow width. Therefore, if the slit is formed parallel to the transport direction, the turbulence of the gas flow around the slit may increase depending on the distance between the pair of rails.
- the distance between the pair of rails is larger than that in the case where the slits are formed parallel to the transport direction. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of defects due to adjustment.
- the fifth invention it is possible to flow the gas flowing into the blower unit from the external passage through the upper vent through the fan inlet zone, the blower fan, and the fan outlet zone in this order and send them out to the cooling zone.
- the upper vent is provided on the side wall surface of the furnace body.
- the blower fan is provided on the ceiling wall surface of the furnace body.
- the fan outlet zone is provided so as to surround the fan inlet zone. Therefore, according to such an arrangement relationship, the direction of the gas flowing into the blower unit from the side wall surface of the furnace body is changed in the blower unit, and the direction of the gas sent out from the blower unit is simply directed from the upper side to the lower side of the cooling zone. It is possible to go in one direction. Therefore, it is possible to stabilize the flow of gas existing between the pair of rails.
- a large number of vents are formed at equal intervals on the bottom wall surface of the outlet zone facing the substrate transport surface. Therefore, it is possible to evenly blow out the gas that has flowed into the blower unit during the operation of the blower unit from these vents and direct it toward the substrate transport surface. Therefore, it is possible to further stabilize the flow of gas existing between the pair of rails.
- the liquid flux generated by the condensation in the heat exchanger can be recovered by the recovery device outside the cooling zone via the external passage and the branch passage.
- the passage connecting the branch point and the storage portion is inclined downward from the branch point toward the storage portion. Therefore, it is possible to improve the efficiency of recovery of the liquid flux outside the cooling zone by the recovery device.

- the heat exchanger 60 is detachably provided in the lower opening 47.
- the heat exchanger 60 is connected to the furnace body right side wall surface 42R via a connection unit (not shown). Therefore, when the heat exchanger 60 is removed together with the connection unit, the heat exchanger 60 is separated from the cooling zone 40.
- FIGS. 9 and 10 are diagrams illustrating a gas flow in the cooling zone 40. Note that FIGS. 9 and 10 correspond to views of the cooling zone 40A when the cooling zone 40A is cut at the same position as in FIG. 4 as viewed from the cooling zone 40B side. The difference between FIGS. 9 and 10 lies in the presence or absence of the circuit board CB. That is, the circuit board CB is drawn in FIG. 9, and the circuit board CB is not drawn in FIG. The situation shown in FIG. 10 is typically observed when cooling while continuously transporting two or more circuit boards.
- the arrows “GFD” in FIGS. 9 and 10 indicate the direction of the gas flow generated in the cooling zone 40 due to the operation of the blower unit 90.
- the specific flow of this flow is as follows. That is, when the blower unit 90 is operated, the gas in the external passage 46 flows into the fan inlet zone 92 through the upper vent 44. The gas flowing into the fan inlet zone 92 is sucked up by the blower fan 91 and sent out to the fan outlet zone 93. The gas sent out to the fan outlet zone 93 flows through the fan outlet zone 93 in a form flowing outside the fan inlet zone 92, and heads toward the outlet zone bottom wall surface 93c.
- the direction of the gas flowing into the blowing unit 90 from the right wall surface 42R of the furnace body changes in the blowing unit 90, and when it is sent out from the blowing unit 90, the direction from the upper side to the lower side of the cooling zone 40A. It changes to.
- the gas that has reached the bottom wall surface 93c of the outlet zone flows into the substrate passage zone 40a through the vent 95 (see FIG. 5).
- the vents 95 are formed at equal intervals on the bottom wall surface 93c of the outlet zone. Therefore, the flow rates of the gas flowing from the vent 95 into the substrate passage zone 40a are substantially equal in the surface direction of the outlet zone bottom wall surface 93c.
- the gas flowing into the substrate passage zone 40a from the vent 95 is blown onto the circuit board CB to cool it.
- the gas blown onto the circuit board CB changes its direction in the circuit board CB and flows around the circuit board CB.
- the gas flowing around the circuit board CB is roughly classified into a gas flowing in the transport direction BDD and a gas flowing in the lateral TRD.
- the gas flowing in the transport direction BDD passes through the side of the circuit board CB and heads for the ventilation plate 70.
- the gas that has reached the ventilation plate 70 goes to the lower opening 47 via the slit 71.
- the flow of gas before passing through the slit 71 is arranged while passing through the slit 71. Therefore, the direction of the gas flow (that is, the direction from the upper side to the lower side) is constant below the slit 71.
- the gas that has passed through the slit 71 reaches the large opening 47b.
- the gas flowing in the lateral TRD flows into the bent portion 72c (or the bent portion 73c) from the suction port 72a (or the suction port 73a) and is discharged from the discharge port 72b (or 73b).
- the gas flow is arranged in the bent portion 72c (or the bent portion 73c). Then, the gas discharged from the discharge port 72b (or 73b) reaches the large opening 47b while spreading in the lateral TRD.
- the gas that has reached the large opening 47b is cooled by coming into contact with the surface of the refrigerant passage 62 when passing through the heat exchanger 60 (internal space of the main body 61).
- the cooled gas flows through the external passage 46 by the suction operation of the blower unit 90, and flows into the blower unit 90 (fan inlet zone 92) through the upper vent 44. Therefore, the temperature of the gas blown out from the outlet zone bottom wall surface 93c (vent 95) by the blowing operation of the blowing unit 90 is low, whereby the circuit board CB is cooled.
- Oxygen gas may flow into the substrate passage zone 40a from the outside of the cooling zone 40. This oxygen gas may cause oxidation of the soldered portion of the circuit board CB. Further, if the flow of gas existing between the rails 11L and 11R is disturbed, the oxygen gas mixed in the circuit board CB is likely to oxidize the soldered portion or the like during cooling.
- the bypass passages 72 and 73 allow most of the gas above the conveyor 10 to be large opening 47b. Can be sent to. Further, when the circuit board CB is not present above the heat exchanger 60, most of the gas above the conveyor 10 can be sent to the large opening 47b by the slit 71. Therefore, it is possible to always suppress the disturbance of the gas flow existing between the rails 11L and 11R.
- the positions of the discharge ports 72b and 73b are located below the ventilation plate 70 and above the lower opening 47, so that the lengths of the bypass passages 72 and 73 are long. Can be shortened.
- the lengths of the bypass passages 72 and 73 it is possible to supply the gas to the heat exchanger 60 while suppressing the gas flowing through the bypass passages 72 and 73 from being cooled by the inner wall surfaces thereof. .. Therefore, the gas passing through the bypass passages 72 and 73 can be reliably cooled in the heat exchanger 60, and the flux contained in the gas can be efficiently recovered downstream of the heat exchanger 60.
- the gas discharged below the ventilation plate 70 merges with the gas that has passed through the slit 71. Therefore, gas turbulence may occur below the ventilation plate 70. However, since this turbulence is blocked by the ventilation plate 70, the flow of gas existing between the rails 11L and 11R is hardly disturbed. Therefore, according to the configuration of the reflow furnace according to the embodiment, it is possible to cool the circuit board CB while suppressing the flow of gas existing between the rails 11L and 11R from being disturbed.
- the distance between the rails 11L and 11R is adjusted according to the size of the circuit board CB. That is, when cooling the circuit board CB having a wide lateral TRD, the distance between the rails 11L and 11R increases, and when cooling the circuit board CB having a narrow width, the distance decreases. Therefore, if the slit 71 is formed parallel to the transport direction BDD, the turbulence of the gas flow may increase around the slit 71 depending on the distance between the rails 11L and 11R.
- the rail 11L is compared with the case where the slit 71 is formed in parallel with the transport direction BDD. It is possible to suppress the occurrence of defects due to the adjustment of the 11R interval.
- the direction of the gas flowing into the blower unit 90 from the right wall surface 42R of the furnace body is changed in the blower unit 90, and the direction of the gas sent out from the blower unit 90 is set to the cooling zone. It is possible to move from the upper side to the lower side of the 40. Therefore, it is possible to stabilize the flow of gas existing between the rails 11L and 11R.
- the vents 95 are formed at equal intervals on the bottom wall surface 93c of the outlet zone, the gas flowing into the blower unit 90 is evenly blown out from these vents 95. It can be sent out to the cooling zone 40. Therefore, it is possible to further stabilize the flow of gas existing between the rails 11L and 11R.
- the reflow furnace it is possible to flow the flux in a liquid state in the order of the branch point 48, the branch passage 49, and the connection portion 81 below the lower vent 45. Therefore, it is possible to efficiently recover the cooling zone 40 outside the cooling zone 40 (that is, the recovery device 80).
- the flux is recovered by the recovery device 80. It is possible to increase efficiency.

2-1.構成例
図2は、図1に示した冷却ゾーン40の主要な構成の一例を示す図である。図2に示されるように、冷却ゾーン40は、冷却ゾーン40Aおよび40Bを含む。冷却ゾーン40Aの構成と、冷却ゾーン40Bのそれとは基本的に同じである。そのため、以下においてはこれらの代表として冷却ゾーン40Aについて説明し、冷却ゾーン40Bについての説明を省略する。
図8は、図2に示した熱交換器60の周囲の構成例を示す図である。図8に示される例では、熱交換器60が、本体部61と、冷媒通路62とを備えている。本体部61は、内部空間を有しており、この内部空間に冷媒通路62が配置されている。冷媒通路62は、本体部61の向かい合う側面の間を折り返すように設けられる。冷媒通路62の総数は、1本でもよいし、2本以上でもよい。
図9および10は、冷却ゾーン40におけるガスの流れを説明する図である。なお、図9および10は、図4と同じ位置で冷却ゾーン40Aを切断したときの当該冷却ゾーン40Aを冷却ゾーン40B側から見た図に相当する。図9と10の違いは、回路基板CBの有無にある。すなわち、図9には回路基板CBが描かれており、図10には回路基板CBが描かれていない。図10に示す状況は、典型的には、2枚以上の回路基板を連続的に搬送しながら冷却する場合に観察される。
冷却ゾーン40の外部から基板通過ゾーン40aに酸素ガスが流入することがある。この酸素ガスは、回路基板CBのはんだ付け部位などの酸化を引き起こす懸念がある。また、レール11Lと11Rの間に存在するガスの流れが乱れると、回路基板CBの冷却中、ここに混入した酸素ガスによってはんだ付け部位などの酸化が起こり易い。
以下、本発明の検討の過程において本発明者らが考案した別の発明を参考例として開示する。なお、既述の実施の形態と同一の構成要素については同一の符号を付し、その説明を省略するものとする。

図15は、図11に示した熱交換器60の周囲の構成例を示す図である。図15に示される例では、熱交換器60が、本体部61と、冷媒通路62とを備えている。図15に示される例では、また、下方開口部47が、小開口部47aと、大開口部47bとから構成される。ここまでは実施の形態の構成と同じである。参考例では、大開口部47bにフィルタ74が設けられている。大開口部47bにフィルタ74を設けると、本体部61の上面がフィルタ74により覆われる。本体部61の上面がフィルタ74により覆われることで、冷却ゾーン40Aの内部のガスは必ずフィルタ74を経由して本体部61の内部空間に流入することになる。フィルタ74は、下方開口部47に着脱可能に設けられている。
図16は、図11に示した冷却ゾーン40におけるガスの流れを説明する図である。なお、図16は、図12と同じ位置で冷却ゾーン40Cを切断したときの当該冷却ゾーン40Cを冷却ゾーン40D側から見た図に相当する。
