Patent number: 6890430Abstract: A solder dross removal apparatus includes a holder adapted to be pivotably mounted to a container within which a pool of molten solder is kept at preset temperature. Dross is introduced into the container. A dross cutter assembly includes shafts rotatably supported by the holder and flat elongated cutter elements mounted on the shafts. The cutter elements are disposed perpendicular to the surface of the molten solder and partly submerged in the molten solder when the container is closed by the holder. The cutter elements are angularly offset from each other so that each end of the cutter elements lies on a spiral path. The cutter elements are rotated to repeatedly cut the dross into smaller pieces and force the dross as cut into the molten solder. This process removes oxides from the dross, and any free, reclaimed solder is returned to the molten solder.Type: GrantFiled: August 5, 2002Date of Patent: May 10, 2005Assignee: Senju Metal Industry Co., Ltd.Inventor: Shohei Mawatari

Patent number: 6719144Abstract: When a printed board is soldered by a dipping method, a great deal of dross is generated on a jet solder tank. The dross is a mixture of melted solder and oxide. A worker takes out the dross from the jet solder tank, and throws it away. Thus, a large amount of the solder is consumed. The present invention relates to a separating device for separating oxide and solder from dross. A container (21) is provided with a heater (22). A cover (24) is set over the container (21) to be freely attachable or detachable, and further a non-oxidizing gas supplying opening (28) is made in the cover (24) or the container (21). A stirring spatula (25) for stirring the surface of a melted solder (23) put into the container (21) is set near the surface of the melted solder (23).Type: GrantFiled: February 16, 2001Date of Patent: April 13, 2004Assignees: Sony Corporation, Senju Metal Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Toshio Tooyama, Kenichi Tomitsuka, Shohei Mawatari, Tomotake Kagaya, Eihiko Muramatsu

Patent number: 6513702Abstract: An automatic wave soldering apparatus includes a solder reservoir for holding a supply of molten solder and a solder nozzle vertically disposed in the solder reservoir to establish a solder wave through which a printed circuit board is moved. A pair of trapezoidal elements are secured within the nozzle. A Y-shaped baffle is disposed between the trapezoidal elements to form upwardly inclined narrowed upstream and downstream outlets. The upstream and downstream outlets are inclined at an acute angle against and in the direction of movement of the printed circuit board, respectively. A pair of valves are disposed at opposite sides of the baffle to selectively open and close the outlets. The bottom side of each of the trapezoidal elements forms a step to promote turbulence in the solder wave. The trapezoidal elements and the baffle collectively serve to increase the flow velocity of the molten solder through the outlets.Type: GrantFiled: October 23, 2001Date of Patent: February 4, 2003Assignee: Senju Metal Industry Co., Ltd.Inventor: Shohei Mawatari

Patent number: 6340110Abstract: A printed circuit board which has been soldered in a molten solder bath is cooled immediately thereafter with a cooling liquid at a rate of at least 10° C./second. Thermal effects of high-temperature solder during soldering are suppressed, and the metal matrix of the solder is refined, resulting in soldered connection of increased strength.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 2000Date of Patent: January 22, 2002Assignee: Senju Metal Industry Co., Ltd.Inventors: Hideki Nakamura, Shohei Mawatari
