Abstract

In the flux applying device, a control portion controls conveying rollers or the like so that thickness of flux applied to solder is controlled. The winding roller rotates so that the solder is conveyed at the conveying speed. The drawing-out roller applies any load (back tension) to the solder backward along the conveying direction of the solder when drawing out the solder. The solder is conveyed at the predetermined speed and dipped into the flux tank containing flux. The solder is pulled up from the flux tank at the conveying speed vertically. By pulling up the solder from the flux tank at the constant conveying speed vertically, the interfacial tension acts on the solder 9 a and the flux, so that the flux having a uniform thickness according to the conveying speed remains on the surface and back surface of the solder.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A liquid coating device comprising:
a flux tank into which an object to be coated is dipped into liquid to coat the liquid on a surface of the object, the object having a length;
a conveyor system that conveys the object at a predetermined speed along an object conveying path, the object coated in the flux tank being vertically lifted upward from a surface of the liquid;
a load applying member that applies a predetermined load to the object conveyed by the conveying system, the load applying member being disposed at an upstream side of the flux tank along the object conveying path when a side of the object conveying path in which the object enters the flux tank is set to be the upstream side and a side of the object conveying path in which the object is discharged from the flux tank is set to be a downstream side;
a dryer that dries the object on which the liquid is applied;
a cooler that cools the dried object;
a conveying speed measurement sensor that measures a conveying speed of the object;
a control system that controls the conveying system based on a measurement result of the conveying speed measurement sensor; and
a chamber that applies the liquid to the object, wherein the chamber comprises a housing forming an interior space and at least the flux tank, the dryer and the cooler are located within the interior space, wherein the chamber comprises a discharge port that is communicated to an outside of the chamber and discharges hot air from within the interior space of the chamber to the outside of the chamber.

2. The liquid coating device according to claim 1 , wherein the conveying system comprises a drawing-out roller that draws out the object to be coated, and
the drawing-out roller comprises the load applying member.

3. The liquid coating device according to claim 1 , wherein the conveying system comprises a winder that winds the object, and
the winder winds the object so that a conveying speed of the object becomes constant.

4. The liquid coating device according to claim 1 , wherein the conveying system comprises at least one conveying roller,
the conveying roller comprises two rollers that nip the object, and
the rollers nip both ends of the object along a width direction of the object.

5. The liquid coating device according to claim 3 , wherein the conveying system further comprises an interlayer paper sheet supplying roller that supplies an interlayer paper sheet when the winder winds the object.

6. The liquid coating device according to claim 1 , wherein the object to be coated comprises solder and the liquid to be coated includes flux.

7. The liquid coating device according to claim 2 , wherein the conveying system comprises a winder that winds the object, and
the winder winds the object so that a conveying speed of the object becomes constant.

8. The liquid coating device according to claim 2 , wherein the conveying system comprises at least one conveying roller,
the conveying roller comprises two rollers that nip the object, and
the rollers nip both ends of the object along a width direction of the object.

9. The liquid coating device according to claim 3 , wherein the conveying system comprises at least one conveying roller,
the conveying roller comprises two rollers that nip the object, and
the rollers nip both ends of the object along a width direction of the object.

10. The liquid coating device according to claim 2 , wherein the object to be coated comprises solder and the liquid to be coated includes flux.

11. The liquid coating device according to claim 3 , wherein the object to be coated comprises solder and the liquid to be coated includes flux.

12. The liquid coating device according to claim 4 , wherein the object to be coated comprises solder and the liquid to be coated includes flux.

13. The liquid coating device according to claim 5 , wherein the object to be coated comprises solder and the liquid to be coated includes flux.
