Abstract
Abstract In a method and a system in which while carrying objects to be treated to a preheating chamber and a reflow chamber adjacent thereto, hot gases are blown against the objects to be treated by cross flow blowers provided in the preheating chamber and the reflow chamber to melt solder so as to solder electronic parts on a circuit substrate; a free air introducing port is controllably provided in the vicinity of an intake port of the cross flow blower in the preheating chamber, and an exhaust port and an exhaust fan for exhausting gases having an amount corresponding to the free air taken from the free air introducing port, out of the preheating chamber are provided.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
110 words
A reflow soldering method for successively heating objects to be treated in which electronic parts are placed on a circuit substrate coated with solder while being carried into a preheating chamber and a reflow chamber adjacent thereto to melt said solder so as to solder said electronic parts on said circuit substrate, wherein a temperature for heating the objects to be treated in said preheating chamber is adjusted at least by introducing a low temperature gas into the preheating chamber in accordance with a heat capacity of the electronic parts on said circuit substrate and to a high temperature hot gas leaking from said reflow chamber into said preheating chamber.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
110 words
A reflow soldering method for successively heating objects to be treated in which electronic parts are placed on a circuit substrate coated with solder while being carried into a preheating chamber and a reflow chamber adjacent thereto to melt said solder so as to solder said electronic parts on said circuit substrate, wherein a temperature for heating the objects to be treated in said preheating chamber is adjusted at least by introducing a low temperature gas into the preheating chamber in accordance with a heat capacity of the electronic parts on said circuit substrate and to a high temperature hot gas leaking from said reflow chamber into said preheating chamber.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
46 words
A reflow soldering method according to claim 1, wherein either introduction of a low temperature gas into the preheating chamber or exhaust of at least a part of the high temperature hot gas which leaks from the reflow chamber into the preheating chamber is carried out.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
67 words
A reflow soldering method according to claim 1, wherein a temperature for heating the objects to be treated in the preheating chamber is adjusted on the basis of an output of either at least means for detecting a temperature of an interior of the preheating chamber, means for detecting a heat capacity of the electronic parts or means for inputting a heat capacity of known electronic parts.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
56 words
A reflow soldering method according to claim 1, wherein, when the heat capacity of the electronic parts is different in a widthwise direction of the circuit substrate or in every circuit substrate, a temperature for heating the objects to be treated in the preheating chamber is adjusted widthwise of the circuit substrate or every circuit substrate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
96 words
A reflow soldering system in which while carrying objects to be treated in which electronic parts are placed on a circuit substrate coated with solder into a preheating chamber and a reflow chamber adjacent thereto, hot gases are blown against said objects to be treated by cross flow blowers provided in said preheating chamber and said reflow chamber to melt solder so as to solder said electronic parts on said circuit substrate, wherein free air introducing means is controllably provided in the vicinity of an intake port of said cross flow blower in said preheating chamber.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
96 words
A reflow soldering system in which while carrying objects to be treated in which electronic parts are placed on a circuit substrate coated with solder into a preheating chamber and a reflow chamber adjacent thereto, hot gases are blown against said objects to be treated by cross flow blowers provided in said preheating chamber and said reflow chamber to melt solder so as to solder said electronic parts on said circuit substrate, wherein free air introducing means is controllably provided in the vicinity of an intake port of said cross flow blower in said preheating chamber.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
40 words
A reflow soldering system according to claim 5, wherein means are provided for exhausting a gas having an amount corresponding to that of free air taken into the preheating chamber from the free air introducing means, from said preheating chamber.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
90 words
A reflow soldering system in which objects to be treated in which electronic parts are placed on a circuit substrate coated with solder are successively heated while being carried into a preheating chamber and a reflow chamber adjacent thereto to melt said solder so as to solder said electronic parts on said circuit substrate, wherein means for exhausting at least a part of a high temperature gas leaking from said reflow chamber into said preheating chamber is provided in a boundary portion between said preheating chamber and said reflow chamber.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
90 words
A reflow soldering system in which objects to be treated in which electronic parts are placed on a circuit substrate coated with solder are successively heated while being carried into a preheating chamber and a reflow chamber adjacent thereto to melt said solder so as to solder said electronic parts on said circuit substrate, wherein means for exhausting at least a part of a high temperature gas leaking from said reflow chamber into said preheating chamber is provided in a boundary portion between said preheating chamber and said reflow chamber.
