What is the production process of wireless charger?

With the continuous development of human society, the continuous advancement of science and technology, the popularization of smart phones has brought people an unprecedented technological experience. Smart phones have fast power consumption, short battery life, interface damage caused by frequent charging, and power banks are inconvenient to carry, etc. The problem also ushers in an opportunity for the development of mobile phone wireless chargers.

Since the iPhone 8 mobile phone also has the function of wireless charging, the wireless charger market for iPhone mobile phones has opened up rapidly, and various new wireless charger styles and functions have been gradually invented. More and more wireless chargers have entered our field of vision. Among them, what is the production process of the wireless charger, and what is its internal structure? Today, I will take you to understand the production process of the wireless charger in the form of pictures, texts, and videos.

The wireless charger is mainly composed of three parts: the main board, the coil and the shell. The main board directly determines the function and performance of the wireless charger and is the core module of the wireless charger. The motherboard is mainly composed of a main control chip, a driver chip, a power device (MOS), resistors and capacitors, and a PCB board.

Among them, the main board directly determines the function and performance of the wireless charger, and is the core module of the wireless charger. The motherboard is mainly composed of a main control chip, a driver chip, a power device (MOS), a resistor and a capacitor, and a PCB board. The coil is generally a standard module, and the relevant wireless charging standards strictly stipulate its structural size parameters.

Energy can be efficiently transmitted between two objects with the same resonant frequency, while the interaction between objects with different frequencies is weak. Wireless charging technology takes advantage of this principle. Similarly, wireless charging technology also applies the principle of electromagnetic wave induction and related AC induction technology. It uses corresponding coils at the sending and receiving ends to send and receive induced AC signals for charging.

Current flowing through the coil creates a magnetic field. Other non-energized coils will generate current when they are brought close to the magnetic field. Wireless charging applies this physical phenomenon by arranging coils that can resonate with magnetic field vibrations to extend the power supply distance.

1. Appearance design.

First, design the appearance of the product in the design software, build the structural detail model in the modeling software, and then render the material of the product.

After the shell is designed, you can open the film and inject the shell to produce the shell, and prepare the spare parts of the shell (screws, buttons, charging lines)

2.The second step: PCB board design
Design of PCB board for wireless charger

After designing the PCB board, design the solder paste printing stencil according to the size and circuit required by the circuit components, and start printing the solder paste.

Soldering of the PCB board of the wireless charger

The picture above is an empty board without any electronic components. First, it will be placed on a fully automatic printing machine and painted with a layer of solder paste. Solder paste is made by mixing solder powder, flux and other surfactants and thixotropic agents. It can be seen from the picture that there are more than 30 components in this wireless charger circuit board.

STM machine

Each SMT high-speed placement machine will be controlled by a small computer. The engineer will design the capacitor resistor chip material for each wireless charging circuit board, and the computer will program the preset operating procedures, which greatly improves the placement of the circuit board. slice accuracy.

STM machine program

The installation of electronic components has a fixed position and order, as shown in the lower right corner of the figure, the chip is being installed.

The installed circuit board enters the reflow soldering machine for reflow soldering. The so-called reflow soldering is to blow heated air or nitrogen to the circuit board with installed components to connect the circuit.

The picture above shows the reflow soldering operation of the lead-free environmental protection process. The one on the right is the reflow soldering equipment, and the internal temperature is as high as more than 200 degrees. There is also a computer on the reflow soldering machine, and the temperature of the reflow soldering machine and the speed of sliding over the PCB board with the material sheet pasted are designed by the program of this computer.

The PCB substrate after brushing paste, patch, and reflow soldering has become a complete PCBA. At this time, the PCBA needs to be inspected, and each part is judged according to the size of the components used in the PCB circuit and the direction of the components. function is normal.

AOI检测

The picture above shows the use of AOI automatic optical detector to inspect the PCBA. Through tens of times of magnification, you can graphically check whether there are problems such as virtual soldering and empty soldering in the process of chip and resistance-capacitance placement.

Welding the transmitter coil requires manual operation. It can be seen from the picture that the technician has a blue bracelet on his left hand. There is a wire on the bracelet that is grounded to prevent the human body from breaking down the high-precision chip due to static electricity.

Next, check whether the transmitting coil board is in normal condition. Here, the working conditions of different input voltages will be tested.

The picture shows the voltage and current when the wireless charger is fast charging, 9V/1.7A.

 

Aging test of wireless charger

This process is an aging test. Every qualified wireless charger needs power-on and load tests before leaving the factory, so that bad products can be screened out in advance during the test process; those that pass the aging test will enter the assembly process, and the bad ones will be Extract it to troubleshoot the problem. According to the engineer in the factory, the aging test takes 2 hours for single-coil wireless charging, and 4 hours for double-coil wireless charging.
