Abstract
A soldering apparatus including a flux-applying device having a nut that is fitted into the soldering apparatus and the flux-applying device can change a fixed position of the nut easier than that of a convention example even if any adhered matters generated when each apparatus or device is used for a long time are adhered. The nut screws on to the screw shaft having a predetermined length. The nut is provided with at least one non-meshing part that does not mesh with the screw shaft and is formed parallel to a movement direction thereof. The non-meshing part extends from a forward end of the nut to a rear end thereof along whole length of the nut.
Claims6
A soldering apparatus comprising an adjusting member for a substrate flexible prevention mechanism, the adjusting member being changed to match a width of a substrate to be conveyed and including:
- a screw shaft which revolves;
- a nut having a flange portion for connection, a fixed position of the nut with regards to the screw shaft being movable forward or backward by a revolution of the screw shaft;
- and
- a substrate-supporting portion for supporting the substrate and preventing the flexibility of the substrate, the substrate-supporting portion being fixed to the nut through the flange portion for connection,
- wherein the nut contains an interior bore extending through a whole length of the nut, a screw portion within the interior bore extending from a forward end to a rear end of the nut, and at least one non-meshing part within the interior bore extending from the forward end to the rear end of the nut that does not mesh with the screw shaft, and
- wherein when the screw shaft revolves to change the fixed position of the substrate-supporting portion, adhered matter adhered and solidified to the screw shaft is removed by an edge of the non-meshing part accompanied by the revolution of the screw shaft.
A flux-applying device comprising an adjusting member, the adjusting member being changed to match a width of a substrate to be conveyed and including:
- a screw shaft which revolves;
- a nut having a flange portion for connection, a fixed position of the nut with regards to the screw shaft being movable forward or backward by a revolution of the screw shaft;
- and
- a supporting portion for supporting rails for conveying the substrate, the supporting portion allowing a width between the rails to be changed to match a width of the substrate and being fixed to the nut through the flange portion for connection,
- wherein the nut contains an interior bore extending through a whole length of the nut, a screw portion within the interior bore extending from a forward end to a rear end of the nut, and at least one non-meshing part within the interior bore extending from the forward end to the rear end of the nut that does not mesh with the screw shaft, and
- wherein when the screw shaft revolves to change a fixed position of the rails for conveying the substrate, adhered matter adhered and solidified to the screw shaft is removed by an edge of the non-meshing part accompanied by the revolution of the screw shaft.
