Abstract
A clamping device which uses its own weight to apply pressure during a soldering operation to a solderable part or component for attachment to a circuit board is provided. The clamping device includes a base plate and at least one press block which is configured to be arranged on the base plate and is free to move up or down by gravity relative to the base plate. When the gravitational orientation of the clamping device is correct, the press block moves down relative to the base plate and so presses on the solderable part during soldering.
Claims11
A clamping device for soldering operations, the clamping device comprising:
- a base plate;
- and
- at least one press block configured to be arranged on the base plate, wherein the at least one press block is configured to be moved up or down relative to the base plate;
- wherein when the at least one press block moves down relative to the base plate, the weight of the at least one press block exerts pressure on the base plate, wherein the at least one press block comprises a first cylinder block portion and a second cylinder block portion, the base plate defines at least one first through hole, and each of the at least one first through hole corresponds to one press block, wherein the clamping device further comprises at least one snap ring, the second cylinder block portion of the press block comprises two ends positioned opposite each other, each snap ring corresponds to one press block, and one end of the second cylinder block portion of the press block faces away from the first cylinder block portion that passes through to the bottom side of the first through hole, the snap ring clips around the periphery of the second cylinder block portion, whereby the snap ring and the first cylinder block portion are located on different sides of the base plate.
