Abstract

A shielding cover mounting and dismounting apparatus for mounting or dismounting a shielding cover connected with a circuit board. The circuit board has an upper surface and a lower surface, and the shielding cover is connected with the lower surface. The apparatus includes a base, a first supporting seat, a second supporting seat, a heater and a moving seat. The first supporting seat is disposed on the base and has a bearing cavity. The shielding cover and the circuit board are disposed in the bearing cavity, and the shielding cover is disposed between the circuit board and a bottom surface of the bearing cavity. The second supporting seat is disposed in an opening of the bearing cavity. The heater is disposed at one side of the upper surface of the circuit board. The moving seat drives the heater to move closer to or away from the circuit board.

Claims

1. A shielding cover mounting and dismounting apparatus for mounting or dismounting a lower shielding cover connected with a circuit board, the circuit board having an upper surface and a lower surface, the lower shielding cover being connected with the lower surface, the shielding cover mounting and dismounting apparatus comprising:

a base;

a first supporting seat disposed on the base, the first supporting seat has a bearing cavity, the lower shielding cover and the circuit board are disposed in the bearing cavity, and the lower shielding cover is disposed between the circuit board and a bottom surface of the bearing cavity;

a second supporting seat including a second elastic member, the second supporting seat is disposed in an opening of the bearing cavity, the second elastic member supports the second supporting seat on the base, whereby the second supporting seat can move relative to the first supporting seat in the opening of the bearing cavity via the second elastic member, wherein a position of the second supporting seat corresponds to the lower shielding cover to support the circuit board in the bearing cavity;

a heater disposed at one side of the upper surface of the circuit board disposed in the bearing cavity, the heater is movably abutted on the upper surface of the circuit board to heat the lower shielding cover connected on the lower surface of the circuit board whereby the lower shielding cover is capable of being dismounted from the circuit board; and

a moving seat including a plurality of third elastic members, the third elastic members connect the moving seat to the heater, the moving seat drives the heater to move closer to or away from the circuit board.

2. The shielding cover mounting and dismounting apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the third elastic members are disposed at a first side of the heater, the moving seat further has a stop member, the stop member is disposed outside a second side of the heater, when the heater abuts on the upper surface of the circuit board, the third elastic members pushes the heater, and the second side of the heater abuts on the stop member.

3. The shielding cover mounting and dismounting apparatus according to claim 2, wherein the second side of the heater is hung from the moving seat.

4. The shielding cover mounting and dismounting apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the base further comprises a plurality of first elastic members, when the moving seat drives the heater to move closer to the circuit board to abut on the upper surface of the circuit board, the first supporting seat exerts force on the base whereby the first elastic members are compressed.

5. The shielding cover mounting and dismounting apparatus according to claim 4, wherein when the moving seat drives the heater to move closer to the circuit board to abut on the upper surface of the circuit board, the lower shielding cover exerts force to the second supporting seat, the second supporting seat exerts force to the second elastic member whereby the second elastic member is compressed.

6. The shielding cover mounting and dismounting apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the circuit board further comprises an upper shielding cover, the upper shielding cover is connected with the upper surface of the circuit board, and the heater abuts on the upper shielding cover to heat the upper shielding cover and the lower shielding cover.

7. The shielding cover mounting and dismounting apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the heater further comprises a fourth elastic member, the fourth elastic member is protrudingly disposed at one side of the heater opposite to the connection of the moving seat, when the heater abuts on the upper shielding cover of the circuit board, the upper shielding cover compresses the fourth elastic member, when the heater moves away from the upper shielding cover, the fourth elastic member pushes the upper shielding cover to separate the heater from the upper shielding cover.

8. The shielding cover mounting and dismounting apparatus according to claim 6, wherein the heater further has a heating portion, a first peripheral contour of the heating portion corresponds to a second peripheral contour of the upper shielding cover, when the heater abuts on the upper shielding cover, the first peripheral contour of the heating portion touches the second peripheral contour of the upper shielding cover to heat the second peripheral contour of the upper shielding cover.

9. The shielding cover mounting and dismounting apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the heater further has a heating portion, the heating portion is disposed at one side of the upper surface corresponding to a position of the lower shielding cover, a first peripheral contour of the heating portion corresponds to a third peripheral contour of the lower shielding cover, when the heater abuts on the upper surface, the heating portion heats the third peripheral contour of the lower shielding cover.

10. The shielding cover mounting and dismounting apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the lower shielding cover is connected with the lower surface by solder.
