[0001] The present application claims priority to the Chinese patent application No. 202421020585.9, filed on May 11, 2024, and entitled "A sorting mechanism, conveying detection device and automatic sorting equipment", the content of which is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety. TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The present application belongs to the technical field of circuit board production, in particular relates to a sorting mechanism, conveying detection device and automatic sorting equipment. BACKGROUND

[0003] PCB (Printed Circuit Board), also known as printed wiring board, is an important electronic component and a carrier for electrical interconnection of electronic components. During the preparation and processing of PCBs, due to manufacturing process errors, surface detection and circuit diagnosis of the formed PCBs are often required to remove unqualified products and ensure product production quality.

[0004] The applicant finds that some manufacturers have designed sorting equipment for sorting and detecting whether the PCBs are qualified. However, the existing sorting equipment can only sort the stacked PCBs, and for some high-quality PCB assemblies, a separator paper is provided between two adjacent PCB assemblies when the materials are delivered. The existing sorting equipment needs to manually remove the separator paper in the PCB assembly before sorting the PCB assembly, thereby reducing the sorting efficiency of the sorting equipment and easily damaging the PCBs during sorting.

[0015] The second pick-and-place mechanism is arranged on the rack and above the conveying mechanism, the finished product storage mechanism and the waste product storage mechanism.

[0016] The finished product storage mechanism and the waste product storage mechanism are arranged on one side of the output end of the conveying mechanism.

[0017] The second pick-and-place mechanism is configured to transport the qualified to-be-sorted board on the conveying mechanism to the finished product storage mechanism, and transport the unqualified to-be-sorted board on the conveying mechanism to the waste product storage mechanism.
