Description

[0002] Circuit boards, also known as PCB boards, are the installation and connection carriers of electronic automation equipment chips and components. They are widely used and have huge market demand. At present, the electroplating process of circuit boards mainly adopts the following two types of production lines: gantry type and ring type. Gantry type PCB board electroplating line has a very high application ratio in the market due to its low cost, simple maintenance and high production efficiency. Gantry type PCB board electroplating line has realized automated production to a certain extent and improved production efficiency, but traditional gantry type electroplating lines all use manual operation to realize the upper and lower boards of circuit boards. When putting the boards on, workers clamp the circuit boards one by one to the plate fixture of the electroplating line. After the electroplating is completed, the workers remove the circuit boards on the plate fixture one by one. Since the process of putting on and taking off the boards cannot be automated, the efficiency is low, and the labor intensity of workers is high, it will also cause certain health hazards to the workers.

[0003] With the increasingly fierce competition in circuit board prices, the increase in labor costs and the enhancement of workers' environmental awareness, electroplating plants have an increasingly strong demand for the automation of loading and unloading of electroplating lines. In the past decade, dozens of gantry-type circuit board electroplating production lines at home and abroad have tried various different loading and unloading automation solutions, but due to the complex loading and unloading processes of gantry-type electroplating lines, the driving errors of gantry-type electroplating lines, the suspension swing of the flying bar, and the irregular deformation of the flying bar after long-term use, the position of the circuit board fixture will be randomly drifted and swung, making it impossible for the circuit board to be accurately grasped and placed on the board fixture.

[0053] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 The automatic loading and unloading device of this embodiment includes a frame 1, a flying bar carrier 2, a loading and unloading manipulator 3 and a material unloading platform 4. The automatic loading and unloading device is arranged at the front end of a conventional gantry-type electroplating line and docked with the loading end of the electroplating line. A crane guide rail 101 is arranged on the gantry frame 100 of the electroplating line, and a crane 102 is arranged on the crane guide rail 101 and can move along the crane guide rail 101. The crane 102 is used to transport the PCB board clamped by the flying bar assembly. An electroplating tank 103 is arranged below the gantry frame 100. The PCB board is clamped by the flying bar assembly and can be placed in the electroplating tank 103 for electroplating. A flying bar lifting beam 104 is arranged on the crane 102, and the flying bar lifting beam 104 can move up and down in the vertical direction. The Feiba lifting beam 104 can cooperate with the Feiba assembly 105 to transport the Feiba assembly 105, lift or lower the Feiba assembly 105, and move it to the fixture seat of the gantry frame 100. The frame 1 of the automatic plate loading and unloading device is docked with the front end of the gantry frame 100 of the electroplating line, and the driving guide rail 101 on the gantry frame 100 extends to the upper part of the frame 1 that is docked with the gantry frame 100, so that the driving 102 can move along the driving guide rail 101 to the upper part of the front end of the frame 1, and put the Feiba assembly 105 on the fixture seat 2-1 of the Feiba carrier 2 through the Feiba lifting beam 104 thereon, or move the Feiba assembly located on the fixture seat 2-1 of the Feiba carrier 2 to the fixture seat of the gantry frame 100.

[0054] A rack track 1-1 is provided on the rack 1, and the Feiba carrier 2 is provided on the rack track 1-1 and can move on the rack 1 along the rack track 1-1, so that the upper and lower plate manipulator 3 can load and lower the plate. The Feiba carrier 2 of this embodiment adopts a wheeled structure driven by a motor to achieve movement, and the moving direction of the Feiba carrier 2 (the extension direction of the rack track) is consistent with the extension direction of the driving guide rail 101. The clamp seat 2-1 provided on the Feiba carrier 2 is roughly V-shaped, and the Feiba assembly 105 can be placed in the placement groove of the clamp seat 2-1 and supported by the clamp seat 2-1. The Feiba assembly 105 includes a Feiba beam 105-1, a copper flat 105-2 connected to the Feiba beam 105-1, a plurality of plate clamps 105-3 arranged on the copper flat 105-2, and a clamp synchronous opening and closing mechanism 105-4 for controlling the synchronous opening or closing of the plate clamps 105-3, and the plate clamps 105-3 are used to clamp the PCB board. The two ends of the Feiba beam 105-1 can be placed in the placement groove of the clamp seat.

[0055] The upper and lower plate manipulator 3 of the present invention can adopt a conventional two-dimensional or three-dimensional manipulator, such as a manipulator using a bionic manipulator arm, and multiple bionic manipulator arms can act synchronously. Considering the economic cost and simplifying the equipment structure, the upper and lower plate manipulator of this embodiment adopts a gantry-type two-dimensional manipulator, and several PCB board grabbing parts are arranged on the manipulator truss 3a in a direction parallel to the Feiba beam. The manipulator truss 3a is the manipulator arm of the upper and lower plate manipulator, and the PCB board grabbing part is a suction cup 3-2 for adsorbing the PCB board. The number of PCB board grabbing parts on the manipulator truss 3a is set corresponding to the number of circuit boards clamped by a Feiba assembly. One or a group of suction cups grabs a PCB board, so that the upper and lower plate manipulator 3 can grab multiple PCB boards at a time and move them to the board fixture 105-3 of the Feiba assembly 105, or remove all the circuit boards clamped by the board fixture 105-3 at one time, so as to realize the one-time synchronous board loading and synchronous board unloading of multiple circuit boards. In this embodiment, a manipulator rail 3-1 is provided on the frame 1, and a manipulator truss 3a is provided on the manipulator rail 3-1, so that the upper and lower plate manipulator 3 can move along the manipulator rail 3-1. The moving direction of the upper and lower plate manipulator 3 of this embodiment (the extension direction of the manipulator rail) is consistent with the moving direction of the Feiba carrier 2. The upper and lower plate manipulator 3 can grab the PCB board on the unloading table 4 and move it to the Feiba component 105 or move the PCB board on the Feiba component 105 and place it on the unloading table 4 during the reciprocating movement, so as to realize the upper and lower plates. More preferably, the upper and lower plate manipulator 3 can also move in the vertical direction.

[0056] The width of the unloading platform 4 corresponds to the width of the Feiba beam 105-1. The unloading platform 4 of this embodiment is provided with a partitioning plate 4-1, which divides the unloading platform 4 into an upper plate area and a lower plate area. The upper plate area is used to place the PCB board to be electroplated, and the lower plate area is used to place the PCB board after electroplating. Furthermore, the loading platform 4 of this embodiment is provided with a belt conveyor 4-2, and the partitioning plate 4-1 is arranged on the belt conveyor 4-2. When the belt conveyor 4-2 is running, the partitioning plate 4-1 will also move with the belt conveyor 4-2, so as to adjust the size of the upper plate area and the lower plate area according to the upper plate or lower plate situation. The number of the partitioning plates 4-1 can be set to one or more according to the needs.

[0057] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a stabilizing plate assembly 5 is also provided on the Feiba carrier 2 or the frame 1. The stabilizing plate assembly 5 of this embodiment is provided on the Feiba carrier 2. The stabilizing plate assembly 5 is provided corresponding to the fixture seat 2-1 on the Feiba carrier 2, and is located on the side of the fixture seat 2-1 opposite to the upper and lower plate manipulator 3. The stabilizing plate assembly 5 includes a mounting frame 5-1, a cushion 5-2, and a cushion moving unit 5-3. The mounting frame 5-1 is connected to the body of the Feiba carrier 2 and is located below the Feiba carrier 2. The cushion 5-2 is movably provided on the mounting frame 5-1 and can be close to the fixture seat 2-1 (PCB board) or away from the fixture seat 2-1 (PCB board) under the control of the cushion moving unit 5-3. The cushion moving unit 5-3 of this embodiment adopts a cylinder, which is provided on the mounting frame 5-1. The cushion 5-2 is connected to the piston rod of the cylinder. When the cylinder is actuated, the cushion 5-2 is driven to move in the horizontal direction, close to or away from the PCB board. The cushion 5-2 can be pressed against the PCB board under the action of the cushion moving unit 5-3 to assist the stability of the PCB board during the process of loading and unloading the board. In particular, when unloading the board, the cushion 5-2 is pressed against the back of the PCB board to assist the suction cup 3-2 of the loading and unloading manipulator 3 to press and absorb the PCB board. Furthermore, the cushion 5-2 can also move in the vertical direction, such as by setting a cylinder that moves in the vertical direction, to better adapt to the position of the PCB board.

[0058] like Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, the clamp synchronous opening and closing mechanism of this embodiment is a chain type synchronous mechanism, and the plate clamp 105-3 is fixed on the copper flat 105-2 of the Feiba assembly. The clamp synchronous opening and closing mechanism 105-4 of this embodiment includes a pair of clamp opening and closing plates 105-4a, a synchronous screw rod 105-4b, a synchronous guide rod 105-4c, a synchronous motor 105-4d, a synchronous chain 105-4e, a synchronous wheel 105-4f and a transmission frame 105-4g. The clamp opening and closing plates 105-4a are respectively arranged on the outer sides (front and rear sides) of the clamp arms of the panel clamp 105-3 of the same Feiba assembly, and can respectively contact the tail ends of the clamp arms (the ends of the clamp arms that do not clamp the PCB board) of the panel clamp 105-3. When the clamp opening and closing plates 105-4a contact and clamp the panel clamp 105-3, the panel clamp 105-3 can be opened. When the clamp opening and closing plates 105-4a release the panel clamp 105-3, the panel clamp 105-3 is reset under the action of the compression spring (unnumbered) and restored to the closed state.

When the synchronous screw rod 105-4b rotates, the clamp opening and closing plate 105-4a is driven to move through the connecting plate 105-4h, so that the clamp opening and closing plate 105-4a can clamp or release the plate clamp 105-3. In order to better guide the movement of the clamp opening and closing plate 105-4a, the present embodiment sets a synchronous guide rod 105-4c on the transmission frame 105-4g, and the synchronous guide rod 105-4c passes through the connecting plate 105-4h, so that the connecting plate 105-4h can move along the synchronous guide rod 105-4c. The present embodiment adopts a motor and a synchronous screw rod, a chain, a synchronous wheel and other transmission structures to form a motion control mechanism of the clamp opening and closing plate, but in other embodiments, a motor + gear transmission combination structure or a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder and other driving elements can also be used to control the movement of the clamp opening and closing plate, and the clamp opening and closing plate is connected to the piston of the cylinder or hydraulic cylinder, and the opening / closing of the clamp opening and closing plate can be controlled when the cylinder or hydraulic cylinder is in motion.

When the first clamp arm 105-31 and the second clamp arm 105-32 rotate around the pin shaft, the clamp is opened or closed.

[0060] The action process of automatically loading and unloading the plates of the present invention is further described below:

[0061] When loading the board, the PCB board to be electroplated is placed on the unloading table 4, and multiple board clamps 105-3 on the same Feiba component are opened synchronously under the control of the clamp synchronous opening and closing mechanism 105-4. The upper and lower plate manipulators 3 pick up multiple PCB boards from the unloading table 4 at the same time, and move them to the corresponding position of the board clamp 105-3. At the same time, the cushion 5-2 of the stabilizing plate assembly 5 moves toward the PCB board under the control of the cushion moving unit 5-3, and presses against the back of the PCB board. The upper and lower plate manipulators 3 and the cushion 5-2 cooperate to keep the PCB board stable, and the clamp synchronous opening and closing mechanism 105-4 controls the board clamp 105-3 to close synchronously and clamp the PCB board, thereby completing the synchronous loading of the entire row of circuit boards, and the crane 102 moves the Feiba component 5 that has completed the loading to the electroplating line.

[0062] The process of removing the plate is opposite to that of removing the plate. After the Feiba assembly 5 carrying the PCB board that has been electroplated is moved from the crane 102 to the Feiba carrier 2, the upper and lower plate manipulator 3 moves to the corresponding position of the PCB board clamped by the board clamp 105-3, and the cushion 5-2 of the stabilizing assembly also moves to the back of the PCB board and abuts against the back of the PCB board. The suction cup on the upper and lower plate manipulator 3 sucks the PCB board, and the clamp synchronous opening and closing mechanism 105-4 controls the board clamp 105-3 on the same Feiba assembly to open synchronously, so that the upper and lower plate manipulator 3 can remove multiple circuit boards on a Feiba assembly at one time and move them to the unloading table 4. Example 2

[0063] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is the synchronous opening and closing mechanism of the clamp. Figure 7 , Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown, the clamp synchronous opening and closing mechanism 105-4 of this embodiment uses a gear clamp arm 105-4h' to control the opening and closing of the clamp opening and closing plate 105-4a. A pair of gear clamp arms 105-4h' are respectively arranged at both ends of the clamp opening and closing plate 105-4a. One end of the gear clamp arm 105-4h' is a meshing tooth portion, and the other end is in contact with or connected to the outer side of the clamp opening and closing plate 105-3. The two opposite gear clamp arms 105-4h' are meshed through the meshing tooth portion. The output shaft of the synchronous motor 15-4d is connected to the meshing tooth portion end of the gear clamp arm 105-4h' (directly or indirectly). When the synchronous motor 15-4 is working, the gear clamp arm 105-4h' can be driven to rotate through the meshing tooth portion, so that the gear clamp arm 105-4h' can control the plate clamp 105-3 to open or close through the clamp opening and closing plate 105-4a.

[0064] like Fig. 9 and Figure 9aAs shown, the plate clamp of this embodiment is also a symmetrical double-open type clamp, and the plate clamp includes a first clamp arm 105-31, a second clamp arm 105-32, a connecting rod 105-33, and a compression spring 105-34. The first clamp arm 105-31 and the second clamp 105-32 are arranged on the connecting rod 105-33, and the connecting rod 105-33 is connected to the copper flat 105-2. The first clamp arm 105-31 is provided with a first connecting portion 105-31a, and the first clamp arm 105-31 is connected to the connecting rod 105-33 through the first connecting portion 105-31a. The first connecting portion 105-31a and the connecting rod 105-33 are connected through a pin shaft, and the first clamp arm 105-31 can rotate around the pin shaft. Similarly, the second clamp arm 105-32 is provided with a second connecting portion 105-32a, and the second clamp arm 105-32 is connected to the connecting rod 105-33 through the second connecting portion 105-32a. The second connecting portion 105-32a and the connecting rod 105-33 are connected through a pin shaft, and the second clamp arm 105-32 can rotate around the pin shaft. The opposite ends of the first connecting portion 105-31a and the second connecting portion 105-32a are mutually meshing teeth, and the first clamp arm 105-31 and the second clamp arm 105-32 can be linked through the mutually meshing teeth. The compression spring 105-34 is arranged between the first clamp arm 105-31 and the second clamp arm 105-32. The compression spring 105-34 passes through the connecting rod 105-33, one end of the compression spring 105-34 abuts against the first clamp arm 105-31, and the other end abuts against the second clamp arm 105-32, so that the first clamp arm 105-31 and the second clamp arm 105-32 remain in a closed state. Example 3

[0065] The difference between the plate fixture used in this embodiment and in embodiment 2 is that the plate fixture used in this embodiment is an asymmetric single-opening plate fixture. Fig.10 and Fig.10a The plate clamp includes a first clamp arm 105-31, a second clamp arm 105-32 and a compression spring 105-34. Since the present embodiment is a single-open type clamp, one of the clamp arms is a fixed clamp arm (first clamp arm), which can be used as a connecting rod and connected to the copper flat 105-2, and the other clamp arm is a movable clamp arm (second clamp arm). The first clamp arm 105-31 and the second clamp arm 105-32 are correspondingly provided with a first connecting portion 105-31a and a second connecting portion 105-32a, and the first connecting portion 105-31a and the second connecting portion 105-32a are connected by a pin shaft, and the second clamp arm 105-32 can rotate around the pin shaft to open or close the plate clamp. The compression spring 105-34 is disposed between the first clamp arm 105-31 and the second clamp arm 105-32, with one end abutting against the first clamp arm 105-31 and the other end abutting against the second clamp arm 105-32, so that the first clamp arm 105-31 and the second clamp arm 105-32 remain in a closed state.

[0066] The two clamping arms of the symmetrical double-opening plate clamp are symmetrically arranged. When opening, the clamp opening and closing plates on both sides of the plate clamp press the clamping arms of the clamp at the same time, and the clamping arms open under the pressure, so that the PCB board can be fed in. When closing, the clamp pressing plates on both sides of the plate clamp release the clamping arms of the clamp at the same time, and the clamping arms clamp the PCB board. When the asymmetrical single-opening plate clamp is opened, one clamping arm remains motionless under the pressure of the clamp opening and closing plates, and the other clamping arm opens under the pressure of the clamp opening and closing plates; when the clamp opening and closing plates are released, the plate clamp is closed. The clamp synchronous opening and closing mechanism of this embodiment can have the same structure as the clamp synchronous opening and closing mechanism of embodiment 1, or the movement of the clamp opening and closing plates is driven by two independent motors respectively, one clamp opening and closing plate presses the fixed clamping arm first under the control of the motor, and the other clamp opening and closing plate presses the other movable clamping arm under the control of another motor to open the clamp, and the action process when closing is opposite.

[0067] Since all the plate clamps 105-3 on the same Feiba assembly need to be opened synchronously to achieve synchronous one-time loading and unloading of the plates, in order to ensure the efficiency and accuracy of loading and unloading the plates, this embodiment also provides a stabilizing mechanism 6 for clamping the Feiba beam 105-1 to maintain the stability and straightness of the Feiba beam. Fig.10 and Fig.11 As shown, the stabilizing mechanism of this embodiment includes a plurality of pairs of calipers 6-1 arranged opposite to each other, the calipers 6-1 are located on both sides of the Feiba beam 105-1, and the calipers 6-1 located on the same side of the Feiba beam 105-1 are connected through a caliper connecting plate 6-2, and the length of the caliper connecting plate 6-2 can correspond to the length of the Feiba beam 105-1. The caliper connecting plate 6-2 is arranged on the caliper synchronous screw 6-3, and the caliper synchronous screw 6-3 is located at both ends of the caliper connecting plate 6-2. The ends of the caliper synchronous screw 6-3 are provided with caliper synchronous wheels 6-4, and the caliper synchronous chain 6-5 bypasses the caliper synchronous wheels 6-4 at both ends of the caliper connecting plate 6-2. The caliper synchronous motor 6-6 drives the caliper synchronous wheel 6-4, and transmits power to the caliper synchronous screw rod 6-3 at both ends of the caliper connecting plate through the caliper synchronous chain 6-5, so that it drives the caliper connecting plate 6-2 to move synchronously, so that the caliper 6-1 connected to the caliper connecting plate 6-2 can clamp the flying bar beam 105-1, so that the flying bar beam 105-1 maintains a certain straightness, which is convenient for the plate fixture 105-3 to synchronously clamp the PCB board. The caliper synchronous screw rod 6-3, the caliper synchronous wheel 6-4, the caliper synchronous chain 6-5, and the caliper synchronous motor 6-6 constitute a caliper synchronization mechanism, wherein the caliper synchronous motor 6-6 is a driving unit. In other embodiments, a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder can also be used as a caliper synchronization mechanism to control the synchronous movement of the caliper.

[0068] Preferably, a clamping portion 6-1a protruding from the clamping surface (the surface opposite to the Feiba beam) of the caliper 6-1 is provided, and a spring 6-1b is provided between the clamping portion 6-1a and the caliper 6-1 (clamping surface). The position of the clamping portion 6-1a corresponds to the position of the Feiba beam.

[0069] As a variation of this embodiment, the stabilizing mechanism 6 can also be used to clamp the copper flat 105-2, or the stabilizing mechanism 6 can clamp the Feiba beam 105-1 and the copper flat 105-2 at the same time. Fig.12 As shown, the caliper 6-1 is provided with a Feiba beam clamping portion 6-1c corresponding to the Feiba beam 105-1 and a copper flat clamping portion 6-1d corresponding to the copper flat 105-2. The caliper 6-1 can clamp the Feiba beam 105-1 and the copper flat 105-2 at the same time to ensure the straightness of the Feiba beam 105-1 and the copper flat 105-2. Example 4

In addition, the unloading table of this embodiment includes a loading trolley 4-1 and a unloading trolley 4-2 that are independent of each other, and the loading trolley 4-1 and the unloading trolley 4-2 are respectively provided on the ground guide rail 4-3 and can move along the ground guide rail 4-3. The extension direction of the ground guide rail 4-3 of this embodiment is perpendicular to the moving direction of the flying bar carrier 2. Example 5

The lifting drive unit 8-1 of this embodiment adopts a cylinder, and the lifting drive unit 8-1 is provided on the Feiba carrier 2. The Feiba assembly support plate 8-2 is connected to the piston rod of the cylinder and can move in the vertical direction under the action of the cylinder, so as to lift the Feiba assembly 105 placed on the clamp seat 2-1 upward from the clamp seat 2-1 or put the Feiba assembly 105 downward into the clamp seat 2-1. When the trolley 102 moves to above the flybar carrier 2, the flybar component lifting mechanism 8 can remove the flybar component 105 from the trolley 102 and place it on the flybar carrier 2, or move the flybar component 105 on the flybar carrier 2 to the trolley 102. Example 6

[0072] Reference Fig.17 , Fig.18 and Fig.19 , the difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that: the fixture seat 2-1 of this embodiment is directly arranged on the frame 1, and a first fixture seat 2-1a is arranged at one end of the frame 1 close to the electroplating line, and a second fixture seat 2-1b is arranged at a position of the frame 1 close to the loading and unloading robot, and the second fixture seat 2-1b is located in front of the loading and unloading robot.

The cushion moving unit 5-3 preferably adopts a hydraulic cylinder or a pneumatic cylinder, which is arranged on the ground, and the piston rod is connected to the ground mounting frame 5-1'. When the hydraulic cylinder or the cylinder is actuated, it drives the ground mounting frame 5-1' to rotate around the hinge shaft. The installation position of the cushion 5-2 corresponds to the height of the PCB board clamped by the plate clamp, so that when the board is raised and lowered, the cushion 5-2 can be against the back of the PCB board to assist in the stability of the PCB board.

A transmission chain 11 passes around the four rotating shafts 10, and the transmission chain 11 is driven by a servo motor 12. The output shaft of the servo motor 12 drives the transmission chain 11 through a transmission wheel 13. When the servo motor 12 is working, the rotating shaft 10 can be driven to rotate through the transmission chain 11, and further driven to rotate the rails 9 to change the direction of the rails 9, so that the rails can be docked with the ground rails 4-3 located below the frame 1, so that the unloading table 4 can move between the frame 1 and the preparation area, or the rails 9 can be docked with the loading station or the unloading station, so that the unloading table 4 can move to the corresponding station. The transmission chain 11, servo motor 12 and transmission wheel 13 of this embodiment constitute a track steering mechanism of the track 9. In other embodiments, a cylinder or a hydraulic cylinder can also be used as the track steering mechanism to achieve the steering of the track. Example 7
