Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automated manufacturing, in particular to a PCB board and PIN needle crimping device and a use method thereof. Background Art

[0002] PCB, or printed circuit board, is one of the important components of the electronics industry. Almost every electronic device, from electronic watches and calculators to computers, communication electronic equipment, and military weapon systems, as long as there are electronic components such as integrated circuits, must use printed circuits to make electrical interconnections between the components. The printed circuit board consists of an insulating base plate, connecting wires, and pads for assembling and welding electronic components. It has the dual functions of a conductive circuit and an insulating base plate. It can replace complex wiring to achieve electrical connections between components in the circuit, which not only simplifies the assembly and welding of electronic products, reduces the wiring workload under traditional methods, and greatly reduces the labor intensity of workers, but also reduces the size of the whole machine, reduces product costs, and improves the quality and reliability of electronic equipment. The printed circuit board has good product consistency. It can adopt standardized design, which is conducive to mechanization and automation in the production process. At the same time, the entire assembled and debugged printed circuit board can be used as an independent spare part, which is convenient for the interchange and maintenance of the whole product. At present, printed circuit boards have been widely used in the production and manufacturing of electronic products.

[0003] The earliest printed circuit boards used were paper-based copper-clad printed circuit boards. Since the emergence of semiconductor transistors in the 1950s, the demand for printed circuit boards has risen sharply. In particular, the rapid development and widespread application of integrated circuits have made the size of electronic equipment smaller and smaller, and the density and difficulty of circuit wiring have become increasingly greater, which requires the continuous updating of printed circuit boards. At present, the varieties of printed circuit boards have developed from single-sided boards to double-sided boards, multi-layer boards and flexible boards; the structure and quality have also developed to ultra-high density, miniaturization and high reliability; new design methods, design supplies and board materials and board processes are constantly emerging. In recent years, various computer-aided design application software for printed circuit boards has been popularized and promoted in the industry. In specialized printed circuit board manufacturers, mechanized and automated production has completely replaced manual operations.

[0004] The existing PCB and shell assembly device is divided into a PCB feeding mechanism and a PCB pressing mechanism. Generally, there are two ways to arrange the process in an automated production line. One way is to divide the PCB feeding and pressing into two process stations. The first station places the PCB in the shell and transfers it to the second station for pressing. In this way, during the transmission process, the PCB is not positioned in the shell and is in a free state. The transmission speed is low and the stability is not high. Another way is to arrange two actuators at the same station, first loading and then pressing. This station needs to perform more actions and takes a long time. In addition, the above two methods require the PCBA and the corresponding shell to have an interlocking guide mechanism. While increasing the manufacturing cost, the PCBA body may bend and the components are at risk of being damaged.

[0005] Therefore, how to provide a PCB board and PIN needle crimping device, based on the existing PCB board processing technology, by improving the actions and methods of loading and pressing processes, improve the production efficiency and yield rate of the product, reduce the complex requirements of the product body design structure, and reduce customer manufacturing costs, is a technical problem that needs to be urgently solved by technical personnel in this field.

Compared with the traditional process, the PCB board and the corresponding shell have an interlocking guide mechanism, which reduces the manufacturing cost while avoiding the risk of the PCB board body being bent and damaged by the interlocking guide mechanism, thereby greatly improving the yield rate.

[0030] (3) In the PCB board and PIN needle crimping device disclosed in the present invention, a clamping claw is used to pass through the positioning hole set on the PCB board to directly clamp the PCB board. When approaching the lower shell, the clamping claw is released, and the device continues to descend to complete the pressing process steps.

[0068] Example 2

[0069] On the basis of Example 1, this example further proposes a method for using a PCB board and a PIN needle crimping device, which has the same technical features and technical descriptions as Example 1 and will not be repeated in this example.

[0070] Combination Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the method of using the PCB board and PIN needle crimping device is specifically as follows:

[0071] Step 1: Preliminary positioning is achieved by controlling the screwing in and out of the adjusting screw on the press adjustment plate 6, and adjusting the horizontal position of the servo press 5, the purpose of which is to make the PCB board clamping module and the tray 2 arranged below it basically coincide with each other in the vertical direction;

[0072] Step 2: The PCB carrier transfer pneumatic module 16 is connected to the cylinder (not shown in the figure) through the air pipe, and the solenoid valve 19 sends a signal to control the air circuit to be connected. The PCB carrier transfer pneumatic module (16) is started, driving the PCB board support plate 17 set in the slideway on its upper surface to move in the horizontal direction. When it reaches the picking position of the PCB board clamping module, the product presence sensor 14 sends a signal to control the PCB carrier transfer pneumatic module 16 to stop moving, completing the loading process step;

[0073] Step 3: The servo press 5 is started, and the PCB board clamping module connected to the servo press 5 moves downward and descends to the PCB board clamping module picking position, and the clamping claw 12 passes through the positioning hole set on the PCB board, so that the PCB board and the vertical axis of symmetry of the housing to be press-fitted coincide with each other;

[0074] Step 4: The solenoid valve 19 sends a signal to control the air circuit to be connected, the clamping cylinder 11 is started, and the clamping claw 12 performs an action to pick up the PCB board. At this time, the secondary positioning pins 15 of the PCB board pass through both sides of the PCB board support plate 17;

[0075] Step 5: The servo press 5 is started, and the PCB board clamping module connected to the servo press 5 moves upward, and the PCB board secondary positioning pins 15 are pulled out from both sides of the PCB board bearing support plate 17;

[0076] Step 6: The product presence sensor 14 sends a signal again to control the PCB carrier transfer pneumatic module 16 to run in the opposite direction, driving the PCB board support plate 17 set in the slideway on its upper surface to return to the initial position;

[0077] Step 7: The servo press 5 is started, and the PCB board clamping module connected to the servo press 5 moves downward, and the secondary positioning is achieved through the PCB board secondary positioning pin 15 and the positioning pin hole set on the tray 2, the purpose of which is to make the PCB board clamping module and the tray 2 set below it further coincide with each other in the vertical direction. When the PCB board approaches the shell, the solenoid valve 19 sends a signal to control the air circuit to disconnect, the clamping cylinder 11 is reset, the clamping claw 12 is released, and the PCB board contacts the shell;

[0078] Step 8: The device continues to descend, and the PIN passes through the hole on the PCB that is slightly smaller than the diameter of the PIN, completing the press-fit process step. The tray moves downward and is transferred to the area of ​​the PIN height detection device via a conveyor belt. At this point, a PCB board and PIN crimping method that uses one process station to perform the two process steps of loading and press-fitting has been realized.

[0079] The above description of all disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to implement or use the present application. Various modifications to these embodiments will be apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application will not be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but will conform to the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
