In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for distinction in description and have no special meaning.

[0066] This embodiment provides a loading and unloading conveying device for plate-shaped members (hereinafter referred to as the loading and unloading conveying device), which can replace manual conveyance of plate-shaped members to facilitate the production efficiency of production processes such as processing, inspection, and loading of plate-shaped members.

[0067] In this embodiment, specifically, the PCBA board 100 is used as the plate-shaped member, and the loading and unloading conveying device is used to convey the PCBA board 100 for the appearance inspection device 200 that performs appearance inspection on the PCBA board 100 for detailed description. Of course, in other optional embodiments, the loading and unloading conveying device can also be used for conveying operations of plate-shaped members such as trays, tooling plates, plate-shaped products, etc. Similarly, the loading and unloading conveying device is not limited to conveying plate-shaped members for inspection devices, and no specific limitation is made here.

[0068] Please refer to Figure 1 , the loading and unloading conveying device includes a first board storage device 1, a second board storage device 2, and a handling device 3. The first board storage device 1 is configured to place the PCBA board 100 to be processed. The second board storage device 2 is configured to place the processed PCBA board 100. The handling device 3 can be docked with the first board storage device 1, the second board storage device 2, and the appearance inspection device 200 for processing the PCBA board 100 respectively.

[0069] With the above structure, the handling device 3 of the loading and unloading conveying equipment can take out the PCBA board 100 to be processed from the first board storage device 1 and convey the PCBA board 100 to be processed to the appearance inspection device 200, so that the appearance inspection device 200 can perform appearance inspection processing on the PCBA board 100. After the appearance inspection device 200 finishes the processing, the handling device 3 conveys the processed PCBA board 100 to the second board storage device 2, thereby replacing manual operation for the conveyance of the PCBA board 100 and improving production efficiency.

[0070] Specifically, as Figure 1 shown, the first board storage device 1 and the second board storage device 2 can be respectively arranged adjacent to both sides of the appearance inspection device 200. Both ends of the handling device 3 extend to the first board storage device 1 and the second board storage device 2 respectively. The above layout can make the handling movement path of the handling device 3 the shortest and save handling time.

[0071] In this embodiment, both the first board storage device 1 and the second board storage device 2 include a frame 4 and a board storage bin 5 placed on the frame 4. The board storage bin 5 includes a plurality of first slot portions 51 spaced along the height direction, and the first slot portions 51 can insert the PCBA board 100. To facilitate the classified placement of the PCBA boards 100 that have been inspected and processed according to qualified products and defective products, the board storage bin 5 of the second board storage device 2 can be divided into different areas for placing qualified products and defective products. Of course, a plurality of board storage bins 5 can also be provided in the second board storage device 2, and each board storage bin 5 respectively places qualified products and defective products, which will be specifically described below.

[0072] The bearing surface of the frame 4 and the bottom of the board storage bin 5 can be respectively provided with plug-in structures that can be adaptively inserted, so as to facilitate the insertion or removal of the board storage bin 5 into or out of the frame 4. Optionally, the plug-in structure can be a slot on the bearing surface of the frame 4 and a plug bar on the bottom of the board storage bin 5. A limit stop block or the like can be further provided on the bearing surface of the frame 4, so that the board storage bin 5 has a clear spatial position and placement posture after being inserted on the frame 4.

[0073] In this embodiment, the first slot portion 51 generally includes two parallel slot bodies, and slots are respectively formed on the opposite surfaces of the two slot bodies, so that the two side edges of the PCBA board 100 can be correspondingly inserted into the two slots. Structures such as the second slot portion 3161, the third slot portion 3211, and the fourth slot portion 3311 mentioned below are the same as or similar to the structure of the first slot portion 51, and will not be specifically described again.

[0074] In this embodiment, the handling device 3 includes a board taking mechanism 31, a board feeding mechanism 32, and a transfer mechanism 33. The board taking mechanism 31 is configured to take out the PCBA board 100 to be processed from the board storage bin 5 of the first board storage device 1. The board feeding mechanism 32 is configured to feed the processed PCBA board 100 into the second board storage device 2. The transfer mechanism 33 extends to the board taking mechanism 31, the appearance inspection device 200, and the board feeding mechanism 32, and can be docked with the board taking mechanism 31, the appearance inspection device 200, and the board feeding mechanism 32 to transfer the PCBA board 100.

[0075] Specifically, the board taking mechanism 31 includes a first base plate 311, a first cylinder 312, a hook plate 313, a collar 314, and a second cylinder 315.

[0076] The first base plate 311 serves as the mounting structure for the first cylinder 312. The first cylinder 312 can extend its output shaft towards the first board storage device 1, and its output shaft is parallel to the opening direction of the first slot portion 51. The first cylinder 312 is rotatably arranged on the first base plate 311 along its axial direction. The diameter of the output shaft of the first cylinder 312 is smaller than the spacing between the PCBA boards 100 in the board storage bin 5, so that it can extend into the board storage bin 5 of the first board storage device 1 between two PCBA boards 100.

[0077] The hook plate 313 is arranged at the end of the output shaft of the first cylinder 312, and the width of the hook plate 313 is smaller than the spacing between the PCBA boards 100 in the board storage bin 5. When the output shaft of the first cylinder 312 extends, the hook plate 313 is located at the rear side of the PCBA boards 100 in the board storage bin 5.

[0078] The collar 314 is sleeved on the fixed end of the first cylinder 312, and the collar 314 has an extension extending away from the first cylinder 312.

[0079] The output shaft of the second cylinder 315 is perpendicular to the opening direction of the first slot portion 51. The fixed end of the second cylinder 315 is hinged to the base plate, and the end of the output shaft of the second cylinder 315 is hinged to the extension.

[0080] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and in combination with Figure 4 When the hook plate 313 is in the standby state, the first cylinder 312 is in the non-extended state, the hook plate 313 is at the front side of the board storage bin 5, and the second cylinder 315 is in the extended state that makes the hook plate 313 in a substantially horizontal posture (i.e., its length direction is substantially parallel to the horizontal plane).

[0081] Please refer to Figure 2 、 Figure 3 and in combination with Figure 5, when the hook plate 313 picks up the board, the first cylinder 312 extends, and the hook plate 313 and the output shaft of the first cylinder 312 extend and place the hook plate 313 at the rear side of the PCBA board 100 in the storage bin 5. Subsequently, the second cylinder 315 contracts, causing the first cylinder 312 to flip along the axial direction of the first cylinder 312, thereby rotating the hook plate 313 so that there is a projection overlap between the hook plate 313 and the PCBA board 100 to be taken out in the horizontal direction. Thus, after the first cylinder 312 contracts, the hook plate 313 can take out the PCBA board 100 from the storage bin 5. During the board picking operation, the transfer mechanism 33 can be directly docked with the storage bin 5 to directly receive the taken-out PCBA board 100.

[0082] Preferably, to facilitate the storage of the PCBA board 100 to be detected by the transfer mechanism 33, the board picking mechanism 31 may further include a first intermediate transfer table 316, a first lifting module 317, and a first translation module 318. The first intermediate transfer table 316 has a second slot portion 3161 capable of inserting the PCBA board 100, and the second slot portion 3161 can be docked with the storage bin 5 to receive the PCBA board 100 taken out by the hook plate 313 from the first slot portion 51. The first lifting module 317 has its movable end carrying the first intermediate transfer table 316 to drive the first intermediate transfer table 316 to lift, so that the second slot portion 3161 can be docked with each first slot portion 51. The output shaft of the first translation module 318 is parallel to the opening direction of the first slot portion 51, and when the output shaft of the first translation module 318 extends, it can push the PCBA board 100 inserted in the second slot portion 3161 to the transfer mechanism 33.

[0083] With the above structure, when the transfer mechanism 33 is docked with the appearance detection device 200 or the second storage device 2, the board picking mechanism 31 can pre-take out the PCBA board 100 to be processed and temporarily place it on the first intermediate transfer table 316, thereby saving the waiting time of the transfer mechanism 33 when picking up the board and improving production efficiency.

[0084] In an alternative embodiment, the board picking mechanism 31 may further include a second base plate 319, a slide rail 3110, a slider 3111, a pull rod 3112, and a third cylinder 3113. The second base plate 319 is fixed to the first intermediate transfer table 316. When the first intermediate transfer table 316 is docked with the storage bin 5, the second base plate 319 intersects with the storage bin 5. The first base plate 311 is hinged to the top of the second base plate 319 and can flip along the horizontal hinge axis to avoid the transfer mechanism 33 docked with the second slot portion 3161. The slide rail 3110 is fixed to the second base plate 319 extending in the vertical direction. The slider 3111 is slidably connected to the slide rail 3110. The pull rod 3112 is respectively hinged to the slider 3111 and the first base plate 311. The third cylinder 3113 is fixed to the second base plate 319 extending in the vertical direction, and the output end of the third cylinder 3113 is fixedly connected to the slider 3111.

[0085]

[0085] When the third cylinder 3113 pulls the slider 3111 through the above structure, the slider 3111 moves downward along the slide rail 3110, thereby pulling the pull rod 3112, and then the pull rod 3112 pulls the first substrate 311, causing the first substrate 311 to flip along its hinge axis with the second substrate 319 to avoid the transfer mechanism 33, being suitable for the transfer mechanism 33 to dock with the first intermediate transfer table 316.

[0086]

[0086] In an optional embodiment, in order to enable the PCBA board 100 received by the transfer mechanism 33 to have a placement posture suitable for being detected by the appearance detection device 200, that is, to be placed at 0 degrees or 180 degrees, the first intermediate transfer table 316 may further include a rotating cylinder 3162 with a rotating shaft arranged in the vertical direction, and the second slot portion 3161 is provided at the end of the rotating shaft. Thus, the second slot portion 3161 can be rotated by the rotating cylinder 3162, so that the PCBA board 100 received by the second slot portion 3161 rotates 180 degrees and then the transfer mechanism 33 receives the PCBA board 100.

[0087]

[0087] To facilitate continuously supplying the PCBA board 100 to the transfer mechanism 33, the first board storage device 1 includes more than two board storage bins 5, and all the board storage bins 5 of the first board storage device 1 are arranged in parallel. Thus, after one board storage bin 5 is empty, the remaining board storage bins 5 can continue to supply the PCBA board 100 to the transfer mechanism 33, and the empty board storage bin 5 can be loaded.

[0088]

[0088] Correspondingly, the board taking mechanism 31 further includes a first horizontal module 3114, the first horizontal module 3114 is mounted on the movable end of the first lifting module 317, and the first intermediate transfer table 316 is mounted on the movable end of the first horizontal module 3114, so that the first horizontal module 3114 can drive the first intermediate transfer table 316 to dock with each board storage bin 5 of the first board storage device 1.

[0089]

[0089] As mentioned above, to facilitate distinguishing between qualified products and defective products, the second board storage device 2 includes more than two board storage bins 5, and all the board storage bins 5 of the second board storage device 2 are arranged in parallel. Preferably, there are more than two board storage bins 5 for placing qualified products or defective products, so that more than two board storage bins 5 are suitable for alternately receiving qualified products or defective products.

[0090] In this embodiment, the board feeding mechanism 32 includes a second intermediate transfer table 321, a second horizontal module 322, a second lifting module 323, and a second translation module 324. The second intermediate transfer table 321 has a third slot portion 3211 capable of inserting the PCBA board 100, and the third slot portion 3211 can be docked with the storage bin 5 of the second board storage device 2. The movable end of the second horizontal module 322 carries the second intermediate transfer table 321. The movable end of the second lifting module 323 carries the second horizontal module 322 to drive the second horizontal module 322 to lift. The second translation module 324 is fixed to the second intermediate transfer table 321, and the output shaft of the second translation module 324 is parallel to the opening direction of the first slot portion 51. When the output shaft of the second translation module 324 extends, it can push the PCBA board 100 inserted in the third slot portion 3211 into the storage bin 5 of the second board storage device 2.

[0091] With the above structure, the second intermediate transfer table 321 can be translated horizontally on the second horizontal module 322 to be docked with each storage bin 5 of the second board storage device 2, and the second lifting module 323 can drive the second horizontal module 322 to lift so that the second intermediate transfer table 321 is docked with each first slot portion 51 of each storage bin 5.

[0092] In this embodiment, the transfer mechanism 33 includes a third intermediate transfer table 331, a third translation module 332, and a third horizontal module 333. The third intermediate transfer table 331 has a fourth slot portion 3311 capable of inserting the PCBA board 100, and the fourth slot portion 3311 can be docked with the second slot portion 3161, the appearance detection device 200, and the third slot portion 3211. The third translation module 332 is fixed to the third intermediate transfer table 331, and the output shaft of the third translation module 332 is parallel to the opening direction of the first slot portion 51. When the output shaft of the third translation module 332 extends, it can push the PCBA board 100 inserted in the fourth slot portion 3311 into the appearance detection device 200 or the third slot portion 3211. The movable end of the third horizontal module 333 carries the third intermediate transfer table 331, and the third horizontal module 333 extends to the board taking mechanism 31, the appearance detection device 200, and the board feeding mechanism 32.
