[0043] The PLC controller 500 is disposed on the frame 100 and is respectively controlled and connected with the feeding mechanism 200, the conveying mechanism 300 and the placing mechanism 400.

[0044] Specifically, when placing the switches on a plate, the switches are placed in the loading vibration plate 210, and at the same time, an empty placing plate 420 is placed on the movable plate 410, and the plate placing machine is started. The switches are loaded through the loading vibration plate 210 and are transferred to the collecting device 220 through the conveying channel 230. After the collecting device 200 collects the switches, the clamping device 330 clamps the collected switches, and the moving device 320 places the clamped switches on the placing plate 420, thereby finally realizing automatic plate placing. During the plate placing process, no manual operation is required, thereby saving labor costs and improving the plate placing efficiency. The entire operation of the plate placing machine is automated, and only needs to be controlled by the PLC controller 500, thereby making the plate placing machine highly automated.

[0045] In addition, in order to improve the efficiency of the plate swinging, the loading mechanism 200, the conveying mechanism 300 and the placing mechanism 400 in this embodiment all adopt double stations and are controlled by a PCL controller 500, so as to improve the efficiency and automation of the plate swinging of the switch.

[0046] See also Figures 5 to 8 , Fig.13The collecting device 220 includes a dislocated material channel 221, a serial connection component 222 and a pushing component 223. The dislocated material channel 221 is arranged on the frame 100 through a second linear guide rail 224, and the dislocated material channel 221 is provided with a groove 221a and a fixed block 221b.

[0047] Specifically, after the feeding vibration plate 210 vibrates the switch into the transmission channel 230, the transmission channel 230 sequentially transmits the switch to the push groove 223c of the support seat 223a, and then the push plate 223b sequentially pushes the switch in the push groove 223c into the groove 221a of the offset material channel 221. While pushing, the switch (the switch has two through holes) is inserted into the ejector pin 222b of the series component 222, until the ejector pin 222b is fully inserted, and the transmission mechanism 300 clamps and moves the ejector pin block 222a, and transmits the switch to the placement mechanism 400 for placement;

[0048] In the present embodiment, two groups of offset material channels 221 and two groups of serial connection components 222 are respectively provided, and the serial connection components 222 are arranged on the offset material channels 221. When the ejector pins 222b of one group of serial connection components 222 are full of switches, they will be clamped by the conveying mechanism 300. At this time, the second linear guide rail 224 will drive the offset material channel 221 to move, so that the other group of serial connection components 222 cooperates with the pushing component 223 to insert the ejector pins 222b of this group of serial connection components 222 into the switches. After the switches on the current group of serial connection components 222 are placed on the placing mechanism 400, the conveying mechanism 300 will put the serial connection components 222 back to the empty offset material channel 221. The switches are collected cyclically by the two groups of offset material channels 221 and the two groups of serial connection components 222, thereby improving the collection efficiency of the switches, and finally improving the switch placement efficiency.

[0049] See also Figures 9 to 11The moving device 320 includes a servo motor 321, a synchronous belt set 322 and a third linear guide 323. The servo motor 321 is fixed on the vertical plate 310 and connected to the synchronous belt set 322. The third linear guide 323 is arranged on one side of the vertical plate 310 and connected to the synchronous belt set 322 through a pressure plate 324. The clamping device 330 includes a pressing cylinder 331, a crossbeam 332, a clamping cylinder 333, a clamping claw 334 and a baffle assembly 335. The pressing cylinder 331 is connected to the third linear guide 323. One end of the crossbeam 332 is connected to the pressing cylinder 331 and the other end is connected to the baffle assembly 335. The clamping cylinder 333 is fixed on the crossbeam 332, and the clamping claw 334 is connected to the clamping cylinder 333. The baffle assembly 335 includes a connecting plate 335a, a U-shaped support block 335b and a stop block 335c. The connecting plate 335a is fixedly connected to the cross beam 332, the U-shaped support block 335b is vertically connected to the connecting plate 335a, and the stop block 335c is movably arranged on the U-shaped support block 335b through an elastic member 335d and a return cylinder 335e.

[0050] Specifically, when the collecting device 220 is full of switches, the servo motor 321 is started, driving the synchronous belt group 322 to rotate, so that the pressing cylinder 331 moves to the top of the ejector block 222a of the serial assembly 222, and the pressing cylinder 331 drives the clamping cylinder 333 to move downward, and at the same time, the clamping cylinder 333 drives the clamping claw 334 to grab the serial assembly 222, and then the servo motor 321 drives the serial assembly 222 to move, and move it to the placement mechanism 400, and the switches are placed on the plate to realize the transmission of the switches;

[0051] In order to prevent the switch on the ejector pin 222b from falling outward when the serial assembly 222 is clamped and moved, the clamping device 330 is provided with a baffle assembly 335, and the baffle assembly 335 is used to block the switch on the ejector pin 222b to prevent it from falling. Specifically, the connecting plate 335a is fixedly connected to one end of the crossbeam 332, and the U-shaped opening direction of the U-shaped support block 335b is connected to the connecting plate 335a, and the baffle 335c is inserted into the U-shaped support block 335b and is locked by the elastic member 33 5d and the return cylinder 335e act on the stopper 335c. When the series component 222 is clamped, the stopper 335c blocks the insertion entrance of the ejector pin 222b to prevent the switch from falling. When the switch is placed on the display plate 420, the return cylinder 335e pushes upward to push the stopper 335c upward and open the insertion entrance of the ejector pin 222b, so that all the switches are placed on the display plate 420. After being placed in place, the stopper 335c returns to its original position through the elastic member 335d, thereby isolating the switch and preventing the switch from falling.

[0052] See also Fig.12A plurality of placement grooves 421 are provided on one side of the placement plate 420, one end of the placement groove 421 is opened 422, and a step 423 is provided at the opening 422. A positioning column (not shown) is provided on the other side of the placement plate 420, and a positioning hole 411 matching the positioning column is provided on the movable plate 410.

[0053] In this embodiment, when the conveying mechanism 300 conveys the serial assembly 222 to the placing plate 420, the switch on the ejector pin 222b falls into the placing groove 421, and the rear stopper 335c moves upward. At the same time, the first linear guide rail 430 is started to move the placing plate 420 away from the conveying mechanism 300. When the placing plate 420 moves, the switch on the ejector pin 222b is pulled outward. In order to facilitate the pulling out of the switch, a step 423 is provided at the opening 422 of the placing plate 420. The step 423 blocks the switch. Finally, all the switches on the ejector pin 222b can be placed in the placing groove 421, so that the switches are automatically placed and the placement efficiency is improved.

[0054] A plurality of placement slots 421 are provided on the placement plate 420. After the first placement slot 421 is placed, the servo motor 321 moves the series connection component 222 to the next placement slot 421 for placement, so that one placement plate 420 can collect multiple rows of switches, and the servo motor 321 can accurately control the moving position, so that the placement machine has a high degree of automation.
