[0003] Generally, electronic components are usually detected by a dedicated detection system. The electronic component detection system mainly includes a detection mechanism, a discharging mechanism, and a clamping robot. After the production of electronic components is completed, they are placed on the detection table of the detection mechanism for placement, and are detected by the detection mechanism. After the detection is completed, they are then conveyed by the clamping robot to the discharging platform of the discharging mechanism for output, completing the detection process of the electrical components.

[0004] Although the existing detection systems can provide convenience for the detection of electronic components, the placement of electronic components on the detection platform is all manual placement, resulting in low detection efficiency of electronic components and difficult to ensure the position accuracy when placing electronic components, resulting in a decrease in the detection accuracy of the detection mechanism.

For example, it may be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it may be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it may be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it may be the communication inside two components or the interaction relationship between two components. For those of ordinary skill in the art, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0053] In one embodiment of the present invention, as Figures 1-2 shown, a material automatic positioning and conveying device is provided, including a solid material device 10 and a material clamping device 20. The solid material device 10 includes a conveying table 30 and a material blocking mechanism 40. A conveyor belt 31 is arranged on the top of the conveying table 30. The material blocking mechanism 40 includes a first material blocking component 41, a first sensor 42, and a second material blocking component 43 arranged in sequence along the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 31. When the first sensor 42 senses that the material is approaching, the second material blocking component 43 is activated and intercepts the material close to the second material blocking component 43. When the first sensor 42 senses that the material is moving away, the first material blocking component 41 is activated and intercepts the material close to the first material blocking component 41. The material clamping device 20 is located on one side of the conveying table 30 and is used to clamp the material fixed on the second material blocking component 43.

[0054] Specifically, the automatic positioning and conveying device for materials includes a solid material device 10 and a material clamping device 20. The solid material device 10 includes a conveying table 30 and a material blocking mechanism 40. A conveyor belt 31 is arranged on the top of the conveying table 30. The material blocking mechanism 40 includes a first material blocking component 41, a first sensor 42, and a second material blocking component 43. During operation, a number of electronic components 10a are placed on the surface of the conveyor belt 31, and the conveyor belt 31 drives the electronic components 10a to be conveyed successively towards the first material blocking component 41, the first sensor 42, and the second material blocking component 43. When the first sensor 42 senses the approach of the electronic component 10a, the second material blocking component 43 is activated. When the first sensor 42 senses the departure of the electronic component 10a, the first material blocking component 41 is activated and intercepts the electronic component 10a located at the first material blocking component 41. The electronic component 10a is conveyed to one side of the second material blocking component 43 under the further drive of the conveyor belt 31, and the second interception group intercepts the electronic component 10a. Finally, the material clamping device 20 clamps the electronic component 10a located at the second material blocking component 43 and transports it towards the detection mechanism. Through the above settings, the automatic placement of the electronic component 10a during detection can be achieved by the material device and the material clamping device 20, effectively improving the detection efficiency of the electronic component 10a.

[0055] In another embodiment of the present invention, as Figures 1-3 shown, the conveying table 30 includes a fixed frame 32, a clamping plate 33, a first moving plate 34, a second moving plate 35, and two side plates 36. The two side plates 36 are located on the top of the fixed frame 32 and are respectively located on both sides of the fixed frame 32. The conveyor belt 31 is located between the two side plates 36. The clamping plate 33 is fixed to the top of one of the side plates 36 and extends towards the conveyor belt 31. The first moving plate 34 and the second moving plate 35 are both slidably connected to the top of the other side plate 36 and are arranged opposite to the clamping plate 33. A material conveying channel 331 is arranged between the clamping plate 33, the first moving plate 34, and the second moving plate 35. The first material blocking component 41 and the second material blocking component 43 are respectively fixed to the first moving plate 34 and the second moving plate 25. The first material blocking component 41 is fixed to the second moving plate 35, and the second material blocking component 43 is fixed to the first moving plate 34.

[0056] Specifically, the two side plates 36 can facilitate the fixation of the clamping plate 33, the first moving plate 34, and the second moving plate 35. A material conveying channel 331 is provided between the clamping plate 33, the first moving plate 34, and the second moving plate 35. During operation, the electronic components 10a are placed in the material conveying channel 331 for conveyance. Since the first moving plate 34 and the second moving plate 35 are slidably connected to the side plates 36, the width of the material conveying channel 331 can be changed by the movement of the first moving plate 34 and the second moving plate 35 to accommodate the conveyance of electronic components 10a of different types and sizes.

[0057] In this embodiment, further, as Figures 1-3 shown, a conical input port 333 is provided at the material input end of the material conveying channel 331. The conical input port 333 can facilitate the input of the electronic components 10a into the material conveying channel 331.

[0058] In another embodiment of the present invention, as Figures 1-3 shown, the conveying platform 30 further includes a first slider 37, two sliding plates 38, and two driving cylinders 39. A plurality of supporting blocks 361 are provided on the outer side surface of the side plate 36. The two sliding plates 38 are fixed on the top surfaces of the supporting blocks. A first sliding rail 381 is provided on the surface of the sliding plate 38. The first slider 37 is slidably connected to the surface of the first sliding rail 381. The first moving plate 34 and the second moving plate 35 are both fixed on the surface of the first slider 37. The two driving cylinders 39 are both fixed on the sliding plate 38 and are respectively drivingly connected to the first moving plate 34 and the second moving plate 35.

[0059] Specifically, by providing two sliding plates 38 on the top of the side plate 36, the sliding plates 38 are fixed on one side of the side plate 36 through the supporting blocks. The sliding plates 38 correspond to the first moving plate 34 and the second moving plate 35 respectively. The first sliding rail 381 is provided on the surface of the sliding plate 38, so that the first moving plate 34 and the second moving plate 35 slide on the surface of the first sliding rail 381 through the first slider 37, realizing the sliding connection between the first moving plate 34, the second moving plate 35 and the sliding plate 38. The first moving plate 34 and the second moving plate 35 can be respectively driven by the driving cylinder 39 and the second driving cylinder 39 to facilitate changing the width of the material conveying channel 331.

[0060] In this embodiment, further, as Figures 1-3 shown, the number of the first sliding rails 381 on the surface of each sliding plate 38 is two, and the two first sliding rails 381 are respectively located at both ends of the sliding plate 38.

[0061] In this embodiment, further, as Figure 3As shown, reinforcing plates 362 are provided between the first moving plate 34 and the second moving plate 35 and the side plate 36 to strengthen the structure between the first moving plate 34 and the second moving plate 35 and the side plate 36.

[0062] In another embodiment of the present invention, as Figures 1-2 shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the second material blocking assembly 43 includes a fixing plate 431, a second slide rail 432, a second slider 433, a material blocking air rod 434, a driving frame 435, a material blocking rod 436, a deviation rectifying cylinder 437 and a second inductor 438. The fixing plate 431 is fixed to the surface of the first moving plate 34. The second slide rail 432 is fixed to the surface of the fixing plate 431. The second slider 433 is slidably connected to the surface of the second slide rail 432. The driving frame 435 is fixed to the surface of the second slider 433. A fixing block 382 is provided at one end of the fixing plate 431 away from the conveyor belt 31. The fixed end of the material blocking air rod 434 is fixed to the fixing block 382. The driving end of the material blocking air rod 434 is fixedly connected to the driving frame 435. The material blocking rod 436 is fixed to the driving frame 435 and extends towards the conveyor belt 31. The second inductor 438 is fixed to one end of the fixing plate 431 close to the conveyor belt 31. The deviation rectifying cylinder 437 is fixed to the fixing plate 431. A deviation rectifying plate 439 is provided on the driving end of the deviation rectifying cylinder 437. When the second inductor 438 senses that the material is approaching, the deviation rectifying cylinder 437 drives the deviation rectifying plate 439 to move towards the material conveying channel 331.

[0063] Specifically, when the first inductor 42 senses that the electronic component 10a is approaching, the material blocking cylinder is activated. The driving rod of the material blocking cylinder extends and drives the driving frame 435 and the material blocking rod 436 to move towards the plastic conveying channel. The second slide rail 432 and the second slider 433 facilitate the movement of the driving frame 435, so that the material blocking rod 436 intercepts the electrical components passing through the second material blocking assembly 43. At the same time, the second inductor 438 senses the electronic component 10a. When the second inductor 438 senses the electronic component 10a, the deviation rectifying cylinder 437 is activated and drives the deviation rectifying plate 439 to rectify the deviation of the electronic component 10a, finally realizing the interception function of the second material blocking assembly 43 for the electronic component 10a.

[0064] In this embodiment, further, as Figures 1-3 shown, a baffle 332 is provided on one side of the clamping plate 33 close to the material conveying channel 331. The baffle 332 facilitates the deviation rectification of the deviation rectifying cylinder 437.

[0065] In another embodiment of the present invention, as Figures 1-2As shown, the first material blocking assembly 41 includes a first material blocking cylinder 411 and a second material blocking cylinder 412 located on one side of the first material blocking cylinder 411. The first material blocking cylinder 411 is located between the first sensor 42 and the second material blocking cylinder 412. The driving ends of both the first material blocking cylinder 411 and the second material blocking cylinder 412 are provided with material blocking plates 413. The number of the first sensors 42 is two, and both ends of the two first sensors 42 are respectively fixed to the second moving plate 35 and the clamping plate 33. When the first sensor 42 close to the first material blocking cylinder 411 senses that the material is approaching, the material blocking air rod 434 on the second material blocking assembly 43 starts and drives the material blocking rod 436 to move towards the direction of the material conveying channel 331. When the first sensor 42 far from the first material blocking cylinder 411 senses that the material is moving away, the first material blocking cylinder 411 and the second material blocking cylinder 412 start and drive the material blocking plates 413 to move towards the direction of the material conveying channel. When the second sensor 438 senses that the material is approaching, the first material blocking cylinder 411 starts and drives the material blocking plate 413 to move away from the direction of the material conveying channel 331.

[0066] Specifically, two first sensors 42 are provided. When the first sensor 42 close to the first material blocking cylinder 411 senses that the electronic component 10a is approaching, the material blocking air rod 434 starts and drives the material blocking rod 436 to move towards the direction of the material conveying channel 331. When the first sensor 42 far from the first material blocking cylinder 411 senses that the electronic component 10a is moving away, the first material blocking cylinder 411 and the second material blocking cylinder 412 start and drive the material blocking plates 413 to move towards the direction of the material conveying channel. The material blocking plates 413 simultaneously intercept the two electronic components 10a located at the first material blocking cylinder 411 and the second material blocking cylinder 412 respectively. When the second sensor 438 senses that the electronic component 10a is approaching, the first material blocking cylinder 411 starts and drives the material blocking plate 413 to move away from the direction of the material conveying channel 331, so that the first material blocking cylinder 411 releases the interception of the electronic component 10a located at the first material blocking cylinder 411, enabling the electronic component 10a to enter the second material blocking assembly 43, which provides convenience for the clamping and transportation of the clamping device 20.

[0067] In another embodiment of the present invention, as Figures 1-2As shown, the material blocking mechanism 40 further includes a third material blocking component 44 having the same structure as the second material blocking component 43. The third material blocking component 44 is located between the first material blocking component 41 and the first sensor 42 and is fixed to the surface of the first moving plate 34. The third material blocking component 44 is fixed to the surface of the first moving plate 34 through the fixing plate 431. When the second sensor 438 on the second material blocking component 43 senses the approach of the material, the material blocking air rod 434 on the third material blocking component 44 drives the material blocking rod 436 to move towards the direction of the material conveying channel 331.

[0068] Specifically, when the second sensor 438 on the second material blocking component 43 senses the approach of the material, the material blocking air rod 434 on the third material blocking component 44 drives the material blocking rod 436 to move towards the direction of the material conveying channel 331. At the same time, the first material blocking cylinder 411 releases the interception of the electronic component 10a located at the first material blocking cylinder 411. The electronic component 10a passes through the first sensor 42 and reaches one side of the third material blocking component 44, and is intercepted by the material blocking rod 436 at the third material blocking component 44. When the second sensor 438 on the third material blocking component 44 senses the electronic component 10a, the deviation correction cylinder 437 is activated to correct the deviation of the electronic component 10a, so that the clamping device 20 can simultaneously clamp and transport the electronic components 10a located on the second material blocking component 43 and the third material blocking component, effectively improving the transportation efficiency of the clamping device 20 and significantly improving the detection efficiency of the detection system.

[0069] In another embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 1 shown, the clamping device 20 includes a fixed table 21, a manipulator 22, a fixture 23 and a driving component 24. The fixed table 21 is located on one side of the conveying table 30. A slideway 211 is provided on the surface of the fixed table 21, and a chute 212 is provided inside the slideway 211. The bottom end of the manipulator 22 is slidably connected to the slideway 211 through the chute 212. The driving component 24 includes a servo motor 241 and a lead screw. The servo motor 241 is fixed to the end of the slideway 211. The lead screw passes through the lower end of the manipulator 22 and is fixedly connected to the driving shaft of the servo motor 241. The fixture 23 is located at the top end of the manipulator 22 and is used for clamping the material.

[0070] Specifically, the manipulator 22 can clamp the electronic component 10a through the fixture 23 located at its end. The manipulator 22 can slide along the chute 212 under the drive of the driving component 24, which provides convenience for the clamping and transporting work of the clamping device 20.

[0071] In another embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 1 and 5As shown in the figure, the fixture 23 includes a vertical frame 231, two upper clamping hands 232 and two lower clamping hands 233 having the same structure as the two upper clamping hands 232. The vertical frame 231 is rotatably connected to the end of the manipulator 22. Two upper brackets 234 are provided on the peripheral side of the vertical frame 231, and two lower brackets 235 are arranged opposite to the two upper brackets 234. The upper clamping hand 232 and the lower clamping hand 233 both include a fixed seat 236 and two clamping blocks 237 arranged oppositely. The two clamping blocks 237 are both slidably connected to the surface of the fixed seat 236. Each fixed seat 236 is fixed to the ends of the two upper brackets 234 and the two lower brackets 235.

[0072] Specifically, with the above settings, during operation, the two lower clamping hands 233 simultaneously clamp the electronic components 10a located on the second material blocking assembly 43 and the third material blocking assembly 44. At this time, the upper clamping hands 232 are in an idle state. The manipulator 22 transports the two electronic components 10a to the detection mechanism. Since the vertical frame 231 is rotatably connected to the end of the manipulator 22, when the electronic components 10a are transported to the detection mechanism, the manipulator 22 rotates the vertical frame 231 so that the upper clamping hands 232 are located below, clamp the electronic components 10a that have completed detection on the detection mechanism, and place the electronic components 10a that have completed detection at the output mechanism for transmission. Then, when returning to the detection mechanism, the manipulator 22 rotates the vertical frame 231 again, and the lower clamping hands 233 place the untested electronic components 10a in the detection mechanism for detection. At the same time, the manipulator 22 returns to the conveying table 30 to clamp another group of electronic components 10a. Through the above settings, the detection efficiency of the electronic components 10a can be effectively improved.

[0073] In another embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 1 shown, the automatic material positioning and conveying device further includes a conveying table 50. The conveying table 50 includes a conveying frame 51 and a conveyor belt 52. The conveying table 50 is located at one end of the conveying table 30 close to the second material blocking assembly 43. The conveyor belt 52 is located on the top of the conveying table 30 and on one side of the conveyor belt 31.

[0074] Specifically, after the second material blocking component 43 and the third material blocking component 44 intercept the electronic components 10a, the clamping device 20 can clamp the electronic components 10a at the second material blocking component 43 and the third material blocking component 44 and transport them to the detection mechanism for detection; alternatively, by restarting the material blocking cylinders on the second material blocking component 43 and the third material blocking component 44, the material blocking rods on the second material blocking component 43 and the third material blocking component 44 can be moved away from the material conveying channel 331, so that the electronic components 10a located at the second material blocking component 43 and the third material blocking component 44 are conveyed to the surface of the conveyor belt 52 under the further conveyance of the conveyor belt 31 and transported to the detection mechanism for detection, so as to enable the material automatic positioning and conveying device to adapt to the transportation of electronic components of different sizes.

[0075] In addition to being clamped and transported by the clamping device 20, the electronic components 10a with relatively simple structures can also be transported through the transfer table 50.

[0076] In an embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 6 shown, a material conveying method is provided, which is executed by the material automatic positioning and conveying device, and includes the following steps:

[0077] S100: Place a plurality of electronic components 10a on the surface of the conveyor belt 31, and the conveyor belt 31 drives the electronic components 10a to be conveyed in sequence towards the first material blocking component 41, the first sensor 42, and the second material blocking component 43.

[0078] S200: When the first sensor 42 senses the approach of the electronic component 10a, the second material blocking component 43 is activated.

[0079] S300: When the first sensor 42 senses the departure of the electronic component 10a, the first material blocking component 41 is activated and intercepts the electronic component 10a located at the first material blocking component 41.

[0080] S400: The electronic component 10a is conveyed to one side of the second material blocking component 43 under the drive of the conveyor belt 31, and the second interception group intercepts the electronic component 10a.

[0081] S500: The clamping device 20 clamps and transports the electronic component 10a located at the second material blocking component 43.

[0082] Through the above transportation method, the automatic placement of the electronic components 10a during detection can be realized, effectively improving the detection efficiency of the electronic components 10a.

[0083] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
