[0028] Reference Figures 1 to 6 According to an embodiment of the present invention, a high-efficiency insertion machine includes a top seat 1, a large arm 2, a small arm 3, a mounting seat 4, a rotating component 5, a lifting frame 6 and a clamping component 7.

By rotating the upper arm 2 and the lower arm 3, the clamping assembly 7 can be quickly positioned to the position where the plug-in is required. Then, the rotating assembly 5 can drive multiple clamping assemblies 7 to rotate together, so as to adjust to a suitable plug-in angle. In addition, a card slot 61 is provided on the inner side of the lifting frame 6, and a first protruding end 71 is provided on the upper end of the clamping assembly 7.

The present plug-in machine can differentially control the lifting and lowering of the clamping assembly 7. It can lift a single clamping assembly 7 so that other clamping assemblies 7 will not scratch the circuit board, and it can also lift multiple clamping assemblies 7 together to meet various usage requirements, thereby improving the plug-in efficiency.

When the first extension end 71 extends in the horizontal direction and is clamped in the slot 61, the second extension end 72 retracts and disengages from the support frame 8, and the lifting frame 6 drives the clamping assembly 7 to rise and fall synchronously. When the second extension end 72 extends and is clamped on the support frame 8, the first extension end 71 retracts and disengages from the slot 61, and the support frame 8 can prevent the clamping assembly 7 from falling due to its own gravity. Preferably, the drive cylinder 73 is an air cylinder. The drive cylinder 73 is connected to an external air source through an air pipe, and an air pipe passage is provided in the middle of the support frame 8 in the vertical direction, and the air pipe is passed through the air pipe passage.

[0037] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 as well as Figure 7In some embodiments of the present invention, the clamping assembly 7 further includes a driving shaft 76 and a connecting frame 77. The driving shaft 76 can move in the vertical direction and is connected to the rotating assembly 5 through the connecting frame 77. The connecting frame 77 is connected to the rotating assembly 5, so the rotating assembly 5 can drive the clamping assembly 7 to rotate through the connecting frame 77. At the same time, the driving shaft 76 can move vertically relative to the connecting frame 77.

[0038] Furthermore, specifically Figure 6 as well as Figure 7 As shown, the clamping assembly 7 also includes a pneumatic clamp 78, which is installed at the lower end of the driving shaft 76.

The pneumatic clamp 78 is controlled to open and close by inputting pressure gas, so as to grab the electronic components and insert them.

[0039] In addition, specific Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the rotating assembly 5 includes a fourth motor 51, the output end of the fourth motor 51 is installed with a third synchronous pulley, the third synchronous pulley is connected to the fourth synchronous pulley through the second synchronous belt transmission, the third synchronous pulley is horizontally rotatably installed on the mounting seat 4, and the fourth synchronous pulley is connected to the clamping assembly 7 through the connecting frame 77.
