Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of testing equipment, and more particularly to a dual-axis module automatic testing machine. Background Technology

[0002] Current PCB testing typically involves placing the PCB inside a shielded box for testing, then removing it after testing and separating the finished product from the defective one.

[0003] During PCB testing, the PCB needs to be placed on a carrier for charging, transfer, and other processes. Existing automated testing lines typically use multi-station mechanical clamping for the transfer and distribution of carriers and materials. However, multi-axis robotic arms are expensive to build, use, and maintain, and achieving higher efficiency requires more space to accommodate the assembly line and shielding enclosures. While using robotic arms for carrier retrieval offers high accuracy and efficiency, it occupies one of the robotic arm's work cycles, increasing the overall production cost. In contrast, manual carrier retrieval and sorting are inefficient and cost-effective.

[0106] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more readily understood, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be practiced in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0107] like Figures 1-14 As shown, the present invention discloses a dual-axis module automatic testing machine, which includes: a main support 101, one end of which is equipped with a transmission line 110, the transmission line 110 being used for a transport vehicle;

[0108] The main support 101 is provided with a feeding line 120, which cooperates with the transmission line 110 and is used to transfer samples on the carrier.

[0109] The main support 101 is provided with a plurality of shielding boxes 140. The shielding boxes 140 cooperate with the feeding line 120. The feeding line 120 places the sample taken from the carrier into the shielding box 140, and the feeding line 120 takes out the tested sample from the shielding box 140.

[0110] The main support 101 is provided with a recycling module 150, and the conveying line 120 places the substandard samples taken from the shielding box 140 into the recycling module 150.

[0111] The material conveying vision component 102 is used to cooperate with the material conveying line 120 to transfer samples. The material conveying vision component 102 is installed on the main support 101 and is disposed between the transmission line 110 and the shielding box 140.

[0112] The qualified samples taken out from the shielded box 140 by the feed line 120 are placed in the carrier on the transmission line 110 or output to the outside. During operation, the feed line and the transmission line generally perform linear reciprocating motion, and the feed line performs two processes of picking up and placing in one movement.

[0113] It should be noted that the movement direction of the transmission line 110 is generally perpendicular to the movement direction of the material conveying line 120. For example, if the material conveying line 120 moves in the X-axis direction, the transmission line 110 moves in the Y-axis direction.

[0114] It should be noted that the shielding box 140 and the recycling module 150 are existing and commonly used technologies. The recycling module 150 is a motor-driven conveyor belt that outputs the unqualified samples placed on the feeding line 120 to the outside. The feeding line 120 is in reciprocating motion and uses pneumatic, electromagnetic, and mechanical feeding and clamping devices to pick up and unload samples. It can also be used in conjunction with a robotic arm as needed. The transmission line 110 is used to transport carriers containing samples to be tested, qualified samples, or no samples, and to recycle and output the carriers.

[0115] Specifically, such as Figures 3-6 As shown, the material conveying line 120 includes: a material conveying line bracket 121, which is fixed on the main body bracket 101, and a material conveying line track 122 is provided on the material conveying line bracket 121; a first movable support 123 is installed on the material conveying line track 122, and a linear motor or servo motor and a transmission assembly for driving the first movable support 123 are installed on the material conveying line track 122. The first movable support 123 moves along the X-axis and moves through a guide rail.

[0116] The first movable support 123 is equipped with a second movable support 124 and a first motor module 125. The first motor module 125 drives the second movable support 124 to move. The first electrode module 125 includes a servo motor and a transmission group. The second movable support 124 moves along the Y-axis and moves through a guide rail. An upper support arm 127 is fixedly installed on the first movable support 123. An upper bracket 128 is provided on the upper support arm 127. A pneumatic component 129 is installed in the upper bracket 128. The pneumatic component 129 is a commonly used technology and will not be described in detail here.

[0117] It also includes: a suction module 130, which is fixedly connected to the second movable support 124 via a side fixing plate 131. A second motor module 132 is provided on the side fixing plate 131. The second motor module 132 includes a servo motor and a transmission assembly. A first movable mounting plate 134 is provided on the side fixing plate 131 and mounted via a guide rail. A suction nozzle 135 is mounted on the first movable mounting plate 134. A pneumatic assembly 129 is connected to the suction nozzle 135. The second motor module 132 drives the first movable mounting plate 134 to move along the Z-axis via a lead screw 133. The pneumatic assembly 129 drives the suction nozzle 135 to adsorb the sample.

[0118] It should be pointed out that, as Figure 5 , Figure 6 As shown, a first sensor 126 is installed on the first movable support 123, which is used to detect the movement of the second movable support 124. A suction vision component 137 is provided on the suction module 130, which is used for detection and positioning. A second sensor 138 is provided on the suction module 130, which is used to detect the movement of the first movable mounting plate 134. The combined action of the suction vision component 137 and the conveying vision component 102 makes the equipment more precise in grasping, unloading, and transporting samples. Generally, a second movable mounting plate 136 is also provided on the side fixing plate 131, mounted via a guide rail. The suction vision component 137 can be mounted on the second movable mounting plate 136. The second motor module 132 drives the second movable mounting plate 136 to move along the Z-axis via a lead screw. The aforementioned sensors are used to detect whether the movement of components exceeds the range, whether there are obstructions, etc., so as to promptly correct the operating plan or inspect the equipment. The sensors are generally photoelectric sensors.

[0119] Specifically, such as Figures 7-14As shown, the transmission line includes: a platform 111, on which a feeding device 201, a receiving device 301, and a transmission device 401 are mounted. The feeding device 201 and the receiving device 301 are respectively located at both ends of the platform 111. The transmission device 401 moves between the feeding device 201 and the receiving device 301, and is used to transport the carrier. Figure 2 The transmission line 110 generally moves in the Y-axis direction and is perpendicular to the movement direction of the material conveying line 120. For example, if the material conveying line 120 moves laterally, then the transmission line 110 moves vertically.

[0120] The unloading device 201 is provided with a primary lifting module 202, and a secondary lifting module 203 is provided on the primary lifting module 202. The top of the secondary lifting module 203 is generally provided with a pallet 204 for carrying goods, and an unloading rack 205 is provided on the upper side of the secondary lifting module 203.

[0121] The receiving device 301 is provided with a receiving rack 304 and a receiving lifting module 302. The receiving lifting module 302 is provided with a receiving tray 303. The receiving device 301 takes the carrier on the conveying device 401 and puts it on the receiving rack 304.

[0122] It should be noted that the material receiving and lifting module 302 within the receiving device 301 can be configured with two stages, similar to the unloading device 201. The receiving device 301 can also be a mirror image of the unloading device 201. The advantages are: both ends of the platform 101 can perform unloading and receiving, with higher precision, and better protection of wear-sensitive carriers or raw materials during the storage process.

[0123] It should be noted that while a cylinder's single-segment motion with full extension and retraction has high accuracy, its multi-segment motion with incomplete extension and retraction has low accuracy (especially over short distances). Compared to a servo motor, it is less expensive but less accurate. The primary lifting module 202 and the secondary lifting module 203 are generally driven by cylinders, and their motion is a single-segment motion with full extension and retraction. Therefore, the multi-segment motion completed by the primary lifting module 202 and the secondary lifting module 203 through full extension and retraction has high accuracy and reduces cost.

[0124] Specifically, such as Figure 9 , Figure 12As shown, the unloading rack 205 is provided with an unloading groove 206 that cooperates with the first-stage lifting module 202 or the second-stage lifting module 203; the unloading rack 205 is provided with at least two fixing arms 207, generally four fixing arms 207 are provided and are located at the corners, and the fixing arms 207 are used to limit the carrier. It also includes: a support module 210, which is mounted on the unloading rack 205. The support module 210 has a movable rod 211 inside, which moves back and forth. The support module 210 supports the carrier by driving the movable rod 211. The support module 210 is driven by a cylinder. Generally, a support member 212 is provided on the movable rod 211 to support the carrier, and the carrier 501 is provided with a hanging lug 502 that cooperates with the support member 212. A first photoelectric unit 213 is provided on the support module 210 or the unloading rack 205. The first photoelectric unit 213 is used to detect the carrier.

[0125] It should be noted that the carriers are stacked on the unloading rack 205, and the position where the carriers are supported by the support module 210 is called the support point; the stroke of the secondary lifting module 203 is determined according to the distance between the support points of two adjacent stacked carriers.

[0126] It should be noted that the first photoelectric unit 213 is a photoelectric switch that detects whether the carrier is in place and whether there are still carriers, thereby facilitating the unloading, replenishment, and self-inspection processes. When the unloading device 201 is unloading (unloading a single carrier), the transmission device 401 first moves to directly above the secondary lifting module 203. The primary lifting module 202 and the second lifting module 203 then lift the carrier (the pneumatic rod is fully extended) and pass through the transmission device 401 to approach the unloading rack 205, so that the pallet 204 is attached to the underside of the carrier. At this time, the support module 210 drives the movable rod 211 to move, thus no longer supporting the carrier, allowing the pallet 204 to support all the carriers on the unloading rack 205. At this time, the secondary lifting module 203 retracts (the pneumatic rod is fully retracted), the pallet 204 and the vehicle it supports move downwards. Before and after the secondary lifting module 203 is fully retracted, the support module 210 can support the second vehicle from bottom to top. The support module 210 drives the movable rod 211 to support the second vehicle from bottom to top. Then the primary lifting module 202 retracts (the pneumatic rod is fully retracted). When the pallet 204 passes through the transmission device 401, the vehicle is transferred to the transmission device 401.

[0127] Specifically, such as Figure 9 , Figure 10As shown, the transmission device 401 is equipped with a carrier frame 402, which moves on the platform 101. A carrier pallet 404 is mounted on the carrier frame 402, and a discharge chute 405 is mounted on the carrier pallet 404. The unloading device 201 and the receiving device 301 unload and collect materials by passing through the discharge chute 205. The discharge chute 205 cooperates with the receiving pallet 303 and the pallet 204. The carrier pallet 404 is equipped with a limiting flange 406 and a fixing device 410. The limiting flange 406 is used to limit the carrier, and the fixing device 410 is used to fix the carrier. The fixing device 410 contains... A cylinder 411 is connected to a clamp 412, and the cylinder 411 drives the clamp 412 to fix the carrier. A second photoelectric unit 420 is provided on the carrier tray 404. The second photoelectric unit 420 is a photoelectric switch and is used to detect the carrier and whether the carrier is correctly placed on the carrier tray 404. The transmission device 401 is installed on the platform 101 via a guide rail. The transmission device 401 and the platform 101 are connected by belt drive or chain drive. The drive device 102 of the transmission device 401 is located inside the platform 101 and is a motor. When the unloading device 201 transfers the carrier to the transmission device 401, the fixing device 410 drives the clamp 412 to fix the carrier on the carrier pallet 404. Then the transmission device 401 moves back and forth or in one direction. When the carrier needs to be recycled, the transmission device 401 transports the carrier to the receiving device 301.

[0128] like Figure 10 As shown, a mating part 403 is provided at the bottom of the carrier 402, which is used to mate with the guide rail laid on the platform 111.

[0129] Specifically, such as Figure 9 , Figure 11 As shown, the receiving rack 304 is provided with a receiving groove 305 that cooperates with the receiving lifting module 302. The receiving rack 304 is also provided with a receiving fixing arm 306 for limiting the carrier, and a receiving support member 310 is provided on the receiving rack 304 to support the carrier. Figure 8 As shown, the receiving support 310 includes: a base 311 fixedly installed on the receiving rack 304, and a movable part 312 rotatably installed on the base 311. The movable part 312 is limited by the base 311 and can only rotate upwards and cannot rotate downwards, thereby supporting the carrier.

[0130] It should be noted that during vehicle retrieval, the conveying device 401 moves the vehicle above the receiving and lifting module 302, the receiving and lifting module 302 is lifted (the pneumatic rod is fully extended), the receiving pallet 303 passes through the unloading chute 405 and supports the vehicle, the receiving pallet 303 pushes open the receiving support 310 as the vehicle moves upward, and when the vehicle has completely passed the receiving support 310, the movable part 312 on the receiving support 310 is reset (under the action of gravity, or by means of a torsion spring), and then the receiving and lifting module 302 retracts (the pneumatic rod is fully retracted). During the downward movement of the receiving pallet 303, the receiving support 310 gradually supports the vehicle.

[0131] To reduce usage and production costs and improve efficiency, the transmission line employs cylinder-driven primary lifting module 202, secondary lifting module 203, and receiving lifting module 302, while the transmission device 401 is driven by a motor. During unloading, the pallet 204 passes through the unloading chute 405 on the carrier pallet 404 and enters the unloading rack 205 for unloading; during recycling, the receiving pallet 303 passes through the unloading chute 405 on the carrier pallet 404 and enters the receiving rack 304 for carrier recycling.

[0132] It should be noted that the receiving device 301 can be used in conjunction with manual labor for receiving materials, and the receiving support 310 can be replaced with existing commonly used support components or mechanical clamps. The unloading rack 205 and the receiving rack 304 are used for replenishing, unloading, and transferring the carrier by manual or mechanical means.

[0133] When the unloading device 201 is used as a receiving device, the first-stage lifting module 202 lifts the carrier on the transmission device 401 to a position very close to or against the support module 210. At this time, the support module 210 moves (the movable rod 211 retracts into the cylinder) and no longer supports the carrier on the unloading rack 205. Then, the carrier in the unloading rack 205 is supported by the pallet 204. At this time, the second-stage lifting module 203 lifts the carrier on the pallet 204 a certain distance. Then, the support module 210 moves (the movable rod extends) to support the bottommost carrier. Finally, the first-stage lifting module 202 and the second-stage lifting module 203 descend and reset, completing the receiving process.

[0134] In use, the carrier on the transmission line 110 is generally filled with samples to be tested. The transmission device 401 carries the carrier and reciprocates on the platform 111. During this process, the feed line 120, through the suction module 130, removes the samples to be tested from the carrier and transfers them into the shielded box 140 for testing. After placement, the tested samples are removed from the shielded box 140. If a sample is unqualified, the feed line 120 will pick up the unqualified sample and transport it to the return container. On the receiving module 150, unqualified samples are output to the outside. If the sample is qualified, the conveyor line 120 picks it up and transports it to a carrier on the transmission line 110, or to the tape dispenser 160 for discharge. This cycle repeats. When the carriers on the transmission line 110 are full of samples, they are replenished mechanically or manually. When the carriers on the transmission line 110 are full of qualified samples, they are unloaded mechanically or manually. During operation, the equipment is monitored, detected, and positioned using photoelectric units and sensors.

[0135] It should be noted that the feeding line 120 can place qualified samples on a carrier containing samples to be tested, and then take samples to be tested from this carrier until all samples to be tested are taken and qualified samples fill the carrier; or it can place qualified samples on an empty carrier until it is full, and select the filling mode according to the actual situation.

[0136] In summary, this invention, by cleverly connecting the main support 101, the transmission line 110, the material conveying line 120, the shielding box 140, the recycling module 150, and other components through a unique structure, integrates a lengthy continuous testing process into a single device, fully utilizing internal space and reducing the overall footprint of the equipment. While improving testing efficiency, it reduces the use of high-end robotic arms, lowering production, usage, and maintenance costs. It enables quick and automatic output and retrieval of carriers, and the testing and classification of samples, while improving the accuracy of equipment movement, reducing the risk of errors, and preventing mechanical injuries. The overall structure of the equipment is compact and stable. All of these improvements significantly enhance the practical value of this invention.
