[0002] The production of circuit boards requires process steps such as electroplating and etching. For example, during the electroplating process, the circuit boards are transported into the plating tank for electroplating through a conveying mechanism, and the circuit boards are clamped on the conveyor belt of the conveying mechanism by a clamp.

[0003] In the loading and unloading areas of the conveying mechanism, it is also necessary to automatically remove the plate from the clamp or set it on the clamp through the loading and unloading device. The loading and unloading device is provided with a clamping device, which is used to open the clamp that clamps the plate so that the plate can be moved by the robot.

[0004] During the operation of the production line, the conveyor belt of the conveying mechanism is continuously transported. Therefore, the clamping device for loading and unloading the plate also needs to move synchronously with the conveyor belt when operating the clamp; for example, Chinese patent document CN213111500U discloses a synchronous clamping electroplating conveying device, which uses a pressure wheel to contact the clamp for clamping, and the pressure wheel and the clamp can move synchronously.

[0005] However, in the prior art, in order to adapt to the different heights of the plates, some devices set the lower clamp to be able to move up and down. At this time, the adjusted lower clamp cannot be opened by using a traditional opening device. Summary of the invention

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0043] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0044] This embodiment provides a loading and unloading clamping device, which is used to be arranged in the loading area or unloading area of ​​the electroplating production line. During the process of loading or unloading the plate 13, it moves with the plate 13 and is used to automatically unclamp the clamping component. Figure 1 As shown, the clamping assembly includes: an upper clamp 14 and a lower clamp 15. The upper clamp 14 can be directly fixedly connected to the conveyor belt, and the upper clamp 14 can be slidably connected to the conveyor belt through a guide rod 16. Specifically, the bottom end of the guide rod 16 is fixedly connected to the lower clamp 15, and the top end of the guide rod 16 is connected to the conveyor belt through an adjustment clamp 17. When the adjustment clamp 17 is turned on, the guide rod 16 can be slid up and down, thereby driving the lower clamp 15 to slide up and down, so as to achieve the purpose of adjusting the height of the lower clamp 15.

[0045] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, a loading and unloading clamping device for setting in the loading area of ​​an electroplating production line comprises: a first frame 1 and a second frame 2 arranged opposite to each other, the first frame 1 and the second frame 2 are both movably connected to a frame 11 through a slide rail 3, and the first frame 1 and the second frame 2 are on the frame 11, and can be driven by a sliding drive member 8 to move synchronously with a transmission belt 12. Between the first frame 1 and the second frame 2 is suitable for accommodating a clamping assembly connected to a conveyor belt, when a plate 13 is transported into the frame 11, the plate 13 needs to be connected to the conveyor belt in the moving process through the clamping assembly, at this time, the upper clamp 14 and the lower clamp 15 connected to the conveyor belt can be opened through the loading and unloading clamping device that moves synchronously with the conveyor belt, and the height of the lower clamp 15 can be adjusted to adapt to the specifications of the plate 13, so that the plate 13 is moved to the clamping area by a manipulator to complete the loading of the plate 13.

[0046] like Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the loading and unloading clamping device provided in this embodiment has a first upper clamping mechanism 4 on the top of the first frame 1, and a second upper clamping mechanism 5 opposite to the first upper clamping mechanism 4 on the top of the second frame 2; a first lower clamping mechanism 6 is slidably connected to the bottom of the first frame 1, and a second lower clamping mechanism 7 is slidably connected to the bottom of the second frame 2, and the first lower clamping mechanism 6 and the second lower clamping mechanism 7 are suitable for being driven to move in the up and down directions; when loading, the upper clamp 14 is clamped by the cooperation of the first upper clamping mechanism 4 and the second upper clamping mechanism 5, and the lower clamp 15 is clamped by the cooperation of the first lower clamping mechanism 6 and the second lower clamping mechanism 7. Among them, the first lower clamping mechanism 6 and the second lower clamping mechanism 7 can be driven to move in the up and down directions. Specifically, when the height of the lower clamp 15 is adjusted, the first lower clamping mechanism 6 and the second lower clamping mechanism 7 are adjusted at the same time through the guide rod lifting device, so that the first lower clamping mechanism 6 and the second lower clamping mechanism 7 can adapt to the height of the lower clamp 15 and accurately complete the clamping operation of the lower clamp 15.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, the first upper clamping mechanism 4, the second upper clamping structure, the first lower clamping structure and the second lower clamping mechanism 7 respectively have clamping ends, which are pneumatically driven to push toward the clamp of the clamping assembly to perform the clamping operation. Alternatively, the first frame 1 and the second frame 2 can be configured to be integrally movable in a direction toward or away from each other, so as to ensure that the upper clamp 14 and the lower clamp 15 are opened at the same time.

[0048] like Figure 2 , Figure 3As shown, the lower area between the first frame 1 and the second frame 2 is also provided with a guide rod lifting device, which has a supporting member 23 capable of moving up and down, and the supporting member 23 moves upward to be suitable for abutting against the lower end of the guide rod 16, so that when the adjustment clamp 17 at the upper end of the guide rod 16 is opened, the guide rod 16 can be driven to move up and down through the supporting member 23. The supporting member 23 has a first push member 24 extending toward the first lower clamping mechanism 6, and a second push member 25 extending toward the second lower clamping mechanism 7, and the top heights of the first push member 24 and the second push member 25 are equal; when the supporting member 23 moves upward to drive the guide rod 16, the first push member 24 pushes against the first lower clamping mechanism 6, and the second push member 25 pushes against the second lower clamping structure, so that the height of the first lower clamping mechanism 6 and the second lower clamping mechanism 7 are adjusted synchronously to adapt to the position of the lower clamp 15 and realize accurate clamping. Since the top ends of the first push member 24 and the second push member 25 are equal in height, the heights of the first lower clamping mechanism 6 and the second lower clamping mechanism 7 can be equal, thereby facilitating coordinated clamping. In addition, as a preferred embodiment, the guide rod lifting device is fixedly mounted on the first frame 1 and the second frame 2, so that the guide rod lifting device can move with the first frame 1 and the second frame 2 to maintain the same speed as the conveyor belt.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, as a preferred embodiment, the first push member 24 and the second push member 25 on the supporting member 23 extend upwards at an angle in a direction away from each other. Such an arrangement enables the first push member 24 and the second push member 25 on the supporting member 23 to be more easily pushed against the first lower clamping mechanism 6 and the second lower clamping mechanism 7, respectively, thereby ensuring that the heights of the two lower clamping mechanisms are equal.

[0050] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the guide rod lifting device includes: a mounting frame 21, the mounting frame 21 is fixedly hoisted on the first frame 1 and the second frame 2 to ensure that the guide rod lifting device and the first frame 1 and the second frame 2 can move synchronously along the slide rail 3. The mounting frame 21 is connected to a lifting drive device 22 for driving the supporting member 23 to move up and down, and the lifting drive device 22 can be driven by any one of an electric push rod, a cylinder or an oil cylinder.

[0051] like Figure 1 As shown, the frame 11 is provided with a buffer member 26 for abutting the mounting frame 21, and the buffer member 26 is arranged in cooperation with the sliding driving member 8. The buffer member 26 includes: a base, a push rod elastically slidably connected to the base, and a flexible body connected to the top of the push rod.

[0052] like Figure 5 As shown, it is a loading and unloading clamping device for being set in the unloading area of ​​the electroplating production line. It is also movably set in the frame 11 through the slide rail 3. The difference is that it is set close to the other side of the frame 11 so as to be close to the outlet of the electroplating tank. In the unloading area of ​​the electroplating production line, the loading and unloading clamping device is used to unclamp the clamping assembly. The specific process is: in the process of synchronous movement with the conveyor belt, the first lower clamping mechanism 6 and the second lower clamping mechanism 7 are driven to move upward by the guide rod lifting device. When the supporting member 23 of the guide rod lifting device reaches the bottom end of the guide rod 16, the first lower clamping mechanism 6 and the second lower clamping mechanism 7 are opposite to the lower clamp 15, and the lower clamp 15 can be opened. When the upper clamp 14 is opened by the first upper clamping mechanism 4 and the second upper clamping mechanism 5, and the lower clamp 15 is opened by the first lower clamping mechanism 6 and the second lower clamping mechanism 7, the guide rod lifting device is lowered to make room for unloading the plate 13, and the plate 13 can be removed by a robot to be placed on the placement rack.

[0053] In addition, this embodiment also provides a production line system for the electroplating process of the plate 13. It includes: a conveyor belt, the conveyor belt is moved by hanging the plate 13 through a clamping assembly, the clamping assembly includes an upper clamp 14 and a lower clamp 15, wherein the upper clamp 14 can be directly connected to the conveyor belt through a fastener; the lower clamp 15 is connected to the conveyor belt through a guide rod 16, the bottom end of the guide rod 16 is fixedly connected to the lower clamp 15, and the upper end of the guide rod 16 is connected to the transmission belt 12 through an adjustment clamp 17, and the guide rod 16 can slide up and down by adjusting the clamp 17.

[0054] In the above-mentioned electroplating production line, the above-mentioned loading and unloading clamping devices are respectively arranged in the loading area and the unloading area. The loading and unloading clamping devices are used to perform clamping operations during the loading process of the plate 13 and during the unloading process of the plate 13.

[0055] Obviously, the above embodiments are merely examples for clear explanation, and are not intended to limit the implementation methods. For those skilled in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to list all the implementation methods here. The obvious changes or modifications derived from these are still within the scope of protection of the present invention.
