Obviously, the drawings in the following description are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, without creative efforts, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings.

[0036] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts belong to the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0037] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4, in an embodiment of the present invention, an automatic waste circuit board disassembling device includes: a disc-shaped workbench 108, a tin bath 104 and a material box 107 arranged around the workbench 108. A driving module 106 for driving the rotation of the workbench 108 is provided at the lower end of the workbench 108;

[0038] A number of flipping, shaking and clamping devices 102 are evenly arranged around the center of the workbench 108;

[0039] A lifting module 104 for lifting the entire tin bath 104 is provided at the lower end of the tin bath 104.

[0040] The circuit board is manually loaded and stably clamped on a flipping, shaking and clamping device 102 with the electronic components of the circuit board facing up and the pin solder joints of the solder surface facing down. Then, the workbench 108 rotates to bring the flipping, shaking and clamping device 102 to the upper end of the tin bath 104. The tin bath 104 rises so that the pins of the circuit board enter the tin bath 104 for tin melting. After the tin melting is completed, the tin bath 104 descends, and the flipping, shaking and clamping device 102 drives the circuit board to shake, and the melted tin under the circuit board is shaken into the tin bath 104;

[0041] Then, the workbench 108 drives the flipping, shaking and clamping device 102 to move into the material box 107 again. Then, by shaking and using the self-weight and mechanical inertia of the circuit board, the circuit board is shaken into the part material box 107 to complete the processing.

[0042] Further, the flipping, shaking and clamping device includes: a shaking seat mounting plate 3. A shaking motor 1 is installed above the rear end of the shaking seat mounting plate 3. A speed reducer 10 that is in transmission cooperation with the shaking motor 1 is installed at the lower end of the shaking motor 1. The transmission shaft of the speed reducer 10 passes through the shaking seat mounting plate 3 and extends towards the front end of the shaking seat mounting plate 3. A shaking cam 2 is installed on the transmission shaft of the speed reducer 10;

[0043] A number of linear slide rails 5 extending vertically downward are provided on the front end face of the shaking seat mounting plate 3. Sliders 4 that are slidably engaged with the linear slide rails 5 are installed on the linear slide rails 5;

[0044] A shaking claw moving seat 8 is provided at the front end face position of the shaking seat mounting plate 3. The rear end face of the shaking claw moving seat 8 is fixedly connected to the slider 4;

[0045] A shaking bearing 9 is installed on the shaking claw moving seat 8. The shaking bearing 9 is located above the shaking cam 2 and within the range of the outer radius of the shaking cam 2;

[0046] A spring base 31 is further provided at the lower side of the front end face of the shaking seat mounting plate 3;

[0047] A spring top seat 81 is provided on the rear end face of the jitter claw moving seat 8, and the spring top seat 81 is located above the spring base 31;

[0048] A jitter spring 11 is provided between the spring base 31 and the spring top seat 81;

[0049] A rotary cylinder 7 is installed on the front end face of the jitter claw moving seat 8. The rotating shaft of the rotary cylinder 7 extends forward, and a pneumatic gripper device 6 is installed on the rotating shaft of the rotary cylinder 7; The pneumatic gripper device 6 can be driven by the rotary cylinder 7 to achieve a 0-180° flip, so as to achieve a 0-180° flip of the control circuit board (the actual flip angle is adjusted according to requirements) for observation.

[0050] In the molten tin and flinging tin work of the waste circuit board, the waste circuit board is clamped by the pneumatic gripper device 6. After the circuit board is immersed in the tin bath 104 for molten tin, the jitter motor 1 drives the reducer 10 to work, and the reducer 10 drives the jitter cam 2 to rotate. The rotation of the jitter cam 2 will contact the jitter bearing 9, and the jitter bearing 9 will push the entire jitter claw moving seat 8 upward. The jitter claw moving seat 8 will rise along the linear slide rail 5 with the slider 4, and the rising of the jitter claw moving seat 8 will stretch and deform the jitter spring 11;

[0051] When the jitter cam 2 resets, the thrust of the jitter cam 2 on the jitter bearing 9 disappears, and the jitter spring 11 resets, pulling back the jitter claw moving seat 8, so that the waste circuit board clamped on the pneumatic gripper device 6 has a vertical drop. Through repeated work, the jitter claw moving seat 8 realizes a working state similar to jitter, so as to shake off the melted solder on the waste circuit board;

[0052] At the same time, the blanking work of the waste circuit board can be realized through such a jitter method.

[0053] The number of the linear slide rails 5 is two, and the two linear slide rails 5 are arranged in parallel to improve the smoothness and stability of sliding.

[0054] The spring is an L-shaped tension spring, and this kind of spring structure has strong tensile force.

[0055] Further, the pneumatic gripper device 6 includes: a fixed seat, a rotary cylinder 7 is installed at the front end of the fixed seat, the rotating shaft of the rotary cylinder 7 extends forward, and a pneumatic gripper device 6 is installed on the rotating shaft of the rotary cylinder 7;

[0056] The pneumatic gripper device 6 can be driven by the rotary cylinder 7 to achieve a 0-180° flip, so as to achieve a 0-180° flip of the control circuit board (the actual flip angle is adjusted according to requirements) for observation.

[0057] Furthermore, the pneumatic clamping device 6 includes: a clamping clamping seat mounting plate 31, the rear end surface of the clamping clamping seat mounting plate 31 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the rotary cylinder 7;

[0058] The front end surface of the clamping jaw fixed shaking seat mounting plate 31 is provided with a transversely arranged dovetail slide rail 33, and a pair of fixed seat bars 32 are installed on the dovetail slide rail 33. The rear end of the fixed seat bar 32 is provided with a dovetail groove that fits with the dovetail slide rail 33, and the front end surface of the fixed seat bar 32 is provided with a vertically downwardly arranged T-shaped slide rail;

[0059] The fixed seat bar 32 is provided with an upper clamping jaw 34 and a lower clamping jaw 35 distributed up and down, and the rear end surface of the upper clamping jaw 34 is provided with a T-shaped sliding groove that fits with the T-shaped slide rail;

[0060] The use of the laterally opposed upper and lower double clamps can place the molten tin pool 104 stably. The upper clamping jaw 34 and the lower clamping jaw 35 are horizontally opposed to each other, supporting the circuit board or the waste circuit board so that the circuit board or the waste circuit board can be placed horizontally on the molten tin pool 104, and the problem of insufficient molten tin in some areas due to uneven placement will not occur.

[0061] The rear end surface of the lower clamping jaw 35 is fixedly connected to the fixed pressure strip;

[0062] A lifting cylinder 36 is further provided in the middle of the front end surface of the clamping jaw fixed shaking seat mounting plate 31. The lifting cylinder 36 is a thin cylinder with large torque and adjustable pressure. The telescopic rod of the lifting cylinder 36 is vertically extended and retracted upward. A horizontally arranged connecting strip 37 is installed on the telescopic rod of the lifting cylinder 36. The connecting strip 37 extends to both sides and is fixedly connected to the upper clamping jaws 34 on both sides respectively.

[0063] A thin air cylinder with high torque and adjustable pressure is used to control the clamping force of the upper clamping jaw 34 and the lower clamping jaw 35, which can effectively adapt to circuit boards or waste circuit boards of different thicknesses and weights.

[0064] In the process of clamping the waste circuit boards:

[0065] By adjusting the position of the fixing seat bar 32 on the clamping jaw fixing seat mounting plate 31, the distance between the two sets of clamping jaws can be adjusted to accommodate waste circuit boards of different sizes.

[0066] The lifting cylinder 36 pushes its telescopic rod upward, thereby driving the upper clamping jaw 34 to move upward along the T-shaped slide rail on the fixed seat bar 32 through the connecting bar 37 to open the clamping jaw. The waste circuit board is manually placed on the lower clamping jaw 35, and then the lifting cylinder 36 is reset, and the upper clamping jaw 34 and the lower clamping jaw 35 are merged to achieve the clamping work of the waste circuit board.

[0067] The multi-point clamping of the comparison circuit board is achieved through the upper clamping jaw 34 and the lower clamping jaw 35 of this structure, which improves the stability of clamping the circuit board or the waste circuit board while ensuring that the circuit structure of the circuit board or the waste circuit board will not be pressed;

[0068] At the same time, the clamping of the irregularly structured circuit board is achieved through the structure of point clamping.

[0069] The upper clamping jaw 34 is made of stainless steel material, which has the advantages of not rusting, corrosion resistance, high temperature resistance, wear resistance, and moderate rigidity;

[0070] The lower clamping jaw 35 is made of titanium alloy material. Since the lower clamping jaw 35 needs to enter the tin bath 104, the lower clamping jaw 35 made of titanium alloy material can withstand high temperatures from 100°C to 400°C, and will not deform, relax, or have unstable clamping in the high-temperature tin bath 104.

[0071] Furthermore, a working solenoid valve group 103 is also provided on the workbench 108. The working solenoid valve group 103 is electrically connected to the lifting cylinder 36, and the torque control of the lifting cylinder 36 is achieved through the working solenoid valve group 103.

[0072] For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present invention is not limited to the details of the above exemplary embodiments, and the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive. The scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description. Therefore, all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be included in the present invention.
