Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] This invention relates to the field of filter technology, and in particular to an automatic debugging device for 5G filters. [Background Technology]

[0002] A filter is a microwave device that limits the operating frequency band of base stations and electronic products. Based on the frequency band of the signal it passes through, filters are classified into four types: low-pass, high-pass, band-pass, and band-stop filters. Each filter has a preset frequency range. In testing equipment, this frequency selection function of filters can be used to filter out interference noise or perform spectrum analysis.

[0003] Filters need to be tuned to the appropriate frequency for signals in different frequency bands in order to transmit signals at the required frequency. Filters are designed with cavities of different shapes, and different shapes and characteristics will produce different frequencies.

[0004] Currently, the industry primarily uses manual adjustment for the frequency of filter signals. This involves connecting the network analyzer to the two connectors of a channel and then grinding and correcting the plating dimensions of the corresponding channel cavity to achieve the required specifications. Furthermore, 5G filters are becoming increasingly smaller, and the corrected features and cavity dimensions are very small, some even less than 0.1 millimeters. This makes manual operation extremely difficult, sometimes requiring the use of magnifying glasses or microscopes for adjustment. This method demands high skill levels from operators, is inefficient, and is prone to errors, leading to product scrap.

[0005] In view of the above, it is necessary to provide a new type of automatic 5G filter debugging device to overcome the above-mentioned defects. [Summary of the Invention]

[0034] Please see Figures 1 to 3 This invention provides an automatic 5G filter debugging device, including a feeding device 1, a material supply and distribution device 2, a debugging station 3, a debugging robot 4, and a laser debugging device 5. The feeding device 1 is connected to one end of the material supply and distribution device 2, and the debugging robot 4 and the laser debugging device 5 are respectively installed on both sides of the material supply and distribution device 2. The feeding device 1 is used to provide a filter 100 (cavity filter) to the material supply and distribution device 2 and enables the filter 100 to move on the material supply and distribution device 2. The debugging station 3 is mounted on the material supply and distribution device 2 and is used to place the filter 100. The debugging robot 4 is used to pick up the filter 100 from the material supply and distribution device 2 and place it on the debugging station 3. The debugging robot 4 can also grind and carve the plating area on one side of the filter 100 to adjust the resonant frequency of the filter 100. The laser debugging device 5 is used to etch the size and position of the plating area on the other side of the filter 100 to achieve the purpose of vibration adjustment, thereby completing the debugging of the filter 100.

[0035] Furthermore, the number of debugging workstations 3 is several; in this embodiment, the number of debugging workstations 3 is four.

[0036] Furthermore, the feeding device 1 includes a body 11 and a conveying section 12 connected to the top of the body 11, the conveying section 12 being connected to the material supply and distribution device 2. Specifically, the feeding device 1 is a vibratory feeder, used to convey the filters 100 one by one to the material supply and distribution device 2 through the conveying section 12.

[0037] Furthermore, the debugging robot 4 includes a first sliding component 41, a first telescopic component 42, a gripper 43, and a grinding and engraving needle 44; the first sliding component 41 is spaced apart and installed on one side of the material supply and distribution device 2, the first telescopic component 42 is installed on the first sliding component 41 and spaced apart from the material supply and distribution device 2, the gripper 43 is installed on the first telescopic component 42 and spaced apart from the material supply and distribution device 2, and the grinding and engraving needle 44 is rotatably installed on the first telescopic component 42 and spaced apart from the material supply and distribution device 2. The first sliding component 41 is used to drive the first telescopic component 42, the gripper 43, and the grinding and engraving needle 44 to move from one end of the material supply and distribution device 2 toward the other end of the material supply and distribution device 2, and the first telescopic component 42 is used to drive the gripper 43 and the grinding and engraving needle 44 to move toward or away from the material supply and distribution device 2.

[0038] When the feeding device 1 delivers the filters 100 one by one to the material supply and distribution device 2, the first sliding component 41 drives the first telescopic component 42, the gripper 43, and the grinding and engraving needle 44 to move to one end of the material supply and distribution device 2. The first telescopic component 42 drives the gripper 43 and the grinding and engraving needle 44 to move closer to the material supply and distribution device 2. At this time, the gripper 43 grabs the filters 100 on the material supply and distribution device 2 onto the debugging station 3. The grinding and engraving needle 44 rotates to grind and engrave the plating area on one side of the filter 100 to adjust the resonant frequency of the filter 100. After the grinding and engraving needle 44 completes the grinding and engraving, the first telescopic component 42 drives the gripper 43 and the grinding and engraving needle to move away from the material supply and distribution device 2.

[0039] Furthermore, the first sliding component 41 includes a slide rail 411 and a slider 412. The slide rail 411 is arranged parallel to and spaced apart from the material supply and distribution device 2. The slider 412 is slidably connected to the slide rail 411. The first telescopic component 42 is mounted on the slider 412 of the first sliding component 41.

[0040] Thus, when the slider 412 moves along the slide rail 411, it can drive the first telescopic component 42, the gripper 43 and the grinding and engraving needle 44 to move from one end of the material supply and distribution device 2 toward the other end of the material supply and distribution device 2.

[0041] Specifically, the first telescopic component 42 includes a sliding plate 421 and a mating plate 422. The mating plate 422 is mounted on the slider 412, and the sliding plate 421 is slidably connected to the mating plate 422. The gripper 43 and the grinding and engraving needle 44 are mounted on the sliding plate 421, and the sliding plate 421 can move along the mating plate 422 toward or away from the material supply and distribution device 2. The gripper 43 and the grinding and engraving needle 44 move with the sliding plate 421 toward or away from the material supply and distribution device 2.

[0042] Furthermore, the debugging robot 4 also includes a first power assembly 45, which includes a ball screw 451, a transmission belt 452, and a motor 453. The ball screw 451 is arranged parallel to and spaced apart from the slide rail 411. The transmission belt 452 is sleeved on the ball screw 451 and the motor 453. The slider 412 is fixedly connected to the nut on the ball screw 451.

[0043] Thus, when the motor 453 drives the ball screw 451 to rotate via the transmission belt 452, the nut on the ball screw 451 drives the slider 412 to move linearly, thereby driving the first telescopic component 42, the gripper 43, and the grinding and engraving needle 44 to move from one end of the material supply and distribution device 2 toward the other end of the material supply and distribution device 2; when the motor 453 drives the ball screw 451 to rotate in the opposite direction via the transmission belt 452, the nut on the ball screw 451 drives the slider 412 to move linearly, thereby driving the first telescopic component 42, the gripper 43, and the grinding and engraving needle 44 to move back to their original positions.

[0044] Furthermore, the laser adjustment device 5 includes a second sliding component 51, a second telescopic component 52, and a laser component 53. The second sliding component 51 is spaced apart and installed on one side of the material supply and distribution device 2. The second telescopic component 52 is installed on the second sliding component 51 and spaced apart from the material supply and distribution device 2. The laser component 53 is installed on the second telescopic component 52 and spaced apart from the material supply and distribution device 2. The second sliding component 51 is used to drive the second telescopic component 52 and the laser component 53 to move from one end of the material supply and distribution device 2 toward the other end of the material supply and distribution device 2. The second telescopic component 52 is used to drive the laser component 53 to move toward or away from the material supply and distribution device 2.

[0045] When the feeding device 1 delivers the filters 100 one by one to the material feeding and distributing device 2, the second sliding component 51 drives the second telescopic component 52 and the laser component 53 to move to one end of the material feeding and distributing device 2 and set at a distance from the grinding and engraving needle 44. After the second telescopic component 52 drives the laser component 53 to move towards the material feeding and distributing device 2 to a predetermined position, the laser component 53 emits a laser beam to irradiate the resonant disk of the filter 100. The laser beam etches the size and position of the plating area (copper plating or aluminum plating) on ​​the resonant disk to achieve the purpose of vibration tuning, thereby completing the debugging of the filter 100.

[0046] It should be noted that the grinding and engraving needle 44 grinding and engraving the plating area on one side of the filter 11 and the laser assembly 53 emitting a laser beam to etch the size and position of the plating (copper plating or aluminum plating) area on the resonant disk of the filter 100 can be performed simultaneously or in steps.

[0047] Furthermore, the laser assembly 53 includes a housing 531 and a laser housed inside the housing 531; the housing 531 is fixedly connected to the second telescopic member 52.

[0048] Furthermore, the laser assembly 53 also includes a beam expander 532, which is mounted on the housing 531 and located in front of the laser.

[0049] When the laser emits laser light, the beam expander 532 changes the diameter and divergence angle of the laser beam so that the laser beam irradiates the resonant disk of the filter 100. The laser beam etches the size and position of the plating area (copper plating or aluminum plating) on ​​the resonant disk of the filter 100 to achieve the purpose of vibration tuning, thereby completing the tuning of the filter 100.

[0050] Furthermore, the 5G filter automatic debugging equipment also includes a storage cylinder 6, which is arranged adjacent to the feeding device 1, and is used to store the filter 100.

[0051] Furthermore, the 5G filter automatic debugging device also includes a receiving box 7, which is located at the end of the material supply and distribution device 2 away from the supply device 1.

[0052] Furthermore, the material supply and distribution device 2 is provided with a first material conveying trough 21 and a second material conveying trough 22 parallel and spaced apart from the first material conveying trough 21. The feeding device 1 feeds the filters 100 one by one onto the first material conveying trough 21. The gripper 43 picks up the filters 100 in the first material conveying trough 21 of the material supply and distribution device 2 and places them onto the debugging station 3. After the grinding and engraving needle 44 and the laser assembly 53 have completed the debugging of the filters 100, the gripper 43 picks up the filters 100 on the debugging station 3 and places them onto the second material conveying trough 22, from which they slide down into the receiving box 7.

[0053] Furthermore, a material blocking protrusion 211 is provided at one end of the first material feed trough 21 near the receiving box 7. The material blocking protrusion 211 is used to prevent the filter 100 in the first material feed trough 21 from sliding directly into the receiving box 7 under the action of the feeding device 1.

[0054] Furthermore, the 5G filter automatic debugging equipment also includes a base plate 8, and the feeding device 1, material supply and distribution device 2, debugging robot 4, laser debugging device 5, storage cylinder 6 and receiving box 7 are all installed on the base plate 8.

[0055] Furthermore, an installation area 81 is formed on the top surface of the base plate 8 for mounting the network analyzer 200. The network analyzer 200 tests the frequency of the filter after debugging in real time to improve the accuracy of debugging.

[0056] Furthermore, the 5G filter automatic debugging equipment also includes a frame 9, and the base plate 8 is mounted on the top surface of the frame 9.
