[0048] Based on the issues mentioned above, please refer to Figures 1 to 9The present embodiment provides a single-board plug-in device, which is used to plug at least two electronic components into a single board. The single-board plug-in device includes a first feeding mechanism 210, a second feeding mechanism 220, a third feeding mechanism 230 and a plug-in mechanism 240. The first feeding mechanism 210 includes a first conveyor line 211. A first loading station and a first unloading station are respectively arranged on the upstream side and the downstream side of the conveying direction of the first conveyor line 211. The first conveyor line 211 is configured to convey the electronic components from the first loading station to the first unloading station. The second feeding mechanism 220 includes a second conveyor line 221. A second loading station and a second unloading station are respectively arranged on the upstream side and the downstream side of the conveying direction of the second conveyor line 221. The second conveyor line 221 is configured In order to transport the pressing plate 100 from the second loading station to the second unloading station, the third feeding mechanism 230 includes a third conveyor line 231, on which a plug-in station is arranged, and the third conveyor line 231 is configured to transport a carrier (not shown in the figure) carrying a single board to the plug-in station, and the plug-in mechanism 240 includes a first conveying member 241 and a second conveying member 242, and the first conveying member 241 is configured to transport a single electronic component from the first unloading station to the plug-in station and plug it into the single board, and the second conveying member 242 is configured to transport the pressing plate 100 from the second unloading station to the plug-in station and plug it into the carrier, so as to limit the wiring harness of the electronic component to be pressed between the pressing plate 100 and the carrier, and the first conveying member 241 and the second conveying member 242 can operate alternately.

[0049] It is understandable that the single board described in this embodiment is a PCB board, which will not be described in detail below. Of course, in other optional embodiments, the single board may also be other circuit boards such as an FPC board, which is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0050] In this embodiment, after the first transport member 241 transports an electronic component and plugs it onto the single board, the second transport member 242 transports and plugs the pressing plate 100 onto the carrier, and presses and confines the wiring harness on the electronic component between the pressing plate 100 and the carrier to avoid entanglement of the wiring harness of the next electronic component with the wiring harness of the already plugged electronic component when plugging in the next electronic component, thereby avoiding interference with the plugging of the next electronic component. That is, this embodiment can ensure that when plugging in the next electronic component, the plug interface of the next electronic component can be accurately aligned with the plug interface on the single board, thereby ensuring the success rate of plugging in.

[0051] Based on the above, the single board carried on the carrier is provided with multiple plug-in positions, and three sockets are provided near each plug-in position on the carrier, such as Fig.10As shown, three pins 110 are provided on the pressing plate 100 in this embodiment, and the second transport member 242 can transport the pressing plate 100 from the second unloading station to the plug-in station, and align the three pins 110 of the pressing plate 100 with the three sockets at one of the plug-in positions on the carrier close to the single board. The plug-in position refers to the plug-in position of the electronic component transported by the first transport member 241 in the last plug-in operation.

[0052] Specifically, initially, the third conveyor line 231 conveys the carrier carrying the single board to the plug-in station, the first conveyor line 211 conveys the electronic component to the first unloading station, the first transport member 241 transports the electronic component from the first unloading station to the plug-in station and plugs it into the single board, and at the same time, the second conveyor line 221 conveys the pressing plate 100 to the second unloading station, the second transport member 242 transports the pressing plate 100 from the second unloading station to the plug-in station and plugs it into the carrier, and the pressing plate 100 is transported to the plug-in station. 00 is covered on the wiring harness of the electronic component plugged into the single board in this plugging operation, and the wiring harness is fixed, thereby completing a plugging operation. Accordingly, each subsequent plugging operation is performed according to the above steps. It can be understood that since the wiring harness of the electronic component plugged into the single board in the previous plugging operation is fixed when the next plugging operation is performed, the wiring harness of the electronic component to be plugged in the next plugging operation will not be entangled with the wiring harness of the electronic component plugged into the single board in the previous plugging operation.

[0053] Furthermore, the plug-in mechanism 240 in this embodiment also includes an X-axis moving module 243 and a Y-axis moving module 244. The X-axis moving module 243 is slidably connected to the Y-axis moving module 244. The first transport member 241 and the second transport member 242 are both slidably connected to the X-axis moving module 243, that is, the first transport member 241 and the second transport member 242 can slide along the X-axis moving module 243 at the same time, and the X-axis moving module 243 can slide along the Y-axis moving module 244, so that the first transport member 241 can move between the first unloading station and the plug-in station, and the second transport member 242 can move between the second unloading station and the plug-in station.

[0054] In order to facilitate the transportation of electronic components, the first transport member 241 in this embodiment includes a pneumatic clamp 2411. In order to facilitate the transportation of the pressure plate 100, the second transport member 242 in this embodiment includes a suction cup 2421. It can be understood that the plug-in mechanism 240 also includes a Z-axis moving module 245. The pneumatic clamp 2411 and the suction cup 2421 are slidably connected to the Z-axis moving module 245. The Z-axis moving module 245 can drive the pneumatic clamp 2411 and the suction cup 2421 to rise and fall in the vertical direction, so that the pneumatic clamp 2411 can clamp the electronic components at the first unloading station and plug the electronic components into the single board, and the suction cup 2421 can absorb the pressure plate 100 at the second unloading station and plug the pressure plate 100 into the carrier.

[0055] Based on the above, the single-board plug-in device in this embodiment can plug at least two electronic components into the single board. It can be understood that the type of electronic components plugged in each time may be different. In order to facilitate the transportation of different types of electronic components, the first transport member 241 in this embodiment includes at least two pneumatic clamps 2411, and the plug-in mechanism 240 also includes a sixth drive member 246. The Z-axis moving module 245 is used to drive the sixth drive member 246 to rise and fall in the vertical direction. The sixth drive member 246 can be selected as any one of the rotating drive structures such as a stepping motor or a servo motor. There is no specific restriction on this in this embodiment. The suction cup 2421 and the at least two pneumatic clamps 2411 are fixedly connected to the active end of the sixth drive member 246 and are arranged along the circumferential direction of the active end of the sixth drive member 246. The sixth drive member 246 can switch different pneumatic clamps 2411 by rotating the suction cup 2421 and the at least two pneumatic clamps 2411 around the axis of the active end of the sixth drive member 246, and can also switch from the pneumatic clamp 2411 to the suction cup 2421.

[0056] Of course, in other optional embodiments, the pneumatic clamp 2411 can also be directly and detachably connected to the Z-axis moving module 245, that is, in other optional embodiments, the staff can also carry different types of electronic components by replacing different pneumatic clamps 2411, and this is not specifically limited in the present embodiment.

[0057] Furthermore, the single-board plug-in device in this embodiment also includes a loading mechanism 250, which includes a placement rack 251. At least two placement layers are arranged in the placement rack 251 at intervals along the vertical direction. A first carrier board (not shown in the figure) for carrying electronic components is placed in all placement layers. A fourth conveyor line 2511 is arranged in all placement layers. The fourth conveyor line 2511 is configured to convey the first carrier board from the placement layer to the first conveyor line 211. At least two fourth conveyor lines 2511 can be docked with the first conveyor line 211 at the first loading station in sequence. Specifically, The fourth conveyor line 2511 in at least one of the two placement layers is docked with the first conveyor line 211, the first carrier in the placement layer is conveyed to the first conveyor line 211, and is conveyed to the first unloading station along the first conveyor line 211. After the first transport member 241 moves the electronic components on the first carrier, the first carrier is unloaded, and the fourth conveyor line 2511 in at least another one of the two placement layers is docked with the first conveyor line 211 to re-convey the first carrier to the first conveyor line 211. That is, in this embodiment, uninterrupted loading of electronic components can be achieved, thereby improving the working efficiency of the single-board plug-in equipment.

[0058] In order to enable at least two fourth conveyor lines 2511 to be docked with the first conveyor line 211 in sequence, the loading mechanism 250 in this embodiment further includes a first driving member 252, a first mounting seat 253 and a second mounting seat 254, the second mounting seat 254 is slidably connected to the first mounting seat 253, the placement rack 251 can be placed on the second mounting seat 254, and the first driving member 252 is configured to lift the second mounting seat 254 to lift the placement rack 251, so that at least two fourth conveyor lines 2511 can be docked with the first conveyor line 211 in sequence. It can be understood that the sliding structure between the second mounting seat 254 and the first mounting seat 253 is a prior art, and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

Among them, the first driving portion 2523 can be selected as any one of the rotation drive structures such as a stepping motor or a servo motor, and this is not specifically limited in this embodiment.

[0060] In this embodiment, after the first transport member 241 removes the electronic components on the first carrier at the first unloading station, the first carrier returns to the first loading station along the first conveyor line 211 and is re-moved into the placement rack 251. Subsequently, the first driving member 252 lifts the placement rack 251, and the fourth conveyor line 2511 in another of at least two placement layers docks with the first conveyor line 211 to re-transport the first carrier onto the first conveyor line 211. When the first carriers in all placement layers in the placement rack 251 are empty, the staff or a special feeding mechanism (not shown in the figure) can remove the placement rack 251 from the second mounting seat 254 and place a placement rack 251 on the second mounting seat 254. The first carrier in the re-placed placement rack 251 is fully loaded with electronic components. The staff feeds the first carrier in the placement rack 251 removed from the second mounting seat 254. It can be understood that the above-mentioned feeding mechanism can be an existing technical structure such as a robotic arm, which is not described in detail in this embodiment.

[0061] It can be understood that the first carrier board in this embodiment can carry multiple electronic components at the same time to further improve the working efficiency of the single-board plug-in device.

[0062] Furthermore, the first conveyor line 211 in the present embodiment includes a first mounting plate 2111 and a second mounting plate 2112, a first lifting plate 2114 and a second driving member 2115, and a first conveyor belt 2113 is disposed on the opposite side of the first mounting plate 2111 and the second mounting plate 2112.

[0064] In order to ensure that the first lifting plate 2114 can accurately lift the first carrier plate at the first unloading station, the first feeding mechanism 210 in this embodiment also includes a first position detection component 212, which is arranged on the downstream side of the first conveyor belt 2113 along its conveying direction and can detect the position of the first carrier plate.

[0065] Furthermore, a baffle 213 is installed at the downstream end of the first mounting plate 2111 and the second mounting plate 2112 along the conveying direction of the first conveyor belt 2113. When the first carrier plate is conveyed to the first unloading station, the first carrier plate can abut against the baffle 213 to ensure that the first carrier plate can always be located at the first unloading station during the plug-in operation.

[0066] Preferably, the third conveyor line 231 in this embodiment includes a third mounting plate 2311 and a fourth mounting plate 2312 that are relatively arranged, a second lifting plate 2314 and a third driving member 2315.
