Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of circuit board conveying equipment technology, and in particular to an intelligent board feeding and receiving device. Background Technology

[0002] The manufacturing process of copper foil substrates (boards) is quite complex. Existing automated board manufacturing processes usually use carriers to carry the boards for transfer. However, due to unreasonable structural design, traditional board manufacturing processes are prone to wear and tear during the transfer process, which in turn generates dust particles and causes pollution. Furthermore, the commonly used board picking and placing mechanisms are space-consuming and slow in transfer speed. Therefore, it is necessary to improve them. Summary of the Invention

[0003] In view of the shortcomings of the existing technology, the purpose of this invention is to provide an intelligent take-up and take-down plate device.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: an intelligent board feeding and discharging device, which includes at least one board conveying mechanism, which can be used to input or output boards;

[0005] A three-axis robotic arm capable of supporting and transferring the plate;

[0006] A lifting device is provided, on which the three-axis robotic arm is mounted, and the lifting device can drive the three-axis robotic arm to rise and fall.

[0007] At least one carrier conveying mechanism is provided, which can be used to input or output a carrier. The three-axis robotic arm is disposed between the plate conveying mechanism and the carrier conveying mechanism. The three-axis robotic arm can pick up the plate from the carrier to the plate conveying mechanism, or pick up the plate from the plate conveying mechanism to the carrier.

[0008] And at least one NG temporary storage mechanism, which is located at the interval of the plate conveying mechanism, and the three-axis robotic arm can place NG plates into the NG temporary storage mechanism.

[0009] In a further technical solution, the three-axis robotic arm has a bearing end, which is provided with multiple suction cups for adsorbing and fixing plates.

[0010] In a further technical solution, the plate conveying mechanism is a rotating plate conveying mechanism that can drive the plate to rotate 180 degrees or 90 degrees.

[0011] A further technical solution also includes at least one switching expansion device, which has several storage compartments for temporary storage of vehicles.

[0012] In a further technical solution, the exchange expansion device is also provided with a drive device, which is used to drive the storage cell to rise and fall, so as to select an empty storage cell as a temporary storage carrier.

[0013] In a further technical solution, the vehicle conveying mechanism is located between the three-axis robotic arm and the exchange expansion device.

[0014] In a further technical solution, the NG temporary storage mechanism has multiple spaced-apart receiving slots, and the NG plate is horizontally inserted into the receiving slots.

[0015] In a further technical solution, the number of plate conveying mechanisms is set to two to form a dual conveying track.

[0016] In a further technical solution, the vehicle conveying mechanism is provided with two or more, and the vehicles of the two vehicle conveying mechanisms are used alternately.

[0018] The advantages of this invention compared to the prior art after adopting the above structure are:

[0019] This invention uses a three-axis robotic arm to receive and deliver plates. Compared with the traditional method of manual or rolling plate delivery, this method can reduce plate wear and tear.

[0023] Figure 3 This is a top view of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0024] The following are merely preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0025] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, to achieve the above-mentioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: an intelligent board delivery and take-up device, comprising at least one board conveying mechanism 1, a three-axis robotic arm 2, a lifting device 3, at least one carrier conveying mechanism 4, and at least one NG temporary storage mechanism 5. All the above components can be disposed within a frame 10. The board conveying mechanism 1 can be used to input or output boards 200. The three-axis robotic arm 2 can support and transfer the boards 200, and the three-axis robotic arm 2 is disposed on the lifting device 3, which can drive... The three-axis robotic arm 2 is raised and lowered; the carrier conveying mechanism 4 can be used to input or output the carrier 100. The three-axis robotic arm 2 is disposed between the plate conveying mechanism 1 and the carrier conveying mechanism 4. The three-axis robotic arm 2 can pick up the plate 200 from the carrier 100 to the plate conveying mechanism 1, or pick up the plate 200 from the plate conveying mechanism 1 to the carrier 100. The NG temporary storage mechanism 5 is disposed at the interval of the plate conveying mechanism 1. The three-axis robotic arm 2 can place the NG plate 200 in the NG temporary storage mechanism 5. In practical applications, the lifting device 3 drives the three-axis robotic arm 2 to rise or fall to a predetermined height, so that the three-axis robotic arm 2 can pick up and put down the plate 200, and the plate 200 can move between the various mechanisms of the equipment.

[0026] This invention uses a three-axis robotic arm to receive and deliver plates. Compared with the traditional method of manual or rolling plate delivery, this method can reduce plate wear and tear. The three-axis robotic arm can also reduce the space occupied and allow the plates to move between the various mechanisms of the equipment, making the equipment more flexible.

[0027] The plate conveying mechanism 1 can be a roller conveying device or other types of conveying device, and the structure of the plate conveying mechanism 1 is not limited.

[0028] Preferably, the three-axis robotic arm 2 has a bearing end, which is provided with multiple suction cups for adsorbing and fixing the plate 200. This structural design uses a support method to support the plate 200, which can reduce the generation of abrasive debris and reduce the generation of dust particles that cause pollution.

[0029] The plate conveying mechanism 1 is provided in two forms to form a dual conveying track.

[0030] The carrier conveying mechanism 4 is provided in two or more, and the carriers 100 of the two carrier conveying mechanisms 4 are used alternately. Each of the carrier conveying mechanisms 4 is located between the three-axis robotic arm 2 and the exchange expansion device 6. These carrier conveying mechanisms individually input or output carriers. When the plates of one carrier are taken out, the plates 200 of the other carrier 100 are taken out. When one carrier is full of plates, the plates 200 are transferred to another carrier 100 to achieve continuous production.

[0031] The conveying direction of the plate conveying mechanism 1 is parallel or perpendicular to the conveying direction of the carrier conveying mechanism 4.

[0032] The plate conveying mechanism 1 is a rotating plate conveying mechanism that can drive the plate 200 to rotate 180 degrees or 90 degrees. The rotating plate conveying mechanism can be an existing device, and the present invention does not limit the structure of the rotating plate conveying mechanism, so it will not be described in detail.

[0033] When placing the plate, the operator can place the carrier 100 into the carrier conveyor mechanism 4. After the carrier 100 is positioned, the three-axis robotic arm 2 picks up the plate 200 from the carrier 100 and transfers it to the plate conveyor mechanism 1. After being lifted, the plate is rotated (180° or 90°) and sized (pressed) before descending back onto the conveyor for discharge. When the plate 200 of one carrier 100 is removed, the plate 200 of another carrier 100 is picked up to achieve continuous production.

[0034] When collecting the plates, the plate 200 is fed into the plate conveying mechanism 1, and after being lifted, it is rotated (180° or 90°) and sized (patted). After being lowered back onto the conveyor, the three-axis robotic arm 2 picks up the plate 200 and places it into the carrier 100. When one carrier 100 is full of plate 200, the plate 200 is transferred to another carrier 100 to achieve continuous production.

[0035] Preferably, the present invention further includes at least one exchange expansion device 6, which has a plurality of storage compartments 61 for temporarily storing the carrier 100. The exchange expansion device 6 is also provided with a drive device 62, which is used to drive the storage compartments 61 to move up and down to select an empty storage compartment 61 to temporarily store the carrier 100. In practical applications, after the personnel place the carrier 100 into the exchange expansion device 6, the storage compartment 61 moves up or down to select an empty storage compartment 61. The carrier 100 that has completed the loading and unloading of the tray in the machine is transferred to an empty storage compartment 61, and the storage compartment 61 then moves up or down to send the carrier 100 that the personnel just placed into the machine.

[0036] Preferably, the NG temporary storage mechanism 5 has a plurality of spaced-apart receiving slots 51, and the NG plate 200 is horizontally inserted into the receiving slots 51.

[0037] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, there will be changes in the specific implementation and application scope based on the ideas of the present invention. The content of this specification should not be construed as a limitation of the present invention.
