Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of electronic product processing equipment, in particular to intelligent equipment capable of identifying electronic materials, automatically labeling, classifying and distributing materials. Background Art

[0002] In the patch production process of circuit boards, electronic materials are usually placed in a carrier tape wrapped around a tray, so that the required electronic materials can be easily taken during the patch process. Therefore, the tray is one of the commonly used carriers of electronic materials. During the warehousing of the tray, the QR code or other code on the tray needs to be scanned and identified to realize registration, and a label is produced for it. The label is then pasted on the tray to establish a quality traceability system, after which the tray can be classified, stored or issued.

[0003] With the automation and intelligent upgrade of equipment, processes such as scanning and labeling of material trays can now be automated on the assembly line.

[0004] At present, in order to save material costs and facilitate observation of the number of remaining carriers, most of the trays usually have several hollow grooves on the end faces of both sides of the tray. As a result, when the trays are stacked on the loading end of the labeling line, the position of the hollow grooves needs to be more accurately controlled. Otherwise, during labeling, the hollow grooves are easily aligned with the labeling machine, and the labels cannot be smoothly attached to the end faces of the trays. This needs to be improved.

[0011] As a further solution of the present invention: the driving roller is located between the feeding end and the retaining roller of the belt conveyor; the height of the retaining roller is greater than the height of the driving roller.

[0028] See also Figures 1 to 4 In the embodiment of the present invention, the intelligent equipment capable of automatically labeling, classifying and distributing electronic materials includes a control host and a frame 1. A belt conveyor 2 is installed on the top of the frame 1. A camera 4 and a labeling machine 5 are sequentially arranged above the belt conveyor 2 along its conveying direction. The camera 4 is fixedly mounted directly above the belt conveyor 2. The camera 4 is connected to the control host, and the control host is pre-installed with image recognition software, so as to recognize the content of the photo taken by the camera 4, so as to realize the scanning of the material tray 19 at the same time. The relative positions of the hollow grooves 20 on the material tray 19 are automatically determined. The labeling machine 5 is connected to the frame 1 through a lifting mechanism. The outer wall of the frame 1 is located on the inner side of the belt conveyor 2 and a material tray correction mechanism 6 is provided. The material tray correction mechanism 6 is used to correct the material tray 19 whose hollow grooves 20 are outside the set range, so as to prevent the labeling machine 5 from sticking the label to the hollow groove 20 when labeling. A loading device is provided on one side of the loading end of the belt conveyor 2, and a classification conveying mechanism 21 is provided on one side of the unloading end of the belt conveyor 2.

[0029] The present invention adopts the above-mentioned scheme. When in use, the material tray 19 is placed on the loading end of the belt conveyor 2 through the loading equipment, so that the belt conveyor 2 can be used to transport the material tray 19. When the material tray 19 passes under the camera 4, the camera 4 will take a picture of the material tray 19, so as to scan the material tray 19 through the image recognition software pre-installed on the control host, and at the same time, it can identify the position of each hollow groove 20 on the surface of the material tray 19. Afterwards, before the labeling machine 5 labels the material tray 19, if there is an improper position of the hollow groove 20 on the material tray 10, the material tray correction mechanism 6 will correct the material tray 10 to avoid sticking the label on the hollow groove 20 of the material tray 19.

[0030] Specific combination Figure 2 , Figure 3 In one embodiment of the present invention, the belt conveyor 2 includes two conveyor belts 3 arranged parallel to each other, and the two conveyor belts 3 are driven by the same motor, the material tray correction mechanism 6 is located between the two conveyor belts 3, and the material tray correction mechanism 6 is located directly below the labeling machine 5.

[0032] Specifically, the positioning clamping mechanism includes a positioning plate 10 fixedly mounted on the top of the flat plate 9 through a plurality of columns, a plurality of stop rollers 11 are rotatably mounted on the top of the positioning plate 10, a second electric cylinder 13 is fixedly mounted on the top of the flat plate 9, a push rod end of the second electric cylinder 13 is fixedly connected to a movable seat 14, and a plurality of driving rollers 15 are rotatably mounted on the movable seat 14;

[0034] Furthermore, the tray driving mechanism includes a first servo motor 16 fixedly mounted on the movable seat 14, and an output shaft of the first servo motor 16 is fixedly connected to one end of one of the driving rollers 15;

[0035] When the material tray 19 clamped between the retaining roller 11 and the driving roller 15 needs to be corrected, the servo motor 16 is simply started to drive the driving roller 15 to rotate, thereby driving the material tray 19 to rotate so that the hollow groove 20 on the material tray 19 is staggered with the labeling machine 5.

[0036] Specific combination Figure 2 On the basis of the previous embodiment, further, the driving roller 15 is located between the feeding end of the belt conveyor 2 and the stop roller 11; the height of the stop roller 11 is greater than the height of the driving roller 15, and the height of the stop roller 11 is greater than the height of the driving roller 15, so that when the top end of the stop roller 11 is located above the surface of the conveyor belt 3, the top end of the driving roller 15 is still lower than the surface of the conveyor belt 3, so that the material tray 19 can pass smoothly over the driving roller 15 and be blocked by the stop roller 11, and then the first electric cylinder 8 is started to push the flat plate 9 up, so that the top end of the driving roller 15 can be extended out of the conveyor belt 3, thereby facilitating the clamping of the material tray 19.
