Description

[0001] This application is a divisional application. The original application has the application number "202210836011.8" and the application date is "July 15, 2022". The invention title is "Horizontal Insertion Machine". Technical Field

[0002] This invention relates to the field of automatic insertion machine equipment, and particularly to a horizontal insertion machine. Background Technology

[0003] With the rapid development of electronic technology, electronic products are being used more and more widely. Circuit boards are one of the important components of electronic products, and insertion machines are machines that insert various electronic components into designated positions on PCB boards. However, most vertical insertion machines on the market currently require separate equipment to complete the component cutting, shaping, and insertion one by one, resulting in low work efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, a horizontal insertion machine is needed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0005] This invention relates to a head-mounted insertion device that performs component cutting, shaping, and insertion operations using a cutter, a forming blade, and a pusher, respectively. Initially, the cutter, forming blade, and pusher are relatively stationary. When the cutter cuts off the component lead, the cutter and the first support frame remain stationary, while the blade holder moves the forming blade and pusher downwards. When the forming blade finishes shaping the component lead, it remains stationary, and the blade holder moves the pusher downwards. When the pusher presses the shaped component lead into the circuit board, the pusher is at its lowest point. By using the cutter, forming blade, and pusher to complete component cutting, shaping, and insertion in one step, the work efficiency is greatly improved, solving the problem of low work efficiency in existing technologies where component cutting, shaping, and insertion all require separate equipment on an assembly line.

[0006] To address the above problems, the present invention provides a head insertion device comprising:

The outer side of the belt is pressed against the adjusting wheel 416, and the belt passes through the gap between the two adjusting wheels 416. Adjusting the distance between the two adjusting wheels 416 adjusts the belt tension, improving the rotational accuracy of the disc 31.

[0060] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 3 , Figure 8 Two sets of jumper devices 50 are respectively located at both ends of one side of the head insertion device 60, and are symmetrically arranged with respect to the center of the head insertion device 60. This provides a larger working area, prevents mutual interference, and improves work efficiency. Please refer to... Figure 2 The jumper cable device 50 includes a fixing unit, a traction unit, and a straightening unit. The fixing unit is fixedly connected to the head insertion device 60. The traction unit is located on the side of the fixing unit closer to the head insertion device 60 and is used to move the jumper cable. The straightening unit is located at the end of the traction unit away from the head insertion device 60 and is used to center and level the jumper cable. This improves the jumper cable conveying efficiency and the shaping quality of the jumper cable, thereby improving work efficiency.

[0061] The fixing unit includes a fixing block 511, a connecting block 512, a bearing seat 513, a jumper box aluminum block 514, a first aluminum block 515, and a second aluminum block 516. The fixing block 511 is bolted to the head tool holder of the head insertion device 60. One end of the connecting block 512 is connected to the fixing block 511, and the other end is connected to the bearing seat 513. One end of the bearing seat 513 is connected to the jumper box aluminum block 514. The second aluminum block 516 has a second through slot and is located at the end of the first gap away from the straightening unit, used to guide the jumper wire to the head insertion device 60, improving work efficiency. The second aluminum block 516 is fixed above one end of the jumper box aluminum block 514, and a second jumper gear 524 is fixed above the other end of the jumper box aluminum block 514. The first aluminum block 515 is provided with a first through slot. The first aluminum block 515 is located at the end of the straightening unit away from the servo motor 521, and the first aluminum block 515 is fixed to the end of the roller seat 533. The jumper wire passes through the first through slot to guide the jumper wire into the straightening unit.

[0062] The traction unit includes a servo motor 521, a straight jumper wire connecting block 522, a first jumper wire gear 523, and a second jumper wire gear 524. The servo motor 521 is mounted on a bearing housing 513. The first jumper wire gear 523 is fitted onto the outer circumference of the output shaft of the servo motor 521. The second jumper wire gear 524 is located on one side of the first jumper wire gear 523, and the first jumper wire gear 523 and the second jumper wire gear 524 are meshed together. A first gap is provided between the upper end of the first jumper wire gear 523 and the upper end of the second jumper wire gear 524. The jumper wire is located within the first gap and is in close contact with the upper ends of both the first jumper wire gear 523 and the second jumper wire gear 524. The servo motor 521 drives the first jumper wire gear 523 to rotate, and the first jumper wire gear 523 drives the second jumper wire gear 524 to rotate. Because the jumper wire is pressed and connected to the upper ends of the first jumper wire gear 523 and the second jumper wire gear 524, the jumper wire can be pulled forward during rotation. The straightened jumper wire connecting block 522 is installed on the roller fixing block 531 and the bearing seat 513, and is used to guide the straightened jumper wire into the traction unit.

[0063] The straightening unit includes a horizontal straightening component and a vertical straightening component. The horizontal straightening component includes a roller fixing block 531 and multiple first small wheels 532. One end of the roller fixing block 531 is connected to the bearing seat 513. The roller fixing block 531 is horizontally positioned, and multiple first small wheels 532 are arranged on its upper surface. The multiple first small wheels 532 are arranged in two groups, and a second gap is provided between the outer circumferences of the two groups of first small wheels 532. The second gap and the first gap are located on the same horizontal line to facilitate the passage of the jumper wire. The jumper wire is squeezed through the second gap to straighten and center the jumper wire from left to right, improve the forming quality of the jumper wire, and save costs.

[0064] The first small wheel 532 can be set to 7 units, with 4 units in one group and 3 units in another. The first small wheels 532 in one group are staggered with those in the other group to extend the shaping path and save costs. The first small wheels 532 in each group can also be set at intervals to save costs. When the jumper cable passes through, it is squeezed by the first small wheels 532 on both sides, which straightens the horizontally bent part of the jumper cable, achieving the effect of horizontal shaping and centering.

[0065] The vertical straightening assembly includes a roller base 533 and multiple second pinions 534. The roller base 533 is located at the end of the roller fixing block 531 furthest from the servo motor 521. A mounting surface is provided on the side of the roller base 533, perpendicular to the upper surface of the roller fixing block 531. Multiple second pinions 534 are mounted on the mounting surface, arranged in two groups. A third gap is provided between the two groups of second pinions 534, and this third gap is on the same horizontal line as the second gap, facilitating the passage of jumper wires. The jumper wire is pressed through the third gap to vertically straighten and center it, improving the forming quality of the jumper wire and saving costs.

[0066] There are seven second small wheels 534, four at the lower end of the mounting surface and three at the upper end. The upper and lower second small wheels 534 are staggered to extend the shaping path and save costs. The second small wheels 534 in each group are spaced apart to further reduce costs. When the jumper wire passes through the third gap, it is squeezed by the second small wheels 534 on both sides, straightening the vertically bent part of the jumper wire and achieving a vertical shaping and centering effect.

[0067] In use, select one set of jumper devices 50 according to the jumper specifications. Manually pass the end of the jumper through the first through slot, the third gap, the second gap, and then through the first gap and the second through slot in sequence. Start the servo motor 521, and the jumper moves towards the head insertion device 60 under the traction of the first jumper gear 523 and the second jumper gear 524. The subsequent part of the jumper passes through the vertical straightening component and the horizontal straightening component for vertical and horizontal straightening and centering, improving the utilization rate of the jumper and the efficiency of the work. Adding this jumper device 50 will not affect the use of the jumper device 50 on the other side, nor will it interfere with the head insertion device 60. On the contrary, it increases the functionality of the insertion machine and improves its cost-effectiveness. It allows the machine to adapt to jumpers of different diameters, increasing the machine's functionality and improving its cost-effectiveness. The jumper device 50 increases compatibility with jumpers of different diameters, has stable performance, is easy to install and debug, and significantly improves production efficiency.

[0072] Please refer to Figure 12 The blade holder 623 includes a cover 6231, a frame 6232, and an adjusting bracket 6233. One side of the frame 6232 is fixedly connected to the head bracket 6111 and is located below the slide rail. One end of the adjusting bracket 6233 is connected to the frame 6232, and the other end is bolted to the cover 6231 for adjusting the position of the cover 6231. A second ball bearing box 625 is mounted on the cover 6231. The height of the second ball bearing box 625 is adjusted by adjusting the height of the cover 6231, thereby adjusting the descent height of the pusher blade 633 and improving compatibility. The frame 6232 has openings at the top and bottom, through which both the blade holder 622 and the blade assembly unit 63 pass.

[0073] Please refer to Figure 14 The tool holder 622 is designed with a cross-shaped structure, comprising a frame 6221 and a fixing plate 6222. The frame 6221 is vertically oriented, with its upper end connected to a connector 6218. The frame 6221 is a cuboid structure, with its two sides in the width direction contacting a first support frame 634 and a second support frame 635, respectively. The frame 6221 also has at least one weight-reducing hole 6223 for weight reduction, improving motion efficiency and saving costs. The fixing plate 6222 is horizontally positioned on the frame 6221, with a first groove 6224 and a second groove 6225 located on opposite sides of the frame 6221, below the fixing plate 6222. The structure is compact and saves space.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 15A first ball bearing box 624 is disposed on one side of a box frame 6232, and a first ball bearing groove is provided inside the first ball bearing box 624. A first support frame 634 is located between the first ball bearing box 624 and the cutter holder 622. A first groove 6224 is provided on the side of the cutter holder 622 opposite to the first ball bearing box 624. Initially, the first ball bearing is located between the first groove 6224 and the first through hole 6341. The first support frame 634 is provided with a first through hole 6341, which connects the first ball bearing groove and the first groove 6224. When the cutter 631 cuts the component foot, the first ball bearing rolls from the first groove 6224 into the first ball bearing groove, so that the first ball bearing is located between the first through hole 6341 and the first ball bearing groove, which can fix the first support frame 634, so that the cutter 631 no longer descends with the cutter holder 622. It is flexible in use, simple in structure, and easy to install and disassemble.

[0075] The first ball bearing box 624 is located on one side of the cover 6231, and the second ball bearing box 625 has a second ball bearing groove. The second support frame 635 is located between the second ball bearing box 625 and the tool holder 622. The tool holder 622 has a second groove 6225 on the side opposite to the second ball bearing box 625, and the second ball bearing is located between the second groove 6225 and the second through hole 6351. The second support frame 635 has a second through hole 6351, which connects the second ball bearing groove and the second groove 6225. When the forming tool 632 forms the element foot, the second ball bearing rolls from the second groove 6225 into the second ball bearing groove, so that the second ball bearing is located between the second through hole 6351 and the second ball bearing groove, which can fix the second support frame 635 and stop the forming tool 632 from descending. It is flexible in use, simple in structure, and easy to install and disassemble. Springs are installed in both the first ball bearing box 624 and the second ball bearing box 625, with the first and second balls engaged between the springs and the tool holder 622. When the tool holder 622 moves upward, under the force of the springs, the first ball returns from the first ball bearing groove to the first groove 6224, and the second ball returns from the second ball bearing groove to the second groove 6225, thereby causing the first support frame 634 and the second support frame 635 to return to their initial state.

[0076] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 16 , Figure 17 , Figure 18The blade assembly unit 63 includes two cutting blades 631, two forming blades 632, two push blades 633, a first support frame 634, a second support frame 635, two forming blades 636, and two downward-curving blades 637. The first support frame 634 and the second support frame 635 are respectively disposed on both sides of the blade holder 622. The two cutting blades 631 are connected to the first support frame 634 and are located on both sides of the first support frame 634. The two forming blades 632 are disposed on the second support frame 635, and the two push blades 633 are disposed on the blade holder 622, located between the two forming blades 632. The two forming blades 632 are located between the two cutting blades 631. The two cutting blades 631, two forming blades 632, and two push blades 633 are all vertically arranged on the same plane, and the blades on both sides are symmetrically arranged with respect to the blade holder 622. Please refer to... Figure 19 The forming blade 632 has a clearance groove 6321 on its side end. Two forming blades 636 are respectively set on two opposite sides of the two forming blades 632, and are located below the pusher blade 633. One end of the lower curved blade 637 is connected to one end of the forming blade 636, and the other end of the lower curved blade 637 is suspended. Before the forming blade 632 completes the forming operation, the two forming blades 636 are set horizontally, and the lower curved blade 637 is suspended. After the forming blade 632 completes the forming operation, the forming blade 636 swings back, driving the lower curved blade 637 to swing back, so that the other end of the lower curved blade 637 is located in the clearance groove 6321 of the forming blade 632, so that the forming blade 636 provides clearance for the pusher blade 633, which facilitates the downward movement of the pusher blade 633. The lower ends of the cutting blade 631, forming blade 632, and pusher blade 633 are all provided with a V-shaped groove 638, which can hold the component during operation, improving operation efficiency and operation accuracy.

[0077] In the initial state until the cutter 631 cuts off the component lead, the cutter 631, forming cutter 632, and pusher 633 are relatively stationary, with the lower end of the cutter 631 at the bottom and the lower end of the pusher 633 at the top. When the cutter 631 cuts off the component lead, the cutter 631 is fixed to the first support frame 634, and the cutter holder 622 moves the forming cutter 632 and pusher 633 downwards. When the forming cutter 632 has finished forming the component lead, the forming cutter 632 remains stationary, and the cutter holder 622 moves the pusher 633 downwards. When the pusher 633 presses the formed component lead into the circuit board, the pusher 633 is at its lowest point.

[0078] The principle of this head plug-in device 60 will be described in detail below.

[0079] 1. The motor 6211 drives the Z-axis rack 6216 to move downward along the guide rail 611 through the transmission gear shaft 6215, thereby driving the tool holder 622, the first support frame 634, the second support frame 635, the cutter 631, the forming blade 632, the pusher 633, the first ball bearing, and the second ball bearing to move downward together.

[0080] Second, when the cutter 631 touches the component and cuts off the component's lead, the first ball bearing is exactly in position in the first ball bearing groove. As the cutter holder 622 continues to move downward, the first ball bearing rolls from the first groove 6224 into the first ball bearing groove. The first support frame 634 is fixedly connected to the box frame 6232, causing the first support frame 634, the cutter 631, and the cutter holder 622 to separate and stop moving. At the same time, under the pressure of the cutter holder 622, the spring inside the first ball bearing box 624 is compressed.

[0081] Third, the blade holder 622 continues to move downwards. When the forming blade 632 touches the cut component foot, the component foot bends 90° under the action of the forming blade 632, completing the forming operation. At this time, the second ball is located in the second ball groove. As the blade holder 622 continues to move downwards, the second ball rolls from the second groove 6225 into the second ball groove. The second support frame 635 is fixedly connected to the cover 6231, causing the second support frame 635, the forming blade 632, and the blade holder 622 to separate and stop moving. At the same time, under the pressure of the blade holder 622, the spring in the second ball box 625 is compressed. The forming blade 636 drives the lower curved blade 637 to rotate backwards, offsetting its position from the push blade 633.

[0082] Fourth, the tool holder 622 continues to move downward, and the pusher 633, under the pushing force of the tool holder 622, inserts the formed component lead into the corresponding span hole on the circuit board, completing the insertion operation.

[0083] 5. Motor 6211 reverses, driving tool holder 622 upward. When it reaches the position of the second ball bearing hole in the second groove 6225, the second ball bearing returns to the second groove 6225 under the push of the spring, thus fixing the second support frame 635 to the tool holder 622. Continuing upward, when it reaches the position of the first ball bearing hole in the first groove 6224, the first ball bearing returns to the first groove 6224 under the push of the spring, thus fixing the first support frame 634 to the tool holder 622. Tool holder 622 continues to move upward until it returns to its initial position, starting the next insertion operation.

[0084] The working principle of this embodiment will be described in detail below.

[0085] 1. Start the control system. The left connecting unit 71 transports the circuit board to the plug-in transport unit 35, and the plug-in transport unit 35 transports the circuit board to the set position.

[0086] 2. The Y-axis drive motor 44 drives the Y-axis worktable 34 and the X-axis drive motor 42 drives the X-axis worktable 33 to move to the set position. The disc drive motor 411 starts and controls the disc 31 drive device 40 to rotate a certain angle through the control system. The belt drives the driven wheel 413 and the disc 31 to rotate the same angle.

[0087] Third, the double jumper device delivers the jumper to the lower end of the head insertion device 60, the cutter cuts the jumper, the forming blade shapes the jumper, and the pusher inserts the shaped jumper into the corresponding position on the circuit board.

[0088] IV. The base cutting device 90 cuts off the excess jumper wires at the bottom of the circuit board.

[0089] 5. Rotate disc 31 to the set angle and repeat steps 2 to 4 until all the circuit board insertion work is completed.

[0090] 6. The plug-in conveying unit 35 conveys the circuit board to the right connecting unit 72, and the right connecting unit 72 conveys the plugged circuit board to the next process.

[0091] In this embodiment, the present invention relates to a head insertion device and a corresponding horizontal insertion machine. The head insertion device includes a head support, a blade assembly drive unit, and a blade assembly unit. The blade assembly drive unit is mounted on the head support and connected to the blade assembly unit. The blade assembly drive unit drives the blade assembly unit to move up and down to perform cutting, shaping, and insertion operations on components. The blade assembly drive unit includes a blade assembly drive component and a blade holder. The blade assembly drive component is mounted on the head support, and the blade holder is slidably connected to the head support. The blade assembly drive component drives the blade holder to reciprocate up and down. The blade assembly unit includes two cutting blades, two forming blades, two push blades, a first support frame, and a second support frame. The first support frame and the second support frame are respectively mounted on both sides of the blade holder. The two cutting blades are connected to the first support frame and are located on both sides of the first support frame. The two forming blades are mounted on the second support frame, and the two push blades are mounted on the blade holder, located between the two forming blades. Two forming blades are positioned between two cutting blades, and the two cutting blades, two forming blades, and two push blades are all vertically arranged on the same plane. Initially, the cutting blades, forming blades, and push blades are relatively stationary. When the cutting blade cuts off the component lead, the cutting blade and the first support frame remain stationary, and the blade holder moves the forming blade and push blade downwards. When the forming blade finishes forming the component lead, the forming blade remains stationary, and the blade holder moves the push blade downwards. When the push blade presses the formed component lead into the circuit board, the push blade is at its lowest point. By using the cutting blade, forming blade, and push blade, the component cutting, forming, and insertion are completed in one step, greatly improving work efficiency. Horizontal insertion machines equipped with a head insertion device can also significantly improve work efficiency, solving the problem of low work efficiency in existing technologies where component cutting, forming, and insertion all require separate equipment to be completed one by one on an assembly line.

[0092] In summary, although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, the above preferred embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
