[0036] The specific contents of the present invention are further explained in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] This application provides a frame contact silver point fully automatic welding machine, referring to Figure 1and Figure 2 The fully automatic soldering machine includes five functional modules: a contact dual-flexible feeding unit 1, a contact picking and solder paste coating unit 2, a silver contact vibration feeding unit 3, a silver point positioning and suction cup picking unit 4, and an automatic soldering unit 5. The contact dual-flexible feeding unit 1, the silver contact vibration feeding unit 3, and the automatic soldering unit 5 are located in the same straight line, and the contact dual-flexible feeding unit 1 and the silver contact vibration feeding unit 3 are respectively located on both sides of the automatic soldering unit 3, and the contact picking and solder paste coating unit 2 is located between the contact dual-flexible feeding unit 1 and the automatic soldering unit 5, and the silver point positioning and suction cup picking unit 4 is located between the silver contact vibration feeding unit 3 and the automatic soldering unit 5.

[0038] The fully automatic welding machine also includes an electrical control cabinet 6, a welding control cabinet 7, an equipment switch control box 8, and a frame. The electrical control cabinet 6 houses the electrical control equipment and systems for controlling the normal operation of the dual-flexible contact loading unit 1, the contact pick-up and solder paste coating unit 2, the silver contact vibration loading unit 3, the silver point positioning and suction cup picking unit 4, and the automatic welding unit 5. The welding control cabinet 7 houses the welding control equipment and systems for controlling the normal welding of the automatic welding unit 5. The equipment switch box 8 houses switches for controlling the electrical control equipment and systems within the electrical control cabinet 6 and the welding control cabinet 7. The dual-flexible contact loading unit 1, the contact pick-up and solder paste coating unit 2, the silver contact vibration loading unit 3, the silver point positioning and suction cup picking unit 4, and the automatic welding unit 5 are connected via the frame. The automatic welding unit 5 includes a qualified product discharge guide 55 and a rejected product discharge guide 56 located near the silver point positioning and suction cup picking unit 4.

[0039] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The contact dual-flexible feeding unit 1 includes a flexible feeding module and a flexible vibration plate 14. The flexible feeding module includes a contact storage bin 11, a lifting track 12, and a contact loading vibration plate 13. The loading end of the lifting track 12 is connected to the contact storage bin 11, and the unloading end is connected to the feeding end of the contact loading vibration plate 13, which is used to evenly feed the contact pieces in the contact storage bin 11 to the contact loading vibration plate 13. The discharge end of the contact loading vibration plate 13 is connected to the flexible vibration plate 14 to supply the flexible vibration plate 14. The discharge end of the flexible vibration plate 14 is arranged toward the contact material removal and solder paste coating unit 2, and is used to provide the contact material removal and solder paste coating unit 2 with contact pieces in a horizontal state.

[0040] The contact picking and solder paste coating unit 2 includes a first CCD visual inspection device 21 for selecting a contact piece with a suitable position in the flexible vibration disk 14 and accurately positioning the contact position, and also includes an automatic rotating tool 24, a solder paste cylinder 23 and a contact picking robot 22; the first CCD visual inspection device 21 is connected to the frame, and the mechanical arm of the contact picking robot 22 is provided with a picking vacuum suction cup 221 and a contact clamping claw 222; the automatic rotating tool 24 is located between the first CCD visual inspection device 21 and the contact picking robot 22, and the automatic rotating tool 24 includes a circular rotating table, at least one clamping workpiece 241 arranged along the radial direction of the rotating table, and a contact rotating cylinder 242 connected to the frame. The rotating axis of the rotating table is arranged horizontally, and the output shaft of the contact rotating cylinder 242 is connected to the rotating table for driving the rotating table to rotate. The clamping workpiece 241 includes a clamping block arranged along the radial direction of the rotating table, and the clamping block is provided with a groove for inserting the contact piece away from the center of the rotating table.

[0041] When the rotating table drives the clamping block to rotate to the horizontal position, the groove opening is horizontally facing away from the center of the rotating table. After the contact picking robot 22 picks up the horizontal contact piece in the flexible vibration disk 14 at a suitable position, it is placed in the automatic rotating tooling 24 at the clamping workpiece 241 in a horizontal position. The picking vacuum suction cup 221 can drive the contact piece to be horizontally inserted into the groove. At this time, the contact piece is in a horizontal position, so that the clamping workpiece 241 can be clamped by the automatic rotating tooling 23 to clamp the contact piece. The contact rotating cylinder 242 of the automatic rotating tooling 24 rotates, thereby driving the clamped workpiece 241 to rotate 90° clockwise to a vertical position, which can drive the contact piece to a vertical position, and the contact welding point of the contact piece is facing the discharge port of the solder paste cylinder 23. The solder paste cylinder 23 is connected to a first driving member for driving the solder paste cylinder 23 to move horizontally, and the first driving member is fixedly connected to the frame. The first driving member can be a structure or equipment such as a cylinder or an oil cylinder that can drive the solder paste cylinder 23 to move horizontally; the first driving member drives the solder paste cylinder 23 to move horizontally, which can make the solder paste cylinder 23 move toward the contact piece, thereby quantitatively coating the contact welding point of the contact piece, and then the contact claw 22 of the contact picking robot 22 will take the contact piece coated with solder paste to the automatic welding unit 5.

[0042] Reference Figure 5 and Figure 6The silver contact vibrating feeding unit 3 includes a silver contact vibrating plate 31, which is used for automatically and continuously providing silver contacts with arc-shaped convex strips facing upward for the silver contact positioning and suction cup picking unit 4. The silver contact vibrating plate 31 includes a vibrating plate body and a screening guide rail. The screening guide rail includes a feeding guide rail, a flipping guide rail and a discharging guide rail connected in sequence. The vibrating output track of the vibrating plate body is connected to the feeding guide rail; and the bottom wall width of the feeding guide rail is greater than or equal to the width of the long strip silver contacts and less than the length of the long strip silver contacts, allowing silver contacts with a length direction consistent with the conveying direction to pass through. In this way, the feeding guide rail can screen out silver contacts with a length direction consistent with the conveying direction, and silver contacts with a length direction inconsistent with the conveying direction can fall into the vibrating plate body for secondary screening.

[0043] The bottom wall of the feed guide rail flips over and transitions to the side wall of the flip guide rail. The width of the flip guide rail is smaller than the thickness of the arc-shaped convex surface of the silver dots, allowing the silver dots with square bottom surfaces that fit the side wall of the flip guide rail to pass through. In this way, the flip guide rail can screen out the silver dots with square bottom surfaces that fit the side wall of the flip guide rail, and the silver dots with arc-shaped convex surfaces that fit the side wall of the flip guide rail can fall into the vibrating plate body for secondary screening.

[0044] The side wall of the flipping guide rail flips over and transitions to the bottom wall of the discharging guide rail, that is, the bottom wall of the feed guide rail, the bottom wall of the flipping guide rail and the bottom wall of the discharging guide rail are formed in one piece, and the discharging guide rail is connected to the silver point positioning and suction cup picking unit 4, and is used to provide a long strip of silver point with an arc-shaped convex surface facing upward for the output of the silver point positioning and suction cup picking unit 4.

[0045] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 The silver dot positioning and suction cup retrieving unit 4 includes a silver dot loading and positioning fixture 43 and a silver dot retrieving robot 42. The discharge rail in the silver dot vibrating plate 31 is connected to the silver dot loading and positioning fixture 43. The silver dot is transported by the silver dot vibrating plate 31 to the position of the silver dot loading and positioning fixture 43. When the silver dot is in the position of the silver dot loading and positioning fixture 43, the curved convex surface of the silver dot faces upward. The silver dot retrieving robot 42 is equipped with a silver dot vacuum suction cup 41 and a finished product gripper 44. After the silver dot positioning and suction cup retrieving unit 4 confirms the position of the silver dot in the position of the silver dot loading and positioning fixture 43 through optical fiber positioning, the silver dot vacuum suction cup 41 picks up the silver dot and places it in the position where the contact sheet is coated with solder paste in the automatic welding unit 5. A qualified finished product unloading rail 55 is located between the silver dot retrieving robot 42 and the welding control cabinet 7.

[0046] Reference Figure 8 、 Figure 9 and Figure 10The automatic welding unit 5 includes an upper electrode tooling and a lower electrode tooling for vertically placing the contact piece. The upper electrode tooling includes an upper frame, a connecting block, and a vertically arranged plum blossom electrode 52. The connecting block is slidably connected to the upper frame. The connecting block is connected to a vertically arranged drive cylinder, which is used to drive the connecting block downward. The plum blossom electrode 52 is provided with a plurality of electrode positions matching the arc-shaped convex surface of the silver dot around a circle, and the plum blossom electrode 52 is detachably connected to the connecting block by pins. In this embodiment, the number of electrode positions is twelve, and the twelve electrode positions are evenly distributed. When an electrode position is worn, the next electrode position can be efficiently and quickly replaced for continued use. The lower electrode tooling includes a lower frame and a lower electrode 53. The lower electrode 53 is detachably connected to the lower frame by pins. In this way, when the shape of the contact piece to be welded changes, it can be replaced with a lower electrode 53 that matches the shape of the contact piece.

[0047] The lower frame is also connected to a contact clamping device 54, located above the lower electrode 53. This device is used to clamp the contact piece, reducing the possibility of displacement during welding, which could affect the welding effect. The contact clamping device 54 also allows for secondary positioning of the contact piece, reducing the possibility of contact piece displacement affecting the welding effect. The lower electrode 53 is also connected to an internal water circulation device for improving welding stability. The internal water circulation device includes a water circulation pipe 9 and a device water pressure control unit 10. The device water pressure control unit 10 is connected to the water circulation pipe 9 and is used to control the temperature, flow rate, and water pressure of the water flow within the water circulation pipe 9. The water circulation pipe 9 is connected to the waterway hole of the lower electrode 53. The internal water circulation device improves welding stability and protects the automatic welding unit 5. A defective product unloading guide 56 is provided between the lower electrode 53 and the silver point material collection robot 42.

[0048] The automatic welding unit 5 also includes a second CCD visual inspection device 51, which is used to identify whether the product is qualified or not. The finished product clamping claw 44 is used to clamp the qualified products determined by the second CCD visual inspection device 51 to the qualified finished product unloading guide rail 55, and to clamp the unqualified products determined by the second CCD visual inspection device 51 to the unqualified product unloading guide rail 56.

[0049] In this way, the solder-coated contact sheet is placed on the lower electrode fixture by the contact picker robot 22 and clamped. After the silver dot is positioned, the plum blossom electrode 52 is pressed down, and the contact clamping device 54 is released, and discharge welding begins. The welded product is automatically judged for quality by the second CCD visual inspection device 51. The finished product is then picked up and unloaded by the finished product gripper 44 of the silver dot picker robot 42, and then placed at a fixed location.

[0050] The present invention relates to a fully automatic welding machine for frame contact silver points. Prior to welding, a lower electrode 53 matching the contact piece to be welded is installed on the lower frame according to the shape of the contact piece to be welded. Subsequently, the lifting track 12 operates, and the contact pieces in the contact storage bin 11 are transported to the contact loading vibration plate 13 via the lifting track 12. The contact pieces are then transported to the flexible vibration plate 14 via the contact loading vibration plate 13.

[0051] Afterwards, when the rotating table drives the clamping block to rotate to the horizontal position, the material picking vacuum suction cup 221 of the contact picking robot 22 picks up the horizontal contact piece in the appropriate position in the flexible vibration disk 14, and the material picking vacuum suction cup 221 can drive the contact piece to be horizontally inserted into the groove, so that the clamping workpiece 241 can clamp the contact piece; the contact rotating cylinder 242 rotates, thereby driving the contact piece to rotate 90° clockwise to a vertical state, so that the contact piece is in a vertical state, so that the contact welding point of the contact piece is facing the discharge port of the solder paste cylinder 23, and the first driving member drives the solder paste cylinder 23 to move toward the contact piece, so that the solder paste can be quantitatively applied to the contact welding point of the contact piece, and then the contact claw 22 of the contact picking robot 22 picks up the contact piece coated with solder paste and delivers it to the lower electrode 53 in the automatic welding unit 5;

[0052] At the same time, the silver dot with an arc-shaped convex surface facing upward is transported by the silver dot vibration disk 31 in the silver contact vibration feeding unit 3 to the position of the silver dot feeding positioning tool 43 with the arc-shaped convex surface facing upward. After the silver dot positioning and suction cup picking unit 4 confirms the position of the silver dot in the position of the silver dot feeding positioning tool 43 through optical fiber positioning, the silver dot vacuum suction cup 41 picks up the silver dot and places the silver dot at the position where the contact piece is coated with solder paste in the automatic welding unit 5;

[0053] The clamping device 54 in the automatic welding unit 5 realizes the clamping and secondary positioning of the contact piece. After the silver point is positioned and placed by the silver point vacuum suction cup 41, the plum blossom electrode 52 is pressed down, and the contact clamping device 54 is released at the same time, and discharge welding is performed to realize the welding of the contact silver point. The welded product is automatically judged by the second CCD visual inspection device 51 to determine whether the product is qualified or not, and the finished product clamping claw 44 of the silver point picking robot 42 is clamped and unloaded, and the material is discharged at a fixed point. The qualified products determined by the second CCD visual inspection device 51 are clamped to the qualified finished product unloading guide 55, and the unqualified products determined by the second CCD visual inspection device 51 are clamped to the unqualified product unloading guide 56; in this way, the fully automatic welding machine for frame contact silver points of the present application effectively improves the production efficiency of frame contact silver point welding.
