Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic connector assembly equipment technology, and in particular to a vertical automatic disassembly device for Type-C products. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of industry in recent years, enterprises are gradually shifting from manual operation to automated or semi-automated equipment in their production processes. This is especially true in the production of electronic products, where automated equipment is quite common.

[0003] Type-C products are a common type of electronic product. After mass production, Type-C products need to be individually installed onto a carrier tape. Since these mass-produced Type-C products are connected together by the tape, an automated detaching device is required to remove each Type-C product from the tape individually to complete the subsequent installation. Current automated detaching devices primarily use a cutting blade to separate the Type-C products from the tape one by one.

[0004] When the automatic folding equipment uses the cutting edge to cut Type-C products on the material strip one by one, the cutting edge is prone to wear because it needs to continuously perform the cutting action. When the worn cutting edge continues to perform the cutting operation, it may not be able to separate the Type-C products from the material strip smoothly, thus affecting the automatic folding equipment's folding operation of Type-C products. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to make the automatic folding equipment less susceptible to interference with the folding operation of Type-C products, this application provides a vertical automatic folding equipment for Type-C products.

[0006] The vertical automatic Type-C product bending device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] A vertical automatic Type-C product folding device includes a worktable. The worktable is equipped with a winding mechanism for conveying a material strip, a folding mechanism, a feeding mechanism for conveying a carrier belt, and a transfer mechanism for moving Type-C products from the folding mechanism to the feeding mechanism. The folding mechanism includes a frame, a drive component mounted on the frame, and a feeding rack rotatably mounted on the frame. The material strip is placed on the feeding rack, and the drive component drives the feeding rack to rotate. The transfer mechanism includes a drive assembly and a clamping component connected to the drive assembly. The drive assembly drives the clamping component away from the folding mechanism, and the clamping component is positioned above the feeding rack.

[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, the material strip containing Type-C products is first conveyed to the unloading rack of the folding mechanism via the take-up mechanism. Then, the clamping components are controlled to clamp and fix the Type-C products on the unloading rack. At this time, the drive unit is activated to rotate the unloading rack. The oscillation of the material strip and the remaining Type-C products causes the clamped Type-C products to separate from the material strip. Subsequently, the drive assembly is controlled to transfer the clamping components and the separated Type-C products to the feeding mechanism and onto the carrier belt. Compared to separating Type-C products using a cutting edge, this method effectively avoids the use of a cutting edge, thus preventing the problem of easy wear on the cutting edge and making the folding operation of the automatic folding equipment less susceptible to interference with the folding of Type-C products.

[0009] In one specific implementation, the feeding rack is connected to a fixed frame, and the fixed frame is provided with a first clamp, a second clamp, and a fixing cylinder. The second clamp is slidably disposed on the fixed frame, the first clamp and the second clamp are disposed on both sides of the material strip, and the second clamp is connected to the piston rod of the fixing cylinder.

[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, before the clamping device needs to clamp and fix the Type-C product on the feeding rack, the fixing cylinder is activated first, so that the piston rod of the fixing cylinder drives the second clamp to move on the fixing frame until the second clamp and the first clamp clamp the material strip, thereby ensuring the stability of the material strip in the subsequent swinging process of following the feeding rack to a certain extent.

[0011] In one specific implementation, the fixing frame is provided with a first photoelectric sensor and a second photoelectric sensor. The first photoelectric sensor is located on the side of the first clamp away from the material strip, and the second photoelectric sensor is located on the side of the second clamp away from the material strip.

[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, based on the setting of the first photoelectric sensor and the second photoelectric sensor on both sides of the material strip, it is convenient to assist in realizing that when a Type-C product is detected between the two, the fixing cylinder can directly control the second clamp to clamp the material strip, thereby improving the accuracy of the automatic folding equipment when folding Type-C products.

[0013] In one specific implementation, the drive assembly includes a transfer frame, on which a transfer motor, a transfer plate, and a connecting plate are provided. An arc-shaped groove is formed on the side of the transfer frame near the clamping member. The transfer plate is slidably disposed in the arc-shaped groove, and the clamping member is disposed on the transfer plate. The transfer motor is disposed on the side of the transfer frame away from the clamping member. The output end of the transfer motor is connected to the connecting plate, and the connecting plate is connected to the transfer plate.

[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, after the transfer motor is started, the output end of the transfer motor drives the connecting plate to rotate. At the same time, the connecting plate drives the transfer plate to slide within the arc-shaped groove, thereby realizing the operation of moving the clamped part away from the folding mechanism. This driving method is simple and fast, and can effectively improve the transfer efficiency of Type-C products.

[0015] In one specific implementation, the transfer frame is provided with a slide rail and a mounting plate on the side near the folding mechanism. The slide rail is horizontally arranged, the mounting plate is slidably mounted on the slide rail, and the transfer plate is located on the side of the mounting plate away from the slide rail, and the transfer plate can slide on the mounting plate.

[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the mounting plate is slidably set on the slide rail, and the transfer plate can slide on the mounting plate. When the transfer motor is started, the connecting plate drives the transfer plate to slide. The slide rail restricts the displacement direction of the mounting plate and the transfer plate, which makes the movement of the transfer plate more stable.

[0017] In one specific implementation, the transfer mechanism further includes a suction member, which is arranged side by side with the clamping member on the side of the transfer plate near the folding mechanism; the transfer frame is provided with a dwelling station, which is located directly below the suction member when the clamping member clamps the Type-C product, and directly below the clamping member when the clamping member moves, at which time the suction member is located above the feeding mechanism.

[0018] By adopting the above technical solution and adding a retention station, after the clamping component clamps the Type-C product separated from the material strip, it will first place the Type-C product on the retention station. Then, the suction component will pick up the Type-C product and transport it to the feeding mechanism. This setting can effectively speed up the transfer efficiency of Type-C products.

[0019] In one specific implementation, the feeding mechanism includes a platform on the workbench, a feeding rack through which the carrier belt passes, a transmission component for driving the carrier belt to move, and a positioning component for detecting Type-C products. The feeding rack, the transmission component, and the positioning component are all located on the platform. The carrier belt is provided with a rack for loading Type-C products, and the feeding rack has a through slot for the Type-C products to pass through. The positioning component is located on one side of the through slot.

[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the transfer mechanism conveys the Type-C product separated from the conveyor belt from the through slot to the feed rack, the positioning component first detects whether a Type-C product is present. If a Type-C product is detected, the transmission component stops driving the carrier belt to move, and then the transfer mechanism installs the Type-C product into the carrier belt's frame. The detection effect achieved by the positioning component can realize the most accurate installation between the Type-C product and the carrier belt.

[0021] In one specific implementation scheme, the transmission assembly includes a transmission motor and a transmission gear, both of which are located on one side of the feeding frame on the platform. The transmission gear is connected to the output end of the transmission motor, and the outer ring of the transmission gear has a ring of teeth. The carrier belt has several through holes that are adapted to the teeth, and the several through holes are evenly distributed along the length of the carrier belt. The feeding frame has a square groove for the transmission gear to extend into.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, after the drive motor is started, the output end of the drive motor drives the drive gear to rotate. A part of the drive gear extends into the feed frame and interacts with the through hole on the carrier belt, thereby realizing the operation of the teeth driving the carrier belt to move. This structure is simple to set up and easy to implement.

[0023] In one specific implementation, the positioning component includes an optical fiber sensor for detecting Type-C products, a positioning cylinder, and a positioning block. The positioning block and the positioning cylinder are located on the side of the feeder away from the transfer mechanism, and the positioning block is connected to the piston rod of the positioning cylinder. The optical fiber sensor is located on the side of the feeder closer to the transfer mechanism.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution, after the fiber optic sensor detects the Type-C product, it activates the positioning cylinder. The piston rod of the positioning cylinder drives the positioning block to fix the carrier frame of the carrier tape. Then, the transfer mechanism installs the Type-C product in the carrier frame of the carrier tape, thereby improving the stability of the Type-C product during installation.

[0025] In one specific implementation, a bending assembly is provided on one side of the feeding rack on the platform. The bending assembly includes a bending rod and a bending electric cylinder. The bending rod is connected to the bending electric cylinder. A bending hole is provided on the feeding rack for the bending rod to pass through. A bending part is provided on the platform. After bending, the bending part can meet the Type-C product.

[0026] By adopting the above technical solution, the transfer mechanism is prone to loosening after installing the Type-C product on the carrier belt. By controlling the bending electric cylinder, the bending rod is inserted into the bending hole and bends the bending part, so that the bending part can abut against the Type-C product, thereby strengthening the connection between the Type-C product and the carrier, making it less likely to loosen and detach from the carrier.

[0027] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0028] 1. First, the rewinding mechanism feeds the strip containing Type-C products onto the unloading rack of the folding mechanism. Then, the clamping mechanism holds and secures the Type-C products on the unloading rack. At this point, the drive unit rotates the unloading rack, and the oscillating motion of the strip and remaining Type-C products separates the clamped Type-C products from the strip. Finally, the drive unit transfers the clamping mechanism and the separated Type-C products to the feeding mechanism and onto the carrier belt. Compared to using a cutting edge to separate Type-C products, this method effectively avoids the use of a cutting edge, thus preventing wear and tear on the cutting edge and ensuring that the folding operation of the automatic folding equipment is less affected.

[0029] 2. Based on the setting of the first photoelectric sensor and the second photoelectric sensor on both sides of the material strip, it is convenient to assist in realizing that when a Type-C product is detected between the two, the fixing cylinder can directly control the second clamp to clamp the material strip, thereby improving the accuracy of the automatic folding equipment when folding Type-C products;

[0030] 3. When the transfer mechanism conveys the Type-C product separated from the conveyor belt from the through slot to the feed rack, the positioning component first detects whether a Type-C product is present. If a Type-C product is detected, the transmission component stops driving the carrier belt to move, and then the transfer mechanism installs the Type-C product into the carrier belt's frame. The detection effect achieved by the positioning component enables precise installation of the Type-C product onto the carrier belt. Attached Figure Description

[0041] The present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0042] This application discloses a vertical automatic Type-C product bending device. (Refer to...) Figure 1 The vertical Type-C product automatic folding equipment includes a workbench 1. The top surface of the workbench 1 is provided with a winding mechanism 9, a folding mechanism 2, a feeding mechanism 3 and a transfer mechanism 4. The winding mechanism 9 is located on one side of the folding mechanism 2, and the transfer mechanism 4 is located between the folding mechanism 2 and the feeding mechanism 3.

[0043] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The take-up mechanism 9 is used to convey the material belt 11. The take-up mechanism 9 has a common reel structure. It conveys the material belt 11 to the folding mechanism 2. After the folding mechanism 2 folds the Type-C products on the material belt 11, the take-up mechanism 9 retracts the material belt 11. Combined with... Figure 3 and Figure 4 The folding mechanism 2 includes a frame 21, a drive component 22 mounted on the frame 21, and a feeding frame 23 rotatably mounted on the frame 21. The material strip 11 is mounted on the feeding frame 23 and can move on the feeding frame 23 under the action of the winding mechanism 9. The drive component 22 is connected to the feeding frame 23 and is used to drive the feeding frame 23 to rotate. In this embodiment, the drive component 22 is a cylinder. A fixing frame 24 is connected to the middle part of the feeding frame 23. The fixing frame 24 is provided with a first clamp 25, a second clamp 26, and a fixing cylinder 27. The first clamp 25 is in contact with the material strip 11, and the second clamp 26 is slidably mounted on the fixing frame 24. The first clamp 25 and the second clamp 26 are located on both sides of the material strip 11, and the second clamp 26 is connected to the piston rod of the fixing cylinder 27. A first photoelectric sensor 28 and a second photoelectric sensor 29 are symmetrically arranged on the fixing frame 24. The first photoelectric sensor 28 is located on the side of the first clamp 25 away from the material belt 11, and the second photoelectric sensor 29 is located on the side of the second clamp 26 away from the material belt 11. The transfer mechanism 4 is used to transport the Type-C product from the folding mechanism 2 to the feeding mechanism 3. The transfer mechanism 4 includes a drive assembly 43 and a clamping member 41 connected to the drive assembly 43. In this embodiment, the clamping member 41 is a gripper cylinder. The drive assembly 43 is used to drive the clamping member 41 away from the folding mechanism 2. When the clamping member 41 is close to the folding mechanism 2, the clamping member 41 is located directly above the feeding rack 23.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 When performing a folding operation on Type-C products, the material strip 11 containing the Type-C products is first conveyed to the unloading rack 23 by the rewinding mechanism 9. Combined with... Figure 3 and Figure 4The first photoelectric sensor 28 and the second photoelectric sensor 29, located on both sides of the conveyor belt 11, detect the Type-C products. When a Type-C product is detected, the fixing cylinder 27 is activated. The piston rod of the fixing cylinder 27 drives the second clamp 26 to move on the fixing frame 24 until the second clamp 26 and the first clamp 25 clamp the conveyor belt 11. Then, the clamping component 41 is controlled to clamp and fix the Type-C products on the feeding rack 23. At this time, the drive component 22 is activated to drive the feeding rack 23 to rotate. By swinging the conveyor belt 11 and the remaining Type-C products, the clamped Type-C products are separated from the conveyor belt 11. Then, the drive component 43 is controlled to transfer the clamping component 41 and the separated Type-C products to the feeding mechanism 3. Compared with the method of separating Type-C products by cutting with a blade, this method effectively avoids the use of a blade, so there is no problem of blade wear, and the automatic folding equipment is less affected in the folding operation of Type-C products. In addition, the operation of swinging the material strip while fixing the product can also effectively solve the problem of the material strip flying around after cutting with a blade.

[0045] Reference Figure 5 The drive assembly 43 includes a transfer frame 431, on which a transfer motor 432, a transfer plate 433, and a connecting plate 434 are mounted. An arc-shaped groove 435 is formed on the side of the transfer frame 431 near the clamping member 41. The transfer plate 433 is slidably disposed within the arc-shaped groove 435, and the clamping member 41 is disposed on the transfer plate 433. The transfer motor 432 is mounted on the side of the transfer frame 431 away from the clamping member 41. The output end of the transfer motor 432 passes through the transfer frame 431 and is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 434. The connecting plate 434 is connected to the transfer plate 433. A slide rail 436 and a mounting plate 437 are mounted on the side of the transfer frame 431 near the clamping member 41. The slide rail 436 is horizontally positioned, and the mounting plate 437 is slidably disposed on the slide rail 436. The transfer plate 433 is slidably disposed on the side of the mounting plate 437 away from the slide rail 436. Figure 2The transfer plate 433 is also equipped with a suction member 42. In this embodiment, the suction member 42 is an electric suction cup. The suction member 42 and the clamping member 41 are arranged side by side on the side of the transfer plate 433 near the folding mechanism 2. The transfer frame 431 is provided with a holding station 438. The top surface of the holding station 438 is provided with a placement groove 439 adapted to the Type-C product. When the clamping member 41 clamps the Type-C product, the holding station 438 is directly below the suction member 42. When the clamping member 41 moves, the holding station 438 is directly below the clamping member 41. At this time, the suction member 42 is directly above the feeding mechanism 3. After the transfer motor 432 is started, the output end of the transfer motor 432 drives the connecting plate 434 to rotate. At the same time, the connecting plate 434 drives the transfer plate 433 to slide in the arc groove 435, thereby realizing the operation of moving the clamping member 41 away from the folding mechanism 2. The use of slide rail 436 to restrict the displacement direction of mounting plate 437 and transfer plate 433 makes the movement of transfer plate 433 more stable. By adding a dwell station 438, after clamping member 41 clamps the Type-C product separated from material belt 11, it first places the Type-C product in the placement slot 439 of dwell station 438, and then suction member 42 picks up the Type-C product and transports it to feeding mechanism 3. This setting can effectively speed up the transfer efficiency of Type-C products.

[0046] Reference Figure 6 The feeding mechanism 3 includes a platform 31 mounted on the top surface of the workbench 1, a feeding rack 32 through which a carrier belt 8 passes, a transmission assembly 6 for driving the carrier belt 8 to move within the feeding rack 32, and a positioning assembly 5 for detecting Type-C products. The feeding rack 32, the transmission assembly 6, and the positioning assembly 5 are all located on the top surface of the platform 31. Figure 7 The bottom end of the carrier belt 8 is provided with a carrier frame 81 for loading Type-C products. Several through holes 83 are evenly distributed along the length of the carrier belt 8. The transmission assembly 6 includes a transmission motor 61 and a transmission gear 62. Both the transmission motor 61 and the transmission gear 62 are located on one side of the feeding rack 32 on the platform 31. The transmission gear 62 is connected to the output end of the transmission motor 61. The outer ring of the transmission gear 62 has a ring of teeth 621, which are adapted to the through holes 83. A square slot is provided on the side of the feeding rack 32 near the transmission motor 61 for the transmission gear 62 to extend into. After the transmission gear 62 extends into the feeding rack 32, the teeth 621 are connected to the through holes 83. After the transmission motor 61 is started, the output end of the transmission motor 61 drives the transmission gear 62 to rotate. A portion of the transmission gear 62 extends into the feeding rack 32 and interacts with the through holes 83 on the carrier belt 8, thereby realizing the operation of the teeth 621 driving the carrier belt 8 to move.

[0047] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 8The feeding rack 32 has a through slot 321 for Type-C products to pass through, and the positioning component 5 is located in the through slot 321. The positioning component 5 includes a fiber optic sensor 51 for detecting Type-C products, a positioning cylinder 52, a guide block 54, and a positioning block 53, combined with... Figure 2 The fiber optic sensor 51, positioning cylinder 52, guide block 54, and positioning block 53 are all located on the top surface of the platform 31. The positioning block 53, guide block 54, and positioning cylinder 52 are located on the side of the feeding rack 32 away from the transfer mechanism 4, while the fiber optic sensor 51 is located on the side of the feeding rack 32 closer to the transfer mechanism 4. The positioning block 53 is connected to the piston rod of the positioning cylinder 52. A sliding groove is provided on the positioning block 53, and the end of the positioning block 53 away from the positioning cylinder 52 is slidably positioned within the sliding groove. Figure 7 The end of the positioning block 53 furthest from the positioning cylinder 52 corresponds to the structure of the carrier frame 81. When the transfer mechanism 4 delivers the Type-C product from the through slot 321 to the feeding rack 32, the fiber optic sensor 51 can detect the presence of the Type-C product in real time. Subsequently, the positioning cylinder 52 is activated, and the piston rod of the positioning cylinder 52 drives the positioning block 53 to fix the carrier frame 81, which is located at the through slot 321, in place. Then, the transfer mechanism 4 installs the Type-C product into the carrier frame 81 of the carrier belt 8. Using the positioning block 53 to position the carrier can improve the stability of the Type-C product during installation to a certain extent.

[0048] Reference Figure 6 The platform 31 is also equipped with a bending assembly 7 on one side of the feeding rack 32, combined with... Figure 9 The bending assembly 7 includes a bending rod 71 and a bending cylinder 72. The bending rod 71 is connected to the bending cylinder 72, which drives the bending rod 71 to move along its length. A bending hole 323 is provided on the side of the feed rack 32 near the bending cylinder 72 for the bending rod 71 to pass through. Figure 7 The carrier 81 is provided with a bending part 82, which, after being bent, can abut against the top surface of the Type-C product. After the transfer mechanism 4 installs the Type-C product on the carrier 81 of the carrier belt 8, the Type-C product is prone to loosening within the carrier 81. By controlling the bending electric cylinder 72, the bending rod 71 is inserted through the bending hole 323 and bends the bending part 82, so that the bending part 82 can abut against the top surface of the Type-C product, thereby strengthening the connection between the Type-C product and the carrier 81, making it less likely to loosen and detach from the carrier 81.

[0049] The implementation principle of the vertical automatic Type-C product folding device in this application embodiment is as follows: When folding Type-C products, the material strip 11 containing Type-C products is first conveyed to the unloading rack 23 by the winding mechanism 9. The Type-C products are detected by the first photoelectric sensor 28 and the second photoelectric sensor 29 set on both sides of the material strip 11. When the presence of Type-C products is detected, the fixing cylinder 27 is activated. The piston rod of the fixing cylinder 27 drives the second clamp 26 to move on the fixing frame 24 until the second clamp 26 and the first clamp 25 clamp the material strip 11. Then, the clamping member 41 is controlled to clamp and fix the Type-C products on the unloading rack 23. At this time, the drive member 22 is activated to drive the unloading rack 23 to rotate. By swinging the material strip 11 and the remaining Type-C products, the clamped Type-C products are separated from the material strip 11. Then, the drive assembly 43 is controlled to transfer the clamping member 41 and the separated Type-C products to the feeding mechanism 3. After being transported to the feeding mechanism 3, the Type-C product is first sensed by the fiber optic sensor 51, and the positioning block 53 is used to position the carrier 81. After being installed on the carrier 81, the bending part 82 is bent by the bending rod 71, making it less likely for the Type-C product to loosen. Compared with the method of separating Type-C products by cutting with a blade, this method effectively avoids the use of a blade, thus avoiding the problem of blade wear and making the automatic bending operation of Type-C products less affected.

[0050] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
