Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of electronic component assembly and processing technology, and in particular to an automatic insertion device. Background Technology

[0002] An insertion machine is a machine that automatically installs electronic components onto printed circuit boards according to a program. In the traditional electronics assembly industry, workers mainly rely on inserting electronic components onto circuit boards. Since machines began mass production, the shortcomings of manual insertion, such as slow speed, low production efficiency, high production cost, and poor process, have been exposed. Using an insertion machine to automatically install electronic components onto circuit boards can save labor costs and improve the insertion process.

[0003] Most existing component insertion machines are semi-automatic with a low degree of automation. Current machines can only insert one type of electronic component onto each printed circuit board. For multiple different types of electronic components, multiple insertion machines need to be set up in an assembly line to insert them sequentially. This is relatively complex and inefficient. Furthermore, the insertion mechanism and bending mechanism of the insertion machine need to be precisely aligned. However, the insertion mechanism of existing machines needs to move back and forth or intermittently during high-speed operation. Due to unreasonable machine structure design, the insertion machine is prone to displacement after multiple movements, resulting in inaccurate alignment between the insertion mechanism and the bending mechanism, which in turn reduces processing accuracy. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic insertion device that has low production cost, simple structure, high degree of automation, high production efficiency and can guarantee production and processing accuracy.

[0007] Preferably, the substrate conveying mechanism includes a substrate feeding conveying assembly and a semi-finished product discharging conveying assembly. A material handling connection space for the board picking moving mechanism to enter is provided between the substrate feeding conveying assembly and the semi-finished product discharging conveying assembly. The substrate feeding conveying assembly and the semi-finished product discharging conveying assembly have the same structure and both include a first support frame and a first cylinder. The bottom of the first support frame is connected to the output end of the first cylinder. A material pushing mechanism is provided on one side of the material handling connection space for pushing the substrate from the substrate feeding conveying assembly to the board picking moving mechanism and pushing the semi-finished product from the board picking moving mechanism to the semi-finished product discharging conveying assembly.

[0009] Preferably, the plate-removing and moving mechanism includes a second support frame, an X-axis moving platform, and a Y-axis moving platform. The X-axis moving platform is connected to the bottom of the second support frame and is used to drive the second support frame to move horizontally in the X-axis direction. The Y-axis moving platform is connected to the bottom of the X-axis moving platform and is used to drive the X-axis moving platform and the second support frame to move horizontally in the Y-axis direction.

[0010] Preferably, the linear feeding assembly includes a linear feeding belt and a limiting plate, wherein the limiting plate is provided with an electronic component movement guide groove and is positioned above the linear feeding belt.

[0011] Preferably, the rotary feeding assembly includes a rotary belt, a drive wheel, and a driven wheel. The drive wheel is located at one inner end of the rotary belt and is connected to a third motor at its top. The driven wheel is located at the other inner end of the rotary belt and is connected to a driven shaft at its top. The card holder plate is provided with an electronic component slot and is fixed to the outer side of the rotary belt. The top surface of the card holder plate is flush with the top surface of the limiting plate.

[0012] Preferably, the picking mechanism includes a fourth motor, a second cylinder, and a first gripper. The output end of the second cylinder is connected to the first gripper, and its other end is vertically connected to the bottom output end of the fourth motor.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0017] This automated insertion device automatically feeds electronic components through an electronic component feeding mechanism and automatically feeds substrates through a substrate conveying mechanism, improving the degree of automation. A linear feeding assembly sequentially transports multiple electronic components to a rotary feeding assembly, eliminating the need for assembly line processing. This simple structure results in high production efficiency. A component-picking mechanism then sequentially picks up and places multiple electronic components from the tray onto the insertion mechanism. A substrate-moving mechanism moves the substrate, aligning the substrate's insertion holes with the electronic component's insertion pins. The insertion mechanism then inserts the electronic components onto the substrate, while a bending mechanism bends the electronic component's insertion pins. The insertion and bending mechanisms maintain precise alignment, improving processing accuracy. Automated insertion significantly reduces production costs. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] Please see Figures 1-2The present invention provides a technical solution: an automatic insertion device, including an insertion mechanism 1, an electronic component feeding mechanism 2, and a substrate conveying mechanism 3. A board picking and moving mechanism 4 is provided on one side of the substrate conveying mechanism 3. The insertion mechanism 1 is located above the board picking and moving mechanism 4. A bent leg mechanism 5 corresponding to the insertion mechanism 1 is located below the board picking and moving mechanism 4. The electronic component feeding mechanism 2 includes a rotary feeding assembly 201 and a linear feeding assembly 202 located on one side of the rotary feeding assembly 201. Several linear feeding assemblies 202 are evenly arranged. Several card trays 203 are evenly arranged on the outer side of the rotary feeding assembly 201. A picking mechanism 6 is provided on one side of the insertion mechanism 1 to pick up and place electronic components on the card trays 203 onto the insertion mechanism 1.

[0031] Electronic components are automatically fed by the electronic component feeding mechanism 2, and substrates are automatically fed by the substrate conveying mechanism 3, improving the level of automation. The linear feeding assembly 202 can sequentially convey various electronic components to the rotary feeding assembly 201, eliminating the need for assembly line processing. The structure is simple and the production efficiency is high. Then, the picking mechanism 6 picks up various electronic components from the card tray 203 and places them sequentially onto the insertion mechanism 1. The board picking and moving mechanism 4 drives the substrate to move, so that the insertion holes of the substrate are aligned with the insertion pins of the electronic components. Then, the insertion mechanism 1 inserts the electronic components onto the substrate. At the same time, the bending mechanism 5 bends the insertion pins of the electronic components. The insertion mechanism 1 and the bending mechanism 5 maintain precise alignment, improving processing accuracy. The use of automated insertion greatly reduces production costs.

[0032] Please see Figure 5 To facilitate substrate transport, in this embodiment, preferably, the substrate transport mechanism 3 includes a substrate feeding transport assembly 301 and a semi-finished product discharge transport assembly 302. A material handling connection space 303 for the board picking and moving mechanism 4 to enter is provided between the substrate feeding transport assembly 301 and the semi-finished product discharge transport assembly 302. The substrate feeding transport assembly 301 and the semi-finished product discharge transport assembly 302 have the same structure and both include a first support frame 3011 and a first cylinder 3012. The bottom of the first support frame 3011 is connected to the output end of the first cylinder 3012. A pushing mechanism 7 is provided on one side of the material handling connection space 303 for pushing the substrate from the substrate feeding transport assembly 301 to the board picking and moving mechanism 4 and pushing the semi-finished product from the board picking and moving mechanism 4 to the semi-finished product discharge transport assembly 302.

[0033] The purpose is to allow the board picking and moving mechanism 4 to enter through the material picking and connecting space 303, drive the first support frame 3011 to descend through the first cylinder 3012, and then make the two ends of the board picking and moving mechanism 4 connect with the substrate feeding and conveying assembly 301 and the semi-finished product discharge and conveying assembly 302 respectively. The pusher mechanism 7 pushes the substrate from the substrate feeding and conveying assembly 301 to the board picking and moving mechanism 4 and simultaneously pushes the semi-finished product from the board picking and moving mechanism 4 to the semi-finished product discharge and conveying assembly 302.

[0034] Please see Figure 8 In order to facilitate the feeding of the substrate and the discharge of the semi-finished product after the insertion process, in this embodiment, preferably, the pushing mechanism 7 includes a connecting rod 701, a flipping arm 702 and a screw 703. One end of the screw 703 is connected to a first motor 704, and the middle part is connected to a slider 705 by a thread. A second motor 706 is connected to the slider 705. The output end of the second motor 706 is connected to the flipping arm 702. The flipping arm 702 is rotatably connected to the slider 705, and the end of the flipping arm away from the slider 705 is connected to the middle part of the connecting rod 701. One end of the connecting rod 701 is connected to a first push plate 707 that pushes the substrate from the substrate feeding conveying assembly 301 to the board picking moving mechanism 4, and the other end of the connecting rod is connected to a second push plate 708 that pushes the semi-finished product from the board picking moving mechanism 4 to the semi-finished product discharge conveying assembly 302.

[0035] The purpose is to drive the tilting arm 702 downwards and swing it down via the second motor 706, so that the first push plate 707 abuts against the rear side of the substrate, and at the same time, the second push plate 708 abuts against the rear side of the semi-finished product. The first motor 704 drives the screw 703 to rotate, so that the screw 703 drives the slider 705 to move horizontally forward. Then, the first push plate 707 pushes the substrate from the substrate feeding conveyor assembly 301 to the board picking moving mechanism 4, and at the same time, the second push plate 708 pushes the semi-finished product from the board picking moving mechanism 4 to the semi-finished product discharge conveyor assembly 302.

[0036] Please see Figure 6 In order to facilitate the movement of the substrate and the insertion of electronic components into the multiple insertion holes on the substrate, in this embodiment, preferably, the board moving mechanism 4 includes a second support frame 401, an X-axis moving platform 402 and a Y-axis moving platform 403. The X-axis moving platform 402 is connected to the bottom of the second support frame 401 and is used to drive the second support frame 401 to move horizontally in the X-axis direction. The Y-axis moving platform 403 is connected to the bottom of the X-axis moving platform 402 and is used to drive the X-axis moving platform 402 and the second support frame 401 to move horizontally in the Y-axis direction.

[0037] The purpose is to drive the X-axis moving platform 402 and the second support frame 401 to move horizontally in the Y-axis direction through the Y-axis moving platform 403, and drive the second support frame 401 to move horizontally in the X-axis direction through the X-axis moving platform 402, thereby driving the substrate on the second support frame 401 to move horizontally in the Y-axis and X-axis directions, so as to insert electronic components into multiple insertion holes on the substrate.

[0038] Please see Figure 3 In order to facilitate the insertion of various electronic components on the substrate, in this embodiment, preferably, the linear feeding assembly 202 includes a linear feeding belt 2021 and a limiting plate 2022. The limiting plate 2022 is provided with an electronic component moving guide groove 2023 and is disposed above the linear feeding belt 2021.

[0039] The purpose is to allow the pins of the electronic components to pass through the electronic component moving guide groove 2023 and abut against the linear feed belt 2021. The linear feed belt 2021 drives the electronic components to move, and the limiting plate 2022 limits the two sides of the electronic component pins to prevent the electronic components from shifting. This allows the electronic components to be accurately conveyed and moved along the moving guide groove 2023. In turn, multiple linear feed assemblies 202 can sequentially convey various electronic components to the rotary feed assembly 201.

[0040] Please see Figure 9 In order to facilitate the sequential feeding of various electronic components, in this embodiment, preferably, the rotary feeding assembly 201 includes a rotary belt 2011, a drive wheel 2012 and a driven wheel 2013. The drive wheel 2012 is located at one end of the inner side of the rotary belt 2011 and is connected to a third motor 2014 at its top. The driven wheel 2013 is located at the other end of the inner side of the rotary belt 2011 and is connected to a driven shaft 2015 at its top. The card holder plate 203 is provided with an electronic component card slot 204 and is fixed to the outer side of the rotary belt 2011. The top surface of the card holder plate 203 is flush with the top surface of the limiting plate 2022.

[0041] The purpose is to move electronic components from the linear feeding assembly 202 into the electronic component card slot 204, and then place them on the card tray 203. The third motor 2014 drives the drive wheel 2012 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotary belt 2011 to rotate, thereby feeding various electronic components on multiple card trays 203 in sequence.

[0042] Please see Figure 10In order to facilitate the sequential picking of various electronic components on multiple card trays 203, in this embodiment, preferably, the picking mechanism 6 includes a fourth motor 601, a second cylinder 602 and a first gripper 603. The output end of the second cylinder 602 is connected to the first gripper 603, and its other end is perpendicularly connected to the bottom output end of the fourth motor 601.

[0043] The purpose is to drive the second cylinder 602 to swing horizontally via the fourth motor 601, so that the output end of the second cylinder 602 faces the material handling station. Then, the second cylinder 602 drives the first gripper 603 to extend, and then the first gripper 603 clamps the electronic component on the card tray 203. Then, the second cylinder 602 drives the first gripper 603 to retract, and removes the electronic component from the electronic component slot 204. Then, the fourth motor 601 drives the second cylinder 602 to swing horizontally back, so that the output end of the second cylinder 602 faces the insertion station. Then, the second cylinder 602 drives the first gripper 603 to extend, and finally, the insertion mechanism 1 clamps the electronic component on the picking mechanism 6. At the same time, the first gripper 603 releases the electronic component. Then, the second cylinder 602 drives the first gripper 603 to retract, completing one picking of electronic components. Repeating the above actions can sequentially pick up various electronic components from multiple card trays 203.

[0044] Please see Figure 10 In order to facilitate the adjustment of the insertion state of electronic components, in this embodiment, preferably, the insertion mechanism 1 includes a second gripper 101, a fifth motor 102 and a third cylinder 103. The bottom output end of the third cylinder 103 is connected to the fifth motor 102, and the bottom output end of the fifth motor 102 is connected to the second gripper 101.

[0045] The purpose is to use the second gripper 101 to grip the electronic components on the picking mechanism 6, and then use the fifth motor 102 to drive the second gripper 101 to rotate at a certain angle, thereby adjusting the insertion state of the electronic components according to the actual position of the substrate insertion hole. Finally, the third cylinder 103 drives the fifth motor 102 and the second gripper 101 to descend, thereby inserting the electronic components on the second gripper 101 into the insertion hole of the substrate.

[0046] Please see Figure 10 In order to improve the neatness of the bent feet and ensure that the insertion mechanism 1 and the bent foot mechanism 5 are accurately aligned and improve the processing accuracy, in this embodiment, preferably, the bent foot mechanism 5 includes a pressure block 501, a sixth motor 502 and a fourth cylinder 503. The top output end of the fourth cylinder 503 is connected to the sixth motor 502, and the top output end of the sixth motor 502 is connected to the pressure block 501. The top surface of the pressure block 501 is inclined.

[0047] The purpose is to drive the sixth motor 502 to rotate the pressure block 501 at a certain angle to adapt to the insertion state of the electronic components. While the second gripper 101 inserts the electronic components into the insertion holes of the substrate, the fourth cylinder 503 drives the sixth motor 502 and the pressure block 501 to rise, so that the pressure block 501 bends the insertion pins of the electronic components. Because the top surface of the pressure block 501 is inclined, the insertion pins of the electronic components can be guided and bent along the inclined surface of the pressure block 501, improving the neatness of the bent pins. The insertion mechanism 1 and the bending mechanism 5 maintain precise alignment, improving the processing accuracy.

[0048] In order to facilitate the removal of the excess part of the plug-in pin length, in this embodiment, preferably, a pin-cutting mechanism 8 is provided on one side of the linear feeding assembly 202. The pin-cutting mechanism 8 includes a fifth cylinder 801 and an electric scissor 802. The output end of the fifth cylinder 801 is connected to the electric scissor 802, and the electric scissor 802 is located below the card holder plate 203.

[0049] The purpose is to drive the electric scissors 802 to extend below the card holder 203 at the cutting station via the fifth cylinder 801, and then drive the electric scissors 802 to cut off the excess parts of the electronic component pins. After cutting, the fifth cylinder 801 drives the electric scissors 802 to retract. When the next card holder 203 moves to the cutting station of the cutting mechanism 8, the above cutting action is repeated to improve the neatness of the pins.

[0050] Please see Figure 4 In order to facilitate the collection of waste from the cut-off parts of electronic component connectors, in this embodiment, preferably, the board moving mechanism 4 includes a waste collection mechanism 9 below the lead cutting mechanism 8. The waste collection mechanism 9 includes a waste conveyor belt 901 and a baffle plate 902. The baffle plate 902 is symmetrically arranged on both sides of the top of the waste conveyor belt 901. One end of the waste conveyor belt 901 is provided with an inclined drop plate 903. A collection box 904 is provided below the inclined drop plate 903.

[0051] The purpose is to allow the cut-off portion of the connector to fall freely onto the waste conveyor belt 901. The baffle plate 902 prevents the waste from deviating to the sides and falling out of the waste conveyor belt 901. Then, the waste is conveyed to the inclined drop plate 903 by the waste conveyor belt 901, so that the waste slides from the inclined drop plate 903 into the collection box 904 for collection.

[0052] To improve the structural stability of the device, in this embodiment, preferably, a frame 10 is also included. The top of the fourth motor 601 and the top of the third motor 2014 are both fixedly connected to the frame 10. The top of the driven shaft 2015 is rotatably connected to the frame 10 through a bearing. A mounting block 11 is connected to one side of the third cylinder 103, and the mounting block 11 is fixedly connected to the frame 10.

[0053] Please see Figure 7 To improve the positioning accuracy of the substrate, in this embodiment, preferably, the first support frame 3011 and the second support frame 401 have the same structure and both include two L-shaped slide rails. The two L-shaped slide rails are symmetrically arranged and each includes a support strip 4011 and a limiting strip 4012 connected to the top of the support strip 4011. The purpose is to support the substrate with the support strip 4011 and limit the two sides of the substrate with the two limiting strips 4012 respectively, so that the substrate can slide and be transported on the support strip 4011 with precise guidance, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the substrate.

[0054] To facilitate the gripping of electronic components, in this embodiment, preferably, the first gripper 603 is disposed on the upper side of the card tray 203 and on the lower side of the second gripper 101. The purpose is to use the first gripper 603 to grip the electronic components on the card tray 203 and grip the middle position of the electronic components, and use the second gripper 101 to grip the electronic components on the first gripper 603 and grip the top position of the electronic components.

[0055] The working principle and usage process of this invention are as follows: The electronic components are moved by the linear feeding belt 2021, and the electronic components are limited on both sides by the limiting plate 2022 to prevent the electronic components from shifting. The electronic components can be accurately conveyed and moved along the moving guide groove 2023. Then, multiple linear feeding assemblies 202 can sequentially convey various electronic components to the rotary feeding assembly 201.

[0056] Electronic components are moved from the linear feeding assembly 202 into the electronic component card slot 204 and then placed on the card tray 203. The third motor 2014 drives the drive wheel 2012 to rotate, which in turn drives the rotary belt 2011 to rotate, thereby feeding multiple electronic components on multiple card trays 203 in sequence.

[0057] The fifth cylinder 801 drives the electric scissors 802 to extend below the card holder 203 at the cutting station, and then drives the electric scissors 802 to cut off the excess part of the electronic component pins. After cutting, the fifth cylinder 801 drives the electric scissors 802 to retract. When the next card holder 203 moves to the cutting station of the cutting mechanism 8, the above cutting action is repeated to improve the neatness of the pins.

[0058] The cut-off portion of the connector will fall freely onto the waste conveyor belt 901. The baffle plate 902 prevents the waste from deviating to the sides and falling out of the waste conveyor belt 901. Then, the waste is conveyed to the inclined drop plate 903 by the waste conveyor belt 901, so that the waste slides from the inclined drop plate 903 into the collection box 904 for collection.

[0059] Simultaneously, the board-picking moving mechanism 4 enters through the material-picking connection space 303, and the first support frame 3011 is driven to descend by the first cylinder 3012, thereby connecting the two ends of the board-picking moving mechanism 4 with the substrate feeding conveying assembly 301 and the semi-finished product discharging conveying assembly 302 respectively. The pushing mechanism 7 pushes the substrate from the substrate feeding conveying assembly 301 onto the board-picking moving mechanism 4, and at the same time pushes the semi-finished product from the board-picking moving mechanism 4 onto the semi-finished product discharging conveying assembly 302. Specifically, this is achieved through the second motor 70. The drive tilting arm 702 tilts downwards and swings, causing the first push plate 707 to abut against the rear side of the substrate, and the second push plate 708 to abut against the rear side of the semi-finished product. The first motor 704 drives the screw 703 to rotate, causing the screw 703 to move the slider 705 horizontally forward. The first push plate 707 pushes the substrate from the substrate feeding conveyor assembly 301 to the board picking moving mechanism 4, and the second push plate 708 pushes the semi-finished product from the board picking moving mechanism 4 to the semi-finished product discharging conveyor assembly 302.

[0060] Then, the first support frame 3011 is driven to rise by the first cylinder 3012, so that the next substrate enters the substrate feeding and conveying assembly 301 and waits for the next processing. The flipping arm 702 is driven to flip and swing upward by the second motor 706 to avoid position during substrate processing. The X-axis moving platform 402 and the second support frame 401 are driven to move horizontally in the Y-axis by the Y-axis moving platform 403. The X-axis moving platform 402 drives the second support frame 401 to move horizontally in the X-axis, thereby driving the substrate on the second support frame 401 to move horizontally in the Y-axis and X-axis, and thus moving the substrate between the insertion mechanism 1 and the bending leg mechanism 5.

[0061] The fourth motor 601 drives the second cylinder 602 to swing horizontally, so that the output end of the second cylinder 602 faces the material handling station. The second cylinder 602 drives the first gripper 603 to extend, and then the first gripper 603 clamps the electronic component on the card tray 203. Then the second cylinder 602 drives the first gripper 603 to retract, and removes the electronic component from the electronic component slot 204. Then the fourth motor 601 drives the second cylinder 602 to swing horizontally back, so that the output end of the second cylinder 602 faces the insertion station. The second cylinder 602 drives the first gripper 603 to extend, and finally the insertion mechanism 1 clamps the electronic component on the picking mechanism 6. At the same time, the first gripper 603 releases the electronic component. Then the second cylinder 602 drives the first gripper 603 to retract, completing one picking of electronic components. Repeating the above actions can sequentially pick up various electronic components on multiple card trays 203.

[0062] The electronic components on the picking mechanism 6 are picked up by the second gripper 101, and then the second gripper 101 is driven to rotate by the fifth motor 102 to a certain angle. The insertion state of the electronic components is then adjusted according to the actual position of the substrate insertion hole. Finally, the third cylinder 103 drives the fifth motor 102 and the second gripper 101 to descend, thereby inserting the electronic components on the second gripper 101 into the insertion hole of the substrate.

[0063] Simultaneously, the sixth motor 502 drives the pressure block 501 to rotate at a certain angle to adapt to the insertion state of the electronic components. While the second gripper 101 inserts the electronic components into the insertion holes of the substrate, the fourth cylinder 503 drives the sixth motor 502 and the pressure block 501 to rise, so that the pressure block 501 bends the insertion pins of the electronic components. Because the top surface of the pressure block 501 is inclined, all the insertion pins of the electronic components can be guided and bent along the inclined surface of the pressure block 501, improving the neatness of the bent pins. The insertion mechanism 1 and the bending mechanism 5 maintain precise alignment, improving the processing accuracy.

[0064] The substrate is moved and the processing position is adjusted by the Y-axis moving platform and the X-axis moving platform 402, and then electronic components are inserted into the multiple insertion holes on the substrate in sequence.

[0065] The semi-finished product with electronic components inserted is moved to the material handling space 303 by the board picking and moving mechanism 4. The first support frame 3011 is driven to descend by the first cylinder 3012, and the flipping arm 702 is driven to flip and swing downward by the second motor 706. Then, the semi-finished product is pushed from the board picking and moving mechanism 4 to the semi-finished product discharge conveying assembly 302 by the second push plate 708. At the same time, the next substrate is pushed from the substrate feeding conveying assembly 301 to the board picking and moving mechanism 4 by the first push plate 707. The use of automated insertion greatly reduces production costs.

Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features.
