Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of component soldering technology, and more specifically, to an automatic wire management device and method for organizing the position of component leads. Background Technology

[0002] Some electronic components have leads, such as vibration motors in mobile phones and other electronic devices. During the manufacturing process of vibration motors, these leads need to be soldered to pads on the circuit board. The leads are typically copper wires, with a diameter roughly the same as a human hair. They need to correspond to pads on the circuit board, which are approximately 5*5 millimeters in size. Because the position of the copper wires is not fixed upon arrival at the circuit board, for example… Figure 1 As shown, various angles and warping may occur, requiring manual adjustment of the copper wire to the corresponding pad using a microscope. The effect is as follows. Figure 2 As shown, welding is then performed, which results in low work efficiency and a high error rate.

[0003] The above shortcomings need to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve or alleviate the problem of low efficiency in component wire management in the prior art, the present invention provides an automatic wire management device and method for organizing the position of component leads.

[0005] The technical solution of this invention is as follows:

[0010] The controller is used to control the feeding, transferring and discharging of the material conveying device, process the data collected by the identification device, and send action commands to the cable management device to perform cable management.

[0011] Furthermore, the material conveying device includes a feeding mechanism, which includes a feeding track and a feeding conveyor belt between the feeding tracks. A feeding drive motor for driving the feeding conveyor belt is provided on the outer side of the feeding track, and a plurality of feeding limiters for controlling the material feeding speed are provided on the top of the feeding track.

[0012] Furthermore, the material conveying device includes:

[0013] The conveying mechanism includes a first reciprocating moving unit, a lifting unit is slidably connected to one side of the first reciprocating moving unit, and a clamping member that engages with the clamp of the component is provided on the top of the first reciprocating moving unit.

[0014] A positioning mechanism includes a positioning cylinder, a positioning pin connected to the piston rod of the positioning cylinder, and a positioning hole provided on the component clamp. The positioning pin is inserted into the positioning hole for positioning the component clamp.

[0015] Furthermore, the material conveying device includes an unloading mechanism, which includes a second reciprocating moving unit. Below the second reciprocating moving unit are a good product conveyor belt and a defective product conveyor belt. The second reciprocating moving unit drives components along with fixtures to be placed into the good product conveyor belt or the defective product conveyor belt.

[0016] Furthermore, the identification device includes a camera located on top of the component and a fill light located on the side of the component.

[0017] Furthermore, the cable management device includes a transfer mechanism, which is a three-axis transfer platform, and the drive end of the transfer mechanism is connected to a pawl.

[0018] Furthermore, a buffer unit for adjusting the contact force between the pawl and the circuit board is provided between the transfer mechanism and the pawl. The buffer unit includes a slide rail vertically arranged on the transfer mechanism, a slider slidably connected on the slide rail, and the pawl mounted on the slider.

[0019] Furthermore, the pawl is equipped with a counterweight device for adjusting the counterweight of the pawl.

[0020] Furthermore, the claw is L-shaped in general, the long side of the claw is connected to the transfer mechanism, the short side of the claw is provided with comb teeth for adjusting the spacing of each lead wire of the vibration motor, and the top of the short side of the claw is provided with a limiting groove for adjusting the height of each lead wire of the vibration motor, the limiting groove being located between each comb tooth.

[0021] An automatic wire management method for arranging the lead positions of components, applied to the aforementioned automatic wire management device for arranging the lead positions of components, includes the following steps:

[0022] S1. The feeding mechanism drives the components and fixtures to feed, and the feeding limit component controls the feeding speed.

[0023] S2. Read the component serial number. If the serial number is normal, proceed to S3. If the serial number is abnormal, mark it as an NG product.

[0024] S3. The conveying mechanism moves the components and fixtures to below the camera, and the positioning mechanism positions the fixtures.

[0025] S4. The identification device photographs the position of the lead wires and pads of the components. If the controller judges that it is normal, it proceeds to S5. If it is abnormal, it is marked as an NG product.

[0026] S5. The controller controls the operation of the cable management device. The transfer mechanism drives the pawl to move and adjust the position of the component's lead wire. The identification device captures the position of the component's lead wire and pad. The controller judges that it is normal.

[0027] S6. The positioning mechanism releases the clamp, and the conveying mechanism moves the component to the end of the feeding track.

[0028] S7. The unloading mechanism moves the sorted products to the good product conveyor belt and moves the products marked NG to the defective product conveyor belt.

[0029] According to the above-described solution, the beneficial effects of this invention are that the automated wire management equipment can process component leads faster and with higher accuracy, thereby significantly improving production efficiency. Compared to manual operation, the automated wire management equipment can complete tasks more quickly, saving time and labor costs, reducing manual operation, and lowering the possibility of human error. The automated wire management equipment can accurately align component leads with solder pads, preventing misalignment or displacement. This helps improve soldering quality and reliability, reducing malfunctions and damage caused by poor lead connections. The automated wire management equipment can be adjusted and adapted to different models and sizes of components. The controller can adjust wire management parameters and action commands according to different working requirements and component specifications, achieving flexible production line layout and adaptable production processes.

[0050] Example 1

[0051] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown in one embodiment of the present invention, an automatic cable management device for organizing the lead positions of components includes a material conveying device 1, an identification device 2, a cable management device 3, and a controller. The controller is a PLC controller. The material conveying device 1 is used to drive the material flow. The identification device 2 is used to collect data on the relative positions of the leads 401 and pads 402 of the components 4 and send it to the controller. The cable management device 3 organizes the relative positions of the leads 401 and pads 402 of the components 4 according to the controller's instructions. The controller is used to control the feeding, transferring, and discharging of the material conveying device 1, process the data collected by the identification device 2, and send action instructions to the cable management device 3 to perform cable management.

[0052] In this embodiment, component 4 is fixed on fixture 5. A drive device moves fixture 5, causing component 4 to enter the equipment and circulate within it, ensuring smooth entry into the cable management device 3 for processing. Machine vision technology or other sensors are used to perform high-precision position identification and data acquisition of the leads 401 and pads 402 of component 4, transmitting the data to the controller for further processing. Image processing technology is used to analyze and process the data collected by the identification device 2. The controller accurately establishes the correspondence between the leads 401 and pads 402 of component 4 and generates corresponding cable management instructions. According to the instructions issued by the controller, the cable management device 3 precisely adjusts the position and direction of the leads 401 of component 4 to align them with the pads 402. After the leads 401 of component 4 are arranged, the material conveying device 1 transports component 4 to the next workstation to maintain production continuity.

[0053] In this embodiment, the automated wire management equipment can process the leads 401 of component 4 with higher speed and accuracy, thereby significantly improving production efficiency. Compared with manual operation, the automated wire management equipment can complete the task faster, saving time and labor costs, reducing manual operation, and lowering the possibility of human error. The automated wire management equipment can accurately align the leads 401 of component 4 with the pads 402, preventing misalignment or displacement. This helps improve soldering quality and reliability, and reduces failures and damage caused by poor connection of leads 401. The automated wire management equipment can be adjusted and adapted to different models and sizes of components 4. The controller can adjust the wire management parameters and action commands according to different working requirements and component 4 specifications, realizing flexible production line layout and adaptive production processes.

[0054] In this embodiment, the material conveying device 1 includes two feeding mechanisms 101. Each feeding mechanism 101 is equipped with a conveying mechanism 115, a positioning mechanism 116, two identification devices 2, and two cable management devices 3, allowing for simultaneous cable management of two components 4. The two cable management devices 3 on each feeding mechanism 101 ensure a high success rate and effective cable management. A discharge mechanism 132 is located between the two feeding mechanisms 101, collecting the components 4 from both feeding mechanisms 101 onto a single discharge mechanism 132 for transport to the next workstation. In practical applications, the number of material conveying devices 1, identification devices 2, and cable management devices 3 can be adjusted according to actual production needs.

[0055] like Figure 13 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the material conveying device 1 includes a feeding mechanism 101, which includes a feeding track 102. The width of the feeding track 102 is slightly larger than the width of the clamp 5 and can be adjusted according to the width of the clamp 5. Two feeding conveyor belts 103 are provided between the feeding tracks 102 to support the bottom sides of the clamp 5 of the component 4. The height difference between the top of the feeding conveyor belt 103 and the top of the feeding track 102 is approximately equal to the thickness of the bottom plate of the clamp 5 of the component 4. This restricts the movement of the clamp 5 within the track, ensuring stable feeding of the component 4 within the track. Furthermore, it allows the component 4 to protrude from the track, facilitating processing of the component 4 on the clamp 5. A feeding drive motor 104 for driving the feeding conveyor belt 103 is provided on the outer side of the feeding track 102. The output shaft of the feeding drive motor 104 is connected to a reducer. The output shaft of the reducer is connected to the shaft of the pulley of the feeding conveyor belt 103 through a coupling.

[0056] like Figure 13 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the feed track 102 is provided with a transition wheel 105 at the feed end. The diameter of the transition wheel 105 is smaller than the diameter of the pulley of the feed conveyor belt 103, and the top of the transition wheel 105 is flush with the top of the feed conveyor belt 103. The width of the transition wheel 105 is equivalent to the width of the feed conveyor belt 103, thereby reducing the gap and drop between the feed conveyor belt 103 and the external conveyor belt, so that the clamp 5 of the component 4 can be smoothly transferred from the external conveyor belt to the feed conveyor belt 103.

[0057] like Figure 13As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the top of the track is provided with multiple feed limiters for controlling the material feeding speed. The feed limiters include a foolproof baffle 106, a first blocking member 107, a second blocking member 108, and a third blocking member 109. The blocking members are controlled by a cylinder. When the piston rod of the cylinder extends, the blocking member is pushed out to block the material feeding. When the piston rod retracts, the blocking member retracts, and the material continues to be fed. The foolproof baffle 106 has a notch, and a foolproof block 501 is provided on one side of the top of the clamp 5. When the clamp 5 is placed upright, the foolproof block 501 can pass smoothly through the notch on the foolproof baffle 106; otherwise, it will be blocked. A first position detection sensor 110 is provided in front of the first foolproof baffle 106. If the clamp 5 is blocked for more than a preset time, an alarm will be triggered, usually through an audible and visual alarm device, commonly a warning light and a buzzer, to remind the operator to place the clamp 5 correctly. After passing through the foolproof block 501, the clamp 5 is blocked by the first blocking member 107, limiting the amount of material fed. When the material is blocked by the first blocking member 107, the first position detection sensor 110 detects that the clamp 5 is stuck, but no alarm will be triggered. The controller will control the upstream station to stop discharging the material. A blocking block 502 is provided on the clamp 5. The third blocking member 109 blocks the clamp 5 from continuing to feed through the blocking block 502. The next clamp 5 is blocked by the second blocking member 108. The second blocking member 108 and the third blocking member 109 are respectively provided with a second position detection sensor 111 and a third position detection sensor. When the second position sensor detects the clamp 5, it controls the first blocking member 107 to block the feeding. When the third position sensor 112 detects the clamp 5, it controls the second blocking member 108 to block the feeding. Only one clamp 5 can be accommodated between the second blocking member 108 and the third blocking member 109, so that the clamps 5 can be fed one by one, allowing the clamps 5 to feed intermittently. A scanner 113 for reading the serial number of the component 4 is also provided on one side of the feed track 102. The scanner 113 is mounted on the frame through a six-degree-of-freedom support 114. The position of the scanner 113 can be freely adjusted by the six-degree-of-freedom support 114, so that the scanner 113 can be aligned with the serial number label of component 4, thereby enabling the serial number to be read quickly, facilitating the recording and tracing of the production process of component 4.

[0058] like Figures 5 to 9 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the material conveying device 1 includes a conveying mechanism 115 and a positioning mechanism 116. The conveying mechanism 115 is disposed at the rear end of the feeding track 102, the identification device 2 and the line sorting device 3 are disposed opposite each other on both sides of the feeding track 102, and the positioning mechanism 116 is disposed below the identification device 2. The conveying mechanism 115 includes a first reciprocating moving unit 117 and a lifting unit 118.

[0059] The first reciprocating moving unit 117 is a ball screw moving pair driven by a servo motor. By controlling the forward and reverse rotation of the servo motor, the slider on the screw of the first reciprocating moving unit 117 is driven to move back and forth. The top of the first reciprocating moving unit 117 is provided with a clamping member 119 that engages with the clamp 5 of the component 4. The clamping member 119 is provided with multiple locking positions 120 that engage with the clamp 5. The clamping member 119 is mounted on a support frame 121 on the slider. The support frame 121 is provided with a vertical waist hole 122. The clamping member 119 extends out a first limiting post 123 that is inserted into the vertical waist hole 122. A bearing is sleeved on the outer side of the first limiting post 123. The outer diameter of the bearing is approximately equal to the width of the waist hole.

[0060] A lifting unit 118 is slidably connected to one side of the first reciprocating moving unit 117. The lifting unit 118 includes a support base 124 connected to the frame. The support base 124 is connected to a fixed plate 125 via a vertical slide rail. The top of the fixed plate 125 is connected to a clamping member 119 via a horizontal slide rail. A movable plate 126 is provided on the side of the fixed plate 125 away from the first reciprocating moving unit 117. An inclined waist hole 127 is provided on the movable plate 126. Horizontal sections are provided at both ends of the inclined waist hole 127 to maintain the height of the fixed plate 125. A second limiting post 128 is provided on the fixed plate 125 and inserted into the inclined waist hole 127. A bearing is also sleeved on the outside of the second limiting post 128. The outer diameter of the bearing is approximately equal to the width of the inclined waist hole 127. The fixed plate 125 and the frame are connected via a horizontal slide rail. The slider on the horizontal slide rail is connected to the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 129.

[0061] During operation, the piston rod of the lifting cylinder 129 extends and retracts, pushing the movable plate 126. The inclined waist hole 127 on the movable plate 126 drives the fixed plate 125 to rise and fall through the second limiting post 128, thereby driving the clamping member 119 to rise and fall. When the clamping member 119 rises, the locking position 120 engages with the clamp 5. Then, the first reciprocating moving unit 117 drives the clamp 5 to feed in the feeding track 102. After feeding to the designated position, the clamping member 119 descends, the locking position 120 separates from the clamp 5, and the first reciprocating moving unit 117 drives the clamping member 119 back. The feeding track 102 extends to the end of the material conveying device 1, and the end of the feeding track 102 is provided with a buffer area for temporarily storing materials.

[0062] like Figure 7 and Figure 9 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the positioning mechanism 116 includes a positioning cylinder 130, a positioning pin 131 is connected to the piston rod of the positioning cylinder 130, and a positioning hole 503 is provided on the clamp 5 of the component 4. The positioning pin 131 is inserted into the positioning hole 503 for positioning the clamp 5 of the component 4.

[0063] During operation, the piston rod of the positioning cylinder 130 extends, and the positioning pin 131 inserts into the positioning hole 503 of the clamp 5. There are two positioning pins, one restricting the movement of the clamp 5 and the other restricting the rotation of the clamp 5. This ensures the stability of the clamp 5 during cable management and guarantees the cable management effect.

[0064] like Figure 15 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the identification device 2 includes a camera 201 located on top of the component 4 and a supplementary light 202 located on the side of the component 4. After the positioning mechanism 116 positions the fixture 5, the camera 201 captures the positions of the leads 401 and the pads 402, and the supplementary light 202 illuminates the captured area to ensure the lighting effect of the captured image, which is convenient for the controller to process. The controller identifies the positions of the pads 402 and the leads 401, calculates the deviation, and sends control commands to the cable management device 3.

[0065] like Figure 10 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the cable management device 3 includes a transfer mechanism, which is a three-axis transfer platform. A pawl 304 is connected to the drive end of the transfer mechanism. The three-axis transfer platform includes an X-axis moving platform 301 at the bottom, a Y-axis moving platform 302 connected to the top of the X-axis moving platform 301, and a Z-axis moving platform 303 connected to the top of the Y-axis moving platform 302, used to drive the pawl 304 to move in the X, Y, and Z axes. The X-axis moving platform 301, Y-axis moving platform 302, and Z-axis moving platform 303 are all ball screw moving pairs driven by servo motors. A buffer unit 305 is provided between the transfer mechanism and the pawl 304 to adjust the contact force between the pawl 304 and the circuit board. The buffer unit 305 includes a slide rail vertically mounted on the transfer mechanism, a slider slidably connected to the slide rail, and the pawl 304 mounted on the slider. During movement, the bottom of the pawl 304 initially contacts the circuit board. As the third movable seat continues to move downwards, the pawl 304 stops moving and pushes the slider to slide on the slider. This buffers the contact between the pawl 304 and the circuit board, reducing the force exerted by the pawl 304 on the circuit board and preventing damage. The circuit board is generally a flexible circuit board with relatively low strength. A counterweight device 306 is provided on the pawl 304 for adjusting its weight. The counterweight device 306 includes a weight chamber located between the pawl 304 and the slider, containing several weights. The weight of the pawl 304 is adjusted by setting the number of weights. Alternatively, a combination of pulleys and weights can be used to reduce the weight of the pawl 304. When the pawl 304 is relatively light, a weight-increasing scheme is used; when the pawl 304 is relatively heavy, a weight-reducing scheme is used. Adjusting the counterweight of the pawl 304 adjusts the downward pressure of the pawl 304, ensuring that the downward pressure is within a suitable range. This ensures sufficient downward pressure to adjust the position of the lead 401, while preventing excessive downward pressure from damaging the circuit board.

[0066] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the claw 304 is generally L-shaped. The long side 307 of the claw 304 is connected to the transfer mechanism. The short side 308 of the claw 304 is provided with comb teeth 309 for adjusting the spacing of each lead wire 401 of the component 4. The top of the short side 308 of the claw 304 is provided with a limiting groove 310 for adjusting the height of each lead wire 401 of the component 4. The limiting groove 310 is located between each comb tooth 309.

[0067] In this embodiment, the long side 307 of the claw 304 is mounted on the weight compartment, and the short side 308 is located on the side away from the transfer device. The width of the tooth tip of the comb 309 is smaller than the width of the tooth root, and the width gradually transitions, so that the opening of the comb 309 gradually decreases from the tooth tip to the tooth root. This facilitates the inclusion of the lead wire 401 within the range of the comb 309, thereby allowing adjustment of all the lead wires 401 of the component 4. Furthermore, during the combing process, the position of the lead wire 401 is gradually adjusted. Then, the lead wire 401 moves into the limiting groove 310. The height of the lead wire 401 is adjusted by the depth of the limiting groove 310, and the spacing between each lead wire 401 is further adjusted by the width of the limiting groove 310. The number of comb teeth 309 can be set according to specific production needs.

[0068] like Figure 4 and Figure 14As shown, in a preferred embodiment, the material conveying device 1 includes an unloading mechanism 132, which includes two second reciprocating moving units 133, respectively used to unload materials from the two feeding mechanisms 101. The second reciprocating moving units 133 are ball screw moving pairs driven by servo motors. The second reciprocating moving units 133 are mounted on the frame via a support frame 121. A good product conveyor belt 134 and a defective product conveyor belt 135 are arranged below the second reciprocating moving units 133. A lifting component 137 is arranged at the bottom of the second reciprocating moving units 133. The lifting component 137 is connected to the slider of the second reciprocating moving units 133. The lifting component 137 is a cylinder. A rotating platform 138 is arranged at the bottom of the lifting component 137. The rotating platform 138 is set as needed. In this embodiment, since the material feeding directions of the clamps 5 on the two feeding mechanisms 101 are different, and the working directions of the clamps 5 are the same in the next workstation, it is sufficient to set the rotating platform 138 on one lifting component 137. The bottom of the rotating platform 138 is provided with a pneumatic gripper 139 for holding the clamp 5 of the component 4. The rotating platform 138 rotates the pneumatic gripper 139 to adjust the direction of the clamp 5 of the component 4. The lifting component 137 is used to adjust the height of the pneumatic gripper 139. The second reciprocating moving unit 133 drives the pneumatic gripper 139 to move to put the component 4 together with the clamp 5 into the good product conveyor belt 134 or the defective product conveyor belt 135. The end of the defective product conveyor belt 135 is provided with a discharge chute 136.

[0069] During operation, the pneumatic gripper 139 remains open. The second reciprocating unit 133 moves the pneumatic gripper 139 above the clamp 5 in the feed track 102. The lifting component 137 moves the pneumatic gripper 139 down to contact the clamp 5, clamping it. The lifting component 137 then lifts the pneumatic gripper 139. The second reciprocating unit 133 moves the pneumatic gripper 139 above the good product conveyor belt 134 or the defective product conveyor belt 135, requiring rotation of the clamp 5. The rotating platform 138 rotates to adjust the direction of the clamp 5. The lifting component 137 drives the pneumatic gripper 139 to move downward, so that the clamp 5 contacts the good product conveyor belt 134 or the defective product conveyor belt 135. The pneumatic gripper 139 is released, so that the clamp 5 falls onto the good product conveyor belt 134 or the defective product conveyor belt 135. The rotating platform 138 drives the pneumatic gripper 139 to rotate and reset. The second reciprocating moving unit 133 and the lifting component 137 drive the gripper to move above the next clamp 5 to be transferred. The good product conveyor belt 134 transports the clamp 5 to the next workstation, and the defective product conveyor belt transports the clamp 5 to the unloading chute 136 for manual re-inspection.

[0070] In this embodiment, the clamps 5 on the two feeding tracks 102 can be aligned and the discharge direction of the clamps 5 can be adjusted for subsequent processing. The products can also be sorted to separate good and bad products, which facilitates management and production. Bad products can be unloaded in a timely manner, thereby improving production efficiency and reducing production costs.

[0071] Example 2

[0072] like Figure 16 As shown, an automatic wire management method for organizing the lead positions of components, as described in one embodiment of the present invention, is applied to the aforementioned automatic wire management device for organizing the lead positions of components, and includes the following steps:

[0073] S1. The feeding mechanism drives the components and fixtures to feed, and the feeding limit component controls the feeding speed.

[0074] S2. Read the component serial number. If the serial number is normal, proceed to S3. If the serial number is abnormal, mark it as an NG product. Generally, NG products are products marked as defective by the previous workstation or serial numbers that do not belong to this production batch.

[0075] S3. The conveying mechanism moves the components and fixtures to below the camera, and the positioning mechanism positions the fixtures.

[0076] S4. The identification device photographs the position of the lead wires and pads of the components. If the controller judges that it is normal, it proceeds to S5. If it is abnormal, it is marked as an NG product.

[0077] S5. The controller controls the operation of the cable management device 3. The transfer mechanism drives the claw to move and adjust the position of the component's lead wire. The identification device captures the position of the component's lead wire and pad. The controller judges that it is normal.

[0078] S6. The positioning mechanism releases the clamp, and the conveying mechanism moves the component to the end of the feeding track.

[0079] S7. The unloading mechanism moves the sorted products to the good products conveyor belt and moves the products marked as NG to the defective products conveyor belt.

[0080] The automatic wire sorting method in this embodiment achieves precise adjustment and classification of component lead positions. In steps S4 and S5, the identification device and controller photograph and judge the positions of component leads and pads, accurately detecting whether the lead positions are normal. If the position is abnormal, the controller will adjust it through the wire sorting device 3 until the lead and pad are correctly aligned. If the position deviation is too large, such as the lead being bent, crossed, or twisted, it will be marked as an NG product. Through steps S6 and S7, good and defective products can be processed separately. Good products are moved to the good product conveyor belt and can enter the next production stage. NG products are not sorted but are moved to the defective product conveyor belt via the unloading structure for further repair, rework, or scrapping.

[0081] The automatic wire sorting method in this embodiment can improve production efficiency, reduce human error, and achieve precise adjustment and classification of component lead positions, which helps to improve product quality and production efficiency.

[0082] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
