Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of automated production equipment technology, and in particular to an automated vehicle changing device. Background Technology

[0002] With the popularization of intelligent manufacturing, more and more electronic products are being produced using automated production equipment, and the requirements for the quality and production efficiency of electronic products are also getting higher and higher.

[0003] Flexible circuit boards (PCBs) are commonly used electronic products. Their assembly requires adhesive application carriers and bending carriers. The adhesive application carrier holds the various components of the PCB, collectively referred to as "products." These products need to be transferred from the adhesive application carrier to the bending carrier. Current production equipment still relies on manual switching between these carriers. The adhesive application carrier has a cover to prevent damage to the products during transport. When a product needs to be transferred to its designated position, the cover must be removed. To reduce the number of adhesive application carriers used, products are placed on both sides of each carrier. Therefore, the carriers need to be flipped during production. These operations are still performed manually, resulting in low production efficiency, inconvenience, increased risk of product damage, and low product yield.

[0004] Therefore, designing an automatic vehicle-changing device is of great significance for solving the above problems. Summary of the Invention

[0028] As a preferred technical solution, the adhesive application channel support plate has three moving grooves that extend through the middle along the longitudinal direction. The three moving grooves extend through the upper side of the adhesive application channel support plate and form two mounting parts. The two mounting parts pass through the adhesive application lifting base plate.

[0029] As a preferred technical solution, the auxiliary blocking mechanism includes an auxiliary blocking seat detachably disposed on the adhesive application lifting connecting plate, an auxiliary blocking cylinder detachably disposed on the auxiliary blocking seat, an auxiliary blocking connecting seat disposed on the output end of the auxiliary blocking cylinder, and a locking block detachably disposed on the auxiliary blocking connecting seat for locking the adhesive application carrier, the locking block being located above the adhesive application carrier.

[0030] 1) The adhesive application flow channel assembly conveys the adhesive application carrier into the equipment. The first blocking mechanism blocks the adhesive application carrier at the adhesive application station assembly. The adhesive application station assembly opens the cover plate, and the cover plate conveying assembly moves the cover plate to the designated position. The adhesive application station assembly lifts the adhesive application carrier so that the flipping lifting and suction assembly can pick up the flipped adhesive application carrier or the main pick-and-place lifting and suction assembly can pick up the product on the adhesive application carrier. The bending flow channel assembly conveys the bending carrier into the equipment. The second blocking mechanism blocks the bending carrier at the bending station assembly. The bending station assembly lifts the bending carrier so that the main pick-and-place lifting and suction assembly can place the product into the bending carrier. The auxiliary pick-and-place lifting and suction assembly covers the steel sheet onto the product to complete the assembly. There is no need for manual replacement of the adhesive application carrier and the bending carrier. The automation level is high, the production efficiency is high, and the product yield is high.

[0031] 2) In order to further improve the product yield, the upper vision module can detect whether the products on the bending carrier are qualified. After the main pick-up and drop lifting suction component picks up the products on the adhesive application carrier, it descends to the lower vision module to detect whether they are qualified. If they are not qualified, the unqualified products will be placed in the temporary storage tray.

[0032] 3) The cover plate handling assembly enables automated movement of the cover plate, preventing interference when the adhesive application carrier rises.

[0033] 4) The flip nozzle holds the adhesive carrier, and the flip motor flips the adhesive carrier so that the main pick-up and drop lifting suction assembly can pick up the product on the back of the adhesive carrier.

[0034] 5) The auxiliary blocking cylinder pushes the locking block to move above the adhesive application carrier. The cover plate lifting cylinder lifts the cover plate lifting connecting plate, and the cover plate lifting base plate and ejector pin rise accordingly. Because the locking block blocks the adhesive application carrier, the cover plate separates from the adhesive application carrier. Then the cover plate transport assembly moves the cover plate away, and the adhesive application lifting cylinder lifts the adhesive application lifting base plate through the adhesive application lifting connecting plate, thereby lifting the adhesive application carrier.

[0035] 6) The movable groove facilitates the up-and-down movement of the cover plate lifting base plate within the movable groove. The mounting part passes through the adhesive-coated lifting base plate, which not only serves as a guide but also as a clearance mechanism. The mounting part also facilitates the installation of components used for conveying. Attached Figure Description

[0049] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0050] In the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention, the same or similar reference numerals correspond to the same or similar components. In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that if terms such as "top", "bottom", "left", "right", "front", "rear", "inner", "outer", etc., indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the drawings, they are only for the convenience of describing the present invention, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, the terms used to describe positional relationships in the drawings are only for illustrative purposes and should not be construed as limiting the present patent. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0051] Please refer to Figures 1-12 An embodiment of the present invention provides an automatic carrier changing device, comprising a working platform 1, a longitudinally extending adhesive application channel assembly 2 disposed on the working platform 1, an adhesive application station assembly 4 disposed in the middle of the adhesive application channel assembly 2 for lifting the adhesive application carrier A and removing the cover plate C, a cover plate transport assembly 5 disposed on the working platform 1 for transporting the cover plate C, a longitudinally extending bending channel assembly 6 disposed on the working platform 1, at least one bending station assembly 8 disposed on the bending channel assembly 6 for lifting the bending carrier B, and multiple bending channel assemblies 8 disposed on the bending channel assembly 6. The adhesive application channel assembly 2 includes a first support column 101 on one side of the channel assembly 6, multiple second support columns 102 on the work platform 1, multiple third support columns 103 on the work platform 1, a first support frame extending longitudinally, a tilting and lifting suction assembly 14 detachably mounted on the fifth sliding end, a second support frame extending longitudinally, and a main pick-and-place lifting suction assembly 17 detachably mounted on the sixth sliding end. The adhesive application channel assembly 2 drives the adhesive application carrier A to move longitudinally. The adhesive application channel assembly 2 is equipped with at least one first blocking mechanism 3 for blocking the adhesive application carrier A. The bending flow channel assembly 6 drives the bending carrier B to move longitudinally. The bending flow channel assembly 6 is equipped with at least one second blocking mechanism 7 for blocking the bending carrier B. Multiple first support columns 101 are equipped with auxiliary pick-and-place lifting and suction components 9 for picking up and placing steel sheets. These auxiliary pick-and-place lifting and suction components 9 extend longitudinally. Multiple second support columns 102 are equipped with first moving modules 10 extending laterally and having first and second sliding ends. Multiple third support columns 103 are equipped with third and fourth sliding ends extending laterally. Two moving modules 11 are symmetrically arranged, with the first moving module 10 and the second moving module 11. The two ends of the first support frame 12 are detachably connected to the first sliding end and the third sliding end, respectively. The first support frame 12 is provided with a third moving module 13 extending longitudinally and having a fifth sliding end. The flipping and lifting suction assembly 14 is used to flip the adhesive application carrier A or the bending carrier B. The two ends of the second support frame 15 are detachably connected to the second sliding end and the fourth sliding end, respectively. The second support frame 15 is provided with a fourth moving module 16 extending longitudinally and having a sixth sliding end.

[0052] The adhesive application flow channel assembly 2 conveys the adhesive application carrier A into the equipment. The adhesive application carrier A moves longitudinally. The first blocking mechanism 3 blocks the adhesive application carrier A at the adhesive application station assembly 4. The adhesive application station assembly 4 pushes open the cover plate C. The cover plate conveying assembly 5 transports the cover plate C to the designated position. The adhesive application station assembly 4 lifts the adhesive application carrier A so that the flipping lifting and suction assembly 14 can pick up the flipped adhesive application carrier A or the main pick-and-place lifting and suction assembly 17 can pick up the product on the adhesive application carrier A. The bending flow channel assembly 6 conveys the bending carrier B into the equipment. The second blocking mechanism 7 blocks the bending carrier B at the bending flow channel assembly 6. Station component 8 and bending station component 8 lift the bending carrier B so that the main pick-and-place lifting and suction component 17 can place the product into the bending carrier B. The auxiliary pick-and-place lifting and suction component 9 picks up steel sheets from other stations, or sets mounting points for steel sheets on the bending carrier B. The product mounting points on the bending carrier B are different from the steel sheet mounting points. The auxiliary pick-and-place lifting and suction component 9 directly picks up the steel sheets on the bending carrier B and covers the product with the steel sheets to complete the assembly. There is no need for manual replacement of the adhesive application carrier A and the bending carrier B. The automation level is high, the production efficiency is high, and the product yield is high.

[0053] The first moving module 10 and the second moving module 11 drive the flip-lifting suction assembly 14 to move laterally, the third moving module 13 drives the flip-lifting suction assembly 14 to move longitudinally, and the fourth moving module 16 drives the main pick-up and drop lifting suction assembly 17 to move longitudinally. The first moving module 10, the second moving module 11, the third moving module 13 and the fourth moving module 16 form a rectangular structure with a large moving area.

[0054] like Figures 3-7As shown, the adhesive application channel assembly 2 includes at least two symmetrically arranged adhesive application channel support plates 201, which extend longitudinally. The adhesive application station assembly 4 includes an adhesive application lifting cylinder 401 detachably disposed on the outer side of the middle portion of the adhesive application channel support plate 201, a cover plate lifting cylinder 402 detachably disposed on the outer side of the adhesive application channel support plate 201 for separating the cover plate C, an adhesive application lifting connecting plate 403 slidably disposed on the outer side of the adhesive application channel support plate 201, a cover plate lifting connecting plate 404 slidably disposed on the outer side of the adhesive application lifting connecting plate 403, and an adhesive application lifting base plate 405 detachably disposed on the upper side of the two adhesive application lifting connecting plates 403. A cover lifting base plate 406 is detachably mounted on the upper side of the two cover lifting connecting plates 404. The adhesive application lifting connecting plate 403 is detachably connected to the output end of the adhesive application lifting cylinder 401. An auxiliary blocking mechanism 407 for preventing the adhesive application carrier A from moving upward is detachably mounted on the adhesive application lifting connecting plate 403. The cover lifting connecting plate 404 is detachably connected to the output end of the cover lifting cylinder 402. The cover lifting base plate 406 is located below the adhesive application lifting base plate 405. Multiple ejector pins 408 for opening the cover plate C are provided on the upper side of the cover lifting base plate 406. Multiple top holes corresponding to the ejector pins 408 are vertically arranged along the upper edge of the adhesive application lifting base plate 405.

[0055] Following the above embodiments, the auxiliary blocking mechanism 407 includes an auxiliary blocking seat 4071 detachably mounted on the adhesive application lifting connecting plate 403, an auxiliary blocking cylinder 4072 detachably mounted on the auxiliary blocking seat 4071, an auxiliary blocking connecting seat 4073 mounted at the output end of the auxiliary blocking cylinder 4072, and a locking block 4074 detachably mounted on the auxiliary blocking connecting seat 4073 for locking the adhesive application carrier A. The locking block 4074 is located above the adhesive application carrier A. The auxiliary blocking cylinder 4072 pushes the locking block 4074 to move above the adhesive application carrier A, and the cover plate lifting cylinder 402 lifts the cover plate connecting plate. When plate 404 is lifted, cover plate lifting base plate 406 and ejector pin 408 rise accordingly. Due to block 4074 blocking adhesive application carrier A, cover plate C separates from adhesive application carrier A. Then, cover plate transport assembly 5 moves cover plate C away. Adhesive application lifting cylinder 401 lifts adhesive application lifting base plate 405 through adhesive application lifting connecting plate 403, thereby lifting adhesive application carrier A. Cover plate C is provided with clearance groove C1 to avoid block 4074. In order to improve the lifting stability of cover plate lifting base plate 406, multiple guide positioning posts 409 are also provided on cover plate lifting base plate 406. The guide positioning posts 409 pass through cover plate C.

[0056] Furthermore, three moving grooves 2011 are longitudinally arranged in the middle of the adhesive application channel support plate 201. The three moving grooves 2011 penetrate the upper side of the adhesive application channel support plate 201 and form two mounting parts 2021. The two mounting parts 2021 pass through the adhesive application lifting base plate 405.

[0057] Since the adhesive application channel support plate 201 extends longitudinally, all components of the adhesive application station assembly 4 are mounted on the adhesive application channel support plate 201. Adhesive application channel support feet 207 are provided on the outer side of the adhesive application channel support plate 201, and the adhesive application channel support feet 207 are detachably connected to the work platform 1. The adhesive application channel assembly 2 also includes various conveying components mounted on the adhesive application channel support plate 201. Taking one of the adhesive application channel support plates 201 as an example, a first conveyor motor 202 is mounted on the adhesive application channel support plate 201, and a first drive wheel 203 is mounted on the output shaft of the first conveyor motor 202. The adhesive application channel support plate 201 is provided with a plurality of first conveyor wheels 204 and first support wheels 206 for supporting the first conveyor belt 205. Some of the conveyor wheels are arranged along the edges of the moving groove 2011 and the mounting part 2021. The moving groove 2011 and the mounting part 2021 are rectangular structures. The conveyor belt is wound around the mounting position of the first conveyor wheels 204. Some of the first conveyor belt 205 is wound around the edges of the moving groove 2011 and the mounting part 2021. In this way, the first conveyor belt 205 can avoid the cover plate C and the adhesive application carrier A, preventing interference when the cover plate C and the adhesive application carrier A rise.

[0058] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the work platform 1 is detachably equipped with a lower vision module 18 for inspecting products. The lower vision module 18 is located between the adhesive application channel assembly 2 and the bending channel assembly 6. The second support frame 15 is detachably equipped with an upper vision module 19 for inspecting products. The upper vision module 19 is located above the bending carrier B.
