[0052] Please refer to Figures 1 to 4 The application provides a vibrating disc feeding assembly 100, which can be applied to an electronic component detection system, and is connected with a vibrating disc 200 to convey electronic components in the vibrating disc 200 to a detection device.

[0053] The vibration disc feeding assembly 100 provided by the application comprises a track 10, a cover plate 20 and a cover plate driving mechanism 30. The track 10 has a feeding track slot 11, a returning material track slot 12 and a recycling track slot 13. The feeding track slot 11 has a feeding end 11a and a discharging end 11b, and the feeding end 11a is used for connecting the vibration disc 200. The returning material track slot 12 and the recycling track slot 13 are both located on one side of the feeding track slot 11 in the direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the feeding track slot 11. In the extension direction of the feeding track slot 11, the returning material track slot 12 is arranged close to the feeding end 11a, and the recycling track slot 13 is arranged close to the discharging end 11b. The cover plate 20 covers the recycling track slot 13 and the area of the feeding track slot 11 which is parallel to the recycling track slot 13. The cover plate driving mechanism 30 is connected with the cover plate 20 and is used for driving the cover plate 20 to open so that the jammed electronic components can enter the recycling track slot 13 from the feeding track slot 11. When the jamming occurs, the returning material track slot 12 is used for sending the electronic components on the feeding track slot 11 which do not enter the covered area of the cover plate 20 back to the vibration disc 200, and the recycling track slot 13 is used for recycling the electronic components on the feeding track slot 11 which enter the covered area of the cover plate 20.

[0054] The feeding track slot 11 of the track 10 in the vibration disc feeding assembly 100 has a feeding end 11a and a discharging end 11b. In use, the feeding end 11a is connected with the vibration disc 200, so that the electronic components in the vibration disc 200 can be conveyed to the feeding track slot 11 and move along the feeding track slot 11 to the discharging end 11b. The discharging end 11b of the feeding track slot 11 generally has a discharging position, and the electronic component grabbing mechanism grabs the electronic components from the discharging position of the feeding track slot 11 and then sends the electronic components to the detection equipment, so as to complete the detection and feeding of the electronic components.

[0055] The return track groove 12 and the recycling track groove 13 on the track 10 are located on one side of the feeding track groove 11 in a direction perpendicular to the extension direction of the feeding track groove 11, and in the extension direction of the feeding track groove 11, the return track groove 12 is arranged close to the feeding end 11a, and the recycling track groove 13 is arranged close to the discharging end 11b. The return track groove 12 and the recycling track groove 13 can be arranged side by side with the feeding track groove 11, so that the electronic components on the feeding track groove 11 that do not enter the covered area of the cover plate 20 enter the return track groove 12, and correspondingly, the electronic components on the feeding track groove 11 that enter the covered area of the cover plate 20 enter the recycling track groove 13. It can be understood that one end of the return track groove 12 is also connected with the vibration disc 200, so that the return track groove 12 can deliver the electronic components back to the vibration disc 200. It should be noted that the return track groove 12 and the feeding track groove 11 can be located on the same side of the feeding track groove 11, or can be located on both sides of the feeding track groove 11. In the following embodiments of the present application, the return track groove 12 and the feeding track groove 11 can be located on the same side of the feeding track groove 11. By arranging the return track groove 12 and the feeding track groove 11 on the same side of the feeding track groove 11, the overall width of the track 10 can be reduced.

[0056] The cover plate 20 in the vibration disc feeding assembly 100 covers the recycling track groove 13 and the area of the feeding track groove 11 arranged side by side with the recycling track groove 13. It can be understood that the recycling track groove 13 is completely covered by the cover plate 20, and correspondingly, the area of the feeding track groove 11 arranged side by side with the recycling track groove 13 is covered by the cover plate 20, so that the electronic components in the feeding track groove 11 close to the discharging end 11b are prevented from being separated from the feeding track groove 11 during movement, and the electronic components in the feeding track groove 11 are prevented from flying out when being blown towards the recycling track groove 13. In addition, the area of the feeding track groove 11 arranged side by side with the recycling track groove 13 is covered by the cover plate 20, and the feeding end 11a of the feeding track groove 11 to the area close to the cover plate 20 can be arranged as a twisted track to prevent the electronic components from being shaken out. Compared with covering the entire feeding track groove 11 with the cover plate 20, on the one hand, the structure of the cover plate 20 is simplified, and on the other hand, the contact path of the electronic components with the cover plate 20 during transportation on the feeding track groove 11 is reduced, thereby reducing the probability of jamming.

[0057] The cover plate driving mechanism 30 in the vibrating disc feeding assembly 100 is used to drive the cover plate 20 to open, so that the electronic components of the clamped material can enter the recycling track slot 13 from the feeding track slot 11. The cover plate driving mechanism 30 used to drive the cover plate 20 to open can be used to drive the cover plate 20 to move vertically upward, to move forward along the feeding track slot 11, to move backward along the feeding track slot 11, to move to the left of the feeding track slot 11, or to move to the right of the feeding track slot 11, and of course can be used to drive the cover plate 20 to move obliquely upward. It can be understood that the cover plate driving mechanism 30 can drive the cover plate 20 to move linearly to open the cover plate 20, and the cover plate driving mechanism 30 can be a screw sliding block mechanism, a cylinder driving mechanism, or a gear and rack mechanism, but is not limited thereto.

[0058] For reference Figures 5 to 7 In some embodiments, the cover plate driving mechanism 30 can include a mounting base 31, a sliding rail 32, and a connecting seat 33. The sliding rail 32 is arranged on the mounting base 31, and the connecting seat 33 is slidingly arranged on the sliding rail 32 and connected to the cover plate 20. For example, the connecting seat 33 in the cover plate driving mechanism 30 can be connected to one side of the cover plate 20 close to the recycling track slot 13, so that the connecting seat 33 can drive the cover plate 20 to move when the connecting seat 33 moves along the sliding rail 32 to open the cover plate 20. By connecting the connecting seat 33 in the cover plate driving mechanism 30 to one side of the cover plate 20 close to the recycling track slot 13, it is convenient to arrange a blowing structure on the side of the feeding track slot 11 away from the recycling track slot 13 to blow the electronic components entering the cover plate 20 into the recycling track slot 13. Taking the cylinder driving of the cover plate driving mechanism 30 as an example, it can be understood that the cover plate driving mechanism 30 further includes a power device cylinder, which drives the connecting seat 33 to move along the sliding rail 32.

[0059] In some embodiments, the sliding rail 32 can be arranged perpendicular to the extension direction of the feeding track slot 11, the sliding rail 32 has opposite first and second ends, and the second end is higher than the first end. The connecting seat 33 drives the cover plate 20 to slide along the sliding rail 32 from the first end to the second end to open the cover plate 20. In this way, the cover plate 20 is obliquely upwardly moved to open, that is, the cover plate 20 moves upwardly while also moving in the direction from the feeding track slot 11 to the recycling track slot 13. In this way, while ensuring that the clamped material can be removed, the cover plate 20 can produce a smaller displacement in the vertical direction, avoiding collision between the cover plate 20 and other components, such as the electronic component grabbing device, and ensuring stable operation of the electronic component feeding.

[0060] After the clamped material is removed and the electronic components entering the cover plate 20 are blown into the recycling track slot 13, in order to enable the cover plate 20 to be quickly and automatically reset, the cover plate driving mechanism 30 can be used to drive the cover plate 20 to move vertically downward, to move forward along the feeding track slot 11, to move backward along the feeding track slot 11, to move to the left of the feeding track slot 11, or to move to the right of the feeding track slot 11, and of course can be used to drive the cover plate 20 to move obliquely downward. Figures 5 to 7As shown in some embodiments, the cover plate driving mechanism 30 further comprises a reset elastic member 34, for example, the reset elastic member 34 can be a spring, but is not limited thereto. One end of the reset elastic member 34 is connected to the mounting base 31, and the other end is connected to the connecting seat 33. After the cylinder drives the cover plate 20 to open, the reset elastic member 34 can pull the cover plate 20 back to the initial position, that is, pull the connecting seat 33 to move from the second end to the first end. In addition, by arranging the reset elastic member 34 between the mounting base 31 and the mounting seat, when the cover plate 20 remains closed to cover the feeding track slot 11, the elastic force of the reset elastic member 34 can make the cover plate 20 stably maintain the state of covering the feeding track slot 11.

[0061] As shown in some embodiments, Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown in some embodiments, the connecting seat 33 can comprise a first connecting piece 331, a second connecting piece 332, and an adjusting bolt 333. The first connecting piece 331 is slidingly arranged on the slide rail 32, and a vertical sliding groove is arranged on the first connecting piece 331. The second connecting piece 332 is connected with the cover plate 20, and is slidingly arranged in the vertical sliding groove. The adjusting bolt 333 connects the first connecting piece 331 and the second connecting piece 332, and is used for adjusting the position of the second connecting piece 332 in the vertical sliding groove. It should be noted that the orientation description of the vibrating disc feeding assembly 100 in the embodiments of the present application is based on the placement state of the vibrating disc feeding assembly 100 in normal use.

[0062] The first connecting piece 331 of the connecting seat 33 is slidingly arranged on the slide rail 32, and a sliding block can be arranged on the first connecting piece 331 to cooperate with the slide rail 32, and the sliding block is connected with the cylinder. Since the slide rail 32 is inclinedly arranged, the first connecting piece 331 can comprise a plate-shaped structure arranged parallel to the slide rail 32 and a vertical plate-shaped structure. A connecting column can be arranged on the plate-shaped structure arranged parallel to the slide rail 32, and the connecting column is connected with one end of the reset elastic member 34. The vertical sliding groove on the first connecting piece 331 is arranged on the vertical plate-shaped structure, for example, the vertical sliding groove can be formed on the side of the vertical plate-shaped structure facing the plate-shaped structure arranged parallel to the slide rail 32. The second connecting piece 332 is slidingly arranged in the vertical sliding groove, and correspondingly, the second connecting piece 332 can be provided with a protrusion matched with the vertical sliding groove, so that the second connecting piece 332 is slidingly arranged relative to the first connecting piece 331, and the relative position of the second connecting piece 332 and the first connecting piece 331 in the vertical direction can be adjusted to adjust the relative position of the cover plate 20 and the track 10.

[0063] The first connecting piece 331 and the second connecting piece 332 are connected through an adjusting screw 333, the adjusting screw 333 can be rotationally connected with one of the first connecting piece 331 and the second connecting piece 332, and is threadedly matched with the other one, so that the position of the second connecting piece 332 in the vertical sliding slot can be adjusted by rotating the adjusting screw 333. In the embodiment of the application, the adjusting screw 333 is rotationally matched with the first connecting piece 331 and is threadedly matched with the second connecting piece 332, which is taken as an example for description. Of course, in order to guarantee the stability of the connection between the first connecting piece 331 and the second connecting piece 332, a waist-shaped hole can also be arranged on the first connecting piece 331, a threaded hole is arranged on the second connecting piece 332, and a locking screw is matched with the waist-shaped hole and the threaded hole, so that after the position of the first connecting piece 331 in the vertical sliding slot is adjusted, the locking screw is tightened to guarantee the stable connection between the first connecting piece 331 and the second connecting piece 332.

[0064] As shown in Figure 1 In some embodiments, the vibration disc feeding assembly 100 further comprises a receiving part 40. The receiving part 40 is arranged at the end of the recovery track slot 13 and is used to collect electronic components in the recovery track slot 13. Since the electronic components are fed in the feeding track slot 11, if the feeding is blocked, it indicates that there are burrs or other defects on the surface of the blocked electronic components, which are unqualified products. In the present scheme, the recovery track slot 13 is arranged, and then the electronic components entering the recovery track slot 13 can be separately recovered and processed. Compared with sending the blocked electronic components back to the vibration disc 200, the number of unqualified products in the vibration disc 200 can be reduced, and then the probability of blocking in the feeding process can be reduced.

[0065] The receiving part 40 is arranged at the end of the recovery track slot 13, for example, as shown in Figure 5 The receiving part 40 can be arranged on the mounting base 31 of the cover plate driving mechanism 30, but is not limited thereto. The receiving part 40 has a receiving slot 41 and a pipe joint 42 communicating with the receiving slot 41. The bottom wall of the receiving slot 41 can be provided with a communication hole, and the pipe joint 42 communicates with the receiving slot 41 through the communication hole. The pipe joint 42 can be connected with a conveying pipe, and the other end of the conveying pipe can be connected with an air pump. The air pump generates negative pressure in the conveying pipe, so as to realize the recovery of the electronic components.

[0066] As shown in Figures 2 to 4As shown, in some embodiments, the vibrating disc feeding assembly 100 can further include a full detection part 50, a return blowing part 60, a to-position detection part 70, and a recovery blowing part 80. The full detection part 50 is arranged on the track 10 and located at one end of the cover plate 20 close to the feeding end 11a, for detecting whether the area of the feeding track groove 11 covered by the cover plate 20 is full. The return blowing part 60 is used to blow the electronic components on the feeding track groove 11 that do not enter the area covered by the cover plate 20 to the return track groove 12. The to-position detection part 70 is also arranged on the track 10 and located at the discharging end 11b, for detecting whether the discharging position of the discharging end 11b has electronic components. The recovery blowing part 80 is used to blow the electronic components on the feeding track groove 11 that enter the area covered by the cover plate 20 to the recovery track groove 13.

It should be noted that the detection by the full detection part 50 of whether the area of the feeding track groove 11 covered by the cover plate 20 is full means that the full detection part 50 detects whether there are electronic components at the position of the cover plate 20 facing the feeding end 11a. If there are electronic components, it means that the area of the feeding track groove 11 covered by the cover plate 20 is full. Correspondingly, when the area covered by the cover plate 20 is full, it means that there are electronic components on the area of the feeding track groove 11 that is not covered by the cover plate 20, at which time the return blowing part 60 needs to be started to blow the electronic components on the feeding track groove 11 that do not enter the area covered by the cover plate 20 to the return track groove 12. If there are no electronic components, it means that the area of the feeding track groove 11 covered by the cover plate 20 is not full. Correspondingly, it means that there are no electronic components on the area of the feeding track groove 11 that is not covered by the cover plate 20, at which time the return blowing part 60 does not need to be started.

In the process that the electronic components to be detected move from the feeding end 11a to the discharge end 11b of the feeding track groove 11, the in-place detection part 70 and the full detection part 50 always monitor whether there are electronic components in the corresponding position, when the in-place detection part 70 detects that there is no electronic component in the discharge position of the discharge end 11b, it indicates that there is a jamming condition in the area of the feeding track groove 11 covered by the cover plate 20, at the same time, when the full detection part 50 detects that the area of the feeding track groove 11 covered by the cover plate 20 is full, the cover plate driving mechanism 30 is controlled to drive the cover plate 20 to open, and the return blowing part 60 and the recovery blowing part 80 are started to blow the electronic components in the area of the feeding track groove 11 not covered by the cover plate 20 to the return track groove 12, and blow the electronic components in the area of the feeding track groove 11 covered by the cover plate 20 to the recovery track groove 13. It can be understood that the return blowing part 60 and the recovery blowing part 80 can be set to reset after a preset time. When the vibration disc feeding assembly 100 further comprises the receiving part 40, the air pump connected with the receiving part 40 can be started at the same time to recover the electronic components entering the recovery track groove 13.

[0069] As shown in Figure 8 some embodiments, the present application also provides a vibration disc feeding device. The vibration disc feeding device comprises the vibration disc 200 and the vibration disc feeding assembly 100 in the above embodiments. The feeding track groove 11 and the return track groove 12 in the vibration disc feeding assembly 100 are connected with the vibration disc 200.

[0070] The vibration disc feeding device provided by the present application adopts all the technical solutions of the above vibration disc feeding assembly 100, so it at least has all the beneficial effects brought by the technical solutions of the embodiments of the vibration disc feeding assembly 100, which will not be repeated here.

[0071] In other embodiments, the present application also provides a vibration disc feeding method, which can be applied to the above embodiments of the vibration disc feeding assembly 100 or the embodiments of the vibration disc feeding device. The vibration disc feeding method comprises the following steps:

[0072] Step S100, the in-place detection part 70 detects whether there are electronic components in the discharge position of the discharge end 11b.

[0073] When there is an electronic component in the discharge position of the discharge end 11b of the feeding track slot 11, the electronic component grabbing device can normally grab the electronic component from the discharge position and send it to the detection device, indicating that the feeding of the feeding track slot 11 is normal. When there is no electronic component in the discharge position of the discharge end 11b, it indicates that there is no electronic component in the feeding track slot 11 continuously transported to the discharge position, indicating that the material blocking occurs at the cover plate 20 at this time.

[0074] Step S200, no, performing the material blocking cleaning work, the material blocking cleaning work includes: detecting whether the area of the feeding track slot 11 covered by the cover plate 20 is full of material by the full material detection part 50; when the area of the feeding track slot 11 covered by the cover plate 20 is full of material, controlling the cover plate driving mechanism 30 to drive the cover plate 20 to open, and controlling the material return blowing part 60 and the recovery blowing part 80 to start.

[0075] The full material detection part 50 can determine whether the area of the feeding track slot 11 covered by the cover plate 20 is full of material by detecting whether there is an electronic component at the position of the cover plate 20 towards the feeding end 11a. When there is an electronic component at the position of the cover plate 20 towards the feeding end 11a, it indicates that the area of the feeding track slot 11 covered by the cover plate 20 is full of material, so that it can be determined that there is an electronic component in the area of the feeding track slot 11 not covered by the cover plate 20, and the material return blowing part 60 needs to be started. Correspondingly, when there is no electronic component at the position of the cover plate 20 towards the feeding end 11a, it indicates that the area of the feeding track slot 11 covered by the cover plate 20 is not full of material, so that it can be determined that there is no electronic component in the area of the feeding track slot 11 not covered by the cover plate 20, and the material return blowing part 60 does not need to be started.

[0076] Step S300, yes, and the electronic component has not been taken away within a specified time, performing the material blocking cleaning work.

[0077] When the material blocking occurs, controlling the cover plate driving mechanism 30 to drive the cover plate 20 to open can make the material blocking electronic component be blown to the recovery track slot 13 by the recovery blowing part 80. The material return blowing part 60 starts can blow the electronic component in the area of the feeding track slot 11 not covered by the cover plate 20 to the material return track slot 12.

[0078] It should be noted that in the normal feeding process of the electronic component, the electronic component will be taken away by the electronic component grabbing device after moving to the discharge position. Correspondingly, the in-place detection part 70 should alternately detect that the discharge position exists electronic component, no electronic component. However, when the electronic component at the discharge position is stuck with the cover plate 20, the electronic component grabbing device will fail to grab the electronic component at this time, and the in-place detection part 70 will detect that the discharge position always exists electronic component, that is, in the vibrating disc feeding method, when the in-place detection part 70 detects that the discharge position exists electronic component, it is necessary to further judge whether the electronic component at the discharge position will be taken away within a specified time, and when it is detected that the electronic component at the discharge position has not been taken away within a specified time, it can also indicate that there is a stuck situation. Among them, the specified time can be determined according to the period of time of the electronic component grabbing device grabbing an electronic component, for example, the specified time can be one grabbing period, two grabbing periods, three grabbing periods of the electronic component grabbing device grabbing an electronic component, but is not limited thereto.

[0079] The vibrating disc feeding method provided by the present application can realize automatic detection of whether there is a stuck situation during the feeding process of the electronic component, and can automatically eliminate the stuck fault after the stuck situation occurs, without manual processing, reducing manpower and improving the feeding efficiency of the vibrating disc feeding.

[0080] The above is only an embodiment of the present application, and does not limit the patent scope of the present application, and any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation using the content of the present application specification and drawings, or direct or indirect application in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present application.
