[0015] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this application are:
[0016] (1) The present application flexibly switches the connection status between the upper and lower ends of the vertical cavity and the upper airflow channel 1 and the lower airflow channel 1 by adjusting the upper control component and the lower control component. With the help of the air pressure during the flow of air, the valve plate in the vertical cavity is controlled to drive the auxiliary suction rod to move up and down. When grabbing large-sized components, multiple auxiliary suction rods move down to be flush with the main suction rod to adsorb the components together. When grabbing small-sized components, multiple auxiliary suction rods move up, and a single main suction rod is alone at the bottom to adsorb the components. There is no need to equip multiple specifications of placement heads, which is beneficial to reducing the cost of manufacturing and using the placement machine, and there is no need to frequently switch different placement heads, which to a certain extent improves the efficiency of the device when mixing patches.
[0017] (2) By providing air suction in the upper airflow channel 1 and the lower airflow channel 1 on the upper and lower sides of the vertical cavity, and by using an air pump 1 to switch the airflow direction in the upper airflow channel 2 and the lower airflow channel 2, the connection control between the upper airflow channel 1, the lower airflow channel 1 and the upper and lower ends of the vertical cavity is realized. After the airflow in the upper control component and the lower control component is controlled, the up and down movement control of many auxiliary suction rods can be flexibly realized. Under airflow control, it is helpful to reduce the space occupied by the upper control component and the lower control component in the placement head, which improves the structural rationality of the device during use to a certain extent.
[0018] (3) Through the connection among the connecting pipe, the hole 1, the hole 2, the inner tube 1 and the sleeve 1, the air pump 2 can simultaneously act on the main suction rod and the plurality of auxiliary suction rods arranged around it, as well as the upper airflow channel 1 and the lower airflow channel 1. It is not necessary to additionally arrange a plurality of air pumps 2, and the airflow in a plurality of structures can be sucked, which is beneficial to reducing the cost of manufacturing and using the device.
[0019] (4) By providing a servo motor to drive the vertical rod to rotate, the angle of the components adsorbed under the placement head can be adjusted. At the same time, by rotating sleeve one to connect to the top of inner tube one, inner tube two is sleeved on the outside of inner tube one and is rotationally connected to sleeve two, and the vertical rod is sleeved on the outside of inner tube two and is rotationally connected to sleeve three, during the rotation of the vertical rod, the airflow connection between the placement head, the upper control component, the lower control component and the air pump one and the air pump two will not be disturbed, thereby effectively ensuring the stability of the internal airflow during the operation of the device.
[0020] (5) The conveyor belt is formed by weaving a grid structure of metal wires, so that there are numerous through holes inside the conveyor belt, which makes it breathable from top to bottom. Combined with the suction of the air flow in the air box, negative pressure adsorption acts on the bottom of the module circuit board supported by the top of the conveyor belt. At the same time, by wrapping the rubber layer on the outside of the metal wire, not only can the contact wear of the conveyor belt on the module circuit board above it be reduced, but also the contact friction resistance between the conveyor belt and the module circuit board above it can be enhanced, which is conducive to further improving the stability of the module circuit board when being conveyed for patching.
[0021] (6) By sliding the side panels onto the guide rails and pushing them with the help of an electric push rod, the spacing between the left and right side panels can be flexibly adjusted, thereby improving the applicability of the conveying mechanism of the device to a certain extent. At the same time, by fixing the gear rods meshing on the upper and lower sides of the gear to the left and right side panels respectively, the left and right side panels can move synchronously and relatively, which can not only keep the module circuit board in the middle position of the device during the adjustment process, but also reduce the moving stroke of the electric push rod, further improving the flexibility and stability of the conveying mechanism during operation.

[0043] The embodiments will be combined with the drawings in the specification to clearly and completely describe the technical solution of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without making any creative work shall fall within the scope of protection of the present application.
[0044] Embodiment one:
[0045] The present invention provides a fully automatic chip mounter for liquid crystal display modules. Figure 1 - Fig.14 , including a machine body 1, a mechanical arm 101 is fixedly installed on the top of the machine body 1, and a vertically arranged vertical rod 102 is installed at the end of the mechanical arm 101, and a placement head is installed at the bottom end of the vertical rod 102, and the placement head includes a round table 3, and an upper cover plate 301 and a lower cover plate 302 fixedly covered on the upper and lower sides of the round table 3, the bottom end of the vertical rod 102 is fixedly connected to the top axis position of the upper cover plate 301, and a main suction rod 303 penetrating to the bottom of the lower cover plate 302 is vertically fixed at the internal axis position of the round table 3, and the bottom end of the main suction rod 303 is fixedly connected to a first suction cup 304, and a plurality of surrounding A vertical cavity 305 is set in the main suction rod 303, and a secondary suction rod 306 is vertically inserted in the vertical cavity 305 and movably penetrates to the top of the upper cover plate 301 and the bottom of the lower cover plate 302. A valve plate 307 slidably set in the vertical cavity 305 is fixed on the outer end wall of the secondary suction rod 306, and the outer side size of the valve plate 307 is matched with the internal size of the vertical cavity 305. The bottom end of the secondary suction rod 306 is fixedly connected to a second suction cup 308, and an upper control component acting on the top of the vertical cavity 305 is set at the connection between the frustum 3 and the upper cover plate 301, and a lower control component acting on the bottom of the vertical cavity 305 is set at the connection between the frustum 3 and the lower cover plate 302.
[0046] During the operation of the device, the mechanical arm 101 installed on the top of the machine body 1 is powered on and started, driving the placement head connected to the bottom of the vertical rod 102 at its end to move, and the components are grabbed by the placement head, and placed on the LCD module circuit board after moving, completing the patch operation. When the placement head grabs the components, there will be high-speed airflow flowing from bottom to top in the main suction rod 303 and the auxiliary suction rod 306. When the first suction cup 304 connected to the bottom end of the main suction rod 303 and the second suction cup 308 connected to the bottom end of the auxiliary suction rod 306 are close to the outer surface of the component, the negative pressure formed by the airflow suction When pressed down, the outer surface of the component can be firmly adsorbed by the first suction cup 304 and the second suction cup 308, so that the placement head can grasp the component. When the component needs to be released, it is only necessary to interrupt the continuous supply of airflow in the main suction rod 303 and the auxiliary suction rod 306. After the airflow is interrupted, the negative pressure adsorption effect of the bottom of the main suction rod 303 and the auxiliary suction rod 306 on the component disappears, and the component falls off from the bottom of the placement head. After the grasping is completed, the component is released. When grasping and placing components of different sizes, the main suction rod 303 and the auxiliary suction rod 306 in the placement head can be adjusted accordingly.
[0047] When grasping large-sized components, air suction is generated at the lower end of the vertical cavity 305 by adjusting the upper control assembly and the lower control assembly. Under the action of air pressure, the valve plate 307 slidingly arranged in the vertical cavity 305 drives the auxiliary suction rod 306 to move downward, so that the second suction cup 308 at the bottom end of the auxiliary suction rod 306 is flush with the first suction cup 304 at the bottom end of the main suction rod 303. At this time, when the placement head acts on the large-sized components, the first suction cup 304 and multiple second suction cups 308 are attached to the outer surface of the large-sized components together, and negative pressure adsorption is performed on the outer surface of the large-sized components at the same time, which can effectively improve the placement head's grasping stability for large-sized components.
[0048] When grabbing small-sized components, due to the small size of small-sized components, if there are taller components around their installation positions, during the small-sized component placement process, the larger placement head will be blocked. In order to ensure the stable release of small-sized components in narrow positions, it is often necessary to switch to use narrow and long placement heads in the prior art to achieve the grabbing and placement operations of small-sized components. Placement heads of different specifications correspond to components of different specifications. This requires a single placement machine to be equipped with multiple robotic arms 101, or to be equipped with placement heads of multiple specifications according to actual use requirements to achieve flexible switching. This greatly increases the cost of manufacturing and using the placement machine, and if different placement heads are switched frequently, the work efficiency when mixed placement of components of different specifications will be greatly reduced.
[0049] In the present device, when switching to grabbing small-sized components, air suction is generated at the upper end of the vertical cavity 305 through the adjustment of the upper control assembly and the lower control assembly. Under the action of air pressure, the valve plate 307 slidingly arranged in the vertical cavity 305 will drive the auxiliary suction rod 306 to move upward, and the auxiliary suction rod 306 carries the second suction cup 308 and retracts upward. At this time, there is only a single vertically arranged main suction rod 303 protruding outward below the placement head. When the first suction cup 304 fixed at the bottom end of the main suction rod 303 contacts the outer surface of the small-sized component, a negative pressure grabbing operation is performed on it. In the process of grabbing small-sized components, multiple auxiliary suction rods 306 arranged around the outside are retracted upward, so that only a long straight main suction rod 303 exists below the placement head to grab the small-sized components. There is no need to switch the placement head, the manufacturing and use costs are greatly reduced, and the adjustment process is fast and convenient, which can effectively improve the efficiency of the device in mixed placement of components of different specifications.
[0050] See also Fig. 9 , Fig.12 and Fig.13 The upper control assembly includes an upper flow passage 1-4 opened at the connection position between the truncated table 3 and the upper cover plate 301 and surrounding and communicating between the top ends of the plurality of vertical cavities 305. The top of the truncated table 3 is provided with an upper chamber 401 directly communicating with the interior of the vertical cavity 305, and an upper valve block 402 is slidably installed in the upper chamber 401. The top of the truncated table 3 is surrounded by an upper flow passage 2-403 communicating with the plurality of upper chambers 401. The lower control assembly includes a lower flow passage 1-5 opened at the connection position between the truncated table 3 and the lower cover plate 302 and surrounding and communicating between the bottom ends of the plurality of vertical cavities 305. The bottom of the truncated table 3 is provided with a valve block 402 connected to the vertical cavity 305. 5, and a lower valve block 502 is slidably installed in the lower chamber 501, a lower airflow channel 2 503 connected between the multiple lower chambers 501 is opened around the bottom of the round table 3, the upper airflow channel 2 403 and the lower airflow channel 2 503 are externally connected to the air pump 1, and the air pump 1 is fixedly installed in the machine body 1, the airflow direction in the upper airflow channel 2 403 and the lower airflow channel 2 503 can be flexibly switched, the top of the upper valve block 402 is opened with an upper slot hole 404 matched with the upper airflow channel 1 4, and the bottom of the lower valve block 502 is opened with a lower slot hole 504 matched with the lower airflow channel 1 5.
[0051] During the operation of the device, the air flows in the upper airflow channel 4 and the lower airflow channel 5. At the same time, since the upper airflow channel 403 and the lower airflow channel 503 are connected with the air pump 1 in the machine body 1, the airflow can be sucked or filled in the plurality of upper chambers 401 and the lower chamber 501 through the air pump 1, and the flow direction of the airflow in the upper chamber 401 and the lower chamber 501 can be controlled by the air pump 1.
[0052] During the use of the device, when grabbing large-sized components, it is necessary to move the numerous auxiliary suction rods 306 downward to the lowest position so that their bottom ends are flush with the main suction rod 303. During this process, the air pump applies suction to the lower airflow channel 2 503, and the airflow is continuously filled into the upper airflow channel 2 403. The suction force of the airflow in the lower airflow channel 2 503 acts on the numerous lower chambers 501 simultaneously. Under the action of the airflow suction, the lower valve block 502 moves out from the bottom end of the vertical cavity 305 and slides into the corresponding lower cavity 501, so that the lower airflow channel 1 5 is connected with the bottom end of the vertical cavity 305, and the airflow sucked in the lower airflow channel 1 5 acts on the bottom end of the vertical cavity 305. At the same time, since the upper airflow channel 2 403 is continuously filled with air by the air pump 1, the filling of the airflow The valve body 402 is pressed against the upper surface of the main suction rod 303, and the upper suction cup 308 at the bottom of the main suction rod 303 is adjusted to be flush with the first suction cup 304 at the bottom of the main suction rod 303, thereby increasing the negative pressure suction point when grabbing large-sized components.
[0053] During the use of the device, when grabbing small-sized components, the air pump 1 adjusts the airflow direction in the upper airflow channel 2 403 and the lower airflow channel 2 503, so that the upper airflow channel 2 403 is suctioned, and the lower airflow channel 2 503 is continuously filled with air. Under the action of airflow suction, the upper valve block 402 moves into the upper chamber 401, and the blockage between the upper airflow channel 1 4 and the top of the vertical cavity 305 is lost, so that the top of the vertical cavity 305 is connected with the upper airflow channel 1 4 again, and the airflow suction in the upper airflow channel 1 4 acts on the top of the vertical cavity 305, while the airflow in the lower airflow channel 2 503 is continuously filled with air. The lower valve block 502 in the lower chamber 501 is filled, so that it is pushed into the bottom end of the vertical cavity 305, blocking the bottom end of the vertical cavity 305 and the lower airflow channel 5, so that the airflow suction in the lower airflow channel 5 no longer acts on the bottom end of the vertical cavity 305. In this state, the airflow suction is performed on the top of the vertical cavity 305 through the upper airflow channel 4, so that the valve plate 307 in the vertical cavity 305 drives the auxiliary suction rod 306 to move upward, and the auxiliary suction rod 306 that originally moved downward and then protruded downward moves upward and is then retracted into the vertical cavity 305, so that the main suction rod 303 is independently erected at the lower position of the placement head, so that small-scale components can be flexibly grasped.
[0054] The device provides airflow suction in the upper airflow channel 14 and the lower airflow channel 15 on the upper and lower sides of the vertical cavity 305, and switches the airflow direction in the upper airflow channel 2 403 and the lower airflow channel 2 503 with the help of an air pump 1, so as to realize the connection control of the upper airflow channel 14, the lower airflow channel 15 and the upper and lower ends of the vertical cavity 305, so that after the airflow in the upper control component and the lower control component is controlled, the up and down movement control of the plurality of auxiliary suction rods 306 can be flexibly realized, and the airflow control is conducive to reducing the upper control component and the lower control component during mounting. The space occupied in the head improves the structural rationality of the device during use to a certain extent. The upper slot hole 404 adapted to the upper airflow channel 4 is opened at the top of the upper valve block 402, and the lower slot hole 504 adapted to the lower airflow channel 5 is opened at the bottom of the lower valve block 502. Even when the upper valve block 402 and the lower valve block 502 block the connection between the upper airflow channel 4, the lower airflow channel 5 and the vertical cavity 305, the independent flow of the airflow in the upper airflow channel 4 and the lower airflow channel 5 can be guaranteed to be smooth and stable.
[0055] See also Figure 3 , the vertical rod 102 is rotatably installed in the end of the mechanical arm 101, and a servo motor is fixedly installed at the end of the mechanical arm 101, and the driving shaft of the servo motor is arranged parallel to the vertical rod 102, and a transmission belt 103 is connected between the driving shaft of the servo motor and the vertical rod 102. During the operation of the device, the servo motor installed at the end of the mechanical arm 101 is powered on and started, driving the vertical rod 102 connected to its driving shaft to rotate. By rotating the vertical rod 102, the placement head installed below can be driven to rotate around the vertical rod 102, thereby adjusting the angle of the components adsorbed below the placement head, further ensuring the precise stability when the placement head grabs the components for patch release.
[0056] See also Figure 5 - Fig.10 A sleeve 6 movably sleeved on the outer side of the upper end of the auxiliary suction rod 306 is fixedly installed on the top of the upper cover plate 301, and a connecting pipe 601 arranged around is fixedly connected between the top ends of the multiple sleeves 6. A channel 602 connected between the upper airflow channel 4 and the lower airflow channel 5 is vertically opened in the truncated table 3, and the channel 602 is directly connected to the connecting pipe 601. A channel 2 603 connected between the main suction rod 303 and the channel 1 602 is opened in the truncated table 3. An inner tube 1 604 connected to the top of the main suction rod 303 is vertically fixed in the vertical rod 102. An air pump 2 is fixedly installed in the machine body 1. The top end of the inner tube 1 604 is rotatably connected to a sleeve 1 605 connected to the air pump 2, and the sleeve 1 605 is fixedly installed at the end of the robot arm 101.
[0057] During the operation of the device, the air pump 2 installed in the machine body 1 is powered on and started to suck the air in the sleeve 1 605 fixedly connected thereto, and the external air enters through the first suction cup 304 installed at the bottom of the main suction rod 303, and then flows to the sleeve 1 605 along the inner tube 1 604. At the same time, the external air enters through the second suction cup 308 installed at the bottom of the auxiliary suction rod 306, passes through the auxiliary suction rod 306 and enters the corresponding sleeve 6, and is connected through multiple connecting pipes 601, as well as the connection between the channel 1 602 and the channel 2 603, so that the air enters the main suction rod 303, enters the sleeve 1 605 through the inner tube 1 604, and finally flows to the air pump 2 together. Moreover, since the upper airflow channel 1 4 and the lower airflow channel 1 5 are both connected to the channel 1 602, the airflow suction effect will act synchronously in the upper airflow channel 1 4 and the lower airflow channel 1 5.
[0058] During use of the device, through the connection of the connecting pipe 601, the hole 1 602, the hole 2 603, the inner tube 1 604 and the sleeve 1 605, the air pump 2 can simultaneously act on the main suction rod 303 and the numerous surrounding auxiliary suction rods 306, as well as the upper airflow channel 1 4 and the lower airflow channel 1 5. There is no need to set up multiple air pumps 2 additionally, so as to achieve the suction of airflow in multiple structures, which is beneficial to reducing the cost of manufacturing and using the device. At the same time, by rotating the sleeve 1 605 to connect to the top of the inner tube 1 604, the connection between the inner tube 1 604 and the sleeve 1 605 will not be affected during the rotation of the vertical rod 102, which is beneficial to ensuring the stability of the airflow circulation in the device.

[0060] During the operation of the device, a pipe connected to the third channel 606 is fixedly connected to the lower outer end wall of the vertical rod 102, and another pipe connected to the upper air channel 2 403 is fixedly connected to the lower outer end wall of the inner tube 2 607. With the two pipes connected, the inner tube 2 607 is sleeved on the outer side of the inner tube 1 604 and is rotatably connected to the sleeve 2 608. The vertical rod 102 is sleeved on the outer side of the inner tube 2 607 and is rotatably connected to the sleeve 3 609, forming a channel connecting the sleeve 2 608, the inner tube 2 607, and the upper air channel 2 403, as well as a channel connecting the sleeve 3 609, the vertical rod 102, the third channel 606, and the lower air channel 2 503, so that the internal airflow is normal when the upper control component and the lower control component of the air pump are adjusted, and the airflow will not be interrupted due to the rotation of the vertical rod 102, thereby ensuring the stability of the equipment during operation control.
[0061] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Fig.14 A conveying mechanism is installed in the middle position of the top of the machine body 1, and a component delivery table 104 located on both sides of the conveying mechanism is installed on the top of the machine body 1. The conveying mechanism includes side panels 2 symmetrically and vertically arranged on the top of the machine body 1, and the two side panels 2 are rotatably installed with symmetrically arranged conveying rollers 201 at both ends of the end wall of one side close to each other, and the conveying rollers 201 are externally connected to a driving unit, which can be a motor. A conveyor belt 202 is commonly sleeved between the two symmetrically arranged conveying rollers 201 on the same side. The conveyor belt 202 is woven from metal wires in a grid structure, and the outer side of the metal wires is wrapped with a rubber layer. An air box 203 arranged on the inner side of the conveyor belt 202 is fixedly installed on the end wall of the side panel 2, and the air box 203 is connected to the air pump.
[0062] During the operation of the device, the driving unit connected to the conveyor roller 201 is powered on and started, driving the conveyor roller 201 to rotate, thereby rotating the conveyor belt 202 on the outside of the conveyor roller 201 on the same side. The LCD module circuit board to be processed is placed on the top of the conveyor belts 202 symmetrically arranged on the left and right sides, and is transported backwards through the rotation of the conveyor belts 202. During the transportation process, the mechanical arm 101 controls the mounting head installed at the lower end of the vertical rod 102 to grab components of different specifications from the component delivery tables 104 on both sides as needed, and mount them on the module circuit board to complete the LCD module SMT processing. The conveyor belt 202 is formed by using metal wires in a grid structure so that the conveyor There are numerous through holes inside the belt 202, which makes it breathable from top to bottom. With the suction of the airflow in the air box 203, negative pressure adsorption acts on the bottom of the module circuit board supported by the top of the conveyor belt 202, which can effectively improve the stability of the module circuit board on the conveyor belt 202, making it less likely to shift, which is beneficial to improving the stability of the LCD module circuit board being processed by the device. At the same time, by wrapping the rubber layer on the outside of the metal wire, not only can the contact wear of the conveyor belt 202 on the module circuit board above it be reduced, but also the contact friction resistance between the conveyor belt 202 and the module circuit board above it can be enhanced, which is beneficial to further improve the stability of the module circuit board when being conveyed for patching.
[0063] See also Fig.14 The top of the air box 203 is provided with air holes evenly distributed just below the upper end wall of the conveyor belt 202. The top of the machine body 1 is symmetrically fixed with transversely arranged guide rails 204 on both sides. The side panels 2 are slidably mounted on the guide rails 204. An electric push rod 205 arranged parallel to the guide rails 204 is fixedly mounted, and the telescopic end of the electric push rod 205 is fixedly connected to one of the side panels 2. A gear 206 is rotatably mounted in the middle of the guide rail 204, and the upper and lower sides of the gear 206 are respectively meshed with left and right symmetrically arranged gear rods 207. The two gear rods 207 are respectively fixedly connected to the side panels 2 on both sides. The operation process of the device In the embodiment, by sliding the side panel 2 onto the guide rail 204 and pushing it with the help of the electric push rod 205, the spacing between the left and right side panels 2 can be flexibly adjusted, so that the conveying mechanism can convey module circuit boards of different specifications after adjustment. At the same time, by fixing the gear rods 207 meshing on the upper and lower sides of the gear 206 to the left and right side panels 2 respectively, the left and right side panels 2 can move synchronously and relatively, which can not only keep the module circuit board in the middle position of the device at all times during the adjustment process, but also reduce the moving stroke of the electric push rod 205, effectively ensuring the flexibility and stability of the device during use.
[0064] The above are only the best implementation methods adopted by this application in combination with current actual needs, but the protection scope of this application is not limited to this.
