[0049] It can be understood by those skilled in the art that the fifth lead screw 402 is driven to rotate by the output end of the fifth stepper motor 404, so that the moving frame 405 slides back and forth along the outer surface of the fifth guide rod 403, thereby changing the longitudinal position of the moving frame 405, the first vacuum suction plate 414 and the second vacuum suction plate 503; the sixth lead screw 406 is driven to rotate by the output end of the sixth stepper motor 408, so that the lifting block 409 slides up and down along the outer surface of the sixth guide rod 407, thereby changing the vertical position of the moving frame 405, the first vacuum suction plate 414 and the second vacuum suction plate 503; the output ends of the first electric telescopic rod 410 and the second electric telescopic rod 417 are used to change the vertical position of the first vacuum suction plate 414. 14 and the second vacuum suction plate 503 are in a horizontal upward position; the first vacuum suction plate 414 and the mounting shell 423 are rotated by the output ends of the first motor 413 and the second motor 420; and the working principle of the third clamping mechanism 5 is as follows: by controlling the extension or retraction of the output end of the third cylinder 510, the two groups of half gears 504 are rotated, driving the two groups of tooth plates 502 to approach or move away from each other, so that the second vacuum suction plate 503 and the pressure block 511 cooperate to clamp the outer side of the liquid crystal screen 103, and by extending or retracting the output end of the third cylinder 510, the pressure block 511 can be extended to the outside of the mounting shell 423, or retracted to the inside of the mounting shell 423.

[0050] The working principle and use process of this device are as follows: First, the manipulator 101 grabs the circuit board 102 from the external production conveyor line, and the movable plate 206 is moved to the middle of the top of the body 1 through the output end of the first stepper motor 205, and the movable frame 224 is driven toward the manipulator 101 through the output end of the first drive motor 207. Through the cooperation of the first servo motor 223 and the output end of the electric push rod 225, the two ends of one side of the circuit board 102 are clamped. After that, the movable plate 206 is reset, and the position of the movable frame 224 is also reset. If the gold finger 105 on the circuit board 102 is facing upward at this time, the clamped circuit board 102 is turned over by the output end of the transmission motor 218, so that the gold finger 105 on the circuit board 102 faces upward. Next, the manipulator 101 grabs the LCD screen 103 from the external production conveyor line, and the two groups of pressing pieces 320 are directed toward the manipulator 101 through the output end of the second drive motor 314. Under the cooperation of the third stepper motor 304, the fourth stepper motor 308 and the electric lifting rod 310, the two groups of pressing pieces 320 are moved to the position adapted to the manipulator 101. Under the action of the second servo motor 319, the two groups of pressing pieces 320 are brought close to each other to clamp the middle position of the tail of the LCD screen 103. Then, under the action of the output end of the second drive motor 314, the two groups of pressing pieces 320 and the LCD screen 103 are directed toward the clamped circuit board 102 as a whole, and continue to be moved by the third stepper motor 304, the fourth stepper motor 308 and the electric lifting rod 310. 10, the LCD screen 103 moves to the bottom of the circuit board 102, and the first vacuum suction plate 414 moves to the bottom of the gold finger 105 on the LCD screen 103 through the cooperation of the fifth stepper motor 404, the sixth stepper motor 408 and the first electric telescopic rod 410, and adsorbs the gold finger 105. Then the first vacuum suction plate 414 drives the gold finger 105 of the LCD screen 103 to fit and align with the gold finger 105 under the circuit board 102. Under the action of the welding head 416, the gold fingers 105 of the two are welded together. Then, the second vacuum suction plate 503 and the pressing block 511 move to the LCD screen 103 through the cooperation of the fifth stepper motor 404, the sixth stepper motor 408 and the second electric telescopic rod 417. The front side of the LCD screen 103 is moved closer to the pressure block 511 by the output end of the third cylinder 510, and the front side of the LCD screen 103 is clamped. Then, under the action of the flip motor 422, the LCD screen 103 is rotated, and the LCD screen 103 is placed directly above the circuit board 102, and the circuit board 102 is in a horizontal position. Then, the output end of the third cylinder 510 is retracted, and the pressure block 511 is retracted to the inside of the mounting shell 423. The second vacuum suction plate 503 is started to strongly adsorb the LCD screen 103. Then, with the cooperation of the fifth stepper motor 404, the sixth stepper motor 408 and the second electric telescopic rod 417, the back of the LCD screen 103 is accurately placed on the top of the circuit board 102.Finally, the A and K pins at the bottom of the circuit board 102 are welded by the welding head 416 to connect the LCD screen 103 and the circuit board 102 together;

[0051] It is worth noting that the above are the welding steps when the gold finger 105 is in the length direction of the circuit board 102. If the gold finger 105 is in the width direction of the circuit board 102, then one group of the first clamping mechanisms 2 clamps the two ends of one side of the circuit board 102. Next, it is only necessary to adjust the orientation of the LCD screen 103, as well as the orientation of the first vacuum suction plate 414 and the mounting shell 423, and repeat the above steps to achieve welding. Since the present invention clamps the two ends of one side of the circuit board 102 through one group of the first clamping mechanisms 2, if the position of the gold finger 105 on the circuit board 102 is under the extrusion of the pressure plate 226, there is a dead angle. At this time, it is only necessary to replace another group of the first clamping mechanisms 2 to clamp the two ends of the other side of the circuit board 102. Therefore, the present invention is highly practical and does not require manual operation to achieve automated batch processing.
