Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of PCB board conveying, and in particular to a conveying device for double-sided detection of PCB boards. Background Art

[0002] Traditional PCB production and testing factories are transforming into automated production lines. With the development of machine vision, its technology is becoming more mature and the cost is continuously decreasing. At present, many PCB testing workshops in China have begun to introduce visual inspection equipment to replace manual labor, which greatly improves the inspection efficiency. Now the PCB board is transported to the inspection platform for quality inspection through a conveying device. Due to the high quality requirements of PCB boards, both sides of the PCB board need to be inspected during the inspection. Only when both sides of the PCB board are qualified can it enter the next production link. At present, gantry conveyors are mostly used for loading and unloading PCB boards, and then the gantry conveyors cannot turn over the PCB board, resulting in only single-sided inspection. Later, manual turning over is required to be put into the inspection path again for inspection on the other side, which is inefficient and labor-intensive. Some automated production lines will use intelligent manipulators, which control the movements of the intelligent manipulators by setting different programming to complete the turning operation of the PCB board. This requires complex and precise programs, which makes the price too high. Moreover, in factory production, several automated inspection lines will be configured, and each inspection line needs to be configured with an intelligent manipulator, resulting in a very high overall cost, which is not conducive to factory operation.

The side walls of the turning discs 5 are symmetrically installed with turning components, which include upper support bars 6 and lower support bars 7. The upper support bars 6 and the lower support bars 7 are fixedly connected to the turning discs 5, and the upper support bars 6 are arranged directly above the lower support bars 7; the top and one side of the loading box 1 are open, and a number of U-shaped support plates 8 are arranged at equal intervals from top to bottom in the loading box 1, and the U-shaped openings of the U-shaped support plates 8 are opened toward the side edges of the loading box 1, and a PCB board is placed on each U-shaped support plate 8, so that the PCB boards are spaced apart and placed in the loading box 1, so that the PCB boards will not be stacked together and will not be crushed. The PCB board is moved out from the side opening of the loading box 1 for loading. The PCB board detection equipment adopts the existing visual inspection equipment. The detection and conveying process of the PCB board is as follows: the PCB board in the loading box 1 is conveyed to the PCB board detection equipment through the gantry conveying mechanism for one-side detection. After the single-side detection is completed, the gantry conveying mechanism places the PCB board on the belt conveyor 3 of the front conveying structure, so that the two ends of the PCB board are respectively placed on the two belt conveyors 3, and the PCB board is conveyed to the flip mechanism through the front conveying structure. At this time, the flip assembly on the flip disk 5 is in a horizontal state, so that the PCB board can be smoothly conveyed to between the upper support bar 6 and the lower support bar 7, and the PC is supported by the lower support bar 7. B board, then, the flip mechanism is activated, and the flip disk 5 is driven to rotate 180° through the flip shaft 4, the flip disk 5 drives the flip assembly to rotate 180°, and the flip assembly drives the PCB board thereon to flip 180°, and the PCB board flipped 180° is close to the rear conveying structure, and the PCB board is conveyed forward by the belt conveyor 3 in the rear conveying structure, so that the turned-over PCB board is separated from the flip assembly, and then the flip shaft 4 drives the flip assembly to reset, and then the gantry conveying mechanism places the turned-over PCB board on the PCB board detection equipment for detection of the other side, thereby realizing double-sided detection of the PCB board, reducing the investment cost of the equipment, and at the same time realizing automated production and improving production efficiency.

[0030] Furthermore, if Figure 1 and Fig.10As shown, a fixed base 48 is provided at the bottom of the loading box 1, and a positioning cone 49 is fixed on the top of the fixed base 48. A positioning hole 50 is opened at the bottom of the loading box 1, and the positioning cone 49 is arranged in the positioning hole 50. A stacking box 51 is provided in the conveying range of the gantry conveying mechanism. The structure of the stacking box 51 is the same as that of the loading box 1. The turning mechanism is located between the loading box 1 and the stacking box 51, and the side opening of the stacking box 51 faces the turning mechanism. The installation position of the loading box 1 on the fixed base 48 can be positioned by the cooperation of the positioning cone 49 and the positioning hole 50, so that the loading is more accurate. The PCB boards that have been inspected on both sides are transported to the stacking box 51 through the gantry conveying mechanism, and the PCB boards are also stacked in the stacking box 51 at intervals to avoid accumulation and crushing. After the PCB boards in the loading box 1 are loaded, the workers replace the fully loaded loading box 1 to continue the inspection. Similarly, after the stacking box 51 is full, the workers replace the empty stacking box 51 to place the PCB boards.

[0031] Embodiment 2: Figures 1 to 3As shown, in order to ensure that the PCB board can be smoothly transported between the upper support bar 6 and the lower support bar 7, the spacing between the upper support bar 6 and the lower support bar 7 is greater than the thickness of the PCB board. After the PCB board is supported by the lower support bar 7, there is a certain gap between the PCB board and the upper support bar 6, resulting in the PCB board not being limited during the deflection of the flip assembly, and it is easy to deviate or even fall off during the flipping process. For this reason, on the basis of the first embodiment, a negative pressure cavity 9 is opened at one end of the flip shaft 4, an annular inner cavity 10 is provided in the flip disk 5, and the lower support bar 7 is connected to the flip plate 5. An adsorption chamber 11 is provided at one end of the disk 5, a first negative pressure hole 12 connected to the negative pressure chamber 9 is provided on the side wall of the flip shaft 4, a second negative pressure hole 13 and a third negative pressure hole 14 are provided on the inner wall and the outer wall of the flip disk 5, respectively, the two ends of the second negative pressure hole 13 are respectively connected to the first negative pressure hole 12 and the annular inner cavity 10, the two ends of the third negative pressure hole 14 are respectively connected to the annular inner cavity 10 and the adsorption chamber 11, a negative pressure adsorption hole 52 connected to the adsorption chamber 11 is provided on the lower support bar 7, one end of the flip shaft 4 is connected to a negative pressure mechanism, the negative pressure mechanism includes a vacuum pump and a negative pressure pipe 15, the negative pressure pipe 15 One end is connected to the vacuum pump, and the other end is rotatably adapted to the negative pressure chamber 9. The negative pressure tube 15 is fixed on the flip frame 2 through the U-shaped clamp 16. An elastic sealing sleeve 17 is fixed on the negative pressure tube 15. The elastic sealing sleeve 17 is adapted to the negative pressure chamber 9 through its own deformation interference fit. When the PCB board is transported to between the upper support bar 6 and the lower support bar 7, the vacuum pump is started, and negative pressure is generated in the negative pressure chamber 9 through the negative pressure tube 15. The negative pressure chamber 9 generates negative pressure in the annular cavity 10 through the first negative pressure hole 12 and the second negative pressure hole 13. The annular cavity 10 generates negative pressure in the adsorption cavity through the third negative pressure hole 14. 11 generates negative pressure, and the adsorption chamber 11 generates negative pressure through the negative pressure adsorption hole 52 to act on the PCB board, so that the PCB board is adsorbed and limited on the lower support bar 7, ensuring that the PCB board will not deviate or fall off when the PCB board is turned over, making the turning action of the PCB board more stable; the setting of the elastic sealing sleeve 17, on the one hand, eliminates the gap between the negative pressure tube 15 and the turning shaft 4, so that the negative pressure effect is not affected, and on the other hand, the turning shaft 4 can rotate normally to turn the PCB board over, and the turning shaft 4 only needs to overcome the friction force generated by the elastic sealing sleeve 17.

[0032] Embodiment 3: Based on Embodiment 2, Figures 1 to 6As shown, a photoelectric sensor 18 is arranged between the two flip disks 5, and the photoelectric sensor 18 is installed on the flip frame 2. The photoelectric sensor 18 is located below the conveying surface of the belt conveyor 3. The detection light of the photoelectric sensor 18 is vertically upward. The photoelectric sensor 18 is used to detect whether the PCB board is conveyed to between the upper support bar 6 and the lower support bar 7. The other end of the flip shaft 4 is connected to a driving mechanism. When the photoelectric sensor 18 detects the PCB board, the driving mechanism drives the flip shaft 4 to rotate. A toggle block 19 is arranged on the belt conveyor 3 in a group of conveying structures away from the loading box 1. The top surface height of the toggle block 19 is higher than the top surface height of the lower support bar 7 in the horizontal state. The photoelectric sensor 18 is used to judge whether the PCB board is delivered to the position. When the PCB board is delivered, the toggle block 19 is moved to the bottom of the belt conveyor 3. When it reaches between the upper support bar 6 and the lower support bar 7, the position of the PCB board is detected by the photoelectric sensor 18. At this time, the driving mechanism is started, and the driving mechanism drives the flip shaft 4 to rotate to turn over the PCB board. After the flip shaft 4 rotates 180°, the driving mechanism stops. After the PCB board is turned over successfully, at this time, the negative pressure pump stops, and then the belt conveyor 3 in the rear conveying structure drives the toggle block 19 to move. Since the top surface height of the toggle block 19 is higher than the top surface height of the lower support bar 7 in the horizontal state, the toggle block 19 pushes the PCB board to move, so as to push the PCB board from the lower support bar 7 to the rear conveying structure, so that the PCB board is separated from the conveying assembly, which is convenient for the gantry conveying mechanism to convey the turned PCB board to the PCB board detection equipment for detection on the other side.

[0033] Embodiment 4: The conventional drive shaft is basically rotated by a motor. However, the present invention requires the drive mechanism to be frequently stopped and started. Frequent starting and stopping of the motor is prone to damage. Therefore, based on the embodiment 3, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the driving mechanism includes a cylinder 20, a rack 21 and a gear 22, the gear 22 is mounted on the flip shaft 4, the cylinder body of the cylinder 20 is installed on the flip frame 2, the telescopic shaft of the cylinder 20 is connected to the rack 21, the rack 21 meshes with the gear 22, the extension and contraction of the cylinder 20 drives the rack 21 to move, the rack 21 drives the gear 22 to rotate, the gear 22 drives the flip shaft 4 to rotate, the flip shaft 4 drives the flip assembly to rotate 180°, after the PCB board is turned over, the flip shaft 4 deflects 180° in the opposite direction to drive the flip assembly to reset, relative to the motor, the cylinder 20 can be frequently extended and retracted, and the deflection angle of the flip shaft 4 can be stably and accurately controlled through the extension and contraction amount of the cylinder 20, so that the PCB board can be turned over smoothly.

[0034] Embodiment 5: During the conveying process of the PCB board on the conveying structure, a certain offset will occur, and the offset situation is complex and uncontrollable, and the accurate position of the PCB board cannot be determined, resulting in that after the gantry conveying mechanism conveys the PCB board to the PCB board detection device, the PCB board cannot accurately fall into the detection position, affecting the accuracy of the PCB board detection result. Therefore, based on the embodiment 4, as Figures 1 to 6As shown, a fine-tuning positioning mechanism is provided at the end of a group of conveying structures away from the PCB board detection equipment, and the fine-tuning positioning mechanism includes a positioning and loading platform 23, on which a horizontal positioning block 24 and a vertical positioning block 25 are fixed, and the upper surface of the positioning and loading platform 23 is smoothed to reduce the movement friction between the PCB board and the positioning and loading platform 23, so that the PCB board will not be worn during movement, and a horizontal pushing mechanism is provided above the positioning and loading platform 23, and the horizontal pushing mechanism is used to push the PCB board toward the vertical positioning block 25, and a vertical pushing mechanism is provided below the positioning and loading platform 23, and the vertical pushing mechanism is used to push the PCB board toward the horizontal positioning block 24, and the fine-tuning positioning mechanism also includes a base 32, and an adjusting cylinder 33 is vertically installed on the top of the base 32, and the telescopic shaft of the adjusting cylinder 33 is connected to the bottom of the positioning and loading platform 23, and a vertical mounting plate 34 is fixed on the base 32, and a second horizontal The cylinder body of the air cylinder 29 is installed on the vertical mounting plate 34, and the turned-over PCB board is transported to the positioning and loading platform 23 through the rear conveying structure. Then, the horizontal pushing mechanism and the vertical pushing mechanism are started, and the horizontal pushing mechanism pushes the PCB board to the vertical positioning block 25, so that the PCB board contacts the vertical positioning block to complete the vertical position positioning, and the vertical pushing mechanism pushes the PCB board to the horizontal positioning block 24, so that the PCB board contacts the horizontal positioning block 24 to complete the horizontal position positioning, thereby completing the position adjustment of the PCB board, so that the PCB board can still be accurately loaded on the inspection station of the PCB board inspection equipment after being turned over; in specific implementation, when the PCB board inspection equipment inspects one side of the PCB board, at the same time, the previous PCB board is turned over and the position is adjusted, and after the inspection of one side of the PCB board is completed, the PCB board is turned over, and the previous PCB board is loaded for the other side inspection, thereby shortening the inspection time and improving the inspection efficiency.
