Description

[0002] With the rapid development of electronic products, the integration and complexity of circuit boards have gradually increased, which has put forward higher requirements on the installation accuracy and efficiency of electronic components. As an important temperature sensing element, NTC thermistors are widely used in many fields such as temperature control and power management. In the production process, accurately and firmly soldering NTC thermistors to printed circuit boards (PCB boards) is a key step to ensure product performance and stability.

[0003] Traditional NTC thermistor welding mainly relies on manual operation or semi-automatic equipment. This method is not only labor-intensive, but also prone to problems such as uneven welding and inaccurate positioning, which in turn leads to unstable welding quality. In addition, with the strengthening trend of miniaturization of electronic products, the operating space in the welding process has become increasingly narrow, and the difficulty of manual operation has also increased. After welding, the resistors need to be tested manually or with simple equipment, and defective products need to be separated, which further reduces production efficiency.

It is explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0044] The embodiment of the present application discloses an integrated thermistor automatic welding system.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 The thermistor automatic welding integrated system includes a machine base 1, a feeding track 11 and a defective track 12, and the feeding track 11 and the defective track 12 are arranged in parallel on the top surface of the machine base 1. Figure 2 The top surface of the machine base 1 is also provided with a fixed platform 23 and a material plate cutting mechanism 2, the fixed platform 23 and the material plate cutting mechanism 2 are located on one side of the feeding track 11, a resistor material plate 13 is fixedly mounted on the fixed platform 23, the material plate cutting mechanism 2 is used to cut and grab the resistor material plate 13, a first gantry 15 is provided between the material plate cutting mechanism 2 and the feeding track 11, and a first transfer module 16 is provided on the first gantry 15.

[0046] Reference Figure 3The fixed platform 23 is connected with an x-axis motion module 24 and a y-axis motion module 25, wherein the x-axis motion module 24 is arranged on the y-axis motion module 25, and the fixed platform 23 is arranged on the x-axis motion module 24. By controlling the x-axis motion module 24 and the y-axis motion module 25, the material plate cutting mechanism 2 can be controlled to cut the resistors on the resistor material plate 13 one by one. The material plate cutting mechanism 2 includes an upper cutting component 21 and a lower cutting component 22, wherein the upper cutting component 21 is arranged on the first gantry 15 and is located above the fixed platform 23, and the lower cutting component 22 is located below the fixed platform 23.

[0047] Reference Figure 4 The upper cutting assembly 21 includes a first cylinder 211, an upper cutting fixing plate 212 and an upper cutting mounting plate 213. The first cylinder 211 is fixedly mounted on the upper cutting fixing plate 212. The upper cutting mounting plate 213 is slidably arranged on the upper cutting fixing plate 212 along the vertical direction. The piston rod of the first cylinder 211 is fixedly connected to the top of the upper cutting mounting plate 213. An upper cutting slider 215 and an upper cutting pressing block 214 are arranged on the upper cutting mounting plate 213. The upper cutting slider 215 is slidably arranged on the upper cutting mounting plate 213 along the vertical direction. The bottom end of the upper cutting slider 215 is connected to a vertically arranged straw 216. The interior of the upper cutting pressing block 214 is hollow, and the straw 216 is slidably arranged inside the upper cutting pressing block 214. The bottom end of the straw 216 and the bottom end of the upper cutting pressing block 214 are located on the same horizontal plane. Figure 5 The bottom end of the suction pipe 216 is provided with a recess 219 for the resistor to be placed in. The upper cutting fixed plate 212 is also fixedly mounted with a second cylinder 218, and the upper cutting mounting plate 213 is vertically provided with a return spring 217, the top end of the return spring 217 is connected to the piston rod of the second cylinder 218, and the bottom end of the return spring 217 is connected to the side of the upper cutting slide block 215.

[0048] Reference Figure 4 The lower cutting assembly 22 includes a lower cutting bottom plate 223, a lower cutting middle plate 222 and a lower cutting top plate 221 which are arranged in sequence from bottom to top. The lower cutting bottom plate 223 is fixed by four supporting columns 224. A lifting cylinder 225 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the lower cutting bottom plate 223. The piston rod of the lifting cylinder 225 passes through the lower cutting bottom plate 223 and is connected to a vertically arranged lower cutting punch 226. A lower cutting fixed block 227 is arranged on the top surface of the lower cutting top plate 221. The interior of the lower cutting fixed block 227 is arranged hollow. The lower cutting punch 226 is slidably arranged inside the lower cutting fixed block 227. The top end of the lower cutting punch 226 and the top end of the lower cutting fixed block 227 are located on the same horizontal plane. Figure 5 , the top of the lower cutting punch 226 has the same shape as the thermistor. Figure 3Based on the above design, in practice, when the resistor material plate 13 is cut, the first cylinder 211 is first driven to drive the upper cutting block 214 to press the resistor material plate 13, and then the lifting cylinder 225 is driven to drive the lower cutting punch 226 to punch the resistor material plate 13 upward. The lower cutting punch 226 brings the punched resistor into the upper cutting block 214. Due to the setting of the reset spring 217 and the upper cutting slider 215, the suction pipe 216 will be squeezed upward. At this time, the punched resistor is just located in the clearance groove 219 of the suction pipe 216. The suction pipe 216 is now turned on to vacuum and suck the punched resistor. Then the lifting cylinder 225 drives the lower cutting punch 226 to retract, and the upper cutting assembly 21 also moves upward as a whole. Due to the reset spring 217 restoring the deformation and driving the suction pipe 216 to reset, the punched resistor is finally located at the outlet of the upper cutting block 214. The coordinated use of the upper cutting component 21 and the lower cutting component 22 ensures the accurate cutting of the resistor material plate 13. The upper cutting pressing block 214 can firmly press the material plate before cutting, while the lower cutting punch 226 accurately punches the resistor out of the material plate, ensuring the cutting accuracy. Through the synergistic effect of the first cylinder 211 and the lifting cylinder 225, the upper cutting component 21 can not only cut the resistor, but also accurately grasp and shift the cut resistor to the subsequent process through the vacuum adsorption function of the straw 216, thereby reducing manual intervention and improving production efficiency. The sliding design of the cutting mechanism allows the upper cutting slider 215 and the straw 216 to slide in the vertical direction, and cooperates with the deformation recovery function of the reset spring 217, so that the cutting mechanism can adapt to resistor material plates 13 of different thicknesses or sizes, and has certain flexibility and adjustability.

[0049] Reference Figure 4The top surface of the lower cutting middle plate 222 is provided with a lower cutting mounting plate 229 that can slide in the vertical direction. The lower cutting mounting plate 229 is sleeved on the lower cutting punch 226 and is fixedly connected thereto. A buffer spring 228 is vertically provided between the lower cutting mounting plate 229 and the lower cutting top plate 221. The top of the buffer spring 228 is connected to the bottom surface of the lower cutting top plate 221, and the bottom of the buffer spring 228 is connected to the top surface of the lower cutting mounting plate 229. The role of the buffer spring 228 in this design is mainly to reduce the impact force generated during the buffer cutting process and protect the stability and accuracy of the cutting mechanism. Specifically, during the cutting process of the resistor material plate 13, when the lower cutting punch 226 punches the resistor material plate 13 upward under the drive of the jacking cylinder 225, a large impact force will be generated. The buffer spring 228 is arranged between the lower cutting mounting plate 229 and the lower cutting top plate 221, and can absorb a part of the impact energy when the punch is punching, thereby reducing the direct impact on the cutting components during the cutting process, avoiding damage to parts or reduced cutting accuracy due to excessive impact force. At the same time, the buffer spring 228 also helps the lower cutting mounting plate 229 to be repositioned stably, ensuring the smooth progress of the entire cutting process and the accurate positioning of the resistor after cutting.

[0050] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The top surface of the base 1 is also provided with a welding platform 3 and a welding mechanism 4, which are located on one side of the feeding track 11. Figure 6 and Figure 7 The welding platform 3 is used to fix the PCB board 14 and the cut resistors, and the welding mechanism 4 is used to weld the punched resistors to the PCB board 14. Figure 3 The first transfer module 16 is used to place the PCB board 14 on the welding platform 3 , and the welding platform 3 and the welding mechanism 4 are both located directly below the first gantry 15 .

[0051] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 The welding platform 3 includes a welding drive module and a welding bottom plate 31 arranged on the welding drive module. A welding top plate 32 is connected to the top of the welding bottom plate 31. A limiting groove 324 for placing the PCB board 14 is opened on the top surface of the welding top plate 32. The limiting groove 324 is a rectangular groove. A first limiting cylinder 321 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the welding top plate 32 at one side of the short side of the limiting groove 324. A second limiting cylinder 322 and a third limiting cylinder 323 are fixedly installed on the top surface of the welding top plate 32 at one side of the long side of the limiting groove 324. Figure 3, the first transfer module 16 moves the PCB board 14 into the limiting groove 324, and then drives the first limiting cylinder 321, the second limiting cylinder 322 and the third limiting cylinder 323, so that the piston rods of the three can fix the PCB board 14 from two directions, thereby ensuring the stability of the PCB board 14 during subsequent welding. The design of the limiting groove 324 ensures the initial positioning of the PCB board 14 on the welding platform 3, and the piston rods of the first, second and third limiting cylinders 323 clamp the PCB board 14 from different directions, which can further accurately fix the position of the PCB board 14. This multi-point limiting mechanism can prevent any movement or deviation of the PCB board 14 during the welding process, ensuring the accuracy of the welding position.

[0052] Reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 A third cylinder 33 is fixedly mounted on the top surface of the welding bottom plate 31, and a piston rod of the third cylinder 33 is connected to a horizontally arranged cover plate 34, which is located above the limiting groove 324. Figure 8 , by driving the third cylinder 33, the piston rod of the third cylinder 33 can drive the cover plate 34 to open or cover the limit groove 324. The top surface of the cover plate 34 is provided with a placement groove 341, and a placement through hole 342 of the same size as the thermistor is provided in the placement groove 341. When the cover plate 34 covers the limit groove 324, the placement through hole 342 connects the limit groove 324 with the outside. The top surface of the cover plate 34 is also fixedly installed with a fourth cylinder 35 and a rotating base 37. The rotating base 37 is hingedly arranged in the placement groove 341. A connecting rod 36 is arranged between the rotating base 37 and the fourth cylinder 35. One end of the connecting rod 36 is hingedly connected to the piston rod of the fourth cylinder 35, and the other end of the connecting rod 36 is hingedly connected to the rotating base 37. Two sheet-like pressing plates 38 are symmetrically installed at one end of the rotating base 37 away from the connecting rod 36. The fourth cylinder 35 drives the connecting rod 36 so that the rotating base 37 drives the sheet-like pressing plate 38 to press directly above the placement through hole 342. In the implementation, after the PCB board 14 is placed, the third cylinder 33 is driven to drive the cover plate 34 to cover the limit groove 324, and the PCB board 14 is placed. Figure 3, at this time, the upper cutting assembly 21 places the cut resistor in the placement through hole 342, and then drives the fourth cylinder 35 so that the sheet pressure plate 38 can press the resistor on the PCB board 14. The placement through hole 342 on the cover plate 34 is precisely matched with the size of the thermistor, ensuring that each resistor can be accurately aligned with the limit groove 324 when placed. This can avoid inaccurate placement or offset of the resistor, thereby improving the accuracy of welding. The cover plate 34 can be opened or closed by the drive of the third cylinder 33 to cover the limit groove 324. When the cover plate 34 is closed, the placement through hole 342 not only protects the resistor in the limit groove 324, but also applies uniform pressure to the resistor by rotating the base 37 and the sheet pressure plate 38, ensuring that the resistor will not move or fall off during the welding process. This clamping and pressing mechanism ensures the stability of the resistor during the welding process. In addition, the design of the sheet pressure plate 38 allows it to not occupy space in the welding area while pressing the resistor. Since the sheet-like pressing plate 38 is far away from the welding point during welding, this design avoids welding difficulties or incomplete welding that may be caused by the existence of the pressing plate, thereby ensuring smooth welding work.

[0053] Reference Figure 6 and Fig. 9 The welding mechanism 4 includes a welding frame 41 and a welding linear module 42 arranged on the welding frame 41. The welding linear module 42 is arranged vertically. A welding plate 46 is arranged on the welding linear module 42. The welding plate 46 is C-shaped as a whole. A welding block 43 is slidably arranged between the top plate and the bottom plate of the welding plate 46. A welding needle 45 is clamped at the bottom end of the welding block 43. The welding needle 45 is a tungsten rod welding needle 45. The side wall of the welding block 43 is also fixedly connected with a fume collector 44, and the fume collector 44 is located above the welding needle 45. In implementation, the welding drive module drives the welding platform 3 to move below the welding needle 45, and then the welding linear module 42 drives the welding needle 45 to move downward to weld the resistor. The welding fume generated during the welding process may have a negative impact on the health of the operator and the welding quality. The fume collector 44 arranged on the side wall of the welding block 43 effectively collects and removes the fume generated during the welding process, ensuring the cleanliness and safety of the working environment while protecting the welding quality.

[0054] Reference Figure 6 and Fig. 9, the top of the welding block 43 is suspended on the welding plate 46. Specifically, a countersunk hole 49 is provided on the top surface of the welding plate 46. A vertically arranged bolt 47 is connected to the top of the welding block 43. The top of the bolt 47 is stuck in the countersunk hole 49, and the bottom of the bolt 47 passes through the countersunk hole 49 and is threadedly connected to the top surface of the welding block 43. A pressure sensor 48 is also installed on the welding plate 46. The pressure sensor 48 is arranged between the top surface of the welding block 43 and the bottom surface of the welding plate 46. In implementation, the setting of the pressure sensor 48 can monitor the pressure applied by the welding block 43 on the welding point in real time and ensure that it meets the set range. Since the sliding design of the welding block 43 allows the welding block 43 to move moderately during the welding process, the sensor can detect this change and adjust the pressure of the welding block 43 by controlling the welding linear module 42 to ensure stable welding quality. In addition, the sliding setting allows the welding block 43 to be adjusted in position during the welding process, which is very important for processing welding points of different sizes and positions. Monitoring by the pressure sensor 48 ensures that the pressure remains within the correct range during the adjustment process, further ensuring the accuracy and consistency of welding.

[0055] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The top surface of the machine base 1 is also provided with a resistance test module 7 and a second gantry 17, and the second gantry 17 is provided with a second transfer module 18. The resistance test module 7 is arranged on the feeding track 11, and the resistance test module 7 is used to perform resistance test on the PCB board 14 after welding, and the second transfer module 18 is used to move the PCB board 14 to the defective track 12. Fig.10 After the resistor is welded on the PCB board 14, the PCB board 14 is sent back to the feeding track 11 through the first transfer module 16 again, and then the resistance test module 7 arranged on the feeding track 11 is used to test the resistance of the PCB board 14. The resistance test module 7 tests the resistance test points on the bottom surface of the PCB board 14 through the probe of the prior art. Since the structure of the resistance test part is the same as that of the prior art, this application will not be described in detail. The resistance test module 7 is connected to a multimeter, and the resistance value is determined by reading the multimeter. If the resistance value is normal, the PCB board 14 is allowed to continue to be transported on the feeding track 11. If the resistance value is abnormal, the PCB board 14 is moved to the defective track 12 through the second transfer module 18.

[0056] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The top surface of the base 1 is also provided with a cleaning tool 6 and a cleaning box 5, which are located on one side of the feeding track 11. Fig.11A third gantry 19 is provided between the cleaning fixture 6 and the feeding track 11, and a third transfer module 191 is provided on the third gantry 19. The third transfer module 191 is used to move the PCB board 14 to the cleaning fixture 6. In practice, if the resistance test of the PCB board 14 after welding is normal, the PCB board 14 is moved to the cleaning fixture 6 by the third transfer module 191. The cleaning fixture 6 in the present application is specifically a tray. Then the cleaning fixture 6 is driven to drive the PCB board 14 into the cleaning box 5 for cleaning and drying. After cleaning and drying, the PCB board 14 is sent back to the feeding track 11 by the third transfer module 191 again, thereby completing all welding operations.

[0057] In summary, the present application greatly improves production efficiency through the integrated process of automated cutting, resistor placement, welding, testing and cleaning, and solves the accuracy problem in traditional manual operation through precise cutting and welding control. The system accurately cuts the resistor material plate 13 through the upper cutting component 21 and the lower cutting component 22. The upper cutting component 21 is driven by the first cylinder 211 and is equipped with an upper cutting pressure block 214 and a straw 216 to ensure accurate cutting and grasping of the resistor. The lower cutting component 22 includes a lifting cylinder 225 and a lower cutting punch 226, which can reduce the impact force during the punching process and protect the stability of the cutting mechanism. The setting of the buffer spring 228 further absorbs the impact force and ensures the cutting accuracy. The welding platform 3 includes a plurality of limit cylinders and a cover plate 34 for fixing the PCB board 14 and accurately placing the resistor. The welding block 43 in the welding mechanism 4 is designed to be a sliding setting and is equipped with a pressure sensor 48 to monitor the welding pressure in real time and adjust the pressure of the welding block 43 to ensure the stability of the welding quality. The smoke dust collector 44 is installed on the side wall of the welding block 43, which can effectively collect and remove the smoke during the welding process, protect the operating environment and welding quality. After welding, the PCB board 14 is tested for resistance by the resistance test module 7. The test result determines the destination of the PCB board 14: qualified PCB boards 14 enter the cleaning tool 6 for cleaning and drying, and unqualified PCB boards 14 are sent to the defective product track 12. The cleaning tool 6 is used to send the cleaned PCB board 14 into the cleaning box 5, and the cleaning and drying treatment is carried out in the cleaning box 5.

[0058] In practice, the automated cutting, welding, testing and cleaning processes reduce manual intervention and ensure the accuracy and consistency of each step of the operation. Through precise cutting and welding control, the accuracy problem in traditional manual operation is solved and production efficiency is improved. The sliding design of the welding block 43 and the monitoring of the pressure sensor 48 enable the pressure in the welding process to be accurately controlled, ensuring the consistency of welding quality. The smoke dust collector 44 effectively handles the welding smoke and maintains a good operating environment. The PCB board 14 after welding is tested by the resistance test module 7, and unqualified products are identified and processed in time, which reduces the outflow of defective products and improves the quality of the final product. The design of the cutting mechanism allows the processing of resistor plates 13 of different thicknesses or sizes, and has strong adaptability and flexibility.
