[0044] The gong plate forming system and the gong plate forming method according to the embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0045] Reference Figure 1 The present invention aims to provide an embodiment of a gong plate forming system.

[0046] In this embodiment, the gong plate forming system mainly includes a gong plate forming machine, a positioning pin storage bin 120 and a pin installation assistant 150, wherein the gong plate forming machine and the positioning pin storage bin 120 can communicate and even be powered on, and the gong plate forming machine and the pin installation assistant 150 can communicate and even be powered on to establish information exchange.

[0047] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the gong plate forming machine can be connected to the positioning pin storage bin 120 by wire, which is suitable for the characteristic that the position of the positioning pin storage bin 120 changes little.

[0048] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the gong plate forming machine can be connected to the pin installation aid 150 wirelessly or by Bluetooth to adapt to the situation where the position of the pin installation aid 150 is changeable, so as to facilitate moving the pin installation aid 150 on the workbench 110 to install the locating pin, or to use it on different gong plate forming machines.

[0049] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, a server may be provided so that the grooving machine, the positioning pin storage 120 and the pin installation assistant 150 all interact with each other through server information to simplify line connection.

[0050] For the gong plate forming machine, the gong plate forming machine includes a machine body 100, a workbench 110 and other functional mechanisms. Since the present embodiment does not involve improvements to the gong plate forming machine itself, all structures of the gong plate forming machine are not described in detail, but this will not affect the understanding of the present embodiment.

[0051] The machine body 100 is provided with a data storage and a positioning pin storage 120 . The data storage stores positioning pin data, and the positioning pin data is associated with a circuit board processing program.

[0052] It should be noted that the locating pin data is associated with the circuit board processing program. This may mean that the circuit board processing program directly contains the used locating pin data, and the folder where the circuit board processing program is located synchronously stores the locating pin data and stores it in the data storage device. It may also mean that on the gong plate forming machine, for different circuit board processing programs, the programmer directly sets and stores the locating pin data.

[0053] Reference Figure 2 As for the positioning pin storage bin 120, the positioning pin storage bin 120 can be directly installed on the inner side or the outer side of the door of the machine body 100 for easy access.

[0054] The number of the positioning pin storage bins 120 disposed in the gong plate forming machine can be more than one, so as to be suitable for situations where there are many types of positioning pins and the consumption is large.

[0055] In this embodiment, the positioning pin storage 120 includes a plurality of storage locations 130 and a first detector 140 located at the bottom of the storage location 130 . The first detector 140 is used to detect whether there is a positioning pin in the storage location 130 .

[0056] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the storage location 130 can be made into a circular tube shape to reduce the occupied space and avoid the mixing of the positioning pins.

[0057] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, spring sheets may be provided on the inner surface of the storage position 130 , and a plurality of spring sheets may clamp the positioning pin to prevent the positioning pin from loosening or slipping.

[0058] As for the first detector 140 , the first detector 140 is located at the bottom of the inner side of the storage location 130 , and can use pressure, light or electromagnetic induction to confirm the existence of the positioning pin.

[0059] At the same time, the specifications of the positioning pins can be marked on the positioning pin storage library 120, and the specification information can be associated with the first detector 140 and recorded, thereby ensuring that the specifications of the positioning pins taken meet the requirements and avoiding taking the wrong ones.

[0060] That is, when a positioning pin is taken, the first detector 140 feeds back the specification information of the taken positioning pin, compares the specification information of the taken positioning pin with the specification information of the positioning pin required for processing the circuit board, and confirms whether it is taken incorrectly.

[0061] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the first detector 140 can be enabled to communicate with the controller of the gong plate forming machine to return the retrieval information of the positioning pin, and the controller of the gong plate forming machine makes a judgment.

[0062] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the storage locations 130 may be arranged in rows and columns for easy identification and retrieval.

[0063] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the storage location 130 may be provided with a first prompt light 370 . When a locating pin is selected, the gong plate forming machine communicates with the locating pin storage bin 120 to control the first prompt light 370 to light up to remind the user to take the locating pin from the storage location 130 .

[0064] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, a row of storage locations 130 may be provided with a first prompt light 370 to reduce manufacturing costs and, at the same time, reduce occupied space.

[0065] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the positioning pin storage library 120 has a borrowing status button, thereby facilitating borrowing by other machines, avoiding misreporting of information, and reducing the number of spare positioning pins, thereby lowering manufacturing costs.

[0066] Reference Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 The present invention also focuses on providing an embodiment of a pin installation assistant 150 so that the positioning pin can be installed into the mounting hole with high quality, reducing or even avoiding the deflection and skewness of the positioning pin.

[0067] The pinning assistant 150 includes a seat 160 and a knocking transmission assembly 170;

[0068] Specifically, the base body 160 has a first direction and a second direction perpendicular to each other. The base body 160 is provided with a plurality of guide holes 180. The plurality of guide holes 180 are arranged along the first direction. The guide holes 180 include an upper hole portion 190 and a lower hole portion 200. The lower hole portion 200 is used to position the locating pin. The upper hole portion 190 is provided with a second detector 210 for detecting the presence or absence of the locating pin.

[0069] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the diameters of the plurality of guide holes 180 may be arranged in sequence from large to small along the first direction, so as to facilitate finding and using the required guide holes 180 .

[0070] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the guide hole 180 may be provided with a second prompt light. When the locating pin is selected, the gong plate forming machine communicates with the pin installation assistant 150 to control the second prompt light to light up to remind the user to use the guide hole 180 to install the locating pin.

[0071] For the second detector 210 , the second detector 210 can use light or electromagnetic induction to confirm the existence of the positioning pin, and at the same time, avoid the second detector 210 from contacting the positioning pin, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the second detector 210 .

[0072] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the diameter of the upper hole portion 190 may be made larger than the diameter of the lower hole portion 200 , thereby preventing the second detector 210 from contacting and rubbing against the positioning pin during installation.

[0073] At the same time, the diameter of the upper hole portion 190 is greater than the diameter of the lower hole portion 200 , which is also conducive to meeting the needs of cooperating with the knocking transmission assembly 170 .

[0074] For the knocking transmission assembly 170, the knocking transmission assembly 170 includes a sliding frame 220 and a transmission rod 230. The sliding frame 220 is slidably connected to the base body 160. The sliding frame 220 slides along the first direction to the top of the guide hole 180. The sliding frame 220 is provided with a sliding hole 240 for accommodating the transmission rod 230 to slide up and down. The top end of the transmission rod 230 is used to receive the hammer knocking, and the bottom end of the transmission rod 230 is used to abut the positioning pin to press the positioning pin into the mounting hole on the workbench 110.

[0075] That is, when in use, the locating pin is installed into the guide hole 180 so that the bottom end of the locating pin falls into the lower hole portion 200, and then, the sliding frame 220 is moved so that the transmission rod 230 is directly above the locating pin, and then, the transmission rod 230 is hit with a hammer so that the transmission rod 230 presses down the locating pin, and the locating pin can be pressed into the installation hole.

[0076] Since the sliding frame 220 limits the transmission rod 230, the transmission rod 230 can only slide up and down. Therefore, there is no need to consider the angle between the force of the hammer hitting the transmission rod 230 and the vertical direction, so as to avoid the positioning pin from being skewed.

[0077] At the same time, the second detector 210 can communicate with the controller of the gong plate forming machine to return the installation information of the locating pin, ensuring that the locating pin uses the corresponding guide hole 180, avoiding the locating pin using a guide hole 180 with a larger diameter to increase the offset of the locating pin relative to the guide hole 180, and avoiding affecting the position accuracy of the locating pin.

[0078] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, when an incorrect guide hole 180 is used, the gong plate forming machine can communicate with the pin installation assistant 150 to control and provide feedback prompts to clarify the incorrect use of the guide hole 180, such as making the second prompt light flash to prompt the operator to replace the locating pin to the correct guide hole 180.

[0079] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the transmission rod 230 may include a rod body 260 and a cover body 250 located at the top end of the rod body 260 .

[0080] It is easy to understand that, by providing the cover body 250 , the area where the transmission rod 230 contacts the hammer can be enlarged in this embodiment, thereby reducing the risk of the hammer falling off due to misalignment. At the same time, a limiting structure is also provided to facilitate the installation of the reset spring 270 .

[0081] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the rod body 260 may be sleeved with a return spring 270 , the top end of the return spring 270 abuts against the cover body 250 , and the bottom end of the return spring 270 abuts against the sliding frame 220 .

[0082] It is easy to understand that, in this embodiment, by providing the return spring 270 , the transmission rod 230 can be automatically lifted up, so as to facilitate the next operation of striking and installing the positioning pin.

[0083] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the outer surface of the rod body 260 can be provided with an axial extension groove 280, and the sliding frame 220 can be provided with a limit pin 290 inserted into the axial extension groove 280, and the limit pin 290 cooperates with the axial extension groove 280 to limit the lifting and lowering stroke of the transmission rod 230.

[0084] It is easy to understand that this embodiment can limit the lifting and lowering range of the transmission rod 230 by setting the axial extension groove 280 and the limit pin 290, which can prevent the transmission rod 230 from flying upward out of the sliding hole 240, and can also prevent the transmission rod 230 from hitting the workbench 110 or damaging the lower hole part 200 when the positioning pin is not placed.

[0085] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the lower hole portion 200 may be provided with a standard sleeve to cope with wear during use and ensure that the hole diameter of the lower hole portion 200 meets the requirements.

[0086] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the transmission rod 230 may include a rod body 260 , which includes a first section 310 extending into the upper hole portion 190 , and a connecting groove 300 is provided between adjacent upper hole portions 190 , and a diameter of the first section 310 is greater than a width of the connecting groove 300 .

[0087] It is easy to understand that the present embodiment provides the connecting groove 300, which makes it easier for fingers to insert the positioning pin and avoids the positioning pin from overlapping the edge of the lower hole portion 200. The diameter of the first section 310 is larger than the width of the connecting groove 300, and ensures that the position of the transmission rod 230 corresponds to a positioning pin or guide hole 180, geometrically avoiding knocking the transmission assembly 170 before it moves into place.

[0088] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the rod body 260 may include a second section 320 connected to the first section 310, the diameter of the second section 320 is smaller than the width of the connecting groove 300, and one end of the second section 320 away from the first section 310 is used to abut against the positioning pin.

[0089] It is easy to understand that in this embodiment, by setting the first section 310 and the second section 320, in some embodiments, the first section 310 can cooperate with the upper hole portion 190 to reduce the deflection of the transmission rod 230 during the descent process, and the second section 320 is set to reduce the probability of the transmission rod 230 contacting the bottom surface of the upper hole portion 190, avoid lowering the height of the lower hole portion 200, and do not affect the positioning of the positioning pin.

[0090] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, a grating ruler for detecting the position of the sliding frame 220 may be provided between the sliding frame 220 and the base 160 .

[0091] It is easy to understand that, by setting a grating ruler, this embodiment can accurately measure the position of the sliding frame 220, ensure that the sliding frame 220 moves into place, and the measurement is accurate and does not rely on sensory confirmation.

[0092] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, an elastic pin for locating the position of the sliding frame 220 and a positioning pit cooperating with the elastic pin may be provided between the sliding frame 220 and the seat body 160 .

[0093] It is easy to understand that this embodiment uses the spring pin and the positioning pit, and can use the resistance or sound of the spring pin being stuck in the positioning groove to determine whether it has moved into place. It has a simple structure, low cost, and can easily lock the sliding frame 220.

[0094] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the sliding frame 220 can include a cross beam 330 and two side plates 340. The cross beam 330 is arranged along the second direction. The cross beam 330 is provided with a sliding hole 240. The two side plates 340 are integrally connected to the two ends of the cross beam 330. An upper slide rail structure 350 is provided between the cross beam 330 and the seat body 160. A side slide rail structure 360 ​​is provided between the side plate 340 and the seat body 160.

[0095] It is easy to understand that in this embodiment, by setting a cross beam 330 and two side plates 340, an upper slide rail structure 350 and a side slide rail structure 360 ​​are set between the sliding frame 220 and the seat body 160, so as to perform constraints in the second direction and the up and down directions to prevent the sliding frame 220 from swinging under force and affecting the movement trajectory of the transmission rod 230.

[0096] In some specific embodiments of the present invention, the seat body 160 may be made of plastic material to reduce weight and facilitate processing.

[0097] In summary, the present invention associates the locating pin data with the circuit board processing program by setting up a data storage device. Therefore, when the processing program is changed due to processing other circuit boards, the locating pin data can be obtained for verification and use to avoid incorrect use of the locating pin, such as the diameter of the locating pin used does not meet the requirements.

[0098] The present invention can detect the inventory and use of the positioning pins by setting up the positioning pin storage bin 120. In particular, when the processing program is changed, it can be detected whether the positioning pins taken meet the requirements to avoid taking the wrong ones.

[0099] The present invention sets a pin installation assistant 150, which includes a base body 160 and a knocking transmission assembly 170. Therefore, on the one hand, the guide hole 180 can be used to position the locating pin to ensure that the locating pin slides up and down to be installed in the installation hole to avoid the locating pin from being offset. On the other hand, the knocking transmission assembly 170 can be used to prevent the hammer from directly contacting the locating pin, so that the force direction of the locating pin is constant and in the up and down direction, thereby preventing the locating pin from being knocked crooked or installed crookedly.

[0100] The present invention also ensures the correct use of the guide hole 180 by providing the second detector 210, avoids the use of the guide hole 180 with a larger aperture for the locating pin, and prevents the clearance between the guide hole 180 and the locating pin from being too large to affect the quality of installing the locating pin.

[0101] By setting the first detector 140 and the second detector 210, the present invention can also feed back the positioning pin taking information and installation information to the gong plate forming machine, ensuring that the positioning pin is taken and installed correctly before running the processing program to ensure the circuit board processing quality.

[0102] Reference Figure 6 The present invention also aims to provide an embodiment of a gong plate forming method.

[0103] In this embodiment, the following steps are performed:

[0104] Step S001, store the circuit board processing program containing the positioning pin data into the data storage device of the gong plate forming machine, and set it as the current running program. The current running program is in a locked state, which means that it still needs to be adjusted or confirmed and cannot be run directly.
