[0044] refer to Figures 1 to 4 A PCB automatic packaging method according to an embodiment of the present invention is described.

[0045] like Figure 1 As shown, the PCB automatic packaging method according to the first aspect of the present invention includes:

[0046] S1: Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the logistics and information flow of the PCB board are obtained and bound, the logistics and information flow of the PCB board are entered, the entered logistics and information flow are compared with the batch ID, and the PCB board is transported by an automatic guided vehicle 20 to ensure that the correct batch of materials enters the packaging process;

[0047] Supply the PCB boards to the loading station 100 one by one, count the PCB boards on the loading station 100 automatically in turn, obtain the product information of each PCB board at the same time, and transfer the counted PCB boards to the transfer and docking mechanism 140 in turn for stacking until the set number is reached;

[0048] Specifically, during the stacking process of the PCB boards, a spacer paper is placed between two adjacent PCB boards to reduce direct contact between the PCB boards.

[0049] S2: Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the stacked PCB boards are transferred to the board output station 150, the product information of all PCB boards on the board output station 150 is converted into a two-dimensional code format, the identification two-dimensional code is obtained and recorded in the system, and the identification two-dimensional code is output to the stacked PCB boards;

[0050] Specifically, outputting the identification two-dimensional code to the stacked PCB boards includes: printing the identification two-dimensional code on a label, placing the label on the stacked PCB boards, and bundling the label with the stacked PCB boards.

[0051] S3: Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the PCB board on the board output station 150 is transported to the scanning station 240, the identification QR code is scanned and the corresponding product information is obtained, the corresponding product information is entered, and the entered product information is compared with the batch ID in the system to ensure that the product information of all PCB boards on the scanning station 240 is consistent with the batch information in the system;

[0052] Specifically, the PCB board on the board output station 150 enters the scanning station 240 after being turned and limited.

[0053] S4: Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the stacked PCB boards are inner-packed, and the identification QR code is output to the inner packaging to ensure that the product information on the inner packaging is consistent with the product information of the corresponding PCB board;

[0054] Specifically, outputting the identification QR code to the inner package includes: printing the identification QR code on an inner package label, and pasting the inner package label at a designated position on the inner package, ensuring that the inner package label is pasted accurately and is not easy to fall off.

[0055] S5: Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, scan the identification QR code on the inner package to obtain product information, enter the product information, and compare the entered product information with the batch ID to ensure that the product information on the inner package is consistent with the batch information of the product;

[0056] S6: Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the PCB board is packaged externally, and the identification QR code is output to the external packaging to ensure that the product information on the external packaging is consistent with the product information of all products in the inner packaging;

[0057] Specifically, outputting the identification QR code to the outer packaging includes: printing the identification QR code on an outer packaging label, pasting the outer packaging label at a designated position on the outer packaging, and ensuring that the outer packaging label is pasted accurately and is not easy to fall off;

[0058] Specifically, after the identification QR code is output to the outer packaging, the outer packaging products are weighed, the outer packaging products that fail to meet the weighing standards are identified and removed, and the unqualified outer packaging products are temporarily stored;

[0059] Specifically, after the weighing of the outer packaging product is completed, the outer packaging product is folded and sealed. After the horizontal folding and sealing is completed, the outer packaging product is rotated and the corners of the outer packaging product are sealed. After the horizontal corners are sealed, the direction of the outer packaging product is adjusted and the outer packaging product is packaged horizontally. After the horizontal packaging is completed, the direction of the outer packaging product is adjusted and the outer packaging product is packaged vertically.

[0060] S7: Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the logistics and information flow of the outer packaging products are obtained and bound, the logistics and information flow of the outer packaging products are entered, and the outer packaging products are transported into the warehouse using an automatic guided vehicle 20 to achieve real-time monitoring of the product location and storage status.

[0061] By outputting identification QR codes on PCB boards, inner packaging and outer packaging, the product information is successfully associated with the corresponding products, and scanning, recording and comparing are performed in each production link, effectively avoiding the occurrence of information confusion and mismatch problems, ensuring that the product information on the inner and outer packaging is consistent with the batch information in the system, providing a reliable basis for traceability after product production is completed, strengthening product information management and control, and helping to promptly discover and correct potential problems during the production process, thereby improving the level of product quality management.

[0062] The present PCB automatic packaging method is described below with reference to a specific embodiment.

[0063] like Figure 2 As shown, the loading station 100, the inner packaging station 200 and the outer packaging station 300 are arranged in a clockwise direction.

[0064] S1: Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the PCB board is transported out of the first storage location 10 by an automatic guided vehicle 20, and the logistics and information flow of the material are obtained and then bound, and the logistics and information flow of the PCB board are entered, and the entered logistics and information flow are compared with the batch ID before the PCB board is transported to the loading station 100 to ensure that the correct batch of PCB boards enters the packaging process. After the automatic guided vehicle 20 places the PCB board on the loading station 100, a robotic arm is used to remove the PCB board at the loading station 100, as shown in FIG. Figure 1 As shown, the PCB boards that meet the quality standards are transferred to the board receiving station 120 on the right, and the PCB boards that do not meet the quality standards are transferred to the first rejecting station 110 on the left.

[0065] After the PCB boards are rejected, the paper separator placement process begins. A robotic arm is used to place the paper separator on the paper separator station 130 on the transfer and docking mechanism 140. Then, a PCB board is picked up on the board receiving station 120 and transferred to the paper separator on the transfer and docking mechanism 140. Then, another paper separator is picked up on the paper separator station 130, transferred to the transfer and docking mechanism 140 and covered on the PCB board. This is repeated to set the PCB board and the paper separator at intervals, thereby preventing the surface of the PCB board from being scratched, contaminated or otherwise damaged during transportation. During the paper separator placement process, each transferred PCB board is counted, and a scanning device is used to scan the QR code on the PCB board to obtain the product information of each PCB board. The counting stops when the PCB boards on the transfer and docking mechanism 140 are stacked to a set number.

[0066] It should be noted that the automatic guided vehicle 20, also known as AGV, is an automated handling equipment that can autonomously operate and carry goods according to a preset path and program without manual driving. This unmanned handling method can improve efficiency and reduce labor costs. Among them, logistics is the actual transportation of goods, and information flow is the information record related to the goods. Therefore, during the logistics operation process, the system will record relevant information, such as the quantity, type, batch, etc. of the goods, to ensure the consistency of logistics and information flow.

[0067] S2: Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the product information of multiple PCB boards obtained during the counting process is converted into a QR code format, an identification QR code is obtained and recorded in the system, and the identification QR code is printed on a label using a printing device. When the stacked PCB boards are transferred to the board output station 150, the label will automatically fall on the stacked PCB boards, and then the label and the stacked PCB boards are bundled with a transparent cable tie using a binding device.

[0068] S3: Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the bundled PCB boards are output from the board output station 150. Under the action of the first steering mechanism 210, the PCB boards are horizontally rotated 90°, and the first conveying mechanism 220 conveys the turned PCB boards to the right, wherein the output end of the first conveying mechanism 220 is provided with a first positioning mechanism 230, and the first positioning mechanism 230 limits the position of the moving PCB boards so that the PCB boards are accurately conveyed to the designated position of the scanning station 240. When the stacked PCB boards are conveyed to the scanning station 240, the first scanning mechanism 241 scans the identification QR code bundled at the upper end of the PCB boards, obtains and enters the product information of all PCBs on the scanning station 240, and then compares the entered product information with the batch ID in the system to ensure that the product information of all PCB boards on the scanning station 240 is consistent with the batch information in the system.

[0069] Specifically, the first conveying mechanism 220 is a power belt.

[0070] S4: Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the PBC board is transported to the inner packaging station 200, and is vacuum-packaged by the inner packaging mechanism 250, and the identification QR code is printed on the inner package label, and then the inner package labeling mechanism 260 is used to paste the inner package label at a designated position on the inner package, so that the inner package label is accurately pasted and not easy to fall off, thereby ensuring that the product information on the inner package is consistent with the product information of the corresponding PCB board;

[0071] S5: Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, the second conveying mechanism 310 conveys the inner packaging product to the outer packaging station 300, and the second scanning mechanism 330 scans the identification QR code on the inner packaging, obtains the product information of the corresponding PCB board and enters it, and compares the entered product information with the batch ID to ensure that the product information on the inner packaging is consistent with the batch information of the product.

[0072] Specifically, the second conveying mechanism 310 is a roller conveyor.

[0073] S6: Figure 2 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, an opening mechanism 320 is used to open the outer box, the PCB board is loaded into the outer box, the QR code is printed on the outer packaging label, and an outer packaging labeling mechanism 340 is used to stick the outer packaging label to a designated position on the outer packaging, so that the outer packaging label is accurately pasted and not easy to fall off, thereby ensuring the consistency of the product information on the outer packaging with the product information of all products in the outer packaging.

[0074] After the identification QR code is output to the outer packaging, the third conveying mechanism 420 conveys the outer packaging product to the weighing station 400, and the outer packaging product is weighed by the weighing mechanism 410 to identify and record the weight data of each product. When an outer packaging product that fails the weighing is identified, the waste rejection mechanism 430 rejects it and separates it to the second rejection station for temporary storage.

[0075] After weighing, the outer packaging product is guided to the folding station 500, and the folding mechanism 510 on the folding station 500 automatically folds the outer box top cover and seals it. After the folding process, the outer packaging product is rotated 90° by the second steering mechanism 520 and moved to the corner sealing station 600. The corner sealing mechanism 610 performs a box sealing operation on the corners of the outer packaging product to ensure that the corners of the outer packaging product are firmly sealed to prevent the outer packaging product from being damaged or deformed during transportation and storage. Subsequently, under the guidance of the second positioning mechanism 620, the outer packaging product is conveyed to the horizontal packaging station 700 in the correct direction, and the horizontal packaging mechanism 710 performs horizontal packaging on the outer packaging product. The outer packaging product is rotated 90° again by the third steering mechanism 720 and enters the longitudinal packaging station 800. The longitudinal packaging mechanism 810 longitudinally packs it. After the longitudinal packaging is completed, the outer packaging product is smoothly output through the buffer conveying mechanism 820.

[0076] Specifically, the third conveying mechanism 420 is a roller conveyor.

[0077] S7: Figure 2 and Figure 6 As shown, the logistics and information flow of the outer packaging product are obtained and bound, the logistics and information flow of the outer packaging product are entered, and the outer packaging product is transported to the second storage location 30 using an automatic guided vehicle 20 to achieve real-time monitoring of the product position and storage status.

[0078] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments, and various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
