[0002] In order to ensure good contact effect of electronic products, the pins will be tinned during processing to prevent the pins from being oxidized. Traditionally, the tinning treatment of electronic product pins is done by manually soaking the pins in a flux container and a tin furnace to complete the tinning treatment. After the pins are tinned, the product is placed on the carrier. This operation method has the disadvantages of low tinning efficiency, poor tinning accuracy and high labor intensity for workers.

[0003] Later, in order to reduce the labor intensity of workers, the market began to use linear rails to transport electronic products and use robots to clamp electronic products for tinning. However, before tinning the product, it is necessary to dip it in flux first, and then tin it. After tinning, the tinned product needs to be electrically tested. Only after the electrical test is completed can the material be unloaded.

[0019] 2. The present invention realizes the loading operation through the loading hollow rotating module at the loading station, and in the loading process, multi-station loading is realized by arranging multiple rotating cylinders on the rotating platform. After the loading of one station is completed, the other rotating cylinder that needs to be loaded is rotated to the loading station through the rotation direction of the rotating platform. The rotating cylinder and the welding rod clamp holding the welding rod group that have completed loading can enter the next process, and the welding rod group on the welding rod clamp is obtained through the soldering gantry module. After the soldering gantry module is obtained, the rotating platform continues to rotate and can be transferred to the loading station for loading.

[0041] See also Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 8The structure of the transfer module 8 is the same as that of the feeding hollow rotating module, including a rotating platform 205, at least one rotating cylinder 206 and a welding rod clamp 207. The rotating platform 205 is provided with a rotating drive assembly for controlling the rotation of the rotating platform 205, which is realized by a rotating servo motor 208 in this embodiment. A rotating cylinder fixing part 209 is fixed on the rotating platform 205, and a rotating cylinder 206 is fixedly connected to the rotating cylinder fixing part 209.

When the loading hollow rotating module clamps the welding rod group 9 and rotates to the loading position, the centering cylinders 2131 are executed to align the position of the welding rod group 9 between the loading hollow rotating module and the flux pool 301. The purpose of the carrier centering module 213 is to set the welding rod group 9 in the middle of the welding rod clamp 207. After the loading hollow rotating module clamps the welding rod group 9 and rotates to a fixed position, the rotating cylinder 206 rotates 180 degrees, and the welding rod group 9 drives the product on it to rotate 180 degrees. After the rotation, the product is downward, and the electromagnet 211 releases the welding rod group 9 at this time, and the welding rod group 9 is centered through the carrier centering module 213.

[0051] When the soldering gantry module 7 moves with the welding rod group 9 and completes the soldering flux and tinning operations, the L-shaped fixed rod 704 moves to the transfer module 8 under the action of the horizontal moving slide rail 701 and the longitudinal moving slide rail 702, and the rotating platform 205 of the transfer module 8 rotates the welding rod clamp 207 to the corresponding position, and the welding rod clamp 207 opens outward. After the L-shaped fixed rod 704 moves over the welding rod clamp 207, the welding rod group 9 is directly transferred to the welding rod clamp 207 under the action of the welding rod clamp 207. During the transfer process, the limit cylinder 705 shrinks and moves away from the L-shaped fixed rod 704. After the welding rod clamp 207 clamps the welding rod group 9, the electromagnet 211 is energized to realize that the welding rod clamp 207 fixes the welding rod group 9. At this time, the rotating platform 205 is rotated 180 degrees, and the rotating platform 205 drives the welding rod group 9 after tinning to the automatic electrical measurement station 5. The electric measuring cylinder 501 extends upward, driving the electric measuring carrier plate 502 and the probe group 503 thereon to move upward, so that the probe group 503 contacts the product for electric measuring. After the electric measuring is completed, the electric measuring cylinder 501 contracts downward. At this time, the rotating cylinder 206 rotates 180 degrees with the welding rod group 9, and the product faces upward, and the product is unloaded through the robot unloading module 601.
