Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of automatic plug-in, and in particular to an FPC board clamping and adsorption device and a working method thereof. Background Art

[0002] FPC is a flexible circuit board, also known as "flexible circuit board", "flexible circuit board", "flexible circuit board" or "flexible circuit board, flexible circuit board". FPC is often used in places where repeated bending and the connection of some small parts are required, such as the bending part of the flip cover of a flip phone, the part where the printer connects to the print head, various modules, etc. (such as the connection between the display module and the motherboard).

[0003] In automatic plug-in equipment, customers often switch between different production models, resulting in changes in the position of the piano cover for different products, and thus the need to quickly adjust the clamping position. The existing technology generally uses a combination of linear rails and sliders to adjust the clamping position of the FPC board, but it is generally only applicable to one or several sizes of FPC boards, and cannot adapt to multi-size, special-shaped and large-size FPC boards. If cross-interchange is performed by removing the machine screws, it is relatively time-consuming to switch models. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides an FPC board clamping and adsorption device, which integrates vacuum adsorption and clamping structures. When switching models, the clamping structure can be quickly adjusted to match the piano cover position of the FPC board, thereby reducing model switching time and improving customer productivity.

[0005] A technical solution adopted by the present invention is:

[0006] An FPC board clamping and adsorption device includes a clamping module and an adsorption module. The clamping module 1 is provided with a plurality of clamping components, and the clamping components are moved in the X direction and the Y direction by a first displacement device. The adsorption module is provided with a plurality of adsorption components, and the adsorption components are moved in the X direction by a second displacement device. The clamping component includes a plurality of sliding clamps, and the sliding clamps can be independently moved in the X direction. The overall movement of the clamping component has a certain adjustment range. When facing a piano cover of an FPC board with a special shape or a large size, the clamping position of the piano cover of the FPC board can also be adjusted by moving a single sliding clamp.

[0007] The first displacement device includes a first linear guide rail for the clamping assembly to move in the X direction and a power assembly for driving the clamping assembly and the first linear guide rail as a whole in the Y direction. The second displacement device includes a second linear guide rail for the adsorption assembly to move in the X direction.

[0008] The clamping assembly is arranged on the slider of the first linear guide through a connecting plate, the connecting plate is fixedly connected to the first linear guide through a locking device, and the adsorption assembly is fixedly connected to the second linear guide through another locking device. The clamping assembly and the adsorption assembly are respectively fixed to the first linear guide and the second linear guide through the locking device. When switching the machine model, the locking device is released, and the clamping assembly can move quickly along the first linear guide, and the adsorption assembly can move quickly along the second linear guide.

[0009] The connecting plate is provided with a sliding plate, and the sliding clamp is provided with a sliding part, and the sliding clamp moves left and right on the sliding plate through the sliding part. The sliding clamp can move left and right within the length range of the connecting plate through the cooperation of the sliding part and the sliding plate.

[0011] The plurality of sliding clamping members on the clamping assembly are fixedly connected via a pressing plate, and the pressing plate fixedly connects the plurality of sliding clamping members to form the clamping assembly, so that the clamping assembly can move as a whole.

[0012] The power assembly includes a cylinder. The cylinder can drive the clamping block and the first linear guide to move along the Y direction as a whole, and quickly adjust the clamping position of the FPC board placed on the adsorption assembly. Before placing the FPC board, the cylinder is turned on, and the clamping assembly leaves the adsorption assembly. After the FPC board is placed on the adsorption assembly, the cylinder provides power to drive the clamping assembly and the first linear guide to move along the Y direction, adjust the clamping position of the FPC board, and close the cylinder, so that the clamping assembly clamps the FPC board.

[0013] The adsorption assembly includes an adsorption platform and a plurality of accordion suction cups. The FPC board is placed on the adsorption platform, and the accordion suction cups perform vacuum adsorption on the FPC board.

[0014] The clamping assembly is provided with a switch ball valve for controlling the accordion suction cup. The accordion suction cup is switched on and off by controlling the switch ball valve to adjust the suction force of the accordion suction cup on the FPC board.

The clamping module 1 is provided with a plurality of clamping components 11, and the clamping components 11 are moved in the X direction and the Y direction through the first displacement device 3. The adsorption module 2 is provided with a plurality of adsorption components 21, and the adsorption components 21 are moved in the X direction through the second displacement device 4.

The clamping component 11 can move as a whole, and the sliding clamps 7 can move independently in the X direction. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first displacement device 3 includes a first linear guide rail 31 for the clamping component 11 to move in the X direction and a power component 32 for driving the clamping component 11 and the first linear guide rail 31 in the Y direction as a whole. The second displacement device 4 includes a second linear guide rail 41 for the adsorption component 21 to move in the X direction.

[0028] The clamping assembly 11 is arranged on the slider of the first linear guide 31 through a connecting plate 5, and the connecting plate 5 is fixedly connected to the first linear guide 31 through a locking device 6, and the adsorption assembly 21 is fixedly connected to the second linear guide 41 through another locking device 6.
