The initial height of the Y-direction conveying section is lower than the height of the X-direction conveying section.

[0020] Preferably, the material rack includes a base plate, a first plate above the base plate, a second plate above the first plate, a first guide post fixed at the corner of the second plate, and a compression spring sleeved on the first guide post and located between the first plate and the second plate.

[0021] The top end of the compression spring is connected to the second plate, the bottom end of the compression spring is connected to the first plate, the first guide post penetrates the first plate in the vertical direction, and the first plate has a first through hole at the corner for the first guide post to pass through.

[0022] A first lifting unit is also provided below the base plate. The first lifting unit is configured to lift the first plate and the second plate. The base plate has a second through hole for the first lifting unit to pass through.

The second support plate is distributed opposite to the first support plate.

[0027] Preferably, the first loading and unloading component works in conjunction with an external AGV device, which is configured to perform automatic loading and unloading operations on the first loading and unloading component.

[0028] The technical solution provided by this invention has the following advantages:

[0029] In this invention, the positioning pin and positioning hole are used for the installation alignment between the mounting plate and the carrier.

The mounting plate can be easily installed on the carrier without the need for multiple workers to work together. The installation is convenient, time-saving and labor-saving.

[0030] The carrier is provided with a through hole for the disassembly rod to pass through. When the first connecting structure is in the unlocked state, the disassembly rod can move down in response to the downward action of the pressure rod to release the force applied by the first auxiliary structure between the mounting plate and the carrier, forcing the mounting plate to separate from the carrier. The worker can separate the mounting plate from the carrier without applying a lot of external force, which has the advantage of easy disassembly. Attached Figure Description

[0055] The technical solution of the present invention will now be clearly and completely described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of the present invention. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of the present invention can be combined with each other.

[0056] It should be noted that the terms "first," "second," etc., in the specification, claims, and drawings of this invention are used to distinguish similar objects and are not necessarily used to describe a specific order or sequence.

[0057] In this invention, unless otherwise stated, directional terms such as "upper," "lower," "top," and "bottom" are generally used in relation to the direction shown in the accompanying drawings, or in relation to the vertical, perpendicular, or gravitational direction of the component itself; similarly, for ease of understanding and description, "inner" and "outer" refer to the inner and outer contours of each component itself, but the above directional terms are not intended to limit this invention.

[0058] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this invention provides a board placement device for automatically placing flexible printed circuit boards (not shown) onto a carrier (not shown). The flexible printed circuit boards are stacked vertically on a rack 600, with separator paper (not shown) between adjacent boards. The carrier has spacers. The general workflow of the board placement device is as follows: the device removes the spacers from the carrier, cleans the carrier, and then retrieves the flexible printed circuit board from the rack 600, placing it onto the cleaned carrier. During the retrieval process, the separator paper between adjacent boards needs to be removed. The specific structure of the board placement device is described below.

[0059] The board planting equipment includes: a machine base 100, a first loading / unloading assembly 500, a second loading assembly 700, a picking assembly 200, a cleaning assembly 300, and a transferring assembly 400, wherein the first loading / unloading assembly 500, the second loading assembly 700, the picking assembly 200, the cleaning assembly 300, and the transferring assembly 400 are all located on the machine base 100. An outer cover 110 is also provided on the machine base 100. The second loading assembly 700, the picking assembly 200, the cleaning assembly 300, and the transferring assembly 400 are located inside the outer cover 110; the first loading / unloading assembly 500 is partially located inside the outer cover 110 and partially extends to the outside of the outer cover 110.

[0060] The first loading / unloading assembly 500 is used to transport flexible circuit boards. For example... Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the first loading / unloading assembly 500 includes a first conveyor line unit 510 for conveying the material rack 600 along the X-axis direction, a third conveyor line unit 530 perpendicularly distributed to the first conveyor line unit 510 for conveying the material rack 600 along the Y-axis direction, and a second conveyor line unit 520 connecting the first conveyor line unit 510 and the third conveyor line unit 530. The first conveyor line unit 510, the second conveyor line unit 520, and the third conveyor line unit 530 are all belt conveyor structures.

[0061] The first loading / unloading assembly 500 includes a loading station 601, a picking station 602, a paper receiving station 603, and a unloading station 604. The first conveyor unit 510 has the loading station 601 and the picking station 602, the second conveyor unit 520 has the paper receiving station 603, and the third conveyor unit 530 has the unloading station 604. That is, the loading station 601 and the picking station 602 are located on the first conveyor unit 510, the paper receiving station 603 is located on the second conveyor unit 520, and the unloading station 604 is located on the third conveyor unit 530. The loading station 601 and the unloading station 604 are located outside the outer cover 110, which facilitates loading and unloading operations.

[0062] The first loading / unloading assembly 500 works in conjunction with an external AGV device, which is used to automatically load and unload materials. The "external AGV device" refers to an intelligent handling robot. Specifically, the external AGV device connects to the loading station 601 and the unloading station 604. During loading, the external AGV device transports the rack 600 containing flexible circuit boards to the loading station 601, where a separator paper is placed between two adjacent flexible circuit boards. During unloading, the external AGV device removes the rack 600 containing the separator paper from the unloading station 604.

[0063] The transfer assembly 400 includes a robotic arm, a suction cup, or other structure capable of handling flexible circuit boards. For ease of explanation, the following description uses the transfer assembly 400 including a suction cup as an example. The suction cup of the transfer assembly 400 can move along the X, Y, and Z axes, thereby transferring the flexible circuit board from the picking station 602 to a cleaned carrier.

[0064] A first limiting unit 550 is provided between the loading station 601 and the unloading station 602, and between the unloading station 602 and the paper receiving station 603. The first limiting unit 550 is used to limit the position of the material rack 600 in the X-axis direction. Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, the first limiting unit 550 includes a first limiting cylinder 551 and a first limiting block 552 connected to the first limiting cylinder 551. The first limiting block 552 can move up and down in the vertical direction under the drive of the first limiting cylinder 551, which is the Z-axis direction. When the first limiting block 552 is lifted, the material rack 600 is intercepted at its current position and cannot continue to move forward, thereby achieving the limiting function.

[0065] To ensure that the material transfer assembly 400 can smoothly transport the flexible circuit board from the picking station 602 to the carrier, a second limiting unit 560 is also provided at the picking station 602. The second limiting unit 560 is used to limit the material rack 600 in the Y-axis direction.

[0066] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the second limiting unit 560 includes a second limiting cylinder 561 fixed to the first support plate 511 of the first conveyor unit 510 and a second limiting block 562 connected to the second limiting cylinder 561. The second limiting block 562 extends and retracts in a direction perpendicular to the conveying direction of the first conveyor unit 510 (Y-axis direction) so that the material rack 600 can abut against the second support plate 512 of the first conveyor unit 510. The second support plate 512 is relatively distributed with respect to the first support plate 511. Thus, the material rack 600 located at the material picking station 602 is positioned horizontally under the combined action of the first conveyor unit 510, the first limiting unit 550, and the second limiting unit 560.

[0067] Regarding the structure of the 600 material rack, such as Figures 7 to 9As shown, the material rack 600 includes a base plate 610, a first plate 630 located above the base plate 610, a second plate 640 located above the first plate 630, a first guide post 660 fixed at the corner of the second plate 640, and a compression spring 650 sleeved on the first guide post 660 and located between the first plate 630 and the second plate 640. The first guide post 660 is fixed to the bottom surface of the second plate 640. The cross-section of the second plate 640 in the horizontal plane is rectangular or square. A first guide post 660 is provided at each corner of the second plate 640, and the compression spring 650 is correspondingly arranged with each first guide post 660.

[0068] Flexible circuit boards are stacked on the second board 640. Right-angle blocks 620 are provided at the four corners of the base plate 610. The right-angle blocks 620 help to stack the flexible circuit boards neatly and also prevent the circuit boards that are stacked to a certain height from collapsing.

[0069] The top end of the compression spring 650 is connected to the second plate 640, and the bottom end of the compression spring 650 is connected to the first plate 630. The first guide post 660 penetrates the first plate 630 in the vertical direction, and the corner of the first plate 630 is provided with a first through hole for the first guide post 660 to pass through.

[0070] Furthermore, a first lifting unit 540 is provided below the base plate 610, located at the material handling station 602. The first lifting unit 540 is used to lift the first board 630 and the second board 640, raising the flexible circuit board to a preset height, thereby facilitating the material transfer assembly 400 to pick up the flexible circuit board. The base plate 610 has a second through hole 611 for the first lifting unit 540 to pass through; the second through hole 611 is a clearance hole.

[0071] In this embodiment, as Figure 8 and Figure 10 As shown, the first plate 630 has a first through-hole 631, and the second plate 640 has a second through-hole 641. The first lifting unit 540 includes a first linear drive unit 541 and a movable plate 542 connected to the first linear drive unit 541. Under the action of the first linear drive unit 541, the movable plate 542 can move up and down. The movable plate 542 has a third through-hole 543 opposite to the first through-hole 631 and the second through-hole 641. A photoelectric sensor (not shown) is located below the movable plate 542. The light emitted by the photoelectric sensor can pass through the third through-hole 543, the second through-hole 641 and the first through-hole 631 in sequence. Thus, it can determine whether there are still flexible circuit boards in the material rack 600 at the material picking station 602, which has the advantage of convenient detection.

[0072] Furthermore, such as Figure 2As shown, a paper-shifting unit 800 is also provided on one side of the first conveyor unit 510. The paper-shifting unit 800 is used to pick up and place the separator paper from the picking station 602 to the rack 600 of the receiving station 603. When the rack 600 at the picking station 602 is empty, the rack 600 at the receiving station 603 is fully loaded. The first loading and unloading assembly 500 operates, transporting the originally empty rack 600 at the picking station 602 to the receiving station 603, and the originally fully loaded rack 600 at the receiving station 603 to the unloading station 604. At this time, the AGV equipment can remove the rack 600 containing the separator paper from the unloading station 604. It is worth noting that a third limiting unit 570 is also provided downstream of the third conveyor unit 530. The third limiting unit 570 is used to limit the position of the rack 600 at the unloading station 604.

[0073] The second conveyor unit 520 has X-axis conveying capability and Y-axis conveying capability, thereby enabling the material rack 600 on the first conveyor unit 510 to be conveyed to the third conveyor unit 530.

[0074] like Figure 11 and Figure 12 As shown, the second conveyor unit 520 includes an X-direction conveying section 521, a Y-direction conveying section 522, and a first lifting drive 523 connected to the Y-direction conveying section 522. The first lifting drive 523 is used to drive the Y-direction conveying section 522 to move up and down in the vertical direction. Furthermore, a baffle 524 is provided downstream of the X-direction conveying section 521 in the direction of movement, and the baffle 524 is used for positioning the material rack 600.

[0075] In this system, the third conveyor unit 530 is higher than the initial height of the Y-direction conveyor section 522, while the X-direction conveyor section 521 is set at the same height as the first conveyor unit 510, with the initial height of the Y-direction conveyor section 522 being lower than that of the X-direction conveyor section 521. Therefore, the material rack 600 on the first conveyor unit 510 can smoothly transfer to the X-direction conveyor section 521 of the second conveyor unit 520. When the material rack 600 on the X-direction conveyor section 521 is fully loaded, the first lifting drive 523 drives the Y-direction conveyor section 522 upwards. When the Y-direction conveyor section 522 is approximately at the same height as the third conveyor unit 530, the Y-direction conveyor section 522 transports the fully loaded material rack 600 to the unloading station 604 of the third conveyor unit 530.

[0076] Specifically, the X-direction conveying section 521 includes a third support plate and a fourth support plate extending along the X-axis, with the third and fourth support plates distributed parallel to each other. The tops of the third and fourth support plates are recessed downwards to form grooves, and the end of the Y-direction conveying section 522 is disposed within these grooves. Thus, the X-direction conveying section 521 and the Y-direction conveying section 522 are stacked in the same area, enabling their installation without increasing space, resulting in a compact structure.

[0077] In this embodiment, the second feeding assembly 700 is used to convey a carrier containing spacers. Figure 13 As shown, the second feeding assembly 700 includes a first belt conveyor unit 710 and a second belt conveyor unit 720 symmetrically distributed. The spacing between the first belt conveyor unit 710 and the second belt conveyor unit 720 is adjustable to suit carriers of different sizes, thus providing good versatility.

[0078] The second belt conveyor unit 720 is fixedly mounted on the machine base 100, and the first belt conveyor unit 710 is slidably mounted on the machine base 100 via a linear slide rail. A lead screw 730 and a guide rod 740 are also provided between the first belt conveyor unit 710 and the second belt conveyor unit 720. The lead screw 730 and the guide rod 740 are distributed in parallel, and the lead screw 730 and the guide rod 740 extend along the feeding direction perpendicular to the second feeding assembly 700.

[0079] One end of the guide rod 740 is fixed to the second belt conveyor unit 720. A linear bearing (not shown) is provided on the first belt conveyor unit 710 and is sleeved on the guide rod 740. One end of the lead screw 730 is mounted on the second belt conveyor unit 720 via a bearing, and the other end of the lead screw 730 has a handle 731. A lead screw nut (not shown) is provided on the first belt conveyor unit 710 and is sleeved on the lead screw 730. When the handle 731 is rotated, under the guidance of the guide rod 740 and the linear guide rail, the first belt conveyor unit 710 moves closer to or further away from the second belt conveyor unit 720, thereby achieving the purpose of pitch adjustment.

[0080] The first conveyor unit 710 is also equipped with several rollers or bearings 750 on its conveyor frame. The bearings 750 are spaced apart in the conveying direction of the second feeding assembly 700 to guide the movement of the carrier. The first conveyor unit 710 is also equipped with a third limiting block 760, which is in the shape of an inverted "L" to prevent the carrier from moving upward under the action of the picking assembly 200.

[0081] The second feeding assembly 700 also includes a second lifting unit 770 located between the first belt conveyor unit 710 and the second belt conveyor unit 720, and a fourth limiting unit 780 is provided upstream and downstream of the second lifting unit 770.

[0082] In this embodiment, the part removal assembly 200 is used to remove a partition from the vehicle; in one embodiment, the partition is a steel plate. Figures 15 to 18 As shown, the component retrieval assembly 200 includes a carrier 210, a mounting plate 220, and a first connecting structure 230. A suction nozzle 221 is provided on the bottom surface of the mounting plate 220. The mounting plate 220 is detachably mounted below the carrier 210 via the first connecting structure 230. The first connecting structure 230 is a latch lock, which has a locked state where the mounting plate 220 is fixed below the carrier 210, and an unlocked state where the mounting plate 220 can be removed from the carrier 210. Figure 18 As shown, the first connecting structure 230 includes a fastening part 231 and a hook part 232. The fastening part 231 is disposed on one side wall of the carrier 210, and the hook part 232 is disposed on the mounting plate 220. The fastening part 231 and the hook part 232 are aligned vertically. The fastening part 231 has a retaining ring 2311, which cooperates with the hook part 232.

[0083] The component retrieval assembly 200 also includes a first auxiliary structure 240 and a second auxiliary structure 250, which are disposed between the carrier 210 and the mounting plate 220. The first auxiliary structure 240 is used to pre-install the mounting plate 220 on the bottom of the carrier 210; the second auxiliary structure 250 is used to separate the mounting plate 220 from the carrier 210 when the first connecting structure 230 is in the unlocked state.

[0084] like Figure 17 and Figure 18 As shown, the first auxiliary structure 240 includes a positioning pin 241 fixed on the top surface of the mounting plate 220, a first magnet 242 fixed on the top surface of the mounting plate 220, and a second magnet 243 fixed on the bottom surface of the carrier 210 and cooperating with the first magnet 242. The carrier 210 is provided with a positioning hole 211 that cooperates with the positioning pin 241.

[0085] Furthermore, the top surface of the mounting plate 220 is recessed downwards to form a first groove, and a first magnet 242 is installed in the first groove, with the top of the first magnet 242 extending to the outside of the first groove. The bottom surface of the carrier 210 is recessed upwards to form a second groove, and a second magnet 243 is installed in the second groove. There is a predetermined gap in the vertical direction between the bottom surface of the second magnet 243 and the opening of the second groove to accommodate the portion of the first magnet 242 that extends beyond the first groove.

[0086] The positioning pin 241 and positioning hole 211 are used for the installation alignment between the mounting plate 220 and the carrier 210. The mounting plate 220 can be pre-installed on the underside of the carrier 210 through the magnetic attraction between the first magnet 242 and the second magnet 243. The mounting plate 220 can be easily installed on the carrier 210 without the need for multiple workers to work together, making the installation more convenient.

[0087] like Figure 19 As shown, the second auxiliary structure 250 includes a rod seat 251 fixed to the top of the carrier 210, an auxiliary dismantling rod 252 telescopically mounted on the rod seat 251 in the vertical direction, and a pressure rod 253 rotatably mounted on the rod seat 251 and abutting against the top of the auxiliary dismantling rod 252. The pressure rod 253 includes a cam portion 2531 and a gripping portion 2532 fixedly connected to the cam portion 2531, wherein the cam portion 2531 abuts against the top of the auxiliary dismantling rod 252.

[0088] The carrier 210 has a through hole 212 for the disassembly rod 252 to pass through. When the first connecting structure 230 is in the unlocked state, the disassembly rod 252 can move downward in response to the downward pressing action of the pressure rod 253, thereby releasing the magnetic attraction force applied by the first auxiliary structure 240 between the mounting plate 220 and the carrier 210, forcing the mounting plate 220 to separate from the carrier 210. Because the mounting plate 220 will not fall under gravity when the first connecting structure 230 is in the unlocked state under the action of the first auxiliary structure 240, the pressure rod 253 is pressed down, and the mounting plate 220 separates from the carrier 210 under the action of the pressure rod 253. Since the hook 232 of the mounting plate 220 is still hooked together with the buckle 2311 of the carrier 210, it is worth noting that the hook 232 and the buckle 2311 are loosely connected, so the mounting plate 220 will not fall off and it is also convenient for workers to disassemble the mounting plate 220.

[0089] Furthermore, the dismantling rod 252 is mounted on the rod seat 251 via an elastic element 254. After the external force applied to the pressure rod 253 is removed, the elastic element 254 provides an elastic restoring force to the dismantling rod 252, causing the dismantling rod 252 to move upward and return to its original position.

[0090] The cleaning component 300 is used to clean the carrier after the partition has been removed, to prevent dust or impurities inside the carrier from affecting subsequent operations on the flexible circuit board. For example... Figures 20 to 23 As shown, the cleaning assembly 300 includes a roller frame 310, a cleaning roller 320 disposed on the roller frame 310, a motor assembly 330 that is drivenly connected to the cleaning roller 320, and a dust collection box 340 disposed on one side of the roller frame 310. The dust collection box 340 has a dust suction port 341 extending along the axial direction of the cleaning roller 320 on its side wall.

[0091] Specifically, the roller frame 310 includes a top plate 311 and a first side plate 312 disposed on one side of the top plate 311. The dust collection box 340 has a side wall with a dust suction port 341 distributed parallel to the first side plate 312. The roller frame 310 and the dust collection box 340 together form a brush cavity for accommodating the cleaning roller 320.

[0092] The motor assembly 330 is connected to the top plate 311 via the second connecting structure 360. The motor assembly 330 is located at one end of the roller frame 310. The second connecting structure 360 ​​can adjust the position of the motor assembly 330 in the axial direction of the cleaning roller 320. In this embodiment, by setting the second connecting structure 360, not only can the cleaning roller 320 be easily disassembled and assembled, but the impact of installation errors can also be reduced.

[0093] like Figure 22 and Figure 23 As shown, the motor assembly 330 includes a motor base 333, a motor 331 and a reducer 332 disposed on both sides of the motor base 333, and the second connection structure 360 ​​includes an adjustment plate 361 connected to the motor base 333 and a connecting plate 363 disposed on the adjustment plate 361. The connecting plate 363 is provided with an adjustment groove 3631 extending along the axial direction of the cleaning roller 320, and a fastener 364 is provided in the adjustment groove 3631.

[0094] The top plate 311 has an adjusting post 362 at one end, and the adjusting plate 361 has an insertion hole that mates with the adjusting post 362 at one end. The top plate 311 also has a threaded hole that mates with the fastener 364. The length of the top plate 311 in the axial direction of the cleaning roller 320 is less than the length of the first side plate 312 in the axial direction of the cleaning roller 320, and the sum of the lengths of the top plate 311 and the adjusting plate 361 in the axial direction of the cleaning roller 320 is equal to the length of the first side plate 312 in the axial direction of the cleaning roller 320.

[0095] Considering that the target positions of the pickup component 200 and the cleaning component 300 are the same, namely, the location of the carrier, in this embodiment, the pickup component 200 and the cleaning component 300 share the X-axis and Y-axis drives; a separate drive is set on the Z-axis, such as... Figure 14 , Figure 15 and Figure 20 As shown, the part-picking assembly 200 also includes a linear module 260 connected to the carrier 210, and a lifting cylinder 350 is provided on the roller frame 310 of the cleaning assembly 300. This effectively simplifies the overall structure of the device. Furthermore, the part-picking assembly 200 also includes a rotary drive 270, with the carrier 210 connected to the rotary drive 270. The rotary drive 270 can drive the carrier 210 to rotate. The rotary drive 270 is connected to the linear module 260 via an intermediate plate, and the linear module 260 can drive the rotary drive 270 and the carrier 210 to rise and fall.

[0096] In this embodiment, the board planting equipment also includes multiple vision units. These vision units are used to detect whether a flexible circuit board is placed in the material rack 600 at the loading station 601, to detect whether the material transfer component 400 picks up a flexible circuit board, to detect whether the part picking component 200 removes the partition from the carrier, and to detect whether a flexible circuit board is placed on the cleaned carrier, etc.
