[0034] The embodiments of the present application have the following advantages:
[0035] The present application provides a material removal component, in which the jig vacuum box not only provides the function of adsorbing circuit boards, but also serves as a connection platform between the carrier and the loading jig. When a large printed circuit board needs to be split, the negative pressure in the jig vacuum box firmly adsorbs the circuit board to the vacuum adsorption end of the loading jig. The carrier is connected to the jig vacuum box and provides a supporting end surface located below the jig vacuum box. This supporting end surface provides a stable contact point for the adapter of the loading jig, ensuring that the loading jig can be safely carried and maintain a stable position during operation. The loading jig includes a main body and at least one adapter. The adapter passes through the space between the supporting end surface of the carrier and the jig vacuum box, and abuts against the supporting end surface, allowing the loading jig to be firmly supported without being directly fixed to the jig vacuum box. The vacuum adsorption end of the main body is used to directly adsorb and fix the circuit board to be processed, ensuring that the circuit board will not shift or fall off during the board separation process. When installing or replacing the loading jig, since the support end surface can bear the loading jig, the operator only needs to disassemble the loading jig, and then pull the loading jig to separate it, instead of lifting the entire heavy loading jig during the whole disassembly and assembly process. This makes the disassembly and assembly process simpler and faster.
[0036] That is to say, since the loading jig is not directly fixed on the jig vacuum box, but contacts the support end surface through the adapter, the installation and removal process of the loading jig is greatly simplified, reducing the required manpower and time costs. In addition, faster loading jig replacement speed means shorter downtime, improving the overall production line efficiency. Furthermore, it reduces the operational risks caused by carrying heavy objects, especially the potential safety hazards when multiple people collaborate.

The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present application, and cannot be understood as limiting the present application.
[0059] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be a central element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be a central element at the same time.

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of this application, the meaning of "plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.
[0062] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs. The terms used herein in the specification of the template are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the related listed items.
[0063] In the related art, a board splitter is a special device used to split a large printed circuit board into multiple independent small circuit boards. Since the switch motherboard of a DIP (Dual Inline Package) production line is relatively large in size, the size and weight of the loading jig on the material taking component of the corresponding board splitter are also relatively large. Usually, the material taking mechanism includes a jig vacuum box and a loading jig. The loading jig is directly fixed in the jig vacuum box, and multiple people are required to assist in lifting the loading jig for disassembly and replacement. The entire disassembly and assembly process is time-consuming and laborious.
[0064] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in order to solve the above technical problems, the embodiment of the present application provides a material taking assembly, which includes a fixture vacuum box 110, a carrier 140 and a loading fixture 120, and the fixture vacuum box 110 has a bottom end surface 111;
[0065] The carrier 140 is connected to the fixture vacuum box 110, and the carrier 140 has a supporting end surface, which is located below the fixture vacuum box 110, and the supporting end surface is arranged opposite to the bottom end surface 111 of the fixture vacuum box 110;
[0066] The loading jig 120 has a main body 123 and a transfer portion 122. The transfer portion 122 is inserted between the support end surface and the jig vacuum box 110. The support end surface is used to at least partially abut against an end surface of the transfer portion 122 away from the bottom end of the jig vacuum box 110, so that the loading jig 120 can be carried. The end of the main body 123 away from the bottom end surface 111 of the jig vacuum box 110 is a vacuum adsorption end 121, and the vacuum adsorption end 121 is used to adsorb the circuit board.
[0067] In these embodiments, the jig vacuum box 110 is a core component for adsorbing the circuit board, and the jig vacuum box 110 has a bottom end surface 111 as a basis for connecting other components. Usually, the downward end surface of the jig vacuum box 110 is the bottom end surface 111.
[0068] The carrier 140 is connected under the jig vacuum box 110 and has a supporting end surface located below the bottom of the jig vacuum box 110. The supporting end surface ensures that the loading jig 120 can be effectively supported without the need to directly lift and fix the loading jig 120 to the jig vacuum box 110. Of course, the thickness of the loading jig 120 can also be adapted by controlling the distance between the bottom end surface 111 and the supporting end surface, so that the loading jig 120 and the bottom end surface 111 can be close to each other and can be in contact and sealed, and the vacuum adsorption hole on the loading jig 120 is connected to the vacuum opening 112 on the bottom end surface 111. Such an arrangement is conducive to simplifying the assembly process and facilitating disassembly and assembly. Obviously, a sealing gasket can also be set between the loading jig 120 and the bottom end surface 111.
[0069] The loading jig 120 is composed of a main body 123 and an adapter 122. The adapter 122 passes through the space between the support end surface of the carrier 140 and the jig vacuum box 110, so that the loading jig 120 can be stably carried. One end of the main body 123 is a vacuum adsorption end 121, which is responsible for adsorbing the circuit board, and the other end contacts the support end surface through the adapter 122. Usually, the vacuum adsorption end 121 is provided with a vacuum adsorption hole, and the circuit board is adsorbed by vacuuming.
[0070] It should be noted that after the loading jig 120 is set on the support end surface, it can also be fixed by fasteners, such as fixing the loading jig 120 to the jig vacuum box 110 by fasteners. Alternatively, the loading jig 120 is fixed to the carrier 140 by fasteners, etc. In this way, the position of the loading jig 120 can be fixed to reduce the probability of displacement.
[0071] There are many forms for the air path connection between the jig vacuum box 110 and the loading jig 120. For example, as described below, the vacuum opening 112 on the bottom end surface 111 and the vacuum adsorption hole of the loading jig 120 are connected at the upper end surface. Alternatively, the vacuum opening 112 is connected to the vacuum adsorption hole through an air pipe, etc., which is not specifically limited here.
[0072] When installing or replacing the loading jig 120, since the supporting end surface carries the loading jig 120, the operator does not need to lift the loading jig 120 for a long time, and avoids directly moving the heavy loading jig 120. It is only necessary to pull the loading jig 120, thereby greatly simplifying the disassembly and assembly process. Obviously, since the loading jig 120 is not directly fixed on the jig vacuum box 110, but contacts the supporting end surface through the adapter 122, the installation and disassembly process of the loading jig 120 is greatly simplified, reducing the required manpower and time costs. In addition, a faster replacement speed of the loading jig 120 means shorter downtime, which improves the work efficiency of the overall production line. Furthermore, it reduces the operational risks caused by carrying heavy objects, especially the potential safety hazards when multiple people collaborate.
[0073] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, in some embodiments, a slot 141 is defined between the support end surface and the bottom end surface 111 of the fixture vacuum box 110 , and the adapter 122 is inserted into the slot 141 .
[0074] In these embodiments, in order to further optimize the installation and removal process of the loading jig 120, a slot 141 structure is introduced. Specifically, a slot 141 is defined between the support end surface and the bottom end surface 111 of the jig vacuum box 110, and the slot 141 is used to accommodate the adapter 122 of the loading jig 120, that is, the two are plugged in and matched, and can be taken and placed by pulling out.
[0075] The slot 141 between the support end surface and the bottom end surface 111 of the fixture vacuum box 110 provides a precise path for the adapter 122 of the loading fixture 120. When the loading fixture 120 needs to be installed or replaced, the operator can directly insert the adapter 122 into the slot 141 without the need for a complicated alignment process.
[0076] After the adapter 122 passes through the slot 141, one end of the adapter 122 contacts the support end surface, and the other end is located under the jig vacuum box 110. This design ensures that the loading jig 120 can be firmly supported while allowing for quick and accurate installation. Of course, the distance between the support end surface and the bottom end surface 111 can also be configured so that the loading jig 120 can be clamped and fixed.
[0077] Obviously, the existence of the slot 141 provides a clear positioning guide for the adapter 122, reduces the error caused by inaccurate manual alignment, and thus improves the installation accuracy of the loading jig 120. Moreover, the operator only needs to push the adapter 122 along the slot 141 to complete the installation without adjusting the position, which greatly shortens the installation time and improves work efficiency. Furthermore, the design of the slot 141 makes the disassembly and assembly of the loading jig 120 more intuitive and simple, and can be easily operated even in a small space, reducing the requirements for the operator's skills. In addition, the slot 141 not only provides a physical constraint for the adapter 122, but also enhances the stability of the entire material removal assembly through a close fit, ensuring that there will be no loosening or displacement during the board separation process.
[0078] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, in a direction away from the vacuum adsorption end 121 , the vacuum adsorption end 121 protrudes from an end of the carrier 140 away from the bottom end surface 111 of the fixture vacuum box 110 .
[0079] In these embodiments, the vacuum adsorption end 121 protrudes relative to the end of the carrier 140. This means that when viewed from the direction of the vacuum adsorption end 121, a portion of the vacuum adsorption end 121 will exceed the edge of the contact surface between the carrier 140 and the fixture vacuum box 110. That is, the end surface of the vacuum adsorption end 121 is lower than the carrier 140. This ensures that even during the process of installing or removing the loading fixture 120, the vacuum adsorption end 121 will not be hindered by the carrier 140 or other components, thereby maintaining its function unaffected.
[0080] Furthermore, the protruding design enables the vacuum adsorption end 121 to contact and adsorb the circuit board more directly, thereby reducing the problem of incomplete adsorption due to obstruction by other components and improving adsorption efficiency and reliability.
[0081] In other words, the operator can place the circuit board onto the vacuum adsorption end 121 more easily without worrying about collision or interference with other components, thereby simplifying the operation steps and increasing the installation speed.
[0082] Furthermore, the protruding design of the vacuum adsorption end 121 prevents it from directly contacting other hard surfaces during installation or removal, thereby reducing the risk of damage to the adsorption end and extending the service life of the equipment.
[0083] Furthermore, it is easier to confirm through visual inspection whether the circuit board is correctly placed on the vacuum adsorption end 121, which is very important for ensuring the quality of the board separation and the smooth progress of the subsequent processes. The protruding structure is also convenient for cleaning and maintenance, ensuring that the vacuum adsorption end 121 is always in good working condition and helps to maintain a stable adsorption force.
[0084] like Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, adapter portions 122 are respectively provided on both sides of the main body portion 123; the number of the supporting members 140 is a pair, and the slots of a pair of slots 141 formed between the pair of supporting members 140 and the bottom end surface 111 of the fixture vacuum box 110 are relatively arranged, and each adapter portion 122 is passed through a slot 141; wherein, the same slot end 142 of a pair of slots 141 is respectively provided with a slot port 143, and the slot port 143 is used for the adapter portion 122 to enter and exit the slot 141.
[0085] In these embodiments, in order to further optimize the installation and disassembly process of the loading jig 120 and improve its stability and ease of operation. Specifically, the adapter parts 122 are respectively arranged on both sides of the main body 123, and the number of the bearing parts 140 is a pair, and a pair of slots 141 are formed between each pair of bearing parts 140 and the bottom end surface 111 of the jig vacuum box 110, and the slots of these slots 141 are arranged oppositely, and each adapter part 122 is inserted into a slot 141. In addition, the same slot end 142 of a pair of slots 141 is respectively provided with a slot port 143 for the adapter part 122 to enter and exit the slot 141.
[0086] There is an adapter 122 on each side of the main body 123 of the loading jig 120, which means that the loading jig 120 can be supported and fixed at two points, thereby enhancing the overall stability. The vacuum adsorption end 121 of the main body 123 can be exposed between the two adapters 122 or the two carriers 140, without affecting the vacuum adsorption end 121 adsorbing the circuit board.
[0087] A pair of bearing members 140 is connected to the bottom of the fixture vacuum box 110, and a slot 141 is formed between each pair of bearing members 140 and the bottom end surface 111 of the fixture vacuum box 110, so there is a total of a pair of oppositely arranged slots 141. In other words, the notches of the slots 141 are arranged relative to each other, which ensures that the two adapters 122 can be accurately inserted into the corresponding slots 141, achieving precise positioning.
[0088] Each slot 141 has a slot port 143 at the same end (i.e., the same slot end 142), and the slot port 143 serves as a passage for the adapter 122 to enter and exit the slot 141. The slot port 143 simplifies the insertion and removal process of the adapter 122, making the installation and removal of the loading fixture 120 more intuitive and simple. Of course, in other embodiments, both slot ends 142 of the slot 141 can also be provided with a slot port 143.
[0089] When the loading jig 120 needs to be installed or replaced, the operator only needs to insert the adapters 122 on both sides of the loading jig 120 into the corresponding slots 141 through the slot ports 143, until the adapters 122 contact the support end faces and firmly support the loading jig 120. The vacuum adsorption end 121 is responsible for adsorbing the circuit board to ensure that the position of the circuit board is fixed during the board separation process. To remove the loading jig 120, the operator only needs to reverse the operation and pull out the adapter 122 from the slot port 143 to complete it easily.
[0090] Therefore, since there are two adapters 122 inserted into two slots 141 respectively, the entire loading fixture 120 is more stable during operation, the possibility of shaking is reduced, and the accuracy of board separation is improved. The slots 141 arranged relatively provide a clear path for the adapter 122, reducing the error caused by inaccurate manual alignment, ensuring that each installation can achieve the expected effect.
[0091] Furthermore, the operator can quickly insert or remove the adapter 122 through the slot port 143, which greatly shortens the installation and removal time and improves work efficiency.
[0092] like Figure 4 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the bottom surface 111 of the fixture vacuum box 110 has a vacuum opening 112, and the vacuum adsorption end 121 has a vacuum adsorption hole, the vacuum adsorption hole penetrates to the end of the main body 123 away from the vacuum adsorption end 121, and the vacuum adsorption hole and the vacuum opening 112 are connected.
[0093] In these embodiments, in order to ensure the efficient operation of the vacuum adsorption system and optimize the adsorption performance of the loading fixture 120, a connecting structure of the vacuum opening 112 and the vacuum adsorption hole is introduced in the design. Specifically, the bottom end surface 111 of the fixture vacuum box 110 has a vacuum opening 112, and the vacuum adsorption end 121 is provided with a vacuum adsorption hole that penetrates to the end of the main body 123 away from the vacuum adsorption end 121, and these vacuum adsorption holes are connected to the vacuum opening 112.
[0094] A vacuum opening 112 is provided on the bottom end surface 111 of the fixture vacuum box 110, and the vacuum opening 112 is connected to a vacuum system for generating negative pressure. For example, the vacuum system includes a vacuum pump and a flow regulating valve 160, and the inlet of the vacuum pump is connected to the vacuum opening 112 through the flow regulating valve 160, so that the vacuum degree can be adjusted.
[0095] A plurality of vacuum adsorption holes are provided on the vacuum adsorption end 121, and the vacuum adsorption holes extend from the surface of the vacuum adsorption end 121 to the end of the main body 123 away from the vacuum adsorption end 121. The plurality of vacuum adsorption holes ensure that the negative pressure can be evenly distributed even when adsorbing a circuit board with a large area or an irregular shape, thereby providing a stable adsorption force.
[0096] The vacuum adsorption hole is directly connected to the vacuum opening 112 of the bottom end surface 111 of the fixture vacuum box 110 , forming a complete vacuum channel, so that the negative pressure generated by the vacuum system can be effectively transmitted to the vacuum adsorption end 121 .
[0097] When the vacuum system is started, a negative pressure environment is formed inside the fixture vacuum box 110, and the vacuum adsorption holes are connected through the vacuum opening 112. The negative pressure is transmitted to the vacuum adsorption end 121 through the connected vacuum adsorption holes, so that the adsorption end can firmly adsorb the circuit board placed thereon to achieve material removal.
[0098] Since the vacuum adsorption hole penetrates to the other end of the main body 123 and is connected to the vacuum opening 112 , negative pressure can continuously and stably act on the circuit board during the entire adsorption process, ensuring that the adsorption effect is not affected.
[0099] Specifically, by directly connecting the vacuum opening 112 with the adsorption hole, the pipeline design of the vacuum system is simplified, and the manufacturing cost and maintenance complexity are reduced.
[0100] Different sizes of circuit boards correspond to different loading jigs 120, so it is necessary to select and replace the corresponding loading jig 120 according to the circuit board to be processed. It should be noted that the number and distribution positions of the vacuum adsorption holes are set according to the type of circuit board.
[0101] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the material picking assembly further includes a clamping member 130, the clamping member 130 includes a fixed clamping portion 133, a movable clamping portion 132 and a driving portion 131, the fixed clamping portion 133 is disposed on the end of the jig vacuum box 110 away from the slot port 143, the driving portion 131 is disposed on the jig vacuum box 110, the movable clamping portion 132 is connected to the driving portion 131, the movable clamping portion 132 is located on the end of the jig vacuum box 110 close to the slot port 143, and the driving portion 131 is used to drive the movable clamping portion 132 to move along a preset path, so that the clamping member 130 switches between a locked state and an unlocked state;
[0102] Among them, in the locked state, the movable clamping portion 132 is located on the moving path of the loading jig 120 entering and exiting the slot 141, and the movable clamping portion 132 and the end of the loading jig 120 close to the slot port 143 abut against each other, and the fixed clamping portion 133 abuts against the end of the loading jig 120 away from the slot port 143; in the unlocked state, the movable clamping portion 132 is located outside the moving path of the loading jig 120 entering and exiting the slot 141.
[0103] In these embodiments, in order to further enhance the safety and reliability of installation and removal of the loading jig 120, the material removal assembly further includes a clamping member 130. The clamping member 130 is composed of a fixed clamping portion 133, a movable clamping portion 132 and a driving portion 131, and is designed to ensure that the loading jig 120 is firmly locked during operation and can be easily unlocked for replacement or maintenance when necessary.
[0104] The fixed clamping portion 133 is disposed on an end of the fixture vacuum box 110 away from the slot port 143 , and is used to contact one side of the loading fixture 120 and provide a fixed support point.
[0105] The movable clamping part 132 is located at one end of the fixture vacuum box 110 near the slot port 143, and is connected through the driving part 131, and can move on a preset path. The movable clamping part 132 is allowed to be moved to the moving path of the loading fixture 120 entering and exiting the slot 141 when necessary to achieve clamping of the loading fixture 120; and when clamping is not required, it can be moved out of the path without hindering the insertion or extraction of the loading fixture 120.
[0106] The driving part 131 is also arranged on the fixture vacuum box 110, and is responsible for controlling the movement of the movable clamping part 132. Exemplarily, the driving part 131 can be an electric, pneumatic or other type of driving device, such as a rotary pressing pneumatic cylinder, to perform a rotating action and a pressing action. Of course, the driving part 131 is also configured to include a linear moving module and a rotating module. The linear moving module is arranged on the fixture vacuum box 110, and the rotating module is connected to the linear moving module. The rotating module is connected to the movable clamping part 132. The rotating module is used to drive the movable clamping part 132 to rotate, so that the movable clamping part 132 moves in and out of the moving path, and the linear moving module is used to drive the movable clamping part 132 to move closer to or away from the feeding fixture 120. Among them, the rotating module can be a rotating motor, a steering gear, etc., and the linear moving module can be a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or an electric push rod, etc., and a suitable driving method is selected according to specific application requirements.
[0107] The driving part 131 can accurately control the movable clamping part 132 to move along the preset path, so as to switch the clamping part 130 between the locked state and the unlocked state. Exemplarily, the preset path includes a rotating section and a straight section, the rotating section allows the movable clamping part 132 to move in and out of the feeding jig 120, and the straight section allows the movable clamping part 132 to move closer to or away from the feeding jig 120. Furthermore, the rotating section is parallel to the cross section of the feeding jig 120, the straight section is parallel to the length direction of the feeding jig 120, and the extension direction of the slot 141 is parallel to the length direction of the feeding jig 120.
[0108] In the locked state, the driving part 131 moves the movable clamping part 132 to the moving path of the feeding jig 120 entering and exiting the slot 141, so that the movable clamping part 132 abuts against the end of the feeding jig 120 close to the slot port 143. At the same time, the fixed clamping part 133 abuts against the end of the feeding jig 120 away from the slot port 143, forming a clamped state at both ends to ensure that the feeding jig 120 remains stable and motionless during the entire working process. Obviously, the two slots 141 are used to achieve the limiting fixation of the peripheral side of the feeding jig 120.
[0109] In the unlocked state, the driving part 131 moves the movable clamping part 132 out of the moving path of the loading jig 120 in and out of the slot 141, and no longer hinders the insertion or extraction of the loading jig 120. In this way, the operator can easily take out or put in the loading jig 120 from the slot 141, simplifying the replacement process of the loading jig 120.
[0110] Obviously, the clamping member 130 ensures that the loading fixture 120 will not accidentally loosen or fall off during operation, which improves the safety of the entire system, especially when processing large or heavy circuit boards. The stable clamping mechanism ensures that the loading fixture 120 will not move during the entire board separation process, improving the accuracy and quality of board separation.
[0111] For example, the movable clamping portion 132 is configured as a movable clamping block, and the fixed clamping portion 133 is configured as a fixed clamping block. The movable clamping block and the fixed clamping block are configured as long strips.
[0112] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the fixed clamping portion 133 has a fixed plug-in body 135 at one end away from the fixture vacuum box 110, and the loading fixture 120 has a fixed plug-in slot at one end away from the slot port 143. In the locked state, the fixed plug-in body 135 is used to be inserted into the fixed plug-in slot;
[0113] The movable clamping portion 132 has a movable plug-in body 134 at one end away from the fixture vacuum box 110, and the loading fixture 120 has a movable plug-in slot 124 at one end close to the slot port 143. In the locked state, the movable plug-in body 134 is used to be inserted into the movable plug-in slot 124;
[0114] Among them, in the locked state, the movable plug-in body 134 is close to one side of the jig vacuum box 110 and abuts against the corresponding part on the groove wall of the movable plug-in groove 124, and the fixed plug-in body 135 is close to one side of the jig vacuum box 110 and abuts against the corresponding part on the groove wall of the fixed plug-in groove, so that the end face of the loading jig 120 facing away from the vacuum adsorption end 121 and the bottom end face 111 of the vacuum adsorption end 121 are in contact and sealed.
[0115] In these embodiments, in order to further enhance the stability and sealing of the loading jig 120, a mechanism is introduced in the design for the fixed plug-in body 135 and the movable plug-in body 134 to be used in conjunction with the corresponding plug-in slots. This design not only ensures that the loading jig 120 is firmly locked during operation, but also achieves close contact and sealing between the vacuum adsorption end 121 and the end face of the loading jig 120 that is away from the vacuum adsorption end 121.
[0116] A fixed plug-in body 135 is disposed at one end of the fixed clamping portion 133 away from the fixture vacuum box 110 . A fixed plug-in groove matching the fixed plug-in body 135 is disposed at one end of the feeding fixture 120 away from the groove port 143 .
[0117] The end of the movable clamping portion 132 facing away from the fixture vacuum box 110 is provided with a movable plug-in body 134 . The end of the feeding fixture 120 close to the slot port 143 is provided with a movable plug-in slot 124 matching the movable plug-in body 134 .
[0118] The fixed plug-in body 135 cooperates with the fixed plug-in slot:
[0119] In the locked state, the fixed plug body 135 is inserted into the fixed plug slot of the feeding fixture 120 to form a stable connection point. The fixed plug body 135 is close to the fixture vacuum box 110 and abuts against the corresponding part of the slot wall of the fixed plug slot to ensure a tight mechanical connection.
[0120] The movable plug-in body 134 cooperates with the movable plug-in slot 124:
[0121] In the locked state, the movable plug body 134 is inserted into the movable plug slot 124 of the loading fixture 120, and also forms a stable connection point. The side of the movable plug body 134 close to the fixture vacuum box 110 abuts against the corresponding part of the groove wall of the movable plug slot 124, ensuring a tight mechanical connection on the other side.
[0122] Through the cooperation of the above two plug-in structures, in the locked state, the end surface of the feeding fixture 120 away from the vacuum adsorption end 121 and the bottom end surface 111 of the vacuum adsorption end 121 can be in close contact and achieve sealing.
[0123] This sealing design ensures that the vacuum system can maintain a stable negative pressure environment during the entire panel separation process, improving the adsorption effect and panel separation accuracy.
[0124] Therefore, the fixed plug-in body 135 and the movable plug-in body 134 are used in conjunction with the fixed plug-in slot and the movable plug-in slot 124 on the loading jig 120, respectively, to provide two stable connection points, thereby enhancing the stability of the loading jig 120 during the entire working process. The tight contact seal design reduces the risk of air leakage, ensures the efficient operation of the vacuum system, and improves the adsorption force and the quality of the board separation. The plug-in structure provides clear positioning guidance for the loading jig 120, reduces the error caused by inaccurate manual alignment, and ensures that each installation can achieve the desired effect.
[0125] For example, the fixed plug-in body 135 is configured as a cone, and the fixed plug-in slot is configured as a conical hole. Of course, the movable plug-in body 134 is configured as a cone, and the movable plug-in slot 124 is configured as a conical hole.
[0126] Alternatively, in other embodiments, the fixed plug-in body 135 is configured as a cube, and the fixed plug-in slot is configured as a square hole. The movable plug-in body 134 is configured as a cube, and the movable plug-in slot 124 is configured as a square hole.
[0127] In some embodiments, a side surface of the movable plug-in body 134 close to the fixture vacuum box 110 matches with a corresponding part of the inclined surface on the groove wall of the movable plug-in groove 124;
[0128] A side surface of the fixed inserting body 135 close to the fixture vacuum box 110 is matched with a corresponding inclined surface of a portion of the groove wall of the fixed inserting groove.
[0129] In these embodiments, in order to further optimize the convenience of installation and removal of the feeding jig 120 and ensure that it achieves closer contact and better sealing in the locked state, a bevel matching structure is introduced. Specifically, the side of the movable plug body 134 close to the jig vacuum box 110 and the corresponding part on the groove wall of the movable plug groove 124 adopt a bevel matching; similarly, the side of the fixed plug body 135 close to the jig vacuum box 110 and the corresponding part on the groove wall of the fixed plug groove also adopt a bevel matching.
[0130] The movable plug-in body 134 and the movable plug-in slot 124:
[0131] A side surface of the movable plug-in body 134 close to the fixture vacuum box 110 is designed to be an inclined surface.
[0132] The corresponding portion on the groove wall of the movable plug groove 124 is also designed as an inclined surface so as to match the inclined surface of the movable plug body 134 .
[0133] Fixed plug-in body 135 and fixed plug-in slot:
[0134] A side surface of the fixed plug-in body 135 close to the fixture vacuum box 110 is also designed as an inclined surface.
[0135] The corresponding portion on the groove wall of the fixed plug-in groove is also designed as an inclined surface so as to match the inclined surface of the fixed plug-in body 135 .
[0136] In the locked state, when the movable plug body 134 is inserted into the movable plug slot 124, the cooperation between the inclined surfaces creates a wedge effect between the two. As the movable clamping portion 132 is pushed by the driving portion 131, the movable plug body 134 gradually penetrates into the movable plug slot 124, and the inclined surface forces the feeding jig 120 to fit more closely to the jig vacuum box 110, thereby enhancing the firmness and sealing of the mechanical connection.
[0137] Similarly, the bevel fit between the fixed plug-in body 135 and the fixed plug-in groove also has a similar effect in the locked state, ensuring close contact and sealing between the end surface of the loading fixture 120 facing away from the vacuum adsorption end 121 and the bottom end surface 111 of the vacuum adsorption end 121.
[0138] Therefore, the design of the bevel fit significantly enhances the sealing between the contact surfaces, reduces the risk of air leakage, ensures the efficient operation of the vacuum system, and improves the adsorption force and the quality of the panel separation.
[0139] Improved stability:
[0140] The wedge effect produced by the bevel makes the loading jig 120 more stable during operation, reduces the risk of loosening due to external vibration or impact, and improves the accuracy of board separation. The bevel design makes the insertion and removal of the loading jig 120 smoother, reduces the difficulty of alignment, and the operator can more easily complete the installation and removal of the loading jig 120.
[0141] Furthermore, the bevel fit allows a certain degree of adaptive adjustment. Even if there is a slight manufacturing tolerance or assembly error in the loading fixture 120 or the clamp 130, a good fit can be achieved through the progressive contact of the bevel, ensuring a stable connection. A tighter mechanical connection reduces the potential safety risks caused by loosening or displacement of the loading fixture 120, which is particularly important when handling large printed circuit boards.
[0142] The angle design of the bevel needs to consider the convenience of insertion and the pressure distribution when finally locked. Generally, the bevel angle should be moderate, which is convenient for insertion and can provide sufficient clamping force when locked.
[0143] For example, appropriate surface treatment (eg, lubricating coating, lubricating plating) can further reduce friction and improve the smoothness of insertion and extraction.
[0144] It should be noted that, during the locking process, the movable plug-in body 134 is inserted into the movable plug-in slot 124, and the fixed plug-in body 135 is inserted into the fixed plug-in slot, so that the loading jig 120 is separated from the supporting end surface, and then the loading jig 120 is lifted up to make it close to the bottom end surface 111, so as to achieve contact sealing. During the unlocking process, the movable plug-in body 134 is separated from the movable plug-in slot 124, and the fixed plug-in body 135 is separated from the fixed plug-in slot, so that the loading jig 120 contacts the supporting end surface again, and then the loading jig 120 is lowered, and the separation between the loading jig 120 and the jig vacuum box 110 is completed. And during the whole process, there is no need to manually lift the loading jig 120.
[0145] like Figure 4 and Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, a side of the fixed plug-in body 135 close to the fixture vacuum box 110 has a fixed inclined section and a fixed straight section connected in sequence, the fixed inclined section is close to the feeding fixture 120, and the end of the fixed inclined section away from the fixed straight section is the lowest end, and the lowest end of the fixed inclined section is lower than the supporting end surface;
[0146] The movable plug-in body 134 has a side surface close to the jig vacuum box 110 that is connected in sequence with a movable inclined section 1341 and a movable straight section 1342. The movable inclined section 1341 is close to the loading jig 120, and the end of the movable inclined section 1341 away from the movable straight section 1342 is the lowest end. The lowest end of the movable inclined section 1341 is lower than the supporting end surface.
[0147] In these embodiments, the fixed plug body 135 and the movable plug body 134 have a fixed inclined section and a fixed straight section connected in sequence on one side close to the jig vacuum box 110, and the end of these fixed inclined sections close to the loading jig 120 is the lowest end and is lower than the support end surface. The side of the fixed plug body 135 close to the loading jig 120 is first an inclined section, and the end (lowest end) of the inclined section close to the loading jig 120 is lower than the support end surface. After the fixed inclined section is a fixed straight section, which is used to cooperate with the corresponding part of the fixed plug slot.
[0148] The side of the movable plug body 134 close to the loading fixture 120 is also first a movable inclined section 1341, and the end (lowest end) of the movable inclined section 1341 close to the loading fixture 120 is also lower than the support end surface. After the movable inclined section 1341 is a straight section for matching with the corresponding part of the movable plug slot 124.
[0149] In the locked state, when the fixed plug-in body 135 and the movable plug-in body 134 are respectively inserted into the corresponding plug-in grooves, the design of the fixed inclined section and the movable inclined section 1341 makes it easier to guide the insertion and gradually lift them to the position of the fixed straight section and the movable straight section 1342 during the insertion process.
[0150] The lowest ends of the fixed tilting section and the movable tilting section 1341 are lower than the supporting end surface, which ensures that the plug-in body can smoothly enter the plug-in slot at the initial stage of insertion, reduces the difficulty of alignment, and avoids the jamming problem caused by height difference.
[0151] When the plug-in body is fully inserted, the straight section and the corresponding part of the plug-in slot are tightly matched, ensuring the firmness and sealing of the mechanical connection.
[0152] For example, the movable straight section 1342 and the fixed straight section are both arranged horizontally, and the movable inclined section 1341 and the fixed inclined section are arranged vertically and inclinedly. In addition, the movable straight section 1342 can significantly increase the thickness of the movable plug-in body 134 located at the movable straight section 1342, and the fixed straight section can significantly increase the thickness of the fixed plug-in body 135 located at the fixed straight section, which is conducive to increasing the structural strength to stably support the loading fixture 120. The fixed inclined section and the movable inclined section 1341 play a guiding role and cannot bear weight for a long time.
[0153] The angles of the fixed inclined section and the movable inclined section 1341 need to be carefully designed to facilitate insertion and provide sufficient lifting force after insertion to ensure that the straight section can be accurately positioned and tightly matched with the insertion slot.
[0154] For example, the inclination angle of the fixed inclination section is 10°, 20°, 30°, 40°, etc. The inclination angle of the movable inclination section 1341 is 10°, 20°, 30°, 40°, etc.
[0155] In some embodiments, one end of the feeding jig 120 close to the jig vacuum box 110 has an elastic sealing layer, or the bottom end surface 111 of the jig vacuum box 110 has an elastic sealing layer, which can further improve the sealing effect.
[0156] Exemplarily, the elastic sealing layer is a rubber gasket, a silicone gasket, and the like.
[0157] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the driving portion 131 is used to drive the movable clamping portion 132 away from or close to the fixed clamping portion 133, and the driving portion 131 is also used to drive the movable clamping portion 132 to rotate, and the rotation path of the movable clamping portion 132 has a component in the vertical direction.
[0158] In these embodiments, in order to further optimize the installation and disassembly process of the loading fixture 120 and ensure that it achieves closer contact and better sealing in the locked state, a driving part 131 with multi-degree-of-freedom movement capability is introduced. Specifically, the driving part 131 can not only drive the movable clamping part 132 away from or close to the fixed clamping part 133, but also drive the movable clamping part 132 to rotate, and the rotation path has a component in the vertical direction.
[0159] The driving part 131 can drive the movable clamping part 132 to move away from or approach the fixed clamping part 133 in a linear direction. This linear motion is used to move the movable clamping part 132 into or out of the moving path of the feeding fixture 120 in and out of the slot 141, thereby switching the clamping member 130 between the locked state and the unlocked state. Exemplarily, the driving part 131 is used to drive the clamping part to move along the extension direction of the slot 141.
[0160] At the same time, the driving part 131 can also drive the movable clamping part 132 to rotate, and the rotation path has a component in the vertical direction. In other words, the movable clamping part 132 can not only rotate in the horizontal plane, but also generate a certain displacement in the vertical direction to form a composite motion path.
[0161] In the locked state, the driving part 131 first pushes the movable clamping part 132 along a straight line to the moving path of the loading jig 120 entering and exiting the slot 141 , so that the movable clamping part 132 abuts against one end of the loading jig 120 close to the slot port 143 .
[0162] Then, the driving part 131 drives the movable clamping part 132 to rotate, so that it is slightly lifted or lowered in the vertical direction, and the composite movement ensures that the movable plug-in body 134 is accurately inserted into the movable plug-in groove 124 and closely matches with the inclined surface on the groove wall.
[0163] In the unlocked state, the driving portion 131 first drives the movable clamping portion 132 in the reverse direction to rotate so as to withdraw the movable clamping portion 132 from the movable plug-in slot 124 .
[0164] Then, the driving part 131 moves the movable clamping part 132 out of the moving path of the loading fixture 120 entering and exiting the slot 141 along a straight line, thereby completing the unlocking operation.
[0165] Therefore, through the combination of linear motion and rotational motion, the movable clamping part 132 can cooperate with the loading jig 120 more accurately in the locked state, thereby enhancing the firmness and sealing of the mechanical connection. In the unlocked state, the composite motion path enables the movable clamping part 132 to quickly and smoothly move out of the path of the loading jig 120 in and out of the slot 141, thereby simplifying the replacement process of the loading jig 120 and improving work efficiency.
[0166] The rotational movement allows a certain degree of adaptive adjustment. Even if there are slight manufacturing tolerances or assembly errors, a good fit can be achieved through the rotational movement, ensuring a stable connection.
[0167] Depending on the specific application scenario, electric, pneumatic or other types of drive devices can be selected to achieve linear motion and rotational motion. For example, a motor is used to drive a rack and pinion mechanism to achieve linear motion, and a servo motor is used to drive a worm gear mechanism to achieve rotational motion.
[0168] Optionally, in order to ensure the movement accuracy of the movable clamping part 132 , a high-precision sensor and control system, such as an encoder and a PLC (programmable logic controller), may be used to achieve precise control of the driving part 131 .
[0169] like Figure 8 , Fig.13 and Fig.14 As shown, in some embodiments, the present application further provides a board separator, the board separator has a loading station 250 and a board separator 360, the board separator includes a loading module 200 and a picking module 100, the loading module 200 is used to convey the circuit board to the loading station 250;
[0170] The material picking module 100 includes a material picking drive component and a material picking component such as any one of the above-mentioned embodiments. The material picking drive component is connected to the fixture vacuum box 110. The material picking drive component is used to drive the vacuum adsorption end 121 of the material picking component to move within a preset range. The loading station 250 and the panel separation station 360 are located within the preset range, so that the vacuum adsorption end 121 can grab the circuit board in the loading station 250 and transfer it to the panel separation station 360.
[0171] In these embodiments, the loading module 200 is responsible for conveying the circuit board to the loading station 250. An automated conveyor belt, a robotic arm or other forms of conveying devices may be used to ensure that the circuit board can accurately and stably reach the designated position.
[0172] The material picking drive assembly of the material picking module 100 is connected to the fixture vacuum box 110, and is used to drive the vacuum adsorption end 121 in the material picking assembly to move within a preset range. As mentioned above, the material picking assembly includes the fixture vacuum box 110, the carrier 140, the loading fixture 120 and its adapter 122, the clamping member 130, etc., to ensure that the circuit board can be efficiently and stably adsorbed and fixed. Usually, the vacuum adsorption end 121 is set vertically downward, and the circuit board is in a horizontal state.
[0173] The picking module 100 enables the vacuum adsorption end 121 to move within a preset range, covering the loading station 250 and the board separation station 360, thereby realizing the automatic transfer of the circuit board from loading to cutting.
[0174] As for the loading station 250 and the board separation station 360, the loading station 250 is used to receive and temporarily store the circuit boards to be processed, and the board separation station 360 is used to perform a separation operation on the circuit boards.
[0175] Loading process:
[0176] The loading module 200 transports the circuit board to the loading station 250 for subsequent processing.
[0177] Retrieving process:
[0178] The material taking driving assembly drives the vacuum adsorption end 121 of the material taking assembly to move to the material loading station 250 , and the vacuum adsorption end 121 adsorbs the circuit board.
[0179] Transfer process:
[0180] The material taking drive assembly is activated again to move the vacuum adsorption end 121 adsorbing the circuit board to the board separation station 360 to prepare for the board separation operation.
[0181] Cutting process:
[0182] At the panel separation station 360, the vacuum adsorption end 121 continues to maintain the adsorption state to ensure that the circuit board will not shift or fall off during the panel separation process, thereby ensuring the panel separation accuracy.
[0183] Therefore, by integrating the material taking module 100, a fully automated process from material loading to cutting is realized, which reduces manual intervention and improves production efficiency. The automated material taking and transfer process simplifies the operation steps, reduces the requirements on the skills of the operator, and improves work efficiency.
[0184] In addition, the stable vacuum adsorption system and precise material-taking drive components ensure that the circuit board is fixed in position during the entire depaneling process, thus improving the depaneling accuracy and quality.
[0185] Furthermore, the loading fixture 120 of the material taking component can be adjusted and replaced according to circuit boards of different sizes to flexibly meet various production needs.
[0186] For example, the material picking drive assembly can adopt electric, pneumatic or other types of drive methods, and select a suitable drive device according to the specific application scenario, such as a servo motor, linear guide, etc., to achieve high-precision motion control.
[0187] In order to ensure the movement accuracy and stability of the material taking module 100, high-precision sensors and control systems, such as encoders and PLCs (programmable logic controllers), may be used to achieve precise control of the material taking drive components.
[0188] like Figure 8 As shown, in some embodiments, the material picking drive assembly also includes a gantry 150, an X-axis drive 170 and a Z-axis drive 180, the X-axis drive 170 is arranged on the crossbeam 151 of the gantry 150, the Z-axis drive 180 is connected to the jig vacuum box 110, and the Z-axis drive 180 is used to drive the jig vacuum box 110 to move along the Z-axis, so that the loading jig 120 moves along the Z-axis, the X-axis drive 170 is arranged on the crossbeam 151 of the gantry 150, the X-axis drive 170 and the Z-axis drive 180 are connected, and the X-axis drive 170 is used to drive the Z-axis drive 180 to move along the X-axis, so that the loading jig 120 moves along the X-axis; wherein, the jig vacuum box 110 and the loading jig 120 are arranged in sequence in the Z-axis direction, and the loading jig 120 is away from the crossbeam 151.
[0189] In these embodiments, in order to further optimize the motion accuracy and flexibility of the pick-up module 100, the pick-up drive assembly is designed to include a gantry 150, an X-axis drive 170, and a Z-axis drive 180. This multi-axis drive structure enables the fixture vacuum box 110 to move accurately in the X-axis and Z-axis directions, ensuring efficient transfer of the circuit board from the loading station 250 to the cutting station.
[0190] The gantry 150 serves as the basic framework of the entire material retrieving drive assembly and provides a stable support structure. It is usually composed of a column and a crossbeam 151. The column is fixed on the ground or the base of the equipment. The crossbeam 151 spans between the two columns and is used to install the X-axis drive component 170. It should be noted that due to the large size of the circuit board, the weight of the material retrieving assembly will increase accordingly. In this case, the stability can be improved by supporting the columns at both ends of the gantry 150. For example, the crossbeam 151 is set horizontally.
[0191] The X-axis driver 170 is disposed on the crossbeam 151 of the gantry 150 and is responsible for driving the Z-axis driver 180 to move along the X-axis (horizontal direction). For example, the X-axis driver 170 may be a linear guide, a servo motor or other types of drive devices to achieve high-precision horizontal movement.
[0192] The Z-axis driver 180 is connected to the X-axis driver 170 and is responsible for driving the fixture vacuum box 110 to move along the Z-axis (vertical direction). For example, the Z-axis driver 180 can also use a servo motor, a cylinder or other types of driving devices to ensure precise control in the vertical direction.
[0193] That is to say, the X-axis driving member 170 cooperates with the Z-axis driving member 180 to drive the vacuum adsorption end 121 to move on the X-axis and the Z-axis.
[0194] The jig vacuum box 110 is connected to the Z-axis driving member 180 and moves along the Z-axis with the Z-axis. The jig vacuum box 110 and the loading jig 120 are arranged in sequence in the Z-axis direction.
[0195] The X-axis driving member 170 drives the Z-axis driving member 180 and the fixture vacuum box 110 connected thereto to move along the X-axis through a servo motor or other driving devices to cover the horizontal distance between the loading station 250 and the cutting station.
[0196] The Z-axis driving member 180 drives the fixture vacuum box 110 to move up and down along the Z-axis through a servo motor or other driving devices, thereby lifting and lowering the vacuum adsorption end 121 to grasp and release the circuit board.
[0197] Therefore, the multi-axis drive structure ensures that the fixture vacuum box 110 can be positioned with high precision in the X-axis and Z-axis directions, thereby improving the accuracy of the board separation operation. The flexible multi-axis motion capability enables the fixture vacuum box 110 to cover a wider working area and adapt to the processing requirements of circuit boards of different sizes and positions.
[0198] like Fig. 9As shown, in some embodiments, the loading module 200 includes a conveying component, a first limiting component 260 and a second limiting component 270, the conveying component is used to convey the circuit board, and a loading station 250 and a buffer station 240 are provided on the conveying path of the conveying component, the buffer station 240 and the loading station 250 are arranged in sequence in the conveying direction of the conveying component, and the conveying path is extended along the X-axis direction, and the first limiting component 260 is movably arranged so that the first limiting component 260 has a limiting state and a non-limiting state; wherein, in the limiting state, the first limiting component 260 is located on the conveying path, and the first limiting component 260 is located between the loading station 250 and the buffer station 240, and in the non-limiting state, the first limiting component 260 is located outside the conveying path; the second limiting component 270 is located on the conveying path, and the second limiting component 270 is located at one end of the loading station 250 away from the buffer station 240.
[0199] In these embodiments, in order to further optimize the function and operation convenience of the loading module 200, the design introduces a conveying component, a first limiting component 260 and a second limiting component 270. This design not only ensures that the circuit board can be accurately conveyed to the loading station 250 and the buffer station 240, but also realizes precise control of the position of the circuit board through the limiting component.
[0200] The conveying assembly is used to convey the circuit board along the X-axis direction. The conveying path includes a loading station 250 and a buffer station 240, and the conveying path is extended along the X-axis direction.
[0201] The conveying component can adopt a conveyor belt, a roller conveyor or other forms of conveying devices to ensure that the circuit board can reach the designated position smoothly and accurately.
[0202] The first limiting assembly 260 can move on the conveying path and has a limiting state and a non-limiting state.
[0203] When in the limiting state, the first limiting component 260 is located on the conveying path and between the loading station 250 and the buffer station 240 , preventing the circuit board from continuing to move forward and ensuring that subsequent circuit boards stay at the buffer station 240 .
[0204] When in the non-limiting state, the first limiting assembly 260 moves out of the conveying path and does not hinder the circuit board from continuing to move forward to the loading station 250 .
[0205] The second limit assembly 270 is located on the conveying path and at one end of the loading station 250 away from the buffering station 240. As a terminal limit, it prevents the circuit board from exceeding the effective range of the conveying path and ensures that the circuit board is correctly positioned at the loading station 250.
[0206] Loading process: The conveying component conveys the circuit board from the starting position along the X-axis direction to the first limiting component 260 , so that the circuit board stays at the buffer station 240 .
[0207] That is, when the first limiting component 260 is in the limiting state, the circuit board will be prevented from moving forward, so that the circuit board stays at the buffer station 240, ready for subsequent processing.
[0208] Therefore, the first limiting assembly 260 and the second limiting assembly 270 work together to ensure that the circuit board is accurately positioned at the loading station 250 and the buffer station 240, thereby improving the accuracy of subsequent board separation operations.
[0209] For example, the first limit assembly 260 can be driven by electric, pneumatic or other types of driving methods, and a suitable driving device, such as a servo motor, a cylinder, etc., can be selected according to the specific application scenario to achieve high-precision movement control. Of course, the movement direction of the first limit assembly 260 can be set to a vertical or horizontal direction.
[0210] Exemplarily, the first position-limiting assembly 260 includes a first position-limiting block. The first position-limiting block is connected to a first position-limiting driving member, and the first position-limiting driving member is used to drive the first position-limiting block to rise and fall.
[0211] Illustratively, the second limiting assembly 270 includes a second limiting stopper, and the position of the second limiting stopper is fixed.
[0212] like Fig. 9 and Fig.10 As shown, in some embodiments, the conveying assembly includes a pair of conveying chains 220, the pair of conveying chains 220 are arranged in parallel, the conveying chain 220 has a chain, the chain link connecting shaft 222 has a protruding end, the chain has a conveying section, the protruding end is located between the pair of conveying chains 220, the circuit board is located between the chains of the pair of conveying chains 220, the circuit board is located above the protruding end of the conveying section, the circuit board and the protruding ends of the conveying section are abutted on one side close to each other, and the circuit board is located between the conveying sections of the pair of conveying chains.
[0213] In these embodiments, in order to further optimize the function and operation convenience of the loading module 200, a pair of parallel conveyor chains 220 are introduced. This design not only ensures that the circuit board can be smoothly and accurately conveyed to the specified position, but also realizes effective support and guidance of the circuit board through the special structure of the chain.
[0214] A pair of conveyor chains 220 are arranged in parallel, that is, the two conveyor chains 220 are arranged in parallel to form a stable conveying channel for conveying circuit boards along the X-axis direction.
[0215] Each conveyor chain 220 is composed of a plurality of chain links 221, and each chain link 221 is connected by a chain link connecting shaft 222. The chain link connecting shaft 222 has an extended end, and these extended ends are located between a pair of conveyor chains 220. A part of the chain is used as a conveying section for directly contacting and supporting the circuit board. For example, the upper side of the extended end abuts and supports the lower side of the circuit board.
[0216] The circuit board is located between the chains of a pair of conveyor chains 220 and above the extended end of the conveyor section. The circuit board and the extended end of the conveyor section are in contact with each other on one side to ensure that the circuit board remains stable during the conveying process. A part of the chain link 221 of the conveyor section is in close contact with the circuit board to prevent the circuit board from deflecting or shaking during the conveying process.
[0217] Conveying process:
[0218] When the conveyor chain 220 is started, the chain moves along a predetermined path, driving the chain links 221 and the chain link connecting shafts 222 thereon to move together. The extended end of the connecting shaft is located between a pair of conveyor chains 220, forming a stable support platform to ensure that the circuit board will not fall or tilt during the conveying process. The circuit board is kept in contact with the extended end of the conveying section and the chain links 221, ensuring that it is always in the correct position during the conveying process.
[0219] Therefore, the circuit board is supported by the extended end of the chain link connecting shaft 222, ensuring that the circuit board remains stable during the entire conveying process, reducing the risk of damage caused by shaking. In addition, the close abutment relationship enables the circuit board to be accurately conveyed to the loading station 250 and the buffer station 240, improving the accuracy of subsequent material removal and board separation operations.
[0220] Chain selection: Depending on the specific application scenario, different types of chains can be selected, such as roller chain, leaf chain, etc., to meet different load and speed requirements.
[0221] The conveyor chain 220 can be driven by electric, pneumatic or other types of drive modes, and a suitable drive device, such as a servo motor, a reducer, etc., can be selected according to the specific application scenario to achieve high-precision conveying control.
[0222] like Fig. 9 As shown, in some embodiments, the conveying assembly includes at least one chain adjusting member 210 , wherein at least one conveying chain 220 is connected to the chain adjusting member 210 , and the chain adjusting member 210 is used to adjust the distance between a pair of conveying chains 220 .
[0223] In these embodiments, in order to further optimize the function and operation convenience of the conveying assembly and ensure that it can adapt to circuit boards of different sizes, at least one chain adjusting member 210 is introduced. This design allows the distance between a pair of conveying chains 220 to be adjusted as needed, thereby better adapting to circuit boards of various sizes.
[0224] Two conveyor chains 220 are arranged in parallel to form a stable conveying channel. Each conveyor chain 220 is composed of a plurality of chain links 221, and each chain link 221 is connected by a chain link connecting shaft 222.
[0225] The chain adjusting member 210 is used to adjust the distance between a pair of conveying chains 220. At least one conveying chain 220 is connected to the chain adjusting member 210, and the position of the conveying chain 220 can be changed by the chain adjusting member 210, thereby adjusting the distance between the two.
[0226] For example, the chain adjusting member 210 may be a manual or automatic adjusting device, such as a screw, a cylinder or an electric push rod, etc., and a suitable adjusting method is selected according to a specific application scenario.
[0227] When the distance between a pair of conveyor chains 220 needs to be adjusted, the operator can perform manual or automatic adjustment through the chain adjusting member 210. The chain adjusting member 210 drives the corresponding conveyor chains 220 to move and changes the distance between the two to accommodate circuit boards of different widths.
[0228] After the spacing is adjusted, the conveying chain 220 is started, and the chain moves along a predetermined path, driving the chain links 221 and the connecting shaft thereon to move together.
[0229] Obviously, through the chain adjusting member 210, the conveying assembly can flexibly adjust the distance between the pair of conveying chains 220 to adapt to circuit boards of different sizes and widths, thereby improving the versatility and flexibility of the equipment. The flexible adjustment capability reduces the preparation time when replacing circuit boards of different sizes, thereby improving the working efficiency of the overall production line.
[0230] The automated chain adjuster 210 (eg, using a pneumatic cylinder or an electric push rod) reduces manual intervention, reduces the workload of operators, and improves operational convenience.
[0231] Exemplarily, a pair of conveyor chains 220 are arranged on the slide rail 230, one of which is a fixed conveyor chain 220 and is fixedly arranged, and the other is a movable conveyor chain 220 and is slidably arranged. The chain adjusting member 210 is connected to the movable conveyor chain 220 to drive it to move along the slide rail 230 to move away from or close to the fixed conveyor chain 220.
[0232] Exemplarily, the chain adjustment member 210 includes a drive motor 212 and a lead screw 211. The drive motor 212 is arranged on the fixed conveying chain 220. The main shaft of the drive motor 212 is connected to the lead screw 211 to drive the lead screw 211 to rotate. The lead screw is threadedly connected to the sleeve on the movable conveying chain 220, and the lead screw and the slide rail 230 are arranged in parallel.

[0236] In these embodiments, in order to further improve the function of the board splitter, the design introduces a material unloading station 440 and a material unloading module 400. This design not only ensures that the cut circuit boards can be removed efficiently and safely, but also takes into account the treatment of waste materials, making the entire board splitting process smoother and more environmentally friendly.
[0237] The unloading station 440 is located at a designated position of the board separator and is used to receive the circuit boards after cutting.
[0238] The material unloading module 400 includes a material receiving assembly and a material receiving driving assembly 410. The material receiving assembly includes a material receiving fixture 420, and the upward end surface of the material receiving fixture 420 is used to receive the cut circuit board. The material receiving fixture 420 has a material dropping groove 430 vertically penetrating and located at the position where the waste of the circuit board is located, so that the waste can be smoothly separated from the material receiving fixture 420, realizing the automatic separation of the product and the waste.
[0239] The receiving drive assembly 410 is connected to the receiving fixture 420 and is responsible for driving the receiving fixture 420 to move out of the unloading station 440 and send the cut circuit boards to subsequent processing or storage areas.
[0240] That is, after the cutting is completed, the material receiving jig 420 is located at the material unloading station 440, and its upward end surface receives the cut circuit board. The vertical through-feeding grooves 430 on the material receiving jig 420 are located at the location of the waste of the circuit board, and the waste generated during the cutting process can fall directly through these grooves 430 to avoid the waste remaining on the material receiving jig 420.
[0241] The receiving drive assembly 410 is started to drive the receiving fixture 420 to move out of the unloading station 440 along a predetermined path, and send the cut circuit board to a subsequent processing or storage area.
[0242] Obviously, the automated material receiving and removal process reduces manual intervention and improves overall production efficiency. The design of the material drop chute 430 on the material receiving fixture 420 allows waste to fall directly, simplifies the waste collection and processing process, and keeps the working environment clean.
[0243] It should be noted that the position and size of the drop chute 430 need to be optimized and designed according to the waste distribution of common circuit boards to ensure that the waste can fall smoothly without affecting normal operation.
[0244] The material receiving drive assembly 410 can adopt electric, pneumatic or other types of drive modes, and select a suitable drive device according to the specific application scenario, such as a servo motor, linear guide rail, etc., to achieve high-precision movement control.
