Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a system for drill bits, and particularly to a warehousing system, a drill bit preparation system, a drill bit return system, and a drill bit management system for drill bits. Background Art

[0002] The drilling of a general printed circuit board (PCB) is divided into mechanical drilling and laser drilling. For mechanical drilling, a PCB usually requires drill bits with different drill bit diameters for drilling. Therefore, it is necessary to take out or recycle drill bits with different drill bit diameters, a warehousing system is needed to store drill bits with different drill bit diameters, and drill bits with different drill bit diameters need to be configured in the same drill bit box to facilitate the use of a PCB drilling machine for drilling a single PCB with different drill bit diameters. However, the current storage, preparation, and recycling of drill bits have not achieved full automation, and manual handling and configuration are still required.

[0003] In the document with the patent application publication number CN 114750236 A, it discloses an automatic tool preparation and retraction device for picking and placing PCB drill bits, which includes a frame and a bottom plate installed on the frame. The automatic tool preparation and retraction device further includes: a picking and placing manipulator; a tray mechanism installed on the bottom plate, which has a carrier plate, and multiple rows of tool box placement grooves are provided on the carrier plate. By driving the carrier plate by a Y-axis driving source and driving the picking and placing manipulator by an XY driving mechanism, the picking and placing manipulator can reach any position of the multiple rows of tool box placement grooves; the manipulator can grasp materials and simultaneously grasp multiple drill bits, achieving the purpose of high-efficiency loading and unloading.

[0004] However, in the above patent document, it is only possible to grasp drill bits onto multiple rows of tool box placement grooves on an entire carrier plate, and multiple rows of tool boxes still need to be manually taken by hand, which is not conducive to the automation between devices.

[0005] In view of the deficiencies of the known technology, it is expected to propose new warehousing systems, drill bit preparation systems, drill bit return systems, and drill bit management systems for drill bits to achieve the purpose of full automation. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The present disclosure provides a drill bit storage system, a drill bit preparation system, a drill bit return system, and a management system for the entire drill bit among these systems. The drill bit storage system includes a plurality of storage modules, a multi-axis drive structure, and a processing unit. Drill bit boxes can be stored according to a rule. For example, drill bits with the same drill bit diameter are placed in the same drill bit box. Each drill bit box can be provided with a specific electronic label to identify the drill bit diameter and the number of drill bits in each drill bit box. Since the drilling apertures on a PCB are not necessarily of the same size, the drill bit diameters required for the same PCB will be different. Therefore, a drill bit preparation system is needed to place drill bits with different drill bit diameters in the same drill bit box to form a drill bit combination, so as to provide a PCB drilling machine to sleevedifferent-diameter drill bits on corresponding-sized drill bits respectively. In addition, the drill bit storage system includes a pick-and-place device and a transfer device. The pick-and-place device can pick up the drill bit box stored in the storage module and place it on the transfer device for temporary storage. The transfer device then transfers the drill bit box to the discharge section, and through the transfer device, the drill bit box can be transferred from the discharge section to the drill bit preparation system, thus establishing full automation between the drill bit storage system and the drill bit preparation system.

[0007] The drill bit preparation system of the present disclosure includes a conveying device, a device for picking up and placing drill bit boxes, a device for clamping and placing drill bits, a detection module, and a processing unit. The conveying device temporarily stores and transfers the drill bit boxes from the storage system. The device for picking up and placing drill bit boxes then picks up the drill bit box and places it in the drill bit preparation area, and the device for picking up and placing drill bit boxes picks up an empty drill bit box from the empty box area and places it in the drill bit combination area. The drill bit management system, in addition to including the above systems, also includes an electronic label reader / writer, a database, a processing unit, and a cloud management system, etc. The electronic label reader / writer can scan a preparation list to prepare for distributing drill bits with different drill bit diameters into the same drill bit box. The device for clamping and placing drill bits can be regarded as a drill bit preparation device. The processing unit, according to the preparation list, enables the device for clamping and placing drill bits to clamp the required drill bits with a specific drill bit diameter into an empty drill bit box. When there are many empty drill bit boxes and there are many drill-bit clamping units in the device for clamping and placing drill bits, it is more efficient to clamp into multiple empty drill bit boxes at the same time. The drill bit box that has completed drill bit preparation in the drill bit combination area can be transferred to the completion area for temporary storage through the conveying device, for subsequent output to the PCB drilling device. When the drill bit box in the drill bit preparation area is emptied after drill bit distribution to form an empty drill bit box and there is still space in the empty box area, the device for picking up and placing drill bit boxes can pick up the empty drill bit box in the drill bit preparation area and place it in the empty box area. When there are still remaining drill bits in the drill bit box in the drill bit preparation area after drill bit distribution, the drill bit box with the remaining drill bits can be sent back to the drill bit storage through the conveying device. The used drill bits or the ground drill bits are first sorted through the drill bit return system of the drill bit return system and then sent back to the drill bit storage for storage. The conveying device can also output the drill bit box with completed drill bit preparation to the PCB drilling device for full automation.

[0008] The drill bit storage system, the drill bit preparation system, and the drill bit return system disclosed herein may all include a detection module. The drill bit management system, in addition to including the above systems, further includes an electronic label reader / writer, a database, a processing unit, and a cloud management system, etc. The detection module may include a first detection module for detecting the diameter of the drill bit and a second detection module for detecting the number of drill bits and the color rings of the drill bits. Each system may be configured with an electronic label reader / writer to scan the electronic label provided on the drill bit box to identify the drill bit box, the number of drill bits therein, the diameter of the drill bit, and other information. Each system may also actually detect the number of drill bits and the diameter of the drill bits in the drill bit box by the detection module for verification to avoid the inconsistency between the drill bit information and the actual number and diameter of the drill bits. The drill bit boxes can be freely transported to the target machine tool through a mobile device for automatically picking up and placing the drill bit boxes among the systems.

[0009] The drill bit return system disclosed herein may include a conveying device, a device for picking up and placing the drill bit box, a device for clamping and placing the drill bit, a broken drill bit identification module, a drill bit diameter identification module, a color ring / quantity identification module, and a processing unit. After the PCB drilling machine uses the drill bit, the drill bit will become blunt and thus needs to be ground for the next drilling use. The drill bit box placed after drilling is temporarily stored in the recycling area of the drill bit return system and is placed in the drill bit combination area by the device for picking up and placing the drill bit box and the conveying device. The device for clamping and placing the drill bit can be regarded as a drill bit return device, which recovers the used or ground drill bits into the respective drill bit boxes in the drill bit return area according to the diameter of each of the drill bits. Each drill bit in the drill bit box in the drill bit return area has a specific drill bit diameter. For example, each drill bit in the first drill bit box in the drill bit return area has a first specific drill bit diameter, and each drill bit in the second drill bit box in the drill bit return area has a second specific drill bit diameter. Before the drill bits in the drill bit combination area are to be recycled to the drill bit return area, the broken drill bit identification module will detect whether each drill bit is broken to exclude it from the target of returning the drill bit. The device for clamping and placing the drill bit may include a plurality of drill bit clamping units. The plurality of drill bit clamping units can respectively clamp the drill bits with different drill bit diameters and place them into the drill bit boxes at different positions in the drill bit return area, where the drill bits in the drill bit boxes at the same position have the same drill bit diameter; or when the sizes of the plurality of drill bit clamping units are allowed to operate in the same drill bit box in the drill bit return area, a plurality of drill bits in the drill bit combination area can be simultaneously clamped into the same drill bit box in the drill bit return area. The drill bit box after the return is completed can be picked up and placed by the device for picking up and placing the drill bit box to the conveying device and is temporarily stored in the completion area. The conveying device can then output the drill bit box after the return is completed to the drill bit storage system to automatically achieve the purpose of recycling the drill bits.

[0010] The drill bit storage system, needle preparation system, and needle return system of the present disclosure can be combined and connected to each other and cooperate to achieve further automation.
