Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of auxiliary hardware tools for the production of electronic devices, and more specifically, to a product transfer and static placement device and method. Background Art

[0002] In the production and manufacturing process of many consumer electronic products, the dispensing process is usually required. If UV glue (ultraviolet curable glue, other common aliases include photosensitive glue, shadowless glue, ultraviolet glue) is used, then a UV lamp is needed for curing; if AB glue is used, then only static placement is required.

[0003] For the use of AB glue, in the prior art, generally, an operator is relied on to place the product in a designated area on the desktop for static placement. However, this method not only occupies a large area, but also is not convenient for automatically counting the static placement time, resulting in a large workload for factory operators and increasing the risk of operator misoperation.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a product transfer and static placement device and method that can automatically move the already placed product, save desktop operation space, simultaneously count the static placement duration, and reduce the risk of operator misoperation. Summary of the Invention

[0005] In view of the above problems, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a product transfer and static placement device to solve the technical problems in the prior art that generally rely on an operator to place the product in a designated area on the desktop for static placement, but this method not only occupies a large area, but also is not convenient for automatically counting the static placement time, resulting in a large workload for factory operators and increasing the risk of operator misoperation.

[0006] A product transfer and static placement device provided by the present invention includes a microprocessor, a moving module communicatively connected to the microprocessor, and an infrared transceiver module; wherein,

[0007] The microprocessor is used to call and activate the infrared transceiver module according to the loading signal of the moving module, so that the infrared transceiver module emits infrared rays;

[0008] The moving module is used to emit a loading signal after loading the product and drive the product to move from the initial position to the target position. When the product reaches the target position, the moving module is irradiated by the infrared rays emitted by the infrared transceiver module and reflects infrared reflected light to the infrared transceiver module; wherein, after receiving the infrared reflected light, the infrared transceiver module stops emitting infrared rays and starts timing to obtain the product arrival time.

[0009] Preferably, the moving module includes a fixed rod and a suspension assembly disposed on the fixed rod. The suspension assembly includes at least two suspension members, a detection module integrated on the suspension members, and a reflective member; wherein,

[0010] The suspension member is used for placing the product;

[0011] The detection module is used to detect whether a product is placed on the suspension member, and when a product is detected, a product placement signal is sent out;

[0012] The reflective member is used to receive the infrared rays emitted by the infrared transceiver module when the suspension member drives the product to reach the target position, and reflect the received infrared rays to form infrared reflected light.

[0013] Preferably, the microprocessor is used to receive the product placement signal sent by the detection module, and after receiving the product placement signal, turn on the infrared transceiver module corresponding to the target position of the suspension member and send an infrared emission signal to the infrared transceiver module.

[0014] Preferably, the infrared transceiver module corresponds to the target position of each suspension member one by one;

[0015] Each infrared transceiver module includes an infrared emission module and an infrared reception module; wherein,

[0016] The infrared emission module continuously emits infrared rays in a preset direction to the target position after receiving the infrared emission signal, and stops emitting infrared rays after receiving an infrared pause signal;

[0017] The infrared reception module is used to sense the infrared reflected light, and after sensing the infrared reflected light, send an infrared pause signal to the infrared emission module to make the infrared emission module stop emitting infrared rays.

[0018] Preferably, the microprocessor is also used to set a reminder time based on a preset product standing time and the product arrival time;

[0019] The suspension assembly further includes a buzzer;

[0020] The buzzer is used to emit a beeping sound at the reminder time.

[0021] Preferably, when the reminder time is reached, the microprocessor sends a product shipping signal to the moving module to make the moving module drive the product to move in a direction away from the initial position.

[0022] Preferably, a blocking member is provided at the end of the fixed rod, and a touch sensor is provided inside the blocking member;

[0023] The touch sensor is used to contact the moving module that drives the product, and when it contacts the moving module, it sends new touch data to the microprocessor, so that the count of the microprocessor's static state is incremented by one.

[0024] Preferably, only when the current suspension member reaches the target position and the infrared transceiver module corresponding to the suspension member one by one has stopped emitting infrared rays, the suspension member behind the current suspension member starts to drive the product to move from the initial position to the target position.

[0025] The present invention also provides a product transfer and static placement method, wherein the product transfer and static placement is realized based on the product transfer and static placement device as described above, including:

[0026] Loading the product through a preset moving module, and sending a loading signal after loading the product;

[0027] Based on the loading signal, the infrared transceiver module corresponding to the moving module is turned on; and, the moving module drives the product to move from the initial position to the target position. When the product reaches the target position, the moving module is irradiated by the infrared rays emitted by the infrared transceiver module. The moving module receives the infrared rays, reflects the received infrared rays to form infrared reflected light, and emits the infrared reflected light to the infrared transceiver module;

[0028] After receiving the infrared reflected light, the infrared transceiver module stops emitting infrared rays and starts timing to obtain the product arrival time.

[0029] Preferably, only when the current moving module reaches the target position and the infrared transceiver module corresponding to the suspension member has stopped emitting infrared rays, the moving module behind the current moving module starts to drive the product to move from the initial position to the target position.

[0030] As can be seen from the above technical solutions, the product transfer and static placement device and method provided by the present invention coordinate the call of the moving module and the infrared transceiver device through the microprocessor. The moving module drives the product to move from the initial position to the target position. When the product reaches the target position, the moving module is irradiated by the infrared rays emitted by the infrared transceiver module and reflects infrared reflected light to the infrared transceiver module. After the infrared transceiver module receives the infrared reflected light, it stops emitting infrared rays and starts timing to obtain the product arrival time. Therefore, when dispensing and other static placement processes are required for electronic products, the product is placed on the moving module, so that the moving module drives the product to reach the target position for static placement, and at the same time starts timing, which can automatically count the static time of the product, saving the static placement operation space of the product, facilitating the statistics of the static time length, reducing the workload of the operator, and reducing the risk of operator misoperation.

[0031] By referring to the following description of the specification in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, and with a more comprehensive understanding of the present invention, other objects and results of the present invention will become more apparent and easier to understand. In the drawings:

[0032] Figure 1 is a logical schematic diagram of a product transfer and static placement device according to an embodiment of the present invention;

[0035] In the prior art, generally, an operator is relied on to place the product in a designated area on the desktop for static placement. However, this method not only occupies a large area but also is not convenient for automatically counting the static placement time, resulting in a large workload for factory operators and increasing the risk of operator's incorrect operations.

[0036] In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a product transfer and static placement device and method. The following will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present invention in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0037] To illustrate the product transfer and static placement device and method provided by the present invention, Figures 1 - 3 exemplary markings are made on the embodiments of the present invention.

[0038] The following description of the exemplary embodiments is actually only illustrative and in no way limits the present invention and its application or use. Technologies and devices known to those of ordinary skill in the relevant art may not be discussed in detail, but where appropriate, such technologies and devices should be regarded as part of the specification.

[0039] As Figure 1 、 Figure 2 collectively shown, the product transfer and static placement device 100 provided by the present invention includes a microprocessor 110, a mobile module 120 communicatively connected to the microprocessor, and an infrared transceiver module 130; wherein,

[0040] The microprocessor 110 is configured to call and activate the infrared transceiver module 130 according to the loading signal of the mobile module 120, so that the infrared transceiver module emits infrared rays;

[0041] The moving module 120 is used to send a loading signal after loading the product and drive the product to move from the initial position to the target position. When the product reaches the target position, the moving module is irradiated by the infrared rays emitted by the infrared transceiver module (also called the infrared transceiver unit) and reflects infrared reflected light to the infrared transceiver module 130. Among them, after receiving the infrared reflected light, the infrared transceiver module 130 stops emitting infrared rays and starts timing to obtain the arrival time of the product. Thus, when performing operations such as dispensing on electronic products that require static treatment, the product is placed on the moving module, so that the moving module drives the product to reach the target position for static placement, and at the same time, timing is started, which can automatically count the static time of the product. While saving the static operation space of the product, it is convenient to count the static duration, thereby reducing the workload of the operator and reducing the risk of misoperation by the operator.

[0042] In this embodiment, the moving module 120 includes a fixed rod and a suspension assembly arranged on the fixed rod. The suspension assembly includes at least two suspension members, a detection module integrated on the suspension member, and a reflector. Among them, the suspension member is used to place the product; the detection module is used to detect whether a product is placed on the suspension member, and when it detects that a product is placed, it sends a product placement signal; the reflector is used to receive the infrared rays emitted by the infrared transceiver module when the suspension member drives the product to reach the target position and reflect the received infrared rays to form infrared reflected light.

[0043] More specifically, the fixed rod is a fixed crossbar, and the suspension assembly is the assembly suspended on the fixed rod. The suspension assembly includes at least two suspension members, that is, at least two (several) suspension members are fixed on the fixed rod. The suspension member can be a hook or a hanging basket, that is, multiple movable hooks or hanging baskets are arranged on a fixed rod. The suspension assembly further includes a detection module and a reflector integrated on the suspension member. The detection module can be a sensor with detection functions such as a gravity sensor, and the reflector can be a mirror. That is, multiple movable hooks or hanging baskets with sensors and mirrors are arranged on the fixed rod. Thus, when a product is placed on the hook or hanging basket, the sensor can detect it, and thus can send a product placement signal. Furthermore, after the microprocessor receives the product placement signal, it turns on the infrared transceiver module (infrared transceiver unit), and at the same time, the hook or hanging basket drives the product to move to the target position.

[0044] The target position is a position point that is preset and evenly distributed on the fixed rod. Each hook or hanging basket corresponds to a position point. Products are sequentially placed on the hooks or hanging baskets at one end of the fixed rod, and the placed hooks or hanging baskets sequentially move to the other end of the fixed rod. The target position corresponding to the front hook is closer to the other end of the fixed rod.

[0045] The microprocessor 110 is configured to receive the product placement signal sent by the detection module, and after receiving the product placement signal, activate the infrared transceiver module corresponding to the target position of the suspension member (which can be one-to-one correspondence), and send an infrared emission signal to the infrared transceiver module.

[0046] Among them, the infrared transceiver modules 130 are in one-to-one correspondence with the target positions of the respective suspension members. That is, a rod parallel to the fixed rod is provided opposite the fixed rod, and a plurality of infrared transceiver modules are equidistantly arranged on this rod, and each infrared transceiver module corresponds to a target position.

[0047] Each infrared transceiver module 130 includes an infrared emission module and an infrared reception module. Among them,

[0048] After receiving the infrared emission signal, the infrared emission module continuously emits infrared rays in a preset direction towards the target position, and stops emitting infrared rays after receiving the infrared pause signal.

[0049] The infrared reception module is configured to sense the infrared reflected light, and after sensing the infrared reflected light, send an infrared pause signal to the infrared emission module to cause the infrared emission module to stop emitting infrared rays.

[0050] In this embodiment, the microprocessor 110 is further configured to set a reminder time based on a preset product standing time and the product arrival time, so as to notify the operator when the reminder time is reached, or move the suspension member with the attached product to the tail of the fixed rod (the end where the product is placed is the head, and the other end is the tail), facilitating the operator to collect the products that have stood still.

[0051] Correspondingly, in a specific embodiment, the suspension assembly further includes a buzzer, which is configured to emit a beeping sound at the reminder time to remind the operator to handle the products that have stood still; in another specific embodiment, when the reminder time is reached, the microprocessor 110 sends a product shipping signal to the mobile module 120, so that the mobile module 120 drives the product to move in a direction away from the initial position, and thus all the products that have completed standing still are brought to the other end of the fixed rod (the end away from the initial position) in turn, facilitating the operator to store the products that have stood still.

[0052] And in this embodiment, a blocking member is provided at the end of the fixed rod, and a touch sensor is provided inside the blocking member; the touch sensor is used to contact the moving module that drives the product, and when it contacts the moving module, it sends new touch data to the microprocessor, so that the static completion count of the microprocessor is incremented by one. Thus, when the moving module 120 drives the product to move away from the initial position, and so on, when all the products that have completed static placement are brought to the other end of the fixed rod (the end away from the initial position), the blocking member can block the moving module. And when a new moving module that drives the product comes to the end of the fixed rod, the touch sensor will be impacted, thereby generating new touch data to increment the static completion count of the microprocessor, so as to facilitate the microprocessor at the backend to count the total static completion count of the static products within a preset time.

[0053] In this embodiment, for the convenience of orderly operation, only when the current hanging member reaches the target position and the infrared transceiver module corresponding to the hanging member has stopped emitting infrared rays, the hanging member behind the current hanging member starts to drive the product to move from the initial position to the target position.

[0054] For example, assume that the user starts to place the first product. Taking the hook hanging member as an example, the pressure sensor of the first hook will output a product placement signal to the microprocessor. The microprocessor controls the moving module to start moving the first hook to the designated position. At the same time, the infrared transceiver unit corresponding to the first hook starts to emit infrared light and waits for the feedback signal. When the first hook successfully reaches the designated position, the reflector of the hook will reflect the infrared light from the infrared transceiver unit corresponding to the first hook. If the infrared transceiver unit successfully receives the infrared reflected light, it means that the first hook has reached the designated position; if the infrared transceiver unit does not receive the infrared reflected light, it means that the first hook is still in the moving state. Assume that at this time the user starts to place the remaining products, then the hooks corresponding to the remaining products will not move until the first hook reaches the designated position, and then the above steps are repeated to move the remaining hooks to the target position in sequence.

[0055] As described above, the product transmission and static placement device provided by the present invention, when performing operations such as dispensing on electronic products that require static placement, places the product on the moving module, so that the moving module drives the product to reach the target position for static placement, and at the same time starts timing, which can automatically count the static placement time of the product. While saving the static placement operation space of the product, it is convenient to count the static placement duration, thereby reducing the workload of the operator and reducing the risk of misoperation by the operator.

[0056] In addition, as Figure 3As shown in the figure, the present invention also provides a product transfer and static placement method, which realizes product transfer and static placement based on the product transfer and static placement device described above, including:

[0057] Loading the product through a preset moving module, and sending a loading signal after loading the product;

[0058] Based on the loading signal, turning on the infrared transceiver module corresponding to the moving module one by one; and, the moving module drives the product to move from the initial position to the target position. When the product reaches the target position, the moving module is irradiated by the infrared rays emitted by the infrared transceiver module. The moving module receives the infrared rays, reflects the received infrared rays to form infrared reflected light, and emits the infrared reflected light to the infrared transceiver module;

[0059] After receiving the infrared reflected light, the infrared transceiver module stops emitting infrared rays and starts timing to obtain the product arrival time.

[0060] In this embodiment, only when the current moving module reaches the target position and the infrared transceiver module corresponding to the suspension part has stopped emitting infrared rays, the moving module behind the current moving module starts to drive the product to move from the initial position to the target position.

[0061] For specific embodiments, reference may be made to the specific implementation manner of the above product transfer and static placement device, which will not be elaborated here.

[0062] As shown above, for the product transfer and static placement method provided by the present invention, the infrared transceiver module corresponding to the moving module is turned on based on the loading signal. The moving module drives the product to move from the initial position to the target position. When the product reaches the target position, the moving module is irradiated by the infrared rays emitted by the infrared transceiver module. The moving module receives the infrared rays, reflects the received infrared rays to form infrared reflected light, and emits the infrared reflected light to the infrared transceiver module. After receiving the infrared reflected light, the infrared transceiver module stops emitting infrared rays and starts timing to obtain the product arrival time. Thus, when dispensing glue or other static placement treatments are required for electronic products, the product is placed on the moving module, so that the moving module drives the product to reach the target position for static placement, and at the same time, timing is started, which can automatically count the static placement time of the product. While saving the static placement operation space of the product, it is convenient to count the static placement duration, thereby reducing the workload of the operator and reducing the risk of operator's misoperation.

[0063] As described above by way of example with reference to the drawings, the product transfer and static placement device and method proposed according to the present invention are described.
