[0002] At present, in the field of circuit board production and manufacturing, high-end intelligent fully automatic production is an advancing trend; the loading of circuit boards on existing production lines all adopts semi-automatic or fully automatic methods, but the existing automation only transfers the PCB board from the loading cart to the production line through a manipulator; at present, for the automatic production of the PLASMA process, the clamping frame carrying the PCB board needs to be placed vertically and at equal intervals in the PLASMA plasma degumming machine, and then the clamping frame is taken out after degumming. And the operations required to accurately set the PCB board on the clamping frame are very complex. Almost no full automation has been achieved in the existing PCB production process, and it is all semi-automatic loading, which hinders the development of intelligent full automation in PCB manufacturing.

[0054] See further Figure 5, It should be noted that in this embodiment, the second motor 311 is connected to two vertically symmetrically arranged second linear slide table modules 312 through a transmission rod 313. Gripping components 330 are symmetrically arranged on the two linear slide table modules 312. By using one motor to control the synchronous up and down movement of the two gripping components 330, the clamping plate frame 204 can be stably gripped and driven to move up and down; the gripping component 330 includes a gripping cylinder 331, and a clamping member 332 is arranged at the movable end of the gripping cylinder 331.

The gripping cylinder 331 drives the clamping member 332 to be inserted into the clamping groove 2043 to stably grip the clamping plate frame 204

[0055] Further refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 , in this embodiment, a first coordinate sensor 2021 electrically connected to the central controller is arranged on the first linear slide table module 202 to construct a coordinate system of the transmission device 200 in the central controller, so that each clamping plate frame 204 can be accurately controlled to move below the gripping component 330, so that the gripping component 330 can grip and insert and remove the clamping plate frame 204 up and down; a second coordinate sensor 3121 electrically connected to the central controller is arranged on the second linear slide table module 312 to construct a coordinate system of the plugging and unclamping device 300 in the central controller, so that the up and down travel of the gripping component 330 can be accurately controlled, and the automatic process of lifting the clamping plate frame 204 to the required height upward or just plugging it back into the board rack 203 downward can be completed.

[0056] Further refer to Figure 6 , in this embodiment, the clamping plate frame 204 includes a fixed frame bar 2041 and a movable frame bar 2042 that are parallel to each other. Plate clamps 205 are arranged on both the fixed frame bar 2041 and the movable frame bar 2042. A clamping area 206 is formed between the fixed frame bar 2041 and the movable frame bar 2042. The movable frame bar 2042 can move relative to the fixed frame bar 2041 to adjust the size of the clamping area 206, so that the automatic production of PCB boards with different sizes can be satisfied without replacing the clamping plate frame 204.

[0057] Further refer to Figures 6 - 8 , in this embodiment, the unclamping mechanism 320 includes a main frame 321. Both sides of the main frame 321 are slidably connected to the fixed frame 100 through slide cylinders 323. A position sensor 324 is arranged on the slide cylinder 323 to ensure that the front end of the main frame 321 is driven by the slide cylinder 323 to move to a position just abutting against the clamping plate frame 204. An unclamping cylinder 322 is arranged on the main frame 321; the slide cylinder 323 drives the main frame 321 to approach the gripping component 330 and abut against the clamping plate frame 204, and the unclamping member 3221 extends out to open the plate clamp 205.

[0058] More specifically, in this embodiment, a rotary telescopic cylinder 325 is provided on the main frame 321. A stabilizing head 3251 is provided at the movable end of the rotary telescopic cylinder 325. The rotary telescopic cylinder 325 can drive the stabilizing head 3251 to extend / rotate / retract so as to abut against and stably clamp the clamping plate frame 204, so that when the second manipulator 402 plates the clamping plate frame 204, the clamping plate frame 204 will not shake, ensuring the accuracy and stability of the plating and clamping.

[0059] More specifically, in this embodiment, a third motor 326 is further provided on the main frame 321. The third motor 326 is connected

[0060] to a third linear slide table module 327. A moving frame 328 is provided on the third linear slide table module 327. Both ends of the moving frame 328 are slidably connected to the main frame 321 through a slide rail mechanism to further improve the stability during its up and down movement. The moving direction of the moving frame 328 is the same as the moving direction of the moving frame bar 2042, both being linear movement in the up and down direction. A positioning cylinder 329 is provided on the moving frame 328. A positioning head 3291 is provided at the movable end of the positioning cylinder 329. A positioning hole 2044 is correspondingly provided on the moving frame bar 2042. The positioning cylinder 329 drives the positioning head 3291 to penetrate into the positioning hole 2044 to dock with the moving frame bar 2042. The third motor 326 drives the moving frame 328 to drive the moving frame bar 2042 to move, so as to adjust the size of the clamping plate area 206. An open-clamping cylinder 322 and a

[0061] rotary telescopic cylinder 325 are correspondingly provided on the moving frame 328. Through the control of the central controller, this setting can complete the automatic adjustment of the size of the clamping plate area 206, without the need for manual adjustment of the size of the clamping plate area 206 according to different sizes of PCB boards by humans, further improving the efficiency of PCB production automation.

[0062] Meanwhile, in this embodiment, a third coordinate sensor 3271 electrically connected to the central controller is provided on the third linear slide table module 327, so as to construct a coordinate system of the moving frame 328 in the central controller, and accurately adjust the size of the clamping plate area 206 of the clamping plate frame 204 according to the corresponding size of the produced PCB board.

[0063] Further referring to Figure 3 , in this embodiment, the first loading device 500 further includes a scanner electrically connected to the central controller. The scanner can obtain the size information of the PCB board on the PCB board lifting table 501 and transmit it back to the central controller to guide the moving frame 328 to accurately adjust the size of the clamping plate area 206 of the clamping plate frame 204.

[0064] It should be noted that the above linear slide table module can be a lead screw slide table module or a synchronous belt slide table module, preferably

[0065] The tread belt sliding table module. The synchronous belt drive has an accurate transmission ratio, no slip, can obtain a constant speed ratio, smooth transmission, can absorb vibration, low noise, a large transmission ratio range, generally up to 1:10. The allowable linear speed can reach 50M / S, and the transmitted power ranges from a few watts to hundreds of kilowatts. The transmission efficiency is high, generally up to 98%, the structure is compact, suitable for multi-axis transmission, does not require lubrication, and is pollution-free. Therefore, it can work normally in places where pollution is not allowed and the working environment is relatively harsh. At the same time, all the above-mentioned signal transmission or power drive components such as motors, sensors, and cylinders are electrically connected to the central controller, and this automatic line performs signal acquisition and actuation through the central controller. Through the settings of the central controller and the coordinate sensor, precise control of the movable position of the displacement stroke can be achieved, and there is no need to set other additional in-place sensors and limit mechanisms. Expect complex settings through a more intelligent solution to simplify the equipment

[0066] To sum up, the operation process of this PCB loading and unloading automatic line is summarized as follows. The transmission device 200 will drive the board carrier 203 to move, so that the first clamping plate frame 204 is located directly below the grasping component. Then, the plugging and unplugging mechanism controls the grasping component to move downward, and the grasping cylinder of the grasping component positions and fixes the clamping plate frame 204. Then, it drives the clamping plate frame 204 upward to the fixed upper plate position, and the clamping plate frame 204 is pulled out and separated from the board carrier 203. Then, the clamping release mechanism 320 is actuated, and the sliding table cylinder 323 drives the front part of the main frame 321

[0067] The end face moves and presses the clamping plate frame 204. The rotating telescopic cylinder 325 drives the stabilizing head 3251 to extend, rotate, and retract to stably clamp the clamping plate frame 204. The alignment cylinder 329 drives the alignment head 3291 to penetrate into the alignment hole 2044 of the moving frame bar 2042, completing the alignment of the moving frame 328 and the moving frame bar 2042. At the same time, the limit of the moving frame bar 2042 is released, enabling the moving frame bar 2042 to move relative to the fixed frame bar 2041 (normally, the moving frame bar 2042 will maintain a fixed distance from the fixed frame bar 2041 through a limiting mechanism and cannot slide relative to the fixed frame bar 2041). The third motor 326 drives the moving frame 328 to drive the moving frame bar 2042 to move, adjusting the clamping plate area 206 to the corresponding size. The clamping cylinder 322 drives the clamping member 3221 to extend to open the plate clamp 205; while the above process is in progress, the first upper plate device 500 and the second upper plate device 400 are also running synchronously. The scanner 503 identifies the size information of the PCB board and uploads it to the central controller. The first manipulator transfers the PCB board to the PCB board positioning table 401. Then, the vision camera 403 takes a photo to obtain the specific position information of the PCB board, guiding the second manipulator 402 to accurately grab the PCB board at a fixed point and transfer it to the clamping plate frame 204. Then, the rotating telescopic cylinder 325, the alignment cylinder 329, and the sliding table cylinder 323 of the clamping mechanism 320 all retract. The plate clamp 205 closes and clamps the PCB board. The plugging and unplugging mechanism 310 drives the clamping plate frame 204 with the PCB board installed to move downward and plug back into the original position of the board rack cart 203. The grasping cylinder 331 retracts to release the clamping plate frame 204. Then, the above steps are repeated until all the clamping plate frames 204 on the board rack cart 203 are installed with PCB boards.
