The outside of the first fixing posts 54 can be threadedly installed with second fixing posts 55. The outside of the first fixing posts 54 or the second fixing posts 55 is threadedly installed with clamping blocks 56. The middle of the clamping block 56 is set with a clamping plate according to the bearing plate 10 to ensure that the bearing plate 10 does not slip when clamping it.

[0046] An auxiliary processing table 9 is also provided on the base plate 1. The auxiliary processing table 9 is equipped with processing components. The range of motion of the robotic arm 12 includes the entire section of the conveyor belt 6 and the entire range of the auxiliary processing table 9.

[0047] The auxiliary processing table 9 is welded and fixed to the base plate 1. The auxiliary processing table 9 is placed on the side away from the first drive motor 2, so that the robotic arm 12 can transfer the carrier plate 10.

[0048] The processing assembly includes a fixed base 39 mounted on an auxiliary processing table 9. A first moving groove 40 is formed on the side wall of the fixed base 39, and a second moving groove 41 is formed on the top of the fixed base 39. A processing plate 45 is welded to the fixed base 39 below the first moving groove 40.

A second moving block 42 is slidably arranged in the second moving groove 41, and a cutting disc 50 is movably arranged on the second moving block 42.

A wiping cloth is provided on the lower surface of the first moving block 46, and the wiping cloth abuts against the upper surface of the processing plate 45.

[0049] A mounting plate 43 is welded to one side of the second moving block 42. A horizontal plate 44 is welded to the mounting plate 43. A third drive motor 52 is threaded onto the end of the horizontal plate 44. A movable plate 51 is sleeved on the output end of the third drive motor 52. A guard plate 49 is fixedly installed on the movable plate 51. A second drive motor 48 is threaded onto one side of the guard plate 49. The output shaft of the second drive motor 48 extends to the other side of the guard plate 49 and is connected to the cutting disc 50.

[0050] A control box 53 is also threadedly installed on one side of the horizontal plate 44.

[0051] The angle of the movable plate 51 is controlled by the third drive motor 52, thereby adjusting the height of the cutting disc 50 so that the cutting disc 50 is close to the groove 47.

[0052] The first drive motor 2 is disposed on one side of the first fixed plate 14. The first fixed plate 14 is welded and fixed to the base plate 1. The output end of the first drive motor 2 passes through the first fixed plate 14 and a first rotating sleeve 16 is fixedly installed at the output end of the first drive motor 2. One end of the rotating shaft 18 extends to the top of the first fixed plate 14 and a second rotating sleeve 17 is fixedly installed thereon. A synchronous belt 15 is tensioned between the second rotating sleeve 17 and the first rotating sleeve 16.

[0053] The first drive motor 2 drives the first rotating sleeve 16 to rotate, which in turn drives the second rotating sleeve 17 to rotate, and the rotation of the second rotating sleeve 17 drives the conveyor belt 6 to work.

[0054] A limiting groove 27 is formed on the upper surface of the fixing block 5. The limiting groove 27 is adapted to the limiting block 29, and the bottom of the limiting block 29 is arc-shaped. The friction between the arc-shaped limiting block 29 and the limiting groove 27 is small, so as to avoid affecting the conveying operation of the conveyor belt 6 to the carrier plate 10.

[0055] The traction assembly includes several sliding grooves 35 formed on the surface of the vertical plate 8 near the conveyor belt 6. A slider 36 is slidably disposed within the sliding grooves 35. A first electric telescopic mechanism 37 is threaded onto the slider 36. A circular hole 38 is formed at the top of the output end of the first electric telescopic mechanism 37, and the circular hole 38 is adapted to a connecting end 31. The connecting end 31 moves into the circular hole 38, and the outer ring of the connecting end 31 abuts against the inner wall of the circular hole 38.

[0056] The fixed block 5 has protrusions 20 on both sides corresponding to the slider 36, and a movable groove 21 is provided between the protrusions 20. The width of the movable groove 21 is the same as the height of the locking block 30, and the locking block 30 slides inside the movable groove 21. Vertical grooves 24 are also provided on both sides of the fixed block 5, and the vertical grooves 24 are connected to the movable grooves 21. The width of the vertical grooves 24 is the same as the width of the movable block 11.

[0057] Rubber pads 22 are provided on the side walls of the vertical groove 24, and an electric push rod 23 is provided on one side of the vertical groove 24. The end of the electric push rod 23 extends into the interior of the vertical groove 24, and the upper surface of the end of the electric push rod 23 is on the same horizontal plane as the lower surface of the movable groove 21.

[0058] Furthermore, when the movable block 11 is pulled by the conveyor belt 6 to move above the vertical groove 24, it falls into the vertical groove 24 due to gravity. The output end of the electric push rod 23 blocks the movable block 11, causing the locking block 30 on the movable block 11 to move to the plane of the movable groove 21. At the same time, the connecting end 31 on the lower surface of the movable block 11 is embedded in the round hole 38 opened in the middle of the output end of the first electric telescopic machine 37. By moving the first electric telescopic machine 37, the movable block 11 is driven to move towards the starting point.

[0059] Specifically, the vertical plate 8 is provided with a first driving component for driving the slider 36 to move, and the fixed base 39 is provided with a second driving component for driving the second moving block 42 and the first moving block 46 to move. Both the first driving component and the second driving component are screw drives.

[0060] When the movable block 11 descends, the movable rod 32, which is rotatably installed inside the mounting block 25, contacts the upper surface of the fixed block 5. Under the influence of gravity, the second connecting plate 26 and the support plate 28 are lifted vertically to avoid collision with the frame 4.

[0061] Working principle:

[0062] The first drive motor 2 drives the first rotating sleeve 16 and the second rotating sleeve 17 to rotate via the synchronous belt 15, thereby driving the rotating shaft 18 to rotate, which in turn drives the conveyor belt 6 to run. By placing the carrier plate 10 on the pallet 28 installed on the movable block 11, the bottom of the pallet 28 and the carrier plate 10 are in contact with the conveyor belt 6, and the carrier plate 10 is moved by the conveyor belt 6 to perform OBC control board detection.

[0063] When the carrier plate 10 moves to the designated position, the first drive motor 2 stops working, the conveyor belt 6 stops, and the ejection mechanism starts. The second electric telescopic mechanism 57 pushes the top plate 58 upward, the top plate 58 contacts the carrier plate 10, and drives the carrier plate 10 upward, bringing it close to the laser detector 7. The laser detector 7 scans and inspects the OBC control board on the carrier plate 10, checking for appearance defects, solder joints, and foreign objects on its surface.

[0064] If a defect is found in the OBC control board, the robotic arm 12 is started, and the clamping block 56 on the first connecting plate 13 at its output end clamps the carrier plate 10 and transfers the carrier plate 10 to the auxiliary processing table 9 for repair.

[0065] If the OBC control board is found to be without problems, the second electric telescopic machine 57 is reset, the first drive motor 2 is restarted, the conveyor belt 6 works, and the OBC control board is moved forward. At the same time, the PCB control board and the carrier plate 10 are taken out by the external gripping device, and the movable block 11 continues to move forward.

[0066] When the movable block 11 moves to the vertical groove 24, it falls into the vertical groove 24 due to gravity. The output end of the electric push rod 23 blocks the movable block 11, causing the locking block 30 on the movable block 11 to move to the plane of the movable groove 21. At the same time, the connecting end 31 on the lower surface of the movable block 11 is embedded in the round hole 38 in the middle of the output end of the first electric telescopic machine 37. By moving the first electric telescopic machine 37, the movable block 11 is moved back to the starting point for easy reset, and the bearing plate 10 is continuously lifted for testing.

[0067] The OBC control board, hereinafter referred to as the control board, is also equipped with a first camera for surface inspection of the control board on the frame 4, and a second camera for capturing the situation above the groove 47 on the surface of the auxiliary processing table 9. The laser detector 7 has a spectral analysis module.

[0068] The method for automatic detection and subsequent processing of control boards uses the automatic detection fixture described above.

[0069] S1. The control board is initially inspected using laser detector 7 to check for scratches, abrasions, and oil stains on its outer surface.

[0070] The laser detector 7 performs a simple, rough scan, and the first camera collects information from the surface of the control board to detect oil stains, scratches, and abrasions.

[0071] S1.01 If there are obvious protrusions on the surface of the control board, or if the camera captures obvious stains, and the system automatically analyzes the data to prove that there is dirt or oil on the surface of the control board, the system controls the robotic arm 12 to intervene and clamp the carrier plate 10 through the clamping component on the clamping block 56 and transfer it to the groove 47 on the processing plate 45. The system also prompts the operator to intervene and manually re-inspect the control board on the carrier plate 10. If there is dirt or oil, the operator selects different cleaning agents to replace the wiping cloth on the lower surface of the first moving block 46. The second drive component drives the first moving block 46 to slide back and forth in the first moving groove 40 to clean the dirt.

[0072] When the robotic arm 12 clamps the carrier plate 10, the ejection mechanism resets, and the second electric telescopic mechanism 57 drives the top plate 58 to move below the fixed block 5 to avoid affecting the rear movable block 11 to drive the other carrier plates 10 for testing.

[0073] S1.01.1 When the second camera on the auxiliary processing table 9 detects foreign objects on the surface, the third drive motor 52 is manually controlled to drive the movable plate 51 to rotate, the cutting disc 50 descends to 0.5mm from the surface of the control plate, the second drive motor 48 drives the cutting disc 50 at 10000rpm to remove metal debris, the first moving block 46 moves back and forth along the first moving groove 40 three times, and the wiping cloth wipes away residual particles.

[0074] S1.02, the laser detector 7, and the first camera, when inspecting the control board screen, set the height of the control board itself to a fixed height with no error. However, when the laser detector 7 continuously scanned the surface of the control board, the height reading changed. Furthermore, the first camera did not detect any oil stains or protrusions on the surface of the control board during information collection. Therefore, it can be concluded that there is a dent on the surface of the control board. The system determines that there are scratches or abrasions on the surface of the control board. The robotic arm 12 clamps the carrier plate 10 and transfers the carrier plate 10 to the processing board 45. The system then notifies the manual re-inspection and repair work to proceed. The area around the scratches is cleaned with a special electronic component cleaner. After drying, an electronic device touch-up paint pen or a special repair agent with a color similar to the surface of the control board is used for repair.

[0075] S1.03. After wiping or repairing the control board, place the control board and the carrier plate 10 back on the movable block 11, and send them back to the laser detector 7 via the conveyor belt 6 for re-inspection:

[0076] The ejection mechanism moves the support plate 10 back below the laser detector 7 for a second round of oil stain and scratch inspection. If no defects are found, further inspection is carried out.

[0077] S2. Using the laser detector 7, switch to high-precision mode to perform a 3D scan of the solder joint area on the control board. Begin depth inspection of the solder joints, and determine whether there are any errors by analyzing the solder joint height and combining it with the pre-stored drawings in the system.

[0078] S2.01. Set the reference value of the weld point height as h, and the actual weld point height as H. When Hh > 0.05 or hH > 0.05 mm, the system determines that the weld point has a problem of poor welding, that there are gaps inside the weld point or the connection is not firm. These gaps or incomplete filling will cause the height of the weld point to change. The system controls the robotic arm 12 to intervene and clamp the carrier plate 10 through the clamping component on the clamping block 56 and transfer it to the groove 47 on the processing plate 45 for reprocessing.

[0079] S2.02. The standard coordinate data of the control board is preset as (x,y) in the control system. The four corners of the control board are located by the laser detector, and the coordinate position of the welding point is calculated. By comparing whether there is a difference in the coordinate position, it is determined whether the welding point is misaligned or incorrect. If there is an error and the error is greater than 0.02mm, it is determined that there is a defect. The system controls the robotic arm 12 to intervene and clamp the carrier plate 10 through the clamping component on the clamping block 56 and transfer it to the groove 47 on the processing plate 45 for reprocessing.

[0080] Furthermore, during a single lifting action, the laser inspection instrument 7 sequentially performs a wide-angle surface scan and a micro-scan of the weld points. The standard coordinate data of the control board, including the precise position of each weld point, is pre-stored in the control system. The laser inspection instrument 7 performs a three-dimensional scan of the weld point area of ​​the control board to obtain the actual height H and coordinate position (X,Y) of each weld point. For each weld point, the deviation between the actual height H and the reference value h is calculated. If Hh > 0.05mm, Xx > 0.02mm, and Yy > 0.02mm, then the weld point has both a cold weld and a weld point position deviation problem. The system determines that there is a serious defect, notifies the staff, and transfers it to the auxiliary processing table 9 via the robotic arm 12 instead of placing it on the processing plate 45. The staff then performs manual re-inspection and high-precision manual repair.

[0081] Specifically, the control board screen detection in S1 can be combined with the solder joint detection in S2, saving the time of the robotic arm 12 grasping the carrier plate 10 and placing it on the processing plate 45 for repeated processing. The laser detector 7 is used to roughly scan whether there are scratches, abrasions and oil stains on the outer surface of the control board. Then, the laser detector 7 is switched to high-precision mode to detect the solder joint area. This avoids the need for secondary repair processing due to poor soldering and misaligned solder joints after the control board is transferred to the processing plate 45 for processing after the surface scratches and oil stains are detected. This saves detection time and transfer time and optimizes the detection process.

[0082] S2.02.1 Furthermore, when the laser detector 7 detects a height difference on the surface of the control board, and when the laser detector 7 is inspecting the solder joint area, a height difference also exists near the solder joint. Combining the overall acquisition of the control board and solder joint area by the first camera, the external analysis mechanism is first used to determine whether there is oil contamination. If there is no oil contamination, the subsequent situation is analyzed. Combining the image acquired by the first camera with manual observation of the acquired image, the laser detector 7 is used to analyze the surface scratch path. If the existing scratch is continuous with the height difference of the solder joint area, it is determined that the scratch extends to the solder joint area. At the same time, if the scratch leaves a mark in the solder joint area, it proves that the scratch is deep. In order to ensure that other aspects of the control board are normal, the robotic arm 12 moves the carrier plate 10 to the auxiliary processing table 9 and notifies the manual removal. Further inspection of other aspects is required, such as the inspection of electrical defects, to avoid damage to internal electronic components. At this time, the movable blocks 11 are unloaded, and the conveyor belt 6 increases its speed to inspect the next control board.

[0083] S2.03. Repair the solder joints using a micro soldering iron on the processing board 45. After repair, place it on the carrier plate 10 for re-inspection.

[0084] After repair, the carrier plate 10 is manually placed back onto the pallet 28 of the movable block 11, and the conveyor belt 6 sends it back to the S1 stage to re-perform the full process inspection to ensure that the repair does not introduce new defects.

[0085] S3. When no defects are found, the conveyor belt 6 continues to work, moving the carrier plate 10 and control plate that have completed the S1 and S2 inspection steps. This facilitates the movement of the control plate on the carrier plate 10 to the laser detector 7 for laser inspection of the S1 and S2 steps. At this time, the carrier plate 10 and control plate that have completed the inspection move to the ejection mechanism in the middle. Since the control plate on the rear carrier plate 10 is being inspected and the inspection on this carrier plate 10 has been completed and can be followed up, the ejection mechanism in the middle lifts up the pallet 28 and the carrier plate 10, notifying the external second robotic arm to collect or transfer them for further processing.

[0086] Furthermore, the middle ejection mechanism is reset, and there are no task items on the surface of the movable block 11 at this time. It waits for the laser detector 7 to detect the control plate between the rear movable blocks 11. If there are no problems in the subsequent detection, it is driven forward by the conveyor belt 6. When the subsequent movable block 11 moves to the middle ejection mechanism, the above steps are repeated for transfer.

[0087] Specifically, at this time, the foremost movable block 11 moves above the vertical groove 24. Under the influence of gravity, the movable block 11 falls into the vertical groove 24. The output end of the electric push rod 23 blocks the movable block 11, causing the locking block 30 on the movable block 11 to move to the plane of the movable groove 21. At the same time, the connecting end 31 on the lower surface of the movable block 11 is embedded in the round hole 38 in the middle of the output end of the first electric telescopic machine 37. By moving the first electric telescopic machine 37, the movable block 11 is moved towards the starting point, waiting for the inspection operation on the surface of the conveyor belt 6 to be carried out. After completion, the movable block 11 is manually pushed back into the uppermost movable groove 21, and the movable rod 32 is reset, so that the limiting block 29 is embedded in the limiting groove 27, and the pallet 28 and the carrier plate 10 are placed to facilitate continuous inspection.
