Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the technical field of PCB board take-up and take-up, specifically to a horizontal MAGAZINE type PCB board take-up and take-up machine. Background Technology

[0002] Circuit boards are named as follows: ceramic circuit board, alumina ceramic circuit board, aluminum nitride ceramic circuit board, circuit board, PCB board, aluminum substrate, high frequency board, thick copper board, impedance board, PCB, ultra-thin circuit board, ultra-thin circuit board, printed circuit board (copper etching technology), etc. Circuit boards miniaturize and visualize circuits, playing an important role in the mass production of fixed circuits and the optimization of electrical appliance layout. Circuit boards can also be called printed circuit boards or printed circuit boards, with English names including (Printed Circuit Board) PCB, (Flexible Printed Circuit Board) FPC (also known as flexible circuit board, a highly reliable and highly flexible printed circuit board made of polyimide or polyester film as the substrate, characterized by high wiring density, light weight, thinness, and good bending properties), and rigid-flex board (soft and hard combination plate). The birth and development of FPC and PCB gave rise to this new product, the rigid-flex board. Therefore, a rigid-flex PCB is a circuit board that combines flexible circuit boards and rigid circuit boards through processes such as lamination, according to relevant process requirements, to form a circuit board with both FPC and PCB characteristics.

[0003] In the process of PCB board manufacturing, in order to ensure the normal production and use of PCB boards, PCB boards cannot be stacked on each other. Therefore, PCB boards need to be placed separately. Currently, manual collection and placement of boards are mostly used, which results in low efficiency. Moreover, the current PCB board placement racks are mostly open structures, which easily lead to dust accumulation on the PCB boards. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a PCB horizontal MAGAZINE type take-up and take-down machine.

Detailed Implementation

[0017] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be practiced in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0018] It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intermediary component present. Conversely, when a component is said to be "directly" connected to another component, there is no intermediary component.

[0019] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.

[0020] like Figure 1 As shown, a PCB board horizontal MAGAZINE type board take-up and take-down machine includes a frame 1, a PCB board conveying mechanism 2, a PCB board handling mechanism 3, and at least one PCB board take-up mechanism 4. One end of the frame 1 has a PCB board receiving mechanism receiving cavity 11 for placing the PCB board receiving mechanism 4. The bottom of the PCB board receiving mechanism receiving cavity 11 has a receiving mechanism limiting component 5. The PCB board conveying mechanism 2 is installed in the frame 1 at the end away from the PCB board receiving mechanism receiving cavity 11. The PCB board handling mechanism 3 is installed in the frame 1 and is located between the PCB board receiving mechanism receiving cavity 11 and the PCB board conveying mechanism 2. The end of the PCB board receiving mechanism receiving cavity 11 near the PCB board handling mechanism 3 has a first automatic door 12, and the end away from the PCB board handling mechanism 3 has a second automatic door 13. like Figure 7 As shown, the PCB board receiving mechanism 4 includes a box 41, and multiple partitions 411 are evenly arranged inside the box. The box is a sealed structure.

[0021] The PCB board receiving mechanism 4 also includes an AGV trolley 42, which is installed at the bottom of the box 41 and is used to move the box 41. The box 41 has a QR code 412.

[0022] The AGV trolley 42 contains a control unit, which can receive control signals from the host computer and move the container 41 to a preset position via the AGV trolley 42. The type or model of the PCB board can be identified by scanning the QR code 412.

[0023] The plate retraction mechanism limiting assembly 5 includes a limiting base 51 and two symmetrically arranged limiting sub-assemblies 52. The limiting sub-assemblies 52 include a second cylinder 521 and a pressing plate 522. The second cylinder 521 is mounted on the limiting base 51, and the pressing plate 522 is mounted on the telescopic rod of the second cylinder 521.

[0024] When PCB boards need to be collected, the door of the box 41 is opened, and the second automatic door 13 is opened. The AGV trolley 42 carries the box 41 into the preset position in the PCB board collecting mechanism receiving cavity 11. The second cylinder 521 controls the pressing plate 522 to press against the box 41, making the box 41 unable to move. The second automatic door 13 closes. The PCB board is placed manually or automatically on the PCB board conveying mechanism 2 and sent to the preset position. After the PCB board handling mechanism 3 picks up the PCB board, the first automatic door 12 opens and the PCB board is placed on the partition 411 of the box 41. When the box 41 is full of PCB boards, the second cylinder 521 controls the pressing plate 522 to separate from the box 41. The AGV trolley 42 carries the box 41 out of the PCB board collecting mechanism receiving cavity 11, closes the door of the box 41, and moves the PCB board in the box 41 to the preset position.

[0025] In this way, the PCB horizontal MAGAZINE type board take-up and take-down machine, through the coordinated arrangement of PCB board conveying mechanism 2, PCB board handling mechanism 3, and at least one PCB board take-up mechanism 4, automatically takes up PCB boards 6 by conveying PCB boards 6 through PCB board conveying mechanism 2 and placing PCB boards 6 on PCB board take-up mechanism 4 through PCB board handling mechanism 3, thereby saving labor costs and improving take-up efficiency. At the same time, the PCB board take-up mechanism 4 includes a box 41, in which multiple partitions 411 are evenly arranged. The box 41 is a sealed structure, which can separate the PCB boards 6 and prevent dust from sticking to the PCB boards, thus ensuring the cleanliness of the PCB boards.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, in one embodiment, the PCB board conveying mechanism 2 includes a support bracket 21, a first motor 22, a first rotating rod 23, a second rotating rod 24, a plurality of first magnetic wheels 25, a plurality of second magnetic wheels 26, and a plurality of magnetic conveying wheels 27. The first rotating rod 23 passes through the support bracket 21 and is fixedly connected to the first motor 22. The plurality of first magnetic wheels 25 are disposed on the first rotating rod 23. The second rotating rod 24 is mounted on the support bracket 21. The plurality of second magnetic wheels 26 are disposed on the second rotating rod 24 and are at a preset distance from the first magnetic wheels 25. The plurality of magnetic conveying wheels 27 are rotatably disposed on the support bracket 21 and are at a preset distance from the second magnetic wheels 26.

[0027] When it is necessary to transport the PCB board 6, the PCB board 6 is placed on multiple magnetic conveying wheels 27, the first motor 22 is started, the first motor 22 drives the first rotating rod 23 to rotate, the first rotating rod 23 drives multiple first magnetic wheels 25 to rotate, and the multiple first magnetic wheels 25 drive multiple second magnetic wheels 26 to rotate due to magnetic force during rotation, and the multiple second magnetic wheels 26 drive multiple magnetic conveying wheels 27 to rotate under the action of magnetic force, so that the PCB board 6 moves on the multiple magnetic conveying wheels 27.

[0028] In one embodiment, the PCB board conveying mechanism 2 further includes a plurality of limiting posts 28, which are disposed on the top two sides of the support bracket 21.

[0029] In this way, by setting a number of limit stops 28, the PCB board 6 can be effectively prevented from falling from both ends of the PCB board conveying mechanism 2 during the conveying process.

[0030] like Figure 3As shown, in one embodiment, the PCB board handling mechanism 3 includes a support base 31, a Z-axis moving component 32, a first rotating component 33, a second rotating component 34, a third rotating component 35, and a vacuum suction cup component 36. The Z-axis moving component 32 is mounted on the support base 31. One end of the first rotating component 33 is mounted on the Z-axis moving component 32, and the other end is rotatably connected to one end of the second rotating component 34. One end of the third rotating component 35 is rotatably connected to the other end of the second rotating component 34, and the other end is fixedly connected to the vacuum suction cup component 36.

[0031] like Figure 4 As shown, the first rotating component 33 includes a second motor 331, a second rotating shaft 332, and a second connecting arm 333. The second motor 331 is mounted on the Z-axis moving component 32. One end of the second rotating shaft 332 is connected to the second motor 331, and the other end is connected to the second connecting arm 333. The second connecting arm 333 has a hollow structure.

[0032] like Figure 5 As shown, the second rotating assembly 34 includes a third motor 341, a third rotating shaft 342, and a third connecting arm 343. The third motor 341 is installed inside the second connecting arm 343. One end of the third rotating shaft 342 is connected to the third motor 341, and the other end is connected to the third connecting arm 343.

[0033] In one embodiment, the third rotating assembly 35 includes a fourth motor and a fourth rotating shaft, the fourth motor being mounted inside the third connecting arm 343 and the fourth rotating shaft being mounted on the fourth motor.

[0034] like Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the vacuum suction cup assembly 36 includes a suction cup mounting base 361 and a vacuum suction cup 362. The suction cup mounting base 361 is mounted on the fourth rotating shaft, and the vacuum suction cup 362 is mounted on the suction cup mounting base 361.

[0035] Z-axis moving component 32 can move along the support base 31 in the Z-axis direction, thereby driving the first rotating component 33, the second rotating component 34, the third rotating component 35, and the vacuum suction cup component 36 to move in the Z-axis direction. The second motor 331 can drive the second connecting arm 333 to rotate via the second rotating shaft 332, the third motor 341 can drive the third connecting arm 343 to rotate via the third rotating shaft 342, and the fourth motor can drive the vacuum suction cup component 36 to rotate via the fourth rotating shaft. The vacuum suction cup 362 can adsorb the PCB board 6.

[0036] When it is necessary to move the PCB board 6, the PCB board is lifted by the vacuum suction cup 362 and then adsorbed onto the vacuum suction cup 362. According to the actual height of the box 41 where the PCB board 6 needs to be placed, the Z-axis moving component 32 moves the first rotating component 33, the second rotating component 34, the third rotating component 35 and the vacuum suction cup component 36 to a preset height. According to the angle at which the PCB board 6 needs to be placed, the first rotating component 33, the second rotating component 34 and the third rotating component 35 are adjusted to rotate, and the PCB board 6 on the vacuum suction cup 362 is placed on the partition 411. Then the vacuum suction cup 362 is pulled out from the box 41.

[0037] like Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, in order to make the PCB board 6 more stable on the vacuum suction cup 362, the PCB board handling mechanism 3 further includes a pressure plate assembly 37. The pressure plate assembly 37 includes a first cylinder 371 and a pressure plate 372. The first cylinder 371 is mounted on the suction cup mounting base 361, and the pressure plate 372 is mounted on the first cylinder 371.

[0038] Thus, when the PCB board 6 is placed on the vacuum suction cup 362, the first cylinder 371 controls the pressure plate 372 to move towards the PCB board 6 until the PCB board 6 is pressed firmly to prevent the PCB board 6 from falling off the vacuum suction cup 362; when the PCB board 6 is placed on the partition plate 411, the first cylinder 371 controls the pressure plate 372 to move away from the PCB board 6 to place the PCB board 6 on the partition plate 411.

[0039] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of the present invention, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of this invention patent should be determined by the appended claims.
