Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of machine tools, and in particular to an automatic material handling device for a coating and pinning equipment, and a coating and pinning equipment having the automatic material handling device of the coating and pinning equipment. Background Technology

[0002] Before drilling circuit boards, multiple circuit boards are stacked sequentially, allowing the drilling machine to drill multiple boards simultaneously, thus improving processing efficiency. The overlay and pinning equipment is used to wrap adhesive tape around the stacked circuit boards to secure them. Before overlaying and pinning, aluminum plates, circuit boards, and bakelite boards need to be stacked sequentially. Then, workers place the stacked boards into the preset processing positions on the overlay and pinning equipment for overlaying and pinning.

[0003] In related technologies, existing overmolding and pinning equipment all require multiple people to operate. One person stacks the aluminum plate, circuit board, and bakelite board, while another person places the stacked board into the preset processing position of the overmolding and pinning equipment. The board stacking process requires a lot of manpower, and the efficiency of stacking boards manually is low. At the same time, when production personnel stack the boards, they are prone to bending or scratching the circuit boards, which leads to a decrease in the yield rate of the circuit boards and increases the production cost of the circuit boards. Summary of the Invention

[0004] In order to reduce the labor costs in the process of encapsulation and pinning of circuit boards, improve the efficiency of board stacking, and increase the yield of circuit boards, this application provides an automatic material handling device for encapsulation and pinning equipment.

[0005] This application further proposes a device for applying a coating pin.

[0006] The automatic material handling device for a coating and pinning equipment provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: An automatic material handling device for a coating and pinning machine includes a first stacking area, a second stacking area, and a third stacking area. The first stacking area is suitable for placing aluminum plates, the second stacking area is suitable for placing circuit boards, and the third stacking area is suitable for placing bakelite boards. The device body includes a clamping mechanism, which includes a suction cup. A driving mechanism is mounted on the device body, and the clamping mechanism is mounted on the driving mechanism. The driving mechanism drives the clamping mechanism to move to the first stacking area, the second stacking area, or the third stacking area respectively, so that the clamping mechanism clamps the corresponding board material. The driving mechanism is adapted to drive the clamping mechanism to stack the sheet metal sequentially in the pre-loading area, wherein the sheet metal stacked in the pre-loading area, from top to bottom, is the aluminum plate, the circuit board, and the bakelite board, and the first stacking area, the second stacking area, the third stacking area, and the pre-loading area are arranged sequentially along the first direction of the automatic material handling device; the driving mechanism includes a first driving component and a second driving component, the first driving component is adapted to drive the clamping mechanism to move along the height direction of the automatic material handling device, and the second driving component is adapted to drive the clamping mechanism to move along the first direction.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, and using an automatic material handling device to automatically stack circuit boards into the pre-loading area, the labor cost of stacking circuit boards can be reduced, and the production efficiency of the overmolding and pinning equipment can be improved. Furthermore, the automatic material handling device uses suction cups to grip the circuit boards, ensuring that the clamping force on the circuit boards is uniform and gentle, minimizing the risk of bending, damage, or scratches during stacking, thereby improving the yield rate and reducing the production cost of the circuit boards.

[0008] Preferably, the clamping mechanism further includes a mounting base, which is mounted on the first driving assembly. The suction cup has a suction cup cavity, one end of the suction cup is fixedly connected to the mounting base, the end of the suction cup away from the mounting base has an air inlet adapted to face the sheet metal, and the end of the suction cup near the mounting base has an air outlet. Both the air inlet and the air outlet are connected to the suction cup cavity, and air is adapted to flow from the air inlet toward the air outlet. There are multiple suction cups, which are arranged sequentially at intervals along the circumferential direction of the mounting base.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, when the clamping mechanism clamps the sheet metal, the suction cup contacts and engages with the sheet metal. By allowing the air in the gap between the air inlet and the sheet metal to be discharged through the air outlet, a negative pressure is generated at the air inlet, and the air pressure in the suction cup cavity is lower than atmospheric pressure. Under the action of air pressure, the sheet metal is adsorbed by the suction cup, thus achieving the technical effect of the clamping mechanism clamping the sheet metal. Furthermore, by setting multiple suction cups, the uniformity of force on the sheet metal can be improved, avoiding excessive local force on the sheet metal that could cause bending. It can also increase the clamping force of the clamping mechanism. When some suction cups are damaged, causing the gap between the sheet metal and the air inlet to not be sealed, the undamaged suction cups can continue to clamp the sheet metal normally, thus improving the working reliability of the automatic material handling device.

[0010] Preferably, the clamping mechanism further includes a vacuum component, which is connected to the air outlet and is used to discharge gas into or out of the suction cup cavity.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, when the clamping mechanism clamps the material plate, the suction cup and the material plate are in pressure contact. The vacuum component causes gas to be discharged from the suction cup cavity, and a negative pressure can be generated at the air inlet, so that the air pressure in the suction cup cavity is lower than atmospheric pressure, achieving the technical effect of using negative pressure to allow the suction cup to adsorb the material plate. When the material plate is clamped into the pre-loading area and comes into contact with the plane of the pre-loading area or with other material plates, the vacuum component stops pumping gas, and the vacuum component is connected to the external environment to allow air to be discharged into the suction cup cavity. The air pressure at the air inlet of the suction cup is restored to equilibrium with the air pressure in the external environment, thereby separating the suction cup from the material plate.

[0012] Preferably, the automatic material handling device further includes: a controller configured to sequentially control the drive mechanism to drive the clamping mechanism to clamp corresponding sheets from the third stacking area, the second stacking area, and the first stacking area according to the stacking order of the sheets in the pre-loading area; a counter communicatively connected to the controller, the counter being used to record the number of sheets clamped by the clamping mechanism to the pre-loading area, and the controller further configured to control the drive mechanism to drive the clamping mechanism to clamp a preset number of aluminum sheets, circuit boards, and bakelite sheets respectively according to the counting signal of the counter.

[0013] By adopting the above technical solution, the automatic material handling device achieves the technical effect of automatically stacking the material by controlling the drive mechanism and the clamping mechanism to clamp the board material through the controller. This reduces the labor cost of operating the automatic material handling device and also reduces the time required for board material stacking, thereby improving the production efficiency of the overmolding and pinning equipment. By setting a counter to record the number of boards clamped by the clamping mechanism in the pre-feeding area, the accuracy of the automatic material handling device is improved.

[0014] Preferably, the first driving assembly includes a first driving member, a transmission rod, and a motion platform. The first driving member is connected and cooperates with the second driving assembly. The clamping mechanism is installed on the end wall of the motion platform near the sheet metal. The transmission rod extends along the height direction of the automatic material handling device and is drivingly connected between the first driving member and the motion platform. The first driving member is adapted to drive the motion platform to move along the transmission rod.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, during the process of the clamping mechanism clamping the material plate, the first driving member can drive the motion platform through the transmission rod to move the clamping mechanism closer to the material plate along the height direction of the automatic material handling device, so that the clamping mechanism can clamp the material plate from the first stacking area, the second stacking area, or the third stacking area. Furthermore, the first driving member can drive the motion platform through the transmission rod to move the clamping mechanism away from the material plate along the height direction of the automatic material handling device, so that the clamping mechanism can remove the material plate from the first stacking area, the second stacking area, or the third stacking area. When the clamping mechanism transports the material plate above the pre-loading area, the first driving member can drive the clamping mechanism closer to the plane of the pre-loading area along the height direction of the automatic material handling device, so that the clamping mechanism can stack the material plate in the pre-loading area. Finally, the first driving member can drive the clamping mechanism away from the plane of the pre-loading area along the height direction of the automatic material handling device, so that the clamping mechanism can remove the material plate from the pre-loading area.

[0016] Preferably, the motion platform is provided with a first position detection element, which is communicatively connected to the controller. The first position detection element is used to detect the distance between the clamping mechanism and the sheet metal. The controller is adapted to control the first driving element to work according to the detection signal of the first position detection element, and the counter is adapted to count according to the detection signal of the first position detection element.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting a first position detection component, when the first driving component drives the clamping mechanism to approach the sheet metal, the controller controls the first driving component according to the detection signal of the first position detection component, which can prevent the suction cup from pressing too hard against the sheet metal, thereby preventing damage to the sheet metal. Furthermore, the controller controls the counter to count through the detection signal of the first position detection component, which can improve the accuracy of the counter counting.

[0018] Preferably, the second drive assembly includes a motion bracket, a second drive member, and a guide rail. The second drive assembly is mounted on the device body. The guide rail extends along the first direction and is guided and engaged with the motion bracket. The second drive member is connected to the motion bracket in a transmission manner and is used to drive the motion bracket to move along the guide rail.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, when the clamping mechanism clamps the sheet material, the second driving member drives the motion bracket to move along the guide rail, so that the clamping mechanism moves directly above the first stacking area, the second stacking area, or the third stacking area respectively. When the first driving member drives the clamping mechanism to move downward, the clamping mechanism can clamp the corresponding sheet material. When the clamping mechanism clamps the sheet material to the pre-loading area, the second driving member drives the motion bracket to move along the guide rail, so that the clamping mechanism moves directly above the pre-loading area, so that when the clamping mechanism is driven by the first driving member and moves along the height direction of the automatic picking device, it can place the sheet material in the pre-loading area.

[0020] Preferably, the guide rail is provided with a second position detection element, which is communicatively connected to the controller. The second position detection element is used to detect the relative position between the motion bracket and the guide rail. The controller is also configured to control the second drive element to work according to the detection signal of the second position detection element, so that the clamping mechanism is respectively opposite to the first stacking area, the second stacking area, the third stacking area and the pre-loading area.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, when the clamping mechanism clamps a bakelite board, the second driving member drives the moving bracket to move along the guide rail. When the moving bracket moves directly above the third stacking area, the second position detection member sends a detection signal. After receiving the detection signal from the second position detection member, the controller controls the second driving member to stop moving. When the clamping mechanism clamps a circuit board or aluminum plate, the second detection member sends a detection signal to the controller to move the clamping mechanism directly above the second or third stacking area, thereby enabling the clamping mechanism to clamp the corresponding board. When the clamping mechanism stacks boards into the pre-loading area and the moving bracket moves directly above the pre-loading area, the second position detection member sends a detection signal to the controller, causing the controller to control the second driving member to stop moving, thereby enabling the clamping mechanism to accurately place the board into the pre-loading area. Preferably, there are multiple pre-feeding areas, and the multiple pre-feeding areas are arranged sequentially along the first direction.

[0022] By adopting the above technical solution and setting up multiple pre-feeding areas, when the board material is stacked in one of the pre-feeding areas and has not been transported to the overmolding and pinning equipment, the automatic material handling device can stack the board material to other pre-feeding areas, thereby improving the efficiency of the automatic material handling device in stacking the board material.

[0023] The coating and pinning device provided in this application adopts the following technical solution: A coating and pinning device includes: an automatic material handling device for sequentially stacking aluminum plates, circuit boards, and bakelite boards in a pre-loading area according to a preset stacking order; the automatic material handling device is the same as the automatic material handling device described above for coating and pinning; a coating machine having an operating table and a coating mechanism, the coating mechanism being disposed on the operating table and used to coat the stacked boards with adhesive; a pinning machine for pinning the stacked boards; and a unloading device for removing the stacked boards from the coating and pinning device.

[0024] By adopting the above technical solution and installing an automatic material handling device in the overmolding and pinning equipment, the automatic material handling device can automatically stack the circuit boards, reducing the labor cost of stacking and improving the production efficiency of the overmolding and pinning equipment. Furthermore, the automatic material handling device uses suction cups to grip the circuit boards, ensuring that the clamping force on the circuit boards is uniform and gentle, minimizing the risk of bending, damage, or scratches during stacking, thereby improving the yield rate and reducing the production cost of the circuit boards.

[0025] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. By using an automatic material handling device to automatically stack circuit boards into the pre-loading area, the labor costs of stacking circuit boards can be reduced, and the production efficiency of the overmolding and pinning equipment can be improved. Furthermore, the automatic material handling device uses suction cups to grip the circuit boards, ensuring that the clamping force on the circuit boards is uniform and gentle, minimizing the risk of bending, damage, or scratches during stacking. This improves the yield rate of the circuit boards and reduces their production costs.

[0026] 2. During the process of the clamping mechanism clamping the material plate, the first driving member can drive the motion platform through the transmission rod to move the clamping mechanism closer to the material plate along the height direction of the automatic material handling device, so that the clamping mechanism clamps the material plate from the first stacking area, the second stacking area, or the third stacking area. The first driving member can also drive the motion platform through the transmission rod to move the clamping mechanism away from the material plate along the height direction of the automatic material handling device, so that the clamping mechanism removes the material plate from the first stacking area, the second stacking area, or the third stacking area. When the clamping mechanism transports the material plate above the pre-loading area, the first driving member can drive the clamping mechanism closer to the plane of the pre-loading area along the height direction of the automatic material handling device, so that the clamping mechanism stacks the material plate in the pre-loading area. The first driving member can also drive the clamping mechanism away from the plane of the pre-loading area along the height direction of the automatic material handling device, so that the clamping mechanism removes the material plate from the pre-loading area.

Detailed Implementation

[0029] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0030] This application discloses an automatic material handling device 1000 for a coating and pinning equipment. The automatic material handling device 1000 is used to stack board materials into the pre-loading area of ​​the coating and pinning equipment. The board materials are aluminum plates, circuit boards and bakelite boards. The coating and pinning equipment can perform coating and pinning processes on the stacked board materials.

[0031] Reference Figures 1-4The automatic material handling device 1000 according to the embodiments of this application includes: a drive mechanism 300, a clamping mechanism 200, a device body 100, a first stacking area 101, a second stacking area 102, and a third stacking area 103. The device body 100 provides mounting positions for each mechanism. In some embodiments, the automatic material handling device 1000 may further include a storage component, which has multiple stacking slots 10. At least one stacking slot 10 has a first stacking area 101 formed therein, at least one stacking slot 10 has a second stacking area 102 formed therein, and at least one stacking slot 10 has a third stacking area 103 formed therein. The first stacking area 101, the second stacking area 102, and the third stacking area 103 are all independent of each other, and the stacking slots 10 can fix the position of the sheet metal. Of course, in other embodiments, the area where the automatic material handling device 1000 is located may be divided into a first stacking area 101, a second stacking area 102, and a third stacking area 103.

[0032] The first stacking area 101 is suitable for placing aluminum plates, the second stacking area 102 is suitable for placing circuit boards, and the third stacking area 103 is suitable for placing bakelite boards. The first stacking area 101, the second stacking area 102, and the third stacking area 103 are spaced apart from each other to minimize the mixing of boards within these areas. Figure 1 For example, the first stacking area 101, the second stacking area 102, the third stacking area 103 and the pre-loading area 104 are arranged sequentially along the first direction of the automatic material handling device 1000.

[0033] The clamping mechanism 200 includes a suction cup 201. A drive mechanism 300 is mounted on the device body 100. The clamping mechanism 200 is mounted on the drive mechanism 300, which includes a first drive assembly 301 and a second drive assembly 302. The drive mechanism 300 is used to drive the clamping mechanism 200 to a corresponding material stacking area to pick up material. The first drive assembly 301 is adapted to drive the clamping mechanism 200 to move along the height direction of the automatic material handling device 1000, wherein the height direction of the automatic material handling device 1000 refers to... Figure 2 In the vertical direction, the second drive assembly 302 is adapted to drive the gripping mechanism 200 to move along the first direction of the automatic material handling device 1000, wherein the first direction of the automatic material handling device 1000 refers to... Figure 1 The left and right directions in the middle.

[0034] Specifically, the second drive assembly 302 first drives the gripping mechanism 200 to move along the first direction of the automatic material handling device 1000 to above the third stacking area 103. The first drive assembly 301 then drives the gripping mechanism 200 to move downward along the height direction of the automatic material handling device 1000, thereby causing the suction cup 201 to grip a bakelite board. After the suction cup 201 picks up the bakelite board, the first drive assembly 301 drives the gripping mechanism 200 to move upward along the height direction of the automatic material handling device 1000, causing the gripped bakelite board to move away from the third stacking area 103. After the clamping mechanism 200 rises to the initial height, the second drive component 302 drives the clamping mechanism 200 to move along the first direction of the automatic material handling device 1000 to above the pre-loading area. Then, the first drive component 301 drives the clamping mechanism 200 to move downward along the height direction of the automatic material handling device 1000. When the bakelite board contacts the plane of the pre-loading area 104, the suction cup 201 stops picking up the bakelite board and places the bakelite board in the pre-loading area 104. The first drive component 301 drives the clamping mechanism 200 to move upward along the height direction of the automatic material handling device 1000 back to the initial height. In this way, the automatic material handling device 1000 completes the picking up of the bakelite board.

[0035] Similarly, when the bakelite board is clamped into the pre-loading area 104, the clamping mechanism 200 is driven to move by the cooperation of the first drive component 301 and the second drive component 302. The clamping mechanism 200 can transfer the circuit board from the second stacking area 102 to the pre-loading area 104 in the same way. When the circuit board clamped by the clamping mechanism 200 contacts the upper surface of the bakelite board in the pre-loading area 104, the suction cup 201 stops sucking the circuit board so that the circuit board is stacked on the bakelite board. Through the cooperation of the first drive component 301 and the second drive component 302, the clamping mechanism 200 can be driven to clamp the circuit board from the second stacking area 102 and stack it onto the circuit board in the pre-loading area 104 multiple times, so that the number of circuit boards in the pre-loading area 104 can reach a preset number, thereby realizing the pre-loading and stacking of circuit boards.

[0036] Furthermore, the first driving component 301 and the second driving component 302 cooperate to drive the clamping mechanism 200 to move. The clamping mechanism 200 can transfer the aluminum plate from the first stacking area 101 to the pre-loading area 104 in the same manner. When the aluminum plate clamped by the clamping mechanism 200 contacts the upper surface of the circuit board in the pre-loading area 104, the suction cup 201 stops sucking the aluminum plate so that the aluminum plate is stacked on the bakelite board. This realizes the automatic material handling device 1000 to pick up and stack the board material. At this time, the board material stacked in the pre-loading area 104 is, from top to bottom, an aluminum plate, a preset number of circuit boards, and a bakelite board. It should be noted that the number of circuit boards stacked in the pre-loading area 104 is determined by the drilling performance of the drilling machine and / or the coating performance of the coating and pinning equipment. Of course, in some embodiments, the user can also set the number of circuit boards stacked in the pre-loading area 104.

[0037] Therefore, by using the automatic feeding device 1000 to automatically stack circuit boards into the pre-loading area 104, the labor cost of stacking circuit boards can be reduced, and the production efficiency of the overmolding and pinning equipment can be improved. Furthermore, the automatic feeding device 1000 uses suction cups 201 to grip the circuit boards, ensuring that the clamping force on the circuit boards is uniform and gentle, minimizing the risk of bending, damage, or scratches during stacking, thereby improving the yield rate and reducing the production cost of the circuit boards.

[0038] See Figure 1 , Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, the clamping mechanism 200 is further provided with a mounting base 23, which is mounted on the first drive assembly 301. The suction cup 201 has a suction cup cavity 20. One end of the suction cup 201 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 23. The end of the suction cup 201 away from the mounting base 23 has an air inlet 21, which can be opposite to the sheet metal. The end of the suction cup 201 near the mounting base 23 has an air outlet 22. Both the air inlet 21 and the air outlet 22 are connected to the suction cup cavity 20, and air can flow from the air inlet 21 toward the air outlet 22. When the clamping mechanism 200 clamps the sheet material, the suction cup 201 contacts and engages with the sheet material. By causing the air in the gap between the air inlet 21 and the sheet material to be discharged through the air outlet 22, a negative pressure can be generated at the air inlet 21, and the air pressure in the suction cup cavity 20 can be lower than atmospheric pressure. Under the action of air pressure, the sheet material is adsorbed by the suction cup 201, thereby achieving the technical effect of the clamping mechanism 200 clamping the sheet material.

[0039] Furthermore, the gripping mechanism 200 can be equipped with multiple suction cups 201, for example in... Figure 3In the illustrated embodiment, the clamping mechanism 200 is equipped with eight suction cups 201. These suction cups 201 are spaced apart sequentially along the circumferential direction of the mounting base 23. By providing multiple suction cups 201, the uniformity of force on the sheet metal can be improved, preventing excessive localized force that could cause bending. This also increases the clamping force of the clamping mechanism 200. Furthermore, if some suction cups 201 are damaged, causing a leak in the gap between the sheet metal and the air inlet 21, the undamaged suction cups 201 can continue to clamp the sheet metal normally, thus improving the operational reliability of the automatic material handling device 1000.

[0040] See Figure 1 , Figure 4 In some embodiments of this application, the clamping mechanism 200 also includes a vacuum component, which can be a vacuum pump or a negative pressure pipeline in the factory. The vacuum component is connected to the air outlet 22 and can discharge gas into or out of the suction cup cavity 20. When the clamping mechanism 200 clamps the material plate, the suction cup 201 presses against the material plate. The vacuum component causes the gas to be discharged from the suction cup cavity 20. A negative pressure can be generated at the air inlet 21, so that the air pressure in the suction cup cavity 20 is lower than the atmospheric pressure, which can achieve the technical effect of using negative pressure to make the suction cup 201 adsorb the material plate.

[0041] When the sheet metal is clamped into the pre-loading area 104 and comes into contact with the plane of the pre-loading area 104 or with other sheet metal, the vacuum component stops pumping gas and connects to the external environment to allow air to be discharged into the suction cup cavity 20. The air pressure at the air inlet 21 of the suction cup 201 is restored to equilibrium with the air pressure in the external environment, thereby separating the suction cup 201 from the sheet metal. Furthermore, the clamping mechanism 200 may be equipped with an air pressure detection component, which is used to detect the air pressure in the suction cup cavity 20. The air pressure detection component can be a pressure sensor. By setting the air pressure detection component, the vacuum component can adjust the air pressure in the suction cup cavity 20 according to the air pressure value detected by the air pressure detection component. During the process of the suction cup 201 picking up the sheet metal, this setting can minimize the problem of sheet metal deformation caused by excessively low air pressure in the suction cup cavity 20.

[0042] In some embodiments of this application, the automatic material handling device 1000 further includes a controller and a counter. The controller is communicatively connected to both the drive mechanism 300 and the clamping mechanism 200. The controller can control the drive mechanism 300 and the clamping mechanism 200 to work via signals. During the process of stacking boards in the pre-loading area 104, the controller controls the drive mechanism 300 and the clamping mechanism 200 to sequentially clamp the corresponding boards from the third stacking area 103, the second stacking area 102, and the first stacking area 101. By controlling the drive mechanism 300 and the clamping mechanism 200 to cooperate in clamping the boards, the automatic material handling device 1000 achieves the technical effect of automatically stacking boards, reducing the labor cost of operating the automatic material handling device 1000 and the time required for board stacking, thereby improving the production efficiency of the overmolding and pinning equipment.

[0043] The counter communicates with the controller and records the number of boards picked up by the gripping mechanism 200 and placed in the pre-loading area 104. By setting the counter to record the number of boards picked up by the gripping mechanism 200 and placed in the pre-loading area 104, the accuracy of the automatic material handling device 1000 is improved. Simultaneously, production personnel can adjust the number of boards picked up by the counter according to the material handling requirements, enabling the gripping mechanism 200 to pick up a preset number of aluminum plates, circuit boards, and bakelite boards respectively. It should be noted that after the gripping mechanism 200 picks up an aluminum plate and places it in the pre-loading area 104, the counter resets, clearing the recorded number of boards. This allows the counter to cyclically record the number of boards, enabling the automatic material handling device 1000 to operate automatically for extended periods.

[0044] See Figure 1 In some embodiments of this application, the first drive assembly 301 includes a first drive member 30, a transmission rod 31, and a motion platform 32. The first drive member 30 and the second drive assembly 302 are connected and cooperate. Along the height direction of the automatic material handling device 1000, the first drive member 30 is connected below the second drive assembly 302, and the transmission rod 31 is connected between the first drive member 30 and the motion platform 32. The transmission rod 31 extends along the height direction of the automatic material handling device 1000. The first drive member 30 drives the motion platform 32 to move along the height direction of the automatic material handling device 1000 through the transmission rod 31. The first drive member 30 is a motor, and a transmission gear is provided between the motor and the transmission rod 31. The transmission rod 31 has transmission teeth that cooperate with the transmission gear. The motor can drive the transmission rod 31 to move along the height direction of the automatic material handling device 1000 through the transmission gear, so as to achieve the effect of the first drive member 30 driving the motion platform 32 to move along the height direction of the automatic material handling device 1000. The movement stroke of the transmission rod 31 can be adjusted according to the actual production situation, thereby improving the practicality of the automatic material handling device 1000.

[0045] The clamping mechanism 200 is mounted on the end wall of the motion platform 32 near the sheet metal (i.e., Figure 1 The lower end wall of the motion platform 32), the first driving member 30 is connected to the clamping mechanism 200 in a transmission connection. During the process of the clamping mechanism 200 clamping the material plate, the first driving member 30 can drive the motion platform 32 through the transmission rod 31 to drive the clamping mechanism 200 to move closer to the material plate along the height direction of the automatic material handling device 1000, so that the clamping mechanism 200 can clamp the material plate from the first stacking area 101, the second stacking area 102 or the third stacking area 103. The first driving member 30 can also drive the motion platform 32 through the transmission rod 31 to drive the clamping mechanism 200 to move away from the material plate along the height direction of the automatic material handling device 1000, so that the clamping mechanism 200 can move the material plate out of the first stacking area 101, the second stacking area 102 or the third stacking area 103.

[0046] When the clamping mechanism 200 transports the material plate to above the pre-loading area 104, the first driving member 30 can drive the clamping mechanism 200 to approach the plane where the pre-loading area 104 is located along the height direction of the automatic picking device 1000, so that the clamping mechanism 200 stacks the material plate with the pre-loading area 104, and the first driving member 30 can drive the clamping mechanism 200 to move away from the plane where the pre-loading area 104 is located along the height direction of the automatic picking device 1000, so that the clamping mechanism 200 moves out of the pre-loading area 104.

[0047] See Figure 1In some embodiments of this application, the motion platform 32 may be equipped with a first position detection element 37, which is communicatively connected to a controller. The controller can control the first driving element 30 to operate based on the detection signal from the first position detection element 37. The first position detection element 37 is used to detect the distance between the clamping mechanism 200 and the sheet metal. Specifically, the first position detection element 37 can be an infrared distance sensor. The first position detection element 37 can detect the distance between the air inlet 21 of the suction cup 201 and the sheet metal. When the clamping mechanism 200 clamps the sheet metal, the first driving element 30 drives the clamping mechanism 200 to move closer to the sheet metal. When the air inlet 21 of the suction cup 201 contacts the sheet metal, the first position detection element 37 sends a detection signal to the controller. After receiving the detection signal, the controller stops the first driving element 30 from moving. Further, the controller is communicatively connected to a counter. After receiving the detection signal from the first position detection element 37, the controller controls the counter to increase the recorded number of sheet metal by one. By setting a first position detection element 37 on the motion platform 32, when the first driving element 30 drives the clamping mechanism 200 to approach the sheet metal, the controller controls the first driving element 30 according to the detection signal of the first position detection element 37, which can prevent the suction cup 201 from pressing too hard against the sheet metal, thereby preventing damage to the sheet metal. Furthermore, the controller controls the counter to count through the detection signal of the first position detection element 37, which can improve the accuracy of the counter counting.

[0048] See Figure 1 In some embodiments of this application, the second drive assembly 302 includes a motion bracket 33, a second drive member 34, and a guide rail 35. The second drive assembly 302 is mounted on the device body 100. The guide rail 35 is connected to the device body 100 so that it spans above the first stacking area 101, the second stacking area 102, the third stacking area 103, and the pre-loading area 104. The guide rail 35 extends along a first direction of the automatic material handling device 1000 and guides the motion bracket 33. The second drive member 34 drives the motion bracket 33 to move along the guide rail 35. Specifically, the motion bracket 33 has four guide wheels, and the motion bracket 33 is connected to the guide rail 35 through the guide wheels. The second drive member 34 can be a drive motor, which is connected to the guide wheels. The power output by the drive motor can move the guide wheels along the guide rail 35, thereby driving the motion bracket 33 to move along the guide rail 35.

[0049] When the clamping mechanism 200 clamps the sheet material, the second driving member 34 drives the motion bracket 33 to move along the guide rail 35, so that the clamping mechanism 200 moves directly above the first stacking area 101, the second stacking area 102, or the third stacking area 103. When the first driving member 30 drives the clamping mechanism 200 to move downward, the clamping mechanism 200 can clamp the corresponding sheet material. When the clamping mechanism 200 clamps the sheet material to the pre-loading area 104, the second driving member 34 drives the motion bracket 33 to move along the guide rail 35, so that the clamping mechanism 200 moves directly above the pre-loading area 104, so that when the clamping mechanism 200 is driven by the first driving member 30 and moves along the height direction of the automatic material handling device 1000, it can place the sheet material in the pre-loading area 104.

[0050] Furthermore, the second drive assembly 302 may be equipped with a transmission belt and a transmission pulley. The transmission belt is connected and cooperates with the motion bracket 33. The second drive component 34 drives the motion bracket 33 to move along the guide rail 35 through the drive transmission belt. The transmission belt and the transmission pulley have transmission teeth. The transmission teeth can prevent slippage between the transmission pulley and the transmission belt during transmission as much as possible, which can improve the accuracy of the automatic material handling device 1000 during operation.

[0051] See Figure 1 In some embodiments of this application, the guide rail 35 may be provided with a second position detection element. The second position detection element is communicatively connected to the controller. The second position detection element is used to detect the relative position between the motion support 33 and the guide rail 35. When the clamping mechanism 200 clamps the bakelite board, the second driving element 34 drives the motion support 33 to move along the guide rail 35. When the motion support 33 moves to directly above the third stacking area 103, the second position detection element sends a detection signal. After receiving the detection signal sent by the second position detection element, the controller controls the second driving element 34 to stop moving.

[0052] Similarly, when the clamping mechanism 200 clamps a circuit board or aluminum plate, the second detection element sends a detection signal to the controller, causing the clamping mechanism 200 to move directly above the second stacking area 102 or the third stacking area 103, thereby enabling the clamping mechanism 200 to clamp the corresponding board. Further, when the clamping mechanism 200 stacks boards into the pre-loading area 104 and the moving bracket 33 moves directly above the pre-loading area 104, the second position detection element sends a detection signal to the controller, causing the controller to stop the second drive element 34, thereby enabling the clamping mechanism 200 to accurately place the board into the pre-loading area 104.

[0053] See Figure 1 , Figure 2In some embodiments of this application, the overmolding and pinning equipment is provided with multiple pre-loading areas 104, which are arranged sequentially along a first direction of the automatic feeding device 1000. Specifically, each pre-loading area 104 may be equipped with a positioning mechanism, which may include multiple positioning blocks. These positioning blocks extend along the height direction of the automatic feeding device 1000 and surround the outer side of each pre-loading area 104. The positioning mechanism is used to separate the multiple pre-loading areas 104 and can restrict the movement of the board material along the radial direction of the automatic feeding device 1000, thereby minimizing the risk of displacement of the stacked board material. By providing multiple pre-loading areas 104, when one pre-loading area 104 is stacking board material and the board material has not yet been delivered to the overmolding and pinning equipment, the automatic feeding device 1000 can stack board material to other pre-loading areas 104, improving the efficiency of the automatic feeding device 1000 in stacking board material.

[0054] Based on this, this application further discloses a coating and pinning device. According to the embodiments of this application, the coating and pinning device includes: an automatic material handling device 1000, a coating machine, a pinning machine, and a unloading device. The automatic material handling device 1000 stacks aluminum plates, circuit boards, and bakelite boards sequentially in a preset stacking order in a pre-loading area 104. The automatic material handling device 1000 is the same as the automatic material handling device 1000 described in the above embodiments. The coating machine has an operating table and a coating mechanism. The coating mechanism is located on the operating table and is used to coat the stacked boards. The pre-loading area 104 of the automatic material handling device 1000 is located on the operating table, which facilitates the operator to directly transport the stacked boards to the coating mechanism, where the coating mechanism coats the stacked boards. The pinning machine is used to pin the stacked boards. The pinning machine is located downstream of the coating mechanism. After the coated boards are transported to the pinning machine, the pinning machine performs pinning on the boards. The unloading device is used to remove stacked and coated pinned boards from the coating and pinning equipment, wherein the unloading device is located on the downstream side of the pinning machine.

[0055] According to the encapsulation and pinning equipment described in this application embodiment, the equipment is equipped with an automatic material handling device 1000. The automatic material handling device 1000 automatically stacks the circuit boards, reducing labor costs associated with stacking and improving the production efficiency of the encapsulation and pinning equipment. Furthermore, the automatic material handling device 1000 uses suction cups 201 to grip the circuit boards, ensuring uniform and gentle clamping force, minimizing the risk of bending, damage, or scratches during stacking, thereby improving the yield rate and reducing production costs.

[0056] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application, and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
