Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of board planting machine technology, specifically a dual-track robotic board planting machine. Background Technology
[0002] In many high-end manufacturing fields such as electronics manufacturing, flexible electronics, semiconductor packaging, and new energy batteries, PCB mounting is one of the core processes ensuring product assembly accuracy and performance stability. This process mainly achieves the precise assembly of substrates such as circuit boards, flexible substrates, and ceramic substrates with various electronic components (such as sensors, diodes, and haptic actuators), or the stable transfer of substrates between different processing stations. Its quality directly determines the reliability, signal transmission efficiency, and lifespan of the final product. With the development of consumer electronics towards thinner and higher performance, and the rise of emerging industries such as 5G communication, VR / AR, and new energy vehicles, the market has placed higher demands on the PCB mounting process. It not only needs to improve operational efficiency to match the needs of large-scale production, but also needs to achieve micron-level positioning accuracy while adapting to the processing requirements of multi-specification substrates and complex working conditions. Most existing steel sheet and PCB board placement machines operate using a single-rail conveyor and a single robotic arm. The substrate loading, placement, unloading, and assembly processes under a single rail need to be completed sequentially, and each individual process is difficult to coordinate effectively and cannot achieve parallel operation. Consequently, the efficiency during the placement process is low, making it difficult to meet the high-capacity production requirements of modern production lines. Summary of the Invention

This solves the problem that most existing steel sheet and PCB board placement machines operate using a single-track conveyor and a single robotic arm. In a single-track system, the substrate loading, placement, unloading, and assembly processes need to be completed sequentially, and each individual process is difficult to coordinate effectively, making parallel operation impossible. Consequently, the efficiency during the placement process is low, making it difficult to meet the high-capacity production demands of modern production lines.

[0020] Please see Figure 1-11 , Example 1: A dual-track robotic PCB planting machine includes a frame and housing 100. Inside the frame and housing 100, there is a board loading and unloading track mechanism 200. On the side of the board loading and unloading track mechanism 200, there is a blister box receiving mechanism 300 and a PCB and steel sheet lifting mechanism 400. A robot mechanism 500 is located in the middle of the frame and housing 100.
[0021] The value and dismantling plate track mechanism 200 includes a vehicle track assembly 21 installed on the frame housing 100. A top vision assembly 22 is provided on the vehicle track assembly 21, and a first steel plate replacement assembly 23 and a second steel plate replacement assembly 24 are respectively provided on both sides of the vehicle track assembly 21.
[0022] The blister box receiving mechanism 300 includes a blister box stacking and feeding assembly 31 and a blister box stacking and receiving assembly 32, which are disposed in the frame housing 100.
[0023] The PCB and steel sheet lifting mechanism 400 includes a spacing monorail assembly 41 disposed on the side of the robot mechanism 500, a PCB lifting and feeding assembly 42 disposed on the spacing monorail assembly 41, a bottom vision precision positioning assembly 43 disposed on the bottom side of the PCB lifting and feeding assembly 42, and a steel sheet lifting and feeding assembly 44 disposed on the side of the PCB lifting and feeding assembly 42.
[0024] Example 2: The difference between this example and Example 1 is that the second steel sheet replacement assembly 24 includes a steel sheet support base plate 241 disposed on the carrier track assembly 21. A plurality of steel sheet support columns 242 are uniformly and vertically disposed at the top of the steel sheet support base plate 241. A bottom side connecting plate 243 is disposed on the bottom side of the steel sheet support base plate 241. A plurality of fixed connecting brackets 244 are disposed on the bottom side connecting plate 243 and connected to the bottom side of the steel sheet support base plate 241. A drive motor 245 is installed on the bottom side of the bottom side connecting plate 243.
[0025] Example 3: The difference between this example and Example 1 is that the bottom visual precision positioning component 43 includes a fixed mounting plate 431 disposed on the spacing monorail component 41. A connecting side plate 432 is fixed to the side of the fixed mounting plate 431. A visual camera 433 is installed on the side of the connecting side plate 432. A top limiting frame 434 is disposed on the top side of the visual camera 433. The side of the top limiting frame 434 is connected to the fixed mounting plate 431. A visual shooting port 435 is disposed in the middle of the top limiting frame 434.
[0026] Example 4: The difference between this example and Example 1 is that the robot mechanism 500 includes a robot mounting base 501 fixed on the frame housing 100, a robot rotating base 502 is mounted on the top of the robot mounting base 501, a robotic arm 503 is provided on the robot rotating base 502, and a material gripper 504 is provided at the end of the robotic arm 503.
[0027] Example 5: The difference between this example and Example 1 is that the blister box stacking and feeding assembly 31 and the blister box stacking and receiving assembly 32 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the pitched monorail assembly 41.
[0028] This makes it more convenient for users to stack and collect blister boxes.
[0029] Example 6: The difference between this example and Example 1 is that the PCB lifting and feeding assembly 42 and the steel sheet lifting and feeding assembly 44 are both located on the bottom side of the pitched monorail assembly 41.
[0030] This makes it easier to transfer materials from the PCB lifting and feeding assembly 42 and the steel sheet lifting and feeding assembly 44 to the pitched monorail assembly 41.
[0031] Example 7: The difference between this example and Example 1 is that the central axes of the visual camera 433 and the visual shooting port 435 are located on the same straight line.
[0032] This allows the visual camera 433 to capture images more effectively through the visual capture port 435.
[0033] In this embodiment, since most existing steel sheet and PCB board planting machines operate in a single-rail conveyor and single-robot mode, the substrate loading, board planting, unloading and assembly processes under the single rail need to be completed sequentially, and each individual operation process is difficult to form an effective coordination and cannot achieve parallel operation. As a result, the efficiency in the board planting process is low and it is difficult to meet the high-capacity production needs of modern production lines.
[0034] In summary, in specific implementation, the frame housing 100 is equipped with a board loading and unloading track mechanism 200, a blister box receiving mechanism 300, a PCB and steel sheet lifting mechanism 400, and a robot mechanism 500. The board loading and unloading track mechanism 200 is mainly used for loading and unloading boards, while the blister box receiving mechanism 300 is used for loading the left side of the blister box and receiving the board after installation. The PCB and steel sheet lifting mechanism 400 is used for lifting and loading the PCB and steel sheet to reach the material transfer position of the robot mechanism 500. The robot mechanism 500 is used to perform board installation between the PCB and the steel sheet.
[0035] During actual board planting, a carrier track feeding platform and a carrier track discharging platform are respectively set on both sides of the frame housing 100. The blister box stacking and feeding component 31 stacks and feeds the blister boxes, which are then precisely positioned on the bottom vision precision positioning component 43 to pick up the material. At the same time, the steel sheet lifting and feeding component 44 lifts and feeds the steel sheet. The robot mechanism 500 grabs the blister box and the steel sheet at the picking position. After the bottom vision precision positioning component 43 positions the blister box and the steel sheet, they are placed on the first steel sheet changing component 23 and the second steel sheet changing component 24, respectively. The top vision component 22 is used to provide positioning support for the robot mechanism 500.
[0036] Next, the PCB board is lifted and loaded using the PCB lifting and loading assembly 42. The robot mechanism 500, with the positioning support of the bottom vision precision positioning assembly 43, grasps the PCB board and transfers it to the first steel sheet changing assembly 23 and the second steel sheet changing assembly 24. Then, the steel sheet and the PCB board are assembled and planted. After the installation, the steel sheet and the PCB board are discharged through the carrier track. By repeating the above actions, the steel sheet and the PCB board can be quickly and accurately planted and assembled. In this way, the dual-track mode, in conjunction with the robot arm, can effectively coordinate the loading, planting, and unloading of the substrate to achieve parallel assembly operations, which can greatly improve the user's board planting efficiency and meet the high-capacity production needs of modern production lines.
