Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automated processing technology, and in particular to a turret patching device. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, most surface mount technology (SMT) equipment used in the industrial sector employs linear drive modules to move the mounting components to complete the process. During operation, the equipment first picks up the workpiece at the loading position, then moves it to the mounting position to complete the bonding process. After completion, the drive module must return the mounting component to the loading position along the same path, requiring a waiting period before starting the next process. This SMT processing method results in significant gaps between processes, preventing continuous workflow, severely limiting the overall production cycle time, and leading to low SMT processing efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0003] This application aims to address at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this application proposes a turret-based chip placement device that can improve placement efficiency and placement quality.

[0004] This application provides a turret patching device, comprising: The frame is equipped with a material handling station, an inspection station, a placement station and a waiting station. A turret device, mounted on the frame, includes a turntable drive structure and several mounting components. The mounting components are evenly arranged circumferentially at the edge of the turntable drive structure. The turntable drive structure is used to drive the mounting components to sequentially pass through the material picking station, the inspection station, the mounting station, and the waiting station. A feeding device, disposed on the frame and located at the picking station, is used to provide sheet-shaped workpieces to be mounted for the mounting assembly to pick up as it passes through the picking station; A first image detection device is mounted on the frame and located at the detection station, and is used to detect the material suction status of the mounting assembly passing through the detection station; A conveying device is mounted on the frame and located at the placement station. The conveying device includes a conveying drive structure, a blocking drive structure, a lifting drive structure, and a carrier plate. The carrier plate holds a support for the sheet to be placed, so that the placement assembly at the placement station can place the sheet workpiece onto the corresponding support. The lifting drive structure is used to adjust the vertical position of the conveying drive structure. The blocking drive structure is located at the outlet end of the conveying drive structure and is used to block or allow the carrier plate on the conveying drive structure to pass.

[0005] The turret placement equipment according to the embodiments of this application has at least the following beneficial effects: the frame is divided into a material picking station, an inspection station, a placement station, and a waiting station. Multiple placement components are driven to flow sequentially to each station by the turret device. The equipment works in coordination with the material feeding device at the material picking station, the first image detection device at the inspection station, and the conveying device at the placement station. The lifting drive structure in the conveying device can be adjusted to a suitable height according to the actual working conditions of the placement operation, so that the chip holder on the carrier plate and the placement component can form a good fit. The material blocking drive structure arranged at the outlet of the conveying drive structure can block or release the carrier plate, thereby controlling the conveying rhythm of the carrier plate, so that the chip holder can accurately stop at the placement station to carry out the operation, ensuring smooth connection of each process, and thus improving the orderliness and alignment accuracy of the placement operation. The rotary drive structure drives the placement assembly to complete station switching and job handover through rotation, enabling continuous and uninterrupted material picking, inspection, and placement processes. This eliminates time waste caused by process interruptions and steadily improves the overall processing efficiency of the placement operation. Simultaneously, the first image detection device at the inspection station monitors the material picking status of the placement assembly in real time, promptly detecting abnormalities such as missed material picking or workpiece misalignment. This avoids placement operations under abnormal conditions, effectively improving placement defects and ensuring placement accuracy and overall placement quality.

[0022] Currently, most surface mount technology (SMT) equipment used in the industrial sector employs linear drive modules to move the mounting components to complete the process. During operation, the equipment first picks up the workpiece at the loading position, then moves it to the mounting position to complete the bonding process. After completion, the drive module must return the mounting component to the loading position along the same path, requiring a waiting period before starting the next process. This SMT processing method results in significant gaps between processes, preventing continuous workflow, severely limiting the overall production cycle time, and leading to low SMT processing efficiency.

[0023] Based on this, this application provides a turret patching device to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. The technical solutions provided by this application will be described in detail below.

[0024] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides a turret placement device, including: a frame 100, a turret assembly, a feeding device 300, a first image detection device 400, and a conveying device 500. The frame 100 is provided with a material picking station, a detection station, a placement station, and a waiting station. The turret assembly is disposed on the frame 100 and includes a turntable drive structure 210 and a plurality of placement components 220. The placement components 220 are evenly arranged circumferentially at the edge of the turntable drive structure 210. The turntable drive structure 210 is used to drive the placement components 220 to sequentially pass through the material picking station, the detection station, the placement station, and the waiting station. The feeding device 300 is disposed on the frame 100 and located at the material picking station, and is used to provide sheet-like workpieces to be placed for the placement components 220 to pick up as they pass through the material picking station. An image detection device 400 is mounted on the frame 100 and located at the detection station, used to detect the material suction status of the mounting assembly 220 passing through the detection station; a conveying device 500 is mounted on the frame 100 and located at the mounting station, the conveying device 500 includes a conveying drive structure 510, a blocking drive structure 530, a lifting drive structure 540 and a carrier plate 520, the carrier plate 520 holds the bracket to be mounted, so that the mounting assembly 220 at the mounting station mounts the sheet workpiece onto the corresponding bracket, the lifting drive structure 540 is used to adjust the vertical position of the conveying drive structure 510, and the blocking drive structure 530 is located at the exit end of the conveying drive structure 510, used to block or allow the carrier plate 520 on the conveying drive structure 510 to pass.

[0025] The rack 100 is divided into a material picking station, an inspection station, a placement station, and a waiting station. A turret device drives multiple placement components 220 to flow sequentially between these stations. The components work in conjunction with the material feeding device 300 at the material picking station, the first image detection device 400 at the inspection station, and the conveying device 500 at the placement station to complete the operation. The lifting drive structure in the conveying device 500 can be adjusted to a suitable height according to the actual working conditions of the placement operation, ensuring good coordination between the component holders on the carrier plate 520 and the placement components 220. The material blocking drive structure 530 located at the exit end of the conveying drive structure 510 can block or allow the carrier plate 520 to pass, thereby controlling the conveying rhythm of the carrier plate 520 and ensuring that the component holders are precisely positioned at the placement station to carry out the operation. This ensures smooth connection between each process, thereby improving the orderliness and alignment accuracy of the placement operation. The rotary drive structure 210 drives the placement assembly 220 to complete station switching and work handover in a rotating manner, enabling continuous and uninterrupted material picking, inspection, and placement processes. This eliminates time waste caused by process interruptions and steadily improves the overall processing efficiency of the placement operation. Simultaneously, the first image detection device 400 at the inspection station monitors the material picking status of the placement assembly 220 in real time, promptly detecting abnormalities such as missed material picking or workpiece misalignment. This avoids placement operations under abnormal conditions, effectively improving placement defects and ensuring placement accuracy and overall placement quality.

[0026] Specifically, the first image detection device 400 can detect the degree of offset between the pick-up position of the mounting assembly 220 and the center position of the sheet workpiece, so as to make appropriate compensation adjustments during the next material pick-up and placement. For example, after the mounting assembly 220 picks up the sheet, it rotates by multiple angles, and the first image detection device 400 analyzes the data to determine the offset between the center position of the sheet and the pick-up position of the mounting assembly, thereby obtaining the pick-up position compensation of the mounting assembly 220 when picking up the sheet.

[0027] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 It is understood that the turret device also includes a support frame 230, which is set on the frame 100 and located between the material picking station and the mounting station. The turntable drive structure 210 passes through the top plate of the support frame 230. A second image detection device 231 and a third image detection device 232 are respectively provided on both sides of the support frame 230. The second image detection device 231 is used to detect the position information of the sheet workpiece to be mounted at the material picking station, and the third image detection device 232 is used to detect the position information of the bracket to be mounted at the mounting station.

[0028] A support frame 230 is installed on the frame 100 between the material picking station and the placement station. This provides stable mounting support for the turntable drive structure 210, which is mounted on the top plate of the support frame 230, ensuring its stable operation. Simultaneously, it reliably fixes the second image detection device 231 and the third image detection device 232 on both sides of the support frame 230, ensuring the stability of the detection operation. The second image detection device 231 can detect the position information of the sheet-like workpiece to be placed at the material picking station in real time, while the third image detection device 232 can detect the position information of the bracket to be placed at the placement station. By accurately obtaining the actual positions of the sheet-like workpiece and the bracket to be placed in advance, a precise alignment reference can be provided for the material picking and placement actions of the placement assembly 220, avoiding placement deviations caused by workpiece and bracket position offsets, and further improving the overall placement alignment accuracy and placement quality of the equipment.

[0029] Reference Figure 6 It is understood that the mounting assembly 220 includes a mounting plate 221, a vertical drive structure 222, a mounting bracket 223, a rotary drive structure 224, and a suction nozzle structure 225. One end of the mounting plate 221 is connected to the edge of the turntable drive structure 210, and the other end is connected to the vertical drive structure 222. The drive end of the vertical drive structure 222 is connected to the mounting bracket 223. The rotary drive structure 224 passes through the mounting bracket 223, and its drive end is connected to the suction nozzle structure 225 for adjusting the placement angle of the sheet-like workpiece being picked up.

[0030] The vertical drive structure 222 can drive the mounting bracket 223, the rotary drive structure 224, and the suction nozzle structure 225 to perform vertical movements, thereby completing the picking up and placement of sheet-like workpieces. At the same time, the rotary drive structure 224 can drive the suction nozzle structure 225 to rotate and adjust the placement angle of the picked-up sheet-like workpieces, which can effectively correct the angular offset problem caused by the workpieces after picking them up, so that the posture of the sheet-like workpieces can accurately match the placement requirements of the bracket to be placed, further improving the placement alignment accuracy and placement operation quality of the equipment.

[0031] Reference Figure 1 It is understood that the feeding device 300 includes a feeding module 310, a conveying structure 320 and a bearing module 330. The feeding module 310 has several stacked trays 315 on which sheet-like workpieces are placed. The conveying structure 320 is located between the feeding module 310 and the bearing module 330 and is used to convey the trays 315 of the feeding module 310 to the bearing module 330. The bearing module 330 is used to place the trays 315 and to allow the mounting assembly 220 passing through the picking station to pick them up.

[0032] The feeding module 310 can stack multiple trays 315 carrying sheet workpieces, enabling centralized storage of materials. The conveying structure 320, located between the feeding module 310 and the carrying module 330, can transfer the trays 315 from the feeding module 310 to the carrying module 330. The carrying module 330 stably supports the trays 315, allowing the mounting assembly 220 passing through the picking station to smoothly pick up the sheet workpieces. This entire structure achieves automated transfer and continuous supply of the trays 315 and sheet workpieces, reducing manual replenishment operations, ensuring uninterrupted picking processes, and improving the overall operational continuity and automation level of the equipment.

[0033] Reference Figure 4 It is understood that the feeding module 310 includes a lifting drive structure 311, a lifting plate 312, and a feeding rack 313. The end of the lifting plate 312 is connected to the drive end of the lifting drive structure 311. The feeding rack 313 is placed on the lifting plate 312. Adjustable baffles 314 are provided on both sides of the lifting plate 312. The baffles 314 on both sides are used to position the feeding rack 313. The feeding rack 313 has a multi-layer partition structure inside, and several material trays 315 are stacked in sequence inside the feeding rack 313.

[0034] The lifting drive structure 311 can drive the lifting plate 312 to move, and can flexibly adjust the feeding height according to the material tray 315 being picked up. Several material trays 315 are stacked in sequence by the multi-layer partition structure inside the feeding rack 313. As the material trays 315 on the upper layer are continuously picked up, the overall material level of the material trays 315 will gradually decrease. At this time, the lifting drive structure 311 can drive the lifting plate 312 and the feeding rack 313 above it to move upward synchronously, so that the uppermost material tray 315 is always kept at the working height suitable for the picking position. The baffles 314 on both sides of the lifting plate 312 can be adjusted relative to the lifting plate 312 by means of long through holes and bolts. The spacing between the baffles 314 on both sides can be flexibly changed according to the different sizes of the feeding racks 313, thereby reliably limiting the feeding racks 313 of different specifications and preventing the feeding racks 313 from shifting during operation. The multi-layered partition structure inside the feeding rack 313 allows for the sequential stacking of several material trays 315, ensuring a neat and orderly arrangement of the trays. This structure enables stable storage and orderly conveying of the material trays 315, reducing manual alignment and sorting operations, and effectively improving the stability of the material supply process and the overall smoothness of the operation.

[0035] Reference Figure 5It is understood that the bearing module 330 includes an angle adjustment structure 331, a first bearing plate 332, a second bearing plate 333, a height adjustment structure 334, and a limiting structure 335. The driving end of the angle adjustment structure 331 is connected to the bottom center of the first bearing plate 332 and is used to adjust the angle position of the first bearing plate 332. The height adjustment structure 334 is disposed on the first bearing plate 332 and its driving end is connected to the second bearing plate 333 and is used to adjust the height position of the second bearing plate 333. The limiting structure 335 is disposed on the second bearing plate 333 and is used to limit the placement position of the material tray 315.

[0036] The angle adjustment structure 331 can adjust the angle position of the first carrier plate 332, and the height adjustment structure 334 can drive the second carrier plate 333 to change its height position. The material picking angle and picking height of the mounting component 220 can be flexibly matched according to the actual operation requirements, so that the material tray 315 and the sheet workpiece inside maintain a suitable working posture, reduce the deviation in the picking process, and thus improve the accuracy and stability of the picking operation.

[0037] The conveying device 500 also includes a material blocking drive structure 530 and a lifting drive structure 540. The side wall of the conveying drive structure 510 is provided with an inclined hole 511. The driving end of the lifting drive structure 540 passes through the inclined hole 511, and its driving direction is the same as the conveying direction of the conveying drive structure 510. It is used to adjust the position of the conveying drive structure 510 in the vertical direction through the limiting effect of the inclined hole 511. The material blocking drive structure 530 is provided at the outlet end of the conveying drive structure 510 and is used to block or release the material plate 520 on the conveying drive structure 510.

[0038] Reference Figure 3 It is understood that the side wall of the transmission drive structure 510 is provided with an oblique hole 511, and the driving end of the lifting drive structure 540 passes through the oblique hole 511. Its driving direction is the same as the transmission direction of the transmission drive structure 510, and it is used to adjust the position of the transmission drive structure 510 in the vertical direction through the limiting effect of the oblique hole 511.

[0039] The driving end of the lifting drive structure 540 passes through the oblique hole 511 on the side wall of the conveying drive structure 510. The driving direction of the lifting drive structure 540 is consistent with the conveying direction of the conveying drive structure 510. With the limiting effect of the oblique hole 511, the position of the conveying drive structure 510 in the vertical direction can be adjusted. It can be adjusted to a suitable height according to the actual working conditions of the placement operation, so that the pick-to-be-placed bracket on the carrier plate 520 and the placement assembly 220 can form a good fit.

[0040] Reference Figure 2It is understandable that the rack 100 also includes a material unloading station, which is located on the side of the mounting station relative to the exit end of the conveyor 500. The turret mounting equipment also includes a material unloading device 600, which is used to receive the carrier plate 520 in the conveyor 500 after all brackets have been mounted. The material unloading device 600 is equipped with a fourth image detection device 610, which is used to inspect the appearance quality of the mounted brackets.

[0041] The accompanying unloading device 600 can receive the carrier plate 520 from all the supports in the conveyor device 500 after the surface mount technology (SMT) has been applied, enabling the carrier plate 520 to be transferred out in an orderly manner after processing, thus forming a complete closed loop in the entire operation process. The fourth image inspection device 610 installed on the unloading device 600 can perform surface mount appearance quality inspection on the supports after SMT has been applied. The appearance quality inspection can be completed simultaneously in the finished product unloading stage, eliminating the need for additional inspection stations and processes. At the same time, it can promptly identify products with appearance defects, thereby improving the overall quality of the finished product.

[0042] It is understood that the turret mounting equipment provided in this application also includes a defective product recycling device (not shown in the figure). The first image detection device 400 is also used to perform integrity detection on the sheet workpiece picked up by the mounting assembly 220, so that the mounting assembly 220 will mount the sheet workpiece with qualified integrity detection results onto the corresponding bracket. The defective product recycling device is set on the frame 100 and located at the waiting station, so that the mounting assembly 220 will place the sheet workpiece with unqualified integrity detection results at the defective product recycling device.

[0043] The first image inspection device 400 can simultaneously perform integrity inspection on the sheet workpieces picked up by the mounting assembly 220. Qualified sheet workpieces will be mounted by the mounting assembly 220, while defective sheet workpieces will be transported by the mounting assembly 220 to the defective product recycling device at the waiting station on the rack 100. This structure can automatically identify and collect defective sheet workpieces during the workflow, preventing defective products from flowing into the mounting process and causing product waste. It also eliminates the need for manual sorting of defective products, ensuring continuous operation of the main process and effectively improving the overall automation level and finished product qualification rate.

[0044] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2Understandably, the rack 100 also includes a dispensing station, located beside the placement station relative to the entrance of the conveyor 500. The turret placement equipment also includes a dispensing device 700, which is used to dispense adhesive onto the supports on the carrier plate 520 at the entrance of the conveyor 500. The dispensing device 700 integrates the dispensing process into the overall equipment workflow by dispensing adhesive onto the supports on the carrier plate 520 at the entrance of the conveyor 500. The supports can complete the dispensing operation before entering the placement station, eliminating the need for external equipment and reducing the need for cross-equipment transfer steps. This ensures a close connection between the dispensing and placement processes, guaranteeing smooth overall equipment operation and effectively improving the continuity and efficiency of the overall operation.

[0045] Reference Figures 1 to 6 The following is a complete description of the overall workflow of the turret patching equipment provided in this application, using an embodiment as an example.

[0046] When the equipment is running, the feeding device 300 on the frame 100 first completes the automated feeding operation. The feeding rack 313 of the loading module 310 stacks several trays 315 carrying sheet-shaped workpieces through an internal multi-layer partition structure. The gap between the baffles 314 on both sides of the lifting plate 312 is adjusted by the elongated through holes and bolts to adapt to the feeding racks 313 of different sizes and to position and limit them. The lifting drive structure 311 drives the lifting plate 312 and the upper feeding rack 313 to continuously lift and lower to replenish materials according to the material level change after the trays 315 are picked up, ensuring that the top tray 315 is always at the standard picking height. The material tray 315 is then transported to the second support plate 333 of the support module 330 by the conveying structure 320 between the feeding module 310 and the support module 330. The limiting structure 335 on the second support plate 333 fixes the position of the material tray 315. At the same time, the angle adjustment structure 331 of the support module 330 can adjust the angle position of the first support plate 332, and the height adjustment structure 334 can adjust the height position of the second support plate 333, so as to adapt to the posture and height requirements of the material picking operation. Subsequently, the turntable drive structure 210 drives several mounting components 220 fixed by the mounting plate 221 to rotate circumferentially, causing each mounting component 220 to flow sequentially to its respective station. When the mounting component 220 reaches the picking station, the second image detection devices 231 on both sides of the support frame 230 detect the position information of the sheet workpiece at the picking station. The vertical drive structure 222 of the mounting component 220 drives the mounting bracket 223 and the suction nozzle structure 225 to move vertically to complete the workpiece picking. The rotary drive structure 224 can adjust the placement angle of the suction nozzle structure 225 and the sheet workpiece as needed. After picking, the mounting component 220 flows to the inspection station. The first image detection device 400 at the inspection station simultaneously detects the picking status of the mounting component 220 and the integrity of the sheet workpiece, and judges the workpiece as either qualified or unqualified. In this process, the mounting assembly 220, which picks up defective sheet workpieces, continues to flow to the waiting station, where the defective sheet workpieces are placed in the defective product recycling device at the waiting station, completing the automatic collection of defective products; the mounting assembly 220, which picks up qualified sheet workpieces, continues to flow.

The material blocking drive structure 530 at the exit end can block or release the material carrier plate 520, precisely controlling the conveying rhythm of the bracket.The carrier plate 520 is first transported to the dispensing station next to the mounting station. The dispensing device 700 dispenses adhesive onto the bracket on the carrier plate 520. After dispensing, the carrier plate 520 is transported to the mounting station. The third image detection device 232 on one side of the support frame 230 detects the position information of the bracket to be mounted at the mounting station and works with the mounting assembly 220 to complete the precise alignment. Then, the mounting assembly 220 precisely mounts the qualified sheet workpiece onto the bracket after dispensing. After all the supports on the carrier plate 520 have completed the chip placement operation, the conveyor 500 transports the carrier plate 520 to the unloading station next to the placement station. The unloading device 600 receives the processed carrier plate 520. At the same time, the fourth image detection device 610 equipped on the unloading device 600 performs chip placement appearance quality inspection on the supports. Finally, all chip placement, inspection and unloading processes are completed. The whole set of equipment relies on the turret structure to realize multi-station cyclic continuous operation. Each process works together to complete the fully automatic chip placement production process.
