[0025] like Figure 1-8 As shown, the utility model is a PCBA board ICT automatic test device, including a code reading docking station 1, an ICT online test machine 2 and an NG buffer machine 3 arranged in sequence along the production line, and the entire automatic test device is controlled and operated by a PLC.

[0026] A code reading conveyor line 11 and a code reading component 12 are provided inside the code reading docking station 1. The code reading component 12 is used to read the information of the PCBA board on the conveyor belt. There are two sets of code reading components 12, one set of code reading components 12 is located above the code reading conveyor line 11, and the other set of code reading components 12 is located below the code reading conveyor line 11, which can realize double-sided code reading and upper and lower single-sided code reading switching.

[0027] The code reading component 12 adopts photographic code reading. Specifically, the code reading component 12 includes an XY axis moving platform 121 and a code reading gun 122. The XY axis moving platform 121 is a common two-way moving platform in the prior art. The code reading gun 122 is connected to the XY axis moving platform 121, and the XY axis moving platform 121 drives the code reading gun 122 to move in the horizontal plane. According to the barcode position of the PCBA board, the code reading gun 122 can automatically move along the X / Y axis, and the read information is transmitted to the central control system (SFIS system). In addition, the code reading docking station 1 has a protection function, that is, when the ICT online test machine 2 is under ICT testing, the PCBA board is not allowed to flow from the code reading conveyor line 11 into the ICT online test machine 2.

[0028] The ICT online test machine 2 is provided with a test conveyor line 21, which is arranged on a lifting platform, and the lifting platform is driven up and down by the conveyor line cylinder, thereby driving the test conveyor line 21 to rise and fall. The input end of the test conveyor line 21 is connected with the output end of the code reading conveyor line 11, and a liftable upper test fixture 22 is provided above the test conveyor line 21, and a fixture table 23 is provided below the test conveyor line 21. The upper test fixture 22 and the test conveyor line 21 are driven up and down by their own cylinders.

[0029] After code reading, the PCBA board enters the test conveyor line 21 of the ICT online test machine 2 from the code reading conveyor line 11. The test conveyor line 21 is provided with a retractable test position block 211, which cooperates with the position photoelectric sensor. When the PCBA board is delivered to the right position, the test position block 211 extends to block the PCBA board, and the test conveyor line 21 descends. The PCBA board is positioned on the fixture table 23 (the fixture table 23 has a structure for positioning the PCBA board, including a positioning pin and a block), and then the upper test fixture descends, so as to perform an ICT test on the PCBA board on the fixture table 23 (the test process is the same as the prior art, and no further elaboration is made), and the test results are transmitted to the central control system. After the test is completed, the test conveyor line 21 rises and takes the PCBA board on the fixture table 23 away.

[0030] The NG buffer machine 3 is provided with a buffer conveyor line 31, the input end of the buffer conveyor line 31 is connected with the output end of the test conveyor line 21, and the PCBA board that has completed the ICT test enters the buffer conveyor line 31 of the NG buffer machine 3 from the test conveyor line 21. The middle part of the buffer conveyor line 31 is a buffer area, and a buffer rack 32 is provided on the buffer area. The buffer rack 32 is driven to rise and fall by a screw nut pair 33. Multiple layers of storage layers for placing PCBA boards are arranged at intervals along the vertical direction on the buffer rack 32. Products that fail the ICT test are cached on the storage layer of the buffer rack 32, and PCBA boards that pass the test flow into the next process.

[0031] Among them, multiple guide rods 321 arranged at intervals along the vertical direction are respectively provided on both sides of the cache rack 32, and each guide rod 321 is fixed with a support pin 322 for forming a storage layer; multiple or more groups of conveying roller groups 34 arranged at intervals are respectively provided on both sides of the cache area, and each guide rod 321 and the conveying roller group on the same side are staggered along the conveying direction of the test conveyor line 21.

[0032] The buffer conveyor line 31 is equipped with a photoelectric automatic sensor. After the unqualified boards are detected, the buffer conveyor line 31 and the conveying roller group 34 stop running, and the buffer rack 32 rises one layer to store the unqualified PCBA boards on the buffer layer. In this embodiment, the buffer rack 32 can store 8 large PCBA boards; each layer is at least 5 cm apart; after storing 7 boards, an audible and visual alarm is triggered.

[0033] The above describes the specific implementation of the present invention, but those skilled in the art should understand that this is only an example. Those skilled in the art can make various changes or modifications to this implementation without departing from the principle and essence of the present invention, but these changes and modifications are all within the scope of protection of the present invention.
