[0024] The utility model provides a docking station. Figure 1 to Figure 2 A specific embodiment of a docking station provided by the utility model.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, an embodiment of the utility model provides a docking station 100, including a machine base 1, a conveying component 2 and a cleaning device 3, wherein the machine base 1 is provided with an input station 11, a cleaning station 12 and an output station 13 in sequence in the x direction, the conveying component 2 is arranged on the machine base 1, the conveying component 2 includes a conveying portion 21 for placing a substrate, the conveying portion 21 extends from the input station 11 to the output station 13, the cleaning device 3 is arranged on one side of the machine base 1, the cleaning device 3 includes a cleaning portion 32 for removing foreign matter from the substrate, and the cleaning station 12 is within the action area of ​​the cleaning portion 32.

[0026] In the utility model, the machine base 1 is sequentially provided with an input station 11, a cleaning station 12 and an output station 13 in the x direction, and the substrate is placed on the conveying part 21, and the conveying part 21 extends from the input station 11 to the output station 13, so that the substrate can sequentially pass through the input station 11, the cleaning station 12 and the output station 13. When the substrate completes the previous process, there will be some foreign matter such as electronic components on the substrate. The substrate moves from the input station 11 to the cleaning station 12 under the drive of the conveying part 21, and the cleaning part 32 of the cleaning device 3 removes the foreign matter on the substrate. After cleaning, it moves from the cleaning station 12 to the output station 13, and finally enters the next process. The docking station 100 removes foreign matter on the substrate by setting the cleaning device 3 to avoid affecting the substrate after entering the next process, thereby improving the production yield rate.

[0027] Specifically, the conveying part 21 is a conveyor belt, and the conveying component 2 further includes a motor, and the motor can drive the conveyor belt to move in the x direction.

[0028] It should be noted that the cleaning part 32 of the cleaning device 3 includes an air blowing pipe or other structural components known to those skilled in the art that can remove foreign matter from the substrate.

[0029] Specifically, the cleaning part 32 further includes a solenoid valve, and the air blowing pipe is connected to the solenoid valve. Whether to blow air can be controlled by switching the solenoid valve, and the size of the air blowing can even be adjusted by controlling the opening and closing angle of the solenoid valve.

[0030] When the substrate moves to the cleaning station 12, the cleaning unit 32 removes foreign matter on the substrate. To ensure the cleaning effect, the cleaning unit 32 needs to be in operation all the time, which consumes more power. If the cleaning unit 32 is in operation for a long time, the service life will be reduced. Therefore, in some embodiments, Figure 1As shown, the docking station 100 further includes a detection device 4 for detecting the position of the substrate, and the detection device 4 is electrically connected to the cleaning device 3. Specifically, the cleaning device 3 further includes a controller. When the substrate moves from the previous process to the input station 11, the detection device 4 obtains the position information of the substrate. At this time, the controller receives the position information of the substrate and controls the cleaning unit 32 to start, so that the cleaning unit 32 is in operation and starts to remove foreign matter on the substrate. After the removal is completed, the cleaning unit 32 is controlled to close. Such a setting greatly reduces the working time of the cleaning unit 32, thereby extending the service life of the cleaning unit 32.

[0031] Furthermore, there is no restriction on the arrangement position of the detection device 4, as long as the detection device 4 can detect the position of the substrate. For example, in some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the detection device 4 includes two detection components 41, and the two detection components 41 are respectively arranged corresponding to the input station 11 and the output station 13. Specifically, the detection component 41 is a photoelectric sensor, and the base 1 is provided with a transmitting end and a receiving end of the photoelectric sensor in a y direction. When the substrate is transferred to the input station 11, the infrared light emitted by the transmitting end of the photoelectric sensor is intercepted, and the photoelectric sensor detects the position of the substrate and sends the position information of the substrate to the cleaning device 3.

[0032] It should be noted that the detection component 41 may also be an ultrasonic sensor or other sensors known to those skilled in the art that can detect the position of an object.

[0033] In the actual production process, the operator may need to adjust the position of the cleaning device 3 according to actual needs. In order to more conveniently adjust the position of the cleaning device 3, in some embodiments, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the base 1 is provided with a guide structure 5 on one side in the y direction, and the guide structure 5 extends along the x direction. The cleaning device 3 also includes a movable component 31, and the movable component 31 is movably connected to the guide structure 5. The movable component 31 includes a mounting portion 311, and the mounting portion 311 is connected to the cleaning portion 32. By providing the guide structure 5, the movable component 31 is movable on the guide structure 5, so that the cleaning device 3 can clean any position on the cleaning station 12, which is suitable for more cleaning needs.

[0034] It should be noted that the detection device 4 may also be movably connected to the guide structure 5 , and the operator may adjust the position of the detection device 4 according to actual needs, thereby adjusting the sizes of the input station 11 , the cleaning station 12 and the output station 13 .

[0035] Since the docking station 100 may need to transfer substrates of different specifications, and the thickness of substrates of different specifications is different, if the height of the cleaning portion 32 is lower than the thickness of the substrate, it is difficult to completely remove foreign matter on the substrate. In order to adapt to substrates of various specifications, in some embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, the movable assembly 31 further includes a mounting seat 312, the mounting seat 312 extends along the thickness direction of the base 1, and the mounting portion 311 is movably mounted on the mounting seat 312. In this arrangement, by adjusting the position of the mounting portion 311 on the mounting seat 312, the height of the cleaning portion 32 can be adjusted to adapt to substrates of various thickness specifications.

[0036] Only one cleaning unit 32 may not be able to completely remove foreign matter on the substrate. In order to ensure that foreign matter is completely removed before the substrate enters the next process, in some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, there are two movable components 31 and two cleaning parts 32, and the mounting parts 311 on each movable component 31 are connected to the cleaning parts 32 in a one-to-one correspondence. There are two cleaning parts 32, and if the first cleaning part 32 does not completely remove the foreign matter, the second cleaning part 32 can be used to remove it again, ensuring that the foreign matter on the substrate is completely removed.

[0037] It should be noted that there is no limit to the number of cleaning units 32 , and three or even more cleaning units 32 may be provided, as long as the foreign matter on the substrate can be completely removed.

[0038] Furthermore, since the foreign matter on the substrate is not evenly distributed, if the two cleaning parts 32 are arranged on the same side, the foreign matter at the farthest end may not be removed. Therefore, in some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the base 1 is provided with the guide structure 5 on both sides in the y direction, each movable assembly 31 is movably connected to the guide structure 5 in a one-to-one correspondence, and the two movable assemblies 31 are staggered in the y direction. In this way, even if the foreign matter at the farthest end is not removed during the first cleaning, it can be removed during the second cleaning.

[0039] In some embodiments, Figure 1As shown, two conveying parts 21 are provided, and the two conveying parts 21 are spaced apart in the y direction, and the substrate is arranged across the two conveying parts 21. Such an arrangement, on the one hand, has lower production costs compared to a whole conveying part 21, and on the other hand, if the position of the substrate is shifted when entering the input station 11, the position of the substrate can be adjusted by adjusting the speed of the two conveying parts 21.

[0040] After the cleaning unit 32 removes the foreign matter on the substrate, the foreign matter will be scattered on the site, requiring workers to clean it regularly. The foreign matter is generally electronic components, some of which can be recycled. After being scattered on the site, they can only be discarded after being stepped on by passing workers. In order to facilitate the recycling of the foreign matter, in some embodiments, Figure 1 As shown, the docking station 100 further includes a receiving groove 6 for storing foreign matter on the substrate, and the receiving groove 6 is arranged in the y direction relative to the cleaning device 3. In this way, the foreign matter is stored in the receiving groove 6, which is convenient for subsequent recycling and reuse. Specifically, the receiving groove 6 is arranged to be tilted downward to prevent the foreign matter from accumulating in one place and overflowing from the receiving groove 6.

[0041] In order to prevent the foreign matter removed by the cleaning unit 32 from being scattered on the site, in some embodiments, as Figure 2 As shown, the docking station 100 further includes a shielding portion 7, which is arranged in the y direction relative to the cleaning device 3. Specifically, a side of the shielding portion 7 close to the base 1 is covered with a sticky material to adhere to the removed foreign matter for later recycling.

[0042] It should be noted that, in some embodiments, the receiving groove 6 and the shielding portion 7 can be simultaneously arranged on the side opposite to the cleaning device 3 in the y direction. Such an arrangement can ensure that the removed foreign matter is trapped in the receiving groove 6 and the shielding portion 7.

[0043] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
