Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the field of measuring mechanisms, in particular to a measuring mechanism for automatically measuring the height of UV glue. Background Art

[0002] In order to ensure the performance of the product, after the PCB board is welded, UV glue needs to be sprayed on the solder joints. The role of UV glue is to protect the solder joints, prevent the solder joints from falling off, increase the tensile strength of the solder joints, prevent the solder joints from connecting with the shielding shell and causing a short circuit, and increase the service life of the corresponding product. Therefore, the coverage thickness of UV glue is particularly important. Due to the error of the spraying process, the amount of glue sprayed is more or less. Too little will affect the electrical performance and tensile performance, and too much will cause assembly interference in the next process of assembling the shell. Therefore, the height of the UV glue on the PCB will be fully inspected on the production line.

[0003] Common measurement methods include manual measurement using go gauges, stop gauges, and micrometers, but manual measurement is inefficient. In order to improve measurement efficiency, automatic measurement equipment can only be introduced or developed. Utility Model Content

For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal connection of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances. The following is a description of the embodiments of the present invention based on its overall structure.

[0017] Reference Figure 1 The utility model discloses a measuring mechanism for automatically measuring the height of UV glue, comprising: a main control machine, a conveyor belt 32 for transmitting a clamp 33, and a mounting bracket 11 located on the side of the conveyor belt 32, wherein the mounting bracket 11 is provided with an infrared sensor 31 for judging the position reached by the clamp 33, and the mounting bracket 11 is provided with a lifting mechanism 14, and a digital display scale 21 is provided at the movable end of the lifting mechanism 14. The digital display scale 21 comprises a single-chip microcomputer, a data transmission interface, an interactive button, a grating sensor, a measuring rod 22 that can be lifted up and down, and a reset spring, and the digital display scale 21 is electrically connected to the main control machine. When the clamp 33 carrying the PCB to be detected arrives at the designated position, the lifting mechanism 14 drives the digital display scale 21 to descend, the measuring rod 22 is adaptively lifted and lowered while the lower end is against the UV glue coating position of the PCB, and the digital display scale 21 transmits the measurement data to the main control machine.

[0018] The worker only needs to put the PCB into the fixture 33 and then transfer the fixture 33 to the conveyor belt 32. The measuring mechanism is automated and the detection efficiency is high. After the lifting mechanism 14 falls, the measuring rod 22 of the digital measuring tool still has a large margin for lifting and lowering, which can offset the error of the reciprocating motion of the lifting mechanism 14.

[0019] When installing the measuring mechanism, the digital display scale 21 can be purchased directly on the market, and the angle code for hanging the digital display scale 21 and the clamp 33 for clamping the PCB can be designed. During the specific measurement, the bottom of the measuring rod 22 falls to the side of the UV glue coating position in advance, and the free position of the PCB is selected as the reference surface. When the PCB continues to move forward, the UV glue coating position begins to lift the measuring rod 22. When the PCB leaves the bottom of the measuring rod 22, the measuring rod 22 falls back and the lifting mechanism 14 rises. The difference between the two height data in a short time corresponds to the height of the UV glue coating position, and there is no need to repeatedly zero and calibrate the reference point of the digital display scale 21.

[0020] As an improvement of the above solution, a display screen 12 and an alarm 13 are provided on the front of the mounting bracket 11, and an interactive button is provided next to the display screen 12. The display screen 12 is used to display the height obtained by the digital display scale 21. The display screen 12 and the alarm 13 are both electrically connected to the main control machine. When the height detected by the digital display scale 21 exceeds a set threshold, the alarm 13 emits a sound or light alarm.

[0021] As an improvement of the above solution, a pair of side guide rails 34 for guiding the clamp 33 to be centered are provided on the conveyor belt 32. The two side guide rails 34 are arranged in parallel. The same ends of the two side guide rails 34 are separated from each other to form an inlet and outlet that is wide outside and narrow inside, which plays a better guiding role. The upper edge of the side guide rail 34 is lower than the upper edge of the clamp 33, so that the upper edge of the clamp 33 can be recognized by the infrared sensor 31. When the infrared sensor 31 recognizes that the clamp 33 carrying the PCB has moved into place, the lifting mechanism 14 puts down the digital display meter 21.

[0022] As an improvement of the above solution, a roller is provided at the bottom of the measuring rod 22. When the measuring rod 22 abuts against the UV glue coating position of the PCB, the roller rotates along with the movement of the PCB, which can be understood as the roller rolling over the UV glue coating position.

[0023] As an improvement of the above solution, the lifting mechanism 14 is a gas rod, the fixed part of the gas rod is located inside the mounting bracket 11, and the movable part of the gas rod is located outside the mounting bracket 11. In this solution, the lifting mechanism 14 only needs to be lifted to two extreme positions, and the use of gas rods can greatly reduce manufacturing costs.

[0024] As an improvement of the above solution, a foot switch is provided at the bottom of the mounting bracket 11, and the foot switch is electrically connected to the main control machine.

[0025] The foregoing description of specific exemplary embodiments of the utility model is for the purpose of illustration and illustration. These descriptions are not intended to limit the utility model to the precise form disclosed, and it is clear that many changes and variations can be made based on the above teachings. The purpose of selecting and describing the exemplary embodiments is to explain the specific principles of the utility model and its practical application, so that those skilled in the art can realize and utilize various different exemplary embodiments of the utility model and various different options and changes.
