Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of feeding jigs, in particular to a VCP line sheet material feeding jig. Background Art

[0002] In recent years, electronic products have been widely used in various fields and are updated at a rate of several generations per year. As an important component of electronic products, printed circuit boards are also constantly being improved and updated. With the rise of new energy vehicles, FPC has been widely used in new energy vehicle power batteries. For power batteries, most of them are composed of power battery packs, battery modules, and battery cells. Power batteries are generally controlled by BMS; multiple battery cells constitute a battery module, and the battery module needs to monitor the voltage and temperature of the battery cells, which is traditionally achieved through module sampling harness components.

[0003] With the development of technology, in order to meet the requirements of high efficiency and automation for large-scale production of new electric vehicles, integrated buses are used to reduce manual assembly and wiring errors, meet the requirements of highly automated automobile production, and realize voltage collection, battery protection and power transmission between batteries. At present, all companies have adopted the form of flexible printed circuit board FPC + connector to replace the traditional sampling harness assembly, and FPC can also monitor the charging process. Given that the FPC used in power batteries is relatively large in size, usually between 1 meter and 2.5 meters, it currently requires two people to load the material, and the flatness of the FPC cannot be guaranteed, so it is necessary to continuously optimize product auxiliary tools to meet product production. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of the utility model is to provide a VCP line sheet material feeding fixture, which is based on the vertical electroplating line (VCP line) in the FPC processing technology, and realizes single-person feeding of flexible circuit boards over 1 meter in length during vertical electroplating operations, thereby reducing personnel costs, improving operating efficiency, and enhancing product quality.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present application proposes a VCP line sheet material feeding fixture, comprising:

[0006] The height of the fixture support plate is less than the height of the FPC product when it is placed horizontally;

[0007] The front baffle of the fixture is connected to the fixture support plate to form a limiting groove, which is used to accommodate the FPC product;

[0008] The VCP line moving axis is used to drive the FPC product into the electroplating solution tank;

[0009] Multiple VCP line clamps are located on one side of the VCP line moving axis and are used to clamp FPC products.

[0010] Furthermore, it also includes loading positioning grooves, which are located on both sides of the top of the fixture support plate; when loading, the VCP line moving axis is stuck in the loading positioning groove.

[0011] Furthermore, it also includes a loading handle, which is symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the jig support plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the VCP line clamp plate clamp is a single-sided opening clamp, that is, it opens and closes away from the moving axis side of the VCP line.

[0013] Furthermore, the jig front baffle is L-shaped, including a connected bottom plate and a baffle, the bottom plate is inserted into the jig support plate, and the baffle is lower than the jig support plate.

[0014] Furthermore, the VCP line clamp is opened and closed by controlling the foot switch on the vertical electroplating line, thereby playing the role of fixing and conducting the FPC product.

[0015] Furthermore, the width of the limiting groove is greater than the thickness of the FPC product by 0.5-1 mm.

[0016] Furthermore, the length of the jig support plate is greater than the length of the FPC product, and the length of the jig front baffle is slightly less than or equal to the length of the FPC product.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the above technical solution adopted by the utility model has the following advantages: the feeding fixture of the present application helps operators to accurately align and install FPC products longer than 1 meter, and its simple structure avoids complex mechanical parts to reduce manufacturing costs, and is easy to operate and convenient for production; it reduces the number of operators and effectively reduces labor costs. It effectively reduces wrinkles and improves product quality. The feeding fixture can ensure that the feeding position of FPC products is consistent, thereby ensuring stable product quality.

[0027] See also Figure 1-3 This embodiment provides a VCP line sheet material feeding fixture, which is based on the vertical plating line (VCP line) in the FPC processing technology, and includes:

[0028] The height of the fixture support plate is less than the height of the FPC product when it is placed horizontally;

[0029] The jig front baffle is connected to the jig support plate to form a limit groove, which is used to accommodate the FPC product, and the width of the limit groove is 0.5-1mm greater than the thickness of the FPC product; the jig front baffle is L-shaped, including a connected bottom plate and a baffle, the bottom plate is inserted into the jig support plate, and the height of the baffle is lower than the jig support plate;

[0030] The VCP line moving axis is a ring-shaped belt that can move continuously and is used to drive the FPC products into the electroplating solution tank;

[0031] A plurality of VCP line clamp plate clamps are located on one side of the VCP line moving axis and are used to clamp the FPC product; the VCP line clamp plate clamp is a single-sided opening clamp, that is, it opens and closes away from the VCP line moving axis;

[0032] The loading positioning grooves are located on both sides of the top of the fixture support plate and are used for positioning between the fixture and the VCP line moving axis. When loading, the VCP line moving axis is stuck in the loading positioning groove to ensure that the loading position of the FPC products is consistent.

[0033] The loading handle is symmetrically arranged at the bottom of the jig support plate and is used for manually holding the jig.

[0034] It should be noted that the VCP line moving axis and the VCP line clamp are devices on the vertical electroplating line. The VCP line clamp is opened and closed by a foot switch on the vertical electroplating line, which plays a role in fixing and conducting the FPC product.

The height of the jig support plate can be 240mm, and the height of the jig front baffle can be 200mm (to facilitate the placement of the FPC product in the limit slot). After placement, the FPC product is 10mm higher than the jig support plate, reserving a position for the VCP line clamp. Use the foot pedal to control the VCP line clamp to open, hold the loading handle with both hands to send the jig to the vicinity of the VCP line clamp position, and clamp the loading positioning groove on the VCP line moving axis so that the jig is close to the VCP line moving axis. Use the foot pedal to control the VCP line clamp to close, clamp the FPC product, move down to remove the jig, and complete the loading operation.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, rather than to limit it.
