Based on the embodiments of the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the preferred embodiment of the utility model proposes a conveyor line for PCB board detection, which is generally installed inside an oven and is used for conveying and detecting PCB boards in the oven, usually detecting the working condition of PCB boards in a high temperature environment. The conveyor line mainly includes a conveyor line body 1 and two detection mechanisms, which are distributed along the conveying direction of the conveyor line body 1. The detection mechanism is composed of an upper detection component 2 and a lower detection component 3, which are respectively used to detect the upper and bottom of the PCB board.

[0026] like Figure 2 As shown, the conveyor line body 1 is composed of two tracks 11, four seats 13, two transmission shafts 15, two screw rods 14, a transmission motor 18, an adjustment motor 19, an auxiliary shaft 16 and other components, wherein the four seats 13 are fixed on the bottom plate 6, and each two seats 13 form a group. A transmission shaft 15 and a screw rod 14 are arranged between each group of seats 13, and the transmission shaft 15 and the screw rod 14 are arranged in parallel, and the two ends thereof are respectively connected to the two seats 13 for rotation. The two ends of one track 11 are respectively fixed to the top of the two seats 13, and the other track 11 is connected to the two screw rods 14 for transmission, and is connected to the two transmission shafts 15 for rotation and interlacing. When the screw rod 14 rotates, it can drive the track 11 to move, thereby realizing the adjustment of the spacing between the two tracks 11.

[0027] Both ends of the transmission shaft 15 are rotatably connected to the stand 13 through bearings, and a driving sprocket is provided at the end and middle part of the two transmission shafts 15. The transmission shaft 15 is a prismatic structure, so the driving sprocket located in the middle part of the screw rod 14 is interlaced with the screw rod 14. The driving sprocket can slide along the axial direction of the transmission shaft 15, but when the transmission shaft 15 rotates, it will also drive the driving sprocket to rotate.

[0028] Each track 11 is provided with a transmission chain 12 for conveying PCB boards. The two ends of the transmission chain 12 are respectively meshed with the driving sprockets on the two transmission shafts 15, and the output end of the transmission motor 18 is also provided with a sprocket. The front end of one of the lead screws 14 is also provided with a driving sprocket, which is connected to the sprocket on the transmission motor 18 through a chain. When the transmission motor 18 rotates, it can drive the transmission shaft 15 to rotate, and then drive the transmission chain 12 to rotate, so as to convey the PCB boards.

[0029] A sprocket and a bevel gear 17 are respectively provided at the two ends of one of the screw rods 14, and a bevel gear 17 is also provided at one end of the other screw rod 14. A bevel gear 17 is respectively provided at both ends of the auxiliary shaft 16, and the bevel gears 17 at both ends of the auxiliary shaft 16 are respectively meshed with the bevel gears 17 at the ends of the two screw rods 14. A sprocket is also provided at the output end of the adjusting motor 19, and the sprocket is connected to the sprocket at the end of the screw rod 14. When the adjusting motor 19 rotates, it can drive one of the screw rods 14 to rotate, and with the cooperation of the auxiliary shaft 16 and the bevel gear 17, it drives the other screw rod 14 to rotate synchronously, and then drives the track 11 to move along the axial direction of the screw rod 14, so as to adjust the spacing between the two tracks 11.

[0030] The conveyor line can be different from the width of your PCB board, and the spacing between the two tracks 11 can be adjusted. Because it is chain-driven, it can work normally in a high temperature environment.

[0031] like Figure 1 , Figure 3 As shown, the upper detection component 2 is located above the conveyor line body 1, and is composed of a downward pressure cylinder 23, an upper fixed plate 21, a lower pressure plate 22, an upper mold 25 and other components, wherein the lower pressure plate 22 is located below the upper fixed plate 21 and is connected by a guide rod, the upper end of the guide rod is fixed on the upper fixed plate 21, and the lower end is fixed on the bottom plate 6, the lower pressure plate 22 and the guide rod are connected for upward and downward sliding, the output end of the downward pressure cylinder 23 is connected to the connecting rod 24, the lower end of the connecting rod 24 passes through the upper fixed plate 21 and is connected to the lower pressure plate 22, driving the lower pressure plate 22 to move downward. The upper mold 25 is fixed at the bottom of the lower pressure plate 22. A cavity is set at the bottom of the upper mold 25. The shape of the cavity is adapted to the shape of the PCB board. A plurality of detection columns 251 are set in the cavity. The position distribution of the detection columns 251 is consistent with the position distribution of the components on the upper part of the PCB board. The downward pressure cylinder 23 drives the upper mold 25 to move downward, and the upper part of the PCB board contacts the cavity. The detection columns 251 contact the components on the upper part of the PCB board and detect them.

[0032] like Figure 1 , Figure 4 As shown, the lower detection component 3 is located below the conveyor line body 1, and is composed of a lower fixed plate 31, an upper pressure plate 32, a cylinder fixing seat 34, a lifting cylinder 35, a lower mold 33 and other components, wherein the lifting cylinder 35 is vertically fixed on the cylinder fixing seat 34, the lower fixed plate 31 is located below the upper pressure plate 32, the output end of the lifting cylinder 35 passes through the lower fixed plate 31 and is connected to the upper pressure plate 32, a guide rod is provided at the bottom of the upper pressure plate 32, and the lower end of the guide rod is slidably connected to the bottom plate 6 up and down.

[0033] The lower mold 33 is fixed on the upper part of the lower pressure plate 22. A plurality of positioning blocks 36 are arranged on the lower mold 33. Each positioning block 36 has a groove, which is adapted to the shape of the components at the bottom of the PCB board. Each groove has a detection needle 361. When the lifting cylinder 35 drives the upper pressure plate 32 to move upward, the components at the bottom of the PCB board will be accommodated in the groove. At the same time, the detection needle 361 will contact the corresponding positions of each component on the PCB board to detect it.

[0036] A blocking mechanism 4 is provided on the side of the lower detection assembly 3 close to the incoming material direction, which is used to block the PCB board from continuing to be transported backwards when the PCB board reaches the position of the detection mechanism. Figure 5 .

[0037] The blocking mechanism 4 is composed of a vertically fixed blocking cylinder 41 and a blocking rod 42 connected to the output end of the blocking cylinder 41. At the same time, an avoidance groove for the blocking rod 42 to pass through is opened on one side of the lower fixed plate 31 and the lower mold 33. The blocking cylinder 41 drives the blocking rod 42 to move upward through the avoidance groove and block and intercept the PCB board transmitted on the conveyor line so that the detection mechanism can detect the PCB board.
