Because the wires only appear on one side, double-sided boards: There are wiring on both sides of this circuit board, but to use the wires on both sides, there must be appropriate circuit connections between the two sides. This "bridge" between circuits is called a via. A via is a small hole filled or coated with metal on the PCB, which can be connected to the wires on both sides.

[0023] When processing a PCB board, whether it is a single-sided board or a double-sided board, a flip jig is required, and the jig includes two symmetrically arranged L-support seats 12, and a jig plate 16 is rotatably arranged between the two L-support seats 12. A stepper motor 1 is provided on the lower part of the inner wall of one of the L-support seats 12, and a synchronous wheel 3 is provided on the upper part of the inner wall. The driving wheel on the output shaft of the stepper motor 1 drives the synchronous wheel 3 through a belt 2, and the output end of the synchronous wheel 3 is fixedly connected to the jig plate 16. A U-shaped clamping head 13 is rotatably installed on the upper part of the inner wall of the other L-support seat 12, and the two clamping head blocks 17 of the U-shaped clamping head 13 clamp the jig plate 16 centripetally.

[0024] The stepper motor 1 drives the synchronous wheel 3 to rotate through the belt 2, and the synchronous wheel 3 drives the fixture plate 16 to rotate, while the U-shaped clamping head 13 rotates on the upper part of the inner wall of the other L support seat 12, thereby realizing the flipping of the fixture plate 16 and the PCB board.

[0025] A plurality of limit blocks 7 are arranged in a rectangular distribution on the top surface of the jig plate 16 and near the edge side, and a pneumatic finger 6 is provided on the upper part of each limit block 7. A plurality of movable limit blocks 8 are symmetrically arranged between the plurality of limit blocks 7 and on the top surface of the jig plate 16. Each movable limit block 8 is connected to the jig plate 16 through a magnetic attraction component. A proximity switch 10 is arranged on one side of the jig plate 16. The magnetic attraction component includes an adsorption magnet block 5 fixedly arranged on the bottom surface of each movable limit block 8. A plurality of positioning pin holes which are plugged into the adsorption magnet block 5 and magnetically attracted are opened on the top surface of the jig plate 16.

[0026] This solution is compatible with products of different specifications. When changing the product type, you only need to pull out the movable limit block 8 and put it in the specified position. There is an adsorption magnet block 5 at the bottom of the movable limit block 8, and the positioning pin hole near the adsorption magnet block 5 is added for positioning and quick replacement.

[0027] An inverted U-shaped bracket 14 is welded on the top surface of the jig plate 16 and close to the side of the proximity switch 10, and a blocking hard limit 4 is provided on one side of the limit sensor 11 and located on the top surface of the jig plate 16. Each limit block 7 has a mounting base block 18, and each pneumatic finger 6 is arranged on one side of the mounting base block 18. A motor carrier 15 is welded on the outside of the stepper motor 1 and located on the outer surface of the L support seat 12. The stepper motor 1 is fixedly sleeved in the motor carrier 15.

The limit sensor 11 faces one side of the jig plate 16, and a blocking hard limit 4 is provided on one side of the limit sensor 11 and located between the L support seat 12 and the jig plate 16. The top surface of the L support seat 12 on which the U-shaped clamping head 13 is installed has a camera calibration block 9.

[0028] The robot places the large-size PCB board in the limit block 7 and the movable limit block 8. The proximity switch 10 senses the presence of the product and transmits the signal to the PLC. The PLC controls the pneumatic finger 6 to press down and fix the product. The stepper motor 1 drives the synchronous wheel 3 to rotate. After the rotation is completed, the robot clamps the PCB board and moves downward, thus completing the flipping process.

[0029] The PLC model can be selected according to actual needs. In the present utility model, the PLC model is S7-200, which has the advantages of high reliability, strong anti-interference ability and convenient maintenance.

[0030] How it works

[0031] The flipping fixture for PCB board processing is used when it is necessary to flip the PCB board in a space-constrained area, such as using a six-axis manipulator to transfer a large-sized PCB board from a loading position to a docking station, and flipping work needs to be performed in the middle; limited by the movement radius of the manipulator, the width of the flipping fixture added between the docking station and the manipulator should not be too long. At this time, the present solution is used to be compatible with products of different specifications. When changing the product type, it is only necessary to pull out the movable limit block 8 and put it in the specified position. There is an adsorption magnet block 5 at the bottom of the movable limit block 8, and the positioning pin hole near the adsorption magnet block 5 is added for positioning and quick replacement. The manipulator places the large-sized PCB board in the limit block 7 and the movable limit block 8. The proximity switch 10 senses the presence of the product and transmits the signal to the PLC. The PLC controls the pneumatic finger 6 to press down and fix the product, and the stepper motor 1 drives the synchronous wheel 3 to rotate. After the rotation is completed, the manipulator clamps the PCB board and moves downward, thereby completing the flipping process.
