[0060] Example 1
[0061] This embodiment provides a trimming platform, which is used to support a circuit board under the circuit board so as to trim the circuit board.
[0062] See also Figure 1 The trimming platform provided in this embodiment includes a bearing platform 1, a feed platform 2, a plurality of bearing support plates 3 arranged at intervals, and a plurality of feed support plates 4 arranged at intervals.
[0063] The feed platform 2 is located at the side of the carrying platform 1 and is provided with a cutting groove 203 for the cutter to enter. The carrying support plate 3 is installed on the carrying platform 1, and the end position of the carrying support plate 3 protrudes from the carrying platform 1 toward the feed platform 2. The feed support plate 4 is installed on the feed platform 2, and the end position of the feed support plate 4 protrudes from the feed platform 2 toward the carrying platform 1. Each feed support plate 4 is located in the interval between two carrying support plates 3.
[0064] In this embodiment, the feed platform 2 includes a proximal platform 201 and a distal platform 202 located on the side of the proximal platform 201 away from the supporting platform 1; wherein the proximal platform 201 and the distal platform 202 are spaced apart to form the trimming groove 203.
[0065] Correspondingly, the proximal platform 201 is provided with a proximal avoidance slot 2011 corresponding to the position of each bearing support plate 3 for the corresponding protruding part of the bearing support plate 3 to be inserted; the bearing platform 1 is provided with a bearing avoidance slot 101 corresponding to the position of each feed support plate 4 for the corresponding protruding part of the feed support plate 4 to be inserted.
[0066] See also Figure 2 The feed platform 2 further includes a platform bracket 204 and a platform linear drive mechanism 205. The proximal platform 201 is fixedly mounted on the top of the platform bracket 204, and the distal platform 202 is rotatably connected to the platform bracket 204 via a horizontal rotating shaft 206. The platform linear drive mechanism 205 is rotatably mounted on the platform bracket 204, and the driving end of the platform linear drive mechanism 205 is hinged to the distal platform 202.
[0067] When the driving end of the platform linear drive mechanism 205 retracts, the distal platform 202 rotates to a horizontal state to receive the circuit board together with the proximal platform 201. When the cutting is completed, the driving end of the platform linear drive mechanism 205 extends, and the distal platform 202 rotates to an inclined state so that the cut edge material slides down and falls into the collection box below.
[0068] Optionally, the trimming platform further includes a distance adjustment mechanism 5 for adjusting the distance between the carrying platform 1 and the feed platform 2 .
[0069] Specifically, the distance adjustment mechanism 5 includes a guide rail 501 , a load-bearing gear 502 , a load-bearing motor for driving the load-bearing gear 502 to rotate, a feed gear 503 , and a feed motor for driving the feed gear 503 to rotate.
[0070] The top of the guide rail 501 is a rack structure 5011. The load-bearing gear 502 is rotatably mounted on the load-bearing platform 1 and meshes with the rack structure 5011. The feed gear 503 is rotatably mounted on the feed platform 2 and meshes with the rack structure 5011.
[0071] In this embodiment, there are two feed platforms 2, and the bearing platform 1 is located between the two feed platforms 2. Furthermore, the length of the bearing support plate 3 is not less than twice the length of the feed support plate 4.
[0072] Optionally, the carrying platform 1, the proximal platform 201 and the distal platform 202 are all hollow structures, and adsorption holes are provided on the surfaces of the three to adsorb the circuit board.
[0073] When the trimming platform provided in this embodiment needs to perform trimming operation on a circuit board, the working process is as follows:
[0074] S101: The load-bearing motor drives the load-bearing gear 502 to move along the rack structure 5011, and the feed motor drives the feed gear 503 to move along the rack structure 5011, so that the load-bearing platform 1 and the feed platform 2 move to appropriate positions;
[0075] It should be noted that, when the carrying platform 1 and the feed platform 2 approach each other, the carrying support plate 3 can be inserted into the proximal avoidance slot 2011, thereby avoiding interference between the carrying support plate 3 and the feed platform 2; similarly, the feed support plate 4 can be inserted into the carrying avoidance slot 101, thereby avoiding interference between the feed support plate 4 and the carrying platform 1.
[0076] Furthermore, the length dimension of the bearing support plate 3 is not less than twice the length dimension of the feed support plate 4, which can ensure that even if the two feed platforms are close to the bearing platform 1 at the same time, the feed support plates 4 on the two feed platforms 2 will not interfere with each other.
[0077] S102: placing the circuit board on the trimming platform, and the supporting platform 1, the proximal platform 201 and the distal platform 202 adsorb the circuit board;
[0078] It should be noted that since the bearing support plate 3 and the feed support plate 4 both protrude outward, even if there is a spacing space between the bearing platform 1 and the feed platform 2, the bearing support plate 3 and the feed support plate 4 can still provide support to the circuit board to prevent the circuit board from sinking downward due to insufficient support.
[0079] S103: using a cutter or the like to cut the circuit board along the cutting groove 203;
[0080] After the cutting is completed, the parts located on the carrying platform 1 and the proximal platform 201 need to be kept; the parts located on the distal platform 202 are the edge materials and need to be discarded;
[0081] S104: the driving end of the platform linear driving mechanism 205 extends, the distal platform 202 rotates to an inclined state, and then the vacuum is broken to release the edge material, so that the cut edge material slides downward and falls into the collection box below;
[0082] S105: Finally, the driving end of the platform linear driving mechanism 205 retracts, and the distal platform 202 rotates to restore the horizontal state so as to perform edge cutting next time.
[0083] In summary, the trimming platform provided in this embodiment has the following beneficial effects:
[0084] ① A trimming groove 203 is provided for the cutter to pass through, so as to facilitate trimming of the circuit board on the trimming platform;
[0085] ② Since the load-bearing support plate 3 and the feed support plate 4 are both protruding outward, they can provide support for the circuit board to prevent the circuit board from sinking downward due to insufficient support;
[0086] ③ The distal platform 202 can be rotated so as to throw the cut edge material into the collection box.
[0087] Example 2
[0088] This embodiment provides a trimming device, which uses the trimming platform provided in Embodiment 1 and has the same functions and beneficial effects.
[0089] See also Figure 3 The trimming device provided in this embodiment includes a material receiving platform 100, a visual inspection device 700, a longitudinal cutting platform 200, a transverse cutting platform 300, a cutter assembly 400, a material unloading conveyor belt 500, and a transport mechanism 600.
[0090] Optionally, the longitudinal cutting platform 200 and the transverse cutting platform 300 are any cutting platforms provided in Example 1, and their specific structures and working principles are the same as those of the cutting platforms provided in Example 1.
[0091] Alternatively, see Figure 4 The horizontal cutting platform 300 only retains two feed platforms 2, and no bearing platform 1 and bearing support plate 3 are set between the two feed platforms 2. At this time, the suspended position between the two feed platforms 2 can be supported by the feed support plate 4 for the circuit board. Furthermore, the feed support plates 4 on the two feed platforms 2 are staggered to avoid interference.
[0092] The cutting blade assembly 400 is used to perform trimming along the trimming groove 203 of the trimming platform, for example, see Figure 5 , may include a cutter head 400a and a cutter robot arm 400b that drives the cutter head 400a to move in the front, back, up, down, left, and right directions. The specific structure is the existing technology and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.
[0093] The conveying mechanism 600 is used to perform a first robot 600a for material transfer operations between the material receiving platform 100 and the longitudinal cutting platform 200, a second robot 600b for material rotation and transfer operations between the longitudinal cutting platform 200 and the transverse cutting platform 300, and a third robot 600c for material transfer operations between the transverse cutting platform 300 and the unloading conveyor belt 500.
[0094] When the trimming device provided in this embodiment needs to trim the edge of a circuit board, the steps are as follows:
[0095] S201: placing the circuit board on the receiving platform 100;
[0096] S202: using a visual inspection device 700 such as a CCD or X-RAY inspection device to obtain the current placement posture of the circuit board, and then driving the receiving platform 100 to rotate around the vertical axis so that the circuit board on the receiving platform 100 is at a preset placement angle;
[0097] S203: The first robot 600a places the circuit board on the longitudinal cutting platform 200; then, the cutter assembly 400 cuts off the longitudinal edge of the circuit board along the cutting groove 203 of the longitudinal cutting platform 200;
[0098] The specific cutting steps of the cutter assembly 400 cutting off the longitudinal edge material of the circuit board along the cutting groove 203 of the longitudinal cutting platform 200 are the same as steps S101 to S105, so they are not repeated here.
[0099] S204: the second manipulator 600b rotates the circuit board 90° around the vertical axis and places it on the horizontal edge cutting platform 300; the cutter assembly 400 cuts off the horizontal edge of the circuit board along the cutting groove 203 of the horizontal edge cutting platform 300;
[0100] The specific cutting steps of the cutter assembly 400 cutting the lateral edge of the circuit board along the cutting groove 203 of the lateral cutting platform 300 are similar to steps S101 to S105 and will not be repeated here.
[0101] It should be noted that the longitudinal cutting platform 200 and the transverse cutting platform 300 have the same structure, and both are the trimming platforms in Example 1; before the second robot 600b is placed on the transverse cutting platform 300, it first rotates the circuit board around the vertical axis by 90°, so that the transverse edge of the circuit board corresponds to the trimming groove 203 of the transverse cutting platform 300, so that the transverse cutting platform 300 can cooperate with the cutter assembly 400 to cut off the transverse edge.
[0102] S205: The third robot 600c puts the circuit board into the unloading conveyor belt 500, and the unloading conveyor belt 500 transports the trimmed circuit board to the downstream workshop.
[0103] In summary, the trimming equipment provided in this embodiment has the following beneficial effects: the longitudinal and transverse edges of the circuit board can be cut off in sequence without any human intervention, thus realizing the mechanized operation of circuit board trimming, thereby reducing labor costs and improving production efficiency.
[0104] On the basis of Example 1, for the features not explained in this example, the explanation in Example 1 is adopted and will not be repeated here.
