[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Apparently, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present invention. All other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Unless otherwise defined, the technical terms or scientific terms used herein shall have the ordinary meanings understood by those of ordinary skill in the art in the field to which the present invention belongs. The words such as "including" used herein mean that the elements or items appearing before this word cover the elements or items listed after this word and their equivalents, without excluding other elements or items.
[0027] The following further describes the detailed implementation manners of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0028] Refer to Figures 1-3 and Figure 5 . An automatic alignment device of the present invention includes a jig module 1 and a vibration and flipping module 2.
[0029] The jig module 1 is provided with a positioning groove 11. The positioning groove 11 is used for placing the carrier 17; a plurality of slots 171 distributed in rows and columns are provided on the surface of the carrier 17, and each slot 171 is used for accommodating an alignment object 100 (such as a tiny part / product like an electronic component). The positioning groove 11 is also used for elastically clamping the carrier 17 placed therein to position the carrier 17.
[0030] The vibration and tilting module 2 is connected to the fixture module 1, and is used to drive the fixture module 1 and the carrier 17 placed and positioned in the positioning groove 11 to reciprocate along the horizontal first axial direction of the slot 171 on the carrier 17, and to reciprocally tilt at a certain angle around the first axial direction. During the tilting process, the carrier 17 changes from a horizontal state to an up-and-down reciprocating swing in the second axial direction that is horizontally orthogonal to the first axial direction.
[0031] In many manufacturing fields, the precise handling and alignment of tiny parts have always been a highly challenging task. Currently, for tiny parts such as electronic components, the commonly adopted method is that an operator uses tweezers to pick up the product and place it into a fixture. Although the traditional manual picking and placing method can place the product into the fixture, the problems brought about are also very obvious, that is, low efficiency, and a large amount of manpower is required to increase production capacity, thus increasing the labor cost.
[0032] The design purpose of the present utility model is to quickly and efficiently replace manual operations to reduce labor costs and improve efficiency. When the same number (or approximately the same number) of alignment objects 100 in a scattered state as the number of slots 171 on the carrier 17 are placed in the positioning groove 11, the vibration and tilting module 2 drives the fixture module 1 to reciprocate along the first axial direction and to reciprocally swing up and down along the second axial direction, causing the fixture module 1 to vibrate and swing at a large angle, so that a large number of alignment objects 100 restricted in the positioning groove 11 can be quickly and neatly imported and placed on the precision carrier 17 at certain intervals and in a certain order, forming a precise positioning state continuously aligned in the slots 171 on the carrier 17, thereby achieving the purpose of changing the products from disordered arrangement to ordered arrangement, with high speed and efficiency, saving time, reducing the operation labor, and greatly reducing the cost of the previous manual placement.
[0033] Reference Figures 1-4 . In some embodiments, the fixture module 1 is further provided with an elastic pressing mechanism 14.

The first elastic pressing mechanism 15 is connected to the outside of the first groove wall 111. When the first groove wall 111 is elastically pressed by the first elastic pressing mechanism 15, the carrier 17 placed in the positioning groove 11 is pushed along the first axial direction towards the second groove wall 112, so that the edge of the carrier 17 is elastically pressed against the second groove wall 112, thereby elastically clamping and positioning the carrier 17 between the first groove wall 111 and the second groove wall 112 in the positioning groove 11.
[0034] In some embodiments, the elastic pressing mechanism 14 further includes a second elastic pressing mechanism 16. The positioning groove body 11 is further provided with a third groove wall 113 and a fourth groove wall 114 arranged along the first axial direction. Among them, the third groove wall 113 and the fourth groove wall 114 are arranged in parallel.

The second elastic pressing mechanism 16 is connected to the outer side of the third groove wall 113. When the third groove wall 113 is elastically pressed by the second elastic pressing mechanism 16, the carrier 17 placed in the positioning groove body 11 is pushed along the second axial direction towards the fourth groove wall 114, so that the other side of the carrier 17 is elastically pressed against the fourth groove wall 114, and the carrier 17 is elastically clamped and positioned between the third groove wall 113 and the fourth groove wall 114 in the positioning groove body 11. By elastically clamping the carrier 17 from two directions of the first axial direction and the second axial direction, the carrier 17 can be stably positioned in the positioning groove body 11.

Among them, the second groove wall 112 is connected to the fourth groove wall 114 through the second end and is fixedly arranged on the top surface of the fixture bottom plate 13. The first groove wall 111 and the third groove wall 113 are movably arranged on the top surface of the fixture bottom plate 13.

When the third groove wall 113 is elastically pressed by the second elastic pressing mechanism 16, the carrier 17 placed in the positioning groove body 11 is pushed towards the fourth groove wall 114 from the second axial direction, and the carrier 17 is elastically pressed against the open ends (free ends) of the first box wall 121 and the third box wall 122, so that the other side of the carrier 17 is indirectly elastically pressed against the fourth groove wall 114, so as to elastically clamp and position the carrier 17 between the third groove wall 113 and the fourth groove wall 114 in the positioning groove body 11.

[0044] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 . In some embodiments, the structures of the first elastic pressing mechanism 15 and the second elastic pressing mechanism 16 of the elastic pressing mechanism 14 are the same, and each is provided with 2 guide posts 143, 2 guide post bearings 142, 1 pressing plate 146, 2 springs 145 and 1 support 141.

[0045] Reference Figure 6 、 Figure 8 and Figure 1 . In some embodiments, the vibration and flipping module 2 includes a connected vibration sub-module 3 and a flipping sub-module 4.
[0046] As Figure 6 shown, in some embodiments, the vibration sub-module 3 is provided with a first servo motor 31, a first transmission mechanism 38, a crank-rocker mechanism 34 and a first connecting plate 37, which are connected in sequence, and a sliding mechanism 36.
[0047] Among them, the sliding mechanism 36 includes a pair of parallel linear guide rails 362 arranged along the first axial direction and sliders 361 fitted on the linear guide rails 362. The first connecting plate 37 is connected to the slider 361, and the first connecting plate 37 is further connected to the bottom surface of the fixture base plate 13, thereby connecting the vibrator module 3 and the fixture module 1. The first transmission mechanism 38 includes a first synchronous pulley 383, a second synchronous pulley 382, and a first synchronous belt 381 sleeved on the first synchronous pulley 383 and the second synchronous pulley 382. The first synchronous pulley 383 is connected to the rotating shaft of the first servo motor 31 and serves as the driving pulley, and the second synchronous pulley 382 serves as the driven pulley. The first servo motor 31 is installed on the bracket 32, and the second synchronous pulley 382 is rotatably connected to the bracket 32. The crank-rocker mechanism 34 includes a crank 342 and a rocker 341. One end of the rocker 341 is rotatably fitted on the crank 342, and the other end of the rocker 341 is movably connected to the first connecting plate 37. One end of the crank 342 is connected to the second synchronous pulley 382, and the other end of the crank 342 is rotatably connected to the support seat 35. The cooperation between the slider 361 and the linear guide rail 362 ensures the mechanical stability of the first connecting plate 37 during the reciprocating motion driven by the crank-rocker mechanism 34, reduces the friction coefficient, and lowers the noise.
[0048] The first servo motor 31 is used to drive the first synchronous pulley 383 to rotate, and drives the second synchronous pulley 382 to rotate through the first synchronous belt 381. The second synchronous pulley 382 further drives the crank 342 to rotate eccentrically, driving the rocker 341 movably connected to the first connecting plate 37 to make a reciprocating motion along the first axial direction under the guidance of the linear guide rail 362, so as to push the fixture module 1 connected to the first connecting plate 37 to follow and make a reciprocating motion along the first axial direction, that is, to generate vibration, thereby generating a vibration effect with a certain frequency on the whole row of objects 100 placed in the positioning groove body 11. Among them, when the rotating shaft of the first servo motor 31 rotates one week, the rocker 341 pushes the fixture module 1 to make 1 reciprocating motion along the first axial direction, and continuous alignment of the products can be realized.
[0049] In some embodiments, the crank 342 adopts a structure in which an eccentric circular wheel is sleeved on a circular shaft, and the diameter of the circular wheel is larger than the diameter of the circular shaft. One end of the circular shaft is coaxially connected to the second synchronous pulley 382, and the other end of the circular shaft is rotatably connected to the support seat 35. A circular hole matching the circular wheel is provided at one end of the rocker 341, and a connecting block assembly is installed on one side of the first connecting plate 37. The other end of the rocker 341 serves as a push rod and is hinged to the connecting portion 33 of the connecting block assembly.
[0050] As Figure 8 shown, the flipping sub-module 4 is provided with a second servo motor 41, a second transmission mechanism 42, a main shaft 43, a fixed seat 46, and a second connecting plate 45 connected in sequence.
[0051] Among them, the second transmission mechanism 42 includes a third synchronous pulley 421 and a fourth synchronous pulley 423, and a second synchronous belt 422 sleeved on the third synchronous pulley 421 and the fourth synchronous pulley 423. The third synchronous pulley 421 is connected to the rotating shaft of the second servo motor 41 and serves as the driving pulley, while the fourth synchronous pulley 423 serves as the driven pulley. The main shaft 43 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the fourth synchronous pulley 423, passes through the fourth synchronous pulley 423 along the first axial direction, and both ends of the main shaft 43 also respectively pass through one support bearing 44 and are rotationally matched with the support bearing 44. Two fixing seats 46 are respectively fixedly installed at both ends of the main shaft 43, and the second connecting plate 45 is installed and supported on the two fixing seats 46. The first servo motor 31 is installed on the second connecting plate 45 through the bracket 32, which can stabilize the first servo motor 31, prevent its deviation, and ensure the reliability of high-speed transmission; the support seat 35 and the linear guide 362 are also installed on the second connecting plate 45, thereby connecting the turning sub-module 4 and the vibration sub-module 3. The second servo motor 41 and the support bearing 44 are installed on the base 8, and support feet 81 are provided below the base 8. The support bearing 44 includes a bearing body and a bearing seat, and the bearing seat is used for installation and fixation with the base 8.
[0052] The second servo motor 41 is controlled to make its rotating shaft rotate in the forward and reverse directions within a certain angle range, which is used to drive the third synchronous pulley 421 to rotate synchronously, and drive the fourth synchronous pulley 423 to rotate through the second synchronous belt 422, and further drive the main shaft 43 coaxially connected to the fourth synchronous pulley 423 to rotate in the forward and reverse directions, so that the vibration sub-module 3 and the fixture module 1 supported and connected to the second connecting plate 45 follow to tilt back and forth around the first axial direction, that is, swing up and down at a corresponding angle in the second axial direction, so that the whole row of objects 100 placed in the positioning groove body 11, on the basis of the vibration effect brought by the vibration sub-module 3, are further under the swinging action brought by the turning sub-module 4, and are diffusely distributed in the positioning groove body 11, and are continuously arranged in each slot 171 on the carrier 17 in a certain order and at intervals.
[0053] In some embodiments, two sets of fixture modules 1 are arranged in parallel along the first axial direction. The vibration sub-module 3 is provided with two crank-rocker mechanisms 34 coaxially connected to the first transmission mechanism 38, and the two crank-rocker mechanisms 34 are used to respectively connect one first connecting plate 37 cooperatively arranged on the sliding mechanism 36. The two sets of fixture modules 1 are respectively connected to one first connecting plate 37 through the fixture bottom plates 13 provided thereon. In this way, the production increase effect can be further achieved.
[0054] For example, as Figure 6As shown, two first connecting plates 37 are disposed on the left and right sides of the second synchronous pulley 382 along the first axial direction. Two crank rocker mechanisms 34 share a circular shaft coaxially connected to the second synchronous pulley 382. The cranks 342 of the two crank rocker mechanisms 34 respectively adopt a structure of sleeving eccentric circular wheels on the circular shaft, but the eccentric directions of the eccentric circular wheels of the two crank rocker mechanisms 34 are arranged in opposite directions. The push rod of the rocker 341 of one of the crank rocker mechanisms 34 is hinged to the connecting portion 33 of the connecting block assembly on one of the first connecting plates 37 on the left side, and the push rod of the rocker 341 of the other crank rocker mechanism 34 is hinged to the connecting portion 33 of the connecting block assembly on one of the first connecting plates 37 on the right side. When the rotating shaft of the first servo motor 31 rotates, it can drive the rotation of a circular shaft shared by the two crank rocker mechanisms 34 through the same first transmission mechanism 38. When driving the eccentric rotation of the eccentric circular wheels of the two crank rocker mechanisms 34 respectively, the rockers 341 of the two crank rocker mechanisms 34 move horizontally in reciprocating motions towards the left and right sides, so that the two sets of jig modules 1 on the two first connecting plates 37 follow to generate vibrations. It can be understood that the eccentric directions of the eccentric circular wheels of the two crank rocker mechanisms 34 described above can also be arranged in the same direction or other ways.
[0055] Figure 7 Fig. shows the vibrator module 3 of another structural form. Different from Figure 6 , the linear guide rail 362 is replaced by a guide shaft 392, and the slider 361 is also replaced by a linear bearing 391 that slidably cooperates with the guide shaft 392, thus forming another sliding mechanism 39 different from Figure 6 . In addition, the guide shaft 392 is fixed to the second connecting plate 45 through a mounting block 393. The second synchronous pulley 382 is rotatably mounted on the support block 321, the support block 321 is fixed to the second connecting plate 45, and the first servo motor 31 is directly mounted on the second connecting plate 45. Other structures in this embodiment are the same as or similar to those in Figure 6 the embodiment.
[0056] Refer to Figures 1-5 . In some embodiments, the positioning groove body 11 is used to sequentially place two carriers 17 along the second axial direction. Each carrier 17 is elastically pressed independently in the positioning groove body 11 in the first axial direction through a first elastic pressing mechanism 15. At this time, the second elastic pressing mechanism 16 elastically presses the two carriers 17 in the second axial direction in the positioning groove body 11 in sequence. The operator correspondingly places the four carriers 17 into the two positioning groove bodies 11 on the two sets of jig modules 1, and the elastic pressing mechanism 14 presses the carrier 17 under the action of the spring 145. At this time, the product can be imported into the feeding bin 12 to start the device. Through alignment, the product can be quickly positioned to the predetermined positions of each slot 171.
[0057] In some embodiments, the shape of the carrier 17 is rectangular sheet-like. The first groove wall 111 to the fourth groove wall 114 enclose a rectangular positioning groove body 11, and the heights of the first groove wall 111 to the fourth groove wall 114 are appropriately higher than the surface of the placed carrier 17 to prevent the entire column of objects 100 from falling out of the positioning groove body 11 when shaking.
[0058] In some embodiments, the device is placed on the top surface of the frame structure of the rack 7. For example, the frame is welded by square tubes of 50×50 mm, the surface can be painted, and fixed casters 71 are used, which can effectively prevent the device from shaking during operation due to vibration or external force. A protective cover 9 is sleeved outside the vibration and flipping module 2, support feet 81 are provided below the base 8 of the device, and mounting seats 5 can also be provided on the top surfaces of the rack 7 on both sides of the base 8 for fastening with the base 8. These designs ensure the stability of the whole machine.
[0059] In some embodiments, an electric control box 6 is also accommodated in the rack 7. The electric control box 6 contains a controller as the core control component. The controller can adopt, for example, a PLC controller. The PLC controller is used to control the first servo motor 31 and the second servo motor 41, and is also equipped with a human-machine interface to facilitate the operator to adjust the motor parameters according to the actual situation.
[0060] Furthermore, the controller can control the rotation speed of the first servo motor 31 and the reciprocating rotation angle of the second servo motor 41. Among them, the rotation speed of the first servo motor 31 is controlled to be 2800 - 3200 revolutions per minute (i.e., the corresponding vibration frequency is 2800 - 3200 times per minute), preferably 3000 revolutions per minute (corresponding vibration frequency of 3000 times per minute). The reciprocating rotation angle of the second servo motor 41 is controlled to be 20 - 30 degrees, preferably 25 degrees. Thus, a higher vibration frequency and a larger swing angle of the jig module 1 are achieved.
[0061] When the utility model works, when an operator places the carrier 17 into the positioning groove 11 on the jig module 1 (the first groove wall 111 and the third groove wall 113 can be pushed outwards to place the carrier 17 and then released), the elastic pressing mechanism 14 functions accordingly. When the spring 145 is not under external force, it pushes the guide post 143 to move along the established track, and then drives the pressing plates 146 on the first elastic pressing mechanism 15 and the second elastic pressing mechanism 16 to push the first groove wall 111 and the third groove wall 113 against the carrier 17 respectively, realizing rapid pressing and positioning. Then, electronic components can be placed into the feeding bin 12. Subsequently, the control system is started, and the PLC controller controls the first servo motor 31 to rotate according to the preset program and the parameters of the human-machine interface, driving the first synchronous pulley 383 and the second synchronous pulley 382 to rotate, and driving the connected crank-rocker mechanism 34 to start moving. The crank-rocker mechanism 34 converts the rotational motion into the reciprocating linear motion of the first connecting plate 37, causing the jig module 1 to vibrate. During this process, at a certain time interval, the second servo motor 41 is controlled to rotate forward and backward, so that the jig module 1 swings up and down while performing the reciprocating linear motion, and the products are also aligned from disordered to ordered and then integrally guided into the slots 171 on the carrier 17. After continuous operation, all products can be neatly arranged.
[0062] The advantages of the utility model are as follows. Through the reciprocating motion and large-angle swing, a vibration effect is formed, enabling the micro-parts to be continuously aligned on the carrier 17 in a certain order and at intervals, saving time and improving efficiency. Through the elastic pressing mechanism 14 in the form of a non-positioning fixture, rapid pressing and positioning of the carrier 17 can be achieved. By installing the first servo motor 31 on the bracket 32, the first servo motor 31 during high-speed rotation can be stabilized, preventing its deviation and ensuring the reliability of the transmission.
[0063] Compared with the traditional manual placement, the device of the utility model can process thousands of micro-products simultaneously. From the verified data, when placing products manually in the past, the hourly output per person (UPH) was approximately 1000 pcs (about placing 5 carriers 17). When using the utility model, it only takes about 3 minutes to complete the alignment of the products on 4 carriers 17. The hourly output of a single device will be as high as approximately 10000 pcs, and the production capacity has increased by about 10 times. Therefore, the placement efficiency is greatly improved, and at the same time, the labor is reduced, thus significantly reducing the cost.
[0064] In summary, in the present utility model, by designing the jig module 1, a positioning groove body 11 is arranged on the jig module 1 to elastically clamp and position the carrier 17 placed therein. At the same time, a plurality of slots 171 distributed in an array are arranged on the surface of the carrier 17, and each slot 171 is used to accommodate a whole row of objects 100. The jig module 1 and the carrier 17 are driven by the vibration and flipping module 2 to reciprocate and reciprocally tilt, so that the tiny parts (the whole row of objects 100) placed in the positioning groove body 11 can be quickly and neatly introduced into the respective slots 171 on the carrier 17 at certain intervals and in a certain order, achieving the purpose of arranging the products from disorderly to orderly. Compared with the traditional time-consuming and laborious manual placement method, the present utility model has the great advantages of high speed and high efficiency, and becomes an ideal choice to replace manual operation.
[0065] Although the embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above, it is obvious to those skilled in the art that various modifications and changes can be made to these embodiments. However, it should be understood that such modifications and changes are all within the scope and spirit of the present utility model described in the claims. Moreover, the present utility model described herein may have other embodiments and can be implemented or realized in various ways.
