Detailed Description of the Invention
[0017] The present utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0018] Please refer to Figures 1-4A material transfer and flipping mechanism for SMT chip mounting processing as shown, including a workbench 1. A turntable is rotatably connected to the upper end of the workbench 1. A robotic arm 2 is arranged on the upper end of the turntable. An adjusting plate 20 is rotatably connected to the upper side of the robotic arm 2. A vacuum pump 21 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom end of the adjusting plate 20. The vacuum pump 21 includes a vacuum generator. By means of the vacuum pump 21, the suction cup 3 is in a vacuum state, thereby adsorbing the PCB board. The output end of the vacuum pump 21 is fixedly connected to a connecting pipe 22. A fixing sleeve is inserted into the connecting pipe 22, and the upper end of the fixing sleeve is fixedly connected to the suction cup 3. The inside of the suction cup 3 is hollow, and air holes are evenly arranged on the surface of the suction cup 3 in contact with the PCB board. A positioning rod 23 is threadedly connected to the fixing sleeve, and the positioning rod 23 is inserted into the connecting pipe 22. By removing the positioning rod 23, the suction cup 3 and the fixing sleeve can be separated. The connecting pipe 22 is internally connected to the suction cup 3. Limiting grooves 4 are opened on the upper end of the workbench 1 at four sides far away from each other. A bidirectional screw rod 5 is rotatably connected to the workbench 1 within the limiting grooves 4. By manually rotating the bidirectional screw rod 5, the moving plates 6 can move relatively, and the two rotating plates 8 can approach relatively. Moving plates 6 are threadedly connected to both sides far away from each other on the bidirectional screw rod 5. A driving motor is fixedly connected to one side of the moving plate 6, and the output end of the driving motor is fixedly connected to a connecting sleeve 7. A rotating plate 8 is arranged on one side of the connecting sleeve 7. Protrusions 9 are fixedly connected to both ends of the rotating plate 8. Through holes 10 are opened in the protrusions 9. A pull rod 11 is inserted into the through holes 10. A clamping plate 12 is fixedly connected to the pull rod 11 within the through holes 10. When the pull rod 11 is pulled or the triangular strips 14 are subjected to external forces, the four triangular strips 14 on the upper side can enter into the hidden grooves 15, and one side of the clamping plate 12 can contact a spring 13, and the spring 13 is sleeved on the pull rod 11. A triangular strip 14 is fixedly connected to one side of the pull rod 11.
[0019] Among them, the triangular strips 14 correspond to the hidden grooves 15. The hidden grooves 15 are located on the side opposite to the two protrusions 9. By providing the hidden grooves 15, the triangular strips 14 can be contracted into the hidden grooves 15.
[0020] Among them, an electric push rod 19 is fixedly connected to the workbench 1. The electric push rod 19 contacts the bottom side of the protrusion 9. By providing the electric push rod 19, support can be provided for the protrusion 9, so that when the triangular strips 14 limit the PCB board, stable contact can be achieved, thus facilitating processing.
[0021] Among them, the moving plate 6 contacts the support balls 16. The support balls 16 are rotatably embedded on the four sides of one end of the rotating plate 8. By providing the support balls 16, the stability between the rotating plate 8 and the moving plate 6 is increased, and the friction when the rotating plate 8 rotates is reduced.
[0022] Among them, a positioning bolt 18 is inserted into the fixing rod 17. The positioning bolt 18 is threadedly connected to the connecting sleeve 7. The connecting sleeve 7 is inserted with the fixing rod 17. The fixing rod 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the rotating plate 8. By removing the positioning bolt 18, the rotating plate 8 can be detached, and the rotating plate 8 and the protrusion 9 with a suitable PCB board width can be replaced.
[0023] Working principle: According to the size and diameter of the PCB board, the positioning bolt 18 and the positioning rod 23 can be removed, and the appropriate rotating plate 8 and protrusion 9 can be replaced. Then, the suction cup 3 with a suitable size can be replaced. Then, the robotic arm 2 is used to drive the suction cup 3 to adsorb the PCB board. Adjusting the bidirectional screw rod 5 can make the two relative moving plates 6 move relatively, and the distance between the two relative moving plates 6 corresponds to the length of the PCB board. Then, the PCB board is moved to one of the limiting grooves 4. Under the action of the robotic arm 2, the suction cup 3 and the PCB board are aligned with the triangular strip 14. At this time, the suction cup 3 continuously applies pressure to the upper triangular strip 14, and the upper triangular strip 14 enters the hidden groove 15. Then, the driving motor on the moving plate 6 can drive the connecting sleeve 7 and the fixing rod 17 to rotate, so as to perform flipping. And the PCB board contacts the bottom triangular strip 14. And by setting four groups, separate processing can be carried out, and it can cooperate with the suction cup 3 to be adsorbed from between one group of relative moving plates 6 to between another group of relative moving plates 6, so that the workbench 1 provides flipping and transfer for the processing of the PCB board, achieving flipping and clamping of PCB boards of different models and improving the processing efficiency.
