Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of PCBA burning equipment, and particularly relates to an intelligent device for PCBA burning test. Background Art

[0002] Printed circuit board, also known as printed circuit board and printed wiring board, is often abbreviated as PCB in English. PCBA is the abbreviation of English Printed Circuit Board Assembly, that is to say, the whole process of PCB bare board through SMT component mounting or DIP plug-in is abbreviated as PCBA. The existing technologies mainly include two methods: off-line burning and on-line burning. The main differences between them lie in their operation methods, costs, production processes and applicable scenarios. Off-line burning is suitable for scenarios with high requirements for safety and stability, such as large-scale burning or situations with large data volume and long burning time. On-line burning, through an automatic fixture cooperating with an on-line burning device, changes relevant test programs, but does not require replacing the burner to achieve the scenarios of quickly switching machine types and cost saving.

[0003] The current intelligent devices for PCBA burning test can basically meet people's usage requirements, but there are still some problems, which are specifically described as follows:

[0004] 1. The problem that it is difficult for the intelligent device for PCBA burning test to improve compatibility. The compatibility of the off-line and on-line burning modes in the existing technology is insufficient and cannot meet the needs of the development of the times. In some production scenarios, such as the burning of automotive electronics and medical electronic products, it is necessary to achieve the safety, stability and personalized requirements of off-line burning, and at the same time, it is necessary to achieve the requirements of quickly switching machine types, flexible and low-cost automated production.

[0030] Referring to the attached Figure 2 drawing and the attached Figure 5 As shown, the robot 702 and the gripper module 703 are used to carry the PCBA under test. The manipulator is installed on the middle support base 701 of the platform. The fourth axis is connected to the double-station gripper module 703. The purpose of the double-station is to improve the working efficiency of the manipulator. One set of grippers is for picking up materials. After rotation, the other set of grippers sends the untested materials in. The gripper module 703 is connected to the robot 702 through a flange and a connecting block. In order to reduce weight, grooves are dug in the relevant connecting blocks. An integrated vacuum system one-way valve is adopted, which has functions such as vacuum generation, breaking, and vacuum-preserving one-way valve, on-off, and pressure switch. The vacuum system valve is connected to the suction cup. The suction cup is equipped with a buffer rod and is made of ESD material and can be quickly replaced.

[0031] On one side of the top of the workbench 5, a flipping mechanism 11 is installed.

On one side of the rotating cylinder 1106, a carrier plate module 1102 is installed. At one end of the carrier plate module 1102, a solenoid valve 1101 is provided. At one end of the support frame 1103, a hub 1104 is installed.

[0032] Referring to the attached Figures 2-3 As shown, the flipping module mainly consists of a bottom plate, a carrier plate module 1102, three groups of cylinders, a lifting cylinder 1105, a rotating cylinder 1106, a finger cylinder 1107, and its control solenoid valve 1101, pneumatic accessories such as speed control valves, air pipes, etc., and a hub 1104. Its function is to turn over the tested PCBA. The execution action is that the robot 702 places the PCBA on the carrier plate, then the finger cylinder 1107 clamps the PCBA, then it is lifted to a high position and rotated 180 degrees, and finally lowered. The PCBA falls onto the carrier plate module 1102 again. The clever part is that the carrier plate module 1102 can adapt to the placement of the TOP and BOTTOM surfaces of the PCBA. The key point is that the position of clamping the PCBA should consider the center of gravity, and a silicone with a hardness of 50 - 60A is pasted on the contact area to ensure that the PCBA can be clamped without deforming the PCBA. The carrier plate is made of all-antistatic fiberboard, with adjustable guiding L-shaped blocks installed at the four corners and support PINs at the bottom.

There is a sensor in the middle to sense whether there is a tray 601. On both sides are double-axis cylinders 606. Combined with guide shafts and flange-type linear bearings, the tray is lifted and lowered. The secondary positioning module plays a role in transfer positioning and buffering. It overcomes the position deviation caused by the relative position accuracy between the corresponding slots of the PCBA in the tray 601 and the robot 702 grasping the PCBA.
