[0041] Embodiment 1
[0042] In view of the defects existing in the above-mentioned prior art, based on the rich practical experience and professional knowledge accumulated by the applicant in the design and manufacture of such products for many years, and in cooperation with the application of theory, the applicant has actively carried out research and innovation in the hope of creating a technology that can solve the defects in the prior art. After continuous research, design, and repeated trial production of samples and improvement, the applicant finally created the present utility model with practical value.
[0043] Please refer to Figure 1-2 , the embodiment of the present utility model provides a PIN foot lifting mechanism, which includes an upper clip 1, a lower clip 2, and a driving module 3;
[0044] The upper clip 1 and the lower clip 2 are arranged up and down;
[0045] The driving module 3 is used to drive the upper clip 1 and the lower clip 2 to approach or move away from each other, so as to clamp and drive the PIN foot to lift.
[0046] It should be noted that the structure of the PIN foot lifting mechanism provided in this embodiment is delicate and has comprehensive functions, significantly improving the welding efficiency and quality. Specifically, the PIN foot lifting mechanism includes an upper clip 1, a lower clip 2, and a driving module 3.
[0047] The upper clip 1 and the lower clip 2 are arranged up and down, and the driving of the driving module 3 is used to realize the action of approaching or moving away from each other. This design enables the upper clip 1 and the lower clip 2 to cooperate closely, precisely clamp the PIN foot, and drive it to perform a lifting action.
[0048] The operation process of the PIN foot lifting mechanism: After the product is placed on the horizontal welding platform, first, the flipping table flips the product downward by 90 degrees to make the product perpendicular to the PIN foot. Then, the upper clip 1 and the lower clip 2 of the PIN foot lifting mechanism are in an open state under the driving of the driving module 3 to facilitate inserting into the gap between the solder pad and the product. Then, the lower clip 2 is placed under the PIN foot and close to the root, and the lower clip 2 performs an upward diagonal lifting movement towards the solder pad, while the upper clip 1 moves downward, jointly realizing the clamping action to prevent the PIN foot from slipping and rebounding, thereby realizing the PIN foot lifting.
[0049] It is worth noting that the entire process is automated and does not require manual intervention, thereby greatly improving the work efficiency. At the same time, since the lifting process is precisely controlled by the mechanism, damage caused by human factors is avoided, ensuring the integrity and stability of the PIN foot.
[0050] In addition, the device also fully considers the requirements and characteristics of welding. By precisely controlling the height and angle of the upward pick, the accuracy and consistency of welding are ensured, thereby improving the welding effect. This not only provides a strong guarantee for the stability and reliability of the display module but also lays a solid foundation for the smooth progress of subsequent processes.
[0051] In summary, the PIN - foot upward - pick mechanism provided in this embodiment realizes the efficient and non - destructive upward pick and precise welding of PIN feet through a delicate structural design and an automated working method, providing strong support for the production and manufacturing of modern electronic products.
[0052] In this embodiment, the drive module 3 includes a first drive module;
[0053] The first drive module is connected to the upper clip 1 and is used to drive the upper clip 1 to move closer to or away from the lower clip 2;
[0054] Or, the drive module 3 includes a second drive module;
[0055] The second drive module is connected to the lower clip 2 and is used to drive the lower clip 2 to move closer to or away from the upper clip 1;
[0056] Or, the drive module 3 includes a first drive module and a second drive module;
[0057] The first drive module is connected to the upper clip 1 and is used to drive the upper clip 1 to move closer to or away from the lower clip 2;
[0058] The second drive module is connected to the lower clip 2 and is used to drive the lower clip 2 to move closer to or away from the upper clip 1.
[0059] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the drive module 3 has multiple configuration methods to meet different working requirements and scenarios.
[0060] For the first of the multiple configuration methods, the drive module 3 can only include the first drive module. This first drive module is connected to the upper clip 1 and is responsible for driving the upper clip 1 to move closer to or away from the lower clip 2. This configuration method is applicable to the situation where the upper clip 1 needs to actively clamp or release the PIN foot.
[0061] For the second of the multiple configuration methods, the drive module 3 can also only include the second drive module. In this case, the second drive module is connected to the lower clip 2 and is used to drive the lower clip 2 to move closer to or away from the upper clip 1. This configuration is applicable to the situation where the lower clip 2 needs to actively clamp or release the PIN foot.
[0062] For the third type of multiple configuration methods, the driving module 3 may further include a first driving module and a second driving module. In this way, the first driving module is connected to the upper clip 1 and is responsible for driving the upper clip 1 to move closer to or away from the lower clip 2; while the second driving module is connected to the lower clip 2 and is used to drive the lower clip 2 to move closer to or away from the upper clip 1. This configuration method is applicable to the situation where both the upper clip 1 and the lower clip 2 need to work together to clamp or release the PIN pins, and can achieve more precise and flexible control.
[0063] Through these different configuration methods, the driving module 3 in this embodiment can be flexibly adjusted according to actual needs to adapt to different working scenarios and welding requirements. This not only improves the adaptability and flexibility of the device, but also further improves the efficiency and precision of welding, providing strong support for the production and manufacturing of electronic products.
[0064] Please refer to again Figure 1 , in this embodiment, the upper clip 1 includes an upper clip fixing member 11 and an upper clip body 12;
[0065] The upper clip body 12 is arranged on the upper clip fixing member 11.
[0066] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the structure of the upper clip 1 is further refined and clarified to improve its stability and reliability. Specifically, the upper clip 1 includes an upper clip fixing member 11 and an upper clip body 12.
[0067] The upper clip fixing member 11, as the supporting part of the upper clip 1, is responsible for stably fixing the upper clip 1 on the welding device to ensure that it will not displace or shake during the working process. At the same time, the upper clip fixing member 11 also provides a basis for the installation and positioning of the upper clip body 12.
[0068] The upper clip body 12 is the working part of the upper clip 1 and is responsible for directly contacting the PIN pin and completing the clamping and lifting actions. To improve the precision and stability of the lifting, the upper clip body 12 is designed to match the shape and size of the PIN pin to ensure that it can closely fit the PIN pin during the clamping process to prevent it from slipping or falling off.
[0069] By dividing the upper clip 1 into two parts, namely the upper clip fixing member 11 and the upper clip body 12, it not only facilitates the installation and maintenance of the upper clip 1, but also improves its overall stability and reliability. This design enables the upper clip 1 to better adapt to different working environments and welding requirements, providing strong support for the production and manufacturing of electronic products.
[0070] Please refer to again Figure 1 , in this embodiment, the lower clip 2 includes a lower clip fixing member 21 and a lower clip body 22;
[0071] The lower clip body 22 is arranged on the lower clip fixing member 21.
[0072] Preferably, an anti - detachment hook portion 23 is arranged at one end of the lower clip body 22 away from the lower clip fixing member.
[0073] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the structure of the lower clip 2 is also carefully designed to ensure its stability and reliability. Specifically, the lower clip 2 includes a lower clip fixing member 21 and a lower clip body 22.
[0074] The lower clip fixing member 21, as the supporting part of the lower clip 2, is responsible for stably fixing the lower clip 2 on the welding equipment to ensure that it will not displace or shake during the working process. At the same time, the lower clip fixing member 21 also provides a basis for the installation and positioning of the lower clip body 22.
[0075] The lower clip body 22 is the working part of the lower clip 2, which is responsible for directly contacting the PIN foot and completing the clamping and lifting actions. In order to improve the reliability and stability of clamping, the lower clip body 22 is designed into a structure that matches the shape and size of the PIN foot to ensure that it can closely fit the PIN foot during the clamping process and prevent it from slipping or falling off.
[0076] Preferably, in order to further improve the stability and reliability of clamping, an anti - detachment hook portion 23 is arranged at one end of the lower clip body 22 away from the lower clip fixing member 21. The design of the anti - detachment hook portion 23 can increase the block between the lower clip body 22 and the PIN foot, thereby preventing the PIN foot from slipping out of the lower clip body 22 during the upward lifting of the PIN foot.
[0077] By dividing the lower clip 2 into two parts, namely the lower clip fixing member 21 and the lower clip body 22, it not only facilitates the installation and maintenance of the lower clip 2, but also improves its overall stability and reliability. This design enables the lower clip 2 to better adapt to different working environments and welding requirements, providing strong support for the production and manufacturing of electronic products.
[0078] Please refer to again Figure 2 , in this embodiment, the PIN foot lifting mechanism further includes a displacement adjustment module 4;
[0079] The upper clip 1, the lower clip 2 and the driving module 3 are all arranged on the displacement adjustment module 4.
[0080] Preferably, the displacement adjustment module 4 is a three - axis displacement adjustment module.
[0081] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the PIN foot lifting mechanism is further equipped with a displacement adjustment module 4 to enhance its flexibility and accuracy. The upper clip 1, the lower clip 2, and the driving module 3 are all arranged on the displacement adjustment module 4, which means that the entire lifting mechanism can be precisely adjusted in position through the displacement adjustment module 4.
[0082] Preferably, the displacement adjustment module 4 is a three-axis displacement adjustment module, which can perform fine adjustment in three directions of X, Y, and Z. This design enables the lifting mechanism to more accurately locate the PIN foot to be welded, ensuring the accuracy and consistency of welding.
[0083] By introducing the displacement adjustment module 4, the PIN foot lifting mechanism of this embodiment can not only work at a fixed position, but also be flexibly adjusted in position according to actual needs. This not only improves the welding efficiency and accuracy, but also enables the mechanism to adapt to more types and more complex welding tasks, providing strong support for the production and manufacturing of modern electronic products.
[0084] Although terms such as upper clip, lower clip, driving module, and displacement adjustment module are used more frequently in this application, the possibility of using other terms is not excluded. Using these terms is only to more conveniently describe and explain the essence of the present utility model; interpreting them as any additional limitation is contrary to the spirit of the present utility model.
[0085] A PIN foot lifting mechanism provided by the present utility model includes an upper clip, a lower clip, and a driving module. The driving module drives the upper clip and the lower clip arranged up and down to approach or move away from each other, so that the PIN foot can be clamped and lifted by the cooperation of the upper clip and the lower clip. The whole process does not require manual intervention, the efficiency is improved, and it is not easy to damage the PIN foot, ensuring the smooth progress of welding, ensuring the welding effect, and providing strong guarantee for the stability and reliability of the entire display module.

[0087] Please refer to Figure 3 , an embodiment of the present utility model provides a PIN foot welding device, which includes a welding mechanism 100 and the PIN foot lifting mechanism 200 as described in the above Embodiment 1.
[0088] It should be noted that by effectively combining the welding mechanism 100 with the PIN foot lifting mechanism 200, the device can achieve efficient and precise PIN foot welding operations.
[0089] The welding mechanism 100 is the core part responsible for performing welding tasks. It has high-quality welding capabilities and stability to ensure the quality and reliability of the welding points. The PIN foot lifting mechanism 200 is responsible for precisely lifting the PIN feet before welding to ensure the correct position and posture of the PIN feet, providing the best welding conditions for the welding mechanism 100.
[0090] A PIN foot welding device provided by the present utility model includes an upper clip, a lower clip, and a driving module. The driving module drives the upper clip and the lower clip arranged up and down to approach or move away from each other, so that the PIN feet can be clamped and driven to lift by the cooperation of the upper clip and the lower clip.
