Description

Technical field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of semi-finished product detection equipment, and in particular to a streamline positioning device. [Background Technology]

[0002] In automated production, the transfer and positioning accuracy of semi-finished products is crucial to the production efficiency and product quality of subsequent processes. This is especially true for precision electronics and surface-sensitive components (such as semi-finished PCBs), where accurate positioning is essential for smooth subsequent pick-up and flipping operations. Failure to accurately position the semi-finished product before pick-up can lead to deviation, damage, or instability during subsequent operations, compromising product quality and production efficiency.

[0003] However, existing positioning devices typically only position semi-finished products in a single direction, which presents significant limitations in complex production processes. Since automated production lines typically require precise multi-directional positioning of semi-finished products to accommodate the needs of different operational links, the inadequacy of single-direction positioning can lead to numerous problems during the suction and flipping processes. For example, during the suction operation, the semi-finished product may shift or slide due to inadequate lateral or axial positioning. During the flipping process, a semi-finished product that is not adequately positioned may lose stability during flipping, resulting in surface damage or operational failure. Therefore, to address the aforementioned deficiencies in the existing technology, there is an urgent need for a streamlined positioning device capable of high-precision positioning in multiple directions. [Utility Model Content]

For example, a process, method, system, product, or apparatus comprising a series of steps or elements is not limited to the listed steps or elements but may optionally include steps or elements not listed, or may optionally include other steps or elements inherent to the process, method, product, or apparatus.

[0029] References herein to "embodiments" mean that a particular feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with the embodiments may be included in at least one embodiment of the present application. The appearance of this phrase in various places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it constitute an independent or alternative embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments. It is understood, both explicitly and implicitly, by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein may be combined with other embodiments.

[0030] The streamlined positioning device of the present application is primarily used in semi-finished product inspection equipment, particularly in automated production lines requiring high-precision transmission and positioning. This solution, through the multi-stage coordinated design of streamlined tracks and first, second, and third positioning devices, enables precise positioning of semi-finished products in multiple directions, ensuring they are precisely positioned at the desired location before entering the suction and flipping operations. This reduces subsequent product deviation and instability caused by inaccurate positioning, thereby improving the operational stability and production efficiency of automated production lines.

[0031] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a streamline positioning device according to an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 The streamline positioning device is used in semi-finished product detection equipment, including a streamline track 100 and a positioning device 200. The streamline track 100 is used to transport the semi-finished product to a set position, and the positioning device 200 is used to fix the semi-finished product at the set position and provide axial and lateral positioning support to ensure the stability and accuracy of the semi-finished product in subsequent processing.

[0032] See Figure 2 , Figure 2 yes Figure 1Schematic diagram of the partial internal structure of the streamline positioning device. As shown in the figure, the positioning device 200 includes a first positioning device 210, a second positioning device 220 and a third positioning device 230. Among them, the first positioning device 210 is arranged on one side of the streamline track 100, and is used to intercept and fix the semi-finished product when it is transferred to the set position, ensuring that the semi-finished product can be stable in the set position when it arrives. The second positioning device 220 and the first positioning device 210 are located on the same side of the streamline track 100, and cooperate with the first positioning device 210 to axially position the semi-finished product along the transmission direction of the streamline track 100, thereby enhancing the accuracy of the axial positioning of the semi-finished product. The third positioning device 230 is arranged on the other side of the streamline track 100, and performs lateral positioning of the semi-finished product in a direction perpendicular to the streamline track 100, further ensuring the positioning accuracy and stability of the semi-finished product in all directions.

[0033] This embodiment, by installing first, second, and third positioning devices on the streamlined track, achieves multi-directional, precise positioning of semi-finished products. This effectively reduces subsequent operational issues caused by inaccurate positioning, improving the operational stability and production efficiency of the automated production line. Because the semi-finished products are precisely positioned before entering the suction and flipping operations, the quality control risks caused by positioning errors are significantly reduced, improving the overall accuracy and reliability of the production process.

[0034] In some embodiments, the first positioning device 210 includes a first cylinder 211. The first cylinder rises vertically when the semi-finished product reaches a set position, securing the semi-finished product there and preventing it from shifting due to vibration or inertia after reaching the set position. The second positioning device 220 includes a second cylinder 221 and a horizontal movement assembly 222. The second cylinder 221 is mounted on the horizontal movement assembly 222. After the first cylinder 211 intercepts and secures the semi-finished product, the second cylinder 221 rises vertically and, under the action of the horizontal movement assembly 222, moves horizontally along the transport direction of the streamlined track 100 to axially clamp the semi-finished product, ensuring stable positioning in the transport direction and reducing operational errors that may be caused by semi-finished product movement. The third positioning device 230 includes a third cylinder 231. After the second positioning device 220 completes axial positioning of the semi-finished product, the third cylinder 231 moves perpendicular to the streamlined track 100 to lateral clamp the semi-finished product and prevent any lateral movement or shifting of the semi-finished product during the production process. Through axial clamping and lateral clamping, the positioning of the semi-finished product in two directions is completely locked. This double fixing mechanism (axial and lateral) ensures the stability of the semi-finished product throughout the production process.

[0035] In some embodiments, the horizontal movement assembly 222 includes a slide rail and a drive device. The slide rail is used to guide the second cylinder 221 in horizontal axial movement, and the drive device is used to drive the second cylinder 221 in horizontal axial movement. The drive device can be an electric motor. The arrangement of the slide rail and the drive device in the horizontal movement assembly 222 can achieve precise guidance and control of the horizontal axis of the second cylinder 221, enabling the cylinder to move in a more stable manner in the horizontal axis.

[0036] In some embodiments, the first cylinder 221 and the second cylinder 222 are both configured as pneumatic push cylinders, and the third cylinder is configured as a single-acting spring return cylinder 223. By configuring the first cylinder 221 and the second cylinder 222 as pneumatic push cylinders, a controllable clamping force can be provided during the positioning process, ensuring accurate interception and axial positioning of the semi-finished product. Using a single-acting spring return cylinder as the third cylinder 223 can achieve a simple automatic reset function, reducing energy consumption and improving operational reliability. In addition, in some embodiments, the surfaces of the first cylinder 221, the second cylinder 222, and the third cylinder 223 that are in contact with the semi-finished product are all provided with elastomeric gaskets to absorb the vibration and impact generated when the cylinders come into contact with the semi-finished product, thereby reducing physical damage to the surface of the semi-finished product.

[0037] To improve positioning accuracy, in some embodiments, the streamline positioning device further includes a photoelectric sensor 240. This sensor is used to detect the transport position of the semi-finished product in real time and trigger the first cylinder 221 to rise when the semi-finished product reaches the set position. Detection by the photoelectric sensor 240 ensures that the semi-finished product is identified at the precise time and position, reducing operational errors caused by positional errors and enhancing the reliability and accuracy of positioning.

[0038] In some embodiments, the streamlined positioning device also includes a suction cup device, which is installed in the flipping mechanism of the semi-finished product inspection equipment. The suction cup device uses airflow to generate suction, effectively grasping the positioned semi-finished product. Grasping the positioned semi-finished product with the suction cup device effectively avoids surface wear or damage caused by physical clamping in conventional techniques. This non-contact gripping method, particularly for precision electronic components or surface-sensitive materials, effectively reduces damage during operation and ensures product quality.

[0039] In summary, the streamline positioning device provided in the embodiment of the present application realizes the precise positioning of the semi-finished product in multiple directions through the multi-stage positioning device, ensures its accuracy in the set position, and reduces the product deviation caused by inaccurate positioning. The multi-stage positioning device cooperates with the streamline track to improve the automation level of the production process and ensure the efficient and stable transmission and positioning of the semi-finished products. At the same time, the application of elastomeric gaskets and non-contact suction cup devices effectively reduces physical damage to the surface of the semi-finished product and ensures the quality and integrity of the product. The device is particularly suitable for automated production lines with high requirements for precision and quality, such as electronic manufacturing and semiconductor testing, and can meet the needs of high-demand production environments.

[0040] Although the present application has been described in detail above using general descriptions and specific embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications or improvements may be made based on the present application. Therefore, such modifications or improvements, which do not depart from the spirit of the present application, are within the scope of protection claimed in the present application.
