Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of PCB board manufacturing, in particular to an automatic board collecting mechanism for PCB boards. Background Art

[0002] A PCB, or printed circuit board, is a carrier used to connect and secure electronic components. It combines electronic components, wires, pads, and other components. To achieve electrical interconnection between components, a printed circuit board is required. PCBs are an indispensable component in the electronics industry. In the PCB manufacturing process, after the circuit is printed, the PCBs need to be neatly stored in a PCB receiving frame to facilitate their use in the next process.

[0003] In the automated PCB production process, printed PCBs are stacked using vacuum suction cups equipped with robotic arms. However, the traditional sequential stacking method can cause the bottom PCBs to deform or become damaged due to the weight of the upper PCBs, impacting the integrity of the PCBs and the quality of subsequent processing.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, this application proposes an automatic board collecting mechanism for PCB boards. Utility Model Content

An opening connected to the unloading channel in the material guide cover is provided in the unloading frame. A pushing piece is installed in the unloading frame for pushing the plate into the opening and switching it to a vertical state to fall.

[0010] Preferably, the pushing member includes a pushing plate, a fixed plate and an electric push rod. An inclined pushing plate is provided in the blanking frame, and the pushing plate is inclined from the conveyor belt side to the opening side.

[0020] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that these descriptions are merely illustrative and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention. Furthermore, descriptions of known structures and technologies are omitted in the following description to avoid unnecessary confusion regarding the concepts of the present invention.

[0021] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the utility model proposes an automatic board collecting mechanism for PCB boards, comprising a conveyor belt 1;

[0022] In this embodiment, a blanking assembly 2 is installed at the bottom of the discharge end of the conveyor belt 1. The blanking assembly 2 is used to switch the plate from a horizontal state to a vertical state and drop it. The blanking assembly 2 includes a blanking frame 21, a guide cover shell 22, an opening 23 and a pushing piece 24. The blanking frame 21 is installed at the bottom of the discharge end of the conveyor belt 1. The bottom of the blanking frame 21 is away from the conveyor belt 1. A guide cover shell 22 is installed at the bottom. A through blanking channel is provided in the guide cover shell 22. An opening 23 is provided in the blanking frame 21 that is connected to the blanking channel in the guide cover shell 22. A member for pushing the plate to the The opening 23 is switched to a vertical state and the pushing piece 24 falls. The pushing piece 24 includes a pushing plate 241, a fixed plate 242 and an electric push rod 243. An inclined pushing plate 241 is provided in the blanking frame 21. The pushing plate 241 is inclined from the side of the conveyor belt 1 to the side of the opening 23. The two sides of the bottom of the pushing plate 241 are rotatably connected to the inner walls of the two sides of the blanking frame 21 respectively. A fixed plate 242 is installed at the end of the blanking frame 21. The electric push rod 243 is hinged on the fixed plate 242. The driving end of the electric push rod 243 passes through the blanking frame 21 and is hinged to the back of the pushing plate 241.

[0023] In this embodiment, a base 3 is provided below the blanking component 2, an insertion channel is opened in the middle of the base 3, and an arrangement driver 4 is inserted in the insertion channel. The arrangement driver 4 includes a movable seat 41, an electric slide rail 42, a bearing strip 43 and a roller 44. The movable seat 41 is inserted in the insertion channel, an electric slide rail 42 is installed on the movable seat 41, and a bearing strip 43 is installed on the electric slide rail 42. Several plate receiving buffers 5 are installed at intervals on the bearing strip 43, and a roller 44 is installed at the bottom of the movable seat 41.

[0024] In this embodiment, a plurality of spaced-apart plate receiving buffers 5 are installed on the arrangement driver 4. The plurality of plate receiving buffers 5 are driven by the arrangement driver 4 to move back and forth laterally, and the plate receiving buffers 5 are used to receive the plates falling from the blanking assembly 2. The plate receiving buffers 5 include a U-shaped plate receiving frame 51 and a rubber pad 52. A plurality of spaced-apart U-shaped plate receiving frames 51 are installed on the supporting strip 43. A receiving channel is formed in the U-shaped plate receiving frame 51, and a rubber pad 52 is installed at the bottom of the receiving channel.

[0025] It should be noted that the PCB boards placed on the conveyor belt 1 can be sequentially conveyed to the blanking assembly 2. The PCB boards in the blanking assembly 2 can be switched from a horizontal state to a vertical state and dropped. Specifically, after the board is conveyed by the conveyor belt 1 to the blanking frame 21, the board tilts and falls to the surface of the push plate 241. The push plate 241 can be driven gradually vertically by the electric push rod 243. The board on the push plate 241 can be pushed to a vertical state and enter the opening 23. It falls vertically through the guide cover 22 and can then be driven by the electric slide rail 42 to support the board. The carrying strip 43 moves laterally, so that the U-shaped plate receiving frame 51 on the carrying strip 43 can be moved to the position below the material guide cover shell 22 in sequence, so that the PCB boards fall into the storage channels in several U-shaped plate receiving frames 51 in sequence. This structure adopts automatic stacking technology. By switching the PCB boards from a horizontal state to a vertical state for stacking, direct stacking between the boards is avoided, and the risk of deformation caused by gravity is reduced. At the same time, the use of the board receiving buffer 5 for storage can provide independent support for each PCB board, further protecting the boards from damage.

[0026] Specifically, when the PCB board falls into the receiving channel in the U-shaped receiving frame 51, the rubber pad 52 in the U-shaped receiving frame 51 can cushion the PCB board falling therein, thereby playing a certain protective role for the falling PCB board.

[0027] In a specific embodiment, when all the PCB boards are stored in the U-shaped board receiving frame 51, the movable seat 41 can be pushed so that the roller 44 at the bottom of the movable seat 41 rolls on the ground, and the movable seat 41 can be pulled out from the insertion channel opened in the middle of the base 3, so as to facilitate the transportation of the stored boards.

[0028] It should be understood that the above-described specific embodiments of the present invention are merely illustrative of or explanation of the principles of the present invention and do not constitute limitations of the present invention. Therefore, any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention shall be included within the scope of protection of the present invention. In addition, the appended claims of the present invention are intended to cover all variations and modifications that fall within the scope and metes and bounds of the appended claims, or equivalents thereof.
