[0038] The following describes embodiments of the present invention in detail. Examples of the embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, wherein the same or similar reference numerals throughout represent the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended only to explain the present invention and are not to be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0039] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, this embodiment provides a test board assembly device for automatically installing a test board 1000 into a main board 2000, thereby improving assembly efficiency and accuracy and reducing labor intensity. The test board assembly equipment includes a rack 100, an assembly mechanism 200, a storage mechanism 300 and a robotic arm 400, wherein the assembly mechanism 200 has an assembly table 210, a ballast component 220 and an assembly component 230, the assembly table 210 can hold the mainboard 2000 and the test board 1000, the ballast component 220 is arranged on the assembly table 210, and its ballast end can ballast the mainboard 2000, the output end of the assembly component 230 can push the test board 1000 to be plugged into the plug slot of the mainboard 2000 to form a finished product; the storage mechanism 300 is arranged on the rack 100, the storage mechanism 300 is used to supply a carrier carrying the mainboard 2000, and is used to receive a carrier carrying the finished product; the robotic arm 400 is arranged on the rack 100, and is used to move the mainboard 2000 from the storage mechanism 300 to the assembly table 210 and move the finished product from the assembly table 210 to the storage mechanism 300.

[0040] In the above setting, the transfer of the main board 2000 is completed by the robot arm 400, which can greatly reduce the labor intensity of the staff; under the pushing action of the output end of the assembly component 230, the test board 1000 is installed on the main board 2000, and the installation accuracy can be effectively guaranteed, which reduces the probability of damage to the test board 1000 and the main board 2000, and at the same time, makes the connection between the test board 1000 and the main board 2000 good, which is conducive to ensuring the accuracy of subsequent test results, ensuring that the defective rate of the main board 2000 is real data, and reducing the waste caused by false reporting.

[0041] In some embodiments, the ballast assembly 220 includes a crimping drive 221 and a crimping member 222. The crimping drive 221 is provided on the assembly table 210, and its output end can rotate around its own axis. The crimping member 222 is provided at the output end of the crimping drive 221 and can move between a crimping position and an avoidance position. The crimping member 222 in the crimping position can crimp the mainboard 2000, and the crimping member 222 in the avoidance position is located outside the path of the mainboard 2000 moving out of the assembly table 210.

[0042] To prevent the motherboard 2000 from being cracked due to excessive pressure, in some embodiments, the ballast assembly 220 further includes a compression buffer 223. The compression buffer 223 is disposed on the compression member 222. When the compression member 222 is in the compression position, the motherboard 2000 is sandwiched between the compression buffer 223 and the assembly platform 210. The compression buffer 223 can be made of rubber or foam.

[0043] At least two compression buffers 223 are provided. The test board 1000 can be inserted into the insertion slot of the motherboard 2000 along the width direction of the motherboard 2000. At least two compression buffers 223 are provided on either side of the insertion slot along the length direction of the motherboard 2000. This provides pressure on the motherboard 2000, minimizing warping and other deformation of the motherboard 2000 in the insertion slot, thereby ensuring smooth insertion of the test board 1000 into the insertion slot. The width direction of the motherboard 2000 is the front-to-back direction, and the length direction of the motherboard 2000 is the left-to-right direction.

[0044] Furthermore, the assembly platform 210 is provided with a stopper 211. The assembly assembly 230 includes an assembly driver 232 and an assembly member 231. The output end of the assembly driver 232 is capable of reciprocating in a direction toward and away from the stopper 211 and is in transmission connection with the assembly member 231. The output end of the assembly driver 232 is capable of reciprocating in a forward and backward direction. The assembly member 231 is arranged to push the test board 1000 against the stopper 211 when it approaches the stopper 211, allowing it to be plugged into the socket of the mainboard 2000. This arrangement ensures the stability of the mainboard 2000 during the plugging process, preventing deformation of the mainboard 2000 that could result in plugging failure, and ensuring a successful assembly.

[0045] To facilitate placement of the motherboard 2000 , in some embodiments, the assembly platform 210 is provided with an upwardly opening receiving groove for receiving the motherboard 2000 , and a side wall of the receiving groove away from the assembly part 231 forms a stopper 211 .

[0046] Furthermore, the assembly platform 210 is provided with at least two positioning protrusions 212 at the bottom of the receiving groove. The two positioning protrusions 212 are spaced apart along the length of the motherboard 2000 and respectively engage with two positioning holes in the motherboard 2000. This arrangement allows for a more precise fit between the motherboard 2000 and the assembly platform 210, and the machining accuracy of the positioning protrusions 212 is more easily ensured, resulting in lower manufacturing costs.

[0047] To improve assembly efficiency, the assembly mechanism 200 further includes a feed box 240 and a pickup assembly 250. The feed box 240 is used to carry the test board 1000, and the pickup assembly 250 is used to move the test board 1000 from the feed box 240 to the assembly table 210 so that the assembly assembly 230 can push it into the socket of the main board 2000. This arrangement allows the supply of the test board 1000 to be automated, improving work efficiency while reducing the labor of the staff. The feed box 240 is arranged on the assembly table 210, and a feed channel is provided at the bottom. The material lifting drive member 241 is arranged on the assembly table 210, and its output end is inserted into the feed channel and can move back and forth in the up and down directions, so that the height of the test board 1000 on the top layer in the feed box 240 remains unchanged, which is convenient for the pickup assembly 250 to pick up.

[0048] In other embodiments, to facilitate the contact between the assembly 231 and the test board 1000, two guide blocks 213 are provided on the rear side of the assembly table 210, spaced apart in the left-right direction. The top of the guide block 213 forms a support surface 2131, which extends upward to form a guide wall. The opposing surfaces of the two guide walls form two guide surfaces 2132. The two guide surfaces 2132 are spaced apart in the left-right direction. The support surface 2131 is used to support the test board 1000, and the guide surfaces 2132 are used to guide the test board 1000. When the assembly 231 is pushed forward, the test board 1000 is guided by the two guide surfaces 2132, allowing it to enter the socket more accurately.

[0049] A limiting surface 2133 is provided on the rear side of the support surface 2131 to limit the rear end position of the test board 1000. When the crimping member 222 crimps the main board 2000, it presses against the top of the guide wall. The crimping member 222, the support surface 2131, and the guide surface 2132 form a guide channel to guide the test board 1000.

[0050] The picking assembly 250 includes a picking drive 251, a picking lift 252 and a picking member 253; wherein, the picking drive 251 is arranged on the assembly table 210, and its output end can move back and forth in the left and right directions and is connected to the picking lift 252, and the output end of the picking lift 252 can move back and forth in the up and down directions and is connected to the picking member 253.

[0051] In some embodiments, the storage mechanism 300 includes a supply bracket 310 and a material picking assembly 320. The supply bracket 310 is provided with a supply bin 311 and a receiving bin 312. The material picking assembly 320 includes a material picking drive 321, a lifting drive 322 and a lifting member 323. The output end of the material picking drive 321 can move between the supply bin 311, the receiving bin 312 and the supply position, and is transmission-connected to the lifting drive 322. The output end of the lifting drive 322 can move back and forth in the vertical direction, and is transmission-connected to the lifting member 323. During use, the material retrieving drive 321 moves the lifting drive 322 and lifting member 323 to the feeding bin 311. The lifting drive 322 then actuates, causing the lifting member 323 to lift the carrier carrying the motherboard 2000 in the feeding bin 311. Driven by the supporting drive 332, the supporting member 331 on the side wall of the feeding bin 311 retracts, causing the lifting member 323 to descend. The supporting member 331 then extends and blocks the second carrier moving upward from below. Under the action of the material retrieving drive 321, the carrier is moved to the feeding position. The robotic arm 400 can absorb the motherboard 2000 from the carrier at the feeding position and move it to the assembly table 210. The vertical direction is the up-down direction.

[0052] It should be noted that the robotic arm 400 can place the finished products in a carrier located at the feeding position. When the carrier located at the feeding position is full of finished products, the carrier is placed in the receiving bin 312 under the action of the material taking component 320.

[0053] In some embodiments, the feed bin 311 is located between the feed position and the receiving bin 312. In other embodiments, the positions of the feed bin 311 and the receiving bin 312 can be swapped, that is, the receiving bin 312 is located between the feed bin 311 and the feed position.

[0054] To improve assembly efficiency, the test board assembly equipment is equipped with at least two storage mechanisms 300. Each storage mechanism 300 corresponds to a robotic arm 400 and at least two assembly mechanisms 200. The robotic arm 400 is located between the storage mechanisms 300 and the assembly mechanisms 200. In other embodiments, the number of storage mechanisms 300, robotic arms 400, and assembly mechanisms 200 can be greater to maximize the number of finished products that can be assembled in a single timeframe.
