[0022] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0023] Example 1:

[0024] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the present application provides a fully automatic three-dimensional optical inspection equipment for PCB assembly, including an assembly workbench 1, a conveying component 2, an assembly component 3, an inspection component 4 and a heat dissipation and dustproof component 5; the conveying component 2 is arranged on the assembly workbench 1, and the conveying component 2 is used to convey the PCB substrate.

[0025] Through the precise and stable conveying function of the conveying component 2, efficient and smooth transportation of the PCB substrate on the production line is achieved, ensuring seamless connection of subsequent assembly and testing steps.

[0026] The detection component 4 and the assembly component 3 are sequentially arranged on the assembly workbench 1 along the first direction, and are used to assemble and detect the PCB substrate conveyed by the conveying component 2 .

[0027] Through the precise placement of the assembly component 3 and the high-resolution scanning of the detection component 4, precise control and instant feedback of the PCB assembly quality are achieved, thereby improving the product qualification rate and production efficiency.

[0028] The heat dissipation and dust-proof component 5 is arranged between the detection component 4 and the assembly component 3. The heat dissipation and dust-proof component 5 includes a mounting component 51, a first blower 52, a second blower 53, a first dust-proof net 54 and a second dust-proof net 55; the mounting component 51 is arranged above the transmission component 2, the first blower 52 is arranged on the mounting component 51, and the air blowing port of the first blower 52 is facing the detection component 4, the first dust-proof net 54 is arranged on the mounting component 51, and is aligned with the air inlet of the first blower 52; the second blower 53 is arranged on the mounting component 51, and the air blowing port of the second blower 53 is facing the assembly component 3, the second dust-proof net 55 is arranged on the mounting component 51, and is aligned with the air inlet of the second blower 53.

[0029] By setting a first blower 52 to dissipate heat in the operating area of ​​the detection component 4, the detection accuracy and long-term stable operation of the equipment are guaranteed, thereby improving product quality and reducing equipment maintenance costs, and then setting a first dustproof net 54 at the air inlet of the first blower 52, so that the first dustproof net 54 has a negative pressure effect to absorb dust from the assembly component 3, ensuring that dust is reduced during the assembly process of the assembly component 3; and then setting a second blower 53 to effectively dissipate heat and remove dust from the operating area of ​​the assembly component 3, further avoiding assembly errors caused by dust, improving assembly accuracy and reducing failure rate, and setting a second dustproof net 55 at the air inlet of the second blower 53, so that the second dustproof net 55 has a negative pressure effect to absorb dust from the detection component 4, avoiding dust from falling into the assembled PCB during the detection process of the detection component 4 and affecting the detection of the detection component 4.

[0030] In this embodiment, the PCB substrate is moved to the operating area of ​​the detection component 4 and the assembly component 3 by the conveying component 2, the assembly component 3 performs necessary assembly operations on the PCB substrate, and then the detection component 4 performs precise inspection on the assembled PCB substrate; in this process, the heat dissipation and dustproof component 5 plays a key role. The heat dissipation and dustproof component 5 is arranged between the detection component 4 and the assembly component 3 to ensure that before the assembly component 3 performs necessary assembly operations on the PCB substrate, the dust on the surface of the parts assembled to the PCB substrate by the assembly component 3 is effectively removed, and the detection component 4 is cooled to ensure that the detection component 4 is within an appropriate temperature range, thereby improving the problem that dust is easily attached to the PCB during PCB assembly, causing the assembled PCB to fail to meet the requirements, and the laser detector 42 is prone to overheating and a decrease in detection accuracy during a long period of time of detecting the assembled PCB.

[0031] Example 2:

[0036] At the same time, a cooling pipe 515 and several cooling fins 516 are arranged between the first mounting plate 513 and the second mounting plate 514. An air intake gap is reserved between each cooling fin 516. The air intake gap is used for the first blower 52 and the second blower 53 to inhale air.

[0037] By arranging an efficient layout of the cooling tube 515 and the cooling fin 516, more effective heat dissipation management is achieved, ensuring low-temperature operation of the components, preventing overheating problems, maintaining equipment performance and improving long-term operational stability; the setting of the air intake gap allows the first blower 52 and the second blower 53 to inhale air through the first dustproof net 54 and the second dustproof net 55, so as to avoid the problem that the first blower 52 and the second blower 53 are blocked by the cooling fin 516 and cannot inhale air.

[0038] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the conveying assembly 2 includes a transmission mounting plate 21, a conveyor belt 22, a position sensor 23 and a drive motor 24.

[0039] Through the position sensor 23 and the precisely controlled drive motor 24, accurate positioning and smooth transmission of the PCB substrate are achieved, thereby improving the automation level and production efficiency of the production line.

[0040] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the assembly component 3 includes an assembly support frame 31, a first transmission member 32, a second transmission member 33 and a material grabbing member 34. The assembly support frame 31 spans above the conveying component 2 and is fixed on the assembly workbench 1; the first transmission member 32 is arranged on the assembly support frame 31, and the second transmission member 33 is arranged on the transmission terminal of the first transmission member 32.

[0041] By utilizing an efficient transmission system and precise mechanical structure, fast and accurate assembly actions are achieved, ensuring assembly quality and improving operation speed.

[0042] The grabbing member 34 is set on the transmission terminal of the second transmission member 33, and the transmission terminal of the second transmission member 33 drives the grabbing member 34 to perform linear reciprocating motion along the third direction. The grabbing member 34 is used to grab the PCB assembly and assemble it onto the PCB substrate of the transmission component 2.

[0043] Through the precise control and flexible movements of the gripper 34 , efficient and reliable PCB assembly is achieved, ensuring the accuracy and quality of product assembly.

[0044] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the detection component 4 includes a detection support frame 41 and a laser detector 42. The detection support frame 41 is cantilevered above the conveying component 2 and fixed on the assembly workbench 1. The laser detector 42 is arranged on the detection support frame 41, and the detection end of the laser detector 42 is facing the conveying component 2.

[0045] Through high-precision laser inspection technology, immediate and accurate inspection of PCBs after assembly is achieved, significantly improving the product qualification rate and reducing defect output.

[0046] In this embodiment, by integrating sophisticated conveying, assembly, and inspection technologies, as well as efficient heat dissipation and dust control systems, high efficiency and high reliability of the PCB production line are achieved. Precisely aligned component installation and advanced automated control ensure accurate handling of PCB substrates throughout the entire production process, thereby improving overall production efficiency, reducing production costs, and significantly enhancing product quality. In addition, the comprehensive heat dissipation management and dust control strategies ensure the long-term stable operation of the equipment, reduce maintenance requirements, and extend the service life of the equipment.

[0047] As described above, the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit it.
