Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automated production of flexible circuit boards, and in particular to an automatic cover opening module for a double-layer carrier used in the SMT industry. Background Art

[0002] FPC, the full name of which is Flexible Printed Circuit, or FPC for short, is a circuit board made of a flexible substrate that can be bent, rolled, and folded freely. It can meet the design needs of smaller and higher-density installations, and also helps reduce assembly processes and enhance reliability.

[0003] During the production of flexible circuit boards, double-sided production is often required. To reduce repeated loading of products during double-sided production, the carrier is often designed as a double-layer model. The upper and lower layers of the carrier are magnetically bonded together. During production, the flexible circuit board is placed in the middle of the double-layer carrier. After production of side A is completed, it can be directly flipped to side B for use. This reduces the number of times the product is repeatedly loaded onto the carrier and reduces the risk of product damage. For double-layer carriers, during the automatic loading process of the machine, the upper and lower layers of the carrier must first be separated, and the products are placed into the carrier one by one, and then the upper layer of the carrier is returned to press the products.

[0004] When studying the existing technology and equipment for separating and closing double-layer carriers, it was found that the existing technology has at least the following problems:

[0005] 1. Since the upper and lower layers of the carrier need to clamp the flexible circuit board, a large suction force is required between the upper and lower layers of the carrier. Conventional separation methods will cause the carrier to deform due to excessive force when separating the upper and lower layers of the carrier, thereby damaging the carrier and also the risk of damaging the flexible circuit board on the carrier.

[0006] 2. After the upper and lower layers of the carrier are separated, the position of the flexible circuit board may change, which will affect the production of subsequent processes.

[0007] In view of this, how to solve the problems of the existing equipment that cause the double-layer carrier to deform and the position of the flexible circuit board to change when the double-layer carrier is separated and closed has become the subject to be studied and solved by the present invention. Utility Model Content

[0008] The utility model provides an automatic cover opening module for a double-layer carrier, which aims to solve the problems of existing equipment causing deformation of the carrier and change in position of the flexible circuit board when the double-layer carrier is separated and closed.

[0009] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes an automatic cover opening module for a double-layer carrier, which is used to open the upper and lower layers of the double-layer carrier. The innovations of the module are:

[0010] The automatic opening and closing cover module includes a liftable workbench with a stand for placing double-layer carriers; the stand is provided with a lower fixing mechanism, an upper lifting mechanism and a product adsorption mechanism.

[0011] The lower-layer fixing mechanism includes a clamping drive unit and a clamping part symmetrically arranged on both sides. The clamping drive unit is positioned and connected to the workbench, and the output end of the clamping drive unit is connected to the clamping part. A plurality of clamping parts are provided on the clamping part. When the double-layer mold is placed on the workbench, the clamping parts pass through the clamping avoidance holes of the lower-layer carrier, and the left and right clamping drive units drive the clamping parts to move toward the middle to clamp the lower-layer carrier.

[0012] The upper jacking mechanism includes a jacking drive unit and a jacking part symmetrically arranged on both sides. The jacking drive unit is positioned and connected to the workbench, and the output end of the jacking drive unit is connected to the jacking part. A plurality of jacking parts are provided on the jacking part. After the lower fixing mechanism clamps the lower carrier, the jacking drive unit drives the jacking parts to pass through the jacking avoidance hole of the lower carrier and then abut against the lower surface of the upper carrier, thereby lifting the upper carrier upward.

[0013] The product adsorption mechanism includes multiple adsorption parts. When the double-layer mold is placed on the workbench, the adsorption parts pass through the adsorption avoidance holes of the lower carrier, and the adsorption parts abut / adsorb in the air against the lower surface of the flexible circuit board in the double-layer carrier.

[0014] The relevant contents of this utility model are explained as follows:

[0015] 1. In the above technical solution of the present invention, in order to solve the problems of existing equipment causing deformation of the carrier and change of the position of the flexible circuit board when the double-layer carrier is separated and closed, an innovative double-layer carrier automatic opening module of the present invention is designed, and a lower-layer fixing mechanism, an upper-layer lifting mechanism and a product adsorption mechanism are arranged on the workbench of the double-layer carrier automatic opening module, and the lower-layer carrier is provided with a clamping avoidance hole, a lifting avoidance hole and an adsorption avoidance hole. When the double-layer mold is placed on the workbench, the clamping parts of the lower-layer fixing mechanism pass through the clamping avoidance hole of the lower-layer carrier, and the left and right clamping drive units drive the clamping parts to move toward the middle to clamp the lower-layer carrier, so that the lower-layer carrier can be firmly positioned; after the lower-layer fixing mechanism clamps the lower-layer carrier, the lifting drive unit drives multiple lifting parts to pass through the lower-layer carrier. After the jacking avoidance hole is lifted, it abuts against the lower surface of the upper carrier and lifts the upper carrier upward. The joint lifting action of the multiple lifting parts prevents the upper carrier from deforming, thereby realizing the separation of the upper carrier and the lower carrier. After separation, the upper carrier can be taken away and the flexible circuit board product can be placed on the lower carrier. The adsorption part of the product adsorption mechanism passes through the adsorption avoidance hole of the lower carrier, and the adsorption part abuts / adsorbs in the air with the lower surface of the flexible circuit board in the lower carrier, so that in the process of closing the upper carrier, the flexible circuit board in the lower carrier can be adsorbed and does not change its position; in this way, the opening and closing operations of the upper and lower carriers in the double-layer carrier are completed. During the opening process, the lower carrier can be firmly positioned, and during the closing process of the upper carrier, the flexible circuit board in the lower carrier can be adsorbed and does not change its position.

[0016] 2. In the above technical solution, the double-layer carrier is moved from the X direction to the top of the workbench by an external streamline. The workbench is connected to a lifting mechanism, and the lifting mechanism drives the workbench to move up and down along the Z direction, so that the double-layer carrier automatic opening module can be better applied to the flexible circuit board automatic production line, making the layout of the double-layer carrier automatic opening module reasonable and the structure compact.

[0017] 3. In the above technical solution, the upper surface of the workbench is provided with a clamping slide rail extending along the X direction, the clamping drive unit and the front and rear sides of the clamping part are symmetrically arranged on the clamping slide rail, the clamping part includes a clamping plate whose length extends along the Y direction, and a plurality of the clamping members are fixedly arranged above the clamping plate.

[0018] 4. In the above technical solution, the clamping member includes a first clamping block and a second clamping block. The first clamping block is established in the Z direction and fixed to the clamping plate, and the second clamping block is established in the X direction and fixed to the first clamping block. The first clamping block acts on the side of the lower carrier, and the second clamping block acts on the upper surface of the lower carrier. The structure of this clamping member makes the clamping and positioning of the lower carrier more secure, so that the double-layer carrier can overcome the larger suction force when separating.

[0019] 5. In the above technical solution, the lower surface of the second clamping block is provided with a conical surface, which is inclined upward toward the middle. Due to the conical surface design, the clamping parts on both sides can have a good transition when approaching the middle to clamp the lower carrier, further avoiding damage to the lower carrier.

[0020] 6. In the above technical solution, the workbench is provided with a guide rod established along the Z direction, the guide rod is sleeved on the guide linear bearing, the lifting part includes a lifting plate whose length extends along the Y direction, the telescopic shaft of the lifting drive unit is connected to the lifting plate, and the lifting plate is guided and connected to the guide rod, and a plurality of the lifting parts are fixedly arranged above the lifting plate. The structure of the upper lifting mechanism designed in this way can provide a more stable, reliable, fast and precise lifting operation, which can make the upper carrier separated faster and more accurately without damaging the upper carrier.

[0021] 7. In the above technical solution, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting bracket, a lifting drive motor, a lifting slide rail, and a buffer limiter. The lifting drive motor and the buffer limiter are installed on the lifting bracket, and the workbench is installed on the lifting slide rail. The lifting slide rail is cooperatively connected with the lifting drive motor. With this structure, the double-layer carrier is moved from the X direction to the top of the workbench by the external streamline, and then the lifting mechanism drives the workbench to move in the Z direction to lift the double-layer carrier first. At this time, the clamping part of the lower-layer fixing mechanism passes through the clamping avoidance hole of the lower-layer carrier.

[0022] 8. In the above technical solution, the adsorption part is an adsorption air nozzle to avoid damaging the flexible circuit board.

[0023] 9. In the above technical solution, the clamping drive unit and the lifting drive unit both use cylinders, and the power source is an air source, which can be the same source as the adsorption air nozzle, and the setting is simple, convenient and reliable.

[0024] 10. In this application, unless otherwise expressly specified or limited, the terms "installed," "connected," "connect," "fixed," etc. should be understood broadly. For example, they may refer to fixed connection, detachable connection, or integration; mechanical connection or electrical connection; direct connection or indirect connection through an intermediate medium; internal communication between two elements or interaction between two elements, unless otherwise expressly limited. Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meanings of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0025] 11. In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "upper", "lower", "inner", etc. indicate orientations or positional relationships based on the orientations or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings.

Unless otherwise stated, the above words have no special meaning.

[0027] Due to the application of the above scheme, the utility model has the following advantages and effects compared with the prior art:

[0028] 1. The above-mentioned scheme of the present invention aims to solve the problems of existing equipment that cause deformation of the carrier and change of the position of the flexible circuit board when the double-layer carrier is separated and closed, and innovatively designs the double-layer carrier automatic opening module of the present invention. The workbench of the double-layer carrier automatic opening module is provided with a lower-layer fixing mechanism, an upper-layer lifting mechanism and a product adsorption mechanism. The lower-layer carrier is provided with a clamping avoidance hole, a lifting avoidance hole and an adsorption avoidance hole. When the double-layer mold is placed on the workbench, the clamping parts of the lower-layer fixing mechanism pass through the clamping avoidance holes of the lower-layer carrier, and the left and right clamping drive units drive the clamping parts to move toward the middle to clamp the lower-layer carrier, so that the lower-layer carrier can be firmly positioned.

[0029] 2. After the lower fixing mechanism clamps the lower carrier, the lifting drive unit drives the plurality of lifting members to pass through the lifting avoidance holes of the lower carrier and then abut against the lower surface of the upper carrier, thereby lifting the upper carrier upward. The joint lifting action of the plurality of lifting members prevents the upper carrier from being deformed, thereby realizing the separation of the upper carrier and the lower carrier. After separation, the upper carrier can be removed and the flexible circuit board product can be placed on the lower carrier. The adsorption part of the product adsorption mechanism passes through the adsorption avoidance holes of the lower carrier, and the adsorption part abuts against / adsorbs in the air with the lower surface of the flexible circuit board in the lower carrier, so that during the process of closing the upper carrier, the flexible circuit board in the lower carrier can be adsorbed and does not change its position.

During the opening process, the lower layer is securely positioned, and during the closing process, the flexible circuit board in the lower layer is attracted and held in place. This automatic cover module, when used in automated production lines, improves production efficiency and prevents damage to the double-layer carrier and flexible circuit boards.

[0059] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present application more clearly understood, the specific embodiments of the present application are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following description sets forth many specific details to facilitate a full understanding of the present application. However, the present application can be implemented in many other ways than those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar improvements without violating the scope of the present application. Therefore, the present application is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0060] The present invention aims to solve the problems of existing equipment such as deformation of the carrier and change of the position of the flexible circuit board when the double-layer carrier 9 is separated and closed, and innovatively designs the double-layer carrier automatic opening module of the present invention to achieve the purpose of opening the upper carrier 91 and the lower carrier 92 in the double-layer carrier 9.

[0061] like Figures 1 to 13 As shown, an embodiment of the utility model proposes an automatic lid opening module for a double-layer carrier, which is used to open the upper carrier 91 and the lower carrier 92 in the double-layer carrier 9. The automatic lid opening and closing module includes a liftable workbench 1, and the workbench 1 has a stand 11 for placing the double-layer carrier 9; the stand 11 is provided with a lower fixing mechanism 2, an upper lifting mechanism 3 and a product adsorption mechanism 4.

[0062] The lower-layer fixing mechanism 2 includes a clamping drive unit 21 and a clamping part 22 symmetrically arranged on both sides. The clamping drive unit 21 is positioned and connected to the workbench 1. The output end of the clamping drive unit 21 is connected to the clamping part 22. A plurality of clamping members 221 are provided on the clamping part 22. When the double-layer mold is placed on the workbench 1, the clamping member 221 passes through the clamping avoidance hole of the lower-layer carrier 92, and the left and right clamping drive units 21 drive the clamping member 221 to move toward the middle to clamp the lower-layer carrier 92.

[0063] The upper jacking mechanism 3 includes a jacking drive unit 31 and a jacking part 32 symmetrically arranged on both sides. The jacking drive unit 31 is positioned and connected to the workbench 1. The output end of the jacking drive unit 31 is connected to the jacking part 32. A plurality of jacking parts 321 are provided on the jacking part 32. After the lower fixing mechanism 2 clamps the lower carrier 92, the jacking drive unit 31 drives the jacking parts 321 to pass through the jacking avoidance hole of the lower carrier 92 and then abut against the lower surface of the upper carrier 91, thereby lifting the upper carrier 91 upward.

[0064] The product adsorption mechanism 4 includes multiple adsorption parts 41. When the double-layer mold is placed on the workbench 1, the adsorption parts 41 pass through the adsorption avoidance holes of the lower carrier 92, and the adsorption parts 41 abut / adsorb in the air against the lower surface of the flexible circuit board in the double-layer carrier 9.

[0065] Through the implementation of the above-mentioned embodiment of the present invention, in this equipment, a lower-layer fixing mechanism 2, an upper-layer lifting mechanism 3 and a product adsorption mechanism 4 are provided on the workbench 1, and a clamping avoidance hole, a lifting avoidance hole and an adsorption avoidance hole are provided on the lower-layer carrier 92. When the double-layer mold is placed on the workbench 1, the clamping member 221 of the lower-layer fixing mechanism 2 passes through the clamping avoidance hole of the lower-layer carrier 92, and the left and right clamping drive units 21 drive the clamping member 221 to move toward the middle to clamp the lower-layer carrier 92, so that the lower-layer carrier 92 can be firmly positioned; after the lower-layer fixing mechanism 2 clamps the lower-layer carrier 92, the lifting drive unit 31 drives multiple lifting members 321 to pass through the lifting avoidance hole of the lower-layer carrier 92 and abut against the lower surface of the upper-layer carrier 91, and lift the upper-layer carrier 91 upward, and multiple lifting members 321 are driven to pass through the lifting avoidance hole of the lower-layer carrier 92. The joint lifting action of parts 321 prevents the upper carrier 91 from deforming, thereby realizing the separation of the upper carrier 91 and the lower carrier 92. After separation, the upper carrier 91 can be removed, and the flexible circuit board product can be placed on the lower carrier 92. The adsorption part 41 of the product adsorption mechanism 4 passes through the adsorption avoidance hole of the lower carrier 92, and the adsorption part 41 abuts / adsorbs the lower surface of the flexible circuit board in the lower carrier 92 in the air, so that in the process of closing the upper carrier 91, the flexible circuit board in the lower carrier 92 can be adsorbed and will not change its position; thereby completing the opening and closing operations of the upper carrier 91 and the lower carrier 92 in the double-layer carrier 9, and the lower carrier 92 can be firmly positioned during the opening process, and the flexible circuit board in the lower carrier 92 can be adsorbed and will not change its position during the closing process of the upper carrier 91.

[0067] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism 5 includes a lifting bracket 51, a lifting drive motor 52, a lifting slide rail 53, and a buffer limiter 54. The lifting drive motor 52 and the buffer limiter 54 are installed on the lifting bracket 51, and the workbench 1 is installed on the lifting slide rail 53. The lifting slide rail 53 is cooperated and connected with the lifting drive motor 52. With this structure, the double-layer carrier 9 is moved from the X direction to the top of the workbench 1 by the external streamline, and then the lifting mechanism 5 drives the workbench 1 to move in the Z direction to lift the double-layer carrier 9 first. At this time, the clamping member 221 of the lower-layer fixing mechanism 2 passes through the clamping avoidance hole of the lower-layer carrier 92.

[0068] Specifically, the upper surface of the workbench 1 is provided with a clamping slide rail 12 extending along the X direction, and the clamping drive unit 21 and the clamping part 22 are symmetrically arranged on the front and rear sides of the clamping slide rail 12. The clamping part 22 includes a clamping plate 222 whose length extends along the Y direction, and a plurality of the clamping members 221 are fixedly arranged above the clamping plate 222.

[0069] In another embodiment of the present invention, the clamping member 221 includes a first clamping block 2211 and a second clamping block 2212. The first clamping block 2211 is established in the Z direction and fixed to the clamping plate 222, and the second clamping block 2212 is established in the X direction and fixed to the first clamping block 2211. The first clamping block 2211 acts on the side of the lower carrier 92, and the second clamping block 2212 acts on the upper surface of the lower carrier 92. The structure of the clamping member 221 makes the clamping and positioning of the lower carrier 92 more secure, so that the double-layer carrier 9 can overcome the larger suction force when separated.

[0070] Specifically, the lower surface of the second clamping block 2212 is provided with a conical surface 22121, and the conical surface 22121 is inclined upward toward the middle. Due to the design of the conical surface 22121, the clamping parts 221 on both sides can have a good transition when approaching the middle to clamp the lower carrier 92, further avoiding damage to the lower carrier 92.

[0071] In another embodiment of the present invention, the clamping member 221 includes a first clamping block 2211 and a second clamping block 2212. The first clamping block 2211 is established in the Z direction and fixed to the clamping plate 222, and the second clamping block 2212 is established in the X direction and fixed to the first clamping block 2211. The first clamping block 2211 acts on the side of the lower carrier 92, and the second clamping block 2212 acts on the upper surface of the lower carrier 92.

The structure of the upper lifting mechanism 3 designed in this way can provide a more stable, reliable, fast and precise lifting operation, which can make the upper carrier 91 separated faster and more accurately without damaging the upper carrier 91.

[0073] In another embodiment of the present invention, the adsorption portion 41 is a suction nozzle to avoid damaging the flexible circuit board. Specifically, the clamping drive unit 21 and the lifting drive unit 31 are both cylinders, and the power source is an air source, which can be the same as the adsorption nozzle, making the installation simple, convenient and reliable.
