[0020] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific implementation methods of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0021] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0022] Secondly, the term "embodiment" as used herein refers to specific features, structures, or characteristics that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in various places throughout this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive with other embodiments. Example

[0023] Reference Figure 1-Figure 4 This embodiment provides an automated PCBA surface spraying device, comprising a support block 1, wherein a placement notch 2 is provided at one corner of the support block 1, the placement notch 2 comprising a bottom surface and two side surfaces, both side surfaces being perpendicular to the bottom surface and vertically arranged, one of the side surfaces being provided with a through hole, an extrusion block 3 being elastically and slidably connected to the through hole, the extrusion block 3 having an inclined surface close to the notch, and further comprising a locking mechanism for locking the position of the extrusion block 3;

[0024] It also includes two support frames 4, each support frame 4 is rotatably connected to an adjustment shaft 5, the adjustment shaft 5 is horizontally arranged, the adjustment shaft 5 is fixed to a bracket 6, the two brackets 6 are fixed to a track 7, the track 7 is slidably connected to two sliders 8, a track 2 9 is fixed between the two sliders 8, the track 2 9 is perpendicular to the track 7, the track 2 9 is slidably connected to a slider 2 10, and each track 2 9 slides with at least two sliders 2 10, and the support block 1 is fixed to the slider 2 10;

[0025] In this embodiment, when in use, the locking mechanism is operated so that the extrusion block 3 is completely inside the through-hole. Then, according to the size of the PCBA to be sprayed, the positions of the slider 1 8, the slider 2 10, and the track 2 9 are adjusted so that the notches of the four support blocks 1 correspond to the four corners of the PCBA, respectively. The four corners of the PCBA are placed in the four notches, with the bottom surfaces of the notches supporting the PCBA and the side surfaces of the notches limiting the side surfaces of the PCBA. Then, the locking mechanism is released. Under the action of elastic force, the inclined surface of the extrusion block 3 generates a thrust on the end of the PCBA. Since it is an inclined surface, it generates a vertical component of force on the PCBA, thereby squeezing the PCBA in the vertical direction. After the PCBA is flipped, the extrusion block 3 can still squeeze the PCBA in the vertical direction to prevent it from falling.

[0026] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the locking mechanism includes a locking member 11 slidably connected to the extrusion block 3, more specifically, as Figure 4 As shown, a slide groove is provided on the top surface of the extrusion block 3, and the bottom end of the locking piece 11 slides inside the slide groove. An L-shaped hole 12 connected to the through hole is provided on the surface of the support block 1. The locking piece 11 passes through the L-shaped hole 12. The L-shaped hole 12 includes a horizontal section 1 and a horizontal section 2. The horizontal section 1 coincides with the sliding track of the extrusion block 3, and the horizontal section 2 is perpendicular to the sliding track of the extrusion block 3; a cover plate 13 is fixed to the right side of the through hole, and the cover plate 13 is fixed to the support block 1 by screws. The extrusion block 3 is fixed with a connecting rod 14 passing through the cover plate 13, and the connecting rod 14 is provided with a spring 15. The two ends of the spring 15 are in contact with the cover plate 13 and the extrusion block 3 respectively. When the extrusion block 3 moves, the spring 15 changes adaptively; the connecting rod 14 extends out of the cover plate 13 and is fixed with a baffle 16 at one end. When the locking piece 11 is in the horizontal section 1 away from the end of the horizontal section 2, the baffle 16 contacts the cover plate 13, and the inclined surface protrudes from the through hole; the baffle 16 is fixedly connected to the pulling part 17;

[0027] In this embodiment, if Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, when the locking member 11 is at the end of the horizontal section 1 away from the horizontal section 2, the baffle 16 contacts the cover plate 13, and the inclined surface protrudes from the through hole. The purpose here is that when the locking member 11 slides on the horizontal section 1, the extrusion block 3 can generate a thrust on the PCBA; the working principle of the locking mechanism is as follows: before installing the PCBA, hold the pulling part 17 and move the connecting rod 14, the baffle 16 and the extrusion block 3 so that the extrusion block 3 completely enters the through hole. During the above process, the locking member 11 moves along the horizontal section 1. When the locking member 11 is level with the horizontal section 2, the locking member 11 is manually slid to move it to the horizontal section 2, and then the pulling part 17 is released. The locking member 11 is stuck at the horizontal section 2, so that the extrusion block 3 cannot move; after the PCBA is placed in the notch, the locking member 11 is manually slid to be on the horizontal section 1. Under the action of the elastic force, the extrusion block 3 moves toward the PCBA.

[0028] As a preferred solution of the present invention, the slider 1 8 and the slider 2 10 are both threadedly connected with a locking handle 18. After adjusting the positions of the slider 1 8 and the slider 2 10, the locking handle 18 is rotated to fix the positions of the slider 1 8 and the slider 2 10.

[0029] As a preferred solution of the present invention, one of the support frames 4 is fixed with a driving mechanism 19. More specifically, the driving mechanism 19 is a cylinder or a linear motor. In order to improve stability, the driving mechanism 19 and components such as the rack 20 can be symmetrically arranged in two groups; the output end of the driving mechanism 19 is a rack 20, and one of the adjustment shafts 5 is equipped with a gear 21 that meshes with the rack 20; one of the support frames 4 is fixed with two in-position sensors 22, and the rack 20 is provided with an in-position contact piece 23;

[0030] In this embodiment, if Figure 1 As shown, the rack 20 is controlled to move by controlling the driving mechanism 19. Since the rack 20 is engaged with the gear 21, the moving rack 20 can drive the gear 21, the adjustment shaft 5, the track 7 and the PCBA to rotate, thereby controlling the spraying surface of the PCBA. The in-position contact piece 23 moves with the rack 20. When it reaches the in-position sensor 22, the driving mechanism 19 stops and the PCBA is facing up, which makes it easier to position the PCBA.

[0031] It will be appreciated that in the development of any actual embodiment, as in any engineering or design project, numerous implementation-specific decisions may be made. Such a development effort may be complex and time-consuming, but will, for those of ordinary skill having the benefit of this disclosure, be a routine undertaking of design, fabrication, and production without undue experimentation.

[0032] It should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that the technical solutions of the present invention may be modified or replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the present invention, and all of these should be included in the scope of the claims of the present invention.
