DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0025] To make the purpose, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention more clear, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts shall fall within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0026] The present invention is described in further detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0027] A monitoring device 1 for an interactive docking station device, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes a relay module 2, an embedded development board 3 and one or more barcode scanners 6, the embedded development board 3 is connected to the barcode scanner 6 and the relay module 2; the relay module 2 is connected to the host computer and the slave computer respectively through the SMEMA interface; the host computer outputs the workpiece, and the slave computer receives the workpiece, and the barcode scanner 6 is set on a docking station device (not shown in the figure) between the host computer and the slave computer, and the barcode scanner 6 is facing the workpiece on the docking station device.

[0028] It is connected to the host computer and the slave computer respectively through the SMEMA interface, can receive signals from the host computer and the slave computer, and obtain the status of the workpiece passing; the level signal of the SMEMA interface is recognized by the relay module 2, and the relay module and the scanner are controlled and the signal is transmitted through the embedded development board; it realizes the connection between the host computer and the slave computer, and scans or takes pictures to identify the workpiece passing through the interactive docking station equipment.

[0029] More specifically, the utility model includes two barcode scanners 6, one barcode scanner 6 faces the upper side of the workpiece; the other barcode scanner 6 faces the lower side of the workpiece, which are respectively used to identify the two sides of the workpiece and identify the barcodes on both sides or one side, thereby improving applicability.

[0030] like Figure 2The SMEMA interface 4 includes a first interface 41 and a second interface 42; the first interface 41 is connected to the host computer, and the second interface 42 is connected to the slave computer; the third pin of the first interface 41 is connected to the IN3 end of the relay module 2, and the fourth pin is connected to the negative pole of the relay module 2 to receive the signal of the host computer outputting the workpiece; the first pin of the second interface 42 is connected to the IN1 end of the relay module, and the second pin is connected to the negative pole of the relay module 2 to receive the signal of the slave requesting to input the workpiece.

[0031] When simultaneously receiving signals from the host computer indicating a workpiece output and signals from the slave computer requesting a workpiece input, the docking station activates, transferring the workpiece (such as a circuit board) from the host computer to the slave computer. The monitoring device activates and uses a barcode scanner to identify the passing workpiece. By intercepting signals from pins 3 and 4 of the host computer and pins 1 and 2 of the slave computer, and actively controlling the signals from pins 1 and 2 of the host computer and pins 3 and 4 of the slave computer, the operating status of the host and slave computers can be determined. Once the operating status is determined, the docking station can be controlled by actively controlling the signals from pins 1 and 2 of the host computer and pins 3 and 4 of the slave computer through judgment logic. This means that the status of the upper and lower computers can be confirmed and automatically connected through two interfaces and four signal lines.

[0032] In the SMT electronics manufacturing industry, the workpiece is a circuit board, each of which has its own unique serial number (SN) code (including barcodes, QR codes, etc.). With the increasing adoption of digital factories, many factories need to trace the production records of individual boards. SN codes are the best way to link this data. By capturing the working status of the host computer, it can determine whether a workpiece is about to enter the lower computer through the docking station. The system can then actively trigger the camera / barcode scanner to scan and identify the workpiece's barcode. This allows for seamless integration without modifying the existing host and lower computers, improving applicability.

[0033] The first pin of the first interface 41 is connected to the OUT1 terminal of the relay module 2, and the second pin is connected to the positive terminal of the relay module 2. The third pin of the second interface 42 is connected to the OUT3 terminal of the relay module, and the fourth pin is connected to the positive terminal of the relay module 2. This is used for active control of release. The OUT1 and OUT3 terminals can be set to normally open terminals to achieve reverse control of the upper and lower computers.

[0034] The present invention further comprises a buzzer 5 and / or a warning light 51 connected to the relay module 2 . The buzzer 5 and the warning light 51 are connected to the idle OUT terminals of the relay module 2 , such as OUT2 and OUT4 .

[0035] The embedded development board 3 is connected to the relay module 2 via RS485 and is connected to the code scanner 6 via an RS232 serial port; the code scanner 6 is a smart camera. Figure 3and Figure 4 Figure 2 shows the metal housing of the monitoring device. Figure 4 The third interface 73 and the fourth interface 74 based on the RS232 serial port are arranged on the side wall of the monitoring device; the side wall is also provided with a power supply interface 7 and a network interface 71. Figure 3 A touch screen 31 is provided on one side of the embedded development board 3. The touch screen 31 is installed on the other side wall of the monitoring device 1 and has a specific size of 7 inches.

[0036] In a specific embodiment, the relay module is DAM0404D, and the embedded development board can be RK3570A or RK3570B with integrated relay module. The embedded development board can be programmed and software can be used to implement customized functions.

[0037] The utility model can be connected to the server through a network interface to transmit data or instructions; realize remote management and data transmission of the monitoring device, and realize interaction with the host computer, slave computer, docking station equipment, and server.

[0038] A specific monitoring process of the present invention is as follows:

[0039] Step 101: Monitor the relay module to obtain the status of the docking station upper and lower computers, and then check whether the current docking station is stopped. If it is stopped, do not execute the next step and continue to check and wait for the stop to be released.

[0040] Step 102: If the line is not stopped, determine whether the current docking station status meets the pass-through condition. If so, proceed to the next step. If not, return to step 101 and continue monitoring.

[0041] Step 103: After the board passing conditions are met, call the scanner / camera to scan the SN code of the current workpiece. If the barcode is successfully obtained and the barcode is legal, proceed to the next step. If not, an alarm will be issued and wait for manual operation.

[0042] Step 104: After successfully acquiring the barcode, the data is integrated and uploaded to the upper-layer application through the network interface. The upper-layer application determines whether to release it. If it is released, it will execute downward. If it is not satisfied, it will alarm and wait for manual operation.

[0043] Step 105: After the upper-layer application agrees to release, the switch corresponding to the relay is closed to turn on the signal, and the docking station starts transporting.

[0044] Step 106: After the docking station releases the object and the object successfully enters the lower computer, the corresponding switch of the relay is turned on to disconnect the signal, the docking station stops conveying, and returns to step 101 to continue monitoring and repeat this cycle until the process stops.

[0045] This new device is easy to install and connects to the docking station, host computer, and slave computer without modifying existing equipment. It transmits signals and even controls the host computer, slave computer, and docking station. It actively scans and identifies workpieces as they pass through the docking station.
