Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of PCB production devices, in particular to an automatic steering and unloading device for a carrier. Background Art

[0002] Flexible printed circuit boards (FPCs) are manufactured using a flexible substrate, exhibiting excellent flexibility and bendability. They are widely used in electronic products such as mobile phones, tablets, and wearable devices. One of the advantages of FPCs is their flexibility, which allows them to be shaped. However, shaping a product requires a way to fix the shape after shaping. Taping is a common method for this. Currently, in the PCB production process, due to the flexibility of the product and the tape, a carrier is often required to load the product, providing a flat surface for the product and the tape.

[0003] In the current PCB production process, the carrier is placed on the flow line to achieve automated production. However, this operation still has certain limitations in actual use, as follows:

[0004] Because the carrier will be produced in the direction of the flow line during production, when a product completes the production and processing steps on the carrier, the carrier will flow along the flow line to the carrier trolley to complete unloading. However, since the flow line is always flowing, it will appear that the head of the carrier enters the flow line first, so the head of the carrier will also enter the carrier trolley first. At this time, in order to make the subsequent carriers in the carrier trolley enter the flow line, the operator will turn the carrier in the carrier trolley 180 degrees, that is, the head of the carrier is changed from pointing at the handrail of the trolley to pointing at the rear end of the trolley. However, this operation requires the personnel to constantly load the trolley, which increases the workload of the personnel.

[0005] Secondly, when stacking the carriers onto the loading truck, since workers are required to continuously load the truck, the neatness of the stacking of the carriers cannot be guaranteed, and the number of workers required for the stacking process increases.

[0006] Therefore, how to solve the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art has become the subject to be studied and solved in this utility model. Utility Model Content

[0007] The utility model provides an automatic steering and unloading device for a carrier, aiming to solve the technical problems raised in the above background technology.

[0008] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is: an automatic steering unloading device for carriers, which is arranged on the upper surface of a work cabinet and is used to rotate the product carrier to a set angle and then transport it to the carrier material car. The automatic steering unloading device includes a first streamline, a second streamline, a transport mechanism, and a lifting and pushing mechanism arranged on the work cabinet;

[0009] The product carriers on the first streamline flow direction are in a first direction, and the product carriers on the second streamline flow direction are in a second direction, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction; the first streamline has a carrier removal position;

[0010] The second flow line has an inlet end facing the first flow line and a discharge end away from the first flow line;

[0011] A safety position is provided above the first flow line and / or above the second flow line;

[0012] The transport mechanism includes a motion module, a rotation module and a carrier clamping claw arranged above the carrier removal position, the safety position and the upgrade pusher module;

[0013] The motion module is arranged above the first streamline and the second streamline, and the rotation module is positioned and connected to the motion module and driven by the motion module to move in a vertical direction parallel to the second direction and perpendicular to the plane where the first direction and the second direction are located;

[0014] The lifting and pushing mechanism includes a lifting unit, a carrier support frame, and a pushing module provided on the second streamline; the lifting unit has a working end for connecting with the carrier support frame and driving the carrier support frame to move in a vertical direction; the carrier support frame has a carrying portion for carrying the product carrier clamped by the carrier clamp; the pushing module is provided in the carrier support frame, and the pushing module has a pushing portion for pushing the product carrier from the carrier support frame to the carrier trolley;

[0015] The carrier trolley is arranged at one side of the unloading end of the second streamline, and the carrier trolley is provided with a carrier carrying position.

[0016] The relevant contents of the above plan are explained as follows:

[0017] There are three areas for setting the safety position, namely, setting it alone above the first streamline, setting it alone above the second streamline, and above the first streamline and the second streamline. Among them, since the second streamline is used to transfer product carriers to the carrier trolley, it is preferred to set it alone above the second streamline.

[0018] The rotation module can be a structure such as a rotation motor or a servo that can rotate the vehicle gripper to a set angle.

[0019] The push module can be equipped with a belt, electric push rod or reciprocating screw.

[0020] When the product carrier enters the first flow line, the head end of the product carrier is configured to align with the entrance of the first flow line, that is, when the product carrier enters the first flow line, the head end of the product carrier enters first and the tail end enters later.

[0021] A further technical solution is to establish a coordinate axis based on the first direction, the second direction, and a vertical direction perpendicular to the plane where the first direction and the second direction are located, wherein:

[0022] The first direction on the first streamline is the X-axis, the second direction on the second streamline is the Y-axis, and the vertical direction perpendicular to the plane where the X-axis and the Y-axis are located is the Z-axis;

[0023] The product carrier has a head end and a tail end. When the product carrier enters a first flow line, the head end of the product carrier is configured to align with an entrance of the first flow line.

[0024] The work cabinet can be either rectangular or round. The rectangular type is preferred because it facilitates the turnover of the production line.

[0025] If the work cabinet is circular, the product carrier will be guided by centrifugal force when it flows on the streamline, resulting in slight position deviation, which will affect the subsequent stacking operation.

[0026] A further technical solution is that the motion module includes a horizontal transport component, a vertical transport component, and a bracket fixedly connected to the upper surface of the work cabinet, the horizontal transport component is positioned and connected above the first streamline and the second streamline through the bracket, and the horizontal transport component has a sliding guide rail;

[0027] The vertical transport assembly is positioned and connected to the sliding guide rail, and slides parallel to the Y-axis through the sliding guide rail;

[0028] The movable end of the vertical transport assembly is positioned and connected to the rotating module, and is used to move the rotating module along the Z-axis direction.

[0029] With the help of the above design, the angle of the product carrier can be adjusted.

[0030] According to a further technical solution, the upper surface of the work cabinet has a receiving groove for receiving the carrier trolley;

[0031] An activity chamber is provided on the upper surface of the working cabinet at a position corresponding to the second streamline, and the activity chamber is communicated with the accommodating groove.

[0032] According to a further technical solution, the lifting unit has a lifting slide rail positioned and connected within the activity chamber;

[0033] The carrier support frame is installed on the lifting slide rail and is driven by the working end provided on the lifting unit to achieve reciprocating motion along the Z-axis direction.

[0034] Since the carrier trolley is in the receiving tank, after the second streamline completes a product carrier stacking operation, if the second streamline remains at the same height, it is easy for the second product carrier to press against the first product carrier. Therefore, with the help of the above design, the product carriers can be automatically stacked.

[0035] According to a further technical solution, the carrier support frame has a groove, and the bearing portion includes guide rollers arranged on two corresponding side walls in the groove;

[0036] The second flow line is defined by the rotating surfaces of the plurality of guide rollers;

[0037] The pushing module is arranged in the groove.

[0038] Since the product carrier is grasped by the carrier gripper, position deviation is likely to occur during the placement process. Therefore, the above design ensures that the position of the product carrier will not deviate from the second streamline when it is on the second streamline.

[0039] According to a further technical solution, the pushing module includes a conveyor belt positioned and connected in the groove, and the conveyor belt acts on the lower surface of the product carrier;

[0040] The pushing portion is a pushing block positioned and connected to the conveyor belt;

[0041] When the product carrier is clamped onto the carrying portion, the push block is configured to act on the head end of the product carrier located on the carrying portion.

[0042] With the help of the above design, the product carrier can be automatically pushed into the carrier trolley.

[0043] According to a further technical solution, the first streamline includes two first rails positioned and connected to the upper surface of the work cabinet.

[0044] According to a further technical solution, the first streamline further includes a stopper provided between the two first rails, the stopper acting on the end of the carrier removal position to limit the product carrier entering the carrier removal position.

[0045] According to a further technical solution, the carrier clamp includes a fixed block positioned and connected to the movable end of the rotating module, a cylinder is provided at both ends of the fixed block, and a clamping block is positioned and connected to the movable end of each cylinder.

[0046] In a further technical solution, the horizontal transport assembly further comprises a driving component for driving the sliding guide rail, such as a motor;

[0047] The vertical transport assembly includes a cylinder fixing frame connected to the sliding guide rail and a cylinder fixed on the cylinder fixing frame. The cylinder is used to move the rotating module along the Z-axis direction. However, in specific operations, it is not necessarily limited to a cylinder, but can also be an electric push rod, screw and other structures.

[0048] Similarly, the lifting unit also has a driving component for driving the lifting rail, such as a motor.

[0054] The working principle and advantages of this utility model are as follows:

[0055] The utility model can rotate the product carrier to a set angle before loading it into the carrier trolley through the cooperation of the first streamline, the second streamline and the rotating module, so that the head end of the product carrier is set facing the first streamline when it enters the first streamline next time, thereby reducing the intensity of manual operation.

[0067] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments:

[0068] Embodiment: The present invention will be clearly illustrated below with drawings and detailed descriptions. After understanding the embodiments of the present invention, any person skilled in the art can make changes and modifications based on the techniques taught by the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.

[0069] The terms used herein are for describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to be limiting of the present invention. Singular forms such as "a," "the," "this," "this," and "the" as used herein also include plural forms.

[0070] See attached Figures 1-9 As shown, a carrier automatic steering unloading device is arranged on the upper surface of the work cabinet 3, and is used to turn the product carrier 16 to a set angle and then transport it to the carrier trolley 12. The automatic steering unloading device includes a first streamline 1, a second streamline 2, a transport mechanism 30, and a lifting and pushing mechanism 31 arranged on the work cabinet 3;

[0071] The product carriers 16 on the first flow line 1 flow in a first direction, and the product carriers 16 on the second flow line 2 flow in a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction. The first flow line 1 has a carrier removal position 5;

[0072] The second flow line 2 has an inlet end facing the first flow line 1 and a discharge end away from the first flow line 1;

[0073] A safety position 6 is provided above the first flow line 1 and / or above the second flow line 2;

[0074] The carrier trolley 12 is arranged at the unloading end of the second streamline 2;

[0075] The transport mechanism 30 includes a motion module 13, a rotation module 14 and a carrier clamp 15 which are arranged above the carrier removal position 5, the safety position 6 and the upgrade pusher module 9;

[0076] The motion module 13 is disposed above the first streamline 1 and the second streamline 2. The rotation module 14 is positioned and connected to the motion module 13 and is driven by the motion module 13 to move in a vertical direction parallel to the second direction and perpendicular to the plane where the first and second directions lie.

[0077] The lifting and pushing mechanism 31 includes a lifting unit 7, a carrier support frame 8, and a pushing module 9 provided on the second streamline 2; the lifting unit 7 has a working end for connecting with the carrier support frame 8 and driving the carrier support frame 8 to move in the vertical direction; the carrier support frame 8 has a carrying portion for carrying the product carrier 16 clamped by the carrier clamp 15; the pushing module 9 is arranged in the carrier support frame 8, and the pushing module 9 has a pushing portion for pushing the product carrier 16 from the carrier support frame 8 to the carrier trolley 12;

[0078] The carrier trolley 12 is disposed at one side of the unloading end of the second streamline 2 , and has a carrier carrying position 11 thereon.

[0079] The present invention can rotate the product carrier 16 to a set angle before loading it into the carrier trolley 12 through the cooperation of the first streamline 1, the second streamline 2 and the rotating module 14, so that the head end 17 of the product carrier 16 is facing the first streamline 1 when it enters the first streamline 1 next time.

[0080] Specifically, when the product carrier 16 is placed onto the first streamline 1, the head end 17 of the product carrier 16 is aligned with the first streamline 1 and then enters the first streamline 1. As the first streamline 1 flows, the product carrier 16 will move to the carrier removal position 5 and stop. After that, the motion module 13 guides the rotating module 14 and the carrier clamp 15 to move to the carrier removal position 5, and then the carrier clamp 15 clamps the product carrier 16 to the carrying part.

[0081] When the product carrier 16 is clamped onto the loading portion, it first moves from the unloading position 5 to the safety position 6. The rotation module 14 then rotates the product carrier 16 by a set angle so that the head end 17 of the product carrier 16 faces the entrance. The product carrier 16 is then lowered onto the loading portion.

[0082] Subsequently, the unloading line pushes the product carrier 16 from the inlet end to the unloading end until it enters the carrier trolley 12 .

[0083] The present invention can also realize the operation of automatically stacking product carriers 16 on the carrier trolley 12 through the cooperation of the lifting unit 7, the carrier support frame 8 and the unloading streamline. Specifically, since the carrier carrying position 11 is opposite the unloading end, when the first product carrier 16 is stacked, the lifting unit 7 brings the carrier support frame 8 and the unloading streamline down until the product carrier 16 is aligned with the bottom surface of the carrier trolley 12. Then, when the unloading streamline pushes the product carrier 16 from the entrance end to the unloading end, it can enter the carrier trolley 12. When the first product carrier 16 is stacked, the lifting unit 7 brings the carrier support frame 8 up. After receiving the second product carrier 16, the lifting unit 7 brings the carrier support frame 8 down and stacks the second product carrier 16. This cycle continues until all product carriers 16 are stacked intact.

[0084] There are three areas for setting the safety position 6, namely, setting it alone above the first streamline 1, setting it alone above the second streamline 2, and above the first streamline 1 and the second streamline 2. Among them, since the second streamline 2 is used to transfer the product carrier 16 to the carrier trolley 12, it is preferred to set it alone above the second streamline 2.

[0085] In some specific embodiments, a coordinate axis is established based on the first direction, the second direction, and a vertical direction perpendicular to the plane where the first direction and the second direction are located, wherein:

[0086] The first direction on the first streamline 1 is the X-axis, the second direction on the second streamline 2 is the Y-axis, and the vertical direction perpendicular to the plane where the X-axis and the Y-axis are located is the Z-axis;

[0087] The product carrier 16 has a head end 17 and a tail end 18 . When the product carrier 16 enters the first flow line 1 , the head end 17 of the product carrier 16 is configured to align with the entrance of the first flow line 1 .

[0088] When the product carrier 16 is on the second streamline 2, the head end 17 of the product carrier 16 is configured to align with the inlet end, and when the angle is turned above the first streamline 1, the head end 17 of the product carrier 16 is configured to face the inlet end. Only when the product carrier 16 is guided to the second streamline 2 by the motion module 13 will it be aligned with the inlet end.

[0089] In some specific embodiments, the motion module 13 includes a horizontal transport assembly 19, a vertical transport assembly 20, and a bracket 21 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the work cabinet 3. The horizontal transport assembly 19 is positioned and connected above the first streamline 1 and the second streamline 2 through the bracket 21. The horizontal transport assembly 19 has a sliding guide rail;

[0090] The vertical transport assembly 20 is positioned and connected to the sliding guide rail and slides parallel to the Y axis through the sliding guide rail;

[0091] The movable end of the vertical transport assembly 20 is positioned and connected to the rotating module 14 and is used to move the rotating module 14 along the Z-axis direction.

[0092] With the above design, the angle of the product carrier 16 can be turned. Specifically, the sliding guide rail moves with the vertical transport assembly 20 in a direction parallel to the Y axis (i.e., the second direction, refer to Figure 1 That is, the length direction of the work cabinet 3), until the vertical transport component 20, the rotating module 14 and the carrier clamp 15 are all moved from the carrying part to the position where the carrier position 5 is located. Then, the vertical transport component 20 (an electric push rod, a reciprocating screw or a hydraulic cylinder can be selected) will move the rotating module 14 along the Z-axis direction, that is, the carrier clamp 15 is lowered to contact the product carrier 16 on the carrier position 5.

[0093] Afterwards, the carrier clamp 15 clamps the product carrier 16 on the carrier position 5, the vertical transport assembly 20 rises, and the sliding guide rail moves the vertical transport assembly 20 to the safety position 6. At this time, the rotating module 14 rotates the product carrier 16 to the set angle.

[0094] by Figure 1 For example, at the carrier retrieval position 5 , because the head end 17 of the product carrier 16 enters the first flow line 1 first, the head end 17 of the product carrier 16 is located in front of the carrier retrieval position 5 .

[0095] When the product carrier 16 is in the safety position 6 , the rotating module 14 rotates counterclockwise so that the head end 17 of the product carrier 16 faces the entrance end, thereby completing the angle rotation operation.

[0096] In some embodiments, the upper surface of the work cabinet 3 has a receiving slot 10 for receiving a carrier trolley 12;

[0097] An active chamber 22 is formed on the upper surface of the work cabinet 3 at a position corresponding to the second streamline 2 . The active chamber 22 is communicated with the receiving tank 10 .

[0098] In some embodiments, the lifting unit 7 has a lifting rail positioned and connected within the activity chamber 22;

[0099] The carrier support frame 8 is installed on the lifting slide rail and is driven by the movable end provided on the lifting unit 7 to achieve reciprocating motion along the Z-axis direction.

[0100] Since the carrier trolley 12 is in the receiving tank 10, after the second streamline 2 completes a product carrier 16 stacking operation, if the second streamline 2 is still at the same height, it is easy for the second product carrier 16 to press against the first product carrier 16. Therefore, with the help of the above design, the product carrier 16 can realize automatic stacking operation.

[0101] That is, the lifting slide rail carries the carrier support frame 8 into the activity chamber 22 so that the first product carrier 16 is aligned with the carrier carrying position 11 (that is, the bottom surface of the carrier trolley 12 ).

[0102] After the first product carrier 16 is stacked, the lifting rail carries the second product carrier 16 to fall on top of the first product carrier 16 (that is, the second product carrier 16 is aligned with the upper surface of the first product carrier 16), thereby achieving the purpose of automatic stacking.

[0103] In some specific embodiments, the carrier support frame 8 has a groove 23 , and the bearing portion includes guide rollers 24 disposed on two corresponding side walls of the groove 23 ;

[0104] The second flow line 2 is defined by the rotating surfaces of the plurality of guide rollers 24;

[0105] The pushing module 9 is arranged in the groove 23 .

[0106] Since the product carrier 16 is grasped by the carrier clamp 15 , it is easy to be offset during the placement process. Therefore, through the above design, the position of the product carrier 16 will not be offset from the second streamline 2 when it is on the second streamline 2.

[0107] In some embodiments, the pushing module 9 includes a conveyor belt positioned and connected in the groove 23 , and the conveyor belt acts on the lower surface of the product carrier 16 ;

[0108] The pushing part is a pushing block 25 which is positioned and connected to the conveyor belt;

[0109] When the product carrier 16 is clamped onto the carrying portion, the push block 25 is configured to act on the head end 17 of the product carrier 16 located on the carrying portion.

[0110] With the above design, the product carrier 16 can be automatically pushed into the carrier trolley 12 .

[0111] That is, the conveyor belt moves with the push block 25 , and then the push block 25 pushes the head end 17 of the product carrier 16 to make the tail end 18 of the product carrier 16 enter the carrier carrying position 11 . When stacking is completed, the push block 25 is reset.

[0112] In some specific embodiments, the first flow line 1 includes two first rails 26 positioned and connected to the upper surface of the work cabinet 3 .

[0113] In some specific embodiments, the first flow line 1 further includes a stopper 27 disposed between the two first rails 26 , and the stopper 27 acts on the end of the carrier removal position 5 to limit the product carrier 16 entering the carrier removal position 5 .

[0114] In order to allow the product carrier 16 to stop at the carrier removal position 5, when the first track 26 carries the product carrier 16 into the carrier removal position 5, the stopper 27 acts on the end of the carrier removal position 5 to limit the product carrier 16 entering the carrier removal position 5, so that the product carrier 16 will not leave the carrier removal position 5.

[0115] In some specific embodiments, the carrier clamp 15 includes a fixed block 28 positioned and connected to the movable end of the rotating module 14. A cylinder 29 is provided at both ends of the fixed block 28. The movable end of each cylinder 29 is positioned and connected to a clamping block 4.

[0116] The two cylinders 29 move simultaneously to move the corresponding clamping blocks 4 away from each other, thereby achieving the purpose of opening. Afterwards, the two clamping blocks 4 close together to clamp the product carrier 16.

[0117] Working principle:

[0118] When the product carrier 16 is placed onto the first streamline 1, the head end 17 of the product carrier 16 is aligned with the first streamline 1 and then enters the first streamline 1. As the first streamline 1 flows, the product carrier 16 moves to the carrier removal position 5 and stops. After that, the motion module 13 guides the rotation module 14 and the carrier clamp 15 to move to the carrier removal position 5, and then the carrier clamp 15 clamps the product carrier 16 to the carrying part.

[0119] When the product carrier 16 is clamped onto the carrying portion, the product carrier 16 moves from the carrier removal position 5 to the safety position 6. Then, the rotating module 14 rotates the product carrier 16 to a set angle so that the head end 17 of the product carrier 16 is aligned with the inlet end. After that, the product carrier 16 can be lowered onto the carrying portion. (At this time, the carrying portion can be Figure 1 shown flush with the carrier removal position 5).

[0120] Subsequently, the pushing module 9 pushes the product carrier 16 to slide from the inlet end to the discharge end until it enters the carrier trolley 12 .

[0121] Since the carrier loading position 11 is directly opposite the unloading end, when the first product carrier 16 is stacked, the lifting unit 7, with the carrier support frame 8 and the pushing module 9, descends until the product carrier 16 is aligned with the bottom surface of the carrier trolley 12 (i.e., the carrier loading position 11). Subsequently, when the pushing module 9 pushes the product carrier 16 from the entrance end to the unloading end, it can enter the carrier trolley 12. When the first product carrier 16 is stacked, the lifting unit 7, with the carrier support frame 8, rises. After receiving the second product carrier 16, the lifting unit 7, with the carrier support frame 8, descends. At this time, the lowered position of the second product carrier 16 should be above the first product carrier 16, and the second product carrier 16 is stacked. This cycle continues until all product carriers 16 are stacked.

[0122] The above embodiments are intended only to illustrate the technical concepts and features of the present invention. Their purpose is to enable those familiar with the art to understand the contents of the present invention and implement them accordingly. They are not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any equivalent changes or modifications based on the spirit of the present invention are intended to be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
