Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automated production of electronic products, in particular to an automated product blanking device. Background Art
[0002] Electronic products need to go through multiple processing steps in the production line. For example, electronic products such as inductors and contactors need to go through operations such as shearing and welding. For electronic products, the cuts after shearing will oxidize, and the cuts and pins need to be soaked in a flux container and a tin pot respectively to complete the tinning treatment. After the pins are tinned, the products are placed on the tray. However, traditional electronic products such as sensors, inductors, contactors, etc. have a small appearance structure. After the product tinning test is completed, the general unloading operation is to manually unload the materials and place them on the tray, which requires a large labor cost.
[0003] Later, automated assembly lines were introduced, and robotic arms were used to automate the unloading of electronic products. However, this automation was not yet completely automated. Operations such as placing empty trays and transferring full trays required human participation. Empty trays needed to be placed manually, and full trays needed to be transferred manually. This process greatly reduced the degree of automation.
[0004] Therefore, it is urgent to design a device that can automatically place empty trays and transfer full trays to improve the overall production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0041] The unloading tray module 3 also includes an empty tray loading module 304, which includes a loading motor 3041 and a loading shaft 3042. The loading motor 3041 is driven by the loading shaft 3042. A pair of first driving wheels 3043 are provided at both ends of the loading shaft 3042. The first driving wheels 3043 are connected to a plurality of first driven wheels 3044 through a first belt 3045. A first receiving platform 3046 is provided below the first belts 3045 at both ends of the loading shaft 3042. The spacing between the first belts 3045 at both ends of the loading shaft 3042 matches the size of the tray 1. Figure 6 In this embodiment, there are four first driven wheels 3044 on one side, two of which are located on both sides of the first receiving platform 3046 and are distributed in a straight line, and the other two driven wheels are located below the receiving platform and are interspersed with belt transmission.
[0042] The unloading tray module 3 also includes a full tray unloading module 305, which includes an unloading motor 3051 and an unloading shaft 3052. The unloading motor 3051 is driven by the unloading shaft 3052. Both ends of the unloading shaft 3052 are connected to a second driving wheel 3053. The second driving wheel 3053 is connected to a plurality of second driven wheels 3054 through a second belt 3055. A second receiving platform 3056 is provided below the second belt 3055 at both ends of the unloading shaft 3052. The spacing between the second belts 3055 at both ends of the unloading shaft 3052 matches the size of the tray 1. Figure 6 In this embodiment, the number and arrangement direction of the plurality of second driven wheels 3054 on one side are consistent with those of the first driven wheels 3044 .
[0043] The first belts 3045 at both ends of the loading shaft 3042 are arranged on one side of the empty tray lifting module 302, and the first tray receiving plate 3022 is located between the two first belts 3045. The second belts 3055 at both ends of the unloading shaft 3052 are arranged on one side of the full tray lifting module 303, and the second tray receiving plate 3032 is located between the two second belts 3055.
[0044] In addition, in order to prevent the material tray 1 from tipping over during the lifting process, material tray guide plates 306 are provided on both sides of the material tray 1. A pair of material tray guide plates 306 are located on both sides of the material tray 1, and the top of the material tray 1 is also tilted outward to guide the placement and tipping.
[0045] Working principle:
[0046] During the unloading process, the stacked empty trays 1 are placed on the first belt 3045 in advance through the empty tray loading module 304. Under the action of the loading motor 3041, the first belt 3045 drives the stacked empty trays 1 to approach the position of the empty tray lifting module 302. Before approaching the empty tray lifting module 302, the first tray receiving plate 3022 of the empty tray lifting module 302 moves to the bottom of the first belt 3045 without affecting the movement of the empty tray 1.
[0047] When it moves to the position above the first tray receiving plate 3022, the loading motor 3041 stops working. At this time, the first tray receiving plate 3022 moves upward under the action of the first tray electric slide 3021 until the top tray 1 is at the unloading position. After the robot unloading module 2 unloads the product into the tray 1, when a tray 1 is full, the unloading tray gripper module 301 moves the full tray 1 from the empty tray lifting module 302 position to the full tray lifting module 303 position. Before the transfer, the second tray receiving plate 3032 of the full tray lifting module 303 moves upward to the destination. After the empty tray is transferred, the first tray receiving plate 3022 drives the tray 1 on it to move upward a certain distance to continue the next round of unloading.
[0048] When the second tray receiving plate 3032 of the full tray lifting module 303 moves to the bottom, that is, the full trays 1 at the full tray lifting module 303 are already stacked and the bottom tray 1 has contacted the second belt 3055, the unloading motor 3051 of the full tray unloading module 305 starts to work, and the second belt 3055 drives the stacked full trays 1 away from the full tray lifting module 303 until they move to the exit position and are manually transported away. After the trays 1 are away from the full tray lifting module 303, the second tray receiving plate 3032 moves upward to the receiving position to continue receiving the filled trays 1.
[0049] 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 shall be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
