Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the electronics manufacturing sector, flexible printed circuits (FPCs) are widely used in various electronic products. With the miniaturization and multifunctionality of electronic products and the continuous expansion of production scale, the requirements for FPC production efficiency and quality control are becoming increasingly higher.

[0003] Traditional FPC board testing relies heavily on manual labor for loading and unloading. Operators manually place the FPC boards to be inspected in the testing area. After testing is complete, they sort and remove them into containers for either good (OK) or defective (NG) products. This manual approach presents numerous drawbacks. First, manual labor is relatively slow, making it difficult to meet the rapid and efficient production cycles required for large-scale production. This can easily become a bottleneck in the entire production process, limiting capacity expansion. Second, manual labor has limited precision. During the process of picking and placing FPC boards, human error can cause damage to the boards, such as scratches and bends. This reduces product yields and increases production costs. Furthermore, prolonged manual labor can easily lead to fatigue, further compromising accuracy and stability. Labor costs contribute significantly to a company's overall costs.

[0004] To overcome these issues, the application of automation technology in FPC board production is becoming increasingly popular. Automated loading and unloading equipment can precisely handle the gripping, handling, and sorting of FPC boards, significantly improving production efficiency, reducing product defects caused by human factors, lowering production costs, and improving the stability and reliability of the overall production process. Therefore, developing efficient automatic loading and unloading equipment specifically for FPC board testing is of great practical significance, meeting the growing demand for automated production in the electronics manufacturing industry and enhancing companies' competitiveness in the market.

[0036] The functional operation area 5 is integrated with a grabbing mechanism 6, an FPC board discharge mechanism 7, and an FPC board unloading mechanism 8. The FPC board unloading mechanism 8 has an OK product material box 9 and an NG product material box 10. The grabbing mechanism 6 is used to grab the FPC board to be tested on the FPC board discharge mechanism 7 to the test operation area 4, and take the FPC board after testing on the test operation area 4 out to the OK product material box 9 or the NG product material box 10.

[0037] In the technical solution of the present utility model, the design of the automatic loading and unloading equipment for testing FPC boards first focuses on the overall structural layout, and constructs a first mounting platform 2 and a second mounting platform 3 inside the cabinet 1. This layered design provides a basic framework for the division of different functional areas. The test operation area 4 on the first mounting platform 2 is the core area for performing FPC board performance testing, while the functional operation area 5 of the second mounting platform 3 integrates multiple key functional modules, among which the grabbing mechanism 6 serves as the core material transfer unit. Its design principle is based on mechanical motion control and positioning technology. It is equipped with precise driving devices, such as motors, cylinders, etc., and by controlling the motion parameters of these driving devices, such as stroke, speed, force, etc., it can achieve precise grabbing of the FPC board. At the same time, combined with the position sensor The sensor can monitor the position information of the material grabbing mechanism 6 in real time to ensure its positioning accuracy when grabbing and placing the FPC board. The FPC board discharge mechanism 7 provides an initial placement position for the FPC board to be tested. Its structural design facilitates the material grabbing mechanism 6 to quickly and stably obtain materials. The OK product box 9 and the NG product box 10 in the discharge mechanism are used to store qualified and unqualified products after testing, respectively. Their layout is adapted to the movement path of the material grabbing mechanism 6, so that after the material is taken out of the test operation area 4, the material grabbing mechanism 6 can accurately place the FPC board into the corresponding box according to the test results. The control system of the entire equipment coordinates the action sequence and time intervals between each mechanism through preset program instructions to realize an automated process cycle from discharge, grabbing, testing to discharge.

[0038] In summary, this FPC board test automatic loading and unloading equipment has:

[0039] Improve production efficiency: Automatic loading and unloading equipment replaces manual operation, avoiding the problem of slow manual operation. It can continuously operate according to the set fast and efficient production rhythm, greatly improving the test processing speed of FPC boards, effectively breaking through the production capacity bottleneck of traditional manual loading and unloading in large-scale production, and improving overall production efficiency;

[0040] Improve product quality: Compared with the limited precision of manual operation, the precise motion control of the gripping mechanism 6 and other components can effectively reduce the damage of FPC boards such as scratches and bends caused by improper gripping and placement, reduce the product defect rate, thereby improving the product qualification rate, ensuring stable and reliable product quality, and helping to enhance the company's product quality image and market competitiveness;

[0041] Reduce production costs: On the one hand, it reduces product losses caused by manual operation errors and reduces the cost of raw material waste; on the other hand, automated equipment can operate stably for a long time, reducing dependence on a large number of manual labor and reducing the proportion of labor costs in the total cost of the enterprise, thus achieving effective control and reduction of production costs from multiple aspects;

[0042] Enhanced production stability: Automated equipment is not affected by factors such as manual fatigue and emotions, and can always maintain a stable operating state and accuracy, ensuring the stability and reliability of the entire FPC board testing and loading and unloading process, which helps to accurately execute the company's production plan and standardize production management, providing strong support for the company's production operations.

[0043] In the embodiment of the present invention, the material grabbing mechanism 6 includes a robot arm 11 , and a driving end of the robot arm 11 is connected to a first suction cup assembly 32 .

[0044] The robot arm, as the core motion execution component of the grabbing mechanism 6, has multi-degree-of-freedom motion capabilities and can accurately move to various target positions such as the FPC board discharge mechanism 7, the test operation area 4 and the FPC board unloading mechanism 8 in three-dimensional space. The first suction cup assembly 32 connected to the driving end uses the vacuum adsorption principle to grab the FPC board. When the robot arm receives the control system instruction, it moves to the top of the FPC board discharge mechanism 7. The first suction cup assembly 32 generates vacuum negative pressure to adsorb the FPC board to be tested, and then transports it to the test operation area 4 for testing. After the test is completed, the robot arm moves to the test operation area 4 again, adsorbs the tested FPC board, and transports it to the top of the OK product material box 9 or the NG product material box 10 according to the test results, releases the vacuum adsorption, and allows the FPC board to fall into the corresponding material box.

[0045] In one embodiment, two grabbing mechanisms 6 are provided, so as to realize the grabbing of the FPC board to be tested and the grabbing of the FPC board after testing, thereby effectively improving efficiency. Specifically, when working, one grabbing mechanism 6 can focus on grabbing the FPC board to be tested from the FPC board discharge mechanism 7 and transferring it to the test operation area 4. At the same time, the other grabbing mechanism 6 can transport the FPC board that has completed the test in the test operation area 4 to the OK product box 9 or NG product box 10 of the unloading mechanism.

[0046] In one embodiment, the first suction cup assembly 32 includes a flip structure having a front suction cup 12 and a rear suction cup 13, wherein the flip structure includes a bracket 14, a flip plate 15 is provided on the inner side of the bracket 14, and the front suction cup 12 and the rear suction cup 13 are provided on both end surfaces of the flip plate 15;

[0047] The two sides of the flip plate 15 are respectively connected to the bracket 14 with a servo motor power component 16 and a rotating component 17.

[0048] The robot arm in the grabbing mechanism 6 serves as the basic motion execution component, has multi-degree-of-freedom motion capabilities, and can move flexibly in three-dimensional space, so as to accurately locate the corresponding positions of the FPC board discharge mechanism 7, the test operation area 4 and the FPC board unloading mechanism 8. The flip structure connected to its drive end is specially designed for the characteristics of the FPC board. The bracket 14 provides a stable installation base and support structure for the flip plate 15. The servo motor power component 16 and the rotating component 17 on both sides of the flip plate 15 work together. The servo motor outputs precise torque and rotation angle according to the instructions of the control system, and drives the flip plate 15 to perform a 180-degree flip movement through the rotating component 17. The front suction cup 12 and the back suction cup 13 are respectively installed on the upper and lower end surfaces of the flip plate 15, and the FPC board is grasped by the vacuum adsorption principle; when working, the front suction cup 12 moves to the top of the FPC board discharge mechanism 7 under the control of the robot arm. , the FPC board to be tested is grabbed by the vacuum adsorption principle, and then the robot arm moves to the test operation area 4. The flip plate 15 is driven by the servo motor power component 16 and rotated by the rotating component 17, so that the reverse suction cup 13 reaches the appropriate position and grabs the tested FPC board, and then flips it again, and places the FPC board to be tested by the front suction cup 12 in the test operation area 4, ensuring that the test area can accurately contact the FPC board for testing. Then, the robot arm will move the reverse suction cup 13 with the tested FPC board to the position of the FPC board unloading mechanism 8, and finally, according to the test results, the reverse suction cup 13 accurately places the FPC board into the OK product box 9 or the NG product box 10. The entire process is precisely controlled by the control system of the equipment, including the action sequence, motion trajectory, flip angle, and adsorption and release of each component, so as to achieve efficient and accurate automatic loading and unloading and testing process of FPC boards.

[0049] Among them, the rotating component 17 can be a combination of a rotating shaft and a bearing. When the servo motor power component 16 is driven, the rotating shaft drives the flip plate 15 to rotate under the support of the bearing, thereby realizing the position switching of the front suction cup 12 and the back suction cup 13 to complete the grabbing and placing actions of the FPC boards to be tested and those that have been tested; the rotating component 17 can also be a synchronous belt transmission mechanism, or a gear transmission mechanism, etc., which is not limited here.

[0050] In the embodiment of the present invention, a visual inspection mechanism 18 is further integrated on the functional operation area 5. The visual inspection mechanism 18 is close to the FPC board unloading mechanism 7 and is located on the moving path of the robot arm 11.

[0051] The visual detection mechanism 18 includes a first base 19 , and a camera 20 and a light source 21 disposed on the first base 19 .

[0052] The first base 19 of the visual inspection mechanism 18 provides a stable mounting platform for the camera 20 and light source 21, ensuring they maintain a relatively fixed positional relationship during operation. The camera 20, as the core image acquisition component, features high resolution and rapid imaging capabilities, enabling it to photograph the FPC board being picked up by the robot arm. The light source 21 is used to provide uniform, appropriate lighting conditions to highlight the characteristic contours and details of the FPC board, facilitating clear image capture by the camera 20. When the robot arm grasps the FPC board and moves past the location of the visual inspection mechanism 18, the camera 20, triggered by the control system, photographs the FPC board. The captured image information is transmitted to the image processing system, which analyzes and processes the image using a preset algorithm to identify the deviation between the actual position coordinates of the FPC board on the robot arm and the preset standard position coordinates. Based on this deviation data, the control system calculates the required position adjustment for the robot arm and then sends instructions to the robot arm's drive device to make precise position compensation adjustments, thereby ensuring extremely high repeatability each time the FPC board is placed in the test work area 4.

[0053] In an embodiment of the present invention, the FPC board discharge mechanism 7 includes a first discharge plate 22, a Z-axis lifting component 23 embedded in the first discharge plate 22, and a detection module 24 arranged on the first discharge plate 22. The Z-axis lifting component 23 is used to lift the FPC board to be detected placed on the first discharge plate 22 to the sensing position of the detection module 24.

[0054] The first unloading plate 22 serves as a base for placing the FPC board. Its surface can be designed into a shape suitable for placing the FPC board, and it is provided with a positioning mechanism (such as a positioning groove) to ensure that a stack of FPC boards is relatively fixed in position when placed, facilitating subsequent lifting and grabbing operations; the Z-axis lifting component 23 is embedded in the first unloading plate 22 and operates in the Z-axis direction perpendicular to the plane of the first unloading plate 22. This layout enables the lifting component to directly act on the stack of FPC boards placed on the first unloading plate 22 without occupying too much external space, making the entire unloading mechanism compact; the detection module 24 is mounted on the first unloading plate 22, and its position matches the Z-axis lifting component 23 and the placement area of ​​the FPC board on the unloading plate. The detection module 24 can be a photoelectric sensor, which uses the principle of a photoelectric sensor to detect the presence of the FPC board by emitting and receiving light;

[0055] After the operator places a stack of FPC products on the first unloading plate 22, the four sides of the FPC products are positioned by positioning mechanisms such as positioning grooves to fix them in a planar position. At this time, the detection module 24 starts working, and the light emitted by the photoelectric sensor can be reflected or blocked by the top FPC board, thereby detecting the presence of the FPC board. As the robot arm grabs the top FPC board through the first suction cup assembly 32, the detection module 24 detects that the FPC board is taken away and sends a signal to the control system. After receiving the signal, the control system controls the Z-axis lifting assembly 23 to work. The Z-axis lifting assembly 23 moves upward in the Z-axis direction according to the command of the control system, and lifts the FPC board stack to the photoelectric sensing position, so that the FPC board of the next layer can be detected again by the detection module 24, preparing for the next grabbing operation of the robot arm.

[0056] Among them, the Z-axis lifting component 23 can be:

[0057] Screw nut jacking assembly: It consists of a screw, screw nut, motor, mounting base and related support structures. The screw is connected to the output shaft of the motor, and the screw nut is fixedly connected to the jacking platform or jacking component. When the motor drives the screw to rotate, the screw nut will move along the axis of the screw, thereby driving the jacking platform to achieve lifting movement in the Z-axis direction;

[0058] Linear module lifting assembly: It consists of a linear guide rail, a slider, a ball screw, a motor, a coupling, and a mounting bracket 14. The linear guide rail provides precise guidance. The slider is mounted on the guide rail and fixedly connected to the lifting platform. The ball screw serves as a transmission element and is driven by the motor through the coupling to convert the motor's rotational motion into linear motion of the slider and the lifting platform.

[0059] Or electric push rod lifting components, etc., are not limited here.

[0060] In the embodiment of the present invention, the FPC board unloading mechanism 8 includes an OK product placement component and an NG product placement component that are arranged in parallel;

[0061] The OK product placement assembly includes a first horizontal linear moving module 25 and the OK product material box 9 connected to the movable end of the first horizontal linear moving module 25;

[0062] The NG product placement assembly includes a second horizontal linear moving module 26 and the NG product material box 10 connected to the movable end of the second horizontal linear moving module 26;

[0063] The first unloading plate 22 is arranged in parallel with the OK product box 9 and the NG product box 10 .

[0064] The first horizontal linear motion module 25 and the second horizontal linear motion module 26 provide horizontal linear motion drive for the OK product material box 9 and the NG product material box 10, respectively. They are arranged parallel to each other within the functional operation area 5 of the equipment and parallel to the first material discharge plate 22. This parallel layout is conducive to the regularity of the entire equipment structure and the rational use of space, and facilitates the robot arm to transfer materials between different areas. The OK product material box 9 and the NG product material box 10 are respectively connected to the movable ends of the corresponding horizontal linear motion modules, so that the OK product material box 9 and the NG product material box 10 can be moved horizontally to a specific position under the drive of the corresponding horizontal linear motion modules to receive the FPC board from the robot arm.

[0065] When the test operation area 4 completes the test of the FPC board, the robot arm grabs the qualified FPC board and moves it to the top of the OK product placement component according to the test results. At this time, the first horizontal linear moving module 25 drives the OK product material box 9 to move to the appropriate receiving position according to the instructions of the control system, and the robot arm places the FPC board into the OK product material box 9; similarly, for the FPC board that fails the test, the robot arm grabs it and moves it to the top of the NG product placement component, and the second horizontal linear moving module 26 drives the NG product material box 10 to the corresponding position, and the robot arm puts the FPC board into the NG product material box 10. In this way, the classified unloading and orderly storage of the tested FPC boards are realized.

[0066] In the embodiment of the present utility model, the functional operation area 5 is further integrated with a paper spacer loading mechanism 27, which includes a second base 28, a Z-axis linear motion module 29 provided on the second base 28, a second suction cup assembly 30 connected to the movable end of the Z-axis linear motion module 29, and a second discharge plate 31 located directly below the second suction cup assembly 30;

[0067] The second unloading plate 31 is arranged parallel to the first unloading plate 22 .

[0068] The second base 28 provides a stable mounting foundation for the entire paper separator loading mechanism 27. A Z-axis linear motion module 29 is mounted on the second base 28, enabling precise linear motion in the vertical direction (Z axis). A second suction cup assembly 30 is connected to the movable end of the Z-axis linear motion module 29 and is driven by the Z-axis linear motion module 29 to move up and down. A second unloading plate 31 is located directly below the second suction cup assembly 30 and is parallel to the first unloading plate 22. This parallel arrangement facilitates coordination with the layout of other components in the equipment (OK product placement assembly and NG product placement assembly).

[0069] When the device needs a paper separator, the Z-axis linear motion module 29 starts working after receiving the command from the control system. It drives the second suction cup assembly 30 to move downward along the Z-axis, so that the second suction cup assembly 30 is close to the paper separators stacked on the second unloading plate 31. The second suction cup assembly 30 absorbs the top paper separator by generating a vacuum adsorption force. Then, the Z-axis linear motion module 29 drives the second suction cup assembly 30 to move upward with the paper separator. After that, the paper separator is moved to a designated position according to the specific needs of the device. For example, during the unloading process of the FPC board, the paper separator is placed between the FPC boards in the OK product box 9 or the NG product box 10 to play a role of isolation.

[0070] It can be understood that the OK product box 9, the NG product box 10 and the second discharge plate 31 are arranged in parallel and there is a height difference. The corresponding horizontal linear moving module is used to drive the OK product box 9 or the NG product box 10 to move and dislocate, thereby realizing the discharge operation of placing the FPC board into the corresponding position, or making it movable to the bottom of the second suction cup assembly 30 of the spacer paper loading mechanism 27, thereby realizing the discharge operation of placing the spacer paper into the corresponding position.

[0071] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential features of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and it is intended that all variations that come within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims be embraced within the present invention.
