Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an SMT production line, and more particularly to a multi-functional workbench. Background Technology

[0002] The description in this section provides only background information related to the disclosure of this utility model and does not constitute prior art.

[0003] In the SMT production line, components such as resistors and capacitors to be installed need to be mounted on circuit boards, which are then transported by corresponding tracks. Before the components such as resistors and capacitors are installed, they usually need to be temporarily placed and stored. Of course, in some cases, some circuit boards also have similar placement requirements and take up more space.

[0004] In existing technologies, components such as resistors and capacitors are typically placed on workbenches. These workbenches are assembled and placed around the tracks on the SMT production line. When operators need to retrieve components, they have to stand up, and in some cases, they need to move the workbenches, which is inefficient and can easily lead to operator fatigue. At the same time, existing workbenches occupy a large area and lack compactness.

[0005] It should be noted that the above introduction to the technical background is only for the purpose of providing a clear and complete explanation of the technical solutions of this utility model and facilitating understanding by those skilled in the art. It should not be assumed that these technical solutions are known to those skilled in the art simply because they have been described in the background section of this utility model. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a multifunctional workbench that, by combining a track mechanism that runs through the frame with a tabletop mechanism, facilitates the handling of components, saves the operator's physical strength, and occupies little space.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model discloses a multifunctional workbench; the multifunctional workbench includes:

[0008] Base;

[0009] A track mechanism, comprising multiple track units arranged in parallel on the top surface of the base;

[0010] The frame is composed of multiple horizontally extending beams and vertically extending columns connected together, wherein at least one of the beams is arranged transversely through the top of the base and has a first vertical distance between the track mechanism;

[0011] The table mechanism includes a first side table, a second side table, and a top table. The first side table and the second side table are disposed on the top surface of the base and are respectively disposed on both sides of the track mechanism and extend along the extension direction of the track mechanism. The side of the first side table or the second side table away from the track mechanism has a workstation for the operator to move around. The top table is mounted on the frame and has a first vertical distance between it and the track mechanism.

[0012] As a further description of the above technical solution, the table mechanism also includes an auxiliary table, which is disposed on the frame and extends along an extension direction perpendicular to the track mechanism, and is disposed to avoid the projection area of ​​the base.

[0013] As a further description of the above technical solution, there are multiple auxiliary tabletops, which are stacked and spaced apart along the vertical direction on one side of the base.

[0014] As a further description of the above technical solution, at least one of the auxiliary table panels is simultaneously connected to both the first side table panel and the second side table panel, and at least one of the auxiliary table panels is connected to the top table panel.

[0015] As a further description of the above technical solution, one of the track units is connected to the second side table, and a pulley is provided at the connection between the second side table and the base, so that the second side table can drive one of the track units to reciprocate perpendicular to the extension direction of the track mechanism under the drive of external force, thereby changing the width of the distance between the corresponding two track units.

[0016] As a further description of the above technical solution, the side of the first side table away from the track mechanism has a workstation for the operator to move around, and a control unit for controlling the start and stop of the track mechanism is provided on the base of the first side table.

[0017] As a further description of the above technical solution, the bottom of the base away from the top surface has a clearance area, and a support plate that penetrates the base is provided in the clearance area, the support plate extending along the extension direction of the track mechanism.

[0018] Based on the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0019] This utility model's multi-functional workbench integrates the track mechanism across the frame with the tabletop mechanism, making them appear as one unit on the projection surface. This results in a smaller footprint for the multi-functional workbench. Furthermore, the staggered heights of the multi-level tabletop mechanism allow operators to easily access components on the tabletop and quickly install them into the track mechanism area without having to get up, thus saving physical effort and indirectly improving the operational efficiency of the SMT production line.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-2 This embodiment describes a multifunctional workbench; wherein the multifunctional workbench includes:

[0029] Base 1;

[0030] The track mechanism 2 includes multiple track units 21, which are arranged in parallel on the top surface of the base 1.

[0031] Frame 3 is composed of multiple horizontally extending beams 31 and vertically extending columns 32 connected together, wherein at least one beam 31 is arranged to pass through the top of the base 1 and has a first vertical distance between it and the track mechanism 2.

[0032] The table mechanism 4 includes a first side table 41, a second side table 42, and a top table 43. The first side table 41 and the second side table 42 are disposed on the top surface of the base 1 and are respectively disposed on both sides of the track mechanism 2 and extend along the extension direction of the track mechanism 2. The side of the first side table 41 or the second side table 42 away from the track mechanism 2 has a workstation for the operator to move around. The top table 43 is mounted on the frame 3 and has a first vertical distance between the top table 43 and the track mechanism 2.

[0033] For the above structure, during installation, the operator can flexibly select the length dimensions of the corresponding beams 31 and columns 32 according to the actual needs of the site to meet the site requirements and match the actual area of ​​each table in the table mechanism 4 with the load-bearing requirements of the foundation.

[0034] With the above structure, during use, the operator only needs to sit on the outside of the first side table 41 or the second side table 42 and start the track mechanism 2. When the circuit board needs to be transported by the operator under the track unit 21 in the track mechanism 2 and passes the operator's position, the operator controls the track mechanism 2 to stop running through the control unit 12 installed on the operating base 1. At this time, the resistors, capacitors and other components at any corresponding position on the first side table 41, the second side table 42 and the top table 43 in the table mechanism 4 can be directly installed on the circuit board on the track unit 21. Then, the operator continues to control the track mechanism 2 to transport the processed circuit board out through the control unit 12.

[0035] During the above-described usage, when the operator wants to obtain components to be installed on the circuit board on the track, they only need to take them directly from the adjacent tabletop mechanism 4 around the track mechanism 2, such as the top tabletop 43 located on top of the track mechanism 2. This avoids the track mechanism 2 itself occupying too much projected area, and the operator does not need to get up and leave the workstation to retrieve components from elsewhere, making full use of the space of the track mechanism 2 and increasing the functionality and practicality of the multi-functional workbench as a temporary storage area. The top tabletop 43 and the track mechanism 2 have a first vertical distance, and in this embodiment, this first vertical distance is precisely the minimum distance required for the operator to process the circuit board on the surface of the track mechanism 2. This minimizes the distance between the top tabletop 43 and the track mechanism 2, allowing the operator to quickly pick up components from the top tabletop 43 without getting up or with only a slight movement, facilitating rapid installation and use.

[0036] Furthermore, the table mechanism 4 also includes an auxiliary table 44, which is mounted on the frame 3. The auxiliary table 44 extends along a direction perpendicular to the track mechanism 2 and is positioned to avoid the projection area of ​​the base 1. The main function of the auxiliary table 44 is to further expand the storage capacity of the table mechanism 4 by extending an additional space across the base 1 based on the existing frame 3. The retrieval distance of the auxiliary table 44 may be longer than that of other tables, but it is still superior to other existing tables that do not extend across the track mechanism 2. In most cases, components to be installed can be quickly retrieved without leaving the workstation.

[0037] Specifically, please see Figure 1There are multiple auxiliary tabletops 44, which are stacked and spaced vertically on one side of the base 1. At least one auxiliary tabletop 44 is simultaneously connected to the first side tabletop 41 and the second side tabletop 42, and at least one auxiliary tabletop 44 is connected to the top tabletop 43. That is to say, in this embodiment, a multi-layered tabletop mechanism 4 with T-shaped and U-shaped placement surfaces is set up to maximize the utilization of the frame 3.

[0038] Furthermore, one of the track units 21 is connected to the second side table 42, and a pulley 421 is provided at the connection between the second side table 42 and the base 1, so that the second side table 42 can drive one of the track units 21 to reciprocate perpendicular to the extension direction of the track mechanism 2 under the drive of external force, thereby changing the width of the distance between the two corresponding track units 21. Please refer to the details. Figure 2 In the combination of one of the movable track units 21 and the second side table 42, the track unit 21 is connected to the box structure at the bottom of the second side table 42 by means of the fixed connecting frame of L. The bottom of the box structure is directly connected to four pulleys 421. The pulleys 421 can be set as universal wheels or as unidirectional wheels that can only move in the direction perpendicular to the extension of the track mechanism 2.

[0039] Further, please see Figure 1 The first side table 41, away from the track mechanism 2, has a workstation for the operator, and a control unit 12 for starting and stopping the track mechanism 2 is installed on the base 1 of the first side table 41. The control unit 12 is located at the bottom, near the operator's right hand, for easy selection and control. Simultaneously, the base 1 of the first side table 41 can be configured as a closed assembly center for the control unit circuitry or equipment, allowing the operator to quickly inspect equipment in case of malfunction.

[0040] Furthermore, the bottom of the base 1, away from the top surface, has a clearance area, in which a support plate 11 extends through the base and along the extension direction of the track mechanism 2. The support plate 11 allows for efficient use of the bottom area of ​​the multi-functional workbench, enabling the placement of large products or miscellaneous items on the support plate 11 in the clearance area. The clearance area can also provide legroom for the operator, thus improving comfort.
