Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of connector assembly, specifically to a fully automatic electronic connector assembly machine. Background Technology
[0002] Connectors, also known as PCBs, are essential for the use of PCBs. Connectors need to be installed on PCBs. A search revealed patent CN206643574U, which discloses an automatic connector assembly robot system. This system includes a computer, a material handling device, a robotic arm, an image acquisition device, and a conveyor belt. The computer is connected to the signal input terminal of the robotic arm via a robotic arm controller. The material handling device is mounted on the output terminal of the robotic arm. The conveyor belt is positioned above the material handling device, with components placed on one side and a PCB placed on the conveyor belt. The image acquisition device acquires the positional information of the PCB and components. The system also discloses its control method. The advantages of this invention are: through a reasonable structure and control method, this assembly robot system can achieve rapid and high-precision assembly of various components during operation. Compared with existing assembly systems, it has high stability, high precision, short cycle time, and strong anti-interference capabilities. However, when assembling the connector, the connector device needs to move the connector back and forth using a material handling device to pick up and place it. Since the device placed on the conveyor belt cannot be fixed, the two materials are prone to misalignment during assembly using the material handling device, making the assembly work inefficient and reducing the efficiency of the device. At the same time, the use of a single material handling device reduces the overall work efficiency. Utility Model Content

It solves the problem that when assembling connectors, a material handling device is needed to move the connectors back and forth to pick them up and place them. However, the device placed on the conveyor belt cannot be fixed in place, which easily leads to misalignment of the two materials during assembly, resulting in inefficient assembly and reduced device efficiency. Furthermore, the use of a single material handling device further reduces work efficiency.

[0018] Example 1
[0019] Please see Figure 1-4This utility model provides a fully automatic assembly machine for electronic connectors, including a base 1, a fixed seat 3, and a rotating plate 4. Multiple support rods 2 are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the bottom surface of the fixed seat 3, and the bottom of each support rod 2 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the base 1. The rotating plate 4 is rotatably connected to the interior of the fixed seat 3. Multiple placement slots 16 are evenly spaced inside the rotating plate 4. A feeding slot 14 and a discharging slot 15 are respectively provided inside the bottom surface of the fixed seat 3, and the distance between the feeding slot 14 and the discharging slot 15 is equal to the distance between adjacent placement slots 16. The top surface of the rotating plate 4 is horizontal to the top surface of the fixed seat 3, and the outer surface of the discharging slot 15... The part is equipped with a discharge conveyor belt 21, which is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed base 3. The top surfaces of the discharge conveyor belt 21, the placement groove 16, the discharge groove 15 and the feeding groove 14 are all horizontal. The size of the placement groove 16 matches the size of the material to be assembled. When assembling connectors on the PBC board, the PBC board is the material to be assembled. The material to be assembled is placed inside the placement groove 16 through the feeding groove 14. After processing, the placement groove 16 in this position moves to the discharge groove 15, so that the assembled material can be moved to the discharge conveyor belt 21 and the device can be taken out.
[0020] Example 2
[0021] In this embodiment, as Figure 1-4 As shown, three support seats 6 and three second support columns 8 are fixedly installed at equal intervals on the side wall of the base 1. The three support seats 6 correspond to the three placement slots 16 respectively, and a feeding conveyor belt 7 is fixedly installed on the upper end of each of the three support seats 6. The three second support columns 8 correspond to the positions of the three support seats 6 respectively. A reciprocating motor 20 is fixedly installed inside the upper end of the support seat 6. A rotating frame 9 is rotatably connected to the upper end of the support seat 6. The bottom of the rotating frame 9 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the reciprocating motor 20. The rotating frame 9 is U-shaped. Lifting grippers 10 are fixedly installed on both sides. The positions of the lifting grippers 10 correspond to the placement slots 16 and are respectively corresponding to different positions within the placement slots 16. When assembling connectors for materials to be assembled, the connectors move through the feeding conveyor belt 7. At the same time, the reciprocating motor 20 is turned on to make the rotating frame 9 rotate 180 degrees each time, so that the lifting grippers 10 can clamp the connectors on the feeding conveyor belt 7. Then, through the rotation of the reciprocating motor 20, the connectors are assembled with the materials to be assembled.
[0022] Example 3
[0023] In this embodiment, as Figure 1-4As shown, pusher plates 17 are slidably connected inside the placement trough 16. Return springs 18 are symmetrically fixedly installed inside the side walls of the placement trough 16. The ends of the return springs 18 are fixedly connected to the side walls of the pusher plates 17. The bottoms of the pusher plates 17 are slidably connected to the placement trough 16 and the discharge trough 15 in the fixed seat 3. A fixed plate 11 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the fixed seat 3. An electric telescopic rod 12 is fixedly installed on the side wall of the fixed plate 11. A pusher column 13 is fixedly installed on the output shaft of the electric telescopic rod 12. The electric telescopic rod 12 and the discharge trough 15 are on the same axis. Since the position of the electric telescopic rod 12 and the position of the discharge trough 15 are on the same axis, when discharging the assembled material, opening the electric telescopic rod 12 allows the pusher column 13 to easily push the pusher plates 17 on the opposite side, pushing the material in the placement trough 16 into the discharge conveyor belt 21.
[0024] Example 4
[0025] In this embodiment, as Figure 1-4 As shown, a first support column 5 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the fixed base 3, and a servo motor 19 is fixedly installed inside the upper end of the first support column 5. The output shaft of the servo motor 19 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the rotating plate 4 through the side wall of the fixed base 3. When the assembly work begins, the servo motor 19 is turned on to make the rotating plate 4 rotate. The rotation is stopped during installation. After one step of installation is completed, the rotation is started again.
[0026] It should be noted that in this embodiment, when using a fully automatic electronic connector assembly machine, such as Figure 1-4 As shown, when assembling connectors on a PBC board, the PBC board is the material to be assembled. The material to be assembled is placed inside the placement slot 16 through the feeding slot 14. The servo motor 19 is turned on to make the rotating plate 4 rotate. The rotation stops during installation. After one step of installation is completed, the rotation starts again. When assembling connectors on the material to be assembled, the connector moves through the feeding conveyor belt 7. At the same time, the reciprocating motor 20 is turned on to make the rotating frame 9 rotate 180 degrees each time. The lifting gripper 10 clamps the connector on the feeding conveyor belt 7. Then, through the rotation of the reciprocating motor 20, the connector is assembled with the material to be assembled. Since the position of the electric telescopic rod 12 is on the same axis as the position of the discharge slot 15, when discharging the assembled material, the electric telescopic rod 12 is turned on, and the pusher column 13 can push the pusher plate 17 on the opposite side to push the material in the placement slot 16 into the discharge conveyor belt 21, so that the assembled material can be easily taken out.
