Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of flexible circuit board testing, and in particular to an automatic two-sided winding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, in the flexible circuit board industry, flexible circuit boards are mainly placed on trays and then transported along with the trays, moving from one tray to another according to process requirements. Traditional structures use dedicated configurations, meaning they can only use trays of specific sizes. Using other sizes requires structural modifications, making them incompatible with other sizes without modification. Furthermore, after each tray carrying the flexible circuit boards is changed, it must be removed before continuing. Therefore, an automatic tray collection mechanism compatible with the transport and collection of two different sized trays has been developed.

[0003] Therefore, it is essential to develop an automatic tray collection mechanism that is compatible with the conveying and collection of two different sizes of trays. This mechanism can not only collect the two types of trays separately, but also adjust the width of the conveyor track to accommodate the two different sizes of trays. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model proposes a two-sided automatic winding mechanism with high production efficiency and compatibility.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: an automatic tray collection mechanism with two sides, comprising a tray transfer frame, wherein the tray transfer frame includes symmetrically arranged tray placement slots, and a tray collection component is provided on each side of the tray placement slots. The tray collection component includes a tray collection frame, a first mounting plate and a second mounting plate, wherein the first mounting plate is fixedly installed with the tray collection frame, and a lateral adjustment component is provided inside the tray collection frame. The second mounting plate is slidably engaged with the lateral adjustment component. A conveyor belt is provided on the inner side of the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate, and a tray lifting component is provided between the two sets of conveyor belts. Several tray support components are provided on the upper end of the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate. The tray support components support and stack the trays lifted by the tray lifting components. A dial component corresponding to the tray placement slot is provided at the front end of the tray transfer frame, and the dial component pushes the trays in the tray placement slots onto the outer conveyor belt.

[0006] Based on the above, the second mounting plate slides in conjunction with the lateral adjustment component, allowing adjustment of the distance between the first and second mounting plates according to the size requirements of the tray, thus accommodating trays of different sizes. This structure improves the compatibility of the invention, adapting to more tray models. Furthermore, the tray lifting component and support component enable automatic tray stacking, eliminating the need for manual tray removal in real time, automating the process and increasing work efficiency.

[0007] Furthermore, the material tray lifting assembly includes a lifting cylinder, a lifting support plate, a linear bearing, and a cylinder fixing plate. The cylinder fixing plate is fixedly engaged with the lifting cylinder, and the cylinder fixing plate is slidably engaged with the lateral adjustment assembly through the linear bearing. One end of the linear bearing is provided with a clamping block, and the lifting support plate is fixedly installed with the output shaft of the lifting cylinder.

[0008] Based on the above, the lifting support plate, driven by the lifting cylinder, lifts the material tray into the support plate assembly. After adjusting the distance between the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate, the position of the lifting support plate can be adjusted by the cylinder fixing plate in conjunction with the linear bearing, so that the lifting support plate is in the middle position between the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate, thus preventing the material tray from falling due to instability during the lifting process.

[0009] Furthermore, the tray support assembly includes a tray support hinge, a hinge mounting block, and a blocking plate. One side of the tray support hinge is fixedly installed with the hinge mounting block, and the other side protrudes from the hinge mounting block. The blocking plate is disposed on the fixed side of the tray support hinge, and the blocking edge extends beyond the rotation axis of the tray support hinge. The tray closing assembly includes four sets of the tray support assemblies. The four hinge mounting blocks in the four sets of tray support assemblies are respectively fixedly installed at the front and rear ends of the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate.

[0010] Based on the above, during the process of the lifting plate raising the material tray, the support hinge retracts upward under the thrust of the material tray. When the material tray rises to its limit position, the support hinge falls under its own weight, flattening and opening. Subsequently, the lifting cylinder descends, and the material tray falls to the support surface of the support hinge, where the support hinge supports the material tray. The blocking plate is used to block the support hinge, preventing it from rotating beyond 90° and thus failing to return to its initial state.

[0011] Furthermore, each set of the support plate assembly is provided with a material tray limiting component on one side. The four sets of material tray limiting components cooperate to form a material tray limiting groove. The four sets of material tray limiting components are respectively fixedly installed on the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate through limiting mounting plates. The limiting mounting plates are provided with adjustment grooves.

[0012] Based on the above, the material tray limiting groove limits the material tray to prevent it from slipping and causing instability and collapse. The limiting mounting plate is provided with an adjustment groove, which can be used to adjust the size of the material tray limiting groove.

[0013] Furthermore, the dial assembly includes a dial position adjustment component, an auxiliary slide rail, a rodless cylinder, and a dial block. The dial position adjustment component is slidably engaged with the auxiliary slide rail. The rodless cylinder is fixedly mounted on the material tray transfer frame. The moving slider of the rodless cylinder is fixedly engaged with the dial position adjustment component. The dial block is fixedly connected to the dial position adjustment component via a connecting rod.

[0014] Based on the above, the dial position adjustment component slides in conjunction with the auxiliary slide rail, and the dial position adjustment component slides under the drive of the rodless cylinder, thereby driving the dial block to push the material tray into the conveyor belt.

[0015] Furthermore, a positioning sensor is provided at the upper end of the tray limiting component.

[0016] Based on the above, the positioning sensor is used to detect the height of the stacked trays. When the height of the trays reaches the set height, the tray collection mechanism stops working and waits for the staff to come and clean the trays.

[0017] To more clearly illustrate the above-mentioned features of this utility model and the objectives it aims to achieve, the present utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. Attached Figure Description

[0026] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, an automatic tray-collecting mechanism with two sides includes a tray transfer frame 1. The tray transfer frame 1 includes symmetrically arranged tray placement slots 2. Tray-collecting components 4 are provided on the sides of each tray placement slot 2. Each tray-collecting component 4 includes a tray-collecting frame 5, a first mounting plate 6, and a second mounting plate 7. The first mounting plate 6 is fixedly installed to the tray-collecting frame 5. A lateral adjustment component 8 is provided inside the tray-collecting frame 5. The second mounting plate 7 is slidably engaged with the lateral adjustment component 8. The first mounting plate 6 and the second mounting plate 7... A conveyor belt 9 is provided on the inner side, and a drive motor is provided on the conveyor belt 9. A material tray lifting assembly 10 is also provided between the two sets of conveyor belts 9. Several support plate assemblies 11 are also provided on the upper end of the first mounting plate 6 and the second mounting plate 7. The support plate assemblies 11 support and stack the material trays lifted by the material tray lifting assembly 10. A dial assembly 3 corresponding to the material tray placement slot 2 is provided at the front end of the material tray transfer frame 1. The material trays in the material tray placement slot 2 are pushed onto the conveyor belt 9 by the dial assembly 3.

[0027] Preferably, the material tray lifting assembly 10 includes a lifting cylinder 12, a lifting support plate 13, a linear bearing 14, and a cylinder fixing plate 15. The cylinder fixing plate 15 is fixedly engaged with the lifting cylinder 12, and the cylinder fixing plate 15 is slidably engaged with the lateral adjustment assembly 8 through the linear bearing 14. One end of the linear bearing 14 is provided with a clamping fixing block 16, and the lifting support plate 13 is fixedly installed with the output shaft of the lifting cylinder 12.

[0028] Preferably, the tray support assembly 11 includes a tray support hinge 17, a hinge mounting block 18, and a blocking plate 19. One side of the tray support hinge 17 is fixedly installed with the hinge mounting block 18, and the other side protrudes from the hinge mounting block 18. The blocking plate 19 is disposed on the fixed side of the tray support hinge 17, and the blocking edge 20 extends beyond the rotation axis of the tray support hinge 17. The tray closing assembly 4 includes four sets of the tray support assemblies 11, and four of the hinge mounting blocks 18 in the four sets of tray support assemblies 11 are respectively fixedly installed on the first mounting plate 6 and the second mounting plate 7. During the process of the lifting plate 13 lifting the tray, the tray support hinge 17 closes upward under the thrust of the tray. When the tray rises to its limit position, the tray support hinge 17 falls under its own weight and opens horizontally. Subsequently, the lifting cylinder 12 descends, and the tray falls to the supporting surface of the tray support hinge 17, where the tray support hinge 17 supports the tray. The blocking piece 19 is used to block the support hinge 17, preventing the support hinge 17 from rotating more than 90°, so that it cannot return to its initial state.

[0029] Preferably, each set of the support plate assembly 11 is further provided with a tray limiting member 21 on one side, and a positioning sensor 30 is provided at the upper end of the tray limiting member 21. The four sets of tray limiting members 21 cooperate to form a tray limiting groove 22. The four sets of tray limiting members 21 are respectively fixedly installed on the first mounting plate 6 and the second mounting plate 7 by limiting mounting plates 23. The limiting mounting plates 23 are provided with adjustment grooves 24. The tray limiting groove 22 limits the tray to prevent the tray from slipping, which could lead to instability and collapse. At the same time, the size of the tray limiting groove 22 can be adjusted by the adjustment groove 24.

[0030] Preferably, the dial assembly 3 includes a dial position adjustment component 25, an auxiliary slide rail 26, a rodless cylinder 27, and a dial block 28. The dial position adjustment component 25 is slidably engaged with the auxiliary slide rail 26. The rodless cylinder 27 is fixedly mounted on the material tray transfer frame 1. The moving slider 29 of the rodless cylinder 27 is fixedly engaged with the dial position adjustment component 25. The dial block 28 is fixedly connected to the dial position adjustment component 25 via a connecting rod.

[0031] The specific implementation of this embodiment is as follows: After the material tray is loaded and unloaded, it waits to be collected in its designated tray placement slot 2 in the material tray transfer frame 1. Then, the rodless cylinder 27 pushes the dial block 28 to move the tray onto the conveyor belt 9 of the receiving assembly 4 on both sides. The drive motor rotates the conveyor belt 9, transporting the tray to the tray limiting slot 22. Simultaneously, the rodless cylinder 27 retracts, returning the dial assembly 3 to its original position. After the tray reaches below the tray limiting slot 22, the lifting cylinder 12 rises, lifting the tray and opening the support hinge 17. When the output shaft of the lifting cylinder 12 reaches its stroke limit, the tray rises to its limit position. At this point, the support hinge 17 falls flat due to its own weight. Subsequently, the lifting cylinder 12 descends, and the tray falls onto the support surface of the support hinge 17. The above actions are repeated to stack the trays. Furthermore, the lateral adjustment component 8 of the second mounting plate 7 is slidably engaged, allowing adjustment of the distance between the first mounting plate 6 and the second mounting plate 7 according to the size requirements of the tray, thereby adjusting the width of the tray limiting groove 22. The limiting mounting plate 23 is provided with an adjustment groove 24, which allows adjustment of the size of the tray limiting groove 22. This structure improves the compatibility of the present invention, enabling automatic collection of different types of trays.
