Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of PIN pin installation, and in particular to a PIN pin installation mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] A pin is a metallic material in a connector used to conduct electricity (signals) through a conductor.

[0003] PIN pins are generally not used alone; they are mostly arranged and combined and then fixed to a substrate. A common processing method is to open several mounting holes in the substrate, place the PIN pins one by one into the mounting holes, and then fix them. The characteristic of PIN pins is that they are extremely small, and there are problems such as inconvenience in grasping them and easy deformation of PIN pins when grasping them during the assembly process, making it difficult to guarantee the assembly quality. The inventor aims to provide a technical solution to solve this problem. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a PIN mounting mechanism, which has the advantages of realizing the assembly of PIN pins and substrate and avoiding deformation of PIN pins during the assembly process.

[0005] To achieve the above and other related objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: a PIN pin mounting mechanism, comprising:

[0006] Vibrating feeder;

[0007] The suction block has a horizontally oriented receiving groove at its bottom and an air intake channel connected to an external air intake device inside the suction block. The air intake channel is in communication with the receiving groove.

[0008] A first drive assembly for driving the suction block to move to pick up PIN needles from the vibrating tray;

[0009] A rotating component has a placement slot on it. The rotating component reciprocates, causing the placement slot to switch back and forth between a horizontal and a vertical state.

[0010] A carrier for holding the base to which the PIN pins are to be installed; and,

[0011] The mounting assembly is used to extract PIN pins from the placement slot and transfer the PIN pins to the base when the placement slot is in a vertical position.

[0012] With the above technical solution, the PIN needle is initially placed in the vibrating tray. The suction block is driven by the first drive component to move into the vibrating tray and pick up the PIN needle into the receiving groove. Then, the first drive component drives the suction block to move and place the PIN needle into the placement groove. After the rotating component rotates, the placement groove is in a vertical state. At this time, the axis of the PIN needle is also set in the vertical direction and parallel to the mounting hole pre-drilled on the substrate. Then, the mounting component picks up the PIN needle from the placement groove and places the PIN needle into the mounting hole. This solution picks up the PIN needle by air suction throughout the process, and the PIN needle is not easily deformed during the transfer process.

[0013] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first driving assembly includes: a rotary drive for driving the suction block to rotate to adjust the angle of the receiving groove; and a first robotic arm, wherein the rotary drive is disposed at the end of the first robotic arm.

[0014] With the above technical solution, since the PIN needles are at different angles in the vibrating tray, the rotary drive needs to drive the suction block to rotate to adjust the angle of the receiving groove so that the angle of the receiving groove corresponds to the PIN needle to be picked up. When placing the PIN needle in the placement groove, the rotary drive needs to drive the suction block to rotate so that the receiving groove is parallel to the placement groove.

[0015] In one embodiment of this utility model, the rotary drive component is configured as a servo motor.

[0016] The above technical solution enables the servo motor to drive the suction block to rotate.

[0017] In one embodiment of the present invention, the first driving component is controlled by a control system, which includes: a controller; and a vision camera electrically connected to the controller. The vision camera is located directly above the vibrating tray, positions the PIN pins, and feeds back the position information to the controller.

[0018] Through the above technical solution, the vision camera detects the position of the PIN pins in the vibrating tray and feeds the position information back to the controller. The controller controls the movement of the robotic arm based on the received position information, so that the robotic arm drives the suction block to the position of the PIN pin to be picked up.

[0019] In one embodiment of the present invention, two rotating members are provided, and the two rotating members are mounted opposite to each other on a rotating platform. The rotating platform reciprocates to allow the two rotating members to alternate positions.

[0020] Through the above technical solution, the two rotating parts alternately replace each other. While one rotating part is installing the PIN, the other rotating part is transferring the PIN from the placement slot to the base, thereby improving the installation efficiency.

[0021] In one embodiment of the present invention, the installation assembly includes: an air suction nozzle, the air suction channel of which is adapted to the size of the PIN needle, and a limiting ring fixed in the air suction channel to limit the depth to which the PIN needle is sucked in; and a second robotic arm, the air suction nozzle being disposed at the end of the second robotic arm and driven to move by the second robotic arm.

[0022] With the above technical solution, during the process of transferring the PIN needle from the placement slot to the substrate, the second robotic arm drives the air suction nozzle to move to the position of the placement slot, sucks the PIN needle into the air suction channel, and the limiting ring restricts the position of the PIN needle. After the robotic arm drives the air suction nozzle to move and put the PIN needle into the mounting hole opened on the substrate, the suction stops to complete the installation.

[0023] In one embodiment of the present invention, the carrier is configured as a carrier plate, and the upper surface of the carrier plate is provided with a positioning groove adapted to the size of the base.

[0024] By using the above technical solution, the substrate can be positioned and installed quickly and conveniently by placing it in the positioning groove.

[0025] In one embodiment of the present invention, the rotating component is provided with an air suction hole, which is connected to the placement groove and to an external air suction device. The air suction hole is used to adsorb the PIN needle into the placement groove.

[0026] The above technical solution prevents the PIN pin from falling out of the placement slot during the reciprocating rotation of the rotating part, thus improving stability.

[0027] As described above, the PIN mounting mechanism of this utility model has the following beneficial effects:

[0028] The PIN is initially placed in the vibrating tray. The suction block is driven by the first drive component to move into the vibrating tray and pick up the PIN into the receiving groove. Then, the first drive component drives the suction block to move and place the PIN in the placement groove. After the rotating component rotates, the placement groove is in a vertical state. At this time, the axis of the PIN is also set in the vertical direction and parallel to the mounting hole pre-drilled on the substrate. Then, the mounting component picks up the PIN from the placement groove and places the PIN in the mounting hole. In this solution, the PIN is picked up by air suction throughout the process, and the PIN is not easily deformed during the transfer process. Attached Figure Description

Those skilled in the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of this utility model from the content disclosed in this specification. It should be noted that, unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.

[0035] Please see Figure 1 This utility model provides a PIN pin mounting mechanism, comprising:

[0036] The table 14 is equipped with a vibrating tray 1. PIN pins are placed in the vibrating tray 1 in batches. The specific structure of the vibrating tray 1 is based on the flexible vibrating tray disclosed in Chinese Utility Model Patent No. CN217229063U. The specific function of the vibrating tray 1 is to shake the stacked PIN pins apart and make them easier to grasp.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 It also includes a suction block 2, the bottom of which has a receiving groove 3 arranged in a horizontal direction, and a suction channel 4 connected to an external suction device is opened in the suction block 2 in a vertical direction. The suction channel 4 is connected to the receiving groove 3, so that the PIN needle is fixed in the receiving groove 3 by air suction.

[0038] Please see Figure 1 It also includes a rotary table 11 rotatably connected to the platform 14. The rotation axis of the rotary table 11 is set in the vertical direction. The rotary table 11 is connected to a first servo motor for driving its rotation. Two rotating parts 6 are arranged opposite each other on the rotary table 11. The rotating parts 6 are hinged to the rotary table 11 and the hinge axis is set in the horizontal direction. Each rotating part 6 is individually connected to a second servo motor for driving its rotation. The rotating part 6 has a placement slot 7 for accommodating PIN pins. The second servo motor drives the rotating part 6 to rotate back and forth by 90 degrees, so that the placement slot 7 switches back and forth between the horizontal and vertical states.

[0039] The rotating part 6 has an air suction hole, which is perpendicular to and connected to the placement groove 7. The air suction hole is connected to an external air suction device to attract the PIN needle into the placement groove 7, thereby preventing the PIN needle from falling out of the placement groove 7 when the placement groove 7 is switched between horizontal and vertical states.

[0040] Please see Figure 1 It also includes a first drive assembly 5 for driving the suction block 2 to move to pick up PIN needles from the vibrating feed pan 1 and place the PIN needles into the placement slot 7 when the placement slot 7 is in a horizontal state. The first drive assembly 5 includes: a first robotic arm 52 mounted on the platform 14, a first mounting bracket fixed to the end of the first robotic arm 52, and the first robotic arm 52 driving the first mounting bracket to move; and a rotary drive 51 for driving the suction block 2 to rotate to adjust the angle of the receiving slot 3. The rotary drive 51 is configured as a third servo motor, the cylinder part of the rotary drive 51 is fixed to the first mounting bracket, and the rotating shaft is fixed to the suction block 2.

[0041] Please see Figure 1 The first drive component 5 is controlled by the control system, which includes a controller and a vision camera 10 electrically connected to the controller. The vision camera 10 is located directly above the vibrating material tray 1, locates the position information of the PIN needle and feeds it back to the controller. The controller controls the first robotic arm 52 to move the suction block 2 to the position of the PIN needle to be sucked.

[0042] Please see Figure 1 It also includes a carrier 8 for placing the base to be installed with PIN pins. The carrier 8 is fixed to the platform 14 with screws for easy replacement according to different bases. The carrier 8 is set as a carrier plate. A positioning groove adapted to the size of the base is opened on the upper surface of the carrier 8. The base can be positioned and installed by placing the base in the positioning groove.

[0043] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3It also includes a mounting assembly 9 for picking up PIN needles from the placement slot 7 and transferring them to the base when the placement slot 7 is in a vertical state. The mounting assembly 9 includes: an air nozzle 91 connected to an external suction device, the air suction channel 12 of the air nozzle 91 being adapted to the size of the PIN needle, and a limiting ring 13 fixed in the air suction channel 12 to limit the depth to which the PIN needle is sucked in. In this embodiment, the length of the portion of the air suction channel 12 that accommodates the PIN needle is less than the length of the PIN needle, so that the portion of the PIN needle is exposed outside the air nozzle 91; and a second robotic arm 92 mounted on the platform 14, the air nozzle 91 being mounted at the end of the second robotic arm 92 and driven to move by the second robotic arm 92. The second robotic arm 92 is also controlled to move by a controller, the controller having the positions of the mounting holes on the base pre-inputted in it. The controller controls the second robotic arm 92 to sequentially place the PIN needles into all the mounting holes.

[0044] The PIN needle of this utility model is initially placed in the vibrating material tray 1. The suction block 2 is driven by the first driving component 5 to move into the vibrating material tray 1 and suck the PIN needle into the receiving groove 3. Then, the first driving component 5 drives the suction block 2 to move and place the PIN needle into the placement groove 7. After the rotating component 6 rotates, the placement groove 7 is in a vertical state. At this time, the axis of the PIN needle is also set in the vertical direction and parallel to the mounting hole pre-opened on the base. Then, the mounting component 9 sucks the PIN needle from the placement groove 7 and places the PIN needle into the mounting hole. This solution sucks the PIN needle through air suction throughout the process, and the PIN needle is not easily deformed during the transfer process.

[0045] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.
