Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of automation equipment, and in particular relates to a circuit board printer. Background Technology

[0002] A circuit board (PCB) is an important electronic component, primarily used for the electrical connection and support of electronic components. It establishes electrical connections between components by providing conductive lines on an insulating substrate, thus forming a complete circuit system. Circuit boards are used in various electronic devices, such as computers, mobile phones, televisions, and automobiles, and are widely used in a wide range of complex electronic devices.

[0003] In order to reduce production costs, many small and medium-sized enterprises rely on manual labor when processing or testing circuit boards. The circuit board must first be placed in the processing or testing station, and then the hard brushing unit, electronic component assembly unit or test pin board will be driven to complete the processing or testing of the circuit board. Finally, the circuit board must be manually removed from the processing or testing station and sent away. Therefore, the processing and testing efficiency is low. Utility Model Content

[0004] In order to solve the technical problems described in the background art, this utility model provides a circuit board printer.

[0005] The circuit board printer includes a base, on which a circuit printing station is mounted. The base also includes an incoming material conveyor line, an outgoing material conveyor line, and a loading / unloading frame. The incoming material conveyor line and the outgoing material conveyor line are located on opposite symmetrical sides of the circuit printing station. The loading / unloading frame is equipped with a first transverse belt module that spans above the incoming material conveyor line, the outgoing material conveyor line, and the loading / unloading frame. The first transverse belt module drives a first transverse frame, on which a first lifting screw module is mounted. The first lifting screw module drives a lifting frame, and the lifting frame is equipped with a first suction nozzle for adsorbing circuit boards from the incoming material conveyor line or the circuit printing station.

[0006] Based on the above technical solution, the present invention achieves the following beneficial effects:

[0007] 1. This utility model uses an incoming material conveyor line to move the circuit board to be processed to one side of the circuit printing station. Then, the first transverse belt module drives the first transverse frame to move and the first lifting screw module lifts the frame, so that the first suction nozzle can transport the circuit board to be processed into the circuit printing station. This realizes the loading of the circuit board to be processed into the circuit printing station for the circuit printing station to process. In addition, after the circuit printing station completes the processing of the circuit board, the first suction nozzle can also move the processed circuit board to the outgoing material conveyor line to send it away, thus realizing the unloading of the processed circuit board from the circuit printing station.

[0008] 2. Compared with manual loading and unloading, this invention can improve the efficiency and stability of loading and unloading. In addition, since this invention only requires a first transverse belt module spanning the material conveyor line, the discharge conveyor line and the loading and unloading frame, and a first lifting screw module installed on the first transverse frame, the first suction nozzle can realize loading and unloading. Therefore, compared with setting two independent loading and unloading equipment on conventional long lines, this invention can effectively reduce the equipment manufacturing and maintenance costs, and can also effectively reduce the space occupied by the equipment.

[0009] To further optimize the above technical solutions, they can be combined with one or more of the following implementation methods without conflict.

[0010] In some embodiments, the lifting frame is provided with two first suction nozzles, and the distance between the two first suction nozzles, the distance between the incoming material conveying line and the circuit printing station, and the distance between the outgoing material conveying line and the circuit printing station are all the same;

[0011] Based on the above technical solution, when the first transverse belt module drives the first transverse frame to move, and the left first suction nozzle moves to the top of the circuit board to be processed on the incoming material conveyor line, the right first suction nozzle simultaneously moves to the top of the circuit board that has been processed on the circuit printing station. Then, the first lifting screw module drives the lifting frame to descend, so that the left first suction nozzle can pick up the circuit board to be processed, while the right first suction nozzle simultaneously picks up the circuit board that has been processed on the circuit printing station. Afterwards, the first lifting screw module drives the lifting frame to reset, and the first transverse belt module drives the first transverse frame to move, so that the left first suction nozzle moves the circuit board to be processed to the top of the circuit printing station, while the right first suction nozzle simultaneously moves the circuit board that has been processed to the top of the outgoing material conveyor line. Then, the first lifting screw module drives the lifting frame to descend, so that the left first suction nozzle places the circuit board to be processed in the circuit printing station for processing, while the right first suction nozzle places the processed circuit board on the outgoing material conveyor line for delivery. Therefore, the efficiency of loading and unloading can be further improved.

[0012] In some embodiments, an NG conveyor line is also installed on the base, the NG conveyor line is located next to the discharge conveyor line, the loading and unloading frame is also equipped with a second transverse belt module, the second transverse belt module drives a second transverse frame, the second transverse frame is equipped with a second lifting screw module, the second lifting screw module drives a second suction nozzle, the second suction nozzle is used to adsorb the circuit board on the discharge conveyor line, and the second suction nozzle can move above the discharge conveyor line and above the NG conveyor line;

[0013] Based on the above technical solution, when the first suction nozzle transports the processed circuit board to the discharge conveyor line, if the circuit board has defects or has failed processing, the second transverse belt module drives the second transverse frame to move, causing the second suction nozzle to move to the side and above the discharge conveyor line. Subsequently, the second lifting screw module drives the second suction nozzle to descend, so that the second suction nozzle picks up the circuit board. After that, the second lifting screw module drives the second suction nozzle to reset, and the second transverse belt module drives the second transverse frame to move, so that the second suction nozzle moves the circuit board to the top of the NG conveyor line. After that, the second lifting screw module drives the second suction nozzle to descend, so that the second suction nozzle places the circuit board in the NG conveyor line and sends it away. This allows for the separate removal and classification of circuit boards with defects or that have failed processing after they are unloaded from the circuit printing station, thereby improving subsequent processing efficiency and facilitating subsequent handling.

[0014] In some embodiments, the second suction nozzle is longitudinally offset from the first suction nozzle;

[0015] Based on the aforementioned technical solution, the longitudinal movement ranges of the second suction nozzle and the first suction nozzle can be kept separate and free from conflict and interference.

[0016] In some embodiments, the conveyor belts of the incoming material conveyor line, the outgoing material conveyor line, and the NG conveyor line are provided with slots, and trays are placed in the slots. The trays are used to place circuit boards to be processed or processed.

[0017] In some embodiments, a plurality of the circuit boards are stacked on the tray;

[0018] Based on the above technical solutions, the incoming material conveyor line, outgoing material conveyor line, and NG conveyor line can transport circuit boards more stably.

[0019] Based on the above technical solutions, the incoming material conveyor line, the outgoing material conveyor line, and the NG conveyor line can transport stacked circuit boards, and the circuit boards can be stacked on the incoming material conveyor line, the outgoing material conveyor line, and the NG conveyor line, thereby increasing the material preparation capacity of the incoming material conveyor line and the output capacity of the outgoing material conveyor line and the NG conveyor line, so as to further improve the loading and unloading efficiency.
