[0002] VCM spring sheets are mainly used in VCM modules of mobile phones, camcorders, and tablets to achieve autofocus. VCM motors, also known as voice coil motors, belong to the category of linear DC motors. The VCM spring sheet plays a crucial role in the VCM motor; by changing the magnitude of the DC current in the motor's coil, the tension position of the spring sheet can be controlled, thereby driving its up-and-down movement, adjusting the lens position, achieving precise focus, and ensuring image clarity. This spring sheet has excellent extension and elasticity and is an important component of the VCM module. Currently, VCM spring sheets generally need to be placed on a tray during the manufacturing process, which is mostly done manually, resulting in high labor costs. Therefore, an automatic placement device for VCM spring sheets is needed. Utility Model Content

[0006] The workbench is connected to legs on the front left and right sides, and to the machine frame via tripods on the rear two sides; the tripods are connected to the machine frame and the workbench respectively by bolts.

[0007] The fixed panel is connected to connecting ears on both the left and right sides, and two pushing devices are installed on the corresponding mounting panels.

[0008] The longitudinal slide rail is inserted into the workbench, and an outer cover is connected to the outer end of the longitudinal slide rail; the outer cover seals the longitudinal slide rail inside the workbench, and the outer cover is connected to the workbench by bolts.

[0011] The technical effect achieved by this utility model is as follows: In the process of using the VCM spring sheet mounting device of this utility model, the VCM spring sheet is conveyed to the front of the conveyor belt. Then, by turning on the second motor, the second motor drives the mounting frame to rotate so that the suction cup is positioned directly above the VCM spring sheet on the conveyor belt. Next, the second pump body and the suction pump are turned on. The second pump body controls the vertical telescopic push rod to extend, causing the suction cup to move down and pick up the VCM spring sheet. After the VCM spring sheet is picked up, the second pump body is started again to control the suction cup and the picked-up VCM spring sheet to move up. Then, the second motor drives the mounting bracket to rotate back to its original position. At this time, the suction cup is directly above the swing plate. Next, the VCM spring sheet that has been sucked up is placed on the swing plate, and then it rotates back to the conveyor belt to suck up a new VCM spring sheet. The longitudinal position of the swing plate can be changed by controlling the extension and retraction of the longitudinal telescopic push rod through the first pump body, thereby arranging the VCM spring sheets sucked up by the suction cup longitudinally on the swing plate. The VCM spring sheet of this utility model can be mechanically arranged on the swing plate through the above operation, which is more convenient and faster than manual arrangement, and its labor cost is relatively low.

Figure 6 , 7 The longitudinal slide rail 5 is inserted into the worktable 4, and the outer end of the longitudinal slide rail 5 is connected to the outer cover 41. The outer cover 41 seals the longitudinal slide rail 5 into the worktable 4, and the outer cover 41 is connected to the worktable 4 by bolts. The longitudinal slide rail 5 of this utility model adopts the above-mentioned connection structure, which facilitates subsequent disassembly.

[0026] A fixed panel 6 is longitudinally slidably connected to the longitudinal slide rail 5. Connecting ears 7 are connected to the sides of the fixed panel 6. Specifically, connecting ears 7 are connected to both the left and right sides of the fixed panel 6. A mounting panel 8 is connected to the front of the worktable 4. A pushing device corresponding to the connecting ears 7 and used to push the fixed panel 6 to move longitudinally is installed on the mounting panel 8. Specifically, two pushing devices are installed on the mounting panel 8. The pushing device includes a first pump body 9 and a longitudinal telescopic push rod 10 connected to the first pump body 9. The first pump body 9 is installed on the mounting panel 8, and the end of the longitudinal telescopic push rod 10 passes through the mounting panel 8 and connects to the connecting ears 7. The pushing device of this utility model controls the extension and retraction of the longitudinal telescopic push rod 10 through the first pump body 9, thereby controlling the fixed panel 6 to slide longitudinally along the longitudinal slide rail 5.

[0027] A mounting plate 11 is placed on the fixed panel 6. Specifically, two longitudinally arranged positioning blocks 61 are connected to the fixed panel 6. Two positioning slots 62 are opened below the mounting plate 11, each corresponding to one of the two positioning blocks 61. The positioning blocks 61 are inserted into the corresponding positioning slots 62. A mounting bracket 12 is rotatably connected to the side of the worktable 4. An air suction pump 21 is connected to the upper side of one side of the mounting bracket 12, and a second pump body 22 is connected to the upper side of the other side. A vertical telescopic push rod 23 is connected to the lower part of the second pump body 22, and the lower end of the vertical telescopic push rod 23 passes through the mounting bracket 1. 2. A suction cup 24 is installed, and the suction cup 24 is connected to the suction pump 21 through a pipe; a second motor 25 for controlling the rotation of the mounting frame 12 is connected below the workbench 4; the suction cup 24 is located directly above the swing plate 11, and the second motor 25 drives the mounting frame 12 to rotate so that the suction cup 24 is located above the conveyor belt 2; specifically, an extension platform 51 is connected to the side of the workbench 4, the second motor 25 is installed below the extension platform 51, and the upper end of the shaft of the second motor 25 passes through the extension platform 51 and is connected to the turntable 52, and the mounting frame 12 is fixed on the turntable 52.

Then, the second motor 25 is turned on, causing the mounting bracket 12 to rotate, positioning the suction cup 24 directly above the VCM spring sheet. Next, the second pump body 22 and the suction pump 21 are turned on. The second pump body 22 controls the vertical telescopic push rod 23 to extend, causing the suction cup 24 to move downwards and pick up the VCM spring sheet. After the suction cup 24 picks up the VCM spring sheet, the second pump body 22 is turned on again, controlling the vertical telescopic push rod 23 to shorten, causing the suction cup 24 to move upwards. Finally, the second motor 25 drives the mounting bracket 12 to rotate back to its original position (see reference). Figure 1At this point, the suction cup 24 is located directly above the placement plate 11. By opening the second pump body 22, the vertical telescopic push rod 23 is extended to move the suction cup 24 downward, and the suction pump 21 is turned off. At this time, the VCM spring sheet sucked up falls onto the placement plate 11, thus completing the placement. This utility model can control the extension and retraction of the vertical telescopic push rod 10 through the first pump body 9 to change the vertical position of the placement plate 11, thereby placing the VCM spring sheet sucked up by the suction cup 24 vertically on the placement plate 11. This utility model adopts a mechanical placement of VCM spring sheets, which is more convenient and faster than manual placement, and its labor cost is relatively low.
