Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation equipment technology, and more specifically, to a flip-plate and split-plate integrated device. Background Technology

[0002] In the electronics manufacturing industry, circuit board production is one of the key steps in ensuring the performance and quality of electronic products. Among these steps, adhesive cutting and pin removal are crucial processes in circuit board manufacturing, playing an irreplaceable role in improving the reliability of electrical connections and the overall structural stability of the circuit board.

[0003] With the rapid development of industrial automation technology, automated PIN stripping and de-pinning devices have emerged to improve production efficiency and reduce costs. These devices achieve efficient and precise processing of circuit boards by integrating advanced robotic arms, precision sensors, and intelligent control systems. However, despite the significant achievements of automation technology in increasing production speed and reducing human intervention, existing PIN stripping and de-pinning devices still face some challenges in the design of their flipping mechanisms.

[0004] Specifically, the flipping mechanism has a clamping part on the flipping arm. The opening and closing of the clamping arm is controlled by a clamping cylinder to clamp and release the circuit board. Then, a synchronous motor drives a transmission rod through a synchronous belt, and the transmission rod drives the flipping arm to rotate through the synchronous belt, thereby flipping the circuit board clamped on the flipping arm.

[0005] However, existing flipping mechanisms require six independent steps to flip a circuit board: First, the circuit board enters the clamping range of the clamping unit; second, the clamping unit holds the circuit board; next, the flipping arm moves upward, causing the circuit board to rise; then, the flipping arm rotates, causing the circuit board to complete the flipping action; next, the flipping arm moves downward, placing the circuit board back to its initial position; finally, the circuit board moves out of the clamping range of the clamping unit, preparing for the next flip. Existing flipping mechanisms require six steps to flip a circuit board, each of which takes time, resulting in a long overall working time and relatively low efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0030] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0031] It should be noted that the terms "comprising" and "having," and any variations thereof, in the specification and claims of this utility model are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product, or device that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but may optionally include steps or units not listed, or may optionally include other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products, or devices. Terms such as "set up" should be interpreted broadly; for example, it can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can refer to the internal communication of two elements or the interaction between two elements, unless otherwise expressly defined. Terms such as "upper," "lower," "left," "right," "front," "rear," and "bottom" indicate orientations or positions based on the orientations or positions shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for ease of description and should not be construed as limiting the present technical solution.

[0032] It should be noted that the flipping mechanism has a clamping part on the flipping arm. The clamping cylinder controls the opening and closing of the clamping arm to clamp and release the circuit board. Then, the synchronous motor drives the transmission rod through the synchronous belt, and the transmission rod drives the flipping arm to rotate through the synchronous belt, thereby realizing the flipping of the circuit board clamped on the flipping arm.

[0033] However, existing flipping mechanisms require six independent steps to flip a circuit board: First, the circuit board enters the clamping range of the clamping unit; second, the clamping unit holds the circuit board; next, the flipping arm moves upward, causing the circuit board to rise; then, the flipping arm rotates, causing the circuit board to complete the flipping action; next, the flipping arm moves downward, placing the circuit board back to its initial position; finally, the circuit board moves out of the clamping range of the clamping unit, preparing for the next flip. Existing flipping mechanisms require six steps to flip a circuit board, each of which takes time, resulting in a long overall working time and relatively low efficiency.

[0034] like Figures 1-7 As shown, this embodiment provides a flip-board and board-splitting integrated device. A flipping mechanism 20 is set between the first station 11 and the second station 12 of the frame 10. The board to be split is clamped by an elastic clamping unit 21. The crossbeam frame 22 rotates, driving the elastic clamping unit 21 to rotate between the first station 11 and the second station 12, thereby realizing the flipping of the board to be split. The flipping of the board to be split requires four steps: First, the board to be split is sent into the clamping range of the elastic clamping unit 21; second, the drive motor 23 drives the crossbeam frame 22 to rotate, and the elastic clamping unit 21 drives the board to be split to rotate from the first station 11 to the second station 12; next, the board to be split moves out of the clamping range of the elastic clamping unit 21, and the board to be split is flipped; finally, the drive beam frame 22 rotates, driving the elastic clamping unit 21 to rotate from the second station 12 to the first station 11, preparing for the next flipping. Through the automated flipping mechanism 20, the rapid flipping of the board is realized, significantly shortening the operation time and improving the overall work efficiency.

[0035] Specifically, the integrated flip-board separating device includes a frame 10 and a flipping mechanism 20. The frame 10 is provided with a first station 11 and a second station 12. The flipping mechanism 20 is located on the frame 10 and between the first station 11 and the second station 12. The flipping mechanism 20 includes several elastic clamping units 21 and a crossbeam frame 22 connected to each elastic clamping unit 21. The elastic clamping unit 21 is used to clamp the circuit board to be separated. The elastic clamping unit 21 can flexibly adjust the clamping range according to the different sizes of the circuit board to be separated, thereby achieving compatible clamping of circuit boards of various specifications. The crossbeam frame 22 is movably connected to the frame 10. The crossbeam frame 22 is also connected to a drive motor 23. The drive motor 23 drives the crossbeam frame 22 to rotate and drives the elastic clamping units 21 to rotate between the first station 11 and the second station 12.

[0036] like Figures 2-4 As shown, in one embodiment, the elastic clamping unit 21 includes a first clamping arm 211, a second clamping arm 212, and an elastic member 213 connecting the first clamping arm 211 and the second clamping arm 212. The first clamping arm 211 is parallel to the second clamping arm 212. One end of the first clamping arm 211 is connected to the crossbeam frame 22, and the other end of the first clamping arm 211 is suspended. One end of the second clamping arm 212 is connected to the crossbeam frame 22, and the other end of the second clamping arm 212 is suspended. The distance between the elastic member 213 and the crossbeam frame 22 is greater than the distance between the crossbeam frame 22 and the first workstation 11, and the distance between the elastic member 213 and the crossbeam frame 22 is greater than the distance between the crossbeam frame 22 and the second workstation 12. The elastic element 213 not only allows the clamping range of the elastic clamping unit 21 to be adjusted, but also prevents the circuit board to be split from moving further toward the crossbeam frame 22, thus preventing the circuit board to be split from entering the gap between the first station 11 and the second station 12, thereby causing damage to the circuit board to be split.

[0037] The first station 11 is equipped with several arrays of first conveyor rollers 111, and the second station 12 is equipped with several arrays of second conveyor rollers 121. The first and second conveyor rollers 111 and 121 are at the same height. The first clamping arm 211 is located below the first conveyor rollers 111, and the second clamping arm 212 is located above the first conveyor rollers 111. The circuit board to be split is directly fed into the clamping range of the elastic clamping unit 21 by the first conveyor rollers 111, and rotates into the second station 12 under the drive of the crossbeam frame 22. Under the conveying of the second conveyor rollers 121, it is directly moved out of the clamping range of the elastic clamping unit 21, realizing the automatic flipping of the circuit board.

[0038] The first station 11 and the second station 12 are provided with slots 15 for placing the elastic clamping unit 21.

[0039] like Figures 5-6As shown, in one embodiment, the flip-plate and plate-splitting integrated device further includes a first plate-splitting mechanism 30 and a second plate-splitting mechanism 40. The first plate-splitting mechanism 30 is located in front of the flip-plate mechanism 20 and corresponds to the position of the first station 11. The second plate-splitting mechanism 40 is located behind the flip-plate mechanism 20 and corresponds to the position of the second station 12.

[0040] like Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, the first board splitting mechanism 30 includes a hoisting connecting plate 31 and a slapping plate bracket 32 ​​disposed at the bottom of the hoisting connecting plate 31. The slapping plate bracket 32 ​​is slidably connected to the hoisting connecting plate 31. The driving mechanism drives the slapping plate bracket 32 ​​to slide on the hoisting connecting plate 31. A plurality of first vacuum suction cups 33 are provided on the side wall of the slapping plate bracket 32. The first vacuum suction cups 33 are used to split the circuit board to be split.

[0041] When in operation, the conveying mechanism transports the circuit board to be split, after the nail removal and adhesive removal processes, to a position between the first vacuum suction cup 33 and a pair of clasping brackets 32. Depending on the size of the circuit board, the pair of clasping brackets 32 move relative to each other and abut against the circuit board, aligning it and causing the first vacuum suction cup 33 to descend and precisely grasp the upper edge of the circuit board. Then, the first vacuum suction cup 33 rises to lift the top cover plate of the circuit board, and the circuit board is then transported to the next process. The cover plate picked up by the first vacuum suction cup 33 is placed into the collecting mechanism, completing one splitting operation of the circuit board. This machine replaces manual disassembly, saving manpower while increasing efficiency, meeting the requirements of industrial production lines, and significantly improving production efficiency.

[0042] The plate holder 32 is equipped with a vacuum connection tube 34, and a vacuum connector 35 is provided above the first vacuum suction cup 33. The vacuum connector 35 is connected to the vacuum connection tube 34 through a conduit, so that the first vacuum suction cup 33 can achieve the function of vacuum adsorption.

[0043] The drive mechanism includes a servo motor 36 and a reducer 37. The servo motor 36 controls the reducer 37 to drive the clapper bracket 32 ​​to slide on the hoisting connection plate 31.

[0044] like Figure 6 As shown, in one embodiment, the second board splitting mechanism 40 is disposed on the first track 13 arranged on the frame 10. The second board splitting mechanism 40 includes a telescopic cylinder 41 and a lifting arm 42 connected to the telescopic cylinder 41. The telescopic cylinder 41 is slidably disposed on the first track 13. The output end of the telescopic cylinder 41 is connected to the lifting arm 42. The lifting arm 42 is provided with a plurality of second vacuum suction cups 43. The second vacuum suction cups 43 are used to split the circuit board to be split.

[0045] When in operation, the conveying mechanism transports the flipped circuit board to be split to below the second vacuum suction cup 43. The telescopic cylinder 41 moves along the first track 13 to the middle of the circuit board to be split. The output end of the telescopic cylinder 41 drives the lifting arm 42 to move down, causing the second vacuum suction cup 43 to descend and precisely suction the upper surface of the circuit board to be split. Then, the second vacuum suction cup 43 rises to pick up the bottom pad of the circuit board to be split, and then the circuit board to be split is transported to the next process. The pad picked up by the first vacuum suction cup 33 is placed in the storage box, completing the pad splitting work of the circuit board. The principle of vacuum adsorption achieved by the second vacuum suction cup 43 and the first vacuum suction cup 33 is the same, and will not be described again here.

[0046] like Figure 7 As shown, in one embodiment, the integrated flip-plate and plate-separating device further includes a plate-receiving frame 50 mounted on a frame 10. A second track 14 is provided on the frame 10, and the plate-receiving frame 50 slides along the second track 14 to receive the plates sucked up by the second vacuum suction cup 43. The telescopic cylinder 41 moves along the first track 13, while the plate-receiving frame 50 moves along the second track 14 until the pad layer sucked up by the second vacuum suction cup 43 is above the plate-receiving frame 50. At this point, the second vacuum suction cup 43 stops vacuum suction, and the pad layer naturally falls onto the plate-receiving frame 50.

[0047] like Figure 2 As shown, the receiving rack 50 is provided with a first storage box 60 and a second storage box 70. The first storage box 60 and the second storage box 70 are used to store the pads with different degrees of damage collected on the receiving rack 50, which facilitates the subsequent classification and reuse of the pads and greatly improves the efficiency and orderliness of the entire production process.

[0048] It should be understood that those skilled in the art can make improvements or modifications based on the above description, and all such improvements and modifications should fall within the protection scope of the appended claims.

[0049] The present utility model patent has been described above with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the implementation of the present utility model patent is not limited to the above-described manner. Any improvements made by adopting the inventive concept and technical solution of the present utility model patent, or the direct application of the inventive concept and technical solution of the present utility model patent to other occasions without modification, are all within the protection scope of the present utility model.
