Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of detection equipment technology, specifically relating to a HIC picking mechanism with anti-stacking function. Background Technology

[0002] A Humidity Indicator Card (HIC) is a card used to display the humidity level of a sealed space. Most high-end electronic components, precision optical parts, and other electronic instruments and equipment are susceptible to moisture, leading to corrosion, reduced sensitivity, and even irreversible damage. To prevent moisture damage, most products use moisture-proof packaging to protect them during the final and semi-finished product packaging stages. The humidity indicator card provides a convenient and economical way to check whether the humidity is within a controlled range. When the sealed bag is opened, the color display on the humidity card shows the data, which serves as a basis for monitoring whether the humidity inside the sealed packaging is within the specified range. It also indirectly reflects whether the desiccant inside the sealed packaging is effectively absorbing moisture. Because HICs are paper cards, multiple cards can easily be absorbed during storage and transfer, and due to their sensitivity to humidity, prolonged exposure to air can cause discoloration.

[0003] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of this utility model and should not be construed as an admission or in any way implying that the information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.

Detailed Implementation

[0024] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this utility model, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0025] like Figure 1-6As shown, an embodiment of the present invention discloses a HIC (Hybrid Injection Cell) picking mechanism 100 with anti-stacking function, comprising a frame 10, a hopper 20, a transfer assembly, and a first anti-stacking assembly 50. The hopper 20 is fixed to the frame 10 and is used to store HICs. The transfer assembly is used to pick up HICs from the hopper 20 and transfer them to other subsequent workstations. The first anti-stacking assembly 50 includes multiple paddles 51 disposed on both sides of the outlet of the hopper 20, and a first power source 52 driving the paddles 51 to reciprocate up and down within the hopper 20. The distance between the paddles 51 is less than the length of the HIC in that direction, thus allowing excess HICs to be removed during movement. During the HIC transfer process, when the transfer assembly enters the hopper 20 to pick up HICs and leaves the hopper 20, multiple HICs may be taken away at once due to the thin nature of the HICs. Therefore, the transfer component will pause for a period of time when passing the outlet of the hopper 20. During this time, the first power source 52 drives the paddle 51 to move up and down reciprocally a certain number of times (e.g., 5 times) to scrape off the excess HIC. The scraped-off HIC falls back into the hopper 20, and the transfer component only carries one HIC away from the hopper 20. The first anti-stacking component 50 is set at the HIC picking end to prevent excess HIC from being carried away from the hopper 20, thus avoiding subsequent HIC reorganization operations.

[0026] Preferably, to extend service life, the pry bar 51 is made of metal to ensure strength and maintain its shape during long-term use, preventing bending or even breakage. Furthermore, since HIC cards are typically rectangular, pry bars 51 can be placed at all four corners of the HIC to increase the contact area with the HIC and improve the success rate of scraping off excess HIC.

[0027] Since the HIC is card-shaped, the transfer assembly employs an adsorption method for easy movement. This includes a second suction nozzle 41, a fourth power source 42, and a fifth power source 43. The fourth power source 42 drives the second suction nozzle 41 to move vertically, while the fifth power source 43 drives it to move horizontally. The second suction nozzle 41 is connected to an external negative pressure device to extract the HIC. Compared to other methods such as clamping, adsorption effectively preserves the shape of the HIC, preventing twisting or bending, and reduces the number of HICs extracted at once, avoiding the loss of too many HICs.

[0028] Preferably, the transfer assembly also includes a plurality of elastic push rods 44 disposed next to the second suction nozzle 41, and the length of the push rods 44 is slightly greater than the length of the second suction nozzle 41, so that when HIC is adsorbed, its corner position is held by the push rods 44, so that HIC is arched after being adsorbed, which can also prevent excess HIC from being adsorbed.

[0029] It is conceivable that although the paddle 51 can reciprocate multiple times to scrape off excess HIC, there may still be cases where not all excess HIC is scraped off, and some excess HIC is still carried away from the hopper 20 by the transfer component. Therefore, the HIC picking mechanism 100 in this embodiment is also provided with a second anti-stacking component. A transfer platform 30 is provided on the frame 10, and the secondary anti-stacking operation is performed on the transfer platform 30. The transfer component is used to transport HIC between the hopper 20 and the transfer platform 30. The second anti-stacking component includes a plurality of first suction nozzles 31 provided on the transfer platform 30, and a sensor (not shown) for detecting the air pressure inside the first suction nozzles 31. The first suction nozzles 31 are connected to a negative pressure device to adsorb HIC onto the transfer platform 30. After the transfer component transfers one or more HIC sheets to the transfer platform 30, a secondary anti-stacking detection is performed. During this detection process, the bottom HIC sheets are adsorbed onto the transfer platform 30, while the upper HIC sheets, due to weak or no suction, are moved back into the hopper 20 by the transfer component.

[0030] It should be understood that the suction force of the first suction nozzle 31 is less than that of the second suction nozzle 41. When the transfer assembly transfers the upper HIC, the air pressure inside the first suction nozzle 31 is lower than the standard atmospheric pressure because the lowermost HIC always covers the first suction nozzle 31. After all the excess HIC above has been moved back to the hopper 20, the transfer assembly picks up the lowermost HIC. At this time, the first suction nozzle 31 is unobstructed, and its internal air pressure returns to the standard atmospheric pressure. After this process is detected by the aforementioned sensor, the system identifies this as the only HIC and places it back on the transfer platform 30, awaiting subsequent inspection and conveyor belt application.

[0031] Of course, the suction power of the first suction nozzle 31 can also be set to be greater than that of the second suction nozzle 41. In this case, during the secondary anti-overlapping detection, if the transfer component cannot pick up the HIC on the transfer platform 30, the system will determine it as the only HIC and wait for subsequent detection and tape-making.

[0032] Preferably, a limiting groove 32 for accommodating HIC is recessed on the surface of the transfer platform 30, and the first suction nozzle 31 is disposed within the range of the limiting groove 32. The limiting groove 32 is used to restrict the HIC to be placed on the transfer platform 30 in the correct orientation.

[0033] Furthermore, multiple first suction nozzles 31 are provided within the limiting groove 32 to ensure the posture of the HIC and prevent curling or bending. For example, the HIC is usually a rectangular card, and the corresponding limiting groove 32 is a rectangular groove. First suction nozzles 31 can be provided at each corner of the limiting groove 32.

[0034] In one embodiment, the HIC picking mechanism 100 further includes a first hot air gun (not shown) fixed inside the hopper 20. Since HIC is sensitive to air humidity, in order to ensure that HIC does not change color before being conveyed, a first hot air gun (not shown) is installed inside the hopper 20 to control the humidity inside the hopper 20 and prevent HIC from changing color.

[0035] Furthermore, a second hot air gun 11 is fixed on the frame 10. It is positioned above the transfer platform 30 and faces the transfer platform 30. After the HIC is transferred to the transfer platform 30, the second hot air gun 11 blows hot air onto it to prevent it from changing color before the tape is applied.

[0036] In one embodiment, the bottom of the hopper 20 is provided with a base plate 23 for supporting HIC, and a plurality of positioning posts 22 surrounding the base plate 23. The hopper 20 includes a box body, and a base plate 23 and a plurality of positioning posts 22 disposed inside the box body. The HIC is placed on the base plate 23 and confined between the plurality of positioning posts 22, which are used to prevent the HIC from moving in other directions. A window is provided on the box body, and a first hot air gun is disposed at the bottom of the box body. The transfer component enters and exits through the window to pick up or put down the material. This arrangement creates a relatively enclosed space inside the box body, preventing the HIC from discoloring prematurely under the action of the first hot air gun. To facilitate material retrieval, a second power source 21 is also provided at the bottom of the hopper 20 for driving the base plate 23 to move within the hopper 20. During operation, the HIC in the hopper 20 is continuously consumed. At this time, the second power source 21 drives the base plate 23 to move upward, which can ensure that the uppermost HIC is always at a suitable height for easy retrieval by the transfer component.

[0037] Preferably, the frame 10 is also provided with a third power source 12 for driving the transfer platform 30 to rotate. The frame 10 is provided with the third power source 12, and the transfer platform 30 is supported on the third power source 12 and driven by it to rotate. Therefore, the orientation of the HIC on the transfer platform 30 is adjustable, which facilitates the transfer to the rear tape-laying station.

[0038] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the HIC (Hydrogen Injection) collection mechanism 100 also includes a detection device 60 for detecting whether the HIC has changed color. The detection device 60 is fixed to the frame 10 and positioned directly above the transfer platform 30, facing the transfer platform 30. Besides being used for secondary anti-overlapping detection, the transfer platform 30 also serves for visual inspection, specifically for detecting whether the HIC has changed color using the detection device 60. For example... Figure 2 In the embodiment shown, the detection device 60 is a camera fixed on the frame 10 for detecting HIC color, which is positioned above the transfer platform 30 and facing the surface of the transfer platform 30.

[0039] All power sources in this application can be cylinders, motors, or other power output components, and this embodiment is not limited thereto.

[0040] The HIC acquisition mechanism 100 in this embodiment will be further explained in conjunction with specific usage scenarios.

[0041] Before operation, a sufficient amount of HIC is placed on the base plate 23. Then, the fifth power source 43 drives the second suction nozzle 41 to move above the base plate 23. The second power source 21 then drives the base plate 23 upwards until the topmost HIC is positioned near the positioning post 22. Next, the fourth power source 42 drives the second suction nozzle 41 downwards to adsorb the HIC. The second power source 21 then drives the base plate 23 downwards, causing the adsorbed and unadsorbed HIC to separate. The first power source 52 drives the lever 51 to move up and down repeatedly a certain number of times, agitating the HIC adsorbed by the second suction nozzle 41. The remaining HIC is pushed off by the pry bar 51 and falls onto the base plate 23. Then, the fourth power source 42 drives the second suction nozzle 41 to move upward and away from the base plate 23 and the positioning post 22. Then, the fifth power source 43 drives the second suction nozzle 41 to move above the transfer platform 30. After placing the HIC on the transfer platform 30, a second anti-stacking test is performed. If there is still excess HIC, it is moved back into the hopper 20 by the transfer component. When only one HIC remains on the transfer platform 30, the detection device 60 checks whether the HIC has changed color. The HIC that passes the test is finally transferred to the tape-making station.

[0042] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered illustrative and non-limiting in all respects, and the scope of this invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description.
