Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of electronic component handling, and in particular to a pickup and pickup device. Background Technology

[0002] With the rapid development of electronic technology, electronic products have gradually become an indispensable part of daily life, especially smart products such as smartphones and tablets.

[0003] Most smartphone cameras currently include VCM (Voice Coil Motor) and Flex components. VCM, or Voice Coil Motor, is a special type of direct-drive motor that directly converts electrical energy into linear or rotational force. It features simple structure, small size, high speed, high acceleration, fast response, high control precision, and ease of integration, making it widely used in smartphone and other mobile device cameras for focusing and image stabilization. Through VCM, the camera can precisely adjust the lens position to achieve focusing and maintain image stability. Flex components, or Flexible Circuit Boards, are an important part of the phone camera module. They connect various electronic components within the module, such as sensors, lens mounts, and connectors. Because phone cameras need to adapt to different installation spaces and angles, flexible circuit boards provide the necessary flexibility and bendability to ensure the camera module functions correctly and stably.

[0004] In the assembly of electronic components, it is often necessary to precisely place various small components, such as VCM (Voice Coil Motor) components and Flex (Flexible Printed Circuit) components, into predetermined positions. However, current devices used to pick up and transfer VCM and Flex components to the corresponding areas of the mobile phone are prone to failure when the product is slightly tilted or slightly misaligned during pickup. This is because the pickup's suction end area is small, causing the loader's pickup to fail to pick up the product properly. This leads to frequent equipment alarms and affects production efficiency.

[0005] Therefore, this application proposes a technical solution to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] This invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, this invention proposes a pickup and a pickup device using the pickup. The pickup of this application adds a support mechanism to support one end of the VCM element, so that when the VCM element is picked up by the first adsorption mechanism, the first adsorption mechanism, while abutting and picking up one end of the VCM element, can prevent the other end of the VCM element from tilting up. This allows the adsorption end of the first adsorption mechanism to completely adhere to the surface of the VCM element, successfully picking up the VCM element, avoiding frequent alarms from the pickup device, and helping to ensure production efficiency.

[0007] In a first aspect, a pickup according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0008] Mounting base;

[0009] The first adsorption mechanism is installed on the mounting base and is used to pick up the VCM element.

[0010] The second adsorption mechanism is installed on the mounting base and is used to pick up the Flex element;

[0011] A support mechanism is installed on the mounting base. The support mechanism is arranged opposite to the first adsorption mechanism. The support mechanism can abut against the end of the VCM element away from the first adsorption mechanism so that the adsorption end of the first adsorption mechanism can fit against the surface of the VCM element.

[0012] A pickup according to an embodiment of the present utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0013] The first adsorption mechanism, the second adsorption mechanism, and the support mechanism work together to efficiently pick up and transport different types of components. The first adsorption mechanism and the second adsorption mechanism are used to pick up VCM components and Flex components respectively, so that the picker can pick up and transport VCM components and Flex components at the same time, effectively improving production efficiency.

[0014] Specifically, when the first adsorption mechanism descends to bring its adsorption end close to the VCM element, and the adsorption end of the first adsorption mechanism comes into contact with the surface of the VCM element, the descending first adsorption mechanism exerts a downward first thrust on one end of the VCM element, causing the other end of the VCM element to tend to tilt upwards. At this time, the end of the VCM element that tends to tilt upwards comes into contact with the support mechanism, and the support mechanism exerts a downward second thrust on the VCM element, preventing the tilted end of the VCM element from tilting upwards. Both ends of the VCM element can then remain on the same horizontal plane, allowing the adsorption end of the first adsorption mechanism to fully adhere to the surface of the VCM element, enabling the first adsorption mechanism to successfully vacuum-pick up the VCM element. The pickup structure of this application is simple and practical, effectively ensuring that the VCM element can be successfully picked up, avoiding frequent alarms from the pickup device that would affect production efficiency.

[0015] According to an embodiment of the present invention, in a pickup, two first adsorption mechanisms and two support mechanisms are arranged in a direction away from the second adsorption mechanism.

One end of the first connecting tube is inserted into the first groove and then communicates with the connection port of the first channel.

[0018] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a pickup device includes a first suction nozzle and a second groove. The second groove is disposed on the same side as the adsorption end of the first channel. The adsorption end of the first channel is disposed at the bottom of the second groove. The second groove is connected to the first connecting tube through the first channel.

[0019] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a pickup device includes a second suction mechanism comprising a second suction nozzle and a second connecting tube. One end of the second connecting tube is fixed to a mounting base, and the second suction nozzle is connected to the end of the second connecting tube away from the mounting base.

[0021] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, the mounting base further includes a positioning mechanism disposed on the same side as the first adsorption mechanism. The positioning mechanism includes a positioning block, which is fixedly connected to the mounting base. The positioning block is provided with a first positioning groove, a second positioning groove, and a third positioning groove. The first adsorption mechanism, the second adsorption mechanism, and the support mechanism are respectively matched and connected to the first positioning groove, the second positioning groove, and the third positioning groove.

[0022] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a pickup device includes a support mechanism comprising a connecting rod and a support block. One end of the connecting rod is fixedly connected to a mounting base, and the support block is connected to the end of the connecting rod away from the mounting base.

[0023] Secondly, a pickup device according to an embodiment of the present invention utilizes the aforementioned pickup.

[0024] A pickup according to an embodiment of the present utility model has at least the following beneficial effects:

[0025] The first adsorption mechanism, the second adsorption mechanism, and the support mechanism work together to efficiently pick up and transport different types of components. The first adsorption mechanism and the second adsorption mechanism are used to pick up VCM components and Flex components respectively, so that the picker can pick up and transport VCM components and Flex components at the same time, effectively improving production efficiency.

[0026] Specifically, when the first adsorption mechanism descends to bring its adsorption end close to the VCM element, and the adsorption end of the first adsorption mechanism comes into contact with the surface of the VCM element, the descending first adsorption mechanism exerts a downward first thrust on one end of the VCM element, causing the other end of the VCM element to tend to tilt upwards. At this time, the end of the VCM element that tends to tilt upwards comes into contact with the support mechanism, and the support mechanism exerts a downward second thrust on the VCM element, preventing the tilted end of the VCM element from tilting upwards. Both ends of the VCM element can then remain on the same horizontal plane, allowing the adsorption end of the first adsorption mechanism to fully adhere to the surface of the VCM element, enabling the first adsorption mechanism to successfully vacuum-pick up the VCM element. The pickup structure of this application is simple and practical, effectively ensuring that the VCM element can be successfully picked up, avoiding frequent alarms from the pickup device that would affect production efficiency.

[0042] In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly defined, terms such as "setting," "installation," and "connection" should be interpreted broadly, and those skilled in the art can reasonably determine the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model in conjunction with the specific content of the technical solution.

[0043] Reference Figures 1 to 3 This utility model provides a pickup device.

[0044] Specifically, the pickup includes a mounting base 100 and a first adsorption mechanism 200, a second adsorption mechanism 300, and a support mechanism 400 disposed on the mounting base 100. The first adsorption mechanism 200 and the second adsorption mechanism 300 are used to pick up VCM elements and Flex elements, respectively.

[0045] The pickup mechanism of this application, comprising a first adsorption mechanism 200, a second adsorption mechanism 300, and a support mechanism 400, works together to efficiently pick up and transport different types of components. The first adsorption mechanism 200 and the second adsorption mechanism 300 are respectively used to pick up VCM components and Flex components, allowing the pickup to simultaneously pick up and transport both VCM and Flex components, effectively improving production efficiency. When the first adsorption mechanism 200 descends to bring its adsorption end close to the VCM component, and the adsorption end of the first adsorption mechanism 200 abuts against the surface of the VCM component, the descending first adsorption mechanism 200 exerts a downward first thrust on one end of the VCM component, causing the other end of the VCM component to tend to tilt upwards. At this point, the end of the VCM element that tends to tilt upwards abuts against the support mechanism 400. The support mechanism 400 exerts a second downward thrust on the VCM element, preventing the tilted end from tilting upwards. Both ends of the VCM element remain on the same horizontal plane, allowing the adsorption end of the first adsorption mechanism 200 to fully adhere to the surface of the VCM element. The first adsorption mechanism 200 can then successfully vacuum-pick up the VCM element. The pickup structure of this application is simple and practical, effectively ensuring that the VCM element can be successfully picked up, avoiding frequent alarms from the pickup device that could affect production efficiency.

[0046] like Figure 1As shown, the two first adsorption mechanisms 200 and the two support mechanisms 400 are arranged in a direction away from the second adsorption mechanism 300, which helps to maintain the stability and accuracy of the components during the picking process, reduces the probability of VCM components falling during the picking and transfer process, reduces losses, and ensures production efficiency.

[0047] It is worth noting that the adsorption end of the first adsorption mechanism 200 and the end of the support mechanism 400 are preferably located on the same horizontal plane. This ensures that the first adsorption mechanism 200 can smoothly pick up the VCM element, and at the same time, the VCM element will not be bent or deformed due to the height difference between the adsorption end of the first adsorption mechanism 200 and the end of the support mechanism 400, which helps to ensure production quality.

[0048] Specifically, the mounting base 100 is provided with a vacuum structure. As shown in the figure, the vacuum structure includes a vacuum chamber 110, a first vacuum channel 120, and a second vacuum channel 130. The vacuum chamber 110, the first vacuum channel 120, and the second vacuum channel 130 are connected in sequence. The first adsorption mechanism 200 is connected to the first vacuum channel 120, and the second adsorption mechanism 300 is connected to the second vacuum channel 130.

[0049] Alternatively, the first vacuum channel 120 and the second vacuum channel 130 are respectively connected to the vacuum chamber 110, the first adsorption mechanism 200 is connected to the first vacuum channel 120, and the second adsorption mechanism 300 is connected to the second vacuum channel 130.

[0050] Specifically, the vacuum chamber 110 can be connected to an external vacuum pump or vacuum generator to form a vacuum negative pressure. The first adsorption mechanism 200 and the second adsorption mechanism 300 simultaneously adsorb VCM elements and Flex elements through the vacuum negative pressure, which effectively improves production efficiency.

[0051] According to some embodiments of this application, as shown in the figure, the support mechanism 400 includes a connecting rod 410 and an abutment block. The connecting rod 410 is fixed on the mounting base 100, and the abutment block is detachably inserted into the connecting rod 410 so that the user can replace the corresponding abutment block according to the actual situation, so that the adsorption end of the first adsorption mechanism 200 and the end of the support mechanism 400 are on the same horizontal plane, and it is also convenient for the user to disassemble and assemble.

[0052] According to some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 4 As shown, the first adsorption mechanism 200 includes a first connecting pipe 210 and a first suction nozzle 220, wherein the first suction nozzle 220 includes a first groove 221, a first channel 222, and a second groove 223.

[0053] Specifically, the first connecting tube 210 is fixed on the mounting base 100, the first suction nozzle 220 is connected to the end of the first connecting tube 210 away from the mounting base 100, the connection port of the first channel 222 is located at the bottom of the first tank 221, the end of the first channel 222 away from the first tank 221 is the suction end, one end of the first connecting tube 210 is inserted into the first tank 221 and then communicates with the connection port of the first channel 222, the second tank 223 is located on the same side as the suction end of the first channel 222, the suction end of the first channel 222 is located at the bottom of the second tank 223, and the second tank 223 is connected to the first connecting tube 210 through the first channel 222.

[0054] It is understood that the first connecting pipe 210 on the mounting base 100 is connected to the first vacuum channel 120, and the first suction nozzle 220 is connected to the first connecting pipe 210 on the mounting base 100 through the first groove 221 to realize the connection between the first suction nozzle 220 and the first vacuum channel 120, so as to realize the vacuum negative pressure pickup of the component by the first suction nozzle 220. Furthermore, a second groove 223 is also provided at the position where the adsorption end of the first suction nozzle 220 is set. Specifically, as shown in the figure, the adsorption end is set at the bottom of the second groove 223. By utilizing the second groove 223, when the adsorption end is in contact with the component, after the open end of the second groove 223 is in contact with the surface of the component, a vacuum negative pressure cavity can be formed when vacuum adsorption is started, so as to increase the adsorption area of ​​the first suction nozzle 220 on the component, improve the stability of the first suction nozzle 220 in picking up and transferring components, and reduce losses.

[0055] Preferably, as shown in the figure, in the practical application of this application, the support mechanism 400 and the first adsorption mechanism 200 can be designed to have the same structure. That is, the connecting rod 410 in the support mechanism 400 can be made to be in a non-connected state with the vacuum structure. This ensures that when the pickup picks up the same type of component, the adsorption end of the first adsorption mechanism 200 and the end of the support mechanism 400 can be located on the same horizontal plane, simplifying the debugging process before production and further improving production efficiency.

[0056] According to some embodiments of this application, the second adsorption mechanism 300 includes a second suction nozzle 310 and a second connecting tube 320. One end of the second connecting tube 320 is fixed to the mounting base 100, and the second suction nozzle 310 is connected to the end of the second connecting tube 320 away from the mounting base 100. The second suction nozzle 310 is in communication with the vacuum structure through the second connecting tube 320.

[0057] It is understood that after the second suction nozzle 310 is inserted into the second connecting tube 320, it is connected to the second vacuum channel 130 through the second connecting tube 320 to achieve vacuum negative pressure pickup of the Flex element. The second suction nozzle 310 and the second connecting tube 320 are detachable and can be easily replaced by the user according to the actual situation.

[0058] According to some embodiments of this application, the mounting base 100 also includes a positioning mechanism disposed on the same side as the first adsorption mechanism 200, which enables the first suction nozzle 220 and the second suction nozzle 310 to be quickly positioned and connected to the mounting base 100.

[0059] Specifically, as shown in the figure, the positioning mechanism includes a positioning block 500, which is fixedly connected to the mounting base 100. The positioning block 500 is provided with a first positioning groove 510, a second positioning groove 520, and a third positioning groove 530. The first adsorption mechanism 200, the second adsorption mechanism 300, and the support mechanism 400 are respectively matched and connected to the first positioning groove 510, the second positioning groove 520, and the third positioning groove 530.

[0060] Furthermore, a positioning post 150 is provided at one end of the mounting base 100 near the first suction nozzle 220. Correspondingly, the positioning block 500 is provided with a positioning hole that matches and inserts into the positioning post 150. The positioning block 500 and the mounting base 100 are quickly positioned and installed by matching the positioning post 150 with the positioning hole.

[0061] Furthermore, the positioning block 500 and the mounting base 100 can be detachably connected by bolts, which is simple in structure and easy to assemble and disassemble.

[0062] Furthermore, as shown in the figure, the mounting base 100 is also provided with four mounting holes 140. These four mounting holes 140 are circumferentially arranged around the axis of the vacuum chamber 110, and are connected to the vacuum chamber 110. Specifically, the mounting holes 140 are located at the upper part of the vacuum chamber 110, that is, at the end furthest from the positioning block 500. After the vacuum connecting shaft is inserted into the vacuum chamber 110, the user passes the locking member through the mounting holes 140, causing the locking member to abut against the vacuum connecting shaft, thereby fixing the vacuum connecting shaft to the mounting base 100. The structure is simple and practical.

[0063] This application also provides a pickup device (not shown) that utilizes the aforementioned pickup. By using the pickup, it is effectively ensured that VCM components can be successfully picked up, avoiding frequent alarms from the pickup device that would affect production efficiency. Furthermore, it can simultaneously pick up VCM components and Flex components, effectively guaranteeing production efficiency.
