[0039] This application relates to an automatic PCB board stacking device, which will be explained in detail below through specific embodiments.

[0040] An automated PCB stacking device includes:

[0041] Multiple sets of overlapping components arranged in parallel, and the multiple sets of overlapping components are interconnected;

[0042] Each stacked component includes:

[0043] The transmission unit includes a first transmission module and a second transmission module arranged in parallel.

[0044] The feeding section 1 is disposed on both sides of the transmission section, respectively located on the side away from the first transmission module and the second transmission module;

[0045] The suction unit 4 is disposed above the transfer unit and is used to suction the PCB board on the loading unit 1 onto the transfer unit.

[0046] Multiple sets of first transmission modules and second transmission modules form first transmission line 2 and second transmission line 3;

[0047] Multiple sets of suction units 4 suction the PCB boards corresponding to the side loading unit 1 and stack them on the first transmission line 2 to form a predetermined number of layers, thus forming a PCB board group.

[0048] This utility model completes the predetermined layer stacking of PCB boards by designing multiple sets of stacking components. During stacking, multiple sets of first transmission modules and second transmission modules form first transmission lines 2 and second transmission lines 3. The PCB boards of the corresponding side loading section 1 are picked up by the suction section 4 and stacked on the first transmission line 2 to form a predetermined number of layers to form a PCB board group, thereby completing the layer stacking of the PCB boards.

[0049] The PCBs in each loading section 1 are made of different materials. According to the pre-designed stacking hierarchy, the bottom layer PCBs are placed on the loading section 1 at the input end, and the top PCBs are placed on the loading section 1 at the output end. This process is repeated to complete the stacking of PCBs in a predetermined order and form a PCB group in a predetermined order.

[0050] The input and output terminals are determined by the direction of movement of the first transmission line 2 and the second transmission line 3;

[0051] Alternatively, the reciprocating motion of the first transmission line 2 can achieve the stacking in a predetermined order. In this way, it is not necessary to match the PCB board with the loading section 1 according to the stacking order. The PCB board can be driven to reciprocate by the first transmission line 2. When a PCB board of the loading section 1 needs to be stacked, the first transmission line 2 drives the bottom board to move to the corresponding position, and the suction section 4 completes the suction, thus completing the sequential stacking.

[0052] The second transmission module is designed primarily for placing separator paper. When the loading section 1 loads PCB boards, it places separator paper between adjacent boards to separate them.

[0053] In actual operation, the PCB board can be brought to the loading section 1 by the AGV trolley, and the loading is completed through the loading section 1.

[0054] The composite assembly is provided with a cover.

[0055] The feeding section 1 includes two sets of symmetrically arranged feeding units 11;

[0056] Each feeding unit 11 includes:

[0057] A feeding screw 111 is inserted into the cover, and a feeding motor 112 is provided on the cover and is drivenly connected to the feeding screw 111;

[0058] The feeding guide rod 113 is connected to the cover and is located on both sides of the feeding screw 111;

[0059] The feeding slide plate 114 is sleeved on the feeding screw 111 and the feeding guide rod 113;

[0060] The top arm 115 is designed to be installed in two sets at both ends of the top plate 114.

[0061] The suction unit 4 includes:

[0062] Linear module 41 is mounted on top of the housing;

[0063] The lifting module 42 is connected to the linear module 41;

[0064] The connecting frame 43 is connected to the lifting module 42, and the bottom of the connecting frame 43 is provided with several suction cups 44.

[0065] The linear module 41 and the lifting module 42 are existing technologies and can be selected by those skilled in the art according to actual needs;

[0066] Specifically, the linear module 41 may include a linear module 41 frame connected to the housing, a slide groove designed on the linear module 41 frame, a linear lead screw inserted into the linear module 41 frame, a linear motor connected to the linear lead screw installed at the end of the linear module 41 frame, and a linear slider adapted to the slide groove fitted on the linear lead screw. During operation, the linear motor drives the linear lead screw to rotate, which drives the linear slider to slide on the slide groove to complete the linear motion.

[0067] The lifting module 42 can adopt the same or similar structure as the linear module 41, specifically including a lifting module 42 frame, a lifting screw inserted into the lifting module 42 frame, a sliding groove opened on the lifting module 42 frame, an upgrade slider adapted to the sliding groove sleeved on the lifting screw, and a lifting motor that is driven or directly connected to the lifting screw installed at one end of the lifting module 42 frame.

[0068] Connect the lifting module 42 to the linear slider, and connect the connecting frame 43 to the lifting slider;

[0069] During operation, the lifting motor drives the lifting screw to rotate, which in turn causes the lifting slider to slide along the lifting rail to complete the lifting operation.

[0070] Specifically, this can also be achieved directly through a cylinder.

[0071] The first transmission module and the second transmission module are connected to the housing.

[0072] The first and second transmission modules are existing technologies, differing only in roller density and performing only transmission work. They may include a transmission frame, multiple sets of transmission rollers mounted on the transmission frame, transmission wheels at the ends of the multiple sets of transmission rollers, transmission belts fitted on the transmission wheels, and a transmission motor mounted on the transmission frame to drive the transmission belts to move, thereby driving the multiple sets of transmission wheels to rotate, thus completing the rotation of the multiple sets of transmission rollers.

[0073] Alternatively, it can be achieved through gear meshing. Gears are fitted onto the ends of multiple sets of transmission rollers, and an additional gear is added between adjacent gears. The transmission motor drives any one of the gears to complete the drive.

[0074] Working principle description: During operation, the feeding motor 112 drives the feeding screw 111 to rotate, which in turn drives the feeding slide plate 114 to rise. The feeding top arm 115 then lifts the PCB board. The linear module 41 and the lifting module 42 work to move the connecting frame 43 and the suction cup 44 to the predetermined position, pick up the PCB board, and place it on the first transmission line 2 to complete the transfer. Multiple suction units 4 pick up the PCB boards from the corresponding side feeding unit 1 and stack them on the first transmission line 2 to form a predetermined number of layers, thus completing the stacking of the PCB boards.

[0075] Specifically, when stacking in sequence, according to the pre-designed stacking hierarchy, the bottom layer PCB board is placed on the loading section 1 at the input end, and the top PCB board is placed on the loading section 1 at the output end, and so on, to complete the stacking of PCB boards in the predetermined sequence and form a PCB board group in the predetermined sequence.

[0076] The input and output terminals are determined by the direction of movement of the first transmission line 2 and the second transmission line 3;

[0077] Alternatively, the reciprocating motion of the first transmission line 2 can achieve the stacking in a predetermined order. In this way, it is not necessary to match the PCB board with the loading section 1 according to the stacking order. The PCB board can be driven to reciprocate by the first transmission line 2. When a PCB board of the loading section 1 needs to be stacked, the first transmission line 2 drives the bottom board to move to the corresponding position, and the suction section 4 completes the suction, thus completing the sequential stacking.

However, the present invention is not limited to the specific details of the above embodiments. Within the scope of the technical concept of the present invention, various equivalent transformations can be made to the technical solutions of the present invention, and all such equivalent transformations fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
