Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of clamping and flipping equipment technology, specifically to an FPC clamping and flipping mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] An FPC clamping and flipping mechanism is a device specifically designed for clamping and flipping FPCs. It plays a crucial role in electronic product manufacturing, especially in scenarios requiring precise control and automated operation, such as the manufacturing and assembly of FPCs in electronic products like mobile phones, laptops, and wearable devices. The clamping and flipping mechanism is needed to achieve precise flipping and positioning of FPCs. On automated production lines, the clamping and flipping mechanism, as one of the key components, can significantly improve production efficiency and quality stability.

[0003] The existing technology still has the following drawbacks in its use:

[0004] Existing clamping and flipping mechanisms have certain positional interference problems when clamping FPCs. This is because the flipping of FPCs requires leaving sufficient space for the lower part, and current flipping mechanisms are usually driven by cylinders. As a result, the overall coordination with the clamping mechanism is poor, and more stable motion coordination cannot be achieved.

[0005] In view of this, we propose an FPC clamping and flipping mechanism to solve the existing problems. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an FPC clamping and flipping mechanism to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an FPC clamping and flipping mechanism, comprising a flipping cylinder, a telescopic cylinder, and a tilting cylinder. A cam slide plate is mounted on one side of the telescopic cylinder, and a cam slide groove is provided on one side of the cam slide plate. A motion platform is slidably mounted on the upper end of the telescopic cylinder, and a sliding rail is provided on one side of the motion platform. A sliding block is mounted on the sliding rail, and a mounting plate is connected to the back of the sliding block. A cam is provided on one side of the mounting plate, and the cam and cam slide groove are slidably connected. A clamping cylinder is mounted on the lower end of the mounting plate, and a gripper assembly is provided at the lower end of the clamping cylinder. A tilting cylinder is provided on one side of the lower end of the clamping cylinder, and a rack is connected to the tilting cylinder facing the gripper assembly. A gear is connected to the gripper assembly on the side near the rack, and the rack and gear are meshed together.

[0008] Preferably, a lifting slide rail is installed on one side of the cam slide plate, and a lifting cylinder is provided on the lifting slide rail.

[0009] Preferably, the gripper assembly has a rotating gripper head at its bottom gripping point, and the rotating gripper head near the rack is fixedly connected to the gear.

[0010] Preferably, multiple sets of deceleration valves are provided at the telescopic cylinder, clamping cylinder, and lifting cylinder.

[0011] Preferably, the cam groove has a certain bending angle.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] This invention features a cam groove in the clamping and flipping mechanism. By moving the cam groove, the position of the FPC can be raised to a certain extent after clamping, thus achieving a better flipping action. Furthermore, the flipping mechanism controls the rotation of the rotatable clamping head, thereby achieving the flipping of the FPC without interfering with the clamping mechanism, and the whole system can achieve stable operation.

[0018] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0019] Example 1

[0020] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, this utility model proposes an FPC clamping and flipping mechanism, including a flipping cylinder, a telescopic cylinder, and a tilting cylinder. A cam slide plate is mounted on one side of the telescopic cylinder, and the cam slide plate is provided with a curved cam slide groove. The cam slide groove provides a track for the mounting plate to move. A motion platform is slidably mounted on the upper end of the telescopic cylinder. A sliding track is provided on one side of the motion platform, and a sliding block is mounted on the sliding track. The sliding block and the mounting plate are fixedly connected. When the telescopic cylinder controls the motion platform to move, the mounting plate moves according to the cam slide groove. This allows the sliding block to move on the sliding track. A mounting plate is connected to the back of the sliding block. A cam is provided on one side of the mounting plate. The cam and the cam groove are slidably connected. The cam moves on the cam groove. A clamping cylinder is installed at the lower end of the mounting plate. A gripper assembly is provided at the lower end of the clamping cylinder. The clamping cylinder is used to control the gripper assembly to clamp. A tilting cylinder is provided on one side of the lower end of the clamping cylinder. A rack is connected to the tilting cylinder facing the gripper assembly. The tilting cylinder controls the movement of the rack. A gear is connected to the gripper assembly on the side near the rack. The movement of the rack controls the rotation of the gear. The rack and the gear are meshed together.

[0021] Furthermore, a lifting slide rail is installed on one side of the cam slide plate, and a lifting cylinder is installed on the lifting slide rail. The lifting cylinder controls the movement of the entire device through the lifting slide rail.

[0022] Furthermore, a rotating gripping head is provided at the bottom gripping point of the gripper assembly. The rotating gripping head near the rack is fixedly connected to the gear. The rack movement controls the gear rotation, thereby driving the gripping head on one side to rotate.

[0023] Furthermore, multiple deceleration valves are installed in the telescopic cylinder, clamping cylinder, and lifting cylinder. The deceleration valves can smoothly reduce the operating speed of the cylinder from high speed to low speed, avoiding the impact and vibration caused by excessive speed at the end of the stroke.

[0024] Furthermore, the cam slide has a certain bending angle, which allows the mounting plate to move and further drives the FPC to change position.

[0025] The working principle of the FPC clamping and flipping mechanism based on Embodiment 1 is as follows: The structure adopts a cylinder and cam slide design. Because the position for clamping and flipping the FPC is 0.5mm higher than the horizontal, there is a positional interference problem. Therefore, the flipping structure uses a cam slide, rack and pinion, and gear combination. After the lifting cylinder descends, the air clamp first picks up the FPC. The telescopic cylinder and the flipping cylinder extend forward simultaneously. The cam slide, rack and pinion structure slightly lifts the FPC upward, and the clamping rotation shaft rotates 180 degrees, realizing the FPC flipping function. The overall design of the cam and rack and pinion structure is ingenious and the operation is stable.

[0026] The above specific embodiments are merely several preferred embodiments of this utility model. Based on the technical solution of this utility model and the relevant teachings of the above embodiments, those skilled in the art can make various alternative improvements and combinations to the above specific embodiments.
