Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of electronic component manufacturing, in particular to a pressing mechanism and dust removal equipment. BACKGROUND

[0002] On an electronic product production line, some parts are usually developed into a whole during production, and then cut into multiple individual workpieces by a board cutting machine. When the board cutting machine cuts the board, board scraps will be left on the workpiece, which will affect the product performance, so the workpiece after cutting the board needs to be dusted to improve the product yield.

[0003] In general, physical dust removal operations all need to blow the workpiece to remove the board scraps left on the workpiece by using high-speed airflow. Therefore, it is necessary to fix the workpiece without damaging the workpiece so as to effectively remove dust from the workpiece. CONTENT OF THE UTILITY MODEL

[0004] Therefore, the present application provides a pressing mechanism and dust removal equipment, which presses and clamps the workpiece when dusting the workpiece to be cleaned, which is beneficial to avoid damage to the workpiece by high-speed airflow.

[0005] An embodiment of the present application provides a pressing mechanism applied to dust removal equipment. The pressing mechanism comprises a clamping jaw, a pressing plate assembly and a second driving member. The clamping jaw is used to grab a carrier. The clamping jaw has a clamping end. The clamping end is at least stopped on one side of the carrier along a first direction. The carrier is used to carry a workpiece. The pressing plate assembly is used to apply a force to the workpiece along the first direction, so that the clamping end is at least stopped on one side of the carrier along the first direction. The second driving member is connected with the clamping jaw to drive the clamping jaw to move along a second direction. The pressing plate assembly applies the force to the workpiece along the first direction, so that the clamping end is arranged opposite to the carrier along the second direction. The second driving member drives the clamping jaw to move along the second direction to grab the carrier. The first direction and the second direction intersect.

[0006] The carrier carrying the workpiece is generally arranged on a flow line and transported from one work station to the next work station. When the carrier carrying the workpiece to be cleaned enters the dust removal equipment, the pressing plate assembly applies a force to the workpiece along the first direction to press the workpiece on the carrier and fix the workpiece between the pressing plate assembly and the carrier. At this time, the clamping end of the clamping jaw is opposite to the carrier along the second direction, and the second driving member drives the clamping jaw to move along the second direction, so that the clamping end is at least stopped on one side of the carrier along the first direction. In this way, the workpiece is limited along the first direction, the reverse direction of the first direction and the second direction, and the high-speed airflow blows the workpiece, which helps to avoid the workpiece from moving or falling off, so as to effectively remove dust from the workpiece to be cleaned without damaging the workpiece.

[0007] In some embodiments of the present application, the pressing mechanism further comprises an adapter assembly. The second driving member and the pressing plate assembly are arranged on the adapter assembly. When the adapter assembly moves in the first direction, the pressing plate assembly contacts the workpiece and applies a force to the workpiece so that the clamping end is arranged opposite to the carrier in the second direction.

[0008] By arranging the second driving member and the pressing plate assembly on the adapter assembly, the entire pressing mechanism can move in the first direction, and the position between the pressing plate assembly and the workpiece can be adjusted to adapt to workpieces of different shapes or sizes. Moreover, the first direction and the second direction intersect, so that the space arrangement of the entire pressing mechanism is more compact.

[0009] In some embodiments of the present application, the pressing mechanism further comprises a first driving member. The first driving member is connected to the adapter assembly to drive the adapter assembly to move in the first direction or the reverse direction of the first direction.

[0010] When the pressing plate assembly and the carrier clamp the workpiece, and the clamping jaw clamps the carrier, the carrier together with the workpiece can be moved away from the assembly line track in the reverse direction of the first direction by the first driving member, so that the workpiece is blown at multiple angles by a wind gun of a dust removal device or other devices providing high-speed airflow, thereby improving the dust removal effect. Moreover, during the entire movement process, the workpiece is always clamped between the carrier and the pressing plate assembly in a stable posture, and the workpiece is still clamped until the carrier and the workpiece are moved to the blowing area. The first driving member can also be used to provide the force applied by the pressing plate assembly to the workpiece to press the workpiece.

[0011] In some embodiments of the present application, the adapter assembly comprises an adapter plate, a guide rod and an elastic member. The second driving member is connected to the adapter plate. The guide rod extends in the first direction. The adapter plate and the pressing plate assembly are connected to the guide rod. The pressing plate assembly and the adapter plate are arranged in the first direction. The elastic member is arranged between the adapter plate and the pressing plate assembly to enable the elastic force to be applied to the pressing plate assembly.

[0012] By arranging the compressed elastic member between the adapter plate and the pressing plate assembly, the tolerance can be compensated by the elastic member when the carrier or the workpiece has different sizes. The arrangement of the elastic member also helps to provide a buffer effect when the pressing plate assembly contacts and presses the workpiece, reduces the impact on the workpiece caused by the sudden application of force by the pressing plate assembly to the workpiece, and is beneficial to avoid damage to the surface of the workpiece.

[0013] In some embodiments of the present application, the guide rod, the adapter plate and the pressing plate assembly can be fixedly connected, and the elastic member is compressed between the adapter plate and the pressing plate assembly to apply an elastic force to the pressing plate assembly and thus to the workpiece.

[0014] In some embodiments of the present application, the adapter assembly further comprises a stop member. The stop member is connected to the guide rod and is used to stop the adapter plate from being separated from the guide rod.

[0015] The stopper is fixedly connected to the guide rod and located on the side of the adapter plate away from the pressing plate assembly. The stopper can prevent the adapter plate from being separated from the guide rod under the action of the elastic member.

[0016] In some embodiments of the present application, the adapter plate comprises a first plate and a second plate. The first plate and the second plate are detachably connected, and the second plate is slidable relative to the first plate in a second direction. The number of the second plates is two. The two second plates are located on both sides of the first plate in the second direction. The second driving member is connected to the first plate. The second plate is provided with a sliding groove. The sliding groove extends in a third direction. One end of the guide rod is fixedly connected to the pressing plate assembly, and the other end of the guide rod is slidably connected to the sliding groove. The first direction, the second direction and the third direction intersect with each other.

[0017] The end of the guide rod connected to the adapter plate is movable, so that the adapter plate can move along the guide rod towards the pressing plate assembly, the elastic member is compressed, the pressing plate assembly is subjected to elastic force and thus exerts force on the workpiece. The first plate and the two second plates are detachably connected, and the second plate is slidable relative to the first plate in the second direction, i.e. in the second direction, the size of the adapter plate is adjustable. The second plate is provided with a sliding groove extending in the third direction, and the position of the guide rod in the third direction is also adjustable. Further, the pressing plate assembly can be replaced according to workpieces of different sizes, so as to improve the applicability of the entire pressing mechanism.

[0018] In some embodiments of the present application, the adapter plate has a first side facing the pressing plate assembly. In the first direction, the distance between the clamping end and the first side is greater than the distance between the pressing plate assembly and the first side.

[0019] If the clamping jaw is located between the adapter plate and the pressing plate assembly, when the pressing plate assembly contacts the workpiece on the carrier, the clamping end of the clamping jaw has not yet opposed the edge of the carrier, and the clamping jaw is far away from the carrier in the first direction. The adapter plate moves a long distance in the first direction. Since the pressing plate assembly has contacted the workpiece and exerts a force on the workpiece at this time, the adapter plate continues to move in the first direction, which causes the pressing plate assembly to exert a greater force on the workpiece, which may damage the workpiece. Therefore, in the first direction, the distance between the clamping jaw and the first side is greater than the distance between the pressing plate assembly and the first side, that is, the clamping jaw is located on the side of the pressing plate assembly away from the adapter plate. In this way, the adapter plate moves in the first direction, and the pressing plate assembly moves in the first direction together under the action of the guide rod. When the side of the pressing plate assembly that faces the carrier contacts the workpiece, the clamping end of the clamping jaw may not have opposed the edge of the carrier. Then the adapter plate moves a short distance in the first direction, and the clamping jaw can clamp the carrier, and the pressing plate assembly will not exert an excessive force on the workpiece, which helps to avoid damage to the workpiece by the pressing plate assembly. Of course, if the clamping end of the clamping jaw has opposed the edge of the carrier when the pressing plate assembly contacts the workpiece and exerts a force, the adapter plate does not need to continue to move in the first direction. Understandably, the distance between the clamping jaw and the first side cannot be too large. If it is too large, the clamping jaw will have missed the opportunity to clamp the carrier when the pressing plate assembly contacts the workpiece.

[0020] In some embodiments of the present application, the number of clamping jaws is two. The clamping ends of the two clamping jaws are oppositely and spacedly arranged. The second driving member is used to drive the clamping ends of the two clamping jaws to move close in the second direction to grasp the carrier.

[0021] The two clamping jaws can more stably clamp the carrier. The clamping ends of the two clamping jaws are oppositely arranged in the second direction. Therefore, before grasping the carrier, the distance between the two clamping jaws in the second direction is greater than the carrier, which is for two reasons. One is that the two clamping jaws can adapt to carriers of different sizes. The other is that the two clamping jaws need to give way to the carrier. When the carrier can be grasped, the second driving member drives the two clamping jaws to move close in the second direction to grasp the carrier. The second driving member can be in the form of a motor, and can also be in the form of a pneumatic cylinder.

[0022] In some embodiments of the present application, the pressing plate assembly includes a pressing plate and a buffer. The pressing plate has a second side facing the carrier. The buffer is connected to the second side. The buffer is used to contact the workpiece.

[0023] The buffer is arranged on the second side of the pressing plate. When the pressing plate moves in the first direction, the buffer contacts the surface of the workpiece instead of the plate surface of the pressing plate. In this way, the compressibility and elasticity of the buffer can protect the workpiece from being crushed under the force of the pressing plate assembly, and the buffer can effectively ensure that the workpiece does not move when it is blown. The buffer can be a rubber column, a foam strip, or other soft and elastic materials with a certain thickness.

[0024] In some embodiments of the present application, the pressing plate assembly further comprises a limiting member. The limiting member is connected to the second side. In the first direction, the length of the limiting member is less than the length of the buffer member.

[0025] Since some workpieces are not a complete plate surface, i.e., some areas of the workpiece are hollowed out, the buffer member arranged on the second side may be located in these hollowed-out areas. Further, a limiting member is arranged on the second side. The limiting member is used to contact the carrier, which is beneficial to prevent the pressing plate from directly contacting the workpiece.

[0026] In some embodiments of the present application, the pressing mechanism further comprises a sensor. The sensor is used to sense whether the second side of the pressing plate has the carrier.

[0027] When the sensor senses that the second side of the pressing plate has the carrier, the entire pressing mechanism starts the pressing operation.

[0028] An embodiment of the present application provides a dust removal device. The dust removal device comprises a dust suction device, a dust discharge pipe, and a dust removal chamber. The dust suction device is used to remove dust in the dust removal chamber. The dust discharge pipe is used to connect the dust suction device and the dust removal chamber. The dust removal device further comprises a pressing mechanism arranged in the dust removal chamber.

[0029] The pressing mechanism is arranged in the dust removal chamber. Under the action of the pressing mechanism, the workpiece to be cleaned is moved to the blowing area, so that the dust suction device blows and removes dust in multiple directions, and the workpiece is clamped between the pressing plate assembly and the carrier, which helps to prevent the workpiece from being blown away during blowing and dust removal.

[0040] It should be noted that when an element is considered to be "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there can be a middle element.

[0041] The embodiments of the present application provide a pressing mechanism applied to a dust removal device. The pressing mechanism includes a clamping jaw, a pressing plate assembly and a second driving member. The clamping jaw is used to grab a carrier. The clamping jaw has a clamping end. The clamping end is at least stopped at one side of the carrier along a first direction. The carrier is used to carry a workpiece. The pressing plate assembly is used to apply a force to the workpiece along the first direction, so that the clamping end is at least stopped at one side of the carrier along the first direction. The second driving member and the clamping jaw are connected to drive the clamping jaw to move along a second direction. The pressing plate assembly applies a force to the workpiece along the first direction, so that the clamping end is relatively arranged with the carrier along the second direction. The second driving member drives the clamping jaw to move along the second direction to grab the carrier. The first direction and the second direction intersect.

[0042] The carrier with the workpiece is generally arranged on a flow line and transported from one work station to the next work station. When the carrier with the workpiece to be cleaned enters the dust removal device, the pressing plate assembly applies a force to the workpiece in the first direction to press the workpiece tightly on the carrier and fix the workpiece between the pressing plate assembly and the carrier. At this time, the clamping end of the clamping jaw is opposite to the carrier in the second direction. The second driving member drives the clamping jaw to move in the second direction, so that the clamping end is at least stopped on one side of the carrier in the first direction. In this way, the workpiece is limited in the first direction, the reverse direction of the first direction and the second direction, and the high-speed airflow blows on the workpiece, which helps to avoid the movement or falling of the workpiece, so that the workpiece to be cleaned can be effectively dusted without damaging the workpiece.

[0043] Some embodiments of the present application will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. The following embodiments and features of the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.

[0044] Referring to Figures 1 to 3 An embodiment of the present application provides a pressing mechanism 100 applied to a dust removal device. The pressing mechanism 100 includes a clamping jaw 12, a pressing plate assembly 2 and a second driving member 11. The clamping jaw 12 is used to grab the carrier 5. The clamping jaw 12 has a clamping end 121. The clamping end 121 is at least stopped on one side of the carrier 5 in the first direction Z. The carrier 5 is used to carry a workpiece. The pressing plate assembly 2 is used to apply a force to the workpiece in the first direction Z, so that the clamping end 121 is at least stopped on one side of the carrier 5 in the first direction Z. The second driving member 11 is connected with the clamping jaw 12 to drive the clamping jaw 12 to move in the second direction X. The pressing plate assembly 2 applies a force to the workpiece in the first direction Z, so that the clamping end 121 is arranged opposite to the carrier 5 in the second direction X. The second driving member 11 drives the clamping jaw 12 to move in the second direction X to grab the carrier 5. The first direction Z and the second direction X intersect.

[0045] The carrier 5 with the workpiece is generally arranged on a flow line and transported from one work station to the next work station. When the carrier 5 with the workpiece to be cleaned enters the dust removal device, the pressing plate assembly 2 applies a force to the workpiece in the first direction Z to press the workpiece tightly on the carrier 5 and fix the workpiece between the pressing plate assembly 2 and the carrier 5. At this time, the clamping end 121 of the clamping jaw 12 is arranged opposite to the carrier 5 in the second direction X. The second driving member 11 drives the clamping jaw 12 to move in the second direction X, so that the clamping end 121 is at least stopped on one side of the carrier 5 in the first direction Z. In this way, the workpiece is limited in the first direction Z, the reverse direction of the first direction Z and the second direction X. The high-speed airflow blows on the workpiece, which helps to avoid the movement or falling of the workpiece, so that the workpiece to be cleaned can be effectively dusted without damaging the workpiece.

[0046] In some embodiments, the pressing mechanism 100 further comprises a transfer assembly 3. The second driving member 11 and the pressing plate assembly 2 are arranged on the transfer assembly 3. When the transfer assembly 3 moves along the first direction Z, the pressing plate assembly 2 contacts the workpiece and applies a force to make the clamping end 121 oppositely arranged along the second direction X and the carrier 5.

[0047] Arranging the second driving member 11 and the pressing plate assembly 2 on the transfer assembly 3, the entire pressing mechanism 100 can move along the first direction Z, and the position between the pressing plate assembly 2 and the workpiece can be adjusted to adapt to workpieces of different shapes or sizes. Moreover, the first direction Z and the second direction X intersect, which can make the space arrangement of the entire pressing mechanism 100 more compact.

[0048] In some embodiments, the pressing mechanism 100 further comprises a first driving member (not shown in the figure). The first driving member is connected with the transfer assembly 3 to drive the transfer assembly 3 to move along the first direction Z or the reverse direction of the first direction Z.

[0049] When the pressing plate assembly 2 and the carrier 5 clamp the workpiece, and the clamping jaw 12 clamps the carrier 5, the carrier 5 together with the workpiece can be driven by the first driving member to move along the reverse direction of the first direction Z away from the assembly line track, so that the workpiece can be blown from multiple angles by a wind gun of a dust removal device or other devices providing high-speed airflow, thereby improving the dust removal effect. Moreover, during the entire movement process, the workpiece is always clamped between the carrier 5 and the pressing plate assembly 2 in a stable posture, and the workpiece is still clamped until the carrier 5 and the workpiece are moved to the blowing area. The first driving member can also be used to provide the force applied by the pressing plate assembly 2 to the workpiece to press the workpiece. The first driving member can be in the form of a pneumatic cylinder.

[0050] In some embodiments, the transfer assembly 3 comprises a transfer plate 31, a guide rod 32 and an elastic member. The second driving member 11 is connected with the transfer plate 31. The guide rod 32 extends along the first direction Z. The transfer plate 31 and the pressing plate assembly 2 are connected with the guide rod 32. The transfer plate 31 and the pressing plate assembly 2 are arranged at intervals along the first direction Z. The elastic member is arranged between the transfer plate 31 and the pressing plate assembly 2 to enable the elastic force to be applied to the pressing plate assembly 2.

[0051] The elastic member arranged between the transfer plate 31 and the pressing plate assembly 2 can compensate for tolerances when the carrier 5 or the workpiece has different sizes. The arrangement of the elastic member also helps to provide a buffering effect when the pressing plate assembly 2 contacts and presses the workpiece, thereby reducing the impact on the workpiece caused by the sudden application of force by the pressing plate assembly 2 to the workpiece, and is conducive to avoiding damage to the surface of the workpiece.

[0052] In some embodiments, the guide rod 32, the transfer plate 31 and the pressing plate assembly 2 can be fixedly connected, and the elastic member is compressed between the transfer plate 31 and the pressing plate assembly 2 to apply an elastic force to the pressing plate assembly 2 and thereby apply a force to the workpiece.

[0053] In some embodiments, the adapter assembly 3 further comprises a stopper 34. The stopper 34 is connected to the guide rod 32 and is used to stop the adapter plate 31 from being detached from the guide rod 32.

[0054] Since the elastic member needs to be compressed between the adapter plate 31 and the pressing plate assembly 2, the stopper 34 can prevent the adapter plate 31 from being detached from the guide rod 32 under the action of the elastic member. The stopper 34 is fixedly connected to the guide rod 32 and located on the side of the adapter plate 31 away from the pressing plate assembly 2.

[0055] In some embodiments, the adapter plate 31 comprises a first plate 311 and a second plate 312. The first plate 311 and the second plate 312 are detachably connected, and the second plate 312 is slidable relative to the first plate 311 along a second direction X. The number of the second plates 312 is two. The two second plates 312 are located on both sides of the first plate 311 along the second direction X. The second driving member 11 is connected to the first plate 311. The second plate 312 is provided with a sliding groove 3121 extending along a third direction Y. One end of the guide rod 32 is fixedly connected to the pressing plate assembly 2, and the other end of the guide rod 32 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 3121. The first direction Z, the second direction X and the third direction Y intersect with each other.

[0056] The end of the guide rod 32 connected to the adapter plate 31 is movable, so that the adapter plate 31 can move along the guide rod 32 towards the pressing plate assembly 2, the elastic member is compressed, and the pressing plate assembly 2 is subjected to an elastic force to exert a force on the workpiece. The first plate 311 and the two second plates 312 are detachably connected, and the second plate 312 is slidable relative to the first plate 311 along the second direction X, that is, in the second direction X, the size of the adapter plate 31 is adjustable. The second plate 312 is provided with a sliding groove 3121 extending along the third direction Y, and the position of the guide rod 32 in the third direction Y is also adjustable, and further, the pressing plate assembly 2 can be replaced according to workpieces of different sizes, so as to improve the applicability of the entire pressing mechanism 100.

[0057] In some embodiments, the adapter plate 31 has a first side 3101 facing the pressing plate assembly 2. In the first direction Z, the distance between the clamping end 121 and the first side 3101 is greater than the distance between the pressing plate assembly 2 and the first side 3101.

[0058] If the clamping jaw 12 is located between the adapter plate 31 and the pressing plate assembly 2, when the pressing plate assembly 2 contacts the workpiece on the carrier 5, the clamping end 121 of the clamping jaw 12 has not yet opposed the edge of the carrier 5, the distance between the clamping jaw 12 and the carrier 5 in the first direction Z is far, and the distance that the adapter plate 31 moves in the first direction Z is also far. Since the pressing plate assembly 2 has contacted the workpiece and exerts force on the workpiece at this time, the adapter plate 31 continues to move in the first direction Z, which will make the pressing plate assembly 2 exert greater force on the workpiece, which may damage the workpiece. Therefore, in the first direction Z, the distance between the clamping jaw 12 and the first side 3101 is greater than the distance between the pressing plate assembly 2 and the first side 3101, that is, the clamping jaw 12 is located on the side of the pressing plate assembly 2 away from the adapter plate 31. In this way, the adapter plate 31 moves in the first direction Z, and under the action of the guide rod 32, the pressing plate assembly 2 also moves in the first direction Z. When the side of the pressing plate assembly 2 that faces the carrier 5 contacts the workpiece, the clamping end 121 of the clamping jaw 12 may not have opposed the edge of the carrier 5. Then, the adapter plate 31 moves a short distance in the first direction Z, and the clamping jaw 12 can clamp the carrier 5, and the pressing plate assembly 2 will not exert excessive force on the workpiece, which helps to avoid damage to the workpiece by the pressing plate assembly 2. Of course, if the clamping end 121 of the clamping jaw 12 has opposed the edge of the carrier 5 when the pressing plate assembly 2 contacts the workpiece and exerts force, the adapter plate 31 does not need to continue to move in the first direction Z. Understandably, the distance between the clamping jaw 12 and the first side 3101 cannot be too large. If it is too large, the clamping jaw 12 will have missed the opportunity to clamp the carrier 5 when the pressing plate assembly 2 contacts the workpiece.

[0059] In some embodiments, the pressing mechanism 100 further comprises a first driving member (not shown in the figure). The first driving member is connected to the adapter assembly 3 to drive the adapter assembly 3 to move in the first direction Z or the reverse direction of the first direction Z. The first driving member is connected to the side of the adapter plate 31 away from the first side 3101, and the second driving member 11 is connected to the first side 3101.

[0060] In some embodiments, the number of clamping jaws 12 is two. The clamping ends 121 of the two clamping jaws 12 are oppositely and spacedly arranged. The second driving member 11 is used to drive the clamping ends 121 of the two clamping jaws 12 to move close to each other in the second direction X to grab the carrier 5.

[0061] The two clamping jaws 12 can more stably clamp the carrier 5. The clamping ends 121 of the two clamping jaws 12 are oppositely arranged in the second direction X, so that before grabbing the carrier 5, the distance between the two clamping jaws 12 in the second direction X is greater than the length of the carrier 5. One is that the two clamping jaws 12 can adapt to carriers 5 of different sizes, and the other is that the two clamping jaws 12 need to give way to the carrier 5. When the carrier 5 can be grabbed, the second driving member 11 drives the two clamping jaws 12 to move close to each other in the second direction X to grab the carrier 5. The second driving member 11 can be in the form of a motor, and can also be a pneumatic cylinder.

[0062] In some embodiments, the pressing plate assembly 2 comprises a pressing plate 21 and a buffer 22. The pressing plate 21 has a second side 211 facing the carrier 5. The buffer 22 is connected to the second side 211. The buffer 22 is used to contact the workpiece.

[0063] The buffer 22 is arranged on the second side 211 of the pressing plate 21. When the pressing plate 21 moves along the first direction Z, the buffer 22 contacts the surface of the workpiece instead of the plate surface of the pressing plate 21. In this way, the compressibility and elasticity of the buffer 22 can protect the workpiece from being crushed under the force of the pressing plate assembly 2, and the buffer 22 can effectively prevent the workpiece from moving when it is blown.

[0064] In some embodiments, the pressing plate assembly 2 further comprises a limiting piece 23. The limiting piece 23 is connected to the second side 211. Along the first direction Z, the length of the limiting piece 23 is less than the length of the buffer 22.

[0065] Since some workpieces are not a complete plate surface, i.e., some areas of the workpiece are hollow, the buffer 22 arranged on the second side 211 may be located in these hollow areas. By further arranging the limiting piece 23 on the second side 211, the limiting piece 23 is used to contact the carrier 5, which is beneficial to prevent the pressing plate 21 from directly contacting the workpiece. It can be understood that the pressing plate 21 is also designed to be hollow, which helps to save materials, and the arrangement of the buffer 22 on the second side 211 should ensure that the pressure applied by the pressing plate 21 to the workpiece is as uniform as possible.

[0066] In some embodiments, the pressing mechanism 100 further comprises a sensor 4. The sensor 4 is used to sense that the second side 211 of the pressing plate 21 has the carrier 5.

[0067] When the sensor 4 senses that the second side 211 of the pressing plate 21 has the carrier 5, the entire pressing mechanism 100 starts the pressing operation.

[0068] In some embodiments, the pressing plate assembly 2 further comprises a positioning piece 24 connected to the second side 211. Correspondingly, the carrier 5 is provided with a positioning hole (not shown in the figure), which helps the pressing mechanism 100 to confirm the position of the carrier 5.

[0069] In some embodiments, the elastic piece is a spring 33, the spring 33 is arranged around the guide rod 32, and one end of the spring 33 abuts against the adapter plate 31, and the other end of the spring 33 abuts against the pressing plate 21, so that the spring 33 is compressed between the pressing plate 21 and the adapter plate 31.

[0070] Please refer to Figure 3When the sensor 4 senses that the second side 211 of the pressing plate 21 has the carrier 5, the pressing mechanism 100 starts the pressing operation, a first driving member (not shown in the figure) drives the adapter assembly 3, the clamping jaw 12 and the pressing plate assembly 2 to move along the first direction Z, when the positioning member 24 falls into the positioning hole on the carrier 5, it indicates that the position between the pressing mechanism 100 and the carrier 5 is correct, the first driving member continues to work, the second side 211 of the pressing plate 21 contacts the workpiece, the first driving member continues to drive the adapter plate 31 to move along the first direction Z, so that the spring 33 is further compressed, until the clamping end 121 of the clamping jaw 12 is opposite to the edge of the carrier 5, the first driving member stops driving the pressing mechanism 100 to move along the first direction Z. The second driving member 11 drives the two clamping jaws 12 to move along the second direction X to grab the carrier 5. The first driving member drives the entire pressing mechanism 100 together with the carrier 5 to move along the first direction Z in the reverse direction, so as to take the carrier 5 together with the workpiece away from the track of the assembly line to the blowing area. When the first driving member works in the reverse direction along the first direction Z, the pressing plate 21 can always apply a force to the workpiece on the carrier 5 due to the action of the spring 33, and the workpiece can be clamped between the pressing plate 21 and the carrier 5.

[0071] It can be understood that, in the embodiments provided in the present application, the first direction Z is unidirectional, and the second direction X and the third direction Y are bidirectional, but this does not limit the embodiments.

[0072] In the present application, the carrier 5 carrying the workpiece and the pressing plate 21 of the pressing mechanism 100 are used to clamp the workpiece, which is more stable than using a mechanical hand or only using the clamping jaw 12 to grab the workpiece, and is conducive to avoiding damage to the workpiece during dust removal.

[0073] An embodiment of the present application provides a dust removal equipment (not shown in the figure). The dust removal equipment includes a dust suction device, a dust discharge pipe and a dust removal chamber. The dust suction device is used for dust removal in the dust removal chamber. The dust discharge pipe is used for connecting the dust suction device and the dust removal chamber. The dust removal equipment further includes the pressing mechanism 100, and the pressing mechanism 100 is arranged in the dust removal chamber.

[0074] The pressing mechanism 100 is arranged in the dust removal chamber, and under the action of the pressing mechanism 100, the workpiece to be cleaned is moved to the blowing area, so that the dust suction device can blow and remove dust in multiple directions, and the workpiece is clamped between the pressing plate assembly 2 and the carrier 5, which is conducive to preventing the workpiece from being blown away during blowing and dust removal.

[0075] In some embodiments, the dust suction device includes a dust collector and an air gun, the dust collector is used for sucking dust and board scraps from the dust removal chamber through the dust discharge pipe, and the air gun is used for providing high-speed airflow to blow and remove dust from the workpiece. The air gun can be provided in multiple numbers to blow and remove dust from the workpiece from multiple angles.

[0076] In addition, those skilled in the art should understand that the above implementation is only used to illustrate the present application, and is not used as a limitation to the present application, and as long as the above implementation is within the spirit and scope of the present application, the appropriate changes and modifications of the above implementation are within the scope of the present application.
