Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated equipment production line technology, and in particular to a production line track distribution device for use inside automated testing equipment. Background Technology

[0002] During the production and assembly of PCBs or other electronic products, multiple tests are required to assess performance and appearance.

[0003] During testing, products are first loaded onto plastic trays, with each tray containing 22 products to be tested. Starting from the entrance of the automated testing machine, the plastic trays are conveyed via a conveyor belt to the testing fixtures inside the machine. A robotic arm picks up the products to be tested, places them into the fixtures, and begins testing. After testing, the products are returned to the plastic trays. However, the testing machine has two functional testing fixtures, and the same plastic tray cannot be assigned to either fixture; they must be separated. Currently, the testing equipment uses only one fixed conveyor belt, causing the two fixtures within the machine to be unable to receive the desired products. At the end of testing, the trays containing the products simply flow out along the original track, resulting in an inability to categorize product status and low work efficiency.

[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0021] Please see Figure 1 The embodiments of this utility model include:

[0022] A production line track distribution device for use inside an automated testing equipment, comprising: a working platform 1, a front-end production line 2, a translation module 3, a test platform assembly 4, a rear-end first production line 5, and a rear-end second production line 6.

[0023] Multiple test platform components are arranged side by side on the work platform. The front-end assembly line is set on the work platform upstream of the test platform components, and the end of the front-end assembly line extends to the bottom of the test platform components to transport the tray to each test platform component (test station). The rear first assembly line and the rear second assembly line are set on the work platform downstream of the test platform components. The translation module is connected to the front-end assembly line to drive it to move back and forth on the work platform so that the front-end assembly line is aligned with the rear first assembly line or the rear second assembly line.

[0024] In a further preferred embodiment, the front-end assembly line, the first rear assembly line, and the second rear assembly line have the same structure, mainly including an assembly line track 21, a conveyor belt 22, and a drive motor 23 for controlling the rotation of the assembly line belt. Each assembly line track has a motor installed on it.

[0025] In a further preferred embodiment, sensors 7 for detecting the position of the tray are installed on the front-end assembly line, the first rear assembly line, and the second rear assembly line.

[0026] In a further preferred embodiment, a blocking mechanism is provided on the front end of the assembly line to position the pallet.

[0027] More preferably, a fixing frame 24 is provided at both ends of the front-end assembly line to stabilize the front-end assembly line and facilitate the installation of blocking mechanisms and sensors.

[0028] A further preferred embodiment includes a blocking mechanism comprising a blocking cylinder and a blocking block connected to the blocking cylinder, wherein the blocking cylinder drives the blocking block to move up and down or horizontally to extend into or out of the front end of the production line.

[0029] Further preferably, the translation module can use common drive equipment such as translation cylinders or linear modules.

[0030] In a further preferred embodiment, the front-end production line, translation module, test platform component, back-end first production line, and back-end second production line are all controlled by PLC.

[0031] Each test platform component includes a fixed bracket 41, a lifting device 42, and a side clamping device 43. The fixed bracket is set on the work platform, the lifting device is set below the fixed bracket to drive the pallet to move up and down, and the side clamping device is set on both sides of the fixed bracket to clamp the pallet.

[0032] The lifting device is set on the work platform and is used to lift the pallet from the front assembly line to the test platform component. It can also be used to lower the pallet from the test platform component to the front assembly line. It includes a lifting drive device and a lifting frame. The output end of the lifting drive device passes through the front assembly line and is connected to the lifting frame so that the pallet can be driven to move up and down through the lifting frame, thereby moving back and forth between the test position and the conveying position.

[0033] The side clamping device includes a side clamping cylinder and a pallet gripper. The side clamping cylinder drives the pallet gripper to move back and forth to clamp or release the pallet.

[0034] In a further preferred embodiment, the fixed support includes a crossbeam 411 and four columns 412, with the columns mounted on the working platform and the crossbeam mounted on the columns.

[0035] During use, the tray loaded with products flows in from the front-end assembly line track. After the sensor detects the tray, the front-end assembly line belt rotates to drive the movement of the tray. At the same time, the blocking cylinder extends. When the tray flows to the position of the blocking cylinder, the second sensor can sense the tray, and at this time, the belt stops rotating. The translation module drives the front-end assembly line to move to the lifting device below the target test platform component. At this time, the side clamping device on the fixed bracket will open, and the tray is lifted by the lifting device to the test position on the fixed bracket. The side clamping device closes to clamp the tray, and the lifting device returns to its original position and waits for the testing machine to grab the products in the tray for sampling inspection.

[0036] When the tray product test is completed, when the product is judged to be qualified, the lifting device rises again and holds the tray. The side clamping device opens, and the lifting device drives the tray to fall onto the front-end assembly line. The translation module moves the front-end assembly line to align with the corresponding rear-end second assembly line, the blocking cylinder retracts, and the assembly line motor rotates, causing the tray to flow out from the rear-end second assembly line. When the product is judged to be unqualified, the translation module moves the front-end assembly line to align with the rear-end first assembly line, the blocking cylinder retracts, and the assembly line motor rotates, causing the tray to flow out from the rear-end first assembly line.

[0037] The beneficial effect of a flow line track distribution device inside an automated detection device of the present utility model is that the tray loaded with products can be distributed to the corresponding test areas of different test fixtures according to different detection and use requirements, and can be transferred to the next-level "qualified product" or "unqualified product" flow line through the translation track after the product test is completed, avoiding the confusion of products in different states being output to the next device. This not only effectively improves work efficiency but also improves the accuracy of detection distribution, which is beneficial to the improvement of production capacity.

[0038] The above are only the embodiments of the present utility model, and thus do not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made using the content of the specification of the present utility model, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, is similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
