[0027] Preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in more detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. While preferred embodiments of the present invention are shown in the drawings, it should be understood that the present invention may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited to the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, these embodiments are provided so that the present invention will be thorough and complete, and will fully convey the scope of the present invention to those skilled in the art.

[0028] Example 1

[0029] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a PCB pad protection system, including a transport line 1, on which a pad protection device 2 is placed, the pad protection device 2 including a magnetic snap-fit ​​3; a production line 4 is arranged near one side of the transport line 1, on which a PCB 5 is placed, and the production line 4 drives the PCB 5 to move; a disassembly and assembly mechanism 6 is respectively arranged at both ends of the production line 4 near the transport line 1, the disassembly and assembly mechanism 6 is used to change the adsorption state of the magnetic snap-fit ​​3, so that the magnetic snap-fit ​​3 adsorbs or releases the PCB 5.

[0030] Transport line 1 is an arc-shaped transport line, with both ends located below production line 4. The first end of transport line 1 is close to the first disassembly / assembly mechanism 6, and the second end is close to the second disassembly / assembly mechanism 6. The first disassembly / assembly mechanism 6 is used to install the pad protection device 2, and the second disassembly / assembly mechanism 6 is used to disassemble the pad protection device 2. Transport line 1 is responsible for conveying the pad protection device 2 disassembled by the second disassembly / assembly mechanism 6 from the second end of transport line 1 to the first end of transport line 1, so that the pad protection device 2 can be installed and used by the first disassembly / assembly mechanism 6, allowing the pad protection device 2 to be reused by PCB 5.

[0031] The production line 4 is equipped with a first disassembly and assembly station and a second disassembly and assembly station. The first disassembly and assembly mechanism 6 is located above the first disassembly and assembly station, and the second disassembly and assembly mechanism 6 is located above the second disassembly and assembly station.

[0032] When the production line 4 moves the PCB5 to the first assembly / disassembly station, the first assembly / disassembly mechanism 6 moves downward until it contacts the magnetic clip 3 of the pad protection device 2. At this time, power is supplied to the first assembly / disassembly mechanism 6, which then begins to attract the magnetic clip 3, changing its state from unattached to attracted. When the magnetic clip 3 is in the attracted state, its position changes; it changes from a released state to a retracted state, allowing it to directly snap into the PCB5. After the magnetic clip 3 is in the PCB5, power is de-energized to the first assembly / disassembly mechanism 6, and it no longer attracts the magnetic clip 3, changing its state from attracted to unattached. When the magnetic snap-on clip 3 is not in the adsorption state, the magnetic snap-on clip 3 returns to its original position and changes from the retracted state to the released state, so that the magnetic snap-on clip 3 is directly fixed on the PCB5 after being inserted into the PCB5, thereby fixing the pad protection device 2 on the PCB5.

[0033] When the production line 4 moves the PCB5 with the pad protection device 2 fixed on it to the second disassembly / reassembly station, the second disassembly / reassembly mechanism 6 moves downward until it contacts the magnetic clip 3 of the pad protection device 2 fixed on the PCB5. At this time, power is supplied to the second disassembly / reassembly mechanism 6, and the mechanism begins to attract the magnetic clip 3. The magnetic clip 3 changes from an unattracted state to an attracted state, and then from a released state to a retracted state, causing it to detach from the PCB5. After the magnetic clip 3 detaches from the PCB5, power is cut off to the second disassembly / reassembly mechanism 6, and it stops attracting the magnetic clip 3. The clip 3 changes from an attracted state to a non-attracted state. Under the action of gravity, the pad protection device 2 falls directly onto the second end of the transport line 1. The transport line 1 transports the pad protection device 2 removed from the second disassembly / reassembly station to the first end of the transport line 1 for reuse on the PCB5 at the first disassembly / reassembly station.

[0034] This embodiment of a PCB pad protection system includes a transport line 1, on which a pad protection device 2 is placed. The pad protection device 2 includes a magnetic snap-fit ​​3. A production line 4 is arranged near one side of the transport line 1, on which a PCB 5 is placed, and the production line 4 drives the PCB 5 to move. Disassembly and assembly mechanisms 6 are respectively arranged at both ends of the production line 4 near the transport line 1. The disassembly and assembly mechanisms 6 are used to change the adsorption state of the magnetic snap-fit ​​3, so that the magnetic snap-fit ​​3 adsorbs or releases the PCB 5. A first end of the transport line 1 is close to a first disassembly and assembly mechanism 6, and a second end of the transport line 1 is close to a second disassembly and assembly mechanism 6. The first disassembly and assembly mechanism 6 is used to install the pad protection device 2 on the PCB 5, and the second disassembly and assembly mechanism 6 is used to remove the pad protection device 2 from the PCB 5. The conveyor line 1 transports the pad protection device 2 from the second end of the conveyor line 1 to the first end of the conveyor line 1, allowing the pad protection device 2 removed from the PCB 5 to be reused by the PCB 5, significantly reducing production costs. When the disassembly and assembly mechanism 6 installs or removes the pad protection device 2 from the PCB 5, by energizing and de-energizing the disassembly and assembly mechanism 6, the magnetic latch 3 is attracted or released, changing the attraction state of the magnetic latch 3 so that the magnetic latch 3 can be engaged with or detached from the PCB 5, thereby realizing the automatic installation and disassembly of the PCB 5 and the pad protection device 2, greatly improving production efficiency. At the same time, the pad protection device 2 protects the PCB 5, improving product quality.

[0035] Example 2

[0036] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a PCB pad protection system, including a transport line 1, on which a pad protection device 2 is placed, the pad protection device 2 including a magnetic snap-fit ​​3; a production line 4 is arranged near one side of the transport line 1, on which a PCB 5 is placed, and the production line 4 drives the PCB 5 to move; a disassembly and assembly mechanism 6 is respectively arranged at both ends of the production line 4 near the transport line 1, the disassembly and assembly mechanism 6 is used to change the adsorption state of the magnetic snap-fit ​​3, so that the magnetic snap-fit ​​3 adsorbs or releases the PCB 5.

[0037] The magnetic buckle 3 includes a sliding component 7 and a connecting rod assembly 8. The sliding component 7 is hinged to the connecting rod assembly 8. The sliding component 7 is used to drive the connecting rod assembly 8 to move, so as to stretch or fold the connecting rod assembly 8.

[0038] The sliding assembly 7 includes a guide post 9, on which a slider 10 is sleeved; the two sides of the slider 10 are hinged to the connecting rod assembly 8, and the slider 10 moves along the axial direction of the guide post 9 to change the working state of the connecting rod assembly 8.

[0039] The sliding assembly 7 also includes a fixing block 11 and a snap-fit ​​housing 12. The fixing block 11 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the snap-fit ​​housing 12, and the guide post 9 passes through the fixing block 11.

[0040] The linkage assembly 8 includes a first linkage 13 and a second linkage 14. The first linkage 13 has a first connecting end and a second connecting end on its two sides, and the second linkage 14 has a third connecting end and a fourth connecting end on its two sides. The first connecting end is hinged to the slider 10, the second connecting end is hinged to the third connecting end, and the fourth connecting end is hinged to the fixing block 11.

[0041] The pad protection device 2 also includes a protection fixture 15, into which the magnetic buckle 3 is inserted. The protection fixture 15 is used to protect the pads of the PCB 5.

[0042] When the magnetic snap-on buckle 3 is attracted, the slider 10 moves away from the fixed block 11 along the axial direction of the guide post 9. The movement of the slider 10 drives the first connecting rod 13, which in turn drives the second connecting rod 14, until the first connecting rod 13 and the second connecting rod 14 are in the same vertical direction. At this point, the first connecting rod 13 and the second connecting rod 14 are fully stretched, and the slider 10 reaches its maximum movement distance. The slider 10 is then in a state of equilibrium and is stationary. The magnetic snap-on buckle 3 is in the attracted state, and the position of the connecting rod assembly 8 changes. The second connecting end of the first connecting rod 13 and the third connecting end of the second connecting rod 14 are displaced from the outside of the snap-on housing 12 to the inside of the snap-on housing 12, allowing the magnetic snap-on buckle 3 to pass through the mounting hole of the PCB 5.

[0043] When the magnetic snap-on buckle 3 disengages, the slider 10 moves along the guide post 9 towards the fixing block 11 under the action of gravity. The slider 10 drives the first connecting rod 13 and the second connecting rod 14 to move until the first connecting rod 13 and the second connecting rod 14 fold to the minimum angle. The slider 10 stops moving, and the working state of the magnetic snap-on buckle 3 is the non-attached state. The position of the connecting rod assembly 8 changes, and the second connecting end of the first connecting rod 13 and the third connecting end of the second connecting rod 14 are displaced from the inside of the snap-on housing 12 to the outside of the snap-on housing 12, so that the magnetic snap-on buckle 3 can be directly fixed on the PCB5 after passing through the mounting hole of the PCB5.

[0044] The magnetic snap-fit ​​3 has a columnar structure. The snap-fit ​​housing 12 of the magnetic snap-fit ​​3 is also equipped with a positioning post, located on the side of the snap-fit ​​housing 12 away from the fixing block 11. The protective fixture 15 has positioning holes, into which the positioning post is inserted to fix the magnetic snap-fit ​​3 onto the protective fixture 15. After the magnetic snap-fit ​​3 is snapped into the PCB 5, the magnetic snap-fit ​​3 causes the protective fixture 15 to be fixed onto the PCB 5, thus protecting the solder pads of the PCB 5.

[0045] The magnetic buckle 3 in this embodiment includes a sliding component 7 and a connecting rod component 8. The sliding component 7 is hinged to the connecting rod component 8. The sliding component 7 is used to drive the connecting rod component 8 to move, so as to stretch or fold the connecting rod component 8.

[0046] The sliding assembly 7 includes a guide post 9, on which a slider 10 is sleeved; the two sides of the slider 10 are hinged to the connecting rod assembly 8, and the slider 10 moves along the axial direction of the guide post 9 to change the working state of the connecting rod assembly 8. The sliding assembly 7 also includes a fixing block 11 and a snap-fit ​​housing 12, the fixing block 11 being fixedly connected to the inner side of the snap-fit ​​housing 12, and the guide post 9 passing through the fixing block 11. The connecting rod assembly 8 includes a first connecting rod 13 and a second connecting rod 14, the first connecting rod 13 having a first connecting end and a second connecting end on its two sides, and the second connecting rod 14 having a third connecting end and a fourth connecting end on its two sides; the first connecting end is hinged to the slider 10, the second connecting end is hinged to the third connecting end, and the fourth connecting end is hinged to the fixing block 11. The pad protection device 2 also includes a protective fixture 15, the magnetic snap-fit ​​3 being inserted into the protective fixture 15, and the protective fixture 15 being used to protect the pads of the PCB 5. When the magnetic snap-on clip 3 is attracted, the sliding component 7 drives the connecting rod assembly 8 to move upward, displacing the position of the connecting rod assembly 8 from the outside of the snap-on housing 12 to the inside of the snap-on housing 12, allowing the magnetic snap-on clip 3 to snap into the PCB 5. Then, the magnetic snap-on clip 3 is released, and the sliding component 7, under the influence of gravity, drives the connecting rod assembly 8 downward, returning it to its initial position. The position of the connecting rod assembly 8 is displaced from the inside of the snap-on housing 12 to the outside of the snap-on housing 12, so that the magnetic snap-on clip 3 is directly fixed to the PCB 5 after snapping into it, thereby protecting the solder pads of the PCB 5.

[0047] Example 3

[0048] like Figures 1 to 7As shown, this embodiment provides a PCB pad protection system, including a transport line 1, on which a pad protection device 2 is placed, the pad protection device 2 including a magnetic snap-fit ​​3; a production line 4 is arranged near one side of the transport line 1, on which a PCB 5 is placed, and the production line 4 drives the PCB 5 to move; a disassembly and assembly mechanism 6 is respectively arranged at both ends of the production line 4 near the transport line 1, the disassembly and assembly mechanism 6 is used to change the adsorption state of the magnetic snap-fit ​​3, so that the magnetic snap-fit ​​3 adsorbs or releases the PCB 5.

[0049] The two ends of the transport line 1 are provided with guiding mechanisms 16, and the guiding mechanism 16 includes two guide frames 17 arranged opposite to each other, and a discharge port 18 is formed between the two guide frames 17.

[0050] A cylinder clamp 19 is provided near the discharge port 18, and a gripper cylinder 20 is connected below the cylinder clamp 19; the gripper cylinder 20 is connected to a cylinder connecting plate 21, and a lifting cylinder 22 is connected below the cylinder connecting plate 21.

[0051] The guide frame 17 includes a vertical section and a bent section, which are connected or integrally formed. The first end of the bent section is connected to the side wall of the transport line 1, and the second end of the bent section is connected to the vertical section. A support rod is also connected to the side of the vertical section near the side wall of the transport line 1. The first end of the support rod is connected to the side wall of the transport line 1, and the second end of the support rod is connected to the side wall of the vertical section.

[0052] When the conveyor line 1 moves the pad protection device 2 to the guide mechanism 16, the guide frame 17 guides the pad protection device 2. The pad protection device 2 moves along the direction of the guide frame 17, passing through the bending part and the vertical part in sequence. The bending part guides the pad protection device 2 to the vertical part, and the vertical part guides the pad protection device 2 to the discharge port 18 until the pad protection device 2 moves to the discharge port 18.

[0053] When the pad protection device 2 is located at the discharge port 18, the gripper cylinder 20 is activated, driving the cylinder clamp 19 to move horizontally to clamp the pad protection device 2. After the cylinder clamp 19 clamps the pad protection device 2, the lifting cylinder 22 is activated, driving the cylinder connecting plate 21 to move upward. The cylinder connecting plate 21 drives the gripper cylinder 20 to move upward, and the gripper cylinder 20 then drives the cylinder clamp 19 to move upward, thus moving the pad protection device 2 towards the first assembly / disassembly station.

[0054] In this embodiment, guide mechanisms 16 are provided at both ends of the transport line 1. Each guide mechanism 16 includes two opposing guide frames 17, forming a discharge port 18 between the two guide frames 17. A cylinder clamp 19 is provided near the discharge port 18, and a gripper cylinder 20 is connected below the cylinder clamp 19. The gripper cylinder 20 is connected to a cylinder connecting plate 21, and a lifting cylinder 22 is connected below the cylinder connecting plate 21. When the transport line 1 moves the solder pad protection device 2 to the guide mechanism 16, the two guide frames 17 guide the solder pad protection device 2, guiding it to the discharge port 18. When the pad protection device 2 is located at the discharge port 18, the gripper cylinder 20 is activated, driving the cylinder clamp 19 to move horizontally and clamp the pad protection device 2. Then, the lifting cylinder 22 is activated, driving the cylinder connecting plate 21 to move upward. The cylinder connecting plate 21 drives the gripper cylinder 20 to move upward, and the gripper cylinder 20 drives the cylinder clamp 19 to move upward, so as to move the pad protection device 2 towards the first disassembly and assembly station, so as to achieve the purpose of accurately positioning the pad protection device 2 before installation.

[0055] Example 4

[0056] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this embodiment provides a PCB pad protection system, including a transport line 1, on which a pad protection device 2 is placed, the pad protection device 2 including a magnetic snap-fit ​​3; a production line 4 is arranged near one side of the transport line 1, on which a PCB 5 is placed, and the production line 4 drives the PCB 5 to move; a disassembly and assembly mechanism 6 is respectively arranged at both ends of the production line 4 near the transport line 1, the disassembly and assembly mechanism 6 is used to change the adsorption state of the magnetic snap-fit ​​3, so that the magnetic snap-fit ​​3 adsorbs or releases the PCB 5.

[0057] The production line 4 is connected to two sides of a gantry support 23, and the disassembly and assembly mechanism 6 is connected to the gantry support 23. The disassembly and assembly mechanism 6 includes a push cylinder 24, which is mounted on the gantry support 23. A cylinder mounting plate 25 is connected below the push cylinder 24, and an electromagnet 26 is provided on the side of the cylinder mounting plate 25 away from the push cylinder 24.

[0058] It also includes a wave soldering device 27, through which the production line 4 passes. The wave soldering device 27 is provided with the disassembly and assembly mechanism 6 on both sides. The wave soldering device 27 is used to perform wave soldering on the pads of the power module on the PCB 5.

[0059] A blocking cylinder 28 is provided above the production line 4. The blocking cylinder 28 is used to block two adjacent PCBs 5 on the production line 4 to control the flow time interval of the PCB 5 boards.

[0060] When the production line 4 moves the PCB5 to the first assembly / disassembly station, the blocking cylinder 28 is activated, and its lever extends to stop the PCB5 from moving further, thus stopping the PCB5 at the first assembly / disassembly station. Then, the lifting cylinder 22 moves the pad protection device 2 upward to the first target position. At the same time, the pushing cylinder 24 of the first assembly / disassembly mechanism 6 is activated, which moves the cylinder mounting plate 25 downward, thereby moving the electromagnet 26 downward to the second target position. The second target position is the contact position between the electromagnet 26 and the magnetic latch 3, and it is located above the first target position.

[0061] Next, power is supplied to electromagnet 26. After electromagnet 26 is energized, it begins to attract magnetic clip 3. The working state of magnetic clip 3 changes from a state of no attraction to a state of attraction, and the moving position of magnetic clip 3 changes. At the same time, the lifting cylinder 22 drives the pad protection device 2 to continue to move upward, thereby driving magnetic clip 3 to move upward. During the upward movement, magnetic clip 3 engages with the mounting hole of PCB 5 until it moves to the second target position and contacts electromagnet 26.

[0062] Then, power supply to electromagnet 26 is stopped. After electromagnet 26 is de-energized, it no longer attracts magnetic clip 3. The working state of magnetic clip 3 changes from attracted to unattached. The movable clip of magnetic clip 3 returns to its initial position, and pad protection device 2 is fixed on PCB5. At this time, the stop lever of blocking cylinder 28 retracts and no longer blocks PCB5. Production line 4 drives PCB5 to continue moving forward. At the same time, the push cylinder 24 of the first disassembly and assembly mechanism 6 moves upward, driving cylinder mounting plate 25 to its initial position. After pad protection device 2 is fixed on PCB5, gripper cylinder 20 drives cylinder clamp 19 to move, causing cylinder clamp 19 to release pad protection device 2. Then, lifting cylinder 22 moves downward, returning to the initial position.

[0063] Production line 4 drives PCB5, with pad protection device 2 installed, to continue moving forward. When passing wave soldering device 27, wave soldering device 27 performs wave soldering on the pads of the power module on PCB5, and pad protection device 2 protects the pads of the power module on PCB5. After wave soldering, PCB5 continues to move to the second disassembly / reassembly station. Blocking cylinder 28 extends to stop PCB5 from moving further, keeping PCB5 at the second disassembly / reassembly station. The pushing cylinder 24 of the second disassembly / reassembly mechanism 6 is activated, pushing cylinder 24 to move cylinder mounting plate 25 downward until the electromagnet 26 of cylinder mounting plate 25 contacts the magnetic latch 3. Power is supplied to electromagnet 26, and after electromagnet 26 is energized, it begins to attract magnetic latch 3, changing the position of the magnetic latch 3 and causing magnetic latch 3 to detach from PCB5. When the magnetic clip 3 detaches from the PCB5, the power supply to the electromagnet 26 stops, and the electromagnet 26 no longer attracts the magnetic clip 3. The pad protection device 2 falls onto the transport line 1 under the action of gravity. The transport line 1 drives the pad protection device 2 to the discharge port 18 to be provided to the first disassembly and assembly mechanism 6 for installation and use, so as to realize the reuse of the pad protection device 2.

[0064] In this embodiment, the production line 4 is connected to gantry supports 23 on both sides, and the disassembly / assembly mechanism 6 is connected to the gantry supports 23. The disassembly / assembly mechanism 6 includes a pushing cylinder 24, which is mounted on the gantry supports 23. A cylinder mounting plate 25 is connected below the pushing cylinder 24, and an electromagnet 26 is provided on the side of the cylinder mounting plate 25 away from the pushing cylinder 24. It also includes a wave soldering device 27, through which the production line 4 passes. The disassembly / assembly mechanism 6 is provided on both sides of the wave soldering device 27. The wave soldering device 27 is used to perform wave soldering on the pads of the power modules on the PCB 5. A blocking cylinder 28 is provided above the production line 4 to block two adjacent PCBs 5 on the production line 4, thereby controlling the flow time interval of the PCB 5 boards. After the blocking cylinder 28 blocks the PCB5, the first disassembly and assembly mechanism 6 installs the pad protection device 2 on the PCB5. This ensures that the pads of the power module on the PCB5 are protected during wave soldering by the wave soldering device 27, guaranteeing the product quality of the PCB5. After wave soldering, the blocking cylinder 28 blocks the PCB5 again, and the second disassembly and assembly mechanism 6 removes the pad protection device 2 from the PCB5. Under gravity, the pad protection device 2 falls onto the transport line 1, which then moves it to the outlet 18 for installation by the first disassembly and assembly mechanism 6, thus enabling the reuse of the pad protection device 2. By energizing and de-energizing the electromagnet 26 of the disassembly and assembly mechanism 6, the magnetic snap-fit ​​3 is activated, allowing for rapid disassembly and installation of the pad protection device 2 on the PCB5. This not only reduces labor costs but also significantly improves production efficiency.
