[0029] This application provides a PCB board mounting device, such as... Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the PCB board mounting device may include a base 1, a support plate 2, a bearing rotating part 3, a shaft 4, a transmission mechanism 5, a pressure plate 6, a tension spring 7, and a limiting mechanism 8.
[0030] The base 1 has two opposing grooves 101 on its surface, located at both ends of the base 1 along its width. Four support plates 2 are arranged opposite each other on the surfaces of the two grooves 101. Two bearing components 3 are fixedly mounted on the support plates 2 facing away from the base 1, and each bearing component 3 has a through hole along the width of the base 1. Two shafts 4 are inserted into the through holes at both ends and rotatably connected to the bearing components 3. A transmission mechanism 5 is connected to one side of the shaft 4 and placed on top of the hollow section 102. 102 is a hole opened on the surface of the base 1 and located between the two base grooves 101; the lower surface of the pressure plate 6 is sleeved on the transmission mechanism 5; one end of the tension spring 7 is connected through to the pressure plate 6, and the other end is sleeved on the surface of the shaft 4; the limiting mechanism 8 is placed on the upper surface of the base 1 and is slidably connected to the connecting rod of the bearing rotating component 3; wherein, the bearing rotating component 3 includes two bottom plates respectively set on the surfaces of the two support plates 2 along the length direction of the base 1 and a top plate set on the two bottom plates away from the surface of the base 1, the top plate is an integrally formed structure and connects the two bottom plates.
[0031] Specifically, the base 1 has an upper surface and a hollow part 102. The upper surface of the base 1 has two opposing base grooves 101 for placement at the bottom of the PCB placement machine. This part is made of a material with good shock absorption performance. Its design structure fits closely to the bottom contour of the placement machine, which can effectively disperse the pressure and vibration generated during the operation of the equipment and avoid the negative impact of unstable factors caused by external environmental interference or its own mechanical operation on the placement accuracy.
[0032] The support plate 2 is fixedly installed on the surface of the base groove 101 by bolts. The support plate 2 is used to further stabilize the normal operation of the top mounting mechanism.
[0033] Both ends of the shaft 4 are inserted into the bearing rotating part 3 and rotatably connected to drive the entire mechanism to rotate stably around its axis, reducing shaking and deviation, extending the service life of related components, and reducing the maintenance frequency and cost of the equipment.
[0034] according to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the transmission mechanism 5 is connected to the shaft 4 on one side and placed on the top of the base groove 101. The transmission mechanism 5 is placed on the top of the hollow part 102, thus reserving transportation space for the transmission mechanism 5 and enabling the PCB board to be quickly transferred from one process step to the next in a short time. It is quickly sent from the feeding area to the placement area, and after placement, it is quickly transferred to the inspection area or subsequent processing area. This rapid transmission capability greatly shortens the dwell time of the PCB board on the entire placement production line and significantly improves production efficiency.
[0035] The lower surface of the pressure plate 6 is sleeved on the transmission mechanism 5, so the pressure plate 6 limits the PCB board, thereby providing stability for the transportation process.
[0036] One end of the tension spring 7 is connected to the pressure plate 6, and the other end is sleeved on the surface of the shaft 4. One end of the tension spring 7 is firmly connected to the front end of the pressure plate 6. When it starts to operate under force, the tension spring 7 will be stretched due to the external force. With its own elastic restoring force, it will forcefully pull the front end of the pressure plate 6 downward until it is stably placed on the surface of the PCB board, thereby achieving the effect of applying pressure to the PCB board and playing a positioning and protection role.
[0037] Please combine Figure 1 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 Referring to the reference, the limiting mechanism 8 is placed on the upper surface of the base 1 and is slidably connected to the bearing rotating part 3. The limiting mechanism 8 can provide precise position limitation for the PCB board, ensuring that the PCB board is in a standard and fixed position coordinate before the placement operation. It can effectively limit the displacement of the PCB board in the X and Y axis directions, keeping its deviation within a very small range, ensuring the flatness of the PCB board during the placement process, and improving the overall quality and reliability of the PCB board.
[0038] Specifically, when one of the shafts 4 is driven to rotate, the ratchet 501 connected to it begins to rotate under the transmission action of the linkage rotation. The protrusion 504 provided on the outer arc surface of the ratchet 501 will be embedded into the circular opening 505 opened on the surface of the conveyor belt 503. In this way, during the continuous and stable rotation of the ratchet 501, the conveyor belt 503 can be smoothly and synchronously driven to operate. The PCB board placed on the top of the conveyor belt 503 can be smoothly transferred from one process link to the next link, realizing the orderly transfer of the PCB board on the production line.
[0039] Meanwhile, a pressure plate 6 is also provided on the top of the PCB board. When the PCB board moves with the conveyor belt 503, one end of the tension spring 7 is connected to the shaft 4, which remains stationary, and the other end is connected to the pressure plate 6. Since the pressure plate 6 moves with the conveyor belt 503, no matter whether the PCB board moves along the X or Y direction, there will always be two pressure plates 6 under the traction force of the tension spring 7. Their front ends will gradually move downward until they are stably placed on the surface of the PCB board. This can effectively assist in positioning and fixing the PCB board and ensure the stability of the PCB board during movement.
[0040] Only when the PCB board moves to the top of the base groove 101, since the tension springs 7 on the periphery are not stretched, the pressure plate 6 no longer overlaps the PCB board, thus leaving the necessary space for subsequent processing or operation of the PCB board in the base groove 101 area, ensuring the smoothness and continuity of the entire PCB board mounting production process.
[0041] Based on the above, the PCB board will be placed inside the base groove 101, and space is reserved in the middle for the surface mount technology (SMT) to facilitate subsequent SMT operations. Hinges 801 are provided on both sides of the base groove 101, and the connecting grooves 807 therein can achieve flexible and arbitrary movement at the connection position of the bearing rotating part 3. Adaptive adjustments can be made according to the actual size of the PCB board. It can achieve symmetrical clamping to ensure that the PCB board is subjected to uniform and stable force in the horizontal direction, and can also perform diagonal clamping under other requirements to meet the requirements of different processes or PCB board shapes.
[0042] Regarding the limiting mechanism, it is mainly achieved by pressing the positioning plate 803 downwards. It's worth noting that torsion springs 806 are equipped on both sides of the bearing. Due to the presence of these torsion springs 806, when the positioning plate 803 is subjected to external force that is not equal to the torque of the torsion springs 806, the positioning plate 803 can still maintain a horizontal state. This characteristic improves the stability and reliability during clamping, effectively avoiding problems such as unstable PCB clamping, displacement, or even damage caused by uneven force. This lays the foundation for subsequent high-precision surface mount technology (SMT) operations on the PCB, strongly ensuring the smooth progress of the entire PCB SMT process and the consistency and reliability of its quality. Simultaneously, the positioning plate 803 can be rotated to be perpendicular to the hinge. In the state of receiving seat 801, during this process, to prevent the torsion spring 806 from completing the reset action, a limiting plate 802 is set at the front end of the positioning plate 803. The hook-shaped part 8021 connected to the front end of the limiting plate 802 tightly abuts against the side end of the positioning plate 803, and the limiting plate 802 is firmly tightened with bolts, effectively avoiding any possible deviation. In this way, when the two positioning plates 803 are symmetrically placed on both sides of the conveyor belt 503, they can not only accurately and reliably limit the lateral direction of the PCB board during the transmission process, preventing the PCB board from deviating from the predetermined transmission track due to lateral shaking, ensuring the stability of its transmission path, but also provide various ways to fix the PCB board to be processed laterally.
[0043] like Figure 3 As shown, the transmission mechanism 5 may also include a ratchet 501 with its middle part connected to the shaft 4, a gear 502 for rotating the shaft 4, and a conveyor belt 503 sleeved on the outer arc surface of the ratchet 501.
[0044] Specifically, the ratchet 501 has a protrusion 504 on its outer arc surface, the conveyor belt 503 has a round opening 505 at the top of its outer arc surface, the inner arc surface of the round opening 505 is movably engaged with the protrusion 504, the lower surface of the pressure plate 6 is fixedly sleeved on the conveyor belt 503, the number of gears 502 is four, and they are symmetrically distributed on the shaft 4 in pairs, and the conveyor belt 503 is placed in the base groove 101.
[0045] Continue according to Figure 3 As shown, the pressure plate 6 may also include a pin hole 601, which is opened in one side end face of the pressure plate 6 and connected to the tension spring 7. The lower pressing end 602 is set at the front end of the pressure plate 6 and overlaps the surface of the conveyor belt 503.
[0046] according to Figure 4 and Figure 5 For reference, the limiting mechanism 8 may also include a hinge seat 801 placed on the upper end of the base 1, a limiting plate 802 rotatably connected to the surface of the hinge seat 801, and a positioning plate 803 movably connected to the inner wall of the hinge seat 801 via a rotating shaft.
[0047] Thus, the limiting plate 802 and the side ear plate 804 are connected by a nut. The bottom of one side surface of the positioning plate 803 is provided with an opening. A hinge rod 805 is connected through the opening on one side of the positioning plate 803. Both sides of the hinge rod 805 are connected through to the inner side wall of the hinge seat 801. A torsion spring 806 is fixedly sleeved between the hinge rod 805 and the hinge seat 801. One end of the torsion spring 806 is connected to the positioning plate 803. The two side ear plates 804 at both ends of the hinge seat 801 are provided with connecting grooves 807. The connecting grooves 807 are slidably connected to the bearing rotating part 3. The positioning plate 803 is placed on one side of the conveyor belt 503.
[0048] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this application and do not limit the patent scope of this application.
