[0002] With the rapid development of electronic technology, electronic products are being used more and more widely, and PCB boards, as an important component, are indispensable. A component insertion machine is a mechanical device that inserts various components into designated positions on the PCB board. During operation, the insertion machine typically first transports the electronic components to be inserted one by one to their corresponding positions, and then the insertion device of the machine inserts the electronic components onto the PCB board.

[0003] Currently, to achieve rapid production, some manufacturers have begun developing assembly line-style PCB conveyors. The insertion head leaves electronic components on the PCB, which then moves with the PCB to the next position for soldering and reinforcement. However, this conveying method makes it difficult to accurately position the PCB. Furthermore, because the insertion angle and height required for each electronic component are inconsistent, current insertion machines struggle to guarantee the precision of insertion onto the PCB.

[0051] This utility model provides a plug-in device.

[0052] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the plug-in device provided in this embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0053] The outer casing 10 has a working chamber 11, and the working chamber 11 has a feed inlet 12 and a discharge outlet 13 on both sides;

[0054] The three-section conveying assembly 20, along the direction from the inlet 12 to the outlet 13, includes a feeding unit 21, a working unit 22 and a discharging unit 23. The feeding unit 21 is connected to the inlet 12, and the discharging unit 23 is connected to the outlet 13.

[0055] The auxiliary material assembly 40 is disposed in the working chamber 11 and located on both sides of the three-section conveying assembly 20;

[0056] The plug-in component 50 is located in the working cavity 11 and can move in the X, Y and Z axis directions to pick up the auxiliary material located on the auxiliary material component 40 and stick it on the labeling material 60 located on the working unit 22.

[0057] The three-section conveying assembly 20 and the plug-in assembly 50 are both electrically connected to the electrical control system 30.

[0058] In this embodiment, the three-section conveying assembly 20 conveys the material to be labeled 60.

[0059] Please refer to Figure 4 The plug-in component 50 includes an XY motion platform component 51 and a plug-in head 52 that can move along the Z-axis.

[0060] The XY motion platform component 51 is disposed within the working cavity 11;

[0061] The plug head 52 is connected to the XY motion platform assembly 51 so that the XY motion platform assembly 51 drives the plug head 52 to move along the X-axis and / or Y-axis.

[0062] In this embodiment, the XY motion platform component 51 can drive the plug head 52 to move in the X-axis and Y-axis directions, while the plug head 52 itself moves in the Z-axis direction, thereby achieving the transfer between the auxiliary material component 40 and the three-section conveying component 20.

[0063] This application separates the XY direction motion structure (XY motion platform component 51) and the Z direction motion structure (plug head 52), which facilitates the subsequent disassembly and maintenance of the plug head 52.

[0064] Please refer to Figure 5 The XY motion platform component 51 includes:

[0065] Frame 511;

[0066] Two Y-axis slide rails 512 are arranged opposite each other on both sides of the base frame 511 along the X-axis direction, and a Y-axis drive unit 513 is provided on the Y-axis slide rails 512;

The insert head 52 is connected to the X-axis slide rail 515 to move along the X-axis direction. In this embodiment, the Y-axis drive unit 513 and the X-axis drive unit 516 can move the X-axis beam 514 and the X-axis slide rail 515 by driving the telescopic shaft to extend and retract. Both the Y-axis drive unit 513 and the X-axis drive unit 516 are electrically connected to the electronic control system 30 to be opened and closed independently.

[0069] Please refer to Figure 6 The plug-in header 52 includes:

[0070] Mounting plate 521 is mounted on the X-axis slide rail 515;

[0071] Multiple suction units 522 are spaced apart on the side of the mounting plate 521 opposite to the X-axis slide rail 515. Each suction unit 522 can independently suction or release auxiliary materials. In this embodiment, the suction units 522 can use negative pressure to suction the auxiliary materials.

[0072] Specifically, the suction unit 522 includes a Z-axis driver 5221, a drive wheel 5222, a driven wheel 5223, a belt 5224, a slider 5225, a connecting block 5226, and a suction nozzle body 5227. The two ends of the belt 5224 are respectively fitted onto the drive wheel 5222 and the driven wheel 5223. The Z-axis driver 5221 is connected to the drive wheel 5222. The slider 5225 is disposed within the belt 5224 and moves with the belt 5224. The connecting block 5226 is fixedly connected to the slider 5225. The suction nozzle body 5227 is connected to the connecting block 5226. The Z-axis driver 5221 is also electrically connected to the electronic control system 30. When the Z-axis driver 5221 operates, it drives the drive wheel 5222 to rotate, and the drive wheel 5222 then drives the driven wheel 5223 to rotate via the belt 5224. Since the slider 5225 is connected to the belt 5224, when the belt 5224 rotates, it can drive the slider 5225 to slide up and down, and then drive the nozzle body 5227 to move up and down through the connecting block 5226.

[0073] In addition, to improve the stability of the suction unit 522, in one embodiment, the suction unit 522 further includes a buffer spring 5228. The first end of the buffer spring 5228 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 521, and the second end is connected to the connecting block 5226. By setting the buffer spring 5228, the shock absorption performance of the suction unit 522 during frequent up-and-down movement can be improved, thereby increasing its service life.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 7-8The three-section conveying assembly 20 includes two spaced-apart sliding plates 24. The feeding unit 21, working unit 22, and unloading unit 23 are connected to the sliding plates 24 on both sides to form a conveying area 26 located between the two sliding plates 24 for conveying the material to be labeled 60. In this embodiment, the feeding unit 21, working unit 22, and unloading unit 23 each include a driver mounted on the sliding plate 24 and a belt 5224 conveying assembly connected to the driver. The upper surface of the belt 5224 conveying assembly is used to support the material to be labeled 60. The driver drives the belt 5224 conveying assembly to rotate, and friction causes the material to be labeled 60 to flow within the conveying area 26. It is understood that the method of driving the belt 5224 conveying assembly via a driver is prior art and will not be described further in this application.

[0075] The three-section conveying assembly 20 further includes a blocking unit 25 between the working unit 22 and the unloading unit 23. The blocking unit 25 can move up and down to block or release the working unit 22. In this embodiment, the blocking plate of the blocking unit 25 can move up and down under the driving action of its independent driving component. When it moves upward, it can block between the working unit 22 and the unloading unit 23, at which point the auxiliary material can be pasted through the plug-in assembly 50. After pasting is completed, the blocking plate can be moved downward to release the material 60 to be labeled.

[0076] In the above embodiment, the auxiliary material assembly 40 includes a plurality of clamping plates 41 extending along the X-axis and spaced apart, with a clamping groove 42 for holding the auxiliary material between adjacent clamping plates 41. The auxiliary material assembly 40 can be installed using a snap-fit ​​method. After the auxiliary material on the auxiliary material assembly 40 is used up, the entire auxiliary material assembly 40 is removed from the working chamber 11 and then the auxiliary material assembly 40 carrying the auxiliary material is installed into the working chamber 11 to start working. Alternatively, the auxiliary material can be supplied by directly conveying it to the auxiliary material assembly 40 via a conveyor belt.

[0077] In addition, the working chamber 11 is also provided with a throwing box 70 located between the auxiliary material assembly 40 and the three-section conveying assembly 20. When waste material is generated, it can be thrown into the throwing box 70 through the plug-in assembly 50 for easy disposal in the future.

[0078] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and does not limit the patent scope of the present utility model. All equivalent structural transformations made under the concept of the present utility model and using the contents of the present utility model specification and drawings, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included in the patent protection scope of the present utility model.
