Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automation device technology, and in particular to a suction device for irregularly shaped products with magnetic rings. Background Technology

[0002] In the PCB manufacturing process, irregularly shaped products with magnetic rings are used. The current irregularly shaped products mainly include magnetic ring A, connecting wire B, and irregularly shaped motherboard C.

[0003] However, when picking up and placing irregularly shaped products, since there is no flat surface to pick them up, and the magnetic ring wobbles during movement, this station cannot use ordinary suction cup nozzles for picking up and placing. It can only rely on the staff to manually pick up and unload the products. Moreover, due to the wobbling of the magnetic ring during the loading process, a second adjustment must be performed after loading to place the products in the correct position. This process is very cumbersome and prone to misplacing the products, resulting in poor efficiency and low yield. Therefore, an automatic fixing and picking device is very necessary.

For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort, wherein:

[0018] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a preferred embodiment of a suction device for irregularly shaped products with magnetic rings according to the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0019] 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.

[0020] Please see Figure 1 The embodiments of this utility model include:

[0021] A suction device for irregularly shaped products with magnetic rings is designed to automatically pick up products from a loading tray, place them in a fixture for testing, pick them up from the fixture, place them in a unloading tray, and automatically detect whether the product has been successfully picked up. The specific structure includes a sponge nozzle 1, a nozzle support 2, a negative pressure inlet 3, a negative pressure sensor 4, an integral telescopic cylinder 5, an electromagnet 6, an electromagnet support 7, an electromagnet telescopic cylinder 8, an extension frame 9, and a product detection device 10.

[0022] The output end of the overall telescopic cylinder is connected to the suction nozzle bracket to drive the entire suction device to move up and down. The sponge suction nozzle is set on the suction nozzle bracket. The sponge suction nozzle can adapt to the uneven surface of the irregular motherboard, thereby improving the stability and accuracy of suctioning and fixing the irregular motherboard. The top of the sponge suction nozzle is connected to a negative pressure inlet for connection to a vacuum / negative pressure generating device. A negative pressure sensor is also connected to the sponge suction nozzle to obtain the negative pressure information of the sponge suction nozzle in real time, so as to facilitate the detection and judgment of the suction status of the irregular motherboard based on the real-time negative pressure information.

[0023] In a further preferred embodiment, the integral telescopic cylinder is mounted on the automated equipment and connected to the translation drive device on the automated equipment to realize the translational movement of the entire suction device.

[0024] Among them, automated equipment can be existing production lines or robotic arms, etc.

[0025] An electromagnet is mounted on an electromagnet bracket to attract and fix magnetic rings in irregularly shaped products. The electromagnet bracket is also equipped with a product detection device to detect whether the product in the feed tray has a magnetic ring. An extension frame is connected to a suction nozzle bracket. An electromagnet telescopic cylinder is mounted on the extension frame, and the output end of the electromagnet telescopic cylinder is connected to the electromagnet bracket so that the electromagnet can be driven to move up and down through the electromagnet bracket, so that the electromagnet and the product detection device move closer to or away from the magnetic ring.

[0026] More preferably, the product detection device can use sensors such as infrared sensors or laser sensors to directly detect whether there is material (magnetic ring) in the corresponding position (used to place the magnetic ring) in the feeding tray; or the product detection device can use vision detection devices such as CCD to determine whether the product has a magnetic ring.

[0027] In a further preferred embodiment, the negative pressure sensor, the integral telescopic cylinder, the electromagnet, the electromagnet telescopic cylinder, and the product detection device are respectively connected to the controller. The controller is also connected to an audible and visual alarm. The controller judges the status based on the detection signals of the sensor and issues an abnormality warning in a timely manner when an abnormality occurs.

[0028] The working principle of the suction device in this application includes:

[0029] Under the action of automated equipment, the suction device moves towards the feeding tray; when the suction device moves above the first irregularly shaped product with a magnetic ring, the product detection device will detect whether there is a magnetic ring in the corresponding position or cavity of the feeding tray.

[0030] If it does not exist, the automated device will move the suction device to the top of the next irregularly shaped product with a magnetic ring.

[0031] If an irregularly shaped product with a magnetic ring is present, the overall telescopic cylinder extends to control the descent of the entire suction device, allowing the sponge nozzle to contact the irregularly shaped mainboard. Then, negative pressure is applied to suction the mainboard. The negative pressure sensor provides real-time or de-negative pressure information to determine the firmness of the suction. Next, the electromagnet telescopic cylinder extends to control the electromagnet's descent, allowing it to contact the magnetic ring. When energized, the electromagnet magnetically attracts the ring. The overall telescopic cylinder retracts, and the irregularly shaped product with the magnetic ring moves automatically to the position above the fixture. The overall telescopic cylinder extends again, the sponge nozzle breaks the vacuum to release the irregularly shaped mainboard, the electromagnet is de-energized to release the magnetic ring, and both the electromagnet telescopic cylinder and the overall telescopic cylinder retract. The irregularly shaped product with the magnetic ring begins testing in the fixture. After the test is completed, the suction device removes the product from the fixture and places it in the unloading tray, thus completing the full testing cycle.

[0032] The advantages of this utility model for a suction device for irregularly shaped products with magnetic rings are: it can simultaneously suction and fix the magnetic ring and the irregularly shaped main board in the product, which greatly improves production efficiency and picking and placing accuracy, thereby improving the production yield of the product. It also reduces the number of times personnel need to operate, reduces the workload of employees, and improves the space utilization of the factory.

[0033] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made using the content of this utility model specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
