[0001] This utility model relates to a tray slab machine, specifically a dual-station FPC automatic detection tray slab machine, belonging to the technical field of tray slab machine. Background Technology

[0002] In today's rapidly advancing industrialization, technological innovation is sweeping across all industries like a surging tide. Flexible printed circuit boards (FPCs), as a key component in the electronics field, have experienced explosive growth in applications due to their unique advantages, including high flexibility, thinness, and superior electrical performance. Their form factors have diversified to meet diverse product demands, resulting in an increasingly complex range of products. From miniaturized wearable devices, such as smart bracelets that fit the wrist and accurately monitor health data, to foldable screen electronic products that break through traditional forms and bring a new visual experience, FPCs play an indispensable role in these cutting-edge technological products, undertaking core tasks such as signal transmission and circuit connection, becoming a key support for realizing innovative product design and superior functionality.

[0003] However, in the FPC production process, the tray loading stage after manufacturing still relies heavily on manual operation. Manual tray loading not only consumes a lot of manpower, but is also prone to errors due to human factors, which significantly reduces the overall production efficiency at this critical juncture. This not only delays the product delivery cycle, but also increases production costs, becoming a bottleneck restricting the further efficient development of the FPC industry. To address this, a dual-station automatic FPC inspection and tray loading machine is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of this, the present invention provides a dual-station FPC automatic detection and tray-loading machine to solve or alleviate the technical problems existing in the prior art, and at least provides a beneficial option.

[0005] The technical solution of this utility model embodiment is implemented as follows: a dual-station FPC automatic detection and tray-stacking machine includes a frame, on which a tray-stacking assembly is provided. The tray-stacking assembly includes a detection frame, two CCD positioning cameras, two timed feeders, two dispensing hoppers, a flexible vibration dispensing device, a synchronous transfer track for the plastic tray, a suction head picking and placing robot, a positioning cylinder, and a positioning plate.

[0006] The synchronous transfer track for the rubber tray is installed on the upper surface of the frame. The two CCD positioning cameras are installed on the front surface of the inspection frame, which is also installed on the upper surface of the frame. The two distributing hoppers and two timed feeders are symmetrically installed on the upper surface of the frame. The flexible vibrating distributor is installed at the bottom of the distributing hopper. The two suction head picking and placing robots are symmetrically installed on the upper surface of the frame. The positioning cylinder is installed on the front surface of the synchronous transfer track for the rubber tray, and the positioning plate is fixedly connected to the cylinder shaft of the positioning cylinder.

[0007] More preferably, the synchronous transfer track of the rubber tray is provided with a rubber tray body, and the position of the positioning plate corresponds to the position of the rubber tray body.

[0008] More preferably, the position of the CCD positioning camera corresponds to the position of the material distribution hopper, and the material distribution hopper is connected to the timed feeder.

[0009] More preferably, the two suction head picking and placing robots are symmetrically located on both sides of the two dispensing hoppers, and the synchronous transfer track of the rubber tray is located below the suction head picking and placing robots.

[0010] More preferably, the two ends of the synchronous transfer track are respectively provided with a loading tray and a lower dividing plate.

[0011] More preferably, the outer wall of the frame is fixedly connected to the housing, and both ends of the synchronous transfer track for the rubber tray are located outside the frame.

[0012] More preferably, the front surface of the housing is fitted with two cabinet doors.

[0013] More preferably, a control panel is mounted on the front surface of the housing.

[0014] The present invention has the following advantages due to the adoption of the above technical solution:

[0015] This invention uses a CCD positioning camera to photograph and identify FPC materials. After receiving coordinate data from the CCD positioning camera, the suction head robotic arm moves to the designated coordinate position to pick up the FPC materials. It then transfers the FPC materials to the main body of the tray, and a synchronous tray transfer track moves the tray full of FPC materials to the lower distribution plate position. The tray is then manually removed, thus achieving automatic detection and tray placement of FPC materials. Compared to existing technologies, this invention uses a tray placement component to realize timed material feeding, flexible vibrating tray material distribution, CCD positioning and identification, suction head picking and placing, synchronous tray transfer, and tray loading and unloading, replacing the reliance on manual operation in traditional technologies. This saves labor costs, improves work efficiency, accelerates product delivery cycles, and reduces production costs.

Detailed Implementation

[0023] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this invention. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered to be exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0024] The embodiments of this utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0025] like Figures 1-4 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a dual-station FPC automatic inspection and tray-stacking machine, including a frame 11, on which a tray-stacking assembly 101 is provided. The tray-stacking assembly 101 uses steps including timed feeding, flexible vibrating plate dispensing, CCD positioning and recognition, suction head picking up and putting in materials, synchronous transfer of the plastic tray, loading and unloading of the plastic tray, and positioning and loading of the tray, which replaces the reliance on manual operation in the traditional technology, saves labor costs, improves work efficiency, accelerates product delivery cycle, and reduces production costs.

[0026] The tray assembly 101 includes a detection frame 12, two CCD positioning cameras 13, two timed feeders 14, two dispensing hoppers 15, a flexible vibrating dispensing device 16, a synchronous transfer track for the tray 18, a suction head picking and placing robot 22, a positioning cylinder 24, and a positioning plate 26.

[0027] The material distribution hopper 15 is connected to the timed feeder 14. The two material distribution hoppers 15 and the two timed feeders 14 are symmetrically installed on the upper surface of the frame 11. The flexible vibrating feeder 16 is installed at the bottom of the material distribution hopper 15. The timed feeder 14 can adjust the vibration frequency according to different material sizes to ensure stable conveying of FPC materials. When working, a batch of FPC materials is poured into the timed feeder 14, and the timed feeder 14 is immediately started. The FPC materials begin to be directionally conveyed into the material distribution hopper 15 according to the set time interval and quantity. When the FPC materials enter the material distribution hopper 15, the flexible vibrating feeder 16 begins to vibrate and distribute the materials.

[0028] Two CCD positioning cameras 13 are mounted on the front surface of the detection frame 12, which is mounted on the upper surface of the frame 11. The position of the CCD positioning cameras 13 corresponds to the position of the material distribution hopper 15. After the flexible vibrating distributor 16 operates, the CCD positioning cameras 13 take pictures and identify the FPC material. Once the front of the FPC material is detected to be facing up, the coordinate system information of the FPC material is transmitted to the suction head picking and placing robot 22. Then the suction head picking and placing robot 22 picks up the material, and at the same time the flexible vibrating distributor 16 stops vibrating.

[0029] Two suction head picking and placing robots 22 are symmetrically installed on the upper surface of the frame 11. The positioning cylinder 24 is installed on the front surface of the synchronous transfer track 18 of the plastic tray. The positioning plate 26 is fixedly connected to the cylinder shaft of the positioning cylinder 24. The position of the positioning plate 26 corresponds to the position of the plastic tray body 23. After receiving the coordinate system data provided by the CCD positioning camera 13, the suction head picking and placing robot 22 will move to the designated coordinate position to pick up the FPC material, and then transfer to accurately place the FPC material into the plastic tray body 23.

[0030] When the FPC material is placed into the main body of the tray 23, the main body of the tray 23 moves to the corresponding position of the positioning plate 26. The top of the positioning plate 26 is provided with a positioning suction cup. The positioning plate 26 adsorbs the main body of the tray 23, which can achieve precise positioning of the main body of the tray 23 so that the suction head picking and placing robot 22 can accurately load the tray.

[0031] The suction head pick-up and drop robot 22 can move axially along the X, Y, and Z axes to pick up FPC materials.

[0032] In one embodiment, a synchronous transfer track 18 for rubber trays is installed on the upper surface of the frame 11, and a rubber tray body 23 is provided on the synchronous transfer track 18. The synchronous transfer track 18 is responsible for transporting the rubber tray body 23.

[0033] In one embodiment, two suction head picking and placing robots 22 are symmetrically located on both sides of two dispensing hoppers 15. The synchronous transfer track 18 of the glue tray is located below the suction head picking and placing robots 22. The two ends of the synchronous transfer track 18 of the glue tray are respectively provided with a loading plate 20 and a lower dividing plate 19. A cylinder is provided at the loading plate 20 to divide the glue tray. By performing the dividing operation of the glue tray body 23 by the cylinder, the glue tray body 23 can be moved onto the synchronous transfer track 18 of the glue tray. The lower dividing plate 19 is used to block the movement of the glue tray body 23 so that the operator can take out the loaded glue tray body 23.

[0034] During operation, the empty plastic tray body 23 is placed on the feeding tray 20 by the operator. The plastic tray body 23 is moved by the synchronous transfer track 18. When the material fills the plastic tray body 23, the plastic tray body 23 moves to the lower plate 19 position, at which time the operator can remove the plastic tray body 23.

[0035] In one embodiment, the outer wall of the frame 11 is fixedly connected to the housing 31, and both ends of the synchronous transfer track 18 for the glue tray are located outside the frame 11, which facilitates loading or unloading of the glue tray body 23.

[0036] In one embodiment, two cabinet doors 32 are installed on the front surface of the housing 31, and a control panel 33 is installed on the front surface of the housing 31 for controlling the whole system.

[0037] In operation, this invention works as follows: A batch of FPC material is poured into the timed feeder 14, which then starts. The FPC material is conveyed to the distribution hopper 15 according to the set time intervals and quantities. Once the FPC material enters the distribution hopper 15, the flexible vibrating distributor 16 begins to vibrate and distribute the material. The CCD positioning camera 13 takes pictures of the FPC material for identification. Once the front of the FPC material is detected to be facing upwards, the coordinate system information of the FPC material is transmitted to the suction head pick-up robot 22. Subsequently, the suction head pick-up robot 22 picks up the material, and at the same time, the flexible vibrating distributor 16 stops vibrating. Upon receiving the information from the CCD positioning camera... After receiving the coordinate system data provided by 13, the suction head pick-up and drop robot 22 moves to the designated coordinate position to pick up the FPC material, and then transfers it to accurately place the FPC material into the main body of the plastic tray 23. At the same time, the positioning cylinder 24 pushes the positioning plate 26 to fit against the main body of the plastic tray 23. The positioning plate 26 adsorbs the main body of the plastic tray 23, which can achieve precise positioning of the main body of the plastic tray 23 so that the suction head pick-up and drop robot 22 can accurately load the tray. The synchronous transfer track 18 moves the main body of the plastic tray 23 filled with FPC material to the lower plate 19 position, and the manual removes the main body of the plastic tray 23, thus realizing the automatic detection and traying of FPC material.

[0038] Compared with existing technologies, this utility model realizes the steps of timed material feeding, flexible vibrating plate material distribution, CCD positioning and recognition, suction head material picking and placing, synchronous transfer of plastic trays, and loading and unloading of plastic trays through the tray assembly 101. This replaces the reliance on manual operation in traditional technologies, saves labor costs, improves work efficiency, accelerates product delivery cycle, and reduces production costs.

[0039] The above description is merely a specific embodiment of this utility model, but the protection scope of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any person skilled in the art can easily conceive of various variations or substitutions within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model, and these should all be included within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model should be determined by the protection scope of the claims.
