[0002] Because of their flexibility, FPCs (Flexible Printed Circuits) are prone to bending and cracking during use. Therefore, reinforcing materials need to be attached to the FPC as supports to effectively improve its local stiffness.
[0003] When FPCs are applied in different fields, the requirements for reinforcement vary due to the different actual usage scenarios and performance needs. In the process of applying reinforcement materials using the mounting mechanism, the quantity of reinforcement material needs to be applied according to specific requirements. When a large amount of reinforcement material is required, multiple material handling and application operations are often necessary, resulting in low mounting efficiency and significantly impacting production efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide an attachment mechanism and a reinforcing device to address the problem of low attachment efficiency in existing attachment mechanisms.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, on the one hand, the present invention provides an attachment mechanism, including a first driving component, a plurality of second driving components and a plurality of attachment components, wherein the first driving component is capable of driving the plurality of second driving components to move independently along a first direction;
[0006] Each of the second driving components is equipped with the attachment component, and each of the second driving components is capable of driving the attachment component thereon to move along a second direction, so that the attachment component can pick up the auxiliary material and attach the auxiliary material to the attachment, wherein the first direction and the second direction intersect.
[0007] Optionally, the attachment assembly includes a mounting base, a lifting assembly, and an attachment head, wherein the mounting base is connected to the output end of the second drive assembly, and the lifting assembly is mounted on the mounting base;
[0008] The lifting assembly can drive the patch head to move up and down, and the patch head can attach the absorbed auxiliary material to the attachment.
[0009] Optionally, multiple adhesive pads are provided, and the multiple adhesive pads are spaced apart along the second direction.
[0010] Optionally, the lifting assembly is connected to multiple of the applicator heads; or, multiple lifting assemblies are provided, and each of the multiple lifting assemblies is connected to a corresponding applicator head.
[0011] Optionally, the attachment assembly further includes a position detection element mounted on the mounting base. When the first drive assembly and the second drive assembly drive the attachment assembly to move, the position detection element is used to detect the position of the auxiliary material so that the attachment head can pick up the auxiliary material.
[0012] Optionally, the attachment component further includes a first vision unit, which is disposed at the output end of the first driving component and is used to perform visual detection on the auxiliary material when the attachment component picks up the auxiliary material.
[0013] Optionally, the attachment assembly further includes a material ejector box, which is mounted on the second drive assembly and is used to collect the auxiliary materials that are detected as unqualified by the first vision unit.
[0014] Optionally, the attachment assembly further includes at least one ion blowing element mounted on the top of the throwing box, the ion blowing element having a plurality of blowing ports facing the interior of the throwing box.
[0015] Optionally, the attachment assembly further includes a second vision unit disposed on the mounting base, the second vision unit being used to visually inspect the accessory when the attachment head attaches the accessory to the attachment.
[0016] Optionally, the first drive assembly includes two first sub-drive members, which are spaced apart along the second direction;
[0017] The second drive assembly includes a connector and two support bases. The attachment assembly is mounted on the connector, the connector is connected to the two support bases, and the two support bases are connected one-to-one with the output ends of the two first sub-drive components.
[0018] On the other hand, this utility model embodiment provides a reinforcement device, including a feeding mechanism, an attachment platform, and the aforementioned attachment mechanism. The feeding mechanism is used to transport auxiliary materials, and the attachment platform is used to place the attachment to be attached.
[0019] In the attachment mechanism of this utility model, since the first driving component can drive multiple second driving components to move independently along the first direction, and each second driving component can also drive the attachment component on it to move along the second direction, the attachment component on each second driving component can move independently along the first direction under the drive of the first driving component, and the attachment component on each second driving component can also move independently along the second direction under the drive of the second driving component. This makes the movements of multiple attachment components in the first and second directions independent of each other and do not affect each other. Thus, each attachment component can move independently along the first and second directions to pick up and attach a single auxiliary material. At the same time, multiple attachment components can also pick up and attach multiple auxiliary materials at the same time, increasing the number of auxiliary materials that the attachment mechanism can attach in a single time per unit time and improving the material attaching efficiency.
[0020] Moreover, since the movements of multiple attachment components in the first and second directions are independent and do not affect each other, at least two of the multiple attachment components can work simultaneously or work individually. Thus, the attachment mechanism can meet the material application requirements of different attachments with different amounts of auxiliary materials, enabling the attachment mechanism to be applied in more material application scenarios.

[0025] To make the technical problems solved, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.
[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, one embodiment of the present invention provides an attachment mechanism that can attach the required auxiliary materials to the attachment. For example, the attachment mechanism can attach reinforcing materials to the FPC to effectively improve the local stiffness of the FPC.
[0027] The attachment mechanism includes a first driving component 1, a plurality of second driving components 2 and a plurality of attachment components 3. The first driving component 1 can drive the plurality of second driving components 2 to move independently along a first direction.
[0028] Each second driving component 2 is equipped with an attachment component 3. Each second driving component 2 can drive the attachment component 3 thereon to move along a second direction, so that the attachment component 3 can pick up the auxiliary material and attach the auxiliary material to the attachment. The first direction and the second direction intersect. Figure 2 In this diagram, D1 represents the first direction and D2 represents the second direction.
[0029] Since the first driving component 1 can drive multiple second driving components 2 to move independently along the first direction, and each second driving component 2 can also drive the attachment component 3 on it to move along the second direction, the attachment component 3 on each second driving component 2 can move independently along the first direction under the drive of the first driving component 1, and the attachment component 3 on each second driving component 2 can also move independently along the second direction under the drive of the second driving component 2. This makes the movements of multiple attachment components 3 in the first and second directions independent of each other and do not affect each other. Thus, each attachment component 3 can move independently along the first and second directions to pick up and attach a single auxiliary material. At the same time, multiple attachment components 3 can also pick up and attach multiple auxiliary materials at the same time, increasing the number of auxiliary materials that the attachment mechanism can attach in a single time per unit time and improving the material attaching efficiency.
[0030] Moreover, since the movements of the multiple attachment components 3 in the first and second directions are independent of each other and do not affect each other, at least two of the multiple attachment components 3 can work simultaneously or work individually. Thus, the attachment mechanism can meet the requirements of different attachments with different amounts of auxiliary materials, enabling the attachment mechanism to be applied in more material application scenarios.
[0031] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the attachment component 3 includes a mounting base 31, a lifting component 32, and an attachment head 33. The mounting base 31 is connected to the output end of the second drive component 2, and the lifting component 32 is mounted on the mounting base 31.
[0032] The lifting assembly 32 can drive the patch head 33 to move up and down, and the patch head 33 can attach the absorbed auxiliary material to the attachment.
[0033] When applying the auxiliary material, the output end of the second drive component 2 only needs to drive the lifting component 32 to move horizontally to above the required application position on the accessory. The lifting component 32 simultaneously or subsequently applies the material picked up by the application head 33 onto the accessory, so that the output end of the second drive component 2 only needs to output horizontal movement along the second direction. The linear horizontal movement is simple and easy to implement.
[0034] It should be noted that the structure and working principle of the attachment component 3 have been disclosed in the prior art and will not be repeated here.
[0035] In one embodiment, the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.
[0036] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, multiple lifting components 32 are provided, and multiple lifting components 32 are connected one-to-one with multiple adhesive heads 33, so that each lifting component 32 can independently drive the corresponding adhesive head 33 to move up and down, thereby independently controlling the mounting height of each adhesive head 33 and meeting the mounting requirements of a single mounting position on the attached accessory.
[0037] For example, there are two lifting components 32 and two adhesive heads 33, with each lifting component 32 connected to one adhesive head 33.
[0038] In other embodiments, the lifting assembly 32 is connected to a plurality of applicator heads 33. For example, two applicator heads 33 are connected to the same lifting assembly 32, which drives the two applicator heads 33 to move synchronously.
[0039] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the attachment assembly 3 also includes a position detection element 34, which is mounted on the mounting base 31. When the first drive assembly 1 and the second drive assembly 2 drive the attachment assembly 3 to move, the position detection element 34 is used to detect the position of the auxiliary material so that the attachment head 33 can pick up the auxiliary material.
[0040] Specifically, the position detection component 34 is a laser pointer. After the first driving component 1 drives the patch head 33 to move a first set distance along the first direction and the second driving component 2 drives the patch head 33 to move a second set distance along the second direction, the laser pointer emits a laser towards the feeding mechanism for conveying auxiliary materials to determine whether the patch head 33 is located at the material picking position for absorbing auxiliary materials. If no auxiliary materials are detected, the first driving component 1 drives the second driving component 2, where the patch head 33 is located, to move along the first direction, and the second driving component 2 drives the corresponding patching component 3 to move along the second direction, until the laser pointer detects the auxiliary materials, indicating that the patch head 33 has moved to the correct material picking position.
[0041] The placement of the detection component 34 facilitates the initial positioning and adjustment of the material picking position of the adhesive head 33 of the adhesive mechanism.
[0042] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the attachment component 3 also includes a first vision unit 35, which is fixed to the output end of the first driving component 1. The first vision unit 35 is used to perform visual inspection on the auxiliary material when the attachment component 3 picks up the auxiliary material.
[0043] Specifically, after the attachment component 3 picks up the auxiliary material, the first drive component 1 and the second drive component 2 drive the auxiliary material picked up by the attachment component 3 to move to a position directly opposite the first vision unit 35. The first vision unit 35 performs visual inspection on the auxiliary material to determine whether the position of the auxiliary material picked up by the attachment component 3 is skewed. If there is skew, the auxiliary material is unqualified, and the attachment mechanism abandons attaching the auxiliary material to the attachment, thereby improving the attachment accuracy.
[0044] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the attachment component 3 also includes a material throwing box 36, which is installed on the second drive component 2. The material throwing box 36 is used to collect auxiliary materials that are detected as unqualified by the first vision unit 35.
[0045] The situation described as "the first visual unit 35 detects that it is unqualified" includes, but is not limited to: the position of the auxiliary material picked up by the attachment component 3 is skewed, and after the first visual unit 35 detects that the auxiliary material is unqualified, the attachment component 3 removes the adsorption force on the auxiliary material, so that the auxiliary material is thrown into the throwing box 36.
[0046] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the attachment assembly 3 also includes at least one ion blowing element 37, which is mounted on the top of the throwing box 36 and has a plurality of blowing ports facing the interior of the throwing box 36.
[0047] The ion blowing component 37 can blow out ionized gas to eliminate static electricity between the surface of the attachment component 3 and the auxiliary material, thus solving the problem of difficulty in material removal when there is static electricity between the attachment component 3 and the auxiliary material.
[0048] Specifically, the top opening of the throwing box 36 is provided with ion blowing components 37 on both sides along the second direction. Multiple blowing ports on the ion blowing components 37 are distributed at intervals along the first direction, and the openings of the multiple blowing ports on each ion blowing component 37 face the ion blowing component 37 on the other side.
[0049] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 As shown, the first vision unit 35 is an upward-viewing camera, which is located below the mounting base 31 of the second drive assembly 2. During the process of the auxiliary material picked up by the attachment assembly 3 being driven by the first drive assembly 1 and the second drive assembly 2, the upward-viewing camera can take pictures of the auxiliary material from above, thereby improving the detection efficiency.
[0050] In one embodiment, the attachment component 3 further includes a second vision unit 38, which is disposed on the mounting base 31. The second vision unit 38 is used to visually inspect the attachment when the attachment head 33 attaches the auxiliary material to the attachment, so as to take pictures to locate the required attachment position on the attachment, improve the accuracy of the material application, and also check whether there is any missing material application.
[0051] Specifically, there are two attachment components 3, which are spaced apart along the second direction. In the second direction, the second vision unit 38 is located between the two attachment components 3 to locate the mounting positions corresponding to the two attachment components 3.
[0052] In one embodiment, the second vision unit 38 is a downward-facing camera, which is used to take pictures and detect the desired mounting position on the attachment from below.
[0053] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the first drive component 1 includes two first sub-drive components 11, which are spaced apart along the second direction.
[0054] The second drive assembly 2 includes a connector 21 and two support seats 22. The attachment assembly 3 is installed on the connector 21. The connector 21 is connected to the two support seats 22. The two support seats 22 are connected to the output ends of the two first sub-drive components 11 in a corresponding manner.
[0055] Specifically, the two first driving components are arranged parallel to each other along the second direction, the first vision unit 35 and the throwing box 36 are both mounted on the same support base 22, and the two first sub-driving components 11 drive the second driving assembly 2 to move along the first direction through the two support bases 22 respectively.
[0056] In one embodiment, two second driving components 2 are provided, and the two second driving components 2 are spaced apart along the second direction. Each second driving component 2 is equipped with an attachment component 3, and each attachment component 3 is provided with two attachment heads 33 spaced apart along the second direction, so that the attachment mechanism can pick up and attach up to four auxiliary materials at the same time.
[0057] Of course, in practical applications, the number of the second driving component 2 and the number of the adhesive heads 33 of the adhesive component 3 can be adjusted according to the requirements.
[0058] In one embodiment, the first drive component 1 includes a linear motor, and the support base 22 is connected to the mover of the linear motor.
[0059] The second drive assembly 2 also includes a linear motor, and the mounting base 31 is connected to the mover of the linear motor.
[0060] In other embodiments, the linear motor can be replaced by a servo motor and a lead screw and nut.
[0061] In addition, one embodiment of the present invention provides a reinforcing device, including a feeding mechanism, an attachment platform, and an attachment mechanism. The feeding mechanism is used to transport auxiliary materials, the attachment platform is used to place the attachment to be attached, and the attachment component 3 of the attachment mechanism is used to pick up the auxiliary materials on the feeding mechanism and attach the auxiliary materials to the attachment to be attached on the attachment platform. The structure of the attachment mechanism is the same as that of the attachment mechanism in any of the above embodiments, and will not be described again here.
[0062] For example, the attachment can be an FPC, the auxiliary material can be a reinforcing material, and the attachment mechanism is used to pick up the reinforcing material and attach it to the FPC to improve the local stiffness of the FPC.
[0063] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
