Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of insertion machines, and in particular to a chain clamping mechanism for a horizontal automatic component insertion machine. Background Technology

[0002] Insertion machines are devices that insert various electronic components into designated positions on a PCB board. Many insertion machines typically use chain clamping mechanisms to hold and transport these electronic components. However, existing chain clamping mechanisms suffer from poor clamping stability due to the uneven surface smoothness of the components they support. This results in inaccurate positioning of the components on the chain clamping mechanism, affecting the stability of subsequent removal of the components and impacting work efficiency.

[0003] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a chain clamping mechanism for a horizontal automatic parts insertion machine to solve the above-mentioned technical problems. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides a chain clamping mechanism for a horizontal automatic component insertion machine to solve the problem that the existing chain clamping mechanism does not clamp electronic components accurately enough, which affects the stability of subsequent material removal from the chain clamping mechanism and affects work efficiency.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is: a chain clamping mechanism for a horizontal automatic parts insertion machine, which includes: a chain clamping block, a chain clamping pressure plate, an elastic element, and a sliding plate;

[0006] The chain clamping block includes a through mounting groove. Two chain clamping plates are elastically rotatably disposed in the mounting groove via the elastic element. The two ends of each chain clamping plate are a driving end and a clamping end, respectively. The driving end and the clamping end extend outside the two ends of the mounting groove. A sliding plate covers the side of the chain clamping block near the clamping end. The sliding plate is provided with a clearance hole corresponding to the mounting groove. The driving force of the elastic element causes the clamping ends of the two chain clamping plates to clamp the electronic component on the sliding plate from different sides. When the driving end is squeezed, it can drive the two clamping ends to move away from each other.

[0007] In this utility model, connecting plates are provided at both ends of one side of the slide plate, and connecting grooves are provided on the chain clamp block. The connecting plates are interference-fitted with the connecting grooves.

[0008] The connecting plate has a notch at one corner away from the sliding piece, and the notch is opposite to the mounting groove.

[0009] In this invention, a groove is provided on one side of the chain clamp block, and the groove extends through two opposite sides of the chain clamp block along the rotation axis of the chain clamp pressure plate, and the sliding plate is positioned and fitted within the groove.

[0010] Furthermore, when the slider is positioned and fitted within the groove, the outer surface of the slider is flush with the outer surface of the chain clamp block.

[0011] In this invention, the chain clamp is made of cast iron, and the sliding plate is made of stainless steel.

[0012] In this utility model, the clamping end of the chain clamping plate is a bent structure, and the two clamping ends are bent in a direction that brings them closer to each other.

[0013] The chain clamp block is provided with a first V-groove, and the slide is provided with a second V-groove that matches the first V-groove. The second V-groove is located between the two chain clamping plates, and the clamping ends of the two chain clamping plates press the electronic components into the second V-groove.

[0014] In this invention, the end of the driving end away from the clamping end is rotatably connected to the chain clamping block via a rotating pin, the other end of the driving end is provided with an arc-shaped pressure surface, and one side of the driving end is provided with a positioning plane, which is located between the arc-shaped pressure surface and the rotating pin.

[0015] In this invention, the chain clamp block is further provided with a sliding groove, the groove opening direction is consistent with the extension direction of the clamping end, a bearing is provided in the sliding groove, and the axial direction of the bearing is parallel to the rotation axis of the chain clamp pressure plate.

[0016] In this invention, a positioning protrusion is provided on one side of the chain clamp block extending from the drive end. The positioning protrusion is used to position and cooperate with the positioning groove on the conveyor line to limit the sliding trajectory of the chain clamp block.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: the chain clamp mechanism of the horizontal automatic component insertion machine of this utility model sets a sliding plate on the chain clamp block, so that electronic components can be stably and accurately pressed into the set position on the sliding plate by the chain clamp plate, and can be stably and accurately picked up from the chain clamp mechanism, resulting in high work efficiency.

[0018] In addition, when the insertion of electronic components at a specific location fails, the chain clamping mechanism at that location can return to the corresponding unloading mechanism for replacement.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0024] The directional terms mentioned in this utility model, such as "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "inner", "outer", "side", "top" and "bottom", are only for reference to the orientation of the accompanying drawings. The directional terms used are for the purpose of explaining and understanding this utility model, and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0025] The terms "first" and "second" in this utility model are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance, nor as a restriction on the order of events.

[0026] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "joining," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, a connection can be a detachable connection or a connection of an integral structure. It can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can be a connection within two components or an interaction between two components. For those skilled in the art, the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model can be understood according to the specific circumstances.

[0027] The existing chain clamping mechanism suffers from poor material clamping stability due to the poor smoothness of the surface supporting the electronic components. The position of the electronic components clamped on the chain clamping mechanism is not precise enough, which affects the stability of subsequent unloading of electronic components from the chain clamping mechanism and reduces work efficiency.

[0028] The following is a preferred embodiment of a chain clamping mechanism for a horizontal automatic parts insertion machine that can solve the above-mentioned technical problems provided by this utility model.

[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the diagram, units with similar structures are represented by the same labels.

[0030] This embodiment provides a chain clamping mechanism for a horizontal automatic component insertion machine, which includes: a chain clamping block 11, a chain clamping pressure plate 12, an elastic element 16, and a sliding plate 13.

[0031] The chain clamping block 11 includes a through mounting groove 112. Two chain clamping plates 12 are elastically rotatably disposed in the mounting groove 112 via an elastic element 16. The two ends of the chain clamping plates 12 are a driving end 121 and a clamping end 122, respectively. The driving end 121 and the clamping end 122 extend out of the two ends of the mounting groove 112. A sliding plate 13 covers the side of the chain clamping block 11 near the clamping end 122. The sliding plate 13 is provided with a clearance hole 131 corresponding to the mounting groove 112. The driving force of the elastic element 16 causes the clamping ends 122 of the two chain clamping plates 12 to clamp the electronic components on the sliding plate 13 from different sides of the electronic components. When the driving end 121 is squeezed, it can drive the two clamping ends 122 to move away from each other.

[0032] Specifically, the chain clamp block 11 is provided with a first V-groove 115, and the slide plate 13 is provided with a second V-groove 133 that is adapted to the first V-groove 115. The second V-groove 133 is located between the two chain clamping plates 12, and the clamping ends 122 of the two chain clamping plates 12 press the electronic components into the second V-groove 133.

[0033] By setting the slider 13, the electronic components can be stably and accurately pressed into the bottom end of the second V-groove 133 by the chain clamping plate 12, and can be stably and accurately picked up from the second V-groove 133, resulting in high work efficiency.

[0034] In this embodiment, the elastic element 16 is a spring. A protrusion 123 for positioning and connecting the elastic element 16 is provided on one side of the chain clamp pressure plate 12 so that the chain clamp pressure plate 12 and the elastic element 16 are stably engaged.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 3 In this embodiment, connecting plates 132 are provided at both ends of one side of the slide plate 13, and connecting grooves 113 are provided on the chain clamp block 11. The connecting plates 132 and the connecting grooves 113 are interference-fitted, which allows for convenient assembly and disassembly of the slide plate 13.

[0036] The connecting plate 132 has a notch 1321 at one corner away from the slide plate 13. The notch 1321 is opposite to the mounting groove 112, which allows for a larger connecting plate 132 without affecting the movement of the chain clamping plate 12 inside the mounting groove 112. The connecting plate 132 has high strength and stable connection effect.

[0037] In this embodiment, a groove 114 is provided on one side of the chain clamp block 11. The groove 114 extends through the two opposite sides of the chain clamp block 11 along the rotation axis of the chain clamp pressure plate 12. The slide plate 13 is positioned and fitted in the groove 114.

[0038] When the slider 13 is positioned and fitted within the groove 114, the outer surface of the slider 13 is flush with the outer surface of the chain clamp block 11. The slider 13 and the chain clamp block 11 can form a compact connection structure.

[0039] In this embodiment, the chain clamp 11 is made of cast iron, and the slide plate 13 is made of stainless steel. The surface of the slide plate 13 can be made smoother, and the overall structure has a low cost.

[0040] In this embodiment, the clamping end 122 of the chain clamping plate 12 has a bent structure, and the two clamping ends 122 are bent in a direction that brings them closer to each other.

[0041] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 In this embodiment, the end of the drive end 121 away from the clamping end 122 is rotatably connected to the chain clamping block 11 via a rotating pin 14. The other end of the drive end 121 is provided with an arc-shaped pressure surface 1211. A positioning plane 1211 is provided on one side of the drive end 121. The positioning plane 1211 is located between the arc-shaped pressure surface 1211 and the rotating pin 14.

[0042] The chain clamp mechanism moves on the conveyor line, which is equipped with an extrusion component for pressing the arc-shaped pressure surface 1211. When the chain clamp mechanism moves to press against the extrusion component, it causes the two chain clamp plates 12 to open. When the two chain clamp plates 12 are open, the positioning plane 1211 can form a stable surface contact with the extrusion component, so that the two chain clamp plates 12 are stably kept in the open state.

[0043] Please refer to Figure 1 In this embodiment, the chain clamp block 11 is also provided with a sliding groove 111. The groove opening direction of the sliding groove 111 is consistent with the extension direction of the clamping end 122. A bearing 15 is provided in the sliding groove 111, and the axial direction of the bearing 15 is parallel to the rotation axis of the chain clamp pressure plate 12. When the drive end 121 is pressed against the pressing component, a corresponding limiting plate extends into the sliding groove 111 and contacts the bearing 15 to realize the smooth movement of the chain clamp mechanism on the conveyor line.

[0044] Please refer to Figure 2In this embodiment, a positioning protrusion 116 is provided on one side of the drive end 121 of the chain clamp block 11. The positioning protrusion 116 is used to cooperate with the positioning groove on the conveyor line to limit the sliding trajectory of the chain clamp block 11. At the same time, the chain clamp block 11 can also be stably stopped on the conveyor line, which makes it easy to remove electronic components from the chain clamp mechanism.

[0045] It should be noted that the conveyor line includes a conveyor chain, and the chain clamp 11 is connected to the conveyor chain and is moved by the conveyor chain.

[0046] The working principle of the chain clamping mechanism of this utility model is as follows: In the natural state, the driving force of the elastic element 16 will cause the clamping ends 122 of the two chain clamping plates 12 to clamp the electronic components.

[0047] After the electronic components are inserted by the insertion robot, the chain clamp block 11 moves with the conveyor line to the loading position. The loading position is equipped with a corresponding pressing component, which presses the drive end 121, causing the clamping ends 122 of the two chain clamp plates 12 to move away from each other, thus opening the two clamping ends 122. The two chain clamp plates 12 can expand to a larger space to receive electronic components.

[0048] The electronic components being fed will fall stably and accurately into the second V-groove 133 and slide to the bottom of the second V-groove 133, where they will be pressed and secured by the chain clamping plate 12. When the chain clamping block 11 moves to a position where the pressing component no longer presses the drive end 121, the elastic element 16 will drive the clamping ends 122 of the two chain clamping plates 12 to stably and accurately press and secure the electronic components to the bottom of the second V-groove 133.

[0049] Then the conveyor line will move the chain clamp block 11 carrying the electronic components to the insertion position, where the insertion robot will cut off the legs and remove the electronic components for insertion.

[0050] This completes the process of conveying electronic products using the chain clamp mechanism of the horizontal automatic component insertion machine in this preferred embodiment.

[0051] In this preferred embodiment, the chain clamp mechanism of the horizontal automatic component insertion machine uses a sliding plate on the chain clamp block. Electronic components can be stably and accurately pressed into the set position on the sliding plate by the chain clamp plate, and can then be stably and accurately picked up from the chain clamp mechanism, resulting in high work efficiency.

[0052] In addition, when the insertion of electronic components at a specific location fails, the chain clamping mechanism at that location can return to the corresponding unloading mechanism for replacement. The electronic components that have not been inserted can remain clamped on the chain clamping mechanism without falling off, so as to achieve automatic and rapid replacement.

[0053] In summary, although the present invention has been disclosed above with reference to preferred embodiments, the above preferred embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and refinements without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the scope defined in the claims.
