Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of transportation technology, and in particular to a material box transfer mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In the overall structure of a nitrogen flat plate oven, the soldering of chips and solder paste is one of the key processes. After the soldering is completed, the entire soldered assembly needs to be transferred to a hopper for subsequent chip insertion. By setting up clamping components, the hopper is fixed and moved to a suitable position to ensure that it remains stable while waiting for chip insertion.

[0003] Because the step dimensions of different material boxes are inconsistent, the existing clamping components are not compatible with various sizes of material boxes, which may lead to instability in the clamping process and thus affect the overall transfer accuracy and reliability. Utility Model Content

[0020] Base;

[0021] A transfer assembly is disposed on the base. The transfer assembly includes a first bearing module and a second bearing module arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The first bearing module is used to transport empty material boxes, and the second bearing module is used to carry full material boxes.

[0022] A drive module is disposed on the base and is drivenly connected to the mounting base to drive the mounting base to move along a first direction and a second direction, so that the first clamping component and the second clamping component move to the first bearing module and clamp the empty material box, waiting for the workpiece to be placed in, and then placing the full material box into the second bearing module.

[0023] In one embodiment, the first bearing module includes:

[0024] A support plate is disposed on the base, and the support plate is horizontally arranged.

[0029] Multiple first mounting blocks are provided. The first mounting block is located at one end of the support plate near the mounting base. The first mounting block is provided with a second elongated hole, which extends along the first direction.

[0030] A second mounting block is disposed on one side of the support block and connected to the support block, and the second mounting block is provided with a second mounting hole;

[0031] The second fastener passes through the second elongated hole and is screwed into the second mounting hole to adjust the tension of the belt.

A driving component drives the first clamping component to move vertically on the mounting base, so that the first clamping component moves closer to or further away from the second clamping component to adapt to material boxes of different heights. Specifically, the first clamping component includes a connecting seat arranged on the mounting base and a clamping block rotatably arranged on the connecting seat. The side of the clamping block facing the second clamping component is an arc surface, and the arc surface abuts against the top edge of the material box. The arc surface protrudes downwards, and the protrusion position is the lowest. When the first clamping component and the second clamping component clamp the material box, the surface of the arc surface near the connecting seat abuts against the edge of the step. Regardless of how the height and width of the step are adjusted, it is in contact with the surface of the arc surface near the connecting seat. Due to the inclined limiting of the arc surface, the horizontal rotation of the material box can be prevented, so that the clamping of the first clamping component and the second clamping component is more stable, improving the overall transfer accuracy and reliability of the material box.

[0065] This utility model proposes a material box transfer mechanism.

[0066] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 3 In one embodiment of this utility model, the material box transfer mechanism is used to clamp the material box 10, the outer edge of the material box 10 has a step 11, and the material box transfer mechanism includes:

[0067] Mounting base 100;

[0068] The first clamping assembly 200 includes a connecting seat 210 and a clamping block 220. The connecting seat 210 is slidably disposed on the mounting seat 100, and the clamping block 220 is movably disposed on the connecting seat 210 and is used to clamp the step 11 on the top of the material box 10. The surface of the clamping block 220 that contacts the material box 10 is an arc surface 221, and the arc surface 221 protrudes in a direction away from the clamping block 220. The axial length direction of the arc surface 221 is consistent with the length direction of the step 11.

[0069] The second clamping assembly 300 is disposed on the mounting base 100 and is positioned opposite to the first clamping assembly 200. The second clamping assembly 300 is used to clamp the bottom of the material box 10; and

[0070] A drive assembly 110 is disposed on the mounting base 100. The drive assembly 110 is driven to the first clamping assembly 200 to drive the first clamping assembly 200 to move vertically on the mounting base 100, so as to adjust the distance between the first clamping assembly 200 and the second clamping assembly 300.

[0071] In the technical solution of this utility model, the material box transfer mechanism includes a mounting base 100. A first clamping component 200 and a second clamping component 300 are sequentially arranged from top to bottom on the mounting base 100. A driving component 110 drives the first clamping component 200 to move vertically on the mounting base 100, allowing the first clamping component 200 to move closer to or further away from the second clamping component 300 to accommodate material boxes 10 of different heights. Specifically, the first clamping component 200 includes a connecting seat 210 disposed on the mounting base 100 and a clamping block 220 rotatably disposed on the connecting seat 210. The clamping block 220 faces the second clamping component 300. The side is an arc surface 221, which abuts against the top edge of the material box 10. The arc surface 221 protrudes downwards and is at its lowest point. When the first clamping component 200 and the second clamping component 300 clamp the material box 10, the surface of the arc surface 221 near the connecting seat 210 abuts against the edge of the step 11. Regardless of how the height and width of the step 11 are adjusted, it is in contact with the surface of the arc surface 221 near the connecting seat 210. Due to the inclined limit of the arc surface 221, the material box 10 can be prevented from rotating horizontally, so that the clamping of the first clamping component 200 and the second clamping component 300 is more stable, and the overall transfer accuracy and reliability of the material box 10 are improved.

[0072] Specifically, the material box 10 is used to carry workpieces such as frames and chip boards transported in the previous process. The material box 10 is horizontally positioned with openings at both ends so that workpieces can be inserted into the material box 10 through the openings. Multiple insertion slots 12 are spaced apart on the inner wall of the material box 10 to hold the workpieces. To enable more precise transport by the material box 10, steps 11 can be provided protruding along the edge of the material box 10. The steps 11 extend along the length of the edge of the material box 10. Please refer to [reference needed]. Figure 4The top edge of the material box 10 has an upward-protruding step 11, and the bottom two sides also have downward-protruding steps 11. The length direction of the steps 11 is consistent with the length direction of the material box 10 and the length direction of the slot. The height and width of the steps 11 vary in different devices. The first clamping component 200 and the second clamping component 300 in this solution clamp the material boxes 10 with different steps 11. The first clamping component 200 and the second clamping component 300 are installed alternately on the mounting base 100. The mounting base 100, as a carrier, can be made of metal such as alloys; its specific material and shape are not limited. The space between the first clamping component 200 and the second clamping component 300 is used to support the material box 10. The first clamping component 200 and the second clamping component 300 are matched... The clamping component 10 is used to hold the material box 10. A drive component 110 is provided on the mounting base 100, which drives the first clamping component 200 to move vertically on the mounting base 100. This allows the first clamping component 200 to move closer to or further away from the second clamping component 300, adapting to material boxes 10 of different heights. Specifically, the drive component 110 is a lead screw module, including a servo motor, a lead screw, and a nut. The servo motor is mounted on the mounting base 100. One end of the lead screw is driven and connected to the output end of the servo motor, and the lead screw extends downward. The nut is screwed to the lead screw and connected to the connecting base 210. The servo motor drives the lead screw to rotate, causing the connecting base 210 and the nut to extend along the length of the lead screw. The drive component 110 can also be a cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or a linear module, etc., which are not limited here. The second clamping assembly 300 is fixed on the mounting base 100 and is used to clamp the bottom of the material box 10. The shape of the second clamping assembly 300 is not limited; it can be configured as a support platform protruding from the mounting base 100. The first clamping assembly 200 includes a clamping block 220 and a connecting seat 210. The connecting seat 210 is slidably disposed on the mounting base 100. The clamping block 220 is disposed on the connecting seat 210 and is rotatably connected to the connecting seat 210. The clamping block 220 is used to clamp the step 11 at the top of the material box 10. The bottom of the clamping block 220, that is, the surface in contact with the material box 10, is an arc surface 221. The arc surface 221 protrudes in the direction away from the clamping block 220, that is, in the direction towards the second clamping assembly 300. Please refer to... Figure 3The most prominent position in the middle of the arc surface 221 is configured as the protrusion. The arc surface 221 near the connecting seat 210 is configured as the first face, and the arc surface 221 away from the connecting seat 210 is configured as the second face. The protrusion is located between the first face and the second face. The spacing direction of the two ends of the clamping block 220 is configured as the third direction, which is the length direction of the axis. The third direction is consistent with the length direction of the step 11. When the first clamping assembly 200 and the second clamping assembly 300 clamp the top and bottom of the material box 10 respectively, the first face abuts against the edge of the step 11 near the center of the material box 10. Since the protrusion is lower than the first face, the protrusion limits the step 11, which can prevent the material box 10 from rotating in the horizontal direction. This allows the material box 10 to be clamped more stably and wait for the workpiece to be put in, improving the overall transfer accuracy and reliability.

[0073] In one embodiment, the first clamping assembly 200 further includes:

[0074] The connecting block 230 is located on the side of the connecting seat 210 facing the second clamping assembly 300;

[0075] A connecting shaft 240 is rotatably mounted on a connecting block 230, and a clamping block 220 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the connecting shaft 240;

[0076] A tension spring 250 elastically connects the connecting shaft 240 and the connecting block 230.

[0077] Please refer to Figure 2 The first clamping assembly 200 includes a connecting block 230, a connecting shaft 240, and a tension spring 250. The connecting block 230 is installed at the bottom of the connecting seat 210 and faces the second clamping assembly 300. The connecting block 230 includes a first connecting portion installed at the bottom of the connecting seat 210 and second connecting portions disposed at both ends of the first connecting portion. The second connecting portions protrude downwards. The connecting shaft 240 is rotatably disposed between the two second connecting portions. The connecting shaft 240 can be rotatably connected to the second connecting portions through bearings. The connecting shaft 240 also passes through a clamping block 220, so that the clamping block 220 rotates together with the connecting shaft 240. A tension spring 250 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 240, with its two ends respectively... The first connecting part is connected to the clamping block 220. The tension spring 250 causes the clamping block 220 to have a tendency to rotate toward the mounting base 100. That is, when the first clamping component 200 initially contacts the material box 10, the edge of the top step 11 of the material box 10 will drive the clamping block 220 to rotate outward, that is, away from the mounting base 100, so that the first face abuts against the edge of the step 11. As the first clamping component 200 and the second clamping component 300 clamp the material box 10, the first face clamps the step 11, and with the help of the tension spring 250, the clamping block 220 is pulled toward the mounting base 100, so that the first face abuts against the material box 10 more tightly, thus making the material box 10 clamped more stably.

[0078] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the connecting block 230 is provided with a plurality of first mounting holes (not shown) along the first direction, the connecting seat 210 is provided with a first elongated hole 211, and the first elongated hole 211 extends along the first direction. The first clamping assembly 200 also includes a first fastener (not shown), the first fastener passes through the first elongated hole 211 and is screwed to one of the first mounting holes to fix the connecting seat 210 and the connecting block 230.

[0079] Please refer to Figure 2 A first elongated hole 211 is provided on the connecting seat 210, and multiple first mounting holes are provided at intervals on the connecting block 230. The arrangement direction of the first mounting holes is the same as the extension direction of the first elongated hole 211, that is, perpendicular to the third direction. A first fastener is provided, which passes through the first elongated hole 211 from top to bottom and connects with the first mounting holes. The first fastener is a mounting bolt. By changing the first mounting hole connected to the first fastener, the position of the connecting block 230 can be adjusted in a first direction, which is when the first clamping assembly 200 approaches the material box. The direction of 10 can also be adapted to different step widths 11. In addition, in order to ensure the installation stability of the connecting block 230, two first elongated holes 211 are provided at intervals along the third direction on the connecting seat 210. Correspondingly, two rows of first mounting holes are provided at intervals along the third direction on the connecting block 230, and multiple first mounting holes are also provided at intervals in each row. Two first fasteners are provided accordingly, so that the connecting block 230 is more stable on the connecting seat 210, and the connecting block 230 is prevented from rotating on the connecting seat 210, which would cause instability in the material box 10 and affect the placement of the workpiece.

[0080] In an embodiment of this utility model, the material box transfer mechanism further includes a support frame 260 and a buffer assembly 500. The support frame 260 is slidably disposed on the mounting base 100, and the drive assembly 110 is drivenly connected to the support frame 260. The buffer assembly 500 includes:

[0081] The guide post 510 extends along the arrangement direction of the first clamping assembly 200 and the second clamping assembly 300. The end of the guide post 510 away from the second clamping assembly 300 passes through the support frame 260 and is fixedly connected to the connecting seat 210. The end near the second clamping assembly 300 is provided with a limiting plate 511.

[0082] A compression spring 520 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the guide post 510, and the compression spring 520 elastically connects the limiting plate 511 and the support frame 260.

[0083] The buffer 530 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the guide post 510 and is located on the side of the connecting seat 210 facing the support frame 260.

[0084] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The support frame 260 slides vertically on the mounting base 100, and the connecting seat 210 is mounted on the support frame 260. The drive component 110 drives the connected support frame 260. In this embodiment, the drive component 110 is a lead screw module, that is, the nut is fixedly connected to the support frame 260, so as to realize the rise of the support frame 260 and the first clamping component 200 on the mounting base 100. In addition, in order to ensure that the first clamping component 200 is clamped more stably, at least one guide rail can be provided on the side of the mounting base 100 where the first clamping component 200 is located, and a slider is provided on the side of the support frame 260 facing the mounting base 100. The slider is slidably connected to the guide rail. The cooperation between the guide rail and the slider makes the lifting of the first clamping component 200 more controllable and more stable.

[0085] like Figure 2 As shown, the support frame 260 includes a vertically extending first support portion 261 and a horizontally extending second support portion 262. A slider is provided on the back of the first support portion 261, which slides in cooperation with a guide rail on the mounting base 100. The second support portion 262 is at a 90° angle to the first support portion 261, and a nut is installed on the second support portion 262. A guide post 510 is also provided on the second support portion 262. The guide post 510 passes through the second support portion 262 from bottom to top and connects to the connecting base 210. The connecting base 210 and the guide post 510 can be connected by fastening screws. Next, a limiting plate 511 is provided at the bottom of the guide post 510, and the limiting plate 511 extends radially, that is, the cross-sectional dimension of the limiting plate 511 is larger than the cross-sectional dimension of the guide post 510. A compression spring 520 is provided between the bottom of the second support part 262 and the limiting plate 511, and the compression spring 520 is sleeved on the outer periphery of the guide post 510. The compression spring 520 is in a compressed state. A buffer member 530 is also provided at the bottom of the connecting seat 210. The buffer member 530 is sleeved on the guide post 510. The buffer member 530 can be made of a material with a certain elasticity, such as rubber. When the first clamping assembly 200 and the second clamping assembly 300 are not clamping the material box 10, the compression spring 520 is in a compression trend. Since the support frame 260 is fixed, the rebound of the compression spring 520 will drive the limiting plate 511 to move downward, which will also drive the guide post 510 and the connecting seat 210 to descend, so that the buffer 530 is tightly attached to the upper surface of the second support part 262, and there is no gap between the buffer 530 and the second support part 262. When the first clamping assembly 200 clamps the material box 10, the pressing block 220 contacts the material box 10, which also causes the pressing block 220 and the connecting seat 210 to move upward. The connecting seat 210 drives the guide post 510 and the limiting plate 511 to move upward, which makes the compression spring 520 more compressed, which in turn makes the limiting plate 511, the guide post 510 and the connecting seat 210 have a downward tendency, making the first clamping assembly 200 clamp more tightly and more stably, and preventing the material box 10 from moving during the clamping process.

[0086] In an embodiment of this utility model, the material box transfer mechanism further includes:

[0087] Base 600;

[0088] The transfer component 800 is located on the base 600. The transfer component 800 includes a first bearing module 810 and a second bearing module 820 arranged sequentially from top to bottom. The first bearing module 810 is used to transport empty material boxes 10, and the second bearing module 820 is used to carry full material boxes 10.

[0089] A drive module 400 is disposed on a base 600. The drive module 400 is driven to connect with a mounting base 100 to drive the mounting base 100 to move along a first direction and a second direction, so that the first clamping component 200 and the second clamping component 300 move to the first bearing module 810 and clamp the empty material box 10, waiting for the workpiece to be placed in, and then placing the full material box 10 into the second bearing module 820.
