[0002] In today's electronics manufacturing industry, surface mount technology (SMT) has become the mainstream technology for circuit board assembly. This technology involves picking up and placing various surface mount components, such as resistors, capacitors, and IC chips, onto printed circuit boards (PCBs). To achieve this process, the industry widely uses automated placement machines, which are typically equipped with intelligent robotic arms to perform precise placement operations.

[0003] In the electronics manufacturing industry, although existing surface mount technology equipment has achieved high-precision mounting through intelligent robotic arms, its high cost and complex operation and maintenance requirements limit its use by small and medium-sized enterprises. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a simpler and more cost-effective pick-and-place device. Utility Model Content

[0004] One objective of this invention is to provide a surface mount technology (SMT) pick-and-place device for surface mount technicians. This invention addresses the problem mentioned in the background that, although existing surface mount technology equipment in the electronics manufacturing industry achieves high-precision mounting through intelligent robotic arms, its high cost and complex operation and maintenance requirements limit its use by small and medium-sized enterprises. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a surface mount pick-and-place device that is easy to operate and more cost-effective.

[0005] A patch pick-and-place device for patch technicians according to an embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0006] The pickup and placement mechanism includes a housing, a support base fixedly installed inside the housing, a first rotating shaft rotatably installed inside the support base, a tripod fixedly installed at one end of the first rotating shaft, the first rotating shaft being fixedly installed at the output end of a first motor, a positioning rod and a fixing sleeve respectively fixedly installed on the triangular sides inside the tripod, a second rotating shaft rotatably installed inside the fixing sleeve, a suction nozzle installed on the outer side of the second rotating shaft, and a transmission component for circumferential rotation of the suction nozzle provided on the outer side of the first rotating shaft, the positioning rod and the second rotating shaft;

[0007] The feeding mechanism includes a feeding frame, the outer side of which is mounted to a limiting component that limits the position of the patch.

[0008] The conveying mechanism, installed on one side of the housing in the pick-and-place mechanism, is used to transport the components after they have been mounted.

[0009] Preferably, the first motor is fixedly mounted on one side of the support base.

[0010] Preferably, the suction nozzle is fixedly connected to the second rotating shaft by bolts and threads.

[0011] Preferably, the transmission assembly includes a first transmission wheel, a second transmission wheel, and a third transmission wheel. The first transmission wheel, the second transmission wheel, and the third transmission wheel are respectively fixedly disposed on the outer side of the first rotating shaft, the positioning rod, and the second rotating shaft. A transmission belt is driven on the outer side of each of the first transmission wheel, the second transmission wheel, and the third transmission wheel.

[0012] Preferably, the limiting component includes a limiting rod and a first adjustable bracket, a second adjustable bracket fixed by bolts on the side of the first adjustable bracket near the unloading frame, and a limiting plate fixed by bolts at the bottom of the second adjustable bracket.

[0013] Preferably, the limiting rod is fixedly installed inside the feeding frame at one end near the feeding port.

[0014] Preferably, the conveying mechanism includes a conveying frame, with rollers symmetrically rotatably arranged on one side inside the conveying frame, and a conveyor belt drivingly connecting the two rollers. The rollers are fixedly mounted on the output end of the second motor.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0017] This invention effectively avoids the limitations of high costs and complex operation and maintenance requirements by using a specially designed pick-and-place mechanism. In operation, a first motor drives a first rotating shaft, which in turn rotates a tripod. A transmission assembly, consisting of multiple transmission wheels and a transmission belt, enables multiple suction nozzles to rotate synchronously. Combined with the rotation of the tripod, the suction nozzles can pick up the patches from the feeding mechanism and then rotate them into the conveying mechanism for placement. Therefore, this pick-and-place mechanism greatly simplifies the operation, eliminating the need for complex programming and precise robotic arm control, thus reducing the skill requirements for operators. Furthermore, due to the relatively simple mechanical structure and motor drive, manufacturing and maintenance costs are effectively controlled, allowing small and medium-sized enterprises to obtain an efficient and reliable patch pick-and-place solution with a lower investment cost.

[0018] This invention, through its feeding mechanism, allows the first and second adjustable brackets to change the height and lateral position of the limiting plate when the nozzle picks up the patch inside the feeding frame. This effectively confines the patch inside the feeding frame, facilitating the nozzle's pick-and-place motion after adsorbing the patch. This achieves precise positioning and efficient conveying of the patch, reduces mounting errors caused by inaccurate patch positioning, and improves production efficiency and product quality.

[0026] refer to Figure 1-4 A chip placement and pickup device for chip placement technicians, comprising:

[0027] The pickup and placement mechanism 1 includes a housing 101. A support base 102 is fixedly installed inside the housing 101. A first rotating shaft 103 is rotatably mounted inside the support base 102. A tripod 105 is fixedly mounted at one end of the first rotating shaft 103. The first rotating shaft 103 is fixedly mounted to the output end of a first motor 112. A positioning rod 106 and a fixing sleeve 107 are fixedly mounted on the triangular sides inside the tripod 105. A second rotating shaft 108 is rotatably mounted inside the fixing sleeve 107. A suction nozzle 113 is mounted on the outer side of the second rotating shaft 108. A transmission assembly for the circumferential rotation of the suction nozzle 113 is provided on the outer sides of the first rotating shaft 103, the positioning rod 106, and the second rotating shaft 108. The transmission assembly includes a first transmission wheel 104, a second transmission wheel 109, and a third transmission wheel 100. The three drive wheels 110, the first drive wheel 104, the second drive wheel 109 and the third drive wheel 110 are respectively fixedly disposed on the outside of the first rotating shaft 103, the positioning rod 106 and the second rotating shaft 108. The outer sides of the first drive wheel 104, the second drive wheel 109 and the third drive wheel 110 are all driven by drive belts 111. The first motor drives the first rotating shaft to rotate, which in turn drives the tripod to rotate. Since the first rotating shaft and the tripod are equipped with a transmission assembly, the transmission assembly uses multiple drive wheels and drive belts to realize that multiple suction nozzles rotate synchronously. Then, in conjunction with the rotation of the tripod, the suction nozzles can be able to pick up the patches in the feeding mechanism and then rotate them into the conveying mechanism for placement. Therefore, this pick-and-place mechanism greatly simplifies the pick-and-place operation.

[0028] The feeding mechanism 2 includes a feeding frame 201. A limiting component for limiting the position of the patch is installed on the outside of the feeding frame 201. The limiting component includes a limiting rod 202 and a first adjustable bracket 203. A second adjustable bracket 204 is fixed to the side of the first adjustable bracket 203 near the feeding frame 201 by bolts. A limiting plate 205 is provided at the bottom of the second adjustable bracket 204 by bolts. The first and second adjustable brackets can change the height and lateral position of the limiting plate, which can effectively limit the patch to the inside of the feeding frame, thereby facilitating the suction nozzle to pick up and place the patch.

[0029] The conveying mechanism 3 is installed on one side of the housing 101 in the pick-and-place mechanism 1. The conveying mechanism 3 includes a conveying frame 301. Rollers 302 are symmetrically rotated on one side inside the conveying frame 301. A conveyor belt 303 is driven between the two rollers 302. The rollers 302 are fixedly installed at the output end of the second motor 304 to realize the conveying of the mounted components.

[0030] Example 1: The first motor 112 is fixedly mounted on one side of the support base 102 to ensure the stability of the motor during operation. The suction nozzle 113 is threadedly fixed to the second rotating shaft 108 by bolts. The position of the suction nozzle can be changed by adjusting the bolts.

[0031] Example 2: The limiting rod 202 is fixedly installed inside the feeding frame 201 near the feeding port, which can limit the patch during the feeding process. The second motor 304 is fixedly installed on the outside of the conveying frame 301.

[0032] Working principle: The device mainly includes a pickup and placement mechanism 1, a feeding mechanism 2, and a conveying mechanism 3. The first motor 112 in the pickup and placement mechanism 1 is fixed to one side of the support base 102, driving the first rotating shaft 103 to rotate, which in turn drives the tripod 105 fixed to its end to rotate. Simultaneously, the transmission components (including the first transmission wheel 104, the second transmission wheel 109, and the third transmission wheel 110) rotate synchronously via the transmission belt 111, realizing the circumferential rotation of the suction nozzle 113. The suction nozzle 113 is threadedly fixed to the second rotating shaft 108 with bolts, and its position can be adjusted to accommodate different patches. The limiting rod 202 in the feeding mechanism 2 is fixed inside the feeding frame 201 near the feeding port. The limiting plate 2 is adjusted by the first adjustable bracket 203 and the second adjustable bracket 204. The height and lateral position of the 05 ensure that the patch is accurately positioned inside the feeding frame, facilitating the suction nozzle 113 to pick it up. The conveying mechanism 3 is installed on one side of the housing 101 and includes a conveying frame 301, rollers 302 and a conveyor belt 303. The rollers 302 are driven by a second motor 304 and the conveyor belt 303 transports the mounted components to the next process. The second motor 304 is fixed to the outside of the conveying frame 301 to ensure the stability of the conveying process. The patch is positioned by the limiting component in the feeding mechanism 2. After the suction nozzle 113 of the pick-and-place mechanism 1 picks up the patch, the circumferential rotation and pick-and-place movement of the patch are realized through the coordinated action of the transmission components. Finally, the mounted components are transported by the conveying mechanism 3. The whole process simplifies the operation and improves the pick-and-place efficiency and accuracy.

Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
