Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of surface mount technology, and in particular to a modular magnetic positioning fixture. Background Technology
[0002] SMT is an assembly technology that uses automated equipment to precisely mount micro-electronic components onto the surface of a PCB. It has now widely replaced the traditional through-hole mounting technology (THT). Its core is that it eliminates the need to drill holes in the PCB. Instead, it uses solder paste to fix the components on the surface and then completes the soldering of the electronic components through processes such as high-temperature reflow soldering.
[0003] SMT carriers, also known as SMT fixtures, are key auxiliary equipment in SMT production. They are mainly used to support, fix, position, and transport circuit boards, such as PCBs or FPCs, during the electronic manufacturing process, thereby ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of component placement, soldering, and other processes. Their design must meet requirements such as high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, and high precision, and they are the key carriers connecting automated equipment and PCBs.
[0004] Based on this, Chinese patent document CN220476029U discloses an SMT tooling fixture, which includes: a base with multiple positioning posts on its upper surface; a carrier plate disposed above the base, with first positioning holes corresponding to the positioning posts; a first groove on the upper surface of the carrier plate, with multiple ventilation holes at the positions of the first groove, and multiple magnetic components on the carrier plate; and a pressure plate covering the carrier plate, with clearance holes for printed electronic components, and second positioning holes corresponding to the positioning posts, the second positioning holes being adapted to the positioning posts; the magnetic components are used to attract the pressure plate, so that the pressure plate and the carrier plate clamp the printed circuit board. By providing multiple ventilation holes on the carrier plate, heat dissipation of the printed circuit board is facilitated during the reflow oven process, preventing damage to the printed circuit board caused by local overheating, which helps to ensure product quality and improve product stability.
[0005] However, the SMT fixtures disclosed above still have technical problems that prevent their universal application. Specifically, in existing technologies, SMT fixtures mainly use precisely designed positioning pins, reference surfaces, and other structures to ensure the stable position of the PCB during printing, placement, and soldering processes, reducing placement errors caused by misalignment, such as the high precision requirement of ±0.01 mm. Therefore, SMT fixtures usually need to be designed differently depending on the PCB being mounted. Consequently, SMT manufacturers often use dozens or even hundreds of different specifications and models of SMT fixtures simultaneously. Furthermore, classifying and managing the large number of existing fixtures and applying them in a categorized manner is a challenging task. Utility Model Content

[0026] Please refer to the following: Figures 1 to 2This utility model discloses a modular magnetic positioning fixture comprising: a connecting frame 1, a lifting drive mechanism 2, a stabilizing lifting frame 3, a support frame 4, a plurality of pre-positioning magnet structures 5, and a plurality of electromagnet units 6; the lifting drive mechanism 2 is disposed in the connecting frame 1, the stabilizing lifting frame 3 is movably disposed on the connecting frame 1, and the lifting drive mechanism 2 is drivenly connected to the stabilizing lifting frame 3; the support frame 4 is disposed on the stabilizing lifting frame 3, the plurality of pre-positioning magnet structures 5 are evenly distributed in the support frame 4, and the plurality of electromagnet units 6 are evenly distributed in the support frame 4.
[0027] Specifically, when the modular magnetic positioning fixture of this invention is in operation, the operator can place the workpiece to be loaded and positioned, such as a circuit board with a magnetic base or a clamping fixture with a magnetic base, on the support frame 4. The pre-positioning magnet structure 5 provided on the support frame 4 pre-positions the workpiece. Since the pre-positioning magnet structure 5 has a preset magnetic strength, the workpiece can be initially magnetically attracted to the support frame 4. After the operator adjusts the workpiece to the required position, each electromagnet unit 6 is energized and generates a strong magnetic field to firmly attract the workpiece to the support frame 4. At this time, it is difficult to move the workpiece manually, thus the workpiece can be magnetically fixed on the support frame 4. In addition, the connecting bracket 1 can be connected to external equipment, such as a conveyor belt for transporting fixtures or a mounting bracket for SMT equipment. Moreover, the lifting drive mechanism 2 can also drive the stable lifting frame 3, thereby raising or lowering the support frame 4 to raise or lower the magnetically attracted workpiece. The pre-positioning magnet structure 5 and the electromagnet unit 6 provided by this utility model do not require matching and positioning through structures such as positioning pins. Therefore, it eliminates the need for pre-processing of positioning holes and other structures on the workpiece, making it easily adaptable and suitable for various workpieces of different specifications. Thus, this modular magnetic positioning fixture solves the technical problem of how to improve the universal design of positioning fixtures.
[0028] Furthermore, the lifting drive mechanism 2 includes a drive cylinder 201, a drive telescopic piston rod 202, and a connecting member 203; the drive cylinder 201 is connected to the connecting base 1, the drive cylinder 201 is drivenly connected to the drive telescopic piston rod 202, and the connecting member 203 connects the drive telescopic piston rod 202 and the stable lifting frame 3 respectively.
[0029] Specifically, the drive cylinder 201 can drive the drive telescopic piston rod 202 to extend or shorten, and then the drive telescopic piston rod 202 drives the connecting member 203 to raise or lower the stabilizing lifting frame 2 and the support platform 4.
[0030] Furthermore, the stabilizing lifting frame 3 has a plurality of guide sleeves 301, a plurality of guide rods 302, and a lifting platform 303. The plurality of guide sleeves 301 are evenly distributed on the connecting seat 1. Each guide rod 302 is correspondingly movably sleeved in a guide sleeve 301. Each guide rod 302 is correspondingly connected to the lower part of the lifting platform 303. The lifting platform 303 is connected to the lower part of the support platform 4. The connecting member 203 is respectively connected to one end of the drive telescopic piston rod 202 and the lifting platform 303.
[0031] Furthermore, each of the prepositioning magnet structures 5 is provided with a mounting collar 501 and an annular magnet 502; the mounting collar 501 is disposed in the support frame 4, and the annular magnet 502 is disposed in the mounting collar 501.
[0032] Furthermore, in another embodiment, the support frame 4 is provided with a plurality of positioning connecting rods 401; the plurality of positioning connecting rods 401 are distributed and arranged on the support frame 4. In addition, a magnetic connecting cover plate 7 is provided on the support frame 4, the magnetic connecting cover plate 7 is movably disposed relative to the support frame 4, and each positioning connecting rod 401 connects the support frame 4 and the magnetic connecting cover plate 7 respectively. Specifically, in this embodiment, the magnetic connecting cover plate 7 can be made of magnetic materials such as iron. When some workpieces are placed on the support frame 4, the magnetic connecting cover plate can be placed on the workpieces, and the pre-positioning magnet structure 5 and the electromagnet unit 6 can clamp and position the workpieces, thereby improving the versatility of the magnetic positioning fixture.
[0033] In summary, this utility model provides a modular magnetic positioning fixture comprising a connecting frame 1, a lifting drive mechanism 2, a stabilizing lifting frame 3, a support frame 4, several pre-positioning magnet structures 5, and several electromagnet units 6. The lifting drive mechanism 2 is housed within the connecting frame 1, and the stabilizing lifting frame 3 is movably mounted on the connecting frame 1, with the lifting drive mechanism 2 and the stabilizing lifting frame 3 being drively connected. The support frame 4 is mounted on the stabilizing lifting frame 3, and several pre-positioning magnet structures 5 and several electromagnet units 6 are evenly distributed within the support frame 4. The pre-positioning magnet structures 5 and electromagnet units 6 provided by this utility model do not require matching and positioning through positioning pins or other structures. Therefore, it eliminates the need for pre-processing positioning holes or other structures on the workpiece, making it easily versatile and adaptable to various workpiece specifications. Thus, this utility model's modular magnetic positioning fixture solves the technical problem of how to improve the versatility of positioning fixture design.

For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described.
