Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circuit board production equipment technology, and more specifically, to a component for separating and conveying scrap materials from a PCB depaneling machine. Background Technology

[0002] After the circuit board is manufactured, multiple modules can be designed on the circuit board according to the customer's requirements. Then these modules are cut off from the circuit board. At this time, equipment such as a board splitter is needed to cut out the shape required by the customer.

[0003] The existing PCB depaneling machine structure, as shown in the patent document CN202410448073.0 entitled "A PCB Depaneling Machine and a Method for Depaneling Circuit Boards," includes a pair of working bases. A groove for placing a circuit board is provided on the inner side of each base. A rotating base 101 is located in the middle of the working base 1, rotatably connected to the working base 1. The rotating base 101 also has a groove on its inner side. The circuit board is pushed into the rotating base 101, and after adjusting the rotating base 101, the middle part of the circuit board is broken off, thus achieving the depaneling process. A collecting device 7 is provided below the rotating base 101, and a portion of the broken circuit board falls into the collecting device 7 for unified collection. A clamp 701 is provided to clamp the remaining portion of the circuit board in the groove and transfer it. A conveying platform 2 is provided, and the portion clamped by the clamp 701 is transferred to the conveying platform 2, thereby classifying circuit boards of different sizes.

[0004] However, the aforementioned depaneling machine can only cut circuit boards in a straight line. When the products to be cut on the circuit board are relatively fragmented, or even when scraps are generated after cutting, the depaneling machine does not have suitable conveying components and cannot meet the needs of automated production.

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to design a conveyor assembly that can be integrated into the depaneling machine to quickly separate scraps after circuit board cutting and deliver the cut circuit products. Utility Model Content

[0006] To address the lack of conveying components in the market for depaneling machines that can quickly separate scrap materials after circuit board cutting and deliver the cut circuit products, we provide a scrap material separation and conveying component for depaneling machines.

[0007] The PCB depaneling machine's scrap material separation and conveying assembly includes a gripping arm and a telescopic conveyor belt. The gripping arm is equipped with vertically downward-facing product gripping components and scrap material gripping components. The telescopic conveyor belt is located below the gripping arm, and front and rear push rods are connected to the sides of the telescopic conveyor belt. A scrap material collection trough is provided at the bottom front end of the telescopic conveyor belt.

[0008] Furthermore, the telescopic conveyor belt is slidably connected to front and rear slide rails on both the left and right sides below it, and the scrap collection trough is located below the front end of the front and rear slide rails.

[0009] Furthermore, the scrap collection trough includes a funnel guide trough, a hopper is installed at the bottom of the funnel guide trough, and swivel casters are installed at the bottom of the hopper.

[0010] Furthermore, the gripping arm includes a translation slide, a lifting slide, and a support platform. The lifting slide is installed on the translation slide, the support platform is installed on the lifting slide, the product gripping component and the scrap gripping component are both installed on the support platform, and the telescopic conveyor belt is located on the lower side of the end of the translation slide.

[0011] Furthermore, both the product gripping component and the scrap gripping component include a vacuum pump, an electrically controlled valve, and a vacuum suction cup with air circuit connection.

[0012] Furthermore, all the vacuum suction cups are disposed on the same plane.

[0013] The advantages of this utility model are:

[0014] 1. The conveyor belt and scrap collection trough are integrated below the gripping arm, resulting in a shorter circuit board output stroke, higher efficiency, smaller footprint, and convenient installation at the end of the PCB separator.

[0015] 2. It allows for easy connection to subsequent circuit board quality inspection and packaging equipment using a telescopic conveyor belt, eliminating the need for additional conveying mechanisms.

[0016] 3. The gripping function of circuit board products and scrap materials is integrated into a single gripping arm, resulting in high operating efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0027] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, this embodiment provides a slitting machine output scrap separation and conveying assembly, including a gripping arm 1 and a telescopic conveyor belt 2. The gripping arm 1 is equipped with a vertically downward product gripping component and a scrap gripping component. The telescopic conveyor belt 2 is located below the gripping arm 1. Front and rear push rods 3 are connected to the side of the telescopic conveyor belt 2. A scrap collection trough 4 is provided at the bottom of the front end of the telescopic conveyor belt 2.

[0028] Since the scrap collection trough 4 is integrated below the telescopic conveyor belt 2, and the gripping arm 1 is equipped with both product gripping components and scrap gripping components, after the depaneling machine cuts out the circuit board products and scrap:

[0029] 1. Using the gripping arm 1 of this embodiment, scrap materials can first be placed into the scrap material collection trough 4, and then the telescopic conveyor belt 2 can be moved horizontally above the scrap material collection trough 4;

[0030] 2. The gripping arm 1 places the product into the telescopic conveyor belt 2;

[0031] 3. The telescopic conveyor belt 2 extends forward to connect with the next equipment and transport the product to the next work station. At this time, the scrap collection trough 4 is exposed again, waiting to be put into the next batch of scrap.

[0032] IV. Repeat steps one through three.

[0033] The telescopic conveyor belt 2 is slidably connected to front and rear slide rails 201 on both its lower left and right sides, and the scrap collection trough 4 is located below the front end of the front and rear slide rails 201. The front and rear slide rails 201 can ensure the stability of the telescopic conveyor belt 2's forward and backward movement and prevent the telescopic conveyor belt 2 from swaying and deviating.

[0034] The scrap collection trough 4 includes a funnel guide trough 401, and a hopper 402 is installed at the bottom of the funnel guide trough 401. The bottom of the hopper 402 is equipped with casters 403. The hopper 402 with casters 403 facilitates the workers in pushing the hopper 402 out completely after a certain amount of scrap has been collected, thus improving work efficiency.

[0035] The gripping arm 1 includes a translation slide 101, a lifting slide 102, and a support platform 103. The lifting slide 102 is mounted on the translation slide 101, and the support platform 103 is mounted on the lifting slide 102. Both the product gripping component and the scrap gripping component are mounted on the support platform 103. The telescopic conveyor belt 2 is located at the lower end of the translation slide 101. The gripping arm 1, designed with the slide table, has strong positioning stability during translation and lifting, ensuring that the movement and positioning of the product gripping component and the scrap gripping component meet the accuracy requirements of the circuit board product.

[0036] Both the product gripping component and the scrap gripping component include a vacuum pump with an air passage, an electrically controlled valve 5, and a vacuum suction cup 6. Vacuum suction is a common component in this field. In this embodiment, the electrically controlled valves 5 corresponding to product gripping and scrap gripping can be controlled by an industrial control computer, thereby realizing the gripping and separation of products and scraps.

[0037] All vacuum suction cups 6 are mounted on the same plane. Since circuit boards are mostly planar, mounting the vacuum suction cups 6 of the product gripping component and the scrap gripping component on the same plane allows for the simultaneous gripping of both the product and scrap. Then, when the scrap collection trough 4 is below the gripping arm 1, the corresponding vacuum suction cup 6 is released via the electrically controlled valve 5, and the product is placed onto the telescopic conveyor belt 2, thus completing the separation and output of the product and scrap.

[0038] In actual use, the cutting mechanism of the PCB separator and the telescopic conveyor belt 2 can be set at both ends of the translation slide table 101. First, the PCB separator cuts the circuit board and scrap. Then, the vacuum suction cup 6 on the gripping arm 1 simultaneously removes the product and scrap. The vacuum suction cup 6 holding the product and scrap moves along the translation slide table 101 to above the telescopic conveyor belt 2 that exposes the scrap collection trough 4. Then, the vacuum suction cup 6 corresponding to the scrap is released, and the scrap is placed into the scrap collection trough 4. The telescopic conveyor belt 2 is pushed by the front and rear push rods 3 to move to above the scrap collection trough 4. The vacuum suction cup 6 corresponding to the product is released, and the product is placed on the telescopic conveyor belt 2. The front and rear push rods 3 are reset, and the telescopic conveyor belt 2 is extended forward to facilitate product output. At this time, the scrap collection trough 4 below the front end of the telescopic conveyor belt 2 is exposed again, waiting for the gripping arm 1 to put in the next batch of scrap.

[0039] The above description is a further detailed explanation of the present utility model in conjunction with specific preferred embodiments. It should not be assumed that the specific implementation of the present utility model is limited to these descriptions. All equivalent changes and modifications made within the scope of this application should still fall within the scope of the present utility model.
