It will be explicitly and implicitly understood by those skilled in the art that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0036] This application provides an injection molded card holder tray device, including: a base 1, a support frame 3 connected to the top of the base 1, a top plate 301 installed on the top of the support frame 3, a vibrating plate 102 provided on the top of the base 1, an mounting plate 6 provided on one side of the support frame 3, a vibration assembly disposed between the base 1 and the vibrating plate 102, the vibration assembly including: a vibration seat 101, a spring 103, a motor 104 and a vibration wheel 105; and a control assembly disposed between the top plate 301 and the mounting plate 6, the control assembly including: a camera 401, a control box 403, a fixing block 5, a servo motor 502 and a transmission rod 508.

[0037] By setting up the vibration component, scattered injection molded card trays can be vibrated and leveled, and the injection molded card trays can be vibrated and flipped so that a specific side of the injection molded card tray is facing upwards to facilitate subsequent gripping operations. Secondly, the camera 401 takes pictures of the vibrating plate 102 to assist the control component in controlling the movement position of the suction nozzle 403, so that the suction nozzle 403 can accurately grip the injection molded card tray with the specific side facing upwards, achieving a visual positioning effect, thereby realizing the rapid and accurate placement of the card trays.

[0038] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present invention, the technical solutions of the present invention 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 invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of the present invention.

[0039] Embodiment 1 of the injection molded card tray placement device of this application

[0040] This application includes an injection molded card tray placement device, comprising: a base 1, a support frame 3 connected to the top of the base 1, a top plate 301 mounted on the top of the support frame 3, a vibrating plate 102 provided on the top of the base 1, an mounting plate 6 provided on one side of the support frame 3, a vibration component disposed between the base 1 and the vibrating plate 102, the vibration component comprising: a vibration seat 101, a spring 103, a motor 104 and a vibration wheel 105; and a control component disposed between the top plate 301 and the mounting plate 6, the control component comprising: a camera 401, a control box 403, a fixing block 5, a servo motor 502 and a transmission rod 508.

[0041] The scattered injection molded card holders are vibrated and leveled by the vibration component, and a specific side of the injection molded card holders is made to face upwards. The camera 401 takes a picture of the vibrating plate 102 to assist the suction nozzle 403 in the control component to accurately grab the injection molded card holders with the specific side facing upwards, thereby achieving the effect of visual positioning and realizing the rapid and accurate placement of the card holders.

[0042] Example 2

[0043] Based on Embodiment 1, a vibrating seat 101 is installed on the top of the base 1. The top of the vibrating seat 101 is open. Multiple springs 103 are connected inside the vibrating seat 101, and the top of the springs 103 are connected to the vibrating plate 102. A motor 104 is installed inside the vibrating seat 101. The drive shaft of the motor 104 drives and connects to a vibrating wheel 105. The outer surface of the vibrating wheel 105 is in close contact with the bottom of the vibrating plate 102. A collection frame 2 is provided on one side of the support frame 3. A discharge frame 201 is fixedly connected to one side of the collection frame 2. A conveyor belt is provided inside the discharge frame 201. The discharge frame 201 is located above the vibrating plate 102.

[0044] The processed injection molded card tray is transported to the vibratory plate 102 by the conveyor belt in the collection box 2 discharge box 201, and the injection molded card tray is dropped into the vibratory plate 102 so that the subsequent control component can pick up the injection molded card tray through the suction nozzle 603 for tray placement.

[0045] During the tray placement process, it is necessary to ensure that the same side of each injection molded card holder faces upwards. However, when the injection molded card holders fall onto the vibratory plate 102, both the front and back sides of multiple injection molded card holders on the vibratory plate 102 face upwards, which is not conducive to the tray placement process. At this time, it is necessary to make specific sides of multiple injection molded card holders face upwards. The controller in the control box 403 controls the start of the motor 104, which drives the vibratory wheel 105 to rotate rapidly. At this time, the protruding part of the vibratory wheel 105 continuously lifts the vibratory plate 102, and the vibratory plate 102 rebounds under the action of the spring force of the spring 103, thereby realizing the rapid vibration of the vibratory plate 102. This causes the injection molded card holders in the vibratory plate 102 to flip under the external force of vibration, which helps to carry out the tray placement process.

[0046] Example 3

[0047] Based on Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2, an equipment box 4 is installed on the top of the top plate 301, a control box 403 is installed on the top of the top plate 301, a radiator 402 is installed on the top of the control box 403, a camera 401 is installed at the bottom of the top plate 301, and the lens of the camera 401 is aimed at the vibrating plate 102. A card holder is placed on one side of the vibrating plate 102.

[0048] When placing the injection molded card tray, the camera 401 captures the image of the vibrating plate 102 and transmits the image to the controller in the control box 403 and the external display screen. At this time, the correct injection molded card tray can be determined based on the front and back of the injection molded card tray in the captured image, and the suction nozzle 603 on the mounting plate 6 is controlled to grab and move the injection molded card tray to the card tray carrier on one side of the device.

[0049] After all the correctly oriented injection molded card holders have been grasped, the motor 104 can be restarted to start the vibrating wheel 105 to vibrate the vibrating plate 102 again. Then, the camera 401 will take another picture of the injection molded card holders on the vibrating plate 102. The position and number of injection molded card holders to be grasped will be determined by the front and back of the injection molded card holders in the picture. The suction nozzle 603 on the mounting plate 6 will be controlled to grasp them. The above actions are repeated until all the injection molded card holders on the vibrating plate 102 are grasped and the plate is arranged.

[0050] Furthermore, a fixing block 5 is installed at the bottom of the top plate 301, and the fixing block 5 is arranged in a three-wing prism structure. A fixing plate 501 is fixedly installed on one side of each wing of the fixing block 5. A gearbox is fixedly installed on one side of the fixing plate 501, and a servo motor 502 is fixedly installed on one side of the gearbox. The output shaft of the gearbox is rotatably connected to a rotating disk 503, and the rotating disk 503 is located on the other side of the wing of the fixing plate 501. A rotating frame 504 is connected to the outside of the rotating disk 503. A rotating sleeve 505 is connected to the bottom of one end of the rotating frame 504. Inside the rotating sleeve 505, a first connecting rod 506 is rotatably connected via bearings, and both ends of the first connecting rod 506 protrude from the outer surface of the rotating sleeve 505. Three connecting sleeves 601 are fixedly connected to the outside of the mounting plate 6, and a second connecting rod 509 is rotatably connected inside the connecting sleeve 601 via bearings. A transmission rod 508 is provided between the two ends of the first connecting rod 506 and the two ends of the second connecting rod 509. Rotating rods 507 are connected to both ends of the transmission rod 508, and the rotating rods 507 are rotatably connected to the first connecting rod 506 and the second connecting rod 509 respectively.

[0051] When the mounting plate 6 is moved, the rotation of the servo motor 502 is controlled by the control box 403. The servo motor 502 is a type of electric motor that can precisely control position, speed, and acceleration. It can control the rotation angle of the three servo motors 502 according to the position of the injection molded card holder to be picked up, thereby controlling the rotation angle of the rotating disk 503. When the rotating disk 503 rotates, it drives the rotating frame 504 to rotate. Then, during the rotation of the rotating frame 504, the rotating sleeve 505 and the first connecting rod 506 drive the first connecting rod 506 to move, so that the first connecting rod 506 can drive one end of the transmission rod 508 to move. In turn, the other end of the transmission rod 508 drives the mounting plate 6 through the second connecting rod 509 and the connecting sleeve 601. The movement is controlled by rotating three servo motors 502, which causes the three rotating frames 504 to rotate at different angles. This controls the multi-directional movement of the mounting block 602. For example, when the three rotating frames 504 rotate downwards synchronously, the rotating frames 504 can drive the mounting plate 6 and the connecting sleeve 601 to move downwards through the rotating sleeve 505, the first connecting rod 506, the rotating rod 507, the transmission rod 508, and the second connecting rod 509. By controlling the rotation angle of one rotating frame 504 to be greater than that of the other two rotating frames 504, the mounting plate 6 can be controlled to move away from the rotating frame 504 with the larger rotation angle. This allows the movement path of the mounting block 602 to completely cover the vibratory plate 102, so as to grasp the injection molded card holders at various points on the vibratory plate 102.

[0052] The mounting plate 6 has a mounting block 602 connected to its bottom, a suction nozzle 603 fixedly mounted on the bottom of the mounting block 602, and an air pipe connector 604 connected to the top of the mounting plate 6, with the air pipe connector 604 connected to the suction nozzle 603.

[0053] The air pipe is connected to an external air pump via the air pipe connector 604. When the mounting plate 6 is moved above the injection molded card holder to be gripped and the suction nozzle 603 is pressed tightly against the injection molded card holder, air is drawn by the external air pump, causing the air pressure inside the suction nozzle 603 to drop, thereby picking up the injection molded card holder. After the injection molded card holder is placed in the designated position, the air is drawn off, allowing the air pressure inside the suction nozzle 603 to return to normal, and the injection molded card holder is put down.
