[0027] To make the technical problem to be solved, the technical solution, and the beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. This drawing is a simplified schematic diagram, illustrating only the basic aspects of the present utility model, and therefore only shows the components relevant to the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some, not all, of the embodiments of this utility model. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.
[0028] Please refer to Figure 1 This utility model provides a PCB board electrical testing device 100, including a clamping assembly 10, a feeding module 30, a first unloading module 40, a second unloading module 50, and a waste bin 60, as well as a housing 80 for carrying various components (only a portion of the housing 80 is shown in the figure). The first unloading module 40 is used to transport qualified parts to the next process. The second unloading module 50 is used to transport NG parts to the waste bin 60.
[0029] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3The clamping assembly 10 includes a robotic arm 11 and an adsorption component 12 disposed at the output end of the robotic arm 11. The robotic arm 11 drives the adsorption component 12 to move the PCB board 200. Multiple test components 20 are arranged around the periphery of the robotic arm 11. It can be understood that the loading module 30, the first unloading module 40, the second unloading module 50, the waste bin 60, and each test component 20 are all within the running trajectory of the robotic arm 11, so as to facilitate the transfer of multiple PCB boards 200 by the robotic arm 11.
[0030] Please refer to Figure 3 The adsorption component 12 includes a support plate 121 fixedly connected to the output end of the robot arm 11, and two adsorption plates 122 connected to the support plate 121. Vacuum adsorption heads 123 are connected to the adsorption plates 122. The robot arm 11 drives the vacuum adsorption heads 123 to move and drives the two adsorption plates 122 to rotate. Specifically, in this embodiment, the robot arm 11 is a SCARA (Selective Compliant Assembly Robot Arm) as described in the prior art. The robot arm 11 drives the support plate 121 to rotate to achieve switching between the two adsorption plates 122, and drives the support plate 121 to rise and fall to complete the adsorption of the PCB board 200. By setting two adsorption plates 122, the number of PCB boards 200 adsorbed by the robot arm 11 in a single operation is increased, thereby improving the transportation efficiency of the robot arm 11.
[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 The loading module 30 is used to transport the PCB board 200 to the corresponding position of the robotic arm 11. Further, the loading module 30 includes a first belt conveyor mechanism 31 and a second belt conveyor mechanism 32 arranged opposite to each other, and a ball screw 33. The ball screw 33 is connected to an adjusting motor 34, and the ball screw 33 and the first belt conveyor mechanism 31 are threadedly connected. The adjusting motor 34 is used to drive the first belt conveyor mechanism 31 to move. Specifically, the ball screw 33 passes through the main body of the second belt conveyor mechanism 32 and is rotatably connected to the main body of the second belt conveyor mechanism 32. The ball screw 33 and the main body of the first belt conveyor mechanism 31 are threadedly connected, and the drive mechanisms of the first belt conveyor mechanism 31 and the second belt conveyor mechanism 32 rotate synchronously. The first belt conveyor mechanism 31 and the second belt conveyor mechanism 32 are both existing technologies, and their specific structures are not described in detail in this embodiment.
[0032] When it is necessary to adjust the spacing between the first belt transmission mechanism 31 and the second belt transmission mechanism 32, the adjustment motor 34 is started, causing the ball screw 33 to rotate and drive the first belt transmission mechanism 31 to move closer to or further away from the second belt transmission mechanism 32, so that the spacing between the first belt transmission mechanism 31 and the second belt transmission mechanism 32 is adapted to the size of the PCB board 200.
[0033] Please refer to Figure 1, Figure 4 and Figure 5 Specifically, in this embodiment, the structure of the first unloading module 40 and the structure of the second unloading module 50 are the same as those of the loading module 30 described in the above embodiment. The difference is that the loading module 30 also includes a lifting cylinder 35 disposed between the first belt conveyor mechanism 31 and the second belt conveyor mechanism 32. The output end of the lifting cylinder 35 is fixedly connected to a lifting plate 36, and the lifting plate 36 is fixedly connected to a pushing cylinder 37. The output end of the pushing cylinder 37 is connected to a pushing frame 38, and the pushing frame 38 is connected to a pushing block 39. The lifting cylinder 35 is used to drive the pushing block 39 to rise and fall to correspond with the PCB board 200, and the pushing cylinder 37 is used to drive the pushing block 39 to push the PCB board 200 to move.
[0034] Please refer to Figure 5 A slide rail 381 is fixedly connected to the pusher 38, and the pusher block 39 is slidably mounted on the slide rail 381. The feeding module 30 also includes a telescopic spring 382, one end of which is fixedly connected to the pusher block 39, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the pusher 38. Through the arrangement of the slide rail 381 and the telescopic spring 382, when the pusher cylinder 37 drives the pusher block 39 to push the PCB board 200, the telescopic spring 382 is compressed. The elastic force of the telescopic spring 382 offsets part of the pushing force of the pusher block 39 on the PCB board 200, thereby reducing the possibility of damage to the PCB board 200 due to excessive pushing force from the pusher block 39.
[0035] Please refer to Figure 2 The end of the second unloading module 50 in the conveying direction corresponds to the waste bin 60. The waste bin 60 is connected to an unloading cylinder 61, which is used to drive the waste bin 60 to lift. Specifically, the unloading cylinder 61 is fixedly connected to the housing 80, and the output end of the unloading cylinder 61 is fixedly connected to the waste bin 60.
[0036] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The test assembly 20 includes a frame 21, and a drive cylinder 22 and a first lifting cylinder 23 mounted on the frame 21. The output end of the drive cylinder 22 is connected to a carrier plate 221, which is used to place the PCB board 200. The output end of the first lifting cylinder 23 is provided with a lifting frame 231, which is connected to a carrier plate 232. The carrier plate 232 is provided with a plurality of test probes 2321. The drive cylinder 22 is used to drive the PCB board 200 to move to correspond with the test probes 2321, and the first lifting cylinder 23 is used to drive the test probes 2321 to move to contact the PCB board 200 and perform testing.
[0037] Please refer to Figure 8The lifting frame 231 is equipped with a pressing cylinder 26, the output end of which is connected to a pressure block 261. The pressing cylinder 26 drives the pressure block 261 to press down on the PCB board 200. The carrier board 232 is provided with a through slot (not labeled in the figure) for the pressure block 261 to pass through. When the first lifting cylinder 23 drives the test probe 2321 to descend and contact the PCB board 200, the pressing cylinder 26 drives the pressure block 261 to descend and press down on the PCB board 200, making it difficult for the PCB board 200 to move during testing and affect the test.
[0038] The pressure block 261 is equipped with a counterweight 262. By setting the counterweight 262, the pressure of the pressure block 261 on the PCB is increased, making the PCB board 200 less likely to move during testing and affect the test.
[0039] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The test assembly 20 also includes a drive module 24 and a test probe 25 connected to the output of the drive module 24. The test probe 2321 and the test probe 25 are located at opposite ends of the thickness direction of the PCB board 200. The drive module 24 is used to drive the test probe 25 to contact the PCB board 200 for testing. By setting the test probe 2321 and the test probe 25 at opposite ends of the thickness direction of the PCB board 200, when testing both sides of the PCB, the first lifting cylinder 23 and the drive module 24 drive the test probe 2321 and the test probe 25 to contact the PCB board 200 for testing. Compared with the prior art, which uses a step-by-step testing method after flipping the PCB board 200, the technical solution adopted by this utility model can simultaneously test the PCB board 200 with components and circuits on both sides, thus improving testing efficiency.
[0040] Please refer to Figure 9 Specifically, in this embodiment, the drive module 24 includes a first belt conveyor mechanism 241 and a second belt conveyor mechanism 242 connected to the output end of the first belt conveyor mechanism 241. A second lifting cylinder 243 is connected to the output end of the second belt conveyor mechanism 242. The output end of the second lifting cylinder 243 is provided with a mounting plate 2431 for supporting the test probe 25. The second lifting cylinder 243 is used to drive the test probe 25 to rise and fall. The first belt conveyor mechanism 241 is arranged along the length direction of the frame 21, the second belt conveyor mechanism 242 is arranged along the width direction of the frame 21, and the second lifting cylinder 243 is arranged along the height direction of the frame 21.
[0041] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3The housing 80 is equipped with multiple positioning rods 81 and positioning cylinders 82. The output end of each positioning cylinder 82 has a positioning block 821. Two positioning rods 81 and two positioning cylinders 82 form a group. The two positioning rods 81 are connected sequentially at a 90-degree angle. The positioning cylinder 82 drives the positioning block 821 and the positioning rods 81 to form a three-sided limit, thereby positioning each test component 20. A handle 211 is connected to the frame 21. When the frame 21 is placed on the housing 80, the handle 211 is located at the notch in the space formed by the positioning block 821 and the positioning rods 81, so that when replacing the test component 20, the handle 211 can be pulled directly to pull the test component 20 out of the space formed by the positioning block 821 and the positioning rods 81.
[0042] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The PCB board electrical testing equipment 100 also includes a barcode scanner 70, which is mounted on the loading module 30 and is used to identify the PCB board 200. Specifically, in this embodiment, the barcode scanner 70 is located at the starting point of the loading module 30.
