Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of pick and place machine technology, specifically a calibration component for a pick and place machine. Background Technology
[0002] A common calibration component for pick-and-place machines is the vision calibration system. Using cameras and image processing technology, it identifies and calibrates the precise positions of the PCB board and components. Calibration components for pick-and-place machines are primarily used to ensure the accuracy and stability of the equipment during high-speed component placement. By identifying calibration points, the vision calibration system ensures that the placement head accurately places the components in the predetermined positions, improving placement accuracy and efficiency while reducing errors.
[0003] Before performing surface mount technology (SMT) on a PCB board, a calibration component for a surface mount machine, as disclosed in CN222674839U, can be used. This application uses a laser emitter located below an air shaft and a photoelectric sensor on the suction head that cooperates with a through hole to adjust the initial position of the substrate, thus quickly adjusting the substrate position. After adjusting the substrate, the surface mount operation needs to be performed. Since surface mount requires high precision, the substrate position is prone to shifting back and forth during the surface mount process, which can easily affect the accuracy of surface mount and cause result deviation.
[0004] In summary, we provide a calibration component for a pick-and-place machine. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a calibration component for a pick-and-place machine to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0007] A calibration assembly for a pick and place machine includes a conveyor belt and retainers on both sides of the conveyor belt. A base plate is disposed in the middle of the retainer. The lower part of the base plate contacts the conveyor belt. Positioning holes are provided at the four corners of the top of the base plate. A cylinder is disposed below the positioning hole and corresponding to the position of the positioning hole. One side of the cylinder is fixed to the bottom of the retainer by a mounting bracket.

A photoelectric sensor that cooperates with a laser emitter is fixed to one side of the suction head by bolts, and an attenuator is provided at the receiving end of the photoelectric sensor.
[0010] Preferably, each of the two retainers on both sides of the conveyor belt has a movable groove in the middle. A first pressure plate and a second pressure plate are respectively installed inside the movable grooves on both sides. Two fixed slide rods are symmetrically inserted on both sides of the first pressure plate and the second pressure plate. Both ends of the fixed slide rods are fixedly connected to the retainer.
[0011] Preferably, a first lead screw and a second lead screw are respectively passed through the middle part of the first pressure plate and the second pressure plate. A second bevel gear and a fourth bevel gear are respectively fixed at the bottom end of the first lead screw and the second lead screw.

[0023] The technical solutions of the present utility model 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 utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0024] like Figure 1-5 As shown, a calibration assembly for a pick and place machine includes a conveyor belt 1 and a retainer 2 located on both sides of the conveyor belt 1. A substrate 3 is disposed in the middle of the retainer 2. The lower part of the substrate 3 contacts the conveyor belt 1. Positioning holes 4 are provided at the four corners of the top of the substrate 3. A cylinder 10 is disposed below the positioning hole 4 corresponding to the position of the positioning hole 4. One side of the cylinder 10 is fixed to the bottom of the retainer 2 by a mounting bracket 9.
[0025] like Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, a laser emitter 11 is provided on the top of the cylinder 10, and an air shaft 12 is provided on the top of the laser emitter 11. The periphery of the air shaft 12 abuts against the positioning hole 4, and a through hole 13 is provided at the axis of the air shaft 12.
[0026] A guide rail 5 is provided on the top of one side of the retainer 2. A suction head 6 is slidably connected to the guide rail 5. A photoelectric sensor 7 that cooperates with the laser emitter 11 is fixed to one side of the suction head 6 by bolts. An attenuator 8 is provided at the receiving end of the photoelectric sensor 7.
[0027] In this embodiment, the substrate 3 is placed in the middle of the holder 2. The suction head 6 can be moved by the guide rail 5 on one side of the suction head 6. The cylinder 10 at the bottom of the substrate 3 is opened. The cylinder 10 pushes the air shaft 12 into the interior of the positioning hole 4. The air shaft 12 pushes the movable blocks on both sides to contact the inner side of the positioning hole 4, so that the axis of the through hole 13 coincides with that of the positioning hole 4. The laser of the laser emitter 11 is emitted through the through hole 13 and the positioning hole 4 and cooperates with the photoelectric sensor 7 on one side of the suction head 6. The light from the laser emitter 11 is reduced by the attenuation plate 8 set at the receiving end of the photoelectric sensor 7, thereby reducing the amount of light entering the laser emitter 11. On the one hand, it can avoid the influence of weak natural light on the device, and on the other hand, it can reduce the influence of the laser beam on the photoelectric sensor 7. When the laser beam through the through hole 13 cannot pass through the attenuation plate 8 to enter the receiving end of the photoelectric sensor 7, it proves that there is a deviation in the position of the substrate 3, and the conveyor belt 1 needs to be adjusted.
[0028] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, movable slots 14 are provided in the middle of the retainers 2 on both sides of the conveyor belt 1. A first pressure plate 15 and a second pressure plate 16 are respectively provided inside the movable slots 14 on both sides. Two fixed slide rods 27 are symmetrically passed through both sides of the first pressure plate 15 and the second pressure plate 16. Both ends of the fixed slide rods 27 are fixedly connected to the retainer 2.
[0029] The first pressure plate 15 and the second pressure plate 16 are respectively provided with a first lead screw 22 and a second lead screw 26 in the middle part. The bottom ends of the first lead screw 22 and the second lead screw 26 are respectively fixed with a second bevel gear 21 and a fourth bevel gear 25. A first bevel gear 20 and a third bevel gear 24 are respectively provided on one side of the second bevel gear 21 and the fourth bevel gear 25. The second bevel gear 21 and the fourth bevel gear 25 mesh with the first bevel gear 20 and the third bevel gear 24 respectively.
[0030] The first bevel gear 20 is fixedly connected to the third bevel gear 24 via the drive shaft 23. One end of the drive shaft 23 passes through the retainer 2 and is fixed with the second gear 19. The bottom of the second gear 19 is provided with the first gear 18, and the first gear 18 meshes with the second gear 19.
[0031] One side of the first bevel gear 20 is fixedly connected to the drive motor 17, and the drive motor 17 is fixed to the bottom of the retainer 2 on one side of the conveyor belt 1 by bolts.
[0032] In this embodiment, the drive motor 17 is turned on, which drives the first gear 18 to rotate. The rotation of the first gear 18 drives the second gear 19 to rotate, which in turn drives the transmission shaft 23 to rotate. The rotation of the transmission shaft 23 drives the first bevel gear 20 and the third bevel gear 24 to rotate. The rotation of the first bevel gear 20 and the third bevel gear 24 drives the second bevel gear 21 and the fourth bevel gear 25 to rotate, respectively. The rotation of the second bevel gear 21 and the fourth bevel gear 25 drives the first lead screw 22 and the second lead screw 26 to rotate, respectively. The rotation of the first lead screw 22 and the second lead screw 26 drives the first pressure plate 15 and the second pressure plate 16 to move up and down through the fixed slide bar 27 to clamp and fix the PLC board to be patched, so as to prevent the PLC board from moving during the patching process and causing the patching result to be offset.
[0033] In summary, the working principle is as follows:
[0034] First, a calibration component for a pick-and-place machine, as disclosed in CN222674839U, is used. This application uses a laser emitter below an air shaft and a photoelectric sensor on the pick-and-place head that mates with a through-hole to adjust the initial position of the substrate, achieving quick substrate position adjustment. However, when using this method for pick-and-place operations, the substrate position is prone to back-and-forth movement, which can affect placement accuracy. Therefore, the drive motor 17 is activated, which drives the first gear 18 to rotate. The rotation of the first gear 18 drives the second gear 19 to rotate, and the rotation of the second gear 19 drives the transmission shaft 23. The rotation of the drive shaft 23 drives the first bevel gear 20 and the third bevel gear 24 to rotate. The rotation of the first bevel gear 20 and the third bevel gear 24 drives the second bevel gear 21 and the fourth bevel gear 25 to rotate. The rotation of the second bevel gear 21 and the fourth bevel gear 25 drives the first lead screw 22 and the second lead screw 26 to rotate. The rotation of the first lead screw 22 and the second lead screw 26 drives the first pressure plate 15 and the second pressure plate 16 to move up and down through the fixed slide rod 27 to clamp and fix the PLC board that needs to be patched, so as to prevent the PLC board from moving during the patching process and causing the patching result to be offset.
