[0021] This application provides an integrated electronic component feeder, effectively solving the technical problem that in existing electronic component transfer processes, in order to ensure stable transport of electronic components, clamps are generally used to hold and transport them. Adjusting the clamps is time-consuming, and the clamping may damage the surface of the electronic components, affecting the subsequent processing quality. This device, by setting up a vacuum generator 4 and a mounting frame 3 in conjunction, allows for the fixed transport of electronic components by activating the vacuum generator 4 to create a negative pressure at the rubber suction cup 31 to adsorb the electronic components. The operation is simple, eliminating the need for repeated clamp adjustments and improving the efficiency of electronic component feeding and transport.

[0022] Example

[0023] The technical solution in this application embodiment is to effectively solve the technical problem that in the existing electronic component transfer process, in order to ensure the stable transport of electronic components, the electronic components are generally clamped and transported by a fixture. Adjusting the fixture is time-consuming, and the clamping of the fixture may damage the surface of the electronic components, resulting in a technical problem that affects the subsequent processing quality. The overall idea is as follows: an integrated electronic component feeder, including a transfer bracket 1, a fixing mechanism for fixing electronic components on the transfer bracket 1, the fixing mechanism including a C-shaped support plate 2, a mounting frame 3 and a vacuum generator 4, and multiple C-shaped support plates 2, mounting frames 3 and vacuum generators 4. Each mounting frame 3 is fixedly installed on the upper end of the C-shaped support plate 2, and each vacuum generator 4 is fixedly installed on the side end of the C-shaped support plate 2. The transfer bracket 1 is provided with a transfer chain plate 11. When the user is transferring and feeding electronic components, the user can start the bracket on the transfer bracket 1. The start of the bracket on the transfer bracket 1 will drive the transfer chain plate 11 to start rotating, and the start of the rotation of the transfer chain plate 11 will drive each C-shaped support plate 2 to rotate.

[0024] Each C-shaped support plate 2 has a mounting shaft 21 fixedly installed at its lower end. Each mounting shaft 21 is fixedly installed at the end of the transmission chain plate 11. Each mounting frame 3 has a rubber suction cup 31 fixedly installed through its upper end. When the user is transferring electronic components, the electronic components can be placed on the mounting frame 3 and the center position aligned with the rubber suction cup 31.

[0025] Each mounting frame 3 has a mounting groove 32 through its side end. The rubber suction cup 31 is conical. The side end of the vacuum generator 4 is fixedly installed with a gas guide pipe 41. The end of the gas guide pipe 41 is fixedly installed through the inner wall of the mounting groove 32. When the vacuum generator 4 is started, it will draw air through the gas guide pipe 41. The gas guide pipe 41 draws air in the mounting groove 32. At this time, the rubber suction cup 31 in the mounting frame 3 is in a negative pressure state, which will attract the electronic components and thus ensure the stability of the electronic components when transferring and feeding them.

[0026] When the electronic components are moved to the processing area by the mounting frame 3 on the conveyor belt 11, the workers in the processing area can use the vacuum generator 4 to release gas and remove the electronic components from the mounting frame 3.

[0027] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this utility model provides an integrated electronic component feeder. This device is equipped with a vacuum generator 4 and a mounting frame 3 working together. When fixing and transporting electronic components, the vacuum generator 4 is activated to draw air, so that a negative pressure is formed at the rubber suction cup 31 to adsorb the electronic components. The operation is simple and does not require repeated adjustment of the clamps, thus saving efficiency in the feeding and conveying of electronic components.

[0028] Transmission bracket 1: It is the basic support structure of the feeder, and a bracket is provided on it to drive the transmission chain plate 11 to rotate, providing a power transmission basis for the transfer and feeding of electronic components.

[0029] The transmission chain plate 11 rotates under the drive of the transmission bracket 1, which drives the C-shaped support plate 2 fixed on it to move, thereby realizing the transfer and transportation of electronic components.

[0030] C-shaped support plate 2: The lower end is fixed to the end of the transmission chain plate 11 via the mounting shaft 21. It is used to support the mounting frame 3 and the vacuum generator 4, and drives the electronic components to move as the transmission chain plate 11 rotates.

[0031] Mounting shaft 21: As a connecting component, it securely mounts the C-shaped support plate 2 to the end of the transmission chain plate 11, ensuring that the C-shaped support plate 2 can rotate synchronously with the transmission chain plate 11.

[0032] Mounting frame 3: It is fixedly installed on the upper end of the C-shaped support plate 2 and is used to place electronic components. The upper end of the frame has a fixedly installed rubber suction cup 31 that can adsorb electronic components. The mounting groove 32 on the side end is used to connect the air duct 41.

[0033] Rubber suction cup 31: It is conical and fixedly installed at the upper end of the mounting frame 3. When the vacuum generator 4 pumps air, it forms a negative pressure to adsorb electronic components and ensure the stability of electronic components during the transfer and feeding process.

[0034] Installation groove 32: It is opened at the side end of the mounting frame 3 and is used to fix the air guide pipe 41 so that the air guide pipe 41 is connected to the inside of the mounting frame 3, providing a channel for the vacuum generator 4 to pump air.

[0035] Vacuum generator 4: Fixedly installed on the side end of C-shaped support plate 2. By starting the pump, air is drawn through the air guide pipe 41 into the mounting groove 32, so that negative pressure is formed at the rubber suction cup 31 to adsorb electronic components, avoiding clamping and damaging the components, and at the same time facilitating the fixing and release of electronic components.

[0036] Air guide tube 41: connects vacuum generator 4 and mounting groove 32, and transmits the suction force generated by vacuum generator 4 to the inside of mounting frame 3, so that rubber suction cup 31 forms negative pressure to adsorb electronic components.

[0037] Working principle:

[0038] When transferring and feeding electronic components, the user can activate the support on the transfer bracket 1. Activation of the support on the transfer bracket 1 will cause the transfer chain plate 11 to rotate, which in turn will cause each C-shaped support plate 2 to rotate. When transferring the electronic components, the user can place them on the mounting frame 3, aligning the center position with the rubber suction cup 31. Simultaneously, the vacuum generator 4 will be activated. The vacuum generator 4 will draw air through the air guide pipe 41 within the mounting groove 32. At this time, the rubber suction cup 31 within the mounting frame 3 will be under negative pressure, attracting the electronic components and ensuring their stability during transfer and feeding. When the electronic components are moved to the processing area by the mounting frame 3 on the transfer chain plate 11, the processing area staff can operate the vacuum generator 4 to release the gas. Simply remove the electronic components from the mounting frame 3. In existing electronic component transport, to ensure stable transport, clamps are typically used to hold and transport the components. Adjusting the clamps is time-consuming, and the clamping may damage the surface of the electronic components, affecting subsequent processing quality. This device uses a vacuum generator 4 in conjunction with the mounting frame 3. When transporting the electronic components, the vacuum generator 4 is activated to create a negative pressure at the rubber suction cup 31 to adsorb the electronic components. The operation is simple, eliminating the need for repeated clamp adjustments and improving the efficiency of electronic component feeding. Furthermore, the vacuum generator 4's suction and adsorption method secures the electronic components, preventing damage from excessive clamping force. This ensures stable clamping while maintaining the integrity of the electronic components.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are merely examples for clearly illustrating the present invention and are not intended to limit the implementation. Those skilled in the art can make other variations or modifications based on the above description. It is neither necessary nor possible to exhaustively list all possible implementations. However, obvious variations or modifications derived therefrom are still within the protection scope of this invention.
