[0002] In the modern electronics manufacturing industry, SMT (Surface Mount Technology) mounting equipment is a core piece of equipment in electronic product production, and its performance and reliability have a crucial impact on product quality and production efficiency. Traditional SMT mounting equipment is usually only equipped with a simple observation window. When operators are facing away from the factory lighting, shadows are cast on the observation window, significantly reducing the visibility. This not only affects the efficiency of equipment debugging and troubleshooting but may also lead to misoperation due to unclear observation. In addition, traditional equipment lacks an effective maintenance mechanism for the observation window. When the inside of the observation window fogs up or becomes dusty, it severely obstructs vision, often requiring operators to stop the machine and manually wipe it, interrupting the production process and reducing production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0003] The purpose of this utility model is to at least solve one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, and to provide a new type of SMT placement equipment that solves the problem of fogging or dust accumulation on the inside of the observation window, requiring operators to stop the machine and manually wipe it.

[0011] According to the present invention, in a novel SMT placement device, the LED light and the cleaning wipe are located inside the protective cover, and the outer surface of the movable frame is slidably connected to the protective cover. The LED light can adjust its illumination angle at any time to ensure optimal brightness of the observation area; the cleaning wipe can flexibly cover the entire inner side of the observation window to ensure clear observation.

[0012] Beneficial effects:

[0013] This novel SMT placement equipment utilizes a curved observation window on a protective cover to monitor the equipment's operation. A motor on the cover rotates a lead screw, moving LEDs within the cover to provide more precise illumination and ensure the area within the observation window is fully lit. Simultaneously, the extension and retraction of a pneumatic telescopic rod allows for angle adjustment of the LEDs, achieving optimal lighting and a better user experience. When the inside of the curved observation window fogs up or becomes dusty, the pneumatic telescopic rod can be extended to bring a cleaning wipe into contact with the inside of the window. The moving frame then moves the cleaning wipe to clean the inside of the window, providing a clearer view and higher visual quality. After cleaning, the cleaning wipe is retracted to prevent continuous friction against the window during frame movement. Attached Figure Description

[0021] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0022] Reference Figure 1-4This utility model discloses a novel SMT placement equipment, comprising: a placement equipment body 1, which efficiently and accurately places components onto a circuit board pre-coated with solder paste. The body consists of a placement head, a transport platform, and a vision recognition system. Components are loaded into tapes or cassettes and manually transported to the placement area. A camera system identifies the component's position, polarity, and other information, and calibrates the placement position. The placement head picks up the target component through a nozzle, and the motion platform accurately moves the component to the target pad and releases it. This is a conventional structure. A protective cover is hinged to the upper surface of the placement equipment body 1. 2. The outer surface of the protective cover 2 is provided with an arc-shaped observation window 3 to observe the installation status of the equipment, promptly identify and resolve problems. It is made of transparent material, ensuring that operators can clearly observe the internal operating status of the equipment. A motor 4 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the protective cover 2, and a lead screw 5 is fixedly connected to the output end of the motor 4, converting rotational motion into linear motion. It consists of a screw and a nut, etc. When the lead screw 5 rotates, the thread and nut cooperate to transmit power to the moving parts. Through the thread pitch, rotation is converted into linear motion, achieving precise translation of the parts. The outer surface of the lead screw 5... A movable frame 6 is threaded onto the surface, and a fixed frame 7 is fixedly connected to one end of the movable frame 6. A pneumatic telescopic rod 8 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the fixed frame 7. The rod extends and retracts via air pressure and consists of a cylinder, a piston, and a piston rod. Compressed air is input into one end of the cylinder to fill the cylinder space. Under the action of air pressure, the piston drives the piston rod forward or backward along the cylinder. The pneumatic telescopic rod 10 has the same structure as the pneumatic telescopic rod 8. A cleaning wipe 9 is fixedly connected to the output end of the pneumatic telescopic rod 8 to periodically remove fog and dirt from the arc-shaped observation window 3. It is supported by a frame. The frame consists of a bracket and wiping material (wiping cloth or wiping head). The softness of the wiping material is used to remove dust, fog and stains from the inner surface of the observation window. The lower surface of the fixed frame 7 is hinged with a pneumatic telescopic rod 10. The output end of the pneumatic telescopic rod 10 is hinged with an LED light 11 to ensure good lighting conditions in the area inside the arc-shaped observation window 3. The LED light 11 consists of a light-emitting diode chip, a driving power supply and a housing. When current passes through the LED chip, it is forward biased, causing electrons and holes in the PN junction to recombine, releasing photons and generating light. The upper end of the LED light 11 is rotatably connected to the fixed frame 7.

[0023] The outer surface of the cleaning wipe 9 is in contact with the inner side of the arc-shaped observation window 3. Both the outer surface of the cleaning wipe 9 and the inner side of the arc-shaped observation window 3 are smooth surfaces. A guide rod 13 is fixedly connected to the inner side of the cleaning wipe 9. The outer surface of the guide rod 13 is slidably connected to the fixing frame 7. One end of the guide rod 13 is fixedly connected to a limiting piece 14. The upper surface of the limiting piece 14 is in contact with the lower surface of the fixing frame 7. A guide rod 12 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the protective cover 2. The outer surface of the guide rod 12 is slidably connected to the fixing frame 7. One end of the screw 5 is fixedly connected to a limiting piece 15. The outer surface of the limiting piece 15 is in contact with one end of the moving frame 6. An identification box 16 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the mounting equipment body 1. An identification plate is placed inside the identification box 16. The LED light 11 and the cleaning wipe 9 are located inside the protective cover 2. The outer surface of the moving frame 6 is slidably connected to the protective cover 2.

[0024] Specifically, the working status of the mounting equipment body 1 can be observed through the arc-shaped observation window 3 on the protective cover 2. The motor 4 on the protective cover 2 rotates the lead screw 5, so that the fixing bracket 7, which is threaded to the lead screw 5, can move the LED light 11 inside the protective cover 2, providing more precise lighting and ensuring that the area observed inside the arc-shaped observation window 3 is illuminated. At the same time, the extension and retraction of the pneumatic telescopic rod 10 allows the LED light 11 to be adjusted in angle, achieving the best lighting effect and bringing a better user experience. When the inside of the arc-shaped observation window 3 fogs up or gets dusty, the pneumatic telescopic rod 8 on the fixing bracket 7 can be extended and retracted to bring the cleaning wipe 9 into contact with the inside of the arc-shaped observation window 3. The movement of the fixing bracket 7 moves the cleaning wipe 9 to wipe the inside of the arc-shaped observation window 3, providing a clearer observation window and higher visual quality. After wiping, the cleaning wipe 9 is retracted to prevent the cleaning wipe 9 from constantly rubbing against the observation window while the fixing bracket 7 moves with the LED light 11.

[0025] Working Principle: During use, the working status of the mounting equipment body 1 can be observed through the arc-shaped observation window 3 on the protective cover 2. The motor 4 on the protective cover 2 rotates the lead screw 5, which allows the fixing frame 7, which is threaded to the lead screw 5, to move with the LED light 11 inside the protective cover 2, providing more precise lighting and ensuring that the area observed inside the arc-shaped observation window 3 is illuminated. At the same time, the extension and retraction of the pneumatic telescopic rod 10 allows the LED light 11 to be adjusted in angle to achieve the best lighting effect. When the inside of the arc-shaped observation window 3 fogs up or gets dusty, the pneumatic telescopic rod 8 on the fixing frame 7 can be extended and retracted to bring the cleaning wipe 9 into contact with the inside of the arc-shaped observation window 3. The movement of the fixing frame 7 moves the cleaning wipe 9 to wipe the inside of the arc-shaped observation window 3, providing a clearer observation window and higher visual quality. After wiping, the cleaning wipe 9 is retracted to prevent it from rubbing against the observation window while the fixing frame 7 moves with the LED light 11.

[0026] The embodiments of the present utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
