Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of SMT (Surface Mount Technology) technology, and in particular to a feeding device for surface mount components. Background Technology

[0002] The number of robotic arms in existing SMT placement equipment is increasing, and current SMT placement equipment can now simultaneously place multiple surface-mount components (such as LED chips, resistors, capacitors, etc.). Therefore, existing SMT placement equipment has increasingly higher requirements for the feeding speed and efficiency of surface-mount components.

[0003] Currently, most existing feeding devices for surface mount components use direct vibration for feeding. Patent application CN202411267478.0, entitled "LED Feeding Device, System and Control Method Thereof," discloses an LED feeding device that mounts a feeding platform on a direct vibrator. However, the speed of direct vibration feeding is relatively slow and cannot meet production requirements. Utility Model Content

The front end of the feeding channel is connected to the rear end of the guide channel. The conveyor belt is located at the bottom of the feeding channel and is used to transport surface mount components into the feeding channel. A material pick-up port is provided at the end of the feeding channel, and a material stop is provided at the end of the material pick-up port.

[0006] Furthermore, the material guide channel is higher at the front and lower at the back, with a preset tilt angle.

[0007] Furthermore, a front material sensor is installed at the front end of the feeding channel.

[0008] Furthermore, a rear material sensor is installed at the material inlet.

[0009] Furthermore, the cross-section of the material guide channel and the material feeding channel is inverted T-shaped.

[0010] Furthermore, there are multiple sets of the guiding channel, feeding channel, and conveyor belt.

[0011] Furthermore, the drive mechanism includes a driving wheel, a driven wheel, and a motor transmission assembly that drives the driving wheel.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: This utility model uses a conveyor belt to transport materials, which has a simple structure and greatly improves the feeding speed compared with direct vibration feeding, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0023] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments and features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other. The present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] In this embodiment of the invention, directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture (as shown in the attached figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicators will also change accordingly.

[0025] Furthermore, in this utility model, descriptions involving "first," "second," etc., are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1 to 8 The feeding device for surface mount components in this embodiment of the present invention includes a guide channel, a feeding channel, a conveyor belt, and a drive mechanism.

[0027] The drive mechanism is used to drive the conveyor belt. The front end of the feeding channel connects to the rear end of the guide channel. The conveyor belt is located at the bottom of the feeding channel and is used to transport the surface mount components entering the feeding channel. That is, the upper layer of the conveyor belt is located at the bottom of the feeding channel.

[0028] A material receiving port is provided at the end of the feeding channel to facilitate the robotic arm's grasping of materials. A material stop is provided at the end of the material receiving port. The material stop stops the material being conveyed to the material receiving port, making it easier for the robotic arm to grasp the material.

[0029] In one implementation, the guide channel is higher at the front and lower at the back, with a preset tilt angle. This tilted design facilitates smoother movement of materials entering the guide channel into the feeding channel.

[0030] In one implementation, a front material sensor is installed at the front end of the feeding channel. The front material sensor detects whether there is material at the front end of the feeding channel. A rear material sensor is installed at the dispensing port. The rear material sensor detects whether there is material at the dispensing port to prevent the robotic arm from grabbing empty. Both the front and rear material sensors can be through-beam sensors.

[0031] In one implementation, the cross-section of the guide channel and the feeding channel is inverted T-shaped, meaning that the guide channel and the feeding channel are groove-shaped with openings at the top and both ends. The opening at the top of the guide channel and the feeding channel facilitates the user's observation of the material inside the channel, and also facilitates the production, processing, and assembly of the components (the channel can be assembled using only 2 to 3 parts).

[0032] In one implementation, multiple sets of the guide channel, feeding channel, and conveyor belts are used to improve conveying efficiency. Multiple sets of conveyor belts can be driven synchronously by a single drive mechanism.

[0033] In one implementation, the drive mechanism includes a driving wheel, a driven wheel, and a motor transmission assembly for driving the driving wheel. The driven wheel and the driving wheel are respectively located at the front and rear ends of the feeding channel.

[0034] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: In use, this utility model is located between the feeding platform and the robot arm; the feeding platform blows the surface mount components into the guide channel from the front end, and the surface mount components in the guide channel enter the feeding channel under the influence of inertia, air blowing, and gravity (the guide channel is tilted); the surface mount components in the feeding channel move to the end of the picking port under the drive of the conveyor belt, and are picked up by the picking robot arm.

[0035] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
