Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of SMT automatic material unloading technology, specifically an SMT automatic material unloading robot. Background Technology
[0002] SMT production line, surface mount technology is a new generation of electronic assembly technology developed from hybrid integrated circuit technology. It is characterized by the use of surface mount technology and reflow soldering technology, and has become a new generation of assembly technology in electronic product manufacturing. A robot is an automatic operating device that can imitate certain functions of human hand and arm to grasp, move objects or operate tools according to a fixed program. Now there is a need for an automatic SMT unloading robot.
[0003] Most current LCD manufacturing plants use floor-mounted transfer machines for their chip mounter production lines, which are often split into two or more types. The disadvantages of floor-mounted transfer machines are that they can only transfer panels of a single specification; they are incompatible with different sizes and lengths. Furthermore, floor-mounted transfer machines occupy a large space, spanning between different chip mounter lines, making it impossible for personnel to walk through the aisles. Often, if there is a problem with the machine in front of the floor-mounted transfer machine, personnel on the later lines have to walk a long way to the front to handle the issue. Another major drawback of floor-mounted transfer machines is that they can only transport panels at the end face; they cannot be inserted into the middle of the reflow soldering line, limiting the merging of transfers between a few lines at the end face and restricting the overall production process. The high utilization rate of reflow soldering has led to customers' workshops needing to run more reflow soldering machines to meet production line capacity requirements, resulting in financial and electrical waste (reflow soldering lines consume a huge amount of electricity every day). In addition, existing unloading robots have some shortcomings. SMT placement requires unloading, and existing unloading robots are not convenient for automatic unloading, which means that manual intervention is still required during operation. They are not compatible with different products, and it is not convenient to reliably and reliably pick up and transfer products of different sizes on the first panel, mechanical protection switch, and second panel. They also cannot pick up products on multiple different tracks. Utility Model Content
[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to provide an automatic SMT unloading robot to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that the unloading robot is inconvenient to use for automatic unloading.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an SMT automatic unloading robot, including a machine frame, an SMT connector cable mounted on the surface of the machine frame, an operation panel mounted on the surface at the top of the machine frame, a transverse module mounted on the surface at the top of the machine frame, and a solenoid valve assembly mounted on the surface of the transverse module. The input end of the solenoid valve assembly is electrically connected to the output end of the operation panel.
[0006] Preferably, the surface of the transverse module is provided with a gripping robot, the gripping robot and the surface of the transverse module are slidably engaged, a first support frame is provided on one side of the equipment frame, the surface of the first support frame is fixed to the surface of the transverse module, and the surface of the gripping robot is provided with a panel product, the panel product including a first panel, a second panel and a third panel.

[0008] Preferably, a lateral gripping module is mounted on the surface of the gripping robot, and a double-stroke cylinder is mounted on the surface of the lateral gripping module. The input end of the double-stroke cylinder is electrically connected to the output end of the operation panel, and the output end of the operation panel extends to the bottom of the panel product.
[0009] Preferably, the surface of the gripping robot is equipped with upper and lower modules, the input end of the upper and lower modules is electrically connected to the output end of the operation panel, the output end of the upper and lower modules is fixed to the surface of the gripping robot, and a mechanical protection switch is installed on the surface of the gripping robot.
[0010] Preferably, the surface of the gripping robot is provided with a first panel, which is located below the horizontal gripping module; the surface of the gripping robot is provided with a third panel, which is located below the first panel; and the surface of the gripping robot is provided with a second panel, which is located below the third panel.
[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: the SMT automatic unloading robot does not require human intervention during use, it is compatible with different products, it can stably grip and transfer products of different sizes of the first panel, mechanical protection switch and second panel, it can grip multiple different tracks, and it can have multiple SMT connection lines. The parameters can be changed on the operation panel.
[0012] Equipped with an automatic feeding mechanism, when the material sensor switch on the SMT feeder line detects a panel product, the PLC sends a command to the equipment. The equipment begins to grip and transfer the panel. The servo motor in the lateral movement module receives the signal and starts working, commanding the gripping robot to move above the panel product to begin gripping. The upper and lower modules begin to descend, and the mechanical safety switch and radial positioning cylinder activate to clamp the panel product. After clamping, the upper and lower modules begin to rise. After rising, the lateral movement module begins to move the gripping robot and the panel product towards the frame. During this movement, the upper and lower double-stroke cylinder, controlled by the operation panel, descends a short distance to prevent interference with the SMT feeder line. After descending a short distance, the lateral gripping module begins to clamp the panel product. After clamping, the lateral gripping module and radial positioning cylinder return to their initial state. Simultaneously, the upper and lower double-stroke cylinder, controlled by the operation panel, continues to descend a second short distance to prevent interference with the gripping robot and the frame. In the process of volumetric interference, after the gripping robot completes all the above actions during its movement towards the frame, it arrives above the connecting roller line. The detection switch begins to determine whether there is an item on the connecting roller line. If there is, it continues to wait until the detection switch determines that there is no item, then sends a command to the operation panel to lower the upper and lower modules. After reaching the position, the horizontal gripping module returns to its original state. While the panel product is conveyed forward to the return line along the connecting roller line, the operation panel commands the upper and lower modules to rise. After rising to the position, the horizontal moving module begins to move back to the initial position and continues to wait for the indication of the induction switch in the SMT connecting line to cycle through the action. This realizes the automatic unloading function of the unloading robot, so that the unloading robot does not require manual intervention during use. It is compatible with different products and can stably grip and transfer products of different sizes of the first panel, mechanical protection switch, and second panel. It can grip multiple different tracks and can accommodate multiple SMT connecting lines. The parameters can be changed on the operation panel. Attached Figure Description

[0019] The present invention provides a structure for an automatic SMT unloading robot, as shown in the following figure. Figure 2 and Figure 4As shown, the device includes a machine rack 1. An SMT connector cable 102 is mounted on the surface of the machine rack 1. An operation panel 107 (e.g., LA series) is mounted on the top surface of the machine rack 1. A transverse module 105 is mounted on the top surface of the machine rack 1. A solenoid valve assembly 106 (e.g., TM series) is mounted on the surface of the transverse module 105. The input terminal of the solenoid valve assembly 106 is electrically connected to the output terminal of the operation panel 107. A gripping robot 104 is mounted on the surface of the transverse module 105. The gripping robot 104... The surfaces of the transverse module 105 slide against each other. A first support frame 101 is provided on one side of the equipment frame 1. The surface of the first support frame 101 is fixed to the surface of the transverse module 105. A panel product 103 is provided on the surface of the gripping robot 104. The panel product 103 includes a first panel 116, a second panel 117, and a third panel 118. A frame body 111 is provided on one side of the equipment frame 1. The surface of the frame body 111 is provided with connecting roller conveyors 109. A detection switch 108 is installed on the surface of the frame body 111. A second support frame 110 is installed on the surface of the frame body 111. The surface of the support frame 110 is fixed to the surface of the transverse module 105. A transverse gripping module 113 is mounted on the surface of the gripping robot 104. A double-stroke cylinder 112 (selected from the DG series) is mounted on the surface of the transverse gripping module 113. The input end of the double-stroke cylinder 112 is electrically connected to the output end of the operation panel 107, which extends below the panel product 103. An upper and lower module 114 (selected from the DG series) is mounted on the surface of the gripping robot 104. The input end of the upper and lower module 114... The input end is electrically connected to the output end of the operation panel 107. The output end of the upper and lower modules 114 is fixed to the surface of the gripping robot 104. A mechanical protection switch 119 is installed on the surface of the gripping robot 104. A first panel 116 is provided on the surface of the gripping robot 104. The first panel 116 is located below the horizontal gripping module 113. A third panel 118 is provided on the surface of the gripping robot 104. The third panel 118 is located below the first panel 116. A second panel 117 is provided on the surface of the gripping robot 104. The second panel 117 is located below the third panel 118.
[0020] During implementation, when the material sensing switch in the SMT connector 102 detects the panel product 103, the PLC sends an instruction to the equipment, and the equipment begins to grip and transfer it. The servo motor in the transverse module 105 receives the signal and starts working, commanding the gripping robot 104 to move above the panel product 103 to begin gripping. The upper and lower modules 114 begin to descend, and the mechanical protection switch 119 and the radial positioning cylinder 115 begin to work to clamp the panel product 103. After clamping, the upper and lower modules 114 begin to rise. After rising, the transverse module 105 begins to move the gripping robot 104 and the panel product 103 towards the frame 111. During the movement, the upper and lower double-stroke cylinder 112 descends a certain stroke under the control of the operation panel 107 to prevent interference with the transverse and SMT connector 102. After descending a certain stroke, the transverse gripping module 113 begins to work to clamp the panel product 103. After the panel product 103 is clamped, the transverse gripping module 113 and the radial positioning cylinder 115... Cylinder 115 returns to its initial state, while the double-stroke cylinder 112 continues to descend two more strokes under the control of the operation panel 107. This is to prevent interference between the gripping robot 104 and the frame 111. After completing all the above actions while moving towards the frame 111, the gripping robot 104 arrives above the connecting roller line 109. The detection switch 108 starts to determine if there is an item on the connecting roller line 109. If there is, it continues to wait until the detection switch 108 determines that there is no item. Then, it sends a command to the operation panel 107 to lower the upper and lower modules 114. After reaching the position, the horizontal gripping module 113 returns to its original state. As the panel product 103 is conveyed forward to the return line along with the connecting roller line 109, the operation panel 107 commands the upper and lower modules 114 to rise. After rising to the position, the horizontal moving module 105 begins to move back to the initial position and continues to wait for the indication of the induction switch in the SMT connecting line 102 to cycle through the action, so as to realize the automatic unloading function of the unloading robot.
[0021] Working Principle: In use, first place the equipment frame 1 in the designated position. After powering on the equipment, press the start button on the operation panel 107 to connect the various control relays, the lateral movement module 105, and the stepper and servo motors in the gripping robot 104. When the material sensing switch in the SMT connection line 102 senses the panel product 103, the PLC sends a command to the equipment, and the equipment begins to grip and transfer. The servo motor in the lateral movement module 105 receives the signal and starts working, commanding the gripping robot 104 to move above the panel product 103 to begin gripping. The upper and lower modules 114 begin to descend, and the mechanical protection switch 119 and the radial positioning air switch activate. Cylinder 115 begins to grip the panel product 103. After gripping, the upper and lower modules 114 begin to rise. After rising, the lateral module 105 begins to move the gripping robot 104 and the panel product 103 towards the frame 111. During the movement, the upper and lower double-stroke cylinder 112 descends a certain distance under the control of the operation panel 107 to prevent interference with the SMT connection cable 102 laterally. After descending a certain distance, the lateral gripping module 113 begins to grip the panel product 103. After the panel product 103 is gripped, the lateral gripping module 113 and the radial positioning cylinder 115 return to their initial state. At the same time, the upper and lower double-stroke cylinder 112 is controlled by the operation panel 107. The control panel 107 continues to descend two stages of its travel, then descends one more stage to prevent interference between the gripping robot 104 and the frame 111. After completing all the aforementioned actions while moving towards the frame 111, the gripping robot 104 reaches above the connecting roller conveyor 109. The detection switch 108 then checks if there is an item on the connecting roller conveyor 109. If so, it continues to wait until the detection switch 108 determines there is no item. Then, it sends a command to the control panel 107 to lower the upper and lower modules 114. Once in position, the horizontal gripping module 113 returns to its original state. Simultaneously, the panel product 103 is conveyed forward along the connecting roller conveyor 109 to the return line. 07 then commands the upper and lower modules 114 to rise. After rising to the correct position, the horizontal module 105 begins to move back to the initial position and continues to wait for the indication cycle of the induction switch in the SMT connector 102 to realize the automatic unloading function of the unloading robot. This allows the unloading robot to be used without human intervention, is compatible with different products, and can stably grip and transfer products of different sizes on the first panel 116, mechanical protection switch 119, and second panel 117. It can grip multiple different tracks and can have multiple SMT connectors 102. The parameters can be changed on the operation panel 107 to complete the use of the unloading robot.
[0022] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that this invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that it can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of this invention.
