[0002] Electronic components are the building blocks of electronic parts and small machines and instruments. They are often composed of several parts and are interchangeable in similar products. They commonly refer to certain parts in the electrical, radio, and instrumentation industries, and are a general term for electronic devices such as capacitors, transistors, hairsprings, and mainsprings. Common examples include diodes. Electronic components include: resistors, capacitors, inductors, potentiometers, electron tubes, heat sinks, electromechanical components, connectors, discrete semiconductor devices, electroacoustic devices, laser devices, electronic display devices, optoelectronic devices, sensors, power supplies, switches, micromotors, electronic transformers, relays, printed circuit boards, integrated circuits, various circuits, piezoelectric materials, crystals, quartz, ceramic magnetic materials, substrates for printed circuit boards, special materials for electronic functional processes, electronic adhesives (tapes), electronic chemical materials and components, etc.

[0003] In the current electronics industry, the testing of electronic components is mainly done manually, which results in slow operation speed and long response time. Manual testing requires processing each product individually, making it difficult to meet high production capacity requirements.

[0004] Manual handling and inspection processes consume a lot of physical and mental energy, which can easily lead to fatigue, reduce production efficiency, and require long-term training of workers to adapt to complex operating procedures. Highly skilled personnel are expensive, especially with labor costs rising year by year.

[0005] The experience, skills, and fatigue levels of different workers can affect the test results, and working for long periods of time can easily lead to errors in judgment and omissions. Utility Model Content

[0016] 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.

[0017] Please see Figure 1The present invention provides the following technical solution: a material handling and character recognition platform for use in the electronics industry, comprising a work platform 4, a support frame 5 provided on one side of the inside of the work platform 4, a six-axis robot 9 provided on one side of the support frame 5, a PLC controller 8 provided on one side of the bottom of the six-axis robot 9, a clamping part 2 provided at one end of the six-axis robot 9, a 2D camera 1 provided at the upper end of one side of the clamping part 2, a testing part 3 provided on one side of the support frame 5 corresponding to the clamping part 2, and a feeding rack 10 provided on the side of the inside of the work platform 4 away from the support frame 5.

[0018] Specifically, a drawer 6 is slidably connected to the upper side of the support frame 5, and a storage rack 7 is provided on the side of the drawer 6.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the products to be tested can be moved to seven storage racks after the testing is completed, which improves the convenience of product handling and saves human resources.

[0020] Specifically, an observation window is installed on the upper side of the work platform 4 via a hinge.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solutions, staff can easily observe the equipment's operation from the outside, enabling them to promptly detect and address equipment malfunctions and ensure operational stability.

[0022] Specifically, the gripping part 2 at one end of the six-axis robot 9 is provided with two sets, and each set of two sets of electric push rods drives the movement of the gripper.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, the synchronization of the clamping plate drive is guaranteed, the convenience and stability of clamping the product to be tested and the measuring equipment of the clamping part 2 are improved, human resources are saved and handling time is reduced.

[0024] Specifically, the bottom of the test section 3 is symmetrically equipped with slide rails, and the interior of the test section 3 is provided with placement slots.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, it is convenient for the 2D camera 1 to perform corresponding detection after the product to be tested is placed, thereby improving the detection efficiency.

[0026] The working principle and usage process of this utility model are as follows: When electronic components need to be tested, the user places the product to be tested into the loading rack 10. The gripping part 2 at one end of the six-axis robot 9 then picks up the product and moves it to the testing part 3. At the same time, the 2D camera 1 on the upper end of the six-axis robot 9 identifies and confirms the product to be tested. Then, the other gripping part 2 at one end of the six-axis robot 9 picks up the measuring probe and inserts it into the product to be tested. The gripping part 2 identifies the position of the product to be tested. The six-axis robot 9 then rotates the dial indicator on the product to a fixed position according to the corresponding test requirements and procedures. During the test, the gripping part 2 detects the changes in the characters on the product in real time and confirms whether the product is qualified. After the test is completed, the six-axis robot 9 clamps and transfers the product to the storage rack 7 for storage.

[0027] The 2D camera 1 uses optical imaging and photoelectric conversion technology to convert the two-dimensional projection of the three-dimensional scene into a digital image. It also combines edge detection, texture analysis and other algorithms to extract the key features of the product under test for subsequent target recognition or measurement. At the same time, it can combine template matching or deep learning to achieve the functions of localization and defect detection.

[0028] The PLC controller 8 adopts a "sequential scanning, continuous loop" working mode. It reads the port status of 2D camera 1, clamping part 2, testing part 3 and six-axis robot 9 at one time and stores it in the input image register. During this stage, the input signal changes are locked. Then, the CPU executes the logical operation and timing counting operation line by line according to the written program, updates the intermediate variable status, and after the program is completed, it synchronizes the result of the output image register to the physical output port to drive the external device.

[0029] Meanwhile, the PTP protocol is used between the components to precisely coordinate the work of each component. The master clock periodically publishes the PTP time synchronization protocol and time information, and the slave clock port receives the timestamp information sent by the master clock port. Based on this, the system calculates the master-slave line time delay and master-slave time difference, and uses the time difference to adjust the local time so that the slave device time keeps consistent with the master device time in frequency and phase.

[0030] 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.
