Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic manufacturing equipment technology, and in particular to an automatic tooling cover plate flipping device and an automated production line. Background Technology
[0002] During the production of the air conditioner outdoor unit mainboard, due to manufacturing process requirements, the components on the circuit board need to be soldered and fixed to be connected to the circuit board. This requires that the components be accurately and stably positioned on the circuit board before soldering. However, due to the limitations of their own structure, some components cannot be stably positioned on the circuit board before soldering, thus affecting the soldering process. For example, some components with single-row bent leads, whose structure has leads on only one side, cannot be stably placed and positioned on the circuit board.
[0003] To address the issue of components not being stably fixed to the circuit board, a positioning fixture is used to position the components and the circuit board. The positioning fixture includes a support base and a fixture cover plate. The fixture cover plate is rotatably connected to the support base, which can clamp the components to be soldered in a direction perpendicular to the circuit board. This allows for accurate positioning of the components relative to the circuit board in terms of position, height, and orientation, without the need for manual intervention, effectively ensuring the efficiency and quality of subsequent soldering operations.
[0004] Currently, the tooling cover plate is mainly closed on the bearing seat by manual labor, which is a great waste of manpower. In addition, it is not easy to control the force when manually closing the tooling cover plate, and it is easy to cause excessive force to cause the components to vibrate and bounce, damaging the components.

[0036] This utility model provides an automatic tooling cover plate flipping device and automated production line that can significantly reduce manpower waste, achieve automated staff reduction, improve production efficiency, and ensure consistent quality.
[0037] The following is combined Figures 1-6The technical solution provided by this utility model will be described in more detail.
[0038] This utility model provides an automatic tooling cover plate flipping device 200, comprising:
[0039] Conveyor line 210 is used to convey positioning fixture 100, which includes a support seat 110 and a fixture cover plate 120, and the fixture cover plate 120 is rotatably connected to the support seat 110.
[0040] A fixing mechanism 220 is provided along the conveying direction of the conveyor line 210 to position the bearing seat 110;
[0041] The flipping mechanism 230 is used to drive the tooling cover plate 120 to rotate so that the tooling cover plate 120 covers the support seat 110.
[0042] The automatic tooling cover plate flipping device 200 provided by this utility model includes a conveyor line 210, a fixing mechanism 220, and a flipping mechanism 230. The fixing mechanism 220 is arranged along the conveying direction of the conveyor line 210 to position the carrier seat 110 at a designated position during the conveying process of the conveyor line 210. The flipping mechanism 230 is used to drive the tooling cover plate 120 to rotate so that the tooling cover plate 120 covers the carrier seat 110, thereby realizing the automatic completion of the tooling cover plate 120 covering the carrier seat 110, which can greatly reduce manpower waste, realize automation and reduce manpower, improve production efficiency, and ensure quality consistency.
[0043] In some embodiments of this utility model, a buffer mechanism 240 is also included, which is disposed on the rotation path of the tooling cover plate 120.
[0044] In some embodiments of the present invention described above, a buffer mechanism 240 is also provided on the rotation path of the tooling cover plate 120. When the flipping mechanism 230 drives the tooling cover plate 120 and the support seat 110 to rotate, the tooling cover plate 120 can first contact the buffer mechanism 240 and then close onto the support seat 110. The buffer mechanism 240 can reduce the impact force when the tooling cover plate 120 closes onto the support seat 110, and prevent the components from vibrating and bouncing. This can prevent the tooling cover plate 120 from affecting the components when it closes, and effectively ensure the safety of the components.
[0045] In some embodiments of this utility model, the buffer mechanism 240 is an elastic buffer roller.
[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention described above, by employing elastic buffer rollers, when the flipping mechanism 230 drives the tooling cover 120 and the support seat 110 to rotate, the tooling cover 120 can first contact the elastic buffer rollers, and then the tooling cover 120 can be closed on the support seat 110. The elastic buffer rollers can prevent the tooling cover 120 from directly contacting the support seat 110, thereby avoiding the problem of excessive impact force between the tooling cover 120 and the support seat 110 causing the components to vibrate and bounce, damaging the components.
[0047] It should be noted that the buffer mechanism 240 adopts an elastic buffer roller. After the tooling cover plate 120 flips onto the elastic buffer roller, it continues to be conveyed by the drive conveyor line 210, so that the tooling cover plate 120 slowly moves on the elastic buffer roller until the tooling cover plate 120 is separated from the elastic buffer roller and then covers the bearing seat 110, effectively ensuring the covering force between the tooling cover plate 120 and the bearing seat 110, and effectively protecting the components.
[0048] In some embodiments of this utility model, the buffer mechanism 240 further includes a buffer drive cylinder, which is connected to the elastic buffer roller and is used to drive the elastic buffer roller to move closer to or further away from the support seat 110.
[0049] In some of the embodiments of the present invention described above, the buffer mechanism 240 further includes a buffer drive cylinder, which is used to drive the elastic buffer roller to move closer to or further away from the support seat 110, thereby changing the distance between the elastic buffer roller and the support seat 110, better reducing the closing force between the tooling cover plate 120 and the support seat 110, and effectively protecting the components.
[0050] It is understood that, in some embodiments, the tooling cover 120 can be slowly detached from the carrier 110 by employing a reciprocating drive assembly to drive the elastic buffer roller in the opposite direction of the conveying direction of the conveyor line 210.
[0051] In some embodiments of this utility model, the fixing mechanism 220 includes a blocking component 250, which is disposed in the moving direction of the support 110.
[0052] In some embodiments of the present invention described above, the fixing mechanism 220 includes a blocking component 250, which is disposed in the moving direction of the support seat 110. The blocking component 250 is used to block the support seat 110 and fix the support seat 110 at a designated position on the conveyor line 210. After the support seat 110 is fixed, the tooling cover plate 120 is driven to flip by the flipping mechanism 230, thereby completing the automated flipping of the tooling cover plate 120. This can significantly reduce manpower waste, achieve automation and staff reduction, improve production efficiency, and ensure consistent quality.
[0053] In some embodiments of this utility model, the blocking assembly 250 includes a blocking cylinder 251 and a blocking baffle 252. The blocking baffle 252 is connected to the blocking cylinder 251. The blocking cylinder 251 drives the blocking baffle 252 to move back and forth to block or release the support seat 110.
[0054] In some embodiments of the present invention described above, the blocking assembly 250 includes a blocking cylinder 251 and a blocking baffle 252. The blocking baffle 252 is connected to the blocking cylinder 251. The blocking cylinder 251 drives the blocking baffle 252 to reciprocate, thereby enabling the blocking baffle 252 to be positioned on the moving path of the support seat 110, thereby blocking the support seat 110; or driving the blocking baffle 252 to disengage from the moving path of the support seat 110, thereby releasing the support seat 110.
[0055] It is understood that a sensor is installed on the conveyor line to detect whether the positioning fixture 100 has been conveyed to the predetermined position. When the positioning fixture 100 reaches the predetermined position, the blocking cylinder 251 drives the blocking baffle 252 to move onto the moving path of the carrier 110 to block the carrier 110 and restrict its horizontal movement.
[0056] In some embodiments of this utility model, the fixing mechanism 220 further includes a pressing component 260, which is disposed above the conveyor line 210 to press the bearing seat 110 onto the conveyor line 210.
[0057] In some embodiments of the present invention described above, the fixing mechanism 220 further includes a pressing component 260, which is disposed above the conveyor line 210. When the bearing seat 110 is blocked by the blocking mechanism, the pressing component 260 can press the bearing seat 110 onto the conveyor line 210, thereby effectively fixing the bearing seat 110 and ensuring that the bearing seat 110 is positioned in the designated position. When the tooling cover plate 120 is flipped, the position of the bearing seat 110 will not change, ensuring that the tooling cover plate 120 flips stably.
[0058] In some embodiments of this utility model, the pressing assembly 260 includes a pressing cylinder 261 and a pressing block 262. The pressing block 262 is connected to the pressing cylinder 261. The pressing cylinder 261 is used to drive the pressing block 262 to reciprocate so as to press or release the support seat 110.
[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention described above, the pressing assembly 260 includes a pressing cylinder 261 and a pressing block 262. The pressing cylinder 261 is used to drive the pressing block 262 to reciprocate in a manner that approaches or moves away from the support seat 110, thereby pressing or releasing the support seat 110.
[0060] It should be noted that when the blocking component 250 blocks the positioning fixture 100, the clamping cylinder 261 drives the clamping block 262 to move downward, clamping the bearing seat 110 and completing the fixing of the bearing seat.
[0061] In some embodiments of this utility model, the flipping mechanism 230 includes a lifting cylinder, which is disposed below the conveyor line 210 to drive the tooling cover plate 120 to rotate.
[0062] In some of the embodiments of the present invention described above, the flipping mechanism 230 includes a lifting cylinder, which is located below the conveyor line 210. After the support seat 110 is fixed by the fixing mechanism 220, the lifting cylinder can drive the tooling cover plate 120 to rotate, so that the tooling cover plate 120 covers the support seat 110.
[0063] Understandably, the lifting cylinder has a rapid upward impact force, which can cause the tooling cover plate 120 to move upward quickly. Under the action of inertia, the tooling cover plate 120 will flip over, and the tooling cover plate 120 will close onto the bearing seat 110.
[0064] It should be noted that after the detection blocking component 250 and the clamping component 260 fix the support seat 110, the lifting cylinder drives the tooling cover plate to flip. When it is detected that the tooling cover plate 120 has flipped onto the elastic buffer roller, the blocking component 250 and the clamping component 260 reset, the conveyor line 210 continues to convey, and the tooling cover plate 120 can roll along the elastic buffer roller. Slowly, the tooling cover plate 120 will slide down onto the support seat 110.
[0065] This utility model also provides an automated production line, including the automatic flipping tool cover plate device 200 as described above.
[0066] Example 1:
[0067] The automatic tooling cover plate flipping device 200 provided by this utility model includes:
[0068] Conveyor line 210 is used to convey positioning fixture 100, which includes a support seat 110 and a fixture cover plate 120, and the fixture cover plate 120 is rotatably connected to the support seat 110.
[0069] A fixing mechanism 220 is provided along the conveying direction of the conveyor line 210. The fixing mechanism 220 includes a blocking component 250 and a pressing component 260. The blocking component 250 is provided in the moving direction of the carrier 110, and the pressing component 260 is provided above the conveyor line 210. After the blocking component 250 blocks the carrier 110, the pressing component 260 presses the carrier 110 onto the conveyor line 210, thereby fixing the carrier 110.
[0070] The flipping mechanism 230 includes a lifting cylinder and a lifting block. The lifting block is disposed on the cylinder. The lifting cylinder is disposed below the conveyor line 210 and is used to drive the tooling cover plate 120 to rotate so that the tooling cover plate 120 flips and can cover the support seat 110.
[0071] A buffer mechanism 240 is disposed on the rotation path of the tooling cover plate 120.
[0072] Specifically, the blocking assembly 250 includes a blocking cylinder 251 and a blocking baffle 252. The blocking baffle 252 is connected to the blocking cylinder 251. The blocking cylinder 251 drives the blocking baffle 252 to reciprocate, thereby blocking or releasing the support seat 110.
[0073] The clamping assembly 260 includes a clamping cylinder 261 and a clamping block 262. The clamping block 262 is connected to the clamping cylinder 261. The clamping cylinder 261 is used to drive the clamping block 262 to reciprocate, so as to clamp or release the support seat 110.
[0074] The buffer mechanism 240 also includes an elastic buffer roller, which is disposed on the rotation path of the tooling cover plate 120.
[0075] This embodiment 1 also provides an automated production line, including the automatic flipping cover plate device 200 as described above.
[0076] The specific working process of this utility model is as follows:
[0077] A. After the module insertion is completed, the positioning fixture 100 with the circuit board flows into the production line. After the sensor detects that the positioning fixture 100 has reached the designated position, the blocking cylinder 251 drives the blocking baffle 252 to move to block the carrier 110 and limit the horizontal displacement of the carrier 110, as shown in Figure (2).
[0078] B. When it is detected that the bearing seat 110 is limited by the blocking baffle 252, the pressing cylinder 261 is used to drive the pressing block 262 to move down to press the bearing seat 110 and limit the vertical displacement of the bearing seat 110, as shown in Figure (3).
[0079] C. At this time, the lifting cylinder is located below the tooling cover plate 120. The lifting cylinder is quickly pushed out and can drive the tooling cover plate 120 to move upward and flip towards the bearing seat 110 under the action of inertia, as shown in Figure (4).
[0080] D. During the flipping process of the tool cover plate 120, since the buffer mechanism 240 is set on the rotation path of the tool cover plate 120, the tool cover plate 120 will be placed on the buffer mechanism 240, as shown in Figure (5).
[0081] E. The pressing cylinder 261 retracts, the blocking cylinder 251 retracts, the conveyor line 210 continues to convey, the tooling cover plate 120 slowly disengages from the buffer mechanism 240 until the tooling cover plate 120 covers the bearing seat 110, as shown in Figure (6), thus completing the automatic flipping of the tooling cover plate 120.
