Description

Technical Field

[0001] The embodiments disclosed herein relate to the field of wire cutting and sorting, and more specifically to wire cutting and sorting devices. Background Technology

[0002] Surface Mount Technology (SMT) is one of the key technologies in the electronics manufacturing industry. SMT wire cutting and sorting machines, as a crucial part of the SMT production line, undertake the critical task of cutting raw materials such as carrier tapes and cover films according to precise dimensions and process requirements. Their performance directly affects the production efficiency and quality of electronic products. Currently, most wire cutting and sorting machines employ independent structural designs for their functional components.

[0003] However, when using the aforementioned wire cutting and sorting machine to cut wire, the following technical problems often arise:

[0004] The independent configuration of each functional component leads to lag in internal signal interaction and poor coordination of actions. This can easily cause asynchronous control and process blockages during the connection of processes such as raw material transportation, cutting, and sorting, resulting in low cutting and sorting efficiency.

[0005] The information disclosed in this background section is only intended to enhance the understanding of the background of the present disclosure concept, and therefore may contain information that does not form prior art known to those skilled in the art. Utility Model Content

[0018] Some embodiments of this disclosure provide a wire cutting and sorting device, which can provide an integrated structural design and a main control unit for coordinated control of wire cutting and sorting, thereby improving the efficiency of cutting and sorting. Specifically, the reason why most wire cutting and sorting machines have low cutting and sorting efficiency is that the functional components of most wire cutting and sorting machines adopt an independent structural design. The independent setting of each functional component leads to lag in internal signal interaction and poor coordination of actions. During the connection of raw material conveying, cutting, and sorting processes, phenomena such as asynchronous control and process jamming are prone to occur, resulting in low cutting and sorting efficiency. Based on this, some embodiments of this disclosure provide a wire cutting and sorting device, characterized in that the wire cutting and sorting device includes a wire conveying device, a carrier belt conveying device, a cutting device, a carrier belt conveying track, a main control unit, a sorting device, and a carrier belt packaging device, wherein the cutting device is disposed after the wire conveying device; the carrier belt conveying track is disposed after the carrier belt conveying device; the carrier belt conveying track is disposed on one side of the sorting device; the sorting device is disposed on one side of the front half of the carrier belt conveying track, and the carrier belt conveying track is provided with a carrier belt groove. When the sorting device is started, the sorting device is configured to pick up the wire cut by the cutting device and transport the cut wire to the carrier belt on the carrier belt groove; the carrier belt packaging device is disposed in the rear half of the carrier belt conveying track; the main control unit is communicatively connected to the wire conveying device, the carrier belt conveying device, the cutting device, the sorting device, and the carrier belt packaging device. On the one hand, the aforementioned main control unit coordinates the wire feeding, cutting, sorting, carrier belt transport, and packaging devices, enabling the cut wire to be directly and accurately placed onto the carrier belt via the sorting device. This forms a streamlined "cutting, sorting, and packaging" process, avoiding signal delays and action waiting between independent components and significantly improving overall cutting and sorting efficiency. On the other hand, through the integrated design of the sorting device and the carrier belt transport track, the cut wire is automatically adsorbed and placed onto the carrier belt, eliminating material transfer gaps between processes. Therefore, an integrated wire cutting and sorting device with improved cutting and sorting efficiency can be provided. Attached Figure Description

When the carrier belt receives tension, it can drive the gravity wheel 173 to move bidirectionally in the vertical direction. The first sensor 18 can be set at a first preset position on the platform 10. The second sensor can be positioned at a second preset position on the platform 10. The first preset position is the side of the platform 10 relative to the gravity wheel 173 when it is not pulled up, and the second preset position is the side of the platform 10 relative to the gravity wheel 173 when it is pulled up to its highest point, thus enabling the sensing of the position of the gravity wheel 173 through the first sensor 18 and the second sensor. It should be noted that the second sensor is not shown in the figure.

[0057] The above-described optional embodiments, as an inventive point of this disclosure, solve the technical problem that "most wire cutting and sorting devices lack a carrier belt conveyor adjustment structure, resulting in poor flexibility." The specific factors leading to the poor flexibility of multi-wire cutting and sorting devices are as follows: most wire cutting and sorting devices directly transport the carrier belt to the carrier belt transport track without setting up a buffer or control structure for the carrier belt transport, resulting in poor transport flexibility. Solving these factors can improve the transport flexibility of the carrier belt. To achieve this effect, this disclosure also provides a gravity adjustment device, which uses the carrier belt to support gravity wheels between the gravity adjustment fixing frames, and uses sensors to sense the position of the gravity wheels to achieve automatic dynamic control of the transport of the carrier belt. Thus, a carrier belt conveyor adjustment structure is provided, improving the transport flexibility of the carrier belt.

[0058] Some embodiments of this disclosure provide a wire cutting and sorting device, which can provide an integrated structural design and a main control unit for coordinated control of wire cutting and sorting, thereby improving the efficiency of cutting and sorting. Specifically, the reason why most wire cutting and sorting machines have low cutting and sorting efficiency is that the functional components of most wire cutting and sorting machines adopt an independent structural design. The independent setting of each functional component leads to lag in internal signal interaction and poor coordination of actions. During the connection of raw material conveying, cutting, and sorting processes, phenomena such as asynchronous control and process jamming are prone to occur, resulting in low cutting and sorting efficiency. Based on this, some embodiments of this disclosure provide a wire cutting and sorting device, characterized in that the wire cutting and sorting device includes a wire conveying device, a carrier belt conveying device, a cutting device, a carrier belt conveying track, a main control unit, a sorting device, and a carrier belt packaging device, wherein the cutting device is disposed after the wire conveying device; the carrier belt conveying track is disposed after the carrier belt conveying device; the carrier belt conveying track is disposed on one side of the sorting device; the sorting device is disposed on one side of the front half of the carrier belt conveying track, and the carrier belt conveying track is provided with a carrier belt groove. When the sorting device is started, the sorting device is configured to pick up the wire cut by the cutting device and transport the cut wire to the carrier belt on the carrier belt groove; the carrier belt packaging device is disposed in the rear half of the carrier belt conveying track; the main control unit is communicatively connected to the wire conveying device, the carrier belt conveying device, the cutting device, the sorting device, and the carrier belt packaging device. On the one hand, the aforementioned main control unit coordinates the wire feeding, cutting, sorting, carrier belt transport, and packaging devices, enabling the cut wire to be directly and accurately placed onto the carrier belt via the sorting device. This forms a streamlined "cutting, sorting, and packaging" process, avoiding signal delays and action waiting between independent components and significantly improving overall cutting and sorting efficiency. On the other hand, through the integrated design of the sorting device and the carrier belt transport track, the cut wire is automatically adsorbed and placed onto the carrier belt, eliminating material transfer gaps between processes. Therefore, an integrated wire cutting and sorting device with improved cutting and sorting efficiency can be provided.
