Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of terminal equipment manufacturing, and in particular relates to testing devices and terminal equipment production lines. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, users have increasingly higher requirements for the functionality and quality of electronic smart terminal devices such as mobile phones and tablets. The assembly and testing of smart terminals has evolved from traditional assembly lines to today's cell-based production operations, greatly improving production flexibility and efficiency.

[0003] During the product testing phase, it is typically necessary to test each component of the mobile phone, such as the screen, brightness sensor, proximity sensor, microphone, speaker, and physical buttons, to improve product quality. Testing requires loading and unloading equipment; however, existing testing devices rely on manual sorting of qualified and unqualified products after testing, resulting in low efficiency. Furthermore, the testing devices only have a single feeding channel, and when this channel is occupied, production interruptions occur, significantly impacting production efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this application is to provide a testing device and terminal equipment production line, which aims to solve the problem of how to improve material conveying efficiency and production efficiency.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted in this application is as follows:

[0006] In a first aspect, a testing apparatus is provided, comprising a frame, a first conveyor line disposed on the frame, a second conveyor line spaced apart from the first conveyor line, a testing structure for testing materials, and a material transfer structure disposed on the frame. Multiple first conveyor lines and testing structures are spaced apart along a first direction, and each testing structure corresponds one-to-one with each of the first conveyor lines. The frame has a loading station and a first unloading station on opposite sides along a second direction, the first direction and the second direction being angled. The first conveyor line receives the materials at the loading station, conveys the materials to the testing structure, and receives the tested materials from the testing structure. The material transfer structure transfers the unqualified materials from the first conveyor line to the second conveyor line. The first conveyor line unloads the qualified materials to the first unloading station.

[0007] In some embodiments, a second unloading station is provided on one side of the frame. The second unloading station and the loading station are located on the same side of the frame opposite to the frame. The second conveyor line unloads the material that fails the inspection at the second unloading station.

[0008] In some embodiments, the first conveyor line and the second conveyor line extend along the second direction, and the first direction is perpendicular to the second direction.

[0009] In some embodiments, the first unloading station is provided with a plurality of discharge connection structures, which are used to connect with the first conveyor line. The discharge connection structures are arranged at intervals along the first direction, and each discharge connection structure corresponds to each of the first conveyor lines.

[0010] In some embodiments, the material transfer structure includes a linear moving mechanism and a flipping mechanism slidably disposed on the linear moving mechanism. The linear moving mechanism is disposed across the first conveyor line and the second conveyor line. The linear moving mechanism is used to drive the flipping mechanism to move along the first direction. The flipping mechanism is used to pick up the material and drive the material to rotate around a preset axis. The preset axis is perpendicular to the plane containing the first direction and the second direction.

[0011] In some embodiments, the flipping mechanism includes a support plate slidably connected to the linear motion mechanism, a rotary driver connected to the support plate, and a gripping mechanism connected to the rotary driver and used to grip the material. The rotary driver is used to drive the gripping mechanism to rotate around the preset axis by a preset angle.

[0012] In some embodiments, the gripping mechanism includes a clamping driver connected to the rotation output end of the rotary driver and a clamping arm connected to the output end of the clamping driver. Two clamping arms are spaced apart, and a clamping space for clamping the material is formed between the two clamping arms. The clamping driver is used to drive the two clamping arms to move towards each other or away from each other.

[0013] In some embodiments, the material transfer structure further includes a lifting drive mechanism slidably connected to the linear motion mechanism, the support plate is connected to the lifting drive mechanism, and the lifting drive mechanism is used to drive the support plate to move up and down in the vertical direction.

[0014] In some embodiments, the testing apparatus further includes a control system, wherein the first conveyor line, the second conveyor line, the testing structure, and the material transfer structure are all communicatively connected to the control system.

[0015] Secondly, a terminal equipment production line is provided, which includes the testing device described above.

[0016] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: When the testing device of this application is in use, the first conveyor line can transfer the material on the loading station to the testing structure for testing. After the testing is completed, the first conveyor line receives the tested material. At this time, the material transfer structure transfers the unqualified material from the first conveyor line to the second conveyor line, and the first conveyor line discharges the qualified material at the first unloading station. Thus, the testing device of this application can automatically transfer qualified and unqualified materials to different positions to facilitate subsequent material processing, which is conducive to improving production efficiency. Moreover, the whole process does not require manual assistance and automatically performs loading and unloading, which greatly improves the material conveying efficiency. Furthermore, multiple feeding channels can be formed between the loading station and the first unloading station, which improves the utilization rate of the equipment, eliminates production interruptions, and enables the production line to operate continuously, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 3This application provides a testing device, including a frame 50, a first conveyor line 10 disposed on the frame 50, a second conveyor line 20 spaced apart from the first conveyor line 10, a test structure 40 disposed on the conveying path of the first conveyor line 10 for detecting material 200, and a material transfer structure 30 disposed on the frame 50. Multiple first conveyor lines 10 are spaced apart along a first direction, and multiple test structures 40 are spaced apart along the first direction, with each test structure 40 corresponding one-to-one with each first conveyor line 10. The frame 50 is positioned relative to each other along a second direction. A loading station 300 and a first unloading station 400 are respectively set on both sides, and the first direction and the second direction are set at an angle. The first conveyor line 10 receives material 200 at the loading station 300. The first conveyor line 10 is used to convey material 200 to the test structure 40 and to receive material 200 that has completed testing from the test structure 40. The transfer structure 30 is used to transfer material 200 that fails the test from the first conveyor line 10 to the second conveyor line 20. The first conveyor line 10 unloads material 200 that has passed the test at the first unloading station 400.

[0028] It should be noted that the material 200 provided in this application embodiment is mainly a mobile phone or other terminal device, and the testing structure is mainly used to test the mobile phone or other terminal device. Understandably, the testing structure 40 is located on the conveying path of the first conveyor line 10, specifically above the conveying surface of the first conveyor line 10. The material 200 on the first conveyor line 10 is lifted to the testing structure 40 by a lifting structure or similar means, or the tested material 200 is returned to the first conveyor line 10, thereby ensuring that the first conveyor line 10 can properly connect with the testing structure 40.

[0029] Understandably, the loading station 300 is used to load the material 200, and the loading station 300 can be connected to a transfer trolley or a robotic arm, etc. The first conveyor line 10 can transfer the material 200 on the loading station 300 to the testing structure for testing. After the testing is completed, according to the test results, the transfer structure 30 transfers the unqualified material 200 from the first conveyor line 10 to the second conveyor line 20, while the first conveyor line 10 unloads the qualified material 200 at the first unloading station 400. Thus, the testing device of this application can screen the qualified material 200 and the unqualified material 200 on the material 200 on the loading station 300 according to the test results, so as to facilitate the subsequent processing of the material 200. For example, the qualified material 200 can be transferred to another testing device for testing.

[0030] Understandably, both the first conveyor line 10 and the second conveyor line 20 can drive the material 200 forward. Optionally, the first conveyor line 10 and the second conveyor line 20 can be belt conveyor structures.

[0031] When the testing device of this application is in use, the first conveyor line 10 can transfer the material 200 on the loading station 300 to the testing structure 40 for testing. After the testing is completed, the first conveyor line 10 receives the tested material 200. At this time, the material transfer structure 30 transfers the unqualified material 200 from the first conveyor line 10 to the second conveyor line 20, and the first conveyor line 10 discharges the qualified material 200 at the first unloading station 400. Thus, the testing device of this application can automatically transfer qualified and unqualified materials 200 to different positions to facilitate subsequent material 200 processing, which is beneficial to improving production efficiency. Moreover, the whole process does not require manual assistance and automatically performs loading and unloading, which greatly improves the material 200 conveying efficiency. Furthermore, multiple feeding channels can be formed between the loading station 300 and the first unloading station 400, which improves the utilization rate of the equipment, eliminates production interruptions, and enables the production line to operate continuously, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0032] Understandably, this application also includes a control system (not shown in the figure). The first conveyor line 10, the second conveyor line 20, the material transfer structure 30, and the testing structure 40 are all communicatively connected to the control system. The control system can control the first conveyor line 10, the second conveyor line 20, the material transfer structure 30, and the testing structure to automatically coordinate and operate.

[0033] In some embodiments, a second unloading station 500 is also provided on one side of the frame 50. The second unloading station 500 and the loading station 300 are arranged on the same side of the frame 50. The second conveyor line 20 unloads the material 200 that fails the inspection at the second unloading station 500. By setting up the second conveyor line 20, the material 200 that fails the inspection can be returned separately. Specifically, the inlet end of the second conveyor line 20 is connected to the material transfer structure 30, and the outlet end of the second conveyor line 20 is connected to the second unloading station 500.

[0034] By connecting the feed end of the second conveyor line 20 to the transfer structure 30 and the discharge end of the second conveyor line 20 to the second unloading station 500, the feed end of the second conveyor line 20 receives the material 200 from the transfer structure 30 and conveys it to the second unloading station 500 for unloading. Since the second unloading station 500 and the loading station 300 are set on the same side of the frame 50, that is, the second unloading station 500 is set next to the loading station 300, and the distance between the second unloading station 500 and the loading station 300 is relatively close, it is convenient for the operator to simultaneously check the loading status of the loading station 300 and the unloading status of the second conveyor line 20.

[0035] In some implementations, the first conveyor line 10 and the second conveyor line 20 extend along a second direction, which is perpendicular to the second direction. Understandably, the first direction is parallel to the horizontal plane and perpendicular to the second direction; therefore, the conveying route and layout of the testing device of this application are more regular, and the structure of the testing device of this application is also more compact.

[0036] In some implementations, the first unloading station 400 is equipped with multiple discharge connection structures 60. These discharge connection structures 60 are used to connect with the first conveyor line 10. Multiple discharge connection structures 60 are arranged at intervals along a first direction, and each discharge connection structure 60 corresponds one-to-one with each of the first conveyor lines 10. By setting up the discharge connection structures 60, it is convenient to unload the material 200, and the discharge connection structures 60 can transfer the material 200 to other testing devices, etc., thus improving the efficiency of material 200 transfer.

[0037] Specifically, the first conveyor line 10, the second conveyor line 20, and the discharge connection structure 60 in the embodiments of this application can all be belt transmission structures. The belt transmission structure consists of a driving wheel, a driven wheel, and an annular belt tensioned on the two pulleys. Due to the tension, a clamping force is generated at the contact part between the belt and the pulley. When the driving wheel rotates, it drives the belt by friction, and the belt drives the driven wheel to rotate. Because the belt drive works by friction, it can effectively mitigate the impact of the load, and the operation is smooth and noiseless.

[0038] In some embodiments, the material transfer structure 30 includes a linear moving mechanism 31 and a flipping mechanism 32 slidably disposed on the linear moving mechanism 31. The linear moving mechanism 31 is disposed across the first conveyor line 10 and the second conveyor line 20. The linear moving mechanism 31 drives the flipping mechanism 32 to move along a first direction. The flipping mechanism 32 picks up the material 200 and drives the material 200 to rotate around a preset axis. The preset axis is perpendicular to the plane containing the first and second directions. Optionally, the linear moving mechanism 31 is an electric slide table or a linear motor, etc.

[0039] Understandably, material 200 includes mutually perpendicular long and short sides. To adapt to the test structure 40, when material 200 is conveyed on the first conveyor line 10, its short side is parallel to the extension direction of the first conveyor line 10. However, when material 200 is conveyed on the second conveyor line 20, its long side is parallel to the extension direction of the second conveyor line 20. Therefore, when the material transfer structure 30 transfers material 200 from the first conveyor line 10 to the second conveyor line 20, the material 200 needs to be rotated 90 degrees by the flipping mechanism 32. The flipping mechanism 32 quickly adjusts the placement of material 200, making the test device more intelligent.

[0040] In some embodiments, the flipping mechanism 32 includes a support plate 321 slidably connected to the linear motion mechanism 31, a rotary driver 322 connected to the support plate 321, and a gripping mechanism 323 connected to the rotary driver 322 and used to grip the material 200. The rotary driver 322 drives the gripping mechanism 323 to rotate around a preset axis by a preset angle. Understandably, if the preset axis is perpendicular to the plane containing the first and second directions, and the plane containing the first and second directions is a horizontal plane, then the preset axis extends vertically. Optionally, the rotary driver 322 is a rotary motor, a rotary cylinder, or a high-precision rotary platform, etc.

[0041] In some embodiments, the gripping mechanism 323 includes a clamping driver 3231 connected to the rotation output end of the rotary driver 322 and clamping arms 3232 connected to the output end of the clamping driver 3231. Two clamping arms 3232 are spaced apart, forming a clamping space between the two clamping arms 3232 for clamping the material 200. The clamping driver 3231 is used to drive the two clamping arms 3232 to move towards each other or away from each other. By using the clamping driver 3231 to drive the two clamping arms 3232 to move towards each other or away from each other, the material can be clamped or released. The clamping action is simple and can improve clamping efficiency.

[0042] Optionally, a buffer pad can be provided on the contact surface between the clamping arm 3232 and the material 200. The buffer pad is made of soft or flexible material, such as Teflon, engineering plastic or soft alloy, to avoid hard contact between the clamping arm 3232 and the material 200, thereby avoiding damage to the material 200.

[0043] In some embodiments, the material transfer structure 30 further includes a lifting drive mechanism 33 slidably connected to the linear motion mechanism 31. The support plate 321 is connected to the lifting drive mechanism 33, and the lifting drive mechanism 33 is used to drive the support plate 321 to rise and fall in the vertical direction. By setting the lifting drive mechanism 33 to drive the support plate 321 to rise and fall in the vertical direction, the movement range of the flipping mechanism 32 can be expanded. The height of the flipping mechanism 32 and the material 200 can be flexibly adjusted according to the distance between the flipping mechanism 32 and the conveying surface of the second conveyor line 20, so as to realize the smooth transfer of the material 200 to the second conveyor line 20.

[0044] This utility model also proposes a terminal equipment production line, which includes a testing device. The specific structure of the testing device is as described in the above embodiments. Since this terminal equipment production line adopts all the technical solutions of all the above embodiments, it also has all the beneficial effects brought about by the technical solutions of the above embodiments, which will not be described in detail here.

[0045] In summary, when the testing device of this application is in use, the first conveyor line 10 can transfer the material 200 on the loading station 300 to the testing structure 40 for testing. After the testing is completed, the first conveyor line 10 receives the tested material 200. At this time, the material transfer structure 30 transfers the unqualified material 200 from the first conveyor line 10 to the second conveyor line 20, and the first conveyor line 10 discharges the qualified material 200 at the first unloading station 400. Thus, the testing device of this application can automatically transfer qualified and unqualified materials 200 to different positions to facilitate subsequent material 200 processing, which is beneficial to improving production efficiency. Moreover, the whole process does not require manual assistance and automatically performs loading and unloading, which greatly improves the material 200 conveying efficiency. Furthermore, multiple feeding channels can be formed between the loading station 300 and the first unloading station 400, which improves the utilization rate of the equipment, eliminates production interruptions, and enables the production line to operate continuously, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0046] The above are merely optional embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit this application. Various modifications and variations can be made to this application by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the scope of the claims of this application.
