Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of box return technology, and in particular relates to an empty box return mechanism based on drill bit sorting. Background Technology

[0002] PCB boards often require pre-drilled holes for different components, and these holes need to accommodate different components, resulting in varying hole diameters that necessitate the use of different drill bits. In existing technologies, typical drill bit sorting equipment holds and positions several different types of raw material needle boxes within its tool magazine. After a drill bit is extracted from a raw material needle box, it becomes an empty needle box. The extracted drill bit is then placed into another empty needle box, forming a loading needle box. The loading needle box holds different drill bits as needed, and once full, it flows to the output position. Empty needle boxes are typically returned to the tool magazine automatically or flow out from the side, awaiting operator removal and repositioning. This process increases equipment downtime by at least 30%, especially when the production line frequently switches between multiple drill bit specifications. The needle box recycling and reloading cycle significantly reduces equipment efficiency and increases labor costs. Utility Model Content

It includes a frame 100, a vertical storage bin 200, an empty input module 300, a conveying module 400, an execution module 500, and a transfer module 600. A tool magazine 110 is located on one side of the frame 100; the tool magazine 110 contains fully loaded needle boxes. The vertical storage bin 200 includes a storage frame 210 and a lifting mechanism 220. The storage frame 210 is embedded in the frame 100, with its upward-opening end extending beyond the frame 100. The storage frame 210 stores several empty needle boxes. A connecting platform 230 is connected to the lifting mechanism 220, allowing it to push the empty needle boxes up and down within the storage frame 210. The empty input module 300 is located on one side of the vertical storage bin 200, with one end close to the manual input area, and is used to transport empty needle boxes. The carrying and conveying module 400 is located on one side of the unloaded input module 300, with one end connected to the tool magazine 110 and the other end connected to the execution module 500. The execution module 500 is movably mounted on the frame 100 and can reach four sequentially arranged positioning points on the frame 100: loading position 120, matching position 130, needle matching position 140, and output position 150. The execution module 500 is used to move the drill bits in the full needle box in the tool magazine 110 to the unloaded needle box to form a feeding needle box.

[0042] The transplanting module 600 is mounted on the frame 100 and is used to grab empty needle boxes from the carrying and conveying module 400, the empty input module 300 and the vertical storage bin 200 and place them on the execution module 500.

[0043] Specifically, in this technology, the full needle box of the tool magazine 110 is moved to the side near the loading position 120 by the carrying and conveying module 400. The transfer module 600 grabs the full needle box and places it on the loading position 120. When the execution module 500 starts to operate, the full needle box of the loading position 120 is pushed to the matching position 130, and the drill bits in the full needle box of the loading position 120 are moved to the empty needle box of the matching position 140. After the empty needle box is assembled, it forms a loading needle box. Finally, driven by the execution module 500, the loading needle box is moved to the output position 150, and the loading needle box with different types of drill bits is manually removed. At this time, there are no extra empty needle boxes at the matching position 140, and the operator has three options for the return of empty needle boxes:

[0044] 1. The operator stands in the manual input area, inserts a new empty needle box from one end of the empty input module 300, and stops it from the other end. The transfer module 600 picks up the empty needle box and places it in the needle fitting position 140 for use by the execution module 500.

[0045] 2. The vertical storage compartment 200 contains multiple empty needle boxes. Under signal drive, the connecting table 230 ejects the empty needle boxes one by one. The transfer module 600 picks up the empty needle boxes and places them in the needle fitting position 140 for use by the execution module 500.

[0046] 3. After the full needle box is used up, an empty needle box is formed. The transfer module 600 picks up the empty needle box and places it on the carrier conveyor module 400. The carrier conveyor module 400 transports it to the side near the needle distribution position 140. The transfer module 600 picks up the empty needle box and places it in the needle distribution position 140 for use by the execution module 500.

[0047] The transplanting module 600 and the execution module 500 work together to achieve parallel processing of drill bit sorting and needle box recycling, saving time and improving production efficiency.

[0048] Furthermore, such as Figure 4 As shown, the lowering mechanism includes a lifting motor 221 and a support plate 222. One side of the storage frame 210 is connected to the support plate 222. The upper and lower sides of the support plate 222 are respectively equipped with the lifting motor 221 and a connecting seat. The drive end of the lifting motor 221 is connected to the connecting seat via a belt 260. A connecting platform 230 is divided into a first connecting part 240 and a second connecting part 250. The first connecting part 240 is synchronously connected to the belt 260, and the second connecting part 250 pushes the empty needle box up and down within the storage frame 210. Specifically, when the vertical storage compartment 200 needs to store an empty needle box: the lifting motor 221 drives the connecting seat down via the belt 260, and the second connecting part 250 presses down and stacks within the storage frame 210, forming a new storage space. When the bottom needle box needs to be retrieved, the lifting motor 221 reverses, causing the support plate 222 to rise, and the second connecting part 250 lifts the entire needle box. When the top needle box reaches the opening, the first connecting part 240 pushes it out horizontally. The purpose of the vertical storage station is to provide an additional input / output method for the empty needle box, thus compensating for the lack of empty needle boxes.

[0049] Furthermore, such as Figure 2 As shown, the unloaded input module 300 includes a conveyor motor 310, a conveyor belt 320, and a conveyor mounting plate 330. The conveyor motor 310 is connected to one side of the conveyor mounting plate 330, which is mounted on the frame 100. The conveyor motor 310 drives the conveyor belt 320 located on the conveyor mounting plate 330 to rotate. Specifically, the operator stands in the manual input area, inserts a new unloaded needle box from one end of the unloaded input module 300, and stops it from the other end. The transfer module 600 picks up the unloaded needle box and places it in the needle dispensing position 140 for use by the execution module 500.

[0050] Furthermore, such as Figure 2As shown, the conveying module 400 includes a first drive module 410 and a second drive module 420, which are distributed in parallel on the frame 100.

The second drive module 420 includes a second motor 430, a second conveyor belt 440, and a second mounting plate 450. The second motor 430 is connected to one side of the second mounting plate 450 on the frame 100, and the second motor 430 drives the second conveyor belt 440 located on the second mounting plate 450 to rotate. Specifically, the first drive module 410 is responsible for inputting the full-load needle box that needs to be replenished into the tool magazine 110. The second drive module 420 drives in the forward direction and is responsible for outputting the full-load needle box that needs to be specified from the tool magazine 110. At the same time, the second drive module 420 drives in the reverse direction and is responsible for transporting the empty needle box. It moves the empty needle box to one end near the needle fitting position 140, where it is picked up by the transfer module 600 and moved to the execution module 500 for use.

[0051] Furthermore, such as Figure 3 As shown, the execution module 500 includes a needle dispensing module 510 and a front needle-to-dispense moving module 520 and a rear needle-to-dispense moving module 530, both mounted on the frame 100.

Specifically, the front needle-to-dispense moving module 520 and the rear needle-to-dispense moving module 530 serve as transport stations for needle box driving. A full needle box is moved to the side near the loading position 120 by the carrying and conveying module 400, and the transfer module 600 grabs the full needle box and places it on the loading position 120. The front needle-to-dispense moving module 520 moves the full needle box on the loading position 120 to the needle-to-dispense position 130. The needle-feeding module 510 moves back and forth between the needle-feeding position 130 and the needle-feeding position 140. Its purpose is to grab the drill bits from the fully loaded needle box on the needle-feeding position 130 and place them on the empty needle box on the needle-feeding position 140 according to the corresponding command. After the empty needle box is assembled, a feeding needle box with different types of drill bits is formed.
