[0020] The present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0021] Example: An automated tray-packing device for electronic components includes a machine base 1, a tray loading assembly 4 mounted on the machine base 1, a tray synchronous belt conveyor 8 mounted on the machine base 1, a tray dispensing assembly 7 mounted on the machine base 1, a tray transfer assembly 6 mounted on the machine base 1, a multi-axis robot 3 mounted on the machine base 1, and a tray transfer assembly 5 mounted on the machine base 1. The machine base 1 is equipped with multiple parallel tray synchronous belt conveyors 8. The tray distribution assembly 7 spans multiple synchronous conveyor lines 8 for the trays. The multi-axis robot 3 is equipped with a component vacuum suction cup 30 for picking up electronic components. The tray transfer assembly 5 includes a transfer translation linear module 50, a transfer lifting linear module 53 disposed on the transfer translation linear module 50, a tray transfer vacuum suction cup 51 disposed on the transfer lifting linear module 53, and a barcode scanner 52 disposed on the side of the tray transfer vacuum suction cup 51. The tray transfer... The translation path of the vacuum suction cup 51 spans the loading end of the tray loading assembly 4 and the tray transfer assembly 6; the tray transfer assembly 6 includes a tray transfer synchronous belt conveyor 60 and a tray buffer assembly 61 disposed in the middle of the tray transfer synchronous belt conveyor 60; the tray dispensing assembly 7 includes a dispensing translation linear module 72 disposed on the machine base 1, a dispensing lifting module 70 disposed on the dispensing translation linear module 72, and a dispensing lifting module 70 disposed on the dispensing lifting module 70. The dispensing vacuum suction cup 71; the tray loading assembly 4 includes a tray loading synchronous belt conveyor 40, tray guide bars 41 located on both sides of the tray loading synchronous belt conveyor 40, a tray lifting linear module 42 set at the end of the travel of the tray loading synchronous belt conveyor 40, and a tray lifting tray 43 set on the tray lifting linear module 42, the tray lifting tray 43 extending to the area below the tray loading synchronous belt conveyor 40 between the tray guide bars 41.

[0022] The above-mentioned material trays are recycled by transferring empty trays from the material tray loading component 4 to the material tray synchronous belt conveyor line 8 via the material tray transfer component 6. The material tray buffer component 61 facilitates material tray buffering and ensures sufficient material tray supply. The barcode scanner 52 facilitates the identification and recording of electronic components in the material trays of the material tray loading component 4. Then, the multi-axis robot 3 is used to transfer the products from the material tray loading component 4 to the corresponding material trays on the material tray synchronous belt conveyor line 8, realizing automatic classification and tray placement of electronic components and improving efficiency.

[0023] To facilitate stacked buffering of material trays, save space, and simplify tray buffering, the material tray buffering assembly 61 includes a lifting assembly 612 located below the material tray transfer synchronous belt conveyor 60, a material tray lifting guide frame 613 located on the material tray transfer synchronous belt conveyor 60, and a material tray storage cylinder 610 located at the bottom side of the material tray lifting guide frame 613. The material tray lifting guide frame 613 has a material tray storage channel for accommodating material trays, and the material tray storage cylinder 610 has a storage claw 611 that penetrates the material tray storage channel when extended. To improve execution efficiency, the lifting assembly 612 consists of a lifting cylinder 6121 and a lifting tray 6120.

[0024] To facilitate the material tray distribution component 7 in grabbing empty material trays, the discharge end of the material tray transfer synchronous belt conveyor 60 is provided with a transfer discharge blocking cylinder 62, and the transfer discharge blocking cylinder 62 is provided with a transfer blocking head 63 that intrudes into the running path of the material tray transfer synchronous belt conveyor 60 when it extends.

[0025] In order to facilitate the multi-axis robot 3 to place electronic components into the material tray on the material tray synchronous belt conveyor line 8 and to avoid interference between the multi-axis robot 3 and the material tray distribution component 7, the material tray synchronous belt conveyor line 8 is provided with limit blocking cylinders 82 at both ends. The limit blocking cylinders 82 are provided with limit heads 81 that intrude into the running path of the material tray synchronous belt conveyor line 8 when they extend.

[0026] To further enhance the electronic components, a secondary positioning stage 9 is also included, with a positioning pin 90 on the top of the secondary positioning stage for positioning the electronic components.

[0027] To facilitate the collection of defective products, an NG tray 2 is also included, which is set on the machine 1.

[0028] During operation, trays filled with electronic components are stacked on the synchronous conveyor belt for loading. The trays are then transported above a tray lifting pallet, which lifts the trays to a designated position. A tray transfer assembly moves above the trays and scans the electronic components on them with a barcode scanner. Subsequently, a vacuum suction cup on the tray transfer mechanism exits from above the trays. Based on the barcode data from the scanner, the component vacuum suction cup on the multi-axis robotic arm transfers the corresponding electronic components to a secondary positioning stage for secondary positioning. Finally, the electronic components are transferred to empty trays on the corresponding synchronous conveyor belt. When the top tray of the tray loading assembly is emptied, the tray transfer vacuum suction cup transfers the empty tray to the loading end of the tray transfer synchronous belt conveyor 60. The tray transfer synchronous belt conveyor 60 transfers the empty tray to the buffer position of the tray buffer assembly 61. The lifting assembly 612 lifts the empty tray upwards, and then the register claw 611 retracts. The lifting assembly 612 continues to lift the empty tray upwards. When the bottom of the bottom empty tray is higher than the register claw 611, the register claw 611 extends, the lifting assembly 612 descends to the initial position, and the empty tray is placed on the register claw 611. When the material tray synchronous belt conveyor line is short of empty trays, the lifting component 612 rises to lift the empty tray, and the storage claw 611 retracts. The lifting component 612 descends until the top of the lowest empty tray is aligned with the storage claw 611, at which point the storage claw 611 extends, separating the bottom empty tray from the others. The lifting component 612 continues to descend until the empty tray is placed on the material tray transfer synchronous belt conveyor line 60. Subsequently, the material tray transfer synchronous belt conveyor line 60 moves the empty tray to the discharge end, and the distribution vacuum suction cup 71 transfers the empty tray to the designated material tray synchronous belt conveyor line. During the process of transferring products to the empty trays on the material tray synchronous belt conveyor line, the travel of the empty tray is limited by a limiting cylinder, ensuring that the products placed in the empty tray are always in the same area.

[0029] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
