Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of copper product manufacturing technology, and in particular relates to an automated dispensing line. Background Technology
[0002] Copper has excellent electrical conductivity and is economical, so it is often used in electronic products as a conductor for electrical signals. As technology advances, electronic products are becoming smaller and smaller, and the internal copper components are also becoming smaller and smaller. Some copper components are only a few millimeters in size, and the shapes of copper components vary. Direct one-piece processing is very troublesome and inexpensive, so they are often processed separately and then spliced together by welding or glue. However, since the copper components are already very small, they are even smaller after being separated. Manual operation requires the use of tweezers, which is very cumbersome and has low production efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0004] An automated dispensing line includes a positioning unit, a first feeding unit, a second feeding unit, a dispensing unit, and a receiving unit, with each unit connected in series via a transfer unit;
[0005] The transfer unit includes a first transfer line and a second transfer line, and a third transfer line is provided at both ends of the first transfer line and the second transfer line respectively. The third transfer line is used to transport materials between the first transfer line and the second transfer line to form a cycle.
[0006] The positioning unit includes a positioning frame and a feeding frame assembly mounted on the positioning frame. A fixture tray is placed between the feeding frame assemblies. The positioning frame is also provided with a positioning component, which is used to position the fixture on the transfer unit.
[0007] The first feeding unit includes a first feeding frame, a first clamping assembly and a first feeding tray mounted on the first feeding frame, wherein the first clamping assembly clamps parts from the first feeding tray and places them into a fixture tray on the transfer unit;
[0008] The second feeding unit includes a second feeding frame, a second clamping assembly and a second feeding tray mounted on the second feeding frame, wherein the second clamping assembly clamps parts from the second feeding tray and places them into a fixture tray on the transfer unit;
[0009] The dispensing unit includes a dispensing frame and a dispensing assembly and a fixture feeder mounted on the dispensing frame. The dispensing assembly can place the fixture tray on the fixture feeder onto the transfer unit and dispense the adhesive.
[0010] Furthermore, the receiving unit includes a receiving frame installed on the third transfer line and a receiving frame installed on the receiving frame. The receiving frame is also provided with a plurality of first pneumatic components, which are used to position the fixture disc located in the receiving frame.
[0011] Furthermore, the positioning component includes a second pneumatic element disposed below the first flow line and a third pneumatic element disposed above the first flow line. The second pneumatic element pushes the fixture disc out toward the third pneumatic element, and the third pneumatic element presses down to position the fixture disc.
[0012] Furthermore, the feeding frame assembly includes a plurality of fourth and fifth pneumatic components mounted on the positioning frame. The fourth pneumatic components are used to position the jig disc in the feeding frame, and the fifth pneumatic components are used to push the jig disc upward.
[0013] Furthermore, the fixture feeder includes a first motor mounted on the dispensing machine frame and a material tray disposed at the output end of the first motor. The material tray is provided with several sets of frames, and the fixture tray is stacked in the frames. The first motor rotates the material tray to switch between different frames.
[0014] Furthermore, the first clamping assembly includes a moving module for X-axis and Y-axis movement and a second motor mounted on the moving module. The output end of the second motor is connected to a suction head for adsorbing parts. The suction head is also connected to a third motor, which is used to drive the suction head to rotate.
[0015] Furthermore, the first feeding tray includes a mounting plate and a vibrating plate and a feeding line mounted on the mounting plate, wherein the discharge port of the vibrating plate is connected to the feeding line.
[0016] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0017] This invention utilizes multiple feeding units to assemble each component into a fixture, followed by glue application. After glue application, the copper components rotate around the production line to cool down, and finally are stacked and arranged in the receiving unit. No manual intervention is required, which improves production efficiency and yield. Attached Figure Description
