Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the technical field of automated equipment, and in particular relates to an RF testing device for PCBA products. Background Technology
[0002] Testing equipment refers to various instruments, tools, or devices that are computer-controlled and automatically execute testing processes to detect, measure, and evaluate the performance, function, quality, and safety of products. Conventional testing equipment typically sends qualified and unqualified products together for centralized storage after completing testing and information registration. Subsequently, downstream repackaging equipment repackages the products according to their different characteristics based on the registered information. This results in cumbersome testing procedures and low efficiency for large-scale, long-term testing. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide an RF testing device for PCBA products to address the technical deficiencies described in the background section.
[0004] The aforementioned RF testing equipment for PCBA products includes a frame, on which a feeding conveyor belt, a handling mechanism, a testing station, an unloading conveyor belt, and an NG sorting conveyor belt are mounted. The handling mechanism is located at the end of the feeding conveyor belt, the beginning of the unloading conveyor belt, and the beginning of the NG sorting conveyor belt, so that the handling mechanism can transport the product to the testing station for testing, and after the product has completed testing, transport it to the unloading conveyor belt or the NG sorting conveyor belt for delivery according to the product's condition.
[0005] Based on the aforementioned technical solution, the present invention achieves the following beneficial effects:
[0006] When the feed conveyor belt transports the product to be tested to the end, the product moves to the working range of the handling mechanism. At this time, the handling mechanism transports the product to the testing station for testing. After the testing equipment in the testing station completes the test on the product, the handling mechanism takes out the product that has completed the test and receives the test result feedback from the testing station. If the test result of the testing equipment in the testing station is good, the handling mechanism places the product at the beginning of the discharge conveyor belt so that the discharge conveyor belt can send the product away. If the test result of the testing equipment in the testing station is bad, the handling mechanism places the product at the beginning of the NG classification conveyor belt so that the NG classification conveyor belt can send the product to another place for processing.
[0007] Therefore, the RF testing equipment for PCBA products described in this utility model, compared with the conventional testing equipment described in the background art, allows the testing equipment at the testing station to obtain the product's physical information based on the test results feedback after the product has been tested. This enables the product to be transported to the discharge conveyor belt or the NG sorting conveyor belt according to its volume, thereby classifying and sending the tested products away. This simplifies the post-processing steps for the tested products and also improves the efficiency when testing large batches of products over a long period of time.
[0008] To further optimize the above technical solutions, they can be combined with one or more of the following implementation methods without conflict.
[0009] In some embodiments, partitions are spaced above the NG sorting conveyor belt to form RF defect channels, product function defect channels, and current defect channels on the NG sorting conveyor belt. When the product is tested at the testing station and a defect is found, the handling mechanism can place the product into the RF defect channel, the product function defect channel, or the current defect channel according to the defect category and send it away.
[0010] Based on the aforementioned technical solution, when the transport mechanism removes a product with a defective result from the testing station, it places the product in the corresponding RF defect channel, product function defect channel, or current defect channel according to the test results fed back from the testing station and sends it away. Therefore, the defective products are further classified, thereby further simplifying the post-processing procedures for the tested products and improving the efficiency of processing the tested products.
[0011] In some embodiments, baffles are installed on the NG sorting conveyor belt at the ends of the RF defect channel, the product function defect channel, and the current defect channel;
[0012] Based on the aforementioned technical solution, when products are delivered to the end in RF faulty channels, product function faulty channels, and current faulty channels, the products can be temporarily held in a specific location so that backend equipment can move, store, or process these products.
[0013] In some embodiments, a vision system is mounted on the frame at the end of the feed conveyor belt to pre-position and register information before the handling mechanism picks up the product from the feed conveyor belt;
[0014] Based on the aforementioned technical solution, the conveying mechanism can grip the product more stably, and when gripping the product, it only contacts the characteristic parts of the product, thereby reducing wear on the product.
[0015] In some embodiments, the rack is provided with at least two of the test stations, so that while a product is being tested at one of the test stations, the transport mechanism can transport another product to or remove it from the other test station.
[0016] Based on the aforementioned technical solution, the waiting time for the testing station to test the product is optimized during the process of the handling mechanism placing the product at the testing station, thereby further improving testing efficiency.
[0017] In some embodiments, the conveying mechanism includes a lifting module, a first rocker arm, a second rocker arm, and a suction plate. The lifting module drives a lifting block, which is connected to one end bearing of the first rocker arm via a first bearing. The lifting block is equipped with a first motor that is pulsatingly connected to the first bearing. The other end of the first rocker arm is connected to one end bearing of the second rocker arm via a second bearing. The first rocker arm is equipped with a second motor that is pulsatingly connected to the second bearing. The other end of the second rocker arm is connected to the suction plate bearing via a third bearing. The second rocker arm is equipped with a third motor that is pulsatingly connected to the third bearing. The suction plate is provided with a suction nozzle for adsorbing products.
[0018] Based on the aforementioned technical solution, when the lifting module drives the lifting block, it can cause the suction plate to rise and fall, thereby adjusting the height of the suction nozzle. In addition, the first motor drives the first bearing to swing the first rocker arm, the second motor drives the second bearing to swing the second rocker arm, and the third motor drives the third bearing to swing the suction plate, thereby adjusting the horizontal and vertical positions of the suction nozzle, so that the suction nozzle can adsorb and lift the product and place it in different target positions.

Detailed Implementation
[0026] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, this specific embodiment will be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0027] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown in the figure, this specific embodiment provides an RF testing device for PCBA products, which includes a frame 1, and the frame 1 is equipped with a feeding conveyor belt 2, a handling mechanism 3, a vision system 7, a testing station 4, an unloading conveyor belt 5, and an NG sorting conveyor belt 6.
[0028] The conveying mechanism 3 is located at the end of the feeding conveyor belt 2, the beginning of the discharging conveyor belt 5, and the beginning of the NG sorting conveyor belt 6. The conveying mechanism 3 includes a lifting module 31, a first rocker arm 33, a second rocker arm 34, and a suction plate 35. The lifting module 31 is driven by a lifting block 32. The lifting block 32 is connected to one end of the first rocker arm 33 via a first bearing. The lifting block 32 is equipped with a first motor that is driven by the first bearing. The other end of the first rocker arm 33 is connected to one end of the second rocker arm 34 via a second bearing. The first rocker arm 33 is equipped with a second motor that is driven by the second bearing. The other end of the second rocker arm 34 is connected to the suction plate 35 via a third bearing. The second rocker arm 34 is equipped with a third motor that is driven by the third bearing. The suction plate 35 is provided with a suction nozzle for adsorbing products.
[0029] The vision system 7 is located at the end of the feed conveyor belt 2. Before the handling mechanism 3 picks up the product from the feed conveyor belt 2, the vision system is used to locate and register information about the product. The hardware of the vision system 7 includes a conventional vision camera. Figure 1 and 4 The indicated vision system 7 is the aforementioned vision camera.
[0030] The rack 1 is provided with at least two test stations 4, so that when a product is being tested at one of the test stations 4, the transport mechanism 3 can transport another product to or remove it from the other test station 4.
[0031] The NG sorting conveyor belt 6 is provided with partitions 61 spaced apart above it, so that the NG sorting conveyor belt 6 forms RF defect channel 62, product function defect channel 63 and current defect channel 64. The NG sorting conveyor belt 6 is equipped with baffles 65 located at the ends of the RF defect channel 62, product function defect channel 63 and current defect channel 64.
[0032] The following is a description of the operation of an RF testing device for PCBA products as described in this specific embodiment.
[0033] When the feed conveyor belt 2 transports the product to be tested to its end, the product moves into the working range of the vision system 7 and the handling mechanism 3. The vision system pre-positions and registers information about the product. Subsequently, the handling mechanism 3, based on the positioning information from the vision system 7, picks up the product and transports it to the testing station 4. The testing equipment at the testing station 4 then performs the test on the product. While the product is being tested at one of the testing stations 4, the handling mechanism 3 repeats the above steps to transport another product to another testing station 4 or to remove another product that has completed testing from another testing station 4. After the transport mechanism 3 removes the tested product from the testing station 4, it receives the test results from the testing station 4. If the test result from the testing equipment in the testing station 4 is "good," the transport mechanism 3 places the product at the beginning of the discharge conveyor belt 5 for transport. If the test result from the testing equipment in the testing station 4 is "bad," the transport mechanism 3, based on the test result from the testing station 4, places the product in the corresponding RF defect channel 62, product function defect channel 63, or current defect channel 64 for transport. When the product is transported to the end of the RF defect channel 62, product function defect channel 63, or current defect channel 64, the baffle 65 can temporarily hold the product at the end position to facilitate the transport, storage, or processing of these products by the downstream equipment.
[0034] When the conveying mechanism 3 takes the product out of the feeding conveyor belt 2 and places it in the testing station 4, or takes the product out of the testing station 4 and places it in the discharge conveyor belt 5 or the NG classification conveyor belt 6, the lifting module 31 drives the lifting block 32 to drive the suction plate 35 to lift and lower, so as to adjust the height of the suction nozzle. The first motor drives the first bearing to drive the first rocker arm 33 to swing, the second motor drives the second bearing to drive the second rocker arm 34 to swing, and the third motor drives the third bearing to drive the suction plate 35 to swing, thereby adjusting the horizontal and vertical position of the suction nozzle, so that the suction nozzle can adsorb and lift the product and place it in different target positions.
[0035] The above products can be PCBAs with RF functionality.
