Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of PCB board processing technology, specifically to a PCB board flipping and conveying device and a PCB board processing apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] In the modern electronics manufacturing industry, printed circuit boards (PCBs) are core components of electronic products, and their processing quality directly affects the performance and reliability of these products. PCB processing typically involves multiple complex steps such as drilling, copper plating, electroplating, silkscreen printing, and surface mounting. Some steps require etching and wiring on the board surface, while others require soldering and assembling the terminals on the back of the board. This results in frequent transfer and flipping of PCBs during the processing.

[0003] Currently, the industry commonly uses traditional robotic arms as the execution equipment for PCB board transfer and flipping. To meet the processing requirements of multiple processes and multiple workstations, multiple robotic arms are often configured to handle different operations. For example, one robotic arm is used for horizontal transfer between board surface processing processes, while another robotic arm is dedicated to performing the flipping action before processing the back side of the board. This multi-robotic arm combination method has many drawbacks: First, the large number of devices leads to a significant increase in floor space, which greatly limits the space utilization rate of the production line in modern production workshops where space is at a premium, and also increases the difficulty of factory layout planning; Second, the connection and coordination between different robotic arms and the production line is complex. Due to the differences in the motion trajectory, positioning accuracy, and control logic of each robotic arm, problems such as speed mismatch with the line and signal transmission delays are prone to occur, leading to production rhythm disorder and affecting processing efficiency; Third, after each transfer or flip, the robotic arm needs to reposition and reconnect the PCB board. This process not only consumes a lot of time and reduces the production cycle, but the cumulative error introduced by multiple positioning will lead to a decrease in the processing accuracy of the PCB board, making it difficult to meet the high precision requirements of high-end electronic products.

[0004] As electronic products evolve towards miniaturization, high density, and high performance, higher standards are being set for PCB manufacturing precision and production efficiency. Traditional multi-robotics transfer and flipping solutions, due to their large space occupation, poor line adaptability, and cumbersome positioning, have become a bottleneck restricting the efficient development of the PCB manufacturing industry. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an integrated and efficient PCB transfer and flipping device to reduce the number of devices, optimize space layout, and achieve seamless integration with the production line, thereby improving the overall efficiency and quality of PCB manufacturing.

Detailed Implementation

[0025] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, so that those skilled in the art can better understand and implement the present invention. However, the embodiments are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0026] Example 1:

[0027] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a PCB board flipping and conveying device, which includes: an adjustment mechanism 100, which is installed on one side of the PCB board processing line and includes a sliding connection assembly 120; and a clamping mechanism 200, which includes a mounting frame 210, at least one conveying clamping assembly 220, and at least one flipping clamping assembly 230. The mounting frame 210 is connected to the sliding connection assembly 120 and moves horizontally and / or vertically through the sliding connection assembly 120. The mounting frame 210 extends along the conveying direction of the PCB board processing line. The multiple conveying clamping assemblies 220 and the multiple flipping clamping assemblies 230 are also included. The 30 components are respectively connected to the mounting bracket 210 and are spaced apart along the length of the mounting bracket 210 to correspond to multiple processing stations on the PCB board processing line. The transfer clamping assembly 220 includes at least two first opening and closing grippers 222, which can move relatively closer to or further away from each other. The flipping clamping assembly 230 includes a rotary driver 232 and at least two second opening and closing grippers 233, which are connected to the working end of the rotary driver 232 to rotate around the rotation center line 1001. The at least two second opening and closing grippers 233 can move relatively closer to or further away from each other.

[0028] The PCB board flipping and conveying equipment described in this embodiment uses an adjusting mechanism 100 to drive the clamping mechanism 200 to move in three dimensions on one side of the production line. When different processing is required on the same side of the PCB board, the conveying clamping component 220 can clamp and move the PCB board to be processed between two workstations. When different processing is required on both sides of the PCB board, the flipping clamping component 230 can clamp and move the PCB board to be processed by flipping it over. This allows it to adapt to the needs of different processing workstations on the production line. Compared with current conveying technologies, this application has advantages such as high compatibility with the production line, strong compatibility, rich functionality, ease of operation, strong controllability, high docking accuracy, and high conveying efficiency.

[0029] It should be noted that, for ease of description, in this embodiment, the length direction of the PCB board flipping and conveying device is defined as the first direction X, the width direction of the PCB board flipping and conveying device is defined as the second direction Y, and the height direction of the PCB board flipping and conveying device is defined as the third direction Z. The first direction X, the second direction Y, and the third direction Z are arranged perpendicular to each other in pairs, and the first direction X and the second direction Y are located in the same plane.

[0030] In this embodiment, the adjustment mechanism 100 serves two purposes: firstly, to connect the clamping mechanism 200 to the PCB board processing line; and secondly, to provide a movable connection platform for the clamping mechanism 200. Specifically, the adjustment mechanism 100 in this embodiment includes a first horizontal drive assembly 110, which is disposed on one side of the PCB board processing line. The first horizontal drive assembly 110 includes a first horizontal module 111, a horizontal guide rail 113, and a first horizontal driver 112. Both the first horizontal module 111 and the horizontal guide rail 113 extend along a first direction X and are spaced apart along a second direction Y. The first horizontal driver 112 is connected to the first horizontal module 111. The sliding connection assembly 120 is slidably connected to the first horizontal module 111 and the horizontal guide rail 113 via the first horizontal driver 112. Preferably, the first horizontal driver 112 is a drive motor. Under the driving action of the first horizontal driver 112, the sliding connection assembly 120 can precisely adjust its actual working position along the first direction X.

[0031] In this embodiment, the sliding connection assembly 120 is used to connect and install the clamping mechanism 200. It includes a first sliding plate 121, a second sliding plate 122, and a vertical mounting plate 123. The first sliding plate 121 can move relative to the PCB board processing line along a first direction X. The second sliding plate 122 is disposed on the first sliding plate 121 and can move relative to the first sliding plate 121 along a second direction Y. The vertical mounting plate 123 is connected to the middle of the second sliding plate 122 and is disposed perpendicular to the second sliding plate 122. The clamping mechanism 200 is slidably connected to the vertical mounting plate 123 and can move relative to the vertical mounting plate 123 along a third direction Z. Furthermore, the adjustment mechanism 100 in this embodiment also includes a second horizontal drive component 130. The second horizontal drive component 130 is disposed between the first slide plate 121 and the second slide plate 122. The second horizontal drive component 130 includes a second horizontal module 131 and a second horizontal driver 132. The second horizontal module 131 is fixed to the upper surface of the first slide plate 121 and extends along the second direction Y. The second horizontal driver 132 is disposed on the second horizontal module 131 to drive the second slide plate 122 to move along the second horizontal module 131. Based on this, the first slide plate 121 can drive the clamping mechanism 200 to move along the first direction X, and the second slide plate 122 can drive the clamping mechanism 200 to move along the second direction Y, thereby realizing flexible adjustment of the clamping mechanism 200 in the horizontal direction. Similarly, the second horizontal driver 132 in this embodiment is also preferably a linear motor.

[0032] In this embodiment, to improve the coordination between the equipment and various processing stations on the production line, the adjustment mechanism 100 further includes a lifting drive assembly 140. The lifting drive assembly 140 is connected to the vertical mounting plate 123 and includes a lifting driver 141 and at least one lifting module 142. The lifting driver 141 is disposed on the top of the vertical mounting plate 123, and at least one lifting module 142 is connected to the side of the vertical mounting plate 123 facing the PCB processing line and extends in the Z-direction. The mounting bracket 210 is connected to the lifting driver 141 and moves along the lifting module 142. Based on this, the transfer clamping assembly 220 can move vertically via the lifting drive assembly 140. In different embodiments, the type, quantity, and actual installation position of the first horizontal driver 112, the second horizontal driver 132, and the lifting driver 141 can be adaptively adjusted according to actual usage requirements. This utility model does not impose specific limitations in this regard.

[0033] Furthermore, in this embodiment, in order to improve the connection stability between the lifting drive assembly 140 and the mounting frame 210, the clamping mechanism 200 also includes a disassembly block 211 and two limiting blocks 212. The disassembly block 211 is disposed on the top of the mounting frame 210 and is detachably connected to the working end of the lifting drive 141. One end of the two limiting blocks 212 is connected to the mounting frame 210, and the other end extends toward the vertical mounting plate 123 and abuts against the side wall of the vertical mounting plate 123 in the second direction Y, thereby forming a restriction in the second direction Y along the movement direction of the mounting frame 210. In different embodiments, only one limiting block 212 may be provided on one side of the mounting frame 210 to reduce production costs, or multiple limiting blocks 212 may be provided on the mounting frame 210 to improve the stability of the mounting frame 210.

[0034] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment includes two flip-grip assemblies 230 and multiple transfer clamping assemblies 220. The two flip-grip assemblies 230 are connected to both ends of the mounting frame 210, and the multiple transfer clamping assemblies 220 are disposed between the two flip-grip assemblies 230 and evenly spaced along the first direction X. Specifically, the flip-grip assemblies 230 at both ends can flip the PCB board while transferring it, and are installed between two workstations that need to process opposite sides of the PCB board. Correspondingly, the multiple transfer clamping assemblies 220 in the middle are installed between two workstations that need to process the same side of the PCB board. Furthermore, in different embodiments, the actual number and arrangement of the transfer clamping assemblies 220 and the flip-grip assemblies 230 can be adaptively adjusted according to the actual production line requirements.

[0035] See Figure 3 As shown, the transfer clamping assembly 220 further includes a first connecting frame 221, and the first opening and closing grippers 222 are detachably connected to the mounting frame 210 via the first connecting frame 221. The two first opening and closing grippers 222 are driven by cylinders. Correspondingly, see [link to relevant documentation]. Figure 4 As shown, the flipping clamping assembly 230 further includes a second connecting frame 231. The second opening and closing grippers 233 are detachably connected to the mounting frame 210 via the second connecting frame 231. The rotary driver 232 is preferably a rotary motor, which can drive the two second opening and closing grippers 233 to rotate around the rotation center line 1001. The two second opening and closing grippers 233 are also configured to open and close via a cylinder. Specifically, in this embodiment, the rotation center line 1001 is located at the center of the two grippers and extends along the second direction Y.

[0036] The PCB board flipping and conveying device in this embodiment also includes a control mechanism, with the adjustment mechanism 100 and the clamping mechanism 200 respectively connected to the control mechanism. In actual production and processing, operators can use the control mechanism to adjust the above structure in real time, thereby improving the flexibility of the equipment. Parameters can also be preset through the control mechanism, thereby improving the automation level of the equipment.

[0037] Example 2:

[0039] In summary, the PCB board flipping and conveying equipment and PCB board processing device described in this utility model, through the adjustment mechanism 100 driving the clamping mechanism 200 to move in three dimensions on one side of the production line, allows for different processing of the same side of the PCB board when different processing is required. The conveying clamping component 220 can clamp and move the PCB board to be processed between two workstations. When different processing is required on both sides of the PCB board, the flipping clamping component 230 can clamp and move the PCB board to be processed by flipping it over. This adapts to the needs of different processing workstations on the production line. Compared to current conveying technologies, this application offers advantages such as high compatibility with the production line, strong compatibility, rich functionality, ease of operation, strong controllability, high docking accuracy, and high conveying efficiency.
