Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of barcode scanning device technology, and in particular to an automatic barcode scanning device for SMT online panelization. Background Technology

[0002] In-line panelization in surface mount technology (SMT) refers to the technique of assembling multiple small PCBs into a larger panel for processing during SMT production. The main purpose of in-line panelization in SMT is to solve the problem of small PCBs not meeting the requirements of production equipment fixtures due to insufficient size. By panelizing, batch processing can be achieved, improving efficiency and reducing raw material waste.

[0003] In the SMT online panelization process, PCBs coming out of the SMT production line enter the collection rack, and then the experimenters take the PCBs out of the rack and place them under the camera for scanning and binding. This method is wasteful of manpower and inefficient. In addition, as multiple PCBs enter the collection rack, manual handling can easily lead to problems such as missing scanning. Utility Model Content

[0004] This utility model provides an online SMT panel automatic barcode scanning device, which performs online barcode scanning and binding on the SMT production line, eliminating the need for manual removal of materials from the rack for scanning and binding, thus saving manpower. Furthermore, the automatic execution by the machine eliminates the problem of missed scanning.

[0005] This utility model provides an SMT online panel automatic barcode scanning device, which includes a connecting platform conveyor line, and a first sensor, a barcode scanner bracket assembly, a blocking cylinder and a second sensor are sequentially arranged along the conveying direction of the connecting platform conveyor line.

[0006] The PCB board is conveyed along the connecting platform conveyor line. The first sensor is triggered, and the barcode scanner bracket assembly is activated to scan and upload the barcode to the system.

[0007] By adopting the above technical solution, the PCB board flows out through the previous process of SMT online assembly and is transported along the conveyor line of the receiving platform. First, the first sensor is triggered, and the barcode scanner bracket assembly is activated to scan and upload the codes to the system. As the PCB board flows by, the barcode scanner scans and binds all the codes on the PCB board and uploads them to the MES system. This technical solution can solve the problems of labor waste and low efficiency caused by manually removing the PCB board from the rack and placing it under the camera for scanning and binding.

[0008] Furthermore, the aforementioned automatic barcode scanning device can eliminate the risk of errors and omissions that may occur during manual handling; in addition, for plates of different sizes and thicknesses, manual mechanical adjustment of the focus is required, while the barcode scanner bracket assembly can perform automatic focus adjustment.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the SMT online panel automatic barcode scanning device of this utility model, if the number of codes scanned by the barcode scanner bracket assembly is inconsistent with the set number, the second sensor is triggered, the blocking cylinder is pressed down, and the PCB board that has not been scanned is blocked and an alarm is issued.

[0010] When the number of codes scanned by the barcode scanner bracket assembly is inconsistent with the set number, it indicates that there are unscanned codes. The PCB board with unscanned codes triggers the second sensor, which blocks the cylinder from pressing down and blocking the PCB board that has not been fully scanned. At the same time, an alarm is sounded until the operator manually removes the board and resumes normal operation, repeating the above barcode scanning process.

[0011] By using the aforementioned second sensor and blocking cylinder, the risk of errors and omissions caused by manual handling can be better resolved. There is no need for people to take the materials out of the rack for scanning and binding, thus saving manpower.

[0012] As a preferred embodiment of the SMT online panel automatic barcode scanning device of this utility model, the barcode scanner bracket assembly includes a fixed base, an up-down adjustment rod and a barcode scanner.

[0013] The barcode scanner is slidably connected to the upper and lower adjustment rods.

[0014] This application replaces the manual operation of placing the barcode under the camera for fixed scanning with a barcode scanner on an assembly line for mobile scanning and uploading to the MES system, thus eliminating the risk of errors and omissions in manual handling and saving labor costs.

[0015] As a preferred embodiment of the SMT online panel automatic barcode scanning device of the present invention, the barcode scanner bracket assembly further includes an adapter block, a horizontal adjustment rod, and a vertical adjustment rod;

[0016] One end of the upper and lower adjusting rod is connected to the fixed base, the adapter block is slidably connected to the upper and lower adjusting rod, and the horizontal adjusting rod is slidably connected to the adapter block;

[0017] The horizontal adjusting rod and the vertical adjusting rod are slidably connected, and the barcode scanner is slidably connected to the vertical adjusting rod; the barcode scanner faces the conveyor line of the docking platform.

[0018] This application allows for better dynamic adjustment of the barcode scanner by adjusting the horizontal and vertical adjustment rods, enabling mobile barcode scanning and subsequent uploading to the MES system.

[0019] Preferably, the barcode scanner is a barcode scanner equipped with a liquid lens.

[0020] To address the shortcomings of requiring manual mechanical adjustment of cameras for PCBs with varying heights, this application employs a barcode scanner equipped with a liquid lens to achieve automatic focusing, reducing labor costs and increasing efficiency.

[0021] In a preferred embodiment of the SMT online panel automatic barcode scanning device of this utility model, the horizontal adjustment rod is perpendicular to the vertical adjustment rod.

[0022] In a preferred embodiment of the SMT online panel automatic barcode scanning device of this utility model, the horizontal adjustment rod is perpendicular to the vertical adjustment rod.

[0023] When the horizontal adjustment lever is perpendicular to the vertical adjustment lever, and the horizontal adjustment lever is perpendicular to the vertical adjustment lever, the barcode scanner can be adjusted more effectively, automatic focusing can be achieved, the efficiency of scanning the PCB board can be improved, and the data can be uploaded to the MES system.

[0024] In a preferred embodiment of the SMT online panel automatic barcode scanning device of this utility model, the barcode scanner bracket assembly further includes a mounting sheet metal; the mounting sheet metal and the barcode scanner are fixedly connected.

[0025] As a preferred embodiment of the SMT online panel automatic scanning device of this utility model, the blocking cylinder includes a cylinder, a cylinder fixing plate, a blocking crossbar and a blocking sheet metal.

[0026] The cylinder and the cylinder mounting plate are fixedly connected; the piston rod of the cylinder is fixedly connected to one end of the blocking crossbar, and the other end of the blocking crossbar is fixedly connected to the blocking sheet metal.

[0027] This application adopts the above technical solution, which uses a blocking cylinder to intercept PCB boards that have not been fully scanned, preventing them from flowing into the next process.

[0028] Specifically, when the number of codes scanned by the barcode scanner is inconsistent with the set number, it indicates that there are unscanned codes. The unscanned PCB boards trigger the second sensor, which presses down the blocking cylinder and extends the piston rod. Since the piston rod of the cylinder is fixedly connected to one end of the blocking crossbar, the extended blocking crossbar blocks the PCB boards that have not been fully scanned, and an alarm is sounded. The operator manually removes the stuck PCB board, restores normal operation, and resumes automatic scanning.

[0029] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0030] This utility model discloses an automatic barcode scanning device for online SMT panel assembly. PCBs flow out from the previous process of online SMT panel assembly and are transported along the conveyor line. First, a first sensor is triggered, activating the barcode scanner bracket assembly to scan and upload barcodes to the system. As the PCBs flow by, the barcode scanner scans and binds all the barcodes on the PCBs and uploads them to the MES system. This technical solution solves the problems of wasted manpower and low efficiency associated with manually removing PCBs from the rack and placing them under the camera for scanning and binding. When the number of barcodes scanned by the barcode scanner bracket assembly is inconsistent with the set number, it indicates that some barcodes have not been scanned. The unscanned PCBs trigger a second sensor, causing a blocking cylinder to press down, blocking the PCBs that have not been fully scanned and issuing an alarm. This continues until the operator manually removes the board, resuming normal operation and repeating the scanning process. Using this automatic barcode scanning device for online barcode binding eliminates the need for manual removal from the rack for scanning and binding, saving manpower, and the automatic machine operation eliminates the problem of missed scans.

[0035] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0036] See Figure 1An SMT online panel automatic barcode scanning device includes a connecting platform conveyor line 1, and a first sensor 2, a barcode scanner bracket assembly 3, a blocking cylinder 4, a second sensor 5 and a platform 6 are arranged sequentially along the conveying direction of the connecting platform conveyor line 1.

[0037] The PCB board is conveyed along the connecting platform conveyor line 1. The first sensor 2 is triggered, and the barcode scanner bracket assembly 3 is activated to scan and upload the barcode to the system.

[0038] When the number of codes scanned by the barcode scanner bracket assembly 3 is inconsistent with the set number, the second sensor 5 is triggered, the blocking cylinder 4 is pressed down, blocking the PCB board that has not been scanned and issuing an alarm.

[0039] The above solution discloses an automatic barcode scanning device for online SMT panelization. The PCB board flows out from the previous process of online SMT panelization and is transported along the conveyor line 1 of the connecting platform. First, the first sensor 2 is triggered, and the barcode scanner bracket assembly 3 is started to scan and upload the barcodes to the system. When the PCB board flows by, the barcode scanner bracket assembly 3 scans and binds all the barcodes on the PCB board and uploads them to the MES system. This solves the problems of labor waste and low efficiency caused by manually taking the board out of the rack and placing it under the camera for scanning and binding.

[0040] When the number of codes scanned by the barcode scanner bracket assembly 3 is inconsistent with the set number, it indicates that there are unscanned codes. The PCB board with unscanned codes triggers the second sensor 5, which in turn presses down the blocking cylinder 4 to block the PCB board that has not been fully scanned, and an alarm is sounded. The operation continues until the operator manually removes the board and resumes normal operation, repeating the above barcode scanning process.

[0041] like Figure 2 As shown, the barcode scanner bracket assembly 3 includes a fixed base 31, an up-down adjustment rod 32, an adapter block 33, a horizontal adjustment rod 34, a vertical adjustment rod 37, a mounting sheet metal 38, and a barcode scanner 39.

[0042] Preferably, the barcode scanner 39 is a barcode scanner equipped with a liquid lens. Addressing the shortcomings of cameras requiring manual mechanical adjustment for PCBs with varying heights, this application employs a barcode scanner with a liquid lens to achieve automatic focusing, reducing labor costs and increasing efficiency.

[0043] Preferably, one end of the upper and lower adjusting rod 32 is vertically connected to the fixed base 31, and the adapter block 33 is slidably connected to the upper and lower adjusting rod 32. The adapter block 33 can be used to fix the upper and lower adjusting rod 32 with bolts.

[0044] One end of the lateral adjusting rod 34 is slidably connected to the adapter block 33. The lateral adjusting rod 34 is perpendicular to the upper and lower adjusting rods 32. The adapter block 33 can fix the lateral adjusting rod 34 with bolts.

[0045] The other end of the lateral adjustment rod 34 is slidably connected to the longitudinal adjustment rod 37 via the sliding block 35. The lateral adjustment rod 34 is perpendicular to the longitudinal adjustment rod 37, and the vertical adjustment rod 32 is perpendicular to the longitudinal adjustment rod 37.

[0046] The end of the longitudinal adjusting rod 37 away from the sliding block 35 is slidably connected to the barcode scanning block 36. One end of the barcode scanning block 36 is fixedly connected to the mounting sheet metal 38. The mounting sheet metal 38 is fixedly connected to the barcode scanner 39. The barcode scanner 39 faces the conveyor line 1 of the connecting platform.

[0047] The aforementioned automatic barcode scanning device can eliminate the risk of errors and omissions that may occur during manual handling. Furthermore, cameras of different sizes and thicknesses require manual mechanical adjustment of the focus, while the barcode scanner bracket assembly can perform automatic focus adjustment.

[0048] like Figure 3 As shown, the blocking cylinder 4 includes a cylinder 41, a cylinder fixing plate 42, a blocking crossbar 43, and a blocking sheet metal 44; the cylinder 41 and the cylinder fixing plate 42 are fixedly connected; the piston rod of the cylinder 41 is fixedly connected to one end of the blocking crossbar 43, and the other end of the blocking crossbar 43 is fixedly connected to the blocking sheet metal 44.

[0049] When the number of codes scanned by barcode scanner 39 is inconsistent with the set number, it indicates that there are unscanned codes. The unscanned PCB board triggers the second sensor, which presses down the blocking cylinder 4 and extends the piston rod. Since the piston rod of cylinder 41 is fixedly connected to one end of the blocking crossbar 43, the blocking crossbar 43 extends and blocks the PCB board that has not been fully scanned, and at the same time, an alarm is sounded. The operator manually removes the stuck PCB board, restores normal function, and resumes automatic scanning.

[0050] The combination of the second sensor 5 and the blocking cylinder 4 can better solve the risk of errors and omissions in manual handling, eliminating the need for people to take the materials out of the rack for scanning and binding, thus saving manpower.

[0051] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications are also considered to be within the protection scope of this utility model.
