Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of plug-in machine technology, and in particular relates to a quick plug-in feeder docking device. Background Technology

[0002] An insertion machine is a mechanical device that automatically and precisely inserts electronic components into the conductive vias of a printed circuit board. It mainly consists of a feeding device and a insertion device. The feeding device supplies the electronic components, while the insertion device picks up the components from the feeding device and inserts them onto the printed circuit board. The smoothness and precision of the connection between the feeding device and the insertion machine have a significant impact on the overall efficiency and quality of the machine.

[0003] Existing feeders generally cannot achieve integrated docking and require separate electrical connectors, which is cumbersome, time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0004] The existing feeder guiding and positioning structure uses a multi-workpiece combination method, which results in high assembly costs, difficulty in meeting accuracy requirements, and the inability to plug and unplug the electrical structure in one go.

[0005] Operators cannot quickly replace the feeder. After the feeder is replaced, the material picking position of the insertion machine needs to be recalibrated, which affects the overall line changeover time and thus the overall equipment utilization rate. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the technical solutions of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with specific embodiments and corresponding drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this utility model, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0024] The following, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, details the technical solution of a quick-plug feeder docking device provided by various embodiments of this utility model.

[0025] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, this utility model embodiment provides a quick-connect feeder docking device, including a feeder body 1 and a quick-connect structure 2. The feeder body 1 includes a horizontal plate 10, an upper vertical plate 11, and a lower vertical plate 12. The upper vertical plate 11 and the lower vertical plate 12 are vertically connected to the top and bottom of the horizontal plate 10, respectively. The lower vertical plate 12 is provided with several sets of docking channels arranged at equal intervals. Each set of docking channels includes a female electrical connector 121 and a female gas connector 122. The quick-connect structure 2 is slidably engaged with the horizontal plate 10. The quick-connect structure 2 is provided with a locking structure 3, which can lock the quick-connect structure 2 onto the horizontal plate 10. The docking seat 25 is provided with a male electrical connector 26 and a male gas connector 27 that dock with the female electrical connector 121 and the female gas connector 122.

[0026] During the positioning and electrical insertion / removal of the feeder and the main unit of the insertion machine, the existing moving mechanism on the insertion machine can drive the quick-connect structure 2 to work, quickly inserting the male electrical connector 26 and male pneumatic connector 27 on the quick-connect structure 2 into the female electrical connector 121 and female pneumatic connector 122 on the feeder body 1. This allows for simultaneous connection of electrical and pneumatic connectors, significantly improving efficiency. The positioning is accurate with an error of ≤±0.1mm, and the foolproof design prevents reverse insertion. It is suitable for automated production, with modular interfaces compatible with multiple devices, reducing maintenance costs and facilitating flexible production.

[0027] The gas connector uses male and female inflator heads for mating, and the inner chamfer of the gas connector guides the electrical connector (three rows of DB15 connectors) for precise mating.

[0028] Specifically, the quick docking structure 2 includes a docking plate 21, a T-shaped block 22 at the bottom of the docking plate 21, a mounting plate 23 at the top of one end of the docking plate 21, two positioning pins 24 on the mounting plate 23, and a docking seat 25 at the bottom of the docking plate 21.

[0029] Specifically, the horizontal plate 10 is provided with a T-slot 101 that slides with the T-block 22, and the upper plate 11 is provided with a round hole 111 and a waist hole 112 that cooperate with two positioning pins 24. The round hole 111 is inserted into the positioning pin 24, and the waist hole 112 is provided to ensure that the positioning pin 24 located below can be inserted into the waist hole 112 even if there is an installation error. This allows the male electrical connector 26 and male air connector 27 on the docking plate 21 to be quickly inserted into the female electrical connector 121 and female air connector 122 on the feeder body 1. The horizontal plate 10 is provided with a locking groove 102 at the end position.

[0030] It should be noted that the T-slot 101 is CNC machined in one go using a T-shaped cutter to guide the groove of the base plate without cutting, ensuring reliable precision; the T-slot 101 and T-block 22 have high matching precision, ensuring smooth feeder input and output.

[0031] During the docking process, the T-shaped block 22 at the bottom of the docking plate 21 is inserted into the T-slot 101 on the horizontal plate 10. After the insertion is in place, the two positioning pins 24 on the mounting plate 23 are inserted into the round hole 111 and the waist hole 112 on the upper plate 11, thereby achieving precise docking of the docking plate 21 into the corresponding docking channel. This prevents the insertion machine from vibrating during operation and causing docking errors. The T-shaped block 22 and the T-slot 101 cooperate with each other, and the two positioning pins 24 can be inserted into the round hole 111 and the waist hole 112 respectively to ensure the accuracy of the material picking position in the up and down and left and right directions. It can also achieve the accuracy of quickly inserting the male electrical connector 26 and the male air connector 27 into the female electrical connector 121 and the female air connector 122 on the feeder body 1.

[0032] Specifically, the locking structure 3 includes a mounting base 31, a locking tongue 32, and a steel wire rope 33. The mounting base 31 is located on the top of the docking plate 21, and the locking tongue 32 is connected to the bottom of the steel wire rope 33. The steel wire rope 33 can drive the locking tongue 32 to move within the mounting base 31 and the locking groove 102. The locking tongue 32 extending into the locking groove 102 can fix the docking plate 21 on the horizontal plate 10.

[0033] The other end of the wire rope 33 is connected to the existing drive components on the insertion machine, such as cylinders, lead screw slides or electric cylinders.

[0034] When locking the position of the docking plate 21, the existing drive components operate to move the wire rope 33 downward within the mounting base 31, thereby moving the locking tongue 32 into the locking groove 102. This locks the position of the docking plate 21 onto the horizontal plate 10 of the drive components, thus locking the front and rear positions of the feeder body 1. The wire rope 33 is a rigid wire rope.

[0035] This utility model is used for positioning and electrical plugging / unplugging of the feeder and the main unit of the insertion machine, so as to realize the feeder being quickly and accurately positioned on the main unit of the insertion machine.

[0036] It can achieve precise and universal feeder with up to twelve channels, and the accuracy requirements of the material picking position are not affected when switching feeders;

[0037] It is suitable for different types of feeders, including tape, tube, roll, and bulk feeders.

[0038] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of this utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principle of this utility model should be included within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
