Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of self-positioning plug-in technology for irregularly shaped circuit boards, and more specifically, to a self-positioning plug-in guide mechanism for irregularly shaped circuit boards. Background Technology
[0002] Self-positioning insertion of irregularly shaped circuit boards is an automated assembly technology used to precisely insert electronic components into circuit boards with irregular shapes or special dimensions. It automatically detects the position and shape of the circuit board using a vision recognition system or sensors, and then uses mechanical devices (such as clamps and guide mechanisms) to accurately insert the components into predetermined positions. This technology effectively improves insertion efficiency, reduces errors caused by manual operation, and enhances production quality and consistency. It is widely used in the electronics manufacturing industry, especially in the production of irregularly shaped circuit boards where high precision is required.
[0003] A search revealed a patent publication (CN221264119U) that discloses a PCB board irregularly shaped electronic component insertion machine. The technical solution includes a base plate and electronic components. Side plates are fixedly installed on both sides of the base plate. A second sliding groove is provided on the top surface of the side plates, and a first sliding groove is provided on both sides of the top surface of the base plate. The direction of the first sliding groove is perpendicular to the direction of the second sliding groove on the top surface of the side plates. A fixing clamping device is slidably installed within the first sliding groove of the base plate. The fixing clamping device can clamp and fix electronic components of various shapes. The beneficial effect of this invention is that by using a fixing clamping device capable of clamping and fixing electronic components of various shapes, the electronic components are stabilized. Then, a relatively fixed-shape PCB board is clamped, and the PCB board is moved to insert the electronic components, thus adapting to different electronic components and avoiding slippage and detachment of electronic components due to irregular surface shapes. This improves the insertion efficiency between the PCB board and irregularly shaped electronic components.
[0004] Due to differences in response speed and pressure fluctuations during the displacement of hydraulic rods, this asynchrony not only leads to decreased insertion accuracy but also causes severe physical damage to the circuit board. Particularly during insertion, asynchronous movement of the hydraulic rods can cause uneven forces on the circuit board, resulting in bending, twisting, or even breakage. Furthermore, pressure fluctuations in the hydraulic system can generate excessive impact forces instantaneously, further exacerbating the risk of circuit board damage. This damage not only increases production costs but also reduces production efficiency, as it necessitates frequent replacement of damaged circuit boards and equipment readjustment.
