Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of material box unlocking devices, and in particular to an automatic material box unlocking device. Background Technology

[0002] During processing, sheet materials often need to be placed in a cassette. For example, IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors) are inserted into a cassette during the molding process. To prevent the sheet material from slipping out of the cassette during transport, a stop is installed at the opening of the cassette. When the sheet material is removed from the cassette to proceed to the next process, the stop needs to be opened to allow the sheet material to be removed and proceed to the next process.

[0003] The traditional method involves manually opening the baffle and then placing the material box into the equipment. In other words, the material box is unlocked from outside the equipment. This manual unlocking reduces production efficiency, and the shaking during the flow process may cause the sheet to fall out and be damaged. Utility Model Content

Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this application, "multiple" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0023] Please see Figures 1 to 2 As shown, this application provides an automatic unlocking device for a material box 1, wherein the material box 1 has a storage space 3 for storing sheet material 2, and the storage space 3 is provided with multiple layers of insertion slots, each of which holds a sheet material 2. The storage space 3 has openings 4 on both sides, and at least one opening 4 is rotatably provided with a stop bar 5 to prevent the sheet material 2 from moving out of the storage space 3. The stop bar 5 blocks a part of the opening 4, thereby preventing the sheet material 2 from sliding out of the opening during the material box conveying process.

[0024] The unlocking device includes: a moving mechanism 10, a clamping mechanism 20 located at the output end of the moving mechanism 10 and used to clamp the material box 1, and an unlocking mechanism 30 located beside the clamping mechanism 20 for unlocking the stop bar 5. The moving mechanism 10 drives the material box 1 to move toward the unlocking mechanism 30, and one end of the stop bar 5 is inserted into the unlocking head 31 of the unlocking mechanism 30. The unlocking head 31 rotates, causing the stop bar 5 to flip and open the corresponding opening 4.

[0025] The clamping mechanism 20 stably clamps the material box, and the moving mechanism 10 moves the material box to the unlocking mechanism position. The unlocking head of the unlocking mechanism drives the stop bar 5 to flip and open the corresponding opening 4 of the material box, so that the stop bar no longer blocks the corresponding opening, thereby facilitating the sheet to be pushed out from the opening position into the next process. This device realizes automatic unlocking, replaces manual unlocking, and improves production efficiency and safety.

[0026] For example, the sheet material can be a PCB, an insulated gate bipolar transistor semi-finished product (with a strip), etc.; any thin sheet material can be adapted to this device.

[0027] In one embodiment of this application, one end of the stop bar 5 is provided with a pivot joint 6 that is rotatably connected to the material box 1. Correspondingly, the unlocking head 31 is recessed with an unlocking groove 311. The pivot joint 6 is inserted into the unlocking groove 311, and the unlocking mechanism 30 rotates to drive the pivot joint 6 to rotate. Exemplarily, the pivot joint 6 is a protruding block shape, which facilitates the insertion of the unlocking groove 311 and the application of force. The shape of the pivot joint 6 is preferably an irregular ellipse with one end larger than the other.

[0028] In one embodiment of this application, the unlocking mechanism 30 further includes a motor 32, and the unlocking head 31 is disposed on the output shaft of the motor 32. The motor 32 drives the unlocking head 31 to rotate, causing the stop lever 5 to flip. The structure of the unlocking mechanism 30 is not limited to this. In other embodiments, other mechanical structures can also drive the stop lever 5 to flip.

[0029] In one embodiment of this application, the moving mechanism 10 includes an X-axis module 11 and a Z-axis module 12 disposed at the output end of the X-axis module 11. The clamping mechanism 20 is disposed on the output end of the Z-axis module 12, and the unlocking mechanism 30 is located on the upper side of the Z-axis module 12. The Z-axis module 12 drives the material box 1 to move upward and approach the unlocking mechanism 30. The X-axis module 11 drives the clamping mechanism 20 to extend into the material box storage device 100 and clamp the material box; the Z-axis module 12 drives the material box to insert into the unlocking mechanism for unlocking. Of course, in another embodiment, the material box storage device 100 and the unlocking mechanism 20 can move while the clamping mechanism 20 remains stationary, as long as clamping and unlocking can be achieved. The X-axis module 11 and the Z-axis module 12 are prior art, and their specific structures will not be described in detail.

[0030] In one embodiment of this application, the clamping mechanism 20 includes a linear module 21 disposed on the output end of the Z-axis module 12 and two clamping plates 22 for clamping the material box 1; one clamping plate 22 is disposed on the output end of the Z-axis module 12, and the other clamping plate 22 is disposed on the output end of the linear module 21. The linear module 21 drives the corresponding clamping plate 22 away from or closer to the other clamping plate 22. Each clamping plate 22 includes a clamping part 221 and an abutting part 222 arranged vertically. The clamping part 221 clamps the upper or lower side of the material box 1; the abutting part 222 abuts against the side of the material box 1 facing the linear module 21; both the upper and lower sides of the material box 1 are provided with positioning protrusions 7, and correspondingly, the inner side of the clamping part 221 is recessed with a positioning groove 201, and the positioning protrusions 7 are inserted into the positioning groove 201 for positioning. The clamping part 221 and the abutment part 222 clamp the material box in two directions. With the structure of the positioning protrusion 7 and the positioning groove 201, the material box is clamped very stably on the clamping mechanism.

[0031] like Figure 3-5 As shown, this application also provides a material box feeding device, including: a material box storage device 100, an ejection device 200 for ejecting sheet 2 from the material box 1, and the aforementioned automatic unlocking device 300; the material box storage device 100 is located beside the clamping mechanism 20, and the clamping mechanism 20 clamps the material box 1 at the output end of the material box storage device 100; the ejection device 200 is located beside the automatic unlocking device 300, and the pushing end of the ejection device 200 is directly opposite the opening 4 of the material box 1.

[0032] In actual operation, after the material box storage device 100 conveys the material box 1 to the material box automatic unlocking device 300, the X-axis module 11 drives the clamping mechanism 20 to extend into the material box storage device 100 and clamp the material box. The X-axis module 11 drives the clamping mechanism 20 to reset. Then, the Z-axis module drives the material box to move upward to the unlocking mechanism 30. The unlocking mechanism 30 unlocks the stop bar. After unlocking, the Z-axis module drives the material box to the front of the ejection device 200. The ejection device 200 ejects the sheets in the unlocked material box one by one. For each sheet pushed, the Z-axis module will drive the material box to move a certain distance.

[0033] The automatic storage and feeding of materials by the material box storage device 100, the automatic unlocking device of the material box unlocks the material box, and the ejection device 200 pushes the sheet in the unlocked material box into the next process. The whole process is fully automated, and the production efficiency is greatly improved.

[0034] In one embodiment of this application, the material box storage device 100 includes a storage compartment 40 and a conveying mechanism 50 disposed below the storage compartment 40. The storage space of the storage compartment 40 is adjustable. For example, at least one compartment plate of the storage compartment 40 is designed to slide through a slider rail structure, thereby adapting to the storage of different types of material boxes. The conveying mechanism 50 includes a conveying motor 51 and a conveyor belt 52 connected to the conveying motor 51 and located below the storage compartment 40. Multiple material boxes 1 are placed on the conveyor belt 52, and the conveying motor 51 drives the conveyor belt 52 to rotate, thereby conveying the material boxes 1 towards the clamping mechanism 20.

[0035] In one embodiment of this application, there are two material box storage devices 100, arranged vertically at intervals, so as to store more material boxes.

[0036] In one embodiment of this application, the ejection device 200 includes a cylinder 60, a linear push module 70 connected to the output shaft of the cylinder 60, and a push plate 80 at the output end of the linear push module 70. The push plate 80 is directly opposite the opening 4 of the material box 1 on the automatic unlocking device 300. The cylinder is used to adjust the position of the push plate 80 to avoid interference between the push plate 80 and the material box when it is pushed. The linear push module 70 drives the push plate 80 forward, and the push plate inserts into the storage space to eject the sheet.

[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this application and is not intended to limit this application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of this application should be included within the protection scope of this application.
