Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated production equipment technology, specifically to a feeding and positioning mechanism for electronic components. Background Technology

[0002] In the automated production and assembly process of electronic components, the continuity and accuracy of the feeding process directly affect the operating efficiency and product quality of subsequent processing stations. Currently, electronic components are typically transported to subsequent processing stations such as turntables via feed rails to achieve a series of automated operations such as sorting, inspection, welding, or assembly.

[0003] However, due to the small size and precise structure of electronic components, and their susceptibility to vibration, fluctuations in conveying speed, or friction on the inner wall of the feed rail during the feeding process, skewness often occurs.

[0004] Therefore, how to effectively correct the skewed posture of electronic components before they enter the subsequent turntable station, and ensure the consistency and accuracy of the feeding posture, has become a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved to improve the automated production efficiency and product quality of electronic components. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings in the prior art, this utility model provides a feeding and alignment mechanism for electronic components.

[0006] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a feeding and aligning mechanism for electronic components, the aligning mechanism including an aligning bracket, a lower base plate fixed on the aligning bracket, an upper base plate disposed above the lower base plate, a fixed plate fixed on the lower base plate, and a movable plate connected to the upper base plate, wherein an aligning channel is formed between the movable plate and the fixed plate.

[0007] Furthermore, the fixed plate has a flat end face and an inwardly inclined slope on one side of the moving plate, and the moving plate has an arc surface on the side of the fixed plate.

[0008] Furthermore, the upper base plate is provided with an arc-shaped adjustment groove and a first fixing hole, and the upper surface of the movable plate is provided with a plurality of second fixing holes at equal intervals. When the first fixing hole is aligned with one of the second fixing holes, the movable plate can be fixed to the upper base plate by fasteners, and the position of the second fixing holes can be adjusted along the arc-shaped adjustment groove.

[0009] Furthermore, there are five second fixing holes.

[0010] Furthermore, the alignment bracket includes a base plate, a vertical plate fixedly connected to the base plate, and a lifting adjustment plate that slides with a guide groove on the vertical plate. The base plate has waist-shaped holes on both sides, the vertical plate has a lifting groove, and the lifting adjustment plate has fixing holes that are adapted to the lifting groove.

[0011] Furthermore, the lower base plate and the upper base plate are connected by an adjustment assembly. The adjustment assembly includes a base block fixed to the lower base plate, an adjustment block that slides with the guide groove of the base block via a slider, a rack fixed to the bottom of the slider, and a knob that rotates with the base block. The knob has a toothed sleeve that meshes with the rack on its rod portion below the rack. The adjustment block is fixed to the upper base plate.

[0012] Furthermore, the guide groove has a "dovetail" shaped structure.

[0013] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: By setting a fixed plate and a rotatable and adjustable movable plate on the alignment bracket, the two form an alignment channel adapted to the shape of electronic components. When a skewed product component passes through this channel, the fixed plate and the movable plate can limit and guide it, effectively correcting the skew and ensuring that the component enters the subsequent turntable station in a uniform and regular posture. This solves the problem of feeding and positioning deviation caused by abnormal posture from the source, reduces production interruptions, and helps to improve work efficiency and increase the finished product qualification rate.

[0014] In addition to the objectives, features and advantages described above, this utility model has other objectives, features and advantages.

The opposite sides of the fixed plate and the movable plate form an alignment channel for electronic components to pass through. In use, the alignment channel is aligned with the feed rail, and the components are conveyed along the channel to achieve posture correction.

[0026] Specifically, the fixed plate is provided with a flat end face 7 and an inwardly inclined slope 8 on one side of the moving plate, and the moving plate is provided with an arc surface 9 on one side of the fixed plate.

[0027] In this embodiment, a flat end face and an inclined surface sloping inward toward the center of the turntable are provided on the side of the fixed plate facing the moving plate. The side of the moving plate facing the fixed plate is designed with an arc surface, which makes the structure with a larger entrance to the alignment channel easier for components to enter smoothly. After alignment, the components are guided smoothly to the designated position on the subsequent turntable by the inclined surface.

[0028] Specifically, the upper base plate is provided with an arc-shaped adjustment groove 10 and a first fixing hole 11, and the upper surface of the movable plate is provided with a plurality of second fixing holes 12 at equal intervals.

The knob 25 has a toothed sleeve 26 that meshes with the rack on its rod below the rack. The adjustment block is fixed to the upper base plate.

[0035] In this embodiment, the translation adjustment of the upper base plate is achieved through the meshing transmission of the knob, gear sleeve, and rack, which can control the width of the alignment channel between the moving plate and the fixed plate, and adapt to electronic components of different thicknesses or widths. The gear and rack transmission has the characteristics of smooth transmission and high adjustment accuracy, avoiding the errors of manual adjustment. At the same time, the adjustment process does not require disassembly of parts, making it convenient to operate and able to respond in real time to the processing needs of the production line for different components.

[0036] Specifically, the guide groove has a "dovetail" shaped structure.

[0037] In this embodiment, the dovetail guide groove has a bidirectional limiting function, which can effectively prevent the slider from moving up and down or shifting left and right during the sliding process, and ensure the linearity and stability of the upper base plate translation adjustment.
