Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of feeding and tray-loading equipment, and more particularly to an automated tray-loading device for atomizer microphones. Background Technology

[0002] The atomizer microphone is a key control component in electronic atomization devices, its main function being to act as a switch controlling the power supply to and from the atomizer coil. During user operation, the microphone senses airflow or triggers a signal to open or close the circuit, thus controlling whether the atomizer coil is energized. Only when the atomizer coil is energized can its internal heating element heat the atomizing liquid, producing inhalable vapor. Therefore, the normal operation of the microphone directly affects the atomizer's functionality. In actual production, to connect the microphone to the external control circuit, wires need to be soldered to its electrodes. To ensure the smooth operation of the subsequent automated soldering process, a large number of microphones must first be arranged in a uniform and regular direction and position on a dedicated carrier tray, forming an orderly array. The entire tray of microphones is then fed into automated soldering equipment for efficient and precise soldering.

[0003] Currently, in the production process of atomizer microphones, the process of neatly arranging the microphones onto the carrier tray is mainly done manually. Specifically, operators on the production line use tweezers or their fingers to pick up the loose microphones one by one and manually place them accurately into each groove or positioning hole on the carrier tray according to the specified orientation and spacing. The entire process requires operators to maintain a high level of concentration to ensure that the polarity and placement of each microphone are correct, avoiding subsequent welding failures or product malfunctions due to incorrect placement. This operation is usually carried out at a specific station on the assembly line, with multiple operators working in parallel to meet production demands.

[0004] However, the current manual tray placement method has significant drawbacks. First, because it requires manual placement of each tray individually, the overall work efficiency is extremely low, making it difficult to match the high-speed cycle of automated welding equipment and becoming a bottleneck restricting overall production efficiency. Second, the long hours of repetitive and meticulous operation cause significant visual fatigue and physical burden on operators, resulting in heavy workloads, operator fatigue, and operational errors, thus affecting product yield. Furthermore, manual tray placement heavily relies on operator skill and concentration, leading to poor quality stability and extremely low automation, making it difficult to meet the large-scale, high-efficiency, and highly consistent production capacity requirements of modern industrialization. This has become a prominent weakness restricting the large-scale production of core components for atomizers. Utility Model Content

[0040] In the following description, only certain exemplary embodiments are briefly described. As those skilled in the art will recognize, the described embodiments can be modified in various ways without departing from the spirit or scope of this application. Therefore, the drawings and description are considered to be exemplary in nature and not restrictive.

[0041] Reference Figure 1 As shown, an automated atomizer microphone tray placement device is proposed in the embodiments of this application. The automated atomizer microphone tray placement device may include: a frame 1 with a mounting platform 10 on its top; a feeding mechanism 2, which is disposed on the frame 1 and located on one side of the mounting platform 10, for conveying the atomizer microphones to the mounting platform 10; a conveying mechanism 3, which is disposed on the mounting platform 10, for carrying and moving the receiving tray 6; and a gripping mechanism 4, which is disposed above the mounting platform 10 and corresponds to the conveying mechanism 3, for gripping the atomizer microphones on the mounting platform 10 and placing them into the receiving tray 6.

[0042] Among them, the transport mechanism 3 can drive the receiving tray 6 to move horizontally along the first direction, so as to switch the feeding position on the receiving tray 6 corresponding to the feeding mechanism 4, so that the feeding mechanism 4 will place each atomizer microphone in turn to the different feeding positions on the receiving tray 6.

[0043] Specifically, in the technical solution adopted in this application, during use, the atomizer microphone head can first be transported to the designated position on the mounting platform 10 by the feeding mechanism 2, so that the feeding mechanism 4 can grab the atomizer microphone head and move it to the receiving tray 6 on the transport mechanism 3. When the receiving tray 6 on the transport mechanism 3 is full of atomizer microphone heads corresponding to the feeding position of the feeding mechanism 4, the transport mechanism 3 drives the receiving tray 6 to move horizontally along the first direction on the mounting platform 10, so that the feeding position on the receiving tray 6 that does not contain atomizer microphone heads corresponds to the feeding mechanism 4. The feeding mechanism 4 repeats the feeding action until all feeding positions on the receiving tray 6 are full of atomizer microphone heads, so as to achieve the purpose of automatically placing atomizer microphone heads on the receiving tray 6. After adopting the automated microphone placement equipment of this application, compared with the existing manual placement method, the automation level of this field can be effectively improved, the workload of placement operation can be reduced, and the work pressure of operators can be alleviated. That is, the manual operation is changed from manual placement work to operating automated placement equipment and supervising work.

[0044] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, it further includes: two support legs 5, which are disposed on the mounting platform 10. The two support legs 5 are symmetrically arranged on opposite sides of the transport mechanism 3 along the second direction, and the material gripping mechanism 4 is located above the transport mechanism 3 by means of the support of the two support legs 5.

[0045] Specifically, in the technical solution adopted in this application, the material-grabbing mechanism 4 can be supported by two support legs 5 and positioned above the transport mechanism 3 to facilitate the transfer of the feeding mechanism 2 to the atomizer microphone on the mounting platform 10 and into the receiving tray 6 on the transport mechanism 3. To adapt to the transmission direction of the material-grabbing mechanism 4, the two support legs 5 can be arranged on opposite sides of the transport mechanism 3 along the second direction, thereby supporting the material-grabbing mechanism 4 at a certain height without affecting the transport mechanism 3's ability to carry and move the receiving tray 6.

[0046] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the material gripping mechanism 4 includes: a slide table mounting base 41, disposed on two support legs 5, the slide table mounting base 41 having a first slide rail 411 extending along a second direction; a first slider 42, slidably disposed on the first slide rail 411; a slide table member 43, disposed on the first slider 42, the slide table member 43 having a second slide rail 431 extending along a third direction, the third direction pointing towards the mounting surface 10 and perpendicular to the first direction and the second direction respectively; a second slider 44, slidably disposed on the second slide rail 431; an adsorption component 45, mounted on the second slider 44; a first drive component, disposed on the slide table mounting base 41 and connected to the slide table member 43, the first drive component being used to drive the first slider 42 to slide along the second direction on the first slide rail 411; and a second drive component, disposed on the slide table mounting base 41 and connected to the adsorption component 45, the second drive component being used to drive the second slider 44 to slide along the third direction on the second slide rail 431.

[0047] Specifically, in the technical solution adopted in this application, the slide mounting base 41 can be detachably mounted on the top of the two support legs 5 by fasteners. The slide mounting base 41 is set as an elongated strip extending in the second direction, so that the first slider 42 can slide on the first slide rail 411, so that the adsorption assembly 45 can grab the atomizer microphone head and move in the second direction. In use, the first drive assembly drives the first slider 42 to slide on the first slide rail 411. When the adsorption assembly 45 moves to the designated feeding position of the mounting platform 10, that is, the feeding mechanism 2 delivers the atomizer microphone head to the designated position, the second drive assembly can drive the second slider 44 to slide on the second slide rail 431 of the slide member 43, so that the adsorption assembly 45 moves in the third direction towards the mounting platform 10 until it contacts the atomizer microphone head at the designated feeding position on the mounting platform 10. After the adsorption assembly 45 grabs the atomizer microphone head, the second drive assembly drives the second slider 44 to return to the initial position on the second slide rail 431, and then the second drive assembly drives the second slider 44 to return to the initial position on the second slide rail 431. A drive component drives the first slider 42 to move in the second direction on the first slide rail 411 until it reaches directly above the target feeding position. The second drive component then drives the second slider 44 to move downward along the third direction on the second slide rail 431. The adsorption component 45 releases the atomizer microphone at a suitable height, thus completing one tray placement action. By repeating the above actions, the feeding positions on the receiving tray 6, which are arranged along the second direction and located directly below the adsorption component 45, can be filled with atomizer microphones. Then, the receiving tray 6 can be moved along the first direction by the transport mechanism 3 until all feeding positions on the receiving tray 6 are filled. A new empty receiving tray 6 can then be replaced on the automated tray placement equipment.

[0048] Furthermore, refer to Figure 2As shown, in some embodiments, the first drive assembly includes: a first motor 461, mounted on a slide table mounting base 41; a first drive wheel 462, disposed on the output shaft of the first motor 461 and rotating synchronously with the output shaft of the first motor 461; a second drive wheel 463, rotatably mounted on the slide table mounting base 41 via a first bearing component, and the second drive wheel 463 is spaced apart from the first drive wheel 462 along a second direction; a first synchronous belt 464, meshing with the first drive wheel 462 and the second drive wheel 463, and a first slider 42 is connected to the first synchronous belt 464 via a slide table component 43, so that the first slider 42 is driven to slide on the first slide rail 411 by the rolling motion of the first synchronous belt 464.

[0049] Specifically, in the technical solution adopted in this application, the output shaft of the first motor 461 can drive the first transmission wheel 462 to rotate, while the second transmission wheel 463 rotates synchronously with the first transmission wheel 462 via the first synchronous belt 464. In this embodiment, in order to drive the first slider 42 to slide on the first slide rail 411, the first transmission wheel 462 and the second transmission wheel 463 are arranged at intervals along the second direction, and the first slider 42 is locked on the first synchronous belt 464. When the first motor 461 drives the first synchronous belt 464 to roll through the first transmission wheel 462 and the second transmission wheel 463, the first slider 42 moves synchronously with the first synchronous belt 464, thereby enabling the first slider 42 to move on the first slide rail 411.

[0050] Furthermore, refer to Figure 3As shown, in some embodiments, the second drive assembly includes: a guide bracket having a first fixing plate 471, a second fixing plate 472, and a first guide support rod 473, the first guide support rod 473 being connected between the first fixing plate 471 and the second fixing plate 472, the side of the first fixing plate 471 facing away from the second fixing plate 472 being connected to the top of the slide table mounting base 41 so that the first guide support rod 473 extends in a third direction; a first linear bearing member 474 slidably sleeved on the first guide support rod 473; and a transmission connecting plate 475 connected to the first linear bearing member 474 and sliding synchronously with the first linear bearing member 474, the transmission connecting plate 475 being slidable when facing away from the first linear bearing member. A third slide rail extending in a third direction is provided on one side of 474, and the adsorption component 45 is connected in the third slide rail; a second motor 476 is provided on the second fixed plate 472, and an eccentric wheel is provided on the output shaft of the second motor 476; a transmission link 477 is sleeved on the eccentric wheel, and the transmission link 477 extends toward the first fixed plate 471; a first buffer member 478 is provided on the side of the transmission connecting plate 475 away from the third slide rail, and the transmission link 477 abuts against the first buffer member 478; a second buffer member 479 is provided on the first fixed plate 471, located directly below the first buffer member 478; and a buffer spring is elastically supported between the first buffer member 478 and the second buffer member 479.

[0051] Specifically, in the technical solution adopted in this application, the transmission connecting plate 475 is driven along a third direction via a guide bracket. Specifically, the transmission connecting plate 475 slides on the first guide support rod 473 via the first linear bearing 474. In use, the output shaft of the second motor 476 drives the eccentric wheel set to rotate, and the transmission connecting rod 477, driven by the eccentric wheel set, abuts against the first buffer member 478 on the transmission connecting plate 475, thereby causing the transmission connecting plate 475 to slide along the third direction on the first guide support rod 473 via the first linear bearing 474. The buffer spring between the first buffer member 478 and the second buffer member 479, when the transmission connecting rod 477 moves toward the second fixed plate 472, supports the first buffer member 478 to reset the transmission connecting plate 475 through its elastic force. Specifically, when the eccentric wheel assembly rotates to its lowest point, it drives the transmission link 477 to approach the first fixed plate 471 along a third direction and abut against the first buffer member 478. At this time, the first buffer member 478 approaches the second buffer member 479, and the buffer spring is compressed to store elastic energy. Conversely, when the eccentric wheel assembly rotates to its highest point, it drives the transmission link 477 to approach the second fixed plate 472 along a third direction to release the force abutting against the first buffer member 478. At this time, the buffer spring releases its stored elastic energy to drive the first buffer member 478 back to its original position. It should be noted that since the first buffer member 478 is set on the transmission connecting plate 475 and moves synchronously with the transmission connecting plate 475, the displacement of the first buffer member 478 is equal to the displacement of the transmission connecting plate 475. In order to realize the linkage between the adsorption component 45 and the transmission connecting plate 475, a third slide rail extending along a second direction is provided on the surface of the transmission connecting plate 475 opposite to the first buffer member 478, and the adsorption component 45 is slidably embedded in the third slide rail. In use, when the first driving component drives the first slider 42 to move the adsorption component 45 along the second direction on the first slide rail 411, the adsorption component 45 can also slide along the second direction in the third slide rail based on the transmission connecting plate 475. When the transmission connecting plate 475 moves along the third direction by abutting the first linear bearing 474 through the transmission connecting rod 477, the driving force in the third direction is transmitted to the adsorption component 45 through the third slide rail. The adsorption component 45 moves synchronously with the transmission connecting plate 475 along the third direction on the second slide rail 431 through the second slider 44.

[0052] Furthermore, refer to Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments, the adsorption component 45 includes: an adapter 451, which has an L-shaped structure and has a first mounting part and a second mounting part. The first mounting part is connected to the second slider 44, and the second mounting part is provided with a mounting hole; an adsorption component 452, which is embedded in the mounting hole. The adsorption component 452 has a first connector and a second connector. The first connector is used to connect to the negative pressure device, and the second connector is used to adsorb the atomizer microphone; a pulley 453, which is rotatably mounted on the first mounting part and is embedded in a third slide rail. When the first slider 42 slides on the first slide rail 411, the pulley 453 can roll in the third slide rail.

[0053] Specifically, in the technical solution adopted in this application, the vertically extending part of the adapter 451 is the first mounting part, and the horizontally extending part is the second mounting part, so that the first mounting part can be detachably mounted on the second slider 44 by fasteners. The adsorption component 452 is installed in the mounting hole of the second mounting part, which also allows the second end of the adsorption component 452 to point towards the mounting platform 10. The first connector can be connected to a negative pressure device to realize the function of adsorbing the atomizer microphone. The pulley 453 can be set on the top of the first mounting part and embedded in the third slide rail. When the adapter 451 moves along the second direction on the first slide rail 411 via the first slider 42, the pulley 453 can roll in the third slide rail. When the transmission connecting plate 475 moves along the third direction, the third slide rail transmits the driving force to the adapter 451 through the pulley 453, so as to drive the adapter 451 to move synchronously with the transmission connecting plate 475 along the third direction on the second slide rail 431 via the second slider 44.

[0054] Furthermore, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the transport mechanism 3 includes: a second guide support rod 31, disposed on the mounting platform 10, and extending along a first direction; a second linear bearing member 32, slidably sleeved on the second guide support rod 31; a bearing plate 33, connected to the second linear bearing member 32 and moving synchronously with the second linear bearing member 32, wherein an antistatic layer is laid on the bearing plate 33 away from the second linear bearing member 32 to form a support surface on the bearing plate 33 for placing the receiving tray 6; and a third drive assembly, disposed on the mounting platform 10 and connected to the bearing plate 33, wherein the third drive assembly drives the bearing plate 33 to slide along the first direction on the second guide support rod 31 via the second linear bearing member 32.

[0055] Specifically, in the technical solution adopted in this application, the third drive component drives the carrier plate 33 to slide on the second guide support rod 31 via the second linear bearing 32, thereby enabling the receiving tray 6 placed on the carrier plate 33 to move the placement station full of atomizer microphones out of direct contact with the material gripping mechanism 4, while the placement station on the receiving tray 6 without atomizer microphones moves to direct contact with the material gripping mechanism 4, awaiting the material gripping mechanism 4 to transfer the atomizer microphones to the target placement station on the receiving tray 6. The antistatic layer can be an antistatic cloth laid on the carrier plate 33, thereby preventing the generation of electrostatic arcs on the receiving tray 6 on the carrier plate 33 during the tray placement process, which would affect the finished quality of the atomizer microphones.

[0056] Furthermore, refer to Figure 6 As shown, in some embodiments, the third drive assembly includes: a third motor 34, disposed on the mounting platform 10; a third drive wheel 35, disposed on the output shaft of the third motor 34 and rotating synchronously with the output shaft of the third motor 34; a fourth drive wheel 36, rotatably mounted on the mounting platform 10 via a second bearing component, and the fourth drive wheel 36 is spaced apart from the third drive wheel 35 along a first direction; a second synchronous belt 37, meshingly sleeved on the third drive wheel 35 and the fourth drive wheel 36; and a locking connecting plate 38, fixed on the second synchronous belt 37 and connected to the side of the support plate 33 facing away from the antistatic layer.

[0057] Specifically, in the technical solution adopted in this application, in order to enable the point drive component to drive the carrier plate 33 to move along the first direction, the output shaft of the third motor 34 starts the third transmission wheel 35 to rotate, while the fourth transmission wheel 36 rotates synchronously with the third transmission wheel 35 through the second synchronous belt 37. At this time, the second synchronous belt 37 rolls through the locking connecting plate 38 to drive the carrier plate 33 to move along the first direction under the guidance of the second linear bearing 32 and the second guide support rod 31. This allows the receiving tray 6 placed on the carrier plate 33 to move the unloaded atomizer microphone position to directly below the material grabbing mechanism 4 according to the situation of carrying the atomizer microphone, so that the material grabbing mechanism 4 can transfer the atomizer microphone to the target placement position.

[0058] Furthermore, refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6As shown, in some embodiments, the transport mechanism 3 further includes: two first limiting components 39, disposed on the mounting platform 10, located on the side opposite to each other in the first direction of the third transmission wheel 35 and the fourth transmission wheel 36, wherein the bearing plate 33 can slide along the first direction and abut against one of the first limiting components 39 to limit the maximum sliding distance of the bearing plate 33 on the mounting platform 10; and two second limiting components 301, disposed on the mounting platform 10, spaced apart between the third transmission wheel 35 and the fourth transmission wheel 36 in the first direction, wherein the locking connecting plate 38 can move with the second synchronous belt 37 and abut against one of the second limiting components 301 to limit the maximum sliding distance of the locking connecting plate 38 on the mounting platform 10.

[0059] Specifically, in the technical solution adopted in this application, when the bearing plate 33 moves along the first direction via the second linear bearing 32, it can abut against one of the first limiting components 39 to limit the maximum movement distance of the bearing plate 33, thereby forming a movement range for the bearing plate 33 on the mounting platform 10, effectively preventing unnecessary trouble caused by the bearing plate 33 moving beyond its limit on the mounting platform 10. The two second limiting components 301 are arranged at intervals along the movement path of the locking connecting plate 38 in the first direction, thereby forming a movement range for the locking connecting plate 38 on the mounting platform 10, effectively preventing unnecessary trouble caused by the locking connecting plate 38 contacting the third transmission wheel 35 or the fourth transmission wheel 36 during movement.

[0060] Furthermore, refer to Figure 7 As shown, in some embodiments, the feeding mechanism 2 includes: a vibratory plate 21, mounted on the top of the frame 1, located on one side of the mounting platform 10; a vibratory track 22, connected to the vibratory plate 21, and extending towards the mounting platform 10; a feeding cylinder 23, disposed on the mounting platform 10, located below the material gripping mechanism 4, and the piston rod of the feeding cylinder 23 facing away from the mounting platform 10; a material storage component 24, disposed on the piston rod of the feeding cylinder 23, and docked with the end of the vibratory track 22, for receiving the atomizer microphone on the vibratory track 22; and two photosensitive components 25, symmetrically arranged on the material storage component 24, and emitting sensing light from each other, and the feeding cylinder 23 being signal-connected to the two photosensitive components 25.

[0061] Specifically, in the technical solution adopted in this application, the atomizer microphone required for the tray is supported by the vibrating plate 21, and the atomizer microphone is continuously transferred to the vibrating track 22 through the vibration force. The vibrating track 22 also sequentially transports the atomizer microphone to the storage component 24 through the vibration force. When the atomizer microphone reaches the storage component 24, it can block the sensing light emitted by the light sensor 25, which can be infrared light, to indicate that the atomizer microphone has been delivered to the storage component 24, and send an electrical signal to the feeding cylinder 23. After receiving the electrical signal, the feeding cylinder 23 extends and retracts the piston rod to drive the storage component 24 to move upward along a third direction, which is used to assist the adsorption component 45 on the gripping mechanism 4 in gripping the atomizer microphone. Specifically, the feeding cylinder 23 lifts the storage component 24 to a height that matches the adsorption component 45, thereby enabling the adsorption component 45 to grip the atomizer microphone.

[0062] After adopting the automated microphone tray arrangement equipment of this application, the automated tray arrangement process of the atomizer microphone is realized. The specific working principle is as follows:

[0063] The atomizer microphone head is conveyed to the storage component 24 by the vibrating plate 21 and the vibrating track 22. After the two photosensitive components 25 detect the atomizer microphone head on the storage component 24, the feeding cylinder 23 is activated to raise the height of the storage component 24, preparing for the material grabbing mechanism 4 to pick up the material. The first drive component, guided by the first slider 42 and the first slide rail 411, enables the adsorption component 45 to move along the second direction until it moves above the storage component 24. The second drive component, guided by the second slider 44 and the second slide rail 431, drives the adsorption component 45 to approach the storage component 24 until the adsorption component 45 successfully grabs the atomizer microphone head on the storage component 24. Then, the first drive component can be used to pick up the material. The first drive component moves the adsorption component 45 along the second direction to the target placement position of the receiving tray 6 on the transport mechanism 3. The second drive component then drives the adsorption component 45 downward along the third direction to smoothly place the atomizer microphone on the target position. After repeating the above steps, the placement position on the receiving tray 6 located directly below the gripping mechanism 4 can be filled with atomizer microphones. At this point, the third drive component can be activated to move the support plate 33 along the first direction, moving the placement position on the receiving tray 6 filled with atomizer microphones out of the position directly below the gripping mechanism 4, and moving the placement position without atomizer microphones directly below the gripping mechanism 4, so that the tray-laying process of gripping and transferring can continue. When the receiving tray 6 is full of atomizer microphones, the fully loaded receiving tray 6 on the support plate 33 can be manually replaced with an empty receiving tray 6 to proceed to the next round of tray-laying.
