Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the technical field of board loading machine equipment, and particularly relates to a feeding device for a board loading machine. Background Technology

[0002] A PCB (Printed Circuit Board) feeding machine, also known as a drop PCB conveyor, is a type of industrial automation equipment primarily used in brick factory production lines and SMT (Surface Mount Technology) production lines for conveying PCB materials. The equipment consists of a first frame, lifting system, pushing system, alignment system, rollers, material frame, positioning frame, and control system. It features a fully automated mechanical design, requires no special foundation, and can be placed directly on hardened surfaces. The PCB feeding machine automatically executes the board infeed, lifting, and conveying process, carrying 20 to 30 boards continuously, replacing manual handling operations.

[0003] However, existing material frames are generally box structures with openings on both sides. The two inner side walls of the box are provided with slots at intervals in the height direction for inserting and stacking of boards. There are gaps between the slots so that the boards are spaced a certain distance apart to facilitate loading and feeding.

[0004] In existing board feeding machines, when feeding the board out of the material frame, a push rod is often used to directly push the board out of the material frame and onto the feeding track of the subsequent printing process device. This causes the bottom ends of the board to rub against the slots of the material frame, which can easily cause wear to the board. Utility Model Content

[0005] This application provides a feeding device for a board feeding machine, which can solve the problem that the board is easily worn when the push rod is used to push the board out of the material frame.

[0008] The linear motion component has a connecting part of the lifting member connected to the output end of the linear motion component. The output end of the linear motion component is capable of reciprocating linear motion in the horizontal direction. The linear motion component is used to drive the lifting member to reciprocate linear motion in the horizontal direction.

[0009] The lifting assembly is connected to the linear motion assembly. The lifting assembly is used to drive the linear motion assembly to perform reciprocating linear motion in the vertical direction, so that the lifting component can perform reciprocating linear motion in the vertical direction.

[0010] The rotating motion component and the lifting component are mounted on the rotating motion component. The rotating motion component is used to drive the lifting component to rotate in the horizontal direction, so that the lifting component can rotate in the horizontal direction.

[0011] Optionally, the rotary motion assembly includes a frame, multiple rollers mounted on the top of the frame, a turntable mounted on the frame via the multiple rollers, and a drive motor mounted on the frame.

[0012] The rollers are arranged at least three times at even intervals along the circumference of the turntable at the top of the frame, and the rollers are rotatably connected to the frame; the drive motor is used to drive the turntable to rotate along the axis of the turntable.

[0013] Optionally, the rotary motion assembly also includes a speed reducer, the input end of which is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor, and the output end of which is connected to the turntable drive to drive the turntable to rotate.

[0014] Optionally, the lifting assembly includes a linear drive device, which is located on the top surface of the turntable. The linear motion component is located on the output end of the linear drive device and can perform reciprocating linear motion in the vertical direction under the drive of the linear drive device.

[0015] Optionally, the lifting assembly also includes a support frame, which includes a support plate and multiple legs. The support plate is mounted on the top surface of the turntable via the multiple legs. A linear drive device is connected to the support plate, and the output end of the linear drive device is capable of linear motion in the vertical direction.

[0016] Optionally, the lifting assembly also includes a lifting plate, the bottom surface of which is connected to the output end of the linear drive device, and the top surface of which is used to connect to the linear motion assembly.

[0017] Optionally, the lifting assembly also includes guide columns, with guide holes provided on the support plate corresponding to the guide columns. One end of the guide column is connected to the bottom surface of the lifting plate, and the other end of the guide column extends vertically through the guide holes.

[0018] Optionally, the linear motion component includes a lead screw module disposed on the top surface of the support plate. The lead screw module has a slider capable of linear reciprocating motion in the horizontal direction, and the connecting part of the lifting member is connected to the slider.

[0019] Optionally, the feeding device also includes a controller, the output of which is connected to the control terminal of the drive motor, the control terminal of the reducer, the control terminal of the linear drive device, and the control terminal of the lead screw module.

[0020] Optionally, the top surface of the support unit is provided with anti-slip material.

[0021] In use, the feeding device of the plate-loading machine provided in this application is set between the plate-loading machine's connecting table outlet and the feeding track of the subsequent printing process device. The rotary motion component is adjusted so that the lifting part of the lifting member faces the material frame. Then, the lifting component is adjusted so that the lifting part faces the slot gap of the material frame. Subsequently, the linear motion component is controlled to drive the lifting member to extend, so that the lifting part inserts into the slot gap of the material frame. The lifting component is then used again to lift the lifting part, raising the plate placed in the slot. Finally, the linear motion component is used to retract the lifting member, thereby driving the plate... The material is removed from the material frame, and the rotating component drives the lifting component to rotate toward the feeding track of the printing process device. The lifting component is adjusted to match the height of the lifting component to the feeding track of the printing process device. Then, the linear motion component feeds the lifting component, along with the sheet material on it, into the feeding track of the printing process device. The above process is repeated to complete the feeding of multiple sheets from the material frame into the feeding track of the subsequent printing process device. In this way, the friction between the bottom ends of the sheet material and the slots of the material frame caused by pushing the sheet material is avoided, thereby reducing the wear on the sheet material.

[0048] Currently, existing board feeding machines use push rods to directly push the boards out of the material frame and onto the feeding track of the subsequent printing process device. This causes the bottom ends of the board to rub against the slots of the material frame, which easily leads to wear on the board.

[0049] To address the aforementioned problems, one embodiment of this application provides a feeding device for a board loading machine, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the feeding device includes a lifting component 1, a linear motion assembly 2, a lifting assembly 3, and a rotary motion assembly 4. The lifting component 1 has a connecting part 11 and a lifting part 12, which can be inserted into the slot gap of the material frame. The connecting part 11 of the lifting component 1 is connected to the output end of the linear motion assembly 2, which can perform reciprocating linear motion in the horizontal direction. The linear motion assembly 2 is used to drive the lifting component 1 to perform reciprocating linear motion in the horizontal direction. The lifting assembly is connected to the linear motion assembly 2, and the lifting assembly 3 is used to drive the linear motion assembly 2 to perform reciprocating linear motion in the vertical direction, so that the lifting component 1 can perform reciprocating linear motion in the vertical direction. The lifting assembly 3 is mounted on the rotary motion assembly 4, which is used to drive the lifting assembly 3 to rotate in the horizontal direction, so that the lifting component 1 can rotate in the horizontal direction.

[0050] When using the feeding device of the plate-loading machine provided in this application, the feeding device is set between the plate-loading machine's connecting table outlet and the feeding track of the subsequent printing process device. The rotary motion component 4 is adjusted so that the lifting part 12 of the lifting member 1 faces the material frame. Then, the lifting component 3 is adjusted so that the lifting part 12 faces the slot gap of the material frame. Subsequently, the linear motion component 2 is controlled to drive the lifting member 1 to extend, so that the lifting part 12 inserts into the slot gap of the material frame. The lifting component 3 lifts the lifting part 12 again, lifting the plate placed in the slot. Then, the linear motion component 2 retracts the lifting member 1. The process involves moving the sheet material out of the material frame, controlling the rotating component to rotate the lifting component 1 towards the feeding track of the printing process device, adjusting the lifting component 3 to match the height of the feeding track of the printing process device, and then using the linear motion component 2 to feed the lifting component 1 along with the sheet material on the lifting component 1 into the feeding track of the printing process device. This process is repeated to complete the feeding of multiple sheets from the material frame into the feeding track of the subsequent printing process device. This avoids friction between the bottom ends of the sheet material and the slots of the material frame caused by pushing the sheet material, thereby reducing wear on the sheet material.

[0051] It should be noted that the rotation angle and direction of the rotary motion component 4, the displacement distance and direction of the lifting component 3, and the extension and retraction length of the linear motion component 2 can all be preset as needed. Furthermore, the sequence and number of actions of the rotary motion component 4, the lifting component 3, and the linear motion component 2 can all be preset as needed.

[0052] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the rotary motion assembly 4 includes a frame 41, a plurality of rollers 42 disposed at the top of the frame 41, a turntable 43 mounted on the frame 41 via the plurality of rollers 42, and a drive motor 44 disposed on the frame 41; wherein, at least three rollers 42 are evenly spaced along the circumference of the turntable 43 and disposed at the top of the frame 41, and the rollers 42 are rotatably connected to the frame 41; the drive motor 44 is used to drive the turntable 43 to rotate along the axis of the turntable 43.

[0053] The frame 41 and rollers 42 are used to support the turntable 43. At least three rollers 42 are provided and are evenly spaced along the circumference of the turntable 43 at the top of the frame 41 so that the turntable 43 can be stably supported and can rotate along its axis to drive the lifting assembly 3 and the linear motion assembly 2 to rotate, thereby driving the lifting member 1 to move. The drive motor 44 can be provided on the frame 41 and is coaxially or drivenly connected to the axis of the turntable 43 to drive the turntable 43 to rotate along its axis and maintain the stability of the turntable 43 during rotation, preventing the turntable 43 from leaving its original position. It should be noted that the coaxial or driven connection between the drive motor 44 and the axis of the turntable 43 is a common method in the prior art, so it will not be described in detail here.

[0054] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 2 As shown, the rotary motion assembly 4 also includes a speed reducer 45. The input end of the speed reducer 45 is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 44, and the output end of the speed reducer 45 is connected to the turntable 43 to drive the turntable 43 to rotate.

[0055] The aforementioned reducer 45 is used to reduce the output speed of the drive motor 44, increase the torque, and prevent the turntable 43 from rotating too fast so that the plate will not slip off the support member 1.

[0056] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the lifting assembly 3 includes a linear drive device 31, which is disposed on the top surface of the turntable 43. The linear motion assembly 2 is disposed on the output end of the linear drive device 31. The linear motion assembly 2 can perform reciprocating linear motion in the vertical direction under the drive of the linear drive device 31.

[0057] The aforementioned linear drive device 31 is used to drive the linear motion component 2 to perform reciprocating linear motion in the vertical direction, thereby driving the lifting component 1 to perform reciprocating linear motion in the vertical direction. This allows the lifting component 1 to be adjusted in the vertical direction to align with the slot gap of the material frame, and to lift the plate after the lifting part 12 is inserted into the slot gap, so as to facilitate the removal of the plate from the material frame.

[0058] For example, the linear drive device 31 described above can be a cylinder or an electric push rod.

[0059] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the lifting assembly 3 also includes a bracket 32, which includes a support plate 321 and multiple legs 322. The support plate 321 is mounted on the top surface of the turntable 43 via the multiple legs 322. The linear drive device 31 is connected to the support plate 321, and the output end of the linear drive device 31 can move linearly in the vertical direction.

[0060] The aforementioned bracket 32 ​​is used to support the linear drive device 31. Specifically, the support plate 321 is mounted on the turntable 43 via the support legs 322 for the linear drive device 31 to be installed. The output end of the linear drive device 31 faces vertically upward to drive the linear motion component 2 to perform reciprocating linear motion in the vertical direction, thereby driving the lifting component 1 to perform reciprocating linear motion in the vertical direction.

[0061] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the lifting assembly 3 also includes a lifting plate 33, the bottom surface of which is connected to the output end of the linear drive device 31, and the top surface of which is used to connect to the linear motion assembly 2.

[0062] The aforementioned lifting plate 33 provides better installation space for the linear motion component 2, making the linear motion component 2 more stable when it is in motion or being driven to move.

[0063] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the lifting assembly 3 also includes a guide column 34. A guide hole 35 is provided on the support plate 321 corresponding to the guide column 34. One end of the guide column 34 is connected to the bottom surface of the lifting plate 33, and the other end of the guide column 34 extends vertically through the guide hole 35.

[0064] The guide post 34 and guide hole 35 work together to prevent the lifting plate 33 from shifting position when it reciprocates in a vertical direction, making the lifting plate 33 more stable during movement and avoiding position shift during movement, thereby making the lifting member 1 more stable during movement.

[0065] In some embodiments of this application, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the linear motion assembly 2 includes a lead screw module, which is disposed on the top surface of the support plate 321. The lead screw module has a slider that can reciprocate linearly in the horizontal direction, and the connecting part 11 of the lifting member 1 is connected to the slider.

[0066] Specifically, the lifting component 1 is mounted on the slider of the lead screw module. The lead screw module can drive the lifting component 1 to reciprocate linearly in the horizontal direction through the slider.

[0067] In some embodiments of this application, the feeding device further includes a controller (not shown in the figure), the output of which is connected to the control terminal of the drive motor, the control terminal of the reducer, the control terminal of the linear drive device, and the control terminal of the lead screw module.

[0068] The aforementioned controller can control the control terminals of the drive motor and the reducer to control the rotation angle and direction of the turntable, control the displacement distance and direction of the linear drive device to control the displacement distance and direction of the lifting component, and control the extension and retraction length of the lead screw module to control the displacement distance and direction of the lifting component. The controller can also control the sequence and number of actions of the aforementioned drive motor, reducer, linear drive device, and lead screw module. It should be noted that the controller's control of the control terminals of the drive motor and reducer to control the rotation angle and direction of the turntable, the displacement distance and direction of the linear drive device to control the displacement distance and direction of the lifting component, and the extension and retraction length of the lead screw module to control the displacement distance and direction of the lifting component, as well as the controller's ability to control the sequence and number of actions of the aforementioned drive motor, reducer, linear drive device, and lead screw module, are functions inherent to the controller itself. It is understood that the controller's control of the actions of each component, as well as the sequence and number of actions, can be set and adjusted as needed.

[0069] In some embodiments of this application, the top surface of the support portion is provided with an anti-slip material.

[0070] For example, the aforementioned anti-slip material can be silicone.

[0071] The top surface of the aforementioned support part serves as the contact surface with the plate. Applying anti-slip material to it can effectively prevent the plate from slipping off the support part.

[0072] In some embodiments of this application, the lifting member has a Z-shaped structure, with one end being a connecting part for connecting to the output end of the linear motion component, and the other end being a lifting part for inserting into the slot gap of the material frame and lifting the plate.

[0073] In some specific embodiments, such as Figure 1 As shown, there are two lifting components 1, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the center line in the direction of movement of the slider of the lead screw module.

[0074] With the above-described configuration, the two lifting members 1 lift and transport the sheet metal, which can further improve the stability of the lifting members 1 when lifting and transporting the sheet metal.

[0075] The above description is the preferred embodiment of this application. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles described in this application, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
