Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of circuit board processing technology, specifically relating to a loading and unloading machine for ceramic circuit boards. Background Technology

[0002] Ceramic circuit boards are electronic component carriers that use ceramic materials as substrates. They have excellent thermal conductivity, insulation and high-temperature stability, and are widely used in medical, automotive electronics, communications, aerospace and power module fields.

[0003] Ceramic circuit board loading and unloading machines are devices used to transport ceramic circuit boards for subsequent processing. In existing technology, ceramic circuit boards are typically stacked in a rack, and the handler picks them up by first touching and then adsorbing them. This method can cause the handler to press against the ceramic circuit boards, resulting in damage. Furthermore, because the ceramic circuit boards are stacked, adhesion may occur between the boards when adsorbing the outermost layer, leading to the adsorption of multiple circuit boards at once, thus affecting processing efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, in order to address the above-mentioned technical problems, it is necessary to provide a loading and unloading machine for ceramic circuit boards. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a loading and unloading machine for ceramic circuit boards, which can solve the problem mentioned above where ceramic circuit boards may adhere to each other, resulting in the adsorption of multiple circuit boards at one time and affecting processing efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by a specific embodiment of this utility model is as follows: A ceramic circuit board loading and unloading machine includes a frame, a robot arm mounted on the frame, and an adsorption assembly mounted on the output end of the robot arm. The adsorption assembly includes a connecting plate connected to the robotic arm, a mounting plate disposed opposite to the connecting plate, a suction cup disposed on the side of the mounting plate away from the connecting plate, and a vibration drive component connected between the connecting plate and the mounting plate, the vibration drive component being capable of driving the mounting plate to move relative to the connecting plate.

[0007] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, one of the connecting plate and the mounting plate is fixedly connected to a guide rod, and the other is fixedly connected to a guide sleeve, wherein the guide rod is slidably inserted into the guide sleeve.

[0008] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, an oil cup is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the guide rod.

[0009] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the adsorption assembly further includes an exhaust nozzle, the nozzle being connected to the connecting plate or the mounting plate, and the exhaust end of the nozzle corresponding to the adsorption end of the suction cup.

[0010] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, a photoelectric sensor is fixedly connected to the connecting plate, and the robotic arm can receive the output signal of the photoelectric sensor to control the adsorption component to adsorb materials.

[0011] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the ceramic circuit board loading and unloading machine further includes a conveying assembly and a material rack installed on the frame, and the robot arm can control the adsorption assembly to obtain materials from the material rack and place them on the conveying assembly.

[0012] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the rack includes a first abutting surface and a second abutting surface disposed adjacent to each other. The first abutting surface is used to abut against the surface of the ceramic circuit board, and the second abutting surface is used to abut against the side of the ceramic circuit board. The included angle between the first abutting surface and the placement plane of the rack is an acute angle.

[0013] In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the rack further includes a limiting post mounted on the first abutting surface, the limiting post being used to abut against the side of the ceramic circuit board.

[0014] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the ceramic circuit board loading and unloading machine is provided with at least two material racks, and each material rack is provided with at least two mounting stations for mounting ceramic circuit boards.

[0015] In one or more embodiments of this utility model, the connecting plate is provided with at least two mutually cooperating mounting plates, and each mounting plate is provided with the suction cup and the vibration drive component.

[0016] Compared with existing technologies, the ceramic circuit board loading and unloading machine of this invention uses a robotic arm to drive the adsorption assembly to move to the loading or unloading position for operation. Vacuum adsorption is initiated before the suction cup contacts the ceramic circuit board, reducing pressure on the ceramic circuit board and lowering the risk of breakage. After the outermost ceramic circuit board is adsorbed, a vibration drive moves the mounting plate relative to the connecting plate, separating the adhered ceramic circuit boards and ensuring that only one ceramic circuit board is adsorbed at a time, thus guaranteeing subsequent processing efficiency.

[0020] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions of this utility model, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of this utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.

[0021] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, the ceramic circuit board loading and unloading machine includes a frame 1, a robot arm 2 mounted on the frame 1, an adsorption component 3 mounted on the output end of the robot arm 2, and a conveying component 4 and a material rack 5 mounted on the frame 1. Multiple ceramic circuit boards are stacked within the material rack 5. The robot arm 2 can control the adsorption component 3 to acquire materials from the material rack 5 and place them on the conveying component 4 to transport the ceramic circuit boards to the next processing step.

[0022] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The adsorption assembly 3 includes a connecting plate 31 connected to the robotic arm 2, and a mounting plate 32 disposed opposite to the connecting plate 31. A suction cup 33 is provided on the side of the mounting plate 32 away from the connecting plate 31. A vibration drive 34 connects the connecting plate 31 and the mounting plate 32, and the vibration drive 34 can drive the mounting plate 32 to move relative to the connecting plate 31. In this embodiment, the vibration drive 34 can be a cylinder, and the extension and retraction of the piston rod of the cylinder will drive the mounting plate 32 to move relative to the connecting plate 31. The mounting plate 32 can be provided with multiple suction cups 33 for adsorption and material removal. In this embodiment, four suction cups 33 are used as an example for illustrative purposes; the number of suction cups 33 is not specifically limited in this application.

[0023] In this process, since multiple ceramic circuit boards are stacked inside the material rack 5, after the outermost ceramic circuit board is adsorbed by the adsorption component 3, the vibration drive component 34 drives the mounting plate 32 to move relative to the connecting plate 31, which can separate the ceramic circuit boards that are stuck together, ensuring that only one ceramic circuit board is adsorbed at a time, thus guaranteeing the efficiency of subsequent processing.

[0024] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the ceramic circuit board loading and unloading machine is driven by the robot arm 2 to move the adsorption assembly 3 to the loading position for operation. Initiating vacuum adsorption before the suction cup 33 contacts the ceramic circuit board reduces the pressure exerted on the ceramic circuit board by the robot arm 2, thus lowering the risk of breakage.

[0025] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 One of the connecting plate 31 and the mounting plate 32 is fixedly connected to a guide rod 35, and the other is fixedly connected to a guide sleeve 36. The guide rod 35 is slidably inserted into the guide sleeve 36. The cooperation between the guide rod 35 and the guide sleeve 36 guides the movement direction of the mounting plate 32 and ensures the stability of the movement of the mounting plate 32. In this embodiment, the guide sleeve 36 is installed on the connecting plate 31 and the guide rod 35 is installed on the mounting plate 32 as an example for demonstration. In other embodiments, the guide rod 35 can also be installed on the connecting plate 31 and the guide sleeve 36 can be installed on the mounting plate 32. This application does not impose specific limitations on this.

[0026] Reference Figure 3 In one optional embodiment, an oil cup 37 is fixedly connected to the outer periphery of the guide rod 35. To ensure the smooth sliding of the guide rod 35 within the guide sleeve 36, lubricating oil is provided between the guide rod 35 and the guide sleeve 36, and the oil cup 37 can prevent the lubricating oil from contaminating other structures.

[0027] Reference Figure 3The adsorption assembly 3 also includes an exhaust nozzle 38, which is connected to the connecting plate 31 or the mounting plate 32. The exhaust end of the nozzle 38 corresponds to the adsorption end of the suction cup 33. In this embodiment, the nozzle 38 is in the form of a bent tube and is mounted on the connecting plate 31, but this is not a limitation on its installation position. On the one hand, during material handling, if there is adhesion between ceramic circuit boards, the nozzle 38 can blow the adsorption end of the suction cup 33 to detach the adhered ceramic circuit boards. On the other hand, during material unloading, if the ceramic circuit boards are still adsorbed on the suction cup 33, the nozzle 38 can blow the adsorption end of the suction cup 33 to detach the ceramic circuit boards from the suction cup 33, thereby achieving unloading.

[0028] Reference Figure 3 In one optional embodiment, a photoelectric sensor 6 is fixedly connected to the connecting plate 31. The robotic arm 2 can receive the output signal of the photoelectric sensor 6 to control the adsorption component 3 to adsorb materials. When it is detected that the suction cup 33 has not adsorbed the ceramic circuit board, the position information can be obtained through the photoelectric sensor 6, thereby controlling the adsorption component 3 to re-adsorb the ceramic circuit board. When it is detected that the suction cup 33 is pressing the ceramic circuit board too much, the adsorption component 3 can be controlled to stop pressing the ceramic circuit board.

[0029] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 5 The rack 5 includes a first abutment surface 51 and a second abutment surface 52 arranged adjacent to each other. The first abutment surface 51 is used to abut against the surface of the ceramic circuit board, and the second abutment surface 52 is used to abut against the side of the ceramic circuit board. The angle between the first abutment surface 51 and the placement plane of the rack 1 is an acute angle. The first abutment surface 51 and the second abutment surface 52 can be arranged perpendicular to each other. The inclined arrangement of the first abutment surface 51 can adjust the center of gravity of the ceramic circuit board located in the rack 5, making it less likely to fall off the rack 5 under the action of gravity.

[0030] Reference Figure 5 Furthermore, the rack 5 also includes a limiting post 53 mounted on the first abutment surface 51, which abuts against the side of the ceramic circuit board. Since multiple ceramic circuit boards are stacked inside the rack 5, the limiting post 53 abuts against and limits the multiple stacked ceramic circuit boards, preventing them from falling off the rack 5.

[0031] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3The ceramic circuit board loading and unloading machine is equipped with at least two racks 5, and each rack 5 has at least two mounting stations for mounting ceramic circuit boards. Specifically, in this embodiment, the area of ​​the first contact surface 51 can be set to accommodate at least two ceramic circuit boards, for mounting at least two sets of ceramic circuit boards. The connecting plate 31 is provided with at least two cooperating mounting plates 32, each mounting plate 32 being equipped with a suction cup 33 and a vibration drive component 34. Therefore, the number of racks 5 and mounting plates 32 can improve the efficiency of loading and unloading ceramic circuit boards.

[0032] Reference Figure 2 The conveying assembly 4 may include two opposing support frames 41, with a plurality of conveying rollers 42 rotatable around their own axes connected between the support frames 41. The robotic arm 2 can pick up the ceramic circuit board from the material rack 5 through the adsorption assembly 3, and then place it on the conveying rollers 42 to convey the ceramic circuit board to the next processing equipment.
