Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of drilling technology, and in particular to drilling apparatus and drilling systems. Background Technology

[0002] Laser drilling machines are used to process micro blind vias on PCBs, and most PCBs require drilling on both sides. Existing laser drilling machines are equipped with dedicated loading and unloading flipping machines. The loading machine feeds the semi-finished PCBs onto the main processing platform to process side A. After side A is processed, the unloading robot grabs the PCBs, flips them 180°, and stacks them temporarily in the unloading bin. After all PCBs have completed side A processing, the unloading robot feeds the PCBs temporarily stored in the unloading bin onto the main processing platform for side B processing. The finished PCBs with side B processing are then picked up by the loading robot and stacked in the loading bin, completing the entire automated processing flow.

[0003] Because the PCBs being processed are relatively thick and heavy, when a large number of sheets are stacked, the browning layer on the PCB surface may be damaged by indentations and scratches due to pressure and friction between the boards. Such marks can affect subsequent laser processing and cause defects such as hole misalignment. To address this, PCB manufacturers are now promoting a board insertion rack, which vertically inserts the PCBs into the slots of the rack to keep them separate and prevent them from contacting each other. However, existing loading and unloading drilling machines cannot directly connect to this type of board rack. Utility Model Content

[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a drilling device to address the problem that existing loading and unloading drilling machines cannot directly connect to PCBs vertically inserted into the slots of the board frame.

[0039] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a drilling apparatus provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2This is a front view of a drilling apparatus provided in an embodiment of this application. The drilling apparatus provided in an embodiment of this application includes a drilling assembly 100 and a first transfer assembly 200. The drilling assembly 100 has a discharge position and a feed position below and above the production line, respectively. The drilling assembly 100 is used to drill holes in the sheet metal 700 located at the feed position and to move the drilled sheet metal to the discharge position. The first transfer assembly 200 is disposed below the production line of the drilling assembly 100 and includes a first transfer robot 210 and a first positioning... The first positioning component 220 is disposed on one side of the first transfer robot 210. The first positioning component 220 is used to position the plate frame 500 located at the unloading position. The first transfer robot 210 grabs the plate 700 located at the discharge position and drives the grabbed plate 700 to move and rotate around a preset direction, so as to move the plate 700 adjusted to the target posture to the plate frame 500 located at the unloading position, wherein the unloading position is located on the side of the discharge position away from the drilling assembly 100.

[0040] Specifically, in this application, the first transfer robot 210 grabs the sheet material 700 from the material feeding position and drives the grabbed sheet material 700 to move and rotate around a preset direction, so as to move the sheet material 700 adjusted to the target posture to the plate rack 500 located at the unloading position. That is, the lower part of the drilling assembly 100 can be connected with the plate rack 500 at the unloading position through the first transfer robot 210 to realize the transportation of the sheet materials 700 spaced on the plate rack 500. Through the setting of the first positioning member 220, the plate rack 500 is accurately positioned, so that the first transfer robot 210 can accurately grab the sheet material 700 on the plate rack 500, thereby improving the reliability of the drilling device.

[0041] It should be noted that a plate rack 500 can be used below the production line in this application, so that each plate 700 can be stored vertically at intervals in the plate rack 500. This can avoid damage such as indentations and abrasions caused by pressure and friction between the plates 700 during the storage process, thereby improving the processing accuracy of the plates 700.

[0042] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the sheet metal 700 is vertically spaced on the plate holder 500. The first transfer robot 210 moves and rotates the grasped sheet metal 700 around a preset direction, adjusting it to the target posture and moving it to the target position. The vertically spaced sheet metal 700 does not necessarily mean it is completely parallel to the direction of gravity; it can also be in a direction with an angle to the direction of gravity. This embodiment uses the example of the sheet metal 700 being vertically spaced on the plate holder 500 and being horizontal during processing in the drilling assembly 100. In other embodiments, the sheet metal 700 can be in other postures during processing in the drilling assembly 100.

[0043] Among them, the plate holder 500 located at the unloading position refers to the plate holder 500 located below the drilling device production line. For ease of description, it is defined as the unloading plate holder 570. The unloading plate holder 570 stores the processed plate 700 or the semi-processed plate 700.

[0044] Specifically, the first transfer assembly 200 has a feeding plate frame 570 on the side opposite to the drilling assembly 100, and the specific operation process of the first transfer assembly 200 is as follows:

[0045] The first transfer robot 210 can move toward the discharge position, then grab the plate 700 on the discharge position, move the plate 700 to the first preset position, then move the plate 700 around the horizontal line by 90 degrees to adjust it to a vertical state, and then move the plate 700 to the unloading plate rack 570 for storage.

[0046] The first transfer robot 210 moves in the opposite direction to the first preset position and rotates 90 degrees in the opposite direction around the horizontal line to prepare for the next action.

[0047] It should be noted that the order of the moving and rotating actions in this application can be changed, as long as it can achieve the moving and rotating of the plate 700.

[0048] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a transfer component in a drilling apparatus provided in one embodiment of this application. In one embodiment, the first transfer manipulator 210 includes a manipulator 211, a frame 212, and a plurality of suction nozzles 213. Each suction nozzle 213 is disposed on the frame 212 and is used to pick up the sheet material 700. The frame 212 is connected to the manipulator 211, and the manipulator 211 is used to drive the frame 212 to move and rotate the suction nozzles 213 around a preset direction.

[0049] Specifically, in this application, the robotic arm 211 can drive the frame 212 to rotate the suction nozzles 213 in a horizontal direction, so that the suction openings of each suction nozzle 213 are parallel to the vertical plane, thereby accurately picking up the vertically placed sheet metal 700 on the plate holder 500. Furthermore, the robotic arm 211 can drive the frame 212 to move the suction nozzles 213 in three mutually perpendicular directions, allowing the suction nozzles 213 to move in space on one side of the plate holder 500 to accurately align with the sheet metal 700 on the plate holder 500. The robotic arm 211 in this application can be a six-axis robotic arm 211, which is prior art and will not be described further.

[0050] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3and Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the transfer component and the plate frame cooperating in a drilling device according to an embodiment of this application. In one embodiment, the first positioning member 220 includes a support portion 221 and a limiting portion 222. The limiting portion 222 is disposed on the support portion 221. The support portion 221 is used to support the plate frame 500, and the limiting portion 222 is used to cooperate with the plate frame 500 to limit the position of the plate frame 500 on the support portion 221.

[0051] Specifically, the support part 221 stably supports the plate frame 500, and the limiting part 222 can cooperate with the plate frame 500 to position the plate frame 500, so that the plate frame 500 can be accurately located at the preset position on the support part 221, and the first transfer robot 210 can accurately grab the plate material 700 on the plate frame 500, thereby improving the reliability of the drilling device.

[0052] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the support portion 221 is provided with a groove 580 or a protrusion, which is used to engage with the protrusion or recess 510 on the plate frame 500 for limiting. The groove 580 or the protrusion is constructed as a limiting portion 222.

[0053] Specifically, the support portion 221 is provided with a protrusion, and the bottom of the plate frame 500 is provided with a recess 510. The protrusion and the recess 510 are interlocked, thereby accurately limiting the position of the plate frame 500 and reducing the shaking of the plate frame 500, thus improving the reliability of the docking between the first transfer robot 210 and the plate 700 on the plate frame 500. The support portion 221 is provided with a pin, the pin portion of which protrudes relative to the support portion 221 to form a protrusion.

[0054] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the support 221 includes a frame 223 and two spaced-apart support arms 224. The support arms 224 are detachably connected to the frame 223 and are used to support both ends of the plate frame 500. The limiting part 222 is disposed on at least one support arm 224.

[0055] Specifically, both support arms 224 are provided with protrusions, and both protrusions are engaged with the two recesses 510 at the bottom of the plate frame 500, thereby accurately limiting the position of the plate frame 500.

[0056] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the spacing between the two support arms 224 is adjustable, thereby accommodating different sized plate frames 500 and improving the adaptability of the drilling device.

[0057] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In one embodiment, the height of the two support arms 224 relative to the frame 223 is adjustable, so that the support arms 224 can adapt to different heights of the transport vehicle 600 when the pallet 500 is transported by the transport vehicle 600.

[0058] It should be noted that one end of each of the two support arms 224 is connected to the frame 223, while the other end is in a free state. This creates a gap between the two support arms 224, allowing the transport vehicle 600 to move the plate frame 500 between them. The transport vehicle 600 lowers its support end to support the support arms 224, allowing the plate frame 500 to rest on the support arms. The recessed portion 510 on the plate frame 500 engages with the protrusion on the support arm 224 to transport the plate frame 500 into place. When the transport vehicle 600 moves the plate frame 500 away, it can move between the two support arms 224. Then, by raising its support end to contact the plate frame 500, the transport vehicle 600 simultaneously raises the plate frame 500, separating it from the support arms 224.

[0059] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the drilling device further includes a flipping component 300, which is disposed between the drilling component 100 and the first transfer component 200. The flipping component 300 includes a flipping robot 310, which is used to grip the sheet material 700 and drive the gripped sheet material 700 to flip over a preset angle.

[0060] Specifically, when both sides of the sheet metal 700 need to be processed, the sheet metal 700 needs to be flipped. In this application, a flipping component 300 is provided between the drilling component 100 and the first transfer component 200, so that the flipping robot 310 can flip the sheet metal 700 after one side has been processed, so that the drilling component 100 can process the other side of the drilling component 100. The flipping robot 310 can flip the sheet metal 700 during the process of the sheet metal 700 moving from the drilling component 100 to the unloading plate holder 570, or it can flip the sheet metal 700 during the process of the sheet metal 700 moving from the unloading plate holder 570 to the drilling component 100.

[0061] It should be noted that when both sides of the sheet 700 need to be processed, one side of each sheet 700 is processed first, and then the other side is processed. Specifically, when processing the other side of each sheet 700, the first transfer robot 210 is used to grab the sheet 700 located on the unloading plate rack, and drives the grabbed sheet 700 to move and rotate around a preset direction, so as to move the sheet 700, which has been adjusted to the target posture, to the discharge position, and then drill holes through the drilling assembly 100 and move it to the feeding position.

[0062] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment, the drilling device further includes a second transfer assembly 230, which is disposed above the production line of the drilling assembly 100. The second transfer assembly 230 includes a second transfer robot 231 and a second positioning member 232. The second positioning member 232 is disposed on one side of the second transfer robot 231 and is used to position the plate frame 500 located at the loading position. The second transfer robot 231 is used to grab the plate 700 located on the plate frame 500 at the loading position and drive the grabbed plate 700 to move and rotate around a preset direction, so as to move the plate 700 adjusted to the target posture to the feeding position, wherein the loading position is located on the side of the feeding position away from the drilling assembly 100.

[0063] Specifically, this application provides a second transfer assembly 230 above the drilling assembly 100 production line, which allows the second transfer assembly 230 to dock with the plate holder, thereby enabling each plate 700 at the loading position to be stored at intervals on the plate holder 500. This avoids damage such as indentations and abrasions caused by pressure and friction between the plates 700 during storage, and improves the processing accuracy of the plates 700.

[0064] Among them, the plate rack 500 located at the feeding position refers to the plate rack 500 located above the drilling device production line. For ease of description, it is defined as the feeding plate rack 560, which stores the plate material 700 to be processed.

[0065] Specifically, the second transfer assembly 230 is provided with a loading plate frame 560 on the side opposite to the drilling assembly 100, and the specific operation process of the second transfer assembly 230 is as follows:

[0066] The second transfer component 230 can move toward the loading plate rack 560 to the second preset position, then rotate 90 degrees around the horizontal line, and then move toward the plate 700 on the loading plate rack 560 to achieve the gripping of the vertically placed plate 700 on the loading plate rack 560.

[0067] The second transfer component 230 drives the gripped sheet 700 to move in the opposite direction to the drilling component 100 to the second preset position, and then drives the sheet 700 to rotate 90 degrees in the opposite direction around the horizontal line to adjust the sheet 700 to a horizontal state. Then it drives the sheet 700 to move to the feeding position for the drilling component 100 to process.

[0068] It should be noted that the order of the moving and rotating actions in this application can be changed, as long as it can achieve the moving and rotating of the plate 700.

[0069] It should be noted that the structure of the second transfer component 230 is the same as that of the first transfer component 200. Therefore, the specific structure of the second transfer robot 231 and the second positioning component 232 and their cooperation with the sheet 700 will not be described in detail.

[0070] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the drilling assembly 100 includes a drilling machine 110 and a material transfer robot 120. The drilling machine 110 is used to drill holes in the sheet metal 700. The material transfer robot 120 is disposed between the discharge position and the drilling machine 110. The material transfer robot 120 is used to grab the sheet metal 700 after it has been processed in the drilling machine 110 and move the sheet metal 700 to the discharge position.

[0071] Specifically, in this application, by setting up the material transfer robot 120, the processed sheet 700 in the drilling assembly 100 can be moved to the discharge position, thereby assisting in the transportation of the sheet 700 and avoiding the problem that the first transfer assembly 200 has limited movement stroke, which affects the transportation of the sheet 700.

[0072] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In another embodiment, a material transfer robot 120 is disposed between the feeding position and the drilling machine 110. The material transfer robot 120 is used to grab the sheet material 700 at the feeding position and move the sheet material 700 into the drilling machine 110.

[0073] Specifically, in this application, by setting up the material transfer robot 120, the sheet 700 located at the feeding position can be moved to the preset processing position within the drilling assembly 100, thereby assisting in the transportation of the sheet 700 and avoiding the problem that the second transfer assembly 230 has limited movement stroke, which would affect the transportation of the sheet 700.

[0074] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3In another embodiment, there are two material transfer robots 120, with one material transfer robot 120 provided between the second transfer component 230 and the drilling component 100, and between the first transfer component 200 and the drilling component 100.

[0075] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 In one embodiment, the drilling device further includes a temporary storage chamber 440 located below the material handling robot 120, with the feeding or discharging position located in the temporary storage chamber 440.

[0076] Specifically, the feeding position is located in the temporary storage bin 440 between the second transfer assembly 230 and the drilling assembly 100. The temporary storage bin 440 is used to temporarily store the board material 700, so that the transfer robot 120 can pick up the board material 700 in the temporary storage bin 440 and put it into the drilling machine 110, or pick up the board material 700 in the drilling machine 110 and put it into the temporary storage bin 440, so that the first transfer robot 210 and the second transfer robot 231 can pick it up.

[0077] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 5 A schematic diagram of a plate holder in a drilling system provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 1 This application embodiment also provides a drilling system, including the drilling device described above, and further including a plate holder 500. The plate holder 500 is disposed below the production line of the drilling device. The plate holder 500 is used to cooperate with the first positioning member 220 for positioning. The plate holder 500 is provided with a plurality of mounting parts 540, which are used to position the plates 700 so that each plate 700 is stored vertically at intervals in the plate holder 500.

[0078] Specifically, a plate rack 500 is provided below and above the drilling device production line. The plate rack 500 is provided with mounting parts 540 spaced horizontally to position the plates 700 so that each plate 700 is stored vertically at intervals in the plate rack 500.

[0079] In this application, a first transfer component 200 and a second transfer component 230 are respectively provided below and above the drilling assembly 100, so that the lower and upper parts of the drilling assembly 100 can dock with the plate holder 500 to realize the transportation of the vertically spaced plates 700. Through the setting of the first positioning member 220 and the second positioning member 232, the plate holder 500 is accurately positioned, so that the first transfer robot 210 and the second transfer robot 231 can accurately grasp the plates 700 on the plate holder 500, thereby improving the reliability of the drilling device.

[0080] See Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , Figure 6 A schematic diagram of a plate holder in a drilling system provided in an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 In one embodiment, the plate frame 500 includes a base plate 520 and a side plate 530 connected to each other. The mounting part 540 is located on the base plate 520 and / or the side plate 530. The base plate 520 and the side plate 530 are used to abut against the plate 700, so that the plate 700 is stably supported while the two sides of the plate 700 are unobstructed, thereby facilitating the gripping of the first transfer robot 210 or the second transfer robot 231.

[0081] Furthermore, the side plate 530 is located on the side of the bottom plate 520 facing the drilling assembly 100, thereby providing protection for the plate 700 and preventing the first transfer robot 210 or the second transfer robot 231 from colliding with the plate 700 during its movement toward the plate frame 500.

[0082] Furthermore, the end of the base plate 520 away from the side plate 530 is raised relative to the side plate 530, so that the plate 700 can be separated towards the side plate 530 under the action of gravity, preventing the plate 700 from moving away from the side plate 530 and falling off the plate frame 500.

[0083] See Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 In one embodiment, the mounting part 540 is provided with a plurality of mounting grooves 550 arranged horizontally and perpendicular to the plane where the sheet 700 is located. Each sheet 700 is inserted into the mounting groove 550, and each mounting groove 550 is used to limit the sheet 700.

[0084] Furthermore, in the horizontal direction parallel to the plane of the sheet metal 700, there are multiple mounting portions 540, which are spaced apart. Mounting portions 540 are provided on both the base plate 520 and the side plate 530.

[0085] See Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 , Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the cooperation between the transfer component, the plate frame, and the transport vehicle in a drilling system according to an embodiment of this application. In one embodiment, the drilling system further includes a transport vehicle 600, which carries the plate frame 500 and moves the plate frame 500 toward the drilling device. The transport vehicle 600 has a limiting member that cooperates with the plate frame 500 to limit the position of the plate frame 500.

[0086] Specifically, the transport vehicle 600 can move the pallet frame 500 between the two support arms 224, and by controlling the support end of the transport vehicle 600, it lowers the pallet frame 500 so that the pallet frame 500 is supported on the support arms 224. The recessed portion 510 on the pallet frame 500 engages with the protrusion on the support arm 224 to transport the pallet frame 500 into place. When the transport vehicle 600 moves the pallet frame 500 away, it can move between the two support arms 224, and then by controlling the support end of the transport vehicle 600 to rise and abut against the pallet frame 500, it simultaneously raises the pallet frame 500 to separate it from the support arms 224.

[0087] Furthermore, the support end of the transport vehicle 600 is provided with a protrusion, which functions as a limiting component. The plate frame 500 is provided with a groove 580, and the protrusion can be inserted into the groove 580 to limit the plate frame 500, enabling the transport vehicle 600 to stably transport the plate frame 500. The insertion of the protrusion into the groove 580 prevents interference when the transport vehicle 600 separates from the plate frame 500; the insertion of the protrusion into the recess 510 prevents interference when the plate frame 500 separates from the support part 221, thus improving reliability.

[0088] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0089] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the patent application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
