[0020] The production line unit is used to transport workpieces containing PCB boards. It includes a conveyor frame 2, which is a frame structure formed by splicing metal profiles. The bottom of the frame is equipped with leveling pads to ensure smooth transport. A set of double-speed chains is mounted on each of the two parallel side beams of the conveyor frame 2. The two sets of double-speed chains are arranged opposite each other and have the same transmission direction. A three-phase asynchronous motor 3 is fixed to the outer wall of the conveyor frame 2 by bolts. The output shaft of the three-phase asynchronous motor 3 is connected to a reducer through a coupling. The output end of the reducer is connected to the drive wheel of the double-speed chain through a chain to achieve synchronous drive of the double-speed chain.

[0021] The workpiece plate 1 is a rectangular metal plate, with its two sides fixed to the chain plates of two sets of double-speed chains via buckles or bolts. It slides along the length of the conveyor frame 2 as the double-speed chains rotate. Several sets of fixing components are fixed to the upper surface of the workpiece plate 1 by screws. The number of fixing components matches the number of PCB boards to be assembled. Each fixing component includes two positioning pins and one elastic pressure plate. The positioning pins correspond to the positioning holes on the PCB board to achieve precise positioning of the PCB board. One end of the elastic pressure plate is fixed to the workpiece plate 1, and the other end elastically presses against the upper surface of the PCB board to prevent the PCB board from shifting during transport. The fixing components are fixed platforms, and the PCB boards are placed and fixed on these platforms.

The slider of the longitudinal electric cylinder 5 moves horizontally longitudinally, and the axis of the longitudinal electric cylinder 5 is perpendicular to the axis of the lateral electric cylinder 4. A vertical rod 6 is fixed to the slider of the longitudinal electric cylinder 5 via a flange. The vertical rod 6 is a cylindrical metal rod with its axis pointing vertically downward.

[0023] Lifting and gripping mechanism: The lower end of the vertical rod 6 is fixed with a fixing plate 7 by bolts. The fixing plate 7 is a rectangular metal plate with its surface set horizontally. On the inner side of the fixing plate 7 (the side closest to the vertical rod 6), two first lifting electric cylinders 8 are fixed with screws. The two first lifting electric cylinders 8 are located on both sides of the vertical rod 6, and their output shafts are vertically downward. The output shaft ends of the first lifting electric cylinders 8 are fixed with a lifting plate 9 by bolts. The lifting plate 9 is a rectangular metal plate parallel to the fixing plate 7. At the center of the lower surface of the lifting plate 9, a gripper cylinder 10 is fixed with screws. The inner sides of the two grippers of the gripper cylinder 10 are provided with arc-shaped grooves that fit the outer periphery of the middle cover. The inner wall of the groove is pasted with anti-slip rubber pads to ensure stability when gripping the middle cover.

[0024] Correction Components: The lifting plate 9 has three through-holes, which are distributed in an equilateral triangle on the outside of the gripper cylinder 10. A first bushing 11 is fixed in each bushing 11 by interference fit. A vertical shaft 12 slides through the first bushing 11. The upper end of the vertical shaft 12 is fixed with a limit plate 13 by a nut (the diameter of the limit plate 13 is larger than the inner diameter of the first bushing 11 to prevent the vertical shaft 12 from coming out of the lower end of the first bushing 11).

The two round rods 16 are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the gripper cylinder 10, and their axes are vertically upward. A top plate 17, which is a rectangular metal plate, is fixed to the upper end of the round rods 16 by screws. A limit cylinder 18 is fixed to the center of the upper surface of the top plate 17 by screws. The output shaft of the limit cylinder 18 penetrates the top plate 17 vertically downward, and a limit post 19 is fixed to the end of the output shaft by screws. The lower end of the limit post 19 is in movable contact with the upper surface of the limit plate 13. The limit cylinder 18 is adjusted by screws. The telescopic adjustment limit plate 13 of cylinder 18 adjusts the vertical position, thereby controlling the maximum descent stroke of orthopedic fixture 14; a stop post 20 is screwed to the center of the limit plate 13. The stop post 20 is an externally threaded cylindrical structure. A stop seat 21 is fixed to the upper surface of the lifting plate 9 with screws corresponding to the position of the stop post 20. The upper surface of the stop seat 21 has a threaded hole that matches the stop post 20. The lower end of the stop post 20 is screwed into the threaded hole of the stop seat 21. By rotating the stop post 20, the distance between the limit plate 13 and the lifting plate 9 can be finely adjusted, thereby adjusting the initial compression of the spring 15.

[0026] The orthopedic fixture 14 is a one-piece metal structure, including a ring 141 and three orthopedic blocks 142. The inner diameter of the ring 141 is larger than the outer diameter of the gripper cylinder 10. It is fitted on the outside of the gripper cylinder 10 and fixedly connected to the vertical shaft 12. The three orthopedic blocks 142 are evenly distributed on the lower surface of the ring 141 and extend inward along the radial direction of the ring 141. Two vertical orthopedic grooves 143 are opened on the inner sidewall of each orthopedic block 142. The cross-sectional dimensions of the orthopedic grooves 143 are adapted to the cross-sectional dimensions of the middle cover pins. The lower opening of the orthopedic grooves 143 is machined into a trumpet-shaped guide structure to facilitate the smooth entry of the middle cover pins into the orthopedic grooves 143 and realize the correction of the pins.

[0027] The outer side of the fixing plate 7 (the side away from the vertical rod 6) is fixed with screws to a second lifting electric cylinder 22, the output shaft of the second lifting electric cylinder 22 is vertically downward; the end of the output shaft of the second lifting electric cylinder 22 is fixed with bolts to a lifting seat 23, the lower surface of the lifting seat 23 is fixed with screws to multiple sets of connecting vacuum rods, the lower end of each set of connecting vacuum rods is installed with a vacuum suction cup 24 through a threaded joint, the vacuum suction cup 24 is connected to an external vacuum system through an air pipe, and the negative pressure adsorbs the upper surface of the PCB board, and the vacuum suction cup 24 picks up the unassembled and unqualified products and puts them onto the NG rejection unit.

[0028] The lifting and detection unit is used to lift the assembled workpiece and detect whether the pins of the middle cover are inserted in place. It includes a lifting mechanism, a detection drive mechanism, and a pin detection assembly. Lifting Mechanism: The mounting base 25 is a rectangular metal frame, which is fixed to the bottom of the frame of the platform control unit by bolts; a second bushing 26 is fixed to each of the four corners of the mounting base 25 by screws, and the four second bushings 26 are distributed in a rectangular array with their axes vertically upward; a first lifting shaft 27 is slidably inserted in each second bushing 26, and a lifting plate 28 (a rectangular metal plate with its upper surface adapted to the lower surface of the workpiece plate 1) is fixed to the upper end of the first lifting shaft 27 by bolts; a lifting cylinder 29 is fixed to the center of the mounting base 25 by screws, the output shaft of the lifting cylinder 29 is vertically upward, and the end of the output shaft is fixed to the center of the lower surface of the lifting plate 28 by bolts. The lifting plate 28 is moved up and down along the second bushings 26 by the extension and retraction of the lifting cylinder 29, thereby lifting and lowering the workpiece plate 1.

[0029] A suspended plate 30 is fixed to the lower surface of the lifting plate 28 by several connecting rods. The connecting rods are evenly distributed at the edge of the lifting plate 28, so that the suspended plate 30 is parallel to the lifting plate 28 and spaced apart. Six cylinder plates 31 are fixed to the upper surface of the suspended plate 30 by screws. The six cylinder plates 31 are arranged in a rectangular array and correspond to the positions of the fixing components on the workpiece plate 1. Each cylinder plate 31 has four mounting holes arranged in a rectangular array. A third bushing is fixed in each mounting hole by interference fit (the third bushing also passes through the suspended plate 30). A second lifting shaft 32 slides through the third bushing. The lower end of the second lifting shaft 32 is fixed with a square plate 33 by bolts. The middle part of the second lifting shaft 32 is fixed with a surrounding plate 34 by screws. The surrounding plate 34 is a rectangular plate with a notch on one side. The lifting cylinder 35 is located in the notch and is sleeved on the outside of the lifting cylinder 35. The center of the upper surface of the cylinder plate 31 is fixed with the lifting cylinder 35 by screws. The output shaft of the lifting cylinder 35 extends vertically upward through the cylinder plate 31 and the suspension plate 30. The end of the output shaft is fixed with bolts to the lower surface of the square plate 33. The extension and retraction of the lifting cylinder 35 drives the second lifting shaft 32 to move up and down along the third bushing, thereby driving the surrounding plate 34 and the pin detection assembly to rise and fall.

[0030] Pin detection assembly: A detection post 36, a long strip of metal, is fixed to the upper outer wall of the enclosure 34 by screws. The detection post 36 has an internal mounting groove, within which two detection plates 37 are hinged by a pin. The two detection plates 37 are symmetrically distributed and can rotate around the pin. The detection plates 37 are elastic metal sheets, with their upper ends extending outwards from the detection post 36 to contact the pins of the middle cover, and their lower ends located inside the detection post 36. A photoelectric sensor 38 is mounted on the middle side wall of the detection post 36 by screws, with the detection end of the photoelectric sensor 38 facing inwards from the detection post 36. When the upper end of the detection plate 37 contacts the pin of the middle cover, the detection plate 37 rotates around the pin, and its lower end rotates to the detection end of the photoelectric sensor 38, triggering the photoelectric sensor 38 to emit a detection signal, indicating that the pin is inserted correctly. If the pin is not inserted correctly, the detection plate 37 does not rotate, the photoelectric sensor 38 has no signal output, and the assembly is deemed unqualified.

[0031] A column 39 is fixed to each of the four edges of the mounting base 25 by screws. A mounting top plate 40, adapted to the mounting base 25, is bolted to the upper end of each column 39. The upper surface of the mounting top plate 40 corresponds to the conveying path of the workpiece plate 1, and a blocking cylinder 41 is fixed thereby by screws. The output shaft of the blocking cylinder 41 extends vertically downwards through the mounting top plate 40. When the workpiece plate 1 is conveyed to the designated assembly position, the output shaft of the blocking cylinder 41 extends and abuts against the front end face of the workpiece plate 1, thus limiting and positioning the workpiece plate 1 and preventing over-conveying. The conveyor frame 2 is also equipped with a blocking cylinder for limiting the workpiece plate 1.

[0032] The platform control unit includes a frame, a safety enclosure, and an electrical control box. The frame is a steel structure frame used to fix functional units such as the production line unit, the transplanting and pressing unit, and the lifting and detection unit. The safety enclosure is made of transparent acrylic panels and covers the outside of the frame. One side of the safety enclosure has an openable safety door, and safety light curtains are installed on the edge of the safety enclosure. When the safety door is opened or an object is inserted into the device, the equipment automatically stops to ensure operational safety. The electrical control box is fixed to one side of the frame and contains electrical components such as a PLC controller, servo driver, and relays. It is connected to the motors, cylinders, and sensors of each unit through wires to realize the automated control of the equipment.

[0033] Transplanting unit: A four-axis robot arm is used. The end effector of the robot arm is equipped with a gripper or a vacuum suction cup. The position of the middle cover in the docking equipment is identified by a vision positioning system. After the robot arm moves to the position of the middle cover, it grabs the middle cover by gripping it with the gripper or suction cup and then transfers the middle cover to the positioning fixture of the A / B track buffer unit.

[0034] A / B Track Buffer Unit: Includes two parallel conveying tracks, each track has a rodless cylinder and a positioning fixture. The slider of the rodless cylinder is fixedly connected to the positioning fixture, driving the positioning fixture to move along the track. After the transfer unit places the middle cover on the positioning fixture, the rodless cylinder drives the positioning fixture to a position that the transfer pressing unit can grasp. When the positioning fixture of one track is feeding material, the positioning fixture of the other track can receive the middle cover conveyed by the transfer unit, realizing continuous buffer supply of the middle cover and improving assembly efficiency.

[0035] NG Removal Unit: Includes a miniature conveyor line and two photoelectric sensors. The input end of the conveyor line is located within the working range of the transfer pressing unit, and the output end extends to the outside of the equipment. The two photoelectric sensors are respectively installed at the input and output ends of the conveyor line. The photoelectric sensor at the input end is used to detect whether there are any defective products being placed in, and the photoelectric sensor at the output end is used to detect whether the conveyor line is full of defective products. When the lifting detection unit determines that the product assembly is defective, the vacuum suction cup 24 of the transfer unit grabs the defective product and places it at the input end of the conveyor line. The conveyor line starts to transport the defective product to the output end. When the photoelectric sensor at the output end detects a product, it determines that the conveyor line is full, and the equipment issues a warning signal to remind the operator to remove the defective product.

[0036] Working principle of this utility model: The operator places the PCB board on the fixing component of the workpiece plate 1. The positioning pin and the elastic pressure plate realize the positioning and fixing of the PCB board. The three-phase asynchronous motor 3 starts and drives the double speed chain to move the workpiece plate 1 along the conveyor frame 2 into the device. When the workpiece plate 1 moves to the designated assembly position, the output shaft of the blocking cylinder 41 extends and abuts against the workpiece plate 1 to realize positioning, and the double speed chain stops running. The transplanting unit uses visual positioning to grasp the middle cover in the docking device and places the middle cover on the positioning fixture of the A / B rail buffer unit; the rodless cylinder drives the positioning fixture to move to the grasping position of the transplanting pressing unit, waiting to be grasped; The transverse electric cylinder 4 and the longitudinal electric cylinder 5 work together to drive the gripper cylinder 10 to move above the positioning fixture of the A / B rail buffer unit; the first lifting electric cylinder 8 drives the lifting plate 9 to descend, and the gripper cylinder 10 closes to grip the middle cover; at the same time, the orthopedic fixture 14 descends with the lifting plate 9, and the pins of the middle cover enter the orthopedic groove 143 under the guidance of the flared guide groove. The spring 15 provides elastic pressure, so that the orthopedic groove 143 corrects the pins and eliminates the bending deformation of the pins; The horizontal electric cylinder 4 and the vertical electric cylinder 5 work together again to move the corrected middle cover to the top of the PCB board on the workpiece material plate 1; the second lifting electric cylinder 22 drives the vacuum suction cup 24 to descend, and the vacuum suction cup 24 adsorbs the upper surface of the PCB board to achieve auxiliary fixation; the first lifting electric cylinder 8 continues to drive the lifting plate 9 to descend, inserting the pins of the middle cover into the corresponding holes of the PCB board to complete the assembly. The lifting cylinder 29 is activated, driving the lifting plate 28 to rise, which in turn drives the workpiece plate 1 and the assembled product to rise synchronously to the detection position; the lifting cylinder 35 is activated, driving the detection column 36 to rise, so that the upper end of the detection piece 37 contacts the pin of the middle cover; if the pin is inserted in place, the detection piece 37 rotates and triggers the photoelectric sensor 38, and the equipment determines that the product is qualified; if the pin is not inserted in place, the photoelectric sensor 38 has no signal, and the equipment determines that the product is unqualified. After the inspection is completed, the lifting cylinder 29 drives the lifting plate 28 to fall back, and the workpiece plate 1 is placed back into the conveyor frame 2. If the product is qualified, the output shaft of the blocking cylinder 41 is retracted, and the double-speed chain starts to transport the workpiece plate 1 to the next process. If the product is unqualified, the vacuum suction cup 24 of the transfer unit grabs the unqualified product and places it on the conveyor line of the NG rejection unit. The conveyor line transports the unqualified product to the output end for storage, waiting for the operator to pick it up.
