[0028] To further illustrate the technical means and effects adopted by this utility model in order to achieve the intended utility model purpose, the following detailed description of the specific implementation methods, structure, features and effects of this utility model is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.

[0029] like Figure 1-10 As shown in the figure, this embodiment discloses an automated cutting device that integrates automatic loading and unloading.

[0030] An automated cutting device integrating automatic loading and unloading is used to cut a complete PCBA board 6 into individual PCB units and automatically unload them, including: Automatic board loading station 1 includes board loading module 1.1 and frame unloading module 1.2, which is used to lift the frame containing stacked multi-layer PCBA boards 6, input the PCBA boards 6, and then unload the frame in the opposite direction. Positioning V-cutting station 2 includes a conveying component 500, and a clamping component 100 and a cutting component 200 disposed above the conveying component 500; The conveying component 500 is sequentially configured with a conveying area and a positioning area along the conveying direction. The cutting component 200 clamps the positioned PCBA board 6 in the positioning area and pushes it out. The cutting component 200 cuts the V-groove on the PCBA board 6. The visual inspection station 3 includes a visual capture unit 300 located above the positioning U-cutting mechanism, which identifies and locates individual PCB units that fall after cutting. Automatic stacking station 4 has a tray capable of arranging individual PCB units; A transfer component 400 is provided between the visual inspection station 3 and the automatic stacking station 4. The transfer component 400 picks up the PCB unit and transfers it to the automatic stacking station 4, and accurately places it into the material tray.

[0031] The above is the basic scheme of this embodiment.

[0032] Specific reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the automatic loading station 1 is located on the side of the workbench, and the positioning V-cutting station 2, the vision inspection station 3, and the automatic stacking station 4 are all located on the workbench. The operation of each station is controlled by the control console 5.

[0033] During operation, a material frame containing multiple stacked PCBA boards 6 is placed on the automatic loading station 1 for loading. The loading module 1.1 of the automatic loading station 1 loads the PCBA boards 6 in the material frame as single pieces onto the conveying component 500 of the positioning V-cutting station 2. The conveying component 500 conveys the single PCBA board 6 and positions it in the positioning area. After holding it in the positioned state, the clamping component 100 clamps the rear edge of the PCBA board 6, pushing it out. The cutting component 200 cuts the V-groove on the pushed-out part of the PCBA board 6, thus forming a single PCB unit that falls to the vision inspection station 3. The vision capture component 300 on the vision inspection station 3 detects the position of the single PCB board and transmits the position signal to the transfer component 400 through the control console 5. The transfer component 400 accurately picks up the PCB unit and places it into the material tray of the automatic stacking station 4 for unloading.

[0034] Based on the above settings, in this embodiment, the operator only needs to load the material frame with the stacked PCBA boards 6 at the automatic loading station 1 to complete the automatic cutting and unloading of the PCB unit, which greatly improves the cutting efficiency and solves the problems of low efficiency and excessive manual intervention of traditional equipment.

[0035] In this embodiment, multiple PCB units are arranged on the PCBA board 6, and a V-groove is provided between two adjacent rows of PCB units. The cutting component 200 cuts the V-groove portion.

[0036] Specifically, the positioning area is provided with a lateral positioning component, which includes a positioning edge cylinder 10 located on the first side of the positioning area. The positioning edge cylinder 10 positions the entire PCBA board 6 at the Y-axis transfer position. It also includes a side-push cylinder 11, which is located on the second side opposite to the first side, and pushes the entire PCBA board 6 toward the first side.

[0037] Specific reference Figure 3 As shown, the positioning area is located on the output side of the conveying component 500 and is connected to the output end. The positioning components are arranged on two sides along the conveying direction of the conveying component 500. The positioning stop cylinder 10 is located on the conveying component 500 near the output end and is used to limit the PCBA board 6 in the Y-axis and X-axis directions during the conveying process. When the conveying component 500 conveys the PCBA board 6 to the positioning area, the PCBA board 6 is stopped by the positioning stop cylinder 10 and cannot be conveyed further.

[0038] In this embodiment, the conveying component 500 is preferably a pulley structure, and two sets of pulleys are arranged on both sides along the conveying direction. The PCBA board 6 is held on the belt, and the PCBA board 6 moves when the belt moves.

[0039] Specifically, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the positioning edge cylinder 10 is provided with a stop bar 10.1, which extends to the conveying part of the conveying assembly 500. In this embodiment, the conveying part is above the belt, which stops the entire PCBA board 6 during the conveying process.

[0040] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a side-push cylinder 11 is provided on the second side of the conveying assembly 500. The side-push cylinder 11 pushes the PCBA board 6 laterally. That is, a push plate (not shown in the figure) is provided on the side of the side-push cylinder 11, which pushes the PCBA board 6 from the side, so that the PCBA board 6 moves toward the first side of the conveying assembly 500 and is pressed against the positioning edge cylinder 10.

[0041] Based on the above settings, within the positioning area, the PCBA board 6 is directly driven by the belt, meaning the belt always exerts a driving force in the Y-axis direction on the PCBA board 6. This causes the front end of the PCBA board 6 to press against the stop lever 10.1 on the positioning stop cylinder 10. Simultaneously, in conjunction with the lateral push of the side push cylinder 11, one corner of the PCBA board 6 is always pressed against the positioning stop cylinder 10. The position of the positioning stop cylinder 10 is used as a reference for positioning, ensuring accurate positioning.

[0042] Meanwhile, the above settings can accommodate positioning and cutting of PCBA boards of different sizes.

[0043] Furthermore, in order to keep the PCBA board 6 in a positioned state, in this embodiment, the positioning area is also provided with a pressing cylinder 13. The pressing cylinder 13 is located on the first side and / or the second side of the conveying component 500, and presses the positioned PCBA board 6 in the Y-axis direction to maintain its position.

[0044] When the side-push cylinder 11 pushes the PCBA board 6 tightly from the side, the pressing cylinder 13 starts and presses it down from above to keep it in the positioned position.

[0045] Specific reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the pressing cylinder 13 can be set on either side of the conveying assembly 500, or both sides, to simultaneously press the entire PCBA board 6.

[0046] In this embodiment, the conveying component 500 includes two first slide rails 510 arranged side by side. The inner side of the slide rail is provided with a pulley. The entire PCBA board 6 is fed onto the belt and conveyed by the belt. The top of the first slide rail 510 is provided with a slide plate 520, and the clamping assembly 100 is disposed between the two slide plates 520 via the second slide rail 530; The clamping assembly 100 moves along the second slide rail 530 in the X-axis direction and simultaneously moves along the first slide rail 510 in the Y-axis direction.

[0047] Specific reference Figure 5 As shown, the slide plate 520 slides along the first slide rail 510 under the action of the drive component, and the sliding direction is consistent with the conveying direction of the PCBA board 6.

[0048] The clamping assembly 100 includes a clamping head 110 and a clamping cylinder 120 that drives the clamping head 110 to change the clamping space. A sliding frame 540 is provided above the conveying assembly 500, connecting the slide plates 520 at both ends. A second slide rail 530 is disposed on the sliding frame 540 to allow the clamping assembly 100 to slide relative to the sliding frame 540. Furthermore, a slide block is provided on the second slide rail 530, and a lifting assembly 550 is disposed between the clamping assembly 100 and the slide block, capable of driving the clamping assembly 100 to move up and down in the Z-axis direction.

[0049] When the PCBA board 6 enters the positioning area for positioning, the clamping assembly 100 moves to the rear of the positioning area under the action of the first slide rail 510. At this time, the height of the clamping assembly 100 is higher than the height of the PCBA board 6 to avoid interference during movement. After positioning is completed, the control system controls the clamping assembly 100 to move. The clamping assembly 100 moves along the first slide rail 510 to a position close to the rear edge of the PCBA board 6. At the same time, the slide block and the lifting assembly 550 cooperate to drive the clamping assembly 100, so that the PCBA board 6 is in front of the clamping space of the clamping head 110. The slide plate 520 moves again, and the clamping head 110 moves towards one side of the PCBA board 6, so that the rear edge of the PCBA board 6 enters the clamping space of the clamping head 110. The clamping cylinder 120 is activated, so that the clamping head 110 clamps the rear edge of the PCBA board 6.

[0050] After clamping is completed, the lateral positioning component and the pressure cylinder 13 are closed, releasing the PCBA board 6. At the same time, the sliding frame 540 moves on the first slide rail 510, pushing the PCBA board 6 forward, so that the front end of the PCBA board 6 is pushed out to the output end of the conveying component 500 for the cutting component 200 to cut it.

[0051] The output end of the conveying component 500 is provided with a gantry bracket 14, and the gantry bracket 14 is provided with a third slide rail 15 extending along the X-axis direction. The cutting component 200 is disposed on the third slide rail 15. Furthermore, a sliding seat 16 is provided between the cutting component 200 and the third slide rail 15, and the cutting component 200 has a displacement relative to the sliding seat 16 along the Z-axis direction.

[0052] Specific reference Figure 6 As shown, the cutting component 200 is located at the output end of the conveying component 500 and can only slide along the X-axis on the gantry bracket 14 and slide relative to the sliding seat 16 in the Z-axis direction to cut the entire PC board.

[0053] The third slide rail 15 extends along the top rod of the gantry bracket 14, and the sliding seat 16 slides on the third slide rail 15. The cutting assembly 200 includes a cutting blade 210 and a lifting cylinder 220 that drives the cutting blade 210 to move up and down. The lifting cylinder 220 is fixed on the sliding seat 16 and drives the cutting blade 210 to move up and down below the sliding seat 16.

[0054] Furthermore, in this embodiment, a cutting groove 16.1 is provided below the sliding seat 16. The bottom opening of the cutting groove 16.1 allows the lower end of the cutting blade 210 to extend out and cut the PCBA board 6 below. Most of the blades of the cutting blade 210 are located in the cutting groove 16.1. The lifting cylinder 220 extends into the cutting groove 16.1 to drive the cutting blade 210.

[0055] In order to collect the waste generated during cutting, the cutting groove 16.1 is connected to a collection pipe 17. An external suction device is used to suction the cutting groove 16.1. The waste generated by the cutting blade 210 cutting the PCBA board 6 below the cutting groove 16.1 is sucked into the cutting groove 16.1 and collected to the outside along the collection pipe 17.

[0056] In this embodiment, the visual detection mechanism includes a conveyor platform 18 connected to the output end of the conveyor mechanism, and a backlight source that can be captured by the visual capture element 300 is provided below the conveyor platform 18. The conveyor belt of the conveyor platform 18 is a transparent belt.

[0057] Preferred options, please refer to the specific details. Figure 7 As shown, the vision capture device 300 is a camera, which is mounted above the conveyor platform 18 via the mounting bracket 19. The conveyor belt on the surface of the conveyor platform 18 is made of transparent material, and a light source is provided inside the conveyor platform 18 to illuminate the PCB units on the conveyor belt, making it convenient for the vision capture device 300 to position and capture them.

[0058] In this embodiment, the input end of the conveyor 18 is located in front of the cutter 210. That is, when the cutter 210 descends, it will not collide with the conveyor 18. At the same time, the input end of the conveyor 18 is provided with a downwardly inclined guide surface 18.1. The part of the PCBA board 6 located in front of the V-groove abuts against the upper end of the guide surface 18.1. After the cutter 210 cuts along the V-groove, this part of the PCB unit slides down along the guide surface 18.1 to the conveyor 18, and moves along the conveyor belt to the middle part of the conveyor 18, so that it can be captured by the vision capture device 300.

[0059] In this embodiment, the automatic loading station 1 has two functions: loading and unloading. The specific implementation method is as follows: The upper plate module 1.1 includes a suspended basket 1.11 that is slidably disposed along the Y-axis, and the frame retraction module 1.2 is disposed on the other side of the suspended basket 1.11; The ejection module 1.2 is equipped with a push rod (not shown in the figure) to push the entire PCBA board 6 on the basket 1.11 to the positioning V-cutting station 2.

[0060] Specific reference Figure 8 As shown, the upper plate module 1.1 is located between the conveyor assembly 500 and the unloading module 1.2. The operator places the stacked PCBA boards 6 into the basket 1.11. The control console 5 controls the basket 1.11 to rise, raising the PCBA boards 6 to the input end of the conveyor assembly 500. At this time, the unloading module has a push rod that pushes the topmost PCBA board 6 towards the conveyor assembly 500, moving it onto the conveyor belt for transport. After one PCBA board 6 is pushed out, the push rod retracts, and the control system controls the basket 1.11 to rise a short distance again, aligning the top PCBA board 6 with the push rod, allowing the push rod to push it out, thus sequentially loading the stacked PCBA boards 6.

[0061] After the material is loaded, the control system starts the conveying module on the hanging basket 1.11 and the conveying direction is backward to push the material frame out.

[0062] In order to load and unload the material frame, in this embodiment, the unloading module 1.2 includes an unloading conveying component 5001.21 and an loading conveying component 5001.22 arranged vertically, and the unloading conveying component 5001.21 and the loading conveying component 5001.22 are in opposite directions; The height of the frame ejection conveyor 5001.21 and the hanging basket 1.11 is the same at the highest position, and the height of the frame infeed conveyor 5001.22 and the hanging basket 1.11 is the same at the lowest position.

[0063] The push rod is located at the bottom of the frame retraction conveyor assembly 5001.21 and extends toward the basket 1.11.

[0064] The operator places the stacked PCBA boards 6 into the infeed conveyor assembly 5001.22. The infeed conveyor assembly 5001.22 conveys the board to the basket 1.11, which lifts the board to load the PCBA boards 6. After all the PCBA boards 6 in the board are loaded, the conveyor module on the basket 1.11 starts, reversing the empty board to the unloading conveyor assembly 5001.21, which then unloads the empty board.

[0065] In this embodiment, the infeed conveyor assembly 5001.22, the outfeed conveyor assembly 5001.21, and the conveyor module on the suspended basket 1.11 are all belt pulley conveyor structures.

[0066] In this embodiment, the specific implementation of the transfer component 400 is as follows: the transfer component 400 includes a robotic arm 410 and a plurality of suction nozzles 420 disposed on the robotic arm 410, which adsorb the cut PCB units and transfer them to an automatic stacking mechanism.

[0067] The suction nozzle 420 is connected to an external suction device. After the PCB unit is adsorbed, the robotic arm 410 rotates and places the PCB unit into the automatic stacking station 4.

[0068] In this embodiment, the suction method of the nozzle 420 to adsorb the PCB unit is the same as the suction structure in the prior art, and will not be described in detail here.

[0069] In this embodiment, the automatic stacking station 4 is provided with a material replenishment position 4.1, a material filling position 4.2, and a material unloading position 4.3 arranged in sequence, as well as a transfer component 600 that moves at the bottom of the material replenishment position 4.1, the material filling position 4.2, and the material unloading position 4.3; The transfer component 600 transfers the entire row of trays containing PCB units to the unloading position 4.3, while simultaneously replenishing empty trays to the full loading position 4.2.

[0070] Specific reference Figure 9 As shown, the transfer assembly 600 includes a loading plate 620 and a unloading plate 630 driven by a linear conveyor module 610. The loading plate 620 reciprocates between the loading plate replenishment position 4.1 and the loading position 4.2, and the unloading plate 630 reciprocates between the loading position 4.2 and the unloading position 4.3. After the trays on the loading position 4.2 are arranged, the linear conveyor module 610 simultaneously drives the loading plate 620 and the unloading plate 630. The unloading plate 630 removes the trays on the loading position 4.2 and transfers them to the unloading position 4.3; at the same time, the loading plate 620 removes the empty trays from the loading plate replenishment position and transfers them to the loading position 4.2.

[0071] Specific reference Figure 10 As shown, the material replenishment position 4.1, the material preparation position 4.2, and the unloading position 4.3 are all provided with cutouts that can accommodate the unloading plate 630 and the loading plate 620. The loading plate 620 or the unloading plate 630 is pushed by the top push cylinder 640, and the material tray is replenished and received at the work station through the cutouts.

[0072] The material replenishment position 4.1 and the unloading position 4.3 are equipped with a clamping plate 21 and a cylinder 20 to limit the material tray. At the material replenishment position 4.1, when the upper material plate 620 is below the hollow part, the clamping plate 21 and cylinder 20 drive the L-shaped clamping plate 21 to retract, causing the material tray to fall onto the upper material plate 620. The clamping plate 21 and cylinder 20 then drive the clamping plate 21 to extend in again, so that the clamping plate 21 is inserted between the two bottom material trays. That is, the bottom material tray can move with the upper material plate 620, while the upper material tray is stopped at the material replenishment position 4.1 by the action of the clamping plate 21. At the unloading position 4.3, when the trays containing PCB units are driven into the unloading position 4.3 by the unloading plate 630 and held under the bottom tray of the unloading position 4.3, the clamping plate 21 cylinder 20 drives the clamping plate 21 to retract, and the push cylinder 640 drives the unloading plate 630 to rise, so that the trays on the unloading plate 630 enter the upper part of the cutout. The clamping plate 21 cylinder 20 then drives the clamping plate 21 to extend in and limit and receive the bottom tray. The unloading plate 630 then exits downward from the cutout, thus completing the unloading.

[0073] A limiting cylinder 30 is installed on the hollow side of the material preparation position 4.2. A limiting plate 31 is installed on the limiting cylinder 30.
