Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circuit board unloading and recycling technology, and more specifically, to an automated circuit board unloading and recycling device. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of circuit board manufacturing and processing, the degree of automation in the circuit board unloading and recycling process has a significant impact on production efficiency and cost control. In the existing technology, the automated equipment for circuit board unloading and recycling generally uses a conveyor to transport the circuit boards, and then relies on a robotic arm equipped with grippers to complete the unloading operation.

[0003] However, existing equipment of this type has significant drawbacks. Circuit boards are typically placed horizontally on the conveyor, and due to their thinness, this horizontal, sheet-like shape makes it difficult for the grippers to pick them up. Therefore, we propose an automated circuit board unloading and recycling device to address this issue. Utility Model Content

[0025] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0026] For an example, please refer to...

A lifting device 3 is installed inside the first frame 1. The lifting device 3 includes a lifting structure installed inside the first frame 1. The lifting structure is connected to a plurality of lifting rods 303. The top of the lifting rods 303 passes through the gap between the rollers of the roller conveyor 101. The lifting rods 303 are used to move upward under the drive of the lifting structure to lift the circuit boards conveyed on the roller conveyor 101. This application, through the roller conveyor 101 and the lifting device 3, can lift the circuit boards by the cooperation of the lifting structure and the lifting rods 303, changing the original horizontal placement state of the circuit boards, thereby facilitating the subsequent clamping of the circuit boards. The roller conveyor 101 is installed on the top of the first frame 1 by bolts.

[0027] Furthermore, the lifting structure includes a cylinder 301 installed inside the first frame 1. The piston rod of the cylinder 301 is connected to a support frame 307. A connector is provided between the support frame 307 and the lifting rod 303. The connector includes an elongated opening 302 on the support frame 307. The bottom end of the lifting rod 303 passes through the elongated opening 302. A baffle 304 located above the support frame 307 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the lifting rod 303. A thread is provided on the outer surface of the lifting rod 303 located below the baffle 304. A fastening nut 305 located below the support frame 307 is threadedly connected to the outer surface of the lifting rod 303. The support frame 307 and the piston rod of the cylinder 301 are connected by bolts.

[0028] Furthermore, a protective pad 306 is connected to the top of the lifting rod 303. The protective pad 306 is made of rubber and can be connected to the lifting rod 303 by adhesive bonding.

[0029] Furthermore, a drive structure 2 is installed on the top of the first frame 1, and the drive structure 2 is connected to a pneumatic gripper 4; the drive structure 2 includes a first linear module 201 installed on the top of the first frame 1 and located on one side of the roller conveyor 101, the first linear module 201 is connected to a second linear module 202, and the second linear module 202 is connected to a third linear module 203, the bottom end of the third linear module 203 is connected to the pneumatic gripper 4, the first linear module 201 is bolted to the first frame 1 and the second linear module 202, the second linear module 202 is bolted to the third linear module 203, and the pneumatic gripper 4 is bolted to the bottom end of the third linear module 203.

[0030] Furthermore, the movement trajectory of the second linear module 202 is parallel to the conveying trajectory of the roller conveyor 101, and the horizontal movement trajectory of the third linear module 203 is perpendicular to the conveying trajectory of the roller conveyor 101. The roller conveyor 101, the first linear module 201, the second linear module 202, the third linear module 203, and the pneumatic gripper 4 are all existing components, and their specific structures and principles are all existing technologies, which will not be described in detail in this application.

[0031] Furthermore, a recycling structure is provided on the side of the first rack 1 for recycling circuit boards.

[0032] Furthermore, the recycling structure includes a second frame 102 installed on the side of the first frame 1, and a collection box 104 is placed on top of the second frame 102.

[0033] Furthermore, both the bottom of the second frame 102 and the bottom of the first frame 1 are equipped with wheels, and the bottom of the first frame 1 is also equipped with feet.

[0034] This application employs a PLC controller equipped with a touch screen. A photoelectric sensor is installed inside the first frame 1, and the photoelectric sensor is also located at the gap between the rollers of the roller conveyor 101 and corresponds to the position of the lifting rod 303. When the photoelectric sensor detects a circuit board, the PLC controller controls the cylinder 301 to perform a lifting operation. A vision inspection camera is installed on the third linear module 203 to enable the pneumatic gripper 4 to align with the circuit board. A weighing sensor is installed on the top of the second frame 102 to detect the weight and thus determine the number of circuit boards. The PLC controller is also connected to an alarm. When the number of circuit boards collected reaches the maximum capacity, the alarm will sound to provide a notification. The drive structure 2 and the pneumatic gripper 4 are both controlled by the PLC controller. It should be noted that this part of the automation control is prior art and will not be described in detail in this application.

[0035] In use, the circuit board is conveyed from the top of the roller conveyor 101 towards the lifting rod 303. When the circuit board reaches the lifting rod 303, the cylinder 301 pushes the support frame 307 to rise, and the support frame 307 pushes the lifting rod 303 to rise, thereby lifting the circuit board upward. Then, the first linear module 201, the second linear module 202, and the third linear module 203 cooperate to drive the pneumatic gripper 4 to move to the circuit board. The pneumatic gripper 4 holds the circuit board, and then the circuit board is moved to the collection box 104 for recycling.
