Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic component processing technology, specifically to a 180° linkage flipping device for production line processing. Background Technology

[0002] With the continuous improvement of the integration of electronic devices, workpieces in the field of electronic component processing (such as large PCB assemblies, precision power modules, core modules of communication base stations, etc.) need to be flipped multiple times during the production process to complete the welding, mounting or testing of double-sided components.

[0003] Currently, the industry commonly uses a manual flipping method with simple supports, which has many intractable drawbacks, severely restricting production efficiency and quality. Specific problems include: high safety risks; uneven force during flipping can cause workpieces to slip and collide; and prolonged work flipping can lead to occupational health problems such as lumbar muscle strain and joint injuries, resulting in a high accident rate. Manual flipping is time-consuming per operation; in large-scale production scenarios, the flipping process becomes a bottleneck in production line rhythm, leading to reduced overall capacity. Furthermore, manual operation is susceptible to fatigue, resulting in significant efficiency fluctuations. Additionally, manual flipping relies on experience for positioning, making it difficult to guarantee accurate workpiece posture after flipping, which can lead to misalignment and poor soldering during subsequent component installation, further increasing labor costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] In view of the deficiencies in the existing technology, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a 180° linkage flipping device for production line processing, which can automatically flip the workpiece to improve processing efficiency and quality.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a 180° linkage flipping device for production line processing, including a U-shaped frame, a sliding rod and a linkage mechanism; the U-shaped frame is provided with sliding sleeves at both ends, and the sliding rod slides through the sliding sleeves; the linkage mechanism includes a pair of meshing gears, and a rotating rod arranged radially on the two gears is fixed thereon, the rotating rod and the end of the sliding rod are hinged to each other, and the end of the sliding rod and the rotating rod is also connected to a flip plate, and the surface of the flip plate is provided with a suction module.

[0006] In this technical solution, the sliding rods located at both ends of the U-shaped frame can rotate around the sliding sleeve and slide along its length. The linkage mechanism can move the flip plate to a horizontal position and a vertical position. When in the horizontal position, one of the flip plates can hold the workpiece through the suction module. After the two gears rotate and move the flip plate to the vertical position, the two flip plates can be arranged facing each other. After the suction module is released, the workpiece is held by the suction module on the other flip plate and rotated to the horizontal position, realizing a 180° flip of the workpiece.

[0018] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. These embodiments are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0019] It should be noted that, unless otherwise stated, the technical or scientific terms used in this application shall have the ordinary meaning as understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, a specific embodiment of this utility model provides a production line processing 180°

[0021] The linkage flipping device includes a U-shaped frame 100, a slide rod 200, and a linkage mechanism; the U-shaped frame 100 has sliding sleeves 300 at both ends, and the slide rod 200 slides through the sliding sleeves 300; the linkage mechanism includes a pair of meshing gears 400, and a rotating rod 500 arranged radially on the two gears 400. The rotating rod 500 is hinged to the end of the slide rod 200, and a flip plate 600 is connected to the hinged end of the slide rod 200 and the rotating rod 500. The surface of the flip plate 600 is provided with a suction module.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, through the above configuration, in this embodiment, the sliding rods 200 located at both ends of the U-shaped frame 100 can rotate around the sliding sleeve 300 and slide along its length. The linkage mechanism can move the flip plate 600 to a horizontal position and a vertical position. When in the horizontal position, one of the flip plates 600 can hold the workpiece through the suction module. After the two gears 400 rotate and move the flip plate 600 to the vertical position, the two flip plates 600 can be arranged facing each other. After the suction module is released, the workpiece is held by the suction module on the other flip plate 600 and rotated to the horizontal position, realizing a 180° flip of the workpiece. The mechanized flipping operation avoids errors during manual flipping, reduces manual labor, and improves processing efficiency and quality. In practical applications, this device is installed at a production line station. One flipper 600 is positioned upstream of the production line when horizontal, while the other flipper 600 is positioned downstream. The device can be linked with the PLC system of existing electronic component production lines (such as SMT placement lines and module assembly lines) through the IO interface to achieve fully automated connection of component loading → flipping → unloading → subsequent processing without manual intervention. At the same time, the equipment supports data interaction with the MES system (can upload flipping count, pass rate, and fault information), which facilitates production process control and adapts to the management needs of intelligent factories.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in order to install the gear 400 set on the U-shaped frame 100 after meshing, this embodiment has a mounting base for mounting the gear 400 at the bottom of the U-shaped frame 100. One of the gears 400 is connected to a drive module 800, which can drive the gear 400 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, so that the two rotating rods 500 rotate to a horizontal or vertical position. The drive module 800 can be a motor module, used to drive the gear 400 to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. It is linked to the production line through the I / O harness. The synchronicity of the gear 400 meshing transmission ensures that the two rotating rods 500 drive the slide rod 200 and the flip plate 600 in precise linkage, avoiding horizontal or angular deviations after the workpiece is flipped. Subsequent processes do not require secondary adjustments, thus improving the product qualification rate.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the suction module includes an array of negative pressure suction cups 610 arranged on the front of the flip plate 600. The negative pressure suction cups 610 are connected to a cylinder module 700 via negative pressure pipelines. The suction module uses the array of negative pressure suction cups 610, and the cylinder module 700 adjusts the negative pressure value to stably suction workpieces of different materials, such as PCB boards and precision modules (with components on the surface). The negative pressure suction cups 610 are made of silicone, and there is no rigid compression when they come into contact with the workpiece, which can avoid damage to surface components and solder joints.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, a linear bearing that slides and engages with the slide rod 200 is installed inside the sliding sleeve 300. The linear bearing inside the sliding sleeve 300 ensures that the clearance between the slide rod 200 and the bearing is ≤0.05mm, reducing sliding resistance by 60%, preventing jamming and wear of the slide rod 200 due to long-term use, and reducing annual maintenance costs.

[0026] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a mounting bracket 900 is provided at one end of the slide rod 200 that is hinged to the rotating rod 500. The mounting bracket 900 is detachably connected to the connecting part located at the edge of the flip plate 600. The flip plate 600 is detachably connected to the slide rod 200 through the mounting bracket 900, which facilitates the replacement of different sizes of flip plates 600 during production, and its adaptability is far superior to traditional special equipment.

[0027] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the U-shaped frame 100 has a fixed base 1000 at its bottom, which allows the entire device to be arranged in the corresponding area of ​​the production line.

[0028] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of this utility model.
