Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of soldering equipment technology, and more specifically to a semi-automatic soldering machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing process of electronic products, soldering circuit boards to wire connectors is a fundamental step. Traditional soldering operations are mostly completed manually, but this method has several drawbacks.

[0003] For example, the high labor intensity requires operators to perform manual soldering for extended periods, which can easily lead to fatigue, affecting efficiency and soldering quality. Furthermore, the inconsistent quality of solder joints, due to significant differences in skill levels among operators, results in inconsistent temperature control, uneven solder volume and solder joint strength, easily leading to incomplete soldering, short circuits, or detachment. Additionally, production efficiency is low; the limited speed of manual soldering makes it difficult to meet the high-volume requirements of modern electronic product production lines. Moreover, manual operation carries low safety risks; the high-temperature soldering iron and molten solder pose a risk of burns, and the fumes and harmful gases from soldering also pose certain health hazards to operators.

[0004] To address the aforementioned issues, some semi-automatic or fully automatic soldering equipment has emerged. However, existing technologies have the following shortcomings: some semi-automatic soldering machines have strict requirements for product positioning, are inconvenient to change models, and have poor adaptability; the coordination between soldering and feeding / unloading is not close enough, resulting in low overall operating efficiency; and the unloading and handling structure is simple, which can easily cause damage to soldered products or make them unstable.

[0005] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a semi-automatic soldering machine that is structurally sound, easy to operate, highly efficient, and adaptable, in order to improve the shortcomings of existing technologies. Utility Model Content

[0006] In view of this, the present invention provides a semi-automatic soldering machine.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0008] A semi-automatic soldering machine includes: a cabinet with a loading opening on its front side corresponding to the loading position, and a control device for control or adjustment on the top of the cabinet; a loading assembly including a horizontally rotatable disc with multiple workstations on the disc, each workstation having a fixed plate and at least two fixed brackets for positioning connecting wires, the disc being driven to rotate by a motor to sequentially rotate the workstations to preset processing positions; a soldering assembly installed inside the cabinet, including a temperature controller, a solder roll, a solder wire controller, a soldering iron, and a solder outlet, the soldering iron and the solder outlet being connected by a vertically movable slider and a slide rail, and cooperating with a cylinder to move up and down, so as to complete the soldering operation when the product rotates to the corresponding processing position; and an unloading assembly including a clamping part that can move horizontally and vertically, the clamping part having at least three downward grippers, each gripper consisting of a cylinder and a jaw, for clamping and transporting the soldered product to the unloading area, the cabinet having an unloading opening on the side corresponding to the unloading assembly, through which the operator can remove the finished product.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment, the control device includes a touch-screen microcomputer and control buttons.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment, a table is provided on the front side of the cabinet corresponding to the loading opening, for workers to place products to be processed.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment, the fixing bracket is used to clamp the extension portion of the connecting wire to maintain a relatively fixed placement.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment, the soldering iron and the solder outlet of the soldering assembly move synchronously to achieve precise soldering.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment, after the gripper of the unloading assembly clamps the product, it is driven by a drive mechanism to move vertically upward and then horizontally to transport the product to the unloading area. The drive mechanism includes a vertical cylinder for driving the gripper to move vertically, and a cylinder and multi-axis slide rail cooperation structure for driving the gripper to move horizontally.

[0014] In the preferred embodiment, after the unloading component is reset, the disc continues to rotate to the next workstation, thus achieving cyclic operation.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment, an air pump filter is installed on the outside of the cabinet to filter and purify the air source.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment, the bottom of the disk is provided with multiple support rollers to support the smooth rotation of the disk.

[0017] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:

[0018] The multi-station design with a rotating disc and automated soldering components enable semi-automated operation of loading, soldering, and unloading, significantly improving soldering speed.

In the description of this application, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.

[0026] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise expressly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," and "linking" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to fixed connections, detachable connections, or integral connections; they can refer to mechanical connections or electrical connections; they can refer to direct connections or indirect connections through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application according to the specific circumstances.

[0027] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a semi-automatic soldering machine, including a cabinet 1, a feeding assembly 2, a soldering assembly 3, and a discharging assembly 4. The cabinet 1 is manufactured using a metal frame structure or a sheet metal cabinet structure, and is an overall rectangular box. A feeding opening 11 is provided on the front side of the cabinet 1 corresponding to the feeding assembly 2, and a table 12 is provided below the opening for operators to place circuit boards, plugs, and connecting wires to be processed. A control device 13 is installed on the top of the cabinet 1, including a touch-screen microcomputer and control buttons, used for inputting production parameters, adjusting temperature, controlling the rotation of the rotating disc, and discharging. A discharging opening 15 is provided on one side of the cabinet 1 corresponding to the discharging assembly 4, through which operators can remove the soldered products. An air pump filter 16 is installed on the outside of the cabinet 1 to filter and purify the air source, ensuring stable operation of the pneumatic components.

[0028] Furthermore, the feeding assembly 2 includes a disc 21, which is horizontally arranged inside the cabinet 1 and connected to the drive motor 25 via a rotating shaft. Multiple workstations 22 are evenly distributed on the disc 21; in this embodiment, six workstations are preferred. Each workstation 22 is equipped with a fixed plate 23, which is detachable for replacement according to different products. The fixed plate 23 has multiple positioning holes or limiting grooves for placing circuit boards and wire plugs. At least two fixed brackets 24 are provided on both sides of the fixed plate 23 for clamping or supporting the connecting wires and extension parts of the wire plugs, ensuring the circuit boards, plugs, and connecting wires are stably positioned and preventing displacement during disc rotation or soldering. Multiple supporting rollers 26 are provided at the bottom of the disc 21, evenly distributed below the outer edge of the disc, to support the disc 21 and ensure smooth rotation of the disc under motor drive.

[0029] Furthermore, the soldering assembly 3 is fixedly installed inside the cabinet 1, located at a processing station above the disc 21. The soldering assembly includes a temperature controller 31, a solder spool 32, a solder wire controller 33, a soldering iron 34, and a solder outlet 35. The solder spool 32 stores the solder wire, and the solder wire controller 33 controls the length and speed of the solder wire feed. The solder wire is fed to the soldering point through the solder outlet 35. The temperature of the soldering iron 34 is controlled by the temperature controller 31 to maintain it at a suitable soldering temperature. The soldering iron 34 is fixedly connected to the solder outlet 35 and connected to the support structure via a slider and a slide rail. The slider can move vertically, driven by a cylinder to move up or down. When a product at a certain station rotates to the soldering position with the disc 21, the soldering iron 34 moves downward under the drive of the cylinder, and the solder wire controller 33 simultaneously feeds out the solder wire. The solder wire is melted by the heating effect of the soldering iron 34, forming a solder joint and firmly soldering the circuit board and the wire plug. After soldering is completed, soldering iron 34 moves up and resets, and disk 21 continues to rotate to the next station.

[0030] In this invention, there can be more than one set of soldering components 3. Multiple sets of soldering components can be set according to production needs, with each set corresponding to one or more workstations. When the disc 21 rotates, products from multiple workstations can simultaneously reach the corresponding soldering component positions, achieving synchronous soldering processing, thereby further improving production efficiency and meeting the needs of mass production. The temperature controller, soldering iron, and solder outlet of each set of soldering components can be controlled independently or centrally managed through a unified control device to ensure the soldering quality and precision of each solder joint.

[0031] Furthermore, the unloading assembly 4 is located downstream of the disc 21 and includes a clamping part 41, which is movable in both vertical and horizontal directions. The clamping part 41 is equipped with at least three downward-extending grippers 42, each consisting of a cylinder and a jaw. The jaws open and close under the drive of the cylinder to grip the product. When the soldered product rotates to the unloading position, the clamping part 41 descends under the action of the drive mechanism, and the grippers 42 simultaneously clamp the wiring portion of the product. Subsequently, the clamping part 41 moves upward under the drive of the vertical cylinder, removing the product from the workstation; then, driven by the cylinder and multi-axis slide rail structure, it moves horizontally, transferring the product to the unloading area 45. The jaws release, and the product falls into the unloading area 45. After unloading is completed, the clamping part 41 returns to its initial position, and the disc 21 continues to rotate to the next workstation, realizing a cyclical operation.

[0032] Furthermore, the specific workflow is as follows: The operator places the circuit board and wire plug onto the fixed plate 23, and the extension part of the connecting wire is fixed by the fixed bracket 24. The disc 21 rotates station by station driven by the motor 25. When the product reaches the soldering station, the soldering component 3 automatically completes the soldering operation. After soldering is completed, the product continues to rotate to the unloading station, where it is clamped by the unloading component 4 and transferred to the unloading area 45. Finally, the operator removes the finished product through the unloading opening 15. The entire process is repeated cyclically, realizing semi-automated soldering operation.

[0033] Furthermore, the semi-automatic soldering machine of this utility model has the following advantages: the division of labor for feeding, soldering, and unloading is clear, and operators only need to be responsible for feeding and taking out finished products, resulting in low labor intensity; the fixed plate 23 is replaceable, with strong adaptability, and can meet the soldering needs of circuit boards and plugs of different specifications; the disc 21, in conjunction with the supporting roller 26, ensures smooth rotation and precise positioning; the soldering component 3 uses a temperature controller 31 to control the temperature, ensuring stable solder joint quality; the unloading component 4 is driven by a vertical cylinder and a horizontal multi-axis slide rail, ensuring reliable operation and high efficiency; the whole machine has a compact structure, occupies little space, and is convenient for factory assembly line layout.

[0034] The above description of the disclosed embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
