Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chip mounting technology, specifically to a feeding mechanism for an isolator. Background Technology
[0002] The current application of isolator patches usually involves applying adhesive to the inner wall of the corresponding slot in the tube housing, and then placing the isolator in the corresponding direction inside the slot of the tube housing to complete the bonding and curing. After the patch is applied, it is necessary to check again whether the relative positional relationship between the tube housing and the isolator is correct.
[0003] In existing technologies, the bonding of small isolators to the housing is generally done manually by applying adhesive, which undoubtedly reduces the efficiency of isolator placement. Furthermore, visually inspecting the positional relationship between the isolator and the housing after manual placement may result in significant angle deviations in some bonded areas, leading to poor consistency between the isolator and the housing and reducing reliability in subsequent use.
[0004] To address the issue of low efficiency in manual placement, some placement machines have emerged that can automatically place isolators. However, due to the small size of the isolators and the need to place them one by one into the housing for placement, the current method of manually placing each isolator into its corresponding position on the placement machine is still used for loading. This method also suffers from low efficiency and high labor intensity for workers. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the aforementioned shortcomings of existing technologies, this utility model provides a feeding mechanism for isolators that can not only place multiple isolators at once, but also transport the isolators one by one to the next workstation, thereby achieving automatic isolator feeding, improving the working efficiency of the chip mounter, and reducing the labor intensity of workers.
[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following solution: A feeding mechanism for an isolator is mounted on a frame. The feeding mechanism includes a feeding bin, a feeding assembly, and a separation assembly. The feeding bin holds the isolator. The feeding assembly includes a feeding push rod and a first vertical linear motion module. A fixing component of the first vertical linear motion module is connected to the frame, and a moving component of the first vertical linear motion module is connected to one end of the feeding push rod. One end of the feeding push rod abuts against the isolator in the feeding bin, so that the first vertical linear motion module drives the feeding push rod to move vertically. The feeding push rod pushes the isolator in the feeding bin to move vertically. The separation assembly includes a separation drive component and a separation push rod. The separation push rod corresponds to the feeding port of the feeding bin, which is the position where the isolator in the feeding bin is pushed out of the feeding bin by the feeding push rod. The separation push rod is connected to the power output end of the separation drive component, and the power output end of the separation drive component drives the separation push rod to move axially.
[0007] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When loading isolators, multiple isolators are stacked sequentially in the loading bin. Then, the loading component pushes the isolators out of the loading bin one by one. The separation component then transports the isolators pushed out of the loading bin to the next station. After the isolator is picked up, the loading component pushes the next isolator out of the loading bin, and the separation component then transports the isolator to the picking station. This realizes the simultaneous placement of multiple isolators and the ability to transport the isolators one by one to the next station, thereby achieving automatic loading of isolators, improving the working efficiency of the pick-and-place machine, and reducing the labor intensity of workers.
[0008] Simultaneously, as the feeding assembly sequentially pushes the isolators out of the feeding bin, the moving parts of the first vertical motion linear module drive the feeding push rod to move vertically upwards. As the feeding push rod moves upwards, it pushes the isolators in the feeding bin upwards as a whole until the uppermost isolator is pushed out of the feeding bin. At this point, the moving parts of the first vertical motion linear module stop driving the feeding push rod upwards, waiting for the separation assembly to transport the isolator to the next station. After the isolator is removed, the first vertical motion linear module drives the feeding push rod to continue moving upwards to push the next isolator out of the feeding bin.
[0009] In addition, when the separation assembly delivers the isolator to the material handling station, the separation drive unit drives the separation push rod to move closer to the isolator. After the separation push rod moves a certain distance, it will abut against the isolator at the feeding port of the feeding hopper. At this time, the separation drive unit continues to drive the separation push rod to move. Under the push of the separation push rod, the isolator at the feeding port will move towards the next station. When the isolator has completely reached the next station, the separation drive unit drives the separation push rod to move away from the next station to reset, waiting for the delivery of the next isolator.
[0010] Preferably, a contact sensor is also provided at the feeding port of the feeding hopper, and the isolator in the feeding hopper contacts the contact sensor when it is pushed to the feeding port of the feeding hopper.
[0011] In this way, by setting a contact sensor at the feeding port of the feeding hopper, when the feeding push rod pushes the uppermost isolator to the feeding port of the feeding hopper, the uppermost isolator will contact the contact sensor. At this time, the signal from the contact sensor determines that the isolator has been pushed into place. The moving parts of the first vertical motion linear module stop driving the feeding push rod to continue moving upward. At this time, the separation drive can also drive the separation push rod to transport the isolator to the picking station.
[0012] Preferably, a guide hole is provided on the feeding bin along the vertical direction, the upper end of the feeding push rod extends into the guide hole, and when the first vertical motion linear module drives the feeding push rod to move vertically, the feeding push rod moves along the guide hole.
[0013] In this way, by setting guide holes, the vertical movement of the feeding push rod is guided, so that the feeding push rod always pushes the isolator out of the feeding bin in sequence along the set route.
[0014] Preferably, the separation assembly further includes a second vertical motion linear module, the fixing component of the second vertical motion linear module is connected to the frame, and the moving component of the second vertical motion linear module is connected to the separation drive component, so as to drive the separation drive component to move vertically in a straight line through the second vertical motion linear module.
[0015] In this way, the second vertical motion linear module drives the separation drive component to move linearly in the vertical direction, so that the separation push rod can move to the position corresponding to the isolator at the feeding port of the feeding hopper under different conditions, so as to use the separation push rod to drive the isolator at the corresponding position to move to the next station.
[0016] Preferably, the moving parts of the first vertical linear motion module are connected to the feeding push rod via a connecting rod.
[0017] In this way, the moving parts of the first vertical linear motion module drive the feeding push rod to move in the vertical direction through the connecting rod.
[0018] Preferably, the separation drive component is a cylinder.
[0019] In this way, the cylinder acts as a separation drive component, driving the separation push rod to move, and the cylinder's working performance is stable and reliable. Attached Figure Description

[0025] As attached Figure 1 The diagram shows the structure of an isolator placement machine with the mechanism of this solution. The isolator placement machine includes a frame 2, on which a feeding mechanism 1 (as per this solution) is mounted. It also includes a housing conveying mechanism 4, a dispensing mechanism 5, and a placement mechanism 3. The feeding mechanism 1 sequentially conveys isolators to the picking station; the housing conveying mechanism 4 places housings and conveys them to the placement station; the dispensing mechanism 5 applies adhesive to the housings at the placement station; and the placement mechanism 3 picks up isolators from the picking station and places them into the housings at the placement station.
[0026] The structure of the feeding mechanism in this solution will be described in detail below: As attached Figure 2As shown, the isolator feeding mechanism of this solution is mounted on the frame 2. The feeding mechanism 1 includes a feeding bin 101, a feeding assembly, and a separating assembly. The feeding bin 101 is used to place isolators. Specifically, several isolators are magnetically connected and stacked vertically in the feeding bin 101. The feeding assembly is used to push the isolators out of the feeding bin 101 in sequence. The separating assembly is used to transport the isolators pushed out of the feeding bin 101 to the picking station. In this process, multiple isolators are stacked sequentially in the loading hopper 101. The loading assembly then pushes the isolators out of the hopper 101 one by one. The separation assembly transports the isolators pushed out of the loading hopper 101 to the picking station. After the placement mechanism picks up the isolator at the picking station, the loading assembly pushes the next isolator out of the loading hopper 101, and the separation assembly transports that isolator to the picking station again. This process achieves the goal of sequentially transporting the isolators in the loading hopper 101 to the picking station. The placement mechanism can then continuously pick up isolators from the picking station and place them at the placement station for mounting.
[0027] Specifically, the feeding assembly includes a feeding push rod 103 and a first vertical motion linear module 102. The fixing component of the first vertical motion linear module 102 is connected to the frame, and the moving component of the first vertical motion linear module 102 is connected to one end of the feeding push rod 103. One end of the feeding push rod 103 abuts against an isolator inside the feeding bin 101, so that the first vertical motion linear module 102 drives the feeding push rod 103 to move vertically, and the feeding push rod 103 pushes the isolator inside the feeding bin 101 to move vertically. Specifically, the first vertical motion linear module 102 can adopt not only a linear module structure with a linear motor and linear guide rail, but also a structure with a cylinder, slider, and guide rail. During installation, the fixing component of the first vertical motion linear module 102 is set vertically and connected to the frame. The moving component of the first vertical motion linear module 102 can move vertically along the fixing component of the first vertical motion linear module 102. At the same time, the moving component of the first vertical motion linear module 102 is connected to the feeding push rod 103 through an L-shaped connecting rod 107. The moving component of the first vertical motion linear module 102 drives the feeding push rod 103 to move vertically through the connecting rod 107. The feeding push rod 103 is a slender rod structure set vertically.
[0028] Specifically, a guide hole is provided vertically on the feeding bin 101. The upper end of the feeding push rod 103 extends into the guide hole, and when the first vertical motion linear module 102 drives the feeding push rod 103 to move vertically, the feeding push rod 103 moves along the guide hole. By providing the guide hole, the vertical movement of the feeding push rod 103 is guided, so that the feeding push rod 103 always pushes the isolators out of the feeding bin 101 sequentially along the set route.
[0029] When the feeding assembly sequentially pushes the isolators out of the feeding bin 101, the moving parts of the first vertical motion linear module 102 drive the feeding push rod 103 to move vertically upward. Simultaneously, the upward movement of the feeding push rod 103 pushes the isolators in the feeding bin 101 upward as a whole, until the uppermost isolator is pushed out of the feeding bin 101. At this point, the moving parts of the first vertical motion linear module 102 stop driving the feeding push rod 103 upward, waiting for the separation assembly to transport the isolator to the picking station. After the isolator is picked up and removed by the mounting mechanism at the picking station, the first vertical motion linear module 102 drives the feeding push rod 103 to continue moving upward to push the next isolator out of the feeding bin 101.
[0030] Specifically, the separation assembly includes a separation drive 104, a separation push rod 105, and a second vertical motion linear module 108. The separation push rod 105 corresponds to the loading port of the loading bin 101, which is the position where the isolator inside the loading bin 101 is pushed out of the loading bin 101 by the loading push rod 103. The separation push rod 105 is connected to the power output end of the separation drive 104, which is used to drive the separation push rod 105 to move axially. The fixing part of the second vertical motion linear module 108 is connected to the frame, and the moving part of the second vertical motion linear module 108 is connected to the separation drive 104, so that the separation drive 104 can be driven to move vertically in a straight line by the second vertical motion linear module 108. The second vertical motion linear module 108 drives the separation drive component 104 to move linearly in the vertical direction, enabling the separation push rod 105 to move to the position corresponding to the isolator at the feeding port of the feeding bin 101 under different conditions. This allows the separation push rod 105 to move the isolator at the corresponding position to the next workstation. Specifically, the second vertical motion linear module 108 can adopt not only a linear module structure with a linear motor and linear guide rail, but also a structure with a cylinder, slider, and guide rail.
[0031] Specifically, the separation drive component 104 is a cylinder, which drives the separation push rod 105 to move. The cylinder has stable and reliable working performance. The separation drive component 104 is mounted on the frame. The power output end of the separation drive component 104 can extend or retract in the axial direction. The power output end of the separation drive component 104 is used to drive the separation push rod 105 to move in the axial direction. When the separation push rod 105 moves axially, it can abut against the isolator at the feeding port of the feeding bin 101 and transport the isolator axially to the material picking station that is not affected by the magnetism of the remaining isolator.
[0032] When the isolator is conveyed to the picking station, the second vertical motion linear module 108 first drives the separation drive 104 and the separation push rod 105 to move vertically, so that the separation push rod 105 corresponds to the feeding port of the feeding bin 101. Then, the separation drive 104 drives the separation push rod 105 to move closer to the isolator. After the separation push rod 105 moves a certain distance, it will abut against the isolator at the feeding port of the feeding bin 101. At this time, the separation drive 104 continues to drive the separation push rod 105 to move. Under the push of the separation push rod 105, the isolator at the feeding port will move towards the picking station. When the isolator has completely reached the picking station, the separation drive 104 drives the separation push rod 105 to move away from the picking station to reset, waiting for the conveying of the next isolator.
[0033] Specifically, a contact sensor 106 is also provided at the feeding port of the feeding hopper 101. When the isolator in the feeding hopper 101 is pushed to the feeding port of the feeding hopper 101, it comes into contact with the contact sensor 106.
[0034] Thus, by setting a contact sensor 106 at the feeding port of the feeding bin 101, when the feeding push rod 103 pushes the uppermost isolator to the feeding port of the feeding bin 101, the uppermost isolator will contact the contact sensor 106. At this time, the signal from the contact sensor 106 is used to determine that the isolator has been pushed into place. The moving parts of the first vertical motion linear module 102 stop driving the feeding push rod 103 to continue moving upward. At this time, the separation drive 104 can also drive the separation push rod 105 to transport the isolator to the picking station.
[0035] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: When feeding the isolators, multiple isolators are stacked in sequence in the feeding bin 101. The isolators are connected by magnetic attraction. Then, the first vertical motion linear module 102 drives the separation push rod 105 to move vertically to the position that abuts the isolator. The second vertical motion linear module 108 drives the separation push rod 105 to move to the position corresponding to the feeding port of the feeding bin 101. Then, the first vertical motion linear module 102 drives the feeding push rod 103 to move vertically upward through the connecting piece, so that the feeding push rod 103 pushes the isolator to move upward as a whole. When the uppermost isolator is pushed to the feeding port position of the feeding bin 101, the uppermost isolator will contact the contact sensor 106. After the contact sensor 106 receives the signal that the isolator is in position, the first vertical motion linear module 102 stops driving the feeding push rod 103 to move downward. At this time, the separation drive 104 drives the separation push rod 105 to move towards the isolator and abut against the isolator. As the separation push rod 105 moves further, the separation push rod 105 pushes the isolator to move towards the picking station. When the isolator is completely transported to the picking station that is not affected by the magnetism of the remaining isolators, the separation drive 104 drives the separation push rod 105 to reset, waiting for the next transport of the isolator. When the isolator at the material handling station is picked up and the next isolator needs to be transported, the first vertical motion linear module 102 drives the feeding push rod 103 to move vertically upward again, pushing the next isolator to the feeding port. According to the signal of the contact sensor 106, the separation push rod 105 pushes the isolator to the material handling station and then resets. This process is repeated to automatically transport the isolators in the feeding bin 101 to the material handling station one by one, realizing the purpose of placing multiple isolators at one time and automatically transporting the isolators to the material handling station one by one.
[0036] 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 the technical solutions. Those skilled in the art should understand that any modifications or equivalent substitutions to the technical solutions of this utility model that do not depart from the spirit and scope of this technical solution should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
