Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of carrier cleaning equipment, specifically to a production line carrier return and coding plasma cleaning equipment. Background Technology

[0002] This utility model relates to carrier recirculation, coding and binding, and plasma cleaning equipment, which is mainly applied in the field of automated assembly lines for precision products such as electronic components and consumer electronics. In the current mass production process of precision products, carriers, as the turnover and positioning carriers of products, need to be recycled and reused in the production line. Simultaneously, products need to complete multiple processes such as information binding, dimensional detection, data recording, and surface pretreatment to meet the process requirements of subsequent assembly (such as dispensing and wire binding). However, the existing production model has the following prominent problems: The low efficiency of carrier return in traditional production lines relies heavily on manual transfer or simple conveyor lines, lacking automated rotation and precise docking mechanisms. This can easily lead to carrier accumulation and mismatch in the flow rhythm, resulting in production stagnation on the main line and limiting overall production efficiency.

[0003] Product quality and efficiency defects caused by dispersed processes: Product scanning and binding, height detection, data recording, surface cleaning, etc. are usually set up at different workstations. The products need to be transferred multiple times by manual or independent conveyor equipment. This not only increases production time, but also makes the product surface prone to bumps and foreign matter contamination. At the same time, information binding misalignment is prone to occur during cross-workstation transfer, affecting the accuracy of product traceability throughout the entire process.

[0004] Insufficient surface pretreatment and quality control: Precision products require surface roughening treatment before processes such as dispensing and wire binding to improve bonding reliability. However, existing plasma cleaning processes are mostly set up independently, and static electricity on the product surface is not targeted to be eliminated before cleaning. The micro-dust adsorbed by static electricity will reduce the plasma treatment effect. At the same time, the rejection of unqualified products mostly relies on manual visual inspection, which has the problems of high missed detection rate and slow response, and can easily lead to defective products flowing into the next process.

[0005] Poor process coordination: The execution mechanisms of each existing process are mostly independently controlled, lacking integrated control system linkage. The information binding between the carrier and the product and the process data collection cannot be synchronized in real time, making it difficult to meet the production requirements of modern production lines for "high efficiency, precision and traceability". Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a production line carrier return and coding plasma cleaning equipment to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as low carrier return efficiency. Traditional production line carrier return relies on manual transfer or simple conveyor lines, lacking automated rotation and precise docking mechanisms, which easily leads to carrier accumulation and mismatch of flow rhythm, resulting in the main line production stagnation and limited overall production efficiency.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a production line carrier reflow and coding plasma cleaning equipment, including a frame; A rotary conveyor assembly, mounted on the frame, is used for the rotary conveying of the vehicle; A transverse module, mounted on the frame, is used to drive the corresponding mechanism or carrier to move along the transverse direction; The transverse conveyor line connects the rotary conveyor assembly and the transverse module, and is used to output the carrier and products to the transverse conveyor to the transverse module. The material gripping mechanism is located at the input and output ends of the transverse conveyor line and is used to grip the carrier on the rotary conveyor assembly onto the transverse conveyor line and to grip the carrier off the transverse conveyor line. A barcode scanning and binding mechanism is set along the conveying direction of the transverse conveyor line to identify the QR codes of the carrier and products and bind the corresponding information. A height detection mechanism, located downstream of the barcode scanning and binding mechanism, is used to detect the height dimension of the product; The ID reading mechanism is located downstream of the height detection mechanism and is used to interface with the product and complete data recording. The Plasma cleaning unit, located downstream of the ID reading unit, is used to perform low-temperature plasma treatment on the product surface. An NG rejection mechanism, located downstream of the Plasma cleaning mechanism, is used to reject non-conforming products. An ion wind static elimination mechanism is located downstream of the NG rejection mechanism and is used to eliminate static electricity and clean the product.

[0008] This setup, through precise integration of the rotary conveyor components and the transverse conveyor line, coupled with bidirectional material gripping mechanisms at both the input and output ends of the transverse conveyor line, constructs an automated flow channel for carriers, enabling "rotary circulation - transverse conveying - directional output," completely replacing manual transfer or simple conveying modes. The bidirectional gripping mechanism ensures synchronization between the rotary conveyor components and the transverse conveyor line's carrier input, while also achieving precise carrier output from the transverse conveyor line to the transverse module. This avoids carrier accumulation and flow rhythm imbalance, ensuring that carrier return efficiency matches the main line's production rhythm in real time, significantly reducing the risk of production line downtime and increasing overall capacity. Along the transverse conveyor line, a complete process is sequentially integrated, including barcode scanning and binding, height detection, ID reading, Plasma cleaning, NG rejection, and ion air static elimination, achieving "one-stop" processing from information binding to surface pretreatment, eliminating the need for multiple transfers across workstations. On the one hand, it reduces the risk of surface bumps and foreign object contamination during product transportation, ensuring the integrity of product appearance and performance; on the other hand, the barcode binding mechanism completes the accurate binding of carrier and product information at the beginning of the circulation, and all subsequent process data are collected synchronously based on this binding relationship, completely avoiding cross-workstation information misalignment and providing reliable data support for product lifecycle traceability.

[0009] Preferably, the material gripping mechanism includes at least two, which are respectively arranged on both sides of the input end of the transverse conveyor line.

[0010] Preferably, the scanning and binding mechanism includes a QR code recognition component, which is communicatively connected to the control system to realize the binding and storage of information between the vehicle and the product.

[0011] Preferably, the height detection mechanism is a positioning detection component, including a displacement sensor, for detecting the height positioning dimensions of the product.

[0012] Preferably, the ID reading mechanism includes a drive cylinder and a pin assembly. The drive cylinder drives the pin assembly to insert into the corresponding interface of the product to complete the data burning operation.

[0013] Preferably, the Plasma cleaning mechanism includes a low-temperature plasma nozzle, which is positioned toward the product surface to roughen the product surface.

[0014] Preferably, the system also includes an NG tray, which is connected to the output of the NG rejection mechanism and is used to collect non-conforming products rejected by the NG rejection mechanism.

[0015] Preferably, the ion wind static elimination mechanism includes an ion wind generating unit and an air blowing component, wherein the air blowing component guides the ion wind to the product surface to achieve static electricity elimination and surface cleaning.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: In this production line's carrier return and coding plasma cleaning equipment, the precise connection between the rotary conveyor assembly and the transverse conveyor line, along with the bidirectional material gripping mechanism at both the input and output ends of the transverse conveyor line, constructs an automated flow channel for the carriers: "rotary circulation - transverse conveying - directional output," completely replacing manual transfer or simple conveying modes. The bidirectional gripping mechanism ensures both the synchronization of carrier input between the rotary conveyor assembly and the transverse conveyor line, and the precise output of carriers from the transverse conveyor line to the transverse module. This avoids carrier accumulation and flow rhythm imbalance, ensuring that the carrier return efficiency matches the main line production rhythm in real time, significantly reducing the risk of production line downtime and increasing overall capacity.

[0017] The transverse conveyor line integrates a full range of processes, including barcode scanning and binding, height detection, ID reading, plasma cleaning, NG rejection, and ion air static elimination. This enables "one-stop" processing of products from information binding to surface pretreatment, eliminating the need for multiple transfers across workstations. On one hand, this reduces the risk of surface bumps and foreign object contamination during product transfer, ensuring the integrity of the product's appearance and performance. On the other hand, the barcode binding mechanism accurately binds the carrier and product information at the initial stage of transfer, and all subsequent process data are collected synchronously based on this binding relationship, completely avoiding information misalignment across workstations and providing reliable data support for product lifecycle traceability.

[0018] Through the synergistic effect of the Plasma cleaning mechanism and the ion wind static elimination mechanism, a pre-treatment chain of "static elimination - surface roughening - cleaning completion" is formed: the ion wind static elimination mechanism can effectively eliminate the micro-dust adsorbed by static electricity on the product surface, clearing the way for subsequent Plasma cleaning, making the roughening treatment of the product surface by low-temperature plasma more uniform and thorough, and significantly improving the bonding reliability of subsequent processes such as dispensing and wire binding; at the same time, the NG rejection mechanism is set downstream of the Plasma cleaning, and can automatically reject products that are not up to size, have failed data burning, or have substandard surface treatment based on the detection results of previous processes such as height detection and ID reading, replacing manual visual inspection, greatly reducing the missed detection rate, preventing defective products from flowing into the next process, and ensuring the consistency of outgoing products.

[0020] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0021] This utility model provides a production line carrier reflow and coding plasma cleaning equipment, such as... Figures 1-3 As shown, the system includes a frame 1; a rotary conveyor assembly 2, mounted on the frame 1, for rotary conveying of the carrier; a transverse transfer module 11, mounted on the frame 1, for driving the corresponding mechanism or carrier to move along the transverse direction; a transverse transfer conveyor line 3, connecting the rotary conveyor assembly 2 and the transverse transfer module 11, for outputting the carrier and product to the transverse transfer module 11; an incoming material gripping mechanism 4, located at the input and output ends of the transverse transfer conveyor line 3, for gripping the carrier on the rotary conveyor assembly 2 onto the transverse transfer conveyor line 3 and for gripping the carrier off the transverse transfer conveyor line 3; and a barcode scanning and binding mechanism 5, located along the conveying direction of the transverse transfer conveyor line 3, for identifying... The system includes: a QR code for the carrier and product, bound to corresponding information; a height detection mechanism 6, located downstream of the scanning and binding mechanism 5, for detecting the height of the product; an ID reading mechanism 7, located downstream of the height detection mechanism 6, for docking with the product and completing data recording; a plasma cleaning mechanism 8, located downstream of the ID reading mechanism 7, for performing low-temperature plasma treatment on the product surface; an NG rejection mechanism 9, located downstream of the plasma cleaning mechanism 8, for rejecting unqualified products; and an ion wind static elimination mechanism 10, located downstream of the NG rejection mechanism 9, for eliminating static electricity and cleaning the product.

[0022] By integrating rotary conveyor components, lateral movement modules, lateral movement conveyor lines, and all functional mechanisms into a single integrated structure, the system avoids the problems of large space occupation and high coordination difficulty caused by the scattered layout of various mechanisms, thus improving the compactness of the equipment layout and site adaptability. The connection design between the rotary conveyor components and the lateral movement conveyor line, together with the lateral movement drive function of the lateral movement module, constructs a fully automated flow link of "rotational return - lateral movement conveying - directional output" for the carriers, completely replacing manual handling and achieving precise matching between carrier flow and the main production cycle, significantly reducing the risk of production line stagnation caused by carrier accumulation and flow delays. A barcode binding system is sequentially arranged along the lateral movement conveyor line. The system includes height detection, ID reading, Plasma cleaning, NG rejection, and ion wind static elimination mechanisms, enabling "one-stop" continuous processing of products from information binding to surface pretreatment. This eliminates the need for multiple transfers across workstations, reducing the risk of bumps and foreign object contamination during product transfer, ensuring the integrity of product appearance and performance, shortening the production cycle, and improving processing efficiency. The material gripping mechanism is bidirectionally arranged at the input and output ends of the transverse conveyor line, enabling precise input of the rotary conveyor components to the carriers of the transverse conveyor line, and directional output of the transverse conveyor line to the carriers of the transverse module, forming a closed-loop connection for carrier flow and ensuring the synchronization and stability of each conveying link.

[0023] In this embodiment, at least two material gripping mechanisms 4 are provided, correspondingly located on both sides of the input end of the transverse conveyor line 3. The barcode scanning and binding mechanism 5 includes a QR code recognition component, which is communicatively connected to the control system to achieve information binding and storage between the carrier and the product. The height detection mechanism 6 is a positioning detection component, including a displacement sensor, used to detect the height positioning dimension of the product. The ID reading mechanism 7 includes a drive cylinder and a pin assembly; the drive cylinder drives the pin assembly to insert into the corresponding interface of the product to complete the data burning operation. The Plasma cleaning mechanism 8 includes a low-temperature plasma nozzle, which is positioned towards the product surface to roughen the product surface.

[0024] At least two material gripping mechanisms are installed and correspondingly arranged on both sides of the input end of the transverse conveyor line. These mechanisms can simultaneously grip and transfer multiple carriers on the rotary conveyor assembly, improving the efficiency of carrier input into the transverse conveyor line and meeting the cycle time requirements of mass production. The dual-sided arrangement ensures balanced gripping force, preventing carrier shifting or falling. The QR code recognition component of the barcode binding mechanism communicates with the control system, enabling real-time binding and storage of carrier and product information. This ensures that each product's information uniquely corresponds to its carrier, providing accurate data support for product lifecycle traceability and avoiding information binding misalignment issues caused by cross-workstation transfers. The height detection mechanism uses a positioning detection component with a displacement sensor, accurately acquiring the product's height positioning dimensions. The detection accuracy is higher than traditional visual or simple detection methods, providing a basis for subsequent... Precise operations in the process (such as ID reading and Plasma cleaning) provide a positional reference and a quantitative basis for product quality judgment. The ID reading mechanism drives the pin assembly to insert into the product interface through a drive cylinder, realizing automated and mechanized data burning. Compared with manual burning, it improves burning efficiency and consistency, and avoids problems such as interface damage and burning failure caused by manual operation, ensuring the reliability of product functions. The low-temperature plasma nozzle of the Plasma cleaning mechanism is set towards the product surface, which can directly spray low-temperature plasma onto the target surface of the product, ensuring the targeting and uniformity of roughening treatment, effectively removing oil and oxide layers from the product surface and improving surface activity. This provides a high-quality bonding substrate for subsequent processes such as dispensing and wire binding, significantly improving bonding strength and stability.

[0025] It also includes an NG tray 12, which is connected to the output end of the NG rejection mechanism 9 and is used to collect defective products rejected by the NG rejection mechanism 9. The ion wind static elimination mechanism 10 includes an ion wind generating unit and an air blowing assembly. The air blowing assembly guides the ion wind to the product surface to achieve static electricity elimination and surface cleaning.

[0026] The NG rejection mechanism adopts a structure of "cylinder-driven pusher plate + NG diversion channel". After receiving the NG signal from the upstream inspection station, the control system can quickly trigger the cylinder to act, and automatically separate the defective carrier from the qualified product through the pusher plate. The rejection response is rapid (without manual intervention), preventing defective products from flowing into the next process and ensuring the consistency of product quality. At the same time, the cylinder-driven structure is simple, reliable, and has low maintenance costs. The design of automatic retraction of the cylinder piston rod and reset of the pusher plate after rejection ensures that the NG rejection mechanism does not affect the normal transportation of subsequent carriers, ensuring the continuity of the production line and avoiding the interruption of cycle time caused by rejection action. The NG tray connects to the output of the NG rejection mechanism, enabling centralized collection of non-conforming products. This facilitates subsequent unified sorting, rework, or scrapping, avoiding management chaos caused by scattered non-conforming products and improving the cleanliness of the production site. The ion wind static elimination mechanism generates ion wind through the ion wind generator unit, which is then guided to the product surface by the blowing component. On the one hand, it can efficiently eliminate static electricity on the product surface, preventing static electricity from attracting dust and affecting the quality of subsequent processes. On the other hand, it can simultaneously clean the tiny impurities remaining on the surface, achieving a dual effect of "static elimination + cleaning," further improving the cleanliness of the product surface and laying a good foundation for subsequent assembly processes.

[0027] When the production line carrier return and coding plasma cleaning equipment of this utility model is in use, the carrier loaded with the product to be processed first achieves automated return via the rotary conveyor assembly 2. When the carrier flows to the corresponding workstation at the input end of the transverse conveyor line 3, at least two material gripping mechanisms 4 arranged on both sides of the input end of the transverse conveyor line act synchronously to accurately grip the carrier on the rotary conveyor assembly 2 and smoothly transfer it to the transverse conveyor line 3, completing the precise connection of the carrier from the return link to the processing link. The carrier is conveyed at a uniform speed along the transverse conveyor line 3 in the set direction.

[0028] The carrier carrying the product first arrives at the working area of ​​the barcode binding mechanism 5. The QR code recognition component quickly identifies the QR codes on the carrier and the product. Through real-time communication with the control system, the unique identifier of the carrier is bound to the product information and stored, establishing a traceability file for the entire product lifecycle. The carrier then moves to the height detection mechanism 6, where the displacement sensor accurately detects the height positioning dimensions of the product and feeds the detection data back to the control system. This provides a positional reference for subsequent processes and serves as a quantitative basis for product quality judgment. After the detection is completed, the carrier continues to be transported to the ID reading mechanism 7, where the drive cylinder moves and pushes the pin assembly to insert into the corresponding interface of the product, automatically completing the data burning operation of the product. The burning result is synchronized to the control system in real time.

[0029] After data burning, the carrier is transferred to station 8 of the Plasma cleaning mechanism. The low-temperature plasma nozzle sprays low-temperature plasma towards the target surface of the product, uniformly roughening the surface, effectively removing surface oil and oxide layers, and improving surface activity, preparing for subsequent processes such as dispensing and wire binding. After Plasma cleaning, the carrier enters station 9 of the NG rejection mechanism. If the previous height detection, ID reading, or other stations report that the product is unqualified (i.e., the control system receives an NG signal), the cylinder of the NG rejection mechanism is immediately triggered. The piston rod extends and pushes the push plate, pushing the carrier carrying the unqualified product from the transverse conveyor line 3 to the NG diversion channel. Finally, the unqualified product falls into the connected NG tray 12 for centralized collection. After the rejection action is completed, the cylinder piston rod automatically retracts and the push plate resets, without affecting the normal conveying of subsequent carriers. Qualified products continue to flow along the main conveyor line with the carrier.

[0030] Qualified product carriers that pass quality screening arrive at station 10 of the ion wind static elimination mechanism. The ion wind generating unit generates ion wind, which is guided to the product surface by the blowing component. On the one hand, it efficiently eliminates static electricity on the product surface, preventing static electricity from attracting micro-dust and affecting the quality of subsequent processes. On the other hand, it simultaneously cleans up the tiny impurities remaining on the surface, achieving the dual effect of "static elimination + cleaning". After the surface treatment is completed, the carrier flows to the output end of the transverse conveyor line 3. The material gripping mechanism 4 in this area is activated to clamp the carrier from the transverse conveyor line 3 and accurately transfer it to the transverse module 11. The transverse module 11 drives the carrier to move along the transverse direction, realizing the directional output of the product (connecting to the downstream assembly process). The empty carrier can re-enter the return link through the rotary conveyor component 2, waiting for the next round of product loading and recycling, forming a closed loop of automated carrier return.

[0031] Finally, it should be noted that the electronic components in the NG rejection mechanism 9 and other components in this embodiment are all general standard parts or parts known to those skilled in the art. Their structure and principle can be known to those skilled in the art through technical manuals or conventional experimental methods. In the idle part of this device, all the above-mentioned electrical components are connected by wires.

Those skilled in the art should understand that this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. The embodiments and descriptions in the specification are merely preferred examples and are not intended to limit the utility model.
