Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of printing inkjet technology, specifically to a multifunctional flip-plate mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] In modern industrial production, inkjet printing technology is widely used in the manufacturing process of printed circuit boards (PCBs) due to its high efficiency and precision. In this process, the flipping machine plays a crucial role, responsible for flipping a PCB board that has already been processed on one side by 180 degrees for processing the second side. However, traditional flipping machines use a clamping mechanism to hold the board or a suction cup to adhere the board surface before performing the flipping action. While this solution is relatively simple in structure, its drawbacks are also obvious. It cannot meet production needs when producing high-requirement PCB boards or when contact between the board surfaces is not allowed during production.

[0003] Existing methods involve clamping the PCB board from the side, relying on the PCB board's own rigidity to achieve clamping, and then flipping the board. This solution avoids damage and contamination to the board surface caused by mechanical clamping. However, this solution has certain limitations; it cannot achieve normal flipping for thin boards or PCB boards with poor rigidity.

[0004] The existing technologies in this field have the following main problems: First, traditional flipping machines can only flip a certain type of PCB board. In order to adapt to different board surfaces, multiple flipping machines and solutions are required, which is not convenient for arbitrary switching between structures, not convenient for equipment uniformity, and easily increases the types and costs of equipment, and makes equipment maintenance difficult. Traditional mechanisms have high requirements for equipment positioning and debugging, which affects the flexibility and adaptability of the equipment. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a multifunctional flipping mechanism to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, which are that traditional flipping machines can only flip a certain type of PCB board. In order to adapt to different board surfaces, multiple flipping machines and solutions are required, which is not convenient for arbitrary switching between structures, does not facilitate the uniformity of equipment, easily increases the types of equipment and equipment costs, and brings difficulties to equipment maintenance. Traditional mechanisms also have high requirements for equipment positioning and debugging, which affects the flexibility and adaptability of the equipment. The objective of this utility model can be achieved through the following technical solutions: A multifunctional flip-board mechanism includes a base frame module, on which a flip-board platform is mounted. A left flip-board module is mounted on one side of the base frame module, and a right flip-board module is mounted on the side of the base frame module away from the left flip-board module. A flipping mechanism is provided between the right flip-board module and the left flip-board module to adapt to flipping various board surfaces. The flipping mechanism includes a lifting module installed on the left flipping module and the right flipping module. A rotating module is installed on one side of the lifting module. Multiple clamping plate assemblies are installed at the output end of the rotating module. The clamping plate assemblies correspond to the flipping platform. The left flipping module and the right flipping module are symmetrical and mirrored.

[0006] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the flipping mechanism also includes a plate size adjustment mechanism fixed to the output end of the rotating module, and the second clamping plate assembly is disposed on the plate size adjustment mechanism, wherein a plate detection component is fixed on one of the second clamping plate assemblies.

[0007] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the base frame module is provided with a plate picking and placing module, the plate picking and placing module includes a four-axis robot arranged on both sides of the base frame module, a pipeline module is fixed on the four-axis robot, a solenoid valve assembly is fixed on the four-axis robot, the solenoid valve assembly is located on one side of the pipeline module, a clamping plate assembly is provided at the end of the fourth axis of the four-axis robot, and a plate detection assembly is fixed on the clamping plate assembly.

[0008] As a further embodiment of this utility model: the flip-board platform includes multiple platform supports, a flip-board support plate is fixed at the upper end of the platform support, and a board detection bracket is fixed at the lower end of the flip-board support plate.

[0009] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a sensor is fixed on the plate detection bracket, and an opening corresponding to the sensor is provided on the flip plate support plate for sensor detection.

[0010] As a further embodiment of this utility model: a welding frame is fixed to the lower end of the base module, an electrical cabinet is fixed inside the welding frame, and a robot mounting bracket is fixed on the welding frame.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: 1. This utility model adjusts the spacing of the clamping plate assembly two by operating the plate size adjustment mechanism. The motor on the plate size adjustment mechanism can quickly adapt to PCBs of different widths, realizing the switching of different plate widths. Then, the clamping plate assembly two restricts the invalid edge plate of the PCB. Then, the lifting module is operated to raise and lower the plate size adjustment mechanism, clamping plate assembly two, and PCB to a specified height, reducing the space occupied. Then, the rotation module is operated to rotate clamping plate assembly two 180 degrees in the forward direction. When the lifting module raises and lowers and the rotation module drives clamping plate assembly two to rotate, the plate detection component monitors the clamped PCB. It is used to adapt to different types and widths of board surfaces, improve the flexibility and versatility of the equipment, facilitate the maintenance and debugging of the equipment, and reduce the occurrence of board drop and flexible board sagging.

[0012] 2. This utility model utilizes a four-axis robot to align the clamping assembly with the PCB, clamping the PCB and moving it to the center of the flipping platform. Sensors detect the placement position, facilitating accurate PCB placement and rapid gripping and handling by the clamping assembly. A board detection sensor on the clamping assembly detects if the PCB falls during the robot's movement, immediately stopping the robot and issuing an alarm signal. This reduces manual loading and unloading, facilitates precise PCB placement, and allows for easy monitoring of the PCB's status. Attached Figure Description

[0016] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0017] Please see Figure 1 - Figure 3As shown, this utility model is a multi-functional flipping mechanism, including a base frame module 4, a flipping platform 5 installed on the base frame module 4, a left flipping module 2 installed on one side of the base frame module 4, a right flipping module 3 installed on the side of the base frame module 4 away from the left flipping module 2, and a flipping mechanism provided between the right flipping module 3 and the left flipping module 2 for adapting to flipping of various board surfaces; The flipping mechanism includes a lifting module 021 mounted on the left flipping module 2 and the right flipping module 3. A rotating module 022 is mounted on one side of the lifting module 021. Multiple clamping plate assemblies 023 are mounted on the output end of the rotating module 022. The clamping plate assemblies 023 correspond to the flipping platform 5. The left flipping module 2 and the right flipping module 3 are symmetrically and mirror-image arranged. The flipping mechanism also includes a plate size adjustment mechanism 025 fixed to the output end of the rotating module 022. The clamping plate assemblies 023 are mounted on the plate size adjustment mechanism 025, and a plate detection assembly 024 is fixed on one of the clamping plate assemblies 023.

[0018] Specifically, the base module 4 supports the flip platform 5, and the PCB board to be printed with inkjet is placed on the flip platform 5. The flip mechanism is used to adapt to different types of board surfaces, improve the flexibility and versatility of the equipment, and facilitate the maintenance and debugging of the equipment.

[0019] Specifically, when the PCB board is placed on the flip platform 5, the board size adjustment mechanism is activated to adjust the spacing of the clamping plate assembly 2023. The motor on the board size adjustment mechanism quickly adapts to PCB boards of different widths, enabling switching between different board widths. Then, the clamping plate assembly 2023 restricts the unused edges of the PCB board, completely preventing contact with the already processed board surface, thus preventing secondary contamination or scratches at the source and adapting to high-requirement PCBs. The production process begins with the operation of the lifting module 021, which raises the board size adjustment mechanism, clamping assembly 2 023, and PCB board to a specified height. Then, the rotation module 022 rotates the clamping assembly 2 023 180 degrees forward. The lifting module 021 then lowers the PCB board to its lowest position. While the lifting module 021 is raising and lowering the PCB board and the rotation module 022 is rotating the clamping assembly 2 023, the board detection component 024 monitors the clamped PCB board. If the PCB board is detected to be falling off, the operation is stopped immediately. Through manual intervention, different board materials can be freely switched, improving the flexibility and functionality of the equipment. The equipment also has a small footprint and low cost, improving its economy and adaptability.

[0020] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 3 - Figure 5As shown, a plate-picking and placing module 1 is installed on the base frame module 4. The plate-picking and placing module 1 includes a four-axis robot 011 installed on both sides of the base frame module 4. A pipeline module 012 is fixed on the four-axis robot 011, and a solenoid valve assembly 013 is fixed on the four-axis robot 011. The solenoid valve assembly 013 is located on one side of the pipeline module 012. A clamping plate assembly 014 is installed at the end of the fourth axis of the four-axis robot 011, and a plate detection assembly 024 is fixed on the clamping plate assembly 014. The flipping platform 5 includes multiple platform supports 051. A flipping support plate 052 is fixed at the upper end of the platform support 051, and a plate detection bracket 054 is fixed at the lower end of the flipping support plate 052. A sensor 053 is fixed on the plate detection bracket 054, and an opening corresponding to the sensor 053 is opened on the flipping support plate 052 for the detection of the sensor 053.

[0021] Specifically, the four-axis robot 011 on one side moves to the unloading position of the equipment. The robot operates, aligning the clamping assembly 014 with the PCB and clamping it. The robot then moves the PCB to a suitable position on the flipping platform 5, allowing the clamping assembly 014 to move to the center of the platform. The clamping assembly releases, facilitating the transport and placement of the PCB and inkjet printing. The robot then moves back to the unloading position. The airflow in the pipeline module 012 is controlled by the solenoid valve assembly 013, allowing for precise control of the four-axis robot 011 and the clamping assembly 014. The rapid gripping and handling of the PCB board is achieved through a platform support frame supporting the flip support plate 052. Simultaneously, a board detection sensor 053 installed on the clamping assembly 014 detects a PCB board falling during the movement of the four-axis robot 011, immediately stopping work, issuing an alarm signal, and requiring manual intervention. The sensor 053 detects the presence and centered placement of the PCB board on the flip support plate 052, facilitating accurate placement. Meanwhile, the four-axis robot 011 on the other side drives the clamping assembly 014, transporting the ink-jet-finished PCB board to the next process.

[0022] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 6 As shown, a welding frame 041 is fixed to the lower end of the base module 4, an electrical cabinet 042 is fixed inside the welding frame 041, and a robot mounting bracket 043 is fixed on the welding frame 041.

[0023] Specifically, the base frame module 4 is supported by the welding frame 041, and the electrical cabinet 042 sends out electrical commands to facilitate the operation of the controller equipment and the module. The robot mounting bracket 043 reduces the loosening and displacement of the four-axis robot 011 and extends its service life.

[0024] The working principle of this utility model is as follows: The base frame module 4 supports the flipping platform 5. The PCB board that needs to be printed with inkjet is placed on the flipping platform 5. The four-axis robot 011 moves to the initial position, the flipping mechanism enters the initial horizontal position, the board size adjustment mechanism 025 moves to the maximum position, the lifting module 021 moves to the lowest position, and the clamping plate assembly 1 014 and clamping plate assembly 2 023 are released. The four-axis robot 011 on one side moves to the unloading position of the equipment. Operating the four-axis robot 011 aligns the clamping assembly 014 with the PCB, clamping the PCB. The four-axis robot 011 moves the PCB to a suitable position on the flipping platform 5, moving the clamping assembly 014 to the center of the flipping platform 5. The clamping assembly is then released, facilitating the transport and placement of the PCB. Sensor 053 detects the PCB on the flipping support plate 052, checking for the presence and centered placement of the PCB to ensure accurate placement. When the PCB is placed on the flipping platform 5, the board size adjustment mechanism is activated to adjust the spacing of the clamping assembly 023. The motor on the board size adjustment mechanism quickly adapts to PCBs of different widths, enabling switching between different board widths. Then, the clamping assembly 023 restricts the unused edges of the PCB, completely preventing contact with the processed board surface, thus preventing secondary contamination or scratches and adapting to high-requirement PCBs. During board production, the lifting module 021 is activated, which raises and lowers the board size adjustment mechanism, clamping assembly 2 023, and PCB board to a specified height. Then, the rotation module 022 is activated, which rotates clamping assembly 2 023 180 degrees in the forward direction. The lifting module 021 then lowers the PCB board to the lowest position. While the lifting module 021 is raising and lowering and the rotation module 022 is rotating clamping assembly 2 023, the board detection component 024 monitors the clamped PCB board. If the PCB board is found to be falling off, the operation is stopped immediately and manual intervention is required. Then, the four-axis robot 011 moves to the PCB unloading position. The airflow of the pipeline module 012 is controlled by the solenoid valve assembly 013 to facilitate the control of the accuracy of the four-axis robot 011 and the rapid gripping and transportation by the clamping assembly 014. The flipping support plate 052 is supported by the platform support frame. At the same time, the board detection sensor 053 set on the clamping assembly 014 will stop working and issue an alarm signal if the PCB board is detected to fall during the movement of the four-axis robot 011, requiring manual intervention. The four-axis robot 011 on the other side drives the clamping assembly 014 to transport the ink-printed PCB board to the next process.
