[0024] Firstly, see Figure 1-8 This utility model discloses a shooting device 100 for a plug-in machine, used to capture parameters of materials, including pin dimensions, pin spacing, and pin positions. The materials include electronic components such as resistors and capacitors. The shooting device includes a base 31, a material gripping mechanism 11, a feeding mechanism 28, a camera group 29, and a processing mechanism 30. The feeding mechanism 28, the camera group 29, and the processing mechanism 30 are arranged sequentially. The material gripping mechanism 11 is positioned above the feeding mechanism 28, the camera group 29, and the processing mechanism 30. The material gripping mechanism 11 picks up materials from the feeding mechanism 28 and transfers them to the processing mechanism 30. During the transfer, the camera group 29 captures the parameters of the materials. The processing mechanism 30, the feeding mechanism 28, and the camera group 29 are mounted on the base 31.

[0025] The feeding mechanism 28 is used to provide materials, which can be a feeder or a vibrating feeder to feed the materials one by one. The processing mechanism 30 is used to feed the PCB. The material gripping mechanism 11 is used to grip the materials. The camera group 29 is used to take pictures of the materials. Based on the material pictures, image analysis is performed to obtain the parameters of the materials, such as the pin size, pin spacing size and pin position.

[0026] Specifically, the camera group 29 is set between the feeding mechanism 28 and the processing mechanism 30, so that after the material gripping mechanism 11 grips the material, it takes a picture of the material at the camera group 29 to obtain the material parameters, so as to facilitate the subsequent processing of the PCB board by the processing mechanism 30, reduce the moving distance of the material gripping mechanism 11, and improve the material processing speed.

[0027] Furthermore, the existing camera 291 is set at the bottom of the track of the processing mechanism. After the suction head picks up the material, it first takes a picture at the camera 291 before it goes to the processing mechanism for plug-in processing. In this application, the camera group 29 is set between the feeding mechanism 28 and the processing mechanism 30, which reduces the stroke of the material gripping mechanism 11 and improves production efficiency.

Specifically, the processing station 302 is located in the middle of the PCB transfer track 301, and a blocking structure is provided on the processing station 302. After the PCB board to be processed enters, it can stop at the processing station 302.

The first end and the second end of the mounting plate 131 are vertically arranged, with the height of the first end being higher than that of the second end. That is, the mounting plate 131 is vertically arranged, and the suction head gripping assembly 12 moves in the vertical direction. The lifting motor 14 is fixed on the mounting plate 131, and the lifting slide rail 15 is parallel to the suction head gripping assembly 12. Fixed wheels 19 are respectively located at the first end and the second end. The lifting motor 14 is connected to the fixed wheel 19 located at the first end, and the lifting motor 14 drives the fixed wheel 19 located at the first end to rotate. The two fixed wheels 19 are driven by a belt 18, which drives the belt 18 to move, thereby moving the mounting frame 17 installed on the belt 18 along the lifting slide rail 15.

The rotating wheel 21 adopts a bearing structure. The inner ring of the rotating wheel 21 is connected to the air inlet pipe 23, and the outer ring of the rotating wheel 21 is connected to the inner wall of the fixing hole 133. The rotating belt 22 connects the two rotating wheels 21 to the drive wheel 24 respectively. The rotating belt 22, the drive wheel 24, and the two rotating wheels 21 rotate in the same direction. Any one of the rotating wheels 21 is connected to one of the air inlet pipes 23. The rotary motor 20 is fixedly connected to the bracket 13. Specifically, the rotating wheel 21, the drive wheel 24, and the rotary motor 20 are fixed on the fixed plate 132. The rotary motor 20 drives the drive wheel 24 to rotate. The drive wheel 24 and the rotating wheel 21 are transmitted through the rotating belt 22. The inner ring of the rotating wheel 21 can drive the air inlet pipe 23 to rotate, thereby driving the suction head gripping assembly 12 to rotate, thereby adjusting the gripping angle of the suction head gripping assembly 12.

[0032] The suction head gripping assembly 12 includes a pickup head 121 and a replacement part 122. The replacement part 122 is connected to the air inlet pipe 23 and the pickup head 121 respectively.

The detection element 26 is fixed on the mounting plate 131 and is disposed in the direction of the belt 18 movement. The baffle 25 and the mounting frame 17 move synchronously. The detection element 26 can detect the movement of the baffle 25 and determine whether the baffle 25 has reached the position of the detection element 26, thereby obtaining the position of the mounting frame 17 and the suction head gripping assembly 12 disposed on the mounting frame 17.

[0035] The camera group 29 includes multiple cameras 291 and a camera frame 292. The cameras 291 are mounted on the camera frame 292, and the shooting direction of the cameras 291 is perpendicular to the horizontal plane. Specifically, the camera frame 292 is fixed on the base 31, and the cameras 291 are installed inside the camera frame 292. The number of cameras 291 is the same as the number of suction head gripping components 12 of the material gripping mechanism 11. One camera 291 is used to capture the material gripped by the suction head gripping component 12. The camera 291 is equipped with an image recognition module to recognize the material images captured by the camera 291 and obtain the parameter information of the material.

[0036] Optionally, a light-transmitting sheet is provided on the camera mount 292, and the light-transmitting sheet is positioned in the shooting direction of the camera 291.

[0037] The material gripping mechanism 11 includes a positioning camera 27, which is fixedly connected to the bracket 13. The positioning camera 27 is used to photograph the hole positions of the PCB board to be processed and the location of the PCB board to be processed. When the material gripping mechanism 11 approaches the processing mechanism 30, the positioning camera 27 takes a picture to determine the distance between the PCB board and the material gripping mechanism 11, and the distance of the PCB board.

[0038] Secondly, this utility model discloses a component insertion machine, which includes the aforementioned imaging device 100 for the component insertion machine.

In the imaging device, the camera group 29 is located between the feeding mechanism 28 and the processing mechanism 30, so that after the material picking mechanism 11 picks up the material, it takes a picture of the material at the camera group 29, thereby obtaining the parameters of the material. This reduces the stroke of the material picking mechanism 11 when the component insertion machine is processing PCBs, and speeds up the PCB processing speed of the component insertion machine.
