Below by means of two embodiments of accompanying drawing detailed description, wherein according to positioner of the present invention:
Fig. 1 illustrates the end view of first embodiment on the supporting arm direction of motion according to positioner of the present invention,
Fig. 2 illustrates according to positioner of the present invention with the vertical view of first embodiment shown in Figure 1,
Fig. 3 illustrates the end view according to second embodiment of positioner of the present invention.
Shown in Fig. 1 and 2 according to first embodiment of positioner 1 of the present invention.Wherein relate to a positioner 1 that is used for the assembly head 2 of an automatic assembling machine 3, this assembly head assembles substrate 3 with electronic component.This automatic assembling machine 3 has a framework 5, constitutes a working face on its end face.Core at working face has a transportation section 6, and the substrate that will assemble is transported to a rigging position and transports after assembling again and leave this position thereon.Described working face covers substrate 4 by positioner 1 perpendicular to transporting direction.This positioner 1 comprises a supporting arm 7, and it is supporting at the framework 5 with respect to automatic assembling machine 3 on a direction of motion x who is parallel to substrate 4 transporting directions of the block bearing 9 by an activity on its opposed end movably by a rigid bearing 8 on the one end thereof.This supporting arm 7 also extends perpendicular to direction of motion x.Drive unit as positioner 1 uses a linear motor 10 that is positioned on movable block bearing 9 one sides.At the stator 12 of the rotor 11 of this this linear motor 10 and linear motor 10 to be positioned on the framework 5 of automatic assembling machine 3 with the small spacing of framework.Assembly head 2 is positioned on the supporting arm 7 in addition, and this assembly head can be by self a drive unit (not shown) at the extension axis direction y of supporting arm 7, promptly move on the direction vertical with the direction of motion x of supporting arm 7.
The block bearing 9 of the activity of described positioner 1 is made up of the bogie wheel 13 (not shown this embodiment) that at least one is positioned on the supporting arm 7, and it is along 14 supportings of a guiding face that constitutes on the framework 5 of automatic assembling machine 3.The rotating direction of this bogie wheel 13 is aimed at the direction of motion x of supporting arm 7.When only using a bogie wheel 13 as live bearing 9, this bogie wheel is preferably with the neutral state of supporting arm 7, promptly be arranged on the supporting arm 7 in the centre of direction of motion x.In order to prevent that supporting arm 7 from tumbling on direction of motion x, can on direction of motion x, be provided with air bearing or sliding bearing in this case in the front and back of single bogie wheel 13.
Have two bogie wheels 13 in the present embodiment.Said bogie wheel 13 ground before and after the direction of motion be provided with and its rotating direction along the direction of motion x of supporting arm 7.The air bearing or the sliding bearing of stabilization can have been abandoned in this case.The guiding face 14 of described block bearing 9 is designed to be parallel to the direction of motion of supporting arm 7 and favours a plane of launching by the direction of motion and the extension axis of supporting arm 7.The all-moving surface of described linear motor 10 favours by the direction of motion of supporting arm 7 in this embodiment equally and extends the plane that axis launches.The magnetic tractive effort F that between rotor 11 and stator 12, produces MWork, make supporting arm 7 by a directed force F perpendicular to the guiding face 14 of block bearing 9 LTraction.In other words, linear motor 10 is set, by magnetic tractive effort F MMake directed force F perpendicular to guiding face 14 directions of block bearing 9 LAct on supporting arm 7.This is generally changed in the scope of thousands of newton (kN) by the active force that permanent magnet produces.By this additional realizing transverse to direction of motion x, the i.e. supporting of the positioner 1 on supporting arm 7 extension axis directions in the supporting force on block bearing 9 guiding faces 14 that tilt.This stability of this positioner 1 just in time plays the effect that obviously reduces supporting arm 7 elastic bending and vibration on direction of motion x when linear motor 10 quickens fast or brakes suddenly.Thus can be during assembling process quicker and especially accurately regulate corresponding rigging position.Another advantage according to positioner 1 of the present invention is that the guiding face of the block bearing 9 of inclination allows supporting arm 7 in the thermal deformation of extending on the axis direction.Supporting arm 7 is for example expanded, because described bogie wheel 13 is moved up along the guiding face 14 of block bearing 9 when heating on its extension axis direction.Do not produce the crooked of hot material stress or bearing thus.Described in addition supporting arm 7 extends pretension on the axis direction by magnetic force at it, accepts the gap from opposed rigid bearing 8 thus.Further improve positioning accuracy thus.As represented by the end view of Fig. 1, described rigid bearing 8 is also to be designed to the being parallel to direction of motion with the similar mode of live bearing and to favour a plane of being launched by the direction of motion and the extension axis of supporting arm 7.This brings additional rigidity to this system.As what see by means of Fig. 2, described supporting arm 7 is widened at bearing portion.Improve rigidity thus, obviously reduce the tendency of reversing when braking and acceleration.
As above-mentioned embodiment is represented, the present invention is based on this principle, described positioner 1 has and is used to produce an active force that acts on the supporting arm 7 and (is magnetic force F in the present embodiment M) mechanism's (being linear motor 10 in the present embodiment), make an active force (in this case for directed force F thus L) on the direction of the guiding face 14 of the block bearing 9 of activity, act on the supporting arm 7 and make traction or roof pressure on the guiding face 14 of supporting arm at block bearing 9.This means also that in the case of the above embodiments the all-moving surface of described linear motor 10 also not necessarily must be in inclination, as long as but can make the magnetic force F that acts between stator 2 and the rotor 11 MAt least one component supporting arm 7 is drawn on the guiding face 14 of block bearing 9.Realize above-mentioned lateral-supporting effect thus.But be noted that in this case when the all-moving surface of block bearing 9 and guiding face 14 be arranged in parallel at this and just reach maximum supporting force.Parallel misalignment is big more, makes supporting arm 7 be drawn to magnetic force F on the guiding face 14 MComponent is just more little.
Although the drive unit of described in the above-described embodiments positioner 1 is a linear motor 10, its magnetic force F by working MBear simultaneously and be used to produce the bearing F that acts on the supporting arm 7 LThe function of mechanism, but also can expect other embodiments of the invention.Therefore the drive unit of described positioner 1 also can be realized by belt drive or spiro driving device, wherein must have separately in these cases to be used to produce the mechanism that acts on the supporting force on the supporting arm 7.For this mechanism for example can be a permanent magnet 15 (as shown in Figure 3) that correspondingly is positioned on the supporting arm 7, and it is to be in reciprocation with the fine pitch that is positioned at the ferromagnetic plate on the framework 5.Another is used to produce the method that acts on the active force on the supporting arm 7, also can settle the aspirator (reverse air bearing) of a permanent magnetism on supporting arm 7, it makes supporting arm 7 draw or roof pressure on guiding face 14 directions of block bearing 9 corresponding to operation principle of the present invention.Also to point out, replace rolling bearing also can constitute movable block bearing 9 by air bearing.No frictional property by air bearing makes positioner 1 obtain other advantage.
For the embodiment at the positioner shown in Fig. 1 and 21, described linear motor 10 is positioned on supporting arm 7 one sides, and movable block bearing 9 also is positioned on this supporting arm.The advantage of this version is to help making active force to be delivered to together on the supporting arm 7 on guiding face 14 directions of block bearing 9.But from can seeing at second embodiment shown in Fig. 3, described linear motor 10 or be used to produce the mechanism that acts on the active force on the supporting arm and also can be positioned at rigid bearing 8 one sides in principle.Described in this case linear motor 10 on the extension axis direction of supporting arm 7 between rigid bearing 8 and opposed expansion bearing bearing 9.Guarantee thus, by the magnetic force F of linear motor 10 existence MAct on the supporting arm 7, make obtaining one on the supporting arm 7 perpendicular to the additional shaft load F on guiding face 14 directions of block bearing 9 L, that is, described supporting arm is by an additional shaft load F LOn block bearing one side, load.For the lateral-supporting power of strengthening working thus, can on a side of block bearing 9, have additional permanent magnet 15 or corresponding permanent magnetic device.
