Abstract

FIELD: radio electronic engineering.

SUBSTANCE: method and device can be used for building completely new small-sized surface mounting automatic machines. Articles form line sequences are placed inside receiving area for transporting them onto common carrier by surface damped with liquid, water for example, of transfer element sequent combination, which is made for rotation about common axis. Any transfer element is made for reciprocal motion for receiving articles and mounting or fixing them in corresponding positions onto common carrier. Vertical reciprocal shift of the whole combination of transfer elements is carried out by means of guides accompanied with simultaneous correction of angle of turn of transfer element combination after its any discrete shift.

Description

The invention relates to the field of electronic technology, and in particular to a method and device for orienting products of various shapes, for example, electronic components, during their transportation, and can be used in small-sized surface mount machines.

A known method of orienting products of various shapes during their transportation (see application No. 2001121959 of 08/07/2001), according to which lowercase sequences of products are formed in the rotation plane with subsequent transfer to a common carrier by a transfer element, additional product transfer elements are introduced, forming a set of product transfer elements that are located either in radial directions or in offset radial directions, the rotation axis of the set of product transfer elements being located for it is coplanar to the axis of rotation of one or two planes of formation of a horizontal sequence of products, or coaxially over which or with which the set of transfer elements of products is located, while the common carrier is positioned with continuous or discrete displacement under the formed set of transfer elements of products and carry out transfer and fixation on it lowercase product sequences with corresponding product transfer elements. In this case, the element of transferring the horizontal sequence of products from the receiving side of the horizontal sequence is performed with a wettable surface (prototype).

The known prototype has technological capabilities, which include the ability to use the simplest element (wettable surface) to receive and subsequently transfer the product of a lowercase sequence to the surface of a common carrier, which allows it to be used in surface mounting technology, while the reliability of receiving a product of various shapes substantially depends on the identity the movement of each transfer element in its entirety.

The technological and technical result of the proposed invention is to increase the reliability of the known method, in particular, vertical reciprocating displacement for receiving and installing products at the same time of the entire set of transfer elements in its discrete positional positions of the guides of the set of transfer elements with simultaneous adjustment of its rotation angle after each discrete displacement of the set of elements transfer.

The specified technological and technical result is achieved by the following method and device.

A method of orienting articles of various shapes during their transportation, according to which lowercase articles are arranged for the last transfer to a common carrier with moistened liquid, for example water, with the surface of a series of transfer elements that can rotate around a common axis of rotation, each of the transfer elements perform with the possibility of reciprocating displacement for receiving products and installation or fixing them in the appropriate position ion positions on a common carrier, wherein the vertical reciprocating displacement of the totality of simultaneously transferring elements is performed by directing simultaneous adjustment of the angle of rotation collectively transfer elements after each discrete its displacement.

A device for orienting products of various shapes during transportation, comprising a line sequence forming unit and a line sequence receiving and transfer unit with a liquid wettable surface, made in the form of a set of transfer elements that is rotatable in the housing, a transfer element wetting unit, a common carrier, wherein the set of transfer elements is made of two coaxial parts interconnected by an elastic disk, and with guides for vertical a reciprocal displacement at the same time of the entire set of transfer elements, the guide of one of the coaxial parts is made in the form of a disk, and the guides of the other pine part are radially oriented, while in the upper part of the said housing, opposite the additional radially oriented guide, a correction groove is made with the possibility of free entry and the output of the specified radial guide, and with simultaneous adjustment of the angle of rotation of the set of transfer elements after each discrete wow its displacement.

Figure 1 and 2 shows a device that implements the proposed method.

The device comprises a node for forming the lower case sequences 1 and a node for receiving and transferring products of the lower order in the form of a set of transfer elements 2 with a wettable liquid surface 3 that can be rotated, which are located in a common housing 5, a node for wetting the transfer elements, a common carrier 6, while the receiving unit and product transfer is made of two coaxial parts 7 and 8 with guides and interconnected by an elastic disk 9, the guide of one of which 7 is made in the form of a disk and is located on the side of present case 5, in the same direction are arranged radially oriented guides 10 a second portion 8 of the node receiving and transferring products, wherein the upper portion 11 of the common casing 5 opposite radially oriented guide 12 is configured adjustment groove 13 to freely enter and exit the radial guide 12.

The operation of the device is as follows.

In the reception zone or the node for forming the lower case sequences 1, the products are 14 lower case sequences for receiving 15 on the transfer element and then transferring them 16 to a common carrier 6 with a moistened surface 3 by a sequential set of transfer elements 2, which can rotate around a common axis of rotation 17, when this, each of the transfer elements is performed with the possibility of reciprocating displacement by means of an electromagnet 18 for receiving 15 products 14 and installation 16 or fixing them accordingly positioning positions on a common carrier 6, while the vertical reciprocating displacement of the entire set of transfer elements 2 at the same time is carried out by means of the guides 12 and the groove 13 of the common housing with simultaneous adjustment of its rotation angle after each discrete displacement of the set of transfer elements.

The use of the invention improves the reliability of small-sized surface mount machines.
