DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The present invention is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. People familiar with the art can easily understand other advantages and effects of the present invention from the contents disclosed in this specification. The terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "middle" and the like cited in this specification are for the convenience of description and are not used to limit the scope of the present invention. The change or adjustment of the relative relationship shall also be regarded as the scope of the present invention without substantially changing the technical content.

[0029] Example:

[0030] like Figure 1 As shown, an automatic loading device for a test platform designed by the present invention includes a bottom plate 1 and a conveying plate 2. The bottom plate 1 is installed below the test platform, and the conveying plate 2 is arranged between the bottom plate 1 and the test platform. A conveying mechanism 4 is connected to the bottom plate 1. The conveying mechanism 4 includes a loading part 41, a conveying part 42 and a feeding part 43. The conveying part 42 is arranged below the conveying plate 2. A clearance opening 21 is provided on the conveying plate 2, and the conveying part 42 passes through the clearance opening 21. The loading part 41, the conveying part 42 and the feeding part 43 are all arranged in two numbers and are parallel to each other. The loading part 41, the conveying part 42 and the feeding part 43 are all conveyor belts rotating forward; the conveying plate 2 and the bottom plate 1 are connected through a lifting device 3.

[0031] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the lifting device 3 includes a driving cylinder 31, four climbing plates 32 and four guide wheels 33. Four sliding holes 11 are opened on the bottom plate 1 parallel to the conveying part 42 and corresponding to each climbing plate 32. The sliding holes 11 are arranged in two groups and are respectively arranged on both sides of the conveying part 42 away from each other. A connecting plate 321 is fixedly connected to the bottom wall of the climbing plate 32. The connecting plate 321 passes through the sliding hole 11 and is connected to the cylinder of the piston rod through a connecting rod 311. A slope 322 is formed at the top wall of the connecting plate 321 and the side wall perpendicular to the length direction; the guide wheel 33 is rotatably connected to the lower surface of the conveying plate 2, and the guide wheel 33 moves up and down along the slope 322. When the piston rod of the driving cylinder 31 is extended, the guide wheel 33 slides to the top of the climbing plate 32; a guide column 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom plate 1 in the vertical direction, and the guide column 12 passes through the conveying plate 2 and is slidably connected to the conveying plate 2.

[0032] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, two limit plates 13 are vertically fixed on the front and rear sides of the bottom plate 1, and two guide plates 14 are vertically fixed on the left and right sides of the bottom plate 1, respectively. The guide plates 14 and the limit plates 13 are fixed end to end. A guide rail 141 is fixedly connected to the guide plate 14 in the horizontal direction, and a slider is fixedly connected to each climbing plate 32 on the side away from the conveying plate 2. The slider and the guide rail 141 are mutually engaged and slidably connected. In the process of loading the server motherboard, the processed server motherboard is placed on the upper surface of the loading part 41. When it is completely transported to the conveying part 42, the conveying part 42 stops rotating, so that the piston rod of the driving cylinder 31 extends, driving the connecting rod 311 and the climbing plate 32 to move forward together. The guide rail 141 and the slider cooperate with the sliding hole 11 to limit the movement direction of the climbing plate 32. The guide wheel 33 is pushed by the slope 322 to move upward along the slope 322, and cooperates with the guide column 12 to push the conveying plate 2 to the same height as the test platform for testing. The arrangement of the four climbing plates 32 and the guide wheels 33 can effectively ensure the stability of the conveying plate 2 when it is raised.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, two guide blocks 22 are fixedly connected to the conveying plate 2. The guide blocks 22 are arranged on the side away from the two conveying parts 42, and the distance between the two guide blocks 22 is equal to the width of the server motherboard. A conveying wheel 221 is arranged on the side of the guide block 22 facing the conveying part 42, and the setting height of the conveying wheel 221 is higher than the upper surface of the conveying part 42. The setting of the guide block 22 can effectively limit the movement direction of the server motherboard, so that it keeps moving forward, and it is not easy to make errors during the test. A scanning gun 133 for detecting products is connected to the limit plate 13 above the feeding port 131, so as to monitor the processing status of the product.

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, two support plates 15 are vertically fixed on the bottom plate 1, and two groups of loading parts 41 and feeding parts 43 are respectively installed on the two support plates 15. The support plates 15 are provided with support grooves 151. When the conveying plate 2 is at the lowest point, the lower surface is in contact with the top wall of the support grooves 151. While the support plates 15 play a role in installation, they can provide effective support to the conveying plate 2 when it is not raised, thereby improving the stability of the entire structure. A support rod 132 is fixedly connected between the two limit plates 13 to prevent the limit plates 13 from tilting, which has a good reinforcement effect.

[0035] The implementation principle of the above embodiment is as follows: after the server motherboard is produced, it is sequentially transferred to the loading part 41 and the conveying part 42. When it is completely moved to the conveying part 42, the piston rod of the driving cylinder 31 is extended, and the connecting rod 311 drives the climbing plate 32 to move along the length direction of the sliding hole 11. The guide wheel 33 is pushed by the slope 322 of the climbing plate 32 to drive the conveying plate 2 to rise as a whole. When the guide wheel 33 moves to the top of the climbing plate 32, it drives the conveying plate 2 and the server motherboard to rise to the same height as the test platform for testing. The whole process does not require manual operation, has high production efficiency, and effectively saves a large amount of production space occupied by the robot arm. When the conveying plate 2 is raised, the loading part 41, the conveying part 42 and the feeding part 43 can still transfer the motherboard to other stations, which has high production efficiency.

[0036] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not a limitation of the present invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art may make non-creative modifications to the present embodiment as needed. However, as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention, they are protected by the patent law.
