Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an operating system of a printed circuit board carrier provided by an embodiment of the present invention, wherein the printed circuit board carrier 10 includes a first carrier plate 101 and a second carrier plate 102 hinged by a pin shaft, and the first carrier plate 101 and the second carrier plate 102 can clamp the printed circuit board in a folded state. The operating system of the printed circuit board carrier includes: a lifting mechanism 1, a peeling mechanism 2, and a gripping mechanism (not shown in the figure).

[0032] The lifting mechanism 1 can move in a first direction to lift up the second carrier plate 102 located above the first carrier plate 101 of the printed circuit board carrier 10 placed on the conveying platform 20 and clamping the printed circuit board, so that the second carrier plate 102 rotates relative to the first carrier plate 101 with the pin as the center, thereby forming a first set angle with the first carrier plate 101; the peeling mechanism 2 has a peeling rod 21, which can move to extend between the first carrier plate 101 and the second carrier plate 102 in a state where the first carrier plate 101 and the second carrier plate 102 form the first set angle and apply force to the second carrier plate 102, so that the second carrier plate 102 rotates relative to the first carrier plate 101 with the pin as the center, thereby forming a second set angle with the first carrier plate 101, and the second set angle is greater than the first set angle; the grabbing mechanism can grab the printed circuit board between the first carrier plate 101 and the second carrier plate 102 in a state where the first carrier plate 101 and the second carrier plate 102 form the second set angle.

[0033] In this embodiment, when used specifically, after the carrier 10 with the printed circuit board is transferred to the transfer platform 20, first, the first carrier plate 101 and the second carrier plate 102 of the carrier 10 are pushed apart by the lifting mechanism 1 to a first set angle; then, the peeling rod 21 is extended between the first carrier plate 101 and the second carrier plate 102, and the carrier 10 is separated again to a second set angle by the peeling rod 21; finally, the printed circuit board in the carrier 10 is grabbed to the set work station by the grabbing mechanism, thereby completing the separation of the printed circuit board and the carrier. It should be understood that the first setting angle in this embodiment is a smaller angle, the purpose of which is to enable the peeling rod 21 to extend between the first carrier 101 and the second carrier 102 to separate the first carrier 101 and the second carrier 102 to the second setting angle again. Therefore, the first setting angle only needs to make the distance between the first carrier 101 and the second carrier 102 greater than the diameter of the peeling rod 21; and the second setting angle is a larger angle, the purpose of which is to use the grabbing mechanism to grab the printed circuit board between the first carrier 101 and the second carrier 102 to the set station. The operating system replaces the process of manually separating the printed circuit board carrier, improves the production efficiency of the printed circuit board, and at the same time, avoids the collision of the printed circuit board during the separation process, and improves the safety of the separation of the printed circuit board and the carrier.

[0034] In the above embodiment, preferably, the second set angle is less than 90°, and the peeling rod can move to leave the second carrier plate, so that the second carrier plate can rotate relative to the first carrier plate around the pin axis under the action of gravity to restore the retracted state. Therefore, when the peeling rod leaves the second carrier plate, the second carrier plate can restore the retracted state with the first carrier plate under the action of gravity, thereby facilitating the recycling of the printed circuit board carrier.

[0035] In the above embodiments, preferably, referring to Figure 3 As shown, the operating system also includes a carrier rotating mechanism 3, which includes a telescopic arm 31, a rotating motor 32 and a clamping part 33. The rotating motor 32 is installed on the power output end of the telescopic arm 31, and the clamping part 33 is installed on the power output end of the rotating motor 32. The telescopic arm 31 can drive the clamping part 33 to move along the second direction, so that the clamping part 33 can clamp the carrier 10 when the first carrier plate 101 and the second carrier plate 102 are restored to the retracted state; the rotating motor 32 can drive the clamping part 33 to rotate, so that the carrier 10 is rotated to a set angle. In this embodiment, refer to Figure 4 As shown, the carrier 10 needs to be rotated from a horizontal position to a vertical position, and then the carrier 10 is grabbed onto the carrier assembly line using a carrier grabbing mechanism 30. The carrier rotation mechanism 3 cooperates with the carrier grabbing mechanism 30 to realize automated collection of the carrier 10, thereby improving the collection efficiency of the carrier.

[0036] In the above embodiment, preferably, the lifting mechanism 1 is a lifting rod, the diameter of the lifting rod 1 has a set value, the first carrier plate 101 has a notch 1011, and the lifting rod 1 can move along the first direction to pass through the notch 1011 on the first carrier plate 101 and contact the second carrier plate 102, thereby pushing the first carrier plate 101 and the second carrier plate 102 apart by a first set angle. In this embodiment, the structure of the lifting mechanism 1 is very simple, which is easy to implement and repair.

[0037] In the above embodiment, preferably, the peeling mechanism 2 further includes a driving mechanism 22, which is connected to the peeling rod 21, and the driving mechanism 22 can drive the peeling rod 21 to move along the third direction so that the peeling rod 21 extends between the first carrier plate 101 and the second carrier plate 102 when the first carrier plate 101 and the second carrier plate 102 form a first set angle; the driving mechanism 22 can also drive the peeling rod 21 to move along the fourth direction so that the peeling rod 21 applies force to the second carrier plate 102, so that the second carrier plate 102 rotates relative to the first carrier plate 101 with the pin as the center, thereby forming a second set angle with the first carrier plate 101. Since the driving mechanism 22 can drive the peeling rod 21 to move in two directions, the peeling rod 21 can flexibly avoid other devices, thereby improving the reliability of the operating system.

[0038] In the above embodiment, preferably, the operating system further comprises a conveying platform 20, the carrying surface of the conveying platform 20 is used to carry the printed circuit board carrier 10 and can convey the printed circuit board carrier 10 along the fifth direction, thereby facilitating the transportation of the printed circuit board carrier 10.

[0039] In the above embodiment, preferably, the first direction is a direction perpendicular to the carrying surface of the conveying platform, the second direction is the same as the first direction, the third direction is parallel to the carrying surface and perpendicular to the first direction, and the fourth direction is parallel to the carrying surface and perpendicular to the third direction. Thus, the operating system of the printed circuit board carrier can flexibly and reliably take out the printed circuit board clamped by the printed circuit board carrier and realize the collection of the printed circuit board carrier.

[0040] In the above embodiment, preferably, the gripping mechanism is a vacuum suction cup. Using the vacuum suction cup to grip the printed circuit board can avoid damage to the printed circuit board and ensure the safety of the printed circuit board.

The conveying device is used to convey the printed circuit board, the glue dispensing device 200 is used to dispense glue to the printed circuit board on the conveying device, and the curing device 300 is used to perform ultraviolet curing on the printed circuit board on the conveying device. The printed circuit board after glue dispensing and curing is separated from the carrier by the operating system 400 of the printed circuit board carrier, and the separated printed circuit board is the finished printed circuit board.
