[0006] The main technical problem solved by this invention is to provide a receiving cart for a chip mounter. Items are placed in a fixed area to avoid falling and causing damage and safety hazards. The material tray of the previous process is placed on the shelf, and the material of the current process is placed on the platform bracket, which is convenient for operation and avoids misplacement. The fixed receiving clamp can be operated with one hand, which improves the efficiency of the production line. The entire receiving cart has a small footprint, is compact and lightweight, and is easy to operate.

[0007] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts a technical solution as follows: providing a receiving cart for a chip mounter, comprising: a base, a support column disposed on the base, and a working platform disposed on the upper end of the support column. The working platform is provided with two sets of positioning brackets for engaging the receiving clamps. The side of the working platform is provided with a handle-type frame for placing a scanner. One side of the support column is provided with a shelf for receiving materials from the previous process. A platform bracket for receiving materials from the current process is rotatably disposed below the working platform. A limit post is provided on the end of the platform bracket away from the working platform.

[0008] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the end of the platform bracket away from the limiting post is disposed below the working platform via a rotating shaft and can rotate around the rotating shaft.

[0009] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the platform bracket has an "L" shaped structure.

[0010] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the side of the work platform is further provided with an insertion slot for placing scissors.

[0011] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the insertion slot includes two sets of adjacent circular or square insertion slots.

[0012] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the diameters of the two sets of grooves are not equal.

[0013] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the shelf is a semi-circular frame structure.

[0014] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the two sets of positioning card seats are arranged opposite to each other and have a snap-fit ​​groove adapted to the cylinder of the receiving clamp head, wherein the snap-fit ​​groove is a "C" shaped groove structure.

[0015] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, four casters are provided below the base.

[0016] In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a recycling bin for collecting garbage is provided on the base.

[0017] The beneficial effects of this invention are: items are placed in a fixed area to avoid falling and causing damage and safety hazards; the material tray of the previous process is placed on the shelf, and the material of the current process is placed on the platform bracket, which is convenient for operation and avoids misplacement; the fixed receiving clamp can be operated with one hand, which improves the efficiency of the production line; the entire receiving cart occupies little space, is compact, lightweight and easy to operate. Attached Figure Description

[0018] To more clearly illustrate the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention, the accompanying drawings used in the description of the embodiments will be briefly introduced below. Obviously, the drawings described below are only some embodiments of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, other drawings can be obtained based on these drawings without creative effort, wherein:

[0019] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a receiving cart for a chip mounter according to the present invention;

[0020] Figure 2 This is a side view of a receiving cart for a chip mounter according to the present invention;

[0021] Figure 3 This is a top view of a receiving cart for a chip mounter according to the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-3This invention relates to a receiving cart for a chip mounter, comprising: a base 1, a support column 2 disposed on the base, and a working platform 3 disposed on the upper end of the support column. The working platform is provided with two sets of positioning brackets 4 for engaging the receiving clamp. Specifically, the two sets of positioning brackets are arranged opposite to each other and have engaging grooves adapted to the head of the receiving clamp. The engaging grooves are C-shaped grooves. When the operator needs to place the receiving clamp, the cylinder of the receiving clamp head can be inserted into the C-shaped groove and fixed with only one hand, which is convenient to operate and can improve work efficiency.

[0024] The side of the work platform is provided with a handle-type frame 5 for placing the scanner, and one side of the support column is provided with a shelf 6 for receiving materials from the previous process. The shelf is a semi-circular frame structure. The bottom of the work platform is rotatably provided with a platform bracket 7 for receiving materials from the current process, which can realize the separate placement of materials from different processes, facilitate operation, and avoid misplacement.

The end of the platform bracket away from the limit post is located below the working platform via a pivot and can rotate around the pivot. When materials need to be placed, the platform bracket can be pulled out to place the materials for the current process. When not in use, the platform bracket can be rotated back to below the working platform to save space.

[0026] Specifically, the side of the work platform is also provided with an insertion slot 9 for placing scissors. The insertion slot includes two sets of adjacent circular or square insertion slots with different diameters, which can hold different types of scissors and other sharp tools to prevent them from falling and causing damage and safety hazards.

[0027] Specifically, four casters 10 are provided on the bottom of the base to facilitate the movement and handling of the receiving vehicle. A recycling bin 11 for collecting waste is provided on the base to temporarily store and collect waste generated during the production process.

[0028] In summary, the material receiving cart for a chip mounter disclosed in this invention has a small footprint, is compact and lightweight, and is easy to operate. Items are placed in a fixed area to avoid falling and causing damage and safety hazards. The material tray of the previous process is placed on the shelf, and the material of the current process is placed on the platform bracket, which facilitates operation, avoids misplacement, and allows for one-handed operation of the fixed receiving clamp, thereby improving production line efficiency.

[0029] The above description is merely an embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the patent scope of the present invention. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the content of the present invention specification, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of the present invention.
