[0048] Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs) or Flexible Printed Circuits (FPCs) are crucial electrical connection carriers for electronic components. To meet the needs of mass production, PCBs or FPCs are typically manufactured by connecting multiple sheets together in a board shape. Before entering the production line, the PCBs or FPCs are placed on a first fixture. A loading machine is used to move the PCBs or FPCs from the fixture onto the production line. Generally, a robotic arm picks up the fixture and the PCBs or FPCs together and places them into the loading machine. The PCBs or FPCs are then moved by the robotic arm to a second fixture on the production line to begin subsequent processing. The first fixture on the loading machine is temporarily stacked and stored by another robotic arm. However, existing loading machines suffer from the problem of requiring operators to frequently move the first fixture temporarily stored on the loading machine.

[0049] This invention proposes a feeding machine.

[0050] Please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a partial structural diagram of an embodiment of the feeding machine of the present invention. Figure 1 .

[0051] In this embodiment of the invention, the feeding machine includes:

[0052] 100 transfer stations;

[0053] The material handling device 200 is located on one side of the transfer table 100 and is used to move the first fixture to the transfer table 100.

[0054] The feeding device 300 is located on one side of the transfer table 100 and is used to transfer the target material in the first fixture on the transfer table 100.

[0055] Storage device 400, rotatably disposed on one side of transfer station 100, includes a first storage box 410 and a second storage box 420; and

[0056] A transfer device 500 is located on one side of the storage device 400 and is used to move the first fixture from the transfer table 100 to the storage position.

[0057] The storage device 400 rotates, causing one of the first storage box 410 and the second storage box 420 to move to the storage position to receive the first fixture, while the other rotates to one side of the storage position.

[0058] In one embodiment of the present invention, the feeding machine includes a transfer station 100, a picking device 200, a feeding device 300, and a transfer device 500. The picking device 200 moves a first fixture and the target material from outside the feeding machine onto the transfer station 100, and the feeding device 300 then moves the target material from the first fixture to a subsequent workstation. The feeding machine in this embodiment also includes a storage device 400 for storing the first fixture. The first fixture is moved from the transfer station 100 to the storage device 400 via the transfer device 500 and temporarily stacked therein. The storage device 400 is rotatable and includes a first storage box 410 and a second storage box 420. When the first storage box 410 is in the storage position receiving the first fixture, the second storage box 420 is on one side of the storage position. When the first storage box 410 is full, the storage device 400 rotates, and the second storage box 420 is in the storage position to receive the first fixture, while the first storage box 410 is stationary on one side of the storage position. Through the rotation of the storage device 400 itself, the first storage box 410 and the second storage box 420 switch to receive the first fixture, increasing the space for receiving the first fixture and allowing more first fixtures to be stored. Therefore, the frequency at which the operator needs to move the full first fixture is reduced.

[0059] Optionally, a first containment box 410 and a second containment box 420 constitute a containment box group, and the containment box group is provided with multiple spaced apart along the first direction, and multiple storage positions are provided, with each containment box group corresponding to one storage position.

[0060] Please combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, a first receiving box 410 and a second receiving box 420 form a receiving box group. Multiple receiving box groups are spaced apart along the movement direction of the second linear reciprocating component 520 of the transfer device 500. The second linear reciprocating component 520 of the transfer device 500 corresponds to the extended linear reciprocating motion of the storage device 400, forming multiple storage positions. Each receiving box group corresponds to one storage position, allowing the storage device 400 to store a larger number of first fixtures and reducing the frequency at which the operator needs to move a full set of first fixtures. If more receiving box groups are provided, the storage device 400 requires more rotation space, easily leading to an increase in the equipment's footprint. Specifically, in this embodiment, two of each of the first receiving box 410 and the second receiving box 420 are provided, which increases the number of first fixtures that can be stored while ensuring a compact equipment structure.

[0061] Optionally, the first receiving box 410 has a first opening 411 to receive the first fixture, and a first notch 412 is provided on the side wall of the first receiving box 410. One end of the first notch 412 communicates with the first opening 411, and the other end of the first notch 412 extends to the bottom of the first receiving box 410; and / or,

[0062] The second containment box 420 has a second opening 421 to receive the first fixture. The side wall of the second containment box 420 has a second notch 422. One end of the second notch 422 is connected to the second opening 421, and the other end of the second notch 422 extends to the bottom of the second containment box 420.

[0063] Please refer to Figure 2 In this embodiment, the first receiving box 410 has a first opening 411 facing upwards. The first actuator of the transfer device 500 inserts the first fixture into the first receiving box 410 through the first opening 411. The side wall of the first receiving box 410 also has a first notch 412, one end of which connects to the first opening 411, and the other end extends to the bottom of the first receiving box 410, facilitating the removal of the first fixture from the side. Please refer to... Figure 2 In this embodiment, the second receiving box 420 has a second opening 421 facing upwards. The first actuator of the transfer device 500 stores the first fixture into the second receiving box 420 through the second opening 421. The side wall of the second receiving box 420 also has a second notch 422. One end of the second notch 422 connects to the second opening 421, and the other end extends to the bottom of the second receiving box 420, facilitating the removal of the second fixture 800 from the side. Specifically, in this embodiment, the first notch 412 of the first receiving box 410 and the second notch 422 of the second receiving box 420 are arranged opposite to each other, both facing outwards from the storage device 400, providing more operating space when removing the first fixture.

[0064] Optionally, the storage device 400 further includes:

[0065] The support member 430 is rotatably disposed below the first storage box 410 and the second storage box 420, and the first storage box 410 and the second storage box 420 are fixed to the support member 430.

[0066] Drive component, drive connection support 430.

[0067] Please combine Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment, the first receiving box 410 and the second receiving box 420 are connected by a support frame and can be fixed by screws or snap-fit, making it easier to align the rotation axes of the first receiving box 410 and the second receiving box 420. A drive assembly drives the support member 430 to rotate. Specifically, in this embodiment, the drive assembly is a motor, and the rotation axis of the motor shaft is the same as the rotation axes of the first receiving box 410 and the second receiving box 420.

[0068] Optionally, the transfer device 500 includes:

[0069] The first linear reciprocating component 510 is disposed on the same side of the transfer table 100 and the storage device 400, extends from the transfer table 100 to the storage device 400, and performs linear reciprocating motion along the second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction.

[0070] The second linear reciprocating component 520 is disposed on the side of the first linear reciprocating component 510 facing the storage device 400. It can perform linear reciprocating motion through the first linear reciprocating component 510 and perform linear reciprocating motion itself along the first direction.

[0071] The first lifting assembly 530 is disposed on the second linear reciprocating assembly 520. The first lifting assembly 530 is provided with a lifting first actuator. The transfer device 500 acquires or releases the first fixture through the first actuator. Through the movement of the first linear reciprocating assembly 510 and the second linear reciprocating assembly 520, the first actuator is moved to the top of any storage position or the top of the transfer table 100.

[0072] Please refer to Figure 3 In this embodiment, the transfer device 500 includes a first linear reciprocating assembly 510, a second linear reciprocating assembly 520, and a first lifting assembly 530. The first linear reciprocating assembly 510 can achieve linear reciprocating motion via a cylinder or a lead screw and nut mechanism, the second linear reciprocating assembly 520 can also achieve linear reciprocating motion via a cylinder or a lead screw and nut mechanism, and the first lifting assembly 530 can also achieve lifting motion via a cylinder or a lead screw and nut mechanism. Specifically, in this embodiment, both the first linear reciprocating assembly 510 and the second linear reciprocating assembly 520 adopt the form of a lead screw and nut mechanism, and the first lifting assembly 530 adopts the form of a rodless cylinder. The first lifting assembly 530 is equipped with a first actuator, which is used to acquire or release the first fixture, and can be achieved through clamping or negative pressure suction. The first linear reciprocating assembly 510 reciprocates linearly along a second direction, which is perpendicular to the first direction. When the first linear reciprocating assembly 510 moves, it drives the second linear reciprocating assembly 520 to move along the second direction. Simultaneously, the second linear reciprocating assembly 520 itself can reciprocate linearly along the first direction. When the second linear reciprocating assembly 520 reciprocates linearly along the first direction, it drives the first lifting assembly 530 to move. Simultaneously, the first lifting assembly 530 itself can lift. Through these three directions of movement, the transfer device 500 can flexibly move the first fixture. The structure is relatively simple and easy to arrange. Furthermore, when increasing or decreasing the number of receiving box assemblies in the storage device 400, only the second linear reciprocating assembly 520 needs to be modified, requiring minimal modification and offering strong applicability.

[0073] Optionally, the feeder also includes a conveying device 600, which is located on the same side of the feeder 300 as the transfer station 100. The target material is moved from the first fixture located on the transfer station 100 to the conveying device 600 via the feeder 300, and then leaves the feeder via the conveying device 600.

[0074] Please refer to Figure 4 In this embodiment, the feeding machine also includes a conveying device 600. The conveying device 600 can be a synchronous belt or a friction belt, etc. Specifically, in this embodiment, a synchronous belt drive is used, which is precise and easy to arrange. The feeding device 300 connects the conveying device 600 and the transfer station 100. The target material carried by the first fixture on the transfer station 100 is moved to the conveying device 600 through the feeding device 300. The conveying device 600 then conveys the target material away from the feeding machine and into the subsequent workstation. The structure is simple, and it can realize automated conveying and is easy to arrange.

[0075] Optionally, the feeding machine also includes a second fixture 800, which moves via a conveying device 600. When the target material moves via the conveying device 600, the target material is carried on the second fixture 800.

[0076] Please refer to Figure 4 In this embodiment, the feeding machine also includes a second fixture 800. The second fixture 800 is designed according to the target material and the conveying device 600. When the target material is conveyed by the conveying device 600, the second fixture 800 carries the target material, and the conveying device 600 conveys the second fixture 800. The second fixture 800 can protect the target material and facilitate the subsequent processing of the target material at subsequent workstations.

[0077] Optionally, the feeder also includes a lifting device 700, which is connected to the conveying device 600. Through the lifting of the lifting device 700, the conveying device 600 has a first position for receiving the second fixture 800 and conveying the second fixture 800 into the feeder, and a second position for receiving the target material and conveying the second fixture 800 out of the feeder.

[0078] Please combine Figure 4 and Figure 5In this embodiment, the feeding machine also includes a lifting device 700. The lifting device 700 can achieve lifting movement through a cylinder or a screw-nut mechanism, etc. Specifically, in this embodiment, the lifting device 700 uses a cylinder for lifting. The support of the conveying device 600 is fixed on the lifting device 700. When the lifting device 700 lifts, it drives the conveying device 600 to lift, allowing the conveying device 600 to switch between two positions. When the conveying device 600 is in the first position, the second fixture 800 returning from the subsequent station enters the conveying device 600. Then, the lifting device 700 switches the conveying device 600 from the second position to the second position. The feeding device 300 moves the target material from the first fixture on the transfer table 100 to the second fixture 800 on the conveying device 600. Then, the conveying device 600 transports the second fixture 800 carrying the target material away from the feeding machine and into the subsequent station. The lifting device 700 allows the conveying device 600 to change its working position, making reasonable use of space and making the structure of the entire production line more compact and occupying less area.

[0079] Optionally, the feeding device 300 includes:

[0080] The third linear reciprocating component 310 has one end set on one side of the transfer table 100 and the other end extended to one side of the conveying device 600, and can perform linear reciprocating motion.

[0081] The second lifting assembly 320 is located on the side of the third linear reciprocating assembly 310 facing the transfer station 100. The second lifting assembly 320 is equipped with a second actuator that can be lifted. The feeding device 300 obtains or releases the target material through the second actuator. Through the linear reciprocating motion of the third linear reciprocating assembly 310, the second actuator is moved to above the transfer station 100 or above the conveying device 600.

[0082] Please refer to Figure 5In this embodiment, the feeding device 300 includes a third linear reciprocating assembly 310 and a second lifting assembly 320. The third linear reciprocating assembly 310 can achieve linear reciprocating motion through a cylinder or a lead screw and nut mechanism, and the second lifting assembly 320 can also achieve lifting motion through a cylinder or a lead screw and nut mechanism. Specifically, in this embodiment, the third linear reciprocating assembly 310 adopts a lead screw and nut mechanism, and the second lifting assembly 320 adopts a rodless cylinder. The third linear reciprocating assembly 310 can perform linear reciprocating motion along a first direction, driving the second lifting assembly 320 to move during the motion, while the second lifting assembly 320 itself can also perform lifting motion. The second lifting assembly 320 is equipped with a second actuator, which acquires or releases the target material. The second actuator can fix the target material through clamping or negative pressure suction. The layout of the transfer station 100, the conveying device 600, and the feeding device 300 allows the feeding device 300 to move the target material from the transfer station 100 to the conveying device 600 with only two directions of movement. The structure is simple and easy to arrange.

Through the linear reciprocating motion of the fourth linear reciprocating assembly 210, the third actuator is moved to the top of the transfer table 100 or outside the feeding machine.

[0086] Please combine Figure 5 and Figure 6In this embodiment, the material handling device 200 includes a fourth linear reciprocating assembly 210 and a third lifting assembly 220. The fourth linear reciprocating assembly 210 can achieve linear reciprocating motion through a cylinder or a lead screw and nut mechanism, and the third lifting assembly 220 can also achieve lifting motion through a cylinder or a lead screw and nut mechanism. Specifically, in this embodiment, the fourth linear reciprocating assembly 210 adopts a lead screw and nut mechanism, and the third lifting assembly 220 adopts a rodless cylinder. The fourth linear reciprocating assembly 210 can perform linear reciprocating motion along a first direction, and during this motion, it can drive the third lifting assembly 220 to move.
