[0017] The present invention also provides a method for loading and unloading boards, including the above double-layer cartridge jig lifting type exchange loading and unloading board equipment. The loading and unloading steps are as follows:

[0018] Step 1: The carrier vehicle carries a turnover tray loaded with an external circuit board or an empty cartridge jig into the conveying channel. The two lifting drivers drive their respective lifting frames to rise, so that the two first lifting conveyor belts lift the turnover tray loaded with an external circuit board or an empty cartridge jig and rise with the respective lifting frames. The carrier vehicle exits the conveying channel.

[0019] Step 2: The two first lifting conveyor belts rise to be flush with the material loading and unloading conveying device. The two lifting drivers stop. The two first lifting conveyor belts simultaneously convey the turnover tray loaded with an external circuit board or an empty cartridge jig to the material loading and unloading conveying device, so that the turnover tray loaded with an external circuit board or an empty cartridge jig is placed on the material loading and unloading conveying device, and the cartridge jig loaded with an external circuit board or an empty one is in the material loading and unloading station, facilitating the manipulator to perform the board loading and unloading operation.

[0020] Step 3: During the operation of the manipulator for loading and unloading materials, the two lifting drivers drive their respective lifting frames to descend and reset. The two first lifting conveyor belts descend and reset along with their respective lifting frames. The carrier vehicle then carries the turnover tray loaded with the external circuit board or the empty cassette fixture into the conveying channel. The two lifting drivers drive their respective lifting frames to rise, so that the two first lifting conveyor belts lift the turnover tray loaded with the external circuit board or the empty cassette fixture and rise along with their respective lifting frames. The two second lifting conveyor belts rise to be flush with the loading and unloading conveying device. The two lifting drivers stop the machine and wait for the manipulator to complete the operation of loading and unloading the board;

[0021] Step 4: After the manipulator completes the operation of loading and unloading materials, the loading and unloading conveying device conveys the turnover tray loaded with the external circuit board or the empty cassette fixture to the two second lifting conveyor belts. After the two second lifting conveyor belts receive the turnover tray loaded with the external circuit board or the empty cassette fixture, the two lifting drivers drive their respective lifting frames to descend, so that the two first lifting conveyor belts are flush with the loading and unloading conveying device again. The two first lifting conveyor belts convey the turnover tray loaded with the external circuit board or the empty cassette fixture to the loading and unloading conveying device again, so that the turnover tray loaded with the external circuit board or the empty cassette fixture is in the loading and unloading station again, which is convenient for the manipulator to perform the operation of loading and unloading the board and reduces the downtime waiting for the turnover tray loaded with the external circuit board or the empty cassette fixture to be conveyed to the loading and unloading board station;

[0022] Step 5: The two lifting drivers drive their respective lifting frames to continue descending, so that the two second lifting conveyor belts receiving the turnover tray loaded with the external circuit board or the empty cassette fixture descend along with their respective lifting frames. When the turnover tray loaded with the external circuit board or the empty cassette fixture is pressed on the carrier vehicle under the action of gravity, the turnover tray loaded with the external circuit board or the empty cassette fixture is separated from the two second lifting conveyor belts. The two lifting drivers stop the machine. The carrier vehicle receives the turnover tray loaded with the external circuit board or the empty cassette fixture and exits the conveying channel to convey the turnover tray loaded with the external circuit board or the empty cassette fixture to the next production line. The two lifting drivers drive their respective lifting frames to descend, so that the two first lifting conveyor belts and the two second lifting conveyor belts are reset;

[0023] Step 6: Repeat the above steps 3 to 5 to exchange and convey the turnover tray loaded with the external circuit board or the empty cassette fixture between the loading and unloading conveying device and the carrier vehicle.

[0024] Advantages of the present invention: The vehicle of the present invention conveys the turnover tray to the loading and unloading conveying device through the first lifting conveyor belt, and the loading and unloading conveying device conveys the turnover tray to the vehicle through the second lifting conveyor belt, enabling the turnover tray carrying the material box fixture to be exchanged and conveyed between the loading and unloading conveying device and the vehicle, reducing the downtime of the loading and unloading machine, and improving the efficiency of loading and unloading circuit boards.

[0035] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0036] As Figures 1 to 8 shown, the double-layer cartridge fixture lifting type exchange and feeding and discharging board machine compatible with a trolley and an AGV of the present invention includes a circuit board cartridge fixture 1 for carrying an external one, a manipulator for feeding and discharging an external circuit board to and from the cartridge fixture 1, a carrier vehicle 2, a lifting device 3, and a feeding and discharging conveying device 4. The carrier vehicle 2 is a trolley and an AGV car. The carrier vehicle 2 is provided with a transfer tray 21 for carrying the cartridge fixture 1, facilitating the simultaneous conveyance of a plurality of cartridge fixtures 1 and improving the conveyance efficiency of the cartridge fixture 1.

[0037] The lifting device 3 is arranged on one side of the loading and unloading conveying device 4. The lifting device 3 is used to transport the turnover tray 21 up and down between the carrier vehicle 2 and the loading and unloading conveying device 4. The loading and unloading conveying device 4 is a loading and unloading board station and is used to receive or convey the turnover tray 21 transported by the lifting device 3. Through the turnover tray 21, the cartridge fixture 1 with an external circuit board or the empty cartridge fixture 1 can be conveniently conveyed to the loading and unloading conveying device 4, i.e., the loading and unloading board station. The manipulator is arranged between the loading and unloading conveying device 4 and the external processing production line, facilitating the manipulator to pick up the external circuit board from the cartridge fixture 1 with an external circuit board at the loading and unloading board station and place it on the processing production line, or pick up the circuit board from the processing production line and put it into the empty cartridge fixture 1 at the loading and unloading board station.

[0038] There are two lifting devices 3. The two lifting devices 3 are arranged side by side at intervals to form a conveying channel for the carrier vehicle 2 to enter and exit, facilitating the entry and exit of the carrier vehicle 2. Each lifting device 3 includes a lifting conveyor belt 31 and a lifting driver 32. The lifting driver 32 is a linear lifter. The lifting conveyor belt 31 includes a lifting frame 33, a first lifting conveyor belt 34, and a second lifting conveyor belt 35. The first lifting conveyor belt 34 and the second lifting conveyor belt 35 are perpendicular to each other and are relatively rotatably arranged on the lifting frame 33, so that the first lifting conveyor belt 34 and the second lifting conveyor belt 35 form a double-layer structure. The first lifting conveyor belt 34 is located above the second lifting conveyor belt 35, facilitating the exchange and conveyance of the turnover tray 21 between the loading and unloading conveying device 4 and the carrier vehicle 2. The lifting driver 32 is used to drive the lifting frame 33 to lift and lower. The first lifting conveyor belt 34 and the second lifting conveyor belt 35 follow the lifting and lowering of the lifting frame 33, so that the first lifting conveyor belt 34 and the second lifting conveyor belt 35 are lifted and lowered between the loading and unloading conveying device 4 and the carrier vehicle 2. The carrier vehicle 2 conveys the turnover tray 21 to the loading and unloading conveying device 4 through the first lifting conveyor belt 34, and the loading and unloading conveying device 4 conveys the turnover tray 21 to the carrier vehicle 2 through the second lifting conveyor belt 35, enabling the turnover tray 21 carrying the cartridge fixture 1 to be exchanged and conveyed between the loading and unloading conveying device 4 and the carrier vehicle 2, reducing the downtime of the loading and unloading board machine and improving the efficiency of loading and unloading circuit boards.

[0039] In actual use, the manipulator is a two-axis suction cup manipulator, including a horizontally arranged linear cylinder module, a vertically arranged linear cylinder module, and a suction cup. The manipulator moves left and right through the horizontally arranged linear cylinder module, moves up and down through the vertically arranged linear cylinder module, and sucks the external circuit board through the suction cup. The suction cup is connected to the horizontally arranged linear cylinder module through the vertically arranged linear cylinder module, so that the suction cup moves left and right with the horizontally arranged linear cylinder module and moves up and down with the vertically arranged linear cylinder module on the horizontally arranged linear cylinder module, facilitating the manipulator to pick up and place the external circuit board in the cartridge fixture 1.

[0040] When receiving the circuit board, the carrier vehicle 2 moves the turnover tray 21 carrying the empty cassette jig 1 into the conveying channel. The two lifting drivers 32 drive their respective lifting frames 33 to rise, causing the two first lifting conveyor belts 34 to jointly lift the turnover tray 21 carrying the empty cassette jig 1 and follow their respective lifting frames 33 to rise. When the two first lifting conveyor belts 34 rise to the same level as the loading and unloading conveying device 4, the two lifting drivers 32 stop. The two first lifting conveyor belts 34 simultaneously convey the turnover tray 21 carrying the empty cassette jig 1 to the loading and unloading conveying device 4, placing the turnover tray 21 carrying the empty cassette jig 1 on the loading and unloading conveying device 4, realizing the placement of the turnover tray 21 carrying the empty cassette jig 1 at the circuit board receiving and placing station. The external circuit board is placed into the cassette jig 1 at the circuit board receiving and placing station by the manipulator. During the process of the manipulator placing the external circuit board into the cassette jig 1 at the circuit board receiving and placing station, the carrier vehicle 2 exits the conveying channel. At the same time, the two lifting drivers 32 drive their respective lifting frames 33 to descend, resetting the two first lifting conveyor belts 34 and the two second lifting conveyor belts 35, completing the first time the carrier vehicle 2 conveys the turnover tray 21 carrying the empty cassette jig 1 to the loading and unloading conveying device 4 through the first lifting conveyor belt 34.

[0041] The carrier vehicle 2 moves the turnover tray 21 carrying the empty cassette jig 1 into the conveying channel again. The two lifting drivers 32 drive their respective lifting frames 33 to rise, causing the two first lifting conveyor belts 34 to lift the turnover tray 21 carrying the empty cassette jig 1 and follow their respective lifting frames 33 to rise. When the two second lifting conveyor belts 35 rise to the same level as the loading and unloading conveying device 4, the two lifting drivers 32 temporarily stop. The loading and unloading conveying device 4 conveys the turnover tray 21 carrying the cassette jig 1 with the external circuit board to the two second lifting conveyor belts 35, placing the turnover tray 21 carrying the cassette jig 1 with the external circuit board on the two second lifting conveyor belts 35. The two lifting drivers 32 drive their respective lifting frames 33 to descend again. When the two first lifting conveyor belts 34 descend to the same level as the loading and unloading conveying device 4, the two lifting drivers 32 stop. The two first lifting conveyor belts 34 convey the turnover tray 21 carrying the empty cassette jig 1 to the loading and unloading conveying device 4 again, placing the turnover tray 21 carrying the empty cassette jig 1 on the loading and unloading conveying device 4, completing the second time the carrier vehicle 2 conveys the turnover tray 21 carrying the empty cassette jig 1 to the loading and unloading conveying device 4 through the first lifting conveyor belt 34, facilitating the manipulator to place the external circuit board into the cassette jig 1 at the circuit board receiving and placing station, reducing the downtime of the circuit board receiving and placing machine, and improving the efficiency of receiving the circuit board.

[0042] During the process of the manipulator placing an external circuit board into the cartridge fixture 1, the two lifting drivers 32 drive their respective lifting frames 33 to descend, so that the turnover tray 21 of the cartridge fixture 1 with the external circuit board carried on the two second lifting conveyor belts 35 is placed on the carrier vehicle 2, and the carrier vehicle 2 exits the conveying channel with the turnover tray 21 of the cartridge fixture 1 carrying the external circuit board, realizing that the loading and unloading conveying device 4 conveys the turnover tray 21 of the cartridge fixture 1 carrying the external circuit board to the carrier vehicle 2 through the second lifting conveyor belt 35. Repeating this process, the carrier vehicle 2 conveys the turnover tray 21 to the loading and unloading conveying device 4 through the first lifting conveyor belt 34, and the loading and unloading conveying device 4 conveys the turnover tray 21 to the carrier vehicle 2 through the second lifting conveyor belt 35, enabling the turnover tray 21 carrying the cartridge fixture 1 to be exchanged and conveyed between the loading and unloading conveying device 4 and the carrier vehicle 2. Similarly, the operation of placing the circuit board can also be completed, that is, the carrier vehicle 2 conveys the turnover tray 21 of the cartridge fixture 1 carrying the external circuit board to the loading and unloading conveying device 4 through the first lifting conveyor belt 34, and the loading and unloading conveying device 4 conveys the turnover tray 21 of the cartridge fixture 1 with an empty cartridge to the carrier vehicle 2 through the second lifting conveyor belt 35, ultimately reducing the downtime of the board loading and unloading machine and improving the efficiency of loading and unloading circuit boards.

[0043] The first lifting conveyor belt 34 and the second lifting conveyor belt 35 in this embodiment both include a first driving wheel 36, a first driven wheel 37, a first conveyor belt body 38, and a first driver 39. The first driver 39 is a reduction motor. The first driving wheel 36 and the first driven wheel 37 both rotate relatively on one side of the lifting frame 33. The first conveyor belt body 38 is sleeved between the first driving wheel 36 and the first driven wheel 37. The first driver 39 is fixed to the lifting frame 33 and drives the first driving wheel 36 to rotate, thereby driving the first driven wheel 37 and the first conveyor belt body 38 to rotate, enabling the first lifting conveyor belt 34 and the second lifting conveyor belt 35 to convey the turnover tray 21.

[0044] In actual use, the turnover tray 21 is provided with L-shaped positioning bodies 22 for fixing the cartridge fixture 1. The number of L-shaped positioning bodies 22 is at least two, and the two L-shaped positioning bodies 22 are arranged diagonally, restricting the cartridge fixture 1 within the two diagonally arranged L-shaped positioning bodies 22, and fixing the cartridge fixture 1 to the turnover tray 21.

[0045] In actual use, the turnover tray 21 is provided with positioning holes 23 for positioning with the carrier vehicle 2. The carrier vehicle 2 is provided with positioning posts 24 corresponding to the positioning holes 23. When the turnover tray 21 is carried on the carrier vehicle 2, the positioning posts 24 are inserted into the positioning holes 23, positioning and fixing the turnover tray 21 to the carrier vehicle 2, making the fixation between the carrier vehicle 2 and the turnover tray 21 more precise.

[0046] On one side of the material feeding and discharging conveying device 4 of this embodiment away from the lifting device 3, there is a conveying device 5 spliced to an external processing production line. The conveying device 5 includes a bracket 51, a conveying roller group 52 rotatably arranged on the bracket 51, a conveying driver 53 for driving the conveying roller group 52 to rotate, and a limiting member 54 fixed to the bracket 51. The conveying roller group 52 is used to carry and convey external circuit boards, so that the external circuit boards on the external processing production line are conveyed to the limiting member 54 through the conveying roller group 52, facilitating the manipulator to pick up the external circuit boards from the material box fixture 1 containing the external circuit boards and place them on the processing production line or take the circuit boards from the processing production line and put them into the empty material box fixture 1.

[0047] The conveying device 5 is provided with a positioning and adjusting mechanism 6 for adjusting the position of the external circuit board. The positioning and adjusting mechanism 6 includes a rack 61 fixedly arranged at one end of the bracket 51 close to the limiting member 54, an adjusting driver 62 meshing and driving with the rack 61, and an adjusting member 63 fixed to the adjusting driver 62. The adjusting driver 62 is a reduction motor. The adjusting member 63 protrudes into the gap of the conveying roller group 52, so that the adjusting member 63 protrudes from the top conveying end of the conveying roller group 52, facilitating the adjusting member 63 to abut against the external circuit board on the conveying roller group 52. The rack 61 is arranged parallel to the conveying roller group 52 up and down, so that the rack 61 extends along the gap of the conveying roller group 52.

[0063] The present invention also provides a plate collection and release method, including the above-mentioned double-layer material box fixture lifting exchange plate collection and release device, and the collection and release steps are as follows:

[0064] Step 1: The carrier 2 carries the turnover tray 21 with the external circuit board or the empty material box jig 1 into the conveying channel, and the two lifting drivers 32 drive the respective lifting frames 33 to rise, so that the two first lifting conveyor belts 34 lift the turnover tray 21 with the external circuit board or the empty material box jig 1 and rise with the respective lifting frames 33, and the carrier 2 exits the conveying channel;

[0065] Step 2: The two first lifting conveyor belts 34 rise to be flush with the loading and unloading conveyor device 4. The two lifting drives 32 stop operating. The two first lifting conveyor belts 34 simultaneously convey the turnover trays 21 carrying the external circuit boards or empty fixture carriers 1 to the loading and unloading conveyor device 4, so that the turnover trays 21 carrying the external circuit boards or empty fixture carriers 1 are placed on the loading and unloading conveyor device 4, and the external circuit boards or empty fixture carriers 1 are in the loading and unloading workstations, facilitating the manipulator to perform the circuit board loading and unloading operations;

[0066] Step 3: During the circuit board loading and unloading operation of the manipulator, the two lifting drives 32 drive their respective lifting frames 33 to descend and reset. The two first lifting conveyor belts 34 descend and reset as their respective lifting frames 33 descend. The carrier vehicle 2 then carries the turnover trays 21 carrying the external circuit boards or empty fixture carriers 1 into the conveying channel. The two lifting drives 32 drive their respective lifting frames 33 to rise, so that the two first lifting conveyor belts 34 lift the turnover trays 21 carrying the external circuit boards or empty fixture carriers 1 and rise as their respective lifting frames 33 rise. The two second lifting conveyor belts 35 rise to be flush with the loading and unloading conveyor device 4. The two lifting drives 32 stop operating and wait for the manipulator to complete the circuit board loading and unloading operation;

[0067] Step 4: After the manipulator completes the circuit board loading and unloading operation, the loading and unloading conveyor device 4 conveys the turnover trays 21 carrying the external circuit boards or empty fixture carriers 1 to the two second lifting conveyor belts 35. After the two second lifting conveyor belts 35 receive the turnover trays 21 carrying the external circuit boards or empty fixture carriers 1, the two lifting drives 32 drive their respective lifting frames 33 to descend, so that the two first lifting conveyor belts 34 are again flush with the loading and unloading conveyor device 4. The two first lifting conveyor belts 34 convey the turnover trays 21 carrying the external circuit boards or empty fixture carriers 1 to the loading and unloading conveyor device 4 again, so that the external circuit boards or empty fixture carriers 1 are again in the loading and unloading workstations, facilitating the manipulator to perform the circuit board loading and unloading operations and reducing the downtime waiting for the turnover trays 21 carrying the external circuit boards or empty fixture carriers 1 to be conveyed to the circuit board loading and unloading workstations;

[0068] Step 5: The two lifting drivers 32 drive their respective lifting frames 33 to continue descending, so that the two second lifting conveyor belts 35 carrying the turnover trays 21 that receive and carry the external circuit boards or empty cartridge fixtures 1 descend with their respective lifting frames 33. When the turnover trays 21 carrying the external circuit boards or empty cartridge fixtures 1 are pressed on the carrier vehicle 2 under the action of gravity, the turnover trays 21 carrying the external circuit boards or empty cartridge fixtures 1 are separated from the two second lifting conveyor belts 35. The two lifting drivers 32 stop the machine. The carrier vehicle 2 receives the turnover trays 21 carrying the external circuit boards or empty cartridge fixtures 1 and exits the conveying channel to convey the turnover trays 21 carrying the external circuit boards or empty cartridge fixtures 1 to the next production line. The two lifting drivers 32 drive their respective lifting frames 33 to descend, so that the two first lifting conveyor belts 34 and the two second lifting conveyor belts 35 are reset;

[0069] Step 6: Repeat the above Steps 3 to 5, so that the turnover trays 21 carrying the external circuit boards or empty cartridge fixtures 1 are alternately conveyed between the loading and unloading conveying device 4 and the carrier vehicle 2.
