IC carrier boards are developed on the basis of HDI boards. As a high-end PCB board, they have the characteristics of high density, high precision, miniaturization, and thinness. IC carrier boards are also called packaging substrates. In the field of high-order packaging, IC carrier boards have replaced traditional lead frames and become an indispensable part of chip packaging. This has put forward higher requirements for the production equipment and production processes of IC carrier boards. In the production process of IC carrier boards, in order to ensure that IC carrier boards are not contaminated by external dust and the surfaces of IC carrier boards do not undergo friction and scratches, it is necessary to store the processed IC carrier boards in carriers, stack the carriers, and then perform processes such as board separation, transportation, and storage.

For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the communication inside two components or the interaction relationship between two components, unless otherwise clearly defined. The directions or positions indicated by terms such as "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "bottom", "top", "front", "rear" and the like are based on the directions or positions shown in the accompanying drawings, and are only for the convenience of description and cannot be understood as a limitation to the technical solution of the present application. The meaning of "a plurality" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 , this embodiment provides a temporary storage carrier plate picking and positioning mechanism, which is installed behind the carrier plate temporary storage mechanism 2. The carrier plate temporary storage mechanism 2 is connected to the carrier plate loading line and is used to temporarily store multiple carrier plates 3 conveyed by the carrier plate loading line at one time. Specifically, the temporary storage carrier plate picking and positioning mechanism 1 includes a plate picking component 11, a plate slapping platform 12 and a plate slapping component 13. A fixing frame 14 is provided at the rear end of the plate slapping platform 12, and the plate slapping platform 12 is fixed through the fixing frame 14. The plate picking component 11 is used to place the carrier plate 3 on the temporary storage position in the carrier plate temporary storage mechanism 2 onto the plate slapping platform 12. The plate slapping component 13 is used to slap both sides of the carrier plate 3 on the plate slapping platform 12 to position the carrier plate 3 in the middle of the plate slapping platform 12, so as to facilitate the subsequent picking mechanism to accurately place the carrier plate 3 on the bottom plate of the carrier, so as to accurately place the carrier plate 3 into the carrier. Through the above-mentioned picking and positioning mechanism of the present invention, through the plate picking component 11, the plate slapping platform 12 and the plate slapping component 13, it is possible to realize the automatic picking of the carrier plate 3 on the temporary storage position in the carrier plate temporary storage mechanism 2 and the positioning of the carrier plate 3, so as to facilitate the subsequent picking mechanism to accurately pick the plate.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 2 to 4, in one embodiment, the board picking assembly 11 includes a board picking plate 111, a board picking lifting module 112 and a board picking telescopic module 113. The telescopic end of the board picking telescopic module 113 is connected to the board picking lifting module 112, and the lifting end of the board picking lifting module 112 is connected to the board picking plate 111. A relief channel 121 for the board picking plate 111 to pass through is provided in the middle of the board slapping platform 12. The width of the relief channel 121 is smaller than the width of the carrier board 3. If the width of the relief channel 121 is greater than the width of the carrier board 3, the carrier board 3 cannot be placed on the board slapping platform 12. The board slapping assembly 13 includes a board slapping rod driving assembly and two board slapping rods 131 respectively arranged below the left and right sides of the relief channel 121. The two board slapping rods 131 are driven by the board slapping rod driving assembly to move towards each other or away from each other. A plurality of connecting rods 132 arranged side by side along their lengths are provided at the tops of the two board slapping rods 131. A plurality of guiding sliding grooves 122 for the corresponding connecting rods 132 to pass through and slide left and right are provided at the left and right ends of the board slapping platform 12. A transverse board slapping wheel 133 is provided at the top of the connecting rod 132. At the same time, the distance between two adjacent board slapping wheels 133 in the length direction of the board slapping rod 131 is smaller than the length of the carrier board 3, so that when the position of the carrier board 3 is being slapped straight, at least two board slapping wheels 133 on the same side slap towards the corresponding side of the carrier board 3 to prevent the position of the carrier board 3 from being slapped off.

[0031] During operation, the board picking telescopic module 113 extends the board picking plate 111 so that the board picking plate 111 enters below the carrier board 3 in the temporary storage position of the carrier board storage mechanism 2. Then, the board picking lifting module 112 lifts the board picking plate 111, and the board picking plate 111 lifts the carrier board 3 in the temporary storage position of the carrier board storage mechanism 2. At this time, the top of the board picking plate 111 passes through the relief channel 121, and the lifted carrier board 3 is located above the board slapping platform 12. The board picking telescopic module 113 retracts the board picking plate 111, and then the board picking lifting module 112 drives the board picking plate 111 to descend, so that the lifted carrier board 3 is placed on the board slapping platform 12. Then, the board slapping rod driving assembly drives the two board slapping rods 131 to slap on both sides of the carrier board 3 on the board slapping platform 12 to position the carrier board 3 in the middle of the board slapping platform 12.

[0032] Through the above - provided board picking plate 111, board picking lifting module 112 and board picking telescopic module 113, the board picking assembly 11 can quickly and stably place the carrier board 3 in the temporary storage position of the carrier board storage mechanism 2 on the board slapping platform 12. Through the above - provided board slapping rod driving assembly and board slapping rods 131, the board slapping assembly 13 can quickly and stably position the carrier board 3 on the board slapping platform 12 left and right and position the carrier board 3 in the middle of the board slapping platform 12. In addition, by adopting the above - provided board picking assembly 11, board slapping platform 12 and board slapping assembly 13, the overall structure of the temporary storage position board picking and positioning mechanism 1 can be made more compact, saving occupied space.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 3, Further, in order to stably drive the two platen rods 131 to move towards or away from each other, the platen rod driving assembly includes a platen motor 134, a platen belt 135, a slide rail 136, two connecting sliders 137 and two belt connectors 138. The platen motor 134 is fixed on the fixing frame 14, the platen belt 135 is movably arranged on the fixing frame 14, the output shaft of the platen motor 134 is parallel to the platen belt 135 and drives the platen belt 135 to rotate. The two connecting sliders 137 are respectively arranged at the rear ends of the two platen rods 131, and the two connecting sliders 137 are slidably connected to the slide rail 136. One of the connecting sliders 137 is also connected to one side of the platen belt 135 through one of the belt connectors 138, and the other connecting slider 137 is also connected to the other side of the platen belt 135 through the other belt connector 138. During operation, the platen motor 134 drives the platen belt 135 to rotate, and both sides of the platen belt 135 drive the corresponding platen rod 131 to move towards or away from each other along the slide rail 136 through the belt connectors 138 on this side.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Further, in order to make the overall structure of the temporary storage load position plate taking and positioning mechanism 1 more compact and save occupied space, the platen motor 134, the platen belt 135 and the slide rail 136 are all located at the front side of the upper end of the fixing frame 14. A first avoidance opening 141 for avoiding the plate taking block 111 and the plate taking lifting module 112 is arranged in the middle of the lower end of the fixing frame 14. The first avoidance opening 141 can enable the plate taking lifting module 112 to drive the plate taking block 111 to smoothly pass through the avoidance channel 121 of the platen platform 12 for plate taking operation.

[0035] Preferably, the plate taking lifting module 112 adopts a vertically upwardly arranged air cylinder, and the telescopic end of the air cylinder is connected to the rear end of the plate taking block 111. Using the air cylinder as the plate taking lifting module 112 to drive the plate taking block 111 to lift can further make the overall structure of the temporary storage load position plate taking and positioning mechanism 1 more compact and save occupied space.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 3, in one embodiment, a rear positioning baffle 15 for positioning the front - rear position of the carrier board 3 is provided at the top end of the clapper platform 12. A second avoidance opening 151 for avoiding the plate - taking block 111 is provided in the middle of the lower end of the rear positioning baffle 15. The width of the second avoidance opening 151 is smaller than the width of the carrier board 3, so as to prevent the carrier board 3 from passing through the rear positioning baffle 15 and making the rear positioning baffle 15 unable to play a positioning role. The second avoidance opening 151 enables the plate - taking lifting module 112 to drive the plate - taking block 111 to smoothly pass through the avoidance channel 121 of the clapper platform 12, and enables the plate - taking telescopic module 113 to drive the plate - taking block 111 to pass through the rear positioning baffle 15, so that the carrier board 3 on the plate - taking block 111 can touch the rear positioning baffle 15, thereby realizing the positioning of the front - rear position of the carrier board 3.

[0037] Please refer to Figures 3 to 5 , in one embodiment, an in - place sensor 16 for sensing whether the carrier board 3 on the temporary storage position in the carrier board temporary storage mechanism 2 is in place is provided below the front end of the clapper platform 12. When the in - place sensor 16 senses that the carrier board 3 on the temporary storage position in the carrier board temporary storage mechanism 2 is in place, the plate - taking assembly 11 is activated to start the plate - taking operation.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1 , in one embodiment, the carrier board temporary storage mechanism 2 includes a temporary storage lifting module 21, a temporary storage lifting platform 22 and a temporary storage rack 23. The movable end of the temporary storage lifting module 21 is connected to the temporary storage lifting platform 22, and the temporary storage rack 23 is fixed on the temporary storage lifting platform 22. A plurality of layers of temporary storage positions are provided on the temporary storage rack 23, and each layer of temporary storage position can temporarily store one carrier board 3, so as to realize the one - time temporary storage of multiple carrier boards 3. When the plate - taking positioning mechanism 1 of the temporary storage position takes a plate, the temporary storage lifting module 21 drives the temporary storage rack 23 to move up and down through the temporary storage lifting platform 22, so that the temporary storage position storing the carrier board 3 is docked with the material - taking end of the plate - taking positioning mechanism 1 of the temporary storage position. After the plate - taking positioning mechanism 1 of the temporary storage position senses that the carrier board 3 is in place, it takes away the carrier board 3 stored on this temporary storage position through the material - taking assembly and places it on the clapper platform 12 for positioning.

[0039] It should be understood that the present invention is applicable not only to IC carrier boards, but also to the storage and handling of plate - like materials such as BGA boards and PCB boards.
