The first station 150 and the second station 160 are set on the upper side of the workbench mounting plate 110. The first station 150 and the second station 160 are both installed with a slotted PCBA board storage board 170. In the specific setting, the slotted PCBA board storage board 170 is set to a PVC board, and the surface of the slotted PCBA board storage board 170 is a smooth surface.

[0030] A flip shaft 210 is provided in the middle of the second workstation 160, and the slotted PCBA board storage plate 170 is movably engaged with the flip shaft 210. The flip shaft 210 is provided in the middle of the second workstation 160, and the slotted PCBA board storage plate 170 is movably engaged with the flip shaft 210. When the slotted PCBA board storage plate 170 is connected to the flip shaft 210, the flip shaft 210 can drive the slotted PCBA board storage plate 170 to flip, and then the two can be separated.

[0031] The slotted PCBA board storage plate 170 is configured as a flat plate with a right-angle bracket at one end. Multiple storage slots are defined on the upper side of the slotted PCBA board storage plate 170. When the slotted PCBA board storage plate 170 moves from the second station 160 to the first station 150, the processing device 140 removes the PCBA board. When the slotted PCBA board storage plate 170 enters the first station 150, the processing device 140 can operate on the flipped slotted PCBA board storage plate 170, directly removing the PCBA board.

The slotted PCBA board storage plate 170 follows a U-shaped trajectory. After loading from the second workstation 160, the slotted PCBA board storage plate 170 is flipped by a flip shaft 210 and then moved to the end of the second workstation 160 by a running belt 180. The flipped PCBA board is positioned above the slotted PCBA board storage plate 170 and then moved to the first workstation 150 by a conveyor belt 230, forming a U-shaped trajectory.
