During the conveying process, the reference edge aluminum blocks 73 on both sides are used for the conveying limit of the PCB board.

[0039] A start button 831, a stop button 832, an emergency stop button 833, and a three-color lamp 834 are mounted on the outer plate surface of the third frame 83.

[0040] The material transport cart includes a frame 1 with universal wheels, a carriage 2, and a partition 3. The upper plate surface of the frame 1 is provided with the carriage 2. The partition 3 is inserted into a partition slot on the inner wall of the carriage 2. The PCB board is placed in the space enclosed by the partition 3 and the carriage 2. The carriage 2 is composed of 3 vertically placed enclosing boards (without boards at the upper and lower ends and with an opening on one side), and the stacking and feeding of PCB boards with different areas can be satisfied by adjusting the insertion position of the partition 3.

[0041] Specific implementation case 2:

[0042] Based on specific implementation case 1, the loading system of the automatic board collecting machine includes a lifting component 5, a board placing and picking component 6, a belt conveyor component 7, and a frame 8. Since the transfer distance between the board placing and picking component 6 and the PCB board production equipment is relatively long, the product is first placed on the belt conveyor component 7 for conveyance. The board placing and picking component 6 adsorbs the PCB board that has been conveyed to the position and places it into the feeding cart through the lifting component 5. The operation of the automatic board placing machine is opposite. After the lifting component 5 raises the PCB board in the feeding cart to the suction height, the board placing and picking component 6 places the PCB boards one by one into the belt conveyor component 7 and enters the processing area through the inlet end of the PCB board processing equipment.

[0043] Specific implementation case 3:

[0044] Based on specific implementation cases 1 and 2, the fully automatic board collecting and placing machine for PCB boards can also adopt one or more of the following preferred technical solutions.

[0045] Optionally, the belt conveyor component 7 further includes a guide shaft 74. The two ends of the guide shaft 74 are respectively fixed to the first belt pulley mounting plate 712 and the second belt pulley mounting plate support plate 725. The guide shaft 74 is connected to the second belt pulley mounting plate 724 through a linear bearing. The guide shaft 74 plays a role in connecting and supporting the movable belt module 72 on the one hand, and a role in moving and guiding on the other hand.

[0046] Optionally, the belt conveyor assembly 7 further includes a support plate 75, which includes a support plate body 751, a locking plate 752, and rollers 753. Guide shaft mounting grooves are machined on the plate surfaces of the support plate body 751 and the locking plate 752. The support plate body 751 and the locking plate 752 are engaged with the guide shaft 74 through the guide shaft mounting grooves. The support plate body 751 and the locking plate 752 are fixedly connected by bolts. The rollers 753 are installed near the upper end surface of the support plate body 751. The support plate 75 is arranged at the center of the distance between the first pulley mounting plate 712 and the second pulley mounting plate support 725 or at a position of L / 3 on one side of the distance center (defining the distance between the first pulley mounting plate 712 and the second pulley mounting plate support 725 as L). This is mainly to avoid the problem of the entire PCB board surface sagging due to gravity during the conveying process due to the excessive area of the PCB board. The support plate 75 can not only support the center of the thinner PCB board, but also help the conveyance of the PCB board through the rollers 753.

[0047] Optionally, the material transport cart is also provided with a navigation drive system, which can plan its own route to move to the destination and can bypass obstacles encountered during operation.

[0048] Optionally, the material transport cart further includes a limit component 4, which includes a jaw cylinder 41 and a male head column 42. The cylinder body of the jaw cylinder 41 is fixed on the plate surface of the second frame 82. The male head column 42 is fixed at the lower end of the front plate surface of the vehicle frame 1. A clamping groove matching the male head column 42 is machined on the inner side of the output end of the jaw cylinder 41. After the sensor senses that the material transport cart is in place, the pneumatic jaw cylinder 41 clamps the male head column to complete the positioning of the material transport cart.

[0049] Preferably, for the fully automatic PCB board loading and unloading machine, the limit component 4 further includes a buffer head 43 and a guide buffer wheel set 44. The buffer head 43 is arranged at the front end of the position after the vehicle frame 1 runs in place and abuts against the lower plate surface of the vehicle frame 1. For example, the buffer head 43 can be directly fixed on the plate surface of the second frame 82 or fixed on the plate surface of the jaw cylinder 41 (as Figure 3 shown); the guide buffer wheel set 44 includes a guide bar and rollers. The rollers are installed in the guide bar. The two guide bars are respectively fixed to the plate surfaces of the first frame 81 and the third frame 83. The setting of the buffer head 43 can prevent the material transport cart from colliding with the outer plate of the equipment of the feeding system during operation or being clamped. The guide buffer wheel set 44 guides the material transport cart to correct its orientation under the guiding action of the guide buffer wheel set 44 during the process of running from the outside to the feeding station of the feeding system, ensuring the smooth progress of the subsequent clamping operation and the smooth material taking operation after clamping.

[0050] Optionally, the material transport cart is provided with a cart pallet 11, the carriage 2 is arranged on the upper plate surface of the cart pallet 11, and the PCB board is placed in the enclosed space surrounded by the cart pallet 11, the carriage 2 and the partition 3. The lifting table surface 52 is complementarily arranged with the plane position of the cart pallet 11 (that is, the structures of the lifting table surface 52 and the cart pallet 11 are staggered and do not overlap in the plane position, as Figure 3 shown, the lifting table surface 52 can be lifted from the gap of the cart pallet 11).

[0051] The above embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present invention. The description is relatively specific and detailed, but it cannot be understood as a limitation to the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present invention, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention should be subject to the appended claims.

The cylinder body of the clamping cylinder is fixed to the panel of the second frame, and the male column is fixed to the lower end of the front panel of the frame. A clamping groove matching the male column is processed on the inner side of the output end of the clamping cylinder. After the sensor senses that the material transport cart is in place, the pneumatic clamping cylinder clamps the male column to complete the positioning of the material transport cart.

6. The fully automatic PCB board loading and unloading machine according to claim 5, characterized in that: The limiting assembly also includes a buffer head and / or a guide buffer wheel group, wherein the buffer head is arranged at the front end of the position after the frame moves into position and contacts the lower end plate surface of the frame; the guide buffer wheel group includes a guide bar and a roller, wherein the roller is installed in the guide bar, and the two guide bars are respectively fixed to the plate surfaces of the first frame and the third frame.

7. The fully automatic PCB board loading and unloading machine according to claim 4, characterized in that: The material transport cart is provided with a cart pallet, the carriage is arranged on the upper plate surface of the cart pallet, the PCB board is placed in the space enclosed by the cart pallet, the carriage and the partition, and the lifting platform is arranged in a complementary position to the plane position of the cart pallet.
