[0033] Embodiment 1

[0034] like Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, this embodiment provides a chip material box, including a main box body 1 and a comb tooth member 2, wherein the main box body 1 includes two opposite positioning plates 11, and the two positioning plates 11 are provided with a plurality of spaced protruding columns 111, and the plurality of protruding columns 111 on the two positioning plates 11 correspond to each other one by one, and guide grooves 112 are formed between adjacent protruding columns 111. Specifically, the chip 100 is placed between the two opposite guide grooves 112, so that a plurality of chips 100 can be placed in the chip material box at one time. The comb tooth part 2 can selectively fit with the positioning plate 11. The comb tooth part 2 includes a plurality of spaced racks 21. A limiting groove 210 is formed between adjacent racks 21. The limiting groove 210 corresponds to the guide groove 112 one by one, and the groove width of the limiting groove 210 is smaller than the groove width of the guide groove 112. When the comb tooth part 2 is assembled with the inner wall of the main box body 1, the limiting groove 210 can reduce the activity space of the chip 100. When the chip material box is placed vertically, the chip 100 with a smaller thickness can be placed vertically, avoiding the problem that the transfer mechanism needs to adjust the angle multiple times when taking the chip 100, thereby improving the processing efficiency of the chip 100. At the same time, the comb teeth 2 can be selectively fitted with the positioning plate 11, that is, the comb teeth 2 and the inner wall of the main box body 1 can be detachably connected, so the staff can selectively assemble the comb teeth 2 according to the placement state of the chip material box. When the chip material box is placed horizontally, the comb teeth 2 can be not assembled. When the chip material box is placed vertically, the comb teeth 2 is assembled. The chip material box can be used both horizontally and vertically, which makes the chip material box more versatile and more flexible to use.

[0035] The chip material box provided in this embodiment is provided with a comb tooth part 2, and the slot width of the limit groove 210 in the comb tooth part 2 is smaller than the slot width of the guide groove 112 inside the main box body 1. When the chip material box is placed vertically, for the chip 100 with a smaller thickness, the limit groove 210 reduces the activity space of the chip 100, thereby avoiding the problem of the tilting of the chip 100 with a smaller thickness in the prior art. In this way, when the transfer mechanism takes the chip 100 with a smaller thickness, the rotating mechanism does not need to adjust the angle multiple times to align the chip 100, which greatly improves the processing efficiency of the chip 100. The comb tooth part 2 can be selectively fitted with the positioning plate 11, that is, the comb tooth part 2 and the side wall of the main box body 1 can be detachably connected, so the staff can selectively assemble the comb tooth part 2 according to the placement state of the chip material box, so that the chip material box can be used both horizontally and vertically, and the chip material box has higher versatility and is more flexible to use.

[0036] Furthermore, the main box body 1 further includes a crossbeam 13 and a connecting plate 12, both of which are connected between the positioning plates 11, and the crossbeam 13 is parallel to and spaced from the connecting plate 12. The arrangement of the connecting plate 12 and the crossbeam 13 makes the structure of the main box body 1 more stable. Specifically, the connecting plate 12 is connected to the top of the two positioning plates 11, and the crossbeam 13 is connected to the bottom of the two positioning plates 11. In this way, the front and rear of the main box body 1 are both in an open state, which is more convenient for taking and placing the chip 100. Preferably, the chip material box further includes a handle 4, wherein the handle 4 is connected to the connecting plate 12, and the arrangement of the handle 4 is convenient for the staff to take the chip material box.

[0037] Preferably, the plurality of protruding columns 111 are spaced apart from each other, so that the plurality of chips 100 in the main box body 1 can be placed at equal distances, making it easier for the transfer mechanism to take the chips 100.

[0038] Preferably, two comb teeth 2 are provided, and the two comb teeth 2 are respectively fitted with two positioning plates 11 , so that both edges of the chip 100 can be limited, so that the chip 100 can be stably placed in the main box body 1 .

[0039] Exemplarily, the comb teeth 2 also include a connecting strip 22, wherein a plurality of racks 21 are spaced apart and placed on the connecting strip 22, the racks 21 include a first folded edge 211 and a second folded edge 212 which are perpendicular to each other, the first folded edge 211 is connected to the connecting strip 22, and the connecting strip 22 and the first folded edge 211 can fit with the side of the positioning plate 11. In this way, the connecting strip 22 and the first folded edge 211 can enable the comb teeth 2 to overlap the side of the positioning plate 11, thereby achieving preliminary positioning of the comb teeth 2 and the positioning plate 11, and then the connecting strip 22 and the positioning plate 11 can be fixed with fasteners to ensure a firm connection between the two. The fixing point of the comb teeth 2 and the positioning plate 11 is set on the side of the positioning plate 11, so that there is no risk of contact with the fasteners when the chip 100 is placed, so that the smoothness of the surface of the chip 100 is guaranteed, and thus the quality of the chip 100 is guaranteed. In this embodiment, the fastener is a bolt, and the comb-tooth member 2 and the positioning plate 11 can be fixed by turning the bolt forward, and the comb-tooth member 2 and the positioning plate 11 can be disassembled by turning the bolt backward. The plurality of second folded edges 212 correspond to the plurality of protruding columns 111 one by one.

[0040] Furthermore, the rack 21 is designed to be a first folded edge 211 and a second folded edge 212 that are perpendicular to each other, which can ensure that the formed limit groove 210 will not block the opening of the guide groove 112. When the chip box is placed horizontally, the transfer mechanism can take the chip 100 from the front and back directions of the chip box, further reducing the adjustment difficulty of the transfer mechanism, increasing the speed of transferring the chip 100 between different processes, and improving the processing efficiency of the chip 100.

[0041] Preferably, the side wall of the first folded edge 211 is provided with an inclined surface 2111, so that when the chip 100 is placed inside the main box body 1, the inclined surface 2111 can guide the chip 100, so that the chip 100 can be quickly placed inside the main box body 1.

[0042] Preferably, the connecting bar 22 and the rack 21 are an integrated structure, which not only makes the overall structure of the comb tooth part 2 more stable, but also avoids assembly errors caused when the rack 21 and the connecting bar 22 are connected, and further improves the accuracy of the one-to-one correspondence between multiple racks 21 and multiple protruding columns 111.

[0043] In this embodiment, a positioning groove 113 is further provided on the first positioning plate 11, and the positioning groove 113 is connected to a plurality of protruding columns 111, and a notch groove 1111 is formed on each protruding column 111, and the positioning groove 113 is perpendicular to the guide groove 112, that is, the plurality of notch grooves 1111 are formed in a straight line, and an opening is provided at one end of the positioning groove 113, and the chip material box also includes a positioning bar 3, and the positioning bar 3 is placed in the positioning groove 113, and a plurality of spaced positioning blocks 31 are provided on the positioning bar 3. When the chip material box is placed horizontally, the positioning bar 3 falls, and the positioning block 31 and the protruding column 111 opposite thereto can clamp the chip 100 to fix the chip 100, so as to avoid the chip 100 in the chip material box from shaking or even falling when the staff transfers the chip material box, and ensure that when the chip material box is transferred, a plurality of chips 100 can be stably placed in the chip material box.

[0044] Furthermore, the comb-tooth member also includes a hanging plate 23, wherein the hanging plate 23 is connected to a side of the connecting strip 22 away from the rack 21, and the hanging plate 23 includes a first folding plate 231 and a second folding plate 232 intersecting each other, and the first folding plate 231 is opposite to the second folding plate 212. When the comb-tooth member 2 is assembled with the positioning plate 11, the first folding plate 231 is in contact with a side of the positioning plate 11 away from the protruding column 111, and the second folding plate 232 is in contact with the side of the positioning plate 11. In this way, the comb-tooth member 2 can be integrally mounted on the positioning plate 11, so as to realize the rapid assembly of the comb-tooth member 2 and the positioning plate 11. In addition, the second folding plate 232 can block the opening, so that the multiple positioning blocks 21 are filled in the notched grooves 1111 of the multiple protruding columns 111. When the comb tooth member 2 is assembled with the positioning plate 11, the positioning bar 3 is embedded in the positioning groove 113 to prevent the positioning bar 3 from contacting the chip 100 when the chip box is placed vertically, thereby preventing the chip 100 from affecting the surface smoothness of the chip 100, thereby ensuring the performance of the chip 100.
