By providing the hollow tubes 502, the conveyor toothed belts 501 can be connected so as to drive the support plate 4 to move through the hollow tubes 502, thereby achieving the purpose of PCB board transposition; it is worth noting that the upper ends of the hollow tubes 502 penetrate the interior of the annular groove 301 before being fixedly connected to the lower surface of the support plate 4; the inner walls of the two sets of conveyor toothed belts 501 are meshed and connected with multiple sets of matching teeth 503, and by providing matching teeth 503, it can drive the conveyor toothed belts 501 to rotate; it is worth noting that the multiple sets of matching teeth 503 are respectively provided at the four corners of the conveyor toothed belt 501, for ensuring the shape of the conveyor toothed belt 501, and at the same time enabling the conveyor toothed belt 501 to drive the positioning rod 504 to move along the prescribed path;

The two groups of shifting components 5 can move synchronously; the lower right end of the pulley group 505 is provided with a driven tooth 506 which is sleeved on the surface of the positioning rod 504. By setting the driven tooth 506, the positioning rod 504 and the pulley group 505 can be driven to move synchronously; one side of the driven tooth 506 is meshed with a driving tooth 507, and the lower end of the driving tooth 507 is fixedly connected to the driving source. By setting the driving tooth 507, the driven tooth 506 can be driven to rotate. It is worth noting that, in combination with the attached Figure 4 The driving teeth 507 and the driven teeth 506 are intermittently engaged to ensure that the PCB board has time to maintain a stable state each time it changes position, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the detection results.

[0035] Combined with attachment Figure 1 -Attached Figure 7 By setting two groups of stabilizing components 6 for fixing the PCB board, the PCB board can remain stable during the detection and transposition process, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the detection results; the stabilizing component 6 includes a square ring 601 sleeved on the surface of the conveyor toothed belt 501, the square ring 601 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the cavity, and the inner wall of the square ring 601 is slidably matched with the outer surface of the conveyor toothed belt 501. By setting the square ring 601, it can play a guiding and limiting role; the surface of the square ring 601 is provided with a notch 602, and by providing the notch 602, it can drive other components to move up and down through its shape;

[0036] The square ring 601 is provided with a matching rod 603 below, and the end of the matching rod 603 passes through the guide groove 5012 and extends into the interior of the vertical groove 5011. The surface of the matching rod 603 is sleeved with a collar 604, and the collar 604 is movably connected to the matching rod 603. The surface of the collar 604 fits the lower surface of the square ring 601. By providing the matching rod 603 and the collar 604, the matching rod 603 and the collar 604 can cooperate with each other and move downward under the action of the collar 602 when the conveyor toothed belt 501 rotates. It is worth noting that by providing the collar 604 movably connected to the matching rod 603, the friction between the collar 604 and the square ring 601 can be reduced, so that the conveyor toothed belt 501 can rotate smoothly.

[0037] Among them, the end of the matching rod 603 is fixedly connected to a pull rod 605, the upper end of the pull rod 605 passes through the vertical slot 5011 and the interior of the hollow tube 502 and extends to the interior of the support plate 4. By setting the pull rod 605, the pull rod 605 can be driven to move downward synchronously during the downward movement of the matching rod 603; the end of the pull rod 605 is fixedly connected to a strip plate 606, and the strip plate 606 is elastically connected to the inner bottom surface of the support plate 4 through a connecting spring, and the surface of the strip plate 606 fits the inner wall of the support plate 4. By setting the strip plate 606, it can move synchronously with the pull rod 605, absorb the gas inside the support plate 4, so that a negative pressure state is formed inside the support plate 4, and the PCB board placed on the surface of the support plate 4 is adsorbed and fixed to ensure the detection result; it is worth noting that by setting the connecting spring, the reaction force generated by it can drive the strip plate 606 to automatically reset.

[0038] Specifically, when testing the thickness of a PCB, the PCB is first placed on the surfaces of the two sets of support plates 4 so that the PCB covers the circular hole 401. Then, the driving source is started to drive the driving teeth 507 to rotate. The rotation of the driving teeth 507 drives the driven teeth 506 and the pulley set 505 to rotate synchronously, thereby enabling the mating teeth 503 to drive the conveyor belt 501 to move.

[0039] When the conveyor toothed belt 501 moves, the pull rod 605 synchronously drives the matching teeth 503 and the positioning rod 504 to rotate, so that the positioning rod 504 moves out from the inside of the recess 602 and moves downward, and then the downward-moving matching rod 603 drives the strip plate 606 installed on the upper end of the pull rod 605 to move downward synchronously, so that the strip plate 606 starts to absorb the air inside the support plate 4, so that the support plate 4 generates a negative pressure, fixes the PCB board, and ensures the PCB board detection result;

[0040] As the driving teeth 507 continue to rotate, the conveying toothed belt 501 is driven to rotate intermittently, thereby achieving the purpose of automatically changing positions and accelerating detection efficiency.
