After welding, the welding area needs to be cooled for a period of time to avoid overheating of the welding area and affecting the next process of the PCB board.

[0003] According to Chinese Patent CN213028726U, a PCB circuit board buffer machine is disclosed. The device includes a frame, a pair of conveying tracks, a buffer box, and a buffer lifting mechanism. The buffer lifting mechanism includes a pair of buffer lifting plates and a number of buffer placement tracks. The pair of buffer lifting plates are placed in the buffer box, and the buffer placement tracks are arranged on the buffer lifting plates. The buffer lifting plates automatically lift and lower a certain distance after caching one to continue caching, so as to meet the requirements of production use. However, this device uses the buffer box as a medium to hold the PCB circuit board and adopts a vertical lifting method. When subsequent processing is required, manual or other equipment is still needed for handling, resulting in low efficiency and large space occupation.
