Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a material handling device, specifically to a feeding and unloading device for flexible copper clad laminate (FCC), belonging to the technical field of flexible copper clad laminate (FCC) production equipment. Background Technology

[0002] In the automated production line of Flexible Copper Clad Laminate (FCC), the products to be processed by FCC must first be neatly placed on a dedicated material board. The material board then transfers the products to the production line for subsequent processing steps. The material handling mechanism, as a key component connecting the "feed rack storage" and the "production line feeding," directly determines the continuity of overall production through its operational stability and efficiency. However, existing material handling equipment used in automated FCC production lines has several problems in practical applications: Due to the significant weight of both the FCC products and the material board supporting them, existing material handling devices often employ conventional mechanical grippers to transfer the material board. This type of gripping structure must withstand the combined weight of the material board and the product for extended periods. This not only makes it prone to insufficient clamping force, leading to material board tilting, product displacement, or even drop, causing product damage and production interruptions, but also exacerbates mechanical wear on the gripping mechanism due to continuous high-load operation, shortening equipment lifespan and increasing maintenance frequency and costs, further impacting production efficiency. Furthermore, the accompanying FCC feeding racks generally adopt a single-layer or a few fixed-layer material feeding structure design, resulting in low utilization of production floor space. In automated assembly line mass production scenarios, the material storage capacity of such feeding racks is limited, requiring operators to frequently stop the machine to replenish the material, leading to frequent interruptions in the production process, failing to meet the continuous material supply requirements of the assembly line, and restricting the overall production rhythm. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a feeding and unloading device for flexible copper-clad laminate (FCC). This invention increases the material storage capacity through multiple feeding layers, prevents material board displacement through top-feed unloading, and reduces the load on individual components through multi-component cooperation. It also enables bidirectional circulating material transport, ensuring the continuity of flexible copper-clad laminate (FCC) production.

[0007] The aforementioned feeding device for flexible copper-clad laminate (FCC) includes a lifting mechanism comprising a first mounting base mounted above a frame, a second worm gear reducer mounted on the first mounting base, an input end of which is connected to a second motor; an output end of the second worm gear reducer is connected to a second connecting shaft; second mounting bases are symmetrically arranged at the front and rear of the first mounting base, and a third connecting shaft is rotatably connected to the second mounting base, with first sprockets at both ends of the third connecting shaft; multiple second sprockets corresponding to the first sprockets are located below the frame, with a first chain between each second sprocket and its corresponding first sprocket, and a connecting block fixedly connected to the first chain, the connecting block being fixedly connected to the side of the lifting frame; multiple third sprockets are mounted on the second connecting shaft; multiple fourth sprockets are mounted on the third connecting shaft, with a second chain between each fourth sprocket and a third sprocket.

[0008] The aforementioned feeding device for flexible copper clad laminate (FCC) includes a mounting plate located between a first mounting base and a second mounting base on the frame. The mounting plate has multiple vertical plates, and an adjustment plate is provided on the inner side of each vertical plate. The vertical plates have multiple threaded holes. The adjustment plate has multiple adjustment holes, which correspond to the threaded holes. A fifth sprocket is provided on the upper side of the adjustment plate, and the fifth sprocket abuts against the second chain.

[0009] The aforementioned feeding device for flexible copper clad laminate (FCC) has a screw hole block located below the adjusting plate on the inner side of the vertical plate. An adjusting rod is threadedly connected to the screw hole block, and the upper end of the adjusting rod abuts against the adjusting plate.

[0010] The aforementioned feeding and unloading device for flexible copper-clad laminate (FCC) includes a locking mechanism comprising a third mounting base located below the frame and a mating block located below the feeding end of the feed rack; the mating block has a second insertion hole; the third mounting base has a second cylinder, the telescopic end of the second cylinder passes through the third mounting base and is connected to a second push rod, the second push rod mating with the second insertion hole; and multiple buffer blocks facing the feed rack are fixedly connected below the frame.

[0011] The aforementioned feeding device for flexible copper-clad laminate (FCC) has multiple fourth mounting seats on both sides of the frame, and a third cylinder on each fourth mounting seat. A movable plate is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the third cylinder, and a third push rod is symmetrically arranged below the movable plate. Multiple third insertion holes are provided on both sides of the material plate, and the third insertion holes cooperate with the third push rods.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: 1. In this invention, by setting multiple feeding layers on the feeding rack, the material plates containing FCC-compliant products can be neatly stored sequentially, reducing frequent replenishment operations and adapting to batch production needs. After the feeding rack enters from the front of the machine frame, the two are fixed by a locking mechanism between the feeding rack and the machine frame, which can effectively prevent displacement of the feeding rack during the material picking process and ensure the alignment accuracy of subsequent material picking actions. The lifting mechanism on the machine frame can drive the lifting frame to accurately adjust to the height corresponding to the feeding layer to be picked. The drive mechanism on the mounting beam can drive the transverse plate to slide smoothly along the first guide rail, so that the first push rod at the front end can be accurately moved to the first insertion hole above the rear of the material plate. Then, the first cylinder drives the first push rod to insert into the first insertion hole. Then, the drive mechanism drags the material plate into the lifting frame. The auxiliary moving mechanism allows for smooth movement along the feeding direction, reducing the load on the drive mechanism. The lifting mechanism then readjusts the height of the lifting frame to precisely align it with the receiving end of the production line. The coordinated action of the auxiliary moving mechanism and the drive mechanism ensures stable output of the material board. After the flexible copper-clad laminate (FCC) is processed and removed from the material board, and an empty material board is delivered from the production line receiving end, the lifting frame can be aligned with the receiving end. The first insertion rod at the rear end is inserted into the first insertion hole at the front end of the material board. The process is repeated in reverse to transport the material board back to the feeding frame, achieving bidirectional circular transport of the material board. No additional empty material board recycling equipment is required, effectively improving material board utilization, reducing production line interruptions caused by untimely empty material board transfer, and significantly enhancing the continuity and efficiency of automated flexible copper-clad laminate (FCC) production.

[0013] 2. In this invention, the lifting mechanism is driven by a second motor to operate a second worm gear reducer. The output end of the second worm gear reducer drives the second connecting shaft to rotate synchronously. Multiple third sprockets on the second connecting shaft rotate with it, and then, through the second chain transmission, drive the corresponding fourth sprockets on the third connecting shaft to rotate, so that the third connecting shaft rotates stably on the second mounting base. The first sprockets at both ends of the third connecting shaft rotate together. Since the first sprockets correspond to and cooperate with the second sprockets below the frame, and the first chain is wound between the first sprockets and the second sprockets, the rotation of the first sprockets drives the first chain to rotate cyclically. One end of the connecting block is fixed to the first chain, and the other end is fixedly connected to the side of the lifting frame, ultimately driving the lifting frame to rise and fall smoothly in the vertical direction. During this transmission process, the second worm gear reducer has good self-locking performance, which can effectively prevent the lifting frame from accidentally sliding down when carrying the weight of the material plate and the FCC product to be processed, ensuring the safe operation of the equipment and the stability of the material plate transfer. In addition, after adjusting the height of the adjusting plate to ensure the fifth sprocket is in close contact with the second chain to tighten the chain, the bolts are passed through the adjusting holes on the adjusting plate and screwed into the threaded holes of the vertical plate. This securely fixes the adjusting plate to the vertical plate, preventing the adjusting plate from shifting due to vibration during equipment operation. It ensures that the tension of the fifth sprocket on the second chain remains stable, avoiding chain slack that could cause transmission slippage and ensuring the transmission accuracy of the lifting mechanism. Subsequently, rotating the adjusting rod on the screw block so that its upper end is in close contact with the lower part of the adjusting plate provides effective support for the adjusting plate, further enhancing its load-bearing capacity and preventing it from moving due to long-term tension from the second chain. At the same time, it maintains the tension of the fifth sprocket on the chain, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the lifting mechanism and reducing equipment maintenance frequency and costs.

Detailed Implementation

[0016] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments, but this should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0017] Example: A feeding device for flexible copper-clad laminate (FCC) is configured as follows. Figure 1-7 As shown, the system includes a feeding rack 1 and a frame 2. The feeding rack 1 is welded from 6061 aluminum alloy profiles and anodized, combining lightweight and wear resistance for easy manual or mechanical transport. The frame 2 is welded from Q235 steel plates and shot-blasted and electrostatically sprayed, with a compressive strength ≥235MPa, providing stable support for the entire device. The feeding rack 1 enters from the front of the frame 2, connecting material storage and retrieval. Figure 2 As shown, the feeding rack 1 has multiple feeding layers 3, and material plates 4 are placed on the feeding layers 3 to support FCC products to be processed. The frame 2 is equipped with a lifting mechanism 5, which provides vertical power to the lifting frame 6. The lifting end of the lifting mechanism 5 is connected to the lifting frame 6, which is welded from 6061 aluminum alloy profiles, making it lightweight and rigid, thus preventing deformation due to its own weight during lifting. Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the lifting frame 6 is equipped with multiple mounting frames 7, which are made of Q235 steel plate and fixed to the lifting frame 6 with bolts. Symmetrically arranged below the mounting frames 7 are first guide rails 8, on which multiple first sliders 9 are slidably connected. The first sliders 9 are matched with the first guide rails 8 and their function is to realize the lateral sliding of the transverse plate 10. A transverse plate 10 is connected between the first sliders 9. The transverse plate 10 is made of 6061 aluminum alloy plate with a flat surface and is used to install the material handling components. First cylinders 11 are symmetrically arranged at the front and rear of the transverse plate 10. The first cylinders 11 are standard cylinders that provide lifting power to the first push rod 14. The telescopic end of cylinder 11 faces upward and is connected to a first connecting plate 12. The first connecting plate 12 is made of Q235 steel plate and is used to synchronously drive the first push rod 14 to move. The transverse plate 10 is provided with multiple sleeves 13 located outside the first cylinder 11 to provide guidance for the first push rod 14 and prevent it from deviating when it rises and falls. The first push rod 14 is slidably connected inside the sleeve 13. The first push rod 14 is made of 45 steel, chrome-plated, rust-proof and wear-resistant. It is inserted into the first insertion hole 15 of the material plate 4 to realize the gripping and dragging of the material plate 4. The first push rod 14 is connected to the first connecting plate 12 and can rise and fall synchronously with the first connecting plate 12. The material plate 4 is symmetrically provided with first insertion holes 15 at its front and rear. The first insertion holes 15 are round holes that fit with the first push rod 14 with a clearance of 0.5-1mm to ensure that the first push rod 14 can be inserted smoothly. A mounting beam 16 is provided between the first guide rails 8 and welded between the mounting frames 7 for mounting the drive mechanism 17. The drive mechanism 17 is provided on the mounting beam 16. The drive mechanism 17 is a conventional linear motion mechanism and can adopt a structure of servo motor and ball screw. A nut block is provided on the ball screw and is fixedly connected to the transverse plate 10. The ball screw is driven by the servo motor to rotate, so that the nut block moves along its axial direction under the cooperation of the first guide rail 8 and the first slider 9, providing lateral driving force for the transverse plate 10. The moving end of the drive mechanism 17 is connected to the transverse plate 10 and can drive the transverse plate 10 to slide precisely along the first guide rail 8. The lifting frame 6 is provided with auxiliary moving mechanisms 18 on both sides. The auxiliary moving mechanisms 18 are used to assist the material plate 4 in moving on the lifting frame 6 and reduce the load on the drive mechanism 17. The feeding frame 1 and the frame 2 are provided with a locking mechanism 19. The locking mechanism 19 is used to fix the relative position of the feeding frame 1 and the frame 2 to prevent the feeding frame 1 from shifting when picking up materials.By setting multiple feeding layers 3 on the feeding rack 1, the material plates 4 containing FCC-compliant products to be processed can be neatly stored sequentially, reducing frequent replenishment operations and adapting to batch production needs. After the feeding rack 1 enters from the front end of the frame 2, the feeding rack 1 and the frame 2 are fixed by the locking mechanism 19 between them, which can effectively prevent the feeding rack 1 from shifting during the material picking process and ensure the alignment accuracy of subsequent material picking actions. The lifting mechanism 5 on the frame 2 can drive the lifting frame 6 to be precisely adjusted to the height corresponding to the feeding layer 3 to be picked. The drive mechanism 17 on the mounting beam 16 can drive the transverse plate 10 to slide smoothly along the first guide rail 8, so that the first push rod 14 at the front end can be precisely moved to the first insertion hole 15 behind the material plate 4. Then, the first cylinder 11 drives the first push rod 14 to insert into the first insertion hole 15 to a depth of 15-20mm, and then the drive... Mechanism 17 drives the transverse plate 10 to smoothly drag the material plate 4 into the lifting frame 6. Under the action of the auxiliary moving mechanisms 18 on both sides of the lifting frame 6, the material plate 4 can move smoothly along the feeding direction. Then, the lifting mechanism 5 adjusts the height of the lifting frame 6 again to make it precisely aligned with the receiving end of the production line. Under the synergistic action of the auxiliary moving mechanism 18 and the drive mechanism 17, the material plate 4 is stably output. After the flexible copper-clad laminate (FCC) processing on the material plate 4 is completed and removed, when the empty material plate 4 is sent out by the receiving end of the production line, the lifting frame 6 can be aligned with the receiving end of the production line. The first push rod 14 at the rear end is inserted into the first insertion hole 15 at the front end of the material plate 4. The above steps are reversed to transport the material plate 4 back to the feeding frame 1, realizing bidirectional circulation transportation of the material plate 4. There is no need to configure an additional empty material plate 4 recycling device, which significantly enhances the continuity and efficiency of the automated production of flexible copper-clad laminate (FCC). Figure 2 As shown, the bottom of the feeding layer 3 is provided with multiple ball seats 20, which are made of 304 stainless steel and are fixed to the feeding layer 3 by welding. A universal ball 21, also made of 304 stainless steel and with a polished surface, is rotatably connected inside the ball seat 20. This universal ball 21 converts the sliding friction between the material plate 4 and the feeding layer 3 into rolling friction, facilitating the pushing or pulling of the material plate 4 into the feeding layer 3 and preventing wear on the bottom of the material plate 4. The feeding end of the feeding layer 3 is provided with a slot 22, which is rectangular. Its function is to provide clearance for the first push-in rod 14, ensuring that the first push-in rod 14 can be smoothly inserted into the first insertion hole 15 of the material plate 4, preventing the feeding layer 3 from obstructing the material picking action. Figure 4As shown, the auxiliary moving mechanism 18 includes a first worm gear reducer 50 disposed on the outside of the lifting frame 6. The first worm gear reducer 50 has a self-locking function to prevent the conveyor chain 55 from reversing. A first synchronous wheel 51 is disposed on both sides of one end of the lifting frame 6, and a second synchronous wheel 52 is disposed on both sides of the other end of the lifting frame 6. A first connecting shaft 53 is provided between the first synchronous wheels 51. The first connecting shaft 53 is made of 45# steel and has undergone heat treatment. Its function is to synchronously drive the first synchronous wheels 51 on both sides to rotate. The first connecting shaft 53 is connected to the output end of the first worm gear reducer 50 to realize power transmission. A first motor 54 is connected to the input end of the first worm gear reducer 50. The first motor 54 is a servo motor. A conveyor chain 55 is disposed between the first synchronous wheel 51 and the second synchronous wheel 52 on the same side. The upper surface of the conveyor chain 55 is higher than the upper surface of the lifting frame 6 by a height difference of 3-5mm, and it contacts the bottom of the material plate 4 and drives it to move. The first motor 54 drives the first worm gear reducer 50 to operate. The output end of the reducer drives the first connecting shaft 53 to rotate, which in turn drives the first synchronous pulleys 51 on both sides to rotate. The first synchronous pulleys 51 drive the second synchronous pulleys 52 to rotate synchronously through the conveyor chain 55. Since the upper surface of the conveyor chain 55 is higher than the lifting frame 6, when the material plate 4 is placed on the lifting frame 6, its bottom contacts the conveyor chain 55. When the conveyor chain 55 rotates, it drives the material plate 4 to move along the feeding direction through friction. This assists the drive mechanism 17 in conveying the material plate 4 and reduces the load pressure on the drive mechanism 17. Figure 3As shown, the lifting mechanism 5 includes a first mounting base 100 disposed above the frame 2 and welded to the top of the frame 2; a second worm gear reducer 101 is disposed on the first mounting base 100, the input end of the second worm gear reducer 101 is connected to a second motor 102, which is a servo motor, and the output end of the second worm gear reducer 101 is connected to a second connecting shaft 103, which is made of 45# steel; second mounting bases 104 are symmetrically disposed at the front and rear of the first mounting base 100 and welded to the frame 2; a third connecting shaft 105 is rotatably connected to the second mounting base 104, the third connecting shaft 105 is made of 45# steel and is connected to the second mounting base 104 through a deep groove ball bearing, allowing for smooth rotation without jamming; first sprockets 1 are respectively disposed at both ends of the third connecting shaft 105. 06; The frame 2 is provided with a plurality of second sprockets 107 corresponding to the first sprocket 106 below, which are used to cooperate with the first sprocket 106 to support the first chain 108; A first chain 108 is provided between the second sprocket 107 and the corresponding first sprocket 106, and a connecting block 109 is fixedly connected to the first chain 108, which is fixed to the first chain 108 and the lifting frame 6 by bolts, so as to convert the cyclic motion of the first chain 108 into the linear motion of the lifting frame 6; A plurality of third sprockets 110 are provided on the second connecting shaft 103, and a plurality of fourth sprockets 111 are provided on the third connecting shaft 105, which are used to cooperate with the third sprockets 110 to transmit power; A second chain 112 is provided between the fourth sprockets 111 and the third sprockets 110, so as to synchronously transmit the power of the second connecting shaft 103 to the plurality of third connecting shafts 105. The frame 2 is provided with a mounting plate 113 located between the first mounting base 100 and the second mounting base 104. The mounting plate 113 is made of Q235 steel plate and welded to the frame 2. The mounting plate 113 has multiple vertical plates 114, which are made of 6061 aluminum alloy and fixed to the mounting plate 113 by welding. An adjusting plate 115, also made of 6061 aluminum alloy, is provided on the inner side of each vertical plate 114, and has a smooth surface. The vertical plates 114 have multiple threaded holes 116. The adjusting plates 115 have multiple adjusting holes 117, which are oblong holes corresponding to the threaded holes 116 for easy adjustment. Adjust the height of the adjusting plate 115; the upper side of the adjusting plate 115 is provided with a fifth sprocket 118, which abuts against the second chain 112, and its function is to tension the second chain 112 to prevent the chain from slack; the inner side of the vertical plate 114 is provided with a screw hole block 119 located below the adjusting plate 115. The screw hole block 119 is made of 45 steel and welded to the vertical plate 114 for installing the adjusting rod 120; the adjusting rod 120 is threadedly connected to the screw hole block 119. The adjusting rod 120 is made of 45 steel and has a polyurethane gasket at the top, which supports the adjusting plate 115 and prevents the adjusting plate 115 from sagging due to the tension of the second chain 112.The lifting mechanism 5 drives the second worm gear reducer 101 through the second motor 102. The output end of the second worm gear reducer 101 drives the second connecting shaft 103 to rotate synchronously. Multiple third sprockets 110 on the second connecting shaft 103 rotate with it, and then drive the corresponding fourth sprockets 111 on the third connecting shaft 105 to rotate through the second chain 112, so that the third connecting shaft 105 rotates stably on the second mounting base 104. The first sprockets 106 at both ends of the third connecting shaft 105 rotate together. Since the first sprockets 106 correspond to the second sprockets 107 below the frame 2, and the first chain 108 is wound between the first sprockets 106 and the second sprockets 107, the rotation of the first sprockets 106 drives the first chain 108 to rotate cyclically. One end of the connecting block 109 is fixed on the first chain 108, and the other end is fixedly connected to the side of the lifting frame 6, which finally drives the lifting frame 6 to rise and fall smoothly in the vertical direction. During this transmission process, the second worm gear reducer 101 has good self-locking performance, which can effectively prevent the lifting frame 6 from accidentally sliding down when carrying the weight of the material plate 4 and the FCC product to be processed, thus ensuring the safe operation of the equipment and the stability of the material plate 4 during transportation. Furthermore, after adjusting the height of the adjusting plate 115 to ensure the fifth sprocket 118 is in close contact with the second chain 112 to tighten the chain, the bolt is passed through the adjusting hole 117 on the adjusting plate 115 and screwed into the threaded hole 116 of the vertical plate 114. This ensures the stable fixation of the adjusting plate 115 and the vertical plate 114, preventing the adjusting plate 115 from shifting due to vibration during equipment operation. It also ensures the tension of the fifth sprocket 118 on the second chain 112 remains stable, preventing chain slack and transmission slippage, and guaranteeing the transmission accuracy of the lifting mechanism 5. Subsequently, rotating the adjusting rod 120 on the screw hole block 119 so that its upper end is in close contact with the lower part of the adjusting plate 115 provides effective support for the adjusting plate 115, further enhancing its load-bearing capacity and preventing it from moving due to the long-term tension of the second chain 112. Simultaneously, it maintains the tension of the fifth sprocket 118 on the chain, ensuring the long-term stable operation of the lifting mechanism 5 and reducing maintenance frequency and costs. Figure 7As shown, the locking mechanism 19 includes a third mounting base 60 located below the frame 2 and a mating block 61 located below the feeding end of the feed rack 1. The mating block 61 has a second insertion hole 62, which is a round hole and is clearance-fitted with the second push rod 64. The third mounting base 60 has a second cylinder 63, which drives the second push rod 64 to extend and retract. The extension end of the second cylinder 63 passes through the third mounting base 60 and is connected to the second push rod 64. The second push rod 64 is made of 45 steel with a chrome-plated surface for rust prevention and is inserted into the second insertion hole 62 to achieve locking. Multiple buffer blocks 65 facing the feed rack 1 are fixedly connected below the frame 2. The buffer blocks 65 are made of polyurethane and absorb impact when the feed rack 1 enters the frame 2 to prevent deformation caused by rigid collision between the feed rack 1 and the frame 2. After the feeding rack 1 is pushed into the machine frame 2 along the front guide rail, the buffer block 65 first contacts the feeding rack 1 to absorb the impact force during the pushing process. Once the feeding rack 1 reaches the preset position, the second push rod 64 aligns with the second insertion hole 62, the second cylinder 63 is activated, and the telescopic end extends, driving the second push rod 64 to insert into the second insertion hole 62 of the mating block 61 to a depth of 25-30mm. This rigidly fixes the feeding rack 1 to the machine frame 2, preventing lateral or longitudinal displacement of the feeding rack 1 during material handling and ensuring the accuracy of the material handling action. Figure 1 and Figure 6 As shown, the frame 2 has multiple fourth mounting seats 23 on both sides, welded to the side of the frame 2, with a height adapted to the feed end of the production line; a third cylinder 24 is provided on the fourth mounting seat 23, and the third cylinder 24 drives the third push rod 26 to rise and fall; a moving plate 25 is fixedly connected to the telescopic end of the third cylinder 24, and the third push rod 26 is symmetrically arranged below the moving plate 25. The third push rod 26 is made of No. 45 steel, with a chrome-plated surface for rust prevention, and its height is precisely adapted to the height of the feed end of the production line; multiple third insertion holes 27 are provided on both sides of the material plate 4. The third insertion holes 27 are round holes and are clearance-fitted with the third push rod 26. When the lifting mechanism 5 adjusts the height of the lifting frame 6 to align with the feed end of the production line, the third cylinder 24 is activated, and the telescopic end extends to drive the moving plate 25 to descend, so that the third push rod 26 is inserted into the third insertion hole 27 on both sides of the material plate 4. Through the matching and positioning of the third push rod 26 and the third insertion hole 27, the height deviation between the lifting frame 6 and the feed end of the production line is confirmed and corrected again, ensuring that the height of the material plate 4 is fully matched when it is delivered to the production line, avoiding the material plate 4 from getting stuck at the entrance of the production line due to the height deviation, and ensuring smooth material supply.

[0018] Working principle: The material plate 4 containing the FCC product to be processed is placed sequentially on each of the feeding layers 3 of the feeding rack 1, and the feeding rack 1 is pushed into the front end of the frame 2. During the entry of the feeding rack 1, the buffer block 65 under the frame 2 first contacts the feeding rack 1 to absorb the impact. After the feeding rack 1 reaches the preset position, the second cylinder 63 of the locking mechanism 19 is activated, driving the second push rod 64 to extend and insert into the second insertion hole 62 of the feeding rack 1 mating block 61, so as to realize the stable fixation of the feeding rack 1 and the frame 2 and prevent the feeding rack 1 from shifting during subsequent material retrieval.

[0019] When picking up materials, the lifting mechanism 5 is activated: the second motor 102 drives the second worm gear reducer 101 to operate, and the output end of the reducer drives the second connecting shaft 103 to rotate. The third sprocket 110 on the second connecting shaft 103 drives the fourth sprocket 111 on the third connecting shaft 105 to rotate through the second chain 112, so that the third connecting shaft 105 rotates on the second mounting base 104. The first sprockets 106 at both ends of the third connecting shaft 105 rotate with it, and drive the connecting block 109 to rise and fall through the first chain 108 that cooperates with the second sprocket 107 below the frame 2. This causes the lifting frame 6 connected to the connecting block 109 to move in the vertical direction until the height of the lifting frame 6 is aligned with the material layer 3 to be picked up.

[0020] Subsequently, the drive mechanism 17 drives the transverse plate 10 to slide along the first guide rail 8, causing the first push rod 14 at the front end of the transverse plate 10 to move directly above the first insertion hole 15 behind the material plate 4; the first cylinder 11 is activated, and the telescopic end drives the first connecting plate 12 to rise, causing the first push rod 14 to slide along the sleeve 13 and insert into the first insertion hole 15; the drive mechanism 17 operates in the reverse direction, driving the transverse plate 10 to drag the material plate 4 from the feeding layer 3 into the lifting frame 6, and at the same time, the auxiliary moving mechanism 18 is activated, the first motor 54 drives the first worm gear reducer 50 to operate, and drives the first synchronous wheels 51 on both sides of the lifting frame 6 to rotate through the first connecting shaft 53. The first synchronous wheels 51 drive the second synchronous wheels 52 to rotate through the conveyor chain 55. Since the upper surface of the conveyor chain 55 is higher than the lifting frame 6, when the conveyor chain 55 rotates, it drives the material plate 4 to move smoothly along the feeding direction through friction, reducing the load on the drive mechanism 17.

[0021] When the material plate 4 needs to be transported to the production line, the lifting mechanism 5 readjusts the height of the lifting frame 6 to align it with the receiving end of the production line; the third cylinder 24 on the fourth mounting base 23 on both sides of the frame 2 is activated, driving the moving plate 25 to descend, so that the third push rod 26 is inserted into the third insertion hole 27 on both sides of the material plate 4, confirming that the height of the lifting frame 6 is fully adapted to the receiving end of the production line; then, the auxiliary moving mechanism 18 and the driving mechanism 17 work together to smoothly transport the material plate 4 to the receiving end of the production line, completing the feeding of the FCC product to be processed.

[0022] After the flexible copper-clad laminate (FCC) on the material board 4 is processed and removed, the production line sends out the empty material board 4. The lifting mechanism 5 adjusts the height of the lifting frame 6 to align with the output end of the production line. The first push rod 14 at the rear end of the transverse plate 10 is inserted into the first insertion hole 15 at the front end of the empty material board 4 under the cooperation of the drive mechanism 17 and the first cylinder 11. The material board 4 is dragged back to the lifting frame 6 in reverse order of the material removal steps. The lifting mechanism 5 adjusts the height of the lifting frame 6 to align with the empty material layer 3 of the feeding rack 1, and then sends the empty material board 4 back to the feeding rack 1, realizing the bidirectional circulation transportation of the material board 4.
