[0026] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and should not be construed as limiting the present invention.

[0027] The embodiments of the present invention will now be described.

[0028] Please see Figures 1-6 The system includes a base 1, a fixed plate 2 mounted on the top of the base 1, a first motor 3 mounted inside the fixed plate 2, a turntable 4 fixed to the output end of the first motor 3, multiple mounting brackets 5 mounted on the top of the turntable 4, multiple placement slots 51 opened inside the mounting brackets 5, a lifting component movably mounted inside the mounting brackets 5, a fixed plate 6 fixed to one side of the fixed plate 2, a cylinder 61 mounted on the top of the fixed plate 6, a connecting plate 7 fixed to the output end of the cylinder 61, a clamping rod 71 fixed to one side of the connecting plate 7, a printing plate 8 mounted on the outer wall of the clamping rod 71 by bolts, a second motor 9 mounted on the top of the connecting plate 7, a lead screw 91 mounted on the output end of the second motor 9, a movable plate 81 movably mounted inside the printing plate 8, and a scraper 82 movably mounted on the bottom of the movable plate 81.

[0029] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figures 1-4The lifting assembly includes a lifting plate 54 and a horizontal plate 55. The horizontal plate 55 is fixed at both ends of the lifting plate 54, and a vertical rod 56 is fixed at the bottom of the lifting plate 54. A roller 58 is installed at the end of the vertical rod 56. A lifting block 22 is fixed at the top of the fixed plate 2, and the lifting block 22 has inclined surfaces on both sides. During the rotation of the turntable 4, the roller 58 contacts the inclined surface on one side of the lifting block 22, thereby moving the roller 58 upward. When the roller 58 moves upward, it will drive the lifting plate 54 to move upward. The lifting plate 54 drives the horizontal plate 55 to move upward, pushing out the printing plate inside the placement slot 51, which is then removed by personnel.

[0030] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 and Figure 4 Limiting rods 57 are fixed at both ends of the lifting plate 54. The mounting bracket 5 has through holes 53 inside. By the limiting rods 57 cooperating with the through holes 53, the movement direction of the lifting plate 54 is limited, thus preventing the lifting plate 54 from rotating.

[0031] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 3 The bottom of the inner wall of the placement groove 51 is provided with a groove 52, which can be used to store the lifting plate 54, so that the top of the lifting plate 54 fits with the bottom of the inner wall of the placement groove, making it convenient to lift the circuit board.

[0032] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 6 Limiting posts 83 are fixed on both sides of the scraper 82. Horizontal grooves 84 are formed on both sides of the inner wall of the printed circuit board 8, and inclined grooves 87 and moving grooves 85 are formed on both sides of the inner wall of the printed circuit board 8. A rotating rod 86 is movably installed on the inner wall of the inclined groove 87. When the lead screw 91 rotates, it drives the moving plate 81 to move above the printed circuit board 8. The movement of the moving plate 81 drives the scraper 82 to move. When the scraper 82 moves, it prints the solder paste above the printed circuit board 8 onto the circuit board. Then, when the scraper 82... When the limiting post 83 on one side contacts the rotating rod 86, the scraper 82 will move upward under the action of the rotating rod 86. When the limiting post 83 moves into the moving groove 85, the scraper 82 separates from the top of the printing plate 8. Then the limiting post 83 continues to move on the inner wall of the moving groove 85. When it moves to the other side of the inner wall of the moving groove 85, the scraper 82 will move downward under its own weight until it fits against the top of the printing plate 8. The limiting post 83 moves into the transverse groove 84.

[0033] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 1 The top of the fixed plate 2 is equipped with multiple sets of support wheels 21, and the support wheels 21 are in contact with the bottom of the turntable 4. By setting the support wheels 21 to contact the bottom of the turntable 4, the problem of the turntable 4 being easily deformed during printing is avoided.

[0034] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 There are three sets of mounting frames 5, which are evenly distributed on the top of the turntable 4. By setting multiple sets of mounting frames 5, the printing efficiency can be improved without stopping the equipment. The area is divided into a feeding area, a printing area and a unloading area.

[0035] For details regarding the above embodiments, please refer to [link / reference]. Figure 2 Two sets of limiting rods 62 are fixed to the top of the fixed plate 6, and the limiting rods 62 are set through the connecting plate 7. The limiting rods 62 can limit the connecting plate 7, so that the connecting plate 7 can only slide on its outer wall.

[0036] The preparation process for solder paste printing for mini-LEDs includes the following steps: S1. Place solder paste on top of the printed circuit board, then place the printed circuit board into the placement slot, and then start the first motor; S2. The first motor drives the turntable to rotate 120 degrees, and then the first motor stops. After the first motor stops working, the cylinder drives the printed circuit board to move downward, so that the printed circuit board is in contact with the circuit board. S3. The second motor drives the scraper to move. When the scraper moves, it scrapes the solder paste so that the solder paste is printed on the top of the circuit board. Then the scraper moves upward without contacting the solder paste. The scraper moves to the back of the solder paste. After printing is completed, the cylinder drives the printed circuit board to reset. S4. The turntable then continues to rotate, lifting the circuit board inside the placement slot, making it easier for personnel to pick up and place the new circuit board into the placement slot.

[0037] In practical operation, this invention works as follows: Multiple circuit boards are placed inside the placement slot. Then, the first motor 3 is started, which drives the turntable 4 to rotate. As the turntable 4 rotates, the mounting bracket 5 rotates as well. The turntable 4 slowly rotates 120 degrees and then stops. Next, cylinder 61 is activated, which moves the printed circuit board 8 closer to the circuit board until it is in contact with it. Then, the second motor 9 is started, which drives the lead screw 91 to rotate. According to the lead screw principle, the rotation of the lead screw 91 moves the moving plate 81 above the printed circuit board 8. The movement of the moving plate 81 moves the scraper 82, which scrapes... When board 82 moves, it prints solder paste from the printed circuit board 8 onto the circuit board. Then, when the limiting post 83 on one side of scraper 82 contacts the rotating rod 86, scraper 82 moves upward under the action of rotating rod 86. When the limiting post 83 moves into the moving groove 85, scraper 82 separates from the top of printed circuit board 8. Then the limiting post 83 continues to move on the inner wall of moving groove 85. When it moves to the other side of the inner wall of moving groove 85, scraper 82 moves downward under its own weight until it is in contact with the top of printed circuit board 8. The limiting post 83 moves into the transverse groove 84, and then the second motor 9 stops working. After printing is completed, cylinder 61 drives the printing plate 8 to move upward, moving it away from the circuit board. Then, the first motor 3 is started, and the first motor 3 continues to drive the turntable 4 to rotate 120°. During the rotation of the turntable 4, the roller 58 contacts the inclined surface on one side of the lifting block 22, thereby moving the roller 58 upward. When the roller 58 moves upward, it drives the lifting plate 54 to move upward. The lifting plate 54 drives the horizontal plate 55 to move upward, pushing the printing plate inside the placement slot 51 out. Then, the personnel remove it. When the turntable 4 continues to rotate, under the action of gravity, the lifting plate falls into the groove 52, and a new circuit board is placed inside it.
