[0002] With the rapid development of integrated circuits, the production and assembly of electronic devices extensively utilize machines such as Surface Mount Technology (SMT) to place various electronic components onto circuit boards. Currently, production line operators load materials onto feeders and place the loaded feeders on feeder racks for production line operators to retrieve from the feeder racks for use by the machines.

[0003] As circuit board designs on production lines increasingly prioritize high density and precision, the number and variety of components required by the machines are also growing. This results in a correspondingly large number and variety of feeders placed on the feeder rack. Consequently, when a machine on the production line runs out of material, operators must spend considerable time and effort traveling back and forth between the machine and the feeder rack to retrieve the necessary feeders and load them into the machine's slot. However, the lack of sufficient manpower on the production line often prolongs the time when machines are out of material, significantly impacting production efficiency.

[0004] In view of this, how to reduce the time when production line machines are out of material in order to improve production efficiency has become a technical issue that the industry urgently needs to challenge and overcome. Summary of the Invention

Then, the control module 14 instructs the power module 13 to provide power to the feeder tail dragging module 12, causing the feeder tail to drag. Module 12 drags the feeder 3, causing the feeder belly 32 to protrude from the machine inlet 21. At this time, the machine inlet track 23 can provide support for the feeder head 31. Then, the control module 14 commands the power source of the feeder belly dragging module 11 to provide power, causing the feeder belly dragging module clamping member 111 to move to the position corresponding to the feeder belly clamping member 34. Afterward, the control module 14 commands the power module 13 to provide power to the feeder belly dragging module 11, so that the feeder... The feeder belly dragging module clamping member 111 clamps the feeder belly clamping member 34. Then, the control module 14 instructs the power module 13 to provide power to the feeder belly dragging module 11, causing the feeder belly dragging module 11 to drag the feeder 3, allowing the feeder head 31 to leave the machine inlet space 22 through the machine inlet 21, thereby unloading the feeder 3 from the machine 2, or even moving the feeder 3 to the feeder rack 4 to place the feeder 3 in the feeder placement area 41. It should be noted that in this application, the feeder loading and unloading equipment 1 can be selected as an automated equipment, so that the feeder loading and unloading equipment 1 can automatically unload the feeder 3 from the machine 2, thereby reducing the dependence of the production line on operators for loading and unloading feeders on the machine, thereby reducing the time when the production line is short of materials and improving production efficiency.

[0081] It should be noted that, in the above embodiments, during the process of removing the feeder 3 from the machine base 2, after the feeder belly dragging module clamping member 111 clamps the feeder belly clamping member 34, the feeder belly dragging module 11 can drag the feeder 3. Therefore, the control module 14 can select to enable the power module 13 to provide power to the feeder tail dragging module 12, so that the feeder tail dragging module clamping member 121 releases the feeder tail clamping member 35, and the feeder tail dragging module actuation member 122 stops actuating the feeder positioning function start / stop structure 37.

[0082] However, this should not be limited to the above. During the process of removing the feeder 3 from the machine 2, after the feeder belly dragging module clamping member 111 clamps the feeder belly clamping member 34, the control module 14 can also select to allow the power module 13 to provide power to the feeder tail dragging module 12, so that the feeder tail dragging module 12 and the feeder belly dragging module 11 can drag the feeder 3 together without the feeder tail dragging module 12 interfering with the feeder belly dragging module 11 dragging the feeder 3.

[0083] Regarding the power module 13, in Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 5 , Figures 7 to 8 and Figure 10 In the illustrated embodiment, the power module 13 includes a first transmission member 131 and a second transmission member 132 capable of providing power transmission. The feeder tail towing module 12 further includes a feeder tail towing module scissor leg member 123. The first transmission member 131 can assemble the feeder belly towing module 11, enabling the first transmission member 131 to provide power to the feeder belly towing module 11. The second transmission member 132 can assemble the feeder tail towing module 12, enabling the second transmission member 132 to provide power to the feeder tail towing module 12 (including the feeder tail towing module scissor leg member 123), allowing the feeder tail towing module scissor leg member 123 to be in either a feeder tail towing module scissor leg member clamped state or a feeder tail towing module scissor leg member unclamped state.

[0084] It should be noted that during the process of the feeder tail drag module clamping member 121 clamping the feeder tail clamping member 35, the feeder tail drag module scissor leg member 123 is in the clamping state, enabling the feeder tail drag module scissor leg member 123 to drive the feeder tail drag module clamping member 121 to clamp the feeder tail clamping member 35. Furthermore, during the process of the feeder tail drag module clamping member 121 releasing the feeder tail clamping member 35, the feeder tail drag module scissor leg member 123 is in the non-clamping state, enabling the feeder tail drag module scissor leg member 123 to drive the feeder tail drag module clamping member 121 to release the feeder tail clamping member 35.

[0085] Regarding the actuator 122 of the feeder tail drag module, in Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 5 , Figures 7 to 8 and Figure 10 In the illustrated embodiment, the actuating component 122 of the feeder tail dragging module includes an actuating component body 1220, an actuating component hook structure 1221, and an actuating component elastic structure 1222. The actuating component hook structure 1221 is rotatable relative to the actuating component body 1220, allowing the actuating component hook structure 1221 to be in an actuated state or a non-actuated state.

[0086] As can be explained, during the process of the feeder positioning function start / stop structure 37 being actuated by the actuating component 122 of the feeder tail dragging module, the second transmission component 132 can provide power to the actuating component body 1220, so that the actuating component hook structure 1221 can provide a pushing force to the feeder positioning function start / stop structure 37. Correspondingly, the feeder positioning function start / stop structure 37 can provide a counter-pushing force to the actuating component hook structure 1221. The counter-pushing force can resist the pushing force and keep the actuating component hook structure 1221 in the actuating component hook structure actuated state, so that the actuating component hook structure 1221 can hook the feeder positioning function start / stop structure 37, thereby actuating the feeder positioning function start / stop structure 37. In addition, during the process of the feeder tail drag module actuation member 122 stopping the actuation of the feeder positioning function start / stop structure 37, the actuation member elastic structure 1222 can provide elastic force to force the actuation member hook structure 1221 to be in the actuation member hook structure non-actuated state.

[0087] At Figures 1 to 2 and Figure 10In the embodiment shown, when the actuating member hook structure 1221 is in the non-actuated state, the actuating member hook structure 1221 intersects the actuating member body 1220 substantially perpendicularly.

[0088] Regarding the actuator 122 of the feeder tail drag module, in Figures 1 to 5 , Figure 8 and Figure 10 In the illustrated embodiment, the actuator 122 of the feeder tail drag module further includes an actuator transmission seat 1223. The actuator transmission seat 1223 includes a transmission seat engagement structure 12231, a transmission seat moving structure 12232, and a transmission seat elastic structure 12233. The actuator body 1220 is disposed on the transmission seat moving structure 12232. The transmission seat engagement structure 12231 engages with the second transmission member 132, enabling the second transmission member 132 to provide power to the actuator body 1220 through the actuator transmission seat 1223.

[0089] As can be explained, when the counter-pushing force provided by the feeder positioning function start / stop structure 37 to the actuating member hook structure 1221 is greater than expected, it means that the pushing force provided by the actuating member hook structure 1221 to the feeder positioning function start / stop structure 37 is greater than expected. At this time, the counter-pushing force can force the transmission seat moving structure 12232 to move relative to the transmission seat engaging structure 12231, causing the transmission seat moving structure 12232 to leave the initial position P1 of the transmission seat moving structure. This allows the actuating member body 1220 to drive the actuating member hook structure 1221, thereby adjusting the pushing force provided by the actuating member hook structure 1221 to the feeder positioning function start / stop structure 37, and further adjusting the counter-pushing force provided by the feeder positioning function start / stop structure 37 to the actuating member hook structure 1221. Additionally, when the counter-pushing force provided by the feeder positioning function start / stop structure 37 to the actuating member hook structure 1221 is less than expected, it means that the pushing force provided by the actuating member hook structure 1221 to the feeder positioning function start / stop structure 37 is less than expected. At this time, the transmission seat elastic structure 12233 can provide elastic force to the transmission seat moving structure 12232, so that the transmission seat moving structure 12232 returns to the initial position P1 of the transmission seat moving structure.

[0090] Regarding the feeder tail drag module clamping member 121, in Figures 1 to 3 , Figure 5 , Figures 7 to 8 and Figures 10 to 11In the illustrated embodiment, the feeder tail drag module clamping member 121 includes a first feeder tail drag module clamping sub-member 1211 and a second feeder tail drag module clamping sub-member 1212. The feeder tail clamping member 35 is clamped by the feeder tail drag module clamping member 121. The first feeder tail drag module clamping sub-member 1211 and the second feeder tail drag module clamping sub-member 1212 are respectively located on both sides of the feeder tail clamping member 35. The first feeder tail drag module clamping sub-member 1211 and the second feeder tail drag module clamping sub-member 1212 are sheet-like members. Correspondingly, the feeder tail clamping member 35 is a sheet-like member.

[0091] It should be noted that, in the above embodiments, some of the aforementioned components can be omitted. For example, in this application, the feeder can optionally include: a feeder body, a feeder head, a feeder belly, a feeder tail, a feeder belly clamping member, a feeder tail clamping member, a feeder positioning structure, and a feeder positioning function start / stop structure. The feeder head and feeder tail are located at the head and tail ends of the feeder body, respectively. The feeder belly is located at the belly of the feeder body. The feeder belly clamping member is located at the belly of the feeder, and the feeder tail clamping member is located at the tail of the feeder. The feeder positioning function start / stop structure can be in the feeder positioning function on state, so that the feeder positioning structure is in the positioning state. The feeder positioning function start / stop structure can also be in the feeder positioning function off state, so that the feeder positioning structure is stopped in the positioning state. During the process of loading the feeder into the machine tool, the feeder belly dragging module clamps the feeder belly clamping member, and then the feeder... The feeder tail drag module clamps the feeder tail clamping component, and the feeder tail drag module actuates the feeder positioning function start / stop structure, putting the feeder positioning function start / stop structure into the feeder positioning function stop state, thereby stopping the feeder positioning structure in the positioning state. Next, the feeder belly drag module and the feeder tail drag module drag the feeder, allowing the feeder head to pass through the machine inlet to the machine feed track. At this time, the machine feed track provides support for the feeder head. Then, the feeder belly drag module releases the feeder belly clamping component, and then the feeder tail drag module drags the feeder. The feeder's underside is inserted into the machine's feed inlet, and then the feeder head is inserted into the machine's feed space. Next, the feeder's tail-end dragging module releases its gripper from the feeder's tail-end clamping component, and stops actuating the feeder positioning function's start / stop mechanism, leaving the feeder positioning function in the "on" state. This puts the feeder positioning structure in the "positioned" state. At this point, the feeder positioning structure, in conjunction with the machine's positioning structure, positions the feeder head within the machine's feed space. During the process of removing the feeder from the machine, the feeder's tail-end dragging module grips the feeder's tail-end clamping component, and the feeder... The tail-end dragging module actuates the feeder positioning function start / stop structure, putting the feeder positioning function start / stop structure into the feeder positioning function stop state, thereby stopping the feeder positioning structure in the positioning state. At this time, the feeder positioning structure is disengaged from the machine positioning structure, allowing the feeder tail-end dragging module to drag the feeder, allowing the feeder belly to leave the machine inlet. At this time, the machine inlet track can provide support for the feeder head. Then, the feeder belly dragging module clamps the feeder belly clamping component, allowing the feeder belly dragging module to drag the feeder, allowing the feeder head to leave the machine inlet space through the machine inlet.

[0092] Additionally, the feeder loading and unloading equipment can optionally include: a feeder belly towing module, a feeder tail towing module, a power module, and a control module. The feeder belly towing module includes a feeder belly towing module clamping member. The feeder tail towing module includes a feeder tail towing module clamping member and a feeder tail towing module actuation member. The power module can provide power to both the feeder belly towing module and the feeder tail towing module. During the process of loading the feeder into the machine, the control module instructs the power module to provide power to the feeder belly towing module, causing the feeder belly towing module clamping member to move to the position of the corresponding feeder belly clamping member. Then, the control module instructs the power module to provide power to the feeder belly towing module, causing the feeder belly towing module clamping member. Finally, the control module instructs the power module to provide power to the feeder tail towing module, causing... The feeder tail drag module clamping component moves to the position of the corresponding feeder tail clamping component. Then, the control module instructs the power module to provide power to the feeder tail drag module, causing the feeder tail drag module clamping component to clamp the feeder tail clamping component. Simultaneously, the feeder tail drag module actuating component activates the feeder positioning function start / stop structure, placing it in the feeder positioning function stop state. This keeps the feeder positioning structure in a stopped position. Next, the control module instructs the power module to power the feeder belly drag module and the feeder tail drag module. The traction module provides power, causing the feeder's belly traction module and the feeder's tail traction module to drag the feeder, allowing the feeder head to pass through the machine's inlet and reach the machine's feed track. At this time, the machine's feed track provides support for the feeder head. Then, the control module instructs the power module to provide power to the feeder's belly traction module, causing the feeder's belly traction module's clamping member to release from its grip. Next, the control module instructs the power module to provide power to the feeder's tail traction module, causing the feeder's tail traction module to drag the feeder, allowing the feeder's belly to enter the machine's feed track. The feeder head is inserted into the machine's feed inlet, allowing it to enter the machine's feed space. Then, the control module instructs the power module to provide power to the feeder's tail dragging module, causing the feeder's tail dragging module's clamping component to release its grip, and stopping the feeder's tail dragging module's actuating component from activating the feeder's positioning function start / stop structure. This puts the feeder's positioning function start / stop structure in the feeder positioning function active state, thus putting the feeder positioning structure in the positioning state. At this time, the feeder positioning structure, in conjunction with the machine's positioning structure, positions the feeder in the machine's feed space.During the process of removing the feeder from the machine, the control module instructs the power module to provide power to the feeder tail drag module, causing the feeder tail drag module clamping component to move to the position of the corresponding feeder tail clamping component. Then, the control module instructs the power module to provide power to the feeder tail drag module, causing the feeder tail drag module clamping component and actuating the feeder positioning function start / stop structure. This puts the feeder positioning function start / stop structure in the feeder positioning function stop state, thus stopping the feeder positioning structure in the positioning state. At this point, the feeder positioning structure is disengaged from the machine positioning structure. Finally, the control module instructs the power module to provide power to the feeder tail drag module. The tail-end towing module provides power, causing it to drag the feeder, allowing the feeder's belly to leave the machine's inlet. At this time, the machine's feed rail provides support for the feeder's head. Next, the control module instructs the power source of the feeder's belly towing module to move its clamping component to the corresponding position. Then, the control module instructs the power module to provide power to the feeder's belly towing module, causing its clamping component to grip the feeder's belly clamping component. Finally, the control module instructs the power module to provide power to the feeder's belly towing module, causing it to drag the feeder, allowing the feeder's head to leave the machine's feed space through the inlet.

[0093] In summary, the feeder loading and unloading equipment and feeder provided in this application are compatible with a machine and can tow the feeder to load the feeder into or unload the feeder from the machine. In addition, the feeder loading and unloading equipment allows the feeder to move relative to the machine for automated loading and unloading. This reduces the reliance of the production line on operators for loading and unloading feeders on the machine, thereby reducing the time when the production line is short of materials and improving production efficiency.
