Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of material carrier technology, specifically to a sheet material carrier and a method for placing sheet materials. Background Technology

[0002] In industrial production, the setup of production processes often necessitates the transfer, storage, or temporary storage of sheet materials. Because some sheet materials have other components or materials attached to them, they cannot be stacked; therefore, multi-layer material carriers are typically used for storage. These storage carriers only have support members on both sides. To prevent the sheet materials from slipping and to ensure they can rest on the two support members, the spacing between the two support members must be matched to the width of the sheet materials, making it inconvenient to place the sheet materials into the carrier using a robotic arm. Summary of the Invention

[0003] To address the technical problem that existing sheet material carriers are not convenient for storage by robotic arms, this invention provides a sheet material carrier and a sheet material placement method, which can correct the material movement trajectory so that the material can smoothly enter the carrier within a certain offset range, making it convenient for the sheet material to be stored in the carrier by a robotic arm.

[0004] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0005] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a sheet material carrier, comprising: a carrier frame, wherein at least one side of the carrier frame has a material placement opening; a support frame, wherein the support frame is disposed within the carrier frame and includes two opposing support members, the two support members being spaced apart, the two support members being respectively used to support the corresponding side of the sheet material, and the support frame having multiple layers arranged vertically at intervals; and a material guiding assembly, wherein the material guiding assembly includes multiple sets of material guiding rollers, the multiple sets of material guiding rollers being spaced apart at the material placement opening along the feeding direction of the carrier frame, and the spacing between the multiple sets of material guiding rollers gradually decreasing along the feeding direction of the material placement opening; wherein each of the material guiding rollers is arranged vertically, each of the material guiding rollers is capable of rotating along its own axis under the frictional drive of the sheet material, and the inner spacing of the set of material guiding rollers directly opposite the carrier frame is smaller than the opening of the material placement opening.

[0006] It should be noted that for sheet materials that cannot be stacked, a multi-axis robotic arm is used for transfer and placement within the carrier. During normal transfer, the robotic arm is positioned in the center of the carrier when picking up or placing sheet materials, ensuring that the sheet materials do not touch the sides of the carrier and can be smoothly placed inside.

[0007] However, due to transmission accuracy issues, the robotic arm's material feeding accuracy and repeatability are poor, making it impossible to ensure that materials are accurately placed in the designated carrier position every time. Furthermore, due to its randomness, it is not easy to restore it to a normal range through simple robotic arm correction. When the position of the sheet material shifts irregularly, the leading corner of the sheet material may collide with the carrier, causing the sheet material to shift or even fall off the robotic arm and be damaged.

[0008] The sheet material carrier provided by the present invention includes a carrier frame, a support frame, and a material guiding assembly. The carrier frame has a material placement opening on at least one side so that sheet materials can be placed into the carrier frame. The support frame is disposed in the carrier frame and includes two oppositely arranged support members. The two support members are spaced apart so that they support the corresponding side of the sheet material, thereby placing the sheet material in the carrier frame. The support frame is vertically spaced in multiple layers to store multiple sheet materials at the same time, thus meeting the storage requirements of sheet materials.

[0009] The material guiding assembly includes multiple sets of guide rollers, which are spaced apart at the material placement opening along the feeding direction of the carrier frame. The spacing between the guide rollers gradually decreases along the feeding direction of the material placement opening. Each guide roller is vertically arranged and can rotate along its own axis under the frictional drive of the sheet material. When the material passes through the gaps between the guide rollers, the guide rollers can correct the movement trajectory of the sheet material, allowing sheet material within a certain offset range to smoothly enter the carrier. Specifically:

[0010] If the sheet material does not shift, it can directly enter the carrier frame. If the sheet material shifts, its sidewall will first contact the outer guide roller. As the sheet material continues to move, it will cause the outer guide roller to rotate along its own axis, thus avoiding damage to the sheet material. At the same time, the rotation of the outer guide roller will cause the sheet material to move towards the inner guide roller. Finally, the sheet material will enter the carrier frame through a set of guide rollers facing the carrier frame, ensuring that sheet materials within a certain offset range can smoothly enter the carrier.

[0011] Furthermore, the inner spacing of the set of guide rollers facing the carrier frame is smaller than the opening of the material placement port. This ensures that when the sheet material enters the carrier frame, there is a certain gap between it and the carrier frame, preventing the sheet material from colliding with the side walls of the carrier frame and causing it to fall and be damaged. Moreover, the guide assembly enlarges the feed opening of the carrier frame, providing sufficient margin when the material is placed into the carrier to cover positional errors during the sheet material conveying process.

[0012] In summary, the sheet material carrier provided by this invention can correct the material movement trajectory, so that the material can smoothly enter the carrier within a certain offset range, making it convenient for the sheet material to be stored in the carrier by a robotic arm.

[0013] In one optional embodiment of this application, two sets of guide rollers are provided along the feeding direction of the carrier frame to simplify the structure of the guide assembly while forming a progressive guide opening.

[0014] In one optional embodiment of this application, the diameters of the two sets of guide rollers are successively reduced along the feeding direction of the carrier frame, so as to form a progressive guide opening in the feeding section of the carrier frame.

[0015] In one optional embodiment of this application, along the height direction of the carrier frame, each component's guide roller includes multiple vertically spaced rollers, and each support frame's feed end is provided with a corresponding roller, so that when placing sheet material, the sheet material only drives the corresponding roller to rotate, thereby reducing the resistance of the sheet material entering the carrier frame.

[0016] In one optional embodiment of this application, a plurality of positioning rollers are further included, each of which is correspondingly arranged with respect to the support member. Each positioning roller is arranged along the feeding direction of the carrier frame. Along the height direction of the carrier frame, the upper side of each positioning roller is higher than the upper side of the corresponding support member, and each positioning roller can rotate along its own axis under the friction drive of the sheet material.

[0017] Therefore, when the sheet material does not enter the carrier frame in the set position, the horizontal side of the sheet material rests on the upper side of the corresponding positioning roller. When the robotic arm retracts, the sheet material moves downward under its own weight and drives the positioning roller to rotate inward, thereby causing the sheet material to slide inward. This ensures that the sheet material is placed in the carrier frame in the set position, preventing the sheet material from slipping off the robotic arm when it is subsequently removed.

[0018] In one optional embodiment of this application, each positioning roller includes multiple longitudinally spaced rollers along the feeding direction of the carrier frame, so as to reduce the resistance to rotation of the positioning roller.

[0019] In one optional embodiment of this application, each of the positioning rollers is rotatably connected to the carrier frame to facilitate the installation of the positioning rollers.

[0020] In one optional embodiment of this application, the support member includes: an anti-slip structure, which is disposed opposite to the side wall of the carrier frame and prevents the sheet material from sliding laterally on the support member; and a sliding structure, which is connected to the side of the anti-slip structure away from the side wall of the carrier frame and allows the sheet material to slide laterally.

[0021] Since the anti-slip structure is set directly against the side wall of the carrier frame, and the sliding structure is connected to the side of the anti-slip structure away from the side wall of the carrier frame, when one side of the sheet material abuts against the positioning roller, the other side of the sheet material abuts against the sliding structure, ensuring that the sheet material can quickly slide towards the corresponding anti-slip structure under its own gravity, and finally stop and limit the movement through the anti-slip structure, so that the sheet material is placed within the set position range.

[0022] In one optional embodiment of this application, both the anti-slip structure and the sliding structure are elongated strip structures to ensure that the anti-slip structure and the sliding structure can play their respective roles.

[0023] Secondly, the present invention provides a method for placing sheet material, based on the above-mentioned sheet material carrier, comprising the following steps:

[0024] The sheet material is delivered to the material placement port of the carrier frame by a robotic arm;

[0025] The robotic arm continues to feed sheet material into the carrier frame, and the material guiding component guides the sheet material so that the sheet material completely enters the support frame above the corresponding structure inside the carrier frame.

[0026] The lowering robotic arm allows the sheet material to be placed on the corresponding support frame;

[0027] Remove the robotic arm from the vehicle frame.

[0028] The sheet material placement method provided by the present invention, based on the aforementioned sheet material carrier, firstly uses a robotic arm to deliver the sheet material to the material placement port of the carrier frame, then uses the robotic arm to continue conveying the sheet material into the carrier frame, and the material guiding component guides the sheet material so that the sheet material completely enters the corresponding support frame inside the carrier frame, then the robotic arm is moved down to place the sheet material on the corresponding support frame, and finally the robotic arm is removed from the carrier frame, thereby completing the storage of the sheet material.

[0029] The sheet material enters the carrier frame via a set of guide rollers facing the frame, ensuring that sheet material within a certain offset range can smoothly enter the carrier. The inner spacing of the guide rollers facing the frame is smaller than the opening of the material placement port, creating a gap between the sheet material and the carrier frame as it enters, preventing the sheet material from colliding with the side walls of the frame and falling and getting damaged.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0031] 1. The sheet material carrier provided by the present invention includes a carrier frame, a support frame, and a material guiding assembly. The carrier frame has a material placement opening on at least one side so that sheet materials can be placed into the carrier frame. The support frame is disposed in the carrier frame and includes two oppositely disposed support members. The two support members are spaced apart so that the two support members support the corresponding side of the sheet material respectively, thereby placing the sheet material in the carrier frame. The support frame is vertically spaced in multiple layers to store multiple sheet materials at the same time, thus meeting the storage requirements of sheet materials.

[0032] 2. The sheet material carrier provided by the present invention includes a material guiding component comprising multiple sets of guiding rollers. The multiple sets of guiding rollers are spaced apart at the material placement opening along the feeding direction of the carrier frame, and the spacing between the multiple sets of guiding rollers gradually decreases along the feeding direction of the material placement opening. Each guiding roller is vertically arranged, and each guiding roller can rotate along its own axis under the friction drive of the sheet material. When the material passes through the gap between the guiding rollers, the movement trajectory of the sheet material can be corrected by the guiding rollers, so that the sheet material within a certain offset range can smoothly enter the interior of the carrier.

[0033] 3. The sheet material carrier provided by the present invention has a set of guide rollers facing the carrier frame with an inner spacing smaller than the opening of the material placement port, so that when the sheet material enters the carrier frame, there is a certain gap between the sheet material and the carrier frame, which can prevent the sheet material from colliding with the side wall of the carrier frame and causing it to fall and be damaged.

[0034] 4. The sheet material carrier provided by the present invention expands the feed inlet of the carrier frame by setting a material guiding component, so that the material has sufficient margin when it is put into the carrier, which can cover the positional error in the sheet material conveying process.

[0035] 5. The sheet material placement method provided by the present invention, based on the above-mentioned sheet material carrier, firstly, a robotic arm delivers the sheet material to the material placement port of the carrier frame, then the robotic arm continues to convey the sheet material into the carrier frame, and the guiding component guides the sheet material so that the sheet material completely enters the corresponding support frame inside the carrier frame. Then, the robotic arm moves down to place the sheet material on the corresponding support frame, and finally the robotic arm is removed from the carrier frame, thereby completing the storage of the sheet material. This method can ensure that sheet materials within a certain offset range can smoothly enter the carrier, and when the sheet material enters the carrier frame, there is a certain gap between the sheet material and the carrier frame, which can prevent the sheet material from colliding with the side wall of the carrier frame and causing it to fall and be damaged.

[0057] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of this application clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. The components of the embodiments of this application described and shown in the accompanying drawings can generally be arranged and designed in various different configurations.

[0058] Therefore, the following detailed description of the embodiments of this application provided in the accompanying drawings is not intended to limit the scope of the claimed application, but merely to illustrate selected embodiments of the application. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of this application without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0059] It should be noted that similar labels and letters in the following figures indicate similar items. Therefore, once an item is defined in one figure, it does not need to be further defined and explained in subsequent figures.

[0060] In the description of this application, it should be noted that the terms "upper" and "lower" indicate the orientation or positional relationship based on the orientation or positional relationship shown in the accompanying drawings, or the orientation or positional relationship in which the product of this application is usually placed when in use. They are only for the convenience of describing this application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this application.

[0061] It should be noted that, where there is no conflict, different features in the embodiments of this application can be combined with each other.

[0062] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 It should be noted that for sheet materials 500 that cannot be stacked, a multi-axis robotic arm is used for transfer and placement within the carrier. During normal transfer, the robotic arm 600 is positioned in the middle of the carrier when picking up or placing sheet materials 500, ensuring that the sheet materials 500 do not touch the sides of the carrier and can be smoothly placed into it.

[0063] However, due to transmission accuracy issues, the material feeding accuracy and repeatability of the robot arm 600 are poor, making it impossible to ensure that materials are accurately placed in the designated carrier position every time. Furthermore, due to its randomness, it is not possible to simply correct the robot arm 600 to restore it to a normal range. Combined with… Figure 3 When the position of the sheet material 500 shifts irregularly, the front corner of the sheet material 500 may collide with the carrier, causing the sheet material 500 to shift or even fall off the robot arm 600 and be damaged; or, after the sheet material 500 enters the carrier, its sidewall may collide with the inner sidewall of the carrier. Figure 4 ).

[0064] To address the aforementioned problems, the inventors have innovatively designed the following technical solutions, which will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted that the deficiencies in the existing solutions are the result of the inventors' practical experience and careful research. Therefore, the discovery process of the aforementioned technical problems and the solutions proposed in the embodiments below are contributions made by the inventors to this application during the invention process, and should not be construed as technical content known to those skilled in the art.

[0065] Example 1

[0066] Combination Figure 5This embodiment provides a sheet material carrier, including: a carrier frame 100, wherein the carrier frame 100 has a material placement opening 110 on at least one side; a support frame 200, wherein the support frame 200 is disposed within the carrier frame 100, and the support frame 200 includes two opposing support members 210, the two support members 210 being spaced apart, and the two support members 210 respectively supporting the corresponding side of the sheet material 500, and the support frame 200 having multiple layers vertically spaced apart; and a material guiding assembly 300, wherein the material guiding assembly... The component 300 includes multiple sets of guide rollers 310, which are spaced apart at the material placement opening 110 along the feeding direction of the carrier frame 100. The spacing between the multiple sets of guide rollers 310 gradually decreases along the feeding direction of the material placement opening 110. Each guide roller 310 is vertically arranged and can rotate along its own axis under the friction drive of the sheet material 500. The inner spacing of the set of guide rollers 310 facing the carrier frame 100 is smaller than the opening of the material placement opening 110.

[0067] It should be understood that the existing carrier frame 100 is usually only open on one side, while the other sides are closed, in order to provide dust and water protection for the sheet material 500 placed inside the carrier frame 100. Of course, it is also possible to have openings on opposite sides of the carrier frame 100, so as to allow material to enter from one side of the carrier frame 100 and exit from the other side.

[0068] The support members 210 are respectively installed on the two side walls adjacent to the carrier frame 100 and the material placement port 110, and extend along the feeding direction of the material placement port 110. In this embodiment, the support members 210 are arranged longitudinally.

[0069] Combined again Figure 5 Along the feeding direction of the carrier frame 100, two sets of guide rollers 310 are provided to simplify the structure of the guide assembly 300 while forming a progressive guide opening.

[0070] In this embodiment, along the feeding direction of the carrier frame 100, the diameters of the two sets of guide rollers 310 are successively reduced to facilitate the formation of a progressive guide opening in the feeding section of the carrier frame 100.

[0071] Combination Figure 6 Along the height direction of the carrier frame 100, each component's guide roller 310 includes multiple vertically spaced rollers, and each of the support frames 200's feed ends is provided with corresponding rollers, so that when the sheet material 500 is placed, the sheet material 500 only drives the corresponding roller to rotate, thereby reducing the resistance of the sheet material 500 entering the carrier frame 100.

[0072] In summary, the sheet material carrier provided in this embodiment includes a carrier frame 100, a support frame 200, and a material guiding assembly 300. The carrier frame 100 has a material placement opening 110 on at least one side so that sheet material 500 can be placed inside the carrier frame 100. The support frame 200 is disposed inside the carrier frame 100 and includes two opposing support members 210. The two support members 210 are spaced apart so that they support the corresponding side of the sheet material 500, thereby placing the sheet material 500 inside the carrier frame 100. The support frame 200 is vertically spaced with multiple layers to store multiple sheet materials 500 at the same time, meeting the storage requirements of the sheet material 500.

[0073] Because the material guiding assembly 300 includes multiple sets of guide rollers 310, these rollers are spaced apart along the feeding direction of the carrier frame 100 at the material placement opening 110, and the spacing between them gradually decreases along the feeding direction of the material placement opening 110. Each guide roller 310 is vertically oriented, and each roller 310 can rotate along its own axis under the frictional drive of the sheet material 500. When the material passes through the gaps between the guide rollers 310, the guide rollers can correct the movement trajectory of the sheet material 500, allowing sheet material 500 within a certain offset range to smoothly enter the carrier. Specifically:

[0074] If the sheet material 500 does not shift, it can directly enter the carrier frame 100; combined with Figure 7 If the position of the sheet material 500 shifts (shifting to the left in the attached diagram), the sidewall of the sheet material 500 will first contact the outer left guide roller 310. As the sheet material 500 continues to move, it will cause the outer guide roller 310 to rotate along its own axis, thus preventing damage to the sheet material 500. At the same time, the rotation of the outer guide roller 310 will cause the sheet material 500 to move towards the inner guide roller 310. Figure 8 Ultimately, the sheet material 500 enters the carrier frame 100 through a set of guide rollers 310 facing the carrier frame 100, ensuring that the sheet material 500 within a certain offset range can smoothly enter the carrier.

[0075] Furthermore, the inner spacing of the set of guide rollers 310 facing the carrier frame 100 is smaller than the opening of the material placement port 110. This ensures that when the sheet material 500 enters the carrier frame 100, there is a certain gap between it and the carrier frame 100, preventing the sheet material 500 from colliding with the side wall of the carrier frame 100 and falling and getting damaged. Moreover, the guide assembly 300 enlarges the feed port of the carrier frame 100, providing sufficient margin when the material is placed into the carrier to cover positional errors during the sheet material 500 conveying process.

[0076] In summary, the sheet material carrier provided in this embodiment can correct the material movement trajectory, so that the material can smoothly enter the carrier within a certain offset range, making it convenient for the robot arm 600 to store the sheet material 500 in the carrier.

[0077] Example 2

[0078] Combination Figure 5 This embodiment provides a sheet material carrier, based on the sheet material carrier described in Embodiment 1, and further includes a plurality of positioning rollers 400. Each positioning roller 400 is correspondingly arranged with respect to a support member 210. Each positioning roller 400 is arranged along the feeding direction of the carrier frame 100. Along the height direction of the carrier frame 100, the upper side of each positioning roller 400 is higher than the upper side of the corresponding support member 210. Figure 6 Furthermore, each of the positioning rollers 400 can rotate along its own axis under the frictional drive of the sheet material 500.

[0079] That is, each support member 210 is equipped with a positioning roller 400 on the side facing the fixture frame, and the positioning roller 400 extends along the feeding direction of the material placement port 110. In this embodiment, the axis of the positioning roller 400 is flush with the centerline of the support member 210 in the height direction.

[0080] Therefore, when the sheet material 500 does not enter the carrier frame 100 according to the set position, one side of the sheet material 500 rests on the upper side of the corresponding positioning roller 400. Figure 10 When the robotic arm retracts, the sheet material 500 moves downward under its own weight, causing the positioning roller 400 to rotate inward, thus causing the sheet material 500 to slide inward. Figure 11 Ensure that the sheet material 500 is placed in the carrier frame 100 in the set position. Figure 12 This prevents the sheet material 500 from slipping off the robotic arm 600 during subsequent removal.

[0081] Accordingly, the support member 210 includes: an anti-slip structure 211, which is disposed opposite to the side wall of the carrier frame 100 and prevents the sheet material 500 from sliding laterally on the support member 210; and a sliding structure 212, which is connected to the side of the anti-slip structure 211 away from the side wall of the carrier frame 100 and allows the sheet material 500 to slide laterally.

[0082] Since the anti-slip structure 211 is set directly opposite the side wall of the carrier frame 100, and the sliding structure 212 is connected to the side of the anti-slip structure 211 away from the side wall of the carrier frame 100, when one side of the sheet material 500 abuts against the positioning roller 400, the other side of the sheet material 500 abuts against the sliding structure 212, ensuring that the sheet material 500 can quickly slide towards the corresponding anti-slip structure 211 under its own gravity, and finally stop and limit the movement through the anti-slip structure 211, so that the sheet material 500 is placed within the set position range.

[0083] Generally speaking, both the anti-slip structure 211 and the sliding structure 212 are elongated structures to ensure that the anti-slip structure 211 and the sliding structure 212 can play their respective roles.

[0084] Similarly, in this embodiment, along the feeding direction of the carrier frame 100, each positioning roller 400 includes multiple rollers arranged longitudinally at intervals, so as to reduce the resistance of the positioning roller 400 rotation.

[0085] It is understood that each of the positioning rollers 400 is rotatably connected to the carrier frame 100 to facilitate the installation of the positioning rollers 400.

[0086] Example 3

[0087] This embodiment provides a method for placing sheet material, based on the sheet material carrier of Embodiment 2, including the following steps:

[0088] S10. The sheet material 500 is delivered to the material placement port 110 of the carrier frame 100 by the robot arm 600.

[0089] Specifically, before transferring the sheet material 500, the parameters of the robot arm 600 are set to determine its movement trajectory and put it into standby mode. Then, the robot arm 600 takes out the sheet material 500 and delivers it to the material placement port 110 of the carrier frame 100.

[0090] S20. The robotic arm 600 continues to transport the sheet material 500 into the carrier frame 100, and the guiding component 300 guides the sheet material 500 so that the sheet material 500 completely enters the support frame 200 above the carrier frame 100.

[0091] Specifically, when the position of the sheet material 500 does not shift, the robotic arm 600 directly carries the sheet material 500 into the carrier frame 100. Combined with... Figure 7When the sheet material 500 does not enter the carrier frame 100 in the set position, the side wall of the sheet material 500 first contacts the outer left guide roller 310. As the sheet material 500 continues to move, it drives the outer guide roller 310 to rotate along its own axis, thus avoiding damage to the sheet material 500. At the same time, through the rotation of the outer guide roller 310, the sheet material 500 moves towards the inner guide roller 310. Figure 8 Ultimately, the sheet material 500 enters the interior of the carrier frame 100 via a set of guide rollers 310 directly opposite the carrier frame 100. Figure 9 ).

[0092] S30, the lowering robot 600 places the sheet material 500 onto the corresponding support frame 200.

[0093] It is understandable that during the transfer process, the sheet material 500 is placed on the arm of the robot 600. If the position of the sheet material 500 does not shift, the horizontal side of the sheet material 500 falls on the corresponding support member 210 as the arm of the robot 600 moves down, so that the sheet material 500 is erected on the corresponding support frame 200.

[0094] If the position of the sheet material 500 shifts, one side of the sheet material 500 will rest on the upper side of the corresponding positioning roller 400. Figure 10 As the robotic arm moves downward, the sheet material 500 moves downward under its own weight, causing the positioning roller 400 to rotate inward, thus causing the sheet material 500 to slide inward. Figure 11 Ensure that the sheet material 500 is placed in the carrier frame 100 in the set position. Figure 12 This prevents the sheet material 500 from slipping off the robotic arm 600 during subsequent removal.

[0095] S40. Remove the robotic arm 600 from the carrier frame 100.

[0096] In summary, the sheet material placement method provided in this embodiment first uses a robot arm 600 to deliver the sheet material 500 to the material placement port 110 of the carrier frame 100. Then, the robot arm 600 continues to deliver the sheet material 500 into the carrier frame 100, and the material guiding component 300 guides the sheet material 500 so that it completely enters the carrier frame 100 and is placed above the corresponding support frame 200. Then, the robot arm 600 is moved down to place the sheet material 500 on the corresponding support frame 200. Finally, the robot arm 600 is removed from the carrier frame 100, thereby completing the storage of the sheet material 500.

[0097] In this process, the sheet material 500 enters the interior of the carrier frame 100 via a set of guide rollers 310 facing the carrier frame 100, ensuring that sheet material 500 within a certain offset range can smoothly enter the carrier. The inner spacing of the set of guide rollers 310 facing the carrier frame 100 is smaller than the opening of the material placement port 110, so that there is a certain gap between the sheet material 500 and the carrier frame 100 when it enters the carrier frame 100, which can prevent the sheet material 500 from colliding with the side wall of the carrier frame 100 and falling and being damaged.

[0098] In addition, the sheet material 500 can quickly slide towards the corresponding anti-slip structure 211 under its own gravity, and finally stop and limit the movement through the anti-slip structure 211, so that the sheet material 500 is placed within the set position range.

[0099] The specific embodiments described above further illustrate the purpose, technical solution, and beneficial effects of the present invention. It should be understood that the above description is only a specific embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the scope of protection of the present invention.
