Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the technical field of turnover boxes, and in particular to an intelligent carrier for storing electronic trays. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of surface mount technology (SMT), the storage and transfer of electronic components require the use of tape and electronic trays. The tape serves as the carrier of the components, and its surface has pre-set receiving grooves that match the size of the components. After the components are packaged, they are embedded in the grooves, and an external cover tape is used to achieve sealing protection. The electronic tray is a disc-shaped structure used for winding the tape, including a central spool and flanges on both sides of the spool. The spool is used to wind and store the tape, and the flanges are used to limit the axial displacement of the tape during the winding process and to protect the edges of the tape from damage. An annular opening is formed between the two flanges for winding the tape. The surface of the electronic tray is also equipped with labels for identifying information such as the tape model, batch, and quantity, so as to facilitate quick identification and traceability of material information during the production process.
[0003] In actual production processes, electronic material trays are often transported and stored in turnover boxes. The material strips wrapped around the electronic material trays are only simply protected by flanges. If the electronic material trays are stacked in the turnover box, the weight of the upper electronic material trays will squeeze the flanges of the lower electronic material trays, which can easily cause the flanges of the lower electronic material trays to deform or break, thereby causing the internal material strips to be deformed or misaligned under pressure. Therefore, electronic material trays are usually placed vertically in special carriers to provide protection and positioning for the material strips and electronic material trays, ensuring their stability during the flow process.
[0004] Specialized carriers for electronic material trays typically consist of a combination of a turnover box and a pallet. The pallet is placed inside the turnover box, and its core function is to support and neatly store the electronic material trays. To ensure stable placement and convenient retrieval of the electronic material trays, several slots are pre-cut on the surface of the pallet. The width and length of the slots are slightly larger than the thickness and diameter of the electronic material tray, respectively. The original intention of this size design is to ensure that the electronic material tray can be smoothly inserted into the slots for positioning. However, under the influence of external forces such as bumps and tilts during transportation, the electronic material tray is prone to rotation. Although there are simple fixing measures for the free end of the material strip, the rotation of the electronic material tray will destroy the stability of the fixing structure, causing the free end of the material strip to loosen or misalign between layers, affecting the stability of subsequent feeding.
[0005] Therefore, a smart carrier for storing electronic trays is needed to solve the problem of electronic trays easily rotating in the transfer box. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To prevent electronic trays from rotating within the turnover box, this application provides an intelligent carrier for storing electronic trays.
[0007] This application provides a smart carrier for storing electronic trays, which adopts the following technical solution: A smart carrier for storing electronic material trays includes a carrier body, the carrier body including a turnover box and a pallet, the pallet being installed inside the turnover box. The turnover box includes a lid and a box body, the lid being detachably installed on the box body. The turnover box is provided with a positioning mechanism for positioning the electronic material tray. The positioning mechanism includes a left positioning component, a right positioning component, and a synchronization component. The left and right positioning components are rotatably mounted on the lid. When the lid and box body are closed, the left and right positioning components respectively rotatably abut against the edge of the electronic material tray to limit the shaking of the electronic material tray. The synchronization component is drively connected to the left and right positioning components so that the left and right positioning components rotate synchronously outward or synchronously inward. The left and right positioning components abut against the electronic material tray and rotate synchronously outward to limit the rotation of the electronic material tray; the left and right positioning components rotate synchronously inward to release the electronic material tray.
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, after the box is packed, the lid is closed to the box body. During the closing process, the left and right positioning components abut against the edges of the electronic material tray from the left and right sides, respectively. As the lid continues to press down, the left positioning component rotates away from the right positioning component, and the right positioning component rotates away from the left positioning component. Both rotate outward synchronously to clamp the edge of the electronic material tray. Under the action of the synchronizing component, the left and right positioning components rotate in opposite directions and at the same angle, ensuring a uniform distribution of clamping force and preventing the electronic material tray from rotating on its own. It effectively protects the integrity of the material strip and the stability of the interlayer structure. When the box cover is removed, the left and right positioning components can rotate inward synchronously to release the clamping state of the electronic material tray, making it easy to quickly remove the electronic material tray. Compared with the existing technology, the carrier body achieves reliable fixation of the electronic material tray through the positioning mechanism, effectively preventing the material strip from loosening and interlayer misalignment caused by shaking or rotation. During the process of opening the box cover, the clamping of the electronic material tray can be released simultaneously, making operation convenient and greatly improving the safety and work efficiency of the electronic material tray transfer process.
[0009] Optionally, the synchronization component includes a left transmission component fixedly connected to the left positioning component, a right transmission component fixedly connected to the right positioning component, and a linkage component. The left transmission component and the right transmission component are coaxially rotatably installed inside the cover. The linkage component engages with the left transmission component and the right transmission component respectively to make the left transmission component and the right transmission component rotate synchronously in opposite directions.
[0010] By adopting the above technical solution, when the lid and the body are closed, the left and right transmission components rotate synchronously in opposite directions under the transmission action of the linkage component. The left transmission component moves synchronously with the left positioning component, and the right transmission component moves synchronously with the right positioning component, thereby driving the left and right positioning components to rotate synchronously outward, realizing synchronous clamping of the electronic material tray from both sides. When the box is opened, as the lid moves upward, the left and right transmission components rotate synchronously inward under the transmission action of the linkage component. The left and right positioning components synchronously realize the rapid release of the electronic material tray. The synchronous control of the positioning components is achieved through meshing transmission. The structure is simple and the transmission accuracy is high.
[0011] Optionally, the tray is provided with a limiting platform, and the left positioning component and the right positioning component rotate outward to abut against the surface of the limiting platform to limit the maximum outward rotation range of the left positioning component and the right positioning component.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solution, when the box body and the box cover are closed, the left positioning component and the right positioning component rotate outward under the drive of the synchronization component until they abut against the surface of the limiting platform on the pallet. At this time, the clamping force is stable and reliable, effectively preventing the electronic material tray from rotating during transportation and causing the material belt to loosen.
[0013] Optionally, the left positioning component includes a left connector and a left positioning strip. The left connector is fixedly connected to the left transmission component, and the left positioning strip is fixedly installed on the left connector. The right positioning component includes a right connector and a right positioning strip. The right connector is fixedly connected to the right transmission component, and the right positioning strip is fixedly installed on the right connector. The left positioning strip and the right positioning strip are respectively inserted into the openings on both sides of the electronic material tray to restrict the movement of the electronic material tray along the length direction of the housing.
[0014] By adopting the above technical solution, when the lid and the box body are gradually closed, the left positioning strip and the right positioning strip slide obliquely into the edges of the openings on both sides of the electronic material tray. As the closure deepens, the left positioning strip and the right positioning strip gradually embed into the opening, forming a firm limit, effectively suppressing the electronic material tray from moving along the length of the box body during transportation.
[0015] Optionally, the left positioning strip and the right positioning strip are distributed around the electronic material tray. As the box cover closes, the left positioning strip and the right positioning strip cause the electronic material tray to abut against the bottom of the tray to restrict the up and down movement of the electronic material tray.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, when the lid and the body of the box are further closed, the left and right positioning strips continuously apply tilting pressure, gradually pressing the electronic material tray to the bottom of the tray and restricting the electronic material tray from moving up and down.
[0017] Optionally, the tray is provided with clearance slots to facilitate the picking and placing of the electronic material tray, and multiple clearance slots are provided along the length direction of the electronic material tray.
[0018] By adopting the above technical solution, the clearance groove of the tray is adapted to the path of the electronic material tray for picking and placing. The electronic material tray is directly contacted and clamped through the clearance groove without the need to remove the tray.
[0019] Optionally, the lid includes a main body and an extension. The main body covers the top of the box, and the extension extends from the end of the main body into the box. The positioning mechanism is located inside the extension.
[0020] By adopting the above technical solution, when the lid and the body are closed, the main body achieves the sealing of the top of the body, and the extension gradually embeds into the inner space of the body as the lid is closed, so that the positioning mechanism is accurately aligned with the edge of the electronic tray. During the process of the extension going deeper, the positioning mechanism and the electronic tray are triggered to cooperate, thereby achieving stable positioning of the electronic tray.
[0021] Optionally, the outer wall of the box is provided with horizontal reinforcing ribs and vertical reinforcing ribs, with the horizontal reinforcing ribs located on the long side of the box and the vertical reinforcing ribs located on the short side of the box.
[0022] By adopting the above technical solution, the horizontal reinforcing ribs of the outer wall of the box are set on the long side to enhance the bending deformation resistance of the long side; the vertical reinforcing ribs are set on the short side to improve the compressive strength of the short side. The combination of reinforcing ribs in different directions forms an all-round structural reinforcement of the box.
[0023] Optionally, the carrier body further includes an intelligent control module, which includes a status sensing unit and a communication unit. The status sensing unit detects the storage status of the electronic material tray and the working status of the positioning mechanism in real time. The electronic material tray is picked up and placed by a robotic arm. The communication unit is electrically connected to the robotic arm and transmits the data collected by the sensing unit to the control system of the robotic arm to cooperate with the electronic material tray to complete the picking and placing action.
[0024] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects: 1. The carrier body achieves reliable fixation of the electronic material tray through the positioning mechanism, effectively preventing the material belt from loosening and the interlayer misalignment caused by shaking or rotation. When the box cover is opened, the clamping of the electronic material tray can be released simultaneously, making the operation convenient and greatly improving the safety and work efficiency of the electronic material tray transfer process. 2. When the lid is closed, the left and right transmission components rotate synchronously in opposite directions under the transmission action of the linkage component. The left transmission component moves synchronously with the left positioning component, and the right transmission component moves synchronously with the right positioning component, thereby driving the left and right positioning components to rotate synchronously outward, achieving synchronous clamping of the electronic material tray from both sides. When the box is opened, as the lid moves upward, the left and right transmission components rotate synchronously inward under the transmission action of the linkage component. The left and right positioning components synchronously achieve rapid release of the electronic material tray. The synchronous control of the positioning components is achieved through meshing transmission. The structure is simple and the transmission accuracy is high. 3. As the lid and body of the box gradually close, the left and right positioning strips slide obliquely into the edges of the openings on both sides of the electronic tray. As the closing deepens, the left and right positioning strips gradually embed into the openings, forming a firm limit and effectively suppressing the electronic tray from moving along the length of the box during transportation.

Detailed Implementation
[0027] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-5 This application will be described in further detail.
[0028] Example: A smart carrier for storing electronic trays, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The system includes a carrier body, which comprises a turnover box 1 and a pallet 3. The pallet 3 is detachably installed inside the turnover box 1. The turnover box 1 includes a box body 111 and a box cover 121. The box body 111 has a cuboid structure with an opening at the top for easy access to the electronic material tray 4. The box cover 121 is placed on top of the box body 111 and is detachably connected to the box body 111, providing protection for the electronic material tray 4 inside the box body 111. The turnover box 1 is equipped with a positioning mechanism 2, which includes a left positioning component 211, a right positioning component 221, and a synchronization component 231. The left positioning component 211 and the right positioning component 221 are located around the electronic material tray 4 and are spaced apart. The left positioning component 211 and the right positioning component 221 are rotatably connected to the box cover 121, and the rotation axes of the left positioning component 211 and the right positioning component 221 are coaxial with the axis of the electronic material tray 4. Figure 3 As the lid 121 closes onto the housing 111, the left positioning component 211 and the right positioning component 221 abut against the electronic material tray 4. The left positioning component 211 is located on the left side of the electronic material tray 4, and the right positioning component 221 is located on the right side of the electronic material tray 4. As the lid 121 continues to press down, the left positioning component 211 rotates to the left along the axis of the electronic material tray 4 while abutting against it, and the right positioning component 221 rotates to the right along the axis of the electronic material tray 4 while abutting against it. The synchronization component 231 is connected to the left positioning component 211 and the right positioning component 221. Driven by the synchronization component 231, the left positioning component 211 and the right positioning component 221 move synchronously, and their rotation directions are opposite. When the lid 121 is fully closed... After step 21, the left positioning component 211 and the right positioning component 221 form a stable clamp on the electronic material tray 4 from the left and right sides respectively, preventing the electronic material tray 4 from rotating and ensuring the stable positioning of the electronic material tray 4 within the housing 111. When the housing cover 121 is moved upward, the left positioning component 211 and the right positioning component 221 are lifted upward synchronously, and the clamping force of the left positioning component 211 and the right positioning component 221 on the side wall of the electronic material tray 4 gradually decreases. Under the coordinated action of the synchronization component 231, the left positioning component 211 and the right positioning component 221 rotate inward synchronously, gradually disengaging from the side wall of the electronic material tray 4. The housing cover 121 is then pulled upward until the left positioning component 211 and the right positioning component 221 are completely disengaged from the electronic material tray 4. The electronic material tray 4 is no longer constrained by any external force and can be easily removed.
[0029] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2The cover 121 includes a main body 122 and an extension 123. The main body 122 and the extension 123 are integrally formed. The main body 122 covers the top of the box body 111. The extension 123 extends downward from the bottom surface of the main body 122 and into the interior of the box body 111. The left positioning component 211 and the right positioning component 221 are arranged along the axial direction of the electronic tray 4, and then combined with... Figure 3 The main body 122 is fixedly installed with a first connector 1221 and a second connector 1222. Both the first connector 1221 and the second connector 1222 extend into the housing 111. The left positioning component 211 is rotatably connected to the main body 122 through the first connector 1221, the right positioning component 221 is directly rotatably connected to the extension 123, and the synchronization component 231 is rotatably connected to the main body 122 through the second connector 1222.
[0030] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The synchronization component 231 includes a left transmission component 232, a right transmission component 233, and a linkage component 234. In this embodiment, the left transmission component 232, the right transmission component 233, and the linkage component 234 are all bevel gear structures. The left transmission component 232 and the right transmission component 233 are coaxial, and the linkage component 234 is located between the left transmission component 232 and the right transmission component 233. The bevel teeth at both ends of the linkage component 234 mesh with the bevel teeth of the left transmission component 232 and the right transmission component 233, respectively. The left transmission component 232 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the left positioning component 211. The right transmission component 233 is coaxially and fixedly connected to the right positioning component 221. When the left positioning component 211 rotates to the left, it drives the left transmission component 232 to rotate synchronously. The motion is transmitted to the right transmission component 233 through the linkage component 234, which drives the right positioning component 221 to rotate to the right. This achieves the opposite synchronous rotation of the left positioning component 211 and the right positioning component 221, ensuring the precise clamping and release of the electronic material tray 4. The gear structure ensures the accuracy and stability of the transmission and effectively avoids positioning offset caused by fit error.
[0031] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3The shape and size of the tray 3 are adapted to the internal shape and size of the box 111. The tray 3 has slots 311 for accommodating electronic trays 4. The slots 311 are V-shaped. The self-adaptive positioning is achieved by the fit between the inner wall of the slot 311 and the side wall of the electronic tray 4. Multiple slots 311 are provided and evenly distributed on the tray 3. Multiple electronic trays 4 can be placed in the tray 3 at the same time. A limiting platform 312 is integrally formed on the tray 3. The limiting platform 312 is located at both ends of the slots 311, and the end face of the limiting platform 312 is located in the middle of the electronic tray 4. When the left positioning component 211 and the right positioning component 221 rotate outward, the limiting platform 312 limits the rotation stroke of the left positioning component 211 and the right positioning component 221, so that the left positioning component 211 and the right positioning component 221 stop in the middle of the side wall of the electronic tray 4 after rotation, thereby stably clamping and positioning the electronic tray 4 from the left and right sides.
[0032] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The left positioning component 211 includes a left connector 212 and a left positioning strip 213. The left connector 212 is L-shaped and includes a connected horizontal section 2121 and a vertical section 2122. The horizontal section 2121 extends radially along the electronic material tray 4, and the vertical section 2122 extends axially along the electronic material tray 4. The horizontal section 2121 is fixedly connected to the left transmission component 232. The left positioning strip 213 is fixedly installed on the vertical section 2122. Multiple left positioning strips 213 are provided and correspond one-to-one with the electronic material tray 4. The left positioning strip 213 is arc-shaped and matches the curvature of the outer wall of the electronic material tray 4. The left positioning strip 213 has a guide slope to facilitate its smooth sliding into the opening of the electronic material tray 4 during clamping. When the guide slope of the left positioning strip 213 contacts the opening of the electronic material tray 4, automatic centering is achieved through the slope, reducing assembly resistance. In this embodiment, the left positioning strip 213 is made of elastic rubber, possessing good wear resistance and anti-aging properties, effectively buffering clamping impact and preventing damage to the surface of the electronic material tray 4. Combined with… Figure 2 When the lid 121 is fully closed, the vertical section 2122 of the left connector 212 abuts against the surface of the limiting stage 312 on the left side of the electronic tray 4, further restricting the rotation position of the left connector 212; the right positioning component 221 includes the right connector 222 and the right positioning strip 223. The structure and principle of the right positioning component 221 are similar to those of the left positioning component 211, and will not be described again here.
[0033] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 4 , and then combine Figure 5As the lid 121 closes downwards, the left positioning strip 213 and right positioning strip 223 first engage with the openings on both sides of the electronic material tray 4, restricting the electronic material tray 4 from swaying along its own axis within the tray 3. As the lid 121 continues to press down, the left positioning strip 213 and right positioning strip 223, under elastic deformation, adhere tightly to the sidewall of the electronic material tray 4. The left positioning assembly 211 and right positioning assembly 221, under the action of the synchronizing assembly 231, rotate synchronously outwards, causing the left positioning strip 213 and right positioning strip 223 to move towards the center of the electronic material tray 4 and continuously apply radial clamping force. After the lid 121 is fully closed, the left positioning strip 213 and right positioning strip 223 are located at the center of the left and right sides of the electronic material tray 4, respectively. The distance between the three is consistent with the diameter of the electronic tray 4, thus limiting the radial sway of the electronic tray 4. In addition, since the left positioning bar 213 and the right positioning bar 223 are symmetrically arranged and are arc-shaped, they work together to press the electronic tray 4 against the bottom of the tray 3, and the bottom of the electronic tray 4 fits tightly against the bottom of the tray 3, effectively preventing the electronic tray 4 from jumping up and down. At the same time, under the friction of the left positioning bar 213 and the right positioning bar 223, the electronic tray 4 is difficult to rotate circumferentially. In addition, the synchronization component 231 ensures that the left positioning bar 213 and the right positioning bar 223 move synchronously, and the rotation directions of the left positioning bar 213 and the right positioning bar 223 are opposite, further preventing the electronic tray 4 from rotating on its own.
[0034] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The tray 3 has a clearance groove 313, which communicates with the slot 311. The electronic tray 4 is picked up and placed by a robotic arm. When the robotic arm grips the electronic tray 4, its grippers pass through the clearance groove 313 and enter the slot 311, picking up the electronic tray 4 from both sides. The grippers move smoothly in and out of the clearance groove 313, avoiding interference with the housing 111. The side wall of the housing 111 includes a long side 112 and a short side 113. The long side 112 is integrally formed with a transverse reinforcing rib 1. 121, the short side 113 is integrally formed with vertical reinforcing ribs 1131, which improves the overall structural strength and deformation resistance of the box 111. In this embodiment, the turnover box 1 is injection molded from high-strength polypropylene material, and carbon powder is added to the material of the turnover box 1, so that the turnover box 1 has good conductivity, effectively preventing static electricity accumulation and providing effective protection for the components in the electronic tray 4. The surface of the positioning mechanism 2 is treated with anti-static agents to further reduce the potential harm of static electricity to the components.
[0035] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3The carrier body also includes an intelligent control module (not shown in the figure). The turnover box 1 has a double-layer hollow structure. The main control board of the intelligent control module is installed in the hollow interlayer of the box cover 121 to avoid occupying the internal storage space of the turnover box 1 and to prevent damage during transportation. The intelligent control module includes a status sensing unit (not shown in the figure) and a communication unit (not shown in the figure). The status sensing unit includes a pressure sensor (not shown in the figure) and a displacement sensor (not shown in the figure). The pressure sensor is installed on the left positioning component 211 and the right positioning component 221 to detect the limiting status of the positioning mechanism 2 on the electronic material tray 4 in real time and to determine whether the electronic material tray 4 is in a limited or released state. The displacement sensor is installed on the tray 3 to detect the displacement and rotation angle of the electronic material tray 4, thereby detecting the storage status of the electronic material tray 4 and determining whether the electronic material tray 4 has experienced abnormalities such as rotation.
[0036] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The electronic tray 4 is picked up and placed by a robotic arm (not shown in the figure). The main control board processes the collected sensor data. The communication unit is electrically connected to the robotic arm and transmits the processed valid data to the robotic arm's control system. After receiving the data, the robotic arm's control system performs logical judgment: if the pressure sensor data shows that the positioning mechanism 2 has released the electronic tray 4, and the displacement sensor data shows that the rotation angle and displacement of the electronic tray 4 are within the preset threshold range, then the control system calls the preset pick-up and place program, controls the robotic arm to move to the target slot 311, adjusts the opening and closing degree of the gripper and the gripping pressure, and completes the precise gripping of the electronic tray 4; if the sensor data shows that the positioning mechanism 2 has not released the electronic tray 4 or the position of the electronic tray 4 is abnormal, then the control system pauses the robotic arm's pick-up and place operation and sends a warning signal to the operator. The subsequent operation is performed after the abnormality is eliminated.
[0037] The implementation principle of this application embodiment is as follows: A tray 3 of suitable size is placed inside the housing 111, and the electronic material tray 4 is placed in the slot 311 of the tray 3 to achieve initial positioning. During the closing of the housing cover 121, the left positioning component 211 and the right positioning component 221 move down with the housing cover 121. The left positioning strip 213 and the right positioning strip 223 first engage with the openings on both sides of the electronic material tray 4 to limit the axial sway of the electronic material tray 4. As the housing cover 121 continues to press down, the left positioning component 211 and the right positioning component 221 abut against the side wall of the electronic material tray 4. The left transmission component 232 and the right transmission component 233 achieve reverse synchronous transmission through the linkage component 234, driving the left positioning component 211 to rotate to the left and the right positioning component 221 to rotate to the right, so that the left positioning strip 213 and the right positioning strip 223, under elastic deformation, are tightly attached to the side wall of the electronic material tray 4 and move towards the center of the electronic material tray 4. Simultaneously, a radial clamping force is continuously applied until the lid 121 is completely closed. At this time, the left positioning strip 213 and the right positioning strip 223 are located in the middle of the left and right sides of the electronic material tray 4, respectively, with the spacing matching the diameter of the electronic material tray 4, thus restricting the radial sway of the electronic material tray 4. The left positioning strip 213 and the right positioning strip 223 work together to press the electronic material tray 4 against the bottom of the tray 3, preventing the electronic material tray 4 from jumping up and down. The friction between the left positioning strip 213 and the right positioning strip 223 and the electronic material tray 4, as well as the reverse synchronous transmission effect of the synchronization component 231, further hinder the rotation of the electronic material tray 4. When the lid 121 is opened, the left positioning component 211 and the right positioning component 221 move upward with the lid 121, and the clamping force on the electronic material tray 4 gradually decreases. Under the coordination of the synchronization component 231, they rotate inward synchronously to disengage from the side wall of the electronic material tray 4, and finally the electronic material tray 4 is released from external force constraints and can be taken out.
[0038] The above are all preferred embodiments of this application and are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this application. Therefore, all equivalent changes made in accordance with the structure, shape and principle of this application should be covered within the scope of protection of this application.
