Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of integrated circuit technology, and in particular to a feeding device. Background Technology

[0002] After the circuit board is manufactured, it needs to be put into the packaging production line to be packaged. After packaging, the circuit board packaging box is wrapped around the circuit board, which can protect the circuit board.

[0003] Packaging production lines typically use a linear feeding method to supply circuit board packaging boxes, which results in problems such as large space occupation, complex structure, high cost, and difficult installation and layout. Summary of the Invention

[0004] This application provides a feeding device to at least solve the problems of large space occupation, complex structure, high cost and difficult installation layout of packaging production lines in related technologies.

[0005] This application provides a feeding device, including:

[0006] The rack includes a first mounting area and a second mounting area located below the first mounting area, and the first mounting area and the second mounting area are connected by a communication port.

[0007] A material frame is disposed in the first installation area. The material frame has an adjustable-size receiving cavity for receiving box-shaped materials.

[0008] A drive mechanism is provided in the second installation area. The output end of the drive mechanism can act on the box-shaped material located in the material frame through the communication port. The drive mechanism is used to drive the box-shaped material to move up and down in the vertical direction in the material frame.

[0009] Through this application, since the frame includes a first installation area and a second installation area arranged vertically, the material frame is set in the first installation area, and the drive mechanism is installed in the second installation area. The material frame and drive mechanism can make full use of the space of the frame for assembly, forming a compact feeding device. This reduces the space occupied by the feeding device and facilitates its installation layout in the workshop. The upper and lower structural form of the frame and the vertical arrangement of the material frame and drive mechanism place lower structural requirements on the frame, material frame, and drive mechanism, which can reduce the manufacturing cost of the feeding device to a certain extent. In addition, since the material frame has an adjustable-size receiving cavity, it can accommodate box-shaped materials of different sizes and specifications, making the feeding device highly flexible. It can accommodate box-shaped materials of different sizes and specifications according to different packaging needs, thereby improving the versatility of the feeding device. Furthermore, since a drive mechanism capable of outputting vertical lifting motion is adopted, firstly, it can assist workers in their work and reduce the difficulty of operation; secondly, it can reduce the structural composition of the drive mechanism; and thirdly, it can improve the smoothness of movement.

[0018] 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. Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of this application.

[0019] It should be noted that the terms "center," "longitudinal," "lateral," "length," "width," "thickness," "upper," "lower," "front," "rear," "left," "right," "vertical," "horizontal," "top," "bottom," "inner," "outer," "clockwise," "counterclockwise," "axial," "radial," and "circumferential," etc., indicating orientation or positional relationships based on the orientation or positional relationships shown in the accompanying drawings, 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, and therefore should not be construed as a limitation of this application.

Those skilled in the art will understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this application based on the specific circumstances.

[0020] To bring circuit boards to market, they typically undergo packaging after manufacturing to prevent damage during transportation and storage. With the rapid development of information technology and artificial intelligence, circuit boards are becoming increasingly integrated and complex in their configurations. For example, they often incorporate more storage modules and other components. This makes the packaging process even more crucial and challenging.

[0021] After packaging, the circuit board is housed in a circuit board packaging box, which provides basic protection for the circuit board.

[0022] To package the circuit boards, after the circuit boards are manufactured, they need to be put into the packaging production line, where the packaging box can wrap around the circuit boards.

[0023] The packaging production line needs to provide circuit board packaging boxes as raw materials, and then the circuit boards are fed in to allow the circuit boards to enter the circuit board packaging boxes. The packaging production line in related technologies usually adopts a linear feeding method, that is, multiple circuit board packaging boxes move in a straight line to adapt to the packaging of circuit boards.

[0024] Based on the aforementioned packaging production line, there are at least two packaging operation methods. The first is the manual operation mode, which is one of the basic operation modes. That is, the packaging process of circuit boards is completed manually. The basic operation process is that the worker stands on one side of the packaging production line, identifies the position of the circuit board packaging box by visual inspection, and then places the circuit board into the circuit board packaging box manually or with the help of simple tools.

[0025] Manual operation is limited by the workers' technical skills and energy, resulting in high manpower input, high labor intensity, low efficiency, and problems such as missing or overloading.

[0026] The second type is the automatic operation mode, which uses the actions of robotic arms and other related mechanical mechanisms to automatically place the circuit board into the circuit board packaging box.

[0027] Both of the above operating modes require a packaging production line with linear material feeding as a foundation. The horizontal chain plate mechanism is the main structure of the above packaging production line, which can realize the linear transportation of circuit board packaging boxes. To match this structure, the above automatic operating modes can be completed by a robotic arm.

[0028] It is understandable that, for the packaging production line as a whole, the packaging production line usually requires a large working space and installation space. For example, the horizontal chain plate mechanism needs to move in the horizontal direction, which results in a large occupation of horizontal space. Similarly, the robotic arm needs sufficient three-dimensional space to support its operation within the space range.

[0029] In addition, packaging production lines often suffer from problems such as complex structure and high cost.

[0030] Therefore, the packaging production lines in related technologies have problems such as complex structure, high cost, and large space occupation, which are not conducive to the installation and layout of the packaging production lines in the workshop.

[0031] Based on the above situation and problems, this application provides a feeding device that can feed box-shaped materials, such as circuit board packaging boxes. This feeding device changes the structural form, giving it advantages such as compact structure, low cost, and small space occupation.

[0032] Specifically, the feeding device in this application embodiment changes the feeding method of box-shaped materials, specifically changing from a straight feeding method in the horizontal plane to a vertical feeding method. The feeding device completes the feeding process of box-shaped materials from bottom to top. Box-shaped materials can be stacked in the feeding device and the sequential feeding of box-shaped materials can be completed. This method can greatly reduce the space occupied by the feeding device.

[0033] To achieve the above objectives, the feeding device in this application embodiment needs to be configured with a material frame and a driving mechanism. The box-shaped materials can be stacked in the material frame, and the driving mechanism can act on the box-shaped materials so that the box-shaped materials can be detached from the material frame from bottom to top and the packaging operation of the circuit boards can be completed in sequence.

[0034] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the present application will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0035] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of a feeding device provided in an embodiment of this application; Figure 2 This is a structural schematic diagram of a feeding device provided in an embodiment of this application from another angle.

[0036] In the embodiments of this application, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The feeding device includes a frame 100, a material frame 200, and a drive mechanism 300.

[0037] The frame 100 is the load-bearing structure in the feeding device. Other parts of the feeding device, such as the material frame 200 and the drive mechanism 300, can be installed on the frame 100.

[0038] The rack 100 adopts a vertical structure and includes a first mounting area 101 and a second mounting area 102, with the second mounting area 102 located below the first mounting area 101.

[0039] Reference Figure 1 The X direction represents the length direction of the feeding device, the Y direction represents the width direction of the feeding device, and the Z direction represents the height direction of the feeding device. It can be understood that the first mounting area 101 and the second mounting area 102 are arranged along the height direction, with the first mounting area 101 positioned higher than the second mounting area 102.

[0040] The embodiments of this application do not limit the specific structural form of the frame 100. For example, the frame 100 can be connected by sheet metal materials, or the frame 100 can be connected by various columnar structures.

[0041] The first installation area 101 and the second installation area 102 are connected by a connecting port (not shown in the figure). The connecting port can be formed by the frame 100. For example, the connecting port can be formed on the top plate 110 in the following embodiment. The connecting port can also be formed by the material frame 200. For example, the bottom of the material frame 200 can form the connecting port. The setting of the connecting port facilitates the driving mechanism 300 to act on the box-shaped material 10.

[0042] The material frame 200 is a structure in the feeding device used to accommodate the box-shaped material 10. Therefore, the material frame 200 may include a receiving cavity 201 in which the box-shaped material 10 can be accommodated.

[0043] The material frame 200 is disposed in the first installation area 101. The material frame 200 has an adjustable receiving cavity 201, so that the material frame 200 can be adapted to box-shaped materials 10 of different sizes and specifications.

[0044] Generally speaking, the box-shaped material 10 has a cuboid structure. Therefore, the material frame 200 can also adopt a cuboid structure, or at least the receiving cavity 201 in the material frame 200 is constructed into a cuboid shape so that the box-shaped material 10 with a cuboid structure can be stably received in the receiving cavity 201.

[0045] In some cases, the box-shaped material 10 can also have other structures, and the material frame 200 can also be constructed into other structures.

[0046] Understandably, because the material frame 200 has an adjustable-size receiving cavity 201, the material frame 200 can accommodate box-shaped materials 10 of different sizes and specifications, which makes the feeding device highly flexible and can accommodate box-shaped materials 10 of different sizes and specifications according to different packaging needs, thereby improving the versatility of the feeding device.

[0047] The drive mechanism 300 is disposed in the second receiving cavity 201. The output end 310 of the drive mechanism 300 can act on the box-shaped material 10 located in the material frame 200 through the communication port. The drive mechanism 300 is used to drive the box-shaped material 10 to move vertically in the material frame 200.

[0048] The vertical direction here can be followed as Figure 1 The Z direction can be understood as either driving the box-shaped material 10 upward in the Z direction or driving the box-shaped material 10 downward in the opposite direction to the Z direction.

[0049] It is understandable that driving the box-shaped material 10 to move up and down via the drive mechanism 300 has at least three benefits: First, it assists workers and reduces the difficulty of operation. Specifically, the drive mechanism 300 can push the box-shaped material 10 to a position that is easy for workers to operate in, such as making the height of the box-shaped material 10 similar to the height of the worker, thereby avoiding the worker repeatedly bending over to work. Second, it reduces the structural composition of the drive mechanism 300. Specifically, since the drive mechanism 300 uses vertical up-and-down motion, its structure can be simplified and it is easier to arrange. Third, it improves the stability of the motion. Specifically, vertical up-and-down motion is a motion with one degree of freedom, the motion trajectory is simple, and it can be precisely controlled, which can stably push the box-shaped material 10 to the required position and avoid problems such as jamming or tilting of the box-shaped material 10.

[0050] The specific type of the drive mechanism 300 is not limited in the embodiments of this application. For example, the drive mechanism 300 may be one of the following: a lifting mechanism, a lead screw drive assembly, a belt drive assembly, or a worm gear assembly.

[0051] For example, please refer to the example of a lifting mechanism. Figure 1 The drive mechanism 300 may include a lifting base 320 and a lifting rod 330, which can act on the bottom of the box-shaped material 10.

[0052] The lifting base 320 can be equipped with power components such as hydraulic cylinders or pneumatic cylinders, and the lifting rod 330 can be connected to the output shaft of the hydraulic cylinder or pneumatic cylinder, so that the lifting rod 330 can be driven to perform lifting and lowering movements by means of hydraulic power or pneumatic power.

[0053] Taking the lead screw transmission assembly as an example, the drive mechanism 300 may include a lead screw arranged in the vertical direction, a drive motor that drives the lead screw to rotate, a slider that can move along the lead screw, and a push arm connected to the slider. After the drive motor runs, it can drive the lead screw to rotate. At this time, the slider can drive the push arm to rise and fall in the vertical direction, so that the push arm can act on the bottom of the box-shaped material 10.

[0054] Understandably, the type of drive mechanism 300 can be reasonably selected based on power requirements, cost requirements, and other factors.

[0055] Typically, multiple circuit boards from the same batch need to be packaged within a single production cycle. Therefore, the receiving cavity 201 stores multiple box-shaped materials 10. During operation, workers can place the circuit boards into the box-shaped materials 10 located at the top of the receiving cavity 201. After packaging, the top box-shaped materials 10 can be transferred to the next workstation manually or automatically. Then, the drive mechanism 300 will drive the next box-shaped material 10 to rise to the top position, and so on. Through continuous operation by workers, continuous packaging of multiple circuit boards can be achieved.

[0056] In this embodiment, the frame 100 includes a first mounting area 101 and a second mounting area 102 arranged vertically. The material frame 200 is disposed in the first mounting area 101, and the drive mechanism 300 is installed in the second mounting area 102. The material frame 200 and the drive mechanism 300 can be assembled by making full use of the space of the frame 100, forming a compact feeding device, thereby reducing the space occupied by the feeding device and facilitating the installation layout of the feeding device in the workshop. The vertical structure of the frame 100 and the vertical arrangement of the material frame 200 and the drive mechanism 300 place lower structural requirements on the frame 100, the material frame 200, and the drive mechanism 300, which can reduce the manufacturing cost of the feeding device to a certain extent. In addition, because the material frame 200 has an adjustable-size receiving cavity 201, the material frame 200 can accommodate box-shaped materials 10 of different sizes and specifications, making the feeding device highly flexible. It can accommodate box-shaped materials 10 of different sizes and specifications according to different packaging needs, thereby improving the versatility of the feeding device. Furthermore, by employing a drive mechanism 300 capable of outputting vertical lifting motion, firstly, it can assist workers in their operations and reduce the difficulty of their work; secondly, it can reduce the structural composition of the drive mechanism 300; and thirdly, it can improve the smoothness of the movement.

[0057] The embodiments of this application, through the cooperation of the frame 100, the material frame 200 and the drive mechanism 300, can not only reduce the space occupied by the feeding device, reduce the manufacturing cost of the feeding device, and simplify the structural composition of the feeding device, but also expand the application scope of the feeding device, making it more flexible and versatile, and also reduce the difficulty of operation for workers and improve the smoothness of movement.

[0058] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The frame 100 includes a top plate 110, on which a communication port is provided.

[0059] The aforementioned material frame 200 can be installed on the top plate 110. The top plate 110 needs to have a certain load-bearing capacity and can be made of materials such as metal.

[0060] It is understandable that the diameter of the connecting port on the top plate 110 needs to meet certain requirements. For example, the diameter of the connecting port needs to be able to allow the output end 310 of the drive mechanism 300 to pass through, and the diameter needs to be smaller than the external dimensions of the box-shaped material 10 to prevent the box-shaped material 10 from falling out of the connecting port.

[0061] In some specific embodiments, the number of connection ports can be multiple, and the drive mechanism 300 can include multiple output terminals 310. One output terminal 310 is paired with one connection port, which can improve the driving force of the drive mechanism 300 on the box-shaped material 10, and also avoid the overall loss of the function of the drive mechanism 300 after the failure of a single output terminal 310.

[0062] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The frame 100 also includes a support assembly 120. A top plate 110 is disposed on the top of the support assembly 120. The support assembly 120 includes a support base plate 121 and a plurality of support columns 122 disposed on the support base plate 121. The top plate 110, the support base plate 121 and the support columns 122 form a second installation area 102.

[0063] The support base plate 121 can be arranged parallel to the top plate 110. The function of the support column 122 is to support the top plate 110, the material frame 200 and the box-shaped material 10 in the material frame 200. Therefore, the support column 122 needs to have a certain structural strength. The support column 122 can be made of metal material.

[0064] To avoid occupying space in the second installation area 102, multiple support columns 122 can be set at the edge of the support base plate 121, and the number of support columns 122 can be set according to actual needs.

[0065] In some specific embodiments, the support column 122 is a telescopic column that can extend and retract in the vertical direction. On the one hand, the size of the second installation area 102 can be adjusted to facilitate the installation of different types of drive mechanisms 300. On the other hand, the height of the material frame 200 can be adjusted by the extension and retraction of the telescopic column, which facilitates the operation of workers.

[0066] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The frame 100 also includes a steering assembly 130 disposed at the bottom of the support base plate 121, the steering assembly 130 including a plurality of steering wheels 131.

[0067] The steering assembly 130 facilitates the movement of the feeding device within the workshop. The steering wheel 131 can be a caster wheel, which ensures that the feeding device has flexible steering freedom and improves the smoothness of the feeding device's movement within the workshop.

[0068] Figure 3 This is a top view of a material frame provided in an embodiment of this application.

[0069] In some embodiments, please refer to the reference Figure 1 and Figure 3 The material frame 200 includes a first limiting component 210 and a second limiting component 220. The first limiting component 210 and the second limiting component 220 form a receiving cavity 201 for receiving the box-shaped material 10. The first limiting component 210 is restricted to opposite sides of the box-shaped material 10 along a first direction, and the second limiting component 220 is restricted to opposite sides of the box-shaped material 10 along a second direction. The first direction and the second direction are horizontal and perpendicular to each other.

[0070] Based on Figure 1 The coordinate system described above is used to understand the first and second directions. The first direction can be the X direction, and the second direction can be the Y direction (of course, the first direction can also be the Y direction, and the second direction can be the X direction). According to the previous definition, the function of the first limiting component 210 is to restrict the box-shaped material 10 on both sides of its length direction, and the function of the second limiting component 220 is to restrict the box-shaped material 10 on both sides of its width direction. For simplicity, the two sides of the length direction can be the left and right sides, and the two sides of the width direction can be the front and rear sides. The left side corresponds to the opposite direction of the X direction, the right side corresponds to the X direction, the front side corresponds to the Y direction, and the rear side corresponds to the opposite direction of the Y direction.

[0071] As described above, the box-shaped material 10 can be constructed into a cuboid structure, and the box-shaped material 10 can be stably contained in the receiving cavity 201 by the limiting effect of the first limiting component 210 and the limiting effect of the second limiting component 220.

[0072] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The first limiting component 210 includes at least one first displacement adjusting component 211, which is used to adjust the size of the receiving cavity 201 along the first direction; the second limiting component 220 includes at least one second displacement adjusting component 221, which is used to adjust the size of the receiving cavity 201 along the second direction.

[0073] As described above, the first displacement adjustment component 211 can adjust the length of the receiving cavity 201, and the second displacement adjustment component 221 can adjust the width of the receiving cavity 201, thereby forming a receiving cavity 201 that can accommodate box-shaped materials 10 of various sizes and specifications.

[0074] The first displacement adjustment component 211 can be one or two. When using one, please refer to [the relevant documentation]. Figure 1 The first displacement adjustment component 211 can be located on the right side; the second displacement adjustment component 221 can be one or two. When using one, please refer to [the relevant documentation]. Figure 1 The second displacement adjustment component 221 can be located on the rear side.

[0075] In an embodiment employing two first displacement adjustment components 211, the two first displacement adjustment components 211 may be respectively arranged on the left and right sides. In an embodiment employing two second displacement adjustment components 221, the two second displacement adjustment components 221 may be respectively arranged on the front and rear sides.

[0076] To simplify the description and facilitate understanding, the following embodiments are illustrated by taking the first displacement adjustment component 211 as one and located on the right side, and the second displacement adjustment component 221 as one and located on the rear side.

[0077] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The first displacement adjustment component 211 includes a first enclosure 2111 and a first adjustment component 2112 for adjusting the position of the first enclosure 2111 in a first direction; the second displacement adjustment component 221 includes a second enclosure 2211 and a second adjustment component 2212 for adjusting the position of the second enclosure 2211 in a second direction.

[0078] The first enclosure 2111 restricts one side (e.g., the right side) of the box-shaped material 10, and the second enclosure 2211 restricts one side (e.g., the rear side) of the box-shaped material 10. The size of the receiving cavity 201 can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the first enclosure 2111 in the first direction by adjusting the position of the first enclosure 2111 in the first direction by adjusting the position of the second enclosure 2211 in the second direction by adjusting the position of the second enclosure 2212.

[0079] It can be understood that the first displacement adjustment component 211 and the second displacement adjustment component 221 mainly adjust the receiving cavity 201 by moving the relevant parts. Overall, the displacement change can be achieved automatically or manually.

[0080] For example, in some embodiments, the first displacement adjustment component 211 can be configured with a first displacement drive motor, which can be a servo motor. The output end of the first displacement drive motor can be connected to the movable part of the first displacement adjustment component 211 (e.g., the first enclosure 2111). A first guide rail is provided on the top plate 110, and the first displacement drive motor can drive the first enclosure 2111 to move along the first guide rail. Similarly, the second displacement adjustment component 221 can be configured with a second displacement drive motor, which can be a servo motor. The output end of the second displacement drive motor can be connected to the movable part of the second displacement adjustment component 221 (e.g., the second enclosure 2211). A second guide rail is provided on the top plate 110, and the second displacement drive motor can drive the second enclosure 2211 to move along the second guide rail.

[0081] For example, in some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 The bottom of the first enclosure 2111 has a first flange 2111a. The first adjustment component 2112 includes a first locking member 2112a, a plurality of first mounting holes 2112b spaced apart along a first direction on the first flange 2111a, and a plurality of second mounting holes 2112c spaced apart along a first direction on the frame 100. The first locking member 2112a is used to lock into one of the first mounting holes 2112b and one of the second mounting holes 2112c. The bottom of the second enclosure 2211 has a second flange 2211a. The second adjustment component 2212 includes a second locking member 2212a, a plurality of third mounting holes 2212b spaced apart along a second direction on the second flange 2211a, and a plurality of fourth mounting holes 2212c spaced apart along a second direction on the frame 100. The second locking member 2212a is used to lock into one of the third mounting holes 2212b and one of the fourth mounting holes 2212c.

[0082] The first mounting hole 2112b, the second mounting hole 2112c, the third mounting hole 2212b, and the fourth mounting hole 2212c can be threaded holes, and the first locking member 2112a and the second locking member 2212a can be screws or bolts. It is understood that by adjusting the correspondence between the first mounting hole 2112b and the second mounting hole 2112c and locking the first locking member 2112a into the first mounting hole 2112b and the second mounting hole 2112c, the position of the first enclosure member 2111 in the first direction can be changed; similarly, by adjusting the correspondence between the third mounting hole 2212b and the fourth mounting hole 2212c and locking the second locking member 2212a into the third mounting hole 2212b and the fourth mounting hole 2212c, the position of the second enclosure member 2211 in the second direction can be changed.

[0083] In some specific embodiments, please refer to Figure 3 The first mounting hole 2112b, the second mounting hole 2112c, the third mounting hole 2212b, and the fourth mounting hole 2212c can all be strip-shaped holes. The first mounting hole 2112b and the second mounting hole 2112c extend along a first direction, while the third mounting hole 2212b and the fourth mounting hole 2212c extend along a second direction. It is understood that when strip-shaped holes are used, the first mounting hole 2112b, the second mounting hole 2112c, the third mounting hole 2212b, and the fourth mounting hole 2212c can be a single hole; alternatively, they can be multiple parallel holes.

[0084] In some specific embodiments, in order to improve the restriction effect on the box-shaped material 10, there are multiple first enclosure members 2111 and they are spaced apart along the second direction, and there are multiple second enclosure members 2211 and they are spaced apart along the first direction.

[0085] In some specific embodiments, to improve the reliability of the first enclosure 2111 in different positions, multiple sets of first mounting holes 2112b can be provided on the first flange 2111a, and correspondingly, multiple sets of second mounting holes 2112c can be provided on the frame 100; to improve the reliability of the second enclosure 2211 in different positions, multiple sets of third mounting holes 2212b can be provided on the second flange 2211a, and correspondingly, multiple sets of fourth mounting holes 2212c can be provided on the frame 100.

[0086] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 The first limiting component 210 includes a first baffle 212 located on one side in the first direction, and the second limiting component 220 includes a second baffle 222 located on one side in the second direction. The first baffle 212 and the second baffle 222 abut against each other.

[0087] In the above embodiment, the first baffle 212 and the first displacement adjustment component 211 disposed on the right side form a first limiting component 210, and the second baffle 222 and the second displacement adjustment component 221 disposed on the rear side form a second limiting component 220.

[0088] Specifically, the first baffle 212 is located on the left side and the second baffle 222 is located on the front side. By abutting the first baffle 212 and the second baffle 222, a positioning reference for the receiving cavity 201 can be formed, so that when the box-shaped material 10 is placed in, the box-shaped material 10 can slide down or up from the inner wall surface of the first baffle 212 and the second baffle 222, thereby improving the stability of the box-shaped material 10 during the lifting process.

[0089] In some embodiments, the output end 310 of the drive mechanism 300 includes a flexible contact element, which may be made of materials such as rubber or silicone, and the flexible contact element contacts the bottom surface of the box-shaped material 10.

[0090] The flexible contact can form a flexible contact between the box-shaped material 10 and the output end 310, which can prevent the output end 310 from damaging the box-shaped material 10, and can also alleviate the force exerted by the output end 310 on the box-shaped material 10 for the first time, preventing the box-shaped material 10 from deforming due to excessive force.

[0091] In some embodiments, the feeding device further includes an electrostatic protection mechanism, which includes an electrostatic material layer disposed on the inner wall surface of the material frame 200 and / or a grounding element connected to the frame 100.

[0092] The electrostatic protection mechanism can provide electrostatic protection for the material frame 200, so that the circuit board can be placed into the box-shaped material 10 and subsequent packaging processes are not affected by electrostatic interference, thus protecting the circuit board and other components.

[0093] The choice of materials for the electrostatic material layer and the specific structure of the grounding components can be set according to requirements. The overall goal is to create a working environment that is not affected by static electricity.

[0094] In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 1 The feeding device also includes a control system 400, which can be installed on the frame 100, specifically on the top plate 110 of the frame 100. The control system 400 can include a control circuit board, a display screen, and other structures. The control circuit board is electrically connected to the drive mechanism 300 and can control the start and stop of the drive mechanism 300, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering of the box-shaped material 10 in the material frame 200.

[0095] In some embodiments, a position sensor, an infrared sensor, or other detection structure can be provided at the top of the material frame 200 so that after the box-shaped material 10 at the top is transported away, the detection structure can obtain information about the empty space at the top, thereby enabling the box-shaped material 10 to rise autonomously in the material frame 200 in an automated manner.

[0096] Of course, a pressure sensor can also be installed on the top of the drive mechanism 300 to achieve the above purpose. The pressure sensor can sense the total weight of the box-shaped material 10 in the material frame 200. When the weight is detected to be reduced, a control signal can be generated to make the drive mechanism 300 drive the box-shaped material 10 to rise.

[0097] The foregoing has provided a detailed description of a feeding device for box-shaped materials provided in this application. Specific examples have been used to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of this application. The descriptions of the embodiments above are merely for the purpose of helping to understand the method and core ideas of this application. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications to this application without departing from its principles, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the protection scope of this application.
