Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of electronic carrier technology, and more particularly to a carrier tape for electronic components. Background Technology
[0002] Electronic component carrier tape is a commonly used packaging material in surface mount technology (SMT), primarily used to carry small electronic components such as chips, resistors, and capacitors to facilitate subsequent automated placement. Existing carrier tapes typically have pockets on their surface for placing components and indexing holes on both sides for movement. In actual production and logistics, electronic components require different packaging methods depending on the application scenario, such as: reel packaging (suitable for automated SMT placement), tray packaging (suitable for high-volume, multi-variety placement), tubular packaging (suitable for long, narrow components or manual insertion), and bulk packaging (suitable for repair, small-batch production, or defective product replacement).
[0003] However, existing carrier tape structures often only accommodate one or two packaging methods. For example, traditional carrier tapes are typically wound into reels, making them difficult to stack directly for pallet packaging or insert into plastic tubes. In tubular packaging, components or carrier tapes can easily move within the tube, leading to pin deformation or electrostatic damage. Switching between different packaging methods requires changing different carrier tapes or accessories, increasing the variety of materials and operational complexity. Since carrier tapes are often continuous structures, individual damaged tapes are difficult to replace, frequently resulting in the scrapping of entire rolls or strips, causing waste.
[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for an electronic component carrier tape structure that can adapt to various packaging methods such as tape, tray, tubular and bulk packaging, and is easy to disassemble and reliably fixed. Summary of the Invention
[0005] This invention provides an electronic component carrier tape, which solves the problems in the background art.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: An electronic component carrier tape includes a pocket and an indexing hole disposed on the surface of the carrier tape body, and mounting blocks and connecting blocks are respectively disposed on both sides of the carrier tape body; The inner wall of the mounting block is rotatably connected to a screw, and the two sides of the screw are symmetrically threaded with movable blocks. A first connecting plate is fixedly connected to one side of the movable block, and an anti-slip rod is provided on one side of the first connecting plate, which is in contact with the two sides of the inner wall of the plastic tube. The screw has a first bevel gear mounted on its surface, and a second bevel gear is meshed with the surface of the first bevel gear. A sleeve is fixedly connected to the surface of the second bevel gear, and a positioning rod is threaded inside the sleeve. The connecting block has a positioning hole that contacts the positioning rod. The bottom end of the movable block is hinged to a connecting strip, and the bottom end of the connecting strip is hinged to a second connecting plate. The bottom end of the second connecting plate is symmetrically provided with docking rods, and the top end of the carrier belt body is symmetrically provided with docking holes that contact the docking rods.
[0007] Preferably, the inner wall of the mounting block is fixedly connected to a positioning plate that is rotatably connected to the sleeve.
[0008] Preferably, the top of the mounting block is provided with a first sliding groove, and the top of the first sliding groove is slidably connected to a first slider that is fixedly connected to the top of the moving block.
[0009] Preferably, the threads on both sides of the screw surface are arranged in opposite directions.
[0010] Preferably, the surface of the mounting block is provided with a mounting shell, and the screw passes through the mounting shell and is connected to a ratchet. The interior of the mounting shell is rotatably connected to two rotating tubes, and the surfaces of the two rotating tubes are respectively connected to pawls that contact the surface of the ratchet. The rotating tubes pass through the mounting shell and are connected to a knob.
[0011] Preferably, the inside of the rotating tube is provided with a torsion spring and a fixing rod, and the fixing rod is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting shell, while the two ends of the torsion spring are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating tube and the surface of the fixing rod, respectively.
[0012] Preferably, the two pawls respectively limit the forward and reverse directions of the ratchet.
[0013] Preferably, the mounting block has grooves on both sides, and a spring is fixedly connected inside the groove. A T-shaped rod is provided on one side of the spring, and a connecting hole is provided on both sides of the connecting block to be movably connected to the T-shaped rod.
[0014] Preferably, the top of the mounting block has a second groove, and a second slider that is fixedly connected to the top of the positioning rod is slidably connected inside the second groove.
[0015] In summary, due to the adoption of the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: In this invention, by rotating the screw in the forward direction, the moving block can drive the anti-slip rod out from inside the mounting block, so that it contacts both sides of the inner wall of the rectangular anti-static plastic tube. While the screw is rotating, it can also rotate through two bevel gears and the sleeve, inserting the positioning rod into the positioning hole, so that the carrier tape is fixed inside the plastic tube in the form of a "vertical plate". The anti-slip rod provides friction to prevent the carrier tape from shaking inside the tube and avoid component collision or electrostatic adsorption. It is especially suitable for components that are sensitive to vibration or require manual insertion.
[0016] In this invention, by rotating the screw in the opposite direction, the moving block can drive the anti-slip rod and positioning rod to move into the interior of the mounting block. While the moving block moves towards the center of the screw, it can also drive the connecting strip, the second connecting plate, and the docking rod to move downwards. This allows the docking rod to be inserted and engaged with the docking hole, enabling multiple carrier belt bodies to be stacked vertically in sequence and placed as a whole inside the pallet. The stacked carrier belts are mutually restrained by the docking structure, making them less prone to misalignment or collapse, thereby saving pallet space and improving warehousing and transportation efficiency.
[0017] In this invention, by removing the T-shaped rod from the connecting hole, the adjacent carrier belts can be independently separated, which facilitates bulk transportation or on-demand use. At the same time, if a carrier belt body or internal component is damaged, it is not necessary to scrap the entire carrier belt. The damaged part can be directly removed and replaced with a new individual carrier belt, which significantly reduces maintenance costs and material waste.
[0018] In this invention, by movably connecting the T-shaped rod to the connecting hole, adjacent carrier tapes can be flipped and moved relative to each other, thereby enabling multiple carrier tapes to be continuously wound into a reel, meeting the needs of SMT automatic placement equipment for tape feeding, while keeping the index holes on both sides exposed so as not to affect gear transmission.

Detailed Implementation
[0021] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0022] Reference Figures 1-9An electronic component carrier tape includes a pocket and an indexing hole on the surface of a carrier tape body 1. Mounting blocks 2 and connecting blocks 3 are respectively provided on both sides of the carrier tape body 1. A screw 4 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the mounting block 2, and movable blocks 5 are symmetrically threaded to both sides of the surface of the screw 4. A first connecting plate 6 is fixedly connected to one side of the movable block 5, and an anti-slip rod 7 is provided on one side of the first connecting plate 6, with the two sides of the inner wall of a plastic tube in contact with each other. A first bevel gear 8 is mounted on the surface of the screw 4, and a second bevel gear 9 is meshed with the surface of the first bevel gear 8. A sleeve is fixedly connected to the surface of the second bevel gear 9. 10, and the internal thread of the sleeve 10 is connected to a positioning rod 11, and the surface of the connecting block 3 is provided with a positioning hole 12 that contacts the positioning rod 11; the bottom end of the moving block 5 is hinged to a connecting strip 13, and the bottom end of the connecting strip 13 is hinged to a second connecting plate 14, and the bottom end of the second connecting plate 14 is symmetrically provided with a docking rod 15, and the top end of the carrier body 1 is symmetrically provided with a docking hole 16 that contacts the docking rod 15. By rotating the screw 4 in the forward direction (at this time, the T-shaped rod 27 is connected to the connecting hole 28), the first bevel gear 8 connected to its surface can drive the second bevel gear 9 and the sleeve 10 to rotate. The positioning rod 11, which is internally threaded to the sleeve 10, is moved to the positioning hole 12 on the surface of the adjacent connecting block 3. This allows multiple carrier tape bodies 1 to be spliced together in the form of "vertical plates". While the screw 4 rotates vertically, it also causes the moving block 5, which is threaded to its surface, to move the first connecting plate 6 and the anti-slip rod 7. This allows the anti-slip rod 7 to be moved out of the mounting block 2 and into contact with the inner wall of the rectangular plastic tube, facilitating the fixing of the "vertical plate" carrier tape body 1 inside the rectangular plastic tube. By rotating the screw 4 in the reverse direction (at which point the T-shaped rod 27 is removed from the connecting hole 28 and presents...), the carrier tape body 1 can be spliced together in the form of "vertical plates". In the stacked state, the movable block 5 on the surface of the screw 4 can be moved toward the center section of the screw 4, the anti-slip rod 7 can be moved into the interior of the mounting block 2, and the positioning rod 11 can be removed from the interior of the positioning hole 12. When the movable block 5 moves toward the center section of the screw 4, it can drive the connecting strip 13 and the second connecting plate 14 to move downwards, so that the docking rod 15 at the bottom of the second connecting plate 14 can be moved out from the interior of the mounting block 2 and moved into the docking hole 16 at the top of the next carrier body 1. Thus, each carrier body 1 can be stacked together, which is convenient for placing in the tray or other container for transportation.
[0023] Furthermore, the inner wall of the mounting block 2 is fixedly connected to a positioning plate 17 that is rotatably connected to the sleeve 10. The positioning plate 17 is used to support and position the sleeve 10 so that the sleeve 10 can be limited to rotate.
[0024] Furthermore, the top of the mounting block 2 is provided with a first groove 18, and the inside of the first groove 18 is slidably connected to a first slider 19 which is fixedly connected to the top of the movable block 5. This is to facilitate the movable block 5, which is threadedly connected to the surface of the screw 4, to move within the first groove 18 through the first slider 19 when the screw 4 is rotating.
[0025] Furthermore, the threads on both sides of the screw 4 surface are arranged in opposite directions, which facilitates the movement block 5 connected to the screw 4 surface threads to move in opposite directions at the same time.
[0026] Furthermore, the surface of the mounting block 2 is provided with a mounting shell 20, and the screw 4 passes through the mounting shell 20 and is connected to a ratchet 21. The interior of the mounting shell 20 is rotatably connected to two rotating tubes 22, and the surfaces of the two rotating tubes 22 are respectively connected to pawls 23 that are in contact with the surface of the ratchet 21. The rotating tubes 22 pass through the mounting shell 20 and are connected to a knob 24. By driving the rotating tubes 22, the pawls 23 on their surfaces are moved away from the surface of the ratchet 21, so that the knob 24 can drive the rotating tubes 22 to rotate.
[0027] Furthermore, a torsion spring 29 and a fixing rod 30 are respectively provided inside the rotating tube 22. The fixing rod 30 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the mounting shell 20, and the two ends of the torsion spring 29 are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the rotating tube 22 and the surface of the fixing rod 30, respectively. The torsion spring 29 facilitates the reset of the rotating tube 22, so that the pawl 23 on the surface of the rotating tube 22 can be moved to the surface of the ratchet 21 and fixed thereon.
[0028] Furthermore, the two pawls 23 respectively limit the forward and reverse directions of the ratchet 21, which facilitates the limiting of the screw 4 and prevents the screw 4 from shaking under vibration or other conditions.
[0029] Furthermore, grooves 25 are provided on both sides of the mounting block 2, and springs 26 are fixedly connected inside the grooves 25. A T-shaped rod 27 is provided on one side of the spring 26, and connecting holes 28 are provided on both sides of the connecting block 3 to be movably connected to the T-shaped rod 27. This is to facilitate the connection of the T-shaped rod 27 with the connecting hole 28 so that the carrier tape body 1 can be wound on the reel. Conversely, if the T-shaped rod 27 is removed from the inside of the connecting hole 28, the carrier tape body 1 can be individually packaged, and some damaged carrier tape bodies 1 can also be replaced.
[0030] Furthermore, a second sliding groove is provided at the top of the inner part of the mounting block 2, and a second slider is slidably connected to the top of the positioning rod 11. This allows the positioning rod 11 to move inside the second sliding groove via the second slider when the sleeve 10 rotates, and the positioning rod 11 can move into the positioning hole 12.
[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention, but the scope of protection of the present invention is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or modifications made by those skilled in the art within the scope of the technology disclosed in the present invention, based on the technical solution and inventive concept of the present invention, should be covered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
