The support seats 5 are two parallel arranged, and a groove 1 is provided on the support seat 5. A worm 7 is provided between the two support seats 5, and one end of the worm 7 is rotatably connected to the groove 1 on the support seat 5 close to the guard plate 2, and the other end of the worm 7 passes through the support seat 5 away from the guard plate 2 and extends out a part of its length, in order to connect with the subsequent equipment that provides kinetic energy, and a motor 9 is provided at the other end of the worm 7, and the motor 9 is fixedly connected to the back plate 3, and the output shaft of the motor 9 is fixedly connected to the end of the worm 7 away from the guard plate 2, and the motor 9 can drive the worm 7 to rotate, and a support seat 2 6 is provided on one side of the support seat 5, and the support seat 2 6 is connected to The support plate 4 is fixedly connected, and the support seats 2 6 are also two parallelly arranged. A groove 2 is provided on the support seat 2 6. A worm 2 8 is provided between the two support seats 2 6. Both ends of the worm 2 8 are slidably connected to the groove 2. The worm 2 8 cooperates with the worm 1 7. The rotation of the worm 1 7 can drive the worm 2 8 to move forward and backward. The length of the worm 2 8 is greater than the length of the worm 1 7, and the diameter of the worm 2 8 is smaller than the diameter of the worm 1 7. The end of the worm 2 8 close to the guard plate 2 is fixedly connected to the limiting plate 10. The limiting plate 10 includes a vertical plate 14 and a horizontal plate 15. The vertical plate 14 and the horizontal plate 15 are used to limit the LED board. The guard plate 2 is provided with a groove 11 near the worm 2 8. The groove 11 is adapted to the worm 2 8, so that the worm 2 8 fits with the conveyor belt 1 during the forward and backward movement.

[0026] The working principle of the utility model:

[0027] In the process of patching the LED board, it is generally necessary to set the parameters first, then dispense glue on the LED board, and then perform the patch procedure. After the dispensing procedure is completed, the clamping mechanism directly transfers the dispensed LED board from the dispensing machine to the patch machine through the conveyor belt 1, and then clamps and fixes the LED board, realizing an integrated process from dispensing to patch clamping of the LED board. In the process of transmission, the motor 9 is first started, and the output end of the motor 9 drives the worm 1 7 to rotate. Since the worm 1 7 and the worm 2 8 cooperate, the rotation of the worm 1 7 drives the worm 2 8 to move forward and backward relative to the support seat 2 6, thereby driving the limit plate 10 to move longitudinally on the conveyor belt 1, and then the limit plate 10 is extended out of a part of the slot 11. When the conveyor belt 1 transports the LED board to a certain position, due to the existence of the vertical plate 14, the LED board will be blocked from continuing to move forward. At this time, the LED board is horizontally limited. When the sensing device senses that the LED board has reached the specified horizontal position, the conveyor belt 1 stops operating;

[0028] Then start the motor 9 again, let the worm gear 1 7 drive the worm gear 2 8 to continue to extend, so that the horizontal plate 15 pushes the LED board to move vertically, until the LED board moves to conflict with the abutment plate 3, and the motor 9 stops working. At this time, the LED board reaches the final position, and the cooperation between the worm gear 1 7 and the worm gear 2 8 makes the displacement of the LED board smooth, thereby avoiding damage to the LED board during the clamping process, and due to the cooperation between the horizontal plate 14 and the vertical plate 15 as well as the abutment plate 3, the LED board is fixed in the specified position, and then the placement machine starts the subsequent program to place components on the LED board. When the LED board has finished placing components, the motor 9 reverses, so that the worm gear 1 7 drives the worm gear 2 8 to retract to the specified original position, and then the conveyor belt 1 continues to drive, the LED board that has been placed is transported away, and the next LED board that needs to be placed continues to be transported forward, and so on and so forth, continuing the above steps and processes to realize the placement of LED boards produced in large quantities.

[0029] The above is a detailed description of an embodiment of the utility model, but the content is only a preferred embodiment of the utility model and cannot be considered to limit the scope of implementation of the utility model. All equivalent changes and improvements made within the scope of application of the utility model should still fall within the scope of the patent coverage of the utility model.
