[0003] The existing PCB carrier is a rectangular structure, and the size of its internal space is generally fixed and usually larger than the size of the PCB product to be loaded. The size cannot be adjusted according to the needs of use. In addition, since the PCB circuit board product has a large activity space inside the carrier, the carrier does not have the ability to fix the PCB circuit board product and prevent the product from slipping. Therefore, when transporting or moving, the PCB circuit board product in the carrier will slip and collide with the carrier, resulting in the risk of scratches and damage to the PCB circuit board surface. Therefore, how to adjust the size of the PCB carrier so that the PCB carrier can fix the PCB circuit board product to be processed is a technical difficulty that urgently needs to be solved in the industry.

[0022] In the description of the present invention, unless otherwise clearly defined, terms such as setting, installing, connecting, etc. should be understood in a broad sense, and technicians in the relevant technical field can reasonably determine the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention based on the specific content of the technical solution.

[0023] like Figure 1 As shown, the first embodiment of the utility model provides an adjustable PCB carrier and an industrial computer, including a base 100, a carrier plate 200 installed on the base 100, and an adjustment component 300 arranged between the base 100 and the carrier plate 200, the adjustment component 300 includes a drive motor (310-312), a lead screw (340-343), a slider (320-324) and an L-shaped baffle 330, the drive motor (310-312) and the slider (320-324) are respectively connected to the lead screw (340-343), the L-shaped baffle 330 is arranged on the slider (320-324), the drive motor (310-312) drives the lead screw (340-343) to rotate, and the control slider (320-324) and the L-shaped baffle 330 are used in conjunction to indicate that the board placement area in the carrier plate 200 is the size of the PCB circuit board to be loaded.

[0024] The adjustable PCB carrier drives the slider (320-324) to move along a preset direction on the lead screw (340-343) through the driving motor (310-312) in the adjustment component 300, thereby using the L-shaped baffle plate 330 to adjust the size of the board placement area in the carrier plate 200, so that the PCB carrier can adapt to PCB circuit boards of different sizes.

[0025] In the embodiment of the utility model, the preset direction refers to the length direction or width direction of the adjustable PCB carrier, and the specific selection is adjusted according to the size of the PCB circuit board. It can be understood that if the size of the PCB circuit board is wider or narrower, the adjustable PCB carrier drives the first slider 320 to move up and down on the first lead screw 340 through the first drive motor 310 in the adjustment component 300 to adjust the length direction of the PCB carrier, drives the fourth slider 323 and the fifth slider 324 to move left and right on the second lead screw 341 through the second drive motor 311 in the adjustment component 300, and cooperates with the L-shaped baffle 330 to adjust the lower width direction of the PCB carrier, drives the second slider 321 and the third slider 322 to move left and right on the third lead screw 342 through the third drive motor 311 in the adjustment component 300, and cooperates with the L-shaped baffle 330 to adjust the upper width direction of the PCB carrier, thereby adjusting the length and / or width of the board placement area in the carrier plate 200 to adapt to PCB circuit boards of different lengths and / or widths.

[0026] The adjustable PCB carrier of the utility model is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the device inputs the length and width dimensions of the PCB circuit board product to be loaded on the control panel 400 in the PCB carrier, and transmits the dimension data to the industrial computer. The industrial computer controls the first drive motor 310 to drive the first lead screw 340 to rotate, and controls the first slider 320 to move to the specified position along the long side direction. Then the industrial computer controls the second drive motor 311 to drive the second lead screw 341 to rotate, and controls the fourth slider 323 and the fifth slider 324 to move to the specified position. Finally, the industrial computer controls the third drive motor 311 to drive the third lead screw 342 to rotate, and controls the second slider 321 and the third slider 322 to move to the specified position. Then, the size of the area surrounded by the L-shaped baffle 330 on the second slider 321, the third slider 322, the fourth slider 323 and the fifth slider 324 is the size of the PCB circuit board product to be loaded, and the board is stored in the area surrounded by the baffle, thereby realizing the rapid and accurate adjustment of the size of the PCB carrier, ensuring the loading and fixation of PCB circuit board products of different sizes, preventing the product from slipping, and reducing the scrap rate of board scratches and board damage.

[0027] In this embodiment, an adjustment component is set according to the size of the PCB circuit board product, and the L-shaped baffle 330 in the adjustment component and the board placement area in the carrier plate 200 form a fixed frame that can be loaded with the PCB circuit board, thereby limiting the shaking of the PCB circuit board. A carrier plate is set, and a driving motor (310-312), a slider (320-324) and a lead screw (340-343) are set, and the relative position between the driving motor (310-312), the slider (320-324) and the lead screw (340-343) and the carrier plate is adjustable. By adjusting the relative position relationship between the driving motor (310-312), the slider (320-324) and the lead screw (340-343) in the adjustment component and the carrier plate, the carrier plate and the adjustment component can form PCB carriers of different sizes. Therefore, by changing the relative position relationship between the adjustment component and the carrier plate, the carrier can be adapted to PCB circuit boards of different sizes. Therefore, when it is necessary to process different PCB circuit boards, the relative position between the carrier plate and the adjustment component is changed to obtain a carrier that is compatible with the current PCB circuit board. In summary, an adjustable PCB carrier is set up, and the relative position relationship between the adjustment component and the carrier plate is changed, so that different PCB circuit boards can be adapted, which solves the problem that the size of the PCB carrier cannot be adjusted, resulting in the PCB carrier being unable to fix the PCB circuit board product to be processed. Therefore, the applicability is improved, the size of the PCB carrier can be adjusted quickly and accurately, and the loading and fixation of PCB circuit board products of different sizes are guaranteed, so that the product does not slip, and the board scratch and board damage scrap rate are reduced, thereby reducing the processing cost of the entire processing process.
