[0024] like Figure 1-5As shown, a compact PCB fixture vertical conveying device includes a fixture 1, an upper guide mechanism 2 arranged above the fixture 1 and a lower transmission mechanism 3 arranged below the fixture 1, the substrate is loaded on the fixture 1, the upper guide mechanism 2 is used to support the upper end of the fixture 1 and guide the fixture 1 to move, the lower transmission mechanism 3 is used to drive the fixture 1 to move, and includes a spiral gear 1 31, a spiral gear 2 32, a driven shaft 33, and a conveying wheel 34, the spiral gear 1 31 is connected to the driving member, and the spiral gear 1 31 is arranged below the spiral gear 2 32 and meshes with the spiral gear 2 32 for transmission, the spiral gear 2 32 is arranged in the middle of the driven shaft 33, the conveying wheel 34 is provided with one, which is located on one side of the driven shaft 33, and the conveying wheel 34 is rollingly connected to the bottom of the fixture 1. When working, the drive drives the helical gear 1 31 to rotate, and the rotation of the helical gear 1 31 drives the helical gear 2 32 matched therewith to rotate, so that the driven shaft 33 and the conveying wheel 34 arranged on the driven shaft 33 rotate, and the conveying wheel 34 rotates to drive the clamp 1 to move, so as to realize the conveying of the clamp 1. The transmission mode of this helical gear has a compact structure, good meshing performance, stable transmission, low noise, and high load-bearing capacity. The conveying device of the utility model adopts vertical conveying, and the conveying wheel 34 does not contact the circuit board, and will not cause damage to the circuit board. The structure is simple and compact, and the space occupied is small. In the process of the clamp moving, the upper end of the clamp 1 is supported by the upper guide mechanism 2 and the clamp 1 is guided to move, so that the clamp conveying is stable and the conveying is stable.

[0025] Among them, Figure 1-2 As shown in FIG. 5 , there are multiple helical gears 1 31 , which are evenly arranged along the axial direction of the transmission shaft 35 . The transmission shaft 35 is connected to the driving member through a coupling. There are also multiple helical gears 2 32 , which are arranged one by one corresponding to the helical gears 1 31 , and are evenly arranged along the conveying direction of the fixture 1 . The transmission shaft 35 is vertically arranged to the driven shaft 33 .

[0026] Among them, Figure 4-5 As shown, a V-shaped guide groove 341 is provided on the outer side of the conveying wheel 34 , and a guide strip 11 extending along the moving direction of the clamp 1 is provided at the bottom of the clamp 1 . The guide strip 11 is embedded in the guide groove 341 and matches with the guide groove 341 .

[0027] In this embodiment, the drive is a servo motor, which drives the transmission shaft 35 to rotate, and the multiple helical gears 31 on the slave drive transmission shaft 35 rotate. The rotation of the helical gear 31 drives the helical gear 2 32 matched therewith to rotate, thereby driving the multiple conveying wheels 34 to rotate. The rotation of the multiple conveying wheels 34 drives the clamp 1 to move along the conveying direction. During the conveying process, the upper end of the clamp 1 is supported and guided by the upper guide mechanism 2, and the bottom is guided by the guide groove 341. The upper and lower combined guiding method is adopted, and the conveying is more stable. And a conveying wheel 34 is set on each driven shaft 33 to realize the conveying of the clamp. The overall structure is compact and easy to install, which greatly reduces the equipment cost.

The driven shaft 33 is supported by the transmission side plate 36 to ensure the stability of the overall structure.

[0030] In the above structure, the bearing 37 is a ceramic bearing. Ceramic bearings are hard, wear-resistant, and corrosion-resistant, and are more suitable for the production environment of circuit boards, and have a longer service life than ordinary bearings.

[0031] In addition, the surfaces of the helical gear 1 31 and the helical gear 2 32 are both electrolytically polished. This process can improve the corrosion resistance of the helical gears and prevent the liquid medicine in the manufacturing process from damaging the helical gears, thereby increasing their service life.

[0032] like Figure 1-3 As shown, the upper guide mechanism 2 includes a guide seat plate 21 and guide wheels 22. The guide seat plate 21 is a U-shaped groove plate, and a plurality of guide wheels 22 are arranged in parallel in pairs at the bottom thereof. The upper end of the clamp 1 passes between the guide wheels 22 arranged in pairs. The upper guide mechanism 2 can guide the movement of the clamp 1 and prevent the upper end of the clamp 1 from swaying during the movement of the clamp 1, thereby improving the conveying stability of the clamp 1.
