[0019] A turning assembly, which is arranged on the frame 1 and is used to turn over the FPC soft board;

[0020] Among them, the flipping assembly includes a fixed frame 4 and a connecting frame 11, which are both installed on the top of the frame 1, and a conveying device 3 is arranged between the fixed frame 4 and the frame 1, a sleeve 5 is installed on the top of the fixed frame 4, and a movable rod 6 is sleeved in the middle of the sleeve 5, and a connecting plate 7 is installed on the top of the movable rod 6, and a pneumatic lifting device 8 is installed on one side of the connecting plate 7, and a fixed plate 9 is installed on the bottom of the pneumatic lifting device 8, and the fixed plate 9 is connected to the fixed frame 4, the bottom of the movable rod 6 passes through the fixed frame 4 and is installed with a pressure wheel 10, and a guide plate 12 is installed on one side of the connecting frame 11.

[0021] The FPC soft board will be transported by the operation of the conveying device 3. After the FPC soft board moves to the position of the guide plate 12, the connection plate 7 will be driven up and down by the lifting of the pneumatic lifting device 8, so that the pressure wheel 10 can be driven by the movable rod 6 to release the squeezing of the FPC soft board, so that the FPC soft board will gradually slide down along the curved surface of the guide plate 12 until it is inserted into the grid at the top of the hanging basket 2, and then the FPC soft board can be turned 90° to facilitate the drainage of the FPC soft board.

[0022] The pressing wheel 10 is in extrusion contact with the FPC soft board, and the guide plate 12 is located directly above the hanging basket 2 .

[0023] Through the cooperation between the pressure wheel 10 and the FPC soft board, when the FPC soft board moves the position of the guide plate 12, the pressure on the FPC soft board is released by the pressure wheel 10, and one end of the FPC soft board will be tilted to one side under the influence of gravity, and through the arc on the outer side of the guide plate 12, it is convenient for the FPC soft board to be inserted into the hanging basket 2.
