[0020] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the FPC circuit board transfer mechanism of the utility model includes a conveyor belt 1 and a transfer member 2. The transfer member 2 is arranged on the conveyor belt 1. The conveyor belt 1 is vertically arranged and is arranged just above and in front of the worker's workbench so that it can be transferred in the air, saving space and being convenient for the worker to take and assemble.

[0022] The transfer member 2 is composed of a mounting section 3, a fixed section 4 and a limiting section 5 arranged at both ends of the mounting section 3, and the angle between the fixed section 4 and the mounting section 3, and the angle between the limiting section 5 and the mounting section 3 are both less than 90°. A hollow area 6 is formed between the fixed section 4 and the limiting section 5. The mounting section 3 is arranged on the conveyor belt 1, and a support section 7 extending into the hollow area 6 is arranged on the fixed section 4.

[0023] The mounting section 3 is provided with symmetrical elastic sections 8, a clamping area 9 is formed between the elastic sections 8, and a retaining section 10 is provided on the elastic section 8 extending into the clamping area 9. An accommodating opening 11 is formed between the elastic section 8 and the retaining section 10. The angle between the elastic section 8 and the mounting section 3 is less than 90°, and the angle between the retaining section 10 and the elastic section 8 is less than 90°. It is convenient for the elastic section 8 and the retaining section 10 to clamp the conveyor belt 1, so that the transfer member 2 is placed on the conveyor belt 1 under force.

[0024] like Figure 5 As shown, during installation, the transfer member 2 is first rotated in the F direction by a certain angle, and then the elastic section 8 at the upper end is placed on the conveyor belt 1, and then rotated in the opposite direction of the F direction, and the elastic section 8 at the lower end and the retaining section 10 are kept buckled to the conveyor belt 1, so that the transfer member 2 is installed on the conveyor belt 1. The number of transfer members 2 set on the conveyor belt 1 and the spacing between the transfer members 2 can be changed according to actual needs.

[0025] The limiting section 5 is provided with a pressure section 12, a guide section 13 and a guide section 14, a guide opening 15 is formed between the guide section 14 and the support section 7, the guide section 13 and the pressure section 12 are connected by an arc section 16, and a limiting area 17 is formed between the arc section 16 and the support section 7.
