DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0028] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the utility model to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the utility model, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the utility model, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the utility model.
[0029] Embodiment 1:
[0030] See also Figure 1-5, an FPC feeder, comprising a main body 1, a humidifying and de-staticizing mechanism, a sealing and dust-proof mechanism and an operating mechanism, the humidifying and de-staticizing mechanism comprising a water tank 2, a humidifier 3, a hygrometer 4, an exhaust fan 5 and a closing window 6, the water tank 2 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the main body 1, the humidifier 3 is installed on both sides of the water tank 2, the hygrometer 4 is fixedly installed inside the main body 1, the exhaust fan 5 is installed on both sides of the main body 1, the closing window 6 is installed together with the exhaust fan 5, the sealing and dust-proof mechanism comprises a sealing door 7, a spring 8, a fixing frame 9 and a limit block 10, the sealing door 7 is installed on the main body 1 and is slidably connected to the main body 1, the spring 8 is installed inside the door panel and the other end is fixedly connected to the fixing frame 9, the fixing frame 9 is installed inside the sealing door 7 and is slidably connected to the sealing door 7, the limit block 10 is fixedly installed on the lower side of the sealing door 7, and the limit block 10 is slidably connected to the main body 1.
[0031] In this embodiment, the humidification and de-staticization mechanism includes a water tank 2, a humidifier 3, a hygrometer 4, an exhaust fan 5 and a closing window 6. When in use, water is added to the water inlet pipe 20 on the water tank 2 located below the partition 19, and then the humidifier 3 is started. At this time, the humidifier 3 converts the water inside the water tank 2 into extremely fine water mist through ultrasound. At this time, the hygrometer 4 inside the main body 1 starts working to monitor the humidity inside the main body 1. When the humidity exceeds the standard, the closing window 6 located on the main body 1 opens, and the exhaust fan 5 starts working to dissipate the excess water vapor inside the main body 1 to the outside to ensure the humidity balance inside the main body 1. It is also necessary to observe the liquid level display port 21 to see the amount of water inside the water tank 2.
[0032] In this embodiment, the sealing and dustproof mechanism includes a sealing door 7, a spring 8, a fixing frame 9 and a limiting block 10. When in use, when the humidifier 3 starts to work, the sealing plates 18 on both sides of the feed port 15 and the material exchange port 16 are closed, and then the sealing door 7 is closed. In the process of closing the sealing door 7, the limiting block 10 at the bottom of the sealing door 7 slides inside the limiting slide groove 22 on the main body 1. When the bearing plate 24 on the sealing door 7 contacts the main body 1, the fixing frame 9 is directly pulled at this time, and then the bearing plate 24 is close to the main body 1, and then the fixing frame 9 is released to complete the fixation. In this process, when the fixing frame 9 is pulled, the spring 8 is compressed, and the block 26 on the fixing frame 9 is also inserted into the card hole 23 inside the main body 1, and the positioning block 27 also slides inside the positioning slide groove 25 inside the bearing plate 24 to ensure the correct sliding position of the fixing frame 9.
[0033] In this embodiment, the operating mechanism includes a slide rail 11, a sliding base 12, a robotic arm 13 and a conveyor belt 14. When in use, the sliding base 12 slides inside the slide rail 11, thereby driving the robotic arm 13 to move on the sliding base 12 and grab the material on the conveyor belt, and then take the material to the operation room 17 for subsequent processing. In this process, the sliding base 12 moves as a whole, so that the position change of the robotic arm 13 is more flexible, and the material on the conveyor belt 14 is packaged in a box, and then after opening the sealing plate, it is placed on the conveyor belt 14 at the feed port 15, and then the material inside the replacement box is discharged at the material change port 16.
[0034] Embodiment 2:
[0035] In summary, when in use, the sealing plates 18 on both sides of the feed port 15 and the material exchange port 16 are closed, and then the sealing door 7 is closed. In the process of closing the sealing door 7, the limiting block 10 at the bottom of the sealing door 7 slides inside the limiting slide groove 22 on the main body 1. When the bearing plate 24 on the sealing door 7 contacts the main body 1, the fixing frame 9 is directly pulled at this time, and then the bearing plate 24 is close to the main body 1, and then the fixing frame 9 is released to complete the fixation. In this process, when the fixing frame 9 is pulled, the spring 8 is compressed, and the clamping block 26 on the fixing frame 9 is also inserted into the clamping hole 23 inside the main body 1, and the positioning block 27 also slides inside the positioning slide groove 25 inside the bearing plate 24 to ensure that the sliding position of the fixing frame 9 is correct. Then, humidification of the inside of the main body 1 is started. At this time, water is added to the water inlet pipe 20 on the water tank 2 located under the partition 19, and then the humidifier 3 is started. At this time, the humidifier 3 converts the water inside the water tank 2 into extremely fine water mist through ultrasonic waves. At this time, the hygrometer 4 inside the main body 1 starts to work to monitor the humidity inside the main body 1. When the humidity exceeds the standard, the closed window 6 on the main body 1 opens, and the exhaust fan 5 starts working to dissipate the excess water vapor inside the main body 1 to the outside to ensure the humidity balance inside the main body 1. It is also necessary to observe the liquid level display port 21 to see the water volume inside the water tank 2. When the humidity inside the main body 1 is stable, the inside of the main body 1 is no longer affected by the dry environment and is prone to static electricity. At this time, loading begins, and the sliding base 12 slides inside the slide rail 11, thereby driving the mechanical arm 13 to move on the sliding base 12 and grab the material on the conveyor belt, and then take the material to the operating room 17 for subsequent processing. In this process, the sliding base 12 moves as a whole, making the position change of the mechanical arm 13 more flexible, and the material on the conveyor belt 14 is packaged in a box, and then after opening the sealing plate, it is placed on the conveyor belt 14 at the feed port 15, and then the material inside the replacement box is discharged at the material change port 16.
[0036] In all the schemes mentioned above, the connection between two parts can be selected according to actual conditions by welding, bolt and nut matching connection, bolt or screw connection or other well-known connection methods, which are not described one by one here. In the above, all fixed connections are preferably welded. Although the embodiments of the utility model have been shown and described, it can be understood by ordinary technicians in this field that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principle and spirit of the utility model. The scope of the utility model is defined by the attached claims and their equivalents.
