The existing carrier tape includes a sheet made of a layer of plastic material and grooves formed on the upper surface thereof. Electronic components are placed inside the grooves, and the surface of the sheet is encapsulated with a tape. After the electronic components are placed in the carrier tape and sealed with the tape, they are wound around a reel to protect the electronic components from being contaminated and damaged during transportation.

[0003] The existing carrier tape also has the following defects: during transportation, the carrier tape wound around the reel will shake and move due to the bumping of the vehicle, which will cause the reel to shake and move, and thus the carrier tape will also be affected by external forces, resulting in the carrier tape shaking and moving as well. Similarly, the electronic components placed inside the carrier tape will shake and move inside the carrier tape, and the carrier tape cannot limit the electronic components, resulting in the electronic components colliding with the inner wall of the carrier tape, causing damage to the electronic components, which is not conducive to the preservation of the electronic components. In addition, the sheet is only made of a layer of plastic material, with low overall strength and poor rigidity. During the driving of the vehicle, it is easily affected by mechanical stresses such as impact, vibration, and extrusion, resulting in the sheet being bent, deformed, or even broken, unable to protect the internal electronic components, and easily causing damage to some electronic components. Summary of the Utility Model

[0004] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art solutions, the utility model provides a carrier tape, which can effectively solve the technical problems that when the existing electronic components are placed inside the carrier tape, the carrier tape cannot limit the electronic components, resulting in the shaking and moving of the electronic components during transportation, and the low strength of the carrier tape, which is difficult to resist mechanical stresses such as external impact, vibration, and extrusion, and cannot protect the internal electronic components from being damaged.

[0005] The technical solution adopted by the present utility model to solve its technical problems is as follows: A carrier tape includes several strip-shaped material sheets.

A steel belt layer is provided at the bottom of the material sheet, and a substrate layer is provided at the bottom of the steel belt layer. The material sheet is adhesively connected to the steel belt layer, and the steel belt layer is adhesively connected to the substrate layer.

[0006] Further, sponge blocks are bonded to the inner wall of the material sheet and the inner wall of the engaging blocks.

[0007] Further, a protection block is provided on the inner wall of the material sheet, and the position of the protection block corresponds to the bottom of the electronic component.

[0010] Further, a plurality of positioning holes are arranged at equal intervals on the edge of the material sheet, and the positioning holes extend along the length direction of the material sheet.

[0011] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows: For a carrier tape of the present utility model, by providing engaging blocks and an engaging groove, the limitation of the electronic components can be realized, reducing shaking and movement.

[0018] Next, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present utility model, rather than all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts shall fall within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] As Figures 1-4 shown, a carrier tape includes a plurality of strip-shaped strips 1. The middle of the strip 1 extends horizontally and is recessed inward to form a plurality of placement grooves 3 with the same continuous size and shape. The shape of the placement groove 3 is adapted to electronic components. One side of the strip 1 extends outward to form two clamping blocks 7. A clamping groove 8 for clamping electronic components is formed between the clamping blocks 7. The other end of the strip 1 extends outward to form two placement blocks 11. A fixing groove 12 for placing electronic components is formed between the placement blocks 11. The fixing groove 12 is used to accommodate one end of the electronic component, while the other end of the electronic component is restricted by the clamping blocks 7 and the clamping groove 8 to prevent the electronic component from shaking and moving. Two pressing blocks 10 extend outward from the inner wall of the strip 1. A steel belt layer 4 is provided at the bottom of the strip 1. A substrate layer 5 is provided at the bottom of the steel belt layer 4. The strip 1 is adhesively connected to the steel belt layer 4, and the steel belt layer 4 is adhesively connected to the substrate layer 5. By providing the substrate layer 5 at the bottom of the carrier tape, electromagnetic interference can be effectively shielded, protecting the internal electronic components from external electromagnetic radiation, which is particularly important for electronic components that require high signal integrity and electromagnetic compatibility. The steel belt layer 4 and the substrate layer 5 are both the same shape as the strip 1 and are both strip-shaped structures.

[0020] Sponge blocks 9 are bonded to the inner walls of the material sheet 1 and the engaging blocks 7. Bonding sponge blocks 9 to the inner walls of the material sheet 1 and the engaging blocks 7 effectively alleviates the direct contact between the electronic components and the carrier tape, reducing the risk of damage caused by friction or vibration. The softness and cushioning properties of the sponge blocks 9 can provide better protection. A protective block 6 is provided on the inner wall of the material sheet 1, and the position of the protective block 6 corresponds to the bottom of the electronic component, which can directly support the bottom of the electronic component. The protective block 6 is used to protect the pins of the electronic component. The protective block 6 is a hollow cylindrical structure, and the middle part of the protective block 6 is hollow, which can accommodate the pins of the electronic component, and the depth of the protective block 6 is greater than the height of the pins of the electronic component, so that the bottom of the protective block 6 does not contact the pins of the electronic component, thus avoiding damage or bending of the pins of the electronic component with longer pins, preventing damage or deformation of the pins of the electronic component, reducing the appearance damage of the electronic component, and greatly improving the protection performance of the electronic component. The material sheet 1 is made of polyimide material. Using polyimide material as the raw material of the material sheet 1, due to its excellent heat resistance, chemical corrosion resistance and mechanical strength, the carrier tape can maintain stability and durability in harsh environments such as high temperature and high humidity. In addition, the polyimide material also has good insulation and radiation resistance, which is beneficial to protecting the electronic component from electromagnetic interference and radiation damage. The substrate layer 5 is made of metal copper material. A number of equally spaced positioning holes 2 are provided at the edge of the material sheet 1, and the positioning holes 2 extend along the length direction of the material sheet 1. Providing equally spaced positioning holes 2 at the edge of the material sheet 1 not only facilitates the precise processing and manufacturing of the carrier tape, but also facilitates the positioning and fixing of the carrier tape in the subsequent processing. The positioning holes 2 extending along the length direction of the material sheet 1 contribute to maintaining the linearity and stability of the carrier tape during movement or transmission, reducing the risk of damage caused by deviation or distortion.

[0021] For a carrier tape of this embodiment, by providing the engaging block 7 and the engaging groove 8, the limiting of the electronic component can be realized, reducing shaking and movement. The placement groove 3 formed by the middle depression of the material sheet 1 can closely fit the electronic component, and by providing two pressing blocks 10, the electronic component can be further restricted. The engaging block 7 and the placement block 11 provide additional fixing and storage space for the electronic component. By providing the engaging block 7, the engaging groove 8, the pressing block 10, the placement block 11 and the fixing groove 12, the stability of the electronic component during transportation can be ensured, preventing the electronic component from being easily shaken in the carrier tape during transportation. By providing a steel belt layer 4 at the bottom of the material sheet 1, which has high strength and stiffness, it can provide strong physical protection for the carrier tape, effectively resist mechanical stresses such as external impact, vibration and extrusion, protect the internal electronic components from damage, and also enhance the overall structural stability of the carrier tape, preventing it from deforming or twisting during transportation and use.

[0022] In use, one end of the electronic component is first inserted into the engaging block 7, so that one end of the electronic component is received inside the engaging groove 8 to limit the electronic component. The other end of the electronic component is pressed, so that the electronic component is pressed, thereby making the two pressing blocks 10 contact the surface of the electronic component, and the electronic component is clamped inside the placement groove 3. At this time, the bottom of the electronic component contacts the sponge block 9, reducing the risk of damage caused by friction or vibration. The pins of the electronic component just insert into the protection block 6, so that the pins of the electronic component are protected by the protection block 6, avoiding damage or deformation of the pins of the electronic component. After installing the electronic component, the top surface of the strip 1 is covered with a sealing tape, so that the electronic component is encapsulated inside the placement groove 3. During winding, the carrier tape winder is positioned through the positioning holes 2, so that the entire carrier tape is wound onto the carrier tape reel, facilitating subsequent transportation.

[0023] For those skilled in the art, it is obvious that the present utility model is not limited to the details of the above-described exemplary embodiments, and can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present utility model. Therefore, from any point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-limiting. The scope of the present utility model is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description. Therefore, all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be included in the present utility model, and any reference signs in the claims should not be regarded as limiting the claims involved.
