[0023] An FPC loading tray is used in cooperation with a first FPC module and a second FPC module, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown. The FPC loading tray includes a cover plate 1, a loading plate 2, and a bottom plate 3.
[0024] Specifically, the loading plate 2 is detachably connected to the cover plate 1 and the bottom plate 3 respectively. The cover plate 1 is disposed on the loading plate 2, and the loading plate 2 is disposed on the bottom plate 3. A plurality of first magnetic attraction blocks 11 are provided on the circumferential side of the bottom of the cover plate 1. The cover plate 1 is used to cover the loading plate 2. A plurality of module positions 21 distributed in an array are recessed in the loading plate 2. The module positions 21 include a first module position 211 and a second module position 212. The first module position 211 and the second module position 212 are adjacent to each other. The first module position 211 is used to accommodate the first FPC module, and the second module position 212 is used to accommodate the second FPC module. A plurality of second magnetic attraction blocks 22 are provided on the circumferential side of the loading plate 2. The first magnetic attraction blocks 11 and the second magnetic attraction blocks 22 attract each other magnetically. A plurality of positioning grooves 23 are recessed in the circumferential side of the loading plate 2. The positioning grooves 23 are used for stacking two FPC loading trays neatly. A receiving groove 31 is recessed in the bottom plate 3. The receiving groove 31 is adapted to the loading plate 2. A lifting column 4 is provided below the bottom plate 3. The lifting column 4 is used to support the bottom plate 3.
[0025] Specifically, a plurality of taking grooves 32 are provided around the bottom plate 3. The taking grooves 32 are used to take the bottom plate 3.
[0026] Specifically, the lifting column 4 includes a plurality of lifting rods 41. The lifting rods 41 include a first lifting sleeve rod 411, a second lifting sleeve rod 412, and a third lifting sleeve rod 413 sleeved from the inside to the outside. The first lifting sleeve rod 411 is slidably connected to the second lifting sleeve rod 412, and the second lifting sleeve rod 412 is slidably connected to the third lifting sleeve rod 413. A pulling block 42 is provided below the lifting rod 41. The third lifting sleeve rod 413 is connected to the pulling block 42. The pulling block 42 is used to pull the third lifting sleeve rod 413 up and down. The third lifting sleeve rod 413 drives the second lifting sleeve rod 412, and then drives the first lifting sleeve rod 411. The pulling block 42 is adapted to the positioning groove 23. The lifting range of the lifting column is 0 cm to 10 cm.
[0027] It should be noted that by pulling the pulling block 42, the pulling block 42 drives the sleeved third lifting sleeve rod 413, second lifting sleeve rod 412, and first lifting sleeve rod 411 to slide successively. The FPC loading tray is placed in the carrier table to meet the requirements for different support heights.
[0028] Specifically, one corner of the loading plate 2 is chamfered 24 , and the other corners of the loading plate 2 are rounded 25 , so that the loading plate 2 can be placed on the bottom plate 3 in a directional manner.
[0029] Specifically, the material of the loading plate 2 and the cover plate 1 is transparent polyethylene terephthalate, and the surface antistatic value of the loading plate 2 and the cover plate 1 is 10 6 Ω~10 9 Ω, good antistatic performance to protect the first FPC module and the second FPC module placed in the module position from the influence of static electricity.
[0030] Specifically, the cover plate 1, the loading tray 2 and the bottom plate 3 are formed by stamping, and have a stable structure, which is conducive to long-term use.
[0031] It should be noted that the first FPC module and the second FPC module are placed in the first module position 211 and the second module position 212 respectively, and then the cover plate 1 is closed. The magnetic attraction between the first magnetic block 11 and the second magnetic block 22 makes the cover plate 1 cover the loading plate 2. During the transportation of the first FPC module and the second FPC module, the cover plate 1 is pressed on the loading plate 2 to ensure that the first FPC module and the second FPC module do not separate from the first module position 211 and the second module position 212, while reducing the time of contact with air, which is more conducive to long-term storage of the FPC loading tray. The operator transfers it through the picking slot 32 and places the bottom of the positioning slot 23 of the upper FPC loading tray in the positioning slot 23 of the lower FPC loading tray, so that the stacking steam of multiple FPC loading trays is neat. For machines of different heights, the lifting column 4 can adjust the height to meet the different height requirements of the operation.
[0032] It should be noted that first, two different types of first FPC modules and second FPC modules are placed in the FPC loading tray and put into the loading area of the machine. The four suction nozzles of the machine conveying structure adsorb the four corners of the FPC loading tray to the picking platform, and then adsorb the cover plate 1. Then, the picking suction nozzle successively adsorbs the first FPC module and the second FPC module in the loading tray. After completion, the empty FPC loading tray is transported to the unloading area, and the next loading tray is continued to be adsorbed, and the operation is cyclical, so that two different types of FPC modules can be placed in one tray and the materials are picked up to the machine for binding operation.
[0033] The utility model provides two different types of module positions for accommodating two types of FPC modules for loading and binding operations, thereby optimizing the original two-time binding process into a one-time binding process, saving the production cycle of the vehicle display module, reducing the overall operating cost, and improving production efficiency.
