A positioning structure is provided on the top surface of the carrier plate. The positioning structure includes a first inner side wall and a second inner side wall that are perpendicular to each other. The first inner side wall and the second inner side wall form a positioning area. The first positioning device and the second positioning device are installed on the top surface of the carrier plate. The first positioning device includes a first driving device and a first limiting member. The first limiting member is connected to the output end of the first driving device and is used to press the circuit board against the first inner side wall under the drive of the first driving device. The second positioning device includes a second driving device and a second limiting member. The second limiting member is connected to the output end of the second driving device and is used to press the circuit board against the second inner side wall under the drive of the second driving device. The moving directions of the first limiting member and the second limiting member are perpendicular.

[0005] Preferably, two positioning stations are provided on the carrier plate, and each positioning station is provided with the positioning structure, the first positioning device and the second positioning device.

[0006] Preferably, the two positioning stations are arranged axially symmetrically.

[0007] Preferably, guide grooves are provided at the bottom of the first limiting member and / or the second limiting member along the moving direction of the corresponding limiting member, and the first limiting member and / or the second limiting member are slidably matched with the corresponding guide grooves.

[0011] Preferably, the thickness of the first abutting portion is 2 mm to 10 mm.

[0012] Preferably, the first limiting member is integrally formed.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present utility model are as follows:

[0014] The end of the flexible circuit board provided with the connector (hereinafter referred to as the first end) is generally in a regular rectangular shape. The top surface of the carrier plate is provided with a positioning structure. The positioning structure includes a first inner side wall and a second inner side wall that are perpendicular to each other. The first inner side wall and the second inner side wall form a positioning area. The two inner side walls in the positioning area are adapted to the two adjacent side walls of the first end. The flexible circuit board can be abutted against the two inner side walls. After the first end of the flexible circuit board is placed in the positioning area, the corresponding limiting member is selected according to the different orientations of the connector fixed on the flexible circuit board. For example, if the connection port of the connector faces the first limiting member, in order to avoid interference between the first limiting member and the connector, at this time, the second driving device drives the second limiting member to move to abut against one end of the flexible circuit board, so that the other end of the flexible circuit board abuts against the second inner side wall, thereby realizing the positioning of the first end for the connector to perform dispensing. Similarly, if the connection port of the connector faces the second limiting member, at this time, the first driving device drives the first limiting member to move to abut against one end of the flexible circuit board, so that the other end of the flexible circuit board abuts against the first inner side wall. Thus, this jig can use different types of flexible circuit boards (mainly manifested as different orientations of the connector connected to the first end). Different types of flexible circuit boards can be dispensed through this jig during the dispensing process, which is beneficial to cost saving and production efficiency improvement.

[0015] The first limiting member and the second limiting member are arranged at positions relatively far from the corresponding inner side walls, and they only move towards the side close to the corresponding inner side wall when the flexible circuit board needs to be positioned. Therefore, the positioning area has a relatively large space, enabling it to be applicable to the dispensing of flexible circuit boards and connectors of different sizes.

[0021] In order to make the above objects, features and advantages of the present utility model more obvious and understandable, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners.

[0022] A dispensing jig for a flexible circuit board connector, see [[ID=??]] Figures 1-2, including a carrier plate 1, a first positioning device 2 and a second positioning device 3. A positioning structure 11 is provided on the top surface of the carrier plate 1. The positioning structure 11 includes a first inner sidewall 12 and a second inner sidewall 13 that are perpendicular to each other. The first inner sidewall 12 and the second inner sidewall 13 form a positioning area. In this embodiment, the positioning structure 11 is preferably a positioning groove provided on the top surface of the carrier plate 1, and the positioning area is located at a corner position of the positioning groove. The positioning area formed by the above two inner sidewalls is adapted to the end portion (hereinafter referred to as the first end portion) of the flexible circuit board provided with a connector. Before dispensing, the first end portion of the flexible circuit board is placed in the positioning area for subsequent positioning operations. The first positioning device 2 and the second positioning device 3 are installed on the top surface of the carrier plate 1. Among them, the first positioning device 2 includes a first driving device 21 and a first limiting member 22. The first limiting member 22 is connected to the output end of the first driving device 21 and is used to press the circuit board against the first inner sidewall 12 under the drive of the first driving device 21. The second positioning device 3 includes a second driving device 31 and a second limiting member 32. The second limiting member 32 is connected to the output end of the second driving device 31 and is used to press the circuit board against the second inner sidewall 13 under the drive of the second driving device 31. The moving directions of the first limiting member 22 and the second limiting member 32 are perpendicular. After the first end portion of the flexible circuit board is placed in the positioning area, the corresponding limiting member is selected according to the different orientations of the connector fixed on the flexible circuit board. For example, if the connection port of the connector faces the first limiting member, in order to avoid interference between the first limiting member 22 and the connector, at this time, the second driving device 31 drives the second limiting member 32 to move to abut against one end of the flexible circuit board, so that the other end of the flexible circuit board abuts against the second inner sidewall 13, thereby realizing the positioning of the first end portion for the connector to be dispensed. Similarly, if the connection port of the connector faces the second limiting member, at this time, the first driving device 21 drives the first limiting member 22 to move to abut against one end of the flexible circuit board, so that the other end of the flexible circuit board abuts against the first inner sidewall 12. Thus, this jig can be used for different types of flexible circuit boards (mainly manifested by different orientations of the connector connected to the first end portion). Different types of flexible circuit boards can be dispensed through this jig during the dispensing process, which is beneficial to cost savings and production efficiency improvement. The first limiting member 22 and the second limiting member 32 are arranged at positions relatively far from the corresponding inner sidewalls, and they only move towards the side close to the corresponding inner sidewalls when the flexible circuit board needs to be positioned. Therefore, the positioning area has a relatively large space, enabling it to be applicable to the dispensing of flexible circuit boards and connectors of different sizes.

[0023] In this embodiment, two positioning stations 15 are located on one side of the carrier plate 1, where positioning and dispensing can be performed. The other side of the carrier plate 1 is a placement area 14, which can carry and place other parts of the flexible circuit board.

[0024] Among them, the placement area 14 is provided with countersunk holes. By setting the countersunk holes 17, the carrier plate 1 can be fixed to the workbench or other areas through the countersunk holes, which is convenient for fixing. In addition, the countersunk holes also ensure that when connecting, connecting parts such as bolts will not protrude from the carrier plate 1, avoiding damage and scratching of the flexible circuit board.

[0025] In this embodiment, two positioning stations 15 are provided on the carrier plate 1, and each positioning station 15 is provided with the above-mentioned positioning structure 11, the first positioning device 2 and the second positioning device 3. Setting two positioning stations 15 not only improves work efficiency. In addition, when some flexible circuit boards cannot be placed in the placement area 14, they can be placed on the adjacent positioning stations 15 to prevent the flexible circuit boards from slipping off the carrier plate 1 and affecting positioning. Among them, preferably, the two positioning stations 15 are axially symmetrically arranged, and this structure is regular.

[0026] In this embodiment, guide grooves 16 are provided at the bottoms of the first limiting member 22 and the second limiting member 32 along the moving directions of the corresponding limiting members. The first limiting member 22 and the second limiting member 32 are slidably matched with the corresponding guide grooves 16, which can improve the moving stability and moving accuracy of the limiting members.

[0027] In this embodiment, the first limiting member 22 includes an integrally formed first connecting portion 221 and a first abutting portion 222. The end of the first connecting portion 221 far from the first abutting portion 222 is connected to the output end of the first driving device 21. The thickness of the first connecting portion 221 is greater than the thickness of the abutting portion, and their cross-sectional shapes are L-shaped. The integrally formed first limiting member 22 is convenient for assembly and improves assembly efficiency. The first limiting member 22 is set as an L-shaped structure to prevent its first abutting portion 222 from having a relatively thick thickness and interfering with the connector, affecting the position accuracy, dispensing accuracy, and dispensing effect of the connector. Preferably, the thickness of the first abutting portion 222 is 2 mm to 10 mm.

[0028] It can be understood that the second limiting member 32 can also be provided with corresponding connecting portions and abutting portions.

[0029] In this embodiment, the first driving device 21 and the second driving device 31 can be cylinders, or can also be a structure formed by multiple guide rods slidingly matched with the guide rods and being locked or loosened by bolts.

[0030] Obviously, the above-mentioned embodiments of the present invention are merely examples for clearly explaining the present invention, rather than limiting the implementation manners of the present invention. For those of ordinary skill in the art, other different forms of changes or modifications can be made based on the above description. It is not necessary and impossible to enumerate all the implementation manners here. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the claims of the present invention.
