Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of electronic equipment manufacturing, in particular to a placement rack. Background Art
[0002] In the electronics manufacturing industry, especially during the production of multi-layer circuit boards, the boards are typically stacked and stored on W-carts (work carts) after lamination and delamination. To control the expansion and contraction of the multi-layer boards during subsequent processing and maintain their stability, the boards need to be cooled to room temperature before drilling and other subsequent processes. However, traditional cooling methods, such as fan cooling, still require a long time, which not only affects production efficiency but also increases production costs.
[0003] In actual production, to prevent target drilling machines from shutting down due to material shortages, large numbers of circuit boards are often stored temporarily. This not only takes up valuable production space but also increases the complexity of inventory management. With the promotion of lean manufacturing concepts, accelerating the flow of materials between processes and reducing the temporary storage time of intermediate products have become key to improving overall production efficiency. Therefore, developing a storage rack that can quickly cool circuit boards while ensuring their quality has become particularly important.
[0004] Existing cooling racks often fail to adequately address the need for rapid cooling and lack effective fixtures to ensure the flatness and stability of the circuit boards during cooling. Therefore, a new rack is needed that can shorten the cooling time of the circuit boards while ensuring their quality, thereby better adapting to the requirements of modern electronics manufacturing processes. Utility Model Content
[0005] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems in the prior art. To this end, the present invention provides a placement rack that can improve the cooling efficiency of circuit boards and save space.
[0006] A placement rack according to an embodiment of the first aspect of the present invention includes:
[0007] frame;
[0008] A limit seat is arranged on the upper part of the frame, the limit seat is square, and the limit seat is provided with a limit slot, and the limit slot is extended along the length direction of the limit seat;
[0009] The support assembly includes a support frame and a fixing rod, wherein the support frame is arranged on one side of the frame and arranged along the height direction of the frame, and the fixing rod is installed on the support frame, and the fixing rod is provided with a plurality of clamping parts, and the clamping parts are arranged corresponding to the limiting grooves;
[0010] The clamping portion and the limiting groove cooperate to fix the circuit board.
[0011] A placement rack according to an embodiment of the utility model has at least the following beneficial effects: by fixing the circuit board on the clamping portion between the limiting seat and the fixing rod, it is ensured that the circuit board can dissipate heat evenly during the cooling process, thereby improving the cooling efficiency and reducing the time required for cooling; the limiting groove on the limiting seat and the clamping portion on the fixing rod are precisely matched, which can firmly fix the circuit board, prevent the circuit board from being displaced or deformed due to external factors during the cooling process, and ensure the integrity and stability of the circuit board; the placement rack has a simple structure and is easy to use. The operator can easily place the circuit board between the limiting groove and the clamping portion, reducing the operation steps and improving work efficiency; the combined design of the frame and the support assembly provides a solid supporting force, ensuring the structural stability of the entire placement rack, and can remain stable even when placing heavier circuit boards.
[0012] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the support assembly further includes a plurality of limiting sliders, the fixing rod being provided with a sliding groove, the limiting sliders being slidably mounted within the sliding groove, and the limiting sliders being suitable for clamping the circuit board. The limiting sliders can slide freely within the sliding groove of the fixing rod and can be adjusted to accommodate circuit boards of different sizes, ensuring that each circuit board is properly secured, greatly improving the adaptability and flexibility of the placement rack. The design of the limiting sliders allows the circuit board to be securely clamped, preventing displacement or deformation of the circuit board due to external forces or airflow during the cooling process, and ensuring the flatness and stability of the circuit board during the cooling process.
[0013] According to some embodiments of the present invention, two sets of fixing rods are provided, and the two sets of fixing rods are spaced apart along the height direction of the support frame. The two sets of fixing rods secure the circuit board at different heights, providing more stable support, especially when handling large or heavy circuit boards, and effectively preventing the circuit board from deforming or sliding during the cooling process.
[0014] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the surface of the limit slider is covered with a flexible buffer layer. The flexible buffer layer can effectively prevent the limit slider from causing physical damage to the circuit board when clamping it, avoiding scratches or other physical damage, thereby protecting the surface quality and electrical performance of the circuit board.
[0015] According to some embodiments of the present invention, an anti-slip layer is provided within the sliding groove, and the anti-slip layer is adapted to the shape and size of the sliding groove. The presence of the anti-slip layer increases the friction between the limiting slider and the sliding groove, making the limiting slider more stable when securing the circuit board and less prone to accidental slippage, thereby improving the reliability of the circuit board fixation.
[0016] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the retaining base is provided with a plurality of retaining slots, which are spaced apart along the width direction of the retaining base. By providing multiple retaining slots along the width direction, more circuit boards can be simultaneously secured within a limited space, thereby improving space utilization and being particularly suitable for production environments with limited space.
[0017] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the widths of the plurality of limit slots gradually increase along the width direction of the limit seat. The design of multiple limit slots with different widths allows the operator to select the most appropriate limit slot based on the actual size of the circuit board, thereby ensuring the stability of the circuit board and improving operational flexibility.
[0018] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the top of the rack is tilted, and the rack is tilted downward toward the support frame. The tilted design facilitates natural air circulation, helps form a natural airflow channel for the circuit boards when placed, accelerates heat dissipation, and thus improves cooling efficiency. The tilted design allows the circuit boards to have a slight tilt angle when placed, which helps stabilize the circuit boards during the cooling process and reduces the shaking or displacement that may occur due to flat placement.
[0019] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the support frame is further provided with a connecting crossbeam. The provision of the connecting crossbeam strengthens the overall structural stability of the support frame, making the placement frame more stable when carrying multiple circuit boards, and reducing structural deformation or shaking caused by excessive load or external vibration.
[0020] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the bottom of the rack is provided with universal wheels. The design of the universal wheels allows the rack to be easily moved to any location in the workshop without laborious transportation, greatly improving the maneuverability of the equipment and facilitating layout adjustment of the production site.
[0021] Additional aspects and advantages of the present invention will be given in part in the following description and will become apparent from the following description or learned through practice of the present invention. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

[0031] Reference Figures 1 to 3 , a placement rack, comprising:
[0032] Rack 100;
[0033] The limit seat 110 is provided on the upper part of the frame 100. The limit seat 110 is square and has a limit slot 150. The limit slot 150 extends along the length direction of the limit seat 110.
[0034] The support assembly includes a support frame 120 and a fixing rod 130. The support frame 120 is arranged on one side of the frame 100 and arranged along the height direction of the frame 100. The fixing rod 130 is installed on the support frame 120. The fixing rod 130 is provided with a plurality of clamping parts, which are arranged corresponding to the limiting grooves 150.
[0035] The clamping portion and retaining groove 150 cooperate to secure the circuit board. Retaining groove 150 extends toward support frame 120 and primarily secures the bottom of the circuit board; the clamping portion secures the side of the circuit board. The combined action of retaining groove 150 and the clamping portion allows the circuit board to be secured from two directions, significantly improving its stability.
[0036] By fixing the circuit board in the clamping portion between the limiting seat 110 and the fixing rod 130, it is ensured that the circuit board can dissipate heat evenly during the cooling process, thereby improving the cooling efficiency and reducing the time required for cooling; the limiting groove 150 on the limiting seat 110 and the clamping portion on the fixing rod 130 precisely match each other, which can firmly fix the circuit board and prevent the circuit board from being displaced or deformed due to external factors during the cooling process, thereby ensuring the integrity and stability of the circuit board; the placement rack has a simple structure and is easy to use. The operator can easily place the circuit board between the limiting groove 150 and the clamping portion, reducing the number of operating steps and improving work efficiency; the combined design of the frame 100 and the support assembly provides solid support force, ensuring the structural stability of the entire placement rack, and can remain stable even when placing heavier circuit boards.
[0037] The support assembly also includes a plurality of limiting sliders 140. The fixed rod 130 is provided with a sliding slot 160. The limiting sliders 140 are slidably mounted within the sliding slot 160 and are suitable for clamping the circuit board. The limiting sliders 140 can slide freely within the sliding slot 160 of the fixed rod 130 and can be adjusted to accommodate circuit boards of different sizes, ensuring that each circuit board is properly secured. This greatly improves the adaptability and flexibility of the placement rack. The design of the limiting sliders 140 ensures that the circuit board is firmly clamped, preventing displacement or deformation of the circuit board due to external forces or airflow during the cooling process, and ensuring the flatness and stability of the circuit board during the cooling process.
[0038] Two sets of fixing rods 130 are provided, spaced apart along the height of the support frame 120. The two sets of fixing rods 130 secure the circuit board at different heights, providing more stable support, especially when handling larger or heavier circuit boards, and effectively preventing the circuit board from deforming or sliding during the cooling process.
[0039] The surface of the limiting slider 140 is covered with a flexible buffer layer. The flexible buffer layer can effectively prevent the limiting slider 140 from causing hard damage to the circuit board when clamping it, avoiding scratches or other physical damage, thereby protecting the surface quality and electrical performance of the circuit board.
[0040] An anti-slip layer is provided within the sliding groove 160, and the shape and size of the anti-slip layer are adapted to the sliding groove 160. The presence of the anti-slip layer increases the friction between the limiting slider 140 and the sliding groove 160, making the limiting slider 140 more stable when securing the circuit board and less prone to accidental slipping, thereby improving the reliability of the circuit board fixation.
[0041] The retaining base 110 is provided with a plurality of retaining slots 150, which are spaced apart along the width of the retaining base 110. The spacing of the plurality of retaining slots 150 is arranged in the same direction as the direction in which the fixing rod 130 extends. By providing multiple retaining slots 150 in the width direction, more circuit boards can be simultaneously secured within a limited space, thereby improving space utilization and being particularly suitable for production environments with limited space. In this embodiment, the retaining base 110 is provided with four retaining slots 150, which can simultaneously secure four circuit boards. The spacing between the retaining slots 150 provides ample heat dissipation space between the circuit boards, thereby improving heat dissipation efficiency.
[0042] The widths of the plurality of limiting slots 150 gradually increase along the width direction of the limiting seat 110. The design of the plurality of limiting slots 150 with different widths allows the operator to select the most suitable limiting slot 150 according to the actual size of the circuit board, which not only ensures the stability of the circuit board but also improves the flexibility of operation.
[0043] The top of the rack 100 is tilted, tilting downward toward the support frame 120. This tilt facilitates natural airflow, creating a natural airflow path for the circuit boards when placed, accelerating heat dissipation and improving cooling efficiency. The tilt allows the circuit boards to be placed at a slight angle, which helps stabilize the boards during cooling and reduces potential shaking or displacement caused by flat placement.
[0044] The support frame 120 is further provided with a connecting beam 170. The provision of the connecting beam 170 strengthens the overall structural stability of the support frame 120, making the placement frame more stable when carrying multiple circuit boards, and reducing structural deformation or shaking caused by excessive load or external vibration.
[0045] Universal wheels are provided at the bottom of the rack 100. The design of the universal wheels allows the rack to be easily moved to any position in the workshop without laborious handling, which greatly improves the maneuverability of the equipment and facilitates layout adjustment of the production site.
[0046] Reference Figures 1 to 3The rack 100 serves as the basic structure of the placement rack, and its top is designed to be inclined, tilting downward toward the support rack 120, so as to facilitate natural cooling of the circuit board and easy operation. The limit seat 110 is installed on the top of the rack 100, is square, and is provided with a plurality of limit slots 150. These limit slots 150 gradually increase along the width direction of the limit seat 110, so that the placement rack can adapt to circuit boards of different sizes. The support assembly includes a support frame 120 and a fixing rod 130. The support frame 120 is fixed to one side of the rack 100 and is arranged along the height direction of the rack 100. The fixing rod 130 is installed on the support frame 120 and is provided with a number of clamping parts, which correspond to the limit slots 150 on the limit seat 110 and are used to fix the circuit board. There are two groups of fixing rods 130, which are spaced apart along the height direction of the support frame 120 to provide multi-level fixation.
[0047] A sliding groove 160 is provided on the fixing rod 130, and the limiting slider 140 is installed in the sliding groove 160 and can slide therein. The surface of the limiting slider 140 is covered with a flexible buffer layer to protect the circuit board from hard damage. An anti-slip layer is provided in the sliding groove 160, which is adapted to the shape and size of the sliding groove 160 to increase the friction of the limiting slider 140 and improve the fixing effect. A connecting beam 170 is provided on the support frame 120 to enhance the stability and load-bearing capacity of the structure. Universal wheels are installed at the bottom of the rack 100, so that the placement rack can be easily moved and adapted to different production environment requirements.
[0048] When assembling the placement rack, first secure the limit seat 110 to the top of the rack 100 and ensure its tilt angle is correct. Then, secure the support frame 120 to one side of the rack 100 and install the fixing rod 130. Next, install the limit slider 140 on the fixing rod 130 and adjust its position to accommodate the size of the circuit board. Finally, install the universal wheels at the bottom of the rack 100. When placing the circuit board, place it in the limit slot 150 of the limit seat 110 and secure it using the clips on the fixing rod 130 and the limit slider 140. Adjust the position of the limit slider 140 to ensure the stability of the circuit board. The tilted design of the rack 100 allows natural airflow to help cool the circuit board quickly. When the placement rack needs to be moved, it can be easily pushed and pulled to the desired position using the universal wheels. This improves the efficiency and quality of circuit board cooling, enhances the structural stability and load-bearing capacity of the placement rack, makes operation convenient, improves production efficiency, is easy to move, has strong adaptability, and optimizes space utilization in the workshop.
[0049] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the scope of knowledge possessed by ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
