[0027] It should be noted that, in the absence of conflict, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in different embodiments may be combined with each other.

[0028] Figure 1 and Figure 2 The three-dimensional structure of the printing template transport vehicle is shown in figure 2. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the printing template transport vehicle provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0029] Robot chassis 10;

[0030] The material box 20 is mounted on the robot chassis 10. Baffle bars 22 are provided in the material box 20. Adjacent baffle bars 22 form storage spaces for the printing templates 60. At least one wall of each storage space is provided with a roller belt 24 for guiding the placement of the printing templates 60.

[0031] The display screen 30 is provided on the material box 20 , and the display screen 30 is communicatively connected with the robot chassis 10 .

[0032] The material box 20 is used to store the printing template 60. The design of the baffle bar 22, on the one hand, isolates the storage space for multiple printing templates 60 to prevent the printing templates 60 from being damaged due to mutual collision and pressure, and on the other hand, supports the printing template 60 so that each printing template 60 remains stable during transportation; at least one wall of each storage space is provided with a roller belt 24, which can facilitate the placement and removal of the printing template 60. The robot chassis 10 can receive the dispatch signal, perform path planning, and drive the printing template transport vehicle to automatically operate and transport the printing template 60 to the appropriate production process; for example, the printing template transport vehicle can transport the printing template 60 to the appropriate production process of the SMT patch. The display screen 30 can display the model, target process, etc. of the printing template 60 currently being transported, so that it can be automatically scanned and confirmed by the machine after transportation, or for manual confirmation.

[0033] It should be noted that the function of the robot chassis 10 to perform path planning based on the dispatch signal is already available, and the present invention does not limit this. For example, the robot chassis 10 can adopt the path planning function of any suitable AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) currently available. The present invention realizes the stable storage of the printing template 60 and facilitates the placement and removal of the printing template 60 through the design of the material box 20, so that the robot chassis 10 can be used to drive the material box 20 to operate automatically without manual supervision; in addition, the present invention also intuitively displays the relevant information of the currently transported printing template 60 through the design of the display screen 30 set on the material box 20 and connected to the robot chassis 10.

[0034] The printing template transport vehicle of the present invention can stably store the printing template 60 to avoid damage, and can realize automatic transportation of the printing template 60 without relying on manual labor, thereby improving production efficiency and ensuring that the circuit board production process is carried out efficiently and orderly.

[0035] In some embodiments, barrier strips 22 are provided on the inner top and bottom walls of the material box 20, with the barrier strips 22 provided on the inner top and inner bottom vertically aligned. Thus, the two adjacent sets of barrier strips 22 define the storage space 50, providing stable support for the printing template 60 placed in the storage space 50.

[0036] In some embodiments, the roller belt 24 is disposed on the inner bottom wall of the material box 20. In this way, when the printing template 60 is placed in and taken out, it can be pressed against the roller belt 24 under the action of gravity and guided by the roller belt 24.

[0037] In some embodiments, the display screen 30 is a touch screen and / or has operation buttons. The touch screen / operation buttons allow for manual operation. For example, after the printing template 60 is placed in the material box 20, the user can manually input the model number and target process of the printing template 60. After the printing template 60 is transported to the designated location, the user can manually confirm and remove the printing template 60.

[0038] Of course, the placement and removal of the printing template 60 can also be completed automatically by mechanical equipment such as robotic arms without human intervention; information such as the model and target process of the printing template 60 can also be obtained through data interaction between the robot chassis 10 and the scheduling machine without manual input.

[0039] In some embodiments, the printing template transport vehicle further includes a charging module 11 disposed on the robot chassis 10. When the power level of the robot chassis 10 is lower than a set value, the printing template transport vehicle can automatically move to a charging station and be charged through the charging module 11.

[0040] In some embodiments, universal wheels are provided at each corner of the robot chassis 10. In this way, the printing template transport vehicle can operate flexibly, autonomously, and stably.

[0041] In some embodiments, the printing template transport vehicle further includes a shock-absorbing connecting plate 40 disposed between the robot chassis 10 and the material box 20. The shock-absorbing connecting plate 40 acts as a shock-absorbing buffer to protect the printing template 60 in the material box 20 and prevent the printing template 60 from being damaged.

[0042] In some embodiments, the shock-absorbing connecting plate 40 comprises a hard plate that contacts the robot chassis 10 and the material box 20, respectively, and a flexible filling layer disposed between the hard plates. The hard plate provides a stable connection with the robot chassis 10 and the material box 20, while the flexible filling layer provides a shock-absorbing and buffering effect.

[0043] The hard plate can be made of suitable materials such as metal and plastic; the flexible filling layer can be made of suitable materials such as rubber.

[0044] Figure 3 The vertical cross-sectional structure of the material box of the printing template transport vehicle is shown; Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the entrance 52 of each storage space 50 forms a guide arc 55 for guiding the placement of the printing template 60. The guide arc 55 can be formed only at the entrance 52 where the roller belt 24 is located, but is not limited thereto. The guide arc 55, in conjunction with the roller belt 24, greatly facilitates the placement of the printing template 60 into the storage space 50.

[0045] Furthermore, an embodiment of the present invention also provides a printing template transportation system. Figure 4 The structure of the printing template transportation system is shown in figure 2. Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the printing template transportation system provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0046] a printing machine 70 for printing the printing template 60;

[0047] The scheduling machine 80 is in communication with the printing machine 70 and is used to schedule the printing template 60;

[0048] The printing stencil transport vehicle 90, as described in any of the above embodiments, is in communication with the printer 70 and the dispatcher 80 and is configured to transport the printing stencil 60 according to the dispatch of the dispatcher 80. For example, the printing stencil transport vehicle 90 can transport the printing stencil 60 to a cleaning process, an SMT patch printing process, etc., according to the dispatch of the dispatcher 80.

[0049] The printing template transportation system of the present invention, through the cooperation of the printing machine 70, the scheduling machine 80 and the printing template transportation vehicle 90, can stably store and transport the printing template 60, avoid damage to the printing template 60, and can realize the automatic transportation of the printing template 60 without relying on manual labor, thereby improving production efficiency and ensuring that the circuit board production process is carried out efficiently and orderly.
