Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of transport pallets, in particular to a novel material pallet. Background Art

[0002] In the field of electronics manufacturing, especially in the production, storage and transportation of flexible printed circuit boards (FPCs), suitable material pallets play a vital role. With the rapid development of the electronics industry, the quality requirements for FPCs are getting higher and higher, and at the same time, higher requirements are also placed on the safety and convenience of their storage and transportation. A new type of FPC material pallet has emerged to solve the many problems existing in the use of existing pallets, improve the storage and transportation efficiency of FPCs, and ensure the quality of FPCs.

[0003] Common material pallets are usually made of materials such as plastic or metal, with a relatively simple structure. They are generally flat and may have certain fences around them to prevent materials from sliding. When stacking, they usually rely on the weight and shape of the pallet itself. During the stacking process, they mainly rely on manual experience for alignment and lack precise positioning devices. For vibration buffering, they may only rely on the certain elasticity of the pallet material itself, and there is no special shock-absorbing design. During storage and transportation, due to structural limitations, the engagement between pallets is often not tight enough, which can easily cause materials to shake and be damaged during transportation, or the engagement is too tight, making it difficult to operate when the pallets need to be separated.

[0004] When stacked, conventional material trays often experience problems with the trays being too tightly engaged, making them impossible to separate. This is because conventional tray designs fail to take into account the ease of separation after stacking. When multiple trays are stacked, the lack of dedicated unlocking and locking mechanisms increases the friction and compressive forces between the trays as the number of stacked trays increases, making it extremely difficult to separate the trays. This creates significant inconvenience during production and transportation, increasing the workload of operators while also wasting significant time and reducing work efficiency. In particular, in emergencies where FPC materials need to be quickly removed from a tray, an inability to separate the trays can severely impact production schedules and product quality. Therefore, a new material tray is proposed to address this issue. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to make up for the above shortcomings, the present invention provides a new material tray, which aims to improve the problem in the prior art that the trays cannot be separated due to the tight engagement after stacking.

Then, the support arm is rotated to a vertical state, and the movable column is pushed into the locking hole. The displacement of the movable column causes the groove to clamp the sliding ball, thereby locking the movable column and limiting the rotation of the support arm.

The surface of the fence 1 is polished to ensure that the material will not be scratched during use. A supporting component is provided inside the fence 1, and the supporting component is used to support and store materials. The fence 1 is rectangular, has a stable structure and a large storage space, and can effectively support and store materials. The side wall of the fence 1 is fixedly connected to the side 4, and the side 4 is distributed on the four outer walls of the fence 1. The upper surface of the side 4 is fixedly connected to the base 11, and the side wall of the base 11 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the fence 1. The base 11 is rotatably connected to the support arm 12 inside, and the top of the support arm 12 is fixedly connected to the anti-slip pad 20. A locking hole 14 is provided inside the base 11, and the inner wall surface of the locking hole 14 is smooth to ensure that the movable column 15 can slide smoothly therein. The locking hole 14 is provided with a sliding hole 17 on the inner wall of the sliding hole 17, and a spring 18 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the sliding hole 17. One end of the spring 18 is fixedly connected to the sliding ball 19. The sliding ball 19 can slide in the groove 16 under the action of the spring 18 to lock and unlock the movable column 15. The supporting assembly includes a disc body 3, which is also made of polycarbonate material with good corrosion resistance and wear resistance. The surface of the disc body 3 is anti-slip treated, which can effectively prevent materials from sliding on the disc body 3. At the same time, the surface of the disc body 3 is also anti-static treated, and its surface anti-static value is 10 8 -10 11The tray body 3 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the enclosure 1, and a positioning groove 5 is provided inside the enclosure 1. The positioning grooves 5 are distributed on the left and right sides of the enclosure 1. A plurality of rubber pads 6 are fixedly connected to the inner walls of the positioning groove 5 on both sides, which have good elasticity and anti-slip properties. The rubber pads 6 can play a buffering and anti-slip role when other pallets are placed in the positioning groove 5. A plurality of circular holes 7 are provided on the inner wall of the positioning groove 5, which can play a ventilation role and prevent negative pressure adsorption between the pallets. The circular holes 7 are distributed on the bottom of the inner wall of the positioning groove 5 on the left and right. A plurality of storage slots 9 are provided inside the enclosure 1. The size and shape of the storage slots 9 can adapt to the shape of the FPC material. The storage slots 9 are distributed in an array on the enclosure 1 The inner wall of the enclosure 1 is fixedly connected with a plurality of positioning blocks 8 on the upper surface of the enclosure 1. The positioning blocks 8 can play a role of positioning and fixing when the pallets are stacked, ensuring the stability of the pallet stacking. The positioning blocks 8 are distributed on the upper and lower sides of the enclosure 1. The lower surface of the side 4 is provided with a shock-absorbing pad 10. The shock-absorbing pad 10 can play a role of shock absorption during the placement and transportation of the pallet to protect the materials from damage. The upper surfaces of the shock-absorbing pads 10 are respectively fixedly connected to the bottom of the side 4. The side wall of the enclosure 1 is provided with a positioning edge 2. The positioning edge 2 is chamfered. The positioning edge 2 can play a role of positioning and guiding during the stacking and transportation of the pallet, which is convenient for the user to operate, and is different from the other three right-angled sides of the enclosure 1;

[0033] Specifically, when using the new material tray, the FPC material is first placed in the storage slot 9 for storage. The size and shape of the storage slot 9 are consistent with the shape of the FPC material, ensuring that the FPC material will not slide during the storage process and cause damage. When the FPC material is in place, when the user stacks multiple new material trays, the user first pulls outward the connecting block 13 located on the surface of the base 11 of the side wall of the enclosure 1. As the connecting block 13 moves outward, the movable column 15 is also moved. The displacement of the movable column 15 also causes the groove 16 on its outer wall to move. The displacement of the groove 16 further squeezes the sliding bead 19 to move into the sliding hole 17. The displacement of the sliding bead 19 pushes the compression of the spring 18, thereby completing the unlocking of the movable column 15. As the movable column 15 is pulled by the connecting block 13 After the locking hole 14 is pulled out, the staff manually rotates the support arm 12 to a vertical position, and then pushes the movable column 15 into the locking hole 14. The forward displacement of the movable column 15 drives the groove 16 to move accordingly. When the groove 16 moves to the position of the sliding bead 19, the extrusion force on the sliding bead 19 disappears, and the spring 18 rebounds and pushes the sliding bead 19 to move outward, thereby jamming the groove 16, thereby locking the movable column 15 and further restricting the rotation of the support arm 12. This design enables the support arm 12 to provide stable support when the pallets are stacked, ensuring the stability and safety of the pallet stacking. At the same time, through cooperation with the circular hole 7 at the bottom of the positioning groove 5, the pallets will not be stacked too tightly, so that negative pressure cannot be formed, solving the problem of traditional pallets being difficult to open due to being stacked too tightly.

[0034] Working principle: When using the new material tray, first place the FPC material in the storage slot 9 for storage. After the FPC material is in place, when multiple new material trays are stacked, the user first pulls outward the connecting block 13 located on the surface of the base 11 of the side wall of the enclosure 1. As the connecting block 13 moves, the movable column 15 also moves. The displacement of the movable column 15 also causes the groove 16 on its outer wall to move. The displacement of the groove 16 further squeezes the sliding bead 19 to move into the sliding hole 17. The displacement of the sliding bead 19 pushes the compression of the spring 18. , thereby completing the unlocking of the movable column 15. After the movable column 15 is pulled out of the locking hole 14 by the connecting block 13, the staff manually rotates the support arm 12 to a vertical shape, and then pushes the movable column 15 into the locking hole 14. The forward displacement of the movable column 15 drives the groove 16 to move accordingly. When the groove 16 moves to the position of the sliding bead 19, the extrusion force on the sliding bead 19 disappears, and the spring 18 rebounds to push the sliding bead 19 to move outward, thereby jamming the groove 16, thereby achieving the locking of the movable column 15 and further restricting the rotation of the support arm 12.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments or make equivalent replacements for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
