Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the field of belts or similar annular load carriers, in particular to a new material tray loading device. Background Art

[0002] SMT, or surface mount technology, is a commonly used assembly technology and process in the electronic device manufacturing industry. During the placement process, SMT equipment requires the use of tape. The tape is wound into a reel and pulled out of the reel during use, enabling continuous feeding. The reels are placed in a hopper, and multiple hoppers are placed in a hopper base called a clip. Once the tape on the previous reel is fully released, the reel must be replaced. This process involves lifting the new reel to a certain height, a process known as loading the reel.

[0003] The current method of loading the tray is: the cylinder drives the push plate to contact the protrusion on the side of the silo, thereby driving the tray in the silo to load. Since the push plate of the cylinder and the protrusion are in flat contact, the stability of the silo is poor when the cylinder pushes the tray to load.

[0004] Therefore, how to solve the technical problem of poor stability of the silo when pushing the material tray to load the material is urgently needed to be solved by those skilled in the art.

[0005] It should be noted that the above information disclosed in this Background section is only for understanding the background technology of the present application concept, and therefore, it may contain information that does not constitute prior art. Utility Model Content
