[0017] To further illustrate various embodiments, the present invention is provided with accompanying drawings. These drawings form part of the disclosure of this invention and are primarily used to illustrate the embodiments and, in conjunction with the relevant description in the specification, to explain the operating principles of the embodiments. By referring to these drawings, those skilled in the art will understand other possible implementations and the advantages of this invention. The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar reference numerals are generally used to represent similar components.

[0018] The present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific implementation methods.

[0019] Reference Figures 1 to 2As shown, this embodiment provides a board collecting machine for FPC cutting products (hereinafter referred to as the board collecting machine), which is used to stack the FPC cutting products 2 in a designated area in sequence after the FPC cutting machine 1 cuts a large plate or coil FPC into smaller FPC plates (i.e., FPC cutting products 2).

[0020] The board collecting machine of this embodiment includes a conveyor belt 3 and a collecting mechanism for collecting FPC cut products 2. The collecting mechanism includes a transport component 7, two material trays for placing FPC cut products 2, and a suction cup that cooperates with each material tray and can be raised and lowered. The suction cup is used to suck up the FPC cut products 2 on the conveyor belt 3 and release them to the corresponding material tray. One end of the conveyor belt 3 is used to connect to the discharge port of the FPC cutter 1 and form a feed end 31. The other end of the conveyor belt 3 facing away from the FPC cutter 1 is located between the two material trays and forms a discharge end 32. The two suction cups are respectively assembled on the transport component 7 to transport the FPC cut products 2 transported by the conveyor belt 3 to the two material trays to each material tray in turn.

[0021] The plate collecting machine of this embodiment also includes a frame 12, and the specific transport component 7 includes a translation driver 71, a slider 72 and a slide rail 73. The translation driver 71 and the slide rail 73 are both assembled on the frame 12, and the slider 72 is slidably assembled on the slide rail 73. The telescopic end of the translation driver 71 is fixed to the slider 72. The movement trajectory of the slider 72 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 3, and the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 3 is defined as the front and rear directions. The translation driver 71 drives the slider 72 and the suction cup corresponding to each material tray to the upper position of each material tray and the upper position of the discharge end 32. Switching between them, the two suction cups are respectively assembled on the slider 72 in a liftable manner. Specifically, the left and right sides of the bottom of the slider 72 are respectively equipped with two lifting drives, and the two suction cups are respectively assembled at the lifting ends of the corresponding lifting drives, so that the two suction cups are respectively formed into a liftable arrangement, so as to first lower one of the suction cups and suck up the FPC cut products 2 on the conveyor belt 3, and then move it to the top of one of the material trays, and then drive the suction cup together with the FPC cut products 2 to descend into the material tray, and finally release the FPC cut products 2 onto the material tray and stack them neatly together.

[0022] During specific implementation, the two material trays are the left material tray 11 and the right material tray 8, and are located on the left and right sides of the discharge end 32 of the conveyor belt 3. The arrangement direction of the two material trays is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveyor belt 3 to match the translation direction of the slider 72 on the slide rail 73. The specific translation driver 71 is a telescopic cylinder, and the lifting driver is a lifting cylinder.

[0023] The two lifting drives are the left lifting drive 9 and the right lifting drive 5, the two suction cups are the left suction cup 10 and the right suction cup 6, the left material tray 11, the left lifting drive 9 and the left suction cup 10 constitute a left plate collecting station, and the right material tray 8, the right lifting drive 5 and the right suction cup 6 constitute another right plate collecting station to realize multi-station plate collecting operations.

[0024] By cooperating with the conveyor belt 3 and a material receiving mechanism consisting of a handling component 7, at least two material trays, and a suction cup that cooperates with each material tray and can be lifted and lowered, the FPC cut products 2 transported by the conveyor belt 3 to the position between the two material trays are sequentially transported to each material tray, so that the FPC cut products 2 are collected on the material tray by machine operation instead of manual operation, which effectively improves the operation efficiency and significantly reduces the labor intensity of the operators.

[0025] Of course, in other embodiments, the transport component 7 may also use two robots equipped with suction cups to transport the FPC cut products 2 on the conveyor belt 3 to the corresponding material tray.

[0026] In another preferred embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the board collecting machine of this embodiment also includes a sensing switch 4 for sensing the FPC cut products 2. The sensing switch 4 is arranged on the frame 12 on the side of the conveyor belt 3 away from the FPC cutter 1. The signal output end of the sensing switch 4 is connected to the signal input end of the conveying component 7 to sense the FPC cut products 2 transported to its discharge end 32 via the conveyor belt 3, and trigger the conveying component 7 to transport the FPC cut products 2 to each material tray in turn.

[0027] When the board receiving machine is in use, the FPC products 2 cut by the FPC cutting machine 1 are first conveyed to the discharge end 32 of the conveyor belt 3 through the feed end 31 of the conveyor belt 3. Then, the sensor switch 4 senses that the FPC products 2 have arrived at the feed inlet of the receiving mechanism. At this time, the feed inlet of the receiving mechanism is the location of the discharge end 32, which synchronously triggers the translation driver 71 of the conveying component 7 to start, and drives the right lifting driver 5 and the right suction cup 6 to translate to the feed inlet of the receiving mechanism through the slider 72. Then, the right lifting driver 5 drives the right suction cup 6 to descend, and the right suction cup 6 sucks up the FPC products 2 on the conveyor belt 3. Then, it is driven to be lifted by the right lifting driver 5. Then, the translation driver 71 drives the slider 72 to move right, so that the right lifting driver 5 and the right suction cup 6 are moved together to the top of the right material tray 8. Then, the right lifting driver 5 drives the right suction cup 6 to descend into the right material tray 8, and finally, the right suction cup 6 releases the FPC products 2 into the right material tray 8.

[0028] Then the induction switch 4 senses that the next FPC cut product 2 arrives at the feed port of the receiving mechanism, and synchronously triggers the translation driver 71 of the conveying component 7 to start, and drives the left lifting driver 9 and the left suction cup 10 to move horizontally to the feed port of the receiving mechanism through the slider 72. Then the left lifting driver 9 drives the left suction cup 10 to descend, and the left suction cup 10 sucks up the FPC cut product 2 on the conveyor belt 3, and then is driven to be lifted up by the left lifting driver 9. Then the translation driver 71 drives the slider 72 to move left, so that the left lifting driver 9 and the left suction cup 10 move together to the top of the left material tray 11. Then the left lifting driver 9 drives the left suction cup 10 to descend into the left material tray 11. Finally, the left suction cup 10 releases the FPC cut product 2 into the left material tray 11.

[0029] The left and right plate collecting stations repeatedly operate according to the above steps and coordinate with the conveying speed of the conveyor belt 3 to ensure that the plate collecting operation is carried out at a faster material collecting rhythm.

[0030] Although the present invention has been specifically shown and described in conjunction with the preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that various changes can be made to the form and details of the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention as defined by the appended claims, and all of these changes are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
