[0024] In this embodiment, before the PCB board entering the rotating box 2 is turned over, the air pump is started to input external air into the air channel assembly. Under the action of air pressure, the clamping assembly clamps the PCB board. Then, the rotating motor is started. The servo motor drives the driving gear to rotate. The driving gear drives the driven gear 14 meshing with it to rotate 180 degrees. The rotating driven gear 14 drives the rotating shaft 3 to rotate synchronously. The rotating shaft 3 drives the rotating box 2 fixedly connected to it to rotate synchronously. At the same time, the rotating box 2 drives the rotating ring 10 to rotate synchronously in the circular groove.

[0025] Before processing PCB boards of different sizes, use a tool to dock with the hexagonal hole 9 and drive the bidirectional screw 8 to rotate. At this time, the two brackets move toward or away from each other under the action of the thread, and the distance between the two support plates 11 can be adjusted to adapt to PCB boards of different sizes.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5The air duct assembly includes an S-shaped air duct 15 opened inside the support plate 11. The input end of the S-shaped air duct 15 is located on the outside of the support plate 11 and is aligned with the output end of the rotating tube 4. A horizontal air duct 19 is horizontally opened inside the support plate 11. The horizontal air duct 19 is located at the output end of the S-shaped air duct 15.

The two vertical air ducts 20 are distributed on both sides below the horizontal air duct 19, and the inner cavity of the vertical air duct 20 is connected to the inner cavity of the horizontal air duct 19.

[0027] In this embodiment: first, by starting the air pump, the air pump inputs the outside air into the three-way pipe 5 through the pipeline, and inputs the gas into the S-shaped airway 15 through the output end of the three-way pipe 5, and enters the horizontal airway 19, and then enters the vertical airway 20 through the horizontal airway 19.

A spring 23 is provided between the bottom end of the inner wall of the vertical airway 20 and the bottom end of the piston plate 21, and the spring 23 is socketed with the vertical rod 22.

[0029] In this embodiment, the incoming air pressure acts on the top of the piston plate 21. At this time, the piston plate 21 moves downward along the vertical air channel 20 and compresses the spring 23. The downwardly moving piston plate 21 pushes the upper slider 24 to move downward in the upper slide groove 27 through the vertical rod 22. The downwardly moving upper slider 24 drives the upper clamping plate 12 to move downward. The downwardly moving upper clamping plate 12 drives the lower clamping plate 13 to move upward synchronously through the synchronization component, completing the clamping of the PCB board.

[0030] After clamping, it is flipped 180 degrees. After the flip is completed, the clamping of the PCB board is released. At this time, the solenoid valve 6 is opened, and the gas in the air channel assembly is discharged through the exhaust pipe of the three-way pipe 5.
