[0002] Circuit boards are broadly categorized by the number of layers: single-sided, double-sided, and multi-layer. First, single-sided boards. On the most basic PCB, components are concentrated on one side, while wiring is concentrated on the other. Because wiring only appears on one side, this type of PCB is called a single-sided circuit board. Double-sided boards are an extension of single-sided boards, used when single-layer wiring is insufficient for electronic products. Multi-layer boards are printed circuit boards with three or more conductive patterns laminated with insulating material between them, with the conductive patterns interconnected as required. Multi-layer boards are a product of the development of electronic information technology toward higher speeds, greater versatility, greater capacity, smaller size, thinner dimensions, and lighter weight.

[0029] Please refer to Figures 1 to 2 As shown, it shows the specific structure of a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, which includes a frame 10, a controller 20, a loading member 30, a first driving mechanism 40, a feeding assembly 50 and a material taking assembly 60.

[0030] The frame 10 has a loading chute 101 with an opening at the front end. In this embodiment, the frame 10 is provided with guide posts 11 extending up and down, and the guide posts 11 are two symmetrically arranged in a transverse direction.

[0031] The controller 20 is installed on the frame 10 .

[0032] The loading member 30 is movably mounted on the frame 10 and positioned within the loading trough 101. In this embodiment, the loading member 30 comprises a plurality of loading plates 31 arranged laterally and spaced apart. A slot 301 is provided between adjacent loading plates 31 to allow an external loader to extend therethrough and place the material on the loading member 30. Connecting portions 32 are provided at each end of the loading member 30 to engage with the guide posts 11. The engagement of the connecting portions 32 with the guide posts 11 stabilizes the movement of the loading member 30.

[0033] The first driving mechanism 40 is disposed on the frame 10 and drives the loading member 30 to move back and forth. The first driving mechanism 40 is connected to the controller 20 . In this embodiment, the first driving mechanism 40 is located beside one of the guide pillars 11 .

[0034] The feeding assembly 50 is arranged on the frame 10, and the input end of the feeding assembly 50 is located beside the rear end side of the loading trough 101, the output end of the feeding assembly 50 is communicated with the external processing equipment, and the feeding assembly 50 is connected to the controller 20; in this embodiment, the feeding assembly 50 includes a first transmission shaft 51, a second transmission shaft 52 and a second driving mechanism 53, the first transmission shaft 51 can be arranged on the frame 10 for back and forth transmission and is located beside the loading trough 101; the second transmission shaft 52 can be arranged on the frame 10 for rotating back and forth around itself and is located above the first transmission shaft 51; the second driving mechanism 53 is arranged on the frame 10 and drives the first transmission shaft 51 to transmit back and forth, through the cooperation of the first transmission shaft 51 and the second transmission shaft 52, so that when loading, the circuit board passes between the first transmission shaft 51 and the second transmission shaft and is transported outward through the first transmission shaft 51, and at the same time, the second transmission shaft 52 can limit the circuit board in the upper and lower directions. The first transmission shaft 51 and the second transmission shaft 52 are both arranged in sequence front to back. The more first transmission shafts 51 and second transmission shafts 52 there are, the more stable the transmission process of the circuit board on the feeding assembly 50 is.

[0035] The picking assembly 60 is arranged on the frame 10 and is located directly above the loading piece 30, and the height of the picking assembly 30 corresponds to that of the feeding assembly 50. The output end of the picking assembly 60 moves back and forth between the loading piece 30 and the feeding assembly 50. The picking assembly 60 is connected to the controller 20. In this embodiment, the material picking assembly 60 includes a material picking rack 61, a movable rack 62, a third driving mechanism 63, a suction cup 64 and a fourth driving mechanism 65; the material picking rack 61 is arranged on the frame 10 and is located directly above the loading part 30; the movable rack 62 can be movably arranged on the material picking rack 61 back and forth; the third driving mechanism 63 is arranged on the material picking rack 61 and drives the movable rack 62 to move back and forth, and the third driving mechanism 63 is connected to the controller 20; the suction cup 64 can be movably arranged on the movable rack 62 up and down and move back and forth with the movable rack 62, and the suction cup 64 is connected to the controller 20; the fourth driving mechanism 65 is arranged on the movable rack 62 and drives the suction cup 64 to move up and down, and the fourth driving mechanism 65 is connected to the controller 20. When loading, the circuit board on the loading rack 30 is sucked by the suction cup 64 and then sent into the feeding assembly 50. The suction cups 64 are arranged in two rows, front and back, and each row includes multiple suction cups 64 arranged at intervals in the horizontal direction. Correspondingly, the fourth driving mechanism 65 is also arranged in multiples, and each driving mechanism 65 drives the corresponding suction cup 64 to move up and down. The multiple suction cups 64 can ensure that the process of the material picking component 64 sucking the circuit board is more stable, thereby preventing the circuit board from falling off.

[0036] The working principle of this embodiment is described in detail as follows:

[0037] When loading, the suction cup to be loaded is first loaded onto the loading piece 30 through an external loader, and then the loading piece 30 is driven upward by the first drive mechanism. When it moves to a certain height, the fourth drive mechanism 65 drives the suction cup 64 to move downward and suck up the topmost circuit board. Then the loading piece 30 moves downward for a distance, and then the third drive mechanism 63 drives the movable frame 62 and the suction cup 64 on the movable frame 62 to move toward the input end of the feeding assembly 50. When one end of the circuit board extends between the first transmission shaft 51 and the second transmission shaft 52, the suction cup 64 releases the circuit board and continues to move backward from the first transmission shaft 51 to the external processing equipment. Then repeat the above steps to complete the loading process of the next circuit board.

[0038] The design focus of the present invention is that: by providing a loading piece, a feeding assembly and a picking assembly; and cooperating with the input end of the feeding assembly to be located beside the rear end side of the loading trough, the output end of the feeding assembly is connected to the external processing equipment, the picking assembly corresponds to the height of the feeding assembly, and the output end of the picking assembly moves back and forth between the loading piece and the feeding assembly, so that when loading, the picking assembly cooperates with the movement of the loading piece to load the circuit board on the loading piece into the feeding assembly, and the circuit board is loaded into the external processing equipment through the feeding assembly, so that the overall degree of automation is higher, which not only reduces labor costs, but also has higher efficiency in automatic loading, thereby meeting the processing requirements of the automated equipment and ensuring the overall processing efficiency of the circuit board.

[0039] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the technical scope of the present invention. Therefore, any minor modifications, equivalent changes and modifications made to the above embodiments based on the technical essence of the present invention are still within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention.
