Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circuit board technology, and in particular to a storage plate structure used in the PCB substrate production process. Background Technology

[0002] PCBs are crucial components in electronic devices, used to connect and support electronic components. By laying conductive paths on an insulating substrate, PCBs form circuit networks, enabling electrical connections between electronic components. During PCB production, the storage structure is a vital component for ensuring smooth production processes, improving efficiency, and protecting PCBs from damage. The storage structure primarily stores and manages PCBs, ensuring they remain in good condition during transfers between processes. In practice, storage racks are used to hold PCBs, separated by partitions. The racks are set to a suitable rotation speed to allow for proper placement of the stacked PCBs. In conventional storage structures, after temporary storage, the conveyor uses outward friction to directly eject the PCBs. This method carries the risk of PCB wear.

[0003] To address the aforementioned issues, a storage plate structure for PCB substrate production process has been developed. Utility Model Content

[0004] To overcome the drawback of conventional storage plate structures where the conveying device directly sends the PCB board outward by pulling it outward through friction after temporary storage, which poses a risk of PCB board wear, this utility model provides a storage plate structure for PCB substrate production.

[0005] The technical implementation scheme of this utility model is as follows: a storage plate structure for PCB substrate production process, including a first mounting base, of which there are two, and a conveying assembly is installed between the left and right parts of each of the two first mounting bases. Each conveying assembly includes a second mounting base, with the inner sides of the left and right parts of each of the first mounting bases connected to the second mounting base. A servo motor is installed on each of the front second mounting bases, and a connecting rod is connected to the output shaft of each servo motor. Each connecting rod is rotatably connected to another adjacent second mounting base, and five pulleys are connected to each connecting rod. A third mounting base is placed between the left and right parts of each of the two first mounting bases, and five pulleys are also rotatably connected to each of the third mounting bases. Each of the pulleys is connected to a conveyor belt. Each pair of adjacent pulleys is connected to a support rod that supports the adjacent conveyor belt. A mounting frame is connected to the inner side of the first mounting base at the front. A drive motor is mounted on the mounting frame, and a mounting roller is connected to the output shaft of the drive motor. The mounting roller is rotatably connected to the adjacent first mounting base. Several slide rails are connected to the mounting roller, and connecting plates are slidably connected to each slide rail. Each connecting plate is connected to a support plate. The support plates and the conveyor belt are staggered, which helps the conveyor belt support the PCB board and simultaneously transport it to the left when the support plate for placing the PCB board is located below the conveyor belt.

[0006] Further explanation: It also includes side plates, with the connecting plate connected to both the front and rear sides. The upper front side of the slide rail is rotatably connected to a rotating component, and the lower part of the rotating component is rotatably connected to a locking component. The locking components all limit and lock the adjacent connecting plates, making it easier to replace and disassemble the adjacent connecting plates. The locking components are all threadedly connected to the adjacent slide rail.

[0007] To further clarify, all of the support rods are hollow structures.

[0008] To further explain, each of the bearing plates is connected to a connecting rod at the bottom to enhance stability.

[0009] To further explain, each of the rotating components is provided with a limiting block that limits the movement of adjacent locking components.

[0010] To further explain, all locking components are provided with anti-slip textures.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solutions, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0012] This invention arranges the support plate and the conveyor belt in a staggered manner. When the right-side conveyor belt transports the PCB board, the output shaft of the drive motor rotates, causing the mounting roller to rotate, which in turn causes the connecting plate and the support plate to rotate. The adjacent support plate at the bottom of the conveyor belt rotates counterclockwise to support the PCB board. The connecting rod on the support plate enhances the stability of the PCB board during movement. When the support plate carrying the PCB board moves to the left and is located at the bottom of the adjacent conveyor belt, the left-side conveyor belt supports the PCB board and transports it to the left, avoiding the situation where the PCB board is pulled out of the support plate and damaged. The support plate temporarily stores the PCB board, which helps to balance the overall speed of each production process and ensures the smooth progress of PCB board production.

Those skilled in the art will understand that terms such as "above," "below," "upward," "downward," etc., are used to describe the drawings and not to indicate a limitation on the scope of the invention as defined by the appended claims. Any numerical designations such as "first" or "second" are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of the invention in any way.

[0021] A storage plate structure used in the PCB substrate manufacturing process, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, the system includes two first mounting bases 1. A conveying assembly 2 is installed between the left and right sides of each of the two first mounting bases 1. Each conveying assembly 2 includes a second mounting base 21. The inner sides of the left and right sides of each first mounting base 1 are connected to a second mounting base 21. A servo motor 27 is mounted on each of the front second mounting bases 21. A connecting rod 22 is connected to the output shaft of each servo motor 27. Each connecting rod 22 is rotatably connected to another adjacent second mounting base 21. Five pulleys 23 are connected to each connecting rod 22. A third mounting base 26 is placed between the left and right sides of each of the two first mounting bases 1. Five pulleys 23 are also rotatably connected to each third mounting base 26. A conveyor belt 24 is wound between two adjacent pulleys 23 on the left and right sides. Each wheel 23 is connected to a support rod 25 that supports the adjacent conveyor belt 24. The support rods 25 are all hollow structures. The inner side of the first mounting seat 1 on the front side is connected to a mounting frame 3. The mounting frame 3 is equipped with a drive motor 4. The output shaft of the drive motor 4 is connected to a mounting roller 5. The mounting roller 5 is rotatably connected to the adjacent first mounting seat 1. Several slide rails 51 are connected to the mounting roller 5. Each slide rail 51 is slidably connected to a connecting plate 6. Each connecting plate 6 is connected to a bearing plate 7. The bearing plate 7 and the conveyor belt 24 are staggered. When the bearing plate 7, which is used to place the PCB board, is located below the conveyor belt 24, the conveyor belt 24 supports the PCB board and transports it to the left. Each bearing plate 7 is connected to a connecting rod to enhance stability.

[0022] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 As shown, it also includes side plates 8. The front and rear sides of the connecting plate 6 are connected to side plates 8. The upper front side of the slide rail 51 is rotatably connected to a rotating part 9. The rotating part 9 is provided with a limiting block that limits the adjacent locking part 10. The lower part of the rotating part 9 is rotatably connected to a locking part 10. The locking part 10 is provided with anti-slip texture. The locking part 10 limits and locks the adjacent connecting plate 6, making it easier to replace and disassemble the adjacent connecting plate 6. The locking part 10 is threadedly connected to the adjacent slide rail 51.

[0023] It should be noted that PCB boards are important components in electronic devices used to connect and support electronic components. PCB boards form circuit networks by laying conductive paths on an insulating substrate, thereby achieving electrical connections between electronic components. In the PCB board production process, the storage structure is an important component to ensure smooth production flow, improve production efficiency, and protect PCB boards from damage. The storage structure is mainly used to temporarily store and manage PCB boards, ensuring that the PCB boards remain in good condition during transfer between various processes. When there is a situation where the operating speed is inconsistent in the production process, this device can be used to balance the production speed. First, the servo motors 27 on both sides are started. The output shaft of the servo motor 27 rotates, driving the adjacent connecting rod 22 to rotate, which in turn drives the adjacent pulley 23 to rotate. This causes the pulley 23 on the other side and the conveyor belt 24 to move successively. The conveyor belt 24 drives the PCB board to move from right to left. The support plate 7 and the conveyor belt 24 are staggered. When the right-side conveyor belt 24 transports the PCB board, the output shaft of the drive motor 4 is activated. The rotation of the mounting roller 5 causes the connecting plate 6 and the support plate 7 to rotate. The support plate 7, which is adjacent to the lower part of the conveyor belt 24, rotates counterclockwise to support the PCB board. The connecting rod on the support plate 7 enhances the stability of the PCB board during movement. When the support plate 7 carrying the PCB board moves to the left and is located under the adjacent conveyor belt 24, the left conveyor belt 24 will support the PCB board and transport it to the left, preventing the PCB board from being pulled out of the support plate 7 and causing damage. The side plates 8 on the front and rear sides can prevent the PCB board from slipping during movement. The support plate 7 temporarily stores the PCB board, which helps to balance the overall speed of each production process and ensures the smooth production of the PCB board. Since the support plate 7 and the connecting plate 6 are consumables, they need to be replaced regularly. The locking part 10 can be rotated to release the connecting plate 6 from the locked state. Then, the rotating part 9 can be rotated to make room for the connecting plate 6 to slide. Then, the connecting plate 6 can be slid off the slide rail 51, thereby realizing the quick replacement and maintenance of the connecting plate 6.
