Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of material storage technology, and in particular to a material cart. Background Technology

[0002] In the manufacturing process, processing equipment is typically needed to process and assemble received materials to form the required components or products. Furthermore, to improve production efficiency and quality, a manufacturing workshop usually houses multiple processing machines that can perform the same or different processing steps to meet specific requirements.

[0003] For processing equipment to operate effectively, it is necessary to supply materials to the equipment and collect the processed materials. In traditional technology, this is accomplished by setting up loading and unloading modules for each processing unit. The loading module supplies materials to the processing unit, and the unloading module collects the processed materials.

[0004] However, in practical applications, when there are many processing devices, the traditional loading and unloading methods result in a large number of loading and unloading modules, occupying a large amount of space and requiring a large amount of energy. Utility Model Content

[0005] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a material cart that can reduce space occupation and energy consumption, addressing the problems of traditional loading and unloading methods occupying a large space and requiring a large amount of energy.

[0006] A material cart, comprising:

[0007] The support member has multiple layers of brackets;

[0008] The first material receiving section is used to receive materials to be processed.

[0009] The second material receiving section is used to receive processed materials;

Meanwhile, the term “and / or” as used in this specification includes any and all combinations of the associated listed items.

[0037] This application provides a material cart for storing and transporting materials. For example... Figure 1 As shown, the material cart includes a support member 100, a first material receiving section 200, and a second material receiving section 300. The first material receiving section 200 is used to receive materials to be processed, and the second material receiving section 300 is used to receive processed materials. The support member 100 has multiple layer supports, and the first material receiving section 200 and the second material receiving section 300 are respectively arranged on the same or different layer supports. Therefore, a single material cart can accommodate both materials to be processed and processed materials, eliminating the need for separate loading and unloading carts. This reduces the number of material carts, thereby reducing the occupied volume and energy consumption. Furthermore, the materials to be processed and processed materials are located on different layer supports, making them easy to handle and improving the flexibility of loading and unloading.

[0038] The support member 100 serves as a load-bearing component of the material cart, supporting multiple devices within the cart. This facilitates the installation of each device and ensures relative stability in their positions, thereby improving the cart's operational stability. The structure of the support member 100 is not unique and can be determined based on actual needs. For example, the support member 100 has multiple layered supports, with the first material receiving portion 200 and the second material receiving portion 300 respectively disposed on different layered supports.

[0039] It is understood that the support member 100 can have two, three, or more layers of supports, which can be determined according to actual needs. Different layers of supports are set at different heights on the support member 100. Taking the support member 100 placed on the ground as an example, the distance between each layer of supports and the ground is different. Each layer of supports can be used to set objects, expanding the accommodating space of the support member 100.

[0040] A first material receiving section 200 is disposed on the support member 100 for receiving materials to be processed. The materials to be processed refer to circuit boards that have not yet been processed by the processing equipment or circuit boards to be fed into the processing equipment. After receiving the materials to be processed, the processing equipment can process them to form processed materials. The type of the first material receiving section 200 is not limited; for example, it can be a material tray or a material box. The material tray is a disc-shaped container with an opening on the top for easy retrieval of the materials to be processed. The top cover of the material box is closable, providing better protection for the materials to be processed when the top cover is closed.

[0041] The shape and size of the first material receiving section 200 can be determined according to actual needs. To facilitate the accommodating of materials to be processed, the shape of the first material receiving section 200 can match the shape of the materials to be processed; the matching can be identical or similar. For example, if the shape of the materials to be processed is rectangular, the shape of the first material receiving section 200 can also be rectangular, or the shape of the accommodating space of the first material receiving section 200 can be rectangular, which helps reduce space waste. Furthermore, the size of the first material receiving section 200 is larger than the size of the materials to be processed, so that the materials to be processed can be completely placed within the first material receiving section 200, which helps to better store and protect the materials to be processed. Alternatively, the size of the first material receiving section 200 can also be an integer multiple of the size of the materials to be processed, so that multiple materials to be processed can be accommodated simultaneously, increasing storage capacity. The number of first material receiving sections 200 can be one or more, which can be determined according to the storage requirements of the materials to be processed.

[0042] The second material receiving section 300 is disposed on the support member 100, and can be on a different layer of the support member 100 than the first material receiving section 200, which is disposed on the first material receiving section 200. The second material receiving section 300 is used to receive processed materials. Processed materials refer to materials that have been processed by the processing equipment and removed from the equipment. The type of the second material receiving section 300 is not limited; for example, it can be a material tray or a material box. The material tray is a disc-shaped container with an opening at the top, facilitating the placement of processed materials. The top cover of the material box is closable, providing better protection for the contained processed materials when the top cover is closed.

[0043] The shape and size of the second material receiving section 300 can be determined according to actual needs. To facilitate the accommodating of processed materials, the shape of the second material receiving section 300 can match the shape of the processed materials; the matching can be identical or similar. For example, if the shape of the processed materials is rectangular, the shape of the second material receiving section 300 can also be rectangular, or the shape of the accommodating space of the second material receiving section 300 can be rectangular, which helps reduce space waste. Furthermore, the size of the second material receiving section 300 is larger than the size of the processed materials so that the processed materials can be completely housed within the second material receiving section 300, which facilitates better storage and protection of the processed materials. Alternatively, the size of the second material receiving section 300 can also be an integer multiple of the size of the processed materials so that multiple processed materials can be accommodated simultaneously, increasing storage capacity. The number of second material receiving sections 300 can be one or more, which can be determined according to the storage requirements of the processed materials.

[0044] In an expandable manner, the type, shape, and size parameters of the second material receiving section 300 can be entirely or partially the same as those of the first material receiving section 200. Since the shape and size of the material before and after processing may not change significantly, setting the type, shape, and size parameters of the second material receiving section 300 to be entirely or partially the same as those of the first material receiving section 200 can both meet the requirements for accommodating the material to be processed and the processed material, and reduce the manufacturing difficulty of the first material receiving section 200 and the second material receiving section 300.

[0045] When the support member 100 has multiple layer supports, the first material receiving section 200 and the second material receiving section 300 are respectively provided on the same but different layer supports. When the first material receiving section 200 and the second material receiving section 300 are respectively provided on the same layer support, space can be saved. When the first material receiving section 200 and the second material receiving section 300 are respectively provided on different layer supports, the materials to be processed stored in the first material receiving section 200 and the processed materials stored in the second material receiving section 300 are located in different layer support spaces. When retrieving materials to be processed and storing processed materials, operations are performed in different layer spaces, which reduces the possibility of mistaking processed materials taken from the second material receiving section 300 for materials to be processed and vice versa, thus improving the convenience of retrieving and placing materials. This not only expands the storage space of the support member 100 through multiple layer supports but also improves the accuracy of accommodating materials to be processed in the first material receiving section 200 and processed materials in the second material receiving section 300.

[0046] In this embodiment, the material cart includes a support member 100, a first material receiving section 200, and a second material receiving section 300. The first material receiving section 200 is used to receive materials to be processed, and the second material receiving section 300 is used to receive processed materials. The support member 100 has multiple layer supports, and the first material receiving section 200 and the second material receiving section 300 are respectively arranged on the same or different layer supports. Thus, a single material cart can accommodate both materials to be processed and processed materials, eliminating the need for separate loading and unloading carts. This reduces the number of material carts, thereby reducing the occupied volume and energy consumption. Furthermore, since the materials to be processed and processed materials are located on the same or different layer supports, they are easy to handle, and the flexibility of loading and unloading is improved.

[0047] The structure of the support member 100 is not unique; in one exemplary embodiment, such as... Figure 2 As shown, a hollow structure is formed between the two layer supports 110 of the support member 100. An open receiving space is formed on the side of the uppermost layer support away from the other layer support. One of the uppermost layer support and the other layer support is provided with a first material receiving part 200, and the other is provided with a second material receiving part 300.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first material receiving portion 200 and the second material receiving portion 300 are disposed on different layer supports. In an optional embodiment, the first material receiving portion 200 is disposed on the uppermost layer support for easy access to or placement of the material to be processed, while the second material receiving portion 300 is disposed on a non-uppermost layer support to provide appropriate protection for the processed material. In another optional embodiment, the first material receiving portion 200 is disposed on a non-uppermost layer support, and the second material receiving portion 300 is disposed on the uppermost layer support.

[0049] The support member 100 may have two, three, four, or more layered supports 110. When the support member 100 has two layered supports 110, the hollow structure formed between the two layered supports 110 can be either a hollow structure between all adjacent layered supports 110, or a hollow structure between some adjacent layered supports 110, while other adjacent layered supports 110 are not hollow. Hollow structures facilitate material handling, while non-hollow structures help protect the stored materials. Therefore, different structures of the support member 100 can meet different containment requirements and can be determined according to actual needs.

[0050] Different layer supports 110 are located at different heights of the support member 100, with the uppermost layer support being the one furthest from the bearing surface of the support member 100. Taking the bearing surface of the support member 100 as the ground as an example, the uppermost layer support is the one furthest from the ground, i.e., the tallest layer support.

[0051] The side of the topmost layer support that is furthest from the other layer supports forms an open accommodating space, which facilitates operation. Taking the support 100 as an example where the support is on the ground, the side of the topmost layer support that is furthest from the other layer supports refers to the side of the topmost layer support that is furthest from the ground, i.e., the upper side of the topmost layer support.

[0052] In this embodiment, a hollow structure is formed between the two layer supports. An open receiving space is formed on the side of the uppermost layer support away from the other layer support. One of the uppermost layer support and the other layer support is provided with a first material receiving part, and the other is provided with a second material receiving part. Thus, the material cart's receiving space can meet the needs of picking up and placing different materials, improving the performance of the material cart.

[0053] Furthermore, in an exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the material cart also includes a third material receiving section 400, which is disposed on the support member 100 and is used to receive a separator. The separator is used to separate two materials to be processed and / or processed materials. The third material receiving section 400 is disposed on a different layer support from the first material receiving section 200 or the second material receiving section 300, or the third material receiving section 400 is disposed at an angle to the first material receiving section 200 or the second material receiving section 300.

[0054] The location of the third material receiving portion 400 on the support member 100 is not unique. In one optional embodiment, the third material receiving portion 400 and the first material receiving portion 200 are located on different layer supports; in another optional embodiment, the third material receiving portion 400 and the second material receiving portion 300 are located on different layer supports; in yet another optional embodiment, the third material receiving portion 400 and the first material receiving portion 200 are arranged at an angle to each other; and in yet another optional embodiment, the third material receiving portion 400 and the second material receiving portion 300 are arranged at an angle to each other. Arranging at an angle means that the two material receiving portions are arranged opposite each other on the layer supports, and the two material receiving portions are not parallel.

[0055] The third material receiving section 400 is disposed on a different layer support than the first material receiving section 200 or the second material receiving section 300. This facilitates full utilization of the space in the support member 100 and reduces confusion with other materials contained in the same layer support. The third material receiving section 400 is disposed at an angle to the first material receiving section 200 or the second material receiving section 300. This means that the third material receiving section 400 and the first material receiving section 200 or the second material receiving section 300 are disposed at an angle to each other on the same layer support. This not only fully utilizes the space in the same layer support but also facilitates the loading and unloading of objects from the third material receiving section 400 and the oppositely disposed first material receiving section 200 or the second material receiving section 300.

[0056] The function of the separator is to isolate, specifically to separate two materials to be processed and / or two processed materials, so as to prevent damage between the two materials to be processed and / or the processed materials.

[0057] Taking the use of a spacer to isolate materials to be processed as an example, the type of spacer is not limited and can be determined according to the type of materials to be processed. For example, if the material to be processed is a circuit board, the spacer can be a release liner. Placing release liner between two circuit boards can reduce mutual damage between them. Furthermore, the shape and size of the spacer are not limited and can be determined according to the type of materials to be processed. For example, the shape of the spacer can match the shape of the material to be processed; the matching can be the same or similar, to increase the effective isolation space. The size of the spacer can be greater than or equal to the size of the material to be processed to expand the isolation range and enhance the effect of isolation protection.

[0058] The type of the third material receiving section 400 is not limited; for example, it can be a material tray or a material box. The material tray is a disc-shaped container with an opening on the top for easy access to the separators. The top cover of the material box is closable, and when the top cover is closed, it can better protect the separators it contains.

[0059] The shape and size of the third material receiving section 400 can be determined according to actual needs. To facilitate the accommodating of the separators, the shape of the third material receiving section 400 can match the shape of the separators; the matching can be identical or similar. For example, if the separator is rectangular, the shape of the third material receiving section 400 can also be rectangular, or the shape of the accommodating space of the third material receiving section 400 can be rectangular, which helps reduce space waste. Furthermore, the size of the third material receiving section 400 is larger than the size of the separator so that the separator can be completely housed within the third material receiving section 400, which facilitates better storage and protection of the separator. Alternatively, the size of the third material receiving section 400 can also be an integer multiple of the size of the separator so that multiple separators can be accommodated simultaneously, increasing storage capacity. The number of third material receiving sections 400 can be one or more, which can be determined according to the storage requirements of the separators.

[0060] In addition, spacers can also be used to isolate two processed materials. The setup method for spacers isolating processed materials can refer to the setup method for isolating materials to be processed. The type, shape, and size of the spacers can be determined according to the type of processed materials, and will not be elaborated further here.

[0061] In this embodiment, the material cart also includes a third material receiving section 400, which is used to receive a separator. The separator can reduce mutual damage between two materials to be processed and / or processed materials.

[0062] In one embodiment, the material cart further includes a fourth material receiving section for receiving damaged material. The fourth material receiving section is disposed on a different layer support from the first material receiving section 200 or the second material receiving section 300, or the fourth material receiving section is disposed at an angle to the first material receiving section 200 or the second material receiving section 300.

[0063] The location of the fourth material receiving portion on the support 100 is not unique. In one optional embodiment, the fourth material receiving portion and the first material receiving portion 200 are located on different layer supports; in another optional embodiment, the fourth material receiving portion and the second material receiving portion 300 are located on different layer supports; in yet another optional embodiment, the fourth material receiving portion and the first material receiving portion 200 are arranged at an angle to each other; and in yet another optional embodiment, the fourth material receiving portion and the second material receiving portion 300 are arranged at an angle to each other. Arranging at an angle means that the two material receiving portions are arranged opposite each other on the layer supports, and the two material receiving portions are not parallel.

[0064] The fourth material receiving section is located on a different layer support than the first material receiving section 200 or the second material receiving section 300. This facilitates full utilization of the space in the support member 100 and reduces confusion with other materials contained in the same layer support. The fourth material receiving section is arranged at an angle to the first material receiving section 200 or the second material receiving section 300. This means that the fourth material receiving section and the first material receiving section 200 or the second material receiving section 300 are arranged at an angle to each other on the same layer support. This not only fully utilizes the space in the same layer support but also facilitates the loading and unloading of objects in the fourth material receiving section and the oppositely located first material receiving section 200 or second material receiving section 300.

[0065] The damaged material can be determined by staff, by visual inspection devices, or by other means; no limitation is made here. The damaged material can be either material awaiting processing or material already processed.

[0066] The type of the fourth material receiving section is not limited; for example, it can be a material tray or a material box. The material tray is a disc-shaped container with an opening on the top, which facilitates the placement of damaged materials.

[0067] The type, shape, and size of the fourth material receiving section can be entirely or partially the same as those of the first material receiving section 200 or the second material receiving section 300. Since the damaged material may originate from materials awaiting processing or already processed materials, setting the type, shape, and size of the fourth material receiving section to be entirely or partially the same as those of the first material receiving section 200 or the second material receiving section 300 satisfies the need to accommodate the damaged material while reducing the manufacturing difficulty of the fourth material receiving section. The number of fourth material receiving sections can be one or more, determined according to the storage requirements of the damaged material.

[0068] In this embodiment, the material cart also includes a fourth material receiving section, which is used to receive damaged materials. The fourth material receiving section facilitates the timely recovery of damaged materials and improves the quality of processed materials.

[0069] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the uppermost layer support 110 includes an adjustment plate 112 and a position adjustment component 500. The first material receiving part 200 or the second material receiving part 300 is placed on the adjustment plate 112. The position adjustment component 500 adjusts the angle of the adjustment plate 112 to adjust the angle of the first material receiving part 200 or the second material receiving part 300.

[0070] The position adjustment component 500 is disposed on the uppermost layer bracket of the support member 100 and is mechanically connected to the adjustment plate 112, which is provided with a first material receiving part 200 or a second material receiving part 300. When the position adjustment component 500 adjusts the angle of the adjustment plate 112, it can adjust the angle of the first material receiving part 200 or the second material receiving part 300 disposed on the adjustment plate 112.

[0071] Taking the adjustment of the angle of the first material receiving part 200 by the position adjustment component 500 as an example, the angle of the first material receiving part 200 refers to the angle of the first material receiving part 200 relative to the uppermost layer support.

[0072] The position adjustment component 500 can be a movable device. When the position adjustment component 500 moves, it drives the adjustment plate 112 to move, thereby changing the position of the adjustment plate 112 and the position of the first material receiving portion 200 or the second material receiving portion 300 disposed on the adjustment plate 112. The structure of the position adjustment component 500 is not unique and can be determined according to actual needs. For example, the position adjustment component 500 can be a spring, with one end of the spring disposed on the uppermost layer bracket of the support member 100 and the other end of the spring mechanically connected to the adjustment plate 112. Thus, when the spring extends or retracts, the distance between the adjustment plate 112 and the support member 100 can be changed, that is, the position of the first material receiving portion 200 can be changed.

[0073] Since the first material receiving section 200 may contain multiple stacked materials to be processed, as the number of materials to be processed increases, the thickness of the remaining stack of materials to be processed will decrease. In this case, the position of the first material receiving section 200 can be changed by the position adjustment component 500, moving the first material receiving section 200 closer to the person or device grasping the materials, thereby improving the convenience of retrieving the materials to be processed. It is understood that the adjustment process of the position adjustment component 500 for the second material receiving section 300 is similar to the adjustment process for the first material receiving section 200, and will not be described again here.

[0074] In this embodiment, the uppermost layer support 110 includes an adjusting plate 112 and a position adjustment component 500. The first material receiving portion 200 or the second material receiving portion 300 is placed on the adjusting plate 112. The position adjustment component 500 adjusts the angle of the adjusting plate 112 to adjust the angle of the first material receiving portion 200 or the second material receiving portion 300. This allows for more flexible positioning of the first material receiving portion 200 or the second material receiving portion 300, improving the convenience of retrieving materials to be processed or processed materials.

[0075] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 2As shown, the uppermost layer support includes a frame 114, an adjustment plate 112 is disposed inside the frame 114, one of the adjustment plate 112 and the frame 114 is fixedly connected to the first end of the position adjustment component 500, and the other is connected to the second end of the position adjustment component 500.

[0076] Adjustment plate 112 and frame 114 are connected to different positions of the position adjustment component, and the relative positions of adjustment plate 112 and frame 114 can be changed. Depending on the structure of the position adjustment component, the arrangement of adjustment plate 112 and frame 114 may differ.

[0077] Taking the position adjustment component 500 including a telescopic component as an example, the fixed end of the telescopic component is set on the frame 114 and fixedly connected to the frame 114, and the movable end of the telescopic component is mechanically connected to the adjustment plate 112.

[0078] The telescopic component includes a fixed component and a movable component. The movable component is movably connected to the fixed component, and its relative position to the fixed component can be changed when the movable component moves. The end of the fixed component away from the movable component is the fixed end of the telescopic component, and the end of the movable component away from the fixed component is the movable end of the telescopic component.

[0079] For example, the telescopic component may include a first rod and a second rod, which are movably connected. The first rod can move on the second rod to change the length by which the first rod extends beyond the second rod. In this case, the first rod is a movable component, and the second rod is a fixed component. Alternatively, the telescopic component may also be a push rod motor, with the motor connected to the push rod; the motor is a fixed component, and the push rod is a movable component.

[0080] In this embodiment, the uppermost layer support includes a frame 114, and an adjusting plate 112 is disposed within the frame 114. One of the adjusting plate 112 and the frame 114 is fixedly connected to the first end of the position adjustment assembly 500, and the other is connected to the second end of the position adjustment assembly 500. Thus, when the position adjustment assembly 500 moves, the adjusting plate 112 can move, causing a change in the position of the first material receiving portion 200 or the second material receiving portion 300.

[0081] Furthermore, the number and placement of the telescopic components are not limited. Taking the mechanical connection between the telescopic component and the frame 114 and the adjusting plate 112 as an example, when there is one telescopic component, if the moving end of the telescopic component is mechanically connected to one side of the adjusting plate 112, then when the moving part of the telescopic component moves relative to the fixed part, one side of the adjusting plate 112 connected to the moving end of the telescopic component can be raised or lowered, thereby changing the angle of the adjusting plate 112. Alternatively, when there are two telescopic components, if the moving ends of the two telescopic components are mechanically connected to opposite sides of the adjusting plate 112 respectively, then when the moving parts of the two telescopic components have the same displacement relative to the fixed part, the height of the entire adjusting plate 112 relative to the frame 114 can be raised or lowered. When the moving parts of the two telescopic components have different displacements relative to the fixed part, the angle of the adjusting plate 112 relative to the frame 114 can also be adjusted. Extendively, in other embodiments, the number and placement of the telescopic components can also be other, and are not limited here.

[0082] In this embodiment, the uppermost layer support includes a frame 114, and an adjusting plate 112 is disposed within the frame 114. One of the adjusting plate 112 and the frame 114 is fixedly connected to the first end of the position adjustment assembly 500, and the other is connected to the second end of the position adjustment assembly 500. Therefore, when the position adjustment assembly 500 moves, the adjusting plate 112 can move, causing the position of the first material receiving portion 200 or the second material receiving portion 300 to change, making it convenient to use.

[0083] In addition, in an exemplary embodiment, the material cart also includes a vision inspection device disposed on the support 100 for acquiring image information of the processed material.

[0084] It is understandable that the number of visual inspection devices can be one or more.

[0085] When there is only one vision inspection device, it can be installed on the support member 100 to acquire image information of the processed material. Furthermore, the vision inspection device can also be installed in the second material receiving section to acquire image information of the processed material at a closer distance.

[0086] When there are two vision inspection devices, each device can acquire image information of different processed materials, or acquire image information of a single processed material from different angles, thereby improving the comprehensiveness of the acquired information. Both vision inspection devices can be located on the support member 100, both on the second material receiving section 300, or one on the support member 100 and the other on the second material receiving section 300. When there are more than two vision inspection devices, the placement of each device can be determined according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0087] The type of visual inspection device is not limited, as long as it can obtain image information based on a visual inspection method. For example, a visual inspection device may include a visible light image inspection device, which obtains image information by acquiring an image of the processed material. Specifically, the visible light image inspection device can be a CCD camera. The visible light image inspection device has a simple inspection process and accurate results. It is understood that in other embodiments, the type of visual inspection device can also be other, as long as those skilled in the art believe it is feasible.

[0088] In an expandable manner, after the vision inspection device acquires image information of the processed material, it can send the image information to other devices for processing, such as to a display device for display.

[0089] In this embodiment, the material cart also includes a vision inspection device, which is disposed on the support member 100 and is used to collect image information of the processed materials. This allows for further processing based on the image information, enriching the functionality of the material cart.

[0090] In one exemplary embodiment, the material cart further includes a controller, which is communicatively connected to a vision inspection device for receiving image information and comparing the image information with preset image information to generate a comparison result.

[0091] The preset image information is pre-stored information, which may include pre-stored image information of processed materials. The preset image information represents the image information of processed materials in a normal state.

[0092] The controller communicates with the vision inspection device to receive image information and compare it with preset image information to generate a comparison result. The comparison result includes a match or a mismatch. A match indicates that the similarity between the two images is greater than or equal to a preset similarity threshold, while a mismatch indicates that the similarity between the two images is less than the preset similarity threshold. The specific value of the preset similarity threshold is not limited; for example, it can be any value within the range of 90%-100%.

[0093] The controller compares the image information with preset image information. If the comparison result shows a mismatch, it indicates that the processed material corresponding to the image information is in an abnormal state, such as being damaged or not meeting processing requirements. In this case, the controller can send an error message to the display device so that staff can address the issue promptly. If the comparison result shows a match, it indicates that the processed material corresponding to the image information is in a normal state, and loading and unloading can proceed normally.

[0094] In this embodiment, the material cart also includes a controller, which is communicatively connected to a vision inspection device. The controller receives image information, compares the image information with preset image information, and generates a comparison result. Therefore, by combining the controller and the vision inspection device, image inspection of processed materials can be performed, which helps improve material quality.

[0095] In one exemplary embodiment, the material cart also includes a correction structure. For example... Figure 3 As shown, both the first material receiving section 200 and the second material receiving section 300 are provided with a correction structure 610. The correction structure 610 is used to form a fixed receiving area to receive the material to be processed and the processed material. Specifically, a first fixed receiving area can be formed in the first material receiving section 200, and a second fixed area can be formed in the second material receiving section 300. The first fixed receiving area is used to receive the material to be processed, and the second fixed receiving area is used to receive the processed material.

[0096] The structure of the correction structure 610 is not unique. For example, the correction structure 610 includes one or more fixed edges, and the fixed receiving area formed by the correction structure 610 includes the positioning area where the fixed edges are located. The fixed edges are used as reference edges when placing the material to be processed and the processed material. When placing the material to be processed and the processed material, they are aligned with the fixed edges. It is understood that in other embodiments, the correction structure 610 can also have other structures, which are not limited here.

[0097] In this embodiment, the material cart also includes a correction structure. Both the first material receiving section 200 and the second material receiving section 300 are equipped with correction structures, which are used to form fixed receiving areas. The correction structure can provide position parameters, so that the materials to be processed and the processed materials can be placed neatly.

[0098] In one exemplary embodiment, the material cart also includes a fixing structure. For example... Figure 3As shown, both the first material receiving section 200 and the second material receiving section 300 are provided with a fixing structure 620. The fixing structure 620 is used to fix the material to be processed and the processed material. Specifically, the fixing structure 620 can fix the position of the material to be processed in the first material receiving section 200, and can also fix the position of the processed material in the second material receiving section 300.

[0099] The structure of the fixing structure 620 is not unique. For example, the fixing structure 620 can be a positioning pin, which is disposed in the first material receiving portion 200 to give the material to be processed a fixed position. When placing the material to be processed, it can be placed at the positioning pin to fix the position of each placed material. Furthermore, the positioning pin is disposed in the second material receiving portion 300 to give the processed material a fixed position. When placing the processed material, it can be placed at the positioning pin to fix the position of each placed processed material. It is understood that in other embodiments, the fixing structure 620 can also be other structures, which are not limited here.

[0100] In this embodiment, the material cart also includes a fixing structure. Both the first material receiving section 200 and the second material receiving section 300 are provided with fixing structures to fix the position of the material. By fixing the position of the material, material displacement can be reduced.

[0101] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the material cart also includes a motion component 700. The motion component 700 is connected to the support member 100 and is used to drive the support member 100 to move between processing equipment. It can be understood that when the motion component 700 drives the support member 100 to move, the object set on the support member 100 also moves along with the support member 100.

[0102] The type of motion component 700 is not limited, as long as it can drive the support member 100 to move between at least two processing devices. For example, the motion component 700 can be a wheel, which is located on the side of the support member 100 closest to the ground. The wheel can move the support member 100 on the ground, allowing the material cart to reach the locations of different processing devices, facilitating the supply of materials to be processed to different processing devices and the collection of processed materials. The wheel structure is relatively simple and easy to use.

[0103] In this embodiment, the material cart also includes a motion component connected to the support member 100, which drives the support member 100 to move between processing equipment. This allows one material cart to provide loading and unloading functions for at least two processing equipment, reducing the number of material carts, thereby reducing the occupied volume, lowering energy consumption, and improving the flexibility of loading and unloading.

[0104] To better understand the above embodiments, a detailed explanation is provided below with reference to a specific embodiment. In one embodiment, as follows... Figure 1-3 As shown, the material cart includes a support member 100, a first material receiving section 200, a second material receiving section 300, a third material receiving section 400, a fourth material receiving section, a motion assembly, a position adjustment assembly 500, a vision inspection device, a controller, a correction structure 610, and a fixing structure 620. The support member 100 is a support frame including two layers of supports. The first material receiving section 200 is a material tray for holding materials to be processed, the second material receiving section 300 is a material tray for holding processed materials, the third material receiving section 400 is a material tray for holding separators (isolation paper), and the fourth material receiving section is an NG (No Good) material tray for holding damaged materials. The motion assembly includes wheels located on the ground side of the support member 100. The position adjustment assembly 500 includes multiple retractable members located on opposite sides of the material trays. The visual inspection device includes a CCD (Charge Coupled Device Camera) and a controller that performs AOI (Automated Optical Inspection) based on the image information acquired by the CCD camera. The fixed structure is a pin-type structure.

[0105] The material cart can be placed on the ground and moved around. It is equipped with various components to achieve a wide range of functions, including: a tray for materials to be processed, a tray for processed materials, release paper, a no-go tray, a alignment guide, a pin fitting structure, and lifting and angle adjustment components. The release paper is used to separate different materials, such as PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards), to prevent direct friction damage. The no-go tray is used to hold damaged materials. The alignment guide corrects the position of materials when they are placed on the trays (similar to aligning a stack of papers), and the pin fitting structure secures the stacked materials. The material cart can be equipped with a CCD camera for AOI inspection after material unloading.

[0106] The material cart in this embodiment can simultaneously load and unload materials, and can also move between multiple processing devices, making it flexible, convenient, and space-saving.
