Description

[0002] A PCB (Printed Circuit Board) is a core component of electronic products, providing physical support and electrical connections for electronic components. As electronic devices become increasingly complex, PCB manufacturing processes have evolved into more intricate and sophisticated procedures.

[0003] The PCB manufacturing process is complex, requiring the use of carriers to hold the PCBs during the workflow. The PCB manufacturing process typically involves two soldering steps: reflow soldering and wave soldering, each requiring different carriers.

[0004] During the reflow soldering process, the PCB circuit board needs to be transferred to a dedicated reflow soldering carrier during loading and removed from the carrier during unloading. Similarly, during the wave soldering process, the PCB circuit board needs to be transferred to a dedicated wave soldering carrier during loading and removed from the carrier during unloading.

[0005] In addition, sometimes in order to improve loading efficiency, multiple PCB circuit boards are mounted on the same carrier, so it is also necessary to transfer the PCB circuit boards to the corresponding carrier.

[0006] Currently, these transfer operations are all done manually, which is labor-intensive, resource-intensive, and inefficient. This problem urgently needs to be solved. Utility Model Content

The first belts 10 and the first lead screws 6 are perpendicular to each other. The first lead screws 6 are mounted on the first bracket 7, which is mounted on the support platform 1. To improve the positional accuracy of the product during transport, a first side plate 9 is... A first notch is made on the first side plate 9, which is 1mm higher than the first belt. The first notch is located at the rear section of the first side plate 9 (Note: the section near the starting end of the first belt 10 is the front section of the first side plate 9, and the section near the end of the first belt 10 is the rear section of the first side plate 9). The first side-push positioning cylinder 8 is installed on the outer side of the first side plate 9, and the piston rod of the first side-push positioning cylinder 8 is located in the first notch and facing the conveyor belt. At this time, when the product 16 transported on the conveyor belt is transported to the end of the first belt 10, the piston rod of the first side-push positioning cylinder 8 passes through the first notch and pushes the product 16 toward and against the side wall of the first side plate 9 on the other side.

[0040] The transfer assembly includes a transfer belt, a rotating component 18, two second lead screws 13, a second bracket 14, and a second side-push positioning cylinder 15.

[0047] Meanwhile, the conveyor belt transports the product to be processed 16 (e.g., PCB board); when the product to be processed 16 is transported to the end of the conveyor belt, the piston rod of the first side-push positioning cylinder 8 passes through the first notch and pushes the product to be processed 16 toward and against the side wall of the first side plate 9 on the other side.

[0048] (3) The robotic arm 5 picks up the product to be processed 16 and places it on the carrier 17 (at this time, the carrier 17 carries the product to be processed 16 and completes the transfer work). The transfer belt continues to run. When the carrier 17 is transported to the end of the transfer belt, the piston rod of the second side push positioning cylinder 15 passes through the second notch and pushes the carrier 17 toward and against the side wall of the second side plate 12 on the other side.

[0049] Afterwards, carrier 17 is transferred to the reflow soldering or wave soldering process for subsequent processing.

[0050] The specific workflow for downloading is as follows (please refer to [link]). Figure 8 and Figure 9 ):

[0051] (1) The finished product 16 (e.g., PCB board) is transported to the starting end of the transfer belt; the transfer belt continues to run, and when the carrier 17 is transported to the end of the transfer belt, the piston rod of the second side-push positioning cylinder 15 passes through the second notch and pushes the carrier 17 toward and against the side wall of the second side plate 12 on the other side.

[0052] (2) The robotic arm 5 picks up the finished product 16 and places it at the starting end of the conveyor belt; the conveyor belt continues to transport the finished product 16, which can proceed to the next process or be recycled.

[0053] Simultaneously, a vehicle retrieval operation is performed. The rotating component 18 rotates and drives the starting end of the transfer belt to dock with the vehicle support platform. The robotic arm 5 picks up the vehicle 17 and places it on the vehicle support platform.
