The following embodiments will further describe the relevant technical content of this utility model in detail, but the disclosed content is not intended to limit the scope of protection of this utility model.

[0026] It should be understood that while terms such as "first," "second," and "third" may be used in this document to describe various components or features, these components or features should not be limited by these terms. These terms are primarily used to distinguish one component from another, or one feature from another. Furthermore, the term "or" as used in this document should, as appropriate, include any combination of one or more related listed items.

[0027] Please see Figures 1 to 8As shown, this is an embodiment of the present invention. This embodiment discloses a sheet material conveying device 100, which can be used to simultaneously clean the sheet material 200 during the conveying process. The thickness of the sheet material 200 can be between 0.2 mm and 3.4 mm, and the type of the sheet material 200 can be adjusted and varied according to requirements. For example, the sheet material 200 can be a copper foil substrate, a glass substrate, or a composite substrate (such as a glass-copper foil composite substrate).

[0028] More specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the plate 200 includes an annular invalid segment 201 located at the periphery and a longitudinal invalid segment 202 located within the annular invalid segment 201. Furthermore, the plate 200 may, depending on actual needs, further include a transverse invalid segment 203 located within the annular invalid segment 201 and intersecting the longitudinal invalid segment 202.

[0029] The annular ineffective section 201, the longitudinal ineffective section 202, and the transverse ineffective section 203 refer to sections of the plate 200 that are not related to operation, thus facilitating contact between the plate conveying device 100 and the plate. Furthermore, the width of the annular ineffective section 201 can be between 5 mm and 15 mm, and the width of the longitudinal ineffective section 202 (or the transverse ineffective section 203) can be between 3 mm and 15 mm, but this invention is not limited to these dimensions.

[0030] The sheet material conveying equipment 100 includes a conveying device 1 and a cleaning device 2 corresponding to the conveying device 1. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the cleaning device 2 is described as being installed and fixed to the conveying device 1, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown in the present invention, the cleaning device 2 may be mounted on the floor or ceiling and adjacent to the conveying device 1.

[0031] As in this embodiment Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the conveying device 1 is used to receive the sheet material 200 transported from an upstream conveying device 300, and the conveying device 1 includes a conveying drive mechanism 11, and a plurality of side rollers 12 and a plurality of inner rollers 13 disposed on the conveying drive mechanism 11. The conveying drive mechanism 11 can drive the plurality of side rollers 12 and the plurality of inner rollers 13 to rotate, so as to receive and move the sheet material 200 along a conveying direction D1.

[0032] More specifically, the plurality of side rollers 12 are arranged in two columns, with each column of side rollers 12 being generally parallel to the conveying direction D1. A plurality of inner rollers 13 are located between the plurality of side rollers 12 and arranged in a column, this column of inner rollers 13 being parallel to the conveying direction D1 and generally located at the center of the two columns of side rollers 12. Thus, the plurality of side rollers 12 are used to abut against the annular ineffective section 201, and the plurality of inner rollers 13 are used to abut against the longitudinal ineffective section 202 of the plate 200, so that the plate 200 can be conveyed along the conveying direction D1.

[0033] Furthermore, while the multiple side rollers 12 and the multiple inner rollers 13 are described in this embodiment with substantially the same structure, this invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown in this invention, the structures of the side rollers 12 and the inner rollers 13 may differ depending on design requirements.

[0034] It should be further noted that although the conveying device 1 in this embodiment is described in terms of the combination of the conveying drive mechanism 11, the plurality of side rollers 12, and the plurality of inner rollers 13, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments of the present invention not shown, the plurality of side rollers 12 may also be implemented with other components; or, the plurality of inner rollers 13 may be omitted or replaced with other components according to design requirements.

[0035] Furthermore, for ease of understanding, the conveying drive mechanism 11 is described in this embodiment as follows, but the present invention is not limited thereto. More specifically, the conveying drive mechanism 11 includes a frame 111, a drive motor 112 mounted on the frame 111, and a transmission unit 113 (e.g., gear and shaft) mounted on the frame 111 and connected to the drive motor 112. The plurality of side rollers 12 and the plurality of inner rollers 13 are mounted on the transmission unit 113 (e.g., shaft) so that the drive motor 112 can drive the plurality of side rollers 12 and the plurality of inner rollers 13 to rotate synchronously through the transmission unit 113.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figures 3 to 5As shown, the cleaning device 2 is disposed on the frame 111 so that it faces the plate 200. In this embodiment, the cleaning device 2 includes a plurality of side pressure rollers 21 arranged in two rows, a plurality of inner pressure rollers 22 arranged in one row and located between two of the side pressure rollers 21, a plurality of guide rollers 23 adjacent to the plurality of side pressure rollers 21, an ultrasonic cleaning mechanism 24 facing the conveying device 1, and at least one air nozzle 25 located outside the ultrasonic cleaning mechanism 24, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments of the present invention not shown, the plurality of inner pressure rollers 22, the plurality of guide rollers 23, and / or at least one air nozzle 25 may be omitted or replaced with other components according to design requirements.

[0037] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the cleaning device 2 includes a bracket 26 mounted on the conveying device 1 (e.g., the frame 111), which is configured to support a plurality of the side pressure rollers 21, a plurality of the inner pressure rollers 22, a plurality of the guide rollers 23, the ultrasonic cleaning mechanism 24, and at least one of the air nozzles 25, so as to stably maintain their relative positional relationship. However, this invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown in this invention, the plurality of side pressure rollers 21, the plurality of inner pressure rollers 22, the plurality of guide rollers 23, the ultrasonic cleaning mechanism 24, and at least one of the air nozzles 25 may also be mounted on different carriers.

[0038] More specifically, such as Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, multiple side pressure rollers 21 are arranged corresponding to multiple side rollers 12 (e.g., two rows of side pressure rollers 21 face two rows of side rollers 12 respectively), so that multiple side pressure rollers 21 and multiple side rollers 12 can be used to jointly clamp the annular invalid segment 201 of the plate 200, thereby effectively preventing the plate 200 from jumping and leveling any warping that may exist in the plate 200.

[0039] It should be noted that the multiple side pressure rollers 21 in this embodiment adopt a generally similar structure. Therefore, for ease of understanding, the following description will only use the structure of one of the side pressure rollers 21 as an example, but the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments of the present invention not shown, the structures of the multiple side pressure rollers 21 may also be slightly different; or, the side pressure rollers 21 may adopt a structure different from that described below.

[0040] In this embodiment Figure 5 and Figure 7The side pressure roller 21 includes a buffer member 211 mounted on the bracket 26 and a side wheel 212 pivotally connected to the buffer member 211. The side wheel 212 is preloaded by the buffer member 211 and can move elastically along a height direction D2 perpendicular to the conveying direction D1. In other words, the side wheel 212, through the buffer member 211, can clamp the corresponding side roller 12 with the preload in the annular ineffective section 201 of the plate 200, thereby enabling it to clamp plates 200 of different thicknesses and buffer any possible vibrations of the plate 200.

[0041] More specifically, in this embodiment, the buffer 211 includes a housing 2111 fixed to the bracket 26, and a slider 2112 and a spring 2113 disposed within the housing 2111. The side wheel 212 is pivotally connected to the slider 2112, and the two ends of the spring 2113 press against the slider 2112 and the inner top wall of the housing 2111, respectively, and the spring 2113 tends to drive the slider 2112 toward the inner bottom wall of the housing 2111.

[0042] The plurality of inner pressure rollers 22 are arranged corresponding to the plurality of inner rollers 13 (e.g., the column of inner pressure rollers 22 faces the column of inner rollers 13) so that the plurality of inner pressure rollers 22 and the plurality of inner rollers 13 can be used to jointly clamp the longitudinal ineffective segment 202 of the plate 200, thereby further reducing the possible jump of the plate 200 and improving the effect of leveling the possible warping of the plate 200.

[0043] Furthermore, the plurality of inner pressure rollers 22 in this embodiment adopt a substantially similar structure and are substantially similar to the structure of the side pressure roller 21, so they will not be described in detail here. However, in other embodiments of this utility model not shown, the structure of the plurality of inner pressure rollers 22 may be slightly different; or, the inner pressure rollers 22 may adopt a structure different from that of the side pressure roller 21.

[0044] The plurality of guide wheels 23 are arranged in two rows, and the two rows of guide wheels 23 are respectively arranged adjacent to the two rows of side pressure wheels 21. The plurality of guide wheels 23 are positioned slightly lower than the plurality of side pressure wheels 21, and the two rows of guide wheels 23 are respectively used to abut against the two side edges of the annular ineffective segment 201 of the plate 200, so that the plate 200 can be maintained in a preset position during the conveying process by abutting against the plurality of guide wheels 23.

[0045] It should be noted that although the plurality of guide wheels 23 are described in this embodiment as being configured on the cleaning device 2 and mounted on the bracket 26, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, in other embodiments not shown in the present invention, the plurality of guide wheels 23 may also be mounted on the frame 111 of the conveying device 1 according to design requirements.

[0046] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the components in the sheet material conveying equipment 100 that come into contact with the sheet material 200 (such as multiple side rollers 12, multiple inner rollers 13, multiple side pressure rollers 21, multiple inner pressure rollers 22, and multiple guide rollers 23) are made of conductive (or antistatic) material, so as to effectively prevent the sheet material 200 from becoming a defective product due to electrostatic breakdown, but this utility model is not limited thereto.

[0047] like Figure 4 , Figure 7 ,and Figure 8 As shown, the ultrasonic cleaning mechanism 24 includes a blowing section 241 facing the conveying device 1 and a suction section 242 adjacent to the blowing section 241. In this embodiment, both the blowing section 241 and the suction section 242 are elongated and perpendicular to the conveying direction D1, and the projection area formed by the orthographic projection of the blowing section 241 toward the plate 200 has a length of at least 70% of the width of the plate 200, but this invention is not limited thereto.

[0048] Furthermore, when the conveying device 1 conveys the plate 200, the blowing part 241 can blow a cleaning airflow F1 toward the plate 200, and the suction part 242 can suck in the cleaning airflow F1 flowing through the plate 200, so that particles (such as dust or foreign objects) falling on the plate 200 can be carried away by the cleaning airflow F1 and sucked into the ultrasonic cleaning mechanism 24.

[0049] Furthermore, when the conveying device 1 conveys the board 200, the cleaning airflow F1 blown out by the blowing section 241 can cause the board 200 to generate ultrasonic vibration, which facilitates the detachment of particles from the board 200 and their removal by the cleaning airflow F1. The board conveying equipment 100, through the cooperation of multiple side rollers 12 and multiple side pressure rollers 21, and the cooperation of multiple inner rollers 13 and multiple inner pressure rollers 22, reduces the vibration of the board 200 that may occur due to the ultrasonic vibration, thereby ensuring stable conveying of the board 200 and simultaneously achieving the effect of board surface cleaning.

[0050] Furthermore, since the cleaning airflow F1 may have a weak cleaning effect on the outer part of the board 200, at least one of the air nozzles 25 can be used to supplement the deficiency of the cleaning airflow F1. In this embodiment, at least one air nozzle 25 is described, but the present invention is not limited to the above. Further, when the conveying device 1 conveys the board 200, at least one air nozzle 25 can blow an auxiliary cleaning airflow F2 toward the board 200, and the suction unit 242 can draw in the auxiliary cleaning airflow F2 flowing through the board 200.

[0051] It should be further noted that, in this embodiment, the ultrasonic cleaning mechanism 24 and at least one of the air nozzles 25 continuously blow air to remove dust during the process of the plate 200 being transported by the conveying device 1, so as to achieve the effect of shortening the production time and improving the overall efficiency.

[0052] [Technical Effects of the Embodiments of this Utility Model]

[0053] In summary, the sheet material conveying equipment disclosed in this utility model embodiment can reduce the possible jumping of the sheet material through the cooperation of multiple side rollers and multiple side pressure rollers (and the cooperation of multiple inner rollers and multiple inner pressure rollers), thereby enabling the sheet material to be conveyed stably and simultaneously achieving the effect of cleaning the sheet surface.

[0054] Furthermore, the sheet metal conveying equipment disclosed in this utility model eliminates the technical bias that makes them unsuitable for coexistence through the structural matching between the conveying device and the cleaning device.
