These drawings and descriptions are not intended to limit the scope of the concept in any way, but rather to illustrate the concept of this application to those skilled in the art through reference to particular embodiments. Detailed Implementation

[0052] Exemplary embodiments will now be described in detail, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings denote the same or similar elements. The embodiments described in the following exemplary embodiments do not represent all embodiments consistent with this application. Rather, they are merely examples of apparatuses and methods consistent with some aspects of this application as detailed in the appended claims.

[0053] In related technologies, mass-produced circuit boards need to be stored in storage bins to facilitate subsequent bulk transportation.

[0054] However, the current operation of transferring circuit boards to the storage bin is done manually. This manual transfer method wastes manpower.

[0055] The technical solution of this application and how the technical solution of this application solves the above-mentioned technical problems are described in detail below with specific embodiments. These specific embodiments can be combined with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described again in some embodiments. The embodiments of this application will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0056] Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 This application provides an automatic feeding device, comprising:

[0057] Storage bin 100, storage bin 100 has storage space 110 inside, storage space 110 is used for batch storage of circuit boards;

[0058] The lifting mechanism 200 and the storage box 100 are mounted on the lifting mechanism 200. The lifting mechanism 200 is used to drive the storage box 100 to lift.

[0059] The conveying mechanism 300 is used to receive the completed circuit boards and transport them to the position of the lifting mechanism 200.

[0060] The pushing mechanism 400 is mounted on the conveying mechanism 300 and is used to push the circuit board on the conveying mechanism 300 into the storage space 110.

[0061] In this application, when the circuit boards need to be stored in batches after production, the storage box 100 is placed on the lifting mechanism 200, and the conveying mechanism 300 can receive the produced circuit boards and convey them to the position of the lifting mechanism 200. At this time, the pushing mechanism 400 can push the circuit boards on the conveying mechanism 300 into the storage space 110, so that the produced circuit boards can enter the storage box 100 for storage. After the storage space is filled with the first circuit board, the lifting mechanism 200 drives the storage box 100 to rise and fall, so that the pushing mechanism 400 can push the circuit boards on the conveying mechanism 300 to the top of the circuit boards in the storage space 110. By repeating the above steps, the storage space 110 can store circuit boards in batches. By using the lifting mechanism 200, the pushing mechanism 400 can indirectly push the circuit boards to different positions in the storage space 110 for storage, without the need for manual transfer of the circuit boards, thus saving manpower for manual transfer.

[0062] Combination Figures 2 to 7The conveying mechanism 300 includes a base plate 310, a fixing plate 320 and a conveying assembly 330. The base plate 310 is provided with fixing plates 320 on both sides, and the conveying assembly 330 is provided on both fixing plates 320. The conveying assembly 330 is used to carry and convey the circuit board.

[0063] In this embodiment, the base plate 310 is rectangular, and the fixing plate 320 is arranged along the length of the base plate 310. There are two fixing plates 320, which are respectively arranged on opposite sides of the base plate 310 and are perpendicular to the base plate 310. The conveying assembly 330 includes a conveying wheel 331, a conveyor belt 332, and a conveying motor. The conveying wheel 331 is arranged on the fixing plate 320 at both ends. The conveyor belt 332 is wound around the two conveying wheels 331. The conveying motor is arranged on the fixing plate 320 and is used to drive one of the conveying wheels 331 to rotate.

[0064] In this application, a conveyor motor drives one of the conveyor wheels 331 to rotate, which in turn drives the conveyor belt 332. The conveyor belt 332 on the two fixed plates 320 can receive the circuit board. When the conveyor belt 332 is in motion, it can move the circuit board toward the lifting mechanism 200, thereby realizing the conveying of the circuit board. By using the conveyor wheel 331, the conveyor belt 332 and the conveyor motor, the circuit board can be continuously conveyed while the conveyor belt 332 is rotating, thereby improving the conveying efficiency of the circuit board.

[0065] In other embodiments, the conveying component 330 can also be replaced by a chain conveyor. By replacing the conveyor belt 332 with a chain, the same conveying of the circuit board can be achieved. Alternatively, the conveying component 330 can be replaced by a robotic arm. The robotic arm, in conjunction with a suction cup, can grip the circuit board, thus achieving the same conveying of the circuit board.

[0066] Combination Figures 2 to 7 The automatic feeding device also includes a first adjustment mechanism 500, which is disposed on the base plate 310. The fixed plate 320 is slidably disposed on the base plate 310. The first adjustment mechanism 500 is used to drive the fixed plate 320 to move so as to adjust the distance between the two fixed plates 320.

[0067] In this embodiment, one fixing plate 320 is slidably disposed on the base plate 310, and the other fixing plate 320 is fixedly disposed on the base plate 310. A guide rod is provided on the base plate 310, and the fixing plate 320 is slidably connected to the guide rod, so that the fixing plate 320 can be slidably disposed on the base plate 310 via the guide rod. Alternatively, a slide rail or slide groove can be provided on the base plate 310, and a slider slidably connected to the slide rail or slide groove can be provided on the fixing plate 320, so that the fixing plate 320 can also be slidably disposed on the base plate 310 via the slide rail or slide groove.

[0068] Combination Figures 2 to 7 The first adjusting mechanism 500 includes a first screw 510 and a first driving member 520. The first screw 510 is rotatably mounted on the base plate 310, and a fixing plate 320 is threadedly connected to the first screw 510. The first driving member 520 is mounted on the first screw 510 and is used to drive the first screw 510 to rotate.

[0069] In this embodiment, one of the fixing plates 320 can be threadedly connected to the first screw 510 via a threaded sleeve, and the first screw 510 passes through and is rotatably connected to the other fixing plate 320; the first driving member 520 is a handle, and the handle is fixedly disposed at one end of the first screw 510.

[0070] In this application, rotating the handle drives the first screw 510 to rotate. Because the first screw 510 is inserted into and rotatably connected to one of the fixing plates 320, the corresponding fixing plate 320 will not rotate with the rotation of the first screw 510. Because the other fixing plate 320 is threadedly connected to the first screw 510 and is slidably mounted on the base plate 310, the fixing plate 320 will not rotate with the rotation of the first screw 510. This allows the corresponding fixing plate 320 to move on the first screw 510, thereby adjusting the distance between the two fixing plates 320. The two fixing plates 320 can drive the conveyor belt 332 to move, so that the conveyor belt 332 on the two fixing plates 320 can carry and transport circuit boards of different widths, indirectly improving the applicability of the conveying mechanism 300.

[0071] In other embodiments, the first driving member 520 can be replaced by a motor fixedly mounted on the base plate 310. The first screw 510 is connected to the driving end of the motor, so that the motor can also drive the first screw 510 to rotate, thereby adjusting the distance between the two fixed plates 320. The first screw 510 can be replaced by a bidirectional lead screw. By sliding both fixed plates 320 on the base plate 310 and threading the two fixed plates 320 to the two threaded portions of the bidirectional lead screw, the distance between the two fixed plates 320 can also be adjusted when the bidirectional lead screw rotates. Alternatively, the first adjusting mechanism 500 can be replaced by an electric cylinder. By mounting the electric cylinder on the base plate 310, the electric cylinder drives the corresponding fixed plate 320 to move, thereby also achieving the distance adjustment between the two fixed plates 320.

[0072] Combination Figures 2 to 7The feeding mechanism 400 includes a moving component 410, a driving component 420, and a push rod 430. The moving component 410 is mounted on the base plate 310, the driving component 420 is mounted on the moving component 410, and the push rod 430 is mounted on the driving component 420. The driving component 420 drives one end of the push rod 430 relative to the edge of the circuit board, and the moving component 410 drives the driving component 420 to move so that the push rod 430 abuts against the circuit board and pushes the circuit board into the storage space 110.

[0073] In this embodiment, the drive assembly 420 is used to drive the push rod 430 to rotate so that one end of the push rod 430 is relative to the edge of the circuit board; in other embodiments, the drive assembly 420 may also drive the entire push rod 430 to rise and fall so that the push rod 430 is relative to the edge of the circuit board.

[0074] In this application, when the conveyor belt 332 transports the circuit board to the position of the lifting mechanism 200, the drive assembly 420 drives one end of the push rod 430 relative to the edge of the circuit board, and the moving assembly 410 drives the drive assembly 420 to move, so that the drive assembly 420 drives the push rod 430 to move, thereby making the push rod 430 abut against the edge of the circuit board and pushing the circuit board into the storage space 110, thereby transferring the circuit board into the storage space 110 for storage.

[0075] Combination Figures 2 to 7 The moving component 410 includes a plate 411, a driving block 412, and a moving part 413. The plate 411 is disposed on the base plate 310, the driving block 412 is slidably disposed on the plate 411, the driving component 420 is disposed on the driving block 412, and the moving part 413 is used to drive the driving block 412 to move.

[0076] In this embodiment, a guide rod can be provided on the plate 411, and the driving block 412 can be slidably connected to the guide rod, so that the driving block 412 can be slidably set on the plate 411 through the guide rod. Alternatively, a slide rail or slide groove can be provided on the plate 411, and a slider slidably connected to the slide rail or slide groove can be provided on the driving block 412, so that the driving block 412 can also be slidably set on the plate 411 through the slide rail or slide groove.

[0077] In this application, when it is necessary to drive the push rod 430 to move the circuit board, the moving part 413 drives the driving block 412 to move. Since the driving component 420 is set on the driving block 412, the driving block 412 can drive the driving component 420 to move, thereby the driving block 412 drives the push rod 430 to move, so that the push rod 430 pushes the circuit board into the storage space 110.

[0078] In other embodiments, the moving component 410 can also be replaced by an electric cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or a pneumatic cylinder. By setting the electric cylinder on the plate 411 and connecting the drive block 412 to the drive end of the electric cylinder, the electric cylinder can drive the drive block 412 to move, and the drive block 412 can also drive the push rod 430 to move. The connection method between the hydraulic cylinder and the pneumatic cylinder and the electric cylinder is the same.

[0079] Combination Figures 2 to 7 The moving part 413 includes a timing pulley 414, a timing belt 415 and a drive unit. The timing pulley 414 is provided at both ends of the plate 411. The timing belt 415 is wound around the two timing pulleys 414. The drive block 412 is provided on the timing belt 415. The drive unit is used to drive the timing pulley 414 to rotate so that the timing belt 415 drives the drive block 412 to move.

[0080] In this embodiment, the driving unit is a motor, which is located at the bottom of the plate 411, and one of the synchronous pulleys 414 is connected to the driving end of the motor.

[0081] In this application, when it is necessary to drive the push rod 430 to move the circuit board, one of the synchronous pulleys 414 is driven to rotate by the motor, so that the two synchronous pulleys 414 drive the synchronous belt 415 to drive the transmission. Since the drive block 412 is connected to the synchronous belt 415, the synchronous belt 415 drives the drive block 412 to move. By driving the synchronous pulleys 414 to rotate forward and backward by the motor, the forward and backward movement of the drive block 412 can be realized.

[0082] Combination Figures 2 to 7 The automatic feeding device also includes a tensioning mechanism 600, in which a synchronous wheel 414 is slidably disposed on the plate 411 and the tensioning mechanism 600 is disposed on the plate 411. The tensioning mechanism 600 is used to drive the synchronous wheel 414 slidably disposed on the plate 411 away from the other synchronous wheel 414 so as to tighten the synchronous belt 415.

[0083] In this embodiment, the tensioning mechanism 600 includes a tensioning block 610, a tensioning plate 620, and a tensioning bolt 630. A strip-shaped hole is provided on the plate body 411, and a synchronous pulley 414 passes through the strip-shaped hole and is rotatably mounted on the tensioning block 610. The tensioning plate 620 is fixedly mounted on the plate body 411, and the tensioning bolt 630 passes through and is threadedly connected to the tensioning plate 620. One end of the tensioning bolt 630 is rotatably mounted on the tensioning block 610.

[0084] In this application, when it is necessary to tension the timing belt 415, the tension bolt 630 is turned to move on the tension plate 620. The tension bolt 630 can drive the tension block 610 to move, which in turn drives the corresponding timing pulley 414 to move. This causes the timing pulley 414 to tension the timing belt 415, thereby adjusting the tension of the timing belt 415. By adjusting the tension of the timing belt 415, the inability to transmit power due to insufficient tension is prevented, indirectly improving the effect of the timing belt 415 in driving the drive block 412.

[0085] In other embodiments, the tensioning bolt 630 can also be replaced by an electric cylinder. By setting the electric cylinder on the tensioning plate 620 and connecting the drive block 412 to the drive end of the electric cylinder, the electric cylinder can also achieve tensioning of the synchronous belt 415 when it drives the drive block 412 to move. The tensioning bolt 630 can also be replaced by a spring. By connecting one end of the spring to the drive block 412 and the other end to the tensioning plate 620, the spring can continuously drive the synchronous belt 415 to stretch when it is in a stretched state.

[0086] Combination Figures 2 to 7 A fixed block 416 is detachably connected to the drive block 412, and a timing belt 415 is disposed between the drive block 412 and the fixed block 416.

[0087] In this embodiment, the fixing block 416 is detachably connected to the driving block 412 by bolts; in other embodiments, the fixing block 416 and the driving block 412 can also be snapped together by a snap-fit.

[0088] In this application, by detachably connecting the fixed block 416 to the drive block 412 and placing the timing belt 415 between the drive block 412 and the fixed block 416, it is convenient to install and remove the drive block 412 and the timing belt 415, and to facilitate the maintenance and replacement of the drive block 412 and the timing belt 415.

[0089] The fixed block 416 has multiple fixed teeth 417 on its surface facing the drive block 412. The fixed teeth 417 are used to abut against the timing belt 415.

[0090] In this application, by using multiple fixed teeth 417, the friction between the fixed block 416 and the timing belt 415 is increased, thereby improving the fixing strength of the timing belt 415 between the drive block 412 and the fixed block 416, and preventing the timing belt 415 from separating from the drive block 412 when it drives the push rod 430 to move.

[0091] Combination Figures 2 to 7 The drive assembly 420 includes a cylinder, which is mounted on the drive block 412. A push rod 430 is rotatably mounted on the drive block 412, and the drive end of the cylinder is connected to one end of the push rod 430.

[0092] In this embodiment, the driving end of the cylinder abuts against one end of the push rod 430. In other embodiments, the driving assembly 420 can also be an electric cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, or a cam and a motor. When a cam and a motor are used, the cam can be rotatably mounted on the driving block 412, the motor can be fixedly mounted on the driving block 412, and the cam can be connected to the driving end of the motor. When the motor drives the cam to rotate, the protrusion of the cam can reciprocate and abut against the push rod 430, causing one end of the push rod 430 to tilt up relative to the edge of the circuit board.

[0093] In this application, by adopting a cylinder, the structure is simple and easy to maintain, and the stroke of the cylinder is adjustable, so that after the cylinder is driven, one end of the push rod 430 can be fixed at a position relative to the edge of the circuit board.

[0094] Combination Figures 2 to 7 A reset member 431 is provided between the push rod 430 and the drive block 412. The reset member 431 is used to drive the push rod 430 to reset when the drive end of the cylinder retracts.

[0095] The reset component 431 includes a spring, one end of which is connected to the push rod 430, and the other end of which is connected to the drive block 412.

[0096] In this embodiment, a guide rod 432 is provided on the drive block 412 and is slidably connected to the push rod 430. A spring is sleeved on the guide rod 432, with one end of the spring connected to the push rod 430 and the other end connected to the drive block 412. The cylinder and the spring are respectively provided on both sides of the hinge point between the push rod 430 and the drive block 412.

[0097] In this application, when the drive end of the cylinder retracts and the spring is in its natural state, the push rod 430 is driven by the spring force to move one end of the push rod 430 relative to the edge of the circuit board. When the push rod 430 pushes the circuit board into the storage space 110, the drive end of the drive cylinder extends, and the cylinder can drive the push rod 430 to rotate, so that the push rod 430 squeezes the spring. The spring is squeezed to a compressed state, and the push rod 430 rotates to a horizontal state. At this time, the push rod 430 is flush with the synchronous belts 415 on both sides, preventing the push rod 430 from affecting the synchronous belt 415's conveying of the circuit board. When the circuit board is conveyed past the push rod 430 by the synchronous belt 415, the drive end of the cylinder retracts, and the push rod 430 tilts up again to push the next circuit board.

[0098] In other embodiments, the reset member 431 can also be replaced by a rubber block disposed between the push rod 430 and the drive block 412. The reset of the push rod 430 can also be achieved by using a rubber block.

[0099] Combination Figures 2 to 7The automatic feeding device also includes a second adjustment mechanism 700, which is disposed on the base plate 310. The plate 411 is slidably disposed on the base plate 310. The second adjustment mechanism 700 is used to drive the plate 411 to move so as to adjust the distance between the plate 411 and the fixed plate 320.

[0100] In this embodiment, a guide rod can be provided on the base plate 310, and the plate 411 can be slidably connected to the guide rod, so that the plate 411 can be slidably set on the base plate 310 via the guide rod. Alternatively, a slide rail or slide groove can be provided on the base plate 310, and a slider slidably connected to the slide rail or slide groove can be provided on the plate 411, so that the plate 411 can also be slidably set on the base plate 310 via the slide rail or slide groove.

[0101] Combination Figures 2 to 7 The second adjustment mechanism 700 includes a second screw 710 and a second drive member 720. The second screw 710 is rotatably mounted on the base plate 310, and the plate body 411 is threadedly connected to the second screw 710. The second drive member 720 is mounted on the second screw 710 and is used to drive the second screw 710 to rotate.

[0102] In this embodiment, the plate 411 can be threadedly connected to the second screw 710 via a threaded sleeve, and the second driving component 720 is a handle, which is fixedly disposed at one end of the second screw 710.

[0103] In this application, when it is necessary to adjust the distance between the plate 411 and the fixing plate 320, the second screw 710 is rotated by the handle. Since the plate 411 is slidably mounted on the base plate 310 and the plate 411 is threadedly connected to the second screw 710, the plate 411 will not rotate with the rotation of the second screw 710. This allows the plate 411 to move on the second screw 710, which in turn moves the push rod 430. This adjusts the relative position between the push rod 430 and circuit boards of different specifications, allowing the push rod 430 to abut against different positions of circuit boards of different specifications. This enables the push rod 430 to push circuit boards of different specifications, improving the applicability of the push rod 430.

[0104] In other embodiments, the second adjustment mechanism 700 can be replaced by an electric cylinder. By setting the electric cylinder on the base plate 310 and connecting the plate 411 to the drive end of the electric cylinder, the electric cylinder drives the plate 411 to move on the base plate 310, thereby also achieving the adjustment of the relative position between the plate 411 and the fixed plate 320.

[0105] Combination Figures 2 to 7The automatic feeding device also includes a drive mechanism 800, a base plate 310 is mounted on the drive mechanism 800, and at least two storage spaces 110 are arranged in the horizontal direction. The drive mechanism 800 is used to drive the base plate 310 to move so that the base plate 310 drives the circuit board to be opposite to any one of the storage spaces 110 in the horizontal direction.

[0106] In this embodiment, the storage bin 100 has two storage spaces 110; the drive mechanism 800 includes a base frame 810 and a transverse module 820. The base plate 310 is slidably mounted on the base frame 810 via a slide rail. The transverse module 820 is mounted on the base frame 810 and is used to drive the base plate 310 to move. The moving direction of the base plate 310 is set along the length direction of the first screw 510 and the second screw 710.

[0107] In this application, by adopting the drive mechanism 800, after the push rod 430 fills one of the storage spaces 110 of the storage box 100, the base plate 310 is driven to move by the transverse module 820, so that the base plate 310 drives the push rod 430 to face the other storage space 110, thereby enabling the push rod 430 to fill the other storage space 110 with circuit boards. This allows the same storage box 100 to store more circuit boards, and enables the push rod 430 to push materials to different storage spaces 110 in the horizontal direction, thereby indirectly improving the applicability of the push rod 430.

[0108] In other embodiments, the drive mechanism 800 can also be replaced by an electric cylinder. By setting the electric cylinder on the base frame 810 and connecting the base plate 310 to the drive end of the electric cylinder, the electric cylinder can also drive the base plate 310 to move, thereby adjusting the relative position of the push rod 430 and the pushing space.

[0109] Combination Figures 2 to 7 The lifting mechanism 200 includes a frame 210, a connecting frame 220, and a lifting assembly 230. The connecting frame 220 is slidably mounted on the frame 210 and is used to hold the storage box 100. The lifting assembly 230 is used to drive the connecting frame 220 to lift the storage box 100.

[0110] In this embodiment, the lifting assembly 230 includes lifting wheels, a lifting belt 231 and a motor. Lifting wheels are provided at the top and bottom of the frame 210. The lifting belt 231 is wound around the upper and lower lifting wheels. The connecting frame 220 is fixed to the synchronous belt 415. The motor is installed on the frame 210 and is used to drive one of the lifting wheels to rotate.

[0111] In this application, when it is necessary to drive the storage box 100 to rise or fall, one of the lifting wheels is driven to rotate by a motor, so that the two lifting wheels drive the lifting belt 231 to drive the transmission. When the lifting belt 231 is in transmission, it can drive the connecting frame 220 to rise or fall, so that the connecting frame 220 drives the storage box 100 to rise or fall, so that the storage space 110 is at different heights relative to the circuit board.

[0112] In other embodiments, the lifting assembly 230 can be replaced with an electric cylinder. By setting the electric cylinder on the frame 210 and the connecting frame 220 on the drive end of the electric cylinder, the electric cylinder can drive the connecting frame 220 to lift and lower, thereby adjusting the height of the storage box 100.

[0113] Combination Figures 2 to 7 The automatic feeding device also includes a mounting frame 900. Mounting frames 900 are provided on both sides of the connecting frame 220. The mounting frames 900 are used to place the storage box 100.

[0114] In this embodiment, one side mounting bracket 900 is used to place an empty storage bin 100, and the other side mounting bracket 900 is used to place a storage bin 100 filled with material.

[0115] In this application, when the storage bin 100 on the connecting frame 220 is full of circuit boards, the storage bin 100 full of circuit boards can be moved to the mounting frame 900 for temporary storage. By moving the unloaded storage bin 100 on another mounting frame 900 to the connecting frame 220, it is convenient to continuously load multiple storage bins 100, thereby improving the loading efficiency of multiple circuit boards.

[0116] Combination Figures 2 to 7 The automatic feeding device also includes a loading and unloading mechanism 910. The loading and unloading mechanism 910 is provided on both the connecting frame 220 and the mounting frame 900. The loading and unloading mechanism 910 is used to drive the storage box 100 to move between the connecting frame 220 and the mounting frame 900.

[0117] In this embodiment, the loading and unloading mechanism 910 includes a chain conveyor, which is mounted on the connecting frame 220 and the mounting frame 900; the use of a chain conveyor allows it to withstand a large weight.

[0118] In this application, by adopting the loading and unloading mechanism 910, when the storage box 100 on the connecting frame 220 is full of circuit boards, the loading and unloading mechanism 910 can transport the storage box 100 full of circuit boards to one side mounting frame 900, while the storage box 100 on the other side mounting frame 900 that is not filled with materials can be transported to the connecting frame 220 through the loading and unloading mechanism 910. Therefore, there is no need for manual transfer of the storage boxes 100 on the connecting frame 220 and the mounting frame 900, saving manpower.

[0119] In other embodiments, the loading and unloading mechanism 910 may be replaced by a robotic arm.

[0120] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 8 The storage bin 100 includes a base 120, a top plate 130, and partitions 140. At least two partitions 140 are provided, and the partitions 140 are located between the top plate 130 and the base 120. Storage plates 141 are provided on the opposite surfaces of adjacent partitions 140. The top plate 130, the base 120, and the adjacent partitions 140 form a storage space 110.

[0121] In this embodiment, two partitions 140 are provided, and a storage plate 141 is inclinedly disposed on the partition 140. One side of the storage plate 141 is connected to the partition 140, and the other side extends inclinedly toward the position of the top plate 130. In other embodiments, the number of partitions 140 can be adjusted as needed.

[0122] In this application, by adopting the configuration of storage boards 141, multiple storage boards 141 can separate multiple circuit boards, preventing adjacent circuit boards from stacking and affecting the circuits on the circuit boards, thereby indirectly improving the storage effect of the storage box 100 on the circuit boards.

[0123] Combination Figure 2 and Figure 8 The partition 140 is slidably disposed between the base 120 and the top plate 130. A fastener 150 is provided on the partition 140, which is used to fix the partition 140 to any position.

[0124] In this embodiment, a sliding groove can be provided on the opposite surfaces of the top plate 130 and the base 120, and a slider is provided on the partition plate 140 that is slidably connected in the sliding groove, so that the partition plate 140 can be slidably positioned between the top plate 130 and the base 120 through the sliding groove and the slider; a rack 160 is provided on the opposite surfaces of the base 120 and the top plate 130 along the length direction of the sliding groove, and the fixing member 150 is a snap fastener, which can cooperate with the rack 160 to fix the partition plate 140 to any position of the rack 160, thereby preventing the partition plate 140 from moving between the top plate 130 and the base 120 when loading materials.

[0125] In other embodiments, the fastener 150 can also be replaced by a bolt. By providing multiple fixing holes along the length of the rack 160 on the base 120 and the top plate 130, the bolt passes through and is threaded onto the partition 140, and drives the shank of the bolt to be inserted into the fixing hole, so that the partition 140 can also be fixed at any position between the top plate 130 and the base 120.

[0126] In this embodiment, the automatic unloading device also includes multiple sensors. For example, a sensor is set on the connecting frame 220 to detect whether the storage bin 100 is full, so as to facilitate the control of the loading and unloading mechanism 910 to move the full and incomplete storage bins 100. Alternatively, a sensor can be set on the fixed plate 320 to detect whether the circuit board has been pushed into place, thereby controlling the cylinder to drive one end of the push rod 430 to tilt up. By using multiple sensors, the automation level of the automatic unloading device can be improved, thus eliminating the need for manual operation and saving manpower.

[0127] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the automatic unloading device also includes a housing 920. The lifting mechanism 200, the conveying mechanism 300, and the pushing mechanism 400 are all disposed inside the housing 920. The mounting frame 900 is disposed outside the housing 920. The housing 920 has a first opening 921, which is used for the unloading mechanism 910 to pass through when conveying the storage box 100 between the mounting frame 900 and the connecting frame 220. The housing 920 also has a second opening 922, which is used for the completed circuit board to pass through and move onto the conveyor belt 332 of the two side fixing plates 320. The housing 920 can protect the lifting mechanism 200, the conveying mechanism 300, and the pushing mechanism 400.

[0128] The automatic feeding device provided in this application, when it is necessary to load circuit boards, allows the produced circuit boards to move onto the conveyor belt 332 of the two side fixing plates 320 and be conveyed along the conveyor belt 332 to the position of the connecting frame 220. At this time, the drive end of the cylinder retracts, and the push rod 430 is raised by the elastic force of the spring, so that one end of the push rod 430 is relative to the edge of the circuit board. The drive unit drives the synchronous wheel 414 to rotate, so that the synchronous belt 415 drives the drive block 412 to move. The drive block 412 can drive the push rod 430 to move, so that the push rod 430 pushes the circuit board into the first layer of the storage space 110 in the storage box 100. At this time, the drive end of the cylinder extends, so that the push rod 430 rotates to a horizontal state. The next circuit board passes over the push rod 430 via the conveyor belt 332. At the same time, the lifting belt 231 drives the connecting frame 220 to descend, so that the second layer of the storage space 110 is opposite to the circuit board. The synchronous wheel 414 is driven to rotate again by the drive unit, so that the synchronous belt 415 drives the push rod 430 to push the circuit board into the second layer of the storage space 110. By repeating the above steps, the storage space 110 is filled. When the storage space 110 is full, the base plate 310 is driven to move by the transverse module 820, so that the base plate 310 drives the fixing plate 320 and the push rod 430 to be opposite to another storage space 110, so that the other storage space 110 is filled. There is no need for manual transfer of circuit boards, thus saving manpower.
