[0021] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present invention.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a flexible printed circuit board tray, including: a tray frame 1, a frame body 2 fixedly disposed on the inner side of the tray frame 1, a support component disposed on the frame body 2, a first lateral limiting component 12 and a second lateral limiting component 13 disposed sequentially on the tray frame 1, a first longitudinal limiting component 14 and a second longitudinal limiting component 15 disposed on the left and right sides of the tray frame 1, and a guide groove 11 is provided on the tray frame 1 and located on the inner side of the second lateral limiting component 13;

[0023] In use, the tray frame 1 supports the flexible printed circuit board (PCB) and moves it along with the tray frame 1, ensuring a consistent flow direction. A frame body 2, fixedly mounted on the inner side of the tray frame 1, is connected to it as a whole and moves with the tray frame 1. Support components on the frame body 2 support the PCB. A first lateral limiting component 12 and a second lateral limiting component 13, sequentially mounted on the tray frame 1, confirm and control the lateral direction of the device. A stable placement direction improves the carrying efficiency of the PCB. The first longitudinal limiting component 14 and the second longitudinal limiting component 15 set on the left and right sides of the tray frame 1 are used to confirm and control the longitudinal direction of the device. A stable placement direction can improve the carrying efficiency of flexible printed circuit boards. By confirming the two directions, the device can be moved accurately after loading flexible printed circuit boards, ensuring the stability of the flexible printed circuit board carrying. The guide groove 11 opened on the tray frame 1 and located inside the second transverse limiting component 13 is used to guide the device, so that the staff can intuitively and quickly observe the accuracy of the placement direction of the device, thereby ensuring the circulation efficiency of flexible printed circuit boards.

[0024] Please see Figure 1 The supporting components include a supporting groove 3 opened on the frame body 2, and multiple guide posts 4 are fixedly installed on the frame body 2 and located at the edge of the supporting groove 3.

[0025] When this device is in use, the support components, including the support groove 3 on the frame body 2, are used to place the flexible printed circuit board. The support groove 3 is designed according to the shape of the flexible printed circuit board so that the flexible printed circuit board can have a high degree of fit with the support groove 3 after loading, thereby preventing the flexible printed circuit board from shifting during transportation, so as to facilitate its subsequent processing. Multiple guide posts 4 are fixedly set on the frame body 2 and located at the edge of the support groove 3 to position the flexible printed circuit board and improve the placement speed of the flexible printed circuit board.

[0026] Please see Figure 2 The guide post 4 includes various sizes with different heights;

[0027] When this device is used, the guide post 4 has a variety of different heights, so that the inner side of the support groove 3 can simultaneously load multiple flexible printed circuit boards, improving the carrying efficiency of the flexible printed circuit boards. The height of the guide post 4 is customized according to the height of the flexible printed circuit board. In this device, the height of the guide post 4 is usually 2 cm.

[0028] Please see Figure 2 The support groove 3 is Z-shaped;

[0029] When this device is used, the Z-shaped support groove 3 allows the flexible printed circuit board to maintain a high degree of fit with the support groove 3 after placement.

[0030] Please see Figure 2 Guide holes 1 5 and guide holes 2 6 are sequentially opened on the main frame 2 and at both ends of the support groove 3.

[0031] When this device is in use, the guide holes 5 and 6, which are sequentially opened on the frame body 2 at both ends of the support groove 3, are used to extend the lower end of the flexible printed circuit board. This allows the flexible printed circuit board to be embedded inside the support groove 3, reducing the possibility of the flexible printed circuit board detaching during the movement of the support groove 3.

[0032] Please see Figure 1 The first lateral limiting component 12 includes a lateral limiting seat 7 symmetrically arranged on the pallet frame 1 with the X-axis as the reference.

[0033] When using this device, the transverse limiting seat 7, which is symmetrically arranged on the tray frame 1 with the X-axis as the reference, is used to conveniently confirm the transverse placement direction of the device, preventing the device from being placed backwards during use.

[0034] Please see Figure 1The second lateral limiting component 13 includes a second lateral limiting seat 10 symmetrically arranged on the pallet frame 1 with the X-axis as the reference.

[0035] When this device is in use, the second lateral limiting component 13, including the second lateral limiting seat 10 symmetrically arranged on the tray frame 1 with the X-axis as the reference, is used to conveniently confirm the longitudinal direction of this device and prevent the device from being placed backwards during use.

[0036] Please see Figure 1 The first longitudinal limiting component 14 includes a longitudinal limiting seat 8 symmetrically arranged on the pallet frame 1 with the Y-axis as the reference.

[0037] When this device is in use, the longitudinal limiting seat 8, which is symmetrically arranged on the tray frame 1 with the Y-axis as the reference, works together with the transverse limiting seat 7 to facilitate the confirmation of the transverse placement direction of this device and prevent the device from being placed backwards during use.

[0038] Please see Figure 4 The second longitudinal limiting component 15 includes a longitudinal limiting seat 2 9 symmetrically arranged on the pallet frame 1 with the Y-axis as the reference.

[0039] When using this device, the longitudinal limiting seat 2 9, which is symmetrically arranged on the tray frame 1 with the Y-axis as the reference, is used to conveniently confirm the longitudinal direction of the device and prevent the device from being placed in reverse during use.

[0040] Please see Figure 4 The distance between the two lateral limiting seats 17 is less than the distance between the two lateral limiting seats 20, and the distance between the two longitudinal limiting seats 18 is less than the distance between the two longitudinal limiting seats 29.

[0041] When this device is in use, since the spacing between the two lateral limit seats 10 is smaller than the spacing between the two lateral limit seats 10, and the spacing between the two longitudinal limit seats 8 is smaller than the spacing between the two longitudinal limit seats 9, the staff can intuitively observe whether the device is in an upward or downward state, which is beneficial to improving the carrying efficiency of flexible printed circuit boards.

[0042] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
