TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of intelligent storage, in particular to an SMT flat push material box. BACKGROUND
[0002] The SMT intelligent storage device is a complete system, which needs various subsystems to be compatible to realize the requirements of intelligent management, including: tray transportation, material taking, transfer and material placing and a series of subsystems. The existing automatic stereoscopic warehouse adopts a mode of directional rotation grabbing to store the material unit of the storage tray. Since the gap between the adjacent two storage material units is very small, the space left for the grabbing mechanism is limited, which is not conducive to fixed-point grabbing. At the same time, when the storage material unit stores the tray, the reset operation of the storage material unit has a great impact on the bottom plate for placing the storage material unit, which easily affects the service life of the bottom plate; when the storage material unit does not store the tray, the storage material unit is easy to collide with the adjacent storage material unit in the reset process, which causes the storage material unit to fail to reset normally, and the reset time is uncontrollable. SUMMARY
[0003] In order to solve the above problems, the present application provides an SMT flat push material box, which comprises a tray, a plurality of storage material units are arranged side by side on the tray, and the storage material unit is a box-shaped structure with an open top; a T-shaped table is protruded at the bottom of the storage material unit, and a T-shaped groove is arranged on the tray and embedded with the T-shaped table, and the storage material unit slides forward and backward in the T-shaped groove through the T-shaped table.
[0004] Further, a through sliding track is opened at the bottom of the T-shaped groove, and a positioning pin is installed at the bottom of the storage material unit; when the storage material unit slides forward and backward in the T-shaped groove through the T-shaped table, the positioning pin at the bottom of the storage material unit slides forward and backward in the through sliding track.
[0005] Further, a semicircular notch is arranged at the upper end of the left side wall and the upper end of the right side wall of the storage material unit, respectively.
[0006] Further, a rectangular boss is arranged at the middle of the left side wall and the middle of the right side wall of the storage material unit, respectively.
[0007] Further, the storage material unit is formed by injection molding with special anti-static material.
[0008] Further, the tray is formed by injection molding with special anti-static material.
[0009] Further, a baffle is arranged on the side wall of the tray.
[0010] Further, a thin rib is arranged in the tray to enhance the rigidity of the tray.
[0011] The beneficial effects of the present application are as follows:
[0012] This invention features a protruding T-shaped platform structure at the bottom of the storage unit, and a T-shaped groove adapted to the T-shaped platform is provided on the tray. Under the action of the transplanter's pushing mechanism, the storage unit moves back and forth on the tray, achieving constant speed and timing for the storage unit and smooth, impact-free movement with the tray. It also provides a sufficiently large storage and retrieval space for the clamps to store and retrieve circular disc materials.
[0013] The material storage unit of this invention does not impact the pallet, thus extending the pallet's lifespan and reducing the frequency of pallet replacement, thereby controlling pallet costs. The fixed-speed and timed operation of the material storage unit allows for controllable material storage and retrieval times, enabling lean production and facilitating lean management.

[0019] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0020] This invention provides an SMT flat-push component box, such as Figures 1-4 As shown, it includes a tray 1, on which multiple storage units 2 are arranged side by side. Each storage unit 2 is a box-shaped structure with an open top. A T-shaped platform 21 protrudes from the bottom of the storage unit 2. The tray is provided with a T-shaped groove 11 that fits into the T-shaped platform. The storage unit slides back and forth in the T-shaped groove 11 through the T-shaped platform 21.
[0021] Specifically, such as Figures 2-4As shown, the bottom of the T-shaped groove 11 is provided with a through sliding track, and the bottom of the material storage unit 2 is provided with a positioning pin 22; when the material storage unit slides forward and backward in the T-shaped groove through the T-shaped table, the positioning pin at the bottom of the material storage unit slides forward and backward in the through sliding track.
[0022] Specifically, the upper end of the left side wall and the upper end of the right side wall of the material storage unit are respectively provided with semicircular notches, so that the clamp can easily grab the circular material tray for storage and retrieval.
[0023] Specifically, the middle part of the left side wall and the middle part of the right side wall of the material storage unit 2 are respectively provided with rectangular bosses 23, which are used to reduce the friction between the relative movement of the material storage units.
[0024] Specifically, the tray is provided with a thin rib. The thin rib is formed together with the tray by injection molding and is arranged inside the tray. The main purpose is to strengthen the rigidity of the back of the tray and it will not deform or break during the handling process.
[0025] Specifically, the material storage unit and the tray are both formed by injection molding with special anti-static materials.
[0026] Specifically, as shown in the figure, the tray 1 is provided with a baffle 12 on one side near the rear end of the T-shaped groove, which is used to limit the material storage unit.
[0027] In the embodiment of the present application, 23 material storage units can be placed side by side on one tray, i.e. 23 T-shaped grooves are arranged on the tray.
[0028] When taking materials, the pushing mechanism servo push rod I of the transfer machine pushes the material storage unit to move from the rear to the front. When the material storage unit is pushed to the program setting position, the pushing mechanism servo push rod I stops working, the clamp enters the specified position to grab the circular tray stored in the material storage unit. When the clamp completes the grabbing action, the pushing mechanism servo push rod II pushes the empty material storage unit to move from the front to the rear. When the material storage unit is pushed to the program setting position, the pushing mechanism servo push rod II stops working, and the whole material taking action is completed, and the cycle is repeated.
[0029] When storing materials, the pushing mechanism servo push rod I of the transfer machine pushes the material storage unit to move from the rear to the front. When the material storage unit is pushed to the program setting position, the pushing mechanism servo push rod I stops working, the clamp enters the specified position to put the circular tray into the empty material storage unit. When the clamp completes the storing action, the pushing mechanism servo push rod II pushes the material storage unit to move from the front to the rear. When the material storage unit is pushed to the program setting position, the pushing mechanism servo push rod II stops working, and the whole material storing action is completed, and the cycle is repeated.
[0030] Specifically, as shown in the figure, Figure 4As shown, the storage unit has two positioning pins at the bottom, and when the storage unit slides forward and backward in the T-shaped groove through the T-shaped table, the positioning pins at the bottom of the storage unit slide forward and backward in the through sliding track, so that the storage unit will not leave the tray during the sliding process.
