[0035] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, an embodiment of the present invention provides a conveying device, including a support frame 1, a conveying module 2, a lifting module 3 and a positioning module 4, wherein the conveying module 2 is arranged on the support frame 1;

[0036] The conveying module 2 is adapted to carry the circuit board 5, and the conveying module 2 is capable of conveying the circuit board 5 to the first adjustment area along the first direction;

[0037] The lifting module 3 can drive the circuit board 5 to reciprocate between the first adjustment area and the second adjustment area along the second direction;

[0038] When circuit board 5 moves to the second adjustment area, positioning module 4 can push circuit board 5 to move along a third direction to adjust the position of circuit board 5; wherein, the first direction, the second direction, and the third direction are not coplanar and intersect each other. In this embodiment, the first direction is the attached direction. Figure 1 The X direction (front-back direction) is in the middle, and the second direction is attached. Figure 1 The Z direction (vertical direction) is the first direction, and the second direction is the second direction. Figure 1 In the Y-axis (left-right direction), the first adjustment area is the position of circuit board 5 on conveyor module 2 when it moves to correspond with lifting module 3. The second adjustment area is the position of circuit board 5 when it is lifted by lifting module 3. The second adjustment area is directly above the first adjustment area. Figure 1The circuit board 5 is located in the second adjustment area. The conveying module 2 includes a material transfer drive assembly and multiple rolling elements; each rolling element is spaced along the first direction on the support frame 1 and can rotate relative to the support frame 1 around its own axis; the material transfer drive assembly is used to drive at least a portion of the rolling elements to rotate so as to convey the circuit board 5 along the first direction. The material transfer drive assembly can be a motor-belt drive mechanism. In the traditional manual loading process, the circuit board 5 (PCB) is prone to offset, resulting in a large positional deviation after being conveyed to the target station. This conveying device can accurately control the position of the PCB through the coordinated work of the conveying module 2, the lifting module 3, and the positioning module 4. The conveying module 2 conveys the PCB to the first adjustment area along the first direction (X direction), the lifting module 3 moves the PCB between the first and second adjustment areas along the second direction (Z direction), and the positioning module 4 pushes the PCB in the second adjustment area along the third direction (Y direction) to adjust its position. Through precise control in multiple directions, the positional deviation caused by manual operation is effectively avoided, and the positional accuracy of the PCB conveyed to the target station is greatly improved.

[0039] Please see Figure 2 In one embodiment, the positioning module 4 includes a first driving component 41 and a first positioning element 42. The first driving component 41 is arranged on the support frame 1, and the first positioning element 42 is connected to the first driving component 41. The first driving component 41 drives the first positioning element 42 to reciprocate along a third direction, so that the first positioning element 42 can push the circuit board 5 to move along the third direction. In this embodiment, by driving the first positioning element 42 to reciprocate along the third direction, the first driving component 41 can accurately control the position and moving distance of the first positioning element 42, thereby enabling the first positioning element 42 to accurately push the circuit board 5 to move along the third direction, effectively adjusting the position of the circuit board 5, improving the positioning accuracy of the circuit board 5 at the target workstation, and ensuring the accuracy of subsequent processing or assembly.

[0040] In one embodiment, the positioning module 4 further includes a second positioning member 43 arranged opposite to the first positioning member 42 along a third direction, and both the first positioning member 42 and the second positioning member 43 are connected to the first driving component 41;

[0041] Along a third direction, the first driving component 41 can drive the first positioning element 42 and the second positioning element 43 to move closer to each other or further away from each other;

[0042] When the first positioning member 42 and the second positioning member 43 approach each other, they can clamp the circuit board 5. In this embodiment, when the first positioning member 42 and the second positioning member 43 approach each other, both can position the circuit board 5. When they approach each other, they can position the circuit board 5 from both sides, making the position of the circuit board 5 in the third direction more accurate and stable, effectively avoiding the offset or shaking of the circuit board 5 during the positioning process, and further improving the positioning accuracy of the circuit board 5 at the target station.

[0043] In one embodiment, the positioning module 4 further includes a transfer member 44 and a second driving component 45. The transfer member 44 is connected to the first driving component 41, the second driving component 45 is arranged on the transfer member 44, and the second positioning member 43 is connected to the second driving component 45.

[0044] Along the second direction, the second drive assembly 45 can drive the second positioning member 43 to reciprocate between the extension area and the avoidance area. When the second positioning member 43 is in the extension area, the first positioning member 42 and the second positioning member 43 can clamp the circuit board 5. When the second positioning member 43 is in the avoidance area, when the first positioning member 42 and the second positioning member 43 approach each other along the third direction, the second positioning member 43 does not contact the circuit board 5, so that the first positioning member 42 can push the circuit board 5 to move along the third direction. In this embodiment, the transfer component 44 is located below the second positioning component 43, and the second driving component 45 can be a cylinder, a motor screw, or other similar structure. By setting the transfer component 44 and the second driving component 45, the second positioning component 43 can reciprocate between the extended area and the clearance area. When the second positioning component 43 is in the extended area, the first positioning component 42 and the second positioning component 43 can clamp the circuit board 5, thus achieving centered positioning of the circuit board 5. When the second positioning component 43 is in the clearance area, the first positioning component 42 can push the circuit board 5 to one side of the support frame 1. It is understood that the first positioning component 42 and the second positioning component 43 are only distinguished by name for ease of understanding. In this embodiment, the transfer component 44 and the second driving component 45 can be connected to either of the two positioning components, so that the circuit board 5 can be pushed to the side of the support frame 1 near the first positioning component 42, that is, the circuit board 5 can be pushed to any preset position, which can meet the position requirements of the circuit board 5 in different production processes.

[0045] In one embodiment, the positioning module 4 further includes a guide rail 46, and the first positioning member 42 is slidably connected to the guide rail 46 along a third direction;

[0046] And / or, the second positioning element 43 is slidably connected to the guide rail 46 along a third direction. In this embodiment, there are two guide rails 46, and both the first positioning element 42 and the second positioning element 43 are slidably connected to the guide rail 46. The guide rail 46 provides precise guidance for the first positioning element 42 and the second positioning element 43, enabling them to slide accurately along a third direction, thereby ensuring that the positioning elements maintain a stable and accurate trajectory during movement and improving the positioning accuracy of the circuit board 5.

[0047] In one embodiment, the first positioning member 42 includes a first connecting plate 421 and a plurality of first levers 422, wherein the first connecting plate 421 is connected to the first driving assembly;

[0048] Along the first direction, a plurality of first levers 422 are sequentially arranged on the side of the first connecting plate 421 opposite to the first drive assembly;

[0049] And / or, the second positioning member 43 includes a second connecting plate 431 and a plurality of second levers 432, the second connecting plate 431 being connected to the first drive assembly;

[0050] Along the first direction, a plurality of second levers 432 are sequentially arranged on the side of the second connecting plate 431 opposite to the first driving assembly. In this embodiment, the sequential arrangement of the plurality of first levers 422 and / or second levers 432 can distribute the force to multiple positions of the circuit board 5, avoiding deformation or positional displacement of the circuit board 5 due to excessive force at a single point, thereby improving the positioning accuracy of the circuit board 5. At the same time, the arrangement of the levers increases the contact area between the circuit board 5 and the positioning component, reducing the pressure per unit area, thereby reducing wear and improving the reliability of the equipment.

[0051] In one embodiment, the first drive assembly 41 includes a power source 411, a transmission bar 412, multiple fixed seats 413, a drive wheel 414, and a driven wheel 415. The support of the power source 411 is mounted on a support frame 1. The drive wheel 414 is mounted on the output end of the power source 411. The driven wheel 415 is spaced apart from the drive wheel 414 along a third direction, and the drive wheel 414 drives the driven wheel 415 to rotate. The transmission bar 412 is wound around the driven wheel 415. Multiple fixed seats 413 are mounted on the transmission bar 412. A first positioning member 42 and a second positioning member 43 are respectively connected to a fixed seat 413. In this embodiment, the transmission bar 412 may only be wound around the driven wheel 415, or it may be wound around both the drive wheel 414 and the driven wheel 415 simultaneously. The first power source 411 is a drive motor. The first drive assembly 41, through the cooperation of the transmission bar 412, the driving wheel 414, and the driven wheel 415, can simultaneously drive the first positioning member 42 and the second positioning member 43 to move, thereby achieving synchronous positioning of the circuit board 5 and improving positioning accuracy. At the same time, the first drive assembly 41 can quickly drive the first positioning member 42 and the second positioning member 43 to move, achieving rapid positioning of the circuit board 5, shortening the positioning time, and improving production efficiency.

[0052] In one embodiment, the transmission bar 412 includes a first transmission segment 4121 and a second transmission segment 4122 connected together. The power source 411 has opposing first and second sides, with the first transmission segment 4121 located on the first side and the second transmission segment 4122 located on the second side. Each of the first and second transmission segments 4121 and 4122 is provided with a fixed seat 413. A first positioning member 42 is connected to the fixed seat 413 on the first transmission segment 4121, and a second positioning member 43 is connected to the fixed seat 413 on the second transmission segment 4122. In this embodiment, the transmission bar 412 is a conveyor belt. The first power source 411 can simultaneously drive the first transmission segment 4121 and the second transmission segment 4122, thereby achieving rapid positioning of the first positioning member 42 and the second positioning member 43, shortening the positioning time, and improving production efficiency. The use of a conveyor belt makes the movement of the first positioning member 42 and the second positioning member 43 more stable, reducing positioning errors caused by transmission instability and further improving positioning accuracy.

[0053] In one embodiment, the lifting module 3 includes a lifting drive, a mounting plate 31 and a roller 32. The mounting plate 31 is connected to the lifting drive, and the roller 32 is arranged on the mounting plate 31. The roller 32 is used to contact the circuit board 5. The lifting drive drives the mounting plate 31 and the roller 32 to reciprocate along a second direction, so that the circuit board 5 reciprocates between the first adjustment area and the second adjustment area.

[0054] When the positioning module 4 pushes the circuit board 5 to move along a third direction, the circuit board 5 can drive the roller 32 to rotate along a first axis; wherein, the extension direction of the first axis is parallel to the first direction. In this embodiment, the lifting drive can be a lifting cylinder, and the circuit board 5 contacts the roller 32, with rolling friction between the roller 32 and the circuit board 5. The rolling friction coefficient is much smaller than the sliding friction coefficient, which greatly reduces the frictional force experienced when pushing the circuit board 5 to move along a third direction. The design of the roller 32 also provides the circuit board 5 with a degree of freedom in the width direction (third direction), allowing the circuit board 5 to move more smoothly along the third direction when pushed by the positioning component.

[0055] According to the conveying device of this utility model embodiment, the conveying module 2 conveys the circuit board 5 along a first direction. When the position of the circuit board 5 deviates, and the circuit board 5 is conveyed to the first adjustment area, the lifting module 3 drives the circuit board 5 to move along a second direction to the second adjustment area. The positioning module 4 pushes the circuit board 5 to move along a third direction, thereby adjusting the position of the circuit board 5. Finally, the circuit board 5 can accurately reach the required position, completing the entire conveying and position adjustment process. By conveying and adjusting the position of the circuit board 5, the problem of material deviation that is easy to occur when manually loading is solved. Through the automated process of the conveying device, the position deviation of the circuit board 5 can be effectively reduced, and the accuracy of material conveying to the target workstation can be improved.
