Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of circuit board stamping die technology, and specifically relates to a pallet for use in horizontal production lines. Background Technology

[0002] With the development of technology, the styles of physical products are becoming increasingly diversified, and the demand for miniaturized and refined products is constantly growing. In the electronics manufacturing industry, especially in the production and packaging of small electronic components such as FPCs (flexible printed circuit boards), a series of challenges are faced. Traditionally, these small products are usually stored and transported using trays. This method not only requires a large number of trays and low-adhesion materials, but also presents the following problems: Loose parts: Due to their small size, small products are easily scattered from the trays during handling and packaging, causing product loss or damage, increasing costs and management difficulties; Pressure-sensitive adhesive release issues: In some cases, small products have adhesive backing for fixing or installation. However, during packaging and transportation, this adhesive may separate from the protective film, a phenomenon known as "release," leading to decreased product quality and a poor customer experience; Low manual efficiency: When using the product, customers must remove it one by one and peel off the protective film, a time-consuming and labor-intensive process that seriously affects the efficiency of the production line. Utility Model Content

[0003] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a pallet for horizontal production lines, which aims to solve the problems of unstable fixing, deformation, jamming, contamination and complicated operation that easily occur in the transmission of thin plates in the prior art.

[0004] To solve the above problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows: a pallet for a horizontal production line, comprising: at least one positioning part, a plurality of positioning parts being evenly distributed on the side of the pallet, the positioning part being used to accommodate and fix a thin plate, the positioning part including a slot and an auxiliary positioning groove, the slot being formed by milling, the slot being a U-shaped groove, the bottom ends of both sides of the U-shaped groove being provided with round holes, the round holes communicating with the slot, and the auxiliary positioning groove being located in the center of the slot.

[0005] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this utility model are as follows: by designing a tray with appropriate thickness and elasticity, and serrouting slots of a specific shape on it, the thin plate can be securely inserted, preventing slippage or detachment during horizontal transport; at the same time, by utilizing the resilience of the material, the thin plate can still maintain a good fixing effect when subjected to external forces, significantly reducing the risk of tray jamming; moreover, it abandons the traditional tape fixing method, completely eliminating the problem of board surface contamination caused by tape residue, ensuring the cleanliness of the PCB surface, and not affecting subsequent soldering and other processing steps.

[0006] The aforementioned pallet is made of a copper-free material with a thickness of 0.6mm to 1.2mm.

[0007] The aforementioned pallet has an auxiliary positioning groove that is square. The auxiliary positioning groove is used to increase the stability of the thin plate during the transmission process and prevent the thin plate from rotating or shifting in the slot.

[0008] The length and width of the auxiliary positioning groove in the aforementioned pallet are adjusted according to the different specifications and shapes of thin plates to accommodate various types of thin plates.

[0009] The distance between two adjacent positioning parts of the aforementioned tray shall not exceed 20mm.

[0010] The surface of the aforementioned pallet is ground or polished to improve its smoothness.

[0011] The depth of the slot in the aforementioned tray is 2mm to 5mm, so that the tray and the thin plate fit tightly and are easy to remove.

[0012] The aforementioned pallet has a reinforcing structure at its edge to enhance its overall mechanical strength.

[0015] The reference numerals are as follows: 100 Positioning part, 110 Card slot, 120 Auxiliary positioning slot, 130 Round hole. Detailed Implementation

[0016] The embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below, with reference to Figure 1An embodiment of this utility model provides a pallet for a horizontal production line, comprising: at least one positioning part 100, and multiple positioning parts 100 evenly distributed on the side of the pallet. The positioning part 100 is used to accommodate and fix a thin plate. The positioning part 100 includes a slot 110 and an auxiliary positioning groove 120. The slot 110 is formed by milling and is a U-shaped groove. The bottom ends of both sides of the U-shaped groove are provided with round holes 130, which communicate with the slot 110. The auxiliary positioning groove 120 is located in the center of the slot 110. By designing a tray with appropriate thickness and elasticity, and serrouting specific-shaped slots 110 on it, the thin board can be securely inserted, preventing slippage or detachment during horizontal transport. At the same time, the material's resilience ensures that the thin board maintains good fixation even under external forces, significantly reducing the risk of tray jamming. Furthermore, the traditional tape fixing method is eliminated, completely removing the problem of board surface contamination caused by tape residue, ensuring the cleanliness of the PCB surface and not affecting subsequent soldering and other processing steps.

[0017] Furthermore, the U-shaped slot design securely holds the thin plate during insertion, preventing it from slipping or falling out during transport. The round holes 130 on both sides further enhance the fixing effect, allowing the thin plate to receive additional support at both ends of the slot 110, avoiding deformation or damage caused by single-point force. Moreover, the central auxiliary positioning slot 120 effectively restricts the rotation and lateral movement of the thin plate within the slot 110, ensuring a stable position during transport. This design is particularly suitable for ultra-thin PCBs or other fragile materials, significantly reducing the scrap rate in the production process. Furthermore, the combined design of the U-shaped slot 110 and the auxiliary positioning slot 120 allows the pallet to adapt to thin plates of different sizes and shapes, offering high flexibility and versatility. Operators can adjust the dimensions of the slot 110 and the auxiliary positioning slot 120 according to actual needs to meet diverse production requirements. Furthermore, the installation and removal of the thin plate becomes extremely simple. The thin plate can be quickly fixed simply by gently placing it into the slot 110. After production, the thin plate can also be easily removed, reducing the need for manual intervention and improving production efficiency. Furthermore, this invention does not limit the specific material and thickness of the pallet. Preferably, the pallet is made of a copper-free material with a thickness of 0.6mm to 1.2mm. Copper-free materials have high mechanical strength, capable of withstanding the external forces generated during the transport of the thin plate, ensuring that the pallet will not deform or be damaged during long-term use. This not only extends the service life of the pallet but also ensures its stability under high-load working conditions. Simultaneously, the material possesses a certain degree of elasticity, providing sufficient rebound force when the thin plate is inserted into the slot 110, allowing the thin plate to fit tightly against the pallet surface. This elastic characteristic helps to evenly distribute stress, reducing excessive localized stress and preventing the thin plate from bending or tearing during transport. Moreover, copper-free materials have good corrosion resistance, maintaining stable physical and chemical properties in harsh environments such as humidity and high temperatures. This allows the pallets to perform well in a variety of production environments, reducing maintenance costs and replacement frequency.

[0018] Furthermore, this invention does not limit the specific structure of the auxiliary positioning groove 120. Preferably, the auxiliary positioning groove 120 is a square groove. The auxiliary positioning groove 120 is used to increase the stability of the thin plate during the transmission process and prevent the thin plate from rotating or shifting in the slot 110. The square groove design can accurately fix the center of the thin plate, ensuring that it will not rotate or move laterally during transmission. This high-precision positioning method is particularly suitable for production processes with strict position requirements, such as the assembly of precision electronic components, effectively improving the product qualification rate. The square groove increases the contact area between the thin plate and the pallet, which helps to evenly distribute stress and reduce the situation of excessive local stress. This not only protects the thin plate from damage but also extends the service life of the pallet and reduces maintenance costs. Of course, this invention does not limit the specific length and width of the auxiliary positioning groove 120. Preferably, the length and width of the auxiliary positioning groove 120 are adjusted according to the different specifications and shapes of the thin plates to accommodate various types of thin plates. The adjustability of the auxiliary positioning groove 120 allows the pallet to adapt to thin plates of different sizes and shapes, meeting diverse production needs. Whether processing different product models on the same production line or switching between different production lines, the pallet can be quickly adjusted to ensure optimal fixation. By flexibly adjusting the dimensions of the auxiliary positioning slot 120, operators can quickly fix and disassemble thin plates, reducing changeover and downtime. This not only improves production efficiency but also reduces production costs, enhancing the company's market competitiveness.

[0019] Furthermore, this invention does not limit the distance between adjacent positioning parts 100. Preferably, the distance between two adjacent positioning parts 100 does not exceed 20mm. The smaller spacing between the positioning parts 100 allows the pallet to provide more fixing points within a limited space, ensuring that each thin plate is adequately supported. This is particularly important for production processes that require the simultaneous fixing of multiple thin plates, effectively preventing collisions or stacking of the plates during transport and ensuring production continuity and stability. The compact layout of the positioning parts 100 allows the pallet to fix more thin plates at the same time, increasing production per unit time. This not only improves production efficiency but also reduces equipment downtime, making full use of production line resources. Furthermore, the surface of the pallet is ground or polished to improve its smoothness. A smooth surface significantly reduces friction between the thin plate and the pallet during installation and removal, avoiding scratches and wear caused by friction. This not only protects the surface quality of the thin plates but also extends the service life of the pallet. The polished surface is smoother and less prone to accumulating dust, oil, and other contaminants, maintaining the cleanliness of the pallet. This not only facilitates subsequent processing steps but also reduces the defect rate caused by contamination, ensuring high-quality product standards. Furthermore, this invention does not limit the specific depth of the slot 110; preferably, the depth of the slot 110 is 2mm to 5mm to ensure a tight fit between the tray and the sheet and facilitate easy removal. An appropriate slot 110 depth allows the sheet to fit tightly against the tray surface after insertion, ensuring it will not loosen or fall off during transport. This tight fit not only improves the stability of the fixation but also reduces the impact of vibration on the sheet during transport, guaranteeing product quality. The 2mm to 5mm depth design ensures that the sheet is neither too tight nor too loose during insertion and removal, guaranteeing ease of operation. Operators can easily fix and remove the sheet without using additional tools, improving production efficiency and reducing quality problems caused by human factors.

[0020] Furthermore, the pallet's edges are reinforced to enhance its overall mechanical strength. Reinforcement structures (such as thickened borders or reinforcing ribs) significantly increase the pallet's overall mechanical strength, preventing deformation or damage during long-term use. This not only extends the pallet's lifespan but also ensures its stability under high-load operating conditions, reducing maintenance and replacement frequency. The edges of the pallet are typically the areas subjected to the greatest stress and are easily damaged by external forces. Reinforcement effectively prevents deformation or cracking at the edges, ensuring the pallet maintains good performance throughout use. Moreover, the pallet's length and width can be customized to meet the needs of the actual production line, accommodating horizontal production line equipment of different sizes. Customized sizing allows the pallet to adapt to different sizes and types of horizontal production line equipment, meeting diverse production requirements. Whether on a large production line or in a small workshop, the pallet can be adjusted according to the actual situation to ensure optimal performance. Through customized design, the pallet can perfectly match the production line, reducing unnecessary adjustments and changeover time. This not only improves production efficiency but also reduces production costs.
