Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of circuit board transportation technology, specifically a flexible circuit board transportation device. Background Technology

[0002] Flexible circuit board (FPCB) transport devices play a crucial role in the electronics industry, especially in the production of printed circuit boards. They are widely used in the production of electronic products, particularly in SMT workshops, for the storage, transfer, and temporary storage of circuit boards.

[0003] Flexible circuit board (PCB) transport devices typically consist of a frame, casters, and limiting plates. During transport, the PCBs are evenly placed between the limiting plates, which clamp and fix the sides of the PCBs. However, the size of the PCBs may vary depending on the design and application requirements. To ensure that the PCB transport device can accommodate PCBs of different sizes, the spacing of the limiting plates needs to be adjusted to match different specifications of PCBs. In common transport devices, the spacing is adjusted by rotating the adjustment knob on the top. Maintenance personnel often have difficulty accessing the adjustment knob, and the top knob may also affect the operator's line of sight or judgment, increasing the difficulty and cost of maintenance.

Detailed Implementation

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0023] Please see Figure 1-4 The present invention provides an embodiment of a flexible board transport device, comprising a frame 1 and further comprising:

[0024] Limiting plate 2 is located in the center of the frame 1, and there are placement spaces 21 between the limiting plates 2 for placing the circuit boards that need to be transported.

[0025] Steel bars 3 are set on the top of both sides of the frame 1. Sliding sleeves 4 are set on the top of both sides of the limiting plate 2, and the sliding sleeves 4 are all fitted on the steel bars 3.

[0026] The adjusting screw 12 passes through one end of the sliding sleeve 4, and the end of the adjusting screw 12 near the steel strip 3 is provided with a fastener 10;

[0027] Each end of the adjusting screw 12 away from the fastener 10 is provided with an adjusting knob 5, and each adjusting knob 5 is provided with an anti-slip sleeve 11 to increase friction.

[0028] When it is necessary to adjust the spacing of the limit plate 2, the adjustment knob 5 is turned to drive the adjustment screw 12 to rotate, so that the fastener 10 is separated from the steel strip 3. Then, the sliding sleeve 4 is slid on the steel strip 3 to a suitable position, thereby adjusting the spacing of the limit plate 2 so that the spacing meets the size specifications of the circuit board to be placed.

[0029] Then rotate the adjustment knob 5 until the fastener 10 is pressed against and fixed to the steel strip 3. The end of the fastener 10 near the steel strip 3 is provided with a rubber pad 13, which helps to increase friction and improve the tightness of the sliding sleeve 4 after it is fixed to the steel strip 3.

[0030] By changing the traditional top adjustment method to side adjustment, it is more convenient for maintenance personnel to operate, reduces the impact on the operator's line of sight, and improves work efficiency;

[0031] The outer side of the steel strip 3 is provided with a wear-resistant layer 9, and the wear-resistant layer 9 is made of ceramic coating, so that the sliding sleeve 4 is not easy to wear when sliding on the steel strip 3;

[0032] Two sets of guide rods 7 are provided at the bottom of the frame 1. Both sides of the bottom of the limiting plate 2 are slidably connected to the guide rods 7 through guide sleeves 8, so as to guide and limit the bottom of the limiting plate 2 when it is slidably adjusted.

[0033] The limiting plate 2 has slots 20 evenly arranged on both sides. Then, the circuit board to be transported is placed in the placement space 21 between the limiting plates 2. The circuit board is inserted into the slots 20 on both sides. The limiting plates 2 are made of anti-static plastic, which has good anti-static performance and can effectively prevent static electricity from damaging the circuit board.

[0034] The casters 6 are provided in four sets, and the casters 6 are respectively installed at the four corners of the bottom of the frame 1 via the bracket 14. The frame 1 is then moved to the transfer location by the casters 6.

[0035] The outer side of each caster wheel 6 is fitted with a rubber sleeve 19 to prevent slippage. A hub 15 is provided in the center of each caster wheel 6, and an anti-pressure cavity 16 is provided on the outer side of each hub 15.

[0036] Rubber buffers 17 are distributed inside the pressure-resistant cavity 16. When the caster wheel 6 rolls on an uneven road surface, it will generate vibration. The rubber buffers 17 can absorb this vibration energy and convert it into elastic potential energy, thereby reducing the impact on the hub 15 and increasing the stability of the circuit board during transport.

[0037] Each rubber buffer body 17 has a cavity 18 at the center of its interior, which further increases the elastic deformation capacity of the rubber buffer body 17 and thus improves its buffering effect.

[0038] Working Principle: In this embodiment, steel bars 3 are installed on the top of both sides of the frame 1. The top of both sides of the limiting plate 2 are slidably connected to the steel bars 3 via sliding sleeves 4. One end of the sliding sleeve 4 passes through the adjusting screw 12. When it is necessary to adjust the spacing of the limiting plates 2, the adjusting screw 12 is rotated by turning the adjusting knob 5, causing the fastener 10 to separate from the steel bars 3. Then, the sliding sleeve 4 is slid on the steel bars 3 to a suitable position, thereby adjusting the spacing of the limiting plates 2 so that the spacing meets the size specifications of the circuit board to be placed. Then, the adjusting knob 5 is turned until the fastener 10 and the steel bars 3 are pressed and fixed. By changing the traditional top adjustment method... To facilitate side adjustment, making it easier for maintenance personnel to operate, reducing the impact on the operator's line of sight, and improving work efficiency, the circuit board to be transported is then placed in the placement space 21 between the limiting plates 2. Then, the frame 1 is moved to the transfer location by the casters 6. The outer side of the hub 15 of the casters 6 is provided with an anti-pressure cavity 16. The interior of the anti-pressure cavity 16 is evenly distributed with rubber buffers 17. When the casters 6 roll on uneven ground, vibration will be generated. The rubber buffers 17 can absorb these vibration energy and convert them into elastic potential energy, thereby reducing the impact on the hub 15 and increasing the stability of the circuit board during transfer.
