[0016] This invention utilizes a multi-layer trawler rack to hold multiple layers of trawler nets. The clamping mechanism, following instructions from an external controller, extracts one layer of trawler net from the rack, collecting two sheets per layer. Once full, the clamping mechanism returns the collected net to the rack. A lifting mechanism then raises the rack by one layer, aligning the adjacent next layer of trawler net with the clamping mechanism. The clamping mechanism then extracts the adjacent next layer of trawler net. This cycle continues until the rack is full, at which point a full signal is given. The rack is then manually pulled out, and another rack is placed in, repeating the process. The entire collection process is automated except for the manual transfer of the rack, significantly reducing labor and increasing production efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0025] This specific embodiment is an FPC board receiving device, the structural schematic diagram of which is shown below. Figures 1-7 As shown, the receiving device includes a frame 1, a multi-layer rack 2 is provided on one side of the inner cavity of the frame 1, at least one drag net 3 is placed on the multi-layer rack 2, a lifting mechanism 4 for lifting the multi-layer rack 2 and at least one drag net 3 is also provided on one side of the inner cavity of the frame 1, and a clamping mechanism 5 for clamping the drag net 3 is also installed on the frame 1.
[0026] This utility model uses a multi-layer rack 2 to hold multiple layers of trawling nets 3. The clamping mechanism 5 pulls out one layer of trawling net 3 from the multi-layer rack 2 according to the instructions of the external controller. Each layer of trawling net 3 holds two sheets. After it is full, the clamping mechanism 5 puts the full trawling net 3 back onto the multi-layer rack 2. Then, under the action of the lifting mechanism 4, the multi-layer rack 2 is raised one layer, so that the adjacent next layer of trawling net 3 rises one layer and corresponds to the position of the clamping mechanism 5. The clamping mechanism 5 pulls out the adjacent next layer of trawling net 3. This cycle continues until 100 sheets are collected. Then, a full signal is given, and the multi-layer rack 2 is manually pulled out. Another multi-layer rack 2 is then placed in to repeat the above actions to collect the materials.
[0027] Two second U-shaped plates 7 are symmetrically arranged on the frame 1. An L-shaped plate is fixedly installed on the side of the two second U-shaped plates 7 that is far apart from each other. The end of the L-shaped plate that is far away from the second U-shaped plate 7 is fixedly installed on the frame 1. The side of the two second U-shaped plates 7 that is close to each other can slide to place the net 3. That is, when the clamping mechanism 5 pulls the net 3 out of the multi-layer frame 2, the two sides of the net 3 slide inside the two second U-shaped plates 7 respectively. When the net 3 is completely pulled out from the multi-layer frame 2, the two sides of the net 3 are located inside the two second U-shaped plates 7 respectively.
[0028] The multi-tier shelf 2 includes a frame 201, casters 202 installed at the four corners of the bottom of the frame 201, a first U-shaped plate 203 fixedly installed on the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the frame 201, and a handle 204 hinged to the inner top wall of the front side of the frame 201.
[0029] The caster wheel 202 can be a self-locking caster wheel, which makes the entire shelf 2 easy to move.
[0030] The handles 204 are positioned on the left and right sides to make it easy for the user to pull the entire shelf 2 and move it.
[0031] At least one first U-shaped plate 203 is provided on the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the frame 201, and the first U-shaped plates 203 on the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the frame 201 are distributed one-to-one from top to bottom. This arrangement allows multiple layers of trawl nets 3 to be placed at the same time from top to bottom. For example, if there are 50 first U-shaped plates 203 on the inner walls of the front and rear sides of the frame 201 from top to bottom, 50 layers of trawl nets 3 can be placed. Each trawl net 3 holds two plates, so 100 plates can be held. At the same time, the distance between two adjacent layers of trawl nets 3 is equidistant from 15mm, leaving a gap to facilitate the clamping mechanism 5 to clamp the trawl nets 3.
[0032] Users can move the frame 201 by pulling the handle 204 and moving it via the casters 202, which makes the entire shelf 2 easy to move and reduces the labor intensity of the staff.
[0033] The lifting mechanism 4 includes a base 401 fixedly installed on the inner wall of the frame 1, a first motor 402 fixedly installed on the top of the base 401, a lead screw 403 fixedly installed on the output end of the first motor 402, a nut seat 404 threaded onto the lead screw 403, a lifting plate 405 fixedly installed on the nut seat 404, and a support plate 406 fixedly installed on the lifting plate 405.
[0034] A first sliding block 407 is fixedly installed on the lifting plate 405, and a first slide rail 408 that cooperates with the first sliding block 407 is fixedly installed on the base 401. The end of the first sliding block 407 away from the lifting plate 405 is slidably installed on the first slide rail 408. There are two first sliding blocks 407 and two first slide rails 408, and they are symmetrically arranged. With the cooperation of the first sliding block 407 and the first slide rail 408, the lifting plate 405 can be guided during the lifting process, so that the movement of the lifting plate 405 is more stable.
[0035] When the first motor 402 drives the lead screw 403 to rotate clockwise, the lead screw 403 can drive the nut seat 404 to move upward. During the upward movement of the nut seat 404, it can drive the lifting plate 405 to move upward. During the upward movement of the lifting plate 405, it can drive the support plate 406 to move upward. During the upward movement of the support plate 406, it can drive the multi-layer rack 2 and the trawling net 3 placed on the multi-layer rack 2 to move upward synchronously.
[0036] Similarly, when the first motor 402 drives the lead screw 403 to rotate counterclockwise, it can drive the multi-layer rack 2 and the drag net 3 placed on the multi-layer rack 2 to move downward synchronously.
[0037] Thus, the lifting mechanism 4 enables the lifting of the multi-layer rack 2 and the drag net 3 placed on the multi-layer rack 2.
[0038] A limiting mechanism 6 for limiting the shelf 2 is also provided on one side of the inner cavity of the frame 1. The limiting mechanism 6 includes a cylinder 601 fixedly installed on the lifting plate 405, a limiting rod 602 fixedly installed on the output end of the cylinder 601, a limiting block 603 fixedly installed on the inner bottom wall of the rear side of the frame 201, and a limiting groove that cooperates with the limiting rod 602 is opened in the middle of the limiting block 603.
[0039] A door is hinged to one side of the frame 1. A door lock structure can be installed on the door and the frame 1. The door lock structure is not an improvement point of this application. Therefore, the existing technology can be used for the door lock. Opening the door can remove the trolley 3 and the multi-layer rack 2 that are full of boards on one side of the inner cavity of the frame 1. Then, a new multi-layer rack 2 is moved into one side of the inner cavity of the frame 1. Then the door is closed.
[0040] When the multi-layer rack 2 moves into one side of the inner cavity of the frame 1, the bottom of the frame 201 contacts the support plate 406, the rear side of the frame 201 contacts the lifting plate 405, and the limiting rod 602 is located directly above the limiting groove opened by the limiting block 603. At this time, the cylinder 601 drives the limiting rod 602 to move downward into the interior of the limiting groove. With the cooperation of the limiting rod 602, the limiting groove and the limiting block 603, the position of the multi-layer rack 2 can be fixed. In this way, the support plate 406 can prevent the multi-layer rack 2 from shifting during the lifting and lowering process.
[0041] The clamping mechanism 5 includes a second motor fixedly installed on the other side of the inner cavity of the frame 1, a drive wheel 502 fixedly installed on the output shaft of the second motor, a driven wheel 503 rotatably installed on the frame 1, a synchronous belt 504 installed on the drive wheel 502 and the driven wheel 503, a transmission block fixedly installed on the synchronous belt 504, a housing 506 fixedly installed on the top of the transmission block, and a finger cylinder 507 fixedly installed on the housing 506.
[0042] A second slide rail 501 is fixedly installed on the frame 1, and a second sliding block 505 that cooperates with the second slide rail 501 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the housing 506. The bottom of the second sliding block 505 is slidably installed on the second slide rail 501.
[0043] When the second motor drives the drive wheel 502 to rotate clockwise, the drive wheel 502 drives the driven wheel 503 to rotate synchronously via the synchronous belt 504. The synchronous belt 504, during its rotation, drives the transmission block to move closer to the shelf 2. The transmission block, in turn, drives the housing 506 to move closer to the shelf 2. The housing 506, in turn, drives the finger cylinder 507 to move towards the shelf 2. When the finger cylinder 507 moves to the position where the net 3 is being pulled out, the gripper on the finger cylinder 507 clamps the net 3. Then, the second motor drives the drive wheel 502 to rotate counterclockwise, causing the transmission block, housing 506, and finger cylinder to move together. The cylinder 507 moves away from the shelf 2, and the drag net 3 held by the finger cylinder 507 is pulled out from the inside of the shelf 2. During the movement of the drag net 3 away from the shelf 2, its two sides slide inside the two second U-shaped plates 7 respectively. After the drag net 3 moves to the designated position, two plates are placed. Then, the second motor drives the drive wheel 502 to rotate clockwise, so that the drag net 3 moves into the inside of the first U-shaped plate 203 on the shelf 2. Finally, the second motor drives the drive wheel 502 to rotate counterclockwise, so that the transmission block, the box 506 and the finger cylinder 507 move away from the shelf 2 and reset. At this time, the material collection work of the drag net 3 of this layer is completed.
[0044] Then, the lifting mechanism 4 drives the multilayer rack 2 to rise one layer, so that the adjacent next layer of trawl net 3 moves upward to the height position corresponding to the clamping mechanism 5, and then repeats the above action to complete the material collection; this cycle continues until the 50 layers of trawl net 3 have collected 100 sheets, then a full material signal is given, the multilayer rack 2 is manually pulled out, and another multilayer rack 2 is put in for material collection.
[0045] In summary, this utility model allows for the placement of multiple layers of trawl nets 3 using a multi-layer rack 2. The clamping mechanism 5 extracts one layer of trawl net 3 from the rack 2 according to instructions from an external controller. Each layer of trawl net 3 holds two sheets. Once full, the clamping mechanism 5 returns the full trawl net 3 to the rack 2. Then, under the action of the lifting mechanism 4, the rack 2 rises one layer, aligning the adjacent next layer of trawl net 3 with the position of the clamping mechanism 5. The clamping mechanism 5 then extracts the adjacent next layer of trawl net 3. This cycle continues until 100 sheets are collected. A full signal is then given, and the rack 2 is manually pulled out. Another rack 2 is then placed in, and the above actions are repeated for material collection. The entire material collection process is automated except for the manual transfer of the rack 2; all other steps are automated, significantly reducing worker workload and improving production efficiency.
[0046] The above embodiments are preferred implementations of this utility model. In addition, this utility model can also be implemented in other ways. Any obvious substitutions without departing from the concept of this technical solution are within the protection scope of this utility model.
