Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of PCB board production technology, and in particular to a board receiving device. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of printed circuit boards, from design to finished product, multiple processes are required.

[0022] In one embodiment, the clamping assembly further includes a second elastic member disposed on the second rotating shaft. The two ends of the second elastic member abut against the side of the limiting portion facing the clamping portion and the side of the clamping portion facing the limiting portion, respectively, so that the clamping assembly has a tendency to maintain the first state.

The conveying mechanism transports the PCB board to the side near the receiving mechanism. The transfer mechanism clamps the PCB board on the conveying mechanism and transfers it to the receiving mechanism. Each receiving slot group corresponds to one PCB board. Since the receiving slot groups are spaced apart, the PCB boards carried by each receiving slot group are adjacent but not in close contact, which can avoid direct contact between the PCB boards during storage, causing wear on the PCB board surface and affecting performance.

[0069] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present utility model.

[0070] It should be noted that if the embodiments of this utility model involve directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.), the directional indicators are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of the components in a specific posture.

For example, "A and / or B" includes solution A, solution B, or a solution where both A and B are satisfied simultaneously. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this utility model.

[0072] In the printed circuit board (PCB) manufacturing process, from design to finished product, multiple steps are required. Between these steps, PCBs typically need to be stored and transferred for further processing or transportation. As electronic products become increasingly complex and integrated, the design and manufacturing requirements for PCBs become more stringent. In traditional PCB production and logistics management, stacking is often used to store and transfer PCBs to save space and facilitate handling. However, traditional stacking methods have some obvious drawbacks, such as direct contact between board surfaces, which may cause frictional damage and affect the performance of the PCBs.

[0073] This utility model proposes a plate collecting device.

[0074] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In one embodiment of this utility model, the plate-collecting device includes:

[0075] frame;

[0076] A plate-collecting mechanism 200 is mounted on the frame, and multiple collection slots are spaced apart on the plate-collecting mechanism 200.

[0077] A conveying mechanism 300 is mounted on a frame and carries at least one PCB board 10.

[0078] Transfer mechanism 400, mounted on the frame, is used to transfer the PCB board 10 carried on the conveyor mechanism 300 to the receiving slot group; and

[0079] At least one clamping component 500 is provided, and each clamping component 500 corresponds to a storage slot group to clamp the PCB board 10 when the PCB board 10 is stored in the storage slot group.

[0080] In the technical solution of this utility model, a conveying mechanism 300 is set on the frame, which carries the PCB board 10 processed in the previous process. The conveying mechanism 300 conveys the PCB board 10 to the side near the receiving mechanism 200. The transfer mechanism 400 clamps the PCB board 10 on the conveying mechanism 300 and transfers it to the receiving mechanism 200. Each receiving slot group corresponds to one PCB board 10. Since the receiving slot groups are spaced apart, the PCB boards 10 carried by each receiving slot group are adjacent but not in close contact, which can avoid direct contact between the PCB boards 10 during storage, causing wear on the PCB board 10 and affecting performance. In addition, a clamping component 500 is set. When the receiving slot group holds the PCB board 10, the clamping component 500 can clamp the PCB board 10 to prevent the PCB board 10 from swinging in the receiving slot group and causing position changes. The clamping component 500 can keep the PCB board 10 in the same vertical reference position in the receiving slot group, avoid deviation in the board picking position in subsequent processes, and improve work efficiency.

[0081] In a specific embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, the plate-collecting equipment includes a frame and a cover 100. A plate-collecting mechanism 200, a conveying mechanism 300, a transfer mechanism 400, and a clamping assembly 500 are mounted on the frame. The cover 100 encloses the frame, reducing the impact of the external environment on the plate-collecting process.

[0082] It should be noted that the board receiving equipment in this solution can also work in reverse. For example, if multiple PCB boards 10 are stored at intervals on the board receiving mechanism 200, the PCB boards 10 in the receiving slot group can be transferred to the conveying mechanism 300 through the transfer mechanism 400. The conveying mechanism 300 will then transport the PCB boards 10 to the next process for processing. The working principle is the same.

[0083] In an embodiment of this utility model, the frame has at least one picking station 101, and the board receiving device further includes a moving mechanism 600. The board receiving mechanism 200 is disposed on the moving mechanism 600. The moving mechanism 600 drives the board receiving mechanism 200 that is not carrying PCB board 10 to move to the picking station 101, and drives the board receiving mechanism 200 that is full of PCB board 10 away from the picking station 101.

[0084] Specifically, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The moving mechanism 600 is configured as an AGV trolley. The moving mechanism 600 carries the board receiving mechanism 200 and drives the board receiving mechanism 200 to move. The moving mechanism 600 moves the empty board receiving mechanism 200 that does not carry PCB boards 10 to the picking station 101. When all the receiving slots of the board receiving mechanism 200 in the picking station 101 are filled with PCB boards 10, the moving mechanism 600 drives the board receiving mechanism 200 to move. At this time, the transfer mechanism 400 places the PCB boards 10 on the board receiving mechanism 200 of other picking stations 101, and the empty picking station 101 can be placed on the empty board receiving mechanism 200. By adopting a multi-station mode, uninterrupted continuous production is achieved, and production efficiency is improved.

[0085] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3As shown, a lifting module 700 is provided at each material picking station 101. The lifting module 700 includes a pallet 710 and a lifting drive component 720 for driving the pallet 710 to rise and fall, such as a lead screw module or a linear module. Since the bottom dimension of the plate-collecting mechanism 200 is larger than that of the moving mechanism 600 when it is on the moving mechanism 600, and because the pallet 710 is set on both sides of the material picking station 101, when the moving mechanism 600 drives the plate-collecting mechanism 200 to the material picking station 101, the pallet 710 is exactly aligned with the bottom sides of the plate-collecting mechanism 200. The lifting drive component 720 drives the plate-collecting mechanism 200 to rise and fall. When picking up or collecting the plate, the lifting drive component 720 drives the plate-collecting mechanism 200 to rise, which can realize the flat gripping and flat placement of the transfer mechanism 400, resulting in higher work efficiency.

[0086] Please refer to Figure 4 In an embodiment of this utility model, the plate-collecting mechanism 200 includes:

[0087] Mounting bracket 210 includes a first plate 211 and a second plate 212 that are interconnected.

[0088] The storage component 220 is installed on the mounting bracket 210. The storage component 220 includes a first fixing plate 221 and a second fixing plate 222. The first fixing plate 221 is disposed on the first plate 211 and is provided with a plurality of first positioning grooves 223 at intervals along the first direction. The second fixing plate 222 is disposed on the second plate 212 and is provided with a plurality of second positioning grooves 224 at intervals along the first direction. Each first positioning groove 223 and second positioning groove 224 forms a storage groove group. The first positioning groove 223 and the second positioning groove 224 are respectively used to support the adjacent two sides of the PCB board 10.

[0089] Specifically, one side of the first plate 211 is fixedly connected to one side of the second plate 212 in an "L" shape. Preferably, the first plate 211 and the second plate 212 are integrally formed, with the first plate 211 vertically positioned and the second plate 212 horizontally positioned. A first fixing plate 221 is provided on the side of the first plate 211 facing the second plate 212, extending horizontally. A second fixing plate 222 is provided on the side of the second plate 212 facing upwards, extending horizontally as well. This second fixing plate 222 is used to horizontally space multiple PCB boards 10. Each PCB board 10 is placed vertically. Multiple first positioning slots 223 are provided on the first fixing plate 221, and multiple second positioning slots 224 are provided on the second fixing plate 222. The first positioning slots 223 and the second positioning slots 224 are used to position and support the side and bottom edges of the PCB board 10, respectively. Since the multiple first positioning slots 223 are spaced apart, and each first positioning slot 223 corresponds to a second positioning slot 224, each PCB board 10 is in a separated state, which can both position the PCB board 10 and prevent the board surfaces of the PCB board 10 from contacting each other.

[0090] It should be noted that the opposite sides of the first plate 211 and the second plate 212 are both tilted towards the side away from each other, so that the bottom edge of the PCB board 10 is in a tilted state, and the end closer to the first plate 211 is lower than the end away from the first plate 211. This can further limit the PCB board 10 and prevent it from falling off the mounting bracket 210.

[0091] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, multiple first fixing plates 221 are arranged vertically on the first plate 211, and multiple second fixing plates 222 are arranged on the second plate 212. The first positioning groove 223 and the second positioning groove 224 are arranged correspondingly. By setting multiple first fixing plates 221 and multiple second fixing plates 222, PCB boards 10 of different lengths and heights can be adapted. As shown in the figure, there are two different sizes of PCB boards 10, which has a wider range of applications.

[0092] Please refer to Figure 4 In an embodiment of this utility model, the plate-collecting device further includes a support frame 230, which extends along a first direction and is mounted on the first plate 211. A plurality of clamping components 500 are spaced apart along the first direction on the support frame 230. Each clamping component 500 includes:

[0093] The fixing part 510 is provided on the support frame 230;

[0094] The positioning part 520 is installed on the fixing part 510;

[0095] The clamping part 530 is hinged to the positioning part 520 via a first rotating shaft 580;

[0096] The first elastic element 540 is sleeved on the first rotating shaft 580 and abuts against the side of the clamping part 530 facing the positioning part 520, so that the end of the clamping part 530 away from the fixing part 510 has a tendency to rotate away from the positioning part 520.

[0097] The limiting part 550 is hinged to the clamping part 530 via the second rotating shaft 590. The limiting part 550 and the clamping part 530 are detachably connected to have a first state and a second state.

[0098] In the first state, the limiting part 550 and the positioning part 520 are engaged at the end away from the fixing part 510, so that there is a gap between the end of the clamping part 530 near the fixing part 510 and the fixing part 510. In the second state, the limiting part 550 and the positioning part 520 are disengaged, and the first elastic member 540 drives the end of the clamping part 530 away from the fixing part 510 to rotate in the direction away from the positioning part 520, and causes the end of the clamping part 530 near the fixing part 510 to move towards the fixing part 510, so as to clamp the PCB board 10.

[0099] Specifically, such as Figure 5 - Figure 7 As shown, the first plate 211 is hollow, and both ends of the support frame 230 are fixed to the first plate 211. The clamping assembly 500 includes a fixing part 510, a positioning part 520, and a clamping part 530. The fixing part 510 includes a first plate parallel to the support frame 230 and a second plate perpendicular to the first plate. The first plate is located on the side of the support frame 230 facing the second plate 212 and is mounted on the support frame 230 by screws. The positioning part 520 is mounted on the side of the first plate away from the second plate by screws and extends in the direction away from the second plate. The clamping part 530 is located on one side of the positioning part 520. A first rotating shaft 580 is provided between the clamping part 530 and the positioning part 520, and they are rotatably connected by the first rotating shaft 580. A first elastic sleeve is fitted on the first rotating shaft 580. The first elastic member 540 has two ends extending away from the fixing part 510 and abutting against the positioning part 520 and the clamping part 530 respectively, so that the ends of the positioning part 520 and the clamping part 530 away from the fixing part 510 tend to move away from each other. Due to the setting of the first rotating shaft 580, the ends of the positioning part 520 and the clamping part 530 near the fixing part 510 move closer to each other. Since the positioning part 520 is fixedly installed on the fixing part 510, and the fixing part 510 is fixed on the support frame 230, the first elastic member 540 drives the clamping part 530 to rotate, so that the end of the clamping part 530 near the fixing part 510 rotates toward the fixing part 510 and cooperates with the second plate to clamp the PCB board 10.

[0100] The clamping assembly 500 also includes a limiting part 550, which is disposed at the end of the positioning part 520 away from the fixing part 510, and is rotatably connected to the end of the clamping part 530 away from the fixing part 510 via a second rotating shaft 590. A hook part 570 is provided on the side of the limiting part 550 away from the clamping part 530. The hook part 570 is detachably connected to the positioning part 520, allowing it to have a first state and a second state. In the first state, the hook part 570 engages with the positioning part 520. Since the hook part 570 and the positioning part 520 are relatively fixed, the clamping part 530 and the hook part 570 are also relatively fixed. Even if the first elastic member 540 drives the end of the clamping part 530 away from the fixing part 510... When the clamping part 530 is away from the positioning part 520, it cannot move either. Therefore, there is a certain gap between the end of the clamping part 530 near the fixing part 510 and the second plate, so that the PCB board 10 can be inserted between the second plate and the clamping part 530. In the second state, after the hook part 570 is disengaged from the positioning part 520, the positioning part 520 releases the restriction on the hook part 570. Driven by the first elastic member 540, the end of the clamping part 530 away from the fixing part 510 rotates in the direction away from the positioning part 520, and the end near the fixing part 510 rotates in the direction of the fixing part 510, and cooperates with the second plate to clamp the PCB board 10, preventing the PCB board 10 in the first positioning groove 223 from swinging.

[0101] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 In an embodiment of the present invention, the clamping assembly 500 further includes a second elastic member 560, which is disposed on the second rotating shaft 590. The two ends of the second elastic member 560 abut against the side of the limiting portion 550 facing the clamping portion 530 and the side of the clamping portion 530 facing the limiting portion 550, respectively, so that the clamping assembly 500 has a tendency to maintain the first state.

[0102] Specifically, a second elastic element 560 is provided on the second rotating shaft 590. The second elastic element 560 can be a leaf spring, with both ends extending away from the fixing part 510. The two ends of the second elastic element 560 abut against the sides of the limiting part 550 and the clamping part 530 facing each other. When the hook part 570 is engaged with the positioning part 520, the second elastic element 560 drives the limiting part 550 to rotate toward the positioning part 520 and also drives the clamping part 530 to rotate away from the positioning part 520, further preventing the hook part 570 from disengaging from the positioning part 520. When it is necessary to clamp the PCB board 10, it is only necessary to push the clamping part 530 and the limiting part 550 to move toward the positioning part 520, so that the hook part 570 is disengaged from the positioning part 520, and under the drive of the first elastic element 540, the clamping part 530 is clamped with the fixing part 510.

[0103] Please refer to Figure 1In an embodiment of this utility model, the conveying mechanism 300 includes:

[0104] Conveyor frame 310, mounted on the machine frame;

[0105] A conveying assembly 320 is provided on the conveying frame 310. The conveying assembly 320 is used to carry the PCB board 10 and drive the PCB board 10 to move along the second direction.

[0106] Lifting component 330 is provided on conveyor frame 310. Lifting component 330 is used to drive PCB board 10 on conveyor component 320 to rise, so that PCB board 10 is away from conveyor component 320.

[0107] The clapper assembly 340 is located on both sides of the conveyor frame 310. The clapper assembly 340 is used to drive the PCB board 10 to move in a third direction when the PCB board 10 is raised.

[0108] The second direction is perpendicular to the third direction.

[0109] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, a conveying assembly 320 is provided on the conveyor frame 310. The conveying assembly 320 is used to receive the PCB board 10 in the previous process and move the PCB board 10 along the second direction to the side near the picking station 101, waiting for the transfer mechanism 400 to pick up the PCB board 10. A lifting assembly 330 and a clapping assembly 340 are provided on the conveyor frame 310. When picking up the board in the previous process, due to different customers or different production conditions, the PCB board 10 may be positioned to the left, right, or in the middle of the previous process. The position is different, so when the conveying assembly 320 receives the board, the position of the PCB board 10 is the same as the position of the PCB board 10 in the previous process. However, when discharging the board from the conveying assembly 320, it may be required that the PCB board 10 is in the middle position for easier picking. That is, the lifting assembly 330 drives the PCB board 10 to rise, so that the PCB board 10 is in the same position as the conveyor. When component 320 is in a non-contact state, the PCB board 10 is pushed along a third direction by the clapping component 340, so that the PCB board 10 is centered or close to the other side to meet the discharge position requirements. Since the pushing direction of the clapping component 340 is perpendicular to the conveying direction of the conveying component 320, if the conveying component 320 comes into contact with the PCB board 10 when the clapping component 340 pushes the PCB board 10, the friction between the PCB board 10 and the conveying component 320 will be large, which may scratch the surface of the PCB board 10. The lifting component 330 lifts the PCB board 10 away from the conveying component 320 to avoid scratching the PCB board 10 when the clapping component 340 pushes the PCB board 10. In addition, after the lifting component 330 lifts the PCB board 10, it also provides clearance for the transfer mechanism 400 to clamp the PCB board 10, making it easier to grab the PCB board 10.

[0110] Please refer to Figure 8 In an embodiment of this utility model, the conveying assembly 320 includes:

[0111] A drive shaft 321 is rotatably mounted on a conveyor frame 310. The drive shaft 321 extends along a third direction. At least one drive shaft 321 is provided, and multiple drive shafts 321 are spaced apart along a second direction. Multiple first rollers 323 are spaced apart on each drive shaft 321.

[0112] The first drive motor 322 is located on the conveyor frame 310, and the first drive motor 322 is connected to drive the drive shaft 321 to rotate.

[0113] Specifically, the conveying assembly 320 includes a drive shaft 321 extending along a third direction and rotatably connected to the conveying frame 310 at both ends. Multiple first rollers 323 are spaced along the length of the drive shaft 321, and the rotation of the drive shaft 321 drives the first rollers 323 to rotate. Multiple drive shafts 321 are provided and spaced along a second direction. Both ends of each drive shaft 321 are rotatably connected to the conveying frame 310. A first drive motor 322 is provided on the conveying frame 310, and the first drive motor 322 drives the conveying assembly 320 via a motor... The seat is mounted on the conveyor frame 310, and the output end of the first drive motor 322 is connected to the synchronous pulley. The end of the drive shaft 321 is also coaxially connected to the synchronous pulley. The synchronous pulley connected to the first drive motor 322 and the synchronous pulley connected to the drive shaft 321 are connected by belt drive, so that one first drive motor 322 can drive multiple drive shafts 321 to rotate simultaneously. Since the first roller 323 is in contact with the PCB board 10, the rotation of the drive shaft 321 and the first roller 323 drives the PCB board 10 to move along the second direction to transport the PCB board 10.

[0114] Please refer to Figure 9 In an embodiment of this utility model, the lifting assembly 330 includes:

[0115] The lifting frame 331 is located on the conveyor frame 310;

[0116] Mounting plate 332 is provided on lifting frame 331. Mounting plate 332 extends along a third direction. At least one mounting plate 332 is provided, and multiple mounting plates 332 are spaced apart along a second direction. Each mounting plate 332 is provided with multiple second rollers 335 spaced apart along its length direction. The axis of the second rollers 335 is the second direction.

[0117] The lifting drive structure 333 is located on both sides of the conveyor frame 310. The lifting drive structure 333 drives the lifting frame 331 to lift.

[0118] Each mounting plate 332 is positioned between two adjacent drive shafts 321.

[0119] Specifically, the lifting assembly 330 includes a lifting frame 331, on which a mounting plate 332 is provided. The mounting plate 332 is horizontally positioned and extends along a third direction. Multiple mounting plates 332 are spaced apart along a second direction so that each mounting plate 332 can be correspondingly positioned between two adjacent drive shafts 321. The lifting frame 331 is driven to rise by the lifting drive structure 333. At this time, the mounting plate 332 rises between adjacent drive shafts 321. Multiple upright plates 334 protrude above the mounting plate 332 and are spaced apart along a third direction. Adjacent upright plates 334 A partition groove is provided between the mounting plates 332 to reduce their weight and improve efficiency. A second roller 335 is provided on the upright plate 334, and its horizontal plane is parallel to the plane formed by multiple drive shafts 321. It should be noted that the central axis of the second roller 335 is along the second direction, which can be understood as the rolling direction of the second roller 335 being the third direction. When the slapping plate assembly 340 pushes the PCB board 10 along the third direction, the rolling of the second roller 335 can reduce the friction of the PCB board 10 and prevent scratches on the PCB board 10. The lifting drive structure 333 is configured as a lifting cylinder.

[0120] When the first drive motor 322 drives the drive shaft 321 to rotate to transport the PCB board 10, the PCB board 10 may be skewed during the transport process. At this time, the lifting cylinder drives the lifting frame 331 to rise, so that the mounting plate 332 pushes the PCB board 10 upward. The PCB board 10 is pushed by the clapping mechanism and rolls on the second roller 335 to adjust its position. After the adjustment is completed, if it is no longer necessary to transport the PCB board 10, it waits for the robot arm 410 to grab it. If it is necessary to continue transporting, the lifting cylinder drives the lifting frame 331 to fall, so that the PCB board 10 contacts the first roller 323 to continue transporting the PCB board 10.

[0121] Please refer to Figure 10 In an embodiment of this utility model, the clapper assembly 340 includes:

[0122] Sliding plate 341 slides along a third direction on conveyor frame 310;

[0123] Push plate 342 is located on sliding plate 341;

[0124] The clapper drive structure includes a second drive motor 343 and a transmission belt 344. The second drive motor 343 is located on the conveyor frame 310 and is connected to the transmission belt 344. The sliding plate 341 is fixedly installed on the transmission belt 344.

[0125] Specifically, the clapper assembly 340 includes two adjustment brackets, located on both sides of the conveyor frame 310, with the connection between the two adjustment brackets along a third direction. A second drive motor 343 is mounted on one of the adjustment brackets. A drive wheel and a driven wheel are rotatably mounted on the two adjustment brackets, respectively. The output end of the second drive motor 343 is connected to the drive wheel. The drive wheel and the driven wheel are connected by a transmission belt 344. The second drive motor 343 drives the drive wheel to rotate, and the drive wheel drives the driven wheel to rotate via the transmission belt 344. A connecting plate is connected to the bottom of the sliding plate 341 and is mounted on the transmission belt 344. The rotation of the transmission belt 344 causes the sliding plate 341 to rotate along a third direction. A push plate 342 is mounted above the sliding plate 341 and extends along a second direction. The push plate 342 moves along the third direction with the sliding plate 341. Since the push plate 342 extends along the second direction, it can push the side of the PCB board 10 to adjust its position.

[0126] To ensure that the sliding plate 341 moves more stably in the third direction, a guide shaft 345 is set horizontally between the two adjusting brackets. The sliding plate 341 is sleeved on the guide shaft 345 and slidably connected to the guide shaft 345. The sliding plate 341 is driven to move by the clapper drive structure. The sliding plate 341 moves in the third direction on the guide shaft 345, making the push plate 342 move more stably.

[0127] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 11 In an embodiment of this utility model, the transfer mechanism 400 includes:

[0128] Robotic arm 410, mounted on the frame;

[0129] The transport assembly 420 is located at the output end of the robot 410. The transport assembly 420 includes a translation module 421 and a first support 422 and a second support 423 located at both ends of the translation module 421. The translation module 421 is used to adjust the distance between the first support 422 and the second support 423.

[0130] Multiple grippers 430 are spaced apart on both the first bracket 422 and the second bracket 423.

[0131] A suction cup 440 is provided on the first bracket 422 and / or the second bracket 423.

[0132] Specifically, the transfer mechanism 400 includes a robotic arm 410, the output end of which is connected to a handling component 420. The handling component 420 includes a translation module 421, with a first support 422 and a second support 423 respectively at both ends. The translation module 421 can be a linear module such as an electric telescopic rod or a cylinder to adjust the distance between the first support 422 and the second support 423, facilitating the clamping of PCB boards 10 of different lengths. Multiple grippers 430 are spaced apart on both the first support 422 and the second support 423 to clamp the PCB board 10, and on one of them... Multiple suction cups 440 are spaced apart. The cooperation between the gripper 430 and the suction cups 440 can not only prevent the board from falling and make the board gripping more stable, but also reduce air consumption. In this embodiment, the suction cups 440 are installed on the first bracket 422. The first bracket 422 corresponds to the side of the PCB board 10 away from the board receiving mechanism 200. When the PCB board 10 is positioned in the receiving slot, the side not supported by the mounting bracket 210 is suspended, which may cause it to be skewed or deformed. The direction of the PCB board 10 can be straightened by the suction cups 440 first, and then the gripper 430 can be used to clamp and pick up the board, and place the PCB board 10 on the conveying mechanism 300. The grippers 430 on the first bracket 422 and the second bracket 423 are controlled to open and close by a control valve. The grippers 430 include a rotary cylinder and a clamping plate. Taking the first bracket 422 as an example, the rotary cylinder is installed on the first bracket 422 and drives the clamping plate to rotate. The clamping plate cooperates with the first bracket 422 to clamp the PCB board 10. A telescopic rod is also provided between the rotary cylinder and the clamping plate to adjust the distance between the clamping plate and the first bracket 422. The clamping plate is L-shaped. The output end of the clamping plate rotates to face the first bracket 422, so that it can cooperate with the first bracket 422 to clamp the PCB board 10. When the output end of the clamping plate rotates to be parallel to the first bracket 422, the PCB board 10 is released.

[0133] Among them, the robot arm 410 is a commonly used robot arm 410, such as a four-axis or six-axis robot arm 410, which can perform multiple degrees of freedom of movement, and will not be described in detail here.
