[0037] Example 1

[0038] Please refer to Figure 1-4 This embodiment provides a resistor chip hopper, including a base plate 41. The base plate 41 is the foundation of the resistor chip hopper and needs to support the resistor chips 410 stored in the hopper. Side plates are provided on the sides of the base plate 41 and are perpendicular to the base plate 41, forming a hopper between the two side plates and the base plate 41. A partition plate 47 is vertically provided in the hopper, with both sides of the partition plate 47 close to the side plates, dividing the hopper into multiple resistor chip placement compartments 49. Meanwhile, the base plate 41 has a first window 4101 that corresponds one-to-one with the resistor plate placement chamber 49. The size of the first window 4101 should be smaller than the cross-section of the resistor plate placement chamber 49 so that the base plate 41 inside the resistor plate placement chamber 49 can support the resistor plate 410. The two sides of the first end of the partition plate 47 form a second window 45. The first window 4101 allows the rod to pass through and push the resistor plate 410 inside the resistor plate placement chamber 49 upward to the second window 45. Then, the resistor plate 410 can be picked up through the second window 45 at the top to realize material retrieval.

[0039] like Figure 1 , 2 In one embodiment shown, multiple partitions 47 are evenly spaced within the hopper. Specifically, the multiple partitions 47 are arranged equidistantly along the length of the hopper, dividing it into multiple independent resistor placement compartments 49. This ensures that the resistors 410 within the compartments 49 do not shift during vibration. The spacing can be set according to the specifications of the resistors 410. Preferably, the partitions 47 are thicker than the side plates, resulting in a large gap between adjacent resistor placement compartments 49, effectively preventing electrostatic adsorption that could cause the resistors 410 to stick. The thickness or position of the partitions 47 can be adjusted to change the size of the resistor placement compartments 49, adapting to resistors 410 of other specifications. By replacing partitions 47 with different spacing, the hopper can be converted to store resistors 410 of other specifications, resulting in high conversion efficiency.

[0040] like Figure 2 In one embodiment shown, the side panel is detachably connected to the base plate 41 and the partition 47, which can achieve quick disassembly or quick opening, and greatly reduce the time required for cleaning or replacing parts.

[0041] like Figure 2 , 4In one embodiment shown, the side plates include: a first side plate 42 and a second side plate 48; the first side plate 42 is disposed on the first side of the base plate 41, the top of the first side plate 42 is detachably connected, and the bottom of the first side plate 42 is hinged to the base plate 41; the second side plate 48 is disposed on the second side of the base plate 41, the top of the second side plate 48 is detachably connected, and the bottom of the second side plate 48 is hinged to the base plate 41. The top of the first side plate 42 is preferably magnetically fixed to the first side of the base plate 41, and the top of the second side plate 48 is preferably magnetically fixed to the second side of the base plate 41, allowing for quick opening of the first side plate 42 and the second side plate 48. Specifically, magnets can be installed at appropriate locations in the resistor chip hopper to magnetically attract the first side plate 42 and the second side plate 48 to the partition 47, ensuring a firm and stable magnetic attraction. The cross-section of the partition 47 in the thickness direction can be accurately positioned with the first side plate 42 and the second side plate 48 during magnetic attraction via positioning pins 44 and positioning holes.

[0042] like Figure 2 , 3 In one embodiment shown, the end of the first window 4101 facing the first side plate 42 is set as an open opening, and the shape of the first window 4101 is set as U-shaped. When the first side plate 42 is installed on the base plate 41, the surface of the first side plate 42 blocks the open opening.

[0043] like Figure 2 In one embodiment shown, the partition 47 adopts a necked design, wherein a slot is formed on the side of the partition 47 near the first side plate 42, creating a large and a small end on the partition 47, which forms the third window 4701. In this case, the first end of the partition 47 is designated as the small end, and the second end as the large end; it is known that the width of the first end is smaller than the width of the second end, and the large and small ends are transitioned by a bevel. Since slots are formed at the same position on the same side of each partition 47, the alignment of multiple slots forms the third window 4701. Through the third window 4701, the situation inside the resistor placement chamber 49 can be observed, or operations can be performed on the resistors 410 inside the resistor placement chamber 49. Simultaneously, the presence of the third window 4701 also reduces the frictional resistance between the resistors 410 and the partition 47 when they are placed or removed.

[0044] like Figure 1 , 3 In one embodiment shown, both the first side plate 42 and the second side plate 48 have fourth windows 4202 corresponding to each resistor placement space 49, and the fourth windows 4202 extend along the height direction of the resistor placement space 49. The fourth window 4202 can be elongated, and preferably is an oblong hole. Each resistor placement space 49 is provided with a fourth window 4202, which can be used for visual inspection by operators or positioning by mechanical grippers.

[0045] like Figure 1 , 2 In one embodiment shown, a connecting plate 43 is provided on the first side plate 42. The connecting plate 43 is perpendicular to the first side plate 42 and parallel to the length direction of the base plate 41; the connecting plate 43 is located above the fourth window 4202. The connecting plate 43 can be used to connect other components or install devices.

[0046] like Figure 1 , 2 In one embodiment shown, a bracket 46 is provided on the second side plate 48. The bracket 46 is perpendicular to the second side plate 48 and parallel to the length direction of the base plate 41. The bracket 46 is located above the fourth window 4202, and the bracket 46 has a groove. As an example, the width of the bracket 46 is smaller than the width of the connecting plate 43. The bracket 46 can be used to install devices, and the groove assists in the installation.

[0047] like Figure 1 , 2 In one embodiment shown, the first side plate 42 and the second side plate 48 have notches 4201 that correspond one-to-one with each of the fourth windows 4202. The notches 4201 are connected to the second windows 45 to form a channel with a relatively wide opening, providing sufficient operating space for material handling or other operations.

[0048] The resistor sheet hopper of this invention features a partition 47 that divides the hopper into independent resistor sheet placement compartments 49, ensuring that the resistor sheets 410 do not shift during vibration and preventing mixing. The first window 4101 and the second window 45 are independent, effectively preventing electrostatic adsorption of the resistor sheets 410; the first window 4101 and the second window 45 cooperate to facilitate the placement and removal of the resistor sheets 410. This structural design allows for effective management of the resistor sheets 410, preventing confusion.

[0049] Furthermore, the resistor sheet hopper is equipped with a first window 4101, a second window 45, a third window 4701, and a fourth window 4202 that communicate with the resistor sheet placement chamber 49. Each resistor sheet placement chamber 49 is also equipped with all of the above windows, which can cooperate to achieve precise positioning of the resistor sheet 410 or precise positioning of the resistor sheet 410 during equipment operation. The detachable side panels, especially the magnetic attraction method, make disassembly and assembly convenient. Combined with the engagement method of the partition 47, the resistor sheet placement chamber 49 can be transformed to accommodate other specifications of resistor sheets 410 by replacing other types of side panels and partitions 47, achieving good compatibility and efficient transformation.

[0050] Example 2

[0051] This embodiment provides a resistor sheet picking device, including: a resistor sheet picking unit and a resistor sheet hopper as described in Embodiment 1 above; the resistor sheet picking unit uses a suction cup to pick up resistor sheets from the resistor sheet hopper. Specifically, the resistor sheet picking unit includes a linear module and a suction cup connected to the linear module. The linear module drives the suction cup to pick up resistor sheets from the resistor sheet placement chamber, generally from the top of the resistor sheet hopper; then, the linear module drives the suction cup to move the resistor sheet and transfer it to a preset position. The resistor sheet placement chambers are pre-stored with resistor sheets, and the resistor sheets in each placement chamber are stacked sequentially along the height direction of the placement chamber to form a stack of materials.

[0052] The resistor sheet material handling device of this invention has the same beneficial effects as the resistor sheet material hopper described above, and will not be repeated here.
