Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of storage and transfer technology, and in particular to an intermediate storage and transfer device for accommodating circuit board assemblies. Background Technology

[0002] Intermediate storage and circulation devices refer to various devices used in production, logistics, warehousing and other processes to temporarily store materials and assist in their efficient circulation. The core function of these devices is to coordinate the production or transportation rhythm of upstream and downstream links, avoid material accumulation or shortage, and improve the continuity and efficiency of the overall process.

[0003] Intermediate storage and circulation devices are widely used in manufacturing, logistics warehousing, food and medical industries to alleviate efficiency differences between upstream and downstream links, avoid material backlog or shortage, such as buffering between fast and slow processes on the production line, and also to optimize warehouse layout through equipment such as three-dimensional racks and hanging systems, reduce floor space occupation, and improve production or logistics efficiency.

[0004] Existing intermediate storage and transfer devices for placing circuit board assemblies do not provide good positioning based on the shape of the circuit board assemblies themselves, which makes the circuit board assemblies prone to shaking when placed in the transfer device; they also lack a stackable structure, resulting in low storage efficiency and a large space occupation. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of low storage efficiency, large space occupation, and easy shaking of circuit board assemblies when placed in the transfer device, and to propose an intermediate storage and transfer device for placing circuit board assemblies.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] An intermediate storage and transfer device for placing circuit board assemblies includes a transfer box having an internal space for accommodating the circuit board assemblies, an opening at the top of the transfer box, and at least one module board detachably disposed in the internal space of the transfer box, the module board having at least one cavity for accommodating the circuit board assemblies.

[0008] The bottom surface of the transfer box is provided with a stacking positioning structure. The edge of the top opening of the transfer box is provided with a first flange extending horizontally outward. The bottom of the transfer box is provided with a second flange corresponding to the first flange. The first flange is provided with at least one first through hole, and the second flange is provided with at least one second through hole. The positions of the first through hole and the second through hole are corresponding, so that when the two transfer boxes are stacked, fasteners can pass through the second through hole of the upper transfer box and the first through hole of the lower transfer box to fix them.

[0009] Furthermore, a positioning element is provided on the inner surface of the transfer box, and a positioning element that cooperates with the positioning element is provided on the module plate.

[0010] Furthermore, the positioning element is at least two positioning rods disposed on the inner bottom surface of the transfer box, and the positioned element is a groove adapted to the positioning rods.

[0011] Furthermore, the positioning rods are symmetrically distributed along the edge of the inner bottom surface of the transfer box.

[0012] Furthermore, the stacking positioning structure is at least one protrusion that engages with the top opening of the transfer box.

[0013] Furthermore, the fastener is a threaded rod, and the inner walls of both the first through hole and the second through hole are provided with internal threads that mesh with the threaded rod.

[0014] Furthermore, the module board is made of high-resilience foam.

[0015] Furthermore, the cross-section of the module plate is stepped.

[0016] Furthermore, part or all of the second layer of the stepped module plate protrudes upwards.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following significant advantages: (1) The present invention facilitates the placement of multiple circuit board assemblies by setting up a modular plate, and effectively limits the position of the circuit board assemblies by setting up multiple cavities in the modular plate, thereby improving the stability of the intermediate storage and transfer device and reducing the shaking caused by placing the circuit board assemblies in the transfer box. (2) The present invention achieves preliminary nesting positioning between the boxes by setting up a stacking positioning structure at the bottom of the transfer box, which engages with the top opening of the transfer box below, preventing horizontal slippage. By setting up the first through hole and the second through hole, it is convenient to fix the two sets of transfer boxes by threaded rods when stacking them, which improves the stability of stacking, reduces the phenomenon of stacked transfer boxes falling off during transportation, and thus improves the transportation efficiency. (3) The modular plate is detachable, and different layouts of the modular plate can be replaced for the same specification of transfer box to adapt to the storage needs of different types of circuit board assemblies, thereby improving the reusability and flexibility of the device.

[0025] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain this utility model and are not intended to limit this utility model.

[0026] like Figures 1-5 As shown, this utility model provides an intermediate storage and transfer device for placing circuit board assemblies, including a transfer box 1 and a module plate 4. The transfer box 1 has an internal space for accommodating the circuit board assemblies, and the top of the transfer box 1 is open. The module plate 4 is detachably disposed in the internal space of the transfer box 1. The module plate 4 is provided with at least one cavity 41 for accommodating the circuit board assemblies. The cavities 41 are arranged on the module plate 4 according to actual needs. In this embodiment, the cavities 41 are evenly distributed on the inner wall of the module plate 4. The module plate 4 facilitates the placement of multiple sets of circuit board assemblies, and the multiple cavities 41 in the module plate 4 can effectively limit the position of the circuit board assemblies, thereby improving the stability of the intermediate storage and transfer device and reducing the shaking caused by placing the circuit board assemblies in the transfer box 1.

[0027] The bottom surface of the transfer box 1 is provided with a stacking positioning structure. In this embodiment, the stacking positioning structure is a protrusion 11, which engages with the top opening of the transfer box 1. The protrusion 11 facilitates the stacking of multiple transfer boxes 1 together, effectively saving storage space, achieving high storage efficiency, and occupying little space.

[0028] The top opening of the transfer box 1 has a first flange extending horizontally outward, and the bottom of the transfer box 1 has a second flange corresponding to the first flange. The first flange has two first through holes 2, and the second flange has two second through holes 3. The positions of the first through holes 2 and the second through holes 3 are corresponding, allowing a threaded rod 5 to pass through the second through holes 3 of the upper transfer box 1 and the first through holes 2 of the lower transfer box 1 to secure them when the two transfer boxes 1 are stacked. The inner walls of both the first through holes 2 and the second through holes 3 are provided with internal threads that mesh with the threaded rod 5. The first through holes 2 and the second through holes 3 facilitate the securing of the two sets of transfer boxes 1 by the threaded rod 5 when stacked, improving the stability between the two sets of transfer boxes 1, reducing the occurrence of stacked transfer boxes 1 falling during handling, and thus improving handling efficiency.

[0029] The inner surface of the transfer box 1 is provided with a plurality of positioning rods 10, and the module plate 4 is provided with grooves 40 that cooperate with the positioning rods 10. The positioning rods 10 can be provided with an upward protrusion on the inner bottom surface of the transfer box 1, or they can be provided with a horizontal protrusion on the inner wall of the transfer box 1. In this embodiment, the upward protruding positioning rods 10 are symmetrically distributed along the edge of the inner bottom surface of the transfer box 1.

[0030] The module board 4 engages with the inner surface of the transfer box 1, and the module board 4 is made of high-resilience foam. The material of the module board 4 effectively protects multiple circuit board assemblies, improving the stability of the transfer box 1 during transportation. The module board 4 has a stepped cross-section, making it easier to store and retrieve the circuit board assemblies.

[0031] like Figure 5 As shown, a portion of the second layer of the stepped modular board 4 protrudes upwards to form a support portion 42, which serves to support other modular boards 4 when stacked on top of the modular board 4. In other embodiments, if greater support is required, the upward-protruding area of ​​the second layer of the stepped board can be increased, or even the entire area can protrude upwards. Multiple layers of modular boards 4 can be stacked inside the transfer box 1, further improving storage efficiency.

[0032] Multiple module boards 4 can be placed in the transfer box 1, and the positions of the multiple module boards 4 can be set as needed. The multiple module boards 4 can be integrally formed or formed independently. Different layouts of module boards 4 can be replaced for the same specification of transfer box 1 to meet the storage needs of different types of circuit board assemblies, thereby improving the reusability and flexibility of the device.

[0033] The workflow of this utility model is as follows:

[0034] Step 1: Place the module board 4 into the transfer box 1, ensuring that the groove 40 at its bottom is aligned and fitted with the positioning rod 10 inside the transfer box 1.

[0035] Step 2: Place the circuit board assemblies to be transferred one by one into the cavity 41 of the module board 4.

[0036] Step 3: If stacking is required, place another transfer box 1 with the circuit board assembly on top of the first transfer box 1, so that the bottom protrusion 11 falls into the top opening of the lower transfer box 1.

[0037] Step 4: Insert the threaded rod 5 into the alignment channel formed by the second through hole 3 of the upper transfer box 1 and the first through hole 2 of the lower transfer box 1, and rotate and tighten it until the two transfer boxes 1 are firmly locked.

[0038] Step 5: Stack more transfer boxes 1 as needed and move them.

[0039] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
