Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of FPC pallet technology, specifically a novel FPC pallet structure. Background Technology
[0002] With the increasing demands for miniaturization, lightweighting, and high performance in electronic devices, flexible printed circuit boards (FPCs) have been widely used in modern electronic equipment. Due to their flexibility, thinness, and bendability, FPCs are widely used in mobile phones, tablets, smart wearable devices, automotive electronics, medical devices, and other fields. In these applications, the fixing and installation of FPCs is a crucial step, especially during production and assembly. Effectively and quickly fixing FPCs, reducing assembly time, and ensuring fixing quality are important factors in improving product production efficiency and reliability.
[0003] However, existing FPC tray structures generally have some problems that make them inconvenient for quick fixing and efficient assembly. These problems include:
[0004] Traditional FPC pallet structures typically use screws and clips for fastening, which are time-consuming during assembly, especially in mass production, and cannot meet the demands for high efficiency. Furthermore, the operation of clips and screws is often complex, and errors are prone to occur during installation, impacting production efficiency.
[0005] Existing pallet structures typically require manual disassembly, which makes replacement, maintenance, or adjustment of the FPC inconvenient, time-consuming, and labor-intensive. Frequent disassembly and reinstallation may also damage the FPC, affecting its lifespan and functionality.
[0006] Therefore, based on the above-mentioned technical problems, it is necessary for those skilled in the art to develop a new type of FPC tray structure. Utility Model Content
[0007] The purpose of this invention is to provide a novel FPC tray structure to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.
[0008] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:
[0009] A novel FPC pallet structure includes a pallet body. The upper surface of the pallet body has at least one material trough for accommodating FPC. One side of the material trough has a pick-and-place slope. A retaining strip is provided along the edge of the upper surface of the pallet body. A rotatable pressure plate is provided above the material trough. One end of the pressure plate is connected to the pallet body via a knob. A rubber sheet is fixed to the bottom of the pressure plate. A supporting base pad is fixed to the bottom of the pallet body. A handle is fixed to the side of the pallet body.
[0010] As a preferred technical solution, the supporting base pad is made of rubber material with a thickness of 3-8cm.
[0011] As a preferred technical solution, the inclination angle of the pick-up and drop-off slope is 15°-45°.
[0012] As a preferred technical solution, the pressure plate is coaxially connected to the knob via a rotating shaft structure. Rotating the knob can drive the pressure plate to rotate, thereby opening and closing the material trough.
[0013] As a preferred technical solution, the rubber sheet covers more than 80% of the bottom surface area of the pressure plate, and its thickness is 1-3mm.
[0014] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:
[0015] This utility model discloses a novel FPC pallet structure. The designed ramp facilitates the quick placement and removal of FPCs from the material slot, improving assembly efficiency. The baffle effectively prevents the FPCs from sliding or falling off the pallet body, ensuring stability during assembly. The rotatable pressure plate, driven by a knob, allows for rapid opening and closing of the material slot, simplifying operation and significantly increasing assembly speed. The rubber sheet increases friction between the pressure plate and the FPC, effectively preventing slippage under the pressure plate, while its softness protects the FPCs from damage. The supporting base provides stable support for the pallet body and, made of rubber, offers shock absorption, further protecting the FPCs. The handle facilitates handling and moving the pallet, improving ease of use. This utility model offers advantages such as simple structure, convenient operation, high assembly efficiency, and good protection, effectively solving the problems existing in the prior art.

[0020] The features and exemplary embodiments of various aspects of this utility model will now be described in detail. To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, will provide a further detailed description. For those skilled in the art, this utility model can be implemented without some of these specific details. The following description of the embodiments is merely intended to provide a better understanding of this utility model by illustrating examples.
[0021] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, this utility model provides a novel FPC pallet structure technical solution: it includes a pallet body 1, which is the foundation of the entire pallet structure, and its upper surface is provided with at least one material slot 21 for accommodating FPCs. The dimensions of the material slot 21 are designed according to the specifications of the FPCs to ensure that the FPCs can be stably placed in them.
[0022] Secondly, such as Figure 2 As shown, a pick-up and put-out slope 22 is provided on one side of the material trough 21, and its tilt angle is preferably 15°-45°, so that the operator can easily put the FPC into or take out the material trough 21, thereby improving the assembly efficiency.
[0023] Next, as Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a baffle 13 is provided on the upper surface edge of the pallet body 1. Its function is to prevent the FPC from sliding or falling on the pallet body 1, thus ensuring stability during the assembly process.
[0024] In addition, such as Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, a rotatable pressure plate 23 is provided above the material trough 21. One end of the pressure plate 23 is connected to the tray body 1 via a knob 24. Rotating the knob 24 can drive the pressure plate 23 to rotate, thereby opening and closing the material trough 21. This design simplifies operation and greatly improves assembly speed.
[0025] like Figure 3As shown, a rubber sheet 25 is fixed to the bottom surface of the pressure plate 23, covering more than 80% of the bottom surface area of the pressure plate 23, with a thickness of 1-3mm. The rubber sheet 25 increases the friction between the pressure plate 23 and the FPC, effectively preventing the FPC from sliding under the pressure plate 23. At the same time, the softness of the rubber sheet 25 also protects the FPC from damage.
[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, a support pad 11 is fixed to the bottom of the pallet body 1, preferably made of rubber with a thickness of 3-8cm. The support pad 11 not only provides stable support for the pallet body 1, but also has a certain shock absorption effect, further protecting the FPC.
[0027] Finally, as Figure 1 As shown, a handle 12 is fixed to the side of the pallet body 1, which facilitates the handling and movement of the pallet and improves the ease of use.
[0028] In summary, the novel FPC tray structure of this utility model, through the implementation of the above technical solutions, achieves fast, efficient, and safe fixing and assembly of FPCs. It has the advantages of simple structure, convenient operation, high assembly efficiency, and good protection effect, and effectively solves the problems existing in the prior art.
