Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of PCB manufacturing technology, and in particular to a material receiving machine. Background Technology

[0002] In the rapid development of the electronics and information industry, PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards), as the key carriers for electrical connections of electronic components, are undergoing continuous evolution in their manufacturing processes towards higher precision, higher efficiency, and greater multifunctionality. As an important piece of equipment in the PCB production line, the material receiving machine is responsible for the orderly collection and sorting of finished PCBs. Its technological development has also progressed with the increasing demands of PCB manufacturing, evolving from early manual receiving to automated receiving, effectively improving the material flow efficiency on the production line.

[0003] Currently, most PCB receiving machines on the market have relatively simple functions, mainly performing basic receiving, stacking, and temporary storage of PCB boards, which can only meet the receiving needs of conventional PCB production processes. These receiving machines usually do not have additional processing or handling functions. When dealing with PCB boards with special curing process requirements, an additional curing machine is needed to complete the corresponding process.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of material receiving machine to solve the problem that the current material receiving machines have limited functions and cannot meet the curing requirements. Utility Model Content

[0005] The main purpose of this utility model is to propose a material receiving machine, which aims to solve the problem that the current material receiving machines have limited functions and cannot meet the curing requirements.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the material receiving machine proposed in this utility model includes a transmission track, a curing component, and a lifting component. The transmission track is used to transport the material. The curing component includes a curing section located above the transmission track. The curing section is used to cure the material located below the curing section. The lifting component is located at the end of the transmission track along the transmission direction and has multiple vertically movable pallets. The lifting component is used to drive the pallets to rise and fall so that the pallets align with the end of the transmission track along the transmission direction and receive the material.

[0007] In one embodiment, the receiving machine further includes a pushing assembly disposed below the conveying track; the pushing assembly includes a push rod structure and a first driving component, the first driving component being drively connected to the push rod structure; the pushing rod of the push rod structure extends upward above the conveying plane, the conveying plane being the plane containing the lower surface of the material placed on the conveying track; the pushing rod is used to abut against the material; the first driving component is used to drive the push rod structure to move along the conveying direction, so that the pushing rod drives the material to move along the conveying direction.

[0008] In one embodiment, the push rod structure includes a main body, a torsion spring, and a push rod. The main body is connected to a first driving component, and the push rod is rotatably connected to the main body via the torsion spring. The torsion spring is used to raise the first end of the push rod above the transmission plane.

[0009] In one embodiment, the pushing assembly further includes a support plate and an abutment. The support plate is connected to the transmission track. A first driving component is disposed on the support plate, and the abutment is disposed on one side of the support plate. The first driving component, the abutment, and the support plate are all lower than the transmission plane. The second end of the pushing rod extends out of the main body. The first driving component is also used to drive the pushing rod structure to move in the opposite direction of the transmission direction until the second end of the pushing rod abuts against the abutment. The abutment is used to abut against the second end of the pushing rod so that the first end of the pushing rod descends below the transmission plane.

[0010] In one embodiment, the transmission track includes a guide rail, a second driving component, a first conveyor belt, and a plurality of rollers. The plurality of rollers are rotatably connected to the guide rail and are spaced apart along the transmission direction. The first conveyor belt is sleeved on the plurality of rollers, and the second driving component is drively connected to at least one roller.

[0011] In one embodiment, the guide rail is further provided with a material-blocking cylinder and a material-waiting cylinder. The material-waiting cylinder and the material-blocking cylinder are arranged sequentially along the transmission direction. Both the material-blocking cylinder and the material-waiting cylinder are located within the vertical projection range of the curing section. The moving part of the material-blocking cylinder is used to extend above the transmission plane to block the material and keep the material within the vertical projection range of the curing section. The moving part of the material-waiting cylinder is used to extend above the transmission plane to block the material and keep the material outside the vertical projection range of the curing section.

[0012] In one embodiment, the lifting assembly includes a first support frame, a third drive component, a movable plate, and multiple pallets. The third drive component is disposed on the first support frame, and the multiple pallets are disposed vertically at intervals on the movable plate. The drive part of the third drive component is connected to the movable plate in a transmission manner. The drive part of the third drive component is used to drive the movable plate to rise and fall vertically, so that one of the pallets rises and falls to dock with the end of the transmission track along the transmission direction and receives the material.

[0013] In one embodiment, the drive portion of the first drive component is connected to the push rod structure via belt drive; and / or, the drive portion of the third drive component is connected to the moving plate via belt drive.

[0014] In one embodiment, the receiving machine further includes an outer shell and a support platform. The outer shell has a cavity inside, and the support platform, transmission track, curing component, lifting component, and pushing component are all disposed inside the cavity; the transmission track, curing component, and pushing component are all disposed on the support platform.

[0015] In one embodiment, the curing assembly includes a second support frame and a curing section, the curing section being connected to the second support frame, and the second support frame being placed on a support platform; and / or, the curing section is configured as a UV curing lamp; and / or, the first driving component is configured as a motor; and / or, the second driving component is configured as a motor; and / or, the third driving component is configured as a motor.

[0016] This invention significantly improves the functionality and production efficiency of the receiving machine by employing a curing component and a lifting component. Specifically, the curing section of the curing component is located above the conveyor track. When PCB boards and other materials are transported to the area below the curing section via the conveyor track, the curing section can directly cure the materials, achieving instant curing of the PCB boards on the conveyor path. This eliminates the need for an additional conveyor track to transport the PCB boards to a separate curing machine, saving space and installation costs associated with the conveyor track, and improving functional integration. Furthermore, the lifting component is located at the end of the conveyor track and has multiple liftable trays. When the cured materials reach the end of the conveyor track, the lifting component can drive the trays to rise and precisely align with the end of the conveyor track for stable material reception. When one tray is full or multiple batches of PCB boards need to be collected, the lifting component can drive multiple trays to rise and fall, allowing other empty trays to align with the end of the conveyor track and continue receiving subsequent materials.

[0017] This invention overcomes the technical shortcomings of existing receiving machines that are single-function and unable to meet the requirements of special curing processes by integrating curing functions with automated material receiving and stacking functions. It improves the integration and diversity of functions, and realizes integrated and efficient operation of transmission-curing-receiving / stacking. Furthermore, since there is no need to set up a separate curing machine, there is no need to lay out additional transmission tracks, thereby saving the space occupied by transmission tracks and the cost of laying them out, and reducing the material transfer time consumption and additional equipment management and maintenance costs.

[0034] In the rapid development of the electronics and information industry, PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards), as the key carriers for electrical connections of electronic components, are undergoing continuous evolution in their manufacturing processes towards higher precision, higher efficiency, and greater multifunctionality. As an important piece of equipment in the PCB production line, the material receiving machine is responsible for the orderly collection and sorting of finished PCBs. Its technological development has also progressed with the increasing demands of PCB manufacturing, evolving from early manual receiving to automated receiving, effectively improving the material flow efficiency on the production line.

[0035] Currently, most PCB receiving machines on the market have relatively simple functions, mainly performing basic receiving, stacking, and temporary storage of PCB boards, which can only meet the receiving needs of conventional PCB production processes. These receiving machines usually do not have additional processing or handling functions. When dealing with PCB boards with special curing process requirements, an additional curing machine is needed to complete the corresponding process.

[0036] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a new type of material receiving machine to solve the problem that the current material receiving machines have limited functions and cannot meet the curing requirements.

[0037] To solve the above problems, this utility model proposes a material receiving machine.

[0038] Please see Figure 1In one embodiment of this utility model, the receiving machine includes a transmission track 1, a curing component 2, and a lifting component 3. The transmission track 1 is used to transport the material. The curing component 2 includes a curing part 21, which is located above the transmission track 1. The curing part 21 is used to cure the material located below the curing part 21. The lifting component 3 is disposed at the end of the transmission track 1 along the transmission direction. The lifting component 3 is provided with a plurality of vertically movable pallets 31. The lifting component 3 is used to drive the pallets 31 to rise and fall so that the pallets 31 dock with the end of the transmission track 1 along the transmission direction and receive the material.

[0039] The technical solution of this utility model significantly improves the functional versatility and production efficiency of the receiving machine by employing a curing component 2 and a lifting component 3. Specifically, the curing section 21 of the curing component 2 is located above the conveyor track 1. When PCB boards and other materials are transported to the area below the curing section 21 via the conveyor track 1, the curing section 21 can directly cure the materials, achieving instant curing of the PCB boards on the conveying path. This eliminates the need for an additional conveyor track 1 to transport the PCB boards to a separate curing machine, thus saving space and layout costs associated with the conveyor track 1 and improving functional integration. Furthermore, the lifting component 3 is located at the end of the conveyor track 1 and has multiple liftable trays 31. When the cured materials reach the end of the conveyor track 1, the lifting component 3 can drive the trays 31 to rise and precisely dock with the end of the conveyor track 1, smoothly receiving the materials. When one tray 31 is full or multiple batches of PCB boards need to be collected, the lifting component 3 can drive multiple trays 31 to rise and fall, allowing other empty trays 31 to dock with the end of the conveyor track 1 and continue receiving subsequent materials.

[0040] This utility model overcomes the technical defects of existing receiving machines that are single in function and unable to meet the requirements of special curing processes by integrating curing function with automated material receiving and stacking function. It improves the functional integration and diversity, and realizes integrated and efficient operation of transmission-curing-receiving / stacking. Furthermore, since there is no need to set up a separate curing machine, there is no need to lay out an additional transmission track 1, thereby saving the space occupied by the transmission track 1 and the laying cost, and reducing the material transfer time consumption and additional equipment management and maintenance costs.

[0041] It should be noted that the transmission track 1 can adopt a guide rail, conveyor belt, or other transmission method, and is not limited here. The transmission track 1 is used to transport materials, and the corresponding materials can be selected according to the actual processing and transfer requirements. In this embodiment, the material is a PCB board, and the receiving machine is used to transfer, solidify, and collect the PCB board.

[0042] Furthermore, the curing assembly 2 includes a curing section 21, and may also include support members for supporting and fixing the curing section 21, such as brackets, support rods, etc. The support members may be set beside the conveyor track 1, on a support platform such as a workbench, or directly on the ground; no limitation is made here. The curing section 21 may employ curing devices such as light curing devices or heat curing devices. Among them, the light curing device may be a UV (Ultraviolet) curing lamp, and the heat curing device may be a hot air circulating oven, a heat curing furnace, etc., which will not be described in detail here.

[0043] The lifting assembly 3 can be implemented in various forms to lift the pallet 31. For example, the lifting assembly 3 has a ball screw structure, and the lifting assembly 3 is connected to multiple pallets 31 by ball screw transmission; or, the lifting assembly 3 has a drive device and a synchronous belt, and the drive device is connected to multiple pallets 31 through the synchronous belt, so as to realize the lifting of multiple pallets 31 through synchronous belt transmission. Of course, other implementation methods can also be used, which will not be described in detail here.

[0044] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In an embodiment of this utility model, the receiving machine further includes a pushing assembly 4, which is disposed below the transmission track 1. The pushing assembly 4 includes a push rod structure 41 and a first driving component 42, which is connected to the push rod structure 41 in a transmission manner. The pushing rod 411 of the push rod structure 41 extends upward to a height above the transmission plane, which is the plane containing the lower surface of the material placed on the transmission track 1. The pushing rod 411 is used to abut against the material. The first driving component 42 is used to drive the push rod structure 41 to move along the transmission direction, so that the pushing rod 411 drives the material to move along the transmission direction.

[0045] In this embodiment, by setting a pusher assembly 4 below the transmission track 1, the control accuracy and operational reliability of the receiving machine for material transmission are further improved. Specifically, the pusher assembly 4 includes a pusher structure 41 and a first drive component 42. The first drive component 42 is convexly connected to the pusher structure 41 and is used to drive the pusher structure 41 to move along the transmission direction. The pusher rod 411 of the pusher structure 41 extends upward above the transmission plane, so that the pusher rod 411 can abut against the rear end of the material from below, and push the material forward along the transmission track 1 under the drive of the first drive component 42. This design eliminates the complete reliance on the conveying track 1 (such as belts or rollers) for material transport. Instead, the pusher rod 411 provides an active and controllable pushing force, effectively preventing problems such as jamming, offset, or inaccurate positioning caused by large material mass, low surface friction coefficient, or sudden changes in transmission speed. Furthermore, it overcomes the lack of power support at the junctions of adjacent transmission components when using segmented transmission methods such as belts or rollers, which can lead to pauses, offsets, and jamming as the material passes through. This avoids transmission disruptions or inaccurate positioning caused by localized lack of power. In addition, since the pusher rod 411 is located below the conveying track 1, its compact structure does not occupy space above the track and does not affect the curing effect of the curing section 21 in the curing assembly 2, ensuring the continuity and uniformity of the curing process.

[0046] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In an embodiment of this utility model, the push rod structure 41 includes a main body 412, a torsion spring (not shown in the figure), and a push rod 411. The main body 412 is connected to the first driving component 42 in a transmission manner, and the push rod 411 is rotatably connected to the main body 412 through the torsion spring. The torsion spring is used to raise the first end of the push rod 411 to a height above the transmission plane.

[0047] In this embodiment, the push rod structure 41 adopts a linkage design of the main body 412, torsion spring, and push rod 411, thereby improving the reliability of the pushing action and the adaptability to the material. Specifically, the main body 412 is connected to the first drive component 42 for receiving driving force and moving along the transmission direction; the push rod 411 is rotatably connected to the main body 412 through the torsion spring. The torsion spring provides elastic restoring force, causing the first end of the push rod 411 to tilt upwards above the transmission plane in its natural state, thereby ensuring that it can effectively abut against the bottom of the material located on the transmission track 1 to achieve pushing. When the subsequent material moves to the push rod 411, it can press against the push rod 411 to make the first end of the push rod 411 rotate downwards, producing a clearance action. After the subsequent material passes, the elastic restoring force of the torsion spring causes the first end of the push rod 411 to tilt upwards again, thereby continuing to perform the pushing task. This structure ensures that the push rod 411 can stably and continuously contact and push the material, and can make way for the subsequent material to pass through, avoiding significant obstruction to the movement of the subsequent material; in addition, the push rod structure 41 also has the advantages of simple and compact structure and convenient maintenance.

[0048] The push rod 411 may have mounting holes on its outer periphery, and the main body 412 may also have corresponding mounting holes. One end of the torsion spring is set in the mounting hole of the main body 412, and the other end of the torsion spring is set in the mounting hole of the push rod 411, so that the push rod 411 is rotatably connected to the main body 412 through the torsion spring. The first end and the second end of the push rod 411 can extend out of the main body 412, so that the first end of the push rod 411 is raised above the transmission plane under the action of the torsion spring, so that the push rod 411 can abut against the PCB board and other materials.

[0049] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In an embodiment of this utility model, the pusher assembly 4 further includes a support plate 43 and an abutment member 44. The support plate 43 is connected to the transmission track 1. The first drive component 42 is disposed on the support plate 43, and the abutment member 44 is disposed on one side of the support plate 43. The first drive component 42, the abutment member 44, and the support plate 43 are all lower than the transmission plane. The second end of the pusher rod 411 extends out of the main body 412. The first drive component 42 is also used to drive the pusher structure 41 to move in the opposite direction along the transmission direction until the second end of the pusher rod 411 abuts against the abutment member 44. The abutment member 44 is used to abut against the second end of the pusher rod 411 so that the first end of the pusher rod 411 descends to be lower than the transmission plane.

[0050] In this embodiment, by setting up a support plate 43 and an abutment member 44 in coordination with the first driving component 42, reliable pressing and resetting control of the push rod 411 in the non-working state is achieved. This improves the accuracy of the push assembly 4's movement and avoids obstructing the subsequent material. Specifically, the support plate 43 is connected to the transmission track 1 and supports the first driving component 42. The abutment member 44 is positioned on one side of the support plate 43. The first driving component 42, the abutment member 44, and the support plate 43 are all disposed below the transmission plane, without occupying the space above, thus avoiding interference with the material transmission and curing process. Furthermore, the first driving component 42 not only drives the push rod structure 41 forward along the transmission direction to push the material, but also drives it to retreat in the opposite direction, causing the second end of the push rod 411 to abut against the abutment member 44 fixed on the side of the support plate 43. When the second end of the push rod 411 is blocked by the abutment member 44, the push rod 411 rotates around its rotational connection point with the main body 412, forcing the first end to rotate downwards below the transmission plane, thus completely detaching it from the material's movement path. This design ensures that the push rod 411 automatically descends and hides below the transmission plane at the end of the return stroke, effectively preventing accidental collisions or obstructions between the push rod 411 and the PCB board during subsequent material transmission. In addition, after the push rod 411 starts the next pushing action and is freed from the constraint of the abutment member 44, it can be automatically raised to the working height by the elastic restoring force of the torsion spring, realizing an automatic cycle of raising the push rod and lowering it to make way, ensuring the smoothness and stability of the transmission process.

[0051] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In an embodiment of this utility model, the transmission track 1 includes a guide rail 11, a second driving component 12, a first conveyor belt 13, and a plurality of rollers 14. The plurality of rollers 14 are rotatably connected to the guide rail 11. The plurality of rollers 14 are spaced apart along the transmission direction. The first conveyor belt 13 is sleeved on the plurality of rollers 14. The second driving component 12 is drively connected to at least one roller 14.

[0052] In this embodiment, the transmission track 1 adopts a combined structure of guide rail 11, second drive component 12, first conveyor belt 13, and multiple rollers 14, realizing stable and smooth continuous conveying of materials. Specifically, multiple rollers 14 are spaced apart along the transmission direction and rotatably connected to the guide rail 11. The first conveyor belt 13 is fitted onto these rollers 14, and the second drive component 12 drives at least one roller 14 to rotate, thereby driving the first conveyor belt 13 to circulate through friction, realizing the transmission of materials such as PCB boards. This structure utilizes the cooperation between the rollers 14 and the conveyor belt to ensure low frictional resistance and smooth operation during the transmission process. Furthermore, the support and positioning of the rollers 14 by the guide rail 11 improves the structural rigidity and motion accuracy of the entire transmission system, effectively avoiding problems such as conveyor belt deviation or roller jamming caused by uneven local force. Meanwhile, the spaced design of multiple rollers 14 provides excellent flexural support for the conveyor belt during operation, reducing sagging and vibration caused by heavy material loads or impacts, improving the stability of the material during transmission, and ensuring the positioning accuracy of subsequent curing and material collection processes. Furthermore, this conveyor belt structure, in conjunction with the pusher assembly 4 below, can provide auxiliary thrust even in areas of momentary power weakness at the junction of adjacent conveyor belts, further ensuring continuous and stable material movement and enhancing the reliability and adaptability of the transmission system.

[0053] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In this embodiment of the present invention, the guide rail 11 is further provided with a material-blocking cylinder 15 and a material-waiting cylinder 16. The material-waiting cylinder 16 and the material-blocking cylinder 15 are arranged sequentially along the transmission direction. Both the material-blocking cylinder 15 and the material-waiting cylinder 16 are located within the vertical projection range of the curing section 21. The moving part of the material-blocking cylinder 15 is used to extend above the transmission plane to block the material and keep the material within the vertical projection range of the curing section 21. The moving part of the material-waiting cylinder 16 is used to extend above the transmission plane to block the material and keep the material outside the vertical projection range of the curing section 21.

[0054] In this embodiment, by setting up a material-blocking cylinder 15 and a material-waiting cylinder 16 arranged sequentially along the conveying direction on the guide rail 11 and placing them within the vertical projection range of the curing section 21, precise control of the material curing timing and conveying cycle is achieved. Specifically, the material-waiting cylinder 16 is located upstream of the curing area, and its moving part can extend above the conveying plane. It can be used to block subsequent material from entering the curing area, keeping the material to be processed outside the vertical projection range of the curing section 21, thus avoiding interference with the material currently being cured. The material-blocking cylinder 15 is located downstream of the material-waiting cylinder 16 and within the vertical projection range of the curing section 21. Its moving part can also extend above the conveying plane. It can be used to precisely position and block the material when it reaches a designated position, ensuring that the material is completely within the effective working area of ​​the curing section 21. This ensures that curing energy such as ultraviolet light or hot air can fully act on the surface of the material, improving the curing quality and process stability. This dual-cylinder collaborative control scheme enables a separate operating mode where one cylinder waits for material while the other blocks it. This ensures orderly buffering of incoming material from upstream and precise positioning of the material entering the curing station, effectively preventing uneven curing, under-curing, or over-curing caused by material overtravel or positioning deviation. Furthermore, since both cylinders are integrated onto the guide rail 11 and located within the projection range of the curing section 21, the structure is compact, requiring no additional space and facilitating miniaturization. It also coordinates with other functional units such as the pushing assembly 4 and the lifting assembly 3, improving the overall automation level and the controllability of the production cycle.

[0055] The moving parts of the material-blocking cylinder 15 and the material-waiting cylinder 16 can be equipped with blocking components such as stops. When the moving parts of the material-blocking cylinder 15 and the material-waiting cylinder 16 move, the blocking components can be driven to move above the transmission plane, thereby blocking the material. The blocking components can be made of flexible materials, such as silicone or rubber, thus providing a certain degree of flexible buffering when blocking PCB boards and other materials, preventing direct rigid collisions that could damage the material.

[0056] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In an embodiment of this utility model, the lifting assembly 3 includes a first support frame 32, a third driving component 33, a moving plate 34, and multiple pallets 31. The third driving component 33 is disposed on the first support frame 32, and the multiple pallets 31 are disposed vertically at intervals on the moving plate 34. The driving part of the third driving component 33 is connected to the moving plate 34 in a transmission manner. The driving part of the third driving component 33 is used to drive the moving plate 34 to rise and fall vertically, so that one of the pallets 31 rises and falls to dock with the end of the transmission track 1 along the transmission direction and receives the material.

[0057] In this embodiment, the lifting assembly 3, through the integrated structural design of the first support frame 32, the third drive component 33, the moving plate 34, and multiple pallets 31, achieves the orderly reception and efficient stacking of solidified material. Specifically, multiple pallets 31 are fixed vertically at intervals on the moving plate 34. The third drive component 33 drives the moving plate 34 to perform precise vertical lifting and lowering movements on the first support frame 32 through the drive unit, thereby adjusting the height position of each pallet 31. When the material is transported to the end via the transmission track 1, the third drive component 33 can control the lifting and lowering of the moving plate 34, so that one of the empty pallets 31 is precisely raised to a position flush with the end of the transmission track 1, achieving docking and smooth reception of the material. After the pallet 31 has finished receiving the material, the moving plate 34 is driven to descend one station, so that the next empty pallet 31 is raised to the receiving position. This cycle is repeated to achieve layered stacking of multiple batches or continuous materials. This structure not only improves the material receiving capacity and operational continuity, avoiding production interruptions caused by stopping the machine to change trays when a single pallet 31 is fully loaded, but also simplifies the transmission structure through centralized drive, improving the synchronization and positioning accuracy of lifting actions.

[0058] The movable plate 34 can be configured as a plate, which can be made of metal to have strong structural strength, so that it can be firmly and reliably connected to the support plate 31.

[0059] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 In an embodiment of this utility model, the driving part of the first driving component 42 is connected to the push rod structure 41 by belt drive; and / or, the driving part of the third driving component 33 is connected to the moving plate 34 by belt drive.

[0060] In this embodiment, the drive unit of the first drive component 42 and the push rod structure 41, and / or the drive unit of the third drive component 33 and the moving plate 34 are connected by belt drive to achieve smooth transmission. Specifically, belt drive has advantages such as buffering and vibration absorption, smooth operation, and low noise. When applied between the first drive component 42 and the push rod structure 41, it can effectively alleviate the impact caused by start-stop or load changes during the pushing process, making the push rod 411 move more smoothly, reducing the vibration impact on precision materials such as PCB boards, and improving transmission and positioning accuracy. When applied between the third drive component 33 and the moving plate 34, it can ensure that the lifting assembly 3 can lift and lower smoothly while carrying multiple pallets 31 and materials, avoiding the impact of vibration during acceleration and deceleration on the neatness of material stacking. At the same time, belt drive has a simple structure and is easy to install and debug. Compared with gear rack or screw drive, it has lower manufacturing costs and maintenance requirements, and does not require frequent lubrication, making it suitable for the long-term continuous operation environment of the receiving machine. Furthermore, belt drives possess a certain degree of overload protection. In the event of sudden jamming, belt slippage can mitigate damage to the drive components and mechanical structure, thereby improving the system's safety and reliability. This transmission method balances the requirements of precise motion control with economic efficiency and practicality.

[0061] Specifically, the drive unit of the first drive component 42 and the push rod structure 41 can be connected by a synchronous belt to achieve belt drive, and the drive unit of the third drive component 33 and the moving plate 34 can also be connected by a synchronous belt to achieve belt drive.

[0062] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 In an embodiment of this utility model, the receiving machine further includes an outer shell 5 and a support platform 6. The outer shell 5 has a cavity inside, and the support platform 6, the transmission track 1, the curing component 2, the lifting component 3, and the pushing component 4 are all disposed in the cavity; the transmission track 1, the curing component 2, and the pushing component 4 are all disposed on the support platform 6.

[0063] In this embodiment, by setting up an outer shell 5 and a support platform 6, and integrating the support platform 6, the transmission track 1, the curing component 2, the lifting component 3, and the pushing component 4 into the cavity of the outer shell 5, and simultaneously mounting the transmission track 1, the curing component 2, and the pushing component 4 onto the support platform 6, the overall structural stability and environmental adaptability of the receiving machine are significantly improved. Specifically, the outer shell 5 can form a closed or semi-closed protective space, effectively preventing external dust, impurities, or operators from accidentally entering and interfering with or contaminating the internal moving parts. This is especially suitable for PCB production workshops with high cleanliness requirements, ensuring a clean environment for the curing process and the safety of equipment operation. The support platform 6, as an installation reference component, provides a stable bearing foundation for the transmission track 1, the curing component 2, and the pushing component 4, ensuring the relative positional accuracy between the functional components, reducing positioning deviations caused by frame deformation or vibration, and improving the coordination accuracy of transmission, curing, and pushing actions. At the same time, the centralized installation of multiple components on the support platform 6 and the overall placement within the cavity of the outer shell 5 facilitates modular assembly and debugging, improves equipment assembly efficiency and ease of later maintenance, and also makes the overall appearance of the machine neater and more aesthetically pleasing. This integrated layout approach ensures functional integrity while optimizing space utilization and enhancing the equipment's environmental adaptability and long-term operational reliability.

[0064] In one optional implementation, the outer casing 5 may also be equipped with a control panel, function buttons, and an alarm light. The control panel is electrically connected to the function buttons, the alarm light, the first drive component 42 of the pushing assembly 4, the second drive component 12 of the transmission track 1, the third drive component 33 of the lifting assembly 3, and the curing part 21 of the curing assembly 2. The function buttons trigger corresponding functions, enabling the receiving machine to perform tasks such as material transfer, pushing, curing, and receiving. In case of abnormal operating conditions, the alarm light will provide an alarm. The control panel can be a conventional programmable logic controller (PLC), and the corresponding operating program can be found in existing programs; details will not be elaborated here.

[0066] In this embodiment, by configuring the curing component 2 to include a curing section 21 connected to the second support frame 22, and by detachably placing the second support frame 22 on the support platform 6, modular installation and precise positioning of the curing component 2 are achieved, facilitating equipment assembly, debugging, and subsequent maintenance. Furthermore, the curing section 21 can be configured as a UV curing lamp, capable of emitting ultraviolet light of a specific wavelength to rapidly trigger the photochemical reaction of ink or adhesive layers on the PCB board surface, achieving an efficient, energy-saving, and environmentally friendly curing process. The UV curing lamp also boasts advantages such as fast response speed, long lifespan, and low heat output, which helps ensure the PCB board is not damaged by heat during the curing process, improving product yield. Additionally, the first drive component 42, the second drive component 12, and the third drive component 33 are respectively configured as a motor, a motor, and a motor. As a mature and reliable drive source, the motor offers advantages such as high control precision, rapid response, stable operation, and easy maintenance. It can precisely drive the push rod structure 41, the transmission track 1, and the lifting component 3 to perform pushing, transmission, and lifting actions of the pallet 31, ensuring coordinated and stable operation of each functional unit.
