[0002] The currently publicly known options for supplying electronic components to a placement machine mostly include belt conveyors, magazines, bar magazines, trays, and / or special conveyors. These are usually designed to supply a specific type of electronic component and / or a specific electronic component. Mounting plates for holding and supplying various electronic components are particularly well-known for small-batch and / or prototype assembly. These mounting plates are usually custom-manufactured and therefore require considerable time and / or expense, as well as usually have no and / or limited reuse options.

[0003] Devices and methods of this type are known from the documents DE 195 11 365 A1 and US 2007 / 0 266 556 A1.

[0004] It is therefore an object of the present invention to eliminate or at least partially eliminate the disadvantages of the prior art described above. In particular, it is an object of the invention to provide a receiving system with a receiving plate for providing electronic components to a placement machine, with which the provision, in particular of various electronic components, to a placement machine is made particularly easy. In particular, it is further an object of the invention to provide a use of a receiving plate, a use of the receiving system, and a provision method for providing electronic components to a placement machine by means of a receiving plate of the receiving system.

[0006] According to a first aspect of the invention, the object is achieved by a receiving system for providing electronic components to a placement machine, the receiving system comprising a receiving plate and at least two carrier plates for electronic components, the receiving plate comprising at least two support devices for vertically supporting at least one carrier plate for electronic components in a predetermined horizontal position on a support plane, at least one limiting device per support device for horizontally limiting the respective carrier plate in the predetermined horizontal position, wherein each support device together with the respective at least one limiting device forms a carrier plate receiving volume for receiving at least one carrier plate in the predetermined horizontal position on the support plane,wherein the receiving plate has, for each carrier plate receiving volume, a pin receiving volume adjacent to the respective carrier plate receiving volume and the support plane for at least partially receiving pins of the electronic components inserted through the carrier plate, and wherein the receiving plate comprises, for each carrier plate receiving volume, at least one fastening device for fastening the respective carrier plate in the respective carrier plate receiving volume.

[0007] The basic core idea of ​​the mounting plate is to enable the accommodation of various carrier plates. The carrier plates are designed to provide electronic components. By accommodating carrier plates, the mounting plate can be used and reused for at least two carrier plates, preferably with different electronic components. The carrier plates used for this purpose are preferably designed modularly. For example, the carrier plates have the same external dimensions and / or the extensions are designed as modular multiples of one another, in particular in two spatial axes. The carrier plates are designed, for example, as printed circuit boards and / or plastic plates for accommodating electronic components. The carrier plates are preferably designed as printed circuit boards in a standard size, for example an industry-standard size of 44 mm x 94 mm.The carrier plates are preferably designed to accommodate only three to ten electronic components, in particular a large number of electronic components. The carrier plates preferably have a layout and / or holes for electronic components of different sizes and / or designs.

[0008] The design of the receiving plate and the carrier plates advantageously simplifies the programming of the placement machines and / or the production devices for the carrier plates, since equal and / or uniform distances are preferably used.

[0009] The accommodation and provision of the electronic components by the carrier plates is preferably to be understood as an insertion and / or at least partial insertion of the electronic components into and / or through a carrier plate. Such carrier plates are simple, cost-effective and / or time-consuming to manufacture. The accommodation plate according to the invention, thanks to the at least two carrier plate accommodation volumes, enables the accommodation of different carrier plates and thus the provision of different electronic components using simple and cost-effective means. In the context of the invention, the at least two carrier plate accommodation volumes are preferably to be understood as positioning devices for the carrier plates. The at least two carrier plate accommodation volumes are formed by the at least two support devices and the at least two limiting devices.The carrier plate receiving volumes preferably allow the carrier plates to be arranged on and / or in a defined and / or repeatable manner on the receiving plate. The at least two carrier plate receiving volumes each preferably have an extension that corresponds to an extension of at least one carrier plate or substantially at least one carrier plate. Within the scope of the invention, the wording "X or substantially X" is to be understood as a possible, minor deviation, for example, due to manufacturing tolerances, material and / or process properties, without altering the underlying, intended function of the feature.

[0010] The at least two support devices are designed to vertically support at least one carrier plate for electronic components in a predetermined horizontal position on a support plane. The at least one limiting device per support device is designed to horizontally limit the respective carrier plate in the predetermined horizontal position. The at least two support devices and the at least two limiting devices form the at least two carrier plate receiving volumes. Preferably, a carrier plate receiving volume is formed by exactly one limiting device and exactly one support device. The support plane preferably lies against, on, and / or in the receiving plate.

[0011] Within the scope of the invention, a horizontal position of the receiving plate and the carrier plates is assumed during use and the arrangement details and the relative relationships of the devices to one another are preferably to be understood accordingly.

In one simple possible embodiment, the fastening devices are designed as a screw connection, for example, wherein a screw device is screwed into the receiving plate and the screw head projects into at least one carrier plate receiving volume and / or over at least one carrier plate and fastens it. Illustratively speaking, the at least one fastening device is preferably designed to fasten at least one carrier plate to the receiving plate. The fastening device preferably comprises screw devices, pivoting devices, plug-in and / or clip connections.

[0013] The mounting plate is particularly advantageous because a pin mounting volume is adjacent to each carrier plate mounting volume, at least in sections. The respective pin mounting volume is adjacent to the corresponding carrier plate mounting volume and the support plane below. The adjoining of the pin mounting volume below the respective carrier plate mounting volume is to be understood as the arrangement of the pin mounting volume on a side of the carrier plate mounting volume facing the underside of the mounting plate. The at least two pin mounting volumes serve to at least partially accommodate the pins of the electronic components. The electronic components usually have pins protruding from the electronic component, for example in the form of contacts.For receiving and / or arranging the electronic components, these contacts are preferably inserted through the carrier plate, so that the contacts protrude from the underside of the carrier plate. For optimal placement of the carrier plate in the receiving plate, the pin-receiving volumes thus provide space for the pins of the electronic components.

[0014] The receiving plate is preferably plate-shaped, in particular cuboid-shaped. The carrier plates can preferably be arranged parallel to a main extension plane of the receiving plate in the carrier plate receiving volume. The main extension plane of the receiving plate is preferably understood as the two-dimensional plane of the greatest extension of the receiving plate. The carrier plates can preferably be inserted along an insertion axis on and / or into the carrier plate receiving volume, in particular wherein the insertion axis is arranged orthogonal to the main extension plane of the receiving plate.

[0015] The mounting plate is preferably designed for insertion into and / or onto an industry-standard carrier device for feeding to a placement machine. The mounting plate is preferably fed to a placement machine by the carrier device and serves the placement machine as a multiple-surface magazine for the simple and cost-effective feeding of different electronic components in small quantities. The electronic components can advantageously be removed and / or picked up from the carrier device and the mounting plate by the placement machine. Due to the design and the interchangeable carrier plates, the mounting plate is advantageously reusable with the same or other carrier plates. Thus, the mounting plate according to the invention enables advantageous component provision, for example, for small series, product improvements, or sample board assembly.The mounting plate's structural design, particularly the pin mounting volume, ensures that the components are fed to the placement machine in a way that is safe from tilting and in a secure position.
