Description

[0002] In the field of semiconductor chip processing and packaging, lead frames are thin plates in strip shape. In the process of semiconductor chip processing and packaging, a special conveying device is needed to convey the lead frames. The existing conveying device for conveying lead frames places the lead frames in a U-shaped groove, and the lead frames slide at the bottom of the groove to realize the conveying of the lead frames. However, in the conveying process, the entire lower surface of the lead frame is in contact with the bottom of the groove, and the lead frame slides relative to the bottom of the groove to generate sliding friction, which results in a large friction force of the lead frame conveying. In addition, in the process of sliding the lead frame in the groove, the lead frame is prone to tilting, that is, the extension direction of the lead frame is not consistent with the extension direction of the groove, but intersects with each other, which will result in a larger friction force of the lead frame conveying, and even cause the lead frame to be blocked.
