Referring to fig. 1, in the present embodiment, the board dispensing apparatus 200 further includes a board matching robot 210, the board matching robot 210 is disposed on the front side of the base, a bin 211 for storing or collecting PCB boards is disposed on the board matching robot 210, and the board matching robot 210 is configured to dispense the PCB boards to be processed to the processing table 100, and to receive the PCB boards processed by the processing table 100.
In the process of operation, when the board is sent (taken out), the board matching robot 210 moves to the position corresponding to the first conveying component 260 at the front side of the base 222, after the first conveying component 260 receives a board taking instruction sent by the board matching robot 210, the telescopic piece 2712 drives the clamping block 2713 to move downwards from the retracted position to the open position, and then the board matching robot 210 pushes the PCB board to be processed in the material box 211 between the clamping block body 27132 and the fixed seat 2711. When receiving (material receiving), the board matching robot 210 moves to the position corresponding to the second conveying assembly 270 at the front side of the base 222, and receives the processed PCB boards below the material taking position on the second buffer stage 2222 into the bin 211.
It may be appreciated that the first buffer stage 2221 and the second buffer stage 2222 are each provided with a plurality of buffer positions along the length direction of the base 221, and the number of the board allocation robots 210 may be one or more, and preferably, the number of the board allocation robots 210 is one based on cost consideration, and the board allocation robots 210 are used for sequentially distributing PCB boards to be processed to each buffer position of the first buffer stage 2221 or for sequentially receiving PCB boards processed by the processing stage 100 from each buffer position of the second buffer stage 2222. That is, during the operation, the board matching robot 210 sequentially distributes the PCB boards to each of the buffer locations of the first buffer station 2221 along the X-axis direction, and during the board collection (material collection), the board matching robot 210 sequentially receives the PCB boards from each of the buffer locations of the second buffer station 2222 along the X-axis direction.
The foregoing description of the preferred embodiments of the utility model is not intended to be limiting, but rather is intended to cover all modifications, equivalents, alternatives, and improvements that fall within the spirit and scope of the utility model.
