Description

[Detailed description of the invention] This invention allows electronic components to be inserted into a printed circuit board using an insert machine, and the printed circuit board that is automatically fed after mounting is completed can be placed in a free pitch without the need for fitting positioning with a storage case. It can be easily stored in a storage case.

Conventionally, a rack having grooves wide enough to insert a plurality of boards at equal intervals was provided on the inner surface of the storage case, and the printed circuit board with components mounted on it by an insert machine was fed by a loader into the grooves. However, during the insertion process, due to factors such as deformation of the storage case, warping of the board, and misalignment between the loader and the storage case, the loader was not automatically inserted into the storage case, and the loader was not automatically inserted into the storage case. There were drawbacks such as the line stopping or the board biting into the groove and breaking the board.

The present invention solves such drawbacks by a simple means. In other words, in automatic storage of printed circuit boards with electronic components inserted and mounted using an insert machine, the inner surface of the storage case in which the printed circuit boards are stored. It is characterized by having artificial turf installed on it.

The details will be explained below with reference to the drawings.

FIGS. 1 and 2 show a conventional example, with FIG. 1 being a front view of the main parts of the storage case, and FIG. 2 being a perspective view showing a state in which the loader is inserted into the storage case.

FIG. 3 is a front view of main parts of a storage case showing an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a state in which the storage case is inserted into the storage case of FIG.

In Figures 1 and 2, 1 is a storage case, 2 is a rack having a plurality of grooves 3, 4 is a printed circuit board on which electronic components 5 are mounted, and 6 is linked to an insert machine (not shown). Shows the loader.

As is well known, this device inserts and mounts specified electronic components 5 on a printed circuit board 4 using an insert machine (not shown), and then moves on a loader 6 while being pushed by the next printed circuit board, and then inserts it into a storage case 1.
The storage case 1 is inserted between the grooves 3 and 3' of the rack 2 having a plurality of grooves 3 provided therein. It moves up and down by l, and is configured so that the loader surface and the concave groove surface match.

However, if the storage case 1 is deformed and the grooves 3 and 3' are no longer on the same plane, or the printed circuit board 4 is warped, or the position of the storage case 1 and the loader 6 is misaligned, the printed circuit board 4 may become recessed. Instead of being inserted between the grooves 3 and 3', they were forced diagonally and got stuck in the rack 2, damaging the printed circuit board 4 and causing serious problems such as stopping the automatic line.

3 and 4 show an embodiment of the present invention, in which reference numeral 7 indicates artificial turf, and the rest is the same as in FIGS. 1 and 2.

By attaching the artificial grass 7 to the inner surface of the case 1, the printed circuit board 4 can be easily stored by utilizing the elasticity and flexibility of the artificial grass 7. That is, the artificial grass 7 is attached to both inner surfaces of the storage case 1 by pasting or the like. After mounting the electronic components 5 on the printed circuit board 4, the loader 6 feeds the printed circuit board 4, even if the previous storage case 1 is deformed.
Even if the printed circuit board 4 is warped, the flexibility of the artificial grass 7 allows the printed circuit board 4 to be inserted and stored even at an angle.

As detailed above, by simply using artificial turf, the printed circuit board can be reliably inserted into the storage case even if the storage case is deformed, the printed circuit board is warped, the loader and the storage case are misaligned, etc., and the automatic line The effect is great in practical use without stopping the process.
