To use as. Then, by inserting the piston (136) of the rack position detecting air cylinder (134) into the through hole, it is confirmed that the set state of the rack is normal.

Although it is possible to confirm the set state of the rack with an optical sensor instead of the air cylinder (134), it is difficult to align the optical axis of the reflected light with the optical sensor. Further, in the magnetic sensor, there is concern about the influence on the printed circuit board and the reaction is unstable. The proximity switch has a problem in that it needs to be close to the rack, which makes it difficult to design.

If it is confirmed that the set condition of the printed circuit board rack (110) is normal, then the stepping motor (144) shown in FIG. 16 is driven. The stepping motor (144) rotates the roller (148) via the flexible coupling (146), and the rotation of the roller (148) is rotated by the timing belt (15).
It is transmitted to another roller (152) using 0). Laura (152)

2) has its tail end slidably supported. The horizontal shafts (160) and (160) penetrate the fixing plate (164) and project their ends toward the printed board rack (110). Then, the mounting plate (166) is fixed to each tip. On each mounting plate (166), a vacuum pad (168) and a positioning pin (170) are erected, respectively, and these are directed to the rack. On the other hand, the horizontal shafts (162) and (162) penetrate the moving plate (172) and project their ends toward the printed circuit board rack (110). Then, similarly, the mounting plate (174) is fixed to each tip. Also, each mounting plate
Similarly, a vacuum pad (176) and a positioning pin (178) are erected on (174), and both are directed to the rack.

Therefore, when the drive plate (158) moves forward, each of the horizontal shafts (160), (160), (162), (162) also moves forward. At this time, first, the sensor probe (180) provided on the mounting plate (166) of the lower horizontal shaft (160) comes into contact with the suction plate (70) of the printed circuit board rack (110).

The rack thus sent out is sent by the roller conveyor device (102) and hits the stop plate (226) shown in FIGS. 10 and 11 and stops. The reference numeral (228) in FIGS. 10 and 11 is a displacement cylinder similar to that shown by the reference numeral (116) in FIG. 10, and is a rack for a printed circuit board (a rack stopped by hitting the stop plate (226). 110) is pressed against the guide plate (108) to perform a positioning operation for entering the next process.

Effects As described above, in the printed circuit board rack according to the present invention, the flange is formed at one end of the support rod, the flange is hooked on one side edge of the frame, and the other slot is formed at the other end. Since the position of the movable side plate is fixed by tightening the rotating fastening member through the tightening of the rotating fastening member, only one tightening of the rotating fastening member is required when fixing the position of the movable side plate, and the engaging part is provided on the support rod. Since the engaging portion is formed and fitted into the elongated hole of the frame to stop the rotation of the supporting rod, workability in fixing the movable side plate can be remarkably improved also from this point. Since it is only necessary to tighten one of the rotary fastening members, it is possible to simplify the mechanism of the above-described automatic storage width adjusting machine that automatically adjusts the distance between both side plates.

In the rack for a printed circuit board according to the present invention, the support bar penetrates the movable side plate or the connecting member (for example, the top plate (66) and / or the bottom plate (68) in the above-described embodiments). Then, the support side bar supports the movable side plate. Then, the support rod is made movable along the long hole of the frame, and after the movement, the distance between both side plates is adjusted, and then the support rod is engaged with a rotary fastening member such as a bolt or a screw.
Fix the position of the movable side plate. When the rotary fastening member is tightened, its rotational force is not transmitted to the movable side plate, so that the movable side plate is normally attached without being deformed. As a result, unlike the conventional case, there is no fear that the printed circuit board will be difficult to take in or out, or the movable side plate will not move smoothly.
