The load block 22 is disposed in the accommodating space and placed above the substrate 9. Thereby, the load weight 22 can press the substrate 9 so that the substrate 9 can be held against the bottom surface in the accommodating space. The load block 22 is formed with a handle 220 that projects from the elongated slot 211. The width of the load block 22 may be equal to the width of the substrate 9 or equal to the width of the accommodating space, so that the load block 22 can move up and down along the accommodating space and press the substrate 9, and at the same time, the handle 220 can move up and down along the long groove 211.

The base portion 23 is fixed to the lower end of the accommodating portion 21 and is formed with at least one positioning recess 231 and a moving groove 232. When the feeding cassette 20 is disposed on the carrier 10 , at least one positioning protrusion 11 is received in the at least one positioning recess 231 . In the embodiment, the base portion 23 has two positioning recesses 231 , and specifically, each of the positioning recesses 231 is a through hole penetrating through the base portion 23 . Therefore, the two positioning protrusions 11 of the carrier 10 are respectively received in the two positioning recesses 231 of the base portion 23 to position the feed cassette 20 and prevent the displacement of the feed cassette 20 during the feeding process.

The moving groove 232 is formed on the upper side of the base portion 23 and communicates with the gap 213 of the front side of the feed cassette 20, and the width of the moving groove 232 is equal to the width of the substrate 9. Thereby, the substrate 9 can be moved in the moving groove 232 after being removed by the gap 213 of the accommodating portion 21.

Please refer to FIG. 1 and FIG. 5 next. The pushing mechanism 30 has a displacement assembly 31 and a pushing member 32.

In this embodiment, the pushing member 32 is a single piece, but not limited thereto, and the plurality of parallel spaced rods can be used to push the substrate 9 evenly. The shape of the opening 212 of the feed port 20 corresponds to the shape of the pusher 32.

When the pushing member 32 moves upward, the pushing member 32 moves into the opening 212 of the feeding bowl 20, passes through the inner space of the feeding cassette 20, and then protrudes from the gap 213 of the feeding cassette 20 to move the groove. Move within 232. Thereby, one of the substrates 9 accommodated in the feed cassette 20 is pushed out through the gap 213.

The pick-and-place mechanism 40 is configured to take and move one of the substrates 9 pushed out by the pushing mechanism 30. The pick and place mechanism 40 can have a moving component 41, a rotating component 42, and a pick and place assembly 43.

The pick-and-place assembly 43 is fixed to the moving assembly 41 and can be moved by the moving assembly 41, and specifically fixed to the rotating assembly 42 to be able to move the rotating assembly 42 together for three-dimensional movement. In other words, the pick-and-place assembly 43 is fixed to the moving assembly 41 through the rotating assembly 42.

The pick-and-place assembly 43 can take or release one of the substrates 9 pushed out by the push mechanism 30, for example, the substrate 9 can be vacuum-adsorbed. By the rotation of the assembly 42, the pick-and-place assembly 43 can be rotated, so that the substrate 9 can be rotated to the correct direction after the substrate 9 is taken.

Please refer to FIG. 6 to FIG. 9 next. Before the substrate 9 is supplied, a plurality of feed cassettes 20 may be prepared, and the substrate 9 is placed in the receiving portion 21 of the feed cassette 20, and the load weight block 22 is placed in the feed cassette 20 to be located on the substrate 9. Above. Next, one of the feed cassettes 20 is mounted on the carrier 10, and the positioning recess 231 of the base portion 23 of the feed cassette 20 is aligned with the positioning protrusion 11 of the carrier 10 so that the feed cassette 20 can be accurately aligned. .

Then, as shown in FIG. 6, the pushing mechanism 30 is activated to extend the pushing member 32 from the opening 212 of the feeding cassette 20 into the accommodating space, and the substrate 9 located at the bottom of the accommodating space is separated by the gap of the feeding cassette 20. 213 launched. After one of the substrates 9 in the accommodating space is pushed out by the pushing mechanism 30, the pushing member 32 of the pushing mechanism 30 further pushes one of the substrates 9 to move in the moving groove 232.

As shown in FIG. 7, when the substrate 9 is pushed by the pushing member 32 to the bottom end of the moving groove 232, the pick-and-place assembly 43 of the pick-and-place mechanism 40 is moved downward to take the substrate 9. As shown in FIG. 8 or FIG. 9, the moving assembly 41 of the pick-and-place mechanism 40 moves the pick-and-place assembly 43 upward and simultaneously moves horizontally, and the rotating assembly 42 of the pick-and-place mechanism 40 rotates the pick-and-place assembly 43 to a predetermined angle, and then The pick and place assembly 43 releases the substrate 9 to complete a supply.

When the pick-and-place mechanism 40 operates, the push mechanism 30 simultaneously pushes the other substrate 9 from the feed cassette 20 in order to increase the supply efficiency. On the other hand, when all of the substrates in the feed cassette 20 are supplied, the feed cassette 20 can be removed and replaced with another feed cassette 20 containing the substrate.

In summary, the present invention cooperates with the push mechanism 30 through the feed cassette 20 to automatically supply one substrate 9 at a time. Through the pick-and-place mechanism 40, the supplied substrate 9 can be moved to a position and rotated to a predetermined angle to be placed on the circuit board for subsequent welding and the like. Therefore, the present invention can automatically supply the substrate 9 and perform the loading, which is more efficient and accurate than the manual taking of the substrate 9.
