The utility model belongs to the technical field of electronic processing, and particularly relates to a temporary placement mechanism of a feeder and a chip mounter with the temporary placement mechanism.

Background

SMT is a surface mount technology, one of the most popular techniques and technologies in the current electronics assembly industry. SMT patches refer to short for serial process flows that are processed on a PCB basis. Chip mounter: also called a "mounter" or a "surface mounting system", in a production line, it is an apparatus for accurately placing a surface mounted component on a PCB pad by moving a mounting head after a dispenser or a screen printer.

In the working process of the chip mounter, to mount the refined components onto the PCB circuit board, an auxiliary tool for precisely and continuously providing the electronic components, namely a feeder, a feeder or a feeder in the industry, is required to send the components to a fixed position, and then the components are mounted on the specified position of the PCB circuit board by moving a suction nozzle of the chip mounter. The flyers are not fixed with the chip mounter because the feeder required by the components of different specifications and types is different, and the proper feeder (flyers) is required to be prepared according to the specifications and types of the components and installed correctly during production. The existing chip mounter is not provided with temporary placement points of the flyers or the feeders on the periphery, the temporary placement points are required to be placed in other places far away from the chip mounter in the industry, when components with different specifications and types are used in the mounting process, operators need to take and install the required flyers far away from equipment each time, and the flyers which are required to be replaced and detached are placed in places far away from the chip mounter again, so that more time is wasted due to back and forth operation, and the production efficiency is low. Therefore, the utility model is based on the technical problem of temporary placement of the flyer.

According to some preferred embodiments of the present utility model, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, for the docking structure 14, the present utility model provides two forms of docking structure 14 to facilitate the use of different feeders 20. The mating structure 14 includes a first mating structure 141 and a second mating structure 142 that are disposed side by side in a direction perpendicular to the mating direction, i.e., the front-to-rear direction as shown in fig. 2, and are structurally different. The first plug structure 141 and the second plug structure 142 each extend in the plug direction, i.e., the left-right direction as shown in fig. 2. More specifically, as shown in fig. 2, for convenience of description, a surface of the support member 13 on which the plugging structure 14 is disposed is made to be a support mounting surface. The first plugging structure 141 is a slot formed on the support mounting surface, recessed inwards and extending along the plugging direction, and the slot is implemented as a U-shaped slot 1410 with an opening front end in the plugging direction and a closed rear end in the plugging direction. It should be noted that, the U-shaped slot 1410 may be directly formed on the supporting member 13, or alternatively, a strip-shaped slot (not labeled) extending to two ends of the supporting member 13 along the plugging direction may be provided on the supporting mounting surface of the supporting member 13, then a plate (not labeled) is mounted above the strip-shaped slot by a screw or the like, and a U-shaped slot (not labeled) corresponding to the strip-shaped slot is formed on the plate, and the U-shaped slot and the strip-shaped slot define the U-shaped slot 1410. Further, in order to facilitate the plugging connection between the feeder 20 and the U-shaped slot 1410, a first guiding structure 1411 is disposed at an opening of a front end of the U-shaped slot 1410 along the plugging direction, more specifically, the first guiding structure 1411 is an arc-shaped guiding cambered surface formed at the opening of the U-shaped slot 1410, and in an alternative embodiment, the first guiding structure 1411 is a first guiding inclined surface gradually approaching from the front end to the rear end of the opening of the U-shaped slot 1410.
