Abstract

A deposit device is configured to temporarily store a carrier tape with through holes on the carrier tape platform. The carrier tape platform is used to pull the carrier tape to external equipment for processing. The deposit device includes a storage bin and a deposit assembly. The storage bin is configured to temporarily store the carrier tape and has an opening. The storage bin is configured to be mounted on the carrier tape platform to make the opening to correspond to the carrier tape. The deposit assembly includes a deposit driver and a deposit member. The deposit member with a plurality of teeth is located in the storage bin. The deposit driver is configured to drive the deposit member to rotate to cause one of the plurality of teeth to be located in one of the through holes, thereby driving the carrier tape to move into the storage bin.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A deposit device for temporarily storing at least one carrier tape with through holes from a carrier tape platform for pulling the at least one carrier tape to external equipment for processing, comprising:
a storage bin configured to temporarily store the at least one carrier tape and be mounted on the carrier tape platform, an opening arranged on the storage bin, the at least one carrier tape is located in the opening when the storage bin is mounted on the carrier tape platform; and a deposit assembly comprising a deposit driver and a deposit member connected to the deposit driver, wherein the deposit member is located in the storage bin, a circumferential direction of the deposit member is provided with a plurality of teeth, the deposit driver is configured to drive the deposit member to rotate to cause one of the plurality of teeth to be located in one of the through holes, thereby driving the at least one carrier tape to move into the storage bin.

2 . The deposit device of claim 1 , wherein the storage bin comprises a first portion and a second portion, the opening is disposed corresponding to the first portion, the first portion and the second portion are arranged side by side in the horizontal direction, the deposit member is configured to drive the at least one carrier tape to pass through the first portion and be temporarily stored in the second portion.

3 . The deposit device of claim 1 , wherein the deposit device further comprises a moving assembly, the moving assembly comprises a first mounting plate, a second mounting plate, and a moving driver, the first mounting plate is connected to an outer surface of the storage bin and the first mounting plate is elastically connected to the second mounting plate, the moving driver is connected to the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate, the moving driver is configured to drive the first mounting plate to move relative to the second mounting plate and drive the storage bin to move.

4 . The deposit device of claim 1 , wherein the deposit assembly further comprises a deposit moving mechanism, the deposit moving mechanism comprises a deposit moving driver, a mounting block, and a rotational frame, the deposit moving driver is arranged on an outer surface of the storage bin, the deposit moving driver is connected to the mounting block and the deposit driver, the mounting block is connected to the rotational frame, the deposit member is rotatably connected to the rotational frame, the deposit moving driver is configured to drive the mounting block and the rotational frame to move and drive the deposit member to be close to or far away from the at least one carrier tape.

5 . The deposit device of claim 1 , wherein the deposit device further comprises a belt pressing assembly, the belt pressing assembly comprises a belt pressing driver, a mounting block, a first connecting rod, and a second connecting rod, the belt pressing driver is arranged on an outer surface of the storage bin, the belt pressing driver is connected to the mounting block, the mounting block is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod, the second connecting rod is rotatably connected to the first connecting rod and the storage bin, a stopper is installed on the first connecting rod and is configured to limit a position of the at least one carrier tape, the belt pressing driver is configured to drive the mounting block to move and the mounting block is configured to drive the first connecting rod to rotate, thereby driving the stopper to be close to or far away from the at least one carrier tape.

6 . The deposit device of claim 5 , wherein a pressing wheel is mounted on the mounting block, the belt pressing driver is also configured to drive the pressing wheel to press the at least one carrier tape.

7 . The deposit device of claim 5 , wherein the belt pressing assembly further comprises a connecting block and a guiding block, the guiding block is arranged on the outer surface of the storage bin, the connecting block passes through the guiding block, and the connecting block is connected to the belt pressing driver and the mounting block.

8 . The deposit device of claim 7 , wherein a stopping piece is arranged on the connecting block, a stopping member is arranged on the outer surface of the storage bin, the belt pressing driver is configured to drive the connecting block to move to drive the stopping piece to move to the stopping member, thereby limiting a moving distance of the connecting block and limiting a rotation range of the first connecting rod.

9 . The deposit device of claim 1 , wherein the storage bin has a first width, each of the at least one carrier tape has a second width, and the first width is greater than or equal to the second width.

10 . The deposit device of claim 1 , wherein a distance between any two adjacent through holes is defined as a first distance, a distance between any two adjacent teeth is defined as a second distance, the first distance is equal to the second distance.
