Conveyor Device for Printed Circuit Boards

摘要

The invention relates to a conveyor device for printed circuit boards (4). The conveyor device comprises a carrier means (1) that continuously circulates between conveyor wheels and is linearly guided in sections. At least one carrier element (2) for supporting placement of the printed circuit board (4) and at least one resilient clamping element (5) for clamping the printed circuit board (4) on said carrier element (2) are arranged on said carrier means (1). By means of a switching device (9), the clamping element (5) can be moved back and forth between an open position of the clamping element (5), in which the printed circuit board (4) can be loosely placed onto said carrier element (2), and a spring-loaded closed position of the clamping element (5), in which the printed circuit board (4) can be pressed onto the carrier element (2) by the clamping element (5).

主权项

1. A device suitable for conveying a rigid or flexible film-shaped, printed circuit board through a soldering furnace, said conveyor device comprising:
at least one carrier continuously circulating between conveyor wheels and linearly guided at least in sections by said conveyor wheels; at least one carrier element arranged on the carrier and for supporting placement of the printed circuit board; and at least one resilient clamping element for clamping the printed circuit board on the carrier element, wherein the conveyor wheels guiding the carrier can be rotated about an axis that extends substantially parallel to a plane of the printed circuit board, and that by means of a switching device, the clamping element can be moved back and forth between an open position of the clamping element, in which the printed circuit board can be loosely placed onto the carrier element, and a spring-loaded closed position of the clamping element, in which the printed circuit board can be pressed onto the carrier element by the clamping element.
