Referring to Figures 1, 8, and 10, since the short sides of the carrier B1 are concavely spaced apart from each other by a gap-shaped two positioning holes B12, the upper cover B11 is covered on the carrier B1, and the upper cover B11 is short on both sides. The cover is over the two positioning holes B12 of the carrier B1 on both sides; therefore, when the entire set of the carrier B1 and the upper cover B11 are adsorbed by the suction C and placed on the carrier G2 in the embodiment of the present invention, The clamp arm G232 is driven to interlock the inlays G233 and G234, and the carrier B1 is placed on the seat plate G22 by the two positioning blocks B12 embedded in the two outer sides of the short side of the seat plate G22. Above the surface, because the key block G224 is highly protruded from the upper surface of the seat plate G22, and the height of the ridge is greater than the thickness of the carrier B1, the short sides of the upper cover B11 are respectively abutted by the two-button block G224, so that the upper cover is covered. B11, the carrier B1 is supported by the two-button block G224 at a distance d above the surface of the seat plate G22 (the upper cover B11 and the carrier B1 are integrally attracted by the magnetic member).

Referring to Figures 1, 9, and 11, when the first group of adsorption elements C1 of the suction cup C are used for the negative pressure of the adsorption, the carrier B1 is not adsorbed by the first group of adsorption elements C1, and only the upper cover B11 is still the second group. When the adsorption element C2 is adsorbed, the two clamp arms G232 will be driven to interlock the inner inlays G233 and G234, so that the carrier B1 is pushed by the inner and outer oblique taper inner edges of the inlays G233 and G234, and the force is pushed. The magnetic attraction between the upper cover and the upper cover B11 is reversed by the key block G224 on both sides of the upper cover B11, so that the carrier B1 and the upper cover B11 are separated from the upper surface of the seat plate G22, and then the suction seat C is again The two sets of adsorption elements C2 adsorb the upper cover B11 away from the carrier G2, and the carrier B1 on the upper surface of the landing plate G22 is transported by the transport path provided by the carrier G2.

Referring to FIG. 12, in the embodiment of the present invention, if the suction nozzle G241 is provided in the boring hole G221 of the seat plate G22 of the carrier G2, the suction positioning during the conveyance of the components on the carrier B1 can be used.

The hollow section G211 and the bore G221 can be extended to perform heating operation on the components on the carrier B1.

In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, the single rail seat G can be transported with the carrier G2, or as shown in FIG. 14, the two rail seats G can be transported opposite to the two carriers G2, for example, a carrier G2. When the seat plate G22 is provided with only the pupil G221, and the other seat G2 is provided with the nozzle G221 on the seat plate G22, the second seat G2 can be used to hold different objects to be transported. Carry out different processing processes.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the carrier and the method and apparatus for transporting the carrier, because the carrier G2 is in parallel with the transport rail G1 with a long side to provide stable transmission, and the long side of the other side is not Supported to vacate the carrier G2 underneath, a heating mechanism D may be disposed under the carrier G2 to heat or other operations on the carrier G2; and the entire group including the upper cover B11 and the carrier B1 may be matched. The assembly enables the upper cover B11 to open and close D9 on the carrier G2 (same as opening), and to provide a conveying flow path for the carrier G2 to be driven by the linear motor G11 on the second conveying rail G1 with the sliding seat G13. In order to transport the upper cover B11 has been opened and loaded with the carrier B1 of the component A1; and the hollowing interval G211 of the base G21 in the carrier G2 is set, so that the pupil G221 of the seat plate G22 can be used for the heating head D1 of the heating mechanism D The insertion or supply of the suction nozzle G241 is provided to make the carrier G2 more versatile.
