Chip issuing equipment and chip issuing system

Abstract

The invention discloses chip issuing equipment and a chip issuing system, wherein the chip issuing equipment comprises a chip loading device, a chip transmission passage, a chip writing device and a chip sorting device, wherein the chip loading device is used for loading chips to be issued into the chip transmission passage, the chip transmission passage is used for transmitting the chips to be issued to the chip writing device through the self weight of the chips to be issued, the chip writing device is used for writing issuing data into the chips to be issued, detecting issued chips and outputting detection results, and the chip sorting device is used for sliding the issued chips into successfully issued chip loading tubes or unsuccessfully issued chip loading tubes according to the detection results. The chip issuing equipment and the chip issuing system disclosed by the invention have the advantages that pneumatic transmission and infrared sensing detection modes are adopted, the computer software control is matched for completing the whole-process automatic feeding, the issuing, the detection and the loading of the chips, the issuing speed is high, and in addition, the issuing accuracy is high.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to chip distribution, in particular to a chip distribution device and a chip distribution system. Background technique [0002] With the development of science and technology, chips are more and more widely used in production and life, which improves the technological level of production technology and greatly facilitates people's daily life. Generally speaking, a chip with a specific function must go through a specific read-write device to create a file structure, import a key, etc. This process is also called chip issuance, and the chip issuance process itself There are problems of cumbersome steps and low distribution efficiency, especially for some chips with irregular shapes, the above problems are even more prominent. [0003] Taking the common embedded security control module (Embedded Secure Access Module, ESAM) as an example, it has been widely used in public utilities (such as the field of water and electricity meters),...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

ESAM adopts a special smart card chip package (DIP or COB), with eight metal pins protruding from the outside of the chip. The common packaging specification is a vertical chip loading tube with 50 pieces. ESAM is vertically arranged in the chip loading tube. Due to the irregular shape of ESAM, ESAM is still issued manually, that is, the operator pours ESAM out of the chip loading tube, and manually puts ESAM into the adapter of the card reader one by one. In the board, extend the eight contacts of an IC card to the eight pins of the ESAM, and then complete the issuance of the ESAM through computer software and a card reader, and then reinstall the issued ESAM by hand. The whole process is almost completed by purely manual operation of technicians. Obviously, this manual distribution method is extremely prone to human errors, and the distribution efficiency is also very low. Practice has proved that the speed of manual distribution of ESAM is very fast. Slow, only 200 to 400 per hour can be issued on average, and the chance of errors is high

[0004] In addition, after the chip is released, it needs to be tested to determine whether the file structure, key, etc. are correctly written into the chip, that is, whether the released chip has the expected functional effect. The unqualified chips are sorted and collected separately for subsequent processing. However, in the prior art, the chip detection steps and collection and sorting steps are all done manually by technicians, which will inevitably lead to low work efficiency and high labor costs. In addition, human errors are prone to occur during the operation process, resulting in product problems or the mixing of qualified and unqualified products

[0005] Faced with the overall form of increasing chip usage and rapid growth in use demand, the above-mentioned low-efficiency and high-error-rate distribution methods are obviously unable to meet production needs, and urgently need to be improved. In view of this situation, the designer uses his Years of technical experience in related fields and rich professional knowledge, continuous research and development and improvement, and a large number of practical verifications, put forward the technical solution of the automatic chip issuance and detection equipment of the present invention
