Film laminating equipment

Abstract

A film pressing device is provided, in which a positioning component is configured on an independent machine base to pre-install the membrane tube, membrane roll, and membrane roll holder. Therefore, after the previous film pressing operation is completed, the machine base of the previous film pressing operation is removed and replaced with the machine base with the membrane tube, membrane roll, and membrane roll holder installed, so that the next film pressing operation can be carried out. This simplifies the assembly steps of the membrane roll containing the film and improves the film assembly efficiency.

Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a film pressing device, and more particularly to a film pressing device that can improve film assembly efficiency. Prior Technology

[0002] Before performing the lamination process on an existing IC substrate, the membrane tube, membrane roll, and membrane roll holder are first placed into the lamination groove and then fixed to secure the film at an appropriate position on the membrane tube, so that the film corresponds to the IC substrate.

[0003] To secure the film in the proper position, the membrane tube 90, a membrane roll 91 containing the film, and a plurality of membrane roll holders 92 must first be assembled, as shown in Figure 1. Next, to prevent contamination or scratches on the surface of the membrane roll 91, the pre-assembled membrane roll 91 is placed in a pressing groove (not shown). The membrane roll 91 is positioned using calipers within the pressing groove and aligned with the IC carrier board. Then, the membrane roll holders 92 are rotated, causing two of the holders to move (as indicated by arrows F1 and F2) to fix the membrane roll 91 in the appropriate position on the membrane tube 90.

[0004] However, in conventional film installation operations, it is necessary to wait for the film roll 91 from the previous film pressing operation to be unloaded before the film tube 90, film roll 91 and film roll holder 92 can be reassembled, resulting in low assembly efficiency and thus affecting the production efficiency of IC carrier boards.

[0005] Furthermore, during the assembly process, the pre-assembled film roll 91 needs to be placed into the film pressing groove for alignment. As a result, the operator needs to frequently touch the surface of the film roll 91. Consequently, the hand can easily rub against the film or foreign objects can adhere to the film, leading to film contamination and affecting the film pressing yield of the IC substrate.

[0006] Furthermore, during the alignment process in the film pressing groove, the position of the film roll 91 within the pressing groove needs to be repeatedly adjusted due to the influence of ambient lighting, resulting in a lengthy assembly time and thus increasing the risk of film contamination of the film roll 91.

[0007] On the other hand, manually positioning the relative positions of the membrane roll 91 and the membrane tube 90 often results in film misalignment due to uneven locking force of the membrane roll holder 92, leading to insufficient positioning accuracy and consequently poor IC substrate lamination. Furthermore, while additional inspection personnel can be added for repeated confirmation and adjustment to avoid film misalignment, this significantly increases labor and time costs.

[0008] Therefore, how to overcome the various problems of the aforementioned conventional technologies has become an urgent issue that needs to be addressed. Summary of the Invention

[0009] In view of the various deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a film pressing device, comprising: a freestanding machine base; at least one positioning component disposed on the machine base; at least one movable handle pivotally connected to one side of the machine base; at least one fixed handle disposed on the other side of the machine base, such that the fixed handle and the movable handle are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the machine base; and at least one film-blocking post disposed on the other side of the machine base, such that the film-blocking post, the fixed handle and the movable handle are arranged on the same straight line.

[0010] In the aforementioned film pressing equipment, the machine platform is a trolley.

[0011] In the aforementioned film pressing equipment, a plurality of baffles are erected on the machine platform to support the positioning component.

[0012] In the aforementioned lamination equipment, the positioning component includes a caliper with graduations and a positioning structure corresponding to the graduations. For example, the positioning structure includes a plurality of markers, a gear track that moves the plurality of markers, and a groove that guides the direction of displacement of the markers. Furthermore, the plurality of markers in the groove face the moving direction.

[0013] In the aforementioned film pressing equipment, the movable handle has a handle body with a non-through recess on the top side and its bottom end is mounted on the machine platform via a pivot, so that the handle body can rotate relative to the machine platform.

[0014] In the aforementioned film pressing equipment, the movable handle is positioned using a magnetic attraction method.

[0015] In the aforementioned film pressing equipment, the fixed handle has a handle body with a horizontal through notch at its top.

[0016] In the aforementioned film pressing equipment, the film-blocking column is used to fix a film tube, and the fixed handle and the movable handle respectively support the opposite ends of the film tube. A film roll passes through the film tube, and two film roll retainers are respectively fitted onto the opposite ends of the film tube, so that the film roll is located between the two film roll retainers.

[0017] As can be seen from the above, the lamination equipment of the present invention mainly utilizes the independent configuration of the machine to pre-install the film tube, film roll, and film roll holder during the previous lamination operation. Therefore, after the previous lamination operation is completed, the machine used for the previous lamination operation is removed and replaced with the machine that has been equipped with the film tube, film roll, and film roll holder to carry out the next lamination operation. This simplifies the assembly steps of the film roll containing the film and improves the assembly efficiency of the film. Therefore, compared with the prior art, the lamination equipment of the present invention effectively improves the production efficiency of IC substrates.

[0018] Furthermore, during the assembly process, the laminating equipment of the present invention, by placing the positioning component on the machine table, eliminates the need to place the pre-assembled film roll into a conventional laminating groove for alignment. Therefore, compared with the conventional technology, the laminating equipment of the present invention can reduce the number of times the operator comes into contact with the surface of the film roll, thereby avoiding the problem of film contamination caused by hand friction or foreign matter adhering to the film, and thus effectively improving the laminating yield of IC substrates.

[0019] Furthermore, the laminating equipment of the present invention only needs to move the marking piece to the required caliper scale to quickly position the film roll without the need for alignment in a conventional laminating groove. Therefore, compared with the conventional technology, the laminating equipment of the present invention is not affected by ambient light, and thus does not need to repeatedly adjust the position of the film roll, thereby effectively shortening the assembly time and reducing the risk of film contamination of the film roll.

[0020] On the other hand, the laminating equipment of the present invention improves the positioning accuracy by configuring the positioning component. Even if the locking force of the film roll holder is uneven, the position of the film roll can still be quickly adjusted. Therefore, compared with the conventional manual method, the laminating equipment of the present invention effectively improves the laminating yield of IC substrates and reduces the cost of manpower and operation time.

Changes or adjustments to their relative relationships, without substantially altering the technical content, should also be considered within the scope of the present invention.

[0041] Figures 2A to 2C are schematic diagrams of the lamination equipment 1 of the present invention. As shown in Figures 2A to 2C, the lamination equipment 1 is used for lamination of IC carrier boards in semiconductor packaging processes. It includes an independent machine base 10, a plurality of baffles 11 and 12 erected on the left and right sides of the machine base 10, at least one positioning component 13 disposed on the upper side of the machine base 10, at least one movable handle 14 disposed on the right side of the machine base 10, at least one fixed handle 15 disposed on the left side of the machine base 10, and at least one film-blocking post 16 disposed on the left side of the machine base 10.

[0042] In this embodiment, the other devices of the film pressing equipment 1 adopt existing technology, so the description is omitted below.

[0043] The machine platform 10 is in the form of a table with a rectangular bearing surface for mounting the baffles 11, 12, positioning components 13, movable handles 14, fixed handles 15, membrane-blocking posts 16, and protective railings 17.

[0044] In this embodiment, the machine 10 is a trolley, which has a push handle 100 and a plurality of rollers 101, and the bearing surface of the machine 10 is arranged with a central positioning area A and a pressing area B located on both sides of the positioning area A parallel to the long side.

[0045] Furthermore, the laminating equipment 1 defines the front and rear directions (e.g., arrow direction X) and left and right directions (e.g., arrow direction Y) based on the bearing surface of the machine base 10, and defines the direction perpendicular to the bearing surface as the up and down directions (e.g., arrow direction Z). It should be understood that this orientation is used to illustrate the configuration of this embodiment and is not particularly limiting.

[0046] The baffles 11 and 12 are located on both sides of the short side of the bearing surface of the machine base 10 and in the middle of the side (such as the positioning area A). The top edge of the baffles 11 and 12 is provided with scales S1 and S2 and a slot 110 and 120, respectively, as shown in Figure 3.

[0047] In this embodiment, the orientation of the card slots 110 and 120 is parallel to the marking orientation of the scales S1 and S2.

[0048] The positioning component 13 is disposed in the slots 110 and 120 of the two baffles 11 and 12 to be mounted on the two baffles 11 and 12 and suspended relative to the bearing surface of the machine tool. It includes a caliper 130 with a scale T and a positioning structure 13a corresponding to the scale T, as shown in Figures 4A and 4B.

[0049] In this embodiment, the positioning structure 13a includes a plurality of markers 131, a gear track 132 that drives the displacement of each marker 131, and a groove 133 that guides the displacement direction of the markers 131 in a straight line. When the user moves a marker 131, the marker 131 will move relative to the gear track 132 and be displaced along the groove 133 (as shown by the arrow Y). For example, when one of the markers 131 is moved, the gear track 132 will rotate, causing the gear track 132 to drive the other marker 131 to move. Therefore, the two markers 131 will move towards each other (i.e., their movement directions are opposite), as shown by the arrows Y1 and Y2 in FIG4B.

[0050] Furthermore, at least one protective railing 17 can be configured around the positioning component 13, as shown in Figures 2A and 2C. It is located on both sides of the long side of the bearing surface of the machine base 10 to cooperate with the baffles 11 and 12 surrounding the positioning component 13.

[0051] As shown in Figure 2C, the movable handle 14 is located on the short right side of the pressing area B of the machine platform 10 and is pivotally connected to the machine platform 10.

[0052] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 5A to 5C, the movable handle 14 has a handle body 14a, with a non-through recess 140 on the top side, and its bottom end is mounted on the machine base 10 via a pivot 141, so that the handle body 14a can rotate relative to the bearing surface of the machine base 10, in the rotation direction W shown in Figure 5D.

[0053] Furthermore, the movable handle 14 can be positioned magnetically so that it remains in its original state and does not rotate when not in use.

[0054] The fixed handle 15 is located on the pressing area B on the short left side of the machine 10. In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 6A to 6C, the fixed handle 15 has a handle body 15a, and a horizontally penetrating notch 150 is provided at its top.

[0055] The membrane-blocking post 16 is located on the short left side of the machine platform 10, on the membrane pressing area B, and is located outside the fixed handle 15.

[0056] In this embodiment, as shown in Figures 7A to 7C, the membrane support column 16 has a cylindrical support body 160, the end face 16a of which faces the fixed handle 15, and an installation hole 161 can be formed on the end face 16a for inserting a membrane iron tube 800.

[0057] Furthermore, the membrane post 16, the fixed handle 15, and the movable handle 14 are arranged on the same straight line for alignment, as shown in Figure 2C.

[0058] Furthermore, the membrane baffle 16, the fixed handle 15, and the movable handle 14 are symmetrically arranged on the pressing area B of the bearing surface of the machine base 10, as shown in Figure 2C.

[0059] Therefore, when using the film pressing equipment 1, firstly, a membrane tube 80 with a membrane support tube 800, a membrane roll 81 with a thin film, and two membrane roll retainers 82 are pre-assembled, as shown in Figure 8A, so that the membrane roll 81 passes through the membrane tube 80, and the two membrane roll retainers 82 are respectively fitted on the opposite ends of the membrane tube 80, so that the membrane roll 81 is located between the two membrane roll retainers 82.

[0060] Next, rotate the movable handle 14 so that the membrane support tube 800 of the membrane tube 80 is inserted into the mounting hole 161 of the membrane baffle post 16, and rotate the membrane tube 80 so that the membrane support tube 800 cannot be dislodged from the mounting hole 161, and place the membrane tube 80 on the fixed handle 15. Then rotate the movable handle 14 back to fix the movable handle 14 magnetically to position the membrane tube 80, as shown in Figure 8B.

[0061] Next, the two markers 131 in one of the grooves 133 are moved to the desired scale T of the caliper 130, as shown in Figure 8B.

[0062] Finally, align the left and right sides of the film on the membrane roll 81 with the two marking pieces 131, and then twist the membrane roll retainers 82 to move them facing each other (as shown by the arrows F1 and F2 in Figure 8C) to fix the membrane roll 81 in the appropriate position on the membrane tube 80, as shown in Figure 8C.

[0063] In this embodiment, following the steps described above, the film pressing equipment 1 of the present invention can install the film roll 81 on the two pressing areas B of the machine base 10.

[0064] It should be understood that the lamination equipment 1 of the present invention can be used to quickly assemble and configure the film roll 81 with the film according to the usage requirements, and is not limited to the lamination operation of IC carrier boards in semiconductor packaging process, as described above, for any lamination process.

[0065] In summary, the laminating equipment 1 of the present invention mainly utilizes the independent configuration of the machine 10 to pre-install the membrane tube 80, membrane roll 81, and membrane roll holder 82 during the previous laminating operation. Therefore, after the previous laminating operation is completed, the machine 10 used for the previous laminating operation can be removed and replaced with the machine 10 already equipped with the membrane tube 80, membrane roll 81, and membrane roll holder 82 to perform the next laminating operation. This simplifies the assembly steps of the membrane roll 81 containing the film, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the film. Therefore, compared with the prior art, the laminating equipment 1 of the present invention can improve the production efficiency of IC substrates.

[0066] Furthermore, during the assembly process, the laminating equipment 1 of the present invention places the positioning component 13 in the positioning area of ​​the machine 10, thus eliminating the need to place the pre-assembled film roll 81 into a conventional laminating groove for alignment. Therefore, compared with the conventional technology, the laminating equipment 1 of the present invention can significantly reduce the number of times the operator comes into contact with the surface of the film roll 81, thereby avoiding the problem of film contamination caused by hand friction or foreign matter adhering to the film, and thus effectively improving the laminating yield of IC substrates.

[0067] Furthermore, the laminating equipment 1 of the present invention only needs to move the marking 131 to the desired scale T of the caliper 130 to quickly position the film roll 81 without the need for alignment in a conventional laminating groove. Therefore, compared with the conventional technology, the laminating equipment 1 of the present invention is not affected by ambient light, and thus does not need to repeatedly adjust the position of the film roll 81, thereby greatly shortening the assembly time and reducing the risk of film contamination of the film roll 81.

[0068] On the other hand, the laminating equipment 1 of the present invention improves the positioning accuracy by means of the positioning component 13. Even if the locking force of the film roll holder 82 is uneven, the position of the film roll 81 can still be quickly adjusted. Therefore, compared with the conventional manual method, the laminating equipment 1 of the present invention can improve the laminating yield of IC substrates and reduce the cost of manpower and operation time.

[0069] The above embodiments are illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
