[0026] Reference Figure 1 , according to an embodiment of the present invention, the automatic tin material feeding system comprises:

[0027] A tin furnace (not marked in the figure) is used to melt the tin material;

[0028] The middle tin bath 100, the input port is connected to the tin furnace;

[0029] The solder ball machine 300 includes a heat preservation furnace 310, a solder ball machine body 320 and a casting hopper 330. The heat preservation furnace 310 is connected to the input port of the solder ball machine body 320, and the casting hopper 330 is connected to the output port of the solder ball machine body 320.

[0030] The tin replenishment valve 200, the output port of the intermediate tin tank 100 is connected to the insulation furnace 310 through the tin replenishment valve 200, the installation height of the intermediate tin tank 100 is higher than the installation height of the tin replenishment valve 200, and the installation height of the tin replenishment valve 200 is higher than the installation height of the insulation furnace 310.

[0031] During operation of the embodiment of the present invention, a large amount of tin material needs to be put into a large-capacity tin furnace at one time for melting, thereby melting into tin liquid, and then flowing into the intermediate tin tank 100 for temporary storage by means of power pumping or gravity self-flow, and then the tin liquid in the intermediate tin tank 100 will flow into the insulation furnace 310 of the solder ball machine 300 through the tin replenishment valve 200, so that the tin liquid flows into the solder ball machine body 320, thereby realizing the automatic supply of tin material. Therefore, the embodiment of the present invention is not only simple to operate and improves production and processing efficiency, but also does not cause personal injury, and is safer and more reliable.

[0032] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a return tin tank 410 and a return tin pump 420 are also included. The solder ball machine body 320 is also provided with a return port, which is connected to the return tin tank 410. The height of the return port is higher than the installation height of the return tin tank 410. The return tin tank 410 is connected to the insulation furnace 310 through the return tin pump 420. In this embodiment, the sprue material produced by the casting of the solder ball machine body 320 can be returned to the return tin tank 410 of the molten tin to be melted again, and then the return tin pump 420 is used to return the molten tin to the insulation furnace 310. This method solves the problem of returning materials, and no longer requires manual labor to take materials and then put them again. In addition, it can save energy. The high-temperature sprue material directly enters the return tin tank 410 for melting, which saves heat, which is equivalent to saving electricity.

[0033] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a liquid level sensor is provided in the return tin tank 410, and the liquid level sensor is electrically connected to the tin replenishment valve 200. In this embodiment, the feeding sequence of the tin replenishment valve 200 and the return tin tank 410 is set as the priority feeding sequence when the return tin tank 410 reaches the liquid level, so as to prevent the liquid level of the return tin tank 410 from being too high. Therefore, in order to achieve the above-mentioned feeding sequence, a liquid level sensor is provided in the return tin tank 410 in this embodiment. When the liquid level in the return tin tank 410 reaches a certain height, the tin replenishment valve 200 will be controlled to be closed in response, so that the return tin tank 410 is fed to the holding furnace 310 first.

[0034] According to some embodiments of the present invention, temperature sensors are provided in the heat preservation furnace 310, the tin replenishment valve 200, and the return tin tank 410. In this embodiment, by providing temperature sensors in the heat preservation furnace 310, the tin replenishment valve 200, and the return tin tank 410, the heating temperature of each component can be detected in real time. When the temperature of the heat preservation furnace 310, the tin replenishment valve 200, and the return tin tank 410 reaches the set temperature, the heating mode will switch to the heat preservation mode, the power is greatly reduced, and the electric energy is greatly saved.

[0035] According to some embodiments of the present invention, an intermediate silo 500 and a conveyor belt 700 are further included. The intermediate silo 500 is close to the casting hopper 330, and the conveyor belt 700 is arranged on one side of the intermediate silo 500. The intermediate silo 500 is used to receive the solder balls output by the casting hopper 330 and convey them to the conveyor belt 700. In this embodiment, the intermediate silo 500 can temporarily store the solder balls output by the casting hopper 330, wherein a slope structure is arranged in the intermediate silo 500, and the solder balls can automatically slide down to the conveyor belt 700 through the slope structure, thereby realizing automatic conveyance.

[0036] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a vibration slide 600 is further included, and the vibration slide 600 is arranged at the output side of the intermediate silo 500 and above the conveyor belt 700. In this embodiment, the solder balls coming out of the intermediate silo 500 first pass through the vibration slide 600 and then fall into the conveyor belt 700, which can prevent too many solder balls from piling up and hindering the operation of the conveyor belt 700.

[0037] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the solder ball machine 300 is a hydraulic solder ball machine.

[0038] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the conveyor belt 700 is a horizontal climbing dual-purpose conveyor belt.

[0039] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge scope of ordinary technicians in the technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention.
