Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the field of chip conveying, in particular to a double-head flip conveying mechanism. BACKGROUND

[0002] IC: commonly known as chip, the abbreviation of Integrated Circuit Chip, IC chip is to form an integrated circuit of a large number of microelectronic components (transistors, resistors, capacitors, etc.) on a plastic base to make a chip. IC chip includes wafer chip and packaged chip, and the corresponding IC chip production line consists of wafer production line and packaging production line.

[0003] COP process is to bind IC to flexible screen, and the original IC chip is in the IC quenching tray, which needs to be flipped and conveyed to the pressure head after camera alignment. Due to the high requirements of panel industry on production capacity and product quality, the conveying process needs to be fast and stable.

[0004] At present, the following two conveying forms are basically used in the industry:

[0005] As shown in Figure 1 , the first conveying form consists of a taking mechanism a taking material from the IC quenching tray b, a flip mechanism c, and a conveying mechanism d delivering to the pressure head e.

[0006] The specific conveying process is: the taking mechanism a takes material from the IC quenching tray b, and conveys the IC chip 8 to the flip mechanism c; the flip mechanism c flips the IC chip 8, and conveys the IC chip 8 to the conveying mechanism d; the conveying mechanism d aligns the IC chip 8 with the camera, and delivers the IC chip 8 to the pressure head e.

[0007] This form increases the conveying mechanism to speed up the equipment beat, but the conveying delivery times need 4 times, and the static electricity release during delivery and the extrusion and friction during the delivery process may cause IC damage. The more the conveying times, the greater the impact on IC quality.

[0008] As shown in Figure 2 , the second conveying form consists of a flip conveying mechanism A.

[0009] The specific conveying process is: the flip conveying mechanism A takes material from the IC quenching tray b, flips the IC chip 8, aligns the IC chip 8 with the camera, and delivers the IC chip 8 to the pressure head e.

[0010] This form only has a conveying flip mechanism directly delivering to the pressure head, and the conveying delivery times need 2 times, but the mechanism beat is long and the equipment capacity is low.

[0011] The prior art accelerates the device beat by increasing the conveying mechanism, or directly transfers to the press head by only one conveying and turning mechanism, but the mechanism beat is long, so there is no mechanism with less transfer times and fast beat, therefore, an urgent need arises for a mechanism to solve the contradiction between device capacity and chip quality.

[0012] In summary, how to effectively solve the contradiction between device capacity and chip quality and other problems is a problem that technicians in the field urgently need to solve at present. SUMMARY

The overall structure of the double-head IC adsorption assembly is simple, easy to connect, convenient to disassemble and easy to control the orientation conversion of the first IC adsorption head 1 and the second IC adsorption head 7.

[0055] The double-head flipping conveying mechanism provided by the application should not be limited to this case, and in the case that other components are not changed, the slider 3 comprises a fixed block 31 fixedly connected with the output end of the rotating shaft 5, a sliding block 32 provided with a groove in the inner side and capable of moving up and down along the fixed block 31, the two L-shaped connecting pieces 2 are respectively fixed to the side surfaces of the two sliding blocks 32, and a compression spring 6 is arranged between the horizontal plate of the L-shaped connecting piece 2 and the end surface of the output end of the rotating shaft 5.

[0056] In the structure, the slider 3 comprises a fixed block 31 and a sliding block 32, the fixed block 31 is fixedly connected with the output end of the rotating shaft 5, the inner side of the sliding block 32 is provided with a groove, the groove is clamped on the fixed block 31, and the sliding block 32 can move up and down along the fixed block 31, that is, the sliding block 32 can move up and down relative to the output end of the rotating shaft 5.
