Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of semiconductor packaging, and in particular relates to a tape track mechanism of an ARC automatic disc changer, which is mainly used for processes such as IC tape packaging and small parts tape packaging in the semiconductor industry. Background Art

[0002] In the semiconductor industry, tape and reel (reel, material reel, reel, drum) are the main packaging materials for IC and are important products for IC storage, transportation and back-end supply. Tape, also known as IC tape, is a tape that can be used to decorate multiple electronic components with a tape, and then the tape is wound on a reel. With the rapid development of technology, the semiconductor industry has also developed rapidly. Combined with the current trend of automation development, how to automatically roll the tape on the reel is particularly important.

[0003] Depending on the IC specifications, there are many types and sizes of reels and tapes. The tape track is the guide mechanism for the tape to be wound on the reel before it is wound. The existing tape track can usually only correspond to one size of reel and cannot adapt to reels of multiple specifications. In addition, the existing tape track structure is relatively complex and occupies a large space.

[0004] Whether the design of the tape track is reasonable or not directly affects the production capacity, work efficiency and production cost on site. A good layout can also reduce the space occupied by the entire mechanism and reduce the construction cost of the mechanism. Therefore, the industry is in urgent need of a tape track that can share multiple specifications of Reels to meet market demand, which is also the current development trend. Summary of the invention

[0039] For further information, see Figure 9-12 As shown, the upper surface of the guide rail base plate 3 is provided with a guide rail bottom groove 301 that passes through from front to back, and the lower surface of the guide rail cover plate 4 is provided with a guide rail top groove 401 that passes through from front to back, and the width of the guide rail bottom groove 301 and the guide rail top groove 401 are the same. When the guide rail cover plate 4 is covered with the guide rail base plate 3, the guide rail top groove 401 corresponds to the guide rail bottom groove 301 up and down and constitutes the internal track of the braided guide rail module.

[0041] For further information, see Figure 1-4 As shown, the braid guide track module and the braid rotation track module are connected with each other through the plug-in cooperation of male and female plug-ins to achieve an adjustable front-to-back spacing to accommodate the automatic insertion and automatic reeling of 7-13 inch reels.

[0042] For further information, see Figure 5-12 As shown, a left plug block 402 is extended backward from the left side of the rear end of the guide track cover plate 4, and a right plug block 302 is extended backward from the right side of the rear end of the guide track base plate 3. After the guide track cover plate 4 is covered with the guide track base plate 3, the left plug block 402 and the right plug block 302 constitute a pair of male plug-ins of the braided guide track module; a left slot 202 is provided on the left side of the lower surface of the rotating track cover plate 2, and a right slot 102 is provided on the right side of the upper surface of the rotating track base plate 1. The rotating track cover plate 2 and the rotating track base plate 3 are connected. After the rotating track base plate 1 is covered, the left slot 202 and the right slot 102 constitute a pair of female plug-ins of the braided rotating track module; wherein, the size of the left plug-in block 402 matches the size of the left slot 202, and the size of the right plug-in block 302 matches the size of the right slot 102; when the male plug-in of the braided guide track module is plugged into and matched with the female plug-in of the braided rotating track module, the left plug-in block 402 is inserted into the left slot 202, and the right plug-in block 302 is inserted into the right slot 102, and both are fixed by screws.

[0044] For further information, see Figure 2 , 4 As shown in FIG. 8 , the rear end of the rotating track bottom groove 101 is in an upwardly curved arc shape, which not only facilitates the insertion of the braid, but also prevents the surface of the braid from being damaged due to being introduced into the internal track of the braid rotating track module from above.

[0045] For further information, see Figure 7-8 As shown, the rotating track cover plate 2 is provided with a plurality of assembly holes 9 for convenient fixed connection with the rotating mechanism of the ARC automatic disc changer.

[0046] The working process of the present invention is as follows:

[0047] See also Figure 1-12 As shown, before use, the front and rear spacing between the braiding guide track module and the braiding rotation track module is adjusted according to the different Reel sizes of the required reels. The specific operation method is to first connect the male plug-in on the braiding guide track module with the female plug-in on the braiding rotation track module to each other, so that the braiding guide track module and the braiding rotation track module form a preliminary connection, and then select which group of fixing screw holes 7 on the female plug-in to align and fix with which group of front and rear adjustment screw holes 8 on the male plug-in, so as to achieve the final fixed connection between the braiding guide track module and the braiding rotation track module, thereby determining the front and rear distance between the braiding guide track module and the braiding rotation track module. For example, when the fixing screw holes 7 on the female plug-in are aligned and fixed with the set of adjusting screw holes 8 on the front side of the male plug-in, the braiding guide track module shrinks backward relative to the braiding rotation track module, and a larger 13-inch reel is suitable at this time; when the fixing screw holes 7 on the female plug-in are aligned and fixed with the set of adjusting screw holes 8 on the rear side of the male plug-in, the braiding guide track module extends forward relative to the braiding rotation track module, and a smaller 7-inch reel is suitable at this time.

[0048] When in use, first pass the braid through the inner tracks of the braid rotating track module and the braid guide track module from back to front in sequence. Since the rear end of the inner track of the braid rotating track module is an upwardly curved structure, a soft turning support can be given to the braid when it is fed into the braid rotating track module from above, thereby avoiding surface wear of the braid due to friction between the edges and corners of the track. Then align the braid outlet of the braid guide track module together with the optical fiber sensor 5 with the braid socket position of the Reel. Whenever a Reel is in place, the optical fiber sensor 5 will automatically detect the braid socket position of the Reel, and the braid will automatically be inserted into the detected braid socket position under the guidance of the braid guide track module. Finally, the automatic winding of the braid is realized through the rotation of the Reel itself.

[0049] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
