In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used to distinguish in the description and have no special meaning.

[0054] The technical solution of the present invention is further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and through specific implementation methods.

[0055] In the SMT patch process, IC chips are loaded through carrier tapes. Existing carrier tapes are generally rolled into reels for loading, and the number of carrier tapes per reel is usually 5,000. At present, the mother reel 23 carrier tape is unpacked into multiple sub-reels 34 carrier tapes by manual counting and manual cutting to meet the number of carrier tapes required by different work orders. Manual cutting and splitting of the carrier tape is time-consuming and cumbersome, which increases labor costs and reduces the efficiency of loading the carrier tape.

[0056] To solve the above problems, Figure 1 As shown, this embodiment discloses a carrier tape splitting and packaging machine, which can realize automatic splitting of the carrier tape without manual intervention, thereby realizing the automated operation of splitting the carrier tape.

[0057] Specifically, the carrier tape splitting and packaging machine includes a mother disc feeding module 2, a sub-disc receiving module 3, a transfer module 4 and a cutting module 5. The mother disc feeding module 2 includes a mother disc support 21, and the mother disc 23 wrapped with the carrier tape can be rotatably arranged on the mother disc support 21. The sub-disc receiving module 3 includes a sub-disc support 31, and the sub-disc support 31 is arranged adjacent to the mother disc support 21 along the first direction. The sub-disc 34 can be rotatably arranged on the sub-disc support 31. The transfer module 4 includes a transfer receiving shaft 45, which can slide along the first direction and has a second position and a fourth position. In the second position, the transfer receiving shaft 45 is arranged opposite to the mother disc 23, and the carrier tape of the mother disc 23 is unwound toward the transfer receiving shaft 45. In the fourth position, the transfer receiving shaft 45 is arranged opposite to the sub-disc 34, and the carrier tape of the transfer receiving shaft 45 is unwound toward the sub-disc 34. The cutting module 5 is arranged on one side of the mother disk support 21 and can cut a specified number of carrier tapes. Figure 1 In the direction indicated by the arrow.

[0058] In this embodiment, when the transfer receiving shaft 45 slides to the second position along the first direction, the carrier tape of the mother disk 23 on the mother disk support 21 is unwound, so that the carrier tape is wound onto the transfer receiving shaft 45, and the cutting module 5 cuts the carrier tape at the cutting position to cut a specified number of carrier tapes on the mother disk 23. Then the transfer receiving shaft 45 slides to the fourth position along the first direction, and the transfer receiving shaft 45 is unwound, so that the carrier tape is wound onto the sub-disk 34. The specified number of carrier tapes on the mother disk 23 are wound onto the sub-disk 34 by the transfer receiving shaft 45 and the cutting module 5, so that the carrier tape of the mother disk 23 is automatically split, without manual counting and segmentation, thereby improving the splitting efficiency, reducing the splitting cost, and being conducive to improving the loading efficiency of the carrier tape.

[0059] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the master disk feeding module 2 includes a master disk support 21, a master disk driving member 22 and a master disk 23. The master disk driving member 22 is arranged on the master disk support 21. The master disk support 21 is provided with a first rotating shaft, and the master disk 23 is sleeved on the first rotating shaft. The master disk driving member 22 is connected to the first rotating shaft to drive the master disk 23 to rotate, so as to realize the unwinding or rewinding of the master disk 23.

[0060] Specifically, the mother disk driving component 22 of this embodiment is a servo motor, which is arranged along the vertical direction with the mother disk support 21. The output shaft of the servo motor is connected to the first rotating shaft through a bevel gear meshing transmission to make the structure of the mother disk feeding module 2 more compact and reduce the floor space.

[0061] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, the sub-disc receiving module 3 includes a sub-disc support 31 and a sub-disc driving member 32. The sub-disc driving member 32 is arranged on the sub-disc support 31. The sub-disc support 31 is provided with a second rotating shaft, and the sub-disc 34 is sleeved on the second rotating shaft. The sub-disc driving member 32 is connected to the second rotating shaft to drive the sub-disc 34 to rotate, so that the sub-disc 34 can reel the carrier tape.

[0062] Specifically, the sub-disk driving member 32 of this embodiment is a servo motor, and the output shaft of the servo motor is drivingly connected to the first rotating shaft.

[0063] During the winding process of the sub-disc 34, the number of rolls of the carrier tape on the sub-disc 34 gradually increases, and the diameter of the material disc formed by the carrier tape on the sub-disc 34 gradually increases, so that the carrier tape is wound into the sub-disc 34 at a certain angle (winding angle) to the horizontal direction, which increases the difficulty of winding the sub-disc 34 and is not conducive to improving the winding efficiency.

[0064] To solve the above problems, the sub-disc receiving module 3 also includes a sub-disc lifting rod 33, the top of which is connected to the sub-disc bracket 31. The sub-disc lifting rod 33 can be driven by a motor or a hydraulic cylinder to drive the sub-disc bracket 31 to rise or fall in the vertical direction, so that the winding angle of the sub-disc 34 is always kept horizontal, thereby improving the winding stability and winding efficiency.

[0065] like Figure 1 As shown, the carrier tape unpacking and packaging machine of this embodiment further includes a carrier tape conveying track 1 , and the carrier tape on the mother tray 23 is conveyed between the transfer and receiving shaft 45 and the sub-tray 34 via the corresponding carrier tape conveying track 1 .

[0066] like Figure 4 As shown, the carrier conveying track 1 includes a fixed rail 11, a movable rail 12, a driving assembly and a driving wheel 131. The upper surfaces of the fixed rail 11 and the movable rail 12 are both provided with a slide groove 111, and the fixed rail 11 and the movable rail 12 are arranged opposite to each other so that the two slide grooves 111 surround and form a slideway for the carrier to pass through. The driving assembly includes a first driving member 16, and the first driving member 16 is used to drive the movable rail 12 to approach or move away from the fixed rail 11. The driving wheel 131 is rotatably arranged above the slideway, and the carrier is wound around the driving wheel 131, and the friction between the driving wheel 131 and the carrier drives the carrier to move on the slideway.

[0067] In this embodiment, the fixed rail 11 and the movable rail 12 are arranged opposite to each other so that the slide grooves 111 of the two are surrounded to form a slideway, and the driving wheel 131 drives the carrier to slide on the slideway to realize the transmission of the carrier. The movable rail 12 is driven to approach or move away from the fixed rail 11 by the first driving member 16 to adjust the width of the slideway, thereby adapting to carriers of different widths, so that the carrier transmission track 1 has universality.

[0068] The width of the slideway can be quickly adjusted through the carrier tape conveyor track 1 to adapt to carrier tapes of different widths, making the carrier tape splitting and packaging machine universal. At the same time, it avoids replacing the carrier tape conveyor track 1 on the carrier tape splitting and packaging machine, reduces the cost of the carrier tape splitting and packaging machine, and improves the loading efficiency of the carrier tape.

[0069] Specifically, the carrier conveyor track 1 further includes a base 10, a fixed rail 11 vertically mounted on one side of the base 10 along its width direction, and a movable rail 12 slidably disposed on the base 10. The fixed rail 11 and the movable rail 12 have the same structure, and both upper surfaces are stepped structures, forming an L-shaped slide groove 111. The slide grooves 111 of the fixed rail 11 and the movable rail 12 are arranged to penetrate along their respective length directions, so that the two slide grooves 111 surround a slideway.

[0070] During the carrier conveying process, there may be a certain angle between the carrier and the extension direction of the slide. In order to ensure the smooth horizontal transportation of the carrier on the slide, the carrier conveying track 1 also includes a limit rod 153. The limit rod 153 can press the carrier against the slide to prevent the carrier from leaving the slide, thereby realizing the horizontal transportation of the carrier.

[0071] Specifically, one end of the limit rod 153 is fixedly disposed above the fixed rail 11, and the other end of the limit rod 153 is slidably disposed above the movable rail 12. The fixed rail 11 and the movable rail 12 have an input end and an output end along the conveying direction of the carrier tape, and the carrier tape enters the slideway through the input end and slides out from the output end. Slide sleeves 154 are respectively installed at the input ends of the fixed rail 11 and the movable rail 12, and one end of the limit rod 153 is fixedly sleeved on the slide sleeve 154 on the fixed rail 11, and the other end is slidably sleeved on the slide sleeve 154 on the movable rail 12.

[0072] Continue as Figure 4 As shown, the driving assembly of this embodiment further includes a support plate 14, which is arranged on the outer side of the movable rail 12, and the first driving member 16 is arranged on the support plate 14. Specifically, the support plate 14 is vertically arranged on the other side of the base 10 along the width direction thereof, so that the fixed rail 11, the movable rail 12 and the support plate 14 are arranged side by side in sequence along the width direction of the base 10.

[0073] The driving assembly also includes a lead screw 151, a guide rod 152 and a pulley assembly. The two ends of the lead screw 151 are rotatably arranged on the fixed rail 11 and the support plate 14 respectively. The movable rail 12 is threadedly connected to the lead screw 151, and the first driving member 16 is transmission-connected to the lead screw 151. The first driving member 16 drives the lead screw 151 to rotate forward or reversely through the pulley assembly, so that the movable rail 12 slides back and forth on the lead screw 151 to adjust the spacing between the fixed rail 11 and the movable rail 12, that is, the width of the slideway. The pulley assembly has the advantages of simple structure, stable transmission, and can realize the transmission of power between multiple axes.

[0074] The two ends of the guide rod 152 of this embodiment are respectively arranged on the fixed rail 11 and the support plate 14, and the movable rail 12 is slidably sleeved on the guide rod 152. The guide rod 152 plays a guiding and limiting role for the movable rail 12, so that the movable rail 12 moves smoothly on the base 10 and prevents the movable rail 12 from deflecting.

[0075] The pulley assembly includes a driving wheel 171, a driven wheel 172 and a belt 173, and the output shaft of the first driving member 16 is connected to the driving wheel 171. The driven wheel 172 is arranged at one end of the lead screw 151. The belt 173 is wound around the driving wheel 171 and the driven wheel 172. The first driving member 16 and the pulley assembly of this embodiment are respectively installed on both sides of the support plate 14 along the thickness direction thereof, and the first driving member 16 is located above the movable rail 12 to prevent the first driving member 16 from extending out of the base 10, so that the structural distribution of the carrier conveyor track 1 is more compact, and the volume and floor space of the carrier conveyor track 1 are reduced.

[0076] like Figure 1 As shown, there are two driven wheels 172, and the number of lead screws 151 is the same as the number of driven wheels 172, and they are installed one by one. The two lead screws 151 are arranged at intervals along the length direction of the movable rail 12, which increases the driving force applied by the first driving member 16 to the movable rail 12, and makes the force of the movable rail 12 more uniform, further avoiding the deflection of the movable rail 12 when sliding on the base 10. The driving wheel 171 is located directly above one of the driven wheels 172, and the two driven wheels 172 and the driving wheel 171 are distributed in a right triangle, which is conducive to increasing the driving force transmitted by the belt 173.

[0077] Preferably, the belt 173 is a synchronous belt, and the driving wheel 171 and the driven wheel 172 are pulleys that can mesh with the synchronous belt. Through the meshing cooperation between the pulley and the synchronous belt, a larger driving force can be transmitted, which is conducive to improving the adjustment efficiency of the movable rail 12.

[0078] The carrier conveying track 1 of this embodiment also includes a second driving member 132 and a bracket 133. The bracket 133 includes two vertical plates, one of which is fixedly arranged on the outer side of the fixed rail 11, and the other vertical plate is arranged on the base 10. The driving wheel 131 is rotatably arranged on the two vertical plates through a rotating shaft.

[0079] Specifically, the second driving member 132 is disposed on a vertical plate in the bracket 133 and is located above the driving wheel 131, so as to prevent the second driving member 132 from extending out of the base 10, thereby making the structure distribution of the carrier belt conveyor track 1 more compact and reducing the volume and floor space of the carrier belt conveyor track 1. The second driving member 132 is also connected to the driving wheel 131 through a pulley assembly, so that the driving wheel 131 drives the carrier belt to move along the slideway.

[0080] The first driving member 16 and the second driving member 132 of this embodiment are both servo motors, which have the advantages of high control accuracy, fast speed response, etc. The driving wheel 131 is a rubber wheel, which increases the friction between the carrier tape and can avoid scratching the carrier tape.

[0081] In this embodiment, the friction between the driving wheel 131 and the carrier tape drives the carrier tape to move along the slideway. To prevent the carrier tape from slipping, the carrier tape conveying track 1 of this embodiment further includes a ratchet 181, which is rotatably arranged on the side wall opposite to the fixed rail 11 and the movable rail 12, and the ratchet teeth of the ratchet 181 are plugged into the index hole of the carrier tape. When the carrier tape is conveyed, the multiple ratchet teeth on the outer periphery of the ratchet 181 are plugged into the index hole of the carrier tape in sequence, which plays a role in positioning the carrier tape and prevents the carrier tape from slipping.

[0082] Furthermore, a pressure roller 182 and a rotating frame are provided on the fixed rail 11. The pressure roller 182 is rotatably set on the rotating frame and is located above the ratchet 181. The pressure roller 182 can press the carrier tape against the ratchet 181 to prevent the index hole of the carrier tape from being out of engagement with the ratchet teeth of the ratchet 181, thereby improving the stability of the carrier tape transmission process.

[0083] The carrier tape conveying track 1 of this embodiment further includes a counting sensor 19, which is disposed at a counting station on the fixed rail 11 and is used to collect the number of carrier tapes passing through the counting station. When the mother disk carrier tape is conveyed to the sub-disk 34 through the carrier tape conveying track 1, the counting sensor 19 can accurately obtain the number of conveyed carrier tapes, thereby realizing accurate control of the number of sub-disk carrier tapes.

[0084] Since the counting sensor 19 is a mature product, those skilled in the art can obtain it through outsourcing, and its specific structure and working principle will not be described in detail here.

[0085] It should be noted that when the carrier tape of the mother disk 23 is split into the sub-disks 34, a certain number of empty carrier tapes need to be glued to the head and tail of the carrier tape of the sub-disk 34 so that the carrier tape of the sub-disk 34 has a certain buffer length at the beginning and end of loading, thereby achieving smooth loading of the carrier tape.

[0086] Therefore, if Figure 1 As shown, the carrier tape splitting and packaging machine also includes an empty carrier tape material tray wrapped with an empty carrier tape. The empty carrier tape material tray can adhere a specified number of empty carrier tapes to the head of the carrier tape (the tail of the carrier tape on the sub-disk 34) before the transfer collection shaft 45 reels the carrier tape on the mother disk 23. When the transfer collection shaft 45 completes reeling the carrier tape on the mother disk 23, the specified number of empty carrier tapes are adhered to the tail of the carrier tape (the head of the carrier tape on the sub-disk 34).

[0087] The empty tape tray of this embodiment includes a first tray 81 and a second tray 82, and the first tray 81 and the second tray 82 respectively transmit the empty tape to the head and tail of the tape on the sub-tray 34 through the corresponding tape conveying track 1. Specifically, the first tray 81 is arranged on the transfer module 4, and slides synchronously with the transfer receiving shaft 45 to provide an empty tape to the head of the tape on the mother tray 23. The second tray 82 is rotatably installed below the mother tray bracket 21 to provide an empty tape to the tail of the tape on the mother tray 23.

[0088] like Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, the carrier tape splitting and packaging machine of this embodiment has a workbench, and the mother tray bracket 21 and the child tray bracket 31 are arranged adjacent to each other on the first side of the workbench along the first direction, so that the carrier tape splitting and packaging machine has a compact structure, which is conducive to reducing the floor space and volume of the carrier tape splitting and packaging machine. The transfer module 4 is arranged on the second side of the workbench, and the first side and the second side of the workbench are arranged opposite to each other.

[0089] It should be noted that the number of the carrier conveying tracks 1 in this embodiment is four. For the convenience of description, the four carrier conveying tracks 1 are respectively defined as a first carrier conveying track, a second carrier conveying track, a third carrier conveying track and a fourth carrier conveying track.

[0090] The first carrier conveying track and the second carrier conveying track of this embodiment are arranged side by side along the first direction. The first carrier conveying track is located directly below the mother tray support 21 to facilitate the conveyance of the carrier tape on the mother tray 23. The second material tray 82 is located directly below the second carrier conveying track to facilitate the conveyance of the empty carrier tape on the second material tray 82.

[0091] like Figure 5As shown, the transfer module 4 includes a mounting platform 41, a first slide rail 42, a transfer drive 43, a transfer lifting rod 44 and a transfer receiving shaft 45. The first slide rail 42 extends along the first direction and is arranged on the second side of the mounting platform 41, and the mounting platform 41 is slidably installed on the workbench. The third carrier conveying track and the fourth carrier conveying track are installed side by side on the transfer module 4 along the first direction. The extension direction of the four carrier conveying tracks 1 is the same, and they are all perpendicular to the first direction. The transfer lifting rod 44 can be slidably arranged on the mounting platform 41 in the vertical direction, and the transfer receiving shaft 45 is rotatably arranged on the transfer lifting rod 44 and is located at one end of the extension direction of the fourth carrier conveying track. The transfer drive 43 is connected to the transfer receiving shaft 45 to drive the transfer receiving shaft 45 to rotate for winding and unwinding. The mother disk drive 22 of this embodiment is a servo motor, and the output shaft of the servo motor is connected to the transfer receiving shaft 45.

[0092] During the process of winding and unwinding the transfer take-up shaft 45, the diameter of the material tray formed by the carrier tape on the transfer take-up shaft 45 changes, and the transfer lifting rod 44 can be driven by a motor or a hydraulic cylinder to drive the transfer take-up shaft 45 to rise or fall in the vertical direction, so that the winding angle and unwinding angle of the transfer take-up shaft 45 are always kept horizontal, thereby improving the winding and unwinding stability and winding efficiency.

[0093] It should be noted that the mounting platform 41 is provided with an avoidance hole 411, which is located above the first material tray 81. When the mounting platform 41 slides to the first position, the empty carrier tape on the first material tray 81 passes through the avoidance hole 411 to dock with the carrier tape.

[0094] The first slide rail 42 of this embodiment extends along the first direction, and the transfer receiving shaft 45 slides along the first slide rail 42, so that the transfer receiving shaft 45 has a first position, a second position, a third position and a fourth position along the first direction. When the transfer receiving shaft 45 is in the first position, the first material tray 81 is arranged opposite to the mother tray 23, and the empty tape of the first material tray 81 is connected to the head of the tape of the mother tray 23. The second material tray 82 is arranged opposite to the transfer receiving shaft 45 in the third position, and the empty tape of the second material tray 82 is connected to the tail of the tape of the transfer receiving shaft 45.

[0095] like Figure 1 As shown, the carrier tape disassembly and packaging machine further includes a bonding module, which includes a first tape cutter 61 and a first mechanical arm 62. The first tape cutter 61 is used to cut the tape. The first mechanical arm 62 bonds the cut tape between the carrier tape and the empty carrier tape.

[0096] Specifically, the first tape cutter 61 is arranged outside the first carrier tape conveying track 1, and the first tape cutter 61 can cut the tape in a roll into a predetermined length so as to be grabbed by the first robot arm 62. The first robot arm 62 can be a four-axis robot, which is installed in the middle of the workbench to facilitate the bonding of the tape. When the carrier tape on the mother disk 23 and the empty carrier tape are docked, a certain gap is left between the two. The first tape cutter 61 cuts the tape of a predetermined length, and the first robot arm 62 grabs the tape and bonds it between the carrier tape and the empty carrier tape.

[0097] like Figure 6 As shown, the cutting module 5 of this embodiment includes a cutting machine 51, a cutting drive 52 and a second slide rail 53. The cutting machine 51 is slidably arranged on the second slide rail 53. The cutting machine 51 includes a cutter bracket 511, an upper cutter 512, a lower cutter 513 and a cylinder 514, and the upper cutter 512 and the lower cutter 513 are relatively arranged on the cutter bracket 511 in the vertical direction. Specifically, the lower cutter 513 is fixedly arranged on the cutter bracket 511, the upper cutter 512 is slidably arranged on the cutter bracket 511, the cylinder 514 is arranged above the cutter bracket 511, and the piston rod of the cylinder 514 is connected to the upper cutter 512 to drive the upper cutter 512 to slide downward along the cutter bracket 511, so that the upper cutter 512 and the lower cutter 513 cooperate to cut the carrier tape or the empty carrier tape.

[0098] Specifically, there are two cutters 51, which are arranged side by side along the first direction, one of which is arranged opposite to the first position and can cut the carrier tape and the empty carrier tape connected to the head of the carrier tape. The other cutter 51 is arranged opposite to the third position and can cut the empty carrier tape connected to the tail of the carrier tape.

[0099] Two cutting machines 51 are installed side by side in the first direction at the middle of the workbench of the carrier tape disassembling and packaging machine, and are respectively located at the ends of the first carrier tape conveying track and the second carrier tape conveying track, so as to facilitate cutting of the carrier tape or the empty carrier tape.

[0100] It should be noted that the position where the cutter 51 cuts the carrier tape is defined as the cutting position, and the position where the carrier tape and the empty carrier tape are butt-bonded is defined as the butt-bonding position. Since the cutting position is close to or the same as the butt-bonding position, in order to avoid the cutter 51 interfering with the first mechanical arm 62 pasting the tape, the cutter 51 is slidably arranged on the corresponding second slide rail 53. The cutter 51 has a working position and an avoidance position on the second slide rail 53. The cutting drive member 52 is a servo motor, and the output shaft of the cutting drive member 52 is connected to the cutter 51 so that the cutter 51 switches back and forth between the working position and the avoidance position. That is, when the first mechanical arm 62 bonds the tape between the carrier tape and the empty carrier tape, the cutter 51 slides along the second slide rail 53 to the avoidance position; when it is necessary to cut the carrier tape or the empty carrier tape, the cutter 51 slides along the second slide rail 53 to the working position.

[0101] In order to ensure the precise docking and cutting of the carrier tape and the empty carrier tape, the carrier tape splitting and packaging machine also includes a detection module, which is used to confirm the cutting position of the carrier tape on the mother tray 23, the docking position of the empty carrier tape of the first material tray 81 and the head of the carrier tape of the mother tray 23, and the docking position of the empty carrier tape of the second material tray 82 and the tail of the carrier tape of the transfer and receiving shaft 45.

[0102] Specifically, the detection module includes a cylinder 514 and an image control unit, and the piston rod of the cylinder 514 is connected to the image control unit in a transmission manner. The piston rod of the cylinder 514 extends, and the image control unit moves to the top of the cutting position or the docking position to confirm whether the cutting position is accurate and whether the distance between the docked carrier tape and the empty carrier tape reaches a preset value. The image control unit takes images of the cutting position and the docking position for analysis. When the image control unit completes the shooting, the piston rod of the cylinder 514 retracts to prevent the image control unit from affecting the first mechanical arm 62 from bonding the tape.

[0103] In this embodiment, there are two detection modules, which are arranged adjacent to the cutting machines 51 on the workbench in a one-to-one correspondence.

[0104] Preferably, a light source 54 is provided above the cutter support 511 of the cutting machine 51 to increase the photographing brightness of the graphic control unit, so that the photographed graphics are clearer, which is beneficial to improving the accuracy of the detection unit.

[0105] Now combined Figure 1-Figure 6 The working steps of the carrier tape splitting and packaging machine are described in detail. The specific steps are as follows:

[0106] 1) Adjust the width of the carrier tape conveyor track 1. Install the mother tray 23, the sub-tray 34, the first material tray 81 and the second material tray 82 wound with the carrier tape at the designated positions on the carrier tape unpacking and packaging machine. According to the width of the carrier tape on the mother tray 23, adjust the spacing between the fixed rails 11 and the movable rails 12 on the four carrier tape conveyor tracks 1 so that the carrier tape matches the slideway. It should be noted that the width of the carrier tape and the empty carrier tape are equal.

[0107] 2) The empty carrier tape is bonded to the head of the carrier tape. The carrier tape of the mother disc 23 is manually transferred to the first carrier tape conveying track, and the index hole of the carrier tape is inserted into the ratchet teeth of the ratchet 181, and the pressure roller 182 presses the carrier tape against the ratchet 181. The carrier tape is then wound around the drive wheel 131 along the slideway, the second drive member 132 is started, the mother disc 23 begins to unwind, and the drive wheel 131 drives the carrier tape to slide along the slideway to the docking position. At the same time, the mounting table 41 slides to the first position along the first slide rail 42, and the third carrier tape conveying track is arranged opposite to the first carrier tape conveying track. The empty carrier tape of the first material tray 81 passes through the avoidance hole 411 on the mounting table 41 and slides into the third carrier tape conveying track, and slides to the docking position through the third carrier tape conveying track. At this time, the drive wheels 131 on the first carrier tape conveying track and the third carrier tape conveying track stop rotating.

[0108] 3) Detection by the detection module. There is a gap between the carrier tape of the mother tray 23 and the empty carrier tape of the first material tray 81, the piston rod of the cylinder 514 extends, and the image control unit moves to the top of the docking position to confirm whether the gap between the carrier tape and the empty carrier tape at the docking position reaches the preset value. If the preset value is not reached, the driving wheel 131 on the first carrier tape conveying track and / or the third carrier tape conveying track rotates to adjust the gap between the carrier tape and the empty carrier tape to reach the preset value.

[0109] 4) Gluing the carrier tape head: When the gap between the carrier tape and the empty carrier tape at the docking position is adjusted to a preset value, the first tape cutter 61 cuts the tape to a predetermined length, and the first robotic arm 62 grabs the tape and glues it between the carrier tape and the empty carrier tape.

[0110] 5) Cutting the head empty carrier tape. After the tape bonding is completed, the mother plate 23 rotates in the opposite direction to recycle a certain length of the carrier tape, so as to drive the empty carrier tape at the head of the carrier tape to the first carrier tape conveying track.

[0111] 6) Inspection module inspection and cutting. The piston rod of the air cylinder 514 extends, and the image control unit moves above the cutting position to take an image of the cutting position for position confirmation. After the cutting position is confirmed, the corresponding cutting machine 51 moves to the working position and completes the cutting operation on the empty carrier tape to ensure that the empty carrier tape at the head of the carrier tape on the mother disk 23 is the set number, so that the head of the carrier tape has sufficient buffer.

[0112] 7) The transfer receiving shaft 45 is wound. The mounting platform 41 slides along the first slide rail 42 to the second position, and the fourth carrier tape conveying track corresponding to the transfer receiving shaft 45 is arranged opposite to the first carrier tape conveying track. The carrier tape with an empty carrier tape bonded to the head is wound around the transfer receiving shaft 45 through the fourth carrier tape conveying track, and the transfer driving member 43 is started, and the transfer receiving shaft 45 is wound. During the winding process, the transfer lifting rod 44 drives the transfer receiving shaft 45 to rise in the vertical direction, so that the winding angle of the transfer receiving shaft 45 remains horizontal.

[0113] At the same time, the counting sensor 19 on the first carrier conveying track counts. When the number of carrier unwindings on the mother disk 23 reaches the specified value, the detection process of the detection module in step 6) is repeated to confirm the cutting position. After the cutting position is confirmed, the corresponding cutting machine 51 moves to the working position to complete the cutting operation on the carrier.

[0114] 8) Gluing the tail of the carrier tape. The mounting platform 41 slides along the first slide rail 42 to the third position, the fourth carrier tape conveyor track corresponding to the transfer material receiving shaft 45 is arranged opposite to the second carrier tape conveyor track, the transfer material receiving shaft 45 is unwound, the tail of the carrier tape slides along the fourth carrier tape conveyor track to the docking position, and the empty carrier tape of the second material tray 82 slides to the docking position through the second carrier tape conveyor track. At this time, the driving wheels 131 on the second carrier tape conveyor track and the fourth carrier tape conveyor track stop rotating.

[0115] 9) Another detection module repeats step 3) to confirm whether the gap between the carrier tape and the empty carrier tape at the docking position reaches the preset value. If it does not reach the preset value, the driving wheel 131 on the second carrier tape conveying track and / or the fourth carrier tape conveying track rotates to adjust the gap between the carrier tape and the empty carrier tape to reach the preset value.

[0116] 10) Gluing the tail of the carrier tape: repeat step 4), the first tape cutter 61 cuts the tape to a predetermined length, and the first robot arm 62 grabs the tape and glues it between the tail of the carrier tape and the empty carrier tape.

[0117] 11) Cutting the empty carrier tape at the tail. After the tape bonding is completed, the transfer and receiving shaft 45 rotates in the opposite direction to recycle a certain length of the carrier tape, so as to drive the empty carrier tape at the tail of the carrier tape to the fourth carrier tape conveying track.

[0118] 12) Inspection module inspection and cutting. Repeat step 6), the piston rod of the cylinder 514 of another inspection module extends, and the image control unit moves to the top of the cutting position to take an image of the cutting position for position confirmation. After the cutting position is confirmed, the corresponding cutting machine 51 moves to the working position and completes the cutting operation of the empty tape. This ensures that the empty tape at the head of the tape on the transfer and receiving shaft 45 is the set number.

[0119] 13) The sub-disk 34 is wound up. The mounting platform 41 slides along the first slide rail 42 to the fourth position, and the fourth carrier conveying track corresponding to the transfer and receiving shaft 45 is arranged opposite to the sub-disk 34. The transfer and receiving shaft 45 unwinds and the sub-disk 34 is wound up. When the sub-disk 34 is wound up, the driving wheel 131 on the fourth carrier conveying track stops rotating.

[0120] 14) Labeling. Take the label from the printer and stick it on the sub-disc 34 to quickly know the number of carrier tapes on each sub-disc 34. Repeat steps 1) to 13) to continue to complete the separation of the carrier tapes of the mother disc 23.

[0121] The carrier tape splitting and packaging machine of the present embodiment realizes the automatic splitting of the mother disc 23 carrier tape, without the need for manual counting and splitting, thereby improving the splitting efficiency, reducing the splitting cost, and being conducive to improving the loading efficiency of the carrier tape.

[0122] In order to prevent the tape on the sub-disk 34 from loosening or slipping, Figure 1 and Figure 7 As shown, the carrier tape unpacking and packaging machine further includes a gluing module 7 , which can stick tape on the reel of the sub-disc 34 , and stick tape on the head of the carrier tape on the sub-disc 34 after the sub-disc 34 is wound up.

[0123] Specifically, the gluing module 7 of this embodiment includes a second tape cutter 71, a three-coordinate platform 72, and a second mechanical arm 73. The second mechanical arm 73 is installed on the three-coordinate platform 72, and through the three-coordinate platform 72, the second mechanical arm 73 can move in three directions, thereby grabbing the tape from the second tape cutter 71 and moving it to the sub-disk 34 for gluing.

[0124] It should be noted that the second tape cutter 71 is installed on the workbench of the carrier tape disassembly and packaging machine and is located on one side of the three-coordinate platform 72 so that the second mechanical arm 73 can grab the tape. The second tape cutter 71 of this embodiment has the same structure and working principle as the first tape cutter 61 and is a mature product, which will not be described in detail here.

[0125] In addition, the three-coordinate platform 72 is a conventional technical means in this field, and the specific structure of the three-coordinate platform 72 is not described in detail.
