[0028] Specifically, to make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention clearer, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0029] A multifunctional wire bonding machine with a clamping heating table includes an adjustable clamping device and a closed-loop feedback heating mechanism located on the adjustable clamping device. The adjustable clamping device includes a worktable 5, on which an adjustable baffle 6 and a pressure claw 7 located on the opposite side of the adjustable baffle 6 are provided. The adjustable baffle 6 is parallel and movable relative to the pressure claw 7, and a fastening screw 15 is provided on the adjustable baffle 6. The closed-loop feedback heating mechanism includes a heating rod 14 and a thermistor 4 respectively provided in the worktable 5.

[0030] Furthermore, the adjustable clamp device also includes a base 12, on which a bracket 13 is fixedly mounted. The top of the bracket 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the worktable 5. A pressure rod 9 is hinged to the bracket 13 near the pressure claw 7. The upper end of the pressure rod 9 extends to the pressure claw 7 and is fixedly connected to the pressure claw 7. The lower end of the pressure rod 9 extends to the outside of the base 12. A return mechanism is provided between the lower end of the pressure rod 9 and the base 12.

[0031] Furthermore, the upper end face of the bracket 13 is screwed to the bottom surface of the workbench 5, the lower end face of the bracket 13 is screwed to the upper end face of the base 12, and the pressure rod 9 is connected to the side of the bracket 13 via a shaft pin 11.

[0032] Furthermore, a spring 10 is installed between the lower end of the pressure rod 9 and the base 12.

[0033] Furthermore, the worktable 5 has a first deep hole and a second deep hole on the side away from the pressure claw 7. The heating rod 14 is inserted into the first deep hole of the worktable 5, and a locking device is provided on the side of the heating rod 14. The thermistor 4 is assembled in the second deep hole.

[0034] Furthermore, a thermally conductive silicone grease layer is provided on the outer surface of the heating rod 14, which fills the gap between the heating rod 14 and the first deep hole. A channel for arranging a locking member is provided on the side of the first deep hole where the heating rod 14 is assembled. The locking member is a set screw 3, and the top end of the set screw 3 abuts against the outer wall of the thermally conductive silicone grease layer of the heating rod 14.

[0035] Furthermore, the thermistor 4 is connected to the control unit of the wire bonding machine.

[0036] Furthermore, a protective mechanism is fitted on the outer side of the workbench 5. The protective mechanism includes a protective liner 2, which has a gap with the workbench 5. A heat-insulating liner 1 is provided on the outer wall of the protective liner 2.

[0037] Furthermore, a push rod 8 is fixedly connected to the outside of the pressure rod 9, and the free end of the push rod 8 extends to the outside of the heat insulation liner 1.

[0038] Furthermore, multiple through holes are made on the support arm of the support 13.

[0039] The worktable 5 is made of H62 copper alloy with high thermal conductivity to ensure temperature uniformity. The surface of the worktable 5 is coated with a WC-CoCr coating using a thermal spraying process to improve its wear resistance. In the adjustable clamping device, the base 12 is moved by the operator to find the optimal working position. The selected material is POM engineering plastic, which combines the rigidity of metal with the low thermal conductivity and good insulation of plastic, while also possessing good thermal stability. The adjustable baffle 6 can slide linearly along the rotation direction of the pressure claw 7 on the worktable 5. The worktable 5 has a movement direction limit design to accommodate the installation of chip substrates of different sizes. In the closed-loop feedback heating mechanism, the heating rod 14 has a power of 200W, with a maximum heating temperature of 200℃. Using a PID algorithm combined with an adaptive algorithm, the temperature control accuracy can reach ±0.1℃. Furthermore, the control unit uses PID control to keep the worktable 5 in a constant temperature state, forming a closed-loop heating system. The protective liner 2 has a 15mm gap with the workbench 5, which is used for heat insulation by air.

[0040] As shown in the figure, the multifunctional wire bonding machine with a clamping heating table of the present invention is mainly divided into two modules: an adjustable clamping device and a closed-loop feedback heating mechanism. The adjustable clamping device mainly consists of an adjustable baffle plate 6, a worktable 5, pressure claws 7, pressure rods 9, push rods 8, a bracket 13, and a base 12. The upper end face of the bracket 13 is connected to the bottom surface of the worktable 5 with screws, and the lower end face of the bracket 13 is connected to the upper end face of the base 12 with screws. The pressure rod 9 is connected to the side of the bracket 13 through a shaft pin 11, providing the pressure rod 9 with rotational freedom around the shaft pin 11. A spring 10 is installed between the pressure rod 9 and the base 12 to provide preload force for the pressure rod 9, so that the pressure claws 7 connected to the pressure rod 9 can press the substrate material in a natural state. The push rod 8 is threadedly connected to the pressure rod 9, extending the rotational arm. The adjustable baffle plate 6 is placed on the worktable 5 and, together with the pressure claws 7, fixes the two sides of the substrate to achieve reliable fixation of the substrate material.

[0041] The closed-loop feedback heating mechanism maintains a stable operating temperature for the worktable 5 over a long period, ensuring bonding quality. As shown in the figure, the heating rod 14 is inserted into a deep hole on one side of the worktable 5. Thermal grease (layer) is applied to the outer surface of the heating rod 14 to ensure no air gap between it and the deep hole on one side of the worktable 5. It is secured with set screws 3 on the side. As shown in the figure, the thermistor 4 is installed in a deep hole on the other side of the worktable 5. The heating rod 14 and the thermistor 4 are positioned on both sides of the worktable 5. The heating rod 14 heats the entire worktable, while the thermistor 4 provides real-time temperature feedback to the control unit. The control unit maintains the worktable 5 at a constant temperature, forming a closed-loop heating system. A protective liner 2 surrounds the worktable 5 with a certain gap, using air for insulation. The outermost layer is an insulating liner 1 to prevent burns.

[0042] As shown in the figure, in order to achieve the effect of rapid cooling, the support arm of the bracket 13 has many through holes to increase air circulation, quickly remove heat, and minimize the amount of heat from the workbench 5 that is transferred to the base 12.

[0043] The specific workflow of this invention is as follows: First, take a substrate A to be bonded, loosen the two fastening screws 15 of the adjustable baffle plate 6, gently press down the push rod 8, causing the pressure claw 7 to rotate at an angle around the pivot 11, loosen the pressure claw 7, place the substrate A on the upper surface of the worktable 5 (between the adjustable baffle plate 6 and the pressure claw 7), bringing one side close to the pressure claw 7, loosen the pressure rod 9, and the pressure claw 7 returns to its initial position under the preload of the spring 10, pressing down on one side of the substrate A; move the adjustable baffle plate 6 along... Figure 3 The two slides shown are aligned with the other side of substrate A. Once substrate A is firmly pressed and will not shift due to appropriate force, tighten the two fastening screws 15. If the size of the next substrate is the same as the previous one, simply press the push rod 8 lightly to release the pressure claw 7 and remove the previous substrate. Place the new (next) substrate along the pressing edge of the adjustable baffle 6, release the push rod 8, and the pressure claw 7 will press the other side of the substrate. If the size of the next substrate is different, repeat the previous process: loosen the fastening screws 15, readjust the position of the adjustable baffle 6, fix substrate A, and manually move the base 12 to the appropriate position for subsequent bonding processes.

[0044] The above description represents the preferred embodiments of the present invention. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
