[0029] Next, in combination with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners, the present application will be further described. It should be noted that, on the premise of no conflict, the following-described embodiments or technical features can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments

[0030] This embodiment provides a feeding and assembly device for chip cups and chip boxes, which is used to assemble chip cups on chip boxes. It has the advantages of saving manpower and high automation, and can effectively improve the assembly efficiency of chip cups and chip boxes

[0031] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 , the feeding and assembly device for chip cups and chip boxes of the present application includes: a chip box handling device 1, a chip cup feeding device 2, and a chip cup assembly device 3, and may further include an assembly discharging device 4

[0032] The chip cup feeding device 2 includes: a chip cup feeding mechanism 21 and a chip cup grouping mechanism 22. The chip cup feeding mechanism 21 is connected to the chip cup grouping mechanism 22 to send chip cups to the chip cup grouping mechanism 22, and the chip cup grouping mechanism 22 is used to group and arrange chip cups

[0033] The chip cup assembly device 3 is arranged adjacent to the chip cup grouping mechanism 22 to pick up the grouped chip cups from the chip cup grouping mechanism 22 and place the chip cups in the chip box of the chip box handling device 1

[0034] With the above structure, the feeding and assembling device for the chip cup and the chip box can automatically complete the automatic feeding of the chip cup and the automatic assembling of the chip cup and the chip box in a set of equipment. Compared with manual handling and assembling, its automation degree is higher, and the feeding and assembling device for the chip cup and the chip box improves the assembling efficiency of the chip cup and the chip box.

[0035] Specifically, please refer to Figure 2 , in order for the chip cup grouping mechanism 22 to achieve the effect of automatically grouping the chip cups and facilitating the chip cup assembling device 3 to pick up the chip cups in groups according to the capacity of the chip box, the above chip cup grouping mechanism 22 is provided with a chip cup transfer component 221 and a chip cup grouping component 222. The chip cup transfer component 221 is connected to the chip cup feeding mechanism 21 and receives the chip cups sent out by the chip cup feeding mechanism 21. At least one chip cup accommodating part 22211 is provided on the chip cup grouping component 222. The chip cup transfer component 221 transfers the chip cups into the chip cup accommodating part 22211 of the chip cup grouping component 222. The chip cup assembling device 3 is used to pick up the chip cups from the chip cup grouping component 222 and place the chip cups into the chip box.

[0036] In a specific embodiment, sensors (not shown) can be provided on each chip cup accommodating part 22211 to detect whether the chip cup accommodating part 22211 is empty. For example, a plurality of empty chip cup accommodating parts 22211 arranged in a row can be detected sequentially from the chip cup accommodating part 22211 on either side by the sensors. If an empty chip cup accommodating part 22211 is detected, the chip cup transfer component 221 transfers the chip cups into the chip cup accommodating part 22211 of the chip cup grouping component 222 until the empty chip cup accommodating part 22211 is filled. When the chip cup accommodating part 22211 is filled with chip cups according to the grouping quantity, the chip cup assembling device 3 picks up the chip cups from the chip cup accommodating part 22211 of the chip cup grouping component 222 and places the chip cups into the chip box.

[0037] With the above structure, through the chip cup grouping mechanism 22, the appropriate number of chip cups can be automatically grouped according to the planned accommodation quantity of the chip box for the chip cups, which facilitates the chip cup assembling device 3 to pick up multiple chip cups at one time, saves the time for subsequent assembling of the chip cups and the chip box, and thus improves the assembling efficiency of the chip cup and the chip box.

[0038] To achieve the effect that the chip cups can be quickly transferred from the feeding mechanism to the empty chip cup accommodating part 22211 during the automatic grouping process of the chip cups, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3, in this embodiment, the chip cup transfer assembly 221 further includes a chip cup receiver 2211, a chip cup pusher block 2212, and a pusher cylinder 2213. The chip cup receiver 2211 is connected to the chip cup feeding mechanism 21 and receives the chip cups sent out by the chip cup feeding mechanism 21. The pusher cylinder 2213 is connected to the chip cup pusher block 2212 to drive the telescopic movement of the chip cup pusher block 2212. The chip cup pusher block 2212 is disposed adjacent to the chip cup receiver 2211 to push the chip cups into the chip cup accommodating portion 22211 of the chip cup grouping assembly 222.

[0039] With the above structure, when the sensor detects that the corresponding chip cup accommodating portion 22211 is empty, the pusher cylinder 2213 acts on the chip cup pusher block 2212 with a thrust force to push the chip cups transferred from the chip cup feeding mechanism 21 to the chip cup receiver 2211 into the above-mentioned empty chip cup accommodating portion 22211. The chip cup transfer assembly 221 realizes the function of quickly transferring the chip cups from the feeding mechanism to the chip cup grouping module 2221, shortening the time for chip cup grouping.

[0040] To achieve the accurate transfer of the chip cups from the chip cup feeding mechanism 21 to the chip cup accommodating portion 22211 during the automatic chip cup grouping process, please continue to refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 , in this embodiment, the chip cup grouping assembly 222 may further be provided with a chip cup grouping module 2221, a grouping moving guide rail 2222, and a grouping moving cylinder 2223. At least one chip cup accommodating portion 22211 is provided on the chip cup grouping module 2221. The grouping moving cylinder 2223 is used to drive the chip cup grouping module 2221 to move along the grouping moving guide rail 2222. After the chip cup grouping module 2221 moves, the chip cup transfer assembly 221 transfers the chip cups into the chip cup accommodating portion 22211 of the chip cup grouping module 2221.

[0041] With the above structure, when more than one chip cup accommodating portion 22211 is provided, if the sensor detects an empty chip cup accommodating portion 22211, the grouping moving cylinder 2223 can drive the chip cup grouping module 2221 to move along the grouping moving guide rail 2222, so as to facilitate the chip cup transfer assembly 221 to transfer the chip cups into the chip cup accommodating portion 22211 of the chip cup grouping module 2221. When all the chip cup accommodating portions 22211 are filled with chip cups, the chip cup assembling device 3 picks up the chip cups from the chip cup accommodating portions 22211 of the chip cup grouping assembly 222 and places the chip cups in the chip box.

[0042] Thus, when the chip cup accommodating part 22211 is empty, the chip cup grouping module 2221, the grouping moving guide rail 2222 and the grouping moving cylinder 2223 can accurately transfer the chip cup from the chip cup feeding mechanism 21 to the chip cup accommodating part 22211. The chip cup grouping assembly 222 realizes the effect of accurately transferring the chip cup from the feeding mechanism to the chip cup grouping module 2221, which is convenient for the next pick-up of the chip cup assembling device 3.

[0043] Of course, in other alternative embodiments, the above-mentioned pushing cylinder 2213 and the grouping moving cylinder 2223 can adopt driving members such as electric cylinders, which is not limited thereto.

[0044] To achieve the purpose of automatically transferring the chip cup to the chip cup grouping mechanism 22 for grouping, please refer to Figure 2 and the chip cup feeding mechanism 21 can include a vibrating disk 211 and a feeding trough 212. In this embodiment, the vibrating disk 211 is used to hold and send out the chip cup, and the feeding trough 212 is connected to the vibrating disk 211 to receive the chip cup sent out by the vibrating disk 211 and send out the chip cup one by one.

[0045] The feeding trough 212 can be set such that the end close to the chip cup grouping mechanism 22 is lower than the end close to the vibrating disk 211, which is convenient for the chip cup adjusted to the required posture by the vibrating disk 211 to slide to the chip cup grouping mechanism 22, achieving the effect of automatic feeding of the chip cup; of course, in other alternative embodiments, the feeding trough 212 can also be set to include a linear feeder or a synchronous belt feeder. When a linear feeder or a synchronous belt feeder is set, the length of the feeding trough 212 can be better controlled, making up for the deficiency that the vibrating disk 211 can only adjust the posture of the chip cup but cannot send the already arranged chip cup to the chip cup grouping mechanism 22 over a long distance; sensors can be set on the linear feeder or the synchronous belt feeder to control the supply speed of the chip cup according to the progress of the chip cup grouping by the chip cup grouping mechanism 22, avoiding disorderly feeding.

[0046] Therefore, through the above-mentioned chip cup feeding mechanism 21, the chip cups can be automatically, orderly and directionally arranged, and the chip cups can be accurately conveyed to the chip cup grouping mechanism 22. Compared with manual feeding, the automatic feeding of the chip cup feeding mechanism 21 has the advantages of fast speed, accuracy and smoothness.

[0047] Specifically, please refer to Figure 4, the chip cup assembling device 3 may include a chip cup picking component 31, a chip cup transfer bracket 32, a chip cup translation guide rail 33, a chip cup translation driving component, a chip cup lifting guide rail 34 and a chip cup lifting driving component. The chip cup translation guide rail 33 is arranged on the chip cup transfer bracket 32, the chip cup lifting guide rail 34 is arranged on the chip cup translation guide rail 33, the chip cup picking component 31 is arranged on the chip cup lifting guide rail 34. The chip cup translation driving component drives the chip cup lifting guide rail 34 to move along the chip cup translation guide rail 33, and the chip cup lifting driving component drives the chip cup picking component 31 to lift along the chip cup lifting guide rail 34.

[0048] When the chip cup is pushed into the chip cup accommodating part 22211, the chip cup picking component 31 above the chip cup accommodating part 22211 is driven by the chip cup lifting driving component to move up and down to pick up the chip cup, and the chip cup translation driving component drives the chip cup lifting guide rail 34 to move along the chip cup translation guide rail 33 to the upper part of the chip box handling device 1. The picked-up chip cup is driven by the chip cup picking component 31 through the chip cup lifting driving component to move up and down to be placed in the chip box of the chip box handling device 1, which is convenient for the assembling and blanking device 4 to pick up the chip box assembled with chips, chip handles and chip cups from the chip box handling device 1 and transfer it to a preset area. Therefore, by setting the chip cup assembling device 3, the functions of automatically picking up the chip cup and automatically assembling it into the chip box are achieved.

[0049] In a specific embodiment, for facilitating the picking, transferring, and placing of the chip cups, the chip cup picking component 31 may be a cylinder-type manipulator, which has the advantages of accurate positioning and good rigidity. The chip cup translation driving component and the chip cup lifting driving component may be driven by a linear motor, a reduction motor driving a synchronous belt through a synchronous pulley, or a motor driving a lead screw through a coupling, etc. The chip cup translation driving component and the chip cup lifting driving component are preferably driven by a linear motor. Compared with a reduction motor driving a synchronous belt through a synchronous pulley or a motor driving a lead screw through a coupling, etc., the linear motor drive does not need to convert rotation into linear motion, and the mechanical structure is simple and reliable. In the system driven by a linear motor, some mechanical transmission parts with relatively large response time constants, such as lead screws, are directly eliminated. Since components such as the transmission lead screw are eliminated, mechanical friction during operation is reduced, and the supporting guide rail of the linear motor drive can adopt a rolling guide rail or a magnetic pad suspension guide rail to achieve the effect of no mechanical contact between the linear motor drive and the guide rail, greatly improving the dynamic response performance of the entire closed-loop control system, and the reaction is extremely sensitive and fast. Due to the absence of an intermediate transmission link, the energy loss during mechanical friction is eliminated, and it is more energy-efficient. The linear motor drive can be controlled by linear position detection feedback to improve the positioning accuracy, and at the same time improve its transmission stiffness, having the advantages of fast speed, short acceleration and deceleration processes, and unrestricted stroke length.

[0050] Specifically, please refer to Figure 5 , the chip cassette handling device 1 may include a handling guide rail 11, a handling driving component, and a handling component 12; the handling guide rail 11 extends to the chip cup assembling device 3, the handling component 12 is disposed on the handling guide rail 11, and the handling driving component drives the handling component 12 to move along the handling guide rail 11.

[0051] The chip cassette handling device 1 may be provided with a sensing device for sensing the handling state of the chip cassette and the operating state of the chip cassette handling device 1. The provided sensing device may be a photoelectric switch. After the chip cassette is placed on the chip cassette handling component 12, the provided photoelectric switch will detect the presence of a chip cassette, and drive the assembling clamping block 122 to act through the assembling clamping cylinder 123 to clamp the chip cassette. After the action of the assembling clamping cylinder 123 driving the assembling clamping block 122 to clamp the chip cassette is completed, the handling driving component drives the chip cassette placed on the chip cassette handling component 12 to the target station, facilitating the chip cup assembling device 3 to pick up the chip cup from the chip cup feeding device 2 and place the chip cup in the chip cassette of the chip cassette handling device 1. When the provided photoelectric switch detects that a chip cup is placed in the chip cassette, the handling driving drives the handling component 12 to transfer the assembled chip cassette and chip cup to the next station, facilitating the assembling blanking device 4 to pick up the chip cassette assembled with a chip, a chip handle, and a chip cup from the chip cassette handling device 1 and transfer it to a preset area.

[0052] The handling drive assembly can be driven by a linear motor, a reduction motor driving a synchronous belt through a synchronous pulley, or a motor driving a lead screw through a coupling, etc. Preferably, it is driven by a linear motor. Compared with a reduction motor driving a synchronous belt through a synchronous pulley or a motor driving a lead screw through a coupling, etc., the linear motor drive does not need to convert rotation into linear motion, and the mechanical structure is simple and reliable. In the system driven by a linear motor, some mechanical transmission parts with relatively large response time constants, such as lead screws, are directly eliminated. Since components such as the transmission lead screw are eliminated, this part of mechanical friction is reduced, and the matching guide rail for the linear motor drive can adopt a rolling guide rail or a magnetic pad suspension guide rail, thereby achieving the effect of no mechanical contact between the linear motor drive and the guide rail, greatly improving the dynamic response performance of the entire closed-loop control system and making the reaction extremely sensitive and fast. Due to the absence of an intermediate transmission link, the energy loss during mechanical friction is eliminated, and it is more energy-efficient. The linear motor drive can be controlled by linear position detection feedback to improve the positioning accuracy and at the same time improve its transmission stiffness. It has the advantages of high speed, short acceleration and deceleration processes, and unlimited stroke length.

[0053] Further, please refer to Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the handling assembly 12 may include a handling bracket 121, an assembly clamping block 122, and an assembly clamping cylinder 123. The handling bracket 121 is arranged on the handling guide rail 11. A first chip box accommodating portion 1211 is arranged on the handling bracket 121. The assembly clamping cylinder 123 is arranged on the handling bracket 121. The assembly clamping cylinder 123 is connected to the assembly clamping block 122 to drive the assembly clamping block 122 to move. The assembly clamping block 122 clamps or loosens the chip box in the first chip box accommodating portion 1211. Through the above structure, the effect of stable position during the automatic handling of the chip box is achieved.

[0054] Further, the handling assembly 12 may further include an assembly clamping block transfer block 124. One end of the assembly clamping block transfer block 124 is connected to the assembly clamping cylinder 123. A through hole for the assembly clamping block transfer block 124 to move through is arranged below the first chip box accommodating portion 1211 of the handling bracket 121. The assembly clamping block 122 is connected to the other end of the assembly clamping block transfer block 124 and is located on one side of the first chip box accommodating portion 1211.

[0055] In the current process step, the chip cassette is placed on the first chip cassette accommodating portion 1211 of the chip cassette handling device 1, and the assembly clamping cylinder 123 acts on the assembly clamping block 122 through the provided assembly clamping block transfer block 124, and the assembly clamping block 122 clamps the chip cassette within the first chip cassette accommodating portion 1211. When the device in the subsequent process step picks up the chip cassette with the chip cup installed, the assembly clamping cylinder 123 can act on the assembly clamping block 122 through the provided assembly clamping block transfer block 124, and then the assembly clamping block 122 releases the chip cassette within the first chip cassette accommodating portion 1211. With the above structure, the process of automatically handling the chip cassette can automatically select the effect of clamping or releasing the cup handling assembly 12 according to the situation.

[0056] Specifically, please refer to Figure 1 , the assembly device for the chip cup and the chip cassette further includes a chip and chip handle feeding device and an assembly discharging device 4. The chip and chip handle feeding device is used to place the chip with the chip handle installed into the chip cup within the chip cassette of the chip cassette handling device 1, and the assembly discharging device 4 is used to pick up the chip cassette assembled with the chip, the chip handle, and the chip cup from the chip cassette handling device 1 and transfer it to a preset area. By providing the chip and chip handle feeding device and the assembly discharging device 4, the assembly device for the chip cup and the chip cassette in this embodiment can be combined with other automatic devices, and more automated functions of the chip cup and the chip cassette can be achieved, thereby improving the assembly efficiency of the chip cup and the chip cassette.
