AI Technical Summary
When a robotic arm is subjected to compressive force, the swing arm will rotate at a small angle along its lower end as an axis, causing the suction nozzle to shift vertically, which affects the arrangement accuracy and quality of chip products.
A guiding mechanism, including a guide rod, a return spring, and a guide seat, is used to restrict the nozzle from moving horizontally when pressure is applied, preventing vertical displacement. The cooperation of the guide rod and the return spring ensures that the nozzle returns to its initial position after being subjected to force.
It effectively controls the positional error of the nozzle within a reasonable range, improves the chip arrangement accuracy and product quality, and extends the service life of the nozzle.

TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of semiconductor equipment, and particularly relates to a rotary swing arm pick-and-place device. BACKGROUND
[0002] With the development of light emitting diodes, after a wafer is cut into multiple dies or chips, the dies or chips are classified according to their quality, performance, and product characteristics, so that dies or chips of different grades are applied to different fields. In particular, in the industry of light emitting diodes (LEDs), the luminous brightness, wavelength, color temperature, and operating voltage of diodes will vary slightly due to slight differences in process conditions, and even on the same LED production wafer, there will be slight differences between the dies or chips. As the classification requirements for light emitting diodes become more and more precise, 150 classification items have been developed. In order to improve efficiency, a mechanical arm is generally used for classification. Therefore, the speed of picking and classifying dies or chips directly affects the production speed. In the prior art, an LED chip picking machine must go through several steps such as picking up an LED chip, rotating the LED chip, and placing the LED chip downward, to complete the process of placing the LED chip from a chip carrying surface to a chip attaching surface. Moreover, during the picking and attaching process, the forward and backward displacement of the swing arm will cause a slight displacement of the suction nozzle in the vertical direction, thereby affecting the attaching precision of the chip. As shown in FIG. 1, when the suction nozzle on the rotary swing arm picks up and attaches and places a chip, the suction nozzle will rotate slightly forward and backward (as shown by the arrow in FIG. 2) under the action of vertical pressure, thereby causing displacement of the suction nozzle in the vertical and horizontal directions. Since the vertical displacement error caused by the rotation of the suction nozzle is not easy to be detected during the process of sorting chips, it is often not discovered until the LED chip is placed on the chip attaching surface, at which time it is already impossible to handle, resulting in quality abnormalities. Figure 1 Figure 1 SUMMARY
