[0002] The current semiconductor chip industry has a huge output value and carries enormous economic, technological, and development value in this era. In the chip industry, trays are used for transportation during the production of small chips. On a tray, the chips are densely arranged. In many production processes necessary for chip production, the chips need to be removed from the tray using suction cups for transfer. Since an automated production line in the chip industry generally corresponds to the production of chips of several sizes, trays with standard external dimensions and different internal chip arrangement spacings have been derived. There are two main types of suction cup devices currently used in the industry: the first type uses a fixed suction cup group corresponding to the tray form to suck up the chip; the second type uses a single row of variable-distance suction cups to suck up the chip.

[0003] As mentioned above, the first type uses a fixed suction cup group in the form of a corresponding tray to absorb chips, which is only suitable for the absorption of chips of one size. When the production line switches to chips of different specifications for production, personnel need to manually replace the absorption structure. Chip production companies need to have multiple types of fixed suction cup groups on hand to ensure normal production needs; the second type uses a single-row variable-distance suction cup to absorb chips, realizing the automatic variable distance function on a single row.

[0040] The X-axis variable pitch guide plate 29 is also provided with a plurality of guide grooves for achieving synchronous guidance and limitation of the suction cup assembly.

[0041] In one embodiment of the present invention, see Figure 3 The guide assembly is symmetrically arranged in two groups on the substrate 25, and the guide assembly includes a suction cup group Y-axis variable pitch guide column 13 and a suction cup group Y-axis variable pitch guide linear bearing 14.

[0043] In one embodiment of the present invention, see Figure 3 The drive assembly includes a Y-axis variable pitch servo motor 10 and a transmission member 9. The Y-axis variable pitch servo motor 10 is installed on the support plate 27.

When the Y-axis variable pitch servo motor 10 is working, it drives the two sets of Y-axis variable pitch transmission screws 11 to rotate synchronously, so that the spacing between the two adjacent sets of Y-axis suction cup variable pitch structures can be increased or reduced by the same distance at the same time.

[0045] In one embodiment of the present invention, see Figure 1-Figure 7 The suction cup assembly includes a suction cup mounting plate 21, an air pipe adapter assembly 22, a guide bearing 19, and a suction cup 23. The suction cup mounting plate 21 is connected to the suction cup structure fixing plate 16 through the X-axis variable pitch suction cup structure guide linear guide 15. The guide bearing 19 is placed in a corresponding guide groove on the X-axis variable pitch guide plate 29. The suction cup 23 is connected to the suction cup mounting plate 21 through a suction cup spring rod 20. The air pipe adapter assembly 22 is arranged on the suction cup spring rod 20. The air pipe adapter assembly 22 includes a T-type air pipe connector 17 and a Y-type air pipe connector 18.

[0046] The X-axis pitch change assembly includes a lifting plate 26, a mounting plate 28, an X-axis pitch change servo motor 2 and an X-axis pitch change transmission screw 4. The mounting plate 28 is mounted on the support plate 27 through the X-axis pitch change mechanism guide column 3. The lifting plate 26 and the X-axis pitch change mechanism guide column 3 are connected through the X-axis pitch change mechanism linear bearing 8. The X-axis pitch change transmission screw 4 is mounted on the mounting plate 28, and the X-axis pitch change transmission screw 4 is connected to the lifting plate 26 through a screw nut. The X-axis pitch change servo motor 2 is used to drive the X-axis pitch change transmission screw 4 to rotate.

[0047] In this embodiment, the X-axis variable pitch servo motor 2 drives the X-axis variable pitch transmission screw 4 to rotate, thereby adjusting the working height of the lifting plate 26; the diameter of the suction cup 23 is 5 mm, and the spring part of the suction cup spring rod 20 is movable to accommodate the suction of trays 24 and chips 30 of different thicknesses. Two locking nuts are used in the middle of the suction cup spring rod 20 to fix it on the suction cup mounting plate 21. The guide bearing 19 installed on the upper end of the suction cup mounting plate 21 corresponds to the guide groove on the X-axis variable pitch guide plate 29. When the X-axis variable pitch servo motor 2 drives the X-axis variable pitch transmission screw 4 to lift the height of the X-axis variable pitch guide plate 29 fixed on the lifting plate 26 through the X-axis variable pitch guide plate fixed linear guide rail 7, the suction cup assembly is dual-guided by the X-axis variable pitch guide plate 29 and the X-axis variable pitch suction cup structure guiding linear guide rail 15. The suction cup assembly can only move equidistantly in the X-axis direction, thereby realizing synchronous spacing adjustment of the suction cup 23.

[0048] When the suction cup mechanism is operating normally, the other supporting equipment will lift the tray 24 until the suction cup 23 contacts the chip surface. After the suction cup 23 absorbs the chip 30 from the tray 24, the tray 24 falls. The suction cup mechanism needs to move horizontally to the top of the empty tray 24 that needs to be transferred. After the supporting equipment lifts the empty tray 24 into place, the vacuum generator back-blows, so that the chip 30 quickly detaches from the suction cup 23 and falls into the chip groove of the empty tray 24. The linear motor 5 of the suction cup mechanism provides the suction cup mechanism with horizontal movement power. The suction cup mechanism has a fast horizontal movement speed and high movement stability, which meets the high beat requirements of the chip industry.

[0049] Working principle: By rotating two sets of Y-axis variable pitch transmission screws 11, the spacing between two adjacent sets of Y-axis suction cup variable pitch structures can be simultaneously increased or decreased by the same distance. The working position of the suction cup assembly on the main frame 1 can be easily adjusted by moving the assembly horizontally, thereby improving the practicality of the device. The synchronous spacing adjustment of the suction cup assemblies installed on the Y-axis suction cup variable pitch structure can be achieved through the X-axis variable pitch assembly.

[0050] The X-axis variable pitch servo motor 2 drives the X-axis variable pitch transmission screw 4 to rotate, so as to adjust the working height of the lifting plate 26; the spring part of the suction cup spring rod 20 is movable to accommodate the suction of trays 24 and chips 30 of different thicknesses; two locking nuts are used in the middle of the suction cup spring rod 20 to be fixed to the suction cup mounting plate 21; the guide bearing 19 installed on the upper end of the suction cup mounting plate 21 corresponds to the guide groove on the X-axis variable pitch guide plate 29; when the X-axis variable pitch servo motor 2 drives the X-axis variable pitch transmission screw 4 to lift the height of the X-axis variable pitch guide plate 29 fixed to the lifting plate 26 by the X-axis variable pitch guide plate fixed linear guide rail 7, the suction cup assembly is dual-guided by the X-axis variable pitch guide plate 29 and the X-axis variable pitch suction cup structure guiding linear guide rail 15; the suction cup assembly can only move equidistantly in the X-axis direction, thereby realizing synchronous spacing adjustment of the suction cup 23;

[0051] When the suction cup mechanism is operating normally, the other supporting equipment will lift the tray 24 until the chip 30 contacts the chip surface. After the suction cup 23 absorbs the chip 30 from the tray 24, the tray 24 falls. The suction cup mechanism needs to move horizontally to the top of the empty tray 24 that needs to be transferred. After the supporting equipment lifts the empty tray 24 into place, the vacuum generator blows back, so that the chip 30 quickly separates from the suction cup 23 and falls into the chip groove of the empty tray 24. The linear motor 5 of the suction cup mechanism provides the suction cup mechanism with horizontal movement power. The suction cup mechanism has a fast horizontal movement speed and high movement stability, which meets the high beat requirements of the chip industry.
