Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of inductor processing, and particularly to a chip mounter. Background Technology

[0002] As is well known, in the production of components such as inductors and batteries, it is often necessary to bond sheets such as silicone gaskets to the surface of the workpiece. Currently, mechanical bonding of the sheets and workpieces is typically used. To prevent the sheets from being scratched or damaged during transport, a protective film is usually attached to the surface of the sheets. However, during the bonding process, the protective film usually needs to be manually removed before the sheets can be used, which undoubtedly increases the bonding time and reduces efficiency.

[0039] Reference Figure 1A chip mounter includes: a machine base 100, a conveying mechanism 900, a film separating mechanism 200, a feeding mechanism 400, a bonding mechanism 600, and a unloading mechanism 800. The film separating mechanism 200 includes a feeding table 201 mounted on the machine base 100, on which a separating roller 205 and a cutting assembly 220 are mounted. The two sides of the separating roller 205 abut against the sheet and a protective film, respectively. The conveying mechanism 900 can clamp and convey the cut sheet. The feeding mechanism 400 can move the workpiece to the machine base 100. The conveying mechanism 900 can move the workpiece and the sheet to the bonding mechanism 600, whereby the bonding mechanism 600 can push the workpiece and the sheet to bond them together. The unloading mechanism 800 can move the bonded workpiece away from the machine base 100. The sheet with the protective film enters the feeding table 201 and can be separated from the sheet manually or mechanically and abut against the two sides of the separating roller 205. Subsequently, during the continuous feeding of sheet material, the sheet and protective film are automatically separated by the separating roller 205, allowing them to separate relative to each other at the separating roller 205, thus facilitating the cutting component 220 to cut the sheet. After cutting, the conveying mechanism 900 moves the cut sheet and workpiece to the bonding mechanism 600, where the bonding mechanism 600 bonds the workpiece and sheet together. Then, the unloading mechanism 800 unloads the bonded material. By directly separating the sheet and protective film on the feeding table 201 through the separating roller 205, the sheet can be automatically separated, cut, conveyed, and bonded, thereby effectively improving processing efficiency and reducing the need for manual labor, thus reducing labor and material costs.

[0040] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 6 The film separating mechanism 200 includes a feeding assembly disposed on the feeding table 201. The feeding assembly can drive the sheet to move relative to the feeding table 201 and approach the separating roller 205. After the sheet enters the feeding table 201, the feeding assembly will drive the sheet and the protective film on the sheet to move towards the separating roller 205, so that the separating roller 205 can apply a reverse force to the sheet and the protective film and separate them, thereby directly and effectively achieving the effect of promoting the relative separation of the sheet and the protective film.

[0041] Specifically, one end of the feeding platform 201 is close to the edge of the machine base 100, and the separating roller 205 is located at the other end of the feeding platform 201. When the feeding assembly drives the sheet to move close to the separating roller 205, the separating roller 205 will separate the sheet and the protective film.

[0042] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 6The feeding assembly includes a displacement seat 210 movably mounted on the feeding table 201, and a displacement drive device 215 connected to the displacement seat 210. The displacement seat 210 is equipped with a push cylinder 240 and a push base 245, which can cooperate to clamp the sheet material. The displacement seat 210 can drive the sheet material to move closer to the distributing roller 205. After the displacement drive device 215 is activated, it will drive the displacement seat 210 to move, and the displacement seat 210 will drive the push cylinder 240 and push base 245 to move. The push cylinder 240 and push base 245 will then clamp the sheet material, causing the sheet material to move along with the displacement seat 210, thereby directly and effectively achieving the effect of driving the sheet material to move closer to the distributing roller 205.

[0043] Specifically, the push base 245 is located above the sheet, and the push cylinder 240 is located below the sheet. The push cylinder 240 is connected to a push block and can drive the push block to move closer to the push base 245 and clamp the sheet.

[0044] Furthermore, the machine base 100 is equipped with a feeding roller 203, which is located between the push base 245 and the push block and can guide and convey the sheet material.

[0045] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 6 Multiple dispensing rollers 205 are arranged at one end of the feeding table 201. The feeding assembly can drive the sheet to move closer to the dispensing rollers 205. The multiple dispensing rollers 205 can cooperate in pairs to press the sheet or protective film tightly, and at least one dispensing roller 205 can cooperate with the feeding table 201 to press the sheet or protective film tightly. Usually, in order to effectively protect the sheet, protective films are provided on both sides of the sheet. The multiple dispensing rollers 205 can separate the sheet and the protective film on the top of the sheet, and the sheet and the protective film on the bottom of the sheet, so that the sheet can be smoothly separated from the protective films on both sides, and thus the sheet can be easily picked up.

[0046] Specifically, there are two distributing rollers 205 that abut against each other in the vertical direction. The two distributing rollers 205 work together to clamp the sheet. The lower distributing roller 205 cooperates with the feeding table 201 to press one of the two protective films tightly, while the upper part of the upper distributing roller 205 abuts against the other of the two protective films. Of course, the specific number of distributing rollers 205 is not unique and can be adjusted according to the actual situation, and no limitation is made here.

[0047] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 2The conveying mechanism 900 includes a turntable 500 with a tray 580 mounted on its edge. The turntable 500 drives the tray 580 to reciprocate between the feeding mechanism 400, the bonding mechanism 600, and the unloading mechanism 800. A fixing structure 550 is mounted on the machine base 100 to fix the workpiece within the tray 580. When the turntable 500 rotates, it moves the tray 580 relative to the machine base 100, causing the workpiece on the tray 580 to reciprocate between the feeding mechanism 400, the bonding mechanism 600, and the unloading mechanism 800, enabling fast and efficient chip bonding operations. Furthermore, the turntable 500 provides positioning points for the feeding mechanism 400, the bonding mechanism 600, and the unloading mechanism 800, ensuring the smooth operation of the entire process.

[0048] Specifically, the machine base 100 is equipped with a drive motor 510, which is connected to and drives the turntable 500 to rotate. There are four trays 580 distributed around the center of the turntable 500. Of course, the drive method of the turntable 500 and the number of trays 580 are not unique and can be adjusted according to the actual situation, and no restrictions are imposed here.

[0049] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 3 The fixed structure 550 includes multiple fixed claws 570 hinged to the turntable 500. A drive mechanism 560 is provided on the machine base 100. The drive mechanism 560 is connected to the fixed claws 570 and can drive the fixed claws 570 to rotate and approach the workpiece. After the drive mechanism 560 operates, it can drive the fixed claws 570 to rotate relative to the turntable 500, thereby clamping or releasing the workpiece on the tray 580. This effectively achieves the effect of fixing the workpiece to the tray 580 or releasing it relative to the tray 580, and prevents the workpiece from detaching due to centrifugal force when the turntable 500 rotates.

[0050] Specifically, the drive mechanism 560 includes a motor connected to a rocker arm, which can push the fixed claw 570.

[0051] It is conceivable that the fixing structure 550 can also be composed of other components, such as using magnets (not shown in the figure) to attract the workpiece to the tray 580. Specific implementation methods can be adjusted according to actual needs and are not limited here.

[0052] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 2The machine tool 100 is equipped with a detection mechanism 700. The turntable 500 can drive the tray 580 to move to the detection mechanism 700. The detection mechanism 700 is located between the bonding mechanism 600 and the unloading mechanism 800. The detection mechanism 700 can inspect the workpiece after the bonded sheet is bonded, thereby inspecting the quality of the bonding operation and ensuring that the processed product has higher quality.

[0053] Specifically, the testing mechanism 700 includes a testing cylinder 710, which is connected to multiple testing probes 720 and can drive the testing probes 720 to move closer to or away from the turntable 500.

[0054] It is conceivable that the inspection mechanism 700 could also be composed of other components, such as a CCD vision inspection system (not shown in the figure). Specific implementation methods can be adjusted according to actual needs, and no limitations are imposed here.

[0055] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 4 The bonding mechanism 600 includes a first cylinder 610 mounted on the machine base 100, a second cylinder 620 connected to the first cylinder 610, and a pressing head connected to the second cylinder 620. The first cylinder 610 and the second cylinder 620 cooperate to drive the pressing head to move closer to or away from the turntable 500. The extension and retraction directions of the first cylinder 610 and the second cylinder 620 intersect. The first cylinder 610 and the second cylinder 620 cooperate to drive the pressing head to move in multiple directions, so that the pressing head can move smoothly to the turntable 500 and push the workpiece, thereby allowing the workpiece and the sheet to bond together under the force of the pressing head, and quickly and effectively completing the bonding operation.

[0056] Specifically, the extension and retraction directions of the first cylinder 610 and the second cylinder 620 are staggered. Of course, the first cylinder 610 and the second cylinder 620 can also be arranged in parallel. The specific configuration can be made according to actual needs and is not limited here.

[0057] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 5 The feeding mechanism 400 includes a material frame 410 mounted on the machine base 100. The bottom of the material frame 410 has a discharge port 415 communicating with the turntable 500. The machine base 100 is equipped with a top-loading cylinder 430 and a top-loading component 420. The top-loading cylinder 430 can drive the top-loading component 420 to extend into the material frame 410 and push the workpiece out from the discharge port 415. Unmounted workpieces are stored in the material frame 410. When workpiece feeding is required, the top-loading cylinder 430 will drive the top-loading component 420 to move and extend into the material frame 410 from the bottom, thereby pushing the workpiece located at the bottom of the material frame 410 and pushing it through the discharge port 415. This achieves the effect of moving the workpiece to the turntable 500 and facilitates subsequent surface mount operations.

[0058] Specifically, multiple workpieces are stacked one on top of the other in the vertical direction within the material frame 410, while the top material component 420 extends horizontally into the material frame 410 from its bottom. Of course, the stacking method of the workpieces and the pushing direction of the top material component 420 are not unique and can be adjusted according to the actual situation; no restrictions are imposed here.

[0059] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 7 The conveying mechanism 900 also includes a three-axis displacement platform 310 mounted on the machine base 100. The three-axis displacement platform 310 is connected to a clamping jaw 340, which can drive the clamping jaw 340 to reciprocate between the feed table 201 and the turntable 500. When the three-axis displacement platform 310 drives the clamping jaw 340 to move, it can transport the sheet material from the feed table 201 to the turntable 500, thereby facilitating the subsequent sheet material placement operation.

[0060] In some embodiments, reference is made to Figure 8 The unloading mechanism 800 includes an unloading track 810 connected to the machine base 100. A first transfer cylinder 820 is mounted on the machine base 100, and a second transfer cylinder 830 is connected to the first transfer cylinder 820. The second transfer cylinder 830 is connected to an adsorption gripper 840. The first transfer cylinder 820 drives the adsorption gripper 840 to reciprocate between the turntable 500 and the unloading track 810. The second transfer cylinder 830 drives the adsorption gripper 840 to rise and fall closer to the unloading track 810 or the turntable 500. The first transfer cylinder 820 and the second transfer cylinder 830 drive the adsorption gripper 840 to move between the turntable 500 and the unloading track 810, and the adsorption gripper 840 can grip the workpiece, thereby directly and effectively moving the workpiece to the unloading track 810, and then unloading the workpiece from the unloading track 810, thus completing the unloading operation.

[0061] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0062] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
