[0060] The structure of a material implanting device provided by the present invention may simply include the following parts: a control part, a feeding part, an implanting part, and a loading part.

[0061] The feeding part is controlled by the control part to realize the feeding of materials; the loading part is used to realize the accommodation of materials, and the loading part includes a plurality of loading positions for accommodating materials; the implanting part 130 is controlled by the control part to implant the materials fed to the implanting part 130 into the loading positions, and the control part controls each loading position to pass under the implanting part 130 in sequence.

[0062] To implement the functions of the material implantation device of the present invention, the above-mentioned implantation part needs to include an implantation material channel, a monitoring component arranged in the implantation material channel, and a vacuum airway communicated with the implantation material channel; the implantation material channel has a feeding position and a loading position; after the material is fed to the feeding position, the control part controls the vacuum airway to move the material at the feeding position to the loading position according to the monitoring information of the material by the monitoring component, and then the control part controls the vacuum airway to release the material at the loading position according to the monitoring information of the material by the monitoring component, so that the material falls into the loading position; the loading position is arranged below the loading position and is correspondingly communicated with the loading position.

[0063] Therefore, the material implantation device proposed by the present invention can realize the automatic implantation and packaging of materials. To illustrate the specific structure of the material implantation device in detail, the following will be combined with Figures 6 to 11 for description.

[0064] In one embodiment, refer to Figure 8 、 Figure 10 and Figure 11 , the implantation part 130 includes an implantation material channel 131, the monitoring component includes a first sensor 132 and a second sensor 133 arranged in the implantation material channel 131, and the vacuum airway includes a blowing airway 134 and a suction airway 135 respectively communicated with the implantation material channel 131; one end of the implantation material channel 131 has an opening, the first sensor 132 is close to the opening, the material is fed into the feeding position of the implantation material channel 131 from the opening and is monitored by the first sensor 132, the blowing port 1341 of the blowing airway 134 is communicated with the implantation material channel 131 and is close to the feeding position; the other end of the implantation material channel 131 is provided with the suction airway 135, the suction port 1351 of the suction airway 135 is arranged at the loading position, a discharge port is arranged below the loading position, the discharge port is a through hole arranged on the channel wall of the implantation material channel 131, the discharge port 136 is correspondingly communicated with the loading position, and the discharge port 136 is arranged below the suction port 1351.

[0065] In one embodiment, when the first sensor 132 monitors the material, the blowing airway 134 blows out vacuum from the blowing port 1341 to blow the material, and at the same time the suction port 1351 adsorbs the material by vacuum, the material is adsorbed to the suction port 1351, the second sensor 133 monitors the material, the suction port 1351 releases the material, and the material falls from the discharge port 136 to the loading position.

[0066] In one embodiment, refer toFigure 10 and Figure 11 The air blowing airway 134 and the air suction airway 135 described in the present invention are an integrally connected vacuum airway, which can be understood as a vacuum airway for air blowing, or can be understood as a vacuum airway for air suction. Figure 11 The arrow direction in indicates the air flow direction in the vacuum airway. It can be regarded as an entire air suction airway, or can be regarded as an entire air blowing airway, or can be regarded as an air blowing airway for blowing air into the implant material channel and an air suction airway for sucking air into the implant material channel. When the whole is a vacuum airway for air blowing, the material 200 is blown to the loading position by the vacuum thrust and is blocked at the loading position by the channel wall. When the vacuum airway stops blowing air, the material is released and the material falls from the discharge port 136 into the receiving groove 320 of the carrier tape; when the whole is a vacuum airway for air suction, the material 200 is adsorbed to the loading position by the vacuum suction force and is adsorbed at the loading position (the suction port is arranged at the loading position). When the vacuum airway stops sucking air, the material is released and the material falls from the discharge port 136 into the receiving groove 320 of the carrier tape.

[0067] In one embodiment, the carrier tape 300 is inclined and arranged below the implanting part 130, as shown in Figure 10 and Figure 11 The carrier tape is inclined towards the feeding position. Therefore, an air gap is formed between the upper surface of the carrier tape and the discharge port on the implant material channel. This air gap can assist in pressure relief. During the process of the material falling from the discharge port, the implant material channel inhales external air through the air gap to relieve pressure. While inhaling the external air, the material is pressed into the receiving groove by the gas, accelerating the falling speed of the material and further improving the material implanting speed.

[0068] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 6 The feeding part may include a turntable 120 and a motor (not shown) for driving the turntable 120 to rotate step by step. A plurality of grooves 121 are uniformly arranged on the edge of the turntable 120, and each groove 121 contains a material. The control part controls the motor to drive the turntable 120 to rotate so that each groove 121 communicates with the implant material channel 131 in turn when passing through the implant material channel 131, and the material in the groove 121 is fed into the implant material channel 131. After the first sensor 132 detects the material, the control part controls the turntable 120 to stop rotating.

[0069] In one embodiment, when the material is adsorbed to the suction port 1351, the first sensor 132 detects that there is no material at the feeding position of the implant material channel 131, and the control part controls the motor to drive the turntable 120 to rotate so that the next groove 121 is rotated to communicate with the implant material channel 131.

[0070] In one embodiment, the loading part includes a carrier tape 300 and a driving member (not shown) for driving the carrier tape 300 to move step by step. A plurality of receiving grooves 320 are sequentially arranged on the carrier tape 300, and the plurality of receiving grooves 320 are evenly arranged in a row on the carrier tape 300. Each receiving groove 320 forms a loading position of the loading part. The control part controls the driving member to drive the carrier tape 300 to move step by step, so that each receiving groove 320 communicates with the discharge port 136 in turn when passing below the discharge port 136, and the material falling from the discharge port 136 is received in the receiving groove 320, and one piece of the material is received in each receiving groove 320.

[0071] In one embodiment, after the material falls into the receiving groove 320 from the suction port 1351, the change amount of the monitoring value of the material by the second sensor 133 exceeds a preset range, and the control part controls the carrier tape 300 to carry the material and move step by step, so that the next receiving groove 320 to be fed is moved below the discharge port 136.

[0072] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 6 , the turntable 120 can be in the shape of a disc. The turntable 120 rotates along its central axis under the drive of the motor. The groove 121 is a long strip-shaped groove (U-shaped groove) extending from the edge of the disc along the radial direction of the disc to the center of the disc. The groove wall of the long strip-shaped groove includes a first straight section surface and a second straight section surface arranged opposite to each other, and a third straight section surface connecting the first straight section surface and the second straight section surface. The third straight section surface is close to the center position of the disc. The first straight section surface, the second straight section surface and the third straight section surface jointly enclose a semi-surrounding structure for accommodating the material.

[0073] In one embodiment, the third straight section surface is arranged opposite to the opening of the implanting material channel 131, and the material in the groove 121 is fed into the feeding position of the implanting material channel 131 from the opening.

[0074] In one embodiment, referring to Figure 8, the implant material channel 131 is a horizontal implant material channel 131. The first sensor 132 and the second sensor 133 are arranged adjacent to each other in sequence on the top of the implant material channel 131. The blowing port 1341 of the blowing air passage 134 is arranged at the bottom of the implant material channel 131, so as to enable the vacuum blown out from the blowing port 1341 to blow up the materials in the implant material channel 131. The suction port 1351 faces the loading position of the implant material channel 131, and the suction port 1351 is lower than the installation position of the second sensor 133; the loading position and the loading position are respectively arranged opposite to each other at both ends of the horizontal implant material channel, and the materials are moved to the loading position by the vacuum thrust and / or vacuum suction force.

[0075] In summary, the material implanting device of the present invention uses the principle of vacuum suction to realize the adsorption and implantation of materials. Compared with the electromagnets, downward suction nozzles, proximity sensors and other components used in the existing material implanting devices, the implanting device provided by the present invention has a simpler structure. Compared with mechanical action implantation, the vacuum suction implantation has higher action instantaneity, higher implantation efficiency, and there is no situation of mechanical component action damaging the materials, so the safety is higher. Without the participation of redundant mechanical components in the action, the failure rate of the equipment is lower.

[0076] Embodiment 2:

[0077] In the single material feeding device of the existing bag testing machine, a separation part is usually provided. This separation part is used to adsorb one of the multiple materials arranged in sequence to a specified position to separate the material from a row of materials. Basically, electromagnets and separation needles are used to separate the materials, and the continuous action of this mechanical mechanism is used to realize material separation. However, with the increase of market demand, equipment speed increase has become an urgent problem to be solved, and the execution speed of this mechanical structure has become the bottleneck of equipment speed increase. Moreover, the electromagnets, separation needles, proximity sensors, etc. used in the existing separation part are all consumables, and the overall maintenance cost of the equipment is relatively high. Action errors or accidents cannot be avoided during the mechanical action process of the equipment. When the action of the separation needle is abnormal, it is easier to damage the materials, resulting in quality hidden dangers. To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a material separation device.

[0078] See Figures 1 - 5 , Figure 1 is a three-dimensional structure schematic diagram of the material separation device of the present invention in an embodiment; Figure 2 is Figure 1 a three-dimensional structure perspective view of the shown material separation device; Figure 3 is Figure 1 a plane structure schematic diagram of the separation component in the shown material separation device; Figure 4 is Figure 1 a plane structure schematic diagram of the base in the shown material separation device;Figure 5 is Figure 1 a structural decomposition schematic diagram of the material separation device shown.

[0079] Refer to Figure 1 , the material separation device proposed by the present invention may include a base 100, a separation component 110, a negative pressure generating component (not shown), a material monitoring component, and a control system (not shown). The separation component 110 is installed on one side surface of the base 100, and a separation material channel 114 allowing materials to pass through is formed thereon. It is configured to separate one material in the separation material channel 114 from another adjacent material, so that the separated one material is moved from the separation material channel 114 to the target feeding position; the material monitoring component is configured to monitor the materials in the separation material channel 114; the control system is configured to control the negative pressure generating component to generate negative pressure according to the signal sent by the material monitoring component; a vacuum airway 115 communicating with the negative pressure generating component is provided on the separation component 110, and the vacuum airway 115 communicates with the separation material channel 114. When the material monitoring component monitors that there are multiple materials in the separation material channel 114, the material monitoring component sends a signal to the control system, and the control system controls the negative pressure generating component to generate negative pressure. The negative pressure forms an adsorption effect on the materials in the separation material channel 114 from the vacuum airway 115, realizing the separation of the materials near the vacuum airway 115 in the separation material channel 114 from the adjacent materials near the target feeding position.

[0080] In one embodiment, the material separation device may further include a material carrying track (not shown). The material carrying track has an input end and an output end. The input end is connected to a hopper (not shown), and the output end passes out from below the separation material channel 114 and extends to the target feeding position; multiple materials are arranged in a row on the material carrying track and are sequentially transported to the target feeding position by the material carrying track after passing through the separation material channel 114. The width of the separation material channel is less than the total width of two of the materials. Figure 1 The base 100 in is U-shaped, and the material carrying track can pass through the opening of the U-shaped base, pass through the separation material channel of the separation component, and then extend to the target feeding position.

[0081] In one embodiment, the material monitoring component may include a first fiber optic sensor 140 and a second fiber optic sensor 150. The first fiber optic sensor 140 is installed on the base 100 below the separated material channel 114 and near the target feeding position. The second fiber optic sensor 150 is located between the first fiber optic sensor 140 and the target feeding position. When a material moves from the separated material channel to the target feeding position, it passes through the first fiber optic sensor and the second fiber optic sensor in sequence. Refer to Figure 4 . That is, when a material moves in the separated material channel, it passes through the first fiber optic sensor first and then the second fiber optic sensor.

[0082] Refer to Figure 1 . When multiple materials are transported by the material transport track into the separated material channel 114 and are arranged in a row in the separated material channel 114 in sequence, the first fiber optic sensor 140 and the second fiber optic sensor 150 respectively sense the materials (sensing different materials. The installation interval positions of the first fiber optic sensor 140 and the second fiber optic sensor 150 also need to be installed according to the size and running speed of the materials so that the first fiber optic sensor 140 and the second fiber optic sensor 150 can respectively sense two different adjacent materials). After the control system receives the sensing signals sent by the first fiber optic sensor 140 and the second fiber optic sensor 150, it controls the negative pressure generating component to generate negative pressure. The negative pressure adsorbs the material sensed by the first fiber optic sensor 140 from the vacuum airway 115, and the material sensed by the second fiber optic sensor 150 is transported by the material transport track to the target feeding position.

[0083] In one embodiment, an opening is formed on the inner wall of the separated material channel 114. The vacuum airway 115 communicates with the separated material channel 114 from the opening. The first fiber optic sensor 140 is close to the opening position. When the material is transported into the separated material channel 114 and near the opening, the first fiber optic sensor 140 senses the material. When multiple materials are arranged in a row in the separated material channel 114, the material sensed by the second fiber optic sensor 150 is closer to the target feeding position than the material sensed by the first fiber optic sensor 140. The negative pressure generated by the negative pressure generating component adsorbs the material sensed by the first fiber optic sensor 140 through the vacuum airway 115. The material is adsorbed to the opening, and the material forms a blockage for one or more adjacent materials near the input end. The material sensed by the second fiber optic sensor 150 is transported to the target feeding position.

[0084] In one embodiment, the negative pressure generating assembly (not shown) may include a vacuum pump and a vacuum pipeline for conveying the high-pressure gas generated by the vacuum pump; the separation assembly 110 includes a first cover plate 111 and a second cover plate 112. The first cover plate 111 and the second cover plate 112 are oppositely and spaced apart on one side surface of the base 100 to form the separation material channel 114. A hole is provided on the side wall of the first cover plate 111 close to the separation material channel 114, and the hole extends from the side wall surface into the interior of the first cover plate 111 until it communicates with the vacuum pipeline; an air gap 113 is provided on the side wall of the second cover plate 112 close to the separation material channel 114. The setting of the air gap 113 can enable the material to be better adsorbed by the negative pressure of the vacuum airway 115.

[0085] In one embodiment, the material separation device may further include a turntable. A circle of grooves is evenly provided on the edge of the turntable, and the turntable is arranged below the base 100; a material inlet 101 is further provided on the base 100, and the material inlet 101 forms a target feeding position for the material to be separated. The material inlet 101 extends downward from the side surface of the base 100 where the separation assembly 110 is installed and corresponds to and communicates with one of the grooves on the turntable, and the material is fed into the groove from the material inlet 101.

[0086] If the groove corresponding to the material inlet 101 contains material, the turntable is driven to rotate so that the next groove adjacent to the groove is rotated below the material inlet 101; when the turntable is driven to rotate, the negative pressure generating assembly stops generating vacuum, and the adsorbed material is released. The material is transported to the material inlet 101 and then fed into the groove of the turntable.

[0087] In one embodiment, when the material monitoring component monitors a material in the separation material channel 114, the control device controls the negative pressure generating assembly to stop generating negative pressure, and the material is moved to the target feeding position. That is, when only one of the first optical fiber sensor 140 and the second optical fiber sensor 150 senses the material, it means that there is no phenomenon of multiple materials piling up in the separation material channel 114, and there is no need for separation, that is, the negative pressure adsorption function is not enabled.

[0088] In one embodiment, the vacuum airway 115 includes one or more sub-airways 116 and a main airway 117 communicating with the sub-airways 116. The vacuum pipeline communicates with the main airway 117. The negative-pressure gas output from the vacuum pipeline is dispersed from the main airway 117 into one or more of the sub-airways 116. One or more of the sub-airways 116 extend towards the separated material channel 114, and one or more of the sub-airways 116 communicate with the separated material channel 114 respectively. If the positions where multiple sub-airways open on the side wall of the first cover plate are close to each other, then the multiple sub-airways can adsorb one material, and the adsorption strength at this time is relatively high; if the positions where multiple sub-airways open on the side wall of the first cover plate are relatively dispersed, then each sub-airway may adsorb different materials.

[0089] In one embodiment, air holes 102 may be formed in the base 100. The vacuum airway 115 communicates with the vacuum pipeline through the air holes 102. In this case, it is more likely to install the negative-pressure generating component below the base 100 to reduce the volume of the device.

[0090] The material separation device of the present invention realizes the separation of multiple materials by using the principle of vacuum suction. Compared with components such as electromagnets, separation needles, and proximity sensors used in existing material separation devices, the separation device provided by the present invention is simpler in structure. Compared with mechanical-action separation, the vacuum suction separation has higher action instantaneity, higher separation efficiency, and there is no situation of mechanical component action damaging the materials, so the safety is higher. Without the participation of redundant mechanical components in the action, the failure rate of the device is lower.

[0091] Embodiment 3:

[0092] Based on the above material implantation device and material separation device, the present invention further proposes a material automatic processing device. This automatic processing device not only includes the above material separation device and material implantation device, but may also include a carrier tape feeding device, a component feeding device, and a material packaging device. The carrier tape feeding device is used for feeding the carrier tape packaging components. The component feeding device is used for feeding components (the materials separated by the above material separation device may be components). The component processing device is used for implanting the components into the receiving grooves of the carrier tape. The material packaging device is used for packaging the carrier tape containing components.

[0093] In one embodiment, the material automatic processing equipment (hereinafter simply referred to as the automatic equipment, and the materials may include various components) of the present invention can process the materials through the following several processing procedures: Procedure 1: Obtain the carrier tape for packaging components through the carrier tape feeding device; Procedure 2: Feed the components through the component feeding device; Procedure 3: Implant the components into the carrier tape through the component processing device; Procedure 4: Package the carrier tape implanted with components through the material packaging device. The order of Procedure 1 and Procedure 2 is not sequential. Generally, for production efficiency, Procedure 1 and Procedure 2 are parallel. One or more detection procedures can be set as needed in Procedure 1, Procedure 2 or Procedure 3, mainly for detecting the appearance and electrical performance of the components. Of course, it is not that detection procedures cannot be set in Procedure 4. Only detecting before packaging can control defects at the front end of production, reduce the error correction cost, and improve production efficiency.

[0094] In one embodiment, Procedure 1 requires using the master tape and the lower tape to cooperate to obtain the carrier tape for packaging components (the carrier tape can also be directly purchased with the support of the production cost budget), and the carrier tape has receiving grooves for receiving components.

[0095] In one embodiment, Procedure 2 is for feeding. The components to be packaged need to be fed to the designated position and then fed into the machine (feeding is the previous process of implanting components in Procedure 3, that is, feeding prepares for implanting components into the carrier tape). Before and after feeding, the appearance and electrical performance of the components can be detected. If defective products are detected, they will be stored in the defective product box for the staff to reconfirm whether they are indeed defective.

[0096] In one embodiment, Procedure 3 is to implant the components into the receiving grooves of the carrier tape one by one. Before or after implantation, the appearance and electrical performance of the components can also be detected. If defects are detected before implantation, the materials can be directly discharged. If defects are detected after implantation, the materials can be taken out from the receiving grooves.

[0097] In one embodiment, Procedure 4 is to package the carrier tape implanted with components. At this time, the upper tape can be provided, and the carrier tape is packaged through the upper tape. After packaging is completed, the finished product tape is obtained.

[0098] In order to improve the efficiency of material packaging, it is possible to start from the above four processing processes respectively, develop automated equipment for each operation step, so as to realize the automation of this operation step. Further, it is also necessary to develop appropriate sub-devices or mechanisms for the sub-steps within each step to achieve the automation of the sub-step. For example, for Process 1, since this process includes three sub-steps: supplying the master tape, supplying the lower tape, and attaching the lower tape, it may be necessary to develop three sub-devices or mechanisms for the above three sub-steps. Of course, in order to realize the full-process automation of material packaging, these automated devices for each step can also be integrated together. The present invention is proposed based on the above inventive concept, and multiple embodiments will be used hereinafter to exemplarily introduce the automated devices for each operation step and the complete set of automated equipment of the present invention.

[0099] Tape loading device

[0100] In one embodiment, the present invention provides a tape loading device, which is mainly used to complete the loading of the tape. It can convey the tape to the subsequent process station to receive subsequent operations.

[0101] This tape loading device can be called a tape loading device, which can be used as a loading device of a component processing device to convey an empty tape into the component processing device to complete the implantation of components. At this time, the above subsequent process station is the material implantation station. Of course, the tape loading device described in this embodiment may also be used as a loading device of other material operation devices, and this embodiment does not make special restrictions.

[0102] In one embodiment, the carrier tape loading device of the present invention includes two feeding devices. One feeding device is used to supply the master tape, and the other feeding device is used to supply the lower tape (it should be noted that the master tape is a plastic strip with through holes formed thereon. The shape and size of the through holes are adapted to the shape and size of the components to be packaged. The lower tape is attached to one side of the master tape, and the through holes on the master tape are sealed at the bottom by the lower tape. Therefore, the master tape with the lower tape attached to one side forms a carrier tape that can package components). After both feeding devices supply materials, the master tape and the lower tape are simultaneously conveyed to the lower pressing and laminating station. At the lower pressing and laminating station, the lower tape is attached to one side surface of the master tape. A lower pressing and laminating device is provided at the lower pressing and laminating station. The lower pressing and laminating device reciprocates up and down and cooperates with a certain temperature to complete the lamination of the lower tape and the master tape. After the lamination is completed, the carrier tape is obtained. Among them, the lower pressing and laminating device may include an instant-on soldering iron (abbreviation: "soldering iron"). The soldering iron is connected to an electromagnet, and the soldering iron reciprocates up and down under the drive of the electromagnet to complete the pressing action. In actual applications, it is also necessary to select a suitable heating temperature of the soldering iron and set a suitable pressing time according to the materials and characteristics of the lower tape and the master tape. In order to ensure firm lamination, the soldering iron will stay on the lower tape for a certain period of time during the downward pressing process and apply a certain downward pressure to the tape to ensure the adhesion between the lower tape and the master tape. Thus, the component processing device obtains a carrier tape that can be used to package components from the first front-end processing route, and receiving grooves are formed on the carrier tape.

[0103] In one embodiment, both the master tape and the lower tape are roll-shaped materials. The master tape roll and the lower tape roll are respectively fixed on the reserved positions on the frame, and both the master tape and the lower tape are conveyed to the lower pressing and laminating station, and then the lower tape is pasted on the master tape through the lower pressing and laminating device. Thus, the carrier tape is obtained.

[0104] In one embodiment, the carrier tape loading device of the present invention further includes a carrier tape driving part (the driving member used to drive the carrier tape in the present invention is equivalent to the carrier tape driving part). The carrier tape driving part conveys the manufactured carrier tape to the subsequent station.

[0105] In one embodiment, if the carrier tape is directly provided and not processed through the master tape and the lower tape, the carrier tape loading device of the present invention may only include a carrier tape driving part, and the carrier tape is loaded to the material implantation station through the carrier tape driving part.

[0106] The carrier tape loading device provided in this embodiment can be used as a component and integrated with the component loading device, the component processing device, and the material packaging device to form a complete set of automated equipment. When the carrier tape loading device is used as a component of the complete set of automated equipment, the carrier tape loading device loads the carrier tape into the component processing device to receive subsequent loading operations. The specific process can refer to the relevant content of the automated equipment in the subsequent embodiments.

[0107] Of course, the carrier loading device can also be used as the loading device of other types of material processing devices.

[0108] Component loading device

[0109] In one embodiment, the present invention provides a component loading device, which can store, load and feed components to sequentially convey the components to the subsequent process station to receive subsequent operations.

[0110] The component loading device can be used as the loading device of the material separation device, so as to convey the components into the material separation device, and then the material separation device separates and conveys the materials into the material implantation device. Of course, the component loading device may also be used as the loading device of other component operation devices, and this embodiment is not particularly limited.

[0111] The component loading device in the embodiment of the present invention can be used to scatter the concentrated materials. The scattered materials can be arranged in a single row in sequence to prepare for feeding the subsequent material implantation carrier tape. After the materials are arranged in a single row in sequence, a detection device can be set to sequentially perform electrical performance detection on each component (the electrical performance detection can include two resistance detections and one capacitance detection). If defective products are detected, the defective products will be discharged into the corresponding storage box. The implantation of the detection device in the component loading device can control the quality of the components during the loading process, so as to control the defects before storage and reduce the rework cost. Of course, the detection device may not be implanted in the component loading device, and only the storage, loading and feeding of the components are completed during the loading process, and the screening process of electrical performance detection is placed in the subsequent process. Specifically, at which stage the electrical performance detection process is placed can be determined according to the actual integrated structure of the component processing device.

[0112] In one embodiment, the component loading device of the present invention may include a hopper, a material vibrating disk and a material transmission track. One end of the hopper is communicated with the feeding port of the material vibrating disk, the discharging port of the material vibrating disk is connected to the material transmission track, and a sensor is further arranged on the material vibrating disk. The sensor can monitor the material quantity in the material vibrating disk. If it is detected that the material quantity is insufficient, the hopper is controlled to add materials to the material vibrating disk, and the hopper is controlled to stop adding materials after adding materials to the set material quantity. The material vibrating disk can arrange the materials in a single row on the material transmission track through mechanical vibration. Among them, the hopper is used to store components, the material vibrating disk can sort materials through vibration, and the material transmission track can convey the materials in a single row for convenient feeding.

[0113] In one embodiment, if a detection process is implanted in the component loading device, the detection device can be installed upside down below the material transfer track (the installation position is related to the detection method. In this embodiment, the detection device is installed upside down mainly because when performing electrical performance detection, the probe will extend from bottom to top to detect whether the resistance and capacitance performance are qualified. Therefore, the detection device is installed upside down below the material transfer track). When the material is conveyed to the detection station (in this embodiment, the detection station coincides with the station where the material is fed into the material transfer track), the detection device performs electrical performance detection on the material.

[0114] In one embodiment, the detection device described in this embodiment can include three detection processes, two of which can be resistance detection, and the other is capacitance detection (of course, it can also be redistributed. This embodiment only gives an example to illustrate the problem and is not a limitation to the present invention).

[0115] In one embodiment, the detection device is described. It can include three detection components, and each detection component corresponds to one detection process. For example, the first detection component and the second detection component for resistance detection each include two detection probes. When it is detected that there is a component at the detection station, the detection probes extend and pierce into the target detection part of the component, and obtain the resistance value from the target detection part to determine whether the electrical property of the detected component is qualified. If it is qualified, it enters the next detection process; if it is not qualified, the component is discharged into the corresponding defective product storage box. The third detection component for capacitance detection includes two detection probes. Similar to the resistance detection, the detection probes need to pierce into the target capacitance detection part of the component to obtain the capacitance value from the target detection part to determine whether the electrical property of the detected component is qualified. If it is qualified, it enters the next detection process; if it is not qualified, the component is discharged into the corresponding defective product storage box. The components that pass through the three detection processes are conveyed on the material transfer track to the material implantation station. By this way of screening layer by layer, the defective products are controlled at the front end of the storage to ensure the quality of the finished products.

[0116] The component loading device provided in this embodiment can be used as a component and integrated with the carrier tape loading device, the component processing device, and the material packaging device to form a complete set of automated equipment. When the component loading device is used as a part of the complete set of automated equipment, the component loading device loads the components into the component processing device to receive subsequent loading operations. The specific process can refer to the relevant content of the automated equipment in the subsequent embodiments.

[0117] Of course, the component loading device can also be used as the loading device of other types of material processing devices, such as the loading device for other materials.

[0118] Component processing device

[0119] The present invention provides a component processing device, which can pick up, transfer, detect (not described in this embodiment, but can refer to the material detection in the above component loading device), and implant components, and convey the carrier tape with implanted components to the subsequent process station to receive subsequent operations.

[0120] This component processing device can be used as the loading device of a material packaging device, so as to convey the carrier tape with implanted components to be packaged into the material packaging device. At this time, the above subsequent process station is the upper pressing station of the material packaging device. Of course, this component processing device may also be used as the loading device of other component operation devices, and this embodiment is not particularly limited.

[0121] A component processing device provided by the present invention adopts a vacuum management solution, which can provide very effective help for the use, maintenance and repair of the component processing device, and realize the intelligent management of the machine. It should be noted that in this embodiment, the term "processing" in the component processing device has a broad meaning. Picking up, transferring, detecting, removing, unloading, placing, and mounting components can all be called processing of components. The components in this embodiment may include small components such as chips, resistors, and capacitors.

[0122] There are many types of the component processing device. Some component processing devices can use the principle of vacuum adsorption to package components into the storage grooves in the carrier tape, which involves component loading (i.e., picking up components), component transfer, component detection, removal of components with abnormal detection, and implantation of components with normal detection (i.e., placing components), and multiple actions among them need to be completed through vacuum adsorption. In addition, there are also some component processing devices whose purpose is not to package the components into the carrier tape, but to select the components that pass the detection, and the selected components can be directly loaded into relevant containers, which involves component loading (i.e., picking up components), component transfer, component detection, removal of components with abnormal detection, and unloading of components with normal detection (directly loading the selected components into relevant containers), and multiple actions among them need to be completed through vacuum adsorption. In addition, there are also some component processing devices used to mount components on a carrier board such as a circuit board, which involves component loading (i.e., picking up components), component transfer, and component mounting, and multiple actions among them need to be completed through vacuum adsorption.

[0123] The component processing device provided in this embodiment receives the carrier tape loaded by the carrier tape loading device and also receives the components loaded by the component loading device. The main function of the component processing device is to implant the components into the carrier tape. However, to ensure product quality, a detection function is added to the component processing device, with the aim of controlling defects at the front end of production and reducing rework costs.

[0124] In the component processing device of the present invention, a material implantation station (undertaken by the material implantation device) is provided, and the loaded components are implanted into the carrier tape at the material implantation station. The electrical performance detection process can also be completed at the material implantation station. Of course, to ensure quality, electrical performance detection can also be performed during the component loading process and at the material implantation station, thereby greatly reducing the probability of implanting defective materials.

[0125] In one embodiment, loading the components into the receiving slots in the carrier tape can be completed by the above-mentioned material separation device and material implantation device. It can be understood that the component processing device of the present invention includes the material separation device and material implantation device mentioned in the above embodiments. The material separation is completed by the material separation device described in Embodiment 2. The separated material enters the turntable groove from the discharge port, and this turntable groove also serves as the loading part of the material implantation device described in Embodiment 1. Therefore, the material separation device loads the separated material into the material implantation device, and the material implantation device completes the work of implanting the material into the carrier tape through vacuum blowing, vacuum adsorption, and release.

[0126] In one embodiment, the carrier tape 300 passes through the implantation part 140, and after the component 200 is implanted into the carrier tape 300, it continues to move forward with the carrier tape 300 to reach the appearance detection station on the machine table. The appearance detection station is provided with a detection window, and an image detection device is arranged directly above the detection window. The detection window has a magnifying lens, which can magnify the component 200 in the receiving slot 320, facilitating the image recognition of the component 200 by the image detection device. The appearance and placement of the component 200 are inspected by the image detection device to determine that the appearance of the component 200 is qualified and it is correctly received face-up in the receiving slot 320. If it is detected that the appearance of the component 200 is unqualified or the placement is incorrect, the carrier tape is allowed to continue moving forward to the screening station. A push-pull plate is arranged at the screening station. When the unqualified component 200 moves to the screening station, the push-pull plate is opened to take out the unqualified component 200. If no defect of the component 200 is detected, the carrier tape passes through the screening station and continues to move to the next station.

[0127] The component processing device provided in this embodiment can be used as a component and integrated with a carrier tape loading device, a component loading device, and a material packaging device to form a complete set of automated equipment. When the component processing device is used as a part of the complete set of automated equipment, the component processing device feeds the carrier tape containing components to the material packaging device for subsequent packaging operations. The specific process can refer to the relevant content of the automated equipment in the subsequent embodiments.

[0128] Of course, the component processing device can also be used as a loading device for other types of material processing devices, or can be used alone as a component processing equipment for production, and no special restrictions are made here.

[0129] Material packaging device

[0130] In one embodiment, the present invention provides a material packaging device, which is mainly used to package the carrier tape containing components, and the packaged carrier tape is made into a reel.

[0131] The material packaging device can be used as the next packaging device for the component processing device. It packages, reels, finishes, and labels the carrier tape processed by the component processing device to finally obtain a finished product reel. Of course, the material packaging device described in this embodiment may also be used as a packaging device for other material operating devices, and no special restrictions are made in this embodiment.

[0132] In one embodiment, the material packaging device of the present invention needs to first package the carrier tape containing components, that is, a feeding device is required to supply the upper tape (the upper tape is used to package the carrier tape, that is, to paste the tape on the other side of the master tape to complete the component packaging). The material packaging device pastes the upper tape on one side surface of the carrier tape to form a package for the components.

[0133] In one embodiment, the material packaging device includes an upper pressing device. The upper pressing device is arranged at the upper pressing station. The upper tape supplied by the feeding device and the carrier tape supplied by the component processing device are both conveyed to the upper pressing station, and the packaging of the carrier tape (the upper tape is pasted on the carrier tape) is completed at the upper pressing station.

[0134] In one embodiment, the next station of the screening station in the component processing device can be connected to the upper pressing station. The carrier tape supplied from the component processing device is conveyed to the upper pressing station at the screening station. The upper pressing device arranged at the upper pressing station can include an instant-on soldering iron (abbreviation: "soldering iron"). The soldering iron is connected to an electromagnet. The soldering iron moves up and down reciprocally under the drive of the electromagnet to bond the upper tape to the carrier tape. After the pressing action is completed, the upper tape packages the carrier tape to obtain a finished product tape, and the carrier tape driving part drives the finished product tape to continue moving to the next station.

[0135] In one embodiment, a coiling station is further provided on the material encapsulation device. The finished product tape is moved from the upper pressing station to the coiling station. A tail label feeding device and an automatic coiling device are provided on the coiling station. The tail label feeding device feeds the tail label to the coiling station, and the automatic coiling device automatically winds the finished product tape around a roller into a roll. When the set length / thickness is reached, a roll of material is obtained. The automatic coiling device attaches the tail label to the end of the roll of material to obtain a finished roll of encapsulated material.

[0136] In one embodiment, a labeling station is further provided on the material encapsulation device. The finished roll of encapsulated material is conveyed to the labeling station. A labeling device and a scanning device are provided at the labeling station. The labeling device attaches a nameplate to the reel of the finished roll of material, and the scanning device scans and detects whether the barcode on the nameplate is correct. Of course, the nameplate can be attached manually or by a machine in cooperation with a sensor for identification and attachment.

[0137] The material encapsulation device provided in this embodiment can be used as a component and integrated with a component feeding device, a carrier tape feeding device, and a component processing device to form a complete set of automated equipment. When the material encapsulation device is used as a component of the complete set of automated equipment, the material encapsulation device receives materials from the component processing device for packaging. Of course, the carrier tape feeding device can also be used as other types of material processing devices, which is not particularly limited here according to the packaging requirements.

[0138] Material automatic processing equipment

[0139] The present invention provides a material automatic processing equipment, which can continuously and automatically complete operations such as feeding, placement, encapsulation, and coiling of components, thereby greatly improving the processing efficiency of materials.

[0140] In one embodiment, the automated equipment of the present invention includes a frame, and a carrier tape feeding device, a component feeding device, a component processing device (i.e., the material separation device and the material implantation device of the present invention), and a material encapsulation device integrally installed on the frame. Among them:

[0141] The carrier tape feeding device is used to feed the carrier tape to the component processing device;

[0142] The component feeding device feeds the components to the component processing device;

[0143] The component processing device places the components in the receiving grooves of the carrier tape and conveys the carrier tape containing the components to the material encapsulation device;

[0144] The material packaging device packages, winds into a roll, finishes, and labels the carrier tape containing components, and finally produces a finished material roll that can be sold externally.

[0145] It should be noted that the carrier tape loading device, component loading device, component processing device, material packaging device, material separation device, and material implantation device are not necessarily completely independent in structure, and some or several structural components may be reused between the devices. Correspondingly, the processing stations in each device are not necessarily completely staggered in spatial position, and some stations may partially overlap or even completely overlap. This structural reuse and station overlap are also to save production space and shorten the production transfer route. For example, the feeding station in the component loading device can be reused as the detection station.

[0146] It should be particularly noted that in some embodiments, the present invention only sets one type of transfer component. This transfer component can not only reciprocate between devices to transfer the carrier tape from one device to another, but also enter the interior of each device to realize the transfer of the carrier tape between the processing stations inside each device. In these embodiments, the carrier tape driving member mentioned in the present invention specifically refers to this transfer component. Of course, in order to improve the processing efficiency of the automated equipment, multiple groups of transfer components can be set, and the multiple groups of transfer components act in parallel, so that the automated equipment can simultaneously perform material packaging on multiple carrier tapes. Of course, at the same moment, these carrier tapes are at different stations to receive different operations to ensure that they do not interfere with each other and are misaligned.

[0147] In some other embodiments, independent internal transfer components are provided inside each device according to needs. These internal transfer components only move inside the device to which they belong to realize the transfer of the carrier tape between the processing stations inside the device to which they belong. An external transfer component is additionally provided on the machine table or frame. This external transfer component can reciprocate between devices to transfer the carrier tape from one device to another. In these embodiments, the transfer mechanism mentioned in the present invention includes the internal transfer components and the external transfer components inside each device. Of course, in the present invention, the carrier tape is basically conveyed by the carrier tape driving component.

[0148] The carrier tape loading device in the automated equipment in the embodiments of the present invention adopts the carrier tape loading device in the embodiments of the present invention. Since the specific structure and working process of this carrier tape loading device have been described in detail in the previous text, they will not be elaborated here. Please refer to the relevant descriptions in the embodiments of the present invention. In addition, it should be noted that when the carrier tape loading device is described below, the internal components thereof will not be introduced one by one either. Please directly refer to the relevant descriptions in the above embodiments.

[0149] It should be noted that in some other embodiments, the carrier tape is loaded onto the material implantation station manually. Therefore, in these embodiments, the material loading device in the automated equipment of the present invention embodiment is not equipped. It only includes a component loading device, a component processing device, and a material packaging device installed on the frame, which can sequentially complete the processing operations of the components.

[0150] The component loading device in the automated equipment of the present invention embodiment adopts the component loading device in the above embodiment of the present invention. Since the specific structure and working process of this component loading device have been described in detail in the previous text, they will not be elaborated here. Please refer to the relevant descriptions in the above embodiment.

[0151] The component processing device in the automated equipment of the present invention embodiment adopts the component processing device in the above embodiment of the present invention. Since the specific structure and working process of this component processing device have been described in detail in the previous text, they will not be elaborated here. Please refer to the relevant descriptions in the above embodiment.

[0152] The material packaging device in the automated equipment of the present invention embodiment adopts the material packaging device in the above embodiment of the present invention. Since the specific structure and working process of this material packaging device have been described in detail in the previous text, they will not be elaborated here. Please refer to the relevant descriptions in the above embodiment.

[0153] Each functional device in the automated equipment provided by the present invention can be disassembled, reorganized, replaced, or deleted according to the actual application environment, but it still does not affect its basic function as an automated equipment.

[0154] The automated equipment described in the present invention can meet the needs of the entire packaging process, achieve automated packaging, reduce labor costs, and improve production efficiency.

[0155] In this article, the terms "include", "comprise", or any other variant thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. In addition to the listed elements, it may also include other elements not explicitly listed.

[0156] In this article, the orientation terms such as front, back, up, and down are defined based on the positions of the components in the drawings and the positions of the components relative to each other, only for the sake of clarity and convenience in expressing the technical solution. It should be understood that the use of the orientation terms should not limit the scope of protection requested by this application.
