Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the fields of piezoelectric feeders, material transportation, and microparticle transportation, and particularly to a in-plane traveling wave type linear feeding device and its working method. Background Art
[0002] Vibratory feeding equipment is a commonly used equipment in automatic packaging. Its function is to form the alignment, sorting, and directional transportation of materials, and it has important application value in the production fields that require automated precision transportation such as the testing and packaging links of modern precision semiconductor devices and the transportation of micro machinery.
[0003] Vibratory material conveying devices can be divided into electromagnetic vibratory material conveying devices and piezoelectric vibratory material conveying devices according to the vibration excitation source. The feeding device using an electromagnet as the driving source has been widely used in production lines. However, this electromagnetic vibratory feeder has disadvantages such as high noise, low energy conversion rate, and being unsuitable for precision material transportation. With the development of piezoelectric technology, new drivers using piezoelectric materials as the driving source have attracted more and more attention from researchers.
[0004] In 1977, researchers from NGK Insulators, Ltd. in Japan first proposed a piezoelectric vibratory feeder using a rectangular piezoelectric ceramic sheet as the driving source. Its working principle is that when the piezoelectric vibrator is excited by an alternating excitation signal, due to the inverse piezoelectric effect, the spring plate generates reciprocating bending deformation under the excitation of the piezoelectric ceramic, inducing the top plate to perform an elliptical motion, thereby transporting materials.
[0005] The common linear piezoelectric feeder on the market at present is based on the above piezoelectric vibratory feeder with a mass added. By increasing the inertia of the mass added, the amplitude of the top plate is increased, thereby improving the conveying effect. When the inertial mass is not added, due to the low piezoelectric coefficient of the patch-type piezoelectric transducer, the amplitude is small. After adding the inertial mass, the amplitude is increased, but the instability of material transportation is also increased. At the same time, due to structural reasons, the above piezoelectric vibratory feeder can only achieve one-way transportation of materials. Summary of the Invention
