Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a joining mechanism that improves the efficiency of crimping. Background Technology

[0002] Today, radio frequency (RF) electronic components with built-in antennas are widely used in mobile communication area network systems and wireless communication area network systems. RF electronic components have multiple contacts on the bottom surface of the body and an antenna on the top surface of the body. Before leaving the factory, RF electronic components must undergo electrical testing as well as wireless signal testing to ensure quality.

[0003] The testing device is equipped with an electrical tester with probes and a circuit board on the machine, and an antenna tester is placed above the electrical tester. When the radio frequency electronic component is placed in the electrical tester, the radio frequency electronic component performs electrical testing by contacting the probe of the electrical tester with its contacts, and emits a wireless signal towards the antenna tester with its antenna. The antenna tester receives the wireless signal and performs wireless signal testing.

[0004] However, because the probes of the electrical tester contain springs, the weight of the RF electronic component itself is insufficient to ensure effective electrical contact between the contacts and the probes, thus affecting the accuracy of the electrical tests on the RF electronic component. While pressing the top surface of the electronic component with a crimping device from top to bottom can ensure contact between the RF electronic component's contacts and the electrical tester's probes, it also causes the crimping device to shield the component's antenna, thus affecting the accuracy of the wireless signal tests on the RF electronic component. Therefore, it is crucial to ensure that the RF electronic component is securely pressed against the electrical tester to perform electrical tests without affecting the wireless signal testing operations of the antenna tester and the RF electronic component.

Detailed Implementation

[0055] To provide a further understanding of the present invention, a preferred embodiment is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0056] Please see Figures 1-3 The joining mechanism of the present invention includes a plurality of clamps and a drive structure. Depending on the operational requirements, the joining mechanism of the present invention can be directly mounted on a tester with a test seat, or the joining mechanism of the present invention further includes a base, which is disposed below the plurality of clamps and the drive structure. More preferably, the base can be used to mount a plurality of probes of the tester. In this embodiment, the joining mechanism includes a base 10, a plurality of clamps 20 and a drive structure.

[0057] The base 10 can be an independent seat, a machine plate, or a test fixture, and is disposed below a plurality of clamps 20 and a drive structure. For example, the base 10 is a machine plate, which can have receiving holes for mounting test fixtures with probes. A plurality of clamps 20 and a drive structure are mounted on the machine plate and located above the test fixture. Alternatively, the base 10 can be a test fixture with probes, which can be used to mount a plurality of clamps 20 and a drive structure. All of these are possible and not limited to this embodiment. In this embodiment, the base 10 is an independent seat and is provided with at least one support portion 11 for mounting electronic components. The base 10 can be used to mount a plurality of probes of an electrical tester.

[0058] A plurality of clamps 20 are arranged opposite each other along the clamping axis A. Each clamp 20 has a clamping part 21 on one side for clamping electronic components, and at least one clamp 20 has a first guiding member on the other side. Furthermore, one clamp 20 can serve as a fixed reference, while the other clamp 20 is movable, or both clamps 20 can be movable and move closer or further apart from each other. Depending on the operational requirements, the clamping part 21 can be a plane, an arc surface, a fork, or an airbag, etc. The clamping part 21 can clamp the side of the electronic component, or clamp between the electronic component and the contact, or clamp the contact of the electronic component, and is not limited to this embodiment. In this embodiment, the plurality of clamps 20 are arranged horizontally above the base 10 along the clamping axis A (such as the X-axis) and are arranged opposite each other on both sides of the support part 11. Each clamp 20 has a flat clamping part 21 on one side for clamping electronic components.

[0059] The first guiding component of the clamp 20 can be a rod or a guide groove with multiple control sections. If the first guiding component is a rod, the rod can be an independent rod assembled on the clamp 20, or the rod and the clamp 20 can be integrally formed. The first guiding component can be a straight rod or an eccentric rod. For example, the first guiding component is an eccentric rod installed on the clamp 20. The first guiding component can be rotated to finely adjust the initial position of the clamp 20 so that the clamp 20 can accurately move and clamp the electronic components.

[0060] In this embodiment, the clamp 20 is provided with a mounting portion 23 on the other side for screwing together a first guide member 22, which is an eccentric rod and arranged along the Z-axis. Before the test operation, the first guide member 22 can be rotated to finely adjust the initial position of the clamp 20 so that the clamp 20 can accurately move and clamp the electronic component. However, the assembly method of the first guide member 22 and the mounting portion 23 can be a snap-fit ​​assembly or a screw-fit assembly, etc., and is not limited to this embodiment.

[0061] The drive structure includes an actuator 30, at least one fixture 40, and a control device 50.

[0062] The actuator 30 is movable along the pressing axis B and connects to a plurality of clamping fixtures 20. In this embodiment, the actuator 30 has a first space communicating with the support portion 11 of the base 10 for moving electronic components in / out. The actuator 30 has two first sliding grooves 31 arranged opposite to each other along the clamping axis A (e.g., the X-axis). The first sliding grooves 31 communicate with the first space and allow the two clamping fixtures 20 to slide. The actuator 30 can drive the two clamping fixtures 20 to move synchronously along the pressing axis B (e.g., the X-axis). The Z-axis displacement, the axial direction of the pressing axis B (e.g., Z-axis) is different from the axial direction of the clamping axis A (e.g., X-axis); the actuator 30 has a through hole 32 at the position corresponding to the first guide member 22 for the first guide member 22 and the mounting part 23 to pass through, and at least one second slide groove 33 is provided on the side of the actuator 30 along the control axis C (e.g., Y-axis), the axial direction of the control axis C (e.g., Y-axis) is different from the axial direction of the clamping axis A (e.g., X-axis).

[0063] At least one elastic element 34 is provided on the bottom surface or periphery of the actuator 30 so that the actuator 30 can be elastically displaced along the pressing axis B; furthermore, at least one elastic element 34 is provided between the actuator 30 and the base 10, and the at least one elastic element 34 can provide an appropriate clearance space between the actuator 30 and the base 10, the clearance space is for the actuator 30 to be elastically displaced along the pressing axis B, and the elastic element 34 can make the actuator 30 elastically return to its original position.

[0064] At least one fixing device 40 is provided with a second guiding component. Furthermore, the fixing device 40 may be located above or to the side of the actuator 30. The second guiding component may be a rod or a plurality of guiding segments with different heights and arranged along the control axis C. In this embodiment, the bottom of the two fixing devices 40 is fixedly mounted to the top of the base 10 by a bracket 41 and is located above the actuator 30. A horizontal plate 42 protrudes from the side of each fixing device 40. The bottom surface of the horizontal plate 42 is provided with a second guiding component. The second guiding component includes a plurality of guiding segments arranged along the control axis C and with different heights. The plurality of guiding segments includes a first guiding segment 431 and a second guiding segment 432. The height of the second guiding segment 432 is lower than the height of the first guiding segment 431.

[0065] The control device 50 is disposed on the actuator 30 and can be displaced along the control axis C. It is provided with a first control component and a second control component. The first control component cooperates with the first guide component of the clamp 20, so that the control device 50 controls the clamp 20 to displace along the clamping axis A to clamp the electronic component. The second control component cooperates with the second guide component of the fixture 40, so that the control device 50 presses the actuator 30 to displace along the pressing axis B, thereby controlling the actuator 30 to drive the plurality of clamps 20 and the electronic component to move synchronously along the pressing axis B, so that the electronic component is pressed into the probe of the electrical tester to perform electrical testing.

[0066] In this embodiment, the control device 50 is disposed on the top surface of the actuator 30 and has a second space that communicates with the support portion 11 of the base 10 for moving electronic components in / out. The two side portions 51 of the control device 50 are slidably placed in the second slide groove 33 of the actuator 30, and the second slide groove 33 limits the displacement of the control device 50 along the control axis C.

[0067] The first control component can be a rod or a guide groove with multiple control segments. For example, when the first guide component of the clamping device 20 is a rod, the first control component of the control device 50 is a guide groove with multiple control segments, so that the first guide component of the clamping device 20 can be displaced along the multiple control segments. In this embodiment, the first control component of the control device 50 is a guide groove, which includes a first control segment 521 and a second control segment 522 that are connected. The first control segment 521 is a curved segment and is connected to the second control segment 522. The second control segment 522 is a straight segment. When the control device 50 is displaced along the control axis C, the first control segment 521 is used to control the first guide component 22 of the two clamping devices 20 to be displaced along the clamping axis A, so that the two clamping devices 20 are displaced along the clamping axis A and the clamping part 21 clamps the electronic component. The control device 50 uses the second control segment 522 to control the first guide component 22 of the clamping device 20 to not be actuated according to the actuation sequence, so that the clamping device 20 keeps clamping the electronic component.

[0068] The second control component of the control device 50 can be a rod or a plurality of guide segments with different heights. For example, the fixing device 40 has a plurality of guide segments with different heights, and the second control component of the control device 50 is a rod. The second control component can be displaced along the plurality of guide segments with different heights. In this embodiment, the second control component 53 of the control device 50 is a rod. The control device 50 is displaced along the control axis C. When the second control component 53 is displaced along the first guide segment 431 with a higher height, the control device 50, the actuator 30 and the two clamps 20 can be kept inactive. When the second control component 53 is displaced along the second guide segment 432 with a lower height, the control device 50 can drive the actuator 30 and the two clamps 20 to move synchronously along the pressing axis B.

[0069] Please see Figure 4The bonding mechanism of the present invention is applied to electrical testing of electronic components or to both electrical testing and wireless signal testing. In this embodiment, the bonding mechanism is applied to electrical testing of radio frequency electronic component 60 and facilitates wireless signal testing of the radio frequency electronic component 60. A conveyor (not shown) places the radio frequency electronic component 60 to be tested on the support portion 11 of the base 10 of the bonding mechanism, and the radio frequency electronic component 60 is located between two clamps 20. An electrical tester for performing electrical testing includes an electrically connected circuit board 711 and a plurality of probes 712. The circuit board 711 is mounted on the bottom of the base 10, and the plurality of probes 712 extend out of the support portion 11 of the base 10 to support and electrically connect a plurality of contacts of a radio frequency electronic component 60. An antenna tester 72 for performing wireless signal testing is located above the support portion 11 of the bonding mechanism to test the antenna of the radio frequency electronic component 60.

[0070] Please see Figures 5-7 The drive structure can drive the control device 50 manually or automatically. Therefore, depending on the operation requirements, the control device 50 of the drive structure further includes a driver to drive the control device 50 to move along the control axis C. The driver can be a cylinder, a linear motor, or include a motor and a transmission assembly. For example, the driver is a cylinder, and the piston rod of the cylinder can be connected to the control device 50. For example, the driver includes a motor and a transmission assembly, and the transmission assembly is connected to the control device 50.

[0071] In this embodiment, the actuator of the control device 50 is a pressure cylinder 54. The pressure cylinder 54 pushes and drives the control device 50 to move. The two side portions 51 of the control device 50 move along the control axis C in the second slide groove 33 of the actuator 30. The control device 50 moves along the first guide member 22 of the two clamping devices 20 by the first control segments 521 on both sides. Since the first control segments 521 are curved, the control device 50 moves the first guide member 22 of the two clamping devices 20 along the clamping axis A by the two first control segments 521 simultaneously. This causes the two clamping devices 20 to move along the first guide member 22 of the actuator 30. The slide 31 moves closer to each other along the clamping axis A, and the two clamps 20 clamp the two sides of the radio frequency electronic component 60 in the base 10 with the clamping part 21. Since the two clamping parts 21 clamp the two sides of the radio frequency electronic component 60, the wireless signal transmission of the antenna of the radio frequency electronic component 60 can be prevented, so as to facilitate the wireless signal testing operation. When the two clamps 20 move closer to each other synchronously along the clamping axis A, the placement position of the radio frequency electronic component 60 can be pushed and corrected, so that the contacts of the radio frequency electronic component 60 are accurately aligned with the probe 712 of the tester.

[0072] However, when the control device 50 moves along the control axis C, its second control component 53 moves synchronously along the first guide section 431 of the fixing device 40. Since the stroke of the first guide section 431 has a preset length, the second control component 53 can be kept in the first guide section 431 displacement, that is, the control device 50 has not yet driven the actuator 30 to move along the pressing axis B, and the actuator 30 does not move.

[0073] Please see Figures 8-10 When the pressure cylinder 54 continues to push and drive the control device 50 to move, the two sides 51 of the control device 50 continue to move along the control axis C in the second slide groove 33 of the actuator 30. The control device 50 changes to move along the first guide member 22 of the two clamping device 20 with the second control segment 522 moving. Since the second control segment 522 is designed in a straight line, the second control segment 522 of the control device 50 will not push the first guide member 22 of the two clamping device 20 to move continuously along the clamping axis A. That is, the two clamping device 20 does not move, so that the clamping part 21 of the two clamping device 20 maintains the clamping state of the radio frequency electronic component 60.

[0074] However, as the control device 50 continues to move along the control axis C, its second control component 53 simultaneously moves from the first guide section 431 of the fixing device 40 to the second guide section 432. Since the height of the second guide section 432 is lower than that of the first guide section 431, the second control component 53 is guided downward by the second guide section 432. The second control component 53 then drives the control device 50 to move downward along the pressing axis B in the Z-axis direction. The control device 50 presses down on the actuator 30, which simultaneously moves downward along the pressing axis B in the Z-axis direction. The actuator 30 drives the second control component 53 to move downward along the pressing axis B in the Z-axis direction. The clamping fixture 20 and the RF electronic component 60 it holds are synchronously displaced downward along the Z-axis along the crimping axis B, so that the contacts of the RF electronic component 60 are firmly crimped to the probe 712 of the tester with a preset downward pressure to perform electrical testing. This not only effectively improves the quality of electrical testing, but also uses the two clamping fixtures 20 to hold the two sides of the RF electronic component 60 to effectively prevent shielding of the antenna of the RF electronic component 60, so that the antenna of the RF electronic component 60 and the antenna tester 72 can perform wireless signal testing, thereby improving the quality of wireless signal testing.

[0075] Please see Figures 1 to 11This is a schematic diagram of the bonding mechanism of the present invention applied to a test machine. In this embodiment, the test machine is used to test radio frequency electronic components 60. The test machine includes a machine base 80, a feeding device 90, a receiving device 100, a test device 110 with the bonding mechanism of the present invention, a conveying device 120, and a central control device (not shown). The feeding device 90 is disposed on the machine base 80 and is provided with at least one feeding holder 91 for accommodating electronic components under test (such as radio frequency electronic components 60); the receiving device 100 is disposed on the machine base 80 and is provided with at least one receiving holder 1001 for accommodating electronic components that have been tested; the test device 110 is disposed on the machine base 80 and includes a test chamber 1101, at least one electrical tester, and the bonding mechanism of the present invention for clamping and testing electronic components; in this embodiment, the first side and the second side of the machine base 80 are respectively The test apparatus 110 is configured, and the test apparatus 110 further includes an antenna tester 72 for performing wireless signal testing on the radio frequency electronic component 60. The conveying device 120 is configured on the machine base 80 and is provided with at least one conveyor for conveying electronic components. In this embodiment, the conveying device 120 is provided with a first conveyor 1201 that performs XYZ axial displacement. The first conveyor 1201 takes the radio frequency electronic component 60 to be tested from the feeding device 90 and moves it into the second conveyor 120, which is a platform. 2. A third conveyor 1203 removes the radio frequency electronic component 60 under test from the second conveyor 1202 and moves it into the base 10 of the bonding mechanism of the test device 110. The bonding mechanism uses a control device 50 to control two clamping devices 20 to clamp the radio frequency electronic component 60 under test on the base 10, and controls an actuator 30 to drive the two clamping devices 20 and the radio frequency electronic component 60 under test to firmly press the probe 712 of the tester to perform electrical testing, and to make the radio frequency electronic component 60 under test and the antenna tester 72 perform electrical testing. The wireless signal testing operation is carried out. The third conveyor 1203 then moves the tested radio frequency electronic components out of the testing device 110 and into the second conveyor 1202. The first conveyor 1201 then takes out the tested radio frequency electronic components from the second conveyor 1202 and, according to the test results, transfers the tested radio frequency electronic components to the receiving device 100 for sorting and storage. The central control device (not shown) is used to control and integrate the operation of each device to perform automated operation and achieve the practical benefit of improving work efficiency.
