Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a transfer device that uses a track-type transport mechanism in conjunction with a temporary holding mechanism to automatically perform the replenishment or unloading of equipment according to the operating sequence, thereby improving production efficiency and the pass rate of electronic components. Background Technology

[0002] Please see Figure 1 The testing equipment transports a plurality of electronic components using carriers (such as trays or bins for loading trays), and is equipped with a feeding device 11 and a receiving device 12 on the machine. The feeding device 11 has a feeding operation area 111 and a feeding area 112. The feeding operation area 111 has a plurality of feeding supports 113 to support a plurality of first trays 114. The first trays 114 contain a plurality of electronic components to be tested, and the feeding trays 115 are used to feed the components onto the feeding supports. 113. The first tray 114 is removed and placed on the feeding conveyor belt 116. The feeding conveyor belt 116 transports the first tray 114 to the feeding area 112 to supply the electronic components to be tested. When the feeding holder 113 in the feeding operation area 111 is empty of the first tray 114, the operator manually replenishes the feeding holder 113 with multiple first trays 114 containing the electronic components to be tested in the next batch to continue the feeding operation. Similarly, When the receiving area 121 of the receiving device 12 is filled with multiple second trays 123 containing tested electronic components, the operator manually unloads the multiple second trays 123 from the receiving area 122. However, the operator must move to the tray storage area to retrieve the next batch of first trays, or wait for the trolley in the tray storage area to transport the next batch of first trays to the testing equipment before the next batch of first trays can be added to the feeding device 11. If the operator or trolley is handling other testing equipment and cannot quickly add trays to this testing equipment, it not only increases the downtime of this testing equipment but also fails to improve production efficiency. Similarly, the receiving operation of collecting second trays also has the same problem of downtime. Even if the testing equipment is equipped with a robotic arm, if the trays cannot be replaced in time, the robotic arm must still wait and cannot work. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation

[0038] To provide a further understanding of the present invention, a preferred embodiment is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings:

[0039] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 The transfer device of the present invention is applied to working equipment. In this embodiment, the transfer device is applied to electronic component testing equipment. The working equipment includes a machine base 20, a material placement device, at least one transfer device 40 of the present invention (detailed later), a working device 50, a conveying device 60, and a central control device (not shown in the figure). The carrier can be a tray for holding electronic components or a bin for holding the tray.

[0040] A material placement device is configured on the machine base 20 and has at least one working area for holding a carrier. The carrier holds electronic components. Furthermore, the working area is equipped with a controller or a box controller and a controller according to the operational requirements. In this embodiment, the testing equipment is configured with a first material placement device 30A and a second material placement device 30B. The first material placement device 30A has a first working area 32A at the front of the first support frame 31A for holding a first carrier, which is a first box. The first box loads a plurality of first trays containing electronic components to be tested. A first material placement area 33A is configured at the rear of the first support frame 31A for holding the first trays conveyed by the first working area 32A. A first box controller is also configured in the first working area 32A. The first controller 34A controls the opening and closing of the first bin, and the first controller 35A limits the position of the first tray inside the first bin. The first support frame 31A is equipped with a first conveyor 36A consisting of pulleys to transport the first tray from the first working area 32A to the first placement area 33A to supply the electronic components to be tested. The second placement device 30B is designed similarly to the first placement device 30A, except that the second working area 32B is a second carrier for holding an empty second bin, and the empty second tray in the second placement area 33B is used to hold the tested electronic components. The second conveyor 36B transports the second tray containing the tested electronic components from the second placement area 33B to the second working area 32B. However, the placement device can be equipped with a separate bracket in the working area for picking up and placing trays from the bin, or it can utilize the transfer device 40 to pick up and place trays from the bin, and is not limited to this embodiment.

[0041] The working device 50 is disposed on the machine base 20 and is provided with at least one working device for performing preset operations on electronic components; in this embodiment, the working device is a tester, which includes an electrically connected circuit board 51 and a test socket 52 for testing electronic components.

[0042] A conveying device 60 is disposed on the machine base 20 and is equipped with at least one transfer device for transferring electronic components. In this embodiment, the conveying device 60 is equipped with a first transfer device 61 to take out the electronic component to be tested from the first placement device 30A and transfer it to the infeed platform 62. The infeed platform 62 carries the electronic component to be tested to the side of the working device 50. The second transfer device 63 of the conveying device 60 takes out the electronic component to be tested from the infeed platform 62 and transfers it to the test seat 52 of the working device 50 to perform the testing operation. It also takes out the tested electronic component from the test seat 52 and transfers it to the discharge platform 64. The discharge platform 64 discharges the tested electronic component. The third transfer device 65 of the conveying device 60 takes out the tested electronic component from the discharge platform 64 and, according to the test results, transports the tested electronic component to the second placement device 30B for sorting and storage. A central control device is used to control and integrate the operation of each device to perform automated operation.

[0043] Please see Figure 2, Figure 3 , Figure 4 The transfer device 40 of the present invention includes a temporary placement mechanism and a track-type transport mechanism. Depending on the operation requirements, the carrier can be moved between the temporary placement mechanism and the material placement device manually or by a robotic arm. More preferably, the transfer device 40 includes a transfer mechanism for moving the carrier between the temporary placement mechanism and the material placement device. Depending on the operation requirements, the transfer device 40 can be configured above at least one material placement device.

[0044] The temporary placement mechanism is equipped with at least one temporary placement area for temporarily placing a carrier; furthermore, the temporary placement area may be located above, below, or at least to one side of the working area of ​​the material placement device, and the temporary placement area may be located on the machine base 20, or a frame may be mounted on the machine base 20, and the temporary placement area may be set on the frame; depending on the operation requirements, the temporary placement mechanism is provided with at least one frame, the frame is provided with at least one temporary placement area with a through hole for the carrier to pass through, and at least one temporary support is provided around the through hole in the temporary placement area for temporarily placing the carrier.

[0045] In this embodiment, the transfer device 40 is mounted on the machine base 20 and above the first and second working areas 32A and 32B. The frame 41 has a first temporary storage area 421 along the first transfer path L1 in the first working area 32A. The first temporary storage area 421 has a first through hole 422 in the frame 41, and a plurality of first temporary supports 423 are arranged around the first through hole 422 to support and release a first carrier, which is a first compartment. The frame 41 also has a second temporary storage area 424 along the second transfer path L2 in the second working area 32B. The second temporary storage area 424 has a second through hole 425 in the frame 41, and a plurality of second temporary supports 426 are arranged around the second through hole 425 to support and release a second carrier, which is a second compartment.

[0046] The track-type transport mechanism is located on one side of the temporary mechanism and is driven by a driver to move at least one transporter along a preset track. The transporter takes out or places a vehicle in the temporary area located on the track according to a preset operating sequence, thereby automatically performing the operation of replenishing or unloading the vehicle. Furthermore, the track-type transport mechanism referred to in this invention refers to a drive unit having a track-based transport path to drive a transporter to perform cyclic or reciprocating displacement along the track-based transport path. For example, the drive unit forms a linear or circular track-based transport path using a fixed track or slide rail. For example, the drive unit forms a linear or circular track-based transport path using a conveyor belt or rope. When the drive unit transports a single transporter, the single transporter can perform cyclic or reciprocating displacement along the track-based transport path formed by the track or conveyor belt. When the drive unit transports multiple transporters, the multiple transporters can sequentially perform cyclic or reciprocating displacement along the track-based transport path formed by the track or conveyor belt. The track-based transport path further includes a vehicle exchange unit (not shown in the figure). The vehicle exchange unit is used to accommodate a first vehicle or a second vehicle, or to accommodate both a first vehicle and a second vehicle. The transporter can be a gripper, magnetic gripper, tray, fastener, or suction device, and is not limited to this embodiment.

[0047] In this embodiment, a track-type transport mechanism is positioned above the first temporary area 421 and the second temporary area 424 of the temporary storage mechanism, and is equipped with a driver 431 having a circular track transport path P. The track transport path P covers the first temporary area 421, the second temporary area 424, and the vehicle exchange unit. The driver 431 drives the assembly suspension to perform cyclical displacement of the first transporter 432, the second transporter 433, etc., along the track transport path P, passing through the first temporary area 421, the second temporary area 424, and the vehicle exchange unit. The first transporter 432 and the second transporter 433 are grippers, and... According to a preset operating sequence, the first transporter 432 moves along the first transport path L1 or the second transport path L2 in the Z direction to the first temporary area 421 or the second temporary area 424 to retrieve or place the first or second compartment. For example, the first transporter 432 retrieves an empty first compartment or places a first compartment containing an electronic component to be tested and a first tray in the first temporary area 421 along the first transport path L1 according to a preset operating sequence. Similarly, the second transporter 433 places an empty second compartment or retrieves a second compartment containing a tested electronic component and a second tray in the second temporary area 424 along the second transport path L2 according to a preset operating sequence.

[0048] The transfer mechanism is equipped with at least one transferor, which moves relative to the transporter of the rail-type transport mechanism to pick up and place the vehicle in the temporary area; the transferor can be engaged with at least one part of the vehicle and drive the vehicle to move in at least one direction, the aforementioned at least one part can be the bottom surface, top surface, or any panel or block of the vehicle, etc.; the transferor can be a pick-up device or a bracket; for example, the transferor is a bracket and moves the vehicle in at least one direction, for example, the transferor is a pick-up device and clamps the vehicle in at least one direction. Furthermore, the transfer device can be used to transfer a material placement device and a temporary storage area carrier; or the transfer device can be used to transfer a material placement device and a temporary storage area carrier, as well as to move a tray into / out of the material placement device's conveyor; or the transfer device can be used to transfer a material placement device and a temporary storage area carrier, as well as to schedule carriers in a plurality of temporary storage areas; or the transfer device can be used to transfer a material placement device and a temporary storage area carrier, to schedule carriers in a plurality of temporary storage areas, and to transfer carriers in the first and second intermediate areas (not shown). Therefore, when the transfer path is configured with any one or more of a material placement device, a temporary storage area, a first intermediate area, or a second intermediate area, the transfer mechanism can use one or more transfer devices to move carriers along the transfer path, not limited to this embodiment.

[0049] In this embodiment, the transfer mechanism includes a first transferor 441 and a second transferor 442. The first transferor 441 is a bracket located in the first working area 32A and can move in the Z direction along the first transfer path L1 to transfer the first bin between the first working area 32A and the first temporary area 421. For example, it can transfer the empty first bin in the first working area 32A to the first temporary area 421, or transfer the next first bin with a plurality of first trays in the first temporary area 421 to supplement the first working area 32A. The first transferor 441 can also transfer the first tray containing the electronic components to be tested in the first bin to the first conveyor 36A. The second transferor 442 is a bracket located in the second working area 32B and can move in the Z direction along the second transfer path L2 to transfer the second bin between the second working area 32B and the second temporary area 424. For example, it can transfer an empty second bin from the second temporary area 424 to the second working area 32B, or transfer a second bin with a plurality of second trays from the second working area 32B to the second temporary area 424. The second transferor 442 can also transfer the second tray with measured electronic components on the second conveyor 36B to the second bin.

[0050] Please see Figure 5The drive 431 of the track-type transport mechanism drives the first transporter 432, the second transporter 433, etc., to move cyclically along the track transport path P, passing through the carrier exchange unit (not shown). According to a preset operating sequence, the first transporter 432 retrieves a first compartment 71 containing a plurality of first trays 73 from the carrier exchange unit. The first trays 73 contain a plurality of electronic components to be tested. The second transporter 433 retrieves an empty second compartment 72 from the carrier exchange unit. The drive 431 drives the first transporter 432 to move the first compartment 71 above the first temporary area 421, and drives the second transporter 433 to move the second compartment 72 above the second temporary area 424. The first transporter 432... 2. The first container 71 is placed in the first temporary support 423 of the first temporary storage area 421 by Z-direction displacement along the first transfer path L1, and the second transporter 433 is placed in the second temporary support 426 of the second temporary storage area 424 by Z-direction displacement along the second transfer path L2. Therefore, the first transporter 432 and the second transporter 433 of the track-type transport mechanism can automatically replenish the first container 71 and the second container 72 in the first temporary storage area 421 and the second temporary storage area 424 of the temporary storage mechanism, respectively. The test operation equipment does not need to wait for personnel or trolleys to transport the first container 71 and the second container 72, thereby reducing the replenishment operation sequence and operation time of the first container 71 and the second container 72, and thus improving production efficiency.

[0051] Please see Figure 2 , Figure 4 , Figure 6The drive 431 of the track-type transport mechanism drives the first transporter 432, the second transporter 433, etc., to move cyclically along the track transport path P, leaving the first temporary area 421 and the second temporary area 424 above; the first transferor 441 of the transfer mechanism moves along the first transfer path L1 in the Z direction, passes through the first through hole 422, and supports the first compartment 71 at the first temporary area 421. The first temporary support 423 detaches from the first compartment 71, and the first transferor 441 then moves the first compartment 71 from the first temporary area 421 to the first working area 32A and places it in the first... On the support frame 31A, the first control plate 35A moves in the X direction to lock and limit the first material tray 73. After the first control box 34A opens the first stop on the bottom surface of the first storage box 71, the first transfer device 441 places the first material tray 73 containing the electronic component to be tested on it, and moves in the Z direction along the first transfer path L1 to remove the first material tray 73 from the first storage box 71. The first material tray 73 is then placed on the first conveyor 36A so that the first conveyor 36A can move the first material tray 73 in the first working area 32A in the Y direction to the first material placement area 33A to supply the electronic component to be tested. Similarly, the second transferor 442 moves along the second transfer path L2 in the Z direction, passes through the second through hole 425, and supports the empty second compartment 72 at the second temporary area 424. The second temporary support 426 disengages from the second compartment 72, and the second transferor 442 moves the second compartment 72 from the second temporary area 424 to the second working area 32B and places it on the second support 31B for receiving the second tray 74 containing the tested electronic components.

[0052] Please see Figure 7 When the first tray 71 of the first work area 32A is empty, the first tray 71 can be directly unloaded in the first work area 32A using the transfer device 40, or the first tray 71 can be unloaded using a trolley with a robotic arm (not shown in the figure). For example, according to the unloading and replenishment sequence, the empty first tray 71 can be unloaded in the first work area 32A using the trolley and the robotic arm, and the first tray of the next electronic component to be tested can be replenished by the transfer device 40. For example, when the trolley is processing other testing equipment and cannot unload the empty first tray 71 of the first work area 32A in time, the transfer device 40 can unload the empty first tray 71 in the first work area 32A and replenish the first tray of the next electronic component to be tested in the first work area 32A.

[0053] In this embodiment, the trolley cannot immediately unload the empty first compartment 71 in the first working area 32A. The first transfer device 441 of the transfer device 40 can move the empty first compartment 71 in the first working area 32A along the first transfer path L1 in the Z direction and temporarily place it on the first temporary support 423 in the first temporary area 421. The driver 431 of the track-type transport mechanism drives the third transporter 434, the fourth transporter 435, etc. to move in a cyclical manner along the track transport path P, so that the third transporter 434 is positioned above the first temporary area 421 according to the preset operating sequence, and takes out and unloads the empty first compartment 71 in the first temporary area 421 along the first transfer path L1. The fourth transporter 435 has already transported the next first compartment 71A with the electronic component to be tested and the first material tray 73A.

[0054] Please see Figure 7 , Figure 8 The driver 431 continues to drive the third transporter 434, the fourth transporter 435, etc., to move along the track transport path P in a cyclical displacement. According to the preset operating sequence, the third transporter 434 moves the empty first bin 71 away from the first temporary area 421, and the fourth transporter 435 is positioned above the first temporary area 421. Since the fourth transporter 435 has already transported the next first bin 71A containing the electronic component to be tested and the first tray 73A, the fourth transporter 435 places the next first bin 71A in the first temporary support 423 of the first temporary area 421 along the first transport path L1, so that the first transporter 441 can take out the next first bin 71A in the first temporary area 421 along the first transport path L1 and move it to the first working area 32A, thereby quickly completing the bin replenishment operation to continue supplying the next batch of first trays 73A containing the electronic component to be tested, achieving the practical benefit of improving production efficiency.

[0055] Please see Figure 9The second embodiment of the transfer device 40 differs from the first embodiment in that the temporary placement mechanism adds a plurality of third temporary placement areas 427 to the frame 41, and uses the frame 41 as a temporary support for the carrier that holds the first compartment 71 or the second compartment 72. At least one first intermediate area 451 is provided on the frame 41, with a third through hole 452. A plurality of third temporary supports 453 are provided around the third through hole 452 to hold the first compartment 71 or the second compartment 72. A second intermediate area 454 is provided on the third transfer path L4 of the first intermediate area 451, with a fourth temporary support 455 disposed thereon. The second intermediate area 454 is located between the first working area 32A and the second working area 32B to hold the first compartment 71 or the second compartment 72. The transfer mechanism further... A third transferor 443 is installed above the frame 41 to move the first storage box 71 or the second storage box 72 between the first temporary area 421, the second temporary area 424, the third temporary area 427 and the first intermediate area 451. Depending on the operation requirements, the third transferor 443 can also move the first storage box 71 or the second storage box 72 to the second intermediate area 454 along the third transfer path L4. In addition, a fourth transferor 444 is installed below the frame 41 to move and transfer the first storage box 71 or the second storage box 72 between the first working area 32A, the second working area 32B and the second intermediate area 454. However, the third transferor 443 can be combined with a fifth transferor 445 to continue moving and transferring the first storage box 71 or the second storage box 72 between the first intermediate area 451 and the second intermediate area 454 to improve the production efficiency of the storage boxes.
