[0055] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the integrated chip module release, sorting, and packaging device according to an embodiment of this application. Figure 2 for Figure 1 Internal structure diagram.

[0056] The integrated device includes:

[0057] The system includes a chip module release module 100, a chip module deburring module 200, and a sorting module 300.

The deburred chip modules are then sorted to distinguish between good and defective modules. Based on the identification results, the chip modules are placed into their respective trays. In this embodiment, the sorting module 300 employs a dual-sorting station.

[0058] Please refer to the following. Figures 3 to 12 The chip module release module 100 proposed in this application is described in detail. The chip module release module is used to eject the chip module to facilitate its pickup at the next work station.

[0059] The chip module release module 100 includes:

[0060] Base 110, on which a feeding bin clamping mechanism 120 is disposed, the feeding bin clamping mechanism 120 includes:

[0061] First feeding bin clamp 121 and second feeding bin 122

[0062] The first feeding bin clamp 121 is equipped with a first lifting mechanism 121a and a first transmission mechanism 121b.

[0063] The second feeding bin clamp 122 is equipped with a second lifting mechanism 122a and a second transmission mechanism 122b.

[0065] In this embodiment, the first feeding bin clamp 121 and the second feeding bin clamp 122 have the same structure. The following description uses the second feeding bin clamp 122 as an example. The second feeding bin clamp 122 is matched with a second transfer mechanism 122b, which is used to transfer the carrier 10 from the second feeding bin clamp 122 to a predetermined position so that it can be transferred to the ejection station by the transfer mechanism 130.

A partition 123 is mounted on the second transmission mechanism 122b and is positioned on the carrier transmission track. The partition 123 facilitates the cleaning of debris generated during carrier transmission. A sensor 126 is mounted at the end of the side plate 125b to detect the entry and exit of the carrier 10. In other embodiments, the structures of the first feeding bin clamp 121 and the second feeding bin 122 may differ.

Sensors 133 / 134 are mounted on one side of the bracket to detect the entry and exit of the carrier. Driven by the drive unit 136, the carrier on the transfer mechanism 130 is transferred to a predetermined position and then enters the track of the lower ejector mechanism 140, moving to the predetermined position of the lower ejector mechanism 140.

[0071] The lower ejector pin mechanism 140 and the upper ejector plate transfer mechanism 150 engage in a pressing action to release the chip module. Specifically,

The output of the drive unit 144 is connected to a drive shaft 145. The output side of the drive shaft 145 is connected to a drive wheel 145a. The drive wheel 145a is connected to a driven wheel 146 via a conveyor belt. The drive unit 144 drives the drive shaft 145 to rotate, which in turn drives the drive wheel 145a to rotate, and thus the driven wheel 146 to rotate. In this embodiment, a pressure sensor is disposed on the output end 141a side to detect the output pressure of the electric cylinder 141. The lower push pin component 147 is configured to be detachable. The lower push pin component 147 is disposed with a plurality of push pin portions 147a arranged in a staggered manner.

[0075] The top plate moving mechanism 150 includes:

[0076] A pair of parallel mounting brackets 151, one bracket 151 is equipped with a linear motor 152, and the other bracket 151 is equipped with a guide rail 152a.

[0077] The base 153 is connected to the output end of the linear motor 152 and is slidably connected to the guide rail 152a.

[0078] A drive cylinder 154 is mounted on the base 153. The output end 154a of the drive cylinder 154 is connected to the upper PIN board component 155. The upper PIN board component 155 is equipped with a clamping part 155a, which allows for quick installation of the upper PIN board component 155. The base 153 is also equipped with a guide component 154b. Thus, the base 153 is moved by the drive of the linear motor 152. Driven by the drive cylinder 154, the upper PIN board component 155 moves downward and matches and presses against the ejector pin part 147a of the lower PIN component 147 to release the chip module on the carrier. A suction nozzle 155b is provided on the upper PIN board component 155. The end of the suction nozzle 155b is coated with rubber 155b1 (the top of the contact surface with the module is coated with rubber) to prevent scratching the module.

[0079] The CCD scanning detection module 160 is used to detect the modules transmitted to the carrier 10 on the lower ejector mechanism 140 in real time.

[0080] The deburring module 200 includes a feed end 210, which receives chip modules ejected by the chip module release module 100. Typically, the feed end 210 is equipped with a tray for temporarily holding the ejected chip modules.

[0081] The tray is transported to a predetermined position via the first transfer component 220, picked up by the picking module 230, and moved to the deburring station 240. At the deburring station 240, deburring (removing burrs and surface residue) is performed by a rotating brush 241. An antistatic device 242 is installed on one side of the brush 241. The picking module 230 places the deburred chip module at the discharge end, and then transports it to the sorting module 300. In this embodiment, the rotation speed of the brush 241 is adjustable (adjustable according to different types of chip modules and temporary fixing adhesives; it is usually preset during the operation of the deburring module). The deburring module is equipped with a human-machine interface (HMI), through which control commands are input to ensure normal operation of the deburring module.

[0082] Sorting module 300 includes:

[0083] The lower rack 310 has a base plate 311 mounted on it. The base plate 311 has a second transmission component 320 mounted on it. Downstream of the second transmission component 320, a dual-station sorting module 330 (first sorting module 330a / second sorting module 330b) is mounted.

[0084] Good products sorted by the sorting head of the first sorting module 330a are placed in the first storage bin 340a, and defective products are placed in the storage box 351.

[0085] Good products sorted by the sorting head of the second sorting module 330b are placed in the second storage bin 340b, and defective products are placed in the storage box 352. In this embodiment, the sorting heads of the first sorting module 330a and the second sorting module 330b are both configured on the first Y-rail beam 370, which is configured to be perpendicular or substantially perpendicular to the second transmission component 320. A second Y-rail beam 360 is also configured on the lower frame 310. The second Y-rail beam 360 is configured parallel to the first Y-rail beam 370 and is located downstream of the first Y-rail beam 370. A transfer part 361 is configured on the second Y-rail beam 360 for loading empty trays.

[0086] In this way, when the integrated device is running, the chip module is ejected by the chip module release module 100, then deburred by the deburring module 200, and sorted by the dual-station sorting module 300, which enables efficient sorting of chip modules, greatly reducing the space requirements, and the degree of human intervention in the whole process is very small.

[0087] The above embodiments are only for illustrating the technical concept and features of this application, and are intended to enable those skilled in the art to understand the content of this application and implement it accordingly. They should not be used to limit the scope of protection of this application. All equivalent changes or modifications made in accordance with the spirit and essence of this application should be included within the scope of protection of this application.
