Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of chip sorting, and in particular to a sorting mechanism and sorting management method. Background Technology

[0002] After chip production is complete, testing is required. The testing system tests each chip one by one according to a pre-set program. After the chip passes the program test, different failure items are identified, and a robotic arm places the chips into different sorting tubes. Chips in the same sorting tube have the same type of defect. When a chip passes all the steps of the program test, it is considered a good product, and the robotic arm will also place good chips into the same sorting tube.

[0003] To facilitate differentiation of the defective levels of chips within different sorting tubes, labels are often affixed to the tubes for identification. Workers need to read the labels to understand the chip condition within the tube. Furthermore, the labels may fall off during the storage of the sorting tubes, rendering the classification meaningless and requiring re-inspection. This increases the difficulty of identifying chips within the tubes and reduces sorting efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To reduce the difficulty of distinguishing defective chip types and improve chip sorting efficiency, this application provides a sorting mechanism and sorting management method.

[0005] The material distribution mechanism and material distribution management method provided in this application adopt the following technical solution:

[0006] In a first aspect, a material sorting mechanism includes a frame, on which a detection component, a robotic arm, and a material sorting table are arranged sequentially from top to bottom;

[0007] The sorting station is connected with multiple sorting tubes at intervals. The robotic arm is used to put the chip into the corresponding sorting tube according to the detection result of the detection component. Each of the sorting tubes is connected to a replacement component for replacing the sorting tube.

[0008] The replacement component includes a clamping component, a driving component, and a control component. The clamping component is used to clamp the dispensing tube. The clamping component is provided with a feeding component for placing the dispensing tube into the clamping component, a spraying component for spraying paint on the dispensing tube, and a storage component for collecting the dispensing tube filled with chips at intervals around its periphery. The driving component is connected to the clamping component and is used to drive the clamping component to connect sequentially to the feeding component, the spraying component, the dispensing platform, and the storage component. The control component is connected to the driving component and is used to control the position of the dispensing tube.

[0009] By adopting the above technical solution, the replacement component ensures that the sorting tube remains completely contactless with the operator throughout the entire process, from feeding and holding chips to storage. This prevents operators from accidentally placing the wrong sorting tube. Simultaneously, the sorting tube is unmarked before replacement. After entering the clamping component, the sorting tube is sequentially connected to the coating component, sorting table, and storage component via drive and control components. The coating component colors the sorting tubes, with different tubes corresponding to different colors. Color is easier to distinguish than labels. After coating, the sorting tube is placed directly on the sorting table for chip storage, further reducing the probability of misplacement. Once the sorting tube is full of chips, it is stored by the storage component, saving operators the step of replacing and rearranging the sorting tubes. This overall reduces the difficulty of distinguishing defective chip types and improves chip sorting efficiency.

[0010] Optionally, the material distribution platform is provided with a plurality of vertically arranged material distribution through holes at horizontal intervals, and the material distribution pipe is located below the material distribution through holes and is connected to each material distribution through hole in a corresponding manner.

[0011] By adopting the above technical solution, since the sorting tube is in a moving state, the movement position of the robot arm can be determined through the sorting through-hole. The lower end of the sorting tube is connected to the sorting through-hole, so that when the robot arm places a chip into the sorting through-hole, the chip can fall into the sorting tube. Furthermore, when the position of the sorting tube changes, the difficulty of disassembling the sorting tube and the sorting table is reduced, thereby improving chip sorting efficiency.

[0012] Optionally, the clamping member includes a clamping disc and a locking member;

[0013] The clamping plate is horizontally located below the dispensing platform. The driving component is connected to the clamping plate and drives the clamping plate to rotate along its own axis. The clamping plate is evenly spaced around its circumference with four clamping slots for clamping the dispensing tube.

[0014] When one of the clamping slots is directly opposite the material distribution through hole, the feeding assembly, the spraying assembly, and the storage assembly are respectively connected to one of the clamping slots; the locking member is connected to the material distribution table and is used to press against the material distribution tube or move away from the material distribution tube along the direction close to the axis of the clamping plate.

[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, a sorting tube passes through four parts—the feeding component, the sorting table, the spraying component, and the storage component—as it rotates on the clamping plate. In order to improve the clamping efficiency of the clamping plate and the loading and unloading efficiency of the sorting tube without affecting chip sorting, four clamping slots are opened on the clamping plate. When the clamping plate rotates, a sorting tube is placed in each clamping slot, so that the feeding component, the spraying component, and the storage component are always in operation, thereby shortening the loading and unloading time of the sorting tube as a whole. This is suitable for large-volume chip sorting and improves chip sorting efficiency.

[0016] Optionally, the feeding assembly includes a feeding bracket and a clamping member. The feeding bracket is horizontally arranged and has a dispensing groove on one side facing one of the clamping slots. The dispensing groove is used to store empty dispensing tubes and is arranged radially along the clamping plate. The clamping member is installed on the feeding bracket and is used to push the dispensing tubes to move in a direction close to the clamping plate.

[0017] By adopting the above technical solution, the pressing member squeezes the distributing tube along the direction close to the clamping plate, so that the distributing tube closest to the clamping plate and the peripheral wall of the clamping plate are in a sliding contact state. Once one of the clamping slots connects with the distributing slot, the distributing tube will enter the clamping slot. Then, the clamping plate continues to rotate forward, driving the distributing tube to connect with the distributing through hole. At this time, the locking member can strengthen the connection between the distributing tube and the clamping plate, so that the distributing tube and the clamping plate rotate together. Afterward, the pressing member will push the new distributing tube to press against the clamping plate, thereby achieving the effect of automatic feeding.

[0018] Optionally, the driving component includes a drive motor and a drive support rod. The drive support rod is vertically arranged, with one end coaxially connected to the output shaft of the drive motor and the other end rotatably connected to the material distribution table. The clamping plate is coaxially mounted on the drive support rod.

[0019] By adopting the above technical solution, the loading and unloading of the entire distribution pipe is driven by the rotation of the clamping plate. Therefore, in order to ensure the position and stability of the clamping plate during rotation, a drive motor drives the drive support rod to rotate, thereby causing the clamping plate to rotate along its own axis. The drive support rod is connected to the distribution table, thereby enhancing the stability of the drive support rod during rotation and reducing the probability of deformation and swaying of the drive support rod.

[0020] Optionally, the storage assembly includes a storage box and a push wheel. A feeding channel for the dispensing tube to enter the storage box is horizontally arranged on one side of the storage box. The feeding channel is located below the clamping plate and slides against the bottom of the dispensing tube. The push wheel is coaxially connected to the drive support rod. Four fan blades are evenly arranged in the circumference on the push wheel. The fan blades are located above the feeding channel and push the dispensing tube to move in the direction close to the feeding channel. The fan blades are staggered with the clamping slot on the horizontal plane.

[0021] By adopting the above technical solution, when the dispensing tube is full of chips, the clamping plate continues to rotate in the forward direction until it clamps the card slot and the feeding channel. The fan blades on the push wheel can push the dispensing tube away from the clamping plate and slide forward along the feeding channel layout direction, thereby realizing the storage of the dispensing tube and providing space for subsequent new dispensing tubes to enter the feeding channel.

[0022] Optionally, the clamping plate is connected to an ejector spring arranged radially along the clamping plate. One end of the ejector spring is connected to the groove wall of the clamping slot and the other end is connected to an ejector plate. The ejector plate is tightly connected to the material distribution pipe.

[0023] By adopting the above technical solution, when the distributing tube is placed in the clamping slot, the distributing tube pushes the ejector plate to move towards the ejector spring. The ejector spring retracts, and when the clamping disc rotates, the locking device limits the distributing tube. When the distributing tube is directly facing the feeding channel, the distributing tube disengages from the locking device, and the ejector spring extends, causing the ejector plate to push the distributing tube out of the clamping slot and into the feeding channel.

[0024] Optionally, the locking component includes a locking ring, which is installed on the lower end face of the dispensing platform and coaxially sleeved on the clamping plate. The inner peripheral wall of the locking ring abuts against the peripheral wall of the dispensing pipe. The locking ring is horizontally provided with a first connecting groove connecting the dispensing groove and the clamping slot, and a second connecting groove connecting the feeding channel and the clamping slot.

[0025] By adopting the above technical solution, the material distribution tube is pushed into the clamping slot by the clamping member. As the clamping plate rotates, the peripheral wall of the material distribution tube is clamped by the ejector plate and the locking ring in both directions, so that the material distribution tube moves together with the clamping plate. When the material distribution tube is facing the feeding channel, the ejector spring pushes the material distribution tube through the second connecting groove into the feeding channel, thereby realizing the loading and unloading of the material distribution tube.

[0026] Optionally, the control component includes a control system, a first sensor, and a second sensor. The control system is electrically connected to the drive motor and the spraying assembly. The first sensor is installed on the lower end face of the dispensing table and is used to detect whether the chip in the dispensing tube is full. The first sensor is electrically connected to the control system. The second sensor is connected to the spraying assembly and is used to detect the position of the dispensing tube that has moved to the spraying assembly. The second sensor is also electrically connected to the control system.

[0027] By adopting the above technical solution, when the clamping disc moves the dispensing tube to the spraying assembly, the second sensor can sense the position of the dispensing tube, and the control system controls the spraying assembly to spray paint on the dispensing tube, thereby improving the spraying efficiency and accuracy of the spraying assembly. After the clamping disc moves the sprayed dispensing tube directly below the dispensing through hole, the chip falls into the dispensing tube. The first sensor senses the number of chips in the dispensing tube. Once the dispensing tube is full of chips, the control system controls the drive component to drive the clamping disc to continue rotating forward, so that the clamping disc moves the chip-filled dispensing tube away from the dispensing through hole while simultaneously moving the empty dispensing tube closer to the dispensing through hole.

[0028] Secondly, a material distribution management method includes the following steps:

[0029] S1. Loading: The drive unit drives the clamping plate to rotate forward until one of the clamping slots is directly facing the distributing slot. The clamping unit pushes the distributing tube closest to the clamping plate into the clamping slot.

[0030] S2, painting: After the dispensing tube enters the clamping slot, the clamping plate continues to rotate forward until the second sensor senses that the dispensing tube is facing the painting assembly. The control system then controls the painting assembly to paint the dispensing tube.

[0031] S3. After the material distribution tube is painted, the clamping plate continues to rotate forward until the material distribution tube is connected to the material distribution through hole. The robot arm puts the chip into the corresponding material distribution tube according to the result detected by the detection component.

[0032] S4. Replacement tube: When the first sensor detects that the dispensing tube is full, the control system controls the drive motor to drive the clamping plate to continue rotating in the forward direction until the dispensing tube full of chips is facing the feeding channel. The dispensing tube is then pushed into the feeding channel by the ejector plate to complete the storage. Repeat the above steps to achieve continuous operation.

[0033] By adopting the above technical solution, the control system and drive components rotate the clamping disc in the forward direction, enabling the sorting tubes to automatically load, unload, identify, place, and organize chips. Different sorting tubes use different colored coatings, reducing the difficulty of sorting tube identification and improving the accuracy of identification. Autonomous loading and unloading of the sorting tubes also reduces the probability of misuse. Overall, this reduces the difficulty of distinguishing defective chip types and improves chip sorting efficiency.

[0034] In summary, this application includes at least one of the following beneficial technical effects:

[0035] 1. Throughout the entire process of feeding, placing chips, and storing the sorting tubes, the staff and the sorting tubes are in a state of non-contact, which avoids the situation of staff accidentally placing the wrong sorting tubes. At the same time, the sorting tubes are in an unmarked state before replacement. The sorting tubes are colored by a spraying component, and different sorting tubes correspond to different colors. Compared with label marking, color is easier for people to distinguish, thereby reducing the probability of misplacement of sorting tubes. Overall, it reduces the difficulty of distinguishing the types of defective chips and improves the chip sorting efficiency.

[0036] 2. The dispensing through-hole allows for precise positioning of the robotic arm. The dispensing tube connects to the lower end of the dispensing through-hole, facilitating the robotic arm's placement of chips into the dispensing tube. When the dispensing tube's position changes, the difficulty of disassembling the dispensing tube from the dispensing table is reduced, thereby improving chip sorting efficiency.

[0037] 3. The material distribution tube is pushed into the clamping slot by the clamping member. As the clamping plate rotates, the peripheral wall of the material distribution tube is clamped by the ejector plate and the locking ring, so that the material distribution tube moves together with the rotation of the clamping plate. When the material distribution tube is facing the feeding channel, the ejector spring pushes the material distribution tube through the second connecting groove into the feeding channel, thereby realizing the loading and unloading of the material distribution tube.

[0043] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figure 1-4 This application will be described in further detail.

[0044] This application discloses a material dispensing mechanism. (Refer to...) Figure 1 and Figure 2 The material distribution mechanism includes a frame 1, on which, from top to bottom, are arranged a detection component 2, a robotic arm 3, a material distribution table 4, a material distribution pipe 5, and a replacement component 6.

[0045] The sorting platform 4 has multiple vertically arranged sorting through holes 41 spaced horizontally. Sorting tubes 5 are located below the sorting platform 4 and communicate with the sorting through holes 41. Each sorting through hole 41 has a corresponding sorting tube 5 connected below it, allowing chips to fall into the sorting tubes 5. The detection component 2 detects the chips and analyzes the causes of chip errors. Based on the type of error, it adjusts the number of sorting tubes 5 connected to the sorting through holes 41. The robotic arm 3 places the chips into the corresponding sorting through holes 41 based on the detection results of the detection component 2. A replacement component 6 is installed below each sorting through hole 41 to remove a sorting tube 5 filled with chips from the sorting through hole 41, while simultaneously connecting an empty new sorting tube 5 to the sorting through hole 41.

[0046] Therefore, the replacement component 6 includes a clamping component 61, a driving component 62, and a control component 63. The clamping component 61 holds the dispensing tube 5. Around the clamping component 61, there are spaced feeding components 7 for inserting the dispensing tube 5 into the clamping component 61, a spraying component 8 for spraying paint onto the dispensing tube 5, and a receiving component 9 for collecting the dispensing tube 5 filled with chips. The driving component 62 is connected to the clamping component 61 and can drive the clamping component 61 to connect sequentially to the feeding component 7, the spraying component 8, the dispensing platform 4, and the receiving component 9. The control component 63 is connected to the driving component 62 to facilitate timely observation of the status of the dispensing tube 5 and to control and adjust the position of the dispensing tube 5.

[0047] Throughout the entire process of feeding, placing chips, and storing the sorting tube 5, the staff remains in a non-contact state with the sorting tube 5, avoiding the possibility of staff misplacing the wrong sorting tube 5. The sorting tube 5 is unmarked before replacement. After entering the clamping component 61, the drive component 62 and control component 63 drive the sorting tube 5 to connect sequentially to the spraying component 8, the sorting table 4, and the storage component 9. The spraying component 8 paints the sorting tube 5 with different colors, making it easier to distinguish than labels. After spraying, the sorting tube 5 is then used to store chips, further reducing the probability of misplacing the sorting tube 5. Once the sorting tube 5 is full of chips, it is stored by the storage component 9, saving staff the step of replacing and rearranging the sorting tube 5, thus reducing the difficulty of distinguishing defective chip types and improving chip sorting efficiency.

[0048] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The clamping member 61 includes a clamping disc 611, an ejector and a locking member.

[0049] The clamping disc 611 is horizontally positioned below the dispensing platform 4. The driving component 62 includes a drive motor 621 and a drive support rod 622. The drive support rod 622 is vertically positioned below the dispensing platform 4. One end of the drive support rod 622 is coaxially connected to the output shaft of the drive motor 621, and the other end is rotatably connected to the dispensing platform 4. The clamping disc 611 is coaxially mounted on the drive support rod 622, and the drive motor 621 drives the clamping disc 611 to rotate along its own axis. The clamping disc 611 has four clamping slots 612 evenly spaced around its circumference to facilitate clamping four different states of the dispensing tubes 5. The ejector is installed in the clamping slot 612 of the clamping plate 611 so as to press against the distributing pipe 5 in a direction away from the axis of the clamping plate 611. The locking member is installed below the distributing table 4 and connected to the clamping plate 611. The locking member can press against the distributing pipe 5 in a direction close to the axis of the clamping plate 611 so that the distributing pipe 5 can move with the clamping plate 611 as it rotates through the ejector and the locking member.

[0050] In addition, the feeding assembly 7, the spraying assembly 8, and the receiving assembly 9 are located around the clamping disk 611. When one of the clamping slots 612 on the clamping disk 611 is directly opposite the dispensing through hole 41, the feeding assembly 7, the spraying assembly 8, and the receiving assembly 9 are each connected to a clamping slot 612, but they are not connected to the same clamping slot 612. This allows the clamping disk 611 to simultaneously feed a chip-filled dispensing tube 5 into the receiving assembly 9, clamp an empty dispensing tube 5 from the feeding assembly 7, and move an empty dispensing tube 5 close to the spraying assembly 8 for painting while one of the dispensing tubes 5 receives a chip falling through the dispensing through hole 41. This improves the space utilization of the clamping disk 611 and increases the replacement efficiency of the dispensing tube 5.

[0051] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The ejector includes an ejector spring 616 and an ejector plate 617. The ejector spring 616 is arranged radially along the clamping disc 611, with one end connected to the groove wall of the clamping slot 612 and the other end connected to the ejector plate 617. When the feed tube 5 enters the clamping slot 612, the ejector spring 616 retracts, and the ejector plate 617 abuts against the feed tube 5.

[0052] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 4 The locking component includes a locking ring 613. The locking ring 613 is mounted on the lower end face of the dispensing platform 4 and coaxially sleeved on the clamping plate 611. There is an annular gap between the locking ring 613 and the clamping plate 611 to allow the dispensing tube 5 to enter or exit the clamping slot 612. The outer peripheral wall of the locking ring 613 has a first connecting groove 614 opposite the feeding assembly 7 and a second connecting groove 615 opposite the receiving assembly 9. Both the first connecting groove 614 and the second connecting groove 615 are horizontally connected to the clamping slot 612.

[0053] When the dispensing tube 5 passes through the first connecting groove 614 and enters the clamping slot 612, it moves together with the clamping plate 611 to the space between the ejector plate 617 and the locking ring 613, where it is clamped. Since the clamping plate 611 does not clamp the dispensing tube 5 between the receiving component 9 and the feeding component, the first connecting groove 614 and the second connecting groove 615 are connected to reduce the processing difficulty of the locking ring 613. The locking ring 613 can be directly processed into an arc plate, thereby simplifying the processing steps.

[0054] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The control unit 63 includes a control system 631, a first sensor 632, and a second sensor 633. The control system 631 is electrically connected to the drive motor 621 and the spraying assembly 8.

[0055] The first sensor 632 is installed on the lower end face of the dispensing platform 4 and detects whether the chip in the dispensing tube 5 is full. The first sensor 632 is electrically connected to the control system 631.

[0056] Because the four clamping slots 612 on the clamping plate 611 are evenly spaced, the drive motor 621 only needs to rotate 90 degrees forward each time the dispensing tube 5 is replaced. However, when the drive motor 621 starts to rotate depends on whether the dispensing tube 5 facing the dispensing through hole 41 is full of chips. When the dispensing tube 5 is full of chips, the control system 631 controls the clamping plate 611 to continue rotating forward through the drive motor 621 until the empty dispensing tube 5 moves directly below the dispensing through hole 41 and the chip-filled dispensing tube 5 moves to the receiving component 9. Therefore, the dispensing through hole 41, the receiving component 9, the feeding component 7, and the spraying component 8 are evenly spaced around the axis of the clamping plate 611 on the horizontal plane.

[0057] In addition, the second sensor 633 is connected to the spraying assembly 8 and can detect the position of the dispensing pipe 5 that has moved to the spraying assembly 8. The second sensor 633 is electrically connected to the control system 631. When the second sensor 633 senses that the clamping plate 611 moves the dispensing pipe 5 to the spraying assembly 8, the control assembly spraying assembly 8 sprays paint on the dispensing pipe 5 for subsequent identification.

[0058] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The feeding assembly 7 includes a feeding bracket 71 and a clamping member 72. The feeding bracket 71 is horizontally arranged and has a dispensing groove 711 for storing empty dispensing tubes 5 on one side facing one of the clamping slots 612. The dispensing groove 711 is arranged radially along the clamping disk 611 and one end is connected to the first connecting groove 614. The clamping member 72 is installed on the feeding bracket 71 and is used to push the dispensing tube 5 to move in a direction close to the clamping disk 611.

[0059] When the clamping slot 612 on the clamping plate 611 is not connected to the distributing slot 711, the abutting member 72 pushes the distributing tube 5 in the direction close to the clamping plate 611. The distributing tube 5 closest to the clamping plate 611 abuts against the peripheral wall of the clamping plate 611 until one of the clamping slots 612 on the clamping plate 611 connects to the first connecting slot 614. The abutting member 72 pushes the distributing tube 5 into the clamping slot 612. At this time, the ejector plate 617 abuts against the distributing tube 5. As the clamping plate 611 rotates, it drives the distributing tube 5 to move between the locking ring 613 and the ejector plate 617. The locking ring 613 and the ejector plate 617 clamp the distributing tube 5. At this time, the abutting member 72 will push the new distributing tube 5 to abut against the peripheral wall of the clamping plate 611 so that the entire mechanism can continue to work.

[0060] Reference Figure 3 and Figure 4 The storage component 9 includes a storage box 91 and a push wheel 92. A feeding channel 911 is horizontally arranged on one side of the storage box 91, allowing the distributing pipe 5 to enter the storage box 91. The feeding channel 911 is located below the clamping plate 611 and slides against the bottom of the distributing pipe 5. One end of the feeding channel 911 is connected to the second connecting groove 615. The push wheel 92 is coaxially connected to the drive support rod 622. Four circumferentially evenly arranged fan blades 921 are provided on the push wheel 92. The fan blades 921 are located above the feeding channel 911 and are staggered with the clamping slot 612 on the horizontal plane. The fan blades 921 are long, thin plates of elastic material to prevent damage to the fan blades 921 from contacting the feeding component 7 during rotation.

[0061] When one of the clamping slots 612 is connected to the second connecting slot 615, the ejector plate 617 pushes the material distribution pipe 5 to move the clamping slot 612 and enter the feeding channel. As the clamping plate 611 rotates, the fan blade 921 rotates to the feeding channel and pushes the material distribution pipe 5 to move away from the second connecting slot 615, so as to provide space for the subsequent material distribution pipe 5 to enter the feeding channel.

[0062] Reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 The spraying assembly 8 is mounted on the frame 1 and located below the dispensing platform 4. In order to reduce the impact of the fan blade 921 rotating on the spraying assembly 8, the spraying assembly 8 is located above the feeding assembly 7 and the receiving assembly. The spraying assembly 8 can spray the peripheral wall of the dispensing pipe 5 that does not contact the locking ring 613, which can facilitate the identification of the dispensing pipe 5 and provide time for the paint on the dispensing pipe 5 to dry.

[0063] The implementation principle of a material distribution mechanism in this application embodiment is as follows: When the material distribution tube 5 is replaced, the clamping disk 611 rotates 90 degrees in the forward direction. During the rotation of the clamping disk 611, the material distribution tube, which was originally located between the feeding assembly 7 and the clamping disk 611, moves to the spraying assembly 8. Through the second sensor 633, the control system 631 controls the spraying assembly 8 to spray paint the material distribution tube 5 to facilitate the identification of the chips inside the material distribution tube 5. The material distribution tube 5, which was originally located at the spraying assembly 8, moves to the area below the material distribution through hole 41 to collect the chips. The material distribution through hole 41, which was originally located at the area below the material distribution through hole 41, moves to the area below the material distribution through hole 41 to collect the chips. The sorting tube 5 moves to the receiving component 9 because the first sensor 632 detects that the sorting tube 5 is full. The ejector pushes the sorting tube 5 into the feeding channel, which is directly opposite the second connecting groove 615. The sorting tube 5, which was originally located in the feeding channel directly opposite the second connecting groove 615, is pushed away from the second connecting groove 615 by the fan blade 921, thereby realizing the closed loop of the replacement of the sorting tube 5. The whole process avoids the situation of workers misidentifying and misloading, and ultimately reduces the difficulty of distinguishing the defective types of chips and improves the chip sorting efficiency.

[0064] This application also discloses a material distribution management method, including the following steps:

[0065] S1. Loading: The drive unit 62 drives the clamping plate 611 to rotate forward until one of the clamping slots 612 is directly facing the distributing slot 711. The abutting member 72 pushes the distributing tube 5 closest to the clamping plate 611 into the clamping slot 612.

[0066] S2, painting: After the material distribution tube 5 enters the clamping slot 612, the clamping plate 611 continues to rotate in the forward direction until the second sensor 633 senses that the material distribution tube 5 is facing the spraying assembly 8, and the control system 631 controls the spraying assembly 8 to spray paint the material distribution tube 5.

[0067] S3. After the material distribution tube 5 is painted, the clamping plate 611 continues to rotate forward until the material distribution tube 5 is connected to the material distribution through hole 41. The robot arm 3 puts the chip into the corresponding material distribution tube 5 according to the result detected by the detection component 2.

[0068] S4. Replace the tube. When the first sensor 632 detects that the dispensing tube 5 is full, the control system 631 controls the drive motor 621 to drive the clamping plate to continue rotating in the forward direction until the dispensing tube 5 full of chips is facing the feeding channel 911.
