Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of chip programming technology, and more specifically to a universal high-speed chip programming system. Background Technology
[0002] With the development of automatic programming technology, many non-automatic and semi-automatic programming machines have not been replaced. Furthermore, with the evolution of IC chip packaging processes and technologies, IC chip packaging styles are constantly being innovated, making programming systems that can promptly meet the demands of high-speed production capacity particularly important.
[0003] Existing automated programming systems typically employ a single programmer as the basis, with a nozzle device and chip loading / unloading device added to the programmer disk to form a simple automated programming system. Therefore, its functionality is relatively limited, with weak versatility and poor adaptability; it can only automatically program IC chips in mainstream packages. If the chip package type is changed, the programmer in the programming system needs to be replaced, or even the entire programming system needs to be replaced, requiring a complete system update and increasing programming costs. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The technical problem solved by this invention is to provide a universal high-speed chip programming system that occupies little space, has strong versatility, fast programming speed, and high programming efficiency.
[0005] The technical solution adopted by this invention to solve its technical problem is: A universal high-speed chip programming system includes a feeding device, a lower camera automatic alignment device, several two-in-one programmers, a tray loading and unloading device, an XY-axis drive device, a nozzle device, an NG stage, a vision laser printing device, a tape receiving device, and a programming machine. The XY-axis drive device drives the nozzle device to pick up IC chips to be programmed at the feeding device or the tray loading and unloading device and transfer them to the several two-in-one programmers for programming. The XY-axis drive device also drives the nozzle device to pick up successfully programmed IC chips from the several two-in-one programmers and transfer them to the tape receiving device or the tray loading and unloading device for receiving, and to pick up IC chips that have failed to be programmed and transfer them to the NG stage. A marking station is provided on the carrier track of the tape receiving device, and the vision laser printing device is arranged above the marking station to print markings on the IC chips. The lower camera automatic alignment device is used for visual inspection and to calculate the distance between the upper camera and several nozzle heads in the nozzle device.
[0006] Furthermore, the two-in-one programmer includes a programmer housing, a programmer top cover, and multiple programming modules. Each programming module includes a programming top plate, a programming bottom plate, left and right insert plates, and a power supply module. The upper and lower ends of the left and right insert plates are electrically connected to the programming top plate and programming bottom plate via connectors to form a rectangular structure. The programming bottom plate is suspended and fixed to the bottom plate inside the programmer housing by several support columns and bolts. The power supply module is also suspended and fixed in the middle of the rectangular structure by several support columns and bolts. The lower end of the programming top plate is arranged front and back inside the programmer housing by several crisscrossing longitudinal beams and several transverse beams. The top plate has several sets of first connector terminals for electrical connection to the IC adapter. The IC adapter has multiple IC pins for mounting IC chips on its upper end. The IC adapter has second connector terminals for electrical connection to the first connector terminals on its lower end. The IC pins are electrically connected to the second connector terminals. The programmer housing has heat dissipation holes on its left and right sides and heat dissipation vents on its front and rear sides. Fans are installed on the inner walls of the heat dissipation vents. A heat dissipation channel is formed between the front and rear heat dissipation vents. The rectangular power supply module is suspended in the heat dissipation channel and is cooled by the fans.
[0007] Furthermore, the front and rear ends of the housing are also provided with a plug socket, a switch and a cable interface to form an independent two-in-one programmer. The plug socket is connected to the mains power through a plug cable, the switch controls the switch of the two-in-one programmer, and the cable interface transmits signals to the programming system through a cable.
[0008] Furthermore, the suction nozzle device includes several vertical power units, several suction nozzle modules, several rotary power units, a calibration module, and a vacuum generator. The number of the vertical power units, suction nozzle modules, and rotary power units corresponds one-to-one. The vertical power units drive the suction nozzle modules to move up and down, the rotary power units drive the suction nozzle modules to rotate, and the vacuum generator provides a vacuum source for the suction nozzles. The calibration module includes an upper camera assembly for visual inspection and a laser rangefinder for height and distance calculation. The suction nozzle module includes a suction rod and a bushing. The bushing is fitted onto the suction rod and splinedly connected to it. The upper and lower ends of the suction rod are respectively equipped with a suction rod adapter and a suction nozzle. The suction rod adapter is connected to the vacuum generator through a pipeline. The suction nozzle provides the vacuum source to the vacuum generator through the pipeline and the suction rod. The vertical power device drives the suction rod to move up and down within the bushing through a first main pulley, a first belt, a first driven pulley, and a first adapter block. The rotary power device drives the bushing and the suction rod to rotate synchronously through a second main pulley, a second belt, and a second driven pulley.
[0009] Furthermore, a first photoelectric sensor and a first sensing plate are provided between the vertical power device and the nozzle module for detecting and controlling the vertical movement of the nozzle module, and a second photoelectric sensor and a second sensing plate are provided between the rotary power device and the nozzle module for detecting and controlling the rotational movement of the nozzle.
[0010] Furthermore, the automatic lower camera alignment device includes a lower camera module and a camera bushing. The camera bushing is fitted onto and fixed to the lower camera module. A limit ring is provided on the outer side of the camera bushing, dividing the camera bushing into upper and lower ends. The lower end of the camera bushing passes through a camera mounting bracket and is flexibly fixed to a camera mounting base plate via a locking screw assembly. A large pulley is installed on the upper end of the camera bushing. The locking screw assembly controls the fixing and releasing of the camera bushing and the camera mounting bracket. The camera mounting bracket is fixed to the lower end of the mounting plate. The mounting plate has a through hole for easy upward image acquisition by the camera module. A ring light source is installed above the mounting plate via a light source bracket. The light source is positioned directly above the camera module and the through hole to provide the necessary light source for the camera module. A ring-shaped light-diffusing plate is also provided directly above the ring light source to homogenize the ring light source. The automatic lower camera alignment device also includes an adjusting shaft and a belt pressure roller assembly. The adjusting shaft passes through the mounting plate and the camera mounting bracket and is rotatably connected to them via a bearing. A small pulley is fixed on the adjusting shaft, and the small pulley is connected to the large pulley via a belt. The belt pressure roller assembly is used to adjust the tension of the belt. When the locking screw assembly releases the camera bushing, the adjusting shaft adjusts the image-taking position of the lower camera module through the small pulley, the belt, and the large pulley.
[0011] Furthermore, the disc loading and unloading device includes a disc loading and unloading machine, a track module, a feeding module, an unloading module, a printing module, and a platform module. The feeding module, the unloading module, the printing module, and the platform module are fixed above the disc loading and unloading machine via the track module, which extends out of the machine and into the burning machine. Platform guide rails are arranged front and back inside the track module. The platform module includes a platform and a platform power unit, which drives the platform to move back and forth on the platform guide rails within the track module. The feeding module, the unloading module, and the printing module are arranged sequentially front and back. A loading station, a discharging station, and a printing station are respectively formed on the track module. T-shaped support frames are provided on the left and right sides of the track module at the connection between the loading station and the discharging station. L-shaped loading support frames are provided on the left and right sides of the track module in front of the loading station. The L-shaped loading support frames on the left and right sides of the track module, together with one side of the T-shaped support frames, form the loading station. L-shaped discharging support frames are provided on the left and right sides of the track module behind the discharging station. The L-shaped discharging support frames on the left and right sides of the track module, together with the other side of the T-shaped support frames, form the discharging station. The loading module includes a loading section. The discharge module includes a power unit, a feeding support claw, and a tray separating gripper. The platform is driven by the platform power unit to a position below the feeding station. The feeding power unit drives the feeding support claw to move upwards, supporting several trays in the feeding station to a designated position. The tray separating gripper holds several trays above the bottom layer, separating the bottom layer tray onto the feeding support claw. The feeding power unit drives the feeding support claw to move downwards, placing the bottom layer tray onto the platform. The platform power unit drives the platform loaded with the bottom layer tray. In front of the track module, the XY axis drive device drives the suction nozzle device to pick up and place the bottommost TRAY disk. After the picking up and placing is completed, the platform carrying the TRAY disk is driven by its power device to the printing station for printing and marking. Then, it is driven by its power device to the discharge station. The discharge power device drives the discharge support claw to support the TRAY disk in the platform and move it upward. After the TRAY disk pushes out of the discharge claw, the discharge claw automatically resets to form the discharge support platform. The discharge power device drives the TRAY disk to move downward and reinstall the TRAY disk on the discharge support platform.
[0012] Furthermore, the tape-loading take-up device includes a carrier tape feeding module, a feeding swing arm control module, a carrier tape pin wheel assembly, a carrier tape track, a track width adjustment module, a sealing film position adjustment module, a pressure roller assembly, a power pin wheel module, a sealing film module, a carrier tape cutting module, a take-up tray module, and a frame. The carrier tape feeding module is used to mount multi-layer roll carrier tape. The platform passes sequentially through the rollers of the feeding swing arm control module and several carrier tape rollers into the carrier tape track. Within the carrier tape track, the pin wheels of the carrier tape pin wheel assembly, the sealing film position adjustment module, the pressure roller of the pressure roller assembly, and the power pin wheel of the power pin wheel module pass sequentially through the track. The pin wheels of the carrier tape pin wheel assembly and the power pin wheel are arranged on the same side. Both the pin wheels of the carrier tape pin wheel assembly and the power pin wheel pass through pinholes on one side of the carrier tape within the carrier tape track, and then through the power pin wheel... The motor of the force pin wheel module drives the power pin wheel to rotate, so as to move the carrier tape through the pin hole on one side of the carrier tape and convey it in the carrier tape track. The sealing film module is used to install the sealing film roll. The sealing film of the sealing film roll passes through several sealing film rollers in sequence to the sealing film position adjustment module for adjustment, and then is bonded to the carrier tape in the carrier tape track. The pressure roller module presses and bonds the sealing film and the carrier tape for packaging. The bonded carrier tape passes through the carrier tape cutting module and several discharge rollers to the receiving tray module for receiving. The machine frame is a vertical machine frame. The carrier tape feeding module, the feeding swing arm control module, the carrier tape track, the sealing film module, the carrier tape cutting module and the receiving tray module are regularly arranged on the front panel of the machine frame. The carrier tape track extends out of the machine frame into the burner.
[0013] Preferably, the programming machine is equipped with at least two 2-in-1 programmers. Each 2-in-1 programmer has two programming modules installed inside. Each programming module has eight connectors at its upper end, which are electrically connected to eight IC adapters. Each IC adapter has two IC sockets on its upper end, and each IC socket can hold one IC chip, thereby enabling the programming of sixty-four IC chips at once. The nozzle device has four independent nozzle modules, thereby enabling the simultaneous picking and handling of four IC chips.
[0014] This invention sets up independent feeding devices, tray feeding and discharging devices, and tape feeding and discharging devices. The feeding devices can adopt automatic tape feeding or be replaced with automatic tube feeding, thereby realizing three feeding and discharging modes and forming an automatic tray feeding and discharging system, an automatic tape feeding and discharging system, and an automatic tube feeding and discharging system. The feeding and discharging can be arbitrarily combined to achieve a universal chip feeding and discharging system.
[0015] The programming machine of this invention can accommodate two independent 2-in-1 programmers. Each 2-in-1 programmer includes two programming modules, and each programming module is connected to eight IC adapters. Each IC adapter has two IC pins. Therefore, each programming module can program sixteen IC chips, and each 2-in-1 programmer can program thirty-two IC chips. Thus, the universal high-speed programming system of this invention can simultaneously program sixty-four IC chips at high speed. Furthermore, only the IC adapters on the 2-in-1 programmer need to be replaced to quickly achieve production conversion programming. It is truly universal for various chip packages and has lower conversion costs.
[0016] Each 2-in-1 programmer includes an independent power supply module, power plug, switch, and cable interface. Therefore, if one of the programmers fails, you only need to disconnect the faulty 2-in-1 programmer and replace it with a new one, which is more efficient and less costly to maintain.
[0017] This invention integrates a lower camera automatic alignment device and an upper camera vision module on the nozzle device. Through the upper and lower vision cameras and system software algorithms, it further improves the precise positioning and visual inspection capabilities of the IC chip, achieving high-efficiency generation. System control enables fully automated programming of the entire programming system, effectively improving programming efficiency. Attached Figure Description

[0019] To make the above-mentioned objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more apparent and understandable, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Many specific details are set forth in the following description to provide a thorough understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention can be practiced in many other ways different from those described herein, and those skilled in the art can make similar modifications without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.
[0020] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains. The terminology used herein in the description of the invention is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the invention. The term "and / or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
[0021] like Figure 1-13 As shown, the present invention provides a universal high-speed chip programming system, including a feeding device 1, a lower camera automatic alignment device 2, several two-in-one programmers 3, a disc loading and unloading device 4, an XY axis drive device 5, a nozzle device 6, an NG stage 7, a vision laser printing device 8, and a tape receiving device 9.
[0022] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the feeding device 1 and the tape receiving device 9 are arranged horizontally on the lower left side of the machine base 10, while the tray receiving device is arranged horizontally on the upper right side of the machine base 10. The XY axis drive device 5 is arranged above the machine base 10 via a supporting gantry. The suction device 6 is vertically installed at the front end of the XY axis drive device 5 via an adapter frame. The lower camera automatic alignment device 2, the two-in-one programmer 3, and the NG carrier 7 are arranged on the machine base 10 below the XY axis drive device. The lower camera automatic alignment device 2 is arranged in front of the feeding device 1, the two-in-one programmer 3 is arranged behind the lower camera automatic alignment device 2, the NG carrier 7 is arranged in front of the tray loading and unloading device 4, and the laser printer device 8 is arranged at the printing station of the tape receiving device 9.
[0023] The aforementioned feeding device 1 is an independent feeding device that is inserted into the feeding socket in the programming machine 10 to provide the IC chips to be programmed to the programming system. In one embodiment, the feeding device 1 uses an electronic feeder, with two or more electronic feeders installed on the feeding socket. The electronic feeders and the tape receiving device 9 form an automatic tape loading and unloading system. In another embodiment, the feeding device 1 can be replaced with a fully automatic tube loading and unloading device to achieve tube loading and unloading. Only the feeding socket in the programming machine needs to be replaced to achieve rapid production changeover. Alternatively, the feeding device can be replaced with an automatic tube feeding device, which, together with the tray loading and unloading device 4 or the tape receiving device 9, forms a tube loading and tray (or tape) receiving system. The tray loading and unloading device also uses an independent tray receiving device and extends into the programming machine 10 via a track. The tray loading and unloading device 4 is an independent automatic tray loading and unloading system. This invention supports three types of feeding and discharging devices (Tray, Tape, and Tube) through a single programming system, thereby achieving universality in feeding and discharging.
[0024] The aforementioned XY-axis drive device drives the nozzle device 6 to pick up the IC chip to be programmed from the feeding device 1 (tape feeding or tube feeding) and place it onto the IC socket on the two-in-one programmer for programming. Successfully programmed IC chips are picked up by the nozzle device and transported by the XY-axis drive device to the reel-type receiving device 4 or tape-type receiving device 9 for receiving. Chips that fail to program are picked up by the nozzle device and transported by the XY-axis drive device to the NG stage. The nozzle device 6 is used to pick up IC chips, and the XY-axis drive device 5 is used to drive the nozzle device to move between the loading station, programming station, NG station, and receiving station.
[0025] The aforementioned automatic camera alignment device 2 is used to calculate the nozzle offset value or to perform optical inspection of the chip.
[0026] To mark the successfully programmed IC chips, the tray loading / unloading device 4 is equipped with a tray printing station and integrates a first printing mechanism. The first printing mechanism is driven by a power unit to print and mark the chips in the TRAY tray at the printing station. The tape receiving device 9 also has a tape printing station on its receiving guide rail, and a vision laser printing device 8 is installed above the tape printing station to print and mark the successfully programmed chips.
[0027] like Figure 3-5 The diagram shows the structure of a 2-in-1 programmer 3. The programmer 3 includes a programmer housing 31, a programmer top cover 32, and several programming modules 33. The programming modules 33 are installed inside the programmer housing 31. The programmer top cover 32 has an opening for easy connection between the IC adapter 34 and the connector terminals of the programming modules 33. The IC adapter includes an adapter PCB board. An IC socket is soldered to the upper end of the adapter PCB board, and a connector terminal for electrical connection with the programming modules is soldered to the lower end. The IC socket and the connector terminal of the IC adapter are electrically connected, thereby establishing an electrical connection between the IC adapter and the programming modules to program the IC chip in the IC socket. Furthermore, the adapter PCB board also has indicator LEDs to quickly indicate whether the IC adapter has successfully connected to the programming modules or not.
[0028] like Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, the programmer housing 31 has heat dissipation holes 311 on its left and right sides, and heat dissipation vents 312 on its front and rear sides. A fan 38 is installed on the inner wall of the heat dissipation vents 312, and the front and rear heat dissipation vents form a front and rear air duct through the fan. In this way, the fan actively dissipates heat from the programming module inside the housing, avoiding excessive heat from the programming module, which would affect the programming efficiency and even the lifespan of the programming module.
[0029] like Figure 4As shown, the programming module 33 includes a programming top plate 331, a main control board 332, a power supply board 333, a power supply module 334, and an IC power supply board 335. The programming top plate 331 serves as the top plate of the programming module 33, and the power supply board 333 serves as the programming bottom plate. The main control board and the IC power supply board serve as the left and right inserts between the top and bottom plates of the programming module, respectively. The upper and lower ends of the left and right inserts are electrically connected to the programming top plate and the programming bottom plate through connectors to form a rectangular three-dimensional structure. The bottom plate of the programming module 33 is suspended and mounted on the bottom plate of the programmer housing by several support columns and bolts. The power supply module 334 is also suspended and mounted in the middle position of the rectangular three-dimensional structure by several support columns and bolts. The connector at the upper end of the programming top plate 331 protrudes from the top cover of the programmer and connects to the IC adapter 34. The main control board on the left and the IC power supply board on the right are respectively located on the left and right sides inside the programmer housing, thereby suspending the power supply module 334 in the front and rear air ducts inside the programmer housing. The power supply module is suspended in the middle of the rectangular three-dimensional structure. On the one hand, it can effectively utilize the space of the programming module and reduce the size of the programming module, thereby reducing the size of the two-in-one programmer; on the other hand, the power supply module can be actively cooled by the fan 38 at the heat dissipation vent.
[0030] The top end of the programming board 331 is regularly provided with several connector terminals that are electrically connected to the IC adapter. The connector terminals of the IC adapter and the connector terminals on the programming board are male and female connector terminals, thus forming a connector to achieve electrical connection and perform signal and power transmission.
[0031] The main control board is the system's main controller for the programming module. It houses the system's main control circuitry, including a CPU chip, an FPGA chip, and a USB control chip. The power supply module converts AC mains power (AC 110V or 220V) to DC power (DC 12V). The power supply board then converts and distributes the 12V DC power to provide the necessary power to the main control board and IC power board, including several power supply chips. The IC power board primarily powers the IC adapter on the programming top board. The programming top board provides programming signals to the IC adapter via connectors at the top, including several FPGA chips and I / O signal circuits. The programming module's circuitry can be arranged according to specific needs. The advantage of using a rectangular, three-dimensional structure is that it effectively utilizes space while actively cooling internal components and chips through fans, ensuring optimal operating conditions and improving programming efficiency.
[0032] Furthermore, because the programming module is suspended inside the programming housing, when the nozzle device transports the IC chip to be programmed into the IC socket, it is necessary to ensure, on the one hand, the position of the programming top plate or IC adapter is accurate and does not shift; on the other hand, it is necessary to ensure that the programming top plate has a certain strength to prevent deformation due to pressure after prolonged use, which could prevent the IC chip from being correctly inserted into the IC socket, resulting in programming failure. Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, the lower end of the burning top plate is provided with several longitudinal beams 336 and several transverse beams 337, which together form a top plate support to provide a certain support force for the burning top plate and prevent deformation of the burning top plate caused by excessive pressure from the material handling device.
[0033] like Figure 4 As shown, the longitudinal beam 336 includes a left longitudinal beam 3361 and a right longitudinal beam 3362 on both sides. The left and right longitudinal beams are arranged vertically and parallel to each other and are fixedly connected to the inner wall of the outer shell. The left and right longitudinal beams are used to support several cross beams. The cross beam 337 includes an outer cross beam 3371 and several inner cross beams 3372 arranged horizontally and parallel to each other. The outer cross beam 3371 is arranged on the front and rear sides of the several inner cross beams 3372. The upper surfaces of the outer cross beam and the several inner cross beams are on the same horizontal plane, thereby providing strong support for the lower surface of the programming top plate 331 through the several cross beams, avoiding deformation of the programming top plate. Moreover, through the several longitudinal and cross beams crisscrossing at the lower end of the programming top plate and the several support columns at the lower end of the programming bottom plate (power supply board), the programming module 33 can be stably fixed in the programming outer shell 31.
[0034] like Figure 3 As shown, the front and rear ends of the programmer housing are also equipped with a switch 35, a plug connector 36, and a cable interface. The plug connector is used to connect the power plug, the switch is used to control the on / off state of the programming module, and the cable interface communicates with the host via a cable. The independent plug connector and switch allow for convenient and quick replacement of the two-in-one programmer in the programming machine without having to power off the entire programming machine system to replace the faulty two-in-one programmer.
[0035] like Figure 3-5As shown, two programming modules 33 are installed inside the programmer housing 31. Each programming module 33 has eight sets of connector terminals (one set for the front and one for the back) soldered onto its top programming plate 331. An IC adapter 34 is inserted into each set of connector terminals. Each IC adapter can have two IC sockets soldered onto it, and each IC socket can hold one IC chip. Therefore, each programming module can program eight IC adapters, enabling high-speed programming of sixteen IC chips. The two programming modules inside the programmer housing form a two-in-one programmer; therefore, one two-in-one programmer can program thirty-two IC chips at high speed. The two programming modules can operate independently, allowing them to program chips of different types or models.
[0036] When it is necessary to switch to programming different types of IC chips, only the IC adapter on the top board of the two-in-one programmer needs to be replaced, without replacing the entire programmer, thereby improving the efficiency of the switchover.
[0037] like Figure 2 As shown, the universal high-speed chip programming system of the present invention can be equipped with two two-in-one programmers 3, so the entire programming system can support thirty-two IC adapters and can program sixty-four IC chips at one time.
[0038] like Figure 6-8 The diagram shows the structure of the suction device 6. The suction device 6 includes several vertical power units 62, several suction modules 63, and several rotary power units 64. The number of vertical power units, suction modules, and rotary power units corresponds one-to-one. The vertical power units drive the suction modules to move up and down, while the rotary power units drive the suction modules to rotate. The suction modules and rotary power units are connected by splines, ensuring that the up-and-down and rotational movements of the suction modules do not interfere with each other.
[0039] Furthermore, such as Figure 6 As shown, the suction nozzle device 6 also includes a calibration module 65 and a vacuum generator 66. Several vertical power units 62, several suction nozzle modules 63, several rotary power units 64, the calibration module 65, and the vacuum generator 66 are regularly arranged and mounted on the Z-axis plate 61. The vacuum generator 66 provides a vacuum source for the suction nozzle modules 62, thereby controlling the suction and release actions of the suction nozzle head. The calibration module 65 performs calibration work on the entire suction nozzle loading and unloading system, thereby accurately calculating the relative distance (suction nozzle offset) and vertical lifting height of the entire system, ensuring the success rate and efficiency of material loading and unloading.
[0040] like Figure 7As shown, the suction module 63 includes a suction rod 632. The upper and lower ends of the suction rod 632 are respectively equipped with a suction rod adapter 631 and a suction head 634. The suction rod 632 is connected to the vacuum interface of the vacuum generator through the suction rod adapter 631 and the pipeline. The suction head 634 is provided with a vacuum source through the vacuum generator, pipeline and suction rod, thereby realizing vacuum suction and release actions.
[0041] To achieve the vertical and rotational movements of the suction module without interference, such as Figure 7 As shown, the upper part of the suction rod 632 is connected to the vertical power device 62 via a first adapter block 6301. The vertical power device 62 drives the first adapter block 6301 to move up and down, thereby driving the suction rod 632 to move up and down, realizing the up and down movement of the nozzle module. The lower part of the suction rod 632 is connected to the rotary power device 64 via a bushing 633. The rotary power device 64 drives the bushing 633 to rotate, thereby driving the suction rod 632 to rotate, realizing the rotational movement of the nozzle module. The bushing 633 is fitted onto the lower part of the suction rod 632 and splinedly connected to it. Through the spline structure, the suction rod 632 can move up and down within the bushing 633, and the bushing 633 drives the suction rod 632 to rotate through the spline structure, ensuring that the up and down movement and rotational movement of the nozzle module do not interfere with each other.
[0042] To ensure the smoothness and stability of the rotation of the suction rod 632, a first bearing 6303 is installed on the first adapter block 6301. The suction rod 632 passes through the first bearing 6303 and through the first adapter block 6301, and rotates smoothly within the first bearing 6303.
[0043] The vertical power unit 62 can be driven by a cylinder or a stepper motor to move the first adapter block 6301 up and down. The rotary power unit 64 can also be driven by a cylinder or a stepper motor to rotate the bushing 633 and the suction rod 632.
[0044] To ensure the accuracy of the suction nozzle feeding and discharging system of the present invention, and to achieve miniaturization of the suction nozzle device, both the vertical power device 62 and the rotary power device 64 preferably use stepper motors as power sources to drive the vertical movement of the first adapter block 6301 and to drive the bushing and suction rod to rotate.
[0045] Furthermore, such as Figure 7As shown, in one embodiment, a vertical power unit 62, powered by a stepper motor (vertical stepper motor), drives a first adapter block 6301 to reciprocate up and down via a first main pulley 621, a first belt 622, and a first driven pulley 623. The first adapter block 6301 is pressed and fixed to one side of the first belt 622 by a belt fixing plate 6302, so that it reciprocates up and down along one side of the first belt 622 when the first belt 622 reciprocates. The vertical stepper motor drives the first main pulley 621 to reciprocate, thereby driving the first adapter block 6301 to reciprocate up and down via the first belt 622. The first adapter block 6301 is disposed between the first belts 622 and is fixedly connected to the left side of the first belt 622 via the belt fixing plate. When the vertical stepper motor drives the first belt 622 to reciprocate, the first adapter block 6301 moves up and down along the left side of the first belt 622.
[0046] The rotary power unit 64, powered by a stepper motor (rotary stepper motor), also drives the bushing 633 and the suction rod 632 to rotate via a main pulley, a driven pulley, and a belt. The rotary power unit 64 drives the bushing 633 and the suction rod 632 to rotate together via a second main pulley 641, a second belt 642, and a second driven pulley 643. The rotary stepper motor drives the second main pulley 641 to reciprocate, which in turn drives the second driven pulley 643 to rotate via the second belt 642. This, in turn, drives the bushing 633 and the suction rod 632 to rotate synchronously, thus achieving the reciprocating rotation of the suction rod 632.
[0047] To ensure that the up-and-down movement and rotation of the nozzle head do not interfere with each other, the suction rod 632 and the bushing 633 adopt a spline structure to achieve a spline connection. The specific spline structure is not limited. The suction rod 632 passes through the bushing 633 and is splined thereto. The bushing 633 passes through and is fixed to the second driven pulley 643. The fixing method of the bushing 633 and the second driven pulley 643 is not limited, including but not limited to interference fit or fixing with screws. The vertical stepper motor drives the suction rod 632 to move up and down within the bushing 633 via the first main pulley 621, the first belt 622, and the first adapter block 6301. The rotary stepper motor drives the bushing 633 to rotate via the second main pulley 641, the second belt 642, and the second driven pulley 643. The bushing 633, through its spline structure, drives the suction rod 632 to rotate within the first bearing 6303. In this embodiment, a second bearing 6304 is also provided on the bushings 633 on the upper and lower sides of the second pulley 643, thereby further improving the stability and accuracy of the device.
[0048] like Figure 7As shown, the rotary power device 64 drives the bushing 633 to rotate smoothly and rapidly in the second bearing. The bushing 633, through a spline structure, synchronously drives the suction rod 632 to rotate smoothly and rapidly in the first bearing 6303. The first bearing 6303 and the second bearing ensure the stability and accuracy of the rotational movement of the suction module of this invention. Simultaneously, to ensure the stability of the up-and-down movement of the suction module, the first adapter block 6301 is smoothly mounted on the slide rail via a slider.
[0049] To detect and control the up-and-down and rotational movements of the nozzle module, further as shown in Figures 1 and 2, a first photoelectric sensor 671671 and a corresponding first sensing element 672672 are disposed above the first adapter block 6301 for detecting and controlling the up-and-down movements of the nozzle module, while a second photoelectric sensor 681681 and a corresponding second sensing element 682682 are disposed on the bushing 633 for detecting and controlling the rotational movements of the nozzle module. Both the first photoelectric sensor 671 and the second photoelectric sensor 681 are U-shaped photoelectric sensors.
[0050] like Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the slide rail is vertically mounted on the front plate of the Z-axis plate. The first adapter block 6301 is slidably mounted on the slide rail via a slider. The suction nozzle module is rotatably connected to the first adapter block 6301 via a first bearing 6303. The first main pulley 621 and the first driven pulley 623 are respectively arranged above and below the slide rail. The vertical power unit 62 is arranged on the rear plate of the Z-axis plate located at the position of the first main pulley 621, and its power shaft passes through the Z-axis plate and connects to the first main pulley 621. The rotary power unit 64 is mounted in front of the nozzle module via a rotary motor adapter block 6402 and a rotary motor mounting plate 6401. The rotary motor adapter block 6402 has through holes at the front and rear for easy mounting of the second driven pulley 643. Second bearings are respectively mounted in the rotary motor adapter block 6402 at the upper and lower ends of the through holes. The second driven pulley is located in the through holes. A bushing 633 passes through the second bearing and is mounted in the rotary motor adapter block 6402, rotatably connected to the second bearing. The suction rod 632 passes through the rotary motor adapter block 6402 for mounting the nozzle head. A first photoelectric sensor 671 is mounted directly above the slide rail, and a first sensing element 672 is mounted above the first adapter block 6301. A second photoelectric sensor 681 is mounted on the upper surface of the rotary motor adapter block 6402, and the second sensing element 682 is mounted on the bushing 633. The vacuum generator and calibration module are arranged and installed on the side of the Z-axis plate, as shown in the figure. In one embodiment, the vacuum generator and calibration module are arranged and installed on the right side of the Z-axis plate, with the vacuum generator arranged above the calibration module.
[0051] like Figure 7As shown, second bearings are provided above and below the second driven pulley 643. The upper second bearing is installed in the rotary motor adapter block 6402 above the through hole, and the lower second bearing is installed in the rotary motor adapter block 6402 below the through hole. The upper and lower second bearings are arranged vertically to ensure that the bushing 633 and the suction rod 632 are arranged vertically in the rotary motor adapter block 6402. Furthermore, a spring is provided between the second driven pulley and the upper second bearing. The spring is sleeved on the bushing 633 between the second driven pulley and the upper second bearing, thereby providing a downward elastic force for the second driven pulley to prevent it from shifting position after long-term use, which would affect the positional shift of the bushing 633 and the suction rod 632, and thus affect the chip picking and placing operation.
[0052] like Figure 8 As shown, in one embodiment, four sets of suction nozzle modules are arranged regularly and vertically on the front panel of the Z-axis plate. Four sets of vertical power devices 62 and four sets of rotary power devices 64 are also provided for this purpose. The four sets of vertical power devices 62 are regularly arranged and installed above the suction nozzle modules, while the four sets of rotary power devices 64 are horizontally mounted and fixed on the rotary motor mounting plate 6401. The rotary motor mounting plate 6401 is mounted in front of the suction nozzle modules via a rotary motor adapter block 6402. The four suction nozzle modules are driven vertically and rotaryly by independent vertical power devices 62 and rotary power devices 64, respectively, resulting in wider applicability. On one hand, the independent vertical power devices 62 can drive the independent suction nozzle modules to move vertically, allowing different IC chips to be picked up from different trays for programming and testing. On the other hand, the independent rotary power devices 64 can drive the independent suction nozzle modules to rotate, allowing asynchronous rotation adjustment of the orientation of each picked-up IC chip.
[0053] As shown in the figure, the calibration module includes an upper camera assembly, a laser rangefinder, and an upper light source. The upper camera assembly includes a camera and a lens. The calibration module captures images through the upper camera assembly and performs precise calculations through the software system to determine the relative distance the suction nozzle's material handling system needs to move, enabling accurate material handling. The upper light source, combined with the upper camera assembly, allows for clearer image capture. The laser rangefinder, along with the software system, can precisely calculate the height required for the suction rod 632 to pick up the IC chip in the Z-axis direction. The calibration module is fixed to the side of the Z-axis plate via a camera adapter plate.
[0054] like Figure 9-11The diagram shows the structure of the automatic lower camera alignment device 2. The automatic lower camera alignment device 2 includes a lower camera module 25 and a camera bushing 251. The camera bushing 251 is fitted onto the lower end of the lower camera module 25. A large pulley 233 is fitted over the camera bushing 251. The large pulley 233 is connected to a small pulley 231 via a belt 232. The small pulley 231 is fitted onto an adjusting shaft 23. By rotating the adjusting shaft 23, the small pulley 231 is rotated, which in turn drives the large pulley 233 via the belt 232, and consequently, the lower camera module 25 is rotated via the camera bushing 251, thereby adjusting the image-capturing direction of the lower camera module 25.
[0055] This invention utilizes a small pulley to drive a large pulley, which in turn drives the camera assembly via a camera bushing. This allows for rapid adjustment of the camera assembly's image-taking direction, resulting in improved practicality and eliminating the need for frequent changes to the camera assembly's position or installation angle. Furthermore, it offers greater versatility and wider applicability. When changing the nozzle device or IC chip type, the image-taking angle of the lower camera can be quickly adjusted, and the lens of the lower camera assembly can be quickly replaced, enabling rapid production transitions. Moreover, the small gear driving the large gear provides higher precision in adjusting the lower camera position.
[0056] Furthermore, such as Figure 9 As shown, a ring light source 27 and a ring light-diffusing plate 28 for supplemental lighting are sequentially arranged above the lower camera module 25. The ring light source 27 adopts an RGBW ring light source, which can provide various color light sources as needed, thus improving its applicability. Preferably, the ring light source 27 adopts a low-angle RGBW ring light source, including ring LEDs and a low-angle ring lens. The ring light-diffusing plate 28 is arranged directly above the ring light source 27. The ring light-diffusing plate 28 can homogenize the ring light source, thereby avoiding reflections and other issues caused by uneven light sources in the image captured by the camera, which could lead to calculation errors or calculation failures.
[0057] like Figure 10 and Figure 11As shown, the camera bushing 251 is flexibly fixed to the lower camera mounting bracket 22 via the camera mounting plate 254 and the locking screw assembly 24. Loosening the locking screw assembly 24 loosens the camera bushing 251 from the lower camera mounting bracket 22, thereby driving the camera bushing 251 and the lower camera module 25 to rotate via the rotating adjustment shaft 23. Tightening the locking screw assembly 24 tightens the camera mounting plate 254 from the lower camera mounting bracket 22, thus preventing the camera bushing 251 from loosening. The ring light source 27 is fixed above the lower camera module 25 via the light source mounting bracket 26. The lower camera mounting bracket 22 is installed below the lower camera mounting plate 21, and the light source mounting bracket 26 is installed above the lower camera mounting plate 21. The lower camera mounting plate 21 has a through hole in the middle for camera image acquisition, and the lower camera mounting plate 21 is mounted on a burning or testing machine.
[0058] Preferably, the lower camera mounting bracket 22 is a U-shaped mounting bracket. The left and right side plates of the U-shaped mounting bracket are fixedly mounted to the lower surface of the lower camera mounting plate 21. The camera bushing 251 passes through the bottom plate of the U-shaped bracket and is fixedly connected to the camera mounting plate 254. The lower part of the camera mounting plate 254 is flexibly set in the U-shaped mounting bracket through a locking screw assembly 24. Loosening the locking screw assembly 24 releases the camera mounting plate 254 from the lower camera mounting bracket 22, and tightening the locking screw assembly 24 locks the camera mounting plate 254 from the lower camera mounting bracket 22. The adjustment shaft 23 passes through the lower camera mounting plate 21 and the lower camera mounting bracket 22, and the adjustment shaft 23 is rotatably connected to the lower camera mounting plate 21 and the lower camera mounting bracket 22. To ensure its stability and smooth adjustment, a bearing is provided at the connection between the adjustment shaft 23 and the lower camera mounting plate 21, or between the adjustment shaft 23 and the lower camera mounting bracket 22.
[0059] like Figure 10 As shown, the top of the adjustment shaft 23 is an adjustment post, and the top of the adjustment post has an adjustment groove for easy tool adjustment, including but not limited to an internal hexagonal groove. The adjustment shaft 23 passes through and is fixed to the small pulley 231, so that the image-capturing position of the lower camera module 25 can be adjusted by rotating the adjustment shaft 23.
[0060] Furthermore, a pressure roller assembly 29 is provided on the outer side of the belt 232, which allows control over the tension of the belt 232. The pressure roller assembly 29 includes a pressure roller, a pressure roller positioning block, and a stud. The pressure roller is rotatably positioned at the front end of the pressure roller positioning block. The pressure roller positioning block has adjustment slots at the front and rear. The stud passes through the adjustment slots and is mounted on the lower camera mounting bracket 22. Tightening the stud fixes the pressure roller positioning block and the pressure roller; loosening the stud adjusts the position and direction of the pressure roller positioning block, thereby pressing the belt 232 with the pressure roller, and then tightening the stud again fixes its position.
[0061] like Figure 11As shown, the lower camera module 25 is flexibly installed in the lower camera mounting bracket 22 via the camera bushing 251, camera mounting plate 254, and locking screw assembly 24. The camera bushing 251 is a cylindrical bushing with an annular positioning block 2511 around its periphery. The annular positioning block divides the camera bushing into upper and lower sections. A large pulley 233 is fixedly installed on the upper section, and the lower section penetrates the lower surface of the lower camera mounting bracket 22 and is connected and fixedly installed with the camera mounting plate 254. A through hole for installing the camera assembly is opened in the middle of the upper and lower ends. The lower camera module 25 is installed in the through hole of the camera bushing 251 by screws and other components. The annular limiting block of the camera bushing 251 and the camera mounting plate 254 flexibly position the camera bushing in the lower camera mounting bracket 22 with a small range. The annular limiting block is set on the upper surface of the bottom plate of the lower camera mounting bracket 22, while the camera mounting plate 254 is set on the lower surface of the bottom plate of the camera mounting bracket. The left and right sides of the camera mounting plate 254 are locked or opened with the camera mounting bracket by the locking screw assembly 24.
[0062] like Figure 11 As shown, the lower camera module 25 includes a camera 252 and a lens 253 at its front end.
[0063] The locking screw assembly 24 includes a screw, a fixing head, and a handle. The screw is located at the upper end of the fixing head, and the fixing head is located at the front end of the handle. The tightness between the screw and the lower camera mounting bracket 22 can be adjusted by rotating the handle.
[0064] After the programming or testing system is started, the programming / testing machine begins initialization, performing an automatic calibration process for the nozzle device. The upper camera on the nozzle device is moved directly above the lower camera (i.e., the camera assembly of this invention) (i.e., the images of the upper and lower cameras overlap), and this coordinate position is recorded. Then, the nozzle device continues to move, aligning the center of the first nozzle head with the center of the lower camera, and the offset value of the first nozzle head (i.e., the nozzle offset value) is recorded. This process is repeated, recording the nozzle offset values of the remaining nozzle heads, thus calculating and saving the nozzle offset values for each nozzle, completing the initial position setting of the nozzle device. Then, the nozzle device drives each nozzle head to pick up the IC chip to the center of the lower camera. Through the lower camera's software system, the offset value (i.e., the chip compensation value) of the IC chip can be automatically calculated based on its outline, thereby automatically and accurately calculating the chip's compensation and placement position.
[0065] This invention uses a camera bushing to flexibly mount the camera in a camera mounting bracket. By adjusting the shaft, pinion, belt, and gear, the camera bushing and camera assembly rotate synchronously, allowing for quick, convenient, and precise adjustment of the camera assembly's image-taking angle. It is not only highly versatile and widely applicable, but also convenient for later maintenance or replacement.
[0066] The disc loading and unloading device 4 of this invention application includes a disc loading and unloading machine, a track module, a feeding module, an unloading module, a printing module, and a platform module. The track module is fixed at the upper end of the disc loading and unloading machine and extends out of the front end of the disc loading and unloading machine. Its extension is used to extend into the burning machine 10 to perform the material loading and unloading process. The feeding module, unloading module, printing module, and platform module are regularly arranged and installed on the track module.
[0067] The feeding module, discharging module, and printing module are arranged sequentially above the track module, while the platform module is arranged inside the track module. The platform in the platform module slides back and forth within the track module to transport the TRAY disk.
[0068] The track module includes a track platform and a platform guide rail, with the platform guide rail horizontally arranged front and back within the track platform. The platform module includes a platform and a platform power unit. The platform is used to mount the TRAY disc, and the platform power unit drives the platform to move back and forth on the platform guide rail within the track platform. The platform is slidably connected to the platform guide rail via a slider. The platform power unit is driven by a motor, which drives the platform to move back and forth on the platform guide rail via a main pulley, a belt, and a driven pulley.
[0069] like Figure 12 and 13 The diagram shown is a structural diagram of the tape receiving device 9. The tape receiving device 9 includes a carrier tape feeding module 91, a feeding swing arm control module 92, a carrier tape pinwheel assembly 93, a carrier tape track 94, a track width adjustment module 941, a sealing film position adjustment module 95, a pressure roller module 96, a power pinwheel module 97, a carrier tape cutting module 98, a sealing film module 99, a receiving tray module 910, and a frame 911.
[0070] like Figure 12 As shown, the carrier tape feeding module 91, the feeding swing arm control module 92, the carrier tape pinwheel assembly 93, the carrier tape track 94, the track width adjustment module 941, the sealing film position adjustment module 95, the pressure roller module 96, the power pinwheel module 97, the carrier tape cutting module 98, the sealing film module 99, and the receiving tray module 910 are regularly arranged and installed on the machine frame 911.
[0071] The carrier tape feeding module 91 includes a feeding tray for mounting multi-layer carrier tape, and is positioned slightly below the front panel of the machine frame. The feeding swing arm control module 92 includes a swing arm power unit, a roller, and several photoelectric sensors. The swing arm power unit is connected to the roller via a baffle and drives the roller to swing. The baffle swings between the photoelectric sensors and cooperates with them to achieve signal detection. The feeding swing arm control module 92 is positioned in front of the carrier tape feeding module 91. The carrier tape needle wheel assembly 93, the sealing film position adjustment module 95, the pressure roller module 96, the power needle wheel module 97, and the carrier tape cutting module 98 are arranged sequentially and regularly at the front and rear positions of the carrier tape track 94. The carrier tape track 94 is a U-shaped track. One side of the U-shaped track is a fixed side (position not adjustable), and the other side of the U-shaped track is provided with a movable side (position adjustable). The movable side is adjusted by the track width adjustment module 941 to adjust the distance between itself and the fixed side, thereby adjusting the track width. The carrier track 94 is installed at the upper part of the front panel of the frame, the sealing module 99 is installed at the upper left corner of the frame 911, and the receiving tray module 910 is installed on the frame behind the carrier track 94.
[0072] The carrier belt pinwheel assembly 93 includes a pinwheel and a drive shaft. The pinwheel is inserted into the bearing and rotates through the drive shaft. The carrier belt pinwheel assembly 93 is arranged and installed at the front end of the carrier belt track 94. Through the rotation of the pinwheel 301, several gear needles on the pinwheel move the needle holes on the edge of the carrier belt, thereby driving the carrier belt to be conveyed without deviation within the channel of the carrier belt track 94.
[0073] A multi-layer carrier tape is mounted on the carrier tape feeding module 91. The carrier tape is pulled out and passes through the carrier tape channel of the carrier tape track 94 via rollers on the feeding swing arm control module 92 and several carrier tape rollers 9101. The carrier tape passes sequentially through the needle wheels 301 of the carrier tape needle wheels to the power needle wheel module 97. The power device of the power needle wheel module 97 drives its power needle wheel 972 to rotate, thereby actuating the needle holes on the side of the carrier tape, driving the carrier tape to be conveyed from front to back within the carrier tape track 94. The gear needles on the carrier tape needle wheel assembly 93 also pass through the needle holes on one side of the carrier tape, effectively limiting the conveying position of the carrier tape and preventing it from shifting in the track, causing loading failure. A sealing film roll is mounted on the sealing module 99. The sealing film is pulled out and passes through several sealing film rollers, then through the sealing film position adjustment module 95. After adjustment by the sealing film position adjustment module, it adheres to the carrier tape below the sealing film position adjustment module 95. After the carrier tape is laminated and sealed, it is pressed and packaged by the pressure roller module 96, and then loaded into the receiving tray module 910 for receiving. The carrier tape cutting module 98 includes a cylinder / electric cylinder and a cutter. The cylinder drives the cutter to cut the carrier tape.
[0074] like Figure 1 and Figure 12As shown, a marking station 942 is also provided on the carrier track 94 between the carrier needle wheel assembly 93 and the sealing film position adjustment module 95, so as to facilitate the installation of the marking mechanism (i.e., the visual laser marking device 8) to perform laser marking on the chip. Therefore, the right side (front end) of the carrier track 94 extends out of the right side of the frame, so as to be assembled into the programming / testing frame together with the marking mechanism.
[0075] The carrier track 94 is a U-shaped track. The right side of the U-shaped track is the fixed track edge 401, which is fixedly connected to the front panel of the machine frame, horizontally fixing the track to the front panel of the machine frame. The left side of the U-shaped track is provided with a moving track edge 402, which can be driven by a track power device to move within the U-shaped track, thereby adjusting the positional distance between the moving track edge 402 and the fixed track edge 401; or it can be driven by a lead screw and a rolling bearing.
[0076] In one embodiment, a lead screw and a rolling bearing are used to drive the moving edge of the track to move left and right. Further, the lead screw extends through the left side of the U-shaped track and is connected to an adjustment knob. The rolling bearing is connected to the moving edge of the track via an adapter plate. By rotating the adjustment knob, the lead screw rotates, and the lead screw drives the rolling bearing to transmit power on the lead screw. The rolling bearing converts the rotational motion of the lead screw into linear motion, thereby driving the moving edge of the track to move left and right via the adapter plate, adjusting the track distance. To improve the stability of the moving edge's movement, the moving edge of the track and the base plate of the U-shaped track are slidably connected by a slider and a slide rail.
[0077] Furthermore, the track width adjustment module is also equipped with a locking screw assembly for locking and releasing the moving edge of the track.
[0078] like Figure 13 As shown, the sealing film position adjustment module 95 includes a sealing film adjustment roller 951, which is mounted on a bracket. A first limiting ring 952 and a second limiting ring 953 are respectively provided on its left and right sides. By adjusting the positions of the first and second limiting rings and the distance between them, the position and width of the sealing film can be quickly adjusted, thereby bonding the sealing film to the carrier tape below. Furthermore, a transverse groove 9511 is formed on the sealing film adjustment roller 951. The first limiting ring 952 and the second limiting ring 953 are locked in place by a locking bolt 954, which is locked within the groove 9511.
[0079] The pressure roller module 96 includes a first pressure roller assembly 961, a second pressure roller assembly 962, and a third pressure roller assembly 963. The first pressure roller assembly is located in front of the second and third pressure roller assemblies. The second and third pressure roller assemblies are arranged in parallel left and right sides for pressing the carrier belt and sealing film on the left and right sides. The first pressure roller assembly is used to perform preliminary pressing on the carrier belt and sealing film.
[0080] Furthermore, in one embodiment, the first pressure roller assembly, the second pressure roller assembly, and the third pressure roller assembly each include a pressure roller forming the first pressure roller, the second pressure roller, and the third pressure roller. The first pressure roller, the second pressure roller, and the third pressure roller are also elastically mounted on a support frame or support rod via torsion springs and pressure roller arms to form the first pressure roller assembly, the second pressure roller assembly, and the third pressure roller assembly. Therefore, under the elastic force of the torsion springs, the first pressure roller, the second pressure roller, and the third pressure roller are initially in contact with the track. By pushing the first pressure roller, the second pressure roller, and the third pressure roller upwards to pass the carrier belt through the track, the first pressure roller, the second pressure roller, and the third pressure roller are driven by the elastic force of the torsion springs to reset the pressure roller arm, thereby driving the pressure roller at the front end of the pressure roller arm to press down and reset, automatically pressing the carrier belt tightly against the track. Furthermore, because the pressure of the first pressure roller, the second pressure roller, and the third pressure roller is constant due to the drive of the torsion springs, excessive pressure will affect the drive of the power pinwheel module to drive the carrier belt transmission. Therefore, as... Figure 13 As shown, each pressure roller assembly is also provided with a pressure roller lever 9611 on its side. The pressure roller lever 9611 hooks the pressure roller arm of each pressure roller assembly through a hook structure. By adjusting the angle of the pressure roller lever, the height of each pressure roller assembly, that is, the height distance between the pressure roller and the track, can be quickly adjusted, thereby easily adjusting its pressure.
[0081] In another embodiment, the pressure roller arms of the first pressure roller assembly, the second pressure roller assembly, and the third pressure roller assembly are directly bolted to the corresponding brackets. By releasing the bolts, the distance between the pressure and the track is slowly adjusted. After adjusting to a suitable distance, the bolts are tightened.
[0082] The power needle wheel module 97 includes a needle wheel motor 971 and a power needle wheel 972. The needle wheel motor 971 drives the power needle wheel 972 to rotate through a main pulley, a belt, and a driven pulley. The power needle wheel 972 is mounted in a needle wheel seat 974 through a needle wheel power shaft 973. The needle wheel power shaft 973 is rotatably connected to the needle wheel seat 974 through a bearing. The needle wheel seat 974 is fixed on the track base plate 9401 of the carrier belt guide rail.
[0083] like Figure 4As shown, in this invention, the power pinwheel of the power pinwheel module 97 is arranged below the pressure roller of the second pressure roller assembly 962. Therefore, in this embodiment, the pressure roller shaft of the second pressure roller assembly 962 has an annular slot to facilitate the rotation of the power pinwheel, dividing the second pressure roller into left and right pressure rollers. This facilitates the second pressure roller's application of pressure to the right side of the carrier belt and sealing film without affecting the power pinwheel's movement of the pinholes on the right side of the carrier belt, driving the carrier belt to move within the track channel. Furthermore, the second pressure roller above the power pinwheel provides a certain pressure / friction force between the power pinwheel and the carrier belt, thereby improving the stability of the power pinwheel driving the carrier belt. Furthermore, a driven pressure roller is provided below the pressure roller of the third pressure roller assembly 963. The driven pressure roller is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the moving side of the track via a bearing. The third pressure roller assembly 963 and the driven pressure roller below it press and adhere the left side of the carrier belt and the sealing film. The pressure roller of the third pressure roller assembly and the driven pressure roller below it clamp and press the right side of the carrier belt and the sealing film. This can both press and adhere them and improve the smoothness of the carrier belt in the track.
[0084] like Figure 13 As shown, the carrier tape cutting module 98 includes a cutting power unit 981 and a cutter. The power unit drives the cutter to move up or down, thereby cutting the pressed and bonded carrier tape. The power unit can be a pneumatic cylinder or an electric cylinder.
[0085] like Figure 12 As shown, a multi-layer carrier tape is loaded into the carrier tape feeding module 91. One end of the carrier tape is pulled out and passes sequentially around the rollers of the feeding swing arm control module 92 and the carrier tape roller 9101 to the carrier tape track 94. Inside the cabinet 41, the carrier tape passes sequentially through the needles of the carrier tape needle wheel module 3, the sealing film position adjustment module 95, the pressure roller module 96, the needles of the power needle wheel module 97, and the carrier tape cutting module 98 before reaching the take-up tray module 910. The needles of the carrier tape needle wheel assembly 93 and the power needle wheel module 97 both pass through the needle holes on the right side of the carrier tape. The sealing film roll is loaded onto the sealing module 99. One end of the sealing film is pulled out and passes sequentially around the sealing film roller 9901 to the sealing film position adjustment module 95 to be bonded to the carrier tape below it. After being pressed and bonded by the pressure roller module 96, it passes through the take-up roller 91001 and is wound onto the take-up tray module 910. The width of the carrier tape track 94 can be adjusted by software or manually using the track width adjustment module 941, enabling the collection of carrier tapes of different widths and facilitating rapid production changeover for the collection of different IC chips in tape form. The position and distance of the annular limiting ring on the sealing film position adjustment module 95 can be adjusted to quickly change the sealing film position to accommodate carrier tapes of different widths, allowing for the sealing and packaging of carrier tapes of varying widths.
[0086] This invention employs a vertical frame 911, on which the carrier tape feeding module 91, feeding swing arm control module 92, carrier tape pinwheel assembly 93, carrier tape track 94, sealing film position adjustment module 95, pressure roller module 96, power pinwheel module 97, carrier tape cutting module 98, sealing film module 99, and take-up tray module 910 are rationally arranged and installed on its front side panel, thereby effectively reducing the volume of the tape-loading take-up device. Furthermore, the carrier tape track 94 extends forward to the right side of the vertical frame, facilitating its integration into an automated programming rack for automated tape-loading take-up. The overall modular design results in a simple structure, stable take-up process, and strong versatility; rapid production transitions can be achieved simply by adjusting the track width and sealing film position. The power pinwheel module 97 at the rear of the track drives the carrier tape to move along the track, while the carrier tape pinwheel assembly 93 at the front of the track effectively raises the position of the carrier tape within the track, preventing tape misalignment and thus avoiding loading failure. Moreover, the pressure roller module 96 is reasonably designed above the power pinwheel module 97, which can press and bond the carrier belt and the sealing film on the one hand, and improve the stability of the power pinwheel module driving the carrier belt transmission on the other hand.
