[0040] Figure 1 This is a perspective view of an embodiment of the mass welding equipment of the present invention. Figure 2 This is a top view schematic diagram of an embodiment of the mass welding equipment of the present invention. Figure 2 To illustrate the internal structure of the mass welding equipment, a portion of its top structure is shown transparently. The mass welding equipment includes a loading / unloading module 100 and a welding main module 200.

[0041] The loading / unloading module 100 includes a first cabinet 110 and multiple loading bin assemblies 120 and a robotic arm assembly 130 located within the first cabinet 110. Each loading bin assembly 120 is used to store a first carrier plate, which has multiple light-emitting diodes (LEDs). In this embodiment, the LEDs are micro LEDs (Micro-LEDs).

[0042] The welding main module 200 includes a second cabinet 210 and a carrier plate buffer assembly 220, a pressing assembly 230, a substrate fixture 240, and a laser welding assembly 250 located in the second cabinet 210. The second cabinet 210 is connected to the first cabinet 110. The substrate fixture 240 can carry the substrate. The carrier plate buffer assembly 220 can temporarily store the first carrier plate picked up by the robot arm assembly 130 from the feeding bin assembly 120. The pressing assembly 230 can adsorb the first carrier plate from the carrier plate buffer assembly 220 and press the first carrier plate to the substrate. The laser welding assembly 250 is used to weld the light-emitting diodes on the first carrier plate to the substrate, so that the first carrier plate is transformed into the second carrier plate after participating in the welding process.

[0043] The first carrier plate has multiple light-emitting diodes (LEDs). When the pressing assembly 230 presses the first carrier plate and the substrate together, the first carrier plate and the substrate are aligned, and the multiple LEDs on the first carrier plate are also aligned with preset positions on the substrate. In the welding process, the laser welding assembly 250 welds the multiple LEDs to the substrate. After the welding process, when the pressing assembly 230 adsorbs the first carrier plate and pulls it away from the substrate, the LEDs originally located on the first carrier plate are separated from the first carrier plate, so that the LEDs on the first carrier plate have been peeled off and removed, that is, the first carrier plate becomes the second carrier plate.

[0044] In this embodiment, the first cabinet 110 and the second cabinet 210 are detachably connected.

[0045] According to an embodiment of the present invention, a mass welding device includes a welding main module 200 and a loading / unloading module 100. The loading / unloading module 100 includes a first cabinet 110 and multiple loading hopper assemblies 120 and a robotic arm assembly 130 located within the first cabinet 110. The welding main module 200 includes a second cabinet 210 and a carrier plate buffer assembly 220, a pressing assembly 230, a substrate fixture 240, and a laser welding assembly 250 located within the second cabinet 210. The pressing assembly 230, the substrate fixture 240, and the laser welding assembly 250 are capable of pressing the first carrier plate and the substrate together and welding light-emitting diodes. By setting up the feeding hopper assembly 120 and the robotic arm assembly 130, the first carrier plate can be continuously and automatically supplied to the welding main module 200. The carrier plate buffer assembly 220 can temporarily store the first carrier plate and cooperate with the robotic arm assembly 130, ensuring smooth connection of carrier plate transfer between the loading / unloading module 100 and the welding main module 200, improving the degree of automation of carrier plate supply, and facilitating improved production efficiency. In the mass welding equipment of this embodiment, the first cabinet 110 and the second cabinet 210 are detachably connected, allowing the loading / unloading module 100 and the welding main module 200 to be modularly assembled and disassembled, making the assembly of the mass welding equipment more flexible.

[0046] Figure 3This is a partial perspective view of the loading / unloading module 100 in one embodiment of the mass welding equipment of the present invention. In some embodiments, the loading / unloading module 100 further includes multiple unloading hopper components 140. Each unloading hopper component 140 is used to store a second carrier plate. The first cabinet 110 and the second cabinet 210 are spliced ​​along a first horizontal direction X, and the robot arm component 130 and the carrier plate buffer component 220 are arranged opposite each other along the first horizontal direction X. In this embodiment, the first horizontal direction X is any direction parallel to the ground; in one example, the first horizontal direction X is the length direction of the mass welding equipment. Multiple loading hopper components 120 and multiple unloading hopper components 140 are arranged semi-circularly around the robot arm component 130, and the multiple loading hopper components 120 and multiple unloading hopper components 140 are arranged symmetrically to each other.

[0047] In some embodiments, the first cabinet 110 and the second cabinet 210 have openings on their facing sides. The opening of the first cabinet 110 communicates with the internal cavity of the first cabinet 110, and the opening of the second cabinet 210 communicates with the internal cavity of the second cabinet 210. The size and shape of the opening on the side of the first cabinet 110 correspond to the size and shape of the opening on the side of the second cabinet 210. When the first cabinet 110 and the second cabinet 210 are joined along the first transverse direction X, the openings on the side of the first cabinet 110 and the openings on the side of the second cabinet 210 align with each other, so that the first cabinet 110 and the second cabinet 210 are combined into a single cabinet structure, and the internal cavity of the first cabinet 110 communicates with the internal cavity of the second cabinet 210.

[0048] In this embodiment, there are two feeding hopper components 120 and two discharging hopper components 140. In other embodiments, there may be three, four or other quantities of feeding hopper components 120 and discharging hopper components 140.

[0049] In the above embodiments, the loading and unloading module 100 includes multiple loading hopper components 120 and multiple unloading hopper components 140, thereby enabling automated loading and unloading of carrier plates through the robotic arm component 130, ensuring the orderly execution of welding processes in mass welding equipment.

[0050] In some embodiments, each loading hopper assembly 120 includes a first lifting frame 121 and a loading clip 122. The loading clip 122 includes a plurality of first storage slots arranged along the longitudinal direction Z, the first storage slots being used to store first carrier plates. In this embodiment, the longitudinal direction Z is perpendicular to the ground; in one example, the longitudinal direction Z is the height direction of the mass welding equipment. The loading clip 122 is disposed on the first lifting frame 121, and the first lifting frame 121 can drive the loading clip 122 to rise and fall. In the above embodiment, the loading clip 122 can store a plurality of first carrier plates, and the first lifting frame 121 can drive the loading clip 122 to rise and fall, so that the target first carrier plate can be aligned with the robotic arm assembly 130, facilitating the robotic arm assembly 130 to grasp the first carrier plate.

[0051] In some embodiments, each unloading hopper assembly 140 includes a second lifting frame 141 and an unloading clip 142. The unloading clip 142 includes a plurality of second storage slots arranged longitudinally along the Z direction. The second storage slots are used to store the second carrier plate. The unloading clip 142 is disposed on the second lifting frame 141, which is capable of lifting and lowering the unloading clip 142. The second lifting frame 141 is capable of lifting and lowering the unloading clip 142, so that the robotic arm assembly 130 can store the second carrier plate into the target second storage slot.

[0052] Figure 4 This is a perspective view of a carrier plate buffer assembly 220 in one embodiment of the mass welding equipment of the present invention. In some embodiments, the carrier plate buffer assembly 220 includes a support frame 221, a first adsorption fixture 223, and a second adsorption fixture 224. The first adsorption fixture 223 and the second adsorption fixture 224 are mounted on the support frame 221. The first adsorption fixture 223 is used to adsorb the first carrier plate, and the second adsorption fixture 224 is used to adsorb and receive the second carrier plate detached from the pressing assembly 230.

[0053] In some embodiments, the first adsorption fixture 223 and the second adsorption fixture 224 can be connected to a negative pressure generating device, thereby adsorbing the corresponding carrier plate under negative pressure.

[0054] In the above embodiments, the carrier plate buffer assembly 220 includes a first adsorption fixture 223 and a second adsorption fixture 224, that is, the carrier plate buffer assembly 220 is a dual-station carrier plate buffer assembly 220. The first adsorption fixture 223 can adsorb the first carrier plate, and the second adsorption fixture 224 can adsorb the second carrier plate, which makes the carrier plate transfer process between the loading / unloading module 100 and the welding main body module 200 more time-saving, optimizes the process cycle, and thus improves production efficiency.

[0055] In some embodiments, the carrier plate buffer assembly 220 further includes a linear drive 222 connected to the support frame 221. The linear drive 222 is capable of driving the support frame 221 to move along a second transverse direction Y, which is perpendicular to the first transverse direction X. In some embodiments, the linear drive 222 is a linear motor module. In this embodiment, the second transverse direction Y is also a direction parallel to the ground and perpendicular to the first transverse direction X. In one example, the second transverse direction Y is the width direction of the mass welding equipment.

[0056] In the above embodiment, the linear drive 222 drives the support frame 221 to move along the second transverse Y, so that the carrier plate buffer assembly 220 can more easily switch the positions of the first adsorption fixture 223 and the second adsorption fixture 224, and switch its loading and unloading modes more quickly.

[0057] In some embodiments, the carrier plate buffer assembly 220 further includes a rotary drive 225. The first adsorption fixture 223 is connected to the support frame 221 via the rotary drive 225. The rotary drive 225 is used to drive the first adsorption fixture 223 to rotate relative to the support frame 221. In some embodiments, the rotary drive 225 is a rotary motor module. By providing the rotary drive 225, the angle of the first carrier plate can be corrected before pressing, which facilitates the accurate alignment of the first carrier plate with the substrate.

[0058] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 In some embodiments, the loading / unloading module 100 further includes an edge-finding component 150. The edge-finding component 150 is located between two of the plurality of loading bin components 120. After the robotic arm component 130 picks up the first carrier plate from the loading bin component 120, it moves the first carrier plate to the edge-finding component 150. After the edge-finding component 150 corrects the edge of the first carrier plate, the robotic arm component 130 moves the first carrier plate to the carrier plate buffer component 220.

[0059] Figure 5This is a perspective view of the robotic arm assembly 130 in one embodiment of the mass welding equipment of the present invention. In some embodiments, the robotic arm assembly 130 includes a first drive arm 131a, a second drive arm 131b, a clearance frame 132, a first gripping arm 133a, and a second gripping arm 133b. The clearance frame 132 is disposed on the first drive arm 131a. In this embodiment, the clearance frame 132 has a C-shaped frame structure. A first gripping arm 133a and a second gripping arm 133b are mounted on a clearance frame 132. A first drive arm 131a can drive the first gripping arm 133a to move. The second gripping arm 133b is mounted on a second drive arm 131b and can drive the second gripping arm 133b to move. The first gripping arm 133a and the second gripping arm 133b are arranged along the longitudinal direction Z. The second drive arm 131b can pass through the clearance frame 132. The first gripping arm 133a and the second gripping arm 133b can respectively grip the first carrier plate or the second carrier plate.

[0060] In some embodiments, the first gripping arm 133a can grip both the first carrier plate and the second carrier plate; the second drive arm 131b can grip both the first carrier plate and the second carrier plate.

[0061] In some embodiments, the first gripping arm 133a is used to grip one of the first carrier plate and the second carrier plate, and the second drive arm 131b is used to grip the other of the first carrier plate and the second carrier plate.

[0062] In the above embodiment, the robotic arm assembly 130 includes a first drive arm 131a, a second drive arm 131b, a first gripping arm 133a, and a second gripping arm 133b. The first drive arm 131a can drive the first gripping arm 133a to move, and the second drive arm 131b can drive the second gripping arm 133b to move. The first gripping arm 133a and the second gripping arm 133b can respectively grip the first carrier plate or the second carrier plate, so that the robotic arm assembly 130 has higher carrier plate gripping and conveying efficiency. By setting the avoidance frame 132, the interference between the first gripping arm 133a and the second gripping arm 133b during movement can be avoided, ensuring that the two gripping arms of the robotic arm assembly 130 move and operate efficiently.

[0063] In some embodiments, both the first gripping arm 133a and the second gripping arm 133b include two symmetrically arranged finger portions 1331. The two finger portions 1331 can connect to the two circumferential sides of the first or second carrier plate to grip the first or second carrier plate. Each finger portion 1331 integrates a through-beam sensor capable of detecting whether the first or second carrier plate is being gripped between the two finger portions 1331. In some embodiments, the finger portions 1331 are adsorbed onto the first or second carrier plate via a vacuum adsorption structure.

[0064] In the above embodiment, the through-beam sensor feeds back different signals when there is a carrier plate between the two finger parts 1331 and when there is no carrier plate, so that the state of whether the first gripping arm 133a and the second gripping arm 133b gripping the carrier plate can be known in real time, which facilitates the control of the robotic arm assembly 130.

[0065] In some embodiments, the robotic arm assembly 130 further includes a hopper empty detection sensor 134. The hopper empty detection sensor 134 is connected to one of the first gripping arm 133a or the second gripping arm 133b, and can detect whether the loading hopper assembly 120 is empty. In this embodiment, the hopper empty detection sensor 134 is connected to the side of the first gripping arm 133a opposite to the finger portion 1331. By setting the hopper empty detection sensor 134, it is possible to promptly and accurately detect when the loading hopper assembly 120 is empty, ensuring the orderly loading and unloading process of the mass welding equipment.
