Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a carrier device, and more particularly to a carrier device for a detection element required when detecting multiple electronic components. Background Technology

[0002] With the booming development of electronic products, in order to maintain stable product quality, the manufacturing end needs to conduct defect detection on electronic components before assembly in order to improve the yield and reliability of the final product.

[0003] As electronic components become increasingly miniaturized and sophisticated, manual inspection is not only time-consuming and inefficient, but also risks damaging the components during the process. Therefore, automated equipment is now used for electronic component inspection. This involves mounting multiple electronic components spaced apart around a rotating turntable, which moves the components to an inspection station for testing. However, electronic components come in many different sizes, each requiring a different turntable, which increases costs for manufacturers. Summary of the Invention

[0004] Therefore, the object of the present invention is to provide a carrier device for a detection element that can replace some parts for detection elements of different specifications.

[0005] The present invention provides a support device for a detection element, comprising a fixed turntable, a plurality of sliding bases disposed on the fixed turntable, and a support plate detachably disposed on the fixed turntable. The sliding bases are arranged radially and spaced apart from each other along the fixed turntable, and each sliding base is movable radially relative to the fixed turntable between a retracted position and an extended position. The support plate includes a plate body and a plurality of receiving portions recessed inward from the periphery of the plate body. The position and number of the receiving portions correspond to the sliding bases. In the extended position, the sliding bases partially extend below the receiving portions, and in the retracted position, the sliding bases move away from below the receiving portions.

[0006] Another technical aspect of the present invention is that the fixed turntable includes an upper cover plate and a lower cover plate, and the sliding base is disposed between the upper cover plate and the lower cover plate.

[0007] Another technical aspect of the present invention is that each of the sliding bases includes a flat seat body and a protrusion disposed at one end of the seat body, the seat body extending radially along the fixed turntable and the protrusion extending axially along the fixed turntable.

[0008] Another technical aspect of the present invention is that each of the sliding bases has a main body segment and an extension segment connecting the main body segment, the protrusion is disposed on the main body segment, and when the sliding base is in the unfolded position, the extension segment of each of the sliding bases will partially extend below the receiving portion.

[0009] Another technical aspect of the present invention is that the upper cover plate has a plurality of radially extending upper sliding grooves, each upper sliding groove extending to the edge of the upper cover plate to form an opening, each of the sliding bases sliding in the corresponding upper sliding groove, and the extension of each of the sliding bases extending out through the corresponding opening.

[0010] Another technical aspect of the present invention is that the lower cover plate has a plurality of radially extending downward grooves, the positions of which correspond to the upper sliding grooves, and the protrusion of each sliding base protrudes from the lower cover plate through the corresponding downward groove.

[0011] Another technical aspect of the present invention is that each of the sliding bases further includes an elastic member abutting against the base body, the elastic member being disposed in the upper sliding groove on the side away from the opening.

[0012] Another technical aspect of the present invention is that the receiving portion of the carrier disk penetrates an upper surface and a lower surface of the disk body.

[0013] Another technical aspect of the present invention is that the accommodating portion of the carrier disk is narrower at the top and wider at the bottom.

[0014] Another technical aspect of the present invention is that the carrier plate further includes a plurality of airflow guiding parts disposed inside the accommodating part, each of the airflow guiding parts being connected to the corresponding accommodating part.

[0015] The advantage of this invention lies in the detachable design of the support plate, which allows the support device to be replaced simply by changing the support plate according to the specifications of the detection element, thus reducing the overall cost of the equipment. The movable design of the sliding base provides stable support for the detection element in the extended position and facilitates the removal of the detection element from the support plate in the retracted position.

[0043] The relevant patent features and technical content of this invention will be clearly presented in the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be noted before the detailed description that similar elements are represented by the same reference numerals.

[0044] See Figure 1 and Figure 2 A preferred embodiment of the carrier device for the detection element of the present invention includes a fixed turntable 2, a plurality of sliding bases 3 disposed on the fixed turntable 2, and a carrier plate 4 detachably disposed on the fixed turntable 2.

[0045] See Figures 2 to 4 The fixed turntable 2 includes an upper cover plate 21 and a lower cover plate 22, with a sliding base 3 disposed between the upper cover plate 21 and the lower cover plate 22. The upper cover plate 21 has a plurality of radially extending upper sliding grooves 211, each upper sliding groove 211 extending to the edge of the upper cover plate 21 to form an opening 212, and each sliding base 3 sliding within a corresponding upper sliding groove 211. The lower cover plate 22 has a plurality of radially extending lower sliding grooves 221, the positions of which correspond to the upper sliding grooves 211.

[0046] See Figure 5 Each of the sliding bases 3 includes a flat seat body 31, a protrusion 32 disposed at one end of the seat body 31, and an elastic member 33 abutting against the seat body 31. The seat body 31 of each sliding base 3 has a main body segment 311 and an extension segment 312 connecting the main body segment 311, and the protrusion 32 is disposed on the main body segment 311. See also... Figure 5 and cooperate Figure 2 The seat 31 extends radially along the upper cover plate 21, and the protrusion 32 extends axially along the upper cover plate 21. Each of the elastic elements 33 is disposed within a corresponding upper groove 211 of the upper cover plate 21 and on the side away from the opening 212; therefore, the elastic force of each elastic element 33 is used to push the corresponding seat 31. Figure 7 As shown, the protrusion 32 of each sliding base 3 protrudes from the lower cover plate 22 through the corresponding sliding groove 221.

[0047] See Figure 2 The support plate 4 includes a plate body 41, a plurality of receiving portions 42 recessed inward from the periphery of the plate body 41, and a plurality of airflow guiding portions 43 disposed inside the receiving portions 42. The receiving portions 42 penetrate an upper surface and a lower surface of the plate body 41, and the position and number of the receiving portions 42 correspond to the sliding base 3, while the airflow guiding portions 43 communicate with the corresponding receiving portions 42.

[0048] See Figure 2 and Figure 6The receiving portion 42 of the carrier plate 4 is stepped, narrower at the top and wider at the bottom. When a detection element 91 is placed in each receiving portion 42, the wider portion is used to accommodate the pins of the detection element 91. Therefore, when the detection element 91 is placed into or removed from the receiving portion 42, friction between the pins and the carrier plate 4 can be effectively avoided to prevent wear. When the detection element 91 needs to be placed into or removed from the receiving portion 42, gas can be drawn in or blown out through the corresponding airflow guide portion 43 to move the detection element 91.

[0049] like Figure 3 As shown, due to the elastic element 33 of the sliding base 3, the corresponding seat 31 will be pushed outward along the axial direction. Therefore, the sliding base 3 is usually in the unfolded position when not affected by external force. When the sliding base 3 is in the unfolded position, the extension 312 of the sliding base 3 will extend through the corresponding opening 212, and as shown... Figure 6 As shown, the extension 312 extends partially below the receiving portion 42. In this case, the extension 312 is used to carry the detection element 91 placed within the receiving portion 42.

[0050] The carrier device of the present invention is mounted on a machine (not shown) and rotated by it to perform subsequent operations such as testing or packaging of the detection element 91 placed in the receiving part 42. See also Figure 7 When one of the sliding bases 3 rotates to the predetermined position, a suction nozzle 92 will suck up the detection element 91 from above. At this time, a cam mechanism (not shown) below the sliding base 3 will push the protrusion 32 in the direction indicated by the arrow, causing the sliding base 3 to move axially inward in the corresponding upper sliding groove 211 to the retracted position and compress the elastic member 33, so that the extension 312 moves away from the lower part of the corresponding receiving portion 42, forming as shown in the figure. Figure 8 The state shown. Next, the suction nozzle 92 can press down the suction-held detection element 91 to perform detection or other procedures.

[0051] After the test is completed, the suction nozzle 92 will move the detection element 91 upward again. At this time, the corresponding sliding base 3 will disengage from the cam mechanism, and the protrusion 32 will no longer be pushed by the cam mechanism. The accumulated elastic force of the elastic element 33 will push the base 31 back to the unfolded position axially. The suction nozzle will place the detection element 91 on the extension section 312, returning to the previous position. Figure 7 In the state shown, continue the detection operation of the next detection element 91.

[0052] Through the above design, the carrier device for the detection element of the present invention has the following advantages:

[0053] First, the carrier plate 4 is designed to be detachable, so the carrier device can be replaced with the carrier plate 4 according to the specifications of the detection element 91, thus reducing the overall cost of the equipment.

[0054] Second, the sliding base 3 is designed to be movable. In the unfolded position, it can stably support the detection element 91, and in the retracted position, it facilitates the removal of the detection element 91 from the support plate 4. Therefore, the detection element 91 can enter or leave the support plate 4 more quickly, and the friction between the detection element 91 and the support plate 4 can be reduced.

[0055] In summary, the carrier device for the detection element of the present invention can reduce the overall cost of the equipment by using a replaceable carrier plate 4, and the design of the sliding base 3 improves the smoothness of the detection element 91 in the feeding and discharging process and reduces the friction between the detection element 91 and the carrier plate 4, thus achieving the purpose of the present invention.

[0056] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. Any simple equivalent changes and modifications made in accordance with the scope of the patent application and the description of the invention shall still fall within the scope of the patent of the present invention.
