Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electronic component production equipment, and in particular to a nozzle mechanism, a chip suction device and a suction control method. Background Art

[0002] During the automated chip processing of a die bonder or a chip mounter, the chip needs to be moved from one station to another. The transfer of the chip is basically carried out by a suction transfer device. During the transfer, the chip on the previous station is first sucked up by the suction nozzle of the suction transfer device, and then the suction nozzle is lifted and moved horizontally to the next station, and then the suction nozzle is lowered to place the chip on the next station. During the suction, the suction nozzle is pressed against the chip, and then the suction nozzle is started to suck the chip. When placing, the suction nozzle presses the held chip against the corresponding position. , and then the nozzle returns to normal pressure or blows air, and the chip will be separated from the nozzle; because the chip is a high-precision component, it is necessary to avoid damaging the chip as much as possible during operation. For example, when the nozzle is sucking or patching, the pressure on the chip cannot be too large. When the chip is pressed, it will also provide a corresponding rebound force to the nozzle that is equivalent to the pressure. Therefore, during the suction or patching process, it is necessary to ensure that the chip is stably held and the pressure on the chip is kept appropriate. For example, if the chip is placed on the glue-coated surface of the circuit board, a larger pressure is required than when sucking. In this way, the downward pressure required for the same chip when sucking or placing the patch is different; and for different types of chips, there are corresponding downward pressures required when sucking or patching. Usually, the downward pressure during patching is greater than the downward pressure during suction. The existing chip suction and transfer devices do not have a downward pressure that can control the force of the downward pressure when sucking or placing the patch. Summary of the invention

[0039] In order to facilitate the connection of the first connecting member 32 to the rotating shaft 21, the suction nozzle mechanism further includes a coupling 80, the coupling 80 includes a shaft body 81 and a disk body 82 installed at one end of the shaft body 81, the shaft body 81 has a central channel 811 extending in the axial direction and passing through the disk body 82, an external thread is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the shaft body 81, and a coupling hole is provided on the disk body 82 for connecting the disk body 82 to one end of the rotating shaft 21. It can be understood that a connecting disk is fixedly installed at one end of the rotating shaft 21 connected to the disk body 82 for fixed connection with the disk body 82, and correspondingly, the air guide channel 211 of the rotating shaft 21 is connected to the central channel 811 of the coupling 80.

[0040] The first connecting member 32 includes a chassis 321 and a barrel portion 322 formed on the chassis 321. The bottom surface of the chassis 321 is connected to the airbag body 31 and is sealedly connected to the open end of the airbag body 31.

[0041] The second connecting member 33 includes a tray 331 and a column 332 connected to the bottom surface of the tray 331. The tray 331 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the telescopic airbag 30. The column 332 and the barrel 322 are distributed on the same axis. The bottom end section of the column 332 is formed with an external thread for threaded connection with the suction nozzle 40.

[0042] The nozzle member 40 includes a connecting pipe member 41 and a nozzle head 42. The connecting pipe member 41 includes a connecting pipe 411, a guide plate 412 fixedly sleeved on the upper end of the connecting pipe 411, and a nozzle fixture 413 fixedly installed on the lower end of the connecting pipe 411. The upper end of the connecting pipe 411 is formed with an internal thread for threading with the external thread of the column 332. A plurality of air inlet holes are formed on the outer circumference of the connecting pipe 411. The guide plate 412 is in the shape of a disk, and its diameter is equivalent to the inner diameter of the accommodating tube 73. After the nozzle member 40 is connected to the second connecting member 33, the guide plate 412 is accommodated in the accommodating tube 73 and can be lifted and lowered along the accommodating tube 73. The nozzle head 42 includes an air guide segment 421 and a suction head segment 422. The air guide segment 421 is inserted and fixed in the connecting tube 411. The suction head segment 422 passes through the suction head clamp 413 and is plugged into the air guide segment 421 and is locked by the suction head clamp 413. When the suction head segment 422 needs to be replaced, the suction head segment 422 can be replaced by loosening the suction head clamp 413.

[0043] The air guide 50 is installed on the suction nozzle 40 to connect to an external suction and discharge air source. The suction and discharge air source is used to inflate and discharge the suction nozzle 40 to achieve suction or exhaust of the suction nozzle 40. The air guide 50 includes an air guide body 51 and a connection cover 52 formed on the outer periphery of the top of the air guide body 51. The top surface of the air guide body 51 is provided with a shaft sleeve hole 511 for the air guide body 51 to be sleeved on the connecting pipe 411. The side of the air guide body 51 is provided with an air injection hole 512. The air injection hole 512 is used to connect to an external air source. An air path is formed in the air guide body 51 to connect the air injection hole 512. The air path is connected to the air inlet hole on the outer periphery of the connecting pipe 411 to achieve suction and discharge of the connecting pipe 411 by the suction and discharge air source, so as to achieve suction and discharge of the suction nozzle head 42. It can be understood that in order to improve air tightness, the opening end of the shaft sleeve hole 511 on the top surface of the air guide body 51 can form a stepped groove for placing a sealing gasket. The connecting cover 52 is used to be fixed to the bottom surface of the accommodating tube 73 by screws to cover the bottom surface of the accommodating tube 73. It can be understood that when installing the air guide 50, the air guide 50 can be first inserted into the connecting tube 411, and then the guide plate 412 is installed on the connecting tube 411, and then the connecting cover 52 is locked to the bottom surface of the accommodating tube 73.

[0044] When the nozzle mechanism is used to suck or place the chip, the air pressure strength in the telescopic airbag 30 can be adjusted by filling and releasing air into the telescopic airbag 30, so that the different pressing forces or reaction forces of the nozzle on the chip when sucking or placing can be adjusted. For example, when sucking the chip, a relatively small downward pressure can be applied to the chip surface, and the gas enters the central channel 811 of the coupling 80 from the air guide channel 211 of the rotating shaft 21, and then enters the airbag body 31 of the telescopic airbag 30; when placing the chip, a relatively large downward pressure can be applied when sucking, and it is necessary to inflate the telescopic airbag 30 to increase the air pressure strength in the telescopic airbag 30. Specifically, when the nozzle head 42 of the nozzle piece 40 is pressed against the chip, the chip exerts a reaction force on the nozzle piece 40, and the reaction force of the compressed nozzle piece 40 will be transmitted to the connecting pipe 41, the second connecting piece 33 and the airbag body 31 in sequence, that is, the connecting pipe 41, the nozzle head 42, the second connecting piece 33 and the airbag body 31 are telescoped as a whole.

[0045] When the suction nozzle 40 needs to rotate according to the suction or placement position of the chip, the rotating shaft 21 rotates, driving the coupling 80, the telescopic airbag 30 and the suction nozzle 40 to rotate integrally, thereby adjusting the rotation angle of the suction nozzle 40.

[0046] The chip suction and transfer device using the nozzle mechanism of the present invention includes a pressure regulating air source, a suction and discharge air source, and the nozzle mechanism. The regulating air source is connected to the end of the air guide channel 211 of the rotating shaft 21 that is opposite to the first connecting member 32. By regulating the air source to inlet and discharge air to the air guide channel 211, the air pressure intensity in the telescopic airbag 30 is regulated. The suction and discharge air source is connected to the air injection hole 512 of the air guide member 50. By inlet and discharge air to the air injection hole 512 by the suction and discharge air source, the nozzle member 40 is controlled to suck or place the chip.

[0047] Specifically, see Figure 7The present invention further provides a regulating air source, which includes total air 90, proportional valve 1 91, proportional valve 2 92, pressure regulating valve 93, solenoid valve 1 94, solenoid valve 2 95, solenoid valve 3 96 and pressure gauge 97. The total air 90 is respectively connected to proportional valve 1 91, proportional valve 2 92 and pressure regulating valve 93, solenoid valve 1 94 can be selectively switched to proportional valve 1 91 or proportional valve 2 92 to be turned on, solenoid valve 2 95 can be selectively switched to solenoid valve 1 94 or pressure regulating valve 93 to be turned on, solenoid valve 2 95 is connected to solenoid valve 3 96, and solenoid valve 3 96 is connected to the air guide channel 211 of the rotating shaft 21 of the suction nozzle mechanism through the pressure gauge 97. According to the operation, proportional valve 1 91 can be regarded as a material taking proportional valve, proportional valve 2 92 can be regarded as a fitting proportional valve, solenoid valve 1 94 can be regarded as a material taking / fitting solenoid valve, solenoid valve 2 95 can be regarded as a holding force solenoid valve, and solenoid valve 3 96 can be regarded as a pressure relief valve; it can be understood that proportional valve 1 91 can be set to a medium air pressure, such as 3 kPa, proportional valve 2 92 can be set to a high air pressure, such as 5 kPa, and pressure regulating valve 93 can be set to a low air pressure, such as 1 kPa.

[0048] When aspirating the chip, the aspiration control method is as follows. Specifically, the operation steps are as follows:

[0049] A: First adjust the parameters of proportional valve 1 91, proportional valve 2 92, and pressure regulating valve 93;

[0050] B: According to the requirements of the process, the required air pressure is input to the telescopic airbag by closing / opening the solenoid valve 1 94 and the solenoid valve 2 95;

[0051] C: When the suction nozzle 40 is used to suck the chip, it can be switched to medium air pressure, so that the solenoid valve 1 94 is switched to the channel connected to the proportional valve 1 91, and the solenoid valve 2 95 is switched to the channel connected to the solenoid valve 1 94, and the suction nozzle descends to suck the chip;

[0052] D: After taking the chip, the suction nozzle 40 needs to move from the material taking position to the chip placement position, and the suction nozzle 40 is raised along the Z axis. At this time, it can be switched to a smaller air pressure to maintain the ability to suck the chip. The use of a smaller air pressure is also conducive to saving air pressure loss. The solenoid valve 95 is switched to the channel connected to the pressure regulating valve 93, and the suction nozzle 40 moves along the XY axis on the horizontal plane;

[0053] E: When the suction nozzle 40 moves to the bonding position, it is necessary to switch to a larger air pressure, lower the suction nozzle 40 along the Z axis, switch the solenoid valve 1 94 to the channel connected to the proportional valve 2 92, switch the solenoid valve 2 95 to the channel connected to the solenoid valve 1 94, and the suction nozzle is lowered to bond the chip.

[0054] In the above process, when the telescopic airbag 30 switches from high pressure to low pressure, it needs to be deflated through the solenoid valve 3 96 , and the pressure gauge 97 monitors the pressure of the telescopic airbag 30 at all times to stabilize the air pressure.

[0055] The chip pipetting device pipetting control method of the present invention adopts airbag force control and combines multiple control modes, and has the following functional advantages:

[0056] 1): Use multiple channels and multiple gas circuits with different pressures for switching, thereby increasing the gas pressure switching speed and meeting the requirements of equipment operation efficiency;

[0057] 2): Using telescopic airbags as elastic elements for force control can meet a wide range of force control requirements;

[0058] 3): The hollow motor is used so that the air path can be directly connected to the telescopic airbag 30, shortening the air path length and improving the response efficiency. Reducing components makes the structure more lightweight;

[0059] 4) The telescopic airbag 30 is equivalent to a flexible coupling, which can play the role of automatic centering, shock mitigation and vibration absorption.

[0060] The above-described embodiments only express the implementation methods of the present invention, but they cannot be understood as limiting the scope of the patent of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, several modifications and improvements can be made without departing from the concept of the present invention, which all belong to the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the patent of the present invention shall be based on the attached claims.
