DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0023] In order to enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in the field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0024] Embodiment 1 This embodiment relates to a universal material tray of a chip mounter. The chip mounter is also called a mounting machine or a surface mount system (Surface Mount System). The chip mounter is the core equipment in the SMT (surface mount technology) production line and is one of the indispensable key equipment in the modern manufacturing field. The structure of the chip mounter includes: a frame, a PCB transmission mechanism, a servo positioning system, an optical recognition system, a chip head, a feeder, a sensor system, an electrical control system and a software control system. Among them, the feeder mainly includes a strip feeder and a disc feeder (tray feeder). This solution mainly involves a disc feeder. The disc feeder mainly includes a wafer tray 21 and a tray tray 22. The structure of the wafer tray 21 includes a supporting iron frame and a wafer chip fixed on the material film. The structure of the tray tray 22 includes a tray body and a material grid for accommodating various components arranged on the tray body. It is usually used for mounting QFP, BGA, etc.

[0025] When mounting various components, the placement machine usually fixes the same type of components in the same tray. In one placement procedure, the placement machine absorbs the same material from a tray and mounts it on multiple PCB boards in sequence. When mounting the next material, the tray is replaced and the same material is absorbed from the tray again and mounted on multiple PCB boards in sequence until all components are mounted.

[0026] Since only one material tray can be placed at the mounting position of the material tray at a time, the material tray is usually replaced manually when the material is replaced, and the type of ejector needle head of the film expansion mechanism corresponding to the material tray is adjusted (if it is Tray tray 22, no film expansion is required). Therefore, fully automated production has not been achieved when the material tray is replaced. These manually involved processes will inevitably lead to increased costs and insufficient optimization of production efficiency.

[0027] In order to solve the above technical problems, the present embodiment provides a universal material tray, including a tray body 10 and a fixing mechanism; The carrier body 10 is provided with a fixing groove 11 which can simultaneously adapt to the tray plate 22 or the wafer plate 21, and the fixing mechanism is used to fix the tray plate 22 or the wafer plate 21 on the fixing groove 11; like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the outer shape of the carrier body 10 can be adapted to the material supply box 30 and the mounting pressure ring assembly of the same mounting equipment at the same time so that the carrier body 10 can be accommodated on the material supply box 30 or the mounting pressure ring assembly.

[0028] The universal material tray provided in this solution is compatible with the feed box 30 and the mounting pressure ring assembly on the mounting station, that is, the universal material tray can be stored in the feed box 30, and can also be moved to the mounting pressure ring assembly on the mounting station to complete subsequent mounting. The universal material tray is compatible with various trays 22 or wafer trays 21, especially with wafers of different sizes, because the wafer tray 21 can fix 6-inch, 8-inch, 12-inch or other sizes of wafers, such as Figure 3 As shown, this universal tray solves the compatibility problem caused by different tray types corresponding to different materials to be mounted, and lays the hardware foundation for the automatic grasping, automatic resetting, and automatic replacement of non-human-involved, fully automated mounting materials. This universal tray has the advantage of being universally compatible with all kinds of existing common material trays.

[0029] Embodiment 2 This embodiment specifically provides a preferred universal material tray, including a tray body 10 and a fixing mechanism; The carrier body 10 is provided with a fixing groove 11 which can simultaneously adapt to the Tray plate 22 or the wafer plate 21, and the fixing mechanism is used to fix the Tray plate 22 or the wafer plate 21 on the fixing groove 11; the outer shape of the carrier body 10 can simultaneously adapt to the feed box 30 and the mounting pressure ring assembly of the same mounting equipment so that the carrier body 10 can be accommodated on the feed box 30 or the mounting pressure ring assembly.

[0030] The carrier body 10 is larger in size than the traditional tray 22 or wafer tray 21, or maintains the original volume and reduces the size of the tray 22 or wafer tray 21. Since the size of the traditional tray 22 or wafer tray 21 includes the surrounding supporting space, it is sufficient to support the size reduction.

[0031] By providing the carrier body 10 , the tray 22 and the wafer tray 21 can be uniformly loaded through a common device, and can be adapted to new or existing feed boxes 30 and patch equipment at the same time.

[0032] Specifically, the shape of the carrier body 10 is adapted to the multi-layer slots of the feed box 30 so that the carrier body 10 can be inserted into or pulled out of the feed box 30; the shape of the carrier body 10 is adapted to the mounting groove 421 of the lower pressure ring 42 of the mounting pressure ring assembly so that the carrier body 10 can fall into or be taken out of the lower pressure ring 42.

[0033] Specifically, the fixing mechanism includes at least two sets of rotating clamping components, and the rotating clamping components include a driving motor and a rotating pressing plate, and the driving motor controls the rotating pressing plate to press the edge of the tray 22 or the wafer 21 into the fixing groove 11 of the carrier body 10. The existing fixing mechanism usually adopts a clamping pressing plate, and the edge of the wafer 21 is clamped and fixed by a plurality of pressing plate spring structures.

[0034] The core technical problem solved by the universal material tray provided in this solution is to realize the technical difficulty of automatically replacing the disc feeder of the placement machine by transforming the traditional material tray and the material tray identification, movement and fixing methods. Therefore, the new structure of the universal material tray is based on the solution idea of ​​solving the non-manual whole process. Therefore, the fixing mechanism of the carrier body 10 adopts at least 2 groups of rotating clamping components, and the fixing or release of the carrier body 10 is realized by the control of the driving motor.

[0035] Furthermore, since the rotary clamping assembly can control the rotation angle of the rotary pressing plate by driving the motor, the rotary clamping assembly can adjust the clamping degree of the universal material tray, that is, along the rotation direction, the larger the rotation angle, the higher the clamping degree. This rotary clamping method can also be adapted to wafer trays 21 or Tray trays 22 of different thicknesses, that is, the thicker the tray body, the more universal and automatic fixing or releasing of tray bodies of different thicknesses can be achieved by adjusting the rotation angle.

[0036] Specifically, the mounting pressure ring includes a lower pressure ring 42 and at least two upper pressure rings 41. The upper pressure ring 41 is controlled to be lifted or lowered by a pressure ring control component. In the lifted state, the carrier body 10 can be taken out of the lower pressure ring 42. In the lowered state, the pressure ring control component fixes the carrier body 10 in the mounting groove 421 of the lower pressure ring 42.

[0037] Through the above scheme, universal fixing and releasing of various material trays of different thicknesses and types can be achieved, while being compatible with the material feeding box 30 and the mounting pressure ring assembly.

[0038] Embodiment 3 like Figure 3 As shown, in order to adapt to the optical recognition system of the existing placement machine, an identifier 50 is set on the carrier body 10. Since the existing optical recognition system mainly recognizes from top to bottom, the top of the tray body stacked in the supply tray will be blocked and cannot be directly recognized.

[0039] The present embodiment provides an identifier 50 of a tray body 10, and the identifier 50 is used to identify the type and material information of a tray fixed in a fixing slot 11. The identifier 50 has at least an upper identification surface 51 and a side identification surface 54. The upper identification surface 51 of the identifier 50 can be identified by an optical identification system of a mounting device and the current tray type stored in the identifier 50 can be obtained. The side identification surface 54 of the identifier 50 can be identified by an optical identification system of a mounting device and the material information of the current tray stored in the identifier 50 can be obtained. Since there are relatively few types of existing material trays, with no more than 10 commonly used types, a side identification surface 54 can be set on the side of the material tray identifier 50, and a horizontal identification subsystem can be added to the existing optical identification system. The horizontal identification subsystem is only used for identification tasks with identification types not exceeding 10. Therefore, the setting cost of the identification subsystem is very low, and the accuracy can be 100%. The type of material tray is identified by the horizontal identification subsystem, so that the mobile control parameter program and the ejector head 60 adapted to the material tray type can be called in advance to improve the overall rhythm and efficiency of material placement.

[0040] Specifically, an identifier 50 is provided on the carrier body 10, and the identifier 50 is used to identify the type and material information of the material tray fixed in the fixing slot 11. The identifier 50 has at least an upper identification surface 51 and a side identification surface 54. The upper identification surface 51 of the identifier 50 can be identified by the optical identification system of the mounting equipment and the current material tray type stored in the identifier 50 can be obtained. The side identification surface 54 of the identifier 50 can be identified by the optical identification system of the mounting equipment and the material information of the current material tray stored in the identifier 50 can be obtained.

[0041] Specifically, the identifier 50 has a plug-in structure 53 adapted to the tray body 10, and the identifier 50 can be detachably plugged into the identification slot 12 of the tray body through the plug-in structure 53. The side identification surface 54 of the identifier 50 is provided with at least two side identification components 55 that can be identified by the optical identification system of the mounting equipment, and the tray type and the plate type of the tray are identified by identifying the side identification components 55. The upper identification surface of the identifier 50 is provided with at least three upper identification components 52 that can be identified by the optical identification system of the mounting equipment, and the type information, quantity information and initial position information of the material in the tray are identified by identifying the upper identification components 52.

[0042] When changing materials, the identifier 50 can be used to first identify the type of material tray, and call the movement control parameter program adapted to the material tray type in advance to move and fix the carrier body 10, and prepare in advance the ejector head 60 adapted to the material tray on the carrier body 10, which can reduce the calling time of the ejector head 60 and improve the overall rhythm and efficiency of material placement.

[0043] Embodiment 4 This embodiment provides another identifier 50 of the tray body 10. In order to adapt to the optical recognition system of the existing placement machine, the identifier 50 is arranged on the tray body 10. Since the existing optical recognition system mainly recognizes from top to bottom, and the upper part of the tray body stacked in the feeding tray will be blocked and cannot be directly recognized, a retractable identifier 50 can be arranged on the tray body 10. The identifier 50 includes a retractable structure that can be detachably installed in the recognition slot 12 of the tray body. The upper recognition surface of the identifier 50 is provided with a recognizable optical recognition system that can be recognized by the placement equipment. The identifier 50 protrudes from the tray body when on the tray through the retractable structure to facilitate identification by the optical recognition system. However, the identifier 50 protruding from the tray body will cause interference when accommodated in the mounting pressure ring assembly and cannot be fixedly installed. Therefore, in order to solve this technical problem, the tray moving device provided in this embodiment is provided with a material picking mechanism adapted to the identifier 50 of the tray body. When taking the tray body 10 out of the feed box 30, the material picking mechanism applies force from the side of the identifier 50 to press the identifier 50 back to the tray body 10 and fix it in the mounting groove 421 of the lower pressure ring 42 of the mounting pressure ring assembly.

[0044] An identification window 411 matching with the identifier 50 is arranged on the upper pressure ring to avoid interference of the upper pressure ring on the identifier 50 or to provide an observation optical path for the identifier 50 in some special cases.

[0045] The present embodiment also provides an identifier 50 for a tray body 10, the identifier 50 also comprising a third active identification surface, an image recognition camera and a wireless transceiver being arranged on the third active identification surface, the material information on the tray body 10 being identified by the image recognition camera, and the tray type and material information being inferred from the material information and stored in a storage module of the identifier 50, the tray type in the storage module being expressed by a side identification component 55 on a side identification surface 54, and the material information in the storage module being expressed by an upper identification component 52 on an upper identification surface 51.

[0046] Embodiment 5 This embodiment provides a chip mounter, which includes any of the above-mentioned universal trays. The technical problem solved by the tray is that since only one tray can be placed at a mounting position of the tray at a time, the tray is usually replaced manually when the material is replaced, and the type of ejector pin of the film expansion mechanism corresponding to the tray is adjusted (if it is Tray 22, film expansion is not required). Therefore, fully automated production has not been achieved when the tray is replaced, and these manual processes will inevitably lead to increased costs and insufficient optimization of production efficiency.

[0047] The placement machine provided with the universal material tray can be compatible with the feed box 30 and the mounting pressure ring assembly on the mounting station, that is, the universal material tray can be stored in the feed box 30, and can also be moved to the mounting pressure ring assembly on the mounting station to complete subsequent mounting. The universal material tray can be compatible with various trays 22 or wafer trays 21 internally, and can be compatible with wafers of different sizes, because the wafer tray 21 can be fixed with 6-inch, 8-inch, 12-inch or other sizes of wafers, such as Figure 3 As shown, this universal tray solves the compatibility problem caused by different tray types corresponding to different materials to be mounted, and lays the hardware foundation for the automatic grasping, automatic resetting, and automatic replacement of non-human-involved, fully automated mounting materials. This universal tray has the advantage of being universally compatible with all kinds of existing common material trays.

[0048] Embodiment 6 The technical problem solved by this embodiment is that the existing placement machine can only place one material tray at a time on the mounting position of the material tray. Therefore, when changing materials, the material tray is usually replaced manually, and the type of ejector pin head of the film expansion mechanism corresponding to the material tray is adjusted (if it is Tray tray 22, no film expansion is required). Therefore, full automated production has not been achieved when the material tray is replaced. These processes involving manual participation will inevitably lead to increased costs and insufficient optimization of production efficiency.

[0049] In order to solve this technical problem, this embodiment provides a universal material tray control method, such as Figure 6 As shown, the following steps are included: S101: Obtain information of materials to be mounted; S102: Identify a matching tray body from the material supply box 30 according to the information of the material to be mounted and move the tray body to the mounting groove 421 of the lower pressure ring 42 of the mounting station, and control the upper pressure ring 41 to fix the tray body; S103: Identify the tray type and material information of the tray body and call up a placement program, wherein the placement program is used to control a placement head to absorb the material on the tray body and place it on a target position of a target PCB board; S104: confirm whether to call the film expansion mechanism according to the tray type and material information of the tray body obtained by identification. If the film expansion mechanism is called, call the ejector head 60 according to the tray type. The called ejector head 60 is adapted to the wafer tray 21 of the UV film or blue film corresponding to the tray type, and control the ejector head 60 to move and lift the position of the wafer tray 21 to be sucked; S105: Execute the placement program and complete material placement.

[0050] S106: If the film expansion mechanism is not called, the placement program is directly executed and the material placement is completed.

[0051] The placement machine provided with the universal material tray can be compatible with the feed box 30 and the mounting pressure ring assembly on the mounting station, that is, the universal material tray can be stored in the feed box 30, and can also be moved to the mounting pressure ring assembly on the mounting station to complete subsequent mounting.
