The feeding module 3 is configured with a double needle delivery channel, and two pinhole positions 31 are correspondingly provided, and each delivery channel corresponds to a pinhole position 31, so as to ensure that two PIN needles are output at one time, so as to improve the feeding efficiency.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present application, two needle removal modules 4 are configured on the frame 2, which are respectively arranged at the left and right ends of the frame 2. Each needle removal module 4 includes a linear module 41, a sliding plate 42, a vertical cylinder 43, a vertical guide rail 44, a slide seat 45 and a suction head 46. The linear module 41 is installed on the frame 2, the vertical cylinder 43 and the sliding plate 42 are installed on the linear module 41, the vertical guide rail 44 is installed on the sliding plate 42, the slide seat 45 is connected to the vertical guide rail 44, and the suction head 46 is installed on the slide seat 45; the vertical cylinder 43 drives the slide seat 45 to move along the vertical guide rail 44 to link the suction head 46 to move up and down.

The suction head 46 has two sets of pin suction holes, and the hole spacing is consistent with the pinhole position on the loading module. When the suction head 46 moves to the top of the pinhole position 31 on the loading module 3, the two negative pressures in the suction head 46 are turned on to suck the two PIN needles in the pinhole position on the loading module.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present application, the transfer module 5 includes a fixed frame 51, a motor 52, a rotating disk 53, a needle suction mechanism 54 and a clamping mechanism 55.

[0054] In a specific embodiment, the needle suction mechanism 54 includes a guide column 541, a positioning guide member 542, a compression spring 543 and a pressure cover 544. The guide column 541 is installed on the fixed frame 51, the positioning guide member 542 is sleeved on the guide column 541, the pressure cover 544 is sleeved outside the positioning guide member 541, the pressure cover 544 is fixedly connected to the guide column 541, and the compression spring 543 is arranged between the pressure cover 544 and the positioning guide member 542, and is sleeved on the guide column 541.

[0056] Furthermore, the pressure cover 544 is provided with a guide groove 5441, and the positioning guide member 542 is provided with a protruding end 5422, and the protruding end 5422 is arranged to protrude from the guide groove 5441. When the positioning guide member moves up and down, the protruding end moves up and down along the guide groove.

[0057] In a specific embodiment, the clamping mechanism 55 includes a bracket 551 and a cam follower 552. The bracket 551 is connected to the fixing frame 51. The cam follower 552 is installed on the bracket 551. The cam follower 552 conflicts with the needle suction mechanism 54. One end of the bracket 551 is installed on the fixing frame 51, and the other end is connected to the cam follower 552. The cam follower 552 contacts and cooperates with the protruding end 5422.

[0058] Furthermore, the upper surface of the extended end 5422 has a transition arc surface, and the transition arc surface of the extended end rolls with the cam follower 552 , thereby linking the positioning guide member 542 to move relative to the guide column 541 .

[0059] Furthermore, the guide column 541 is connected to the vacuum joint, and a vacuum passage is provided inside the guide column 541 , one end of the vacuum passage is connected to the positioning groove, and the other end is connected to the vacuum joint.

[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, the guide column 541 includes a base 5411, a boss 5412 and a top seat 5413, the boss 5412 is installed on the base 5411, and the top seat 5413 is installed on the boss 5412, and the base 5411, the boss 5412 and the top seat 5413 are internally provided with a connected vacuum passage.

[0061] Furthermore, a through hole 5423 is provided at the upper end of the positioning guide 542, and a positioning groove is formed between the top seat 5413 and the through hole 5423 and is used to install the PIN needle; the positioning guide 542 moves downward so that the top seat 5413 protrudes from the through hole 5423, so that the needle seat of the PIN needle is exposed outside the through hole 5423.

[0062] In some embodiments of the present application, four needle suction mechanisms 54 are provided, and each needle suction mechanism 54 is respectively configured with two PIN needles. Specifically, the number of needle suction mechanisms can be set according to actual needs, and the number of PIN needle configurations can also be set according to actual needs.

[0063] In some embodiments of the present application, the detection module 8 includes a first detection module 81 and a second detection module 82. The first detection module 81 is installed on the frame 2 and is used to detect the flatness of the PIN needle; the second detection module 82 is installed on the frame 2 and is used to detect the concentricity, height and verticality of the PIN needle. It should be noted that the first detection module 81 can also be installed on the substrate 1, and can be specifically set according to actual needs.

[0064] Specifically, the first detection module 81 uses a 3D camera for detection. After the suction head 46 in the needle removal module 4 absorbs two PIN needles, the needle seat of the PIN needle is passed downward at a uniform speed through the 3D camera to detect whether there are concave and convex defects in the flatness of the bottom of the needle seat. Then, the two PIN needles will be placed on the needle suction mechanism 54 of the transfer module 5 and sucked tightly by negative pressure.

[0065] Furthermore, the second detection module 82 is composed of a fixing frame 821, a side camera 822, a lens 823, a side light source 824, a lower light source 825, a lower lens 826, a fixing part 827, and a vertical camera 828, and the focal points of the two cameras converge at one point. When the transfer module reaches the visual detection position, the focal point of the two cameras is located in the middle of the two PIN needles on the needle suction mechanism 54. At this time, the positioning guide descends, and the needle seat of the PIN needle leaks out, and then the side camera and the vertical camera detect the height, concentricity and diameter of the PIN needle; when the PIN needle to be tested is a fisheye integrated needle, the placement angle of the fisheye integrated needle can also be confirmed, and then the normal or abnormal condition of the PIN needle can be judged, so as to collect the abnormal PIN needle and transfer the normal PIN needle to the next station.

[0066] In some embodiments of the present application, the material sorting module 6 includes a first sorting box 61 and a second sorting box 62, which are used to collect normal PIN needles and abnormal PIN needles, respectively.

[0067] When the needle suction mechanism 54 on the transfer module 5 is turned to the lower needle position, the extended end of the positioning guide is separated from the clamping mechanism, so that the positioning guide is squeezed by the compression spring and rises, and finally the two PIN needles on the PIN needle suction member are positioned, and then the suction head on the needle removal module is moved to the top of the two PIN needles of the transfer module. If the previous station is qualified, the two PIN needles on the needle suction mechanism are directly transferred to the transfer module by the needle removal module. Otherwise, if at least one of the PIN needles fails the test, the unqualified products are transferred to the first sorting box 61, and the qualified products are transferred to the second sorting box 62 to achieve classification processing so that the qualified products can be recycled and reused.

[0068] In some embodiments of the present application, the transfer module 7 includes a first conveying unit 71 and a second conveying unit 72 , and each of them is equipped with a pin mold 73 , and the pin pin is loaded on the pin mold 73 to transfer the pin pin to the welding station.

[0069] Specifically, after the suction head on the needle removal module absorbs the PIN, if the previous station detects that both PINs on the PIN needle adsorbing member are qualified, the corresponding two PIN needles will be transferred to the needle mold on the first conveying unit 71 or the needle mold on the second conveying unit 72. When one needle mold is loading, the other needle mold will be transferred to the welding station through the linear module, and so on, to ensure that the qualified product in one of the needle molds is provided to the PIN needle welding equipment of the IGBT module.

[0070] Through an automatic PIN pin feeding detection device in an embodiment of the present application, the PIN pin detection and feeding process before welding can be realized, meeting the detection requirements for the flatness, verticality, concentricity and position of the PIN pin during the transfer process, and can protect the surface of the PIN pin.

[0071] According to some embodiments of the present application, a PIN needle automatic feeding detection method is also provided, which uses the automatic feeding detection device described above and includes the following steps:

[0072] S1. Output the array PIN needles in sequence through the feeding module, and arrange the array PIN needles in parallel at the pinhole positions;

[0073] S2, transferring the array PIN needles at the pinhole position to the transfer module through the needle removal module, and transferring the PIN needles on the transfer module to the material distribution module or the transfer module;

[0075] S4, using the transfer module to transport the PIN needles that have been tested normally to the welding station.

For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium, and it can be the internal connection of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the embodiments of the present application can be understood according to the specific circumstances.
