[0024] The following will be combined with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are only used to explain the present invention, and cannot be understood as limiting the present invention.

[0025] A device for aligning a eutectic machine, such as Figure 1-6 As shown, it includes a base 1 and a high-precision alignment platform 8 arranged on the top of the base 1, a control substrate 10 is fixed on the top of the high-precision alignment platform 8, a quartz negative pressure adsorption plate 4 is arranged above the control substrate 10, and a sapphire liner 20 is adsorbed and fixed below the quartz negative pressure adsorption plate 4, and a slide groove 14 is opened at the center position of the base 1 and the high-precision alignment platform 8, the two slide grooves 14 are staggered with each other, and a driving mechanism is arranged in the two slide grooves 14, which can realize eutectic of a large capacity chip and the control substrate 10, and a high-definition camera is used to collect the position information of the Micro LED 19 chip and the control substrate 10, and a high-precision alignment platform is used to perform high-precision alignment of the two, a quartz negative pressure adsorption device made of colorless and transparent quartz material is used as a Micro LED 19 chip picking and fixing device, and laser heating is used to complete the eutectic welding and mounting process of Micro LED 19 and the control substrate 10. The eutectic process does not require the removal of the sapphire liner 20 of the Micro LED 19, and it is directly adsorbed by the quartz negative pressure adsorption device to allow the equipment to complete the eutectic welding work, and a module transfer laser heating eutectic welding method is adopted. The laser plane beam heats and welds the already aligned and fixed Micro LED 19 and the control substrate 10 through the quartz negative pressure adsorption device. The laser heating temperature can accurately control the temperature of the heating area to achieve modular transfer eutectic welding of Micro LED 19, avoiding secondary melting of a single transfer eutectic welding point of a single Micro LED 19, which would damage the Micro LED 19. The modular transfer eutectic welding of Micro LED 19 is fast and effectively increases the eutectic speed. The laser heats and melts the metal electrode (InSn) on the surface of the Micro LED 19 and the control substrate, and finally combines the two together without adding other solder. It reduces the solder adding process and saves production costs.

[0026] The driving mechanism includes a lead screw 12 rotatably arranged in a slide groove 14 and a slider 13 threadedly sleeved on the lead screw 12. The top ends of the two sliders 13 are fixedly connected to the high-precision alignment platform 8 and the control substrate 10 respectively. Motors 7 are installed on the side walls of the base 1 and the high-precision alignment platform 8. The shafts of the two motors 7 are fixedly connected to the two lead screws 12 respectively. After starting, the two sets of motors 7 drive the lead screws 12 to rotate, and during the rotation process, the two sliders 13 drive the high-precision alignment platform 8 and the control substrate 10 to move horizontally and vertically respectively. A plurality of grooves 6 are opened on the top end of the high-precision alignment platform 8, and positive electrodes and negative electrodes are respectively arranged in the grooves 6. A support frame 3 is fixed on the top end of the base 1, and a quartz negative pressure adsorption plate 4 is embedded and fixed in the support frame 3. In the figure, a plurality of negative pressure adsorption holes 11 are provided at the bottom end of the quartz negative pressure adsorption plate 4, wherein a negative pressure adsorption tube 5 connected to the negative pressure adsorption hole 11 is installed on the side wall of the quartz negative pressure adsorption plate 4. When in use, the negative pressure adsorption tube 5 is connected to an external negative pressure pump, so that the negative pressure adsorption tube 5 adsorbs and fixes the adsorption plate 2 through the negative pressure adsorption hole 11. In order to allow the light of the high-definition camera 17 and the laser emitting system 18 to penetrate, the adsorption plate 2 and the quartz negative pressure adsorption plate 4 are both made of transparent materials. A mounting frame 15 is fixed to the top of the support frame 3, and a laser emitting system 16 and a high-definition camera 17 are respectively embedded and fixed on the mounting frame 15. The high-definition camera 17 positions the high-precision alignment platform 8. At the same time, the laser generated by the laser emitting system 16 heats and melts the Micro LED 19 and the metal electrode (InSn) that controls the basic surface, and finally combines the two together. At the same time, an adsorption plate 2 is provided at the top of the sapphire liner 20, and a sealing plate 18 corresponding to the negative pressure adsorption hole 11 is provided at the center of the adsorption plate 2. The sealing plate 18 fits the bottom of the negative pressure adsorption hole 11, and the sealing plate 18 improves the sealing effect of the adsorption plate 2. LEDs 19 are provided on both sides of the bottom end surface of the adsorption plate 2, and alignment targets 9 are fixed on the side of the adsorption plate 2 facing the control substrate 10. First, the quartz negative pressure adsorption device takes the material from the material discharge box, collects the position information of Micro LED 19 and the control substrate 10 through a high-definition camera, and aligns them through a high-precision alignment platform. After the alignment is completed, the high-precision alignment platform rises to attach Micro LED 19 to the control substrate 10. Then the laser system works to heat the welding point, and finally mounts and welds Micro LED 19 and the control substrate 10 together.

[0027] Furthermore, a plurality of connecting holes 21 are provided at the top of the adsorption plate 2, and a connecting rod 22 embedded in the connecting hole 21 is fixed on the sapphire liner 20, and a mounting groove 24 is symmetrically provided at one end of the connecting rod 22 extending into the connecting hole 21, in which a spring 25 is embedded, and a block 23 tightly connected to the bottom wall of the connecting hole 21 is slidably inserted on the side wall of the mounting groove 24. Before processing, the sapphire liner 20 inserts the connecting rod 22 at the top into the connecting hole 21, and the inner wall of the adsorption plate 2 abuts against the arc-shaped portion of the block 23 on the side wall of the connecting rod 22, so that the block 23 squeezes the spring 25 to shrink into the mounting groove 24, until the top of the connecting rod 22 is fully extended into the connecting hole 21, and the spring 25 in the mounting groove 24 pushes the block 23 to protrude from the side wall of the connecting hole 21 and abuts against the bottom wall of the connecting hole 21, so that the adsorption plate 2 and the sapphire liner 20 are kept fixed.

[0028] The working principle of the present invention is as follows: First, the quartz negative pressure adsorption device takes the material from the material discharging box, collects the position information of Micro LED 19 and the control substrate 10 through a high-definition camera, and aligns the two sets of motors 7 through the high-precision alignment platform to drive the lead screw 12 to rotate after starting, and during the rotation process, the two sliders 13 drive the high-precision alignment platform 8 and the control substrate 10 to move horizontally and vertically respectively. The control substrate 10 includes a fixed bottom and a lifting top. An electric push rod is embedded in the bottom end of the control substrate 10. The electric push rod drives the top of the control substrate 10 to rise and fall. After the alignment is completed, the electric push rod in the high-precision alignment platform causes it to rise so that the Micro LED 19 and the control substrate 10 are attached together. A high-definition camera is used to collect the position information of the Micro LED19 chip and the control substrate 10, and a high-precision alignment platform is used to perform high-precision alignment of the two. A quartz negative pressure adsorption device made of colorless and transparent quartz material is used as a Micro LED19 chip picking and fixing device, and laser heating is used to complete the eutectic welding and mounting process of Micro LED19 and the control substrate 10. During the eutectic process, there is no need to remove the sapphire liner 20 of the Micro LED19, which is directly adsorbed by the quartz negative pressure adsorption device to allow the equipment to complete the eutectic welding work, and then the laser system works to heat the welding point. The laser eutectic welding method uses a laser system to heat and melt the metal electrodes in contact with the welding point and mount them together, and finally the Micro LED19 and the control substrate 10 are mounted and welded together. The laser plane beam passes through the quartz negative pressure adsorption device to heat and weld the Micro LED19 and the control substrate 10 that have been aligned and fixed. The laser heating temperature can accurately control the temperature of the heating area to realize the modular transfer eutectic welding of Micro LED19, avoiding the secondary melting of the single transfer eutectic welding point of a single Micro LED19, which causes damage to the Micro LED19. The modular transfer eutectic welding speed of MicroLED19 is fast, which effectively increases the eutectic speed. The laser heats and melts the MicroLED19 and the metal electrode (InSn) that controls the basic surface, and finally combines the two together without adding other solder. It reduces the solder adding process and saves production costs.
