DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0029] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0030] See attached Figure 1-8 A semiconductor plastic package thickness detection device includes a frame 1 and a laser detector 2 installed thereon to measure the thickness of the plastic package body. The laser detector 2 is provided with a detection head 3 for emitting and receiving laser signals. A thickness control mechanism is provided on the side of the laser detector 2 close to the detection head 3. The thickness control mechanism includes a shell 41 connected to the laser detector 2. A lower sensing column 421 is provided at the bottom of the shell 41. The lower sensing column 421 can only move in a vertical direction under the restriction of the shell 41. The bottom of the lower sensing column 421 extends out of the shell 41, and a ball 422 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the lower sensing column 421. The ball 422 is a spherical structure, and its bottom exceeds the lower sensing column 421. An upper sensing column 431 is provided on the top of the shell 41. The upper sensing column 431 can only move in a vertical direction under the restriction of the shell 41. The upper sensing column 431 is correspondingly arranged below the detection head 3. A lever unit is hinged in the shell 41. The lever unit is respectively connected to the lower sensing column 421 and the upper sensing column 431 to increase the relative displacement of the upper sensing column 431.

[0031] When in use, the ball 422 moves along the surface of the plastic package body. When the surface thickness of the plastic package body exceeds the standard, the ball 422 will contact the top of the plastic package body and be pushed upward. At this time, the lower sensing column 421 will also be pushed upward. At this time, the upper sensing column 431 will also be pushed upward under the drive of the lever unit. At this time, under the action of the lever unit, the upward movement distance of the upper sensing column 431 is significantly greater than the upward movement distance of the ball 422 and the lower sensing column 421, thereby relatively amplifying the slight changes in the surface thickness of the plastic package body, enhancing the sensitivity of the laser detector 2 to thickness changes, and thus improving the detection accuracy.

[0032] In order to amplify the displacement of the upper sensing column 431, the lever unit includes a first lever 42 and a second lever 43 hinged in the shell 41, the two levers are horizontally arranged up and down, one end of the two levers is connected by a connecting rod 44, so that the first lever 42 can drive the second lever 43 to move, the bottom of the first lever 42 is connected to the inner wall of the shell 41 by a spring 45, so that the first lever 42 and the second lever 43 maintain a balanced state, one end of the first lever 42 away from the connecting rod 44 is hinged to the lower sensing column 421, and the first lever 42 is provided with a first rotating shaft 423 connected to the shell 41 on both sides of the end of the lower sensing column 421, so that the first lever 42 can move. To control the displacement of both ends of the first lever 42, one end of the second lever 43 away from the connecting rod 44 is hinged to the upper sensing column 431, and the second lever 43 is provided with second rotating shafts 432 connected to the shell 41 on both sides of the end of the connecting rod 44 to control the displacement distance of both ends of the second lever 43. When the ball 422 at the bottom of the lower sensing column 421 is squeezed by the plastic package body, the first lever 42 rotates around the first rotating shaft 423, and drives the second lever 43 to rotate around the second rotating shaft 432 through the connecting rod 44, thereby amplifying the relative displacement of the upper sensing column 431, so that the laser detector 2 can more easily sense the change of the surface thickness of the plastic package body.

[0033] In order to keep the lens of the detection head 3 clean, a wiping mechanism is provided on the shell 41, and the wiping mechanism includes a rotating column 51 rotatably connected to the top of the shell 41, and a carrying box 52 is provided on one side of the rotating column 51. The carrying box 52 is provided with a wiping port 58, and a wiping cloth is installed in the wiping port 58. The wiping cloth is made of microfiber cloth and is located under the detection head 3 so that the wiping cloth can fit the lens of the detection head 3. By controlling the rotation of the rotating column 51, the carrying box 52 can drive the wiping cloth to rotate. In this process, the wiping cloth can wipe the lens of the detection head 3 without the need for regular manual wiping.

[0034] The internal structure of the carrying box 52 is symmetrical from top to bottom. A mounting roller 53, a first guide roller 54 and a second guide roller 55 are installed in pairs in the carrying box 52. The mounting roller 53 is detachably connected to the carrying box 52. A wiping cloth roller is installed on one of the mounting rollers 53. The wiping cloth on the wiping cloth roller passes through the first guide roller 54 and the second guide roller 55 in sequence and is connected to the other mounting roller 53. The wiping cloth can be kept in a taut state so that the top of the wiping cloth fits the lens of the detection head 3, and one end of the mounting roller 53 connected to the tail end of the wiping cloth is connected to a motor 56. When the motor 56 is started, the mounting roller 53 connected thereto will rotate, thereby winding the wiping cloth to prevent the wiping cloth that contacts the lens of the detection head 3 from being contaminated with more impurities and affecting the wiping effect.

[0035] The top of the carrying box 52 is covered with a box cover 57 to protect the wiping cloth from external contamination.

[0036] Both ends of the mounting roller 53 pass through the supporting box 52, and both ends are screws, and nuts are threadedly connected to the outer walls of the screws so that the mounting roller 53 can be installed on the supporting box 52. There is a gap between the nuts on both sides and the side walls of the supporting box 52 to facilitate the rotation of the mounting roller 53 relative to the supporting box 52, making it convenient to disassemble the mounting roller 53 and replace it with a new wiping cloth roller.

[0037] The rotating column 51 is a hollow column, and an arc groove 511 is provided in its internal circumference along its inner wall. A pull rod 512 is provided inside the rotating column 51, and an outer wall at the top of the pull rod 512 is provided with an insertion rod 513 inserted into the arc groove 511. The bottom of the pull rod 512 is hinged to the top of the second lever 43 to control the rotation of the rotating column 51 by the deflection of the second lever 43. When the ball 422 is lifted by the top of the plastic package body, the second lever 43 will deflect, further causing the pull rod 512 to be pulled downward. At this time, the insertion rod 513 moves downward in the arc groove 511, causing the rotating column 51 to deflect, further causing the carrier box 52 to drive the wiping sheet to deflect and wipe the lens of the detection head 3, thereby realizing the linkage control of the wiping of the lens of the detection head 3 and the change of the surface thickness of the plastic package body, effectively preventing the problem of misjudgment of the surface thickness of the plastic package body caused by contamination of the lens surface of the detection head 3, and ensuring the accuracy of the detection result.

[0038] In order to realize the detection of different positions of the plastic-sealed body, a bracket adjustment mechanism is provided on the frame 1, and the bracket adjustment mechanism includes a first chain 6, a first guide rail 7 is installed at one end of the first chain 6, and a second guide rail 8 is provided at the bottom of the first guide rail 7 in a perpendicular state to the direction thereof, so that the first guide rail 7 can slide thereon, the first chain 6 moves and drives the first guide rail 7 to move along the second guide rail 8, a sensor bracket 9 is slidably connected to the first guide rail 7, and a second chain 10 connected to the sensor bracket 9 is provided on one side thereof to drive the sensor bracket 9 to move in the direction of the first guide rail 7, the second chain 10 moves and drives the sensor bracket 9 to move along the first guide rail 7, thereby realizing the detection of different positions of the plastic-sealed body, the first chain 6 drives the first guide rail 7 to move and the second chain 10 drives the sensor bracket 9 to move, which belongs to the prior art and is not described in detail in this application, and the sensor bracket 9 is symmetrically provided with a laser detector 2 above and below to simultaneously detect the upper and lower surfaces of the plastic-sealed body to improve the detection efficiency.

[0039] A track 11 for carrying the plastic-sealed body is provided on the top of the frame 1. The plastic-sealed body moves along the track 11. A pushing mechanism is provided in the track 11. The pushing mechanism includes a third chain 12. A cylinder 13 is provided on the third chain 12. The third chain 12 can drive the cylinder 13 to move and belongs to the prior art. No specific details are given in this application. A push plate 14 for pushing the plastic-sealed body is provided at the output end of the cylinder 13. When the plastic-sealed body needs to be pushed, the third chain 12 drives the cylinder 13 and the push plate 14 to move. At this time, the push plate 14 pushes the plastic-sealed body to move along the track 11. After the push plate 14 pushes the plastic-sealed body to a suitable position, the output end of the cylinder 13 is controlled to retract, so that the push plate 14 can move downward. Then, after the third chain 12 is controlled to reset to its initial position, the output end of the cylinder 13 is controlled to extend upward, so that the push plate 14 can continue to push the plastic-sealed body at that location.
