[0023] First, refer to Figures 1 to 3 , the chip fetching and placing mechanism provided in the embodiment of the present application includes: A support frame 10, wherein a top plate 20 is disposed on the upper side of the support frame 10; A rotating motor 30 and a turntable 40, wherein the rotating motor 30 is fixed to the top plate 20, and the turntable 40 is connected to the rotating motor 30, and the rotating motor 30 is used to drive the turntable 40 to rotate. A plurality of chip suction heads 41 with equal spacing are arranged on the outer edge of the turntable 40, and a trigger device 42 is arranged above the chip suction head 41, and the trigger device 42 is electrically connected to the chip suction head 41; A loading assembly 50 and a unloading assembly 60, which are fixed to the support frame 10 and are located above the chip suction head 41. The loading assembly 50 includes a first lifting mechanism and a first CCD device, and the shooting direction of the first CCD device is aligned below the first lifting mechanism. The unloading assembly 60 includes a second lifting mechanism 61, and the first lifting mechanism and the second lifting mechanism 61 can be lowered and abut against the trigger device 42; The electrical performance detection assembly is fixed to the top plate 20 and is located between the loading assembly 50 and the unloading assembly 60. The electrical performance detection assembly includes a third lifting mechanism 70 and a detection card. The detection card is located at the lower end of the third lifting mechanism 70. Under the drive of the third lifting mechanism 70, the detection card moves in a vertical direction. The fourth lifting mechanism 80 and the fifth lifting mechanism 90, the top ends of the fourth lifting mechanism 80 and the fifth lifting mechanism 90 are fixed to the top plate 20, the fourth lifting mechanism 80 is arranged between the loading assembly 50 and the electrical performance detection assembly, and the fifth lifting mechanism 90 is arranged between the electrical performance detection assembly and the unloading assembly 60; The controller is communicatively connected to the rotating motor 30 , the trigger device 42 , the loading assembly 50 , the unloading assembly 60 , the electrical performance detection assembly, the fourth lifting mechanism 80 and the fifth lifting mechanism 90 .
[0024] It should be noted that the turntable 40 is provided with chip suction heads 41 at equal intervals, and the rotary motor 30 drives the turntable 40 to rotate at a preset angle, and each station passes through the detection equipment and the descending mechanism in sequence. After the rotary motor 30 obtains the rotation signal, it rotates at a preset angle, and the preset angle is associated with the station setting spacing. The rotary motor 30 rotates and drives the turntable 40 to rotate at a preset angle, so that two adjacent chip suction heads 41 pass through the loading assembly 50, the fourth lifting mechanism 80, the electrical performance detection equipment, the fifth lifting mechanism 90 and the unloading assembly 60 in the rotation direction of the turntable 40.
[0025] It should be noted that how to absorb the chip by the chip suction head 41 is an existing technology. The chip is placed under the chip suction head 41, and the first lifting mechanism can move in the vertical direction. The first lifting mechanism descends so that the first lifting mechanism abuts against the trigger device 42. The trigger device 42 generates an electrical signal and sends it to the chip suction head 41. The chip suction head 41 absorbs the chip to complete the loading. In order to realize the automated chip material transportation and detection, the conveyor belt can be located below the loading assembly 50 to transport the chip to the bottom of the chip suction head 41 located below the loading assembly 50.
[0026] It should be noted that the first CCD device is used to take a picture of the upper surface of the chip to obtain an image, and perform defect detection on the upper surface of the chip based on the image. How to detect the upper surface of the chip by taking a picture of the upper surface of the chip is a prior art, and this application does not make any improvements based on the defect detection of the chip surface image, so it will not be elaborated here.
[0027] It should be noted that the first CCD device obtains the offset angle of the unloaded chip based on the image captured of the chip, and sends the chip angle to an external device. The external device corrects the chip based on the chip angle to achieve neat placement during unloading, which facilitates subsequent chip transportation.
[0028] It should be noted that the surface of the probe card includes a plurality of contacts. Driven by the third lifting mechanism 70, the probe card moves downward, and the contacts of the probe card are in electrical contact with the contacts of the chip. If they are connected to each other, the test is passed, and if they are not connected, the test is not passed, thereby realizing the electrical performance detection of the chip. How to realize the electrical performance detection of the chip based on the probe card is a prior art. This application does not make any improvements to the electrical performance detection of the chip, and will not be elaborated here.
[0029] It should be noted that the fourth lifting mechanism 80 is used to unload chips that have not passed the upper surface visual inspection, that is, chips that have not passed the upper surface inspection do not need to be tested for electrical properties; the fifth lifting mechanism 90 is used to unload chips that have not passed the electrical properties inspection, that is, the fourth lifting mechanism 80, the fifth lifting mechanism 90 and the second lifting mechanism 61 are used to implement classification based on chip inspection results. The chips unloaded by the fourth lifting mechanism 80 are chips with defects on the upper surface, the chips unloaded by the fifth lifting mechanism 90 are chips that have passed the visual test but failed the electrical properties test, and the chips unloaded by the second lifting mechanism 61 are chips that have passed both the visual test and the electrical properties test.
[0030] It should be noted that an additional lifting mechanism can be set between the unloading component 60 and the loading component 50. The lifting mechanism located between the unloading component 60 and the loading component 50 is used to unload the chip suction head 41 passing through the unloading component 60 again to ensure that the chip suction head 41 entering under the loading component 50 does not suck up the chip.
[0031] It should be noted that the unloading component 60 unloads the chips that have passed the visual test and the electrical performance test, and has two unloading logics. The first unloading logic is that every time the turntable 40 rotates once, the second lifting mechanism 61 unloads the chip suction head 41 located below the unloading component 60; the second unloading logic is that the second lifting mechanism 61 only unloads the chip suction head 41 that is located below the unloading component 60 and has sucked chips, and there is no operation on the chip suction head 41 that has not sucked chips.
[0032] It should be noted that the controller sends signals to control the rotating motor 30, the trigger device 42, the loading assembly 50, the unloading assembly 60, the electrical performance detection assembly, the fourth lifting mechanism 80 and the fifth lifting mechanism 90 to operate.
[0033] Through the technical solution of this embodiment, the chip pick-and-place mechanism is started, and the rotating motor 30 drives the first chip suction head 41 to rotate to the bottom of the loading assembly 50 through the turntable 40. The first chip is located below the first chip suction head 41. The first CCD device takes a picture of the upper surface of the first chip and obtains an image, and performs visual inspection based on the image. If there is no defect on the upper surface of the chip, it passes the visual inspection, and if there is a defect on the upper surface of the chip, it fails the visual inspection. The rotating motor 30 drives the first chip to rotate to the bottom of the fourth lifting mechanism 80. The fourth lifting mechanism 80 operates the first chip based on the visual inspection result. If the first chip passes the visual inspection, the fourth lifting mechanism 80 does not operate the first chip. If the first chip fails the visual inspection, the fourth lifting mechanism 80 performs a material unloading operation on the first chip. The rotating motor 30 drives the first chip that passes the visual inspection to rotate to the bottom of the electrical performance test assembly. The electrical performance test assembly performs an electrical performance test on the first chip through a detection card. If the first chip and the detection card are connected to each other, it passes the electrical performance test. If they are not connected, it fails the electrical performance test. The rotating motor 30 drives the first chip to rotate to the bottom of the fifth lifting mechanism 90. The fifth lifting mechanism 90 operates the first chip based on the electrical performance test results. If the first chip passes the electrical performance test, the fifth lifting mechanism 90 does not operate on the first chip. If the first chip fails the electrical performance test, the fifth lifting mechanism 90 performs a material unloading operation on the first chip. The rotating motor 30 drives the first chip that has passed the visual inspection and electrical performance inspection to rotate to the bottom of the second lifting mechanism 61. The second lifting mechanism 61 unloads the first chip. Through the rotating motor 30, the turntable 40, the first CCD device and the electrical performance testing assembly of the present application, the detection of multi-station chips is realized, and after the chip is sucked by a chip suction head 41, the chip can be taken and tested without the need for a lowering operation, and the chips are classified based on the test results, which reduces the flow time between chip devices, improves chip production efficiency, reduces the equipment cost required for chip production, and saves installation space.
[0034] In addition, in one embodiment, referring to Figure 3 , also includes multiple solenoid valves 43 and multiple flow meters 44, multiple chip suction heads 41 are connected to the vacuum pump, each trigger device 42 is electrically connected to a solenoid valve 43 and a flow meter 44, the solenoid valve 43 is located between a chip suction head 41 and the vacuum pump, the flow meter 44 is located inside the chip suction head 41, the flow meter 44 is used to detect the gas flow of the chip suction head 41, and the multiple flow meters 44 are all communicatively connected to the controller.
[0035] It should be noted that one end of the chip suction head 41 is used to suck the chip, and the other end is connected to the vacuum pump through an air pipe. The vacuum pump works continuously, and the solenoid valve 43 is used to open and close the air pipe channel between the vacuum pump and the chip suction head 41.
[0036] It should be noted that the chip suction head 41 has not sucked the chip, the lifting mechanism abuts against the trigger device 42, the trigger device 42 generates an electrical signal and sends it to the solenoid valve 43 and the flow meter 44, the solenoid valve 43 and the flow meter 44 are turned on, and the vacuum pump draws air through the opened solenoid valve 43. The flow meter 44 detects the gas flow passing through the chip suction head 41. When the gas flow is lower than the preset threshold, the chip is sucked by the chip suction head 41 and forms a closed space, that is, the chip suction head 41 has completed chip loading; the chip suction head 41 has sucked the chip, the trigger device 42 generates an electrical signal and sends it to the solenoid valve 43 and the flow meter 44, the solenoid valve 43 and the flow meter 44 are closed, and the chip suction head 41 puts down the chip to realize chip unloading.
[0037] It should be noted that during the opening process of the solenoid valve 43, the flow meter 44 continuously monitors the gas flow. When the gas flow suddenly increases, that is, the chip falls off the chip suction head 41, the chip placement mechanism sounds an alarm, and the operator checks the chip placement equipment and the chip.
[0038] In addition, in one embodiment, referring to Figure 1 The unloading assembly 60 includes a second CCD device, and the shooting direction of the second CCD device is aligned below the second lifting mechanism 61.
[0039] It should be noted that the chip is placed on the chip fixture through the chip placement device to facilitate subsequent material collection and transportation. The second CCD device is used to perform positioning detection on the chip fixture. If the chip fixture is located at the specified position, the chip is unloaded into the chip fixture through the second lifting mechanism 61. If the chip fixture fails the positioning detection, the offset angle of the chip fixture is determined based on the image obtained by the second CCD device of the chip fixture, and sent to the external device, and the angle of the chip fixture is corrected by the external device.
[0040] It should be noted that those skilled in the art know how to obtain the angle of the chip fixture based on a visual device and correct the chip fixture based on the obtained angle. How to obtain the angle of the chip fixture based on a visual device and how to correct the chip fixture are prior arts, and this application does not make any improvements, so they will not be elaborated here.
[0041] In addition, an embodiment of the present invention provides a control method for a chip pick-and-place mechanism, which is applied to Figures 1 to 3 The chip placement mechanism of the embodiment shown in FIG. Figure 4 The method includes but is not limited to the following steps: S10, the controller sends a rotation signal to the rotary motor, and the rotary motor drives the turntable to rotate, so that the first chip suction head rotates to the bottom of the loading assembly, and the first chip is placed under the first chip suction head; S20, the controller controls the loading component to perform CCD detection on the first chip to obtain a first CCD detection result, and sends the first CCD detection result to the controller. After the controller controls the first chip suction head to suck the first chip, it sends a rotation signal to the rotating motor again; S30, when the first chip suction head rotates to the bottom of the fourth lifting mechanism, when the first CCD detection result indicates that the CCD detection fails, the controller controls the fourth lifting mechanism to trigger the trigger device of the first chip suction head so that the first chip suction head puts down the first chip, or, when the first CCD detection result indicates that the CCD detection passes, controls the first chip suction head to rotate to the bottom of the electrical performance detection component, controls the electrical performance detection component to perform electrical performance detection on the first chip to obtain a first electrical performance detection result, and sends the first electrical performance detection result to the controller; S40, the controller rotates the first chip suction head to the bottom of the fifth lifting mechanism. When the first electrical performance test result indicates that the electrical performance test fails, the controller controls the fifth lifting mechanism to trigger the trigger device of the first chip suction head to make the first chip suction head put down the first chip. Alternatively, when the first electrical performance test result indicates that the electrical performance test passes, the controller controls the first chip suction head to rotate to the bottom of the unloading component, and the unloading component completes the unloading of the first chip.
[0042] It should be noted that the chip pick-and-place mechanism is based on the technical principle of the rotary motor driving the chip through the turntable and the chip suction head to carry out material transfer and detection operations. Figures 1 to 3 The description of the illustrated embodiment will not be repeated here.
[0043] It should be noted that after receiving the rotation signal, the rotary motor rotates a preset angle so that the chip suction head that has completed chip loading moves toward the direction of the fourth lifting mechanism, and the first chip suction head rotates to the bottom of the loading assembly.
