The wiring of this control system is complicated, which has caused great inconvenience to production and subsequent maintenance. With the increase in the functions of 3C automated testing and semiconductor equipment, the structure is becoming more and more complex, which directly leads to an increasing number of motors used in the equipment. The number of motors that can be controlled by control systems such as pulse control cards can no longer meet the needs of process development.

[0058] Figure 3 It is a module schematic diagram of another embedded visual inspection and placement equipment control system provided by an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 4 Schematic diagram of the automatic direct drive motor magnet patch equipment provided by the embodiment of the present invention. Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Optionally, the magnet docking module 22 includes a conveyor belt;

[0059] And / or, the magnetic track docking module 23 includes a docking line.

[0060] Specifically, the function of the docking line is to load the magnetic track and transport the magnetic track to the gluing station. After the gluing operation is completed, it is moved to the magnet bonding unit 121 to wait for the magnet material to be bonded. After bonding is completed, it is transported to the temperature control unit 42 to heat and cure the glue, and finally moved to the unloading area. The magnetic track docking module 23 is connected to the USB3.0 interface of the main controller 30 through the second communication module 21, so that the main controller 30 controls the docking line to perform the above-mentioned motion operation and logic control.

[0061] Optionally, the magnet docking module 22 is also used to transport the magnets to the magnetic pole detection station and the magnet flipping station in sequence under the control of the motion controller 20;

[0062] The embedded visual inspection and placement equipment control system also includes a magnetic pole detection module 52, which is used to detect the magnetic pole of the magnet located at the magnetic pole detection station. The magnetic pole detection module 52 is connected to the main controller 30 through the fifth communication module 51. The main controller 30 is used to control the magnet flipping unit 122 to flip the magnet located at the magnet flipping station to a preset magnetic pole based on the magnetic pole information of the magnet through the motion controller 20; the motion module 12 also includes the magnet flipping unit 122.

[0063] Among them, the fifth communication module 51 is a network port expansion card.

[0064] Specifically, the magnet docking module 22 starts working under the control of the motion controller 20. The magnets are transported to the magnetic pole detection station in turn. The magnets located at the magnetic pole detection station are detected by the magnetic pole detection module 52. The magnetic pole detection module 52 communicates with the main controller 30 through the fifth communication module 51, and sends the detected magnetic pole information to the main controller 30. After receiving the magnetic pole information sent by the magnetic pole detection module 52, the main controller 30 determines whether the magnetic pole of the current magnet meets the preset requirements. If the magnetic pole does not meet the requirements, the main controller 30 controls the magnet flipping unit to perform a flipping operation through the motion controller 20. Under the control of the motion controller 20, the magnet flipping unit 122 flips the magnet located at the magnet flipping station to the preset magnetic pole. The flipped magnet may be confirmed again by the magnetic pole detection station, or directly enter the next processing flow.

[0065] Optionally, the magnetic track docking module 23 is also used to transport the magnetic track substrate to the loading station and the gluing station in sequence under the control of the motion controller 20;

[0066] The gluing unit 123 is used to glue the magnetic track located at the gluing station under the control of the motion controller 20; the motion module 12 also includes the gluing unit 123;

[0067] The embedded visual inspection and placement equipment control system also includes a gluing visual inspection module;

[0068] The glue coating visual inspection module is used to obtain the glue coating path and glue coating morphology of the magnetic track located at the glue coating station;

[0069] The main controller 30 is used to control the glue coating unit through the motion controller 20 to correct the glue coating path according to the glue coating path and glue coating morphology of the magnetic track.

[0070] Among them, there are strict requirements on the glue coating process, and there must not be too much glue, too little glue, missing glue, or skewness.

[0071] Specifically, the magnetic track docking module 23 starts working under the control of the motion controller 20. The magnetic track substrate is transported to the loading station. After the necessary preparations are completed at the loading station, the magnetic track substrate is further transported to the gluing station. Under the control of the motion controller 20, the gluing unit 123 starts to perform gluing operations on the magnetic track located at the gluing station. The gluing process may involve precise control of parameters such as the amount of glue, the speed of glue, and the path of glue. During the gluing process or after the gluing is completed, the gluing visual detection module obtains the gluing path and gluing morphology information of the magnetic track located at the gluing station through a high-precision visual sensor. The gluing path information may include the trajectory and position of the glue, etc.; the gluing morphology information may include the uniformity, thickness, and whether there are defects in the glue. The main controller 30 receives the gluing path and gluing morphology information sent by the gluing visual detection module. The main controller 30 determines whether the current gluing operation meets the requirements based on the preset gluing quality standard or algorithm. If the gluing does not meet the requirements, the main controller 30 will generate a correction instruction. The main controller 30 controls the glue coating unit through the motion controller 20, and adjusts the glue coating path or related parameters according to the correction instruction. The glue coating unit 123 re-performs the glue coating operation according to the new instruction, or adjusts the morphology of the glue coated part. The corrected magnetic track substrate may continue to enter the next processing flow. If the glue coating quality still does not meet the requirements, further manual intervention or scrapping may be required.

[0072] Optionally, the motion module 12 further includes a material recovery unit, which is further used to transport magnets with appearance defects to a material recovery area;

[0073] And / or, the magnet docking module 22 is also used to transport the magnets to the cleaning station;

[0074] The cleaning unit is used to clean the surface where the magnet and the magnetic track are in contact, and the motion module 12 also includes a cleaning unit.

[0075] Specifically, the magnet is inspected for appearance defects by the visual defect detection module 32. If the magnet has no appearance defects, the next step of processing is entered. If the magnet has appearance defects, the motion module 12 controls the material recovery unit to transport the magnet with appearance defects from the current position to the material recovery area. For magnets without appearance defects, the magnet docking module 22 transports the magnets without appearance defects to the cleaning station. The cleaning unit is started to clean the surface where the magnet and the magnetic rail are bonded to prevent foreign matter on the surface from affecting the strength of the glue connection. Cleaning may involve physical brushing, chemical solvent cleaning, ultrasonic cleaning and other methods, depending on the material of the magnet, the type of stains and the cleaning requirements. After cleaning is completed, the subsequent operation process is entered.

[0076] Optionally, the magnet is located in the clip, and the magnet docking module 22 is also used to transport the magnet to the loading station under the control of the motion controller 20;

[0077] The magnet loading unit 124 is used to push the magnet out of the clip and transport the magnet to the magnetic pole detection station through the docking module. The motion module 12 also includes the magnet loading unit 124.

[0078] Specifically, the magnet has been placed in the magazine for loading and subsequent processing. Under the control of the motion controller 20, the magnet docking module 22 transports the magazine with the magnet to the loading station. When the magazine arrives at the loading station, the magnet loading unit 124 pushes the magnet out of the magazine, usually through a mechanical structure (such as a push rod, a slide rail, etc.). The pushed magnet is transported to the magnetic pole detection station through the docking module.

[0079] Optionally, the motion module 12 includes multiple motors and multiple motion axes, and the motor driver 13 is connected to the motion controller 20 through the first communication module 11; the motion axis moves under the drive of the motor drive shaft;

[0080] Preferably, the motion module 12 includes a gantry mechanism.

[0081] Specifically, the motion controller 20 establishes a communication connection with the motor driver 13 through the first communication module 11 to ensure that the instruction can be accurately transmitted. The motion controller 20 configures the motion parameters of the motor, such as speed, acceleration, target position, etc. The motion parameters are sent to the motor driver 13 through the first communication module 11, and the driver controls the movement of the motor according to the received motion parameters. The motion controller 20 sends the control instruction to the motor driver 13 through the first communication module 11. After receiving the instruction, the motor driver 13 controls the movement of the motor. The motor starts to rotate, and its drive shaft drives the motion axis in the motion module 12 to move. During the movement, the motor driver 13 may obtain the real-time position, speed and other information of the motor through the sensor. The real-time position, speed and other information are fed back to the motion controller 20 through the first communication module 11 for precise control and adjustment. The motion module 12 includes a gantry mechanism, which is usually characterized by high precision, high rigidity and high stability, and can ensure the precise movement of the motion axis.

[0083] Specifically, the main function of the motion axis is to realize the loading of magnets, magnet polarity detection and flipping of magnets to the correct polarity, and then visual defect detection of magnets, unloading and recycling defective magnets, moving qualified magnets to the cleaning station and then transporting them to the bonding station and the magnetic track for magnets. The control of the motion axis is completed through data exchange with the motion control network card of the main controller 30.

[0084] Optionally, a display module 62 is further included, which is connected to the main controller 30 via the sixth communication module 61 and is used to display at least one of the transportation information of the magnet, the detection information of the magnet, the transportation information of the magnetic track, and the fitting information of the magnet and the magnetic track.

[0085] The sixth communication module 61 is a High Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) interface. The HDMI interface supports human-computer interface interaction, and an external display can display a software interaction interface.

[0086] Specifically, the main controller 30 establishes a communication connection with the display module 62 through the sixth communication module 61 to ensure real-time transmission and display of information. The magnet docking module 22 transports the magnet to the loading station according to the instructions of the main controller 30. The display module 62 will update the transportation information of the magnet in real time, such as the current position of the magnet, the transportation speed, etc. After the necessary preparation at the loading station, the magnet is transported to the magnetic pole detection station. The magnetic pole detection module 52 accurately detects the magnetic pole of the magnet and sends the detection result to the main controller 30. After receiving the detection result, the main controller 30 will display it to the staff through the display module 62 so that the staff can understand the magnetic pole state of the magnet. The magnetic track docking module 23 will also transport the magnetic track to the designated processing station according to the instructions of the main controller 30. The display module 62 will synchronously update the transportation information of the magnetic track. When the magnet and the magnetic track arrive at the designated processing station, the system will perform operations such as bonding and gluing. Under the precise control of the main controller 30, the magnet and the magnetic track are precisely bonded together. The display module 62 will display the bonding information of the magnet and the magnetic track, such as bonding position, bonding quality, etc. In the entire processing flow, the display module 62 will continuously update the transportation information, detection information, and bonding information of the magnet and the magnetic track.
