Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the technical field of automated equipment, and in particular, to a fully automatic chip detection device for encapsulation on a tray. Background Art

[0002] A tray, also known as a material tray, is a container for holding materials. The traditional method of loading and unloading trays uses manual feeding or picking operations, which are inefficient and time-consuming. With the acceleration of the automation process in the manufacturing industry, the requirements for efficiency in deeper automation development are also getting higher and higher. There have emerged methods for automated tray loading and unloading. However, the existing automated tray loading and unloading technologies require the tray to be loaded or unloaded to be placed on the working platform first, and then the materials are placed on the tray or removed from the tray on the working platform.

Detailed implementation manners

[0034] In the following detailed description, reference is made to the accompanying drawings which form a part of the detailed description and in which are shown illustrative specific embodiments by which the present application may be practiced. In this regard, directional terms, such as "top", "bottom", "left", "right", "up", "down", etc., are used with reference to the orientation of the described figures. Since the components of the embodiments may be positioned in several different orientations, the directional terms are used for purposes of illustration and are in no way limiting. It should be understood that other embodiments may be utilized or logical changes may be made without departing from the scope of the present application. Accordingly, the following detailed description should not be taken in a limiting sense, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims.

[0035] As Figures 1 to 7 shown, a fully automatic chip detection device for encapsulation on a tray includes: a loading module 5, a gripper pulling module 6, a tray belt transmission module 1, and a detection stage module 3; the loading module 5 is configured to transport a tray carrying chips; one end of the detection stage module 3 is provided with the tray belt transmission module 1; the feeding direction of the tray belt transmission module 1 is connected to the loading module 5, and the discharging direction is connected to the detection stage module 3; the gripper pulling module 6 is arranged below the tray belt transmission module 1, and the tray belt transmission module 1 and the gripper pulling module 6 cooperate to realize the transmission of the tray from the loading module 5 to the detection stage module 3.

[0036] Compared with the wafer detection device in this application, the edge finder, manipulator and other stations are reduced; with fewer stations, the corresponding hardware costs will definitely decrease; and there is no need for the manipulator to repeatedly move back and forth between several stations, which saves the time of the manipulator handling process and makes the overall process simpler.

[0037] Specifically, the tray belt transmission module 1 includes: a mapping sensor 1a, a belt transmission shaft 1c, a pulling track tensioning shaft 1b, a transmission track 1d, and a position sensor 1e; a position sensor 1e is arranged at one end of the transmission track 1d, and a mapping sensor 1a is arranged at the other end; belt transmission shafts 1c are respectively arranged on both sides of the transmission track 1d, and a pulling track tensioning shaft 1b is arranged below the transmission track 1d.

[0038] Since this application uses a heavier tray, and the robotic arm is not suitable for this kind of product with a tray. This product itself is relatively heavy, which is a problem for the joint load of the manipulator. And the handling process of the manipulator will be relatively complex. After picking up the chip, actions such as rotation are required, and the cycle time will be extended. Considering the cost, this kind of transmission module is also lower in cost compared with the manipulator.

[0039] Specifically, the loading module 5 includes: a Z-axis loading unit 5a, an X-axis loading unit 5b, and a port 5c; the port 5c is configured to store the tray; the X-axis loading unit 5b is configured to drive the port 5c to move along the X-axis; the Z-axis loading unit 5a is configured to drive the port 5c to move along the Z-axis.

[0040] Specifically, the gripper pulling module 6 includes: a Y-axis pulling unit 6c, a gripper lifting cylinder 6b, and a gripper cylinder 6a; the gripper cylinder 6a is configured to grip the tray; the gripper lifting cylinder 6b is configured to control the vertical lifting of the tray; the Y-axis pulling unit 6c is configured to drive the tray to move along the Y-axis.

[0041] Specifically, the detection stage module 3 includes: a marble base 3c; a detection track 3d is arranged in the middle of the marble base 3c along the Y-axis direction; a detection stage 3e is arranged on the detection track 3d, and the detection stage 3e moves along the detection track 3d; air-floating floor feet 3b are arranged on both sides of the detection track 3d, and a loading ejector pin 3a is arranged at one end of the detection track 3d.

[0042] Specifically, it further includes: a detection mirror module; the detection mirror module is arranged above the marble base 3c; the detection mirror module includes a detection mirror unit 2 and a detection mirror driving unit 4; the detection mirror unit 2 is arranged on the detection mirror driving unit 4 and is driven by the detection mirror driving unit 4 to move the detection mirror unit 2 above the detection stage 3e.

[0043] Specifically, it further includes a housing 7; the loading module 5, the jaw pulling module 6, the tray belt transmission module 1 and the detection stage module 3 are arranged inside the housing 7; a viewing window is opened on the housing 7.

[0044] In a specific embodiment, the working process of the device is as follows:

[0045] The tray loading and unloading module is composed of a loading Z-axis and an X-axis. The Z-axis lifts and lowers so that products can be picked up and placed on each layer. The X-axis provides two loading positions. When one product is being detected, the other port can perform loading and unloading, enabling multi-station operation. After the tray is loaded, the Z-axis lifts and lowers, and the mapping sensor 1a performs mapping to determine the product status in the cassette. Then, the pulling module uses the jaws to pick up the product. The jaws clamp the product and pull it to the conveyor belt. The belt rotates to transport the tray directly above the stage. There is a sensor at the front to determine the stop position of the transmission. Due to the weight of the tray itself and the product characteristics, it cannot be transported by a manipulator like a wafer. However, in the combination of this transmission module and the pulling module, it also functions like a manipulator, providing accurate positioning and transportation. Considering the linearity of the track during transportation, the conveyor belt also has an opening and closing function. It can open to a certain extent during handover to absorb the error during absorption and handover, and close to a smaller range during normal movement to prevent the tray from tilting.

[0046] After the tray arrives, the loading ejector pin 3a of the stage rises to lift the product. After the belt opens, the cylinder descends to hand over the product to the detection stage 3e. After the tray is vacuum adsorbed, subsequent detection actions are carried out. The detection axis is designed with air-floating floor feet 3b, making the movement accuracy of the stage higher and smoother. Similarly, the camera lens group axis is also designed with a linear encoder and air-floating floor feet 3b, further ensuring high-precision detection.

[0047] After the detection is completed, it returns to the corresponding cassette in the same way, and then the detection of the next product is carried out.

[0048] Obviously, those skilled in the art can make various modifications and changes to the embodiments of the present application without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. In this way, if these modifications and changes are within the scope of the claims of the present application and their equivalent forms, the present application also aims to cover these modifications and changes. The word "comprising" does not exclude the presence of other elements or steps not listed in the claims. The simple fact that certain measures are recited in mutually different dependent claims does not indicate that a combination of these measures cannot be used to advantage. Any reference signs in the claims should not be construed as limiting the scope.
