Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of semiconductor processing, and more particularly to a glass slide magazine loading and unloading device. BACKGROUND

[0002] MipLED is a chip-level packaged LED display technology, and its core is to cut, package and integrate micro-LED chips to form a high-precision display screen module. Its production process mainly includes chip transfer and packaging, cutting and light splitting processing, and module assembly. Through the use of massive transfer technology, Micro / Mini LED chips are transferred from a wafer to a carrier board, and electrical connection and fixation are achieved through photolithography or fan-out packaging technology. Then the packaged panel is cut into single or multi-chip, and the color and brightness consistent pixel points are selected through light splitting and light mixing process to ensure that the display consistency reaches the cinema-level color gamut standard. Finally, the processed chips are welded to the PCB board using SMT patch technology to complete the display module production.

Errors are prone to occur during manual operation, such as inaccurate placement of glass slides, affecting the accuracy of subsequent processing. In addition, a large amount of repetitive operation wastes human resources and reduces the overall production efficiency of the factory. SUMMARY

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0038] The application will be further described in detail below with reference to the drawings. It is necessary to point out here that the following detailed description is only used to further illustrate the application and cannot be understood as limiting the scope of protection of the application. Those skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the application according to the above application content.

[0039] Refer to the description attached Figures 1 to 12 A glass slide magazine feeding and discharging device, comprising: a shell 1, the shell 1 is provided with a lifting assembly 11, the output end of the lifting assembly 11 is installed with a magazine conveying positioning mechanism 2, the lifting assembly 11 is used to drive the vertical linear motion of the magazine conveying positioning mechanism 2, the magazine conveying positioning mechanism 2 is provided with a magazine 3, the magazine 3 comprises a frame 31, a plurality of glass slides 33 are vertically and uniformly arranged and placed in the frame 31, the shell 1 is provided with a feeding and discharging conveying mechanism 4, the feeding and discharging conveying mechanism 4 is used to position and convey the magazine 3 into the magazine conveying positioning mechanism 2;

[0040] The shell 1 is further provided with a locking mechanism 5, the locking mechanism 5 is used to lock and unlock the plurality of glass slides 33, so as to realize the automatic locking and unlocking of the glass slides 33;

[0041] The shell 1 is further provided with a pulling mechanism 6, which comprises a track 61 and a push-pull assembly 63. The push-pull assembly 63 can move linearly along the track 61. The push-pull assembly 63 comprises a push-pull block 633 and a suction cup 634. The suction cup 634 is used to adsorb and fix the glass slide 33. The bottom of the feeding and conveying mechanism 4 is provided with a pushing mechanism 7, which is used to push the glass slide 33 in the frame 31 out of the frame 31. When the push-pull assembly 63 moves linearly, the suction cup 634 can pull the adsorbed glass slide 33 out of the frame 31, and the push-pull block 633 can push the processed glass slide 33 back into the frame 31.

[0042] It should be noted that the lifting assembly 11 is a linear motor, and the feeding and conveying mechanism 4 can be a conveying belt. The magazine 3 containing the glass slide 33 is placed on the conveying belt, and then the magazine 3 is lifted to the appropriate height by the linear motor. Subsequently, the magazine 3 is positioned and conveyed into the magazine conveying and positioning mechanism 2 by the conveying belt. The suction cup 634 can be connected to a vacuum pump to extract the air inside the suction cup 634, thereby forming a negative pressure between the suction cup 634 and the glass slide 33 to adsorb and fix the glass slide 33. The processing of the glass slide 33 can be performed by a scriber. When the glass slide 33 is pulled to the designated position, the glass slide 33 on the track 61 is removed by the scriber for processing. After processing, the processed glass slide 33 is placed on the track 61. The suction cup 634 and the glass slide 33 are flexibly connected, so that when the suction cup 634 adsorbs the glass slide 33, the suction cup 634 and the glass slide 33 can relatively swing, allowing the glass slide 33 to change position from the frame 31 to the track 61.

[0043] The implementation scene is as follows: first, the magazine 3 containing the glass slides 33 is placed on the conveying belt, then the magazine 3 is lifted to a suitable height by the linear motor, and then the magazine 3 is positioned and conveyed into the magazine conveying positioning mechanism 2 by the conveying belt. When the glass slides 33 are discharged, the restriction of the glass slides 33 is first released by the locking mechanism 5, then a glass slide 33 is pushed out of the frame 31 by the pushing mechanism 7, then the glass slide 33 is adsorbed by the suction cup 634, and then the adsorbed glass slide 33 is pulled out of the frame 31 by the pulling driving assembly one 62, and the glass slide 33 is moved to a designated position on the track 61. The above-mentioned method is repeated to realize the discharge of the glass slides 33 one by one. Then the glass slides 33 are processed by the slide marking machine. After the processing is completed, the processed glass slides 33 are transferred to the track 61, and then the processed glass slides 33 are collected. When the glass slides 33 are collected, the processed glass slides 33 are adsorbed by the suction cup 634, and the glass slides 33 are driven by the pulling driving assembly one 62 to move towards the frame 31. When the glass slides 33 approach the magazine 3, the glass slides 33 are pushed by the push-pull block 633 to slide into the frame 31, so that the automatic discharge and collection of the glass slides 33 are realized. The glass slides 33 can be discharged one by one during the processing of the glass slides 33, and the processed glass slides 33 can be collected one by one after the processing is completed.

[0044] In the above technical solution, the current frame 31 usually has a clamping groove 32 when placing the glass slides 33, and the glass slides 33 are placed in the clamping groove 32 to avoid contact pollution between adjacent two glass slides 33. However, in order to facilitate the placement of the glass slides 33, the slot of the clamping groove 32 is usually larger than the size of the glass slide 33, which can easily cause the glass slide 33 to slide transversely in the clamping groove 32. Although the locking mechanism 5 is provided to lock the glass slide 33, the glass slide 33 needs to be in an unlocked state during the discharge process. At this time, the glass slide 33 is pushed out of the frame 31 by the pushing mechanism 7. At this time, the center line of the glass slide 33 is difficult to keep consistent with the center line of the track 61. When the glass slide 33 is adsorbed by the suction cup 634, if the contact position of the suction cup 634 and the glass slide 33 is not on the center line of the suction cup 634, the glass slide 33 is easily deviated transversely during the movement of the glass slide 33, and the edges of the glass slide 33 are easily in contact with the side of the track 61 during the movement of the glass slide 33 on the track 61, which can cause damage to the glass slide 33. Therefore, the present application provides a centering assembly 81. The centering assembly 81 clamps the extended section of the glass slide 33 pushed by the pushing mechanism 7, so that the center line of the glass slide 33 is kept consistent with the center line of the track 61. Specifically, refer to the description of the drawings Figure 13 WithFigure 14 The glass slide 33 is placed in the corresponding clamping groove 32, the feeding end of the track 61 is provided with an adjusting mechanism 8, the adjusting mechanism 8 comprises a centering assembly 81, the centering assembly 81 comprises a clamping assembly 811, the clamping assembly 811 is installed at the feeding end of the track 61, the output end of the clamping assembly 811 is provided with two slide blocks 812 which can move in opposite directions synchronously, and a plurality of guide rollers 813 are hingedly arranged on the side of the two slide blocks 812 which are close to each other.

[0045] It should be noted that the centering assembly 81 can comprise a bidirectional screw rod driven by a motor, the bidirectional screw rod is threadedly connected with the two slide blocks 812, so that the two slide blocks 812 can move in opposite directions synchronously, when the glass slide 33 is pushed out of the frame 31 by the pushing mechanism 7, the glass slide 33 is clamped by the centering assembly 81, and the edges of the glass slide 33 are in contact with the guide rollers 813, so that the frictional force during the movement of the glass slide 33 is reduced, the center line of the glass slide 33 can be kept consistent with the center line of the track 61 by clamping the glass slide 33, so that the suction cup 634 can be adsorbed on the center line of the glass slide 33 when the glass slide 33 is adsorbed by the suction cup 634, and the problem that the glass slide 33 is easily deviated during the movement and the edges of the glass slide 33 are collided and damaged by the side edges of the track 61 can be solved.

[0046] In the above technical scheme, the centering assembly 81 clamps the glass slide 33, so that the center line of the glass slide 33 is consistent with the center line of the track 61. However, the mechanical impact resistance of the thin glass slide 33 is relatively weak, and it is easy to be damaged by external force. Therefore, when stored in the magazine 3, a rubber pad needs to be arranged in the clamping groove 32 of the frame 31 to protect the glass slide 33. However, when the glass slide 33 is pushed out by the pushing mechanism 7, the rubber pad is flexible, so that the glass slide 33 is easily affected by the friction between the rubber pad and the glass slide 33 when the glass slide 33 is pushed out, which causes the glass slide 33 to slide smoothly, and the conveying assembly 22 is easily offset, which usually includes horizontal offset and vertical offset. The horizontal offset is the horizontal swing angle of the glass slide 33, which can be solved by clamping the glass slide 33 with the centering assembly 81 to ensure that the glass slide 33 is clamped. The vertical offset is the vertical swing angle of the glass slide 33, which causes the bottom of the glass slide 33 to be inclined with respect to the top of the suction cup 634. At this time, when the suction cup 634 is adsorbed, the adsorption is unstable, and even the glass slide 33 cannot be adsorbed and fixed. The centering assembly 81 cannot solve the problem of the vertical angle of the glass slide 33. Therefore, the present application also provides a leveling assembly 82, which clamps the glass slide 33 up and down to adjust the glass slide 33 to a horizontal state. For details, refer to the description of the accompanying drawings Figure 14 and Figure 15 The adjusting mechanism 8 further comprises a leveling assembly 82, and each of the two sliding seats 812 is provided with a set of leveling assemblies 82. The leveling assembly 82 comprises two coaxially hinged hinge rods 821, and the two ends of the hinge rod 821 are hingedly provided with leveling rollers 822. The sliding seat 812 is slidably provided with two sliding blocks 823 on one side. The two sliding blocks 823 and the two hinge rods 821 are provided with elastic members three 824 therebetween. The two sliding blocks 823 abut against the corresponding hinge rods 821. The clamping assembly 811 is provided with a fixed seat 825, and the fixed seat 825 is provided with two inclined grooves. The side of the two sliding blocks 823 away from each other is provided with an inclined edge, and the inclined edge of the two sliding blocks 823 abuts against the corresponding inclined groove.

[0047] It should be noted that the two hinge rods 821 are arranged in a cross configuration, and the elastic element 824 is a spring. When the centering component 81 drives the two slide blocks 812 to move closer together to clamp the glass substrate 33, the slide blocks 812 can drive the corresponding sliders 823 to move synchronously, so that the two sliders 823 on the same side can move synchronously towards the glass substrate 33. At this time, through the cooperation of the inclined groove and the inclined side, the two sliders 823 on the same side can move closer together and squeeze the corresponding elastic element 824. When the two sliders 823 move closer together, they can squeeze the corresponding spring and drive the corresponding leveling rollers 822 to move closer together, so that they clamp the glass substrate 33 from top to bottom and level the glass substrate 33. This solves the problem that the glass substrate 33 is prone to vertical displacement when it is pushed out of the frame 31, which affects the adsorption and fixation of the glass substrate 33 and the material pulling.

[0048] In the above technical solution, a rubber pad is needed to protect the thin glass substrate 33. However, because the rubber pad has a certain thickness and will deform due to the compression between the rubber pad and the glass substrate 33, the top surface of the track 61 needs to be at the same height as the bottom surface of the slot 32 to ensure that the glass substrate 33 can be located on the track 61 when it is pushed out. This avoids setting the top surface of the track 61 too high, which could cause the glass substrate 33 to contact the feeding end of the track 61 when it is pushed out, affecting the feeding process. However, because a centering component 81 and a leveling component 82 are provided, the glass substrate 33 is aligned and leveled when it is pushed out of the frame 31. The bottom surface of frame 3 is higher than the top surface of track 61. Then, the bottom of the glass carrier 33 is held by suction cup 634. During the material pulling process, to improve the accuracy of material handling, the glass carrier 33 is usually pushed out a short distance so that it is in a position that the suction cup 634 can directly pick up. Then, it is pulled out by suction cup 634, which reduces the difficulty of positioning the suction cup 634 and ensures that the suction cup 634 can accurately grasp the glass carrier 33, improving the accuracy of the material handling process. At the same time, to allow for changes in the position of the glass carrier 33 between frame 31 and track 61, the suction cup 634 is made of flexible material. So, during the process of holding and pulling the glass carrier 33, when the glass carrier 33 is completely detached from the centering component 81 and the leveling component 82, then... Figure 16As shown, at this time, the glass slide 33 will fall on one side under the action of gravity, and the glass slide 33 will collide with the surface of the track 61 on one side, thereby causing damage to the glass slide 33, affecting the processing of the glass slide 33. Therefore, the application also provides a supporting mechanism 9 for supporting the glass slide 33 when the glass slide 33 is pulled out of the centering assembly 81 and the leveling assembly 82. Specifically, refer to the accompanying drawings Figures 16 to 18 The track 61 is provided with the supporting mechanism 9, the supporting mechanism 9 comprises a sliding groove 91, the sliding groove 91 is formed in the track 61, the supporting block 92 is slidably arranged in the sliding groove 91, the bottom end of the supporting block 92 is provided with the elastic member four 93, one side of the supporting block 92 is fixedly provided with a side strip 94, the sliding seat 812 is fixedly provided with an abutting block 95, and the side strip 94 and the abutting block 95 are both provided with inclined edges, and the two inclined edges are movably abutted.

[0049] It should be noted that the supporting mechanism 9 comprises two groups, and the two abutting blocks 95 are arranged on the corresponding sliding seats 812, respectively. The elastic member four 93 is a spring. When the glass slide 33 is clamped by the centering assembly 81, the two side strips 94 can be pushed upward by the two abutting blocks 95, and the corresponding springs are stretched, so that the two supporting blocks 92 can be extended to support the glass slide 33. Thus, when the glass slide 33 completely separates from the centering assembly 81 and the leveling assembly 82, the glass slide 33 can be supported by the supporting block 92. At this time, the centering assembly 81 is driven to reset, and the two sliding seats 812 move away from each other to reset. Under the action of the two springs, the two supporting blocks 92 slowly move downward to reset, thereby slowly lowering one side of the glass slide 33, avoiding the problem of collision and damage of the glass slide 33 with the surface of the track 61.

[0050] Further, refer to the accompanying drawings Figure 3 The magazine conveying and positioning mechanism 2 comprises a positioning frame 21, which is a frame structure. The frame structure is beneficial to prevent the frame 31 from toppling. The positioning frame 21 is provided with a conveying assembly one 22, which is used to be connected with the feeding and discharging conveying mechanism 4, and position and convey the magazine 3 into the positioning frame 21. The positioning frame 21 is also provided with a guide edge strip 23, a magazine positioning assembly 24 and a reach stop assembly 25. The guide edge strip 23 is used to guide the frame 31.
