Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of integrated circuit manufacturing equipment, and in particular to a tooling conveyor line based on temporary storage and replaceable tooling. Background Art
[0002] With the development of the times, integrated circuits are usually required in the manufacturing of new energy vehicles. A variety of electrical components need to be integrated on the integrated circuits, such as relays and other electronic components. However, since electronic components are small and numerous, tooling is usually used in the assembly process. Relays and other components can be assembled in sequence in the tooling, and then transported to different processes in sequence according to the process. In order to further optimize the production process, the storage, transportation and return flow management of tooling are crucial. Reasonable storage, transportation and return flow of tooling can improve the utilization rate of tooling, and in order to meet different production needs, tooling of different sizes needs to be set up. Therefore, when transporting tooling, it is necessary to replace the appropriate tooling as needed. If, during the manufacturing process, the assembly and transportation of tooling for electronic components of different sizes are each performed using separate tooling without considering the replacement and recycling of tooling, the use of a large number of tooling in the entire manufacturing process will result in a more complicated production process.
[0003] For example, the patent document with patent application number 202410310503.2 and announcement date 2024.04.19 discloses a circuit board sequential temporary storage device, which relates to the field of circuit board production and includes: a frame, a conveyor line, an upper lifting and transverse moving mechanism, a lower lifting and transverse moving mechanism, and a board storage lifting mechanism. The conveyor line includes a conveyor bracket and a plurality of conveyor rollers, and an accommodating gap is provided between adjacent conveyor rollers. The upper lifting and transverse moving mechanism includes a first Y-axis motion mechanism, a first Z-axis motion mechanism and a first material picking arm, and the lower lifting and transverse moving mechanism includes a second Y-axis motion mechanism, a second Z-axis motion mechanism and a second material picking arm. Both the first material picking arm and the second material picking arm can be accommodated within the accommodating gap. During normal conveying, the conveyor line can accommodate material boards while releasing temporarily stored material boards, so that the conveyor line can collect and release boards without stopping the machine.
[0004] The above documents only use the rack, conveyor line and upper lifting and transverse movement mechanism to load the circuit board and place it into the temporary storage device for temporary storage, but cannot realize the recovery of the carrier and workpiece. At the same time, the recovered workpiece can be re-input or output, thereby improving the utilization rate of the workpiece and saving production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

The first connecting plate provides a connection position for the first fixed plate. According to the width of the tooling, a first fixed plate can be provided on the first connecting plate at the corresponding position, so that the first fixed plate is in contact with the tooling, which can enhance the stability of transportation, and when the tooling is not needed to be conveyed, the first fixed plate can limit the tooling to prevent the first fixed plate from moving due to external forces and other factors.
[0016] Furthermore, the tooling reflow conveyor line includes a second lifting assembly, which includes a second lifting motor, a second lifting rod, a second lifting slider, a second guide rod and a second lifting plate.

The second lifting component in the tooling return conveyor line can move the third conveyor line to be flush with the fourth conveyor line height. Before the carrier returns to the tooling return conveyor line, the carrier will be marked whether it needs to be reworked. When the carrier is marked as not requiring rework, the carrier moves to the fourth conveyor line through the third conveyor line, and then flows out of the second workbench through the fourth conveyor line. When the carrier is marked as requiring rework, the carrier moving frame is lifted by the carrier jacking mechanism, so that the height of the fifth conveyor line on the carrier moving frame is higher than the height of the fourth conveyor line.

[0056] (3) Vehicle recycling and repair include: 31) The workpiece return conveyor line 31 is aligned with the output end of the inspection process, and the carrier with the workpiece placed thereon after inspection is conveyed to the workpiece return conveyor line, and the carrier is provided with a pass or fail mark. In this embodiment, the inspection process detects whether the carrier is qualified or failed by using an existing image detection device, which is a prior art and will not be repeated here. If the carrier output to the workpiece return conveyor line 31 is a failed product, the process proceeds to step 32; otherwise, the process proceeds to step 33. 32) The fifth conveyor line 3622 is lifted by the carrier lifting cylinder and is made higher than the fourth conveyor line 3611. The workpiece return conveyor is aligned with the fifth conveyor line 3622. The carrier and workpiece are then transported to the carrier rework conveying area 370 along the transverse direction of the second workbench 3 via the fifth conveyor line 3622. 33) Align the workpiece return conveyor line 31 with the fourth conveyor line 3611, and grab the workpiece on the carrier through the two-dimensional mobile gripper to the workpiece output line to enter the workpiece temporary storage or workpiece loading step; after removing the workpiece, the carrier is output along the fourth conveyor line 3611 for recycling.
[0057] The working principle of the present invention: A temporary storage cabinet 2 is arranged on one side of the transverse lifting frame 1, and a second conveyor line 21 is arranged in the temporary storage cabinet 2. The second conveyor line 21 is used to convey tooling, and several second conveyor lines 21 are arranged in the temporary storage cabinet 2. Tooling of different sizes can be placed in different second conveyor lines 21. When several tooling are placed in the temporary storage cabinet 2, the transverse lifting workbench 11 can be moved vertically and horizontally in the transverse lifting frame 1. By placing tooling of different sizes in different second conveyor lines 21, the transverse lifting workbench 11 can be docked with the second conveyor lines 21 at different positions to convey the tooling.
[0058] The tooling output line 34 and the tooling input line 33 have the same working principle as the second conveying line 21 , and both use a drive motor to drive the chain to rotate, thereby completing the conveyance of the tooling.
[0059] The length direction of the second workbench 3 is defined as the X-axis direction, the direction perpendicular to the X-axis direction on the horizontal plane is defined as the Y-axis direction, and the direction perpendicular to the plane where the XY axes are located is defined as the Z-axis direction. A two-dimensional mobile module and a rotating motor are provided on the two-dimensional mobile manipulator 32. The two-dimensional mobile module enables the two-dimensional mobile manipulator 32 to move along the X-axis and the Z-axis, and the rotating motor enables the two-dimensional mobile manipulator 32 to rotate on the horizontal plane relative to the second workbench 3.
[0060] After the transverse lifting workbench 11 inputs the tooling from the temporary storage cabinet 2, it transports the tooling to the tooling input line 33. The tooling on the tooling input line 33 is moved to the tooling output line 34 by the three-dimensional mobile manipulator on the second workbench 3. The tooling output line 34 then moves the tooling to the next process. After the tooling is removed, the carrier is output through the tooling input line 33. In other processes, the tooling is placed on the carrier. The tooling return conveyor line 31 receives the carriers and tooling returned from other processes. The tooling can be moved to the tooling input line 33 through the two-dimensional mobile manipulator 32. The carrier is moved to the carrier repair conveyor line 36 through the tooling return conveyor line 31.
