[0002] Existing electronic components generally require inspection during production, such as appearance inspection and dimensional inspection. In order to improve inspection efficiency, some single-sided appearance inspection machines and dimensional inspection machines have appeared on the market. However, these machines are all separate and occupy a large area. Electronic components need to be transported to different machines for inspection. It is impossible to integrate these machines into one device. This is time-consuming, labor-intensive, costly, and production efficiency still needs to be improved. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the above-mentioned defects in the prior art and provide a six-sided appearance coplanar inspection tape-and-reel integrated machine and its inspection method that can realize automated operations such as automatic feeding, automatic handling, 3D coplanarity detection, 2D dimension detection, automatic flipping, six-sided appearance inspection, automatic position correction and automatic unloading of products.

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, a first aspect of the present invention provides a six-sided appearance coplanarity inspection taping machine, comprising a frame, wherein the frame is provided with a feeding mechanism for feeding products to be tested, a turntable mechanism for station transition, a first 3D coplanarity inspection mechanism for inspecting the coplanarity of the first surface of the product and the product dimensions, a flipping mechanism for flipping the product 180 degrees, a second 3D coplanarity inspection mechanism for inspecting the coplanarity of the second surface of the product and the product dimensions, a top inspection mechanism for inspecting the appearance quality of the second surface of the product, a lifting turret mechanism for station transition, a suction rotation mechanism for picking up and rotating the product, a position correction mechanism for position correction of the product, a bottom inspection mechanism for inspecting the appearance quality of the first surface of the product, and a mechanism for... The system includes a side inspection mechanism for detecting the side appearance quality of a product, a feeding mechanism for unloading the finished product, and a feeding mechanism whose discharge end is located at the feeding station of a turntable mechanism. A first 3D coplanarity inspection mechanism, a flipping mechanism, a second 3D coplanarity inspection mechanism, a top inspection mechanism, and a lifting turret mechanism are arranged sequentially around the turntable mechanism along its rotation direction. The turntable mechanism has several evenly distributed fixtures. Several suction and rotating mechanisms are evenly installed on the lifting turret mechanism, which can rotate to the discharge station of the turntable mechanism. A position correction mechanism, a bottom inspection mechanism, a side inspection mechanism, and a feeding mechanism are arranged sequentially around the lifting turret mechanism along its rotation direction.

[0005] A second aspect of the present invention provides a detection method for a six-sided coplanar inspection taping machine according to the above-described technical solution, comprising the following steps:

[0006] (1) The product to be tested is conveyed to the fixture of the turntable mechanism by the feeding mechanism. The turntable mechanism drives the product to be tested to rotate and conveys it to the feeding station of the first 3D coplanarity detection mechanism, the flipping mechanism, the second 3D coplanarity detection mechanism, the top detection mechanism and the lifting turret mechanism in sequence. The first 3D coplanarity detection mechanism can detect the coplanarity of the first surface of the product and the product size. The flipping mechanism can flip the product 180 degrees. The second 3D coplanarity detection mechanism can detect the coplanarity of the second surface of the product and the product size. The top detection mechanism can detect the appearance quality of the second surface of the product.

[0007] (2) After the product is inspected by the top inspection mechanism, the suction and rotation mechanism on the lifting turret mechanism takes the product from the fixture of the turntable mechanism. The lifting turret mechanism drives the product to rotate and transports it to the position correction mechanism, the bottom inspection mechanism, the side inspection mechanism and the unloading mechanism in sequence. The position correction mechanism can correct the position of the product. The bottom inspection mechanism can inspect the appearance quality of the first surface of the product. The side inspection mechanism can inspect the appearance quality of the side surface of the product. During the inspection process of the side inspection mechanism, the suction and rotation mechanism can drive the product to rotate.

[0008] (3) After the product has been inspected by the side inspection mechanism, the unloading mechanism unloads the inspected product.

[0009] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0010] 1. The frame of this invention is equipped with a feeding mechanism, a turntable mechanism, a first 3D coplanarity detection mechanism, a flipping mechanism, a second 3D coplanarity detection mechanism, a top detection mechanism, a lifting turret mechanism for workstation switching, a suction rotation mechanism, a position correction mechanism, a bottom detection mechanism, a side detection mechanism, and a unloading mechanism. It can realize automated operations such as automatic feeding, automatic handling, 3D coplanarity detection, 2D dimension detection, automatic flipping, six-sided appearance detection, automatic position correction, and automatic unloading of products. It has a high degree of automation, stable and reliable operation, greatly improves detection efficiency, saves time and labor, and reduces production costs. Furthermore, it integrates 3D coplanarity detection, 2D dimension detection, and six-sided appearance detection into one device, which occupies a small space.

[0011] 2. This invention is compatible with tray loading and unloading and / or carrier tape unwinding and rewinding, and can realize functions such as defective product screening and tray placement, good product tape weaving or tray placement, and product unwinding retesting.

[0037] The components of this embodiment will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the feeding mechanism 2 may include a test tray placement device 21, an empty tray recycling and stacking device 22, a feeding and transferring module 23, a feeding and picking robot 24, a feeding conveyor belt 25, and an upper turntable handling robot 26. The feeding and transferring module 23 is installed at the lower end of the test tray placement device 21 and the empty tray recycling and stacking device 22. The moving part of the feeding and transferring module 23 is provided with a first tray positioning plate 231 for positioning and placing the tray. The feeding and picking robot 24 is located between the discharge end of the feeding and transferring module 23 and the inlet end of the feeding conveyor belt 25. The upper turntable handling robot 26 is located between the discharge end of the feeding conveyor belt 25 and the inlet station of the turntable mechanism 3.

[0039] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the test tray placement device 21 may include a first tray placement side plate 211, an L-shaped first tray limiting post 212, a first tray support 213, a first support advance / retreat cylinder 214, a first support block lifting cylinder 215, and a first tray lowering support block 216. The first tray placement side plate 211 is located on both sides of the loading and transferring module 23. The first tray limiting posts 212 are respectively vertically installed on both sides of the two first tray placement side plates 211. The four first tray limiting posts 212 can be located at the four corners of the test tray and limit the test tray, thereby allowing multiple... The test trays can be stacked together. The first support advance and retraction cylinder 214 is horizontally installed on the outer side of the two first tray side plates 211. The two first support advance and retraction cylinders 214 are respectively connected to the corresponding first tray support 213 and can drive the first tray support 213 to move horizontally below the test tray at the bottom. The first support block lifting cylinder 215 is located between the two first tray side plates 211. The first support block lifting cylinder 215 is connected to the first tray lowering support block 216 and can drive the first tray lowering support block 216 to move up and down.

[0040] When the test tray placement device 21 needs to place a test tray, the two first support cylinders 214 drive the first tray support 213 to move outward. At this time, the test tray at the bottom will fall onto the first tray lowering block 216. Then, the two first support cylinders 214 drive the first tray support 213 to move inward, so that the first tray support 213 supports the upper test tray. Subsequently, the first support lifting cylinder 215 drives the first tray lowering block 216 and the test tray to descend. The test tray will be placed on the first tray positioning plate 231 of the loading and transferring module 23. The loading and transferring module 23 will then transport the test tray to the workstation of the loading and unloading robot 24.

[0041] In this embodiment, the feeding and transferring module 23 can be configured as a common linear module.

[0042] like Figure 4 and Figure 5As shown, the empty tray recycling stacking device 22 may include a first stacking tray side plate 221, an L-shaped first stacking tray limiting post 222, a first elastic buckle 223, a first upper lifting cylinder 224, and a first upper lifting block 225. The first stacking tray side plate 221 is located on both sides of the feeding and transferring tray module 23. The first stacking tray limiting posts 222 are respectively vertically installed on both sides of the two first stacking tray side plates 221. The four first stacking tray limiting posts 222 can be located at the four corners of the empty tray and limit the empty tray, so that multiple empty trays can be stacked together. The first elastic buckle 223 is installed on the two first stacking tray side plates 221 and is located between the two first stacking tray limiting posts 222 of the same first stacking tray side plate 221. The first upper lifting cylinder 224 is located between the two first stacking tray side plates 221. The first upper lifting cylinder 224 is connected to the first upper lifting block 225 and can drive the first upper lifting block 225 to move up and down.

[0043] When the product to be tested on the tray is taken away by the loading and unloading robot 24, the loading and transferring module 23 can transport the empty tray to the empty tray recycling stacking device 22. The first upper cylinder 224 can drive the first upper block 225 to lift the empty tray upward, so that the empty tray is stored in the storage area formed by the combination of four first stacking limit posts 222. The first elastic buckle 223 is a one-way buckle, which can support the two sides of the empty tray to prevent the empty tray from falling.

[0044] like Figure 3 and Figure 6 As shown, the loading and unloading robot 24 may include a loading and unloading transverse module 241, several loading and unloading lifting modules 242, and several loading and unloading suction cups 243.

The loading and unloading lifting motor 2421 is mounted on the loading and unloading lifting support. The loading and unloading lifting motor 2421 can drive the loading and unloading transmission block 2424 to move up and down through the loading and unloading lifting wheel 2422 and the loading and unloading lifting belt 2423. The lower end of the loading and unloading transmission block 2424 is connected to the suction cup mounting base 2425. The loading and unloading suction cup 243 is mounted on the suction cup mounting base 2425.

[0046] Each of the feeding and picking suction cups 243 in this embodiment can be raised and lowered independently, driven by an independent feeding and picking lifting module 242.

[0047] When the loading and transfer module 23 delivers the test tray, the loading and picking suction cup 243 can pick up the test product onto the loading conveyor belt 25 under the drive of the loading and picking transverse transfer module 241 and the loading and picking lifting module 242.

The flipping rotating cylinder 54 is mounted on one vertical surface of the flipping lifting seat 53 and is connected to the flipping pneumatic clamp 55 and can drive the flipping pneumatic clamp 55 to rotate.

[0054] When the turntable mechanism 3 delivers the product, the flipping pneumatic clamp 55 can clamp the product on the fixture, and the flipping rotary cylinder 54 can drive the flipping pneumatic clamp 55 and the product to rotate 180 degrees.

The top detection camera 72 is mounted vertically downward on the top detection bracket 71, and the top detection light source 73 is located below the head end of the top detection camera 72.

[0056] When the turntable mechanism 3 delivers the product, the top inspection camera 72 can perform an appearance inspection on the surface of the flipped product.

[0057] like Figure 12 As shown, the lifting turret mechanism 8 may include a turret lifting rotary driver 81 and a turret disk 82, with the turret lifting rotary driver 81 and the turret disk 82 being connected in a transmission manner.

When performing side inspection, the suction cup rotation motor 92 can drive the turret suction cup 93 and the product to rotate.

[0059] After the product completes the top inspection, it will rotate with the turntable mechanism 3 to the turntable discharge station. At this time, the lifting turret mechanism 8 will drive a suction rotating mechanism 9 to rotate to the turntable discharge station. The turret suction cup 93 of the suction rotating mechanism 9 can suck up the product to the position correction mechanism 10.

[0060] like Figure 14As shown, the position correction mechanism 10 may include a position correction bracket 101 and a position correction clamp 102 (such as a pneumatic clamp). The position correction clamp 102 is mounted on the correction bracket 101, and the top of the position correction clamp 102 is provided with four positioning chucks 103 that are centrally symmetrically distributed.

[0061] When the lifting turret mechanism 8 transports the product to the position correction mechanism 10, the product will be placed between the four positioning chucks 103 at the top of the position correction fixture 102. The four positioning chucks 103 can correct the position of the product. After correction, the lifting turret mechanism 8 and the suction rotation mechanism 9 will then suck the product to the bottom detection mechanism 11.

[0068] When the lifting turret mechanism 8 transports the product that has undergone side inspection to the unloading station, the lifting turret mechanism 8 and the suction rotation mechanism 9 can place the product on the unloading conveyor belt 131. Then, the unloading and tray-loading robot 132 can pick up the product on the unloading conveyor belt 131 and transfer it to the empty tray of the unloading transfer module 133.

[0069] In this embodiment, the feeding and transferring module 133 can be configured as a common linear module.

[0071] When the empty tray placement device 134 needs to place an empty tray, the two second support advance and retraction cylinders 1344 respectively drive the second tray support 1343 to move outward. At this time, the empty tray at the bottom will fall onto the second tray lowering support block 1346. Then, the two second support advance and retraction cylinders 1344 respectively drive the second tray support 1343 to move inward, so that the second tray support 1343 supports the upper empty tray. Subsequently, the second support block lifting cylinder 1345 drives the second tray lowering support block 1346 and the empty tray to descend. The empty tray will be placed on the second tray positioning plate 1331 of the unloading and transfer module 133, and the unloading and transfer module 133 will transport the empty tray to the station of the unloading and tray-swinging robot 132.

The turntable mechanism drives the product to be tested to rotate and conveys it to the feeding station of the first 3D coplanarity detection mechanism, the flipping mechanism, the second 3D coplanarity detection mechanism, the top detection mechanism and the lifting turret mechanism in sequence. The first 3D coplanarity detection mechanism can detect the coplanarity of the first surface of the product and the product size. The flipping mechanism can flip the product 180 degrees. The second 3D coplanarity detection mechanism can detect the coplanarity of the second surface of the product and the product size.
