Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of precision manufacturing technology, and in particular to a flexible flight operation device and its application method. Background Technology

[0002] In precision manufacturing technologies such as microelectronics, nanotechnology, and 3D printing, direct contact transfer techniques are employed to transfer minute workpieces from a source substrate to a target substrate through physical contact. For example, some existing flight control devices use actuators to drive contact elements (such as needles) to move longitudinally and collide with the minute workpiece (such as a chip) on the source substrate, causing the workpiece to peel off and fall longitudinally onto the target substrate. During this process, the contact elements maintain the same horizontal velocity as the source substrate.

[0003] To meet the demands for high precision and high response, piezoelectric ceramics are currently used as actuators. However, the displacement generated by piezoelectric ceramics is relatively small, which can lead to insufficient contact displacement distance, preventing small workpieces from successfully landing on the target carrier. Furthermore, the contact stroke is fixed, making it difficult to adapt to diverse transfer conditions. For example, when handling small or fragile workpieces, excessive stroke or force can cause crushing or damage; when handling slightly larger workpieces, insufficient stroke or insufficient force may result in pickup failure or improper placement. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The main objective of this invention is to provide a flexible flight control device and its application method, which aims to amplify the micro-displacement of the micro-actuator to ensure sufficient displacement distance for the contact element, allowing small workpieces to land smoothly on the target carrier. Simultaneously, the longitudinal stroke of the contact element can be adjusted according to requirements, adapting to diverse transfer conditions and significantly improving the transfer success rate and yield.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention proposes a flexible flight operation device, comprising a horizontal drive mechanism, a longitudinal drive mechanism, and a contact element, wherein the horizontal drive mechanism drives the longitudinal drive mechanism to move in the horizontal direction;

[0006] The longitudinal drive mechanism includes a micro-motion actuator and a micro-motion amplification mechanism. The micro-motion actuator is connected to the micro-motion amplification mechanism. The contact element is disposed at the end of the micro-motion amplification mechanism. The micro-motion amplification mechanism transmits the micro-displacement output by the micro-motion actuator to the contact element after sequential lever amplification and bridge amplification, so as to make the contact element move in the longitudinal direction.

[0007] In the aforementioned flexible flight operation device, the micro-motion amplification mechanism includes a lever amplification structure and a bridge amplification structure. The micro-motion actuator is connected to the lever amplification structure to input micro-displacement to the lever amplification structure. The lever amplification structure is connected to the bridge amplification structure to input micro-displacement amplified by the lever to the bridge amplification structure. The contact element is disposed at the output end of the bridge amplification structure.

[0008] In the aforementioned flexible flight operation device, the micro-motion actuator can be adjusted relative to the micro-motion amplification mechanism to change the position of the force application point acting on the lever amplification structure, thereby adjusting the lever ratio of the lever amplification structure.

[0009] In the aforementioned flexible flight operation device, the horizontal drive mechanism includes a macro-motion frame, and the lever amplification structure includes a horizontally extending micro-motion beam and a longitudinally extending first lever frame and second lever frame; the micro-motion beam is rigidly connected to the macro-motion frame, the first lever frame and the second lever frame are located on both sides of the micro-motion beam in the horizontal direction, and the top ends of the first lever frame and the top ends of the second lever frame are respectively connected to the macro-motion frame via flexible hinges; the two ends of the micro-motion beam are correspondingly connected to the first lever frame and the second lever frame via flexible hinges.

[0010] The micro-motion actuator is located below the micro-motion lifting beam, and the two ends of the micro-motion actuator apply horizontal force to the first lever frame and the second lever frame respectively.

[0011] The bridge-type amplification structure is located below the micro-motion actuator, and the two ends of the bridge-type amplification structure are connected to the first lever frame and the second lever frame respectively.

[0012] In the aforementioned flexible flight operation device, a connecting plate is provided in the middle of the macro-motion frame, and a connecting seat is provided on the connecting plate. The connecting seat can be locked and its position can be adjusted longitudinally relative to the connecting plate. The micro-motion actuator is horizontally arranged on the connecting seat and can move horizontally relative to the connecting seat.

[0013] In the aforementioned flexible flight operation device, the side wall of the first lever frame is provided with a strip-shaped groove, and the output shaft of the micro-motion actuator can be locked and slidably engaged with the strip-shaped groove.

[0014] In the aforementioned flexible flight operation device, the bridge-type amplification structure includes a first connecting arm, an output arm, and a second connecting arm connected sequentially in the horizontal direction via flexible hinges. The first connecting arm and the second connecting arm are connected to the first lever frame and the second lever frame on the corresponding side via flexible hinges, and the output arm is connected to the contact member.

[0015] In the aforementioned flexible flight operation device, the micro-motion amplification mechanism has a left-right axis symmetrical structure.

[0016] The aforementioned flexible flight operation device also includes a vibration isolation frame, and the horizontal drive mechanism also includes a macro actuator. The upper and lower sides of the macro actuator frame are connected to the vibration isolation frame via flexible hinges. The macro actuator is disposed on one side inside the vibration isolation frame, and the output shaft of the macro actuator is connected to one side of the macro actuator frame in the horizontal direction.

[0017] A second aspect of the present invention discloses a method of using the aforementioned flexible flight operation device, comprising the following steps:

[0018] Step S1: The horizontal drive mechanism and the vertical drive mechanism drive the contact element to move in the horizontal and vertical directions until it reaches the operation point for transferring the workpiece. At this time, the contact element is located above the workpiece to be transferred.

[0019] Step S2: The longitudinal drive mechanism drives the contact to move downward and collide with the workpiece to be transferred, so that the workpiece to be transferred is peeled off from the source carrier and falls onto the target carrier; after the contact moves down to the preset position, the longitudinal drive mechanism drives the contact to move upward, so that the contact returns to its position above the source carrier.

[0020] The horizontal drive mechanism keeps the drive contact moving in the horizontal direction, and the horizontal movement speed of the contact is the same as the movement speed of the source carrier plate.

[0021] Step S3: Repeat steps S1-S2.

[0022] The technical solution provided by this invention may include the following beneficial effects:

[0023] In the flexible flight control device provided in this embodiment, a micro-motion amplification mechanism is used to amplify the micro-displacement of the micro-motion actuator, so that the contact element has sufficient displacement distance, allowing the small workpiece to fall smoothly into the target carrier plate. Furthermore, after the micro-motion amplification mechanism sequentially amplifies the micro-displacement of the micro-motion actuator using levers and bridges, it has a greater amplification capability, enabling the contact element to have a larger longitudinal displacement.

[0024] By adjusting the position of the micro-motion actuator, the overall amplification ratio of the micro-motion amplification mechanism can be changed, allowing the longitudinal stroke of the contact element to be adjusted according to requirements, adapting to diverse transfer conditions, and significantly improving the transfer success rate and yield.

Detailed Implementation

[0038] The technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0039] It should be noted that all directional indications (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in the embodiments of the present invention are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indication will also change accordingly.

[0040] In this invention, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "connection," "fixed," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, "fixed" can mean a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; it can mean a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can mean a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; it can mean the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components, unless otherwise explicitly limited. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this invention according to the specific circumstances.

[0041] Furthermore, in this invention, descriptions involving "first," "second," etc., are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying their relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, a feature defined with "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of those features. Additionally, the word "and / or" throughout the text means including three parallel solutions; taking "A and / or B" as an example, it includes solution A, solution B, or a solution that simultaneously satisfies A and B. Furthermore, the technical solutions of the various embodiments can be combined with each other, but this must be based on the ability of those skilled in the art to implement them. When the combination of technical solutions is contradictory or impossible to implement, it should be considered that such a combination of technical solutions does not exist and is not within the scope of protection claimed by this invention.

[0042] The following is combined Figures 1 to 4 This invention describes a flexible flight control device according to an embodiment of the present invention, which can be applied to precision manufacturing fields such as microelectronics manufacturing, nanotechnology, and 3D printing. Figure 1In the illustrated embodiment, the flexible flight control device includes a horizontal drive mechanism 100, a longitudinal drive mechanism 200, and a contact 300. The horizontal drive mechanism 100 drives the longitudinal drive mechanism 200 to move horizontally. The longitudinal drive mechanism 200 includes a micro-motion actuator 210 and a micro-motion amplification mechanism 220. The micro-motion actuator 210 is connected to the micro-motion amplification mechanism 220. The contact 300 is disposed at the end of the micro-motion amplification mechanism 220. The micro-motion amplification mechanism 220 transmits the micro-displacement output by the micro-motion actuator 210 to the contact 300 after sequential lever amplification and bridge amplification, thereby causing the contact 300 to move in the longitudinal direction. Preferably, the micro-motion actuator 210 is a piezoelectric ceramic.

[0043] In the flexible flight control device provided in this embodiment, the micro-displacement of the micro-actuator 210 is amplified by the micro-motion amplification mechanism 220, so that the contact member 300 has sufficient displacement distance, allowing the small workpiece to fall smoothly into the target carrier plate. Furthermore, after the micro-motion amplification mechanism 220 sequentially amplifies the micro-displacement of the micro-actuator 210 using lever and bridge amplification, it has a greater amplification capability, enabling the contact member 300 to have a greater longitudinal displacement.

[0044] For example, such as Figure 2 The illustrated flexible flight control device includes a micro-motion amplification mechanism 220 comprising a lever amplification structure 221 and a bridge amplification structure 222. A micro-motion actuator 210 is connected to the lever amplification structure 221 to input a micro-displacement. The lever amplification structure 221 is connected to the bridge amplification structure 222 to input a lever-amplified micro-displacement to the bridge amplification structure 222. A contact element 300 is disposed at the output end of the bridge amplification structure 222. The micro-motion amplification mechanism 220, formed by the combined lever amplification structure 221 and the bridge amplification structure 222, amplifies the micro-displacement of the micro-motion actuator 210 in multiple stages, ensuring sufficient displacement distance for the contact element 300, allowing the small workpiece to smoothly land on the target carrier.

[0045] Preferably, the micro-motion actuator 210 can be adjusted relative to the micro-motion amplification mechanism 220 to change the position of the force application point acting on the lever amplification structure 221, thereby adjusting the lever ratio of the lever amplification structure 221. In this embodiment, by adjusting the position of the micro-motion actuator 210 to change the position of the force application point acting on the lever amplification structure 221, the lever ratio of the lever amplification structure 221 can be adjusted, thereby changing the amplification ratio of the lever amplification structure 221. Since the amplification ratio of the bridge amplification structure 222 does not change due to the lever ratio or the position of the micro-motion actuator 210, the overall amplification ratio of the micro-motion amplification mechanism 220 will change according to the lever ratio of the lever amplification structure 221. This allows the longitudinal stroke of the contact member 300 to be adjusted as needed, adapting to diverse transfer conditions and significantly improving the transfer success rate and yield. For example, when dealing with small workpieces of different sizes, the overall magnification ratio of the micro-amplification mechanism 220 can be increased by adjusting the lever ratio, thereby increasing the longitudinal stroke of the contact element 300 and overcoming the defects of insufficient stroke or insufficient force of the contact element 300 leading to pickup failure or improper placement. When dealing with smaller workpieces, the overall magnification ratio of the micro-amplification mechanism 220 can be decreased by adjusting the lever ratio, thereby decreasing the longitudinal stroke of the contact element 300 and overcoming the defects of excessive longitudinal stroke or excessive force of the contact element 300 leading to crushing or damage.

[0046] For example, the horizontal drive mechanism 100 includes a macro-motion frame 110, and the lever amplification structure 221 includes a horizontally extending micro-motion beam 2211 and a longitudinally extending first lever frame 2212 and second lever frame 2213; the micro-motion beam 2211 is rigidly connected to the macro-motion frame 110, the first lever frame 2212 and the second lever frame 2213 are located on both sides of the micro-motion beam 2211 in the horizontal direction, and the top ends of the first lever frame 2212 and the second lever frame 2213 are respectively connected to the macro-motion frame via flexible hinges 400. The micro-motion lifting beam 2211 is connected at both ends to the first lever frame 2212 and the second lever frame 2213 via flexible hinges 400. The micro-motion actuator 210 is located below the micro-motion lifting beam 2211, and both ends of the micro-motion actuator 210 apply horizontal force to the first lever frame 2212 and the second lever frame 2213. The bridge amplification structure 222 is located below the micro-motion actuator 210, and both ends of the bridge amplification structure 222 are connected to the first lever frame 2212 and the second lever frame 2213. The micro-motion amplification mechanism 220 of this embodiment, which first uses lever amplification and then bridge amplification, has a simple structure, fewer impact-affected parts, and the micro-motion lifting beam 2211 can be used to withstand impacts.

[0047] Specifically, such as Figure 2As shown, the top ends of the first lever frame 2212 and the second lever frame 2213 are first connected to the macro-motion frame 110 via flexible hinges 400 to limit the movement of the top ends of the first lever frame 2212 and the second lever frame 2213, making the top ends of the first lever frame 2212 and the second lever frame 2213 fixed fulcrums. Furthermore, the end of the micro-motion beam 2211 is connected to the first lever frame 2212 and the second lever frame 2213 via flexible hinges 400, allowing the first lever frame 2212 and the second lever frame 2213 to rotate slightly around their own top ends, forming a lever amplification structure 221. When the output shaft of the micro-motion actuator 210 located on the micro-motion beam 2211 extends or retracts, both ends of the micro-motion actuator 210 exert forces on the first lever frame 2212 and the second lever frame 2213. Points in the section between the bottom of the first lever frame 2212 and the point of force application of the micro-motion actuator 210 are all amplification points. In the first lever frame 2212 and the second lever frame 2213, the leverage ratio is L1 is the distance from the point of force application of the micro-actuator 210 to its own top, and L2 is the distance from the connection point with the bridge amplification structure 222 to its own top.

[0048] It is worth noting that the micro-motion lifting beam 2211 is rigidly connected to the macro-motion frame 110, and the end of the micro-motion lifting beam 2211 is connected to the first lever frame 2212 and the second lever frame 2213 through the flexible hinge 400. This avoids the absorption of part of the amplified displacement by the micro-motion lifting beam 2211 while ensuring that the amplification ratio can be completely transmitted to the contact member 300, thereby further improving the transmission effect of the amplified displacement.

[0049] More specifically, the macro-motion frame 110 has a connecting plate 111 in the middle, and the connecting plate 111 has a connecting seat 112. The connecting seat 112 can be locked and its position can be adjusted longitudinally relative to the connecting plate 111. The micro-motion actuator 210 is horizontally disposed on the connecting seat 112 and can move horizontally relative to the connecting seat 112. Figure 2 In the optional embodiment shown, the connecting seat 112 can be a linear bearing, and the micro-actuator 210 is slidably inserted into the middle of the linear bearing. When the output shaft of the micro-actuator 210 extends and retracts, both ends of the micro-actuator 210 simultaneously apply a horizontal force to the first lever frame 2212 and the second lever frame 2213. For example, as... Figure 3As shown, the connecting plate 111 is provided with a longitudinally extending groove. The connecting seat 112 is fixed to the connecting plate 111 by bolts and nuts, that is, the bolt passes through the connecting seat 112 and then through the groove to be threadedly connected to the nut. By loosening the bolts and nuts, the connecting seat 112 is unlocked, allowing it to move within the groove, thereby adjusting the micro-motion actuator 210 and changing the force application point of the micro-motion actuator 210 on the first lever frame 2212 and the second lever frame 2213, thus changing the lever ratio. Of course, in other embodiments, the connecting plate 111 can also be provided with multiple longitudinally spaced through holes, and the bolt passes through the connecting seat 112 and the through holes to be connected to the nut. When it is necessary to adjust the longitudinal position of the connecting seat 112, the bolt can be connected to the nut through another through hole. Of course, in other optional embodiments, the connecting seat 112 can also be moved longitudinally by a linear drive mechanism to change the longitudinal position of the micro-motion actuator 210.

[0050] Optionally, the side wall of the first lever frame 2212 is provided with a strip groove 2214, and the output shaft of the micro-actuator 210 is lockably slidably engaged with the strip groove 2214. For example, as... Figure 4 As shown, the output shaft of the micro-actuator 210 can be slidably engaged with the strip groove 2214 by means of a fastening bolt and a fastening nut 2215. Specifically, the head of the fastening bolt is fixed to the end of the output shaft of the micro-actuator 210, and the stud of the fastening bolt passes through the strip groove 2214 and is threadedly engaged with the fastening nut 2215. When the fastening nut 2215 is tightened, it abuts against the outer wall of the first lever frame, and the micro-actuator 210 abuts against the inner wall of the first lever frame 2212, thus achieving a stable connection between the output shaft of the micro-actuator 210 and the first lever frame 2212. When it is necessary to adjust the position of the micro-actuator 210, the fastening nut 2215 can be loosened, allowing the micro-actuator 210 to change its position relative to the first lever frame 2212 in the longitudinal direction.

[0051] Optionally, the bridge-type amplification structure 222 includes a first connecting arm 2221, an output arm 2222, and a second connecting arm 2223 sequentially connected in a horizontal direction via a flexible hinge 400. The first connecting arm 2221 and the second connecting arm 2223 are connected to a first lever frame 2212 and a second lever frame 2213 on corresponding sides via the flexible hinge 400. The output arm 2222 is connected to the contact member 300. For example, as shown... Figure 2In the optional embodiment shown, the first connecting arm 2221, the output arm 2222, and the second connecting arm 2223 are horizontally spaced apart. The flexible hinge 400 between the first connecting arm 2221 and the first lever frame 2212 is located below the horizontal centerline l of the bridge amplification structure 222, and the flexible hinge 400 between the first connecting arm 2221 and the output arm 2222 is located above the horizontal centerline l of the bridge amplification structure 222. The flexible hinge 400 between the output arm 2222 and the second connecting arm 2223 is located above the horizontal centerline l of the bridge amplification structure 222, and the flexible hinge 400 between the second connecting arms 2223 is located below the horizontal centerline l of the bridge amplification structure 222. When the output shaft of the micro-actuator 210 extends, the micro-actuator 210 undergoes a small displacement, causing the first lever frame 2212 and the second lever frame 2213 to bulge outwards simultaneously, stretching the first connecting arm 2221 and the second connecting arm 2223. This causes the first connecting arm 2221 and the second connecting arm 2223 to rotate downwards around the connection point, thereby causing the output arm 2222 to move downwards, driving the contact member 300 to move downwards in the longitudinal direction. Conversely, when the micro-actuator 210 retracts axially, the opposite occurs. Figure 5 As shown, the bridge amplification structure 222 returns to its original state at this time.

[0052] Preferably, the micro-amplification mechanism 220 has a left-right axis symmetric structure. This enhances the structural stability of the device.

[0053] More specifically, the flexible flight control device further includes a vibration isolation frame 500, and the horizontal drive mechanism 100 further includes a macro actuator 120. The upper and lower sides of the macro actuator frame 110 are connected to the vibration isolation frame 500 via flexible hinges 400. The macro actuator 120 is disposed on one side within the vibration isolation frame 500, and the output shaft of the macro actuator 120 is connected to one side of the macro actuator frame 110 in the horizontal direction. Preferably, the macro actuator 120 can be a voice coil motor.

[0054] Specifically, such as Figure 1 In the embodiment shown, the top and bottom of the macro-motion frame 110 are connected to the vibration isolation frame 500 via two flexible hinges 400, respectively.

[0055] In one specific embodiment of the present invention, the flexible flight manipulation device operates on a flexible source substrate with an array of chips and a target substrate on which the chips are placed. During operation, both the source substrate and the target substrate maintain a constant horizontal speed. The objective of the flexible flight manipulation device is to peel the array of chips on the source substrate onto the target substrate using a contact member 300. In this embodiment, the contact member 300 is a needle.

[0056] First, the force process and dynamic equations of this flexible flight control device are described. With the center of the needle tip as the origin, the direction of motion of the source carrier plate is defined as the X-axis, and the direction of the needle's up-and-down motion is defined as the Z-axis, thus establishing the needle's motion coordinate system.

[0057] The macro actuator 120 displaces by pushing the macro frame 110. The thrust is transmitted to the micro-amplification mechanism 220. The flexible hinge 400 connecting the macro-moving frame 110 and the vibration isolation frame 500 can be considered as a spring-damped structure, with an equivalent stiffness of... Damping is Quality is The force applied by the micro-actuator 210 to the first lever frame 2212 is... The flexible hinge 400 connected to the first lever frame 2212 can be considered as a spring-damped structure, with an equivalent stiffness of [missing value]. Damping is Quality is The flexible hinge 400 connected to the second lever frame 2213 can be considered as a spring-damped structure, with an equivalent stiffness of [missing value]. Damping is Quality is The symmetrical bridge-type amplification structure 222 has the same displacement amplification ratio.

[0058] like Figure 7 As shown, the macro-motion frame 110 has the following force characteristics: it is directly subjected to the thrust of the macro-motion driver 120. The direction is to the right. The macro-moving frame 110 is connected to the vibration isolation frame 500 via a flexible hinge 400, and the macro-moving frame 110 is subjected to frictional force connected to the vibration isolation frame 500. Size is The direction is to the right. For the macro frame displacement of 110 The derivative of The coefficient of viscous friction between the vibration isolation frame 500 and the macro-motion frame 110 is given. The macro-motion frame 110 is connected to the micro-motion amplification mechanism 220 via a flexible hinge 400. The flexible hinge 400 connecting the macro-motion frame 110 and the first lever frame 2212 can be considered as a spring-damped structure, and the macro-motion frame 110 will be subjected to the spring force exerted by the first lever frame 2212. Size is The direction is to the left. The displacement of the first lever frame 2212; damping force Size is The direction is to the left. For the displacement of the first lever frame 2212 The derivative of the second lever frame 2213. The flexible hinge 400 connecting the macro-motion frame 110 and the second lever frame 2213 can be regarded as a spring-damped structure, and the macro-motion frame 110 will be subjected to the spring force of the second lever frame 2213.

The source carrier plate and the target carrier plate have the same speed. ; Let be the velocity of the needle in the X direction. The velocity of the needle in the Z direction is denoted as .

[0075] Step S2: The longitudinal drive mechanism 200 drives the contact member 300 to move downward and collide with the workpiece to be transferred, so that the workpiece to be transferred is peeled off from the source carrier plate and falls onto the target carrier plate; after the contact member 300 moves down to the preset position, the longitudinal drive mechanism 200 drives the contact member 300 to move upward, so that the contact member 300 is above the source carrier plate.
