It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this application.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1-13This invention proposes an integrated automated line for the testing and packaging of 5G small filters, comprising functional modules, a control module 114, a conveyor 800, and multiple cabinets 110 arranged sequentially. The functional modules include a feeding module 600, a dispensing and curing module 200, a cutting module 700, a performance testing module 300, a height detection module 400, and a packaging module 500, all arranged sequentially within the cabinets 110. The control module 114 is located on the cabinets 110 and is used to control the functional modules. The feeding module 600 includes a first identification mechanism 640, which identifies the orientation of a preset filter, allowing the feeding module 600 to place the filter on the dispensing module according to the set orientation. The dispensing and curing module 200 is used to apply and cure a preset adhesive to preset nuts, screws, and fasteners within the filter. The cutting module 700... The cutting module 700 includes a first flipping mechanism 720 and a cutting mechanism 750. The first flipping mechanism 720 is used to flip a preset screw in the filter to a set direction so that the cutting mechanism 750 can cut the screw. The performance testing module 300 includes a scanning mechanism 330 and a performance testing mechanism 350. The scanning mechanism 330 is used to scan and input the filter's code, and the performance testing mechanism 350 is used to test the filter's performance so that the performance testing module 300 can perform code input, performance testing, and defect screening of the filter. The height detection module 400 includes a height detection mechanism 450 and is used to detect the height of a preset connector in the filter. The conveyor 800 is used to convey the filter from the height detection module 400 to the packaging module 500. The packaging module 500 is used to package the filter in a preset carrier tape.

[0023] In this embodiment, the cabinet 110 includes a lower cabinet 111 and an upper cover 112. Functional modules are installed on the machine base 113 of the lower cabinet 111, namely, a feeding module 600, a dispensing and curing module 200, a cutting module 700, a performance testing module 300, a height detection module 400, and a packaging module 500. A control module 114 is installed on the upper cover 112. The control module 114 includes a control module and a human-machine interface. The operator inputs parameters through the human-machine interface. The control module 114 is communicatively connected to both the human-machine interface and each functional module. The control module 114 performs logical control on each functional module based on the input and sends the operating data of each functional module to the human-machine interface for display. The upper cover 112 covers each module to prevent dust. In this embodiment, the human-machine interface can be a touchscreen, and the control module 114 can be a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller). The upper cover 112 can be made of transparent material for easy observation of the operating status of each module.

[0024] Furthermore, the filter includes a filter cavity, a cover plate, a nut, a screw, a fixing member, and a connector. The cover plate is located on the upper surface and is connected to the filter cavity through the fixing member. The screw is fixed in a pre-set threaded hole in the cover plate by the nut and is used for electrical performance debugging. In this embodiment, the fixing member is a screw. A connector is press-fitted onto the side of the filter cavity and is coated with coding. The connector includes pins, which are metal pins used to complete electrical signal and power transmission. The feeding module 600 includes a first identification mechanism 640 and a first picking mechanism 630. The first identification mechanism 640 is used to identify the preset direction of the filter. The control module 114 controls the first picking mechanism 630 according to the identification result so that the first picking mechanism 630 places the filter on the dispensing module in the set direction. The dispensing and curing module 200 includes a second identification mechanism 220, a dispensing mechanism 270, and a curing mechanism 290. The second identification mechanism 220 is used to identify the direction of the filter so that the upper surface of the filter faces upward. The dispensing mechanism 270 and the curing mechanism 290 are respectively used to apply and cure adhesive to the screws, nuts, and bolts on the filter cover plate, so that the screws and nuts are not easy to fall off, and the cover plate is fixedly connected to the filter cavity. At the same time, it can prevent moisture, dust and other contaminants from entering the filter, thereby effectively improving the reliability of the filter. The cutting module 700 includes a first flipping mechanism 720 and a cutting mechanism 750. The first flipping mechanism 720 is used to flip the filter so that the preset screw in the filter faces the cutting mechanism 750, so that the cutting mechanism 750 can cut the screw. The performance testing module 300 includes a scanning mechanism 330, a performance testing mechanism 350, and a first clamping mechanism 340. The scanning mechanism 330 is used to scan and input the code of each filter, facilitating filter traceability. The performance testing mechanism 350 is used to perform SI performance testing on the filters and obtain a first test result. The SI performance of a filter refers to a series of metrics that measure the extent to which the filter can maintain the quality and original characteristics of the signal during signal transmission. The control module 114 controls the first clamping mechanism 340 to screen defective products based on the first test result, further improving the reliability of the filters. The height detection module 400 includes a height detection mechanism 450 and a second clamping mechanism 430. The height detection mechanism 450 detects the height difference between the connector pin and the plane of the filter, and determines whether the filter can reliably transmit signals based on the height, thereby obtaining a second test result. The control module 114 controls the second clamping mechanism 430 to screen defective products based on the second test result, further improving the reliability of the filters. The conveyor 800 connects the height detection module 400 and the packaging module 500. Workers are stationed on both sides of the bearing platform 210. The workers clean and visually inspect the high-performance filters to further screen out substandard products.The packaging module 500 includes a carrier tape feeding mechanism 550, a third flipping mechanism 530, a third clamping mechanism 560, a cover tape feeding mechanism 570, a heat sealing mechanism 580, and a carrier tape take-up mechanism 551. The carrier tape feeding mechanism 550 continuously feeds out carrier tape, which contains multiple sequentially arranged storage cavities. The third flipping mechanism 530 flips the filter, and the third clamping mechanism 560 clamps the flipped filter and places it into the carrier tape storage cavity. The cover tape feeding mechanism 570 continuously feeds out cover tape, which adheres to and covers the carrier tape. The heat sealing mechanism 580 heat seals the cover tape and carrier tape together, thereby encapsulating the filter. The carrier tape take-up mechanism 551 winds up the carrier tape and cover tape containing the filter, thereby achieving the winding up of the encapsulated filter.

[0025] This invention utilizes a dispensing and curing module 200 to apply and cure adhesive to pre-set screws, nuts, and fasteners in the filter, making the screws and nuts less prone to detachment and ensuring a more stable connection, thereby effectively improving the reliability of the filter. The invention also incorporates a performance testing module 300 with a scanning module and a performance testing mechanism 350. The scanning module scans and records the filter's code, facilitating subsequent traceability. The performance testing mechanism 350 performs SI performance testing on the filter and screens out defective products, further enhancing the filter's reliability. Finally, the invention uses a height detection module 400 to detect the height of the connector pins in the filter, determining whether the filter can reliably transmit signals based on the height, and screening out defective products, further improving the filter's reliability.

[0026] Please refer to Figure 2 The feeding module 600 includes a first lifting mechanism 610, a fixing mechanism 620, a first picking mechanism 630, a first identification mechanism 640, a recycling mechanism 650, a second lifting mechanism 660, and multiple material boxes 680. The material box 680 is equipped with a filter and is stacked on the first lifting mechanism 610; The first lifting mechanism 610 is used to lift the material box 680 so that the top material box 680 is always at a set first height; The fixing mechanism 620 is used to fix the top layer of the material box; The first material handling mechanism 630 is used to pick up the filter and convey it to the front of the first identification mechanism 640; The first identification mechanism 640 is used to identify the direction of the filter. If the direction of the filter is a preset positive direction, the first material picking mechanism 630 directly places the filter on the dispensing and curing module 200. If the direction of the filter is a preset negative direction, the first material picking mechanism 630 rotates the filter cavity and places it on the dispensing and curing module 200. The recycling mechanism 650 is used to transport the empty material box 680 to the second lifting mechanism 660; The second lifting mechanism 660 is used to lift the material box 680 so that the top material box 680 is always located at the set second height.

[0027] In a specific implementation, the material box 680 is equipped with a filter and is stacked on the first lifting mechanism 610. In this embodiment, the material box 680 is a blister box. The first lifting mechanism 610 includes a cylinder assembly 120. The control module 114 controls the cylinder assembly 120 to drive the material box 680 to move up and down. In a specific embodiment, the first lifting mechanism 610 raises the material box 680 as each box is reduced, so that the top material box 680 is always at a set first height. The fixing mechanism 620 is located around the first lifting mechanism 610 and includes the cylinder assembly 120 and an abutment plate. The abutment plate is installed at the output end of the cylinder assembly 120. The cylinder assembly 120 drives the abutment plate to abut against the filter to fix the top material box. The first material handling mechanism 630 picks up the filter from the material box 680 and transports it to the front of the first identification mechanism 640. In this embodiment, the first material handling mechanism 630 and the first clamping mechanism 340 have similar mechanisms and principles, and both can clamp the filter to achieve spatial horizontal movement, lifting movement and rotational movement. Since the front and back directions of the filter in the material box 680 are not distinguished, the first identification mechanism 640 is used to identify the direction of the filter. If the direction of the filter is the preset positive direction, that is, the front side of the filter is in front of the rear side, then the control module 114 controls the first material handling mechanism 630 to directly place the filter on the dispensing and curing module 200. If the direction of the filter is the preset negative direction, then the control module 114 controls the first material handling mechanism 630 to rotate the filter cavity and place it on the dispensing and curing module 200, so that the front of the filter is placed facing forward. When the filter of the top material box 680 in the first lifting mechanism 610 is completely removed, the recycling mechanism 650 picks up the empty material box 680 and places it on the second lifting mechanism 660. The second lifting mechanism 660 will gradually lower its height as the material box 680 increases, so that the top empty material box 680 is always at the second height. In this embodiment, the structure and principle of the second lifting mechanism 660 and the first lifting mechanism 610 are similar, and will not be described again.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 3-7 The dispensing and curing module 200 includes a support platform 210, a second identification mechanism 220, a first material pushing mechanism 230, a push button switch 240, a limit mechanism 250, a pushing and moving mechanism 260, a positioning mechanism 280, a dispensing mechanism 270, a dispensing controller 281, a vacuum storage tank 282, a curing mechanism 290, and a curing and conveying mechanism 291. The support platform 210 is respectively provided with a loading position 211, a waiting area 212 and a dispensing position 213; The first material handling mechanism 630 places the filter at the loading position 211. The second identification mechanism 220 and the first pushing mechanism 230 are both located to the side of the loading position 211. The push button switch 240 is electrically connected to the second identification mechanism 220 and the first pushing mechanism 230 respectively. The second identification mechanism 220 is used to identify the direction of the filter. If it is the preset positive direction, the push button switch 240 controls the first pushing mechanism 230 to push the filter from the loading position 211 to the waiting area 212; if it is the preset reverse direction, the push button switch 240 cannot control the first pushing mechanism 230 to run. The limiting mechanism 250 is located between the waiting area 212 and the dispensing position 213, and includes a first sensing mechanism 251, which is used to sense and limit the number of filters in the waiting area 212. The push-and-move mechanism 260 is movably positioned to the side of the waiting area 212, the dispensing position 213, and the curing and conveying mechanism 291. When the number of filters in the waiting area 212 reaches a preset number, the push-and-move mechanism 260 transports the filters to the dispensing position 213.

[0029] In specific implementation: A sliding groove is provided in the middle of the support platform 210. The sliding groove includes a loading position 211, a waiting area 212, and a dispensing position 213. The filter moves within the sliding groove. In this embodiment, the upper cover 112 has a placement hole above the loading position 211. The filter is manually placed at the loading position through the placement hole. Figure 4 The first pushing mechanism 230 is located to the side of the loading position 211 and includes a cylinder assembly 120 and a push rod 231. The cylinder assembly 120 includes a cylinder 121 and a telescopic rod 122. The cylinder drives the telescopic rod 122 to extend and retract along the X-axis. The output end of the telescopic rod 122 is connected to the push rod 231 and drives the push rod 231 to move between the loading position 211 and the waiting area 212. In this embodiment, the straight line direction of the support platform 210 is the X-axis direction, the direction perpendicular to the support platform 210 and the support platform 210 is the Y-axis direction, and the direction perpendicular to the machine platform 113 is the Z-axis direction.

[0030] Furthermore, the second identification mechanism 220 is located to the side of the feeding position 211 and is used to identify the direction of the filter. In this embodiment, the second identification mechanism 220 adopts laser identification. The filter includes a filter cavity and a cover plate, with the cover plate being the upper surface. The push button switch 240 is electrically connected to the second identification mechanism 220 and the first pushing mechanism 230 respectively. The push button switch 240 can control the first pushing mechanism 230 according to the identification result of the second identification mechanism 220. If the direction of the filter is the preset positive direction, that is, when the upper surface of the filter is facing upward, the push button switch 240 controls the first pushing mechanism 230 to push the filter from the loading position 211 to the waiting area 212. If the direction of the filter is the preset negative direction, that is, when the upper surface of the filter is not facing upward, the push button switch 240 cannot control the operation of the first pushing mechanism 230. In this embodiment, if the upper surface of the filter is facing upward, after manually pressing the push button switch 240, the first pushing mechanism 230 pushes the filter from the loading position 211 to the waiting area 212. If the upper surface of the filter is not facing upward, after manually pressing the push button switch 240, the first pushing mechanism 230 does not respond, which means that the upper surface of the filter is not facing upward, and the direction of the filter needs to be readjusted.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figure 5 The diagram shows a perspective view of the limiting mechanism 250. The limiting mechanism 250 includes a cylinder assembly 120, a first sensing mechanism 251, and a mounting bracket 252. The mounting bracket 252 is mounted on the machine base 113 and located between the waiting area 212 and the dispensing position 213. The sensing mechanism is mounted in the middle of the mounting bracket 252, and the cylinder assembly 120 is mounted at the end of the mounting bracket 252. The first sensing mechanism 251 is electrically connected to both the cylinder assembly 120 and the pushing and moving mechanism 260. The first sensing mechanism 251 is used to sense the number of filters in the waiting area 212. In the initial state, the telescopic rod 122 in the cylinder assembly 120 descends to prevent the filters from entering the dispensing position 213. When the outermost end of the filter reaches the first sensing mechanism 251, the number of filters in the waiting area 212 reaches a preset number. The telescopic rod 122 in the cylinder assembly 120 rises, and the pushing and moving mechanism 260 transports the filter from the waiting area 212 to the dispensing position 213. In this embodiment, the sensing mechanisms involved in this invention can all adopt infrared sensing or laser sensing, which are determined according to the requirements and will not be repeated. When the number of filters in the waiting area 212 reaches five pieces, the pushing and moving mechanism 260 performs one transport. Here, PCS is an abbreviation for pieces, used as a plural unit of measurement to represent the number of units such as "pieces", "units", or "sets".

[0032] Furthermore, such as Figure 6The diagram shows a perspective view of the push-and-place mechanism 260. The push-and-place mechanism 260 includes an X-axis linear module 131, a cylinder assembly 120, and a push plate 261. The X-axis linear module 131 is arranged parallel to the side of the support platform 210 and spans the entire support platform 210. The cylinder assembly 120 is mounted on the X-axis linear module 131, and the extension / retraction direction of the telescopic rod 122 is perpendicular to the support platform 210. The push plate 261 is mounted on the output end of the telescopic rod 122 and is parallel to the support platform 210. The cylinder assembly 120 drives the push plate 261 to press the filter, and the X-axis linear module 131 drives the cylinder assembly 120 to transport the filter from the waiting area 212 to the dispensing position 213. In this embodiment, the linear module 130 can be commonly divided into electric linear modules and pneumatic linear modules according to the driving method. The common transmission method for electric linear modules is ball screw transmission. At this point, the linear module 130 includes a motor, a lead screw, and a slider. The motor drives the lead screw to rotate, and the slider is mounted on the lead screw. The slider contains ball bearings, which convert the rotational motion of the lead screw into linear motion of the slider along the lead screw direction. The advantages are high precision, high rigidity, and strong load capacity. The pneumatic linear module refers to a module that uses a solenoid valve to control compressed air to enter different chambers of the cylinder 121, directly pushing the piston rod to perform linear motion or directly pushing the slider to perform linear motion. It has the advantages of simple structure and fast response. This invention includes multiple linear modules 130. The number and direction of the linear modules 130 depend on which dimensions of motion need to be achieved. The type of linear module 130 is selected according to the requirements and is not limited. The specific structure of the linear module 130 will not be repeated. Similarly, other modules involved in this invention can also use either electric or pneumatic drive methods, without limitation.

[0033] Please refer to Figures 3-7 The positioning mechanism 280 is located to the side of the dispensing position 213 and is used to fix the filter to the dispensing position 213. The dispensing mechanism 270 is movably positioned above the dispensing position 213 and includes multiple linear modules 130 and multiple dispensing nozzles 271. The dispensing nozzles 271 are installed at the output end of the linear modules 130, and the linear modules 130 cooperate to drive the dispensing nozzles 271 to move horizontally and vertically. Vacuum storage container 282 is used for vacuum storage of colloids and provides colloids to dispensing nozzle 271; The dispensing controller 281 is used to control the dispensing volume and dispensing mode of the dispensing nozzle 271; The filter includes a filter cavity, a cover plate, a nut, a screw, and a fastener. The cover plate is connected to the filter cavity through the fastener. The screw is fixed in the pre-set threaded hole of the cover plate by the nut and is used for electrical performance debugging. The dispensing nozzle 271 is used to apply adhesive to the nut, screw, and fastener. After the dispensing mechanism 270 completes the dispensing of the filter, the pushing and moving mechanism 260 transports the filter to the curing and conveying mechanism 291. The curing mechanism 290 covers the curing and conveying mechanism 291 and is used to cure the colloid so that the screw and nut are not easy to fall off, and the cover plate is fixedly connected to the filter cavity.

[0034] In practical implementation: the positioning mechanism 280 includes a cylinder assembly 120 and a positioning plate. The cylinder assembly 120 is vertically disposed to the side of the dispensing position 213, and its output end is connected to the positioning plate. The cylinder assembly 120 drives the positioning plate to abut against the filter, thereby fixing the filter at the dispensing position 213. Figure 7 The figure shown is a perspective view of the dispensing mechanism 270. The dispensing mechanism 270 includes multiple linear modules 130 and multiple dispensing nozzles 271. In this embodiment, the dispensing mechanism 270 includes an X-axis linear module 131, a Y-axis linear module 132 and a Z-axis linear module 133. The Y-axis linear module 132 is mounted on the X-axis linear module 131, and the Z-axis linear module 133 is mounted on the Y-axis linear module 132. There are five dispensing nozzles 271, which are evenly arranged and mounted on the output end of the Z-axis linear module 133. The linear modules cooperate to drive the dispensing nozzles 271 to perform horizontal and vertical movements. Vacuum storage tank 282 is used to vacuum store the colloid and supply the colloid to dispensing nozzle 271; dispensing controller 281 is electrically connected to dispensing nozzle 271 and is used to control the dispensing volume and dispensing mode of dispensing nozzle 271; dispensing nozzle 271 is used to apply colloid to nuts, screws, and fasteners. In this embodiment, the cover plate in the filter is fixedly connected to the filter cavity by fasteners, which are screws. Dispensing nozzle 271 dispenses colloid to the same position on each of the five filters. After dispensing is completed, pushing and moving mechanism 260 transports the filter to curing conveying mechanism 291. Curing mechanism 290 covers curing conveying mechanism 291 and is used to cure the colloid. In this embodiment, curing mechanism 290 uses LED lights to cure the colloid, making it less likely for screws and nuts to fall off, which is beneficial to the stability of electrical performance debugging. The connection between the fastener and the cover plate is tighter and effectively prevents moisture, dust, and other contaminants from entering the filter, thereby improving the reliability of the filter.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 8 and Figure 9 The cutting module 700 includes a first conveying mechanism 710, a stopping mechanism 712, a second pushing mechanism 713, a pushing mechanism 714, a first flipping mechanism 720, a second picking mechanism 730, a translation mechanism 740, a cutting mechanism 750, a first unloading mechanism 760, a second flipping mechanism 770, a second unloading mechanism 780, and a second conveying mechanism 790.

The first flipping mechanism 720 includes multiple sets of fixing fixtures 721 and flipping modules 722. Each set of fixing fixtures 721 can hold and fix five filters. The control component controls the flipping module 722 to drive the fixing fixtures 721 to flip until the plane containing the screw in the filter faces downwards. The second material handling mechanism 730 includes multiple linear modules and multiple clamping modules 342. The linear modules drive the clamping modules 342 to clamp five filters at a time and transport the filters from the first flipping mechanism 720 to the fixing fixtures 721 of the translation mechanism 740. The translation mechanism 740 moves above the cutting mechanism 750 and drives the filters to pass through the cutting mechanism 750 at a constant speed. The cutting mechanism 750 includes a drive component and a saw blade. The drive component drives the saw blade to cut the screw in the filter.

The first gripping mechanism 340 is movably disposed above the first material picking position 311, the scanning mechanism 330, the performance testing mechanism 350, the second conveying mechanism 360, and the first product temporary storage mechanism 370; When the filter reaches the first picking position 311, the first gripping mechanism 340 grips the filter and conveys it to the scanning mechanism 330, which is used to scan and input the filter's code. When the scanning mechanism 330 completes the encoding input, the first gripping mechanism 340 transports the filter to the performance testing mechanism 350; The performance testing mechanism 350 is used to perform performance testing on the filter and obtain the first test result; The control module 114 controls the first gripping mechanism 340 according to the first detection result. If the first detection result is unqualified, the control module 114 controls the first gripping mechanism 340 to transport the filter to the first temporary storage mechanism 370. If the first detection result is qualified, the control module 114 controls the first gripping mechanism 340 to transport the filter to the second conveying mechanism 360.

[0039] In specific implementation: the second conveying mechanism 790 conveys multiple filters to the first conveying mechanism 310, which is used to convey the filters to the preset first picking position 311; the separating mechanism 312 is used to separate the multiple filters to ensure that only one filter flows into the first picking position 311 each time; the second sensing mechanism 320 is located to the side of the first picking position 311 and is used to sense whether the filter has reached the first picking position 311.

The driving component adopts a servo motor. The filter is placed on the conveyor belt, and the driving component drives the conveyor belt to convey the filter. This will not be described again.

[0040] Furthermore, such as Figure 11 The diagram shows a perspective view of the first clamping mechanism 340. The first clamping mechanism 340 includes a clamping module 342, a rotating module 341, and multiple linear modules. In this embodiment, the first clamping mechanism 340 includes a Z-axis linear module 133, an X-axis linear module 131, and two Y-axis linear modules 132. The two Y-axis linear modules 132 are respectively perpendicularly spanning above the first conveying mechanism 310 and the second conveying mechanism 360. The two ends of the X-axis linear module 131 are respectively connected to the Y-axis linear modules 132. The Z-axis linear module 133 is mounted on the X-axis linear module 131.

[0041] Furthermore, when the filter reaches the first pick-up position 311, the first clamping mechanism 340 clamps the filter and transports it to the scanning mechanism 330. The scanning mechanism 330 is located to the side of the first conveying mechanism 310 and is used to scan and input the filter's code, which is then sent to the monitoring system. In this embodiment, the scanning mechanism 330 uses a barcode scanner. The performance testing mechanism includes a clamping fixture 351 and a network analyzer 352. After the scanning mechanism 330 completes the code input for the filter, the first clamping mechanism 340 transports the filter to the clamping fixture 351. The clamping fixture 351 clamps the filter, and the network analyzer 352 performs performance testing on the filter and obtains the first test result. In this embodiment, the clamping fixture 351 clamps four filters at a time, and the network analyzer 352 is an ATE (Automated Test Equipment). The automated testing equipment (equipment) tests the SI (Signal Integrity) performance of four filters each time. The SI performance of a filter refers to a series of metrics measuring the extent to which it maintains the quality and original characteristics of the signal during transmission. The control module 114 controls the first gripping mechanism 340 based on the first test result. If the first test result is unqualified, the control module 114 controls the first gripping mechanism 340 to transport the filter to the first temporary storage mechanism 370. If the first test result is qualified, the control module 114 controls the first gripping mechanism 340 to transport the filter to the second conveying mechanism 360. The performance testing mechanism 350 enables filter encoding, performance testing, and defective product screening, facilitating traceability of each filter and further improving filter reliability.

[0042] Please refer to Figure 12 The height detection mechanism 450 includes a third conveying mechanism 410, a third sensing mechanism 420, a second gripping mechanism 430, a positioning platform 440, a height detection mechanism 450, a fourth conveying mechanism 460, and a second product storage mechanism 470.

[0044] Furthermore, the positioning platform 440 is provided with a through hole 441, which is located directly in front of the height detection mechanism 450. When the filter reaches the second picking position 411, the second clamping mechanism 430 transports the filter to the positioning platform 440, and positions the connector in the filter towards the height detection mechanism 450 through the through hole 441. The connector includes pins, which are metal pins used to complete electrical signal and power transmission. The height detection mechanism 450 uses a D-profile meter to detect the height difference between the scanning pin and the plane it is on. The height difference is used to determine whether the filter can reliably transmit signals, thus obtaining a second detection result. If the second detection result is unqualified, the control module 114 controls the second clamping mechanism to transport the filter to the second defective temporary storage mechanism 470; if the second detection result is qualified, the control module 114 controls the second clamping mechanism to transport the filter to the fourth conveying mechanism 460. By using the height detection mechanism 450 to detect the pin height of the filter and identify defective products, the reliability of the filter is further improved.

The carrier tape has multiple storage cavities arranged in sequence. The carrier tape feeding mechanism 550 and the carrier tape receiving mechanism 551 rotate synchronously in opposite directions so that the storage cavities are sequentially located at the packaging heat-sealing position 541. The third clamping mechanism 560 is movably disposed above the third flipping mechanism 530 and the packaging heat sealing position 541, and is used to clamp the filter on the third flipping mechanism 530 and place it in the storage cavity. The cover tape feeding mechanism 570 is located above the stretching platform 540 and is used to install the cover tape; One end of the cover tape is guided and connected to the carrier tape via the second rubber roller 592; The pressing mechanism 590 moves up and down relative to the carrier belt and is used to install the cover tape so that the cover tape fits and covers the carrier belt; The heat sealing mechanism 580 is located on both sides of the heat sealing position 541 of the packaging and is used to heat the edge of the carrier tape and the cover tape to seal the carrier tape and the cover tape. The carrier tape take-up mechanism 551 rotates to take up the carrier tape and cover tape containing the filter.

[0046] In specific implementation: the conveyor 800 connects the fourth conveyor mechanism 460 and the fifth conveyor mechanism 510, and is used to transfer the filter from the fourth conveyor mechanism 460 to the fifth conveyor mechanism 510. In this embodiment, one operator is responsible for removing the good filters after height detection, cleaning them, and placing them on the conveyor belt of the conveyor 800. Five operators are arranged on both sides of the conveyor 800 to inspect the appearance of the filters and screen out the filters with substandard appearance.

The clamping module 342 is installed at the output end of the rotating module 341. When the filter reaches the third picking position 511, the third flipping mechanism 530 clamps the filter and flips it by a set angle.
