[0038] This invention proposes an automatic measurement module for the level of the flux platform in a chip mounting equipment, used in the flux platform level detection process. This invention does not limit the type of flux platform, but the structure of the tool changing platform 1 and the tool removal module 2 is particularly suitable for detecting the flux platform before chip mounting.
[0039] In general, the automatic horizontal measurement module for the flux platform of the chip mounting equipment proposed in this invention mainly includes: a tool changing platform 2 and a tool removal module 2. (See also...) Figure 1 It shows the arrangement of the tool changing platform 2 and the tool disassembly module 2.
[0040] The detection logic of the automatic measurement module for flux platform level in the chip mounting equipment proposed in this invention includes:
[0041] S1: The equipment pauses the chip placement operation, and the robotic arm moves the chip adsorption accessory 14 to directly above the blade removal module 2.
[0042] S2: The robotic arm pushes one of the two rows of chip adsorption accessories 14 into the accessory placement hole 24;
[0043] S3: In the disassembly module 2, the cylinder 26 pushes the disassembly push plate 23 to move back and forth along the guide rail 21, applying external force to the chip adsorption accessory 14 in the accessory placement hole 24 to complete the disassembly of the chip adsorption accessory 14.
[0044] S4: The robotic arm moves above the tool changing platform 1 and clamps the horizontal test accessory 131 corresponding to the required chip;
[0045] S5: The robotic arm moves above the flux platform 3 and pushes the horizontal test accessory 131 downward to contact the four corner end faces of the flux platform 3 to confirm the horizontality;
[0046] S6: The detection information is displayed synchronously on the equipment control terminal for easy personnel status confirmation.
[0047] The automatic horizontal measurement module for the flux platform of the chip mounting equipment proposed in this invention can also change tools when different chips need to be mounted. During mechanical preparation, the second set of chip adsorption accessories 14 to be replaced is placed on one of the accessory placement holes 24 in the tool changing platform 1 and the tool removal module 2. When the processing batch changes and tool change is required, the operation logic is as follows:
[0048] S1: The robotic arm moves the first set of chip adsorption accessories 14 to the top of the disassembly module 2, and pushes one row of chip adsorption accessories 14 into the empty accessory placement hole 24 for disassembly.
[0049] S2: The second set of chip adsorption accessories 14 on the robotic arm clamping and disassembly push plate 23;
[0050] S3: The robotic arm pushes the first set of chip adsorption accessories 14 in another row to the replacement accessory placement hole 24 for disassembly;
[0051] S4: The robotic arm moves above the tool changing platform 1 to grab the remaining second set of chip adsorption accessories 14 on the tool changing platform 1, and then performs a horizontal detection.
[0052] It should be noted that the accessory placement holes 24 in the tool removal module 2 have one more hole per row than the loading position per row on the robotic arm; otherwise, horizontal detection cannot be performed after tool replacement.
[0053] The aforementioned tool changing platform 1 is bolted to the workbench of the flip-chip placement equipment. A horizontal testing accessory 131 and a chip suction accessory 14 are mounted on the tool changing platform 1. Gripper holes 11 are evenly spaced on one side of the tool changing platform 1, and chip suction nozzle holes 12 are located on the other side. A support rod 17 is centrally located between the horizontal testing accessory 131 and the chip suction accessory 14. A robotic arm handle 15 is integrally mounted on the top of the support rod 17, and a platform placement sleeve 16 is integrally mounted on the outer side of the middle section of the support rod 17. A detection head 131 is integrally mounted on the bottom of the support rod 17 within the horizontal testing accessory 131. The chip suction accessory... In component 14, a vacuum nozzle 141 is provided at the bottom of the support rod 17. An airflow channel is provided in the center of the support rod 17 in the chip adsorption accessory 14. The outer diameters of the robotic arm gripping handle 15 and the platform placement sleeve 16 in the horizontal test accessory 131 and the chip adsorption accessory 14 are the same. It should be noted that the horizontal test accessory 131 and the chip adsorption accessory 14 adopt a standardized interface design. They can be directly gripped by the robotic arm without any adjustment or by any accessory below the tool removal module 2, just like the automatic tool changing system of a machining center. It should also be noted that the bottom is a conical detection head, and the curvature of its arc detection surface matches the size of the chip to be mounted.
[0054] The aforementioned tool removal module 2 is located on one side of the tool changing platform 1. This module is the core for realizing the part replacement action. It mainly consists of a U-shaped guide rail 21, an L-shaped tool removal push plate 23, and a cylinder 26. The guide rail 21 has guide strips 22 integrally installed on the inner sidewalls of both sides. In addition to supporting and guiding the tool removal push plate 23, the guide strips 22 also form a clearance space for the parts at the bottom. The top of the tool removal push plate 23 is engaged with the guide rail 21 and abuts against the guide strips 22. One side of the bottom of the tool removal push plate 23 abuts against the front or right sidewall of the guide rail 21. The tool removal push plate 23 has part placement holes 24 spaced apart. The top of the part placement holes 24 has a part positioning groove 25. The cylinder 26 is located on one side of the guide rail 21. A cylinder rod 261 passes through the center of the cylinder 26. A push block 262 is integrally installed on the top of the cylinder rod 261. The push block 262 is connected to the tool removal push plate 23 by bolts.
[0055] The flux platform 3 is equipped with a flux carrier box 31 embedded in the center. The flux platform 3 is an existing flux dipping system device.
[0056] The above embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and effects of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention. Any person skilled in the art can modify or alter the above embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or alterations made by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical concept disclosed in the present invention should still be covered by the claims of the present invention.
