Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of sensor technology, and in particular to an assembly apparatus for a skeleton chip assembly. Background Technology
[0002] Wheel speed sensors are core components of automotive anti-lock braking systems (ABS) and vehicle stability control systems. A wheel speed sensor mainly consists of a frame, two chips, and a bushing. The two chips are fixed to the frame, and their pins are soldered to the frame's pins to form a frame-chip assembly. This assembly, along with the bushing, is then injection molded into a mold to create the finished wheel speed sensor.
[0003] Currently, chip and frame assembly is primarily done manually. The specific assembly method is as follows: Since the chips arrive in paper tape and have relatively long leads, before assembly, the chips must be manually removed from the paper tape. Two chips are then placed on a cutting device to cut the leads to the appropriate length. Next, the two chips are manually placed into the mounting slots of the frame, and the assembly quality is visually inspected. The frame and chips are then taken together to a soldering machine for soldering to form the frame-chip assembly. After soldering, the soldering quality is visually inspected, and if the soldering quality is acceptable, the frame-chip assembly is manually placed into a material tray.
[0004] Because the chips are small and difficult to handle, the current assembly methods involve time-consuming, inefficient, and labor-intensive processes such as chip pin cutting, chip and frame assembly, and soldering. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to solve the problems of long assembly time, low efficiency, and high labor intensity caused by the small size and difficulty in handling existing wheel speed sensor frames and chips. This invention provides an assembly device for a frame-chip assembly that can automate frame loading, chip loading, mechanical assembly, and welding, effectively solving the problem of inconvenient chip handling during manual operation. This shortens assembly time, improves assembly efficiency, and reduces the labor intensity of workers.
[0006] To address the aforementioned problems, embodiments of the present invention disclose an assembly device for a skeleton chip assembly. The skeleton has two chip mounting slots for mounting chips. The assembly device includes a worktable, a turntable, and a skeleton feeding module, a chip feeding module, a pressing module arranged around the turntable, as well as a third moving mechanism and a welding module disposed on the worktable.
[0007] The workbench is equipped with the first workstation, the second workstation, the third workstation, the fourth workstation, and the fifth workstation in sequence;
[0008] The turntable is rotatably connected above the worktable. The turntable has at least one contouring fixture with a skeleton receiving groove. The shape of the skeleton receiving groove matches the shape of the skeleton. The turntable can rotate relative to the worktable, driving the contouring fixture to switch between the first and fourth workstations, so that the contouring fixture can move to the bottom of the skeleton feeding module, the chip feeding module and the pressing module respectively.
[0009] The skeleton feeding module includes a first moving mechanism for conveying the skeleton to the contouring tooling located below it.
[0010] The chip feeding module includes a second moving mechanism that can move along a first direction and is used to feed two chips to the contouring fixture located below it.
[0011] The pressing module includes a pressing head that can move vertically and is used to apply pressure to two chips in a contouring fixture located below it, so as to press the two chips into the chip mounting slot.
[0012] The third moving mechanism is located between the fourth and fifth workstations. The third moving mechanism can move along the first direction to move the skeleton and two chips from the fourth workstation to the fifth workstation.
[0013] The welding module, located at the fifth workstation, includes a welding machine positioned above the worktable. The welding machine is used to weld the skeleton and two chips located below it to form a skeleton-chip assembly.
[0014] The assembly process of the skeleton chip assembly disclosed in this application is as follows: The skeleton feeding module delivers the skeleton to the contouring fixture located at the first station; then the turntable rotates, driving the contouring fixture to the second station, where the chip feeding module delivers two chips to the contouring fixture located at the second station; then the turntable rotates again, driving the contouring fixture to the third station, where the pressing module presses the two chips in the contouring fixture located at the third station into the two chip mounting slots of the skeleton, realizing the mechanical assembly of the skeleton and the two chips; then the turntable continues to rotate, driving the contouring fixture to the fourth station, so that the third moving mechanism can move the skeleton and the two chips at the fourth station to the fifth station; at the fifth station, the welding machine welds the pins of the skeleton and the two chips located below it to realize the conductive connection between the skeleton and the chips, finally forming the skeleton chip assembly.
[0015] By adopting the above technical solution, the chip feeding module automatically feeds the chip to the frame, which can solve the problem of the chip being small and difficult to handle. In addition, the frame feeding, chip feeding, mechanical assembly of the frame and chip, and welding are all automated.

The third moving mechanism 600 moves the mechanically assembled skeleton 10 and two chips 20 from the fourth station to the fifth station. At the fifth station, the welding machine 710 welds the pins of the skeleton 10 and the pins of the two chips 20 located below it to achieve a conductive connection between the skeleton 10 and the chips 20, ultimately forming a skeleton-chip assembly.
[0105] By adopting the above technical solution, the chip loading module 400 automatically feeds two chips 20 to the frame 10, thereby solving the problem that the chips 20 are small and difficult to handle. In addition, the processes of loading the frame 10, loading the chips 20, mechanically assembling the frame 10 and the chips 20, and soldering the pins of the frame 10 and the chips 20 are all automated. Compared with manual assembly, this can shorten the assembly time, improve the assembly efficiency, and reduce the labor intensity of workers.
[0106] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, reference is made to... Figure 2 The workbench 100 also has a sixth workstation (such as...) Figure 2 and Figure 3 (As shown in area F), the sixth station is located downstream of the fifth station. (Reference) Figure 2The assembly device also includes a material unloading module 800, located at the sixth station. The material unloading module 800 is used to pick up the skeleton chip assembly at the fifth station for unloading.
[0107] By adopting the above technical solution, the unloading module 800 can realize the automated unloading of the skeleton chip assembly, thereby realizing the entire assembly process of the skeleton chip assembly from loading to unloading, further improving assembly efficiency and reducing the labor intensity of workers.
[0108] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, reference is made to... Figure 3 The turntable 200 is equipped with four contouring fixtures 210, which are evenly spaced along the circumference of the turntable 200. One contouring fixture 210 is respectively located at the first, second, third, and fourth workstations. By setting up these four contouring fixtures 210, as the turntable 200 rotates, the four fixtures move to the area below the skeleton loading module 300, the chip loading module 400, the pressing module 500, and at the fourth workstation, respectively. This allows for simultaneous assembly of the four skeletons 10 at different stages, thereby improving assembly efficiency.
[0109] Furthermore, the workbench 100 is also equipped with a turntable drive mechanism (not shown in the figure). The drive end of the turntable drive mechanism is connected to the turntable 200. The turntable drive mechanism drives the turntable 200 to rotate clockwise intermittently so that the turntable 200 stops for a set time after rotating a preset angle, so as to facilitate the feeding of the skeleton 10, the feeding of the chip 20, the pressing of the skeleton 10 and the chip 20, and the welding of the skeleton 10 and the chip 20.
[0110] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, reference is made to... Figure 4 The skeleton feeding module 300 also includes a skeleton placement assembly 320, which is mounted on the worktable 100. The skeleton placement assembly 320 is used to place skeletons 10, and its lower end has a skeleton discharge port (not shown in the figure). The skeletons 10 placed in the skeleton placement assembly 320 can be output from the skeleton discharge port. The first moving mechanism 310 is used to receive the skeletons 10 in the skeleton discharge port and move them to the contouring fixture 210 located at the first station. Further, before the skeletons 10 are fed, multiple skeletons 10 are placed in vertical skeleton tubes (not shown in the figure) with openings at both ends. The skeleton placement assembly 320 has a vertical skeleton tube receiving groove 321 extending in the vertical direction. The vertical skeleton tubes are inserted into the vertical skeleton tube receiving groove 321, and the opening at the lower end of the vertical skeleton tube is aligned with the skeleton discharge port. The skeleton 10 can fall onto the first moving mechanism 310 through the lower opening and the skeleton discharge port, and the first moving mechanism 310 moves the skeleton 10 into the contouring fixture 210 located at the first station.
[0111] Those skilled in the art will understand that a sealing plate (not shown in the figure) can be provided at the bottom of the skeleton placement assembly 320. The sealing plate is used to block the skeleton outlet after one skeleton 10 is output from the skeleton outlet to prevent other skeletons 10 from falling from the skeleton outlet. When the next skeleton 10 needs to be output from the skeleton outlet, the sealing plate automatically opens the skeleton outlet. The specific structure of the sealing plate is not limited, as long as it achieves the function of opening and closing.
[0112] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, reference is made to... Figure 4 The first moving mechanism 310 includes: a first horizontal telescopic cylinder 311, a first vertical telescopic cylinder 312, a receiving plate 313, and a first clamping assembly 314. The first horizontal telescopic cylinder 311 is mounted on the worktable 100 and is movable along a first direction. The first vertical telescopic cylinder 312 is connected to the telescopic end of the first horizontal telescopic cylinder 311, and the telescopic end of the first vertical telescopic cylinder 312 is provided with the receiving plate 313. The first vertical telescopic cylinder 312 is used to drive the receiving plate 313 to move vertically. The receiving plate 313 is provided with a skeleton receiving groove 3131, which is adapted to the shape of the skeleton 10 and is used to receive the skeleton 10 output from the skeleton discharge port. Specifically, the skeleton 10 is in a vertical state on the vertical skeleton tube (that is, the chip mounting slot 11 on the skeleton 10 is not facing upwards, but facing to the side). Therefore, the cross-sectional shape of the skeleton receiving groove 3131 is adapted to the cross-sectional shape of the skeleton 10 to facilitate receiving, fixing and accommodating the skeleton 10. The first clamping assembly 314 is disposed between the skeleton receiving groove 3131 and the contouring fixture 210 of the first station. The first clamping assembly 314 is used to clamp the skeleton 10 in the skeleton receiving groove 3131 and move it into the contouring fixture 210 of the first station.
[0113] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, reference is made to... Figure 5 The first gripping assembly 314 includes: a second vertical telescopic cylinder (not shown in the figure), a second horizontal telescopic cylinder 3142, a first gripper 3143, a motor 3144, a third horizontal telescopic cylinder 3145, a third vertical telescopic cylinder 3146, and a second gripper 3147. These structures are arranged sequentially or in connection to realize the continuous conveying and transfer of the skeleton 10 from the skeleton receiving groove 3131 to the contouring fixture 210 at the first station.
[0114] The second vertical telescopic cylinder is located downstream of the skeleton receiving groove 3131 along the first direction and can move vertically. The second horizontal telescopic cylinder 3142 is connected to the telescopic end of the second vertical telescopic cylinder 3141. The second horizontal telescopic cylinder 3142 can move along the first direction, and its telescopic end is equipped with a first gripper 3143, which is used to grip the skeleton 10 in the skeleton receiving groove 3131. In other words, the second vertical telescopic cylinder and the second horizontal telescopic cylinder 3142 drive the first gripper 3143 to grip the skeleton 10 in the skeleton receiving groove 3131.
[0115] Motor 3144 is mounted on the second vertical telescopic cylinder, and the output end of motor 3144 is connected to the second horizontal telescopic cylinder 3142. Motor 3144 is used to drive the first gripper 3143 to rotate 90°. That is, after the first gripper 3143 grips the skeleton 10, motor 3144 drives the first gripper to rotate 90°, so that the skeleton 10 gripped by the first gripper 3143 rotates 90°, thereby setting the chip mounting slot 11 vertically upward, which facilitates the subsequent process of placing the chip 20 into the chip mounting slot 11.
[0116] The third horizontal telescopic cylinder 3145 is located downstream of the second horizontal telescopic cylinder 3142, and the third horizontal telescopic cylinder 3145 can move along the second direction (e.g., Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown in the Y direction (the second direction is perpendicular to both the first and vertical directions), the movement is as follows: The telescopic end of the third horizontal telescopic cylinder 3145 is equipped with a third vertical telescopic cylinder 3146, which can move vertically. The lower end of the third vertical telescopic cylinder 3146 is equipped with a second gripper 3147, which is used to grip the skeleton 10 in the first gripper 3143 and move it to the contouring fixture 210 at the first station. In other words, the third horizontal telescopic cylinder 3145 and the third vertical telescopic cylinder 3146 drive the second gripper 3147 to grip the skeleton 10 on the first gripper 3143.
[0117] Furthermore, the telescopic end of the third vertical telescopic cylinder 3146 is provided with two second grippers 3147, and a skeleton fixture 170 is also provided on the worktable 100. The skeleton fixture 170 is used to support, fix, and transfer the skeleton 10. The skeleton fixture 170 is located between the first gripper 3143 and the contouring fixture 210 of the first station. Specifically, the third horizontal telescopic cylinder 3145 and the third vertical telescopic cylinder 3146 drive the two second grippers 3147 to move simultaneously. When the second gripper 3147 close to the first gripper 3143 grabs the skeleton 10 on the first gripper 3143, the second gripper 3147 away from the first gripper 3143 grabs the skeleton 10 from the skeleton fixture 170 and places it in the contouring fixture 210 of the first station, thereby improving the conveying efficiency of the skeleton 10.
[0118] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, reference is made to... Figure 6 and Figure 7 The chip loading module 400 includes a feeder 420, which is mounted on the worktable 100. The feeder 420 has a chip placement slot 421, used to transport at least two chips 20 to the chip placement slot 421. Since thousands of chips 20 are simultaneously loaded onto a reel when they arrive, and the reel is wrapped in plastic film, the feeder 420 allows the plastic film to be removed from the reel, enabling the chips 20 to be sequentially transported to the chip placement slot 421. Preferably, the chip placement slot 421 accommodates at least two chips 20 simultaneously to improve assembly efficiency. Furthermore, two detection elements 422 can be provided on the upper part of the chip placement slot 421 to detect whether two chips 20 are present simultaneously in the chip placement slot 421. Those skilled in the art will understand that the detection elements 422 can be sensors capable of detecting the presence of objects, such as infrared sensors, photoelectric sensors, distance sensors, and gravity sensors.
[0119] Further reference Figure 6 and Figure 7 The workbench 100 is provided with a first fixed seat 110 and a second fixed seat 120 in sequence. The first fixed seat 110 is provided with a first chip fixture 111, and the second fixed seat 120 is provided with a second chip fixture 121. Both the first chip fixture 111 and the second chip fixture 121 are provided with chip fixing grooves (not shown in the figure). The shape of the chip fixing grooves is adapted to the shape of the incoming chip. The first chip fixture 111 and the second chip fixture 121 are used to fix two chips 20. The second moving mechanism 410 includes: a mounting plate 411, a first transfer assembly 412, a second transfer assembly 413, and a third transfer assembly 414.
[0120] The mounting plate 411 is mounted on the worktable 100 and can slide along a first direction. A first transfer assembly 412, a second transfer assembly 413, and a third transfer assembly 414 are sequentially mounted on the mounting plate 411. When the mounting plate 411 moves along the first direction, the first transfer assembly 412, the second transfer assembly 413, and the third transfer assembly 414 move synchronously with the mounting plate 411 to move the two chips 20 in the chip placement slot 421 step-by-step onto the skeleton 10 in the contouring fixture 210 of the second station.
[0121] Specifically, the first transfer assembly 412 includes two third grippers 4121, which are used to grip two chips 20 in the chip placement slot 421 and move them into the first chip fixture 111. The second transfer assembly 413 includes two fourth grippers 4131, which are used to grip two chips 20 in the first chip fixture 111 and move them into the second chip fixture 121. The third transfer assembly 414 includes two negative pressure suction nozzles 4141, which are used to pick up two chips 20 in the second chip fixture 121 and move them onto the skeleton 10 in the contour fixture 210 of the second station.
[0122] Those skilled in the art will understand that the negative pressure nozzle 4141 can be connected to a negative pressure system through a negative pressure pipeline, and a solenoid valve can be installed on the negative pressure pipeline to control the suction action of the negative pressure nozzle 4141. The above are conventional technologies, and this application will not elaborate on them further.
[0123] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, reference continues to be made. Figure 6 and Figure 7 The first transplanting assembly 412 also includes a fourth vertical telescopic cylinder 4122 disposed on the mounting plate 411, and two third grippers 4121 disposed at the telescopic ends of the fourth vertical telescopic cylinder 4122. The fourth vertical telescopic cylinder 4122 is used to drive the two third grippers 4121 to move in the vertical direction.
[0124] The second transplanting assembly 413 also includes a fifth vertical telescopic cylinder 4132 mounted on the mounting plate 411. The telescopic end of the fifth vertical telescopic cylinder 4132 is connected to a fourth horizontal telescopic cylinder 4133, and two fourth grippers 4131 are located at the telescopic end of the fourth horizontal telescopic cylinder 4133. The fifth vertical telescopic cylinder 4132 is used to drive the two fourth grippers 4131 to move vertically, and the fourth horizontal telescopic cylinder 4133 is used to drive the two fourth grippers 4131 to move in a second direction.
[0125] The third transplanting assembly 414 also includes a sixth vertical telescopic cylinder 4142 disposed on the mounting plate 411. The telescopic end of the sixth vertical telescopic cylinder 4142 is provided with two negative pressure suction nozzles 4141. The sixth vertical telescopic cylinder 4142 is used to drive the two negative pressure suction nozzles 4141 to move in the vertical direction.
[0126] Furthermore, since the pin orientation of the chip 20 is exactly opposite to that of the pin orientation of the frame 10 when the chip arrives, a first horizontal rotary cylinder 112 is connected to the bottom of the first fixing base 110. The first horizontal rotary cylinder 112 is used to rotate the first chip fixture 111 by 180°, thereby rotating the two chips 20 in the first chip fixture 111 by 180° so that the pin orientation of the chip 20 is the same as that of the pin orientation of the frame 10. Also, since the pins of the chip 20 are relatively long when the chip arrives, a cutting assembly 130 is provided above the second fixing base 120. The cutting assembly 130 is provided with four cutters 131. The cutting assembly 130 can move vertically to drive the four cutters 131 to cut the four pins of the chip 20 in the second chip fixture 121, so that the pin length of the chip 20 matches the pin length of the frame 10, which facilitates the subsequent process of soldering the pins of the chip 20 to the pins of the frame 10.
[0127] refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7 The specific working process of the chip loading module 400 is as follows:
[0128] First, the first transfer assembly 412 moves as follows: When there are two chips 20 in the chip placement slot 421, the fourth vertical telescopic cylinder 4122 drives the two third grippers 4121 to move vertically upwards, and moves to the right along the first direction under the influence of the mounting plate 411. When the two third grippers 4121 move above the chip placement slot 421, the fourth vertical telescopic cylinder 4122 drives the two third grippers 4121 to move downwards vertically, so that the two third grippers 4121 respectively grip the two chips 20 in the chip placement slot 421. Then, the fourth vertical telescopic cylinder 4122 drives the two third grippers 4121 to move vertically upwards, and moves to the left along the first direction under the influence of the mounting plate 411, so that the two third grippers 4121 move above the first chip fixture 111. Subsequently, the fourth vertical telescopic cylinder 4122 drives the two third grippers 4121 to move downwards in the vertical direction, so that the two third grippers 4121 respectively place the two chips 20 into the first chip fixture 111. After this, the first horizontal rotary cylinder 112 drives the first fixed base 110 to rotate 180°, so that the two chips 20 in the first chip fixture 111 rotate 180°, so that the pin orientation of the chip 20 is the same as the pin orientation of the frame 10.
[0129] Simultaneously with the operation of the first transfer assembly 412, the second transfer assembly 413 operates at the same time. The specific working process of the second transfer assembly 413 is as follows: the fifth vertical telescopic cylinder 4132 drives the two fourth grippers 4131 to move vertically upwards, and under the influence of the mounting plate 411, moves to the right along a first direction. When the two fourth grippers 4131 move above the first chip fixture 111, the fifth vertical telescopic cylinder 4132 drives the two fourth grippers 4131 to move vertically downwards, so that the two fourth grippers 4131 respectively grip the two chips 20 in the first chip fixture 111. Afterwards, the fifth vertical telescopic cylinder 4132 drives the two fourth grippers 4131 to move vertically upwards, and under the influence of the mounting plate 411, moves to the left along a first direction, so that the two fourth grippers 4131 move above the second chip fixture 121. Subsequently, the fifth vertical telescopic cylinder 4132 drives the two fourth grippers 4131 to move downwards in the vertical direction, so that the two fourth grippers 4131 respectively place the two chips 20 into the second chip fixture 121. After this, the cutting assembly 130 moves downwards in the vertical direction to cut the pins of the chips 20 in the second chip fixture 121, and then the cutting assembly 130 moves upwards to reset.
[0130] Simultaneously with the operation of the first transfer assembly 412 and the second transfer assembly 413, the third transfer assembly 414 operates synchronously. The specific working process of the third transfer assembly 414 is as follows: the sixth vertical telescopic cylinder 4142 drives the two negative pressure suction nozzles 4141 to move vertically upwards, and under the influence of the mounting plate 411, moves to the right along the first direction. When the two negative pressure suction nozzles 4141 move above the first chip fixture 111, the sixth vertical telescopic cylinder 4142 drives the two negative pressure suction nozzles 4141 to move vertically downwards, so that the two fourth grippers 4131 respectively grip the two chips 20 in the second chip fixture 121. Afterwards, the sixth vertical telescopic cylinder 4142 drives the two negative pressure suction nozzles 4141 to move vertically upwards, and under the influence of the mounting plate 411, moves to the left along the first direction, so that the two negative pressure suction nozzles 4141 move above the second chip fixture 121. Then, the sixth vertical telescopic cylinder 4142 drives the two negative pressure suction nozzles 4141 to move downward in the vertical direction, so that the two negative pressure suction nozzles 4141 respectively place the two chips 20 onto the skeleton 10 in the second chip tooling 121.
[0131] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, reference continues to be made. Figure 7The chip loading module 400 also includes a first pressure plate 430, which is located above the second station. The first pressure plate 430 can move vertically to bring the negative pressure suction nozzle 4141 into contact with the two chips 20 in the contouring fixture 210 located at the second station and apply a downward force to the two chips 20, so that the two chips 20 in the contouring fixture 210 located at the second station are at least partially pressed into the two corresponding chip mounting slots 11. In this embodiment, the movement of the first pressure plate 430 can be driven by a vertical cylinder, or by a hydraulic cylinder, connecting rod, lead screw, or other structures; this application does not limit this.
[0132] By adopting the above technical solution, by setting the first pressure plate 430, at least a portion of the two chips 20 can be installed in the two chip mounting slots 11 at the second station, preventing the two chips 20 from detaching from the frame 10 due to centrifugal force or other reasons when the turntable 200 rotates to the third station, thereby improving the reliability of the device.
[0133] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, reference is made to... Figure 8 The press-fit module 500 also includes: a sixth horizontal telescopic cylinder 520, a positioning rod 530, and a seventh vertical telescopic cylinder 540.
[0134] The sixth horizontal telescopic cylinder 520 is mounted on the worktable 100 and can move along the first direction. A positioning rod 530 is located at the telescopic end of the sixth horizontal telescopic cylinder 520. The sixth horizontal telescopic cylinder 520 drives the positioning rod 530 to move along the first direction, so that the end of the positioning rod 530 contacts the sensing heads 21 of the two chips 20 in the contouring fixture 210 of the third station, thereby axially positioning the chips 20 so that the chips 20 are installed axially with the frame 10.
[0135] The seventh vertical telescopic cylinder 540 is mounted on the worktable 100. The telescopic end of the seventh vertical telescopic cylinder 540 is equipped with a pressure head 510. The seventh vertical telescopic cylinder 540 is used to drive the pressure head 510 to move in the vertical direction, so as to apply a downward force to the two chips 20 in the contour tooling 210 of the third station, so that the two chips 20 are completely pressed into the two chip mounting slots 11 respectively, thereby realizing the mechanical assembly of the skeleton 10 and the chip 20.
[0136] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, reference is made to... Figure 9The third moving mechanism 600 includes a seventh horizontal telescopic cylinder 610 and an eighth vertical telescopic cylinder 620. The seventh horizontal telescopic cylinder 610 is mounted on the worktable 100 and can move along a first direction. Preferably, since the fourth and fifth workstations are far apart, the stroke of a single seventh horizontal telescopic cylinder 610 is insufficient. Therefore, in this embodiment, two seventh horizontal telescopic cylinders 610 are provided, connected together, and move synchronously along the first direction. The eighth vertical telescopic cylinder 620 is located at the telescopic end of the seventh horizontal telescopic cylinder 610 and can move vertically. The telescopic end of the eighth vertical telescopic cylinder 620 is provided with a fifth gripper 630. The seventh horizontal telescopic cylinder 610 and the eighth vertical telescopic cylinder 620 drive the fifth gripper 630 to move the skeleton 10 and the two chips 20 in the contouring fixture 210 of the fourth workstation to the contouring fixture 210 of the fifth workstation. In other words, the third moving mechanism 600 realizes the transfer of the mechanically assembled skeleton 10 and the two chips 20 from the fourth station to the fifth station.
[0137] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, reference continues to be made. Figure 9 The assembly device also includes a first housing 140, a first inspection mechanism 150, and a control module (not shown in the figure). The first housing 140 is located on the workbench 100 and near the fourth workstation, and is used to hold the skeleton 10 and chips 20 that have failed mechanical assembly quality tests. The first inspection mechanism 150 is located at the fourth workstation, with its inspection end facing downwards. The first inspection mechanism 150 is used to perform mechanical assembly quality inspection on the skeleton 10 and the two chips 20 in the contouring fixture 210 located below it at the fourth workstation.
[0138] The control module is electrically connected to the first detection mechanism 150, which sends a first signal indicating that the mechanical assembly quality is acceptable and a second signal indicating that the mechanical assembly quality is unacceptable to the control module. When the first detection mechanism 150 sends the first signal to the control module, the control module controls the fifth gripper 630 to grasp the skeleton 10 and two chips 20 in the contouring fixture 210 at the fourth station and move them to the fifth station, so that the welding module 700 at the fifth station can perform pin welding on the skeleton 10 and the two chips 20. When the first detection mechanism 150 sends the second signal to the control module, the control module controls the fifth gripper 630 to grasp the skeleton 10 and the two chips 20 at the fourth station and move them into the first housing 140, thereby collecting the skeleton 10 and chips 20 that are unacceptable in terms of mechanical assembly quality.
[0139] In this embodiment, the first detection mechanism 150 can be a commonly used image detection module such as an AI camera or a CCD detection module. The first detection mechanism 150 can compare the captured mechanical assembly quality pixels with standard assembly pixels to automatically check the mechanical assembly quality of the skeleton 10 and the two chips 20.
[0140] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, reference is made to... Figure 10 The welding module 700 also includes a third fixing base 720 and a second pressure plate 730. The third fixing base 720 is mounted on the worktable 100 and has at least one contouring fixture 210 for receiving the skeleton 10 and chip 20 transported from the fourth station. A welding machine 710 is positioned above the third fixing base 720, with its welding end facing downwards, facilitating the emission of a welding laser towards the pins of the skeleton 10 and chip 20 below it, thereby welding the pins of the skeleton 10 and chip 20. The second pressure plate 730 is positioned between the welding machine 710 and the third fixing base 720. The second pressure plate 730 is movable in a first direction and a vertical direction, and it applies a downward force to the two chips 20 in the contouring fixture 210 below it, causing the pins of the skeleton 10 to contact the pins of the two chips 20.
[0141] Furthermore, the second pressure plate 730 is provided with a welding window (not shown in the figure) to facilitate observation of whether the pins of the skeleton 10 are in contact with the pins of the two chips 20. When it is observed through the welding window that the pins of the skeleton 10 are in contact with the pins of the two chips 20, the welding machine 710 welds the pins of the skeleton 10 to the pins of the two chips 20 to achieve a conductive connection between the skeleton 10 and the chips 20.
[0142] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, reference is made to... Figure 10 The fifth station has two contouring fixtures 210. A contouring fixture 210 is provided at both the first and second ends of the third fixed base 720. The welding machine 710 and the second pressure plate 730 are positioned near the first end of the third fixed base 720. The welding module 700 also includes a second horizontal rotary cylinder 740 and a second inspection mechanism 750. The second horizontal rotary cylinder 740 is located between the worktable 100 and the third fixed base 720, and is used to rotate the third fixed base 720 180°. The second inspection mechanism 750 is located above the second end of the third fixed base 720, with its inspection end facing downwards. The second inspection mechanism 750 is used to inspect the welding quality of the skeleton 10 chip 20 assembly located in the contouring fixture 210 below it.
[0143] In other words, after the skeleton 10 and chip 20 in the contouring fixture 210 at the first end of the third fixed seat 720 are welded, the second pressure plate 730 moves away from one of the contouring fixtures 210 on the third fixed seat 720 along the first direction and the vertical direction to avoid it, so that the second horizontal rotary cylinder 740 can drive the third fixed seat 720 to rotate 180°, so that the contouring fixtures 210 at the first end and the second end of the third fixed seat 720 can interchange positions, so that the second detection mechanism 750 can detect the welding quality of the skeleton 10 and chip 20 in the contouring fixture 210 at the first end of the third fixed seat 720.
[0144] Figure 11 This diagram illustrates the structure of the feeding module 800 in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 1 , Figure 12 This diagram illustrates the structure of the feeding module 800 in an embodiment of the present invention. Figure 2 According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, refer to Figure 11 and Figure 12 The unloading module 800 includes: a servo motor module 810, a ninth vertical telescopic cylinder 820, a third horizontal rotary cylinder 830, an eighth horizontal telescopic cylinder 840, and a sixth gripper 850.
[0145] The servo motor module 810 is mounted on the worktable 100 and can move along the first direction. A ninth vertical telescopic cylinder 820 is mounted on the servo motor module 810 and moves along the first direction along with the servo motor module 810, while also being able to move vertically. A third horizontal rotary cylinder 830 is located at the telescopic end of the ninth vertical telescopic cylinder 820 and can rotate horizontally. An eighth horizontal telescopic cylinder 840 is located at the lower end of the third horizontal rotary cylinder 830, and its telescopic end is equipped with a sixth gripper 850. The sixth gripper 850 is used to grip the skeleton chip assembly at the second end of the third fixed base 720 and move it to the qualified product placement position 861 or the second housing 160.
[0146] According to another specific embodiment of the present invention, reference continues to be made. Figure 11 and Figure 12The assembly device also includes a second housing 160, which is located on the workbench 100 and near the sixth work station. The second housing 160 is used to hold the skeleton 10 and chip 20 that have failed the welding assembly quality test. The control module is also electrically connected to the second detection mechanism 750, which is used to send a third signal indicating that the welding quality is acceptable and a fourth signal indicating that the welding quality is unacceptable to the control module.
