Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a preprocessing apparatus for chip assembly. Background Technology

[0002] In chip assembly lines, to ensure the quality of the final product, various components, including chips, undergo preprocessing. Each component typically requires multiple preprocessing operations. For this purpose, equipment usually employs robotic arms to move components to different workstations for different preprocessing steps, which is complex and inefficient. Furthermore, some components require preprocessing on both the top and bottom sides. Most equipment uses two sets of processing mechanisms on each side. The more processing steps a component requires, the higher the equipment cost. Therefore, there is an urgent need for preprocessing equipment that can both save costs and improve efficiency.

[0040] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that the advantages and features of the present invention can be more easily understood by those skilled in the art. It should be noted that the description of these embodiments is for the purpose of aiding understanding the present invention, but does not constitute a limitation thereof. Furthermore, the technical features involved in the various embodiments of the present invention described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0041] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 The diagram illustrates a pre-processing apparatus for chip assembly, used to pre-process workpieces for assembly. The pre-processing apparatus includes a carrier 1 and a transport device for transporting the carrier 1. See also... Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, the carrier 1 includes a support base 11 and a first connecting portion 12 and a second connecting portion 13 respectively disposed on opposite sides of the support base 11. The workpiece to be processed can be placed on the support base 11, and the first connecting portion 12 and the second connecting portion 13 are respectively fixedly connected to the support base 11. See also Figure 7As shown, the transmission device includes a transmission track 21 and a transmission component 22. The transmission track 21 extends along the transmission direction, and the transmission component 22 is movably disposed on the transmission track 21. Specifically, the transmission component 22 can move back and forth along the transmission track 21. The carrier 1 is connected to the transmission component 22. Specifically, the first connecting part 12 is connected to the transmission component 22, so that the transmission component 22 can drive the carrier 1 to move.

[0042] In this embodiment, the carrier 1 has multiple pre-processing stations along its transport path. The pre-processing equipment also includes a pre-processing mechanism, with at least one pre-processing mechanism at each station. After the carrier 1 is transported to the pre-processing station via the transport component 22, the pre-processing mechanism can pre-process the workpieces on the carrier. In this embodiment, by setting up a transport device, the carrier 1 can be quickly transferred between multiple pre-processing stations, thereby improving pre-processing efficiency.

[0043] In this embodiment, the first connecting part 12 is detachably connected to the transmission member 22 in the vertical direction, and the second connecting part 13 extends to the outside of the transmission track 21. The pretreatment equipment also includes a flipping mechanism 4, which is arranged on one side of the transmission track 21 perpendicular to the transmission direction. The flipping mechanism 4 includes a flipping seat 41 that can move up and down and rotate around a rotation center line. The flipping seat 41 is provided with a clamping member 42 for clamping the second connecting part 13. The flipping seat 41 can drive the carrier 1 to move upward so as to disengage from the transmission member 22. Then, the flipping seat 41 can drive the carrier 1 to flip up and down, so that the workpiece on it flips up and down. After being flipped, the carrier 1 can move downward under the drive of the flipping seat 41, so that the carrier 1 can be reinstalled on the transmission component 22. The transmission component 22 can then transfer the carrier 1 to the pre-processing station. In this way, the upper and lower sides of the workpiece can be inspected by the same pre-processing mechanism. Compared with setting up a separate inspection mechanism 3 for each side of the workpiece, it can effectively save costs. This is especially true for equipment that requires multiple pre-processing steps for the workpiece, where the cost savings are even more significant.

[0044] In this embodiment, multiple pre-processing stations include inspection stations and cleaning stations. The pre-processing mechanism includes an inspection mechanism 3 and a cleaning mechanism 7, wherein the inspection mechanism 3 is located at the inspection station, and the cleaning mechanism 7 is located at the cleaning station. The pre-processing equipment can both inspect the workpieces to identify problematic workpieces and clean the workpieces to ensure the quality of the subsequently assembled finished products. In this embodiment, the cleaning mechanism 7 achieves cleaning through airflow; specifically, the cleaning mechanism 7 uses a combination of blowing and suction to achieve surface cleaning.

[0045] In this embodiment, the inspection mechanism 3 includes a visual inspection module 31 and a scanning module 32, which perform different inspection tasks respectively. In some embodiments, multiple inspection stations are provided, with the visual inspection module 31 and the scanning module 32 respectively located at different inspection stations, making the equipment more organized. In other embodiments, the visual inspection module 31 and the scanning module 32 are provided at the same inspection station, which can save space and improve inspection efficiency.

[0046] In this embodiment, the support base 11 is provided with a receiving groove 111, which has an upward-facing opening 1111. A detection port 112 is provided at the lower part of the support base 11, communicating with the bottom of the receiving groove 111 and facing downwards. Before flipping, the pre-processing mechanism can process the workpiece from top to bottom through the opening 1111, and after flipping, the same pre-processing mechanism can process the back side of the workpiece from top to bottom through the detection port 112. Alternatively, before flipping, the pre-processing mechanism can process the workpiece from bottom to top through the detection port 112, and after flipping, the same pre-processing mechanism can process the other side of the workpiece from bottom to top through the opening 1111. Alternatively, multiple pre-processing mechanisms can process the workpiece at the same detection station through both the opening 1111 and the detection port 112.

[0047] Specifically, see Figure 10 As shown, the support base 11 has a through hole running vertically. The wall of the through hole has a boss 113 extending inward. In this embodiment, the boss 113 includes a plurality of bosses spaced apart circumferentially. The bosses 113 are used to support the workpiece. In the vertical direction, the plurality of bosses 113 and the wall of the through hole on one side form the aforementioned receiving groove 111. The opening of the through hole on the side away from the receiving groove 111 forms a detection port 112.

[0048] In this embodiment, the carrier 1 connected to the transmission component 22 has its second connecting part 13 and the support seat 11 both extending to the outside of the transmission track 21. The suspended support seat 11, in conjunction with the slots 1111 and detection ports 112 provided on the upper and lower sides of the support seat 11, allows multiple pre-processing devices to detect the upper and lower sides of the workpiece at the same pre-processing station. For example, the upper and lower sides of the workpiece can be detected by multiple detection mechanisms 3, or the upper and lower sides of the workpiece can be cleaned by a cleaning mechanism 7, thus improving detection or cleaning efficiency.

[0049] In this embodiment, the first connecting part 12 and the transmitting member 22 are connected by insertion in the vertical direction. Specifically, one of the transmitting member 22 and the first connecting part 12 is provided with a connector extending in the vertical direction, and the other is provided with a connecting hole 121, in which the connector is movably inserted. In this embodiment, the upper part of the transmitting member 22 is provided with a connector, and the first connecting part 12 is provided with a connecting hole 121. Preferably, multiple connectors and multiple connecting holes 121 are provided. In this embodiment, two connectors and two connecting holes 121 are provided, and two connectors can be inserted into two corresponding connecting holes 121.

[0050] In this embodiment, the transmission device is further provided with a clamping mechanism 5, which is used to clamp and fix the carrier 1 to ensure stability during transmission. Specifically, the clamping mechanism 5 includes a clamping member 51 disposed on the transmission member 22. The clamping member 51 is movably disposed between a clamping position and a releasing position. When in the clamping position, the clamping member 51 abuts against the upper part of the first connecting part 12, and the clamping member 51 clamps and fixes the first connecting part 12 to prevent the carrier 1 from detaching from the transmission member 22. When the clamping member 51 is in the releasing position, the clamping member 51 retracts from above the first connecting part 12, which can drive the carrier 1 to move upward and separate from the transmission member 22. In this embodiment, before the flipping mechanism 4 performs the flipping operation, the clamping member 51 changes from the clamping position to the releasing position.

[0051] In this embodiment, one of the second connecting part 13 and the clamping member 42 is provided with a positioning groove, and the other is provided with a positioning protrusion. When the clamping member 42 clamps the second connecting part 13, the positioning protrusion is inserted into the positioning groove. The cooperation between the protrusion and the positioning groove can improve the accuracy of clamping, thereby improving the accuracy of the carrier 1's flipping. At the same time, the insertion and cooperation between the positioning protrusion and the positioning groove can also improve the stability of clamping.

[0052] Specifically, in this embodiment, see Figures 8 to 10 As shown, the positioning groove includes a first positioning groove 131 extending along a first direction and a second positioning groove 132 extending along a second direction, the first direction intersecting the second direction. The positioning protrusion includes a first protrusion 421 and a second protrusion 422, the extending directions of the first protrusion 421 and the second protrusion 422 intersecting each other. When the clamping member 42 clamps the second connecting part 13, the first protrusion 421 is inserted into the first positioning groove 131, and the second protrusion 422 is inserted into the second positioning groove 132. This arrangement can further improve the clamping accuracy and clamping stability.

[0053] In this embodiment, the first direction is parallel to the transmission direction, and the second direction is perpendicular to the transmission direction. In this embodiment, the upper and lower sides of the second connecting part 13 are provided with positioning grooves, and the clamping member 42 includes two clamping parts 423 that can be brought closer together, and each of the two clamping parts 423 is provided with a positioning protrusion.

[0054] In this embodiment, a locking member 14 is provided on the carrier 1. The locking member 14 is movably disposed between a locked position and an unlocked position. The locking member 14 has a locking part 141. When the locking member 14 is in the locked position, the locking part 141 extends into the receiving groove 111 and blocks the opening 1111 of the receiving groove 111. Specifically, when the locking member 14 is in the locked position, its locking part 141 abuts against the workpiece located in the receiving groove 111, thereby fixing the workpiece and preventing it from leaving the receiving groove 111. When the locking member 14 is in the unlocked position, the locking part 141 retracts from the receiving groove 111. At this time, the workpiece can be removed from the receiving groove 111, or the workpiece can be assembled into the receiving groove 111.

[0055] In this embodiment, the preprocessing device is provided with an unlocking mechanism 61, which is located at the beginning and end of the transmission path of the carrier 1. The unlocking mechanism 61 includes an unlocking member 611 for driving the locking member 14 to switch to the unlocking position.

[0056] In this embodiment, see Figure 9 , Figure 10 As shown, the locking member 14 is rotatably connected to the carrier 1 via a pivot 140. The locking member 14 also has a driving part 142, with the locking part 141 and the driving part 142 respectively disposed on both sides of the pivot 140. The unlocking member 611 is movable up and down. In some embodiments, when the carrier 1 is at the beginning or end of the transmission path, the unlocking member 611 is located below the locking part 141. By lifting the unlocking member 611 upward, the locking part 141 can be driven to move upward, thereby causing the locking part 141 to exit the receiving groove 111. In other embodiments, when the carrier 1 is at the beginning or end of the transmission path, the unlocking member 611 is located above the driving part 142. By moving the unlocking member 611 downward, the driving part 142 can be driven to move downward. The driving part 142 drives the locking member 14 to rotate, causing the locking part 141 to move upward and exit the receiving groove 111, thus achieving unlocking.

[0057] In this embodiment, see Figure 4As shown, the unlocking mechanism 61 includes a lifting seat 612, which is movable up and down, and an unlocking member 611 is disposed on the lifting seat 612. In this embodiment, three locking members 14 are movably disposed on the carrier 1, and three unlocking members 611 are fixedly disposed on the lifting seat 612. The three unlocking members 611 are disposed at the lower part of the lifting seat 612. When the carrier 1 is at the beginning or end of the transmission path, the three unlocking members 611 are respectively located above the driving part 142 of the three locking members 14.

[0058] In some embodiments, the locking member 14 is slidably connected to the carrier 1, and the unlocking member 611 is configured to move both vertically and horizontally. The unlocking member 611 drives the locking member 14 to slide, thereby causing the locking member 14 to switch to the unlocked position. Specifically, when the carrier 1 is at the beginning or end of the transmission path, the moving direction of the unlocking member 611 is parallel to the sliding direction of the locking member 14, thereby enabling the unlocking member 611 to drive the locking member 14 to switch to the unlocked position.

[0059] In this embodiment, an elastic element 15 is provided between the locking member 14 and the carrier 1. The elastic element 15 is used to provide the force required to drive the locking member 14 to the locked position. In some embodiments, the elastic element 15 is a spring disposed between the locking member 14 and the carrier 1. In this embodiment, the elastic element 15 is a torsion spring disposed between the locking member 14 and the carrier 1.

[0060] In this embodiment, the visual inspection module 31 is an upper visual inspection module 311, which performs inspection from top to bottom. In some embodiments, the visual inspection module 31 is a lower visual inspection module 312, which performs inspection from bottom to top. In this embodiment, the visual inspection module 31 and the scanning module 32 are arranged adjacent to each other, and the flipping mechanism 4 is arranged upstream of the visual inspection module 31 and the scanning module 32 along the transmission direction. The workpiece inspection process is as follows: the flipping mechanism 4 first flips the carrier 1, and then the workpiece on the carrier 1 is inspected sequentially by the scanning module 32 and the visual inspection module 31. After the first round of inspection is completed, the transmission mechanism reverses the transmission of the carrier 1 so that the carrier 1 returns to the flipping mechanism 4. The flipping mechanism 4 flips the carrier 1 again, at which time the carrier 1 returns to the initial state. The carrier 1 is transmitted forward along the transmission direction, and the scanning module 32 and the visual inspection module 31 perform a second round of inspection on the other side of the workpiece. After the second round of inspection is completed, the carrier 1 can continue to be transmitted until the destination.

[0061] In this embodiment, the cleaning mechanism 7 is located upstream of the detection mechanism 3. It first cleans the surface of the workpiece before detection, thereby improving detection accuracy. In this embodiment, the cleaning mechanism 7 is located upstream of the flipping mechanism 4.

[0062] In this embodiment, when assembling the chip 200, the adapter 100 and the chip 200 are stacked sequentially on the motherboard, and then both are fixed to the motherboard. The adapter 100 serves as an intermediate component for the electrical connection between the motherboard and the chip 200. Both sides of the adapter 100 have metal contacts, therefore both sides need to be inspected. In this embodiment, the carrier 1 is used to support the adapter 100, and the inspection mechanism 3 inspects both sides of the adapter 100, specifically including visual inspection and scanning inspection. In other embodiments, the carrier 1 is used to receive the chip 200, the cleaning mechanism 7 is used to clean the chip 200, and the inspection mechanism 3 is used to inspect the chip 200.

[0063] In this embodiment, the adapter 100 and the chip 200 are fixed to the motherboard by bolts. Both the adapter 100 and the chip 200 are provided with bolt fixing holes. When the locking member 14 is in the locked position, the locking part 141 abuts against the bolt fixing hole, which can avoid damage to the key structure of the adapter 100.

[0064] In this embodiment, the pretreatment equipment further includes a transfer mechanism 8 and a fixture 9. The transfer mechanism 8 includes a transfer track 81 and a conveyor 82 movably mounted on the transfer track 81. The fixture 9 is connected to the conveyor 82, and the conveyor 82 can drive the fixture 9 to move. By setting the transfer mechanism 8 and the fixture 9, the workpiece transfer capacity of the pretreatment equipment can be increased, thereby improving the processing efficiency. In this embodiment, the transfer track 81 and the transmission track 21 are parallel to each other. Specifically, see [link to documentation]. Figure 3 , Figure 7 As shown, the transfer track 81 and the transmission track 21 are arranged side by side, which can save equipment space.

[0065] In this embodiment, the jig 9 is used to carry the chip 200. The jig 9's transport path also includes multiple pre-processing stations, each equipped with at least one pre-processing mechanism. Specifically, the jig 9's transport path includes a detection station and a cleaning station. The detection station is equipped with a detection mechanism 3 for detecting the chip 200, and the cleaning station is equipped with a cleaning mechanism 7 for cleaning the chip 200.

[0066] In some embodiments, the transfer mechanism 8 and the fixture 9 are arranged similarly to the transmission device and the carrier 1, and both use the same working principle for transmission and preprocessing. In this embodiment, since the upper side of the chip 200 has no special functional structure, the preprocessing steps required for the chip 200 are simpler, so there is no need to set up a flipping mechanism 4, and in this embodiment, the fixture 9 is fixedly connected to the transmission member 82.

[0067] In this embodiment, the fixture 9 includes a material-carrying section 91, which has a receiving groove 92 for placing the chip 200. In this embodiment, the receiving groove 92 is similar to the receiving groove 111. The receiving groove 92 has an upward-facing opening, and the material-carrying section 91 also has an opening 93 communicating with the bottom of the receiving groove 92. The pre-processing mechanism can process the chip 200 in the fixture 9 through both the opening and the opening 93.

[0068] In this embodiment, the material-carrying part 91 extends to the outside of the transfer track 81, and multiple pre-processing mechanisms can be set at the same pre-processing station, so that the workpieces on the jig 9 can be processed from the slot and the opening 93 of the receiving tank 92 respectively, thereby improving the processing efficiency.

[0069] In this embodiment, see Figure 6 As shown, the transmission track 21 and the transfer track 81 are located between the support seat 11 and the material loading section 91 along the direction perpendicular to the length extension. The pretreatment mechanism is distributed on the outer sides of the transmission track 21 and the transfer track 81. This layout is more organized and can effectively save space.

[0070] In this embodiment, a limiting member 94 is movably provided on the fixture 9. The limiting member 94 has a limiting part 941, which can extend into the receiving groove 92 and block the opening of the receiving groove 92. The limiting member 94 has a similar function to the locking member 14, which is used to lock and limit the chip 200 located in the receiving groove 92, thereby maintaining the stability of the chip 200 and ensuring the detection accuracy.

[0071] In this embodiment, the pretreatment device is equipped with a drive mechanism 62, which is located at the beginning and end of the transmission path of the fixture 9. The drive mechanism 62 is used to drive the limiting part 941 out of the receiving groove 92. The drive mechanism 62 has a similar function to the unlocking mechanism 61.

[0072] In some embodiments, the limiting member 94 is configured the same as the locking member 14 on the carrier 1, that is, the limiting member 94 is rotatably connected to the fixture 9, and the driving mechanism 62 is also similar in structure to the unlocking mechanism 61. The driving mechanism 62 uses the same working principle as the unlocking mechanism 61 to release the locking of the limiting member 94 on the workpiece.

[0073] In this embodiment, see Figure 11 , Figure 12 As shown, the limiting member 94 is slidably connected to the fixture 9, and its sliding allows the limiting part 941 to enter or exit the receiving groove 92. In this embodiment, see... Figure 5As shown, the drive mechanism 62 includes a movable base 622 capable of both vertical and horizontal movement. A drive member 621 is mounted on the movable base 622, which drives the limiting part 941 out of the receiving slot 92. Specifically, see [link to details]. Figure 13 As shown, the limiting member 94 also includes a mating part 942 fixedly connected to the limiting part 941. The mating part 942 can cooperate with the driving member 621, thereby driving the limiting part 941 out of the receiving groove 92 under the drive of the driving member 621. In this embodiment, the mating part 942 extends downward from the limiting part 941 to the lower part of the fixture 9, and the driving member 621 is disposed on the upper part of the movable base 622 to facilitate the cooperation between the two.

[0074] In this embodiment, the preprocessing equipment further includes a loading mechanism 101 for providing workpieces, a conveying mechanism 102 for transferring workpieces, and a feeding mechanism 103 for providing workpieces for subsequent processes. Specifically, the loading mechanism 101 is used to provide the adapter 100 and the chip 200, and the feeding mechanism 103 is used to receive the preprocessed adapter 100 and the chip 200. The conveying mechanism 102 is used to transfer the adapter 100 and the chip 200. In some embodiments, the conveying mechanism 102 is provided in two sets, one set of which is used to transfer the adapter 100 and the chip 200 from the loading mechanism 101 to the transmission device and the transfer mechanism 8, and the other set of which is used to transfer the adapter 100 and the chip 200 from the transmission device and the transfer mechanism 8 to the feeding mechanism 103. In other embodiments, only one set of conveying mechanism 102 is provided, which is used both to transfer the adapter 100 and the chip 200 from the loading mechanism 101 to the transmission device and transfer mechanism 8, and to transfer the adapter 100 and the chip 200 from the transmission device and transfer mechanism 8 to the feeding mechanism 103.

[0075] In summary, the pretreatment equipment of this embodiment can improve the efficiency of workpiece transfer between different pretreatment stations through the transmission device and the transfer mechanism 8, thereby improving the equipment's processing efficiency. The pretreatment equipment can also flip the workpiece in the carrier 1 up and down through the flipping mechanism 4, and cooperate with the reciprocating motion of the transmission component 22 to process both sides of the workpiece. The equipment can reduce the number of pretreatment mechanisms, thereby effectively saving costs.
