Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of semiconductor packaging equipment technology, specifically to an LED lamp bead die bonding and wire bonding device. Background Technology
[0002] Die bonding and wire bonding of LED chips are critical processes in semiconductor packaging production, and their processing accuracy and efficiency directly affect the luminous efficacy, reliability, and production cost of the final product. In traditional production models or equipment with low levels of automation, these processes are usually completed on multiple independent or semi-integrated workstations.
[0003] Existing typical die bonding wire bonding equipment usually includes basic modules such as a material conveyor belt, positioning fixtures, a welding worktable, and a feeding mechanism. The workflow is roughly as follows: LED strip substrates are fed into the equipment via a conveyor belt, and are then pushed by cylinders or gripped by a robotic arm onto a fixed welding carrier; the carrier itself may have a vacuum suction function to fix the product, and then the welding head performs the work above it; after completion, another robotic arm removes the finished product and places it on the output line. Some more advanced equipment will have a separate quality inspection station in the output section.
[0004] However, existing technologies of this kind have a drawback: the transfer process of materials from high-speed conveying to precision welding positioning lacks adaptive, high-precision dynamic collaborative control. Specifically, the fixed positioning mechanism and the mobile support platform are rigidly coupled, unable to compensate in real time for micron-level positional drift caused by long-term operation, thermal deformation, or mechanical clearances. This often leads to positioning deviations during material handover, which may result in reduced production speed to ensure yield, or even serious quality problems such as material jams, product scratches, or wire bonding misalignment. This restricts further improvements in production speed and precision, and makes it difficult to meet the stringent consistency requirements of high-end LED products. Summary of the Invention

Detailed Implementation
[0036] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings, examples of which are illustrated in the drawings. When the following description relates to the drawings, unless otherwise indicated, the same numbers in different drawings represent the same or identical elements.
[0037] Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0038] The specific implementation of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0039] Example 1: This example provides an LED bead die bonding and wire bonding device, including a workstation 1. The workstation 1 serves as a stable mounting base, with a housing 11 mounted on top, forming a closed or semi-closed working environment. An automated platform 12 is installed inside the housing 11, serving as the mounting base for all functional modules.
[0040] On the platform of the automated base 12, an inlet unit 2, a work-bearing unit 6, and an output unit 7 are arranged sequentially along the material handling flow direction. The inlet unit 2 is located at the input end of the automated base 12, and its core is the input conveyor belt 3, which is used to continuously feed the carrier board loaded with LED light strips to be processed into the device. A light pressing unit 4 is provided at the end of the input conveyor belt 3. The light pressing unit 4 specifically includes a light pressing bracket 41 fixed to the automated base 12 or its own support. A rotatable rotating shaft 42 is mounted on the light pressing bracket 41 via bearings. A long strip-shaped cover plate 43 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 42. The free end of the cover plate 43 faces the material feeding direction of the input conveyor belt 3 and can be controlled by a drive mechanism to rotate downward around the rotating shaft 42, finally gently covering the belt surface of the input conveyor belt 3 with its pressing surface.
[0041] The work support unit 6 is located in the central area of the automated base 12, directly above the working heads of welding tools such as die bonders and wire bonders. This unit is the core of the device, used to receive, precisely position, and securely support the LED light strips to be processed. The work support unit 6 includes a fixed support base 62 and a work support component 61 that is finely adjustable and movable on it. The work support component 61 further includes a rectangular support frame 611, with a dedicated carrier 612 mounted on the top of the support frame 611. The upper surface of the carrier 612 is a flat work adsorption surface 613 with micropores, which is connected to several adsorption joints 614 located on the side of the carrier 612 via vacuum lines, generating negative pressure to adsorb and fix the LED light strip substrate. Sliding blocks 615 are fixed on both sides of the bottom of the support frame 611. A horizontal plate 63 is mounted on the support base 62, and two parallel fine-tuning tracks 64 are precisely mounted on the upper surface of the plate 63. The sliding block 615 at the bottom of the work support 61 is precisely fitted onto the two fine-tuning tracks 64, allowing the entire work support 61 to slide along the track direction. A fine-tuning motor 65 is installed at one end of the support base 62. The fine-tuning motor 65 drives a fine-tuning motion belt 66 via a belt or synchronous belt, and the bottom of the support frame 611 is fixedly connected to the surface of the fine-tuning motion belt 66. Therefore, activating the fine-tuning motor 65 drives the work support 61 to perform precise lateral position adjustment along the fine-tuning tracks 64.
[0042] A positioning component 5 is installed at the critical connection point between the light pressure unit 4 and the work-bearing unit 6. The positioning component 5 includes a positioning base 51 fixed to the automation base 12, on which a height adjuster 52 (such as a precision lead screw module) is vertically mounted. The movable end of the height adjuster 52 is connected to a lifting support plate 53, and a positioning block 54 is horizontally mounted at the end of the lifting support plate 53. The bottom surface of the positioning block 54 is inlaid with a flexible contact piece 55 (such as silicone or engineering plastic). The lifting height of the positioning block 54 can be precisely controlled by the height adjuster 52.
[0043] A fine-tuning distance sensor 67 is integrated on the work carrier unit 6. This sensor is mounted on the outer side of one side edge of the support frame 611 of the work carrier 61. The fine-tuning distance sensor 67 includes an L-shaped sensor base 671, the horizontal portion of which is fixed to the carrier base 62. A signal processor 672 is mounted at the center of the vertical portion of the sensor base 671. Symmetrically mounted on both sides of the signal processor 672 are forward-facing probe brackets 673, each probe bracket 673 having a distance probe 674 (such as a high-precision laser rangefinder or capacitive proximity sensor) mounted at its end. The probe ends of these two distance probes 674 extend inward and are aligned (non-contact) with the inner edges of the front and rear sides of the support frame 611, respectively, for real-time, high-precision measurement of the lateral movement distance of the support frame 611 (i.e., the work carrier 61) relative to its initial or target position.
[0044] Output unit 7 is located at the output end of automation base 12. The main body of output unit 7 is a linear module or guide rail slide, on which an output carrier 8 is slidably mounted. The structure of output carrier 8 can be similar to that of work carrier 61, and its upper surface is provided with an output adsorption surface 81 for adsorbing and fixing the welded LED light strips. On the side of work carrier unit 6, a multi-degree-of-freedom turnover robot 9 is installed, and its end effector is usually a vacuum suction cup or mechanical gripper.
[0045] On the automated base 12, next to the output unit 7, a handling robot 10 is also installed. The side wall of the equipment housing 11 has an output port, and an export platform 13 is fixed to the outside of the output port. The range of motion of the handling robot 10 can cover the output carrier 8 and the export platform 13.
[0046] The working process begins at the inlet unit 2. LED light strips are placed on the input conveyor belt 3 and transported into the device along the belt. When the light strip reaches the end of the conveyor belt and is about to enter the work carrier unit 6 area, the process is triggered. First, the fine-tuning motor 65, according to a preset program or instruction, drives the work carrier 61 to move along the fine-tuning track 64 to a receiving position precisely aligned with the end of the input conveyor belt 3. Next, the carrier 612 on the work carrier 61 initiates vacuum adsorption, preparing to receive the material. Simultaneously, the height adjuster 52 of the positioning component 5 activates, driving the positioning block 54 to descend to a preset height. Its bottom contact piece 55 gently presses against the front edge of the LED light strip, which has just moved into position, achieving initial longitudinal stopping and positioning. Almost simultaneously, the cover plate 43 of the light pressure unit 4 rotates downwards, gently pressing against the rear area of the LED light strip to prevent it from tilting or sliding during transfer. At this time, the input conveyor belt 3 may pause briefly or continue running slowly. Under the stop of the positioning block 54 and the light pressure of the closing plate 43, the LED light strip is precisely pushed onto the working adsorption surface 613 of the working carrier 61 and is firmly adsorbed. Subsequently, the positioning block 54 is lifted, the closing plate 43 rotates and opens, and the input conveyor belt 3 resumes operation, preparing for the next cycle.
[0047] After the light strip is fixed to the working support 61, the fine-tuning motor 65 can again precisely drive the working support 61, moving it to the precise processing coordinates below the wire bonding machine's working head. Throughout the fine-tuning movement, the fine-tuning distance sensor 67 operates continuously. Its two side distance detectors 674 non-contactly measure the actual displacement of the side edge of the support frame 611 and transmit the data to the signal processor 672 in real time. The signal processor 672 processes the data and feeds back the processed precise position information to the device's main controller. This information is not only used for the closed-loop position control of the fine-tuning motor 65, but more importantly, the main controller will coordinate the pressing timing of the light pressure unit 4 covering the pressure plate 43 and the pressing height and timing of the positioning component 5 positioning block 54 in the next working cycle based on the current precise position of the working support 61, ensuring that they can adaptively match the positional changes of the working support 61 and achieve dynamic and precise docking.
[0048] After the welding process is completed, the work carrier 61 can be moved to a fixed handover position. The turnover robot 9 starts, moves its end effector above the work carrier 61, picks up the completed LED light strip, and then moves laterally to place the light strip on the output suction surface 81 of the output carrier 8, which has been moved into place. After the output carrier 8 picks up the light strip, it slides along the track of the output unit 7 and transports it to a fixed unloading position. The handling robot 10 then moves to remove the LED light strip from the output carrier 8 and places it smoothly on the export platform 13 outside the equipment, completing a full production cycle.
[0049] The core technical principle of this embodiment lies in the closed-loop control logic of "perception-decision-coordination". The fine-tuning distance sensor 67, acting as a high-precision "sensing organ", monitors the position of the core moving platform, the work carrier 61, in real time. Due to potential micron-level hysteresis in mechanical transmission or drift caused by thermal expansion, the actual stopping position of the work carrier 61 after each movement is not absolutely constant. In traditional equipment, the fixed mechanism of subsequent processes and the moving platform are rigidly coupled, which can easily lead to docking failure or material damage due to positional deviations. This invention digitizes the position variable by introducing the fine-tuning distance sensor 67 and the signal processor 672. The signal processor 672, acting as a "nerve node", not only processes data but also converts it into control commands. The main controller, acting as the "decision center", dynamically calculates and adjusts the action parameters of the actuators of the light pressure unit 4 and the positioning component 5 based on real-time position data. This allows the light pressure and positioning actions to adaptively follow the positional changes of the work carrier 61, forming a flexible and intelligent collaborative working system, rather than a fixed, sequential combination of mechanical actions.
[0050] Example 2 includes all the structures of Example 1. Based on this, the functions of output unit 7 and its surrounding components are expanded.
[0051] The structure of the output carrier 8 is specifically designed to have an output adsorption surface 81 that functions similarly to the working adsorption surface 613, ensuring that the LED light strip remains stably adsorbed during transfer and subsequent processing, preventing displacement or damage to the precision bonding wire due to movement or processing actions.
[0052] A wire bonding detector 71 is fixedly installed on one side of the track of the output unit 7. The wire bonding detector 71 mainly includes a vertical detector bracket 72, which spans above the track of the output unit 7, forming a gate-like structure. A long strip-shaped cursor mounting plate 73 is fixed on the crossbeam of the detector bracket 72. On the cursor mounting plate 73, along the movement direction of the output carrier 8, several detection cursors 74 are arranged in high density. These detection cursors 74 can be lasers that emit parallel beams of specific wavelengths, or they can be spot projectors composed of high-brightness LED point light sources and precision optical lenses. The optical axes of all detection cursors 74 are vertically downward, forming a precise array of spot patterns with known spacing on the movement plane of the output carrier 8.
[0053] On the other side of the output unit 7 track (opposite to the wire bonding detector 71), an auxiliary equipment rack 14 is fixedly mounted on the automation base 12. The auxiliary equipment rack 14 is a robust frame structure. On its upper part, a vision detector 15 is mounted, which typically includes an industrial camera, lens, and ring light source, with its field of view aimed at the solder joint area of the LED light strip carried on the output carrier 8 passing below.
[0054] On the auxiliary equipment rack 14, below the vision detector 15, a liftable post-processing mechanism is also installed. Specifically, a lifting platform 16 is provided, and a long, narrow curing blower 17 is installed on the top platform of the lifting platform 16. Two sets of equipment with different functions are installed side by side on the curing blower 17: a blower 18 and a curing cooler 19. It is worth noting that these two devices are not at the same horizontal level, but are arranged in an inclined, stepped manner. Specifically, the blower 18 (integrating an ionizing air bar and a precision nozzle) is installed at a higher position, with its air outlet tilted downwards, but at a large working distance (e.g., 50-100 mm) from the light strip on the output adsorption surface 81, to blow out high-pressure, clean ionizing air to remove micro-dust and static electricity that may be generated during the wire bonding process. The curing air cooler 19 (typically a low-temperature air knife using semiconductor or eddy tube cooling) is installed at a lower position, with its outlet almost touching the surface of the LED strip on the output adsorption surface 81 (e.g., 5-15 mm). It sprays a low-temperature, dry airflow onto the solder joint area of the completed LED strip, accelerating the crystallization and curing process of the solder joint metal and aiding in heat dissipation. The turnover positioning sensor 68 of the work-bearing unit 6 is structurally and functionally connected to this embodiment. Its sensor base 681 has a sensing beam frame 682 spanning the intersection path between the work-bearing component 61 and the output-bearing component 8, sensing the positioning status of both and providing precise gripping and placement trigger signals for the turnover robot 9.
[0055] After the transfer robot 9 transfers the welded LED light strip from the working carrier 61 to the output carrier 8, the output carrier 8 begins to move step by step along the track of the output unit 7 in the output direction. The work process then enters the output detection and processing stage.
[0056] First, the output carrier 8 carries the LED strip at a constant speed beneath the wire bonding detector 71. As it passes, a row of detection cursors 74 emits vertical beams of light that illuminate the surface of the LED strip. Operators or machine vision systems can directly observe the reflection of these light spots on the bonding wire (usually tiny gold or alloy wires) through an observation window on the side of the device or via an auxiliary monitoring camera. Because intact bonding wires have regular, smooth, curved surfaces, they produce clear, continuous reflective stripes on the light spots; while bonding wires with defects such as breaks, warping, or insufficient curvature will cause the reflective stripes to be interrupted, distorted, or disappear. This optical reflection detection method provides operators with a fast and intuitive online initial screening method.
[0057] Subsequently, the output carrier 8 moves to directly below the vision detector 15 and pauses. The vision detector 15 is activated, its ring light source illuminates the solder joint area, and the industrial camera takes a high-resolution picture. The acquired image is transmitted to the image processing system, which automatically analyzes the shape, size, position, and the height and span of the solder joint arc using pre-set algorithms (such as contour extraction, size measurement, and position comparison) to determine whether it meets the process standards, thus achieving automated and precise quality inspection.
[0058] After visual inspection, the output carrier 8 continues to the post-processing station. The lifting platform 16 adjusts the overall height of the curing blower 17 to the optimal position according to the thickness of the LED strip or process requirements. First, the LED strip passes under the blower 18, where the high-speed clean ion air sprayed by the blower 18 thoroughly sweeps across the surface of the strip, effectively removing particles adsorbed in previous processes and eliminating static electricity to prevent secondary dust adsorption. Next, the LED strip comes to the curing cooler 19, where a low-temperature air knife close to the strip forces cooling at the solder joint area. This stepped layout ensures that high-flow blowing and precise point cooling do not interfere with each other; the wide-range airflow of the blower does not excessively affect the temperature and flow field stability of the subsequent cooling air, while the close-range spray of the cooling air achieves optimal heat exchange efficiency. After blowing and cooling, the output quality of the LED strip is further improved. Finally, the output carrier 8 delivers the processed LED strip to the unloading position, where it is removed by the handling robot 10.
[0059] This embodiment designs a wire bonding detector 71 that utilizes the principle of regular reflection optics on the surface of intact metal wires, providing a low-cost, real-time method for screening macroscopic defects, serving as the first rapid checkpoint in quality control. The vision detector 15 employs digital image processing technology to achieve precise quantitative detection of microscopic dimensions. The combination of the two constitutes a three-dimensional detection system from macroscopic to microscopic. In post-processing, a creative "dust removal followed by rapid cooling" stepped spatial layout design is adopted. The principle lies in separating the functional areas of two airflows: blowing requires a certain distance to form a wide-coverage, uniformly sized flow field to achieve overall cleaning; while curing and cooling require the airflow to closely adhere to the solder joint surface to maximize the convective heat transfer coefficient and achieve rapid cooling. Separating the two vertically (stepped) and arranging them sequentially in the horizontal flow direction avoids mutual interference between airflows and achieves close connection between processes, efficiently completing two important post-processing steps within a limited space.
[0060] Example 3: Based on the high integration of Example 2, this example further introduces a data feedback and process optimization mechanism, enabling the device to evolve from automated execution to intelligent decision-making, forming an intelligent production node with self-optimization capabilities.
[0061] The signal processor 672 of the fine-tuning distance sensor 67, the data output terminal of the wire bonding detector 71, the image processing system of the vision detector 15, and even the signal from the turnover positioning sensor 68 are all connected to a higher-level central process controller. This central process controller has the ability to store data, analyze, and optimize process parameters. The control terminals of actuators such as the fine-tuning motor 65 driver of the work-bearing unit 6, the drive solenoid valve or servo controller of the light pressure unit 4, and the height adjuster 52 driver of the positioning component 5 are also under the unified management and command issuance of this central process controller. On the auxiliary equipment rack 14, a higher resolution camera or multispectral light source can be added to the vision detector 15 to obtain richer information on the weld joint morphology.
[0062] The working process of this embodiment is similar to that of Embodiment 2 in the first half, but it incorporates a loop of data acquisition, analysis, and feedback optimization. After the device is started, it runs according to the predetermined process parameters. In each production cycle, the fine-tuning distance sensor 67 continuously records the actual position trajectory data of the work carrier 61; after the vision detector 15 takes a picture of each completed LED light strip, it not only outputs a "pass / fail" judgment, but also uploads key quantitative data (such as the actual coordinates of each weld point, weld arc height, weld ball diameter, etc.) to the central process controller.
[0063] The central process controller establishes a database indexed by production batch or time series. It not only records data, but based on this deep correlation analysis, the central process controller can perform optimization in two modes: First, a real-time compensation mode: if a slow, trending drift in the platform position fed back by the fine-tuning distance sensor 67 is detected (e.g., due to thermal expansion), the controller can proactively add a reverse compensation amount to the control command of the fine-tuning motor 65 before it accumulates to a threshold affecting positioning, achieving active temperature drift compensation. Second, a process parameter adaptive adjustment mode: when analysis reveals an increase in a certain defect rate and a strong correlation with a certain motion parameter (e.g., the acceleration or deceleration of the work support 61 when moving to the welding point), the controller can automatically fine-tune this motion parameter in subsequent production (e.g., reducing acceleration to reduce vibration), observe whether the defect rate improves, and thus find a better combination of process parameters under the current production conditions.
[0064] For post-processing of the output unit, the central process controller can intelligently adjust the outlet temperature or air volume of the curing cooler 19 based on the solder joint size and shape information fed back by the vision detector 15. For example, if the detected solder joint is too large, the cooling intensity can be appropriately increased to accelerate the solidification speed, refine the grains, and improve the mechanical properties of the solder joint.
[0065] It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that the present invention is not limited to the details of the exemplary embodiments described above, and that the invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description. Thus, it is intended that all variations falling within the meaning and scope of equivalents of the claims be included within the present invention.
[0066] Furthermore, it should be understood that although this specification describes embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution. This narrative style is merely for clarity. Those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that can be understood by those skilled in the art.
