[0034] Embodiment 1

[0035] Referring to Figure 1 and Figure 2 On the one hand, the present application provides a feeding module for lamp beads. The feeding module for lamp beads includes a feeding base 1 and a feeding structure 2 disposed on the feeding base 1. The feeding base 1 is used to support the feeding structure 2 and connect to other equipment or devices. In this embodiment, one end of the feeding base 1 in the length direction is connected to the mounter, and the other end of the feeding base 1 in the length direction is connected to the mechanical handling arm. The feeding structure 2 includes a feeding track 21 disposed on the feeding base 1. The length direction of the feeding track 21 is the same as the length direction of the feeding base 1. A plurality of feeding channels 211 are formed along the length direction of the feeding track 21. In this embodiment, there are eight feeding channels 211. It can be understood that the number of feeding channels 211 can be adjusted according to actual needs. There can be ten feeding channels 211 or fifteen feeding channels 211. The plurality of feeding channels 211 are parallel to each other and have a spacing. The spacing between the plurality of feeding channels 211 is the same as the spacing between each group of vacuum nozzles, and the spacing is 10 - 16 mm.

[0036] Referring to Figure 3 and Figure 6, in order to drive the lamp bead materials to move in the feeding channel 211, a number of driving components 22 are arranged along the length direction of the feeding track 21. There are at least two driving components 22. The driving component 22 includes a blowing bracket 221 arranged on the feeding track 21 and a blowing column 222 arranged on the blowing bracket 221. The number of the blowing columns 222 is the same as and corresponds one by one to the number of the feeding channels 211, and the blowing columns 222 face the feeding channels 211. The blowing columns 222 are connected to an external gas generating device, so as to continuously blow air into the feeding channels 211, thereby driving the lamp bead materials to move. In this embodiment, in order to prevent the lamp bead materials from falling out of the feeding channels 211, the feeding track 21 is provided with a closing cover plate 212. The closing cover plate 212 is cover-mounted on the feeding channels 211. The closing cover plate 212 is provided with a number of plate channels 2121. The plate channels 2121 are located above the feeding track 21, and the width of the plate channels 2121 is smaller than the width of the feeding track 21 so as to block the lamp bead materials. The blowing columns 222 pass through the plate channels 2121 and are located above the feeding channels 211. By such an arrangement, the moving position and moving condition of the lamp bead materials can be conveniently known through the plate channels 2121, and the lamp bead materials can be limited to prevent them from falling out.

[0037] Look back Figure 1 And Figure 2 , one end of the feeding channel 211 in the length direction is a material receiving end 2111, and the other end of the feeding channel 211 in the length direction is a material discharging end 2112. The lamp bead materials enter from the material receiving end 2111, are transported to the material discharging end 2112 and are taken away. To ensure efficiency, the number of the feeding channels 211 is generally at least eight. And for the convenience of manufacturing and debugging, the number of lamp bead materials transported by the external handling manipulator at one time does not exceed eight. Therefore, the handling manipulator needs to transport the lamp bead materials to each of the feeding channels 211 multiple times and evenly.

[0038] Refer to Figure 1 、 Figure 2 And Figure 4, To facilitate the docking of the feeding module, the feeding module further includes a transfer feeding structure 3 for cooperating with the handling manipulator. The transfer feeding structure 3 includes a transfer support 32 provided at the material receiving end 2111. The transfer support 32 is provided with a transfer guide rail 33. The length direction of the transfer guide rail 33 is perpendicular to the length direction of the feeding base 1. The transfer guide rail 33 is slidably connected with a transfer table 31. The transfer table 31 has a number of transfer discharging channels 311. The number of transfer discharging channels 311 is the same as and corresponds one by one to the number of feeding channels 211. The transfer discharging channels 311 are communicated with or offset from the feeding channels 211. The transfer discharging channels 311 are correspondingly provided with transfer nozzles 312 facing the feeding channels 211. At the same time, the feeding track 21 is further provided with a transfer connection block 213 for cooperating with the transfer feeding structure 3. The transfer connection block 213 is provided with a transfer positioning hole 2131 for placing materials. The transfer positioning hole 2131 is communicated with or offset from the transfer discharging channels 311.

[0039] In this embodiment, there are two transfer positioning holes 2131 and eight transfer discharging channels 311. Assuming that there are two bead materials transported each time, that is, it is necessary to transport the bead materials four times to fill the eight transfer discharging channels 311. In the initial state, the transfer guide rail 33 drives the transfer table 31 to move to the first limit position. At this time, the two transfer discharging channels 311 at the outermost edge of the transfer table 31 will be located below the transfer positioning holes 2131. Driven by the handling manipulator, two bead materials are placed into the transfer positioning holes 2131 and then fall into the transfer discharging channels 311. Subsequently, the transfer table 31 continues to move driven by the transfer module. The two transfer discharging channels 311 in the middle of the transfer table 31 will be located below the transfer positioning holes 2131. The handling manipulator performs the next handling to put two bead materials into the two transfer discharging channels 311 through the transfer positioning holes 2131. By repeating the above steps, the eight transfer discharging channels 311 can be filled with bead materials. And when the eight transfer discharging channels 311 are filled with bead materials, the eight transfer discharging channels 311 will be correspondingly communicated with the eight feeding channels 211 one by one. At this time, the transfer nozzles 312 eject gas, and the bead materials can be blown into the feeding channels 211 for transportation.

[0040] Refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5, in addition, since the lamp beads will continuously move towards the discharging end 2112, in order to prevent the lamp beads from being pushed out and dropped under the backlog of subsequent incoming materials, the discharging end 2112 is provided with a first discharging suction hole 2113 and a second discharging suction hole 2114. The first discharging suction hole 2113 is located at the bottom of the end of the discharging end 2112, and the second discharging suction hole 2114 is located on the side of the discharging end 2112. The first discharging suction hole 2113 and the second discharging suction hole 2114 are connected to an external vacuum generating device. When the lamp beads move to the discharging end 2112, the first discharging suction hole 2113 and the second discharging suction hole 2114 will evacuate and adsorb the lamp beads to fix the position of the lamp beads.

[0041] Look back Figure 1 And Figure 2 , at the same time, the feeding structure 2 further includes an induction component 23 for sensing the material situation. The induction component 23 includes an induction bracket 231 arranged on the feeding track 21. The induction bracket 231 is provided with a number of full-material sensors 232. The number of full-material sensors 232 is the same as and corresponds one-to-one to the number of feeding channels 211, and a number of full-material sensors 232 face the feeding channels 211. When the lamp beads accumulate continuously, the lamp beads will accumulate in the feeding channels 211. By continuously detecting the corresponding position segments of the feeding channels 211 through the full-material sensors 232, the accumulation situation of the lamp beads can be known, so as to facilitate the control of the feeding module.

[0042] In order to better drive and regulate the movement of the lamp beads, the feeding structure 2 further includes a vibration component 24 and an adjustment component 25. The vibration component 24 includes a discharging linear vibrator 241 arranged on the feeding base 1. The discharging linear vibrator 241 is simultaneously attached and installed on the side of the feeding track 21 away from the feeding channel 211, that is, the lower end surface of the feeding track 21. Driven by the discharging linear vibrator 241, the lamp beads will continuously move and be transported along the feeding track 21. The adjustment component 25 includes a pressure regulating valve and a speed regulating valve 251 arranged on the feeding base 1. The pressure regulating valve is communicated with a number of air blowing columns 222 of the driving component 22 to adjust the air pressure of the air blowing columns 222, and the speed regulating valve 251 is connected to the discharging linear vibrator 241 for adjusting the vibration speed of the discharging linear vibrator 241 to adjust the moving speed of the lamp beads on the feeding track 21.

[0043] In addition, the feeding base 1 is further provided with a connecting handle 11. The connecting handle 11 is arranged on the side of the feeding base 1 away from the feeding structure 2, and the connecting handle 11 is used to cooperate with the installation of other external devices or apparatuses such as a chip mounter.

[0044] Embodiment 2

[0045] On the other hand, the present application provides a chip mounter, which includes a chip mounting device and a feeding mechanism connected to the chip mounting device. The feeding mechanism is a feeding module for lamp beads as described above.

For the sake of brevity of description, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, it should be considered as the scope described in this specification.

[0047] The above-described embodiments only represent several implementation manners of the present application.
