Detailed implementation manners
[0019] The following further elaborates on this application in conjunction with Figures 1-4 the attached drawings.
[0020] The embodiment of this application discloses a device for measuring the dimensions of a lead frame product in etching production. Referring to Figures 1-4 , a device for measuring the dimensions of a lead frame product in etching production includes an etching machine 1. In the middle of the top end of the etching machine 1, a fixed inner cavity 2 is opened. A number of support rollers 3 are movably installed inside the fixed inner cavity 2. The lead frame body 4 is placed on the upper surface of the support rollers 3. In the middle of the bottom end inner wall of the fixed inner cavity 2, an irradiation light source 5 is installed. At the middle position of the upper surface of the etching machine 1, a fixed frame 6 is fixedly installed. On both side edges of the inner wall of the fixed frame 6, fixed guide rails 15 are symmetrically welded. Inside the fixed frame 6, a movable plate 11 is movably installed on the outer surface of the fixed guide rails 15. On both side edges of the movable plate 11, card slots are symmetrically opened. On one side of the outer surface of the fixed guide rail 15, it is located in the card slot, and the fixed guide rail 15 and the card slot are mutually engaged. At the middle of the bottom end of the movable plate 11, a color CCD device 12 is installed. The color CCD device 12 refers to a charge-coupled device, which is a semiconductor device used for optical imaging and signal acquisition. The color CCD device 12 is composed of many charge-coupled devices. The color CCD device 12 uses the energy of photons to excite electrons on the semiconductor surface and convert them into charges, and then transmits these charges to one end of the chip for signal reading. This device can convert optical signals into electrical signals and store or transmit them in digital form. On the bottom surface of the color CCD device 12, a high-power lens 13 is fixedly installed. Inside the fixed frame 6, there is also a sliding mechanism for adjusting the placement position of the movable plate 11 in the fixed frame 6.
[0021] The lead frame body 4 is placed on the upper surface of the etching machine 1, transported by a plurality of support rollers 3 and etched, so that the lead frame body 4 moves through the fixing frame 6, and the color CCD device 12 cooperates with the high-power lens 13 to measure the contour of the lead frame body 4 passing through. The contour image of the lead frame product photographed by the color CCD device 12 is processed by a measurement program to obtain the size data of the specified position of the product, and the size data is transmitted to the independently developed computer software, and a communication connection is established between the computer software and the PLC controller of the etching machine 1. When the computer software records the received size data, it also reads and records the relevant production parameters of the etching machine 1. Finally, the computer software The software integrates the received and read data, and presents the trend of dimensional data changes in the form of Excel charts. When the computer software finds that the measured product dimensional data is abnormal, it can output instructions to the PLC controller of the etching machine 1. The computer software calculates the measured product dimensional data. If ten consecutive measured values exceed the control range, it is judged as NG, triggering the etching machine 1 alarm; if the calculated average value of the product dimensional data differs from the set target value by more than 0.001mm, the production speed of the etching machine 1 is adjusted by 0.02m / min; if the calculated average value of the product dimensional data differs from the set target value by more than 0.003mm, the production speed of the etching machine 1 is adjusted by 0.03m / min.
[0022] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 3 The sliding mechanism includes a bidirectional screw rod 7, which is rotatably installed at the top of one side of the inner wall of the fixed frame 6, and a servo motor 8 is installed at one side of the bidirectional screw rod 7 extending to the outside of the fixed frame 6. Moving parts 9 are movably installed on both sides of the outer surface of the bidirectional screw rod 7. A threaded hole is opened through the middle of one side of the moving part 9, and external threads with opposite thread patterns are opened on both sides of the outer surface of the bidirectional screw rod 7. The bidirectional screw rod 7 and the threaded hole are adapted to each other. A connecting rotating plate 10 is rotatably installed at the middle of the bottom end of the moving part 9, and the bottom of one side of the connecting rotating plate 10 is rotatably connected to the middle position of the upper surface of the moving plate 11. A guide support rod 14 is fixedly installed at the top of the fixed frame 6 near the top of the bidirectional screw rod 7, and a through hole is opened through the top of one side of the moving part 9. One side of the outer surface of the guide support rod 14 is located inside the through hole, and the guide support rod 14 and the through hole are coupled to each other.
[0023] By starting the servo motor 8 to drive the bidirectional lead screw 7 to rotate, the bidirectional lead screw 7 rotates to adjust the distance between the two movable parts 9, and then the movable part 9 drives the connecting rotating plate 10 to rotate, and the connecting rotating plate 10 rotates to drive the movable plate 11 to move up and down, thereby adjusting the distance between the high-power lens 13 and the lead frame body 4, and obtaining a clear lead frame product outline by adjusting the high-power lens 13 magnification, the height of the color CCD device 12, the brightness of the irradiation light source 5, etc., which reflects the position adjustment effect of the color CCD device 12 and the high-power lens 13.
[0024] The implementation principle of the device for measuring the dimensions of the lead frame product in the etching production in the embodiment of the present application is as follows: The lead frame body 4 is placed on the upper surface of the etching machine table 1, conveyed by multiple support rollers 3 and subjected to etching processing. The lead frame body 4 moves through the fixed frame 6. The color CCD device 12 cooperates with the high-power lens 13 to measure the product contour of the passing lead frame body 4. At the same time, the servo motor 8 is started to drive the bidirectional lead screw 7 to rotate. The input end of the power supply of the servo motor 8 is electrically connected to the output end of the external power supply, so that the bidirectional lead screw 7 rotates to adjust the distance between the two moving parts 9. At the same time, the guiding support rod 14 guides and supports the moving part 9, keeping the moving part 9 in a stable state during adjustment. Furthermore, the moving part 9 drives the connecting rotating plate 10 to rotate, and the rotation of the connecting rotating plate 10 drives the moving plate 11 to move up and down. The fixed guide rail 15 guides and supports the moving plate 11, keeping the moving plate 11 in a stable lifting state, and then adjusting the distance between the high-power lens 13 and the lead frame body 4. Compared with the prior art, this solution has the effect of facilitating the real-time monitoring of the lead frame body 4 during etching processing, reducing the overall error of the finished product during the processing of the lead frame body 4, solving the problem of increased scrap rate caused by abnormal product dimensions during etching production, and improving the overall etching production and processing efficiency of the lead frame body 4.
