Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of taping technology, and particularly to an SMD taping machine. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of the electronics industry, the use of surface mount devices (SMDs) has become increasingly widespread. As a key equipment for SMDs, the SMD taping machine is mainly used to place SMD components at specified intervals in a strip packaging material for subsequent automated chip placement processes. Most of the current SMD taping machines on the market use the reciprocating motion of a manipulator for grasping and placing operations. Although the design of this manipulator can meet the basic functions, it often faces the problem of low efficiency in actual applications.

[0003] The existing SMD taping machine technology mainly relies on the reciprocating motion of a robotic arm. Its working process generally includes the following steps: First, the manipulator grasps the unpackaged SMD components from the feeder, and then moves them to the taping position for placement. This process is usually achieved by controlling the robotic arm driven by a motor. The manipulator needs to pass through multiple preset path points during movement to ensure accurate placement positions. During the component grasping and placement process, the taping machine also needs to cooperate with the tape supply system to ensure that the tape moves forward at an appropriate speed and interval.

[0004] However, the existing technical solutions have significant defects. Due to the low efficiency of the reciprocating motion of the manipulator, the cycle time in the production process is prolonged, thereby reducing the overall production efficiency. It cannot meet the production capacity requirements in a high-volume environment, and the long-term reciprocating motion of the manipulator will cause a decrease in accuracy, increase the maintenance frequency and downtime, further affecting the production efficiency. Therefore, it is urgent to improve the existing technology to enhance its performance. Summary of the Utility Model

[0032] Next, the embodiments of the present application will be described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments.

[0033] It should be noted that when a component is considered to be "connected" to another component, it can be directly connected to the other component or there may be an intermediate component at the same time. When a component is considered to be "provided on" another component, it can be directly provided on the other component or there may be an intermediate component at the same time. The terms "top", "bottom", "upper", "lower", "left", "right", "front", "rear", and similar expressions used herein are only for the purpose of illustration.

[0034] An embodiment of the present application provides an SMD taping machine, including a base and a taping assembly. The taping assembly is provided on the base, and the taping assembly is used for conveying and collecting tapes. The taping machine further includes:

[0035] A feeding assembly, including a material storage tray and a conveyor track communicating with the material storage tray, for conveying SMD components;

[0036] A gripping mechanism, including a rotating assembly and a gripping assembly. The rotating assembly includes a motor and a rotating member fixedly connected to the motor. The motor is provided in the base, and a part of the rotating member extends out of the base and is rotatably connected to the base.

[0037] The gripping assembly is fixedly connected to the rotating member, and the gripping assembly is used for gripping the SMD components in the conveyor track and putting them into the tape for winding.

[0038] After introducing the rotating component into the SMD taping machine provided above, the SMD taping machine can continuously grasp SMD components from the feeding component by rotating, replacing the reciprocating motion of the traditional manipulator. This significantly shortens the time for component grasping and placement, thereby improving the overall production efficiency. The stable rotation of the rotating component reduces the vibration and instability caused by reciprocating motion, ensuring the smoothness of the grasping process. The introduction of the rotating component makes the grasping action more stable, reducing mechanical wear. This improves the reliability and economy of the production line.

[0039] The following will describe in detail some embodiments of the present application with reference to the accompanying drawings. Without conflict, the following embodiments and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0040] Please refer to Figures 1-7 , an embodiment of the present application provides an SMD taping machine 100, including a base 10 and a taping component. The taping component is arranged on the base 10 and is used for conveying and collecting tapes. The taping machine further includes:

[0041] A feeding component 20, including a storage tray 21 and a transfer track 22 communicating with the storage tray 21, is used for transferring SMD components.

[0042] A grasping mechanism 30, including a rotating component 31 and a grasping component 32. The rotating component 31 includes a motor 311 and a rotating part 312 fixedly connected to the motor 311. The motor 311 is arranged inside the base 10, and a part of the rotating part 312 extends out of the base 10 and is rotatably connected to the base 10.

[0043] The grasping component 32 is fixedly connected to the rotating part 312 and is used for grasping the SMD components in the transfer track 22 and placing them into the tape for winding.

[0044] Specifically, the base 10 is the basic structure of the entire SMD taping machine and is used to support all other components. Its function is to provide a stable and firm installation platform for the feeding component 20, the grasping mechanism 30, and the rotating component 31. The taping component is arranged on the base 10 and is used for transporting and collecting the SMD components that have been taped. Its main function is to convey the tape after the components are placed and complete the winding process.

[0045] Furthermore, the feeding component 20 includes a storage tray 21 and a transfer track 22. The storage tray 21 is used for temporarily storing SMD components, and the transfer track 22 is used for transporting the components to the working area of the grasping mechanism 30 for grasping. The feeding component 20 realizes continuous and automated component transfer, without manual intervention, reducing the operation cost and human error. In addition, automatic feeding ensures the continuity of production, avoids downtime, and improves the overall production efficiency.

[0046] Preferably, the feeding assembly 20 is a vibrating plate, which arranges the scattered SMD components into a uniform direction through its vibration mechanism, and gradually transports them to the conveying track 22. The vibrating plate is usually used to orderly deliver the components from the storage tray 21 for subsequent grasping, testing and taping operations. The vibrating feeding mechanism of the moving plate can effectively avoid component jamming or misalignment, and ensure that each component is evenly and continuously transported to the grasping position. This not only improves the efficiency of feeding, but also reduces problems such as blockage or repeated feeding that may occur during the feeding process.

[0047] Furthermore, the grabbing mechanism 30 includes a rotating assembly 31 and a grabbing assembly 32, which are responsible for grabbing SMD components from the conveying track 22 and placing them into the braid. The rotating assembly 31 includes a motor 311 and a rotating member 312, and the motor 311 is installed in the base 10 to drive the rotating member 312 to rotate. The grabbing assembly 32 is fixed on the rotating member 312 to achieve a continuous rotating grabbing action. Compared with the traditional reciprocating grabbing mechanism 30, the rotating assembly 31 significantly improves the efficiency and reduces the dwell time of the mechanical movement. Through the rotating action, the grabbing process is smoother, the grabbing speed is accelerated, the mechanical wear caused by the reciprocating motion is reduced, and the service life of the equipment is increased.

[0048] In summary, through the design of this technical solution, the SMD taping machine has a high level of automation and production efficiency, especially its rotary grabbing mechanism 30 replaces the traditional reciprocating motion mode, reduces mechanical wear and improves the grabbing speed and accuracy. In addition, the cooperation of the feeding component 20, the grabbing mechanism 30 and the taping component enables the whole machine to achieve continuous and efficient automated production, which is very suitable for large-scale and high-efficiency production environments in the electronic component manufacturing industry.

[0049] In a specific embodiment, the rotating member 312 includes a fixed portion 3121 and a rotating portion 3122, one end of the rotating portion 3122 is disposed on the motor 311, and the other end is fixedly connected to the geometric center of the fixed portion 3121;

[0050] The fixing portion 3121 is provided with a plurality of fixing holes 3121 a , and the plurality of fixing holes 3121 a are arranged in a circle on the fixing portion 3121 , and each of the grabbing components 32 is arranged in each of the fixing holes 3121 a .

[0051] Specifically, the main function of the rotating part 3122 is to transmit the rotational power of the motor 311 to the fixed part 3121. One end of the rotating part 3122 is mechanically fixed to the motor 311, and the rotation of the motor 311 will drive the rotating part 3122 to rotate together. The other end of the rotating part 3122 is fixedly connected to the geometric center of the fixed part 3121 to ensure that the power can be evenly transmitted to the entire fixed part 3121, thereby driving the rotational movement of the grasping component 32. The fixed part 3121 serves to support the grasping component 32. It takes the geometric center of the rotating part 3122 as the fulcrum and evenly distributes a plurality of fixing holes 3121a for installing the grasping component 32. Its design can ensure that the grasping component 32 remains stable during rotation and avoid deviation.

[0052] Furthermore, the rotating part 3122 precisely transmits the rotational movement of the motor 311 to the fixed part 3121, realizing the continuous rotational movement of the grasping component 32. This continuity effectively replaces the traditional reciprocating grasping, greatly improving the grasping efficiency. The fixed part 3121 ensures the symmetry and balance of the grasping component 32 during rotation through the design of the geometric center, avoiding vibrations or errors caused by uneven rotation, and ensuring the stability and grasping accuracy of the system. The rotary grasping mechanism 30 allows the grasping component 32 to continuously perform grasping and releasing actions, only needing to be synchronized with the conveying track 22 during rotation, reducing the waiting time. This enables each component to be processed in the shortest time, improving the efficiency.

[0053] In a specific embodiment, the grasping mechanism 30 further includes a negative pressure component 33. The negative pressure component 33 includes a negative pressure generator 331 and air pipes 332. Both ends of each air pipe 332 are connected to each grasping component 32 and the negative pressure generator 331. The negative pressure generator 331 is disposed between the fixed part 3121 and the rotating part 3122 for generating negative pressure to grasp SMD components.

[0054] Specifically, the core function of the negative pressure component 33 is to generate an adsorption force through negative pressure (i.e., the pressure is lower than the ambient air pressure) to grasp SMD components. The negative pressure generator 331 generates negative pressure, and the air pipes 332 conduct the negative pressure to each grasping component 32, thereby adsorbing the SMD components through the suction nozzles or suction cups on the grasping component 32. Compared with mechanical grasping (such as the way of clamping jaws), negative pressure adsorption has the characteristics of not damaging the components, fast action, and being suitable for small and precision components, and is particularly applicable in the processing of SMD components that require high-precision operations.

[0055] Furthermore, the negative pressure generator 331 is located between the fixed portion 3121 and the rotating portion 3122, which facilitates the conduction of the airflow and combines with the rotational motion to achieve synchronous grasping. Through this position arrangement, the negative pressure generator 331 can maintain a stable negative pressure supply while the rotating portion 3122 is operating, thereby continuously performing the grasping action. This design ensures the continuity and stability of the negative pressure supply of the grasping mechanism 30 during the rotation process, and avoids the problem of negative pressure fluctuations or disconnection due to movement during the rotation process. By ensuring the effective conduction of negative pressure while rotating, the reliability during high-speed grasping is ensured.

[0056] Furthermore, the negative pressure generator 331 controls the flow of gas through the solenoid valve to achieve the action of adsorption and grasping. The solenoid valve can accurately control the inflow and outflow of gas, thereby adjusting the adsorption and degassing state of the grasping component 32. In the electrical control system, it can realize remote or automatic operation and quickly respond to the control signal. Through the use of the solenoid valve, the grasping mechanism 30 can quickly switch the adsorption and release states, thereby improving the efficiency and response speed of the entire grasping process. In addition, the automatic control of the solenoid valve can reduce manual intervention, reduce operating errors, and improve production safety and reliability.

[0057] In a specific embodiment, the gripping mechanism 30 also includes a guide member 34, which includes a guide column 341 and a pressing portion 342. The pressing portion 342 is arranged on the gripping component 32 and is provided with a guide hole 342a. The guide column 341 is fixedly connected to the fixing portion 3121 in a vertical direction and partially extends into the guide hole 342a to prevent the gripping component 32 from being offset.

[0058] Specifically, the guide member 34 is mainly composed of a guide column 341 and a pressing portion 342, which serves as a support and stabilizing structure for the grab assembly 32. The guide member 34 ensures the smooth movement of the grab assembly 32 in the vertical direction, and prevents deviation or tilting during the grabbing process due to lateral force or unstable mechanical structure. The guide column 341 serves as a support and guide rail for vertical movement, ensuring that the grab assembly 32 moves up and down smoothly along a fixed path during movement, avoiding any lateral shaking or deviation.

[0059] Furthermore, the pressing portion 342 cooperates with the guide column 341 to achieve precise positioning of the grabbing assembly 32 during the grabbing action. The force applied to the pressing portion 342 during the grabbing process is transmitted to the guide column 341, so that the grabbing assembly 32 remains stable in the vertical direction. The guide hole 342a forms a path in the pressing portion 342, so that the grabbing assembly 32 is accurately guided in the direction of the guide column 341 when moving up and down to prevent deviation. It ensures that the grabbing assembly 32 always moves along the predetermined vertical trajectory.

[0060] Furthermore, each grabbing assembly 32 is provided with a pressing piece (not shown in the figure), which can provide a downward force to make the grabbing assembly 32 move up and down along the direction of the guide column 341. After the grabbing instruction is issued, the pressing piece applies pressure to make the grabbing assembly 32 move downward along the direction of the guide column 341. When the grabbing assembly 32 descends to the target component position, the negative pressure assembly 33 is activated to achieve the grabbing of the SMD component by adsorption. The rotating mechanism moves the grabbed component to the specified position, and the pressing piece applies pressure again, and the grabbing assembly 32 descends along the direction of the guide column 341 to accurately place the component in the braid. The negative pressure assembly 33 releases the adsorption to complete the placement of the component.

[0061] In a specific embodiment, the grabbing assembly 32 includes a grabbing arm 321, a stopper 322 and an elastic member 323. The grabbing arm 321 extends into the fixing hole 3121a and communicates with the air pipe 332. The stopper 322 is disposed on the grabbing arm 321 and abuts against a side of the fixing portion 3121 away from the pressing portion 342.

[0062] The elastic member 323 is sleeved on the guide post 341 , and one end of the elastic member 323 abuts against the pressing portion 342 , and the other end abuts against the fixing portion 3121 .

[0063] Specifically, the grabbing arm 321 is the core execution part of the grabbing assembly 32. The grabbing arm 321 extends into the fixing hole 3121a and is connected to the air pipe 332, which plays the role of transmitting negative pressure, thereby adsorbing and grabbing the SMD components. The connection between the grabbing arm 321 and the air pipe 332 ensures the smooth implementation of negative pressure adsorption. The grabbing arm 321 can efficiently and accurately complete the grabbing of SMD components. The design of extending into the fixing hole 3121a ensures the accuracy of the grabbing action and ensures that the grabbing arm 321 can be stable and reliable during repeated grabbing. Through the connection with the air pipe 332, the grabbing arm 321 can quickly generate suction and improve work efficiency.

[0064] Furthermore, the limiter 322 is arranged on the grabbing arm 321 and abuts against the side of the fixing part 3121 away from the pressing part 342. Its main function is to limit the moving range of the grabbing arm 321, prevent the grabbing arm 321 from exceeding the set range, and ensure that it can accurately locate, grab and place the SMD components. The elastic member 323 is sleeved on the guide column 341, one end of which abuts against the pressing part 342, and the other end abuts against the fixing part 3121. The main function of the elastic member 323 is to provide a reverse elastic force after the grabbing assembly 32 completes the action, so that the grabbing arm 321 can rebound to the initial position. The rebound force of the elastic member 323 can ensure that the grabbing arm 321 quickly returns to the original position after grabbing the component, which is convenient for the execution of the next grabbing action. This design ensures the smooth operation of the equipment in high-frequency operations and improves the overall work efficiency. The elastic member 323 also has a shock-absorbing effect, which can reduce the wear on the mechanical structure during the rapid grabbing process.

[0065] In a specific embodiment, the grabbing arm 321 includes a connecting rod 321a and a grabbing head 321b, and the connecting rod 321a and the grabbing head 321b are both provided with mutually connected gas channels, and the gas channels are connected to the gas pipe 332;

[0066] The grabbing head 321b is made of rubber.

[0067] Specifically, the grabbing arm 321 is composed of a connecting rod 321a and a grabbing head 321b. The main function of the connecting rod 321a is to serve as a supporting structure for the grabbing head 321b, ensuring that the grabbing head 321b can accurately reach the target position. The grabbing head 321b is the part that directly contacts the SMD component and is used to grab the component. The gas channel runs from the connecting rod 321a to the grabbing head 321b, which is used to adsorb the component by means of negative pressure. The negative pressure is transmitted to the gas channel through the air pipe 332 to form an adsorption force, so that the grabbing head 321b can firmly grasp the SMD component.

[0068] Furthermore, the gripping head 321b is made of rubber, which provides good flexibility and sealing of the gripping surface. During negative pressure adsorption, the rubber gripping head 321b can fit tightly with the surface of the SMD component to ensure the stability and non-slip nature of the gripping process. The rubber material has high flexibility and cushioning properties, and can adapt to the surfaces of components of different shapes and sizes, which not only enhances the stability of the gripping, but also reduces the risk of possible damage to the component surface. Especially in operations that require high surface quality of components, the rubber gripping head 321b can effectively protect the components.

[0069] In a specific embodiment, the braiding machine further includes a plurality of detection components 40 , each of the detection components 40 is disposed on the base 10 , and the plurality of detection components 40 are disposed around the rotating portion 3122 as a circle center.

[0070] Specifically, each detection component 40 is installed on the base 10 of the taping machine. These detection components 40 cooperate closely with the grasping mechanism 30 and the taping process. A plurality of detection components 40 are arranged in a ring with the center of the rotating part 3122 as the center of the circle. Such a layout can operate synchronously with the rotating grasping mechanism 30, enabling each detection point to effectively cooperate with different grasping arms 321 to complete the detection task. The circular arrangement can ensure that each grasped component can pass through multiple detection processes during each rotation of the rotating mechanism without the need for additional movement of the component or adjustment of the process. This design greatly improves the detection efficiency. At the same time, through the surrounding layout, the close connection of each detection step is ensured, achieving a comprehensive detection of the component.

[0071] Preferably, the plurality of detection components 40 include a positioning component, a testing component, a bottom imaging component, and pre-taping detection. The function of the positioning component is to ensure that when grasping the SMD component in the grasping and conveying track 22, the subsequent processes are not affected by the deviation of the grasping angle or position. By placing the component grasped by the grasping component 32 into the positioning component, the positioning component can adjust and calibrate the component to ensure that the component is in the accurate position and angle.

[0072] Further, after the component is positioned, the testing component contacts the component through a probe or a non-contact detection device to detect its electrical performance. The testing process is controlled by an automated control system, and the electrical data of the component is collected and analyzed in real time. By connecting testing tools such as probes, parameters such as the resistance, capacitance, and conductivity of the component are tested, and the component is judged whether it is qualified by comparing the data with the preset standard parameters. The testing component ensures that the electrical performance of the SMD component meets the specifications, can promptly screen out the components that do not meet the standards, and avoid defective products from entering the subsequent taping link, improving the reliability of the product.

[0073] Still further, when the component rotates through the grasping component 32 to reach the detection area of the bottom imaging component, the system collects an image of the bottom of the component through a high-speed camera. The image data will be transmitted to the image processing system for analysis to check whether there are problems such as pad damage and stains on the welding surface of the component. Using image processing technology, the bottom imaging component captures a high-resolution image of the bottom of the component and compares it with the standard image. Through algorithm analysis, it is detected whether there are problems such as cracks, defects, and foreign objects at the bottom of the component that affect the welding quality.

[0074] Even further, the pre-taping detection conducts a final detection before the component is put into the tape to ensure that the component remains qualified after going through all the detection processes. After confirming that the component status is qualified, the grasping component 32 puts the SMD component into the tape for winding.

[0075] In a specific embodiment, each of the detection components 40 includes a fixing member 41 and a detection member 42 disposed on the fixing member 41. When observed in the vertical direction, the detection end of each detection member 42 faces the grasping component 32.

[0076] Specifically, the fixing member 41 is used to stabilize the detection member 42, keep the position of the detection member 42 unchanged, ensure that its detection direction is consistent with the movement direction of the grasping component 32, and avoid detection errors. Through the stable installation of the fixing member 41, the detection member 42 can continuously and stably detect each passing element, without causing deviation of the detection angle or position due to mechanical vibration or other interferences, thereby improving the accuracy and stability of detection.

[0077] Furthermore, the detection member 42 is the part that actually performs the detection, usually realized by an optoelectronic sensor, a vision detection system or an electrical measurement device. Its detection end faces the element in the grasping component 32 and can detect specific attributes (such as polarity, appearance, function) of the element. The detection end of the detection member 42 directly faces the grasping component 32, enabling the grasping component 32 to perform a preliminary detection on the SMD element only by moving in the vertical direction, without additional actions or position adjustments, ensuring the efficiency of the detection process.

[0078] In a specific embodiment, the taping machine further includes a plurality of waste boxes 50. The waste boxes 50 are spaced apart from the detection components 40. Each waste box is provided with a receiving cavity 51 and a waste opening 52 communicating with the receiving cavity 51. In the vertical direction, the waste opening 52 faces the grasping component 32.

[0079] Specifically, the waste boxes 50 are used to collect the SMD elements determined to be unqualified during the detection process. Each waste box 50 is provided with a receiving cavity 51 for storing unqualified elements. The setting of the waste boxes 50 can effectively manage and recycle unqualified products during the automated production process, and prevent unqualified elements from entering the subsequent production links. Through the spaced arrangement, the grasping component 32 can quickly and accurately transfer the unqualified elements from the detection position to the waste boxes 50. This design optimizes the spatial layout of the production line, enabling grasping, detection and waste disposal to proceed in an orderly manner respectively, and reducing unnecessary process overlap or obstruction.

[0080] Furthermore, the waste opening 52 faces the grasping component 32, which means that after detecting an unqualified element, the grasping component 32 can directly send the element into the waste box 50 through the waste opening 52 without an additional conveying device. This direct design simplifies the process of handling unqualified products, reduces the flow path of the elements in the equipment, thereby improving the handling speed and reducing the complexity and maintenance difficulty of the equipment.

[0081] In a specific embodiment, the taping machine further includes a control component 60, which is disposed on the base 10 and electrically connected to the grasping mechanism 30 for controlling the operation of the grasping mechanism 30.

[0082] Specifically, the installation of the control component 60 on the base 10 means that this component is closely integrated with other key parts (such as the grasping mechanism 30 and the taping component). This layout simplifies the design of the circuit and the signal transmission path, improving the response speed and stability of the overall system. The core function of the control component 60 is to perform real-time control on various operations of the grasping mechanism 30, such as the grasping, releasing, rotating of SMD components and the corresponding detection and feedback. This means that every action of the grasping mechanism 30 is completed through the instructions of the control component 60, ensuring seamless connection of each step. Through the precise control of the control component 60, the device can efficiently and automatically complete the process of component grasping and taping, avoiding the uncertainties brought by human intervention. This design greatly improves the automation degree and operation efficiency of the device, enabling it to maintain stable performance in large-scale production.

[0083] The above are only the implementation manners of the present application. It should be noted here that for those of ordinary skill in the art, improvements can be made without departing from the creative concept of the present application, but these all belong to the protection scope of the present application.
