Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on the application. Furthermore, terms such as "first" and "second" are used solely for descriptive purposes and have no special meaning.

[0030] According to some embodiments of this application, please refer to Figures 1 to 8As shown, a PIN needle ejection mechanism is provided, including a base 1, a rotary motor 2, a turntable 3, a clamping mechanism 4 and a needle suction mechanism 5. The rotary motor 2 and the clamping mechanism 4 are installed on the base 1, and the turntable 3 is connected to the rotary motor 2. Several needle suction mechanisms 5 are evenly arranged on the turntable 3. The needle suction mechanism 5 is provided with a positioning groove, and the PIN needle 6 is installed in the positioning groove; the rotary motor 2 drives the turntable 3 to rotate, so as to link the several needle suction mechanisms 5 to rotate synchronously, so that the needle suction mechanism 5 and the clamping mechanism 4 abut and cooperate, so that the needle seat of the PIN needle 6 is exposed outside the positioning groove.

[0031] Specifically, each needle suction mechanism 5 includes a guide column 51, a positioning guide member 52, a compression spring 53 and a pressure cover 54. The guide column 51 is installed on the base 1, the positioning guide member 52 is sleeved on the guide column 51, the pressure cover 54 is sleeved outside the positioning guide member 52, the pressure cover 54 is fixedly connected to the guide column 51, and the compression spring 53 is arranged between the pressure cover 54 and the positioning guide member 52, and is sleeved on the guide column 51.

[0032] Furthermore, the positioning guide 52 can move up and down relative to the guide post 51 . The positioning guide 52 has a cavity 521 built therein, and the cavity 521 can move up and down along the guide post 51 .

[0033] Furthermore, the pressure cover 54 is provided with a guide groove 541, and the positioning guide member 52 is provided with an extension end 522, and the extension end 522 is arranged to extend out of the guide groove 541. When the positioning guide member 52 moves up and down along the guide column 51, the extension end 522 moves up and down along the guide groove 541, so that the needle seat 61 of the PIN needle 6 is hidden in the positioning groove or exposed outside the positioning groove.

[0034] In some embodiments of the present application, the clamping mechanism 4 includes a connecting block 41, a bracket 42 and a cam follower 43. The connecting block 41 is installed on the base 1, one end of the bracket 42 is installed on the connecting block 41, and the other end is connected to the cam follower 43, and the cam follower 43 is in contact with the protruding end 522.

[0035] Furthermore, the upper surface of the protruding end 522 has a transition arc surface, and the transition arc surface of the protruding end 522 rolls with the cam follower 43 to thereby link the positioning guide 52 to move relative to the guide post 51 .

[0036] Furthermore, the guide post 51 is connected to the vacuum connector 55 . A vacuum passage 514 is provided inside the guide post 51 . One end of the vacuum passage 514 is connected to the positioning groove, and the other end is connected to the vacuum connector 55 .

[0037] In some embodiments of the present application, the guide column 51 includes a base 511, a boss 512 and a top seat 513. The boss 512 is installed on the base 511, and the top seat 513 is installed on the boss 512. A vacuum passage 514 is provided inside the base 511, the boss 512 and the top seat 513 to communicate with each other.

[0038] Furthermore, a through hole 523 is provided at the upper end of the positioning guide 52, and a positioning groove is formed between the top seat 513 and the through hole 523 and is used to install the PIN needle 6; when the PIN needle as a whole needs to be visually inspected, the positioning guide 52 moves downward so that the top seat 513 protrudes from the through hole 523, so that the needle seat 61 of the PIN needle 6 is exposed outside the through hole 523.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present application, four needle suction mechanisms 5 are provided, and each needle suction mechanism 5 is respectively configured with two PIN needles 6. Specifically, the number of needle suction mechanisms can be set according to actual needs, and the number of PIN needle configurations can also be set according to actual needs.

[0040] Under normal working conditions, when the compression spring 53 is squeezed upward and the pressure cover 54 is positioned downward, the positioning guide 52 extends about 2 mm vertically, placing the two PIN needles 6 into the positioning groove, fixing the positions of the two PIN needles 6 through the positioning guide 52 and sucking the PIN needles 6 tightly through the two negative pressures in the vacuum joint 55; when the turntable 3 rotates 90 degrees to the visual inspection position, since the visual inspection position requires the needle seat 61 of the PIN needle 6 to be photographed by the camera, at the moment the turntable 3 reaches the visual inspection position, the protruding end 522 of the positioning guide 52 is squeezed downward by the clamping mechanism 5, so that the positioning guide 52 presses the compression spring 53 downward, and finally the needle seat 61 of the PIN needle 6 is completely exposed outside the positioning groove, so that the camera can perform defect detection on the PIN needle.

[0041] In the embodiment of the present application, by positioning the PIN needle, it is possible to prevent the PIN needle from tilting or shifting in position, so as to facilitate visual inspection of the flatness, concentricity and height of the PIN needle, thereby ensuring the accuracy of the inspection.
