[0023] Example 1

[0024] like Figures 1 to 2 As shown, a multi-channel tip ejection mechanism provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes a bracket 1, a tip ejection plate 2, a tip fixing plate 3 and a tip ejection mechanism;

[0025] Among them, a plurality of suction pins 4 are fixedly mounted on the suction head fixing plate 3, and an insertion rod 5 corresponding to the plurality of suction pins 4 is mounted on the suction head ejection plate 2. A slot for matching the insertion rod 5 is provided on the suction head fixing plate 3. Under the action of the suction head ejection mechanism, the insertion rod 5 can be inserted into the slot and push the suction head on the suction pin 4 down;

[0026] The tip ejection mechanism includes a screw 6 and a slider 7. The slider 7 is mounted on the screw 6, which is rotatably mounted on the bracket 1. The slider 7 is connected to the tip fixing plate 3 via a guide rail 23. The bracket is also equipped with a motor for driving the screw 6 to rotate. When the screw 6 rotates, the tip fixing plate 3 moves toward or away from the tip ejection plate 2.

[0027] In addition, a guide groove 24 is fixedly mounted on the slider 7, and a guide rail 23 that cooperates with the guide groove 24 is fixedly mounted on the frame. The cooperation between the guide rail 23 and the guide groove 24 is used to limit the slider 7 to only be able to move up and down;

[0028] The suction needle 4 is fixed to the suction head fixing plate 3 through a fixing block 8. Specifically, the suction head fixing plate 3 is provided with a fixing groove that cooperates with the fixing block 8. The fixing block 8 is fixed in the fixing groove by screws / bolts. The fixing block 8 and the fixing groove are both provided with a semicircular groove that cooperates with the upper half of the suction needle 4. The lower half of the suction needle 4 is thicker than the upper half. In addition, a slot for the insertion rod 5 to cooperate is provided in the fixing groove and the fixing block 8. Therefore, the insertion rod 5 will contact the suction head after being inserted into the slot;

[0029] Example 2

[0030] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the embodiment of the present invention provides a multi-channel tip ejection mechanism. Based on the first embodiment, the insertion rod member 5 includes an insertion rod 9 and a base 10. The tip ejection plate 2 is provided with a groove 11 for accommodating the base 10. The groove 11 is provided with a through slot 12 that cooperates with the insertion rod 9. A spring 13 is provided in the groove 11, and the spring 13 abuts against the lower edge of the base 10.

[0031] A fixing mechanism for fixing the base 10 is also provided in the suction head ejection plate 2;

[0032] The fixing mechanism includes a push rod 14, a limiting portion 15, and a connecting rod 16 connecting the push rod 14 and the limiting portion 15. A receiving groove for accommodating the fixing mechanism is provided in the head ejection plate 2, and a second spring 17 connected to the connecting rod is provided in the receiving groove; one end of the push rod 14 extends outside the head ejection plate 2, and one end of the limiting portion 15 extends into the groove 11 under the action of the second spring 17; the fixing mechanism also includes a second limiting portion 18 and a second connecting rod 19. A third spring 20 connected to the second connecting rod 19 is provided in the receiving groove, and one end of the limiting portion 18 can extend into the groove 11 under the action of the third spring 20;

[0033] An inclined slider 1 21 is installed on the connecting rod 2 19, and the push rod 14 is connected to an inclined slider 2 22 that cooperates with the inclined slider 1 21. Pushing the push rod 14 can make the limiting part 15 and the limiting part 2 18 retract into the accommodating groove, and the inserting rod 5 will bounce upward under the action of the spring 13, so the inserting rod 5 will not be able to push the suction head down. Based on this, only part of the suction head can be pushed down according to the operator's needs, and the required suction heads can be retained, thereby meeting the diverse needs of customers.

[0034] 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 present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit and essential features of the present invention.
