[0002] Surface mount technology (SMT) is currently the most commonly used process in the electronics packaging industry. The solder paste used in this process requires refrigeration during storage and must be warmed before use. The typical storage temperature for solder paste is around 5°C.

[0038] The utility model provides a multi-axis grabbing mechanism for a solder paste machine.

[0039] like Figure 1 As shown, the multi-axis gripping mechanism of the solder paste machine provided by the embodiment of the present invention includes:

[0040] base;

[0041] An X-axis sliding mechanism is provided on the base;

[0042] A Z-axis sliding mechanism, slidably disposed on the X-axis sliding mechanism and capable of sliding along the X-axis sliding mechanism;

[0043] A Y-axis sliding mechanism, slidably disposed on the Z-axis sliding mechanism and capable of sliding along the Z-axis sliding mechanism;

[0044] The clamping component includes a connected drive component and a clamping component, the drive component is slidably arranged on the Y-axis sliding mechanism and can slide along the Y-axis sliding mechanism, the drive component has a rotating shaft, and the end of the clamping component has a clamping cavity for clamping the solder paste can, and the drive component is used to drive the clamping component to rotate around the rotating shaft.

[0045] In this embodiment, through the joint action of the X-axis sliding mechanism, the Y-axis sliding mechanism, and the Z-axis sliding mechanism, the solder paste can can be driven to circulate through the clamping components, which facilitates the circulation and storage and retrieval of the solder paste can within the system and improves the circulation efficiency of the solder paste can. Therefore, complex picking, placing, and handling actions can be flexibly completed in three-dimensional space, which is particularly suitable for precision operations in limited spaces. Through automated handling, manual intervention is reduced, the solder paste processing speed is significantly improved, and the production cycle is shortened.

[0046] Please refer to Figure 2-4 The X-axis sliding mechanism includes an X-axis slide rail provided on the base, an X-axis slider slidably provided on the X-axis slide rail, and an X-axis driver connected to the X-axis slider.

[0049] Specifically, the telescopic unit includes a fixed plate and a sliding plate, wherein the fixed plate is connected to the rotating shaft and has a track on which the sliding plate is slidably mounted. The telescopic unit also includes a fixed bracket, which is disposed on the sliding plate and connected to the clamping assembly.

The two clamping arms can move toward or away from each other to expand or contract the clamping cavity. In this embodiment, the two clamping arms can also be connected by a driver, with the driver controlling the distance between the two clamping arms (i.e., the size of the clamping cavity) to clamp or release the solder paste can.

[0051] It can be understood that in this application, each driver can be regulated by a control system to achieve automatic control. This control system belongs to the existing technology and this application will not describe it in detail. The control system in the existing technology can be directly used.
