Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of automatic strapping equipment for pallets, in particular to an automatic strapping and feeding manipulator. Background Art

[0002] Automatic taping is an essential feature for automated chip packaging. It ensures smooth handling of chips and their trays, and works in conjunction with the taping machine to perform tasks such as handling, rotation, avoidance, and support. It applies "I"-shaped taping to the trays to prevent them from falling and vibration during handling. High gripping precision is required for interfacing with the preceding process. An external frame completely isolates the internal motion mechanism from external components, enhancing overall equipment safety and meeting anti-static requirements for semiconductor equipment.

[0003] The photovoltaic module taping conveying device disclosed in the Chinese utility model patent application disclosure specification 2023225380752 includes: a frame, an X-direction ground rail, a Y-direction roller conveyor line and a drive assembly; the frame is arranged on the X-direction ground rail, and the drive assembly is used to drive the frame to move back and forth along the X-direction on the X-direction ground rail; the Y-direction roller conveyor line is arranged on the frame and is used to convey photovoltaic modules along the Y-direction. The photovoltaic module taping conveying device provided by the utility model cooperates with the X-direction taping machine and the Y-direction taping machine to realize automatic taping, saving manpower and improving taping efficiency. At the same time, the structure is simple, and it is convenient and stable to move the photovoltaic modules to be taped out and into the photovoltaic module packaging line. The structure mainly cooperates with the sword-piercing baler to realize the packaging and taping of photovoltaic products. Automatic handling is realized, reducing the intensity of manual work;

[0004] An automatic taping and pushing mechanism for an electric capacitor core disclosed in the Chinese utility model patent application disclosure specification 2020228696946 includes a frame, a servo transmission system, a pushing structure, a capacitor element and an external controller; the frame includes a base plate, the edge of the base plate is equipped with a uniformly distributed fixing structure, a column is fixed to the middle part of the upper end of the base plate, and the upper end of the column is fixedly connected to the middle part of the lower end surface of the top plate; the servo transmission system is fixed to the lower end surface of the frame; the pushing structure is located on the upper end surface of the top plate, and the structure is mainly used to pre-apply a certain pressure to the electric capacitor core during the assembly process to make its parts fit tightly before taping and welding.

[0005] Neither of the two aforementioned strapping loading structures is suitable for current chip tray packaging. The roller line and pusher methods introduce vibration during transport, causing chip trays to tip over and chips to vibrate off the tray. This results in unstable strapping operations and damage to the chips, resulting in losses. Furthermore, strapping requires an I-shaped strap, requiring a 90° rotation when strapping horizontally. Furthermore, these solutions require significant equipment space to achieve these functions. Therefore, we proposed a novel device to address these issues. Utility Model Content
