[0023] The following describes the embodiments of the present invention through specific examples. Those skilled in the art will readily understand the other advantages and benefits of the present invention from the disclosure herein. The present invention may also be implemented or applied through various other specific embodiments, and the details in this specification may be modified or altered based on different perspectives and applications without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0024] For ease of explanation, when describing the embodiments of the present invention, cross-sectional views of device structures may be partially enlarged and not to scale. These schematic views are merely illustrative and should not limit the scope of protection of the present invention. Furthermore, in actual production, three-dimensional dimensions, including length, width, and depth, should be included.

[0025] For ease of description, spatially relative terms such as "under," "below," "below," "below," "above," and "on" may be used herein to describe the relationship of one element or feature to other elements or features shown in the drawings. It will be understood that these spatially relative terms are intended to encompass orientations of the device in use or operation in addition to the orientation depicted in the drawings. Additionally, when a layer is referred to as being "between" two layers, it can be the only layer between the two layers, or one or more intervening layers may be present. As used herein, "between" is inclusive of both endpoints.

[0026] In the context of the present application, a structure described as a first feature being "above" a second feature may include embodiments where the first and second features are formed in direct contact, and may also include embodiments where an additional feature is formed between the first and second features, such that the first and second features may not be in direct contact.

[0027] It should be noted that the illustrations provided in this embodiment are only used to schematically illustrate the basic concept of the present invention. Therefore, the illustrations only show components related to the present invention and are not drawn according to the number, shape and size of components in actual implementation. In actual implementation, the type, quantity and proportion of each component can be changed at will, and the component layout type may also be more complicated.

[0028] The utility model provides a sealing detection device for a wafer box packaging bag, wherein the left and right side walls of the packaging bag 10 are prefabricated with vertical folds, the left and right edges of the bag opening are folded inward along the folds, and the front and rear edges are close to each other and pressed together to form a seal 100. Figure 1 、 Figure 2As shown, the seal 100 includes two V-shaped seals 111 and a transverse seal 112 connecting the two V-shaped seals 111. The openings of the two V-shaped seals 111 are away from each other and face the outside of the packaging bag. The single V-shaped seal 111 includes two embossed belts 113. The transverse seal 112 and the single embossed belt 113 both include two film layers 121 bonded by heat and pressure. The bonding point of the two film layers 121 forms a pleat 101.

[0029] like Figure 3 、 Figure 4 As shown, the sealing detection device includes four grippers 11 located on the same horizontal plane. The grippers 11 are used to clamp and pull the outer end of the embossing belt 113 to open the opening of the V-shaped seal 111 and keep it in a taut state.

[0030] The sealing detection device also includes multiple groups of suction cup pairs, and a single group of suction cup pairs includes two suction cups 12. The two suction cups 12 are respectively adsorbed on the relatively distant outer surfaces of the two film layers 121, and the two film layers 121 are separated by the movement of moving away from each other, thereby revealing the upper edge and / or lower edge of the embossed belt fold 101. Here, the suction cup is a key component, which is used to separate the film layers to clearly and accurately reveal the folds, providing crucial visual and operational conditions for subsequent detection and identification. After the film layers are separated, the sealing can be tested by traditional methods such as blowing. The present application provides an improved method based on visual detection, which realizes rapid and intuitive detection of the seal by spraying a colorant. This method utilizes the color-rendering characteristics of the colorant at the leakage point, which can clearly identify small defects and penetration paths, significantly improving the efficiency and accuracy of detection.

[0031] Furthermore, the sealing detection device further includes a nozzle 13 , which is used to spray colorant onto the upper edge of the pleat 101 , and to determine the sealing performance of the seal by observing the dyeing condition at the lower edge of the pleat 101 .

[0032] Furthermore, there are a total of 5 groups of suction cup pairs, and this configuration can simultaneously perform separation operations on the film layers at a total of five positions of four embossing belts and one transverse sealing strip, so as to improve operating efficiency.

[0033] Furthermore, the seal inspection device is equipped with a camera 14, which accurately captures the bleed condition at the lower edge of the pleat. The camera is connected to a computer terminal, and the captured images are transmitted to the computer in real time. These images can be evaluated in two ways: manually by an operator to review the image quality, or automatically by using machine vision algorithms (AI) to identify bleed defects. Ultimately, this allows for precise seal quality inspection.

[0034] Furthermore, the seal inspection device is equipped with a linear track arranged along the X-direction (left-right direction). This track is used for the left-right movement of the suction cup 12, the nozzle 13, and the camera 14. The track serves as the basic path for the horizontal movement of the actuator components such as the suction cup, the nozzle, and the camera, allowing them to be flexibly adjusted in position.

[0035] Specifically, the suction cup, nozzle, and camera are all connected to a mobile base via a telescopic rod 20, which is located on a track. The telescopic rod 20 comprises a first and a second vertically connected telescopic segment. The first segment adjusts the rod's vertical height, while the second segment adjusts its extension perpendicular to the track (i.e., the front-to-back direction). The left-right movement provided by the track, combined with the vertical raising and lowering of the first segment and the fore-and-aft extension of the second segment, allows the system to achieve precise positioning at any location in three-dimensional space, greatly enhancing operational flexibility.

[0036] Furthermore, to enhance motion independence and control precision, three tracks are provided, one for each of the suction cup, the other for the nozzle, and the camera. Specifically, the first track 21 is used to move the suction cup 12; the second track 22 is used to drive the camera 14; and the third track 23 is used to drive the nozzle 13. This multi-track layout avoids motion interference between components, improving overall coordination and production efficiency.

[0037] Furthermore, each track group includes two parallel track lines, and the two track lines are arranged on the front and back sides of the packaging bag seal 100.

[0038] Furthermore, the packaging bag seal is divided into the front half and the back half along the vertical plane where the transverse seal is located. In view of this partition design, the configuration of the nozzle 13 and the camera 14 adopts a dual-unit layout: one group of nozzles 13 and cameras 14 is responsible for the spraying and shooting operations in the front half area, and the other group is responsible for the corresponding processing of the back half area at the same time. This design realizes the parallel operation of the front and back halves, significantly improving the processing speed of marking and detection. Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, the spraying and shooting paths of the front half are C and D, and the spraying and shooting paths of the back half are A and B.

[0039] The working process of the sealing detection device is as follows: after the sealing of the packaging bag is removed, the sealing is cut and placed in a specified area of the sealing detection device, is fixed by the four edge clamps, is straightened along the left-right direction (x direction) until in place, and then is moved along the front-back direction (y direction) to make the whole sealing sample present an "X shape". The inner and outer sides of the middle part of each embossed tape have two suction cups respectively, and the two suction cups are respectively adsorbed to the outer surfaces of the two film layers of the single embossed tape which are relatively far away from each other, so that the two film layers are separated from above the embossed part, and thus the upper edge of the embossed part of the embossed tape is exposed. Then, the nozzle filled with the coloring agent sprays the coloring agent uniformly through the connecting pipe according to the predetermined position, and after the spraying is completed, the nozzle returns to the original position. After the sample is vertically placed for a period of time, the suction cup moves to below the embossed part to separate the two film layers from below the embossed part, and thus the lower edge of the embossed part of the embossed tape is exposed. The bottom camera moves to the center and continuously takes pictures to see whether the coloring agent penetrates. If there is no penetration, it is determined to be qualified, and if there is penetration, it means that the packaging bag is not tightly sealed and there is a problem of air leakage. After the work is completed, the suction cup and the camera return to the original position, and the sample is removed.

[0040] In summary, the sealing detection device of the wafer box packaging bag provided by the present application comprises four clamps located on the same horizontal plane, the clamps are used for clamping and pulling the outer end of the sealing of the packaging bag, so that the whole sealing presents an X shape, then the suction cups are respectively adsorbed to the outer surfaces of the two film layers of the single embossed tape which are relatively far away from each other, the two film layers are separated by the action of moving away from each other, so that the upper edge of the embossed part of the embossed tape is exposed, then the nozzle sprays the coloring agent to the upper edge of the embossed part, and the sealing tightness is determined by observing the penetration condition of the lower edge of the embossed part. The observation process can be realized by the camera and combined with the visual algorithm to realize AI automatic identification, so as to effectively monitor the misjudgment problem caused by current visual inspection. The monitoring method can further evaluate whether the high-temperature cloth type is reasonable, whether the operator has the on-duty qualification, and make a judgment, and also reduces the influence of the packaging sealing on the wafer particle pollution.

[0041] The above embodiment only exemplarily illustrates the principle and effect of the present application, and is not used to limit the present application. Any person skilled in the art can modify or change the above embodiment without departing from the spirit and scope of the present application. Therefore, all equivalent modifications or changes completed by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and technical thought disclosed by the present application should be covered by the claims of the present application.
