Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to semiconductor manufacturing equipment, and more particularly to a copper frame clamping robot. Background Technology

[0002] After the power device chips are wire-bonded on the copper frame, they need to be reflowed in a reflow oven to ensure the reliability of the wire bonding. According to the process requirements, during reflow soldering, five copper frames are stacked together and placed at the entrance of the reflow oven. After each batch, a batch number tag is placed at the entrance to prevent mixing. The stack of copper frames and batch number tags are conveyed to the exit of the reflow oven in sequence by the conveyor belt. After the stack of copper frames and batch number tags are conveyed to the exit, they are set vertically and manually transported to the material basket. The manual transport to the material basket is not only inefficient but also labor-intensive. Therefore, developing a device to clamp the vertically set copper frames into the material basket is an urgent technical problem to be solved. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the above problems, this utility model provides a copper frame clamping robot with a compact structure that improves the efficiency of transferring copper frames to material baskets and reduces manual labor intensity.

[0004] The technical solution of this utility model is:

[0005] A copper frame clamping robot includes:

[0006] The base is detachably and fixedly mounted on the frame at the bottom, and the first motor is located at the top;

[0007] One end of the primary rotating arm (251) is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft of the first motor;

[0008] The secondary rotating arm (252) is rotatably mounted on the top of the other end of the primary rotating arm (251) via a second motor;

[0009] A clamping linear drive mechanism (220) is vertically fixed on the secondary rotating arm (252);

[0010] A gripper mechanism is detachably and fixedly mounted on the piston rod end of the clamping linear drive mechanism; the gripper mechanism includes:

[0011] A liner plate is removably and washably fixedly installed at the piston rod end of the clamping linear drive mechanism;

[0012] The front gripper is vertically and detachably fixed at the front end below the liner plate;

[0013] The gripper linear drive mechanism is horizontally fixed at the end below the liner plate;

[0014] The rear gripper is fixedly connected to the piston rod end of the gripper linear drive mechanism, and the distance between it and the front gripper is adjusted by the extension and retraction control of the gripper linear drive mechanism.

[0015] Specifically, the clamping linear drive mechanism includes a clamping cylinder, a clamping hydraulic cylinder, or a clamping electric push rod.

[0016] Specifically, the gripper linear drive mechanism includes a gripper cylinder, a gripper hydraulic cylinder, or a gripper electric push rod.

[0017] Specifically, the liner has an L-shaped cross-section.

[0018] Specifically, the front gripper and the rear gripper are respectively plate-shaped structures.

[0019] Specifically, the front and rear grippers are each provided with several slots with open bottoms.

[0020] This invention includes a base, a primary rotating arm, and a secondary rotating arm. The base is detachably fixed to the frame by bolts. A first motor on the base drives the primary and secondary rotating arms to rotate, thereby rotating the gripper mechanism from the gripping station to the material basket station. When the gripper mechanism reaches the gripping station, the front and rear grippers open, forming an opening suitable for the copper frame or batch number plate. The piston rod of the clamping linear drive mechanism descends to a set position, and the front and rear grippers clamp the copper frame or batch number plate. The piston rod of the clamping linear drive mechanism retracts, and the mechanism rotates above the material basket through the cooperation of the primary and secondary rotating arms. The descent of the piston rod of the clamping linear drive mechanism places the copper frame or batch number plate into the corresponding position within the material basket. This invention has the advantages of compact structure, improved efficiency in transferring copper frames to the material basket, and reduced labor intensity. Attached Figure Description

[0047] The base 210 is detachably and fixedly mounted on the frame at the bottom, and the first motor is located at the top;

[0048] The first-stage rotating arm 251 is fixedly connected at one end to the rotating shaft of the first motor;

[0050] A clamping linear drive mechanism 220 is vertically fixed on the secondary rotating arm 252;

[0051] A gripper mechanism 240 is detachably and fixedly mounted on the piston rod end of the clamping linear drive mechanism 220; the gripper mechanism 240 includes:

[0052] The liner 241 is detachably and washably fixed at the piston rod end of the clamping linear drive mechanism 220;

The piston rod of the clamping linear drive mechanism 220 retracts and rotates above the material basket through the cooperation of the first-stage rotating arm 251 and the second-stage rotating arm 252. The descent of the piston rod of the clamping linear drive mechanism 220 places the copper frame or batch number plate into the corresponding position in the material basket.

[0080] The rotating shaft 151 is provided with a plurality of fixedly installed limiting arms 1512, and the limiting arms 1512 are provided with limiting protrusions that are adapted to the limiting holes; after the flipping plate 150 is flipped upward into place, the limiting protrusions are located in the limiting holes.

[0082] The front end of the inlet section 1401 bends downward.

[0083] Further optimize the stability of the first belt conveyor 110 and the second belt conveyor 120:

[0091] The pusher plate 182 is fixedly installed at the piston rod end of the pusher cylinder 181. The two pusher plates 182 are pushed synchronously towards the middle of the first belt conveyor 110, so that the pusher plate 182 is located in the middle of the first belt conveyor 110.

[0092] After the batch number plate or copper frame enters the first belt conveyor 110 and the second belt conveyor 120 in sequence, it is sent into the lifting seat 140. At this time, the tilting plate 150 is in its original position, consistent with the inlet part 1401. After the batch number plate or copper frame is conveyed to the position, the piston rod of the tilting cylinder 160 extends, tilting the tilting plate 150 upward. The batch number plate or copper frame is vertically positioned between the tilting plate 150 and the vertical part 1402. The batch number plate or copper frame is picked up by the side robot and placed into the preset material basket. After the batch number plate or copper frame is picked up, the tilting plate 150 returns to its original position, waiting for the next batch of batch number plates or copper frames to enter.
