Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0049] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "connection," "linking," and "fixing," etc., should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components.

[0051] The nozzle level calibration mechanism of this utility model embodiment is described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0052] Reference Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the nozzle level calibration mechanism provided according to the embodiment of the present invention includes a drive base 10 and a calibration platform 20.

[0053] The drive unit 10 can be a linear drive motor or a cylinder 31, used as a power mechanism.

[0054] The verification platform 20 includes a verification base 21, multiple verification lights 22, an auxiliary connector 23, and a power supply 24. The verification base 21 is mounted on the drive base 10 and can move along the X-axis under the drive of the drive base 10. The verification base 21 is provided with multiple verification contacts that correspond one-to-one with the multiple suction nozzles 41 on the suction nozzle mechanism 40. The multiple verification contacts are respectively connected to the multiple verification lights 22 and the power supply 24. The multiple verification lights 22 are all mounted on the verification base 21 and connected to the power supply 24. The auxiliary connector 23 is connected to the multiple suction nozzles 41 on the suction nozzle mechanism 40 and the power supply 24. When the multiple suction nozzles 41 of the suction nozzle mechanism 40 contact the corresponding verification contacts, the verification lights 22 connected to the verification contacts can be lit.

[0055] The calibration platform 20 is used to calibrate the levelness of multiple nozzles 41 on the nozzle mechanism 40. Specifically, it includes a calibration base 21, multiple calibration lights 22, an auxiliary connector 23, and a power supply 24. The calibration base 21 is connected to the drive base 10, and can move along the X-axis under the drive of the drive base 10 to drive the calibration base 21 to the bottom of the nozzle mechanism 40. Multiple calibration contacts on the calibration base 21 are electrically connected to multiple calibration lights 22 on the calibration base 21 and correspond one-to-one with multiple nozzles. Multiple nozzles are connected to the power supply 24 through the auxiliary connector 23. When a nozzle contacts the corresponding calibration contact, the nozzle, the corresponding calibration contact, the calibration light 22, and the power supply 24 can form a circuit, thereby illuminating the calibration light 22. Conversely, when the nozzle does not contact the corresponding calibration contact, the nozzle, the corresponding calibration contact, the calibration light 22, and the power supply 24 do not form a circuit, and therefore the corresponding calibration light 22 will not be illuminated. Thus, during use, the levelness of the multiple nozzles on the nozzle mechanism 40 can be determined by judging the number of lights on the calibration lamp 22.

[0056] Specifically, in use, this application first moves the calibration seat 21 below the nozzle mechanism 40 via the drive seat 10. The nozzle mechanism 40 then moves downwards under the drive mechanism, causing the nozzles on the nozzle mechanism 40 to contact the calibration contacts. During this process, when multiple nozzles on the nozzle mechanism 40 simultaneously contact their corresponding calibration contacts, causing multiple calibration lights 22 to illuminate simultaneously, it indicates that all nozzles are in a horizontal position, allowing for the simultaneous suction of multiple materials. Conversely, if one or more calibration lights 22 are not illuminated, it means that a nozzle is not in contact with its corresponding calibration contact; in other words, the nozzles of the nozzle mechanism 40 are not in a horizontal position. Adjustment via the drive mechanism is required until all nozzles simultaneously contact their corresponding calibration contacts, causing all calibration lights 22 to illuminate simultaneously. This calibration method, compared to manual calibration, offers higher accuracy and is more convenient to use.

[0057] According to the nozzle level calibration provided by this utility model, the levelness of multiple nozzles on the nozzle mechanism 40 can be checked simultaneously with high accuracy, ensuring that multiple nozzles can be adjusted to a horizontal state, thereby simultaneously sucking up multiple materials.

[0058] Advantageously, in one embodiment of the present invention, the drive seat 10 includes an X-axis linear module 11 and a connecting platform 12, the connecting platform 12 being disposed on the X-axis linear module 11 and being movable along the X-axis direction under the drive of the X-axis linear module 11; the calibration seat 21 is disposed on the connecting platform 12.

[0059] The X-axis linear module 11 uses a linear motor, which can drive the connecting platform 12 to move in the X-axis direction, thereby moving the calibration seat 21 on the connecting platform 12 to below the nozzle mechanism 40 for the purpose of calibrating the nozzle.

[0060] Advantageously, in one embodiment of the present invention, the calibration base 21 is provided with a calibration area 211, and a plurality of calibration contacts are disposed in the calibration area 211 and are higher than the upper surface of the calibration base 21.

[0061] In other words, multiple protrusions 212 are provided in the calibration area 211. The protrusions 212 are higher than the upper surface of the calibration base 21, and multiple calibration contacts are disposed on the multiple protrusions 212. This facilitates contact between multiple nozzles and multiple calibration contacts. In this embodiment, there are four calibration contacts, and correspondingly, there are also four nozzles and four calibration lamps 22. When all four nozzles are in contact with the four calibration contacts simultaneously, all four calibration lamps 22 will be lit simultaneously, and all four nozzles will be in a horizontal state. Otherwise, they will be in a non-horizontal state.

[0062] Advantageously, in one embodiment of the present invention, the calibration base 21 is provided with a plurality of first mounting slots 213, which are respectively used to install the plurality of calibration lamps 22.

[0063] Furthermore, the calibration base 21 is provided with a second mounting slot 214, which is used to install the power supply 24.

[0064] Thus, multiple calibration lamps 22 and power supply 24 can be installed through the first mounting slot 213 and the second mounting slot 214. The height of the calibration lamp 22 is lower than the upper surface of the calibration base 21, meaning the calibration lamp 22 can be hidden inside the calibration base 21. This protects the calibration lamp 22 from collision damage.

[0065] Advantageously, in one embodiment of the present invention, two clamping components 30 are arranged opposite to each other on the connecting platform 12, the two clamping components 30 being used to clamp and fix the verification platform 20.

[0066] Preferably, the clamping assembly 30 includes a cylinder 31 and a gripper 32;

[0067] The cylinder 31 is mounted on the connecting platform 12; the gripper 32 is connected to the cylinder 31 and is used to clamp and fix the calibration platform 20.

[0068] Thus, the clamping assembly 30 can clamp and fix the calibration seat 21, preventing the calibration platform 20 from shifting during use and affecting the calibration effect. The clamping assembly 30 uses a cylinder 31 and a jaw 32, which has a good clamping effect and makes it easy to release the calibration platform 20, which is beneficial for the disassembly of the calibration platform 20.
