[0030] To make the technical problems, technical solutions, and beneficial effects of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

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.

[0034] Currently, the testing equipment used in the field of CIS chip testing generally uses lead screw module components to realize the movement of the X and Y axes, and then the movement of the module is used to move the material tray or chip. The lead screw module requires a lot of components, resulting in a lot of hardware in the equipment mechanism, high equipment maintenance costs, and the lead screw module has a lot of noise and vibration, resulting in poor overall positioning accuracy of the equipment.

[0035] To alleviate and solve the above technical problems, this utility model proposes a chip and tray handling device, including a first moving module 10, a second moving module 20, a third moving module 30 and a suction nozzle assembly 40 connected in sequence. The first moving module 10 is used to drive the suction nozzle assembly 40 to move in a first direction, the second moving module 20 is used to drive the suction nozzle assembly 40 to move in a second direction, and the third moving module 30 is used to drive the suction nozzle assembly 40 to move in a vertical direction. By setting at least one of the first moving module 10 and the second moving module 20 as a linear drive motor 11, the number of parts of the equipment can be reduced, the equipment cost can be reduced, and the noise and vibration of the equipment during operation can be reduced.

[0036] The chip and tray handling device provided in the embodiments of this utility model will now be described.

[0037] Please see Figure 1 The chip and tray handling device includes:

[0038] The first moving module 10 is used to output motion in the first direction;

[0039] The second moving module 20 is connected to the moving end of the first moving module 10, and the second moving module 20 is used to output movement in the second direction;

[0040] The third moving module 30 is connected to the moving end of the second moving module 20, and the third moving module 30 is used to output the movement in the vertical direction;

[0041] The nozzle assembly 40 is connected to the moving end of the third moving module 30, and the nozzle assembly 40 is used to pick up and put in chips and / or trays; wherein, the tray is used to place chips, and when the nozzle assembly 40 picks up the tray, it can pick up an empty tray or a tray full of chips.

[0042] The first direction, the second direction, and the vertical direction are arranged in pairs, and at least one of the first moving module 10 and the second moving module 20 includes a linear drive motor 11 capable of outputting linear motion.

[0043] The first moving module 10 has a motion output end, the motion direction of which is a first direction, and the first moving module 10 is used to drive the nozzle assembly 40 to move in the first direction. When the first moving module 10 is working, it drives the second moving module 20, the third moving module 30 and the nozzle assembly 40 to move simultaneously in the first direction.

[0044] The second moving module 20 has a motion output end, the motion direction of which is the second direction, and the second moving module 20 is used to drive the nozzle assembly 40 to move in the second direction. When the second moving module 20 is working, it drives the third moving module 30 and the nozzle assembly 40 to move simultaneously in the second direction.

[0045] The third moving module 30 has a motion output end, the motion direction of which is vertical, and the second moving module 20 is used to drive the nozzle assembly 40 to move in the vertical direction.

[0046] The first direction, the second direction, and the vertical direction are intersecting in pairs, meaning that neither the first direction nor the second direction is vertical, and the first direction and the second direction are not the same. Through the cooperation of the first moving module 10, the second moving module 20, and the third moving module 30, the suction nozzle assembly 40 can be moved to any position in the preset space.

[0047] The linear drive motor 11 can directly convert electrical energy into linear motion mechanical energy without any intermediate conversion mechanism or transmission device. Also known as a linear motor, linear actuator, or pushrod motor, its working principle is primarily based on the Lorentz force, that is, the force exerted on a current-carrying conductor in a magnetic field, causing it to move. Specifically, when current is passed through the primary winding of the linear drive motor 11 (equivalent to the stator 114 of a rotary motor), a traveling wave magnetic field is generated in the air gap between the primary and secondary windings. The driving force is generated under the action of the traveling wave magnetic field and the secondary permanent magnet, thereby achieving the linear motion of the moving parts. The linear drive motor 11 is relatively stable, has fewer parts, and operates with less noise.

[0048] The chip and tray handling device in the above embodiment includes a first moving module 10, a second moving module 20, a third moving module 30, and a suction nozzle assembly 40 connected in sequence. The first moving module 10 and the second moving module 20 are used to drive the suction nozzle assembly 40 to move in a first direction and a second direction, respectively. At least one of the first moving module 10 and the second moving module 20 includes a linear drive motor 11. The linear drive motor 11 can directly convert electrical energy into linear motion mechanical energy without any intermediate conversion mechanism. Therefore, the hardware structure of the first moving module 10 and the second moving module 20 can be reduced, the maintenance cost can be reduced, and the linear motor moves smoothly with less vibration.

[0049] Please refer to some embodiments of this utility model. Figure 1 The first direction, the second direction, and the vertical direction are arranged perpendicularly to each other. The first direction and the second direction are both horizontal and perpendicular to each other. This makes it easier to calculate the moving distance of the first moving module 10 and the second moving module 20 when handling chips and trays. For ease of explanation, the following embodiments are all described with the first direction, the second direction, and the vertical direction arranged perpendicularly to each other.

[0050] Please refer to some embodiments of this utility model. Figures 2 to 5 The linear drive motor 11 includes a fixed base 111, a plurality of stators 114 arranged sequentially along the output direction of the linear drive motor 11, a mover 115 that moves linearly relative to the stators 114, a first sliding structure 113, and a first slide rail 112. The magnetic poles of adjacent stators 114 are opposite in direction. The mover 115 is an energized coil. The stators 114 are fixed to the fixed base 111. The first sliding structure 113 is fixedly connected to the mover 115 and is slidably disposed on the first slide rail 112.

[0051] The fixed base 111 is the basic structure of the linear drive motor 11. Functional components of the linear drive motor 11, such as the stator 114, can all be mounted on the fixed base 111. The fixed base 111 can be an integral structure or a structure in which multiple parts are fixedly connected to each other. The specific structure and shape of the fixed base 111 are not limited here.

[0052] The stator 114 is a magnet, and the arrangement direction of the multiple stators 114 is the same as the output direction of the linear drive motor 11. When the first moving module 10 includes the linear drive motor 11, the output direction of the linear drive motor 11 is the first direction, and the multiple stators 114 are arranged sequentially along the first direction. The magnetic pole direction of the stator 114 is parallel to the second direction. For example, one stator 114 has a first end with an N pole and a second end with an S pole along the second direction, and the adjacent stator 114 has a first end with an S pole and a second end with an N pole along the second direction. When the second moving module 20 includes the linear drive motor 11, the output direction of the linear drive motor 11 is the second direction, and the multiple stators 114 are arranged sequentially along the second direction. The magnetic pole direction of the stator 114 is parallel to the first direction. For example, one stator 114 has a first end with an N pole and a second end with an S pole along the first direction, and the adjacent stator 114 has a first end with an S pole and a second end with an N pole along the first direction.

[0053] The mover 115 is an energized coil and is located adjacent to the stator 114. When energized, the mover 115 generates a changing magnetic field, which interacts with the magnetic field of the stator 114 to create a pushing force on the mover 115, causing it to move along a first direction or a second direction. The driving principle of the linear drive motor 11 can be found in the principles of current linear motors, and will not be elaborated upon here.

[0054] When the mover 115 moves, the mover 115 drives the first sliding structure 113 to move on the first slide rail 112, so that the mover 115 is restricted by the first slide rail 112 and maintains linear motion.

[0055] When the first moving module 10 includes a linear drive motor 11, the length direction of the first slide rail 112 is the first direction; when the second moving module 20 includes a linear drive motor 11, the length direction of the first slide rail 112 is the second direction.

[0056] By setting multiple stators 114 with alternating magnetic poles and movers 115 with energized coils, the first sliding structure 113 slides on the first slide rail 112, which can directly convert electrical energy into mechanical energy for linear motion without the need for an intermediate transmission mechanism (to convert rotational motion into linear motion), and thus requires fewer parts.

[0057] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 3 to 5 The stator 114 has connection holes on both sides. Screws and other fasteners pass through the connection holes and connect to the fixed base 111, thereby fixing the stator 114 to the fixed base 111.

[0058] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 3 to 5The first sliding structure 113 includes a connecting block 1132 and a first slider 1131. The connecting block 1132 is used to fix the first slider 1131 and the next moving module, and the first slider 1131 is used to slide in cooperation with the first slide rail 112. For example, in the first moving module 10, the connecting block 1132 is used to fix the first slider 1131 and the fixing seat of the second moving module 20; in the second moving module 20, the connecting block 1132 is used to fix the first slider 1131 and the fixing part of the third moving module 30.

[0059] Optionally, the first slider 1131 and the first slide rail 112 can be standard parts, eliminating the need for redesign and reducing design and production costs.

[0060] Optionally, there are two first slide rails 112, and correspondingly, there is an even number of first sliders 1131. The same number of first sliders 1131 can be set on each first slide rail 112, so that the first sliding structure 113 is more stable when sliding relative to the first slide rail 112.

[0061] Optionally, the cross-section of the connecting block 1132 is U-shaped, the bottom of the U-shape of the connecting block 1132 can be fixedly connected to the first slider 1131, and the two tops of the U-shape of the connecting block 1132 are fixedly connected to the next moving module.

[0062] In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 3 to 5 The linear drive motor 11 also includes a dust cover 119, which is placed on the fixed base 111 and can cover the internal structure of the linear drive motor 11 (such as stator 114, mover 115, first slider 1131, first slide rail 112, etc.) to prevent dust.

[0063] Optionally, the fixed base 111 has upright plates 1111 at both ends, so that the interior of the fixed base 111 forms a receiving space to accommodate the stator 114, the mover 115, the first slider 1131, the first slide rail 112 and other structures. The dust cover 119 is fixed to the two upright plates 1111 at both ends, which can reduce dust falling into the interior of the fixed base 111.

[0064] Please refer to some embodiments of this utility model. Figure 4 and Figure 5 The linear drive motor 11 also includes a photoelectric sensor 117 fixed to the fixed base 111, a photoelectric baffle 118 fixed to the first sliding structure 113, a scale grating fixed to the fixed base 111, and a grating reading head 116 fixed to the first sliding structure 113. The photoelectric baffle 118 is used to trigger the photoelectric sensor 117, and the grating reading head 116 cooperates with the scale grating to obtain the displacement of the first sliding structure 113.

[0065] The photoelectric sensor 117 is fixedly installed, and the photoelectric baffle 118 moves synchronously with the first sliding structure 113. The photoelectric sensor 117 can convert light signals into electrical signals. When the photoelectric sensor 117 is blocked by the photoelectric baffle 118, the photoelectric sensor 117 is triggered. The trigger signal can be transmitted to the controller, and the controller sends a control signal to control the start and stop of the linear drive motor 11.

[0066] The scale grating is fixedly installed, and the grating read head 116 moves synchronously with the first sliding structure 113. The scale grating and the grating read head 116 are collectively referred to as a grating ruler, also known as a grating ruler displacement sensor (grating ruler sensor), which is a measurement feedback device that works using the optical principle of a grating. Through the cooperation of the scale grating and the grating read head 116, the position of the first sliding structure 113 can be measured in real time.

[0067] By setting the photoelectric sensor 117 and the grating ruler, the start and stop of the linear drive motor 11 can be controlled to prevent the linear drive motor 11 from malfunctioning and exceeding the preset stroke during operation. By setting the scale grating and the grating reading head 116, the position of the first sliding structure 113 can be detected, realizing automatic control of the position of the suction nozzle assembly 40.

[0068] In some embodiments, photoelectric sensors 117 are provided at both ends of the fixed base 111. When the photoelectric baffle 118 moves to block the photoelectric sensor 117, that is, when the first sliding structure 113 has moved to the limit position, the photoelectric sensor 117 is triggered. After the trigger signal is transmitted to the controller, the controller controls the linear drive motor 11 to stop moving so as to prevent the first sliding structure 113 from colliding with the fixed base 111.

[0069] Optionally, the first sliding structure 113 has an initial position, and a photoelectric sensor 117 is provided at the initial position to detect whether the first sliding structure 113 has returned to the initial position.

[0070] Please refer to some embodiments of this utility model. Figure 3 and Figure 5 The linear drive motor 11 also includes buffer members 1112 fixed to both ends of the fixed base 111. The buffer members 1112 are deformable structures under stress, used to reduce the impact on the first sliding structure 113. If a malfunction occurs after the first sliding structure 113 has moved to its limit position, the first sliding structure 113 will continue to move and collide with the buffer members 1112.

[0071] The buffer 1112 can buffer the impact force when the first sliding structure 113 collides with the fixed base 111, so as to avoid damaging the first sliding structure 113 and the fixed base 111.

[0072] In some embodiments, the buffer 1112 is made of sponge, rubber, silicone, etc.

[0073] Please refer to some embodiments of this utility model. Figure 2 The first moving module 10 includes a linear drive motor 11 and an auxiliary mechanism 12. The auxiliary mechanism 12 includes an auxiliary fixed base 121, an auxiliary slide rail 122 parallel to the first slide rail 112, and an auxiliary slider 123 slidably disposed on the auxiliary slide rail 122. The second moving module 20 includes a linear drive motor 11. The first sliding structure 113 and the auxiliary slider 123 of the first moving module 10 are both fixedly connected to the fixed base 111 of the second moving module 20.

[0074] The auxiliary mechanism 12 is used to assist the motion output of the first moving module 10, making the transport output of the first moving module 10 in the first direction more stable. The auxiliary mechanism 12 includes an auxiliary fixed base 121, an auxiliary slide rail 122, and an auxiliary slider 123. The auxiliary fixed base 121 is a fixed structure, the auxiliary slide rail 122 is fixed on the auxiliary fixed base 121, and the auxiliary slider 123 is slidably disposed on the auxiliary slide rail 122.

[0075] By fixing the first sliding structure 113 of the first moving module 10 and the auxiliary slider 123 of the auxiliary mechanism 12 to the fixed base 111 of the second moving module 20, the first sliding structure 113 and the auxiliary slider 123 of the first moving module 10 move synchronously. Even if the length of the second moving module 20 in the second direction is long, it can be stably connected to the second moving module 20, making the motion output of the first moving module 10 in the first direction more stable.

[0076] Please refer to some embodiments of this utility model. Figure 6 and Figure 7 The third moving module 30 includes a fixed plate 33, a first stroke component 31 and a second stroke component 32 fixed to the fixed plate 33. Both the first stroke component 31 and the second stroke component 32 can output linear motion, and the first stroke component 31, the second stroke component 32 and the suction nozzle component 40 are sequentially connected by transmission. The second stroke component 32 includes a cylinder 321 and a solenoid valve 35. The solenoid valve 35 is connected to the air input end and the air output end of the cylinder 321 respectively.

[0077] The fixed plate 33 serves as the fixing and mounting structure for the third moving module 30. The first stroke assembly 31 and the second stroke assembly 32 are both mounted on the fixed plate 33. The fixed plate 33 is fixedly connected to the motion output structure of the second moving module 20 (such as the first sliding structure 113 of the second moving module 20). The first stroke assembly 31, the second stroke assembly 32, and the nozzle assembly 40 are sequentially connected, meaning that when the first stroke assembly 31 is working, the second stroke assembly 32 and the nozzle assembly 40 move up and down simultaneously; when the second stroke assembly 32 is working, the nozzle assembly 40 moves up and down. When adjusting the height of the nozzle assembly 40, the first stroke assembly 31 is used for initial adjustment, and then the second stroke assembly 32 is used for fine adjustment. In the second stroke assembly 32, the cylinder 321 is the mechanism for driving the nozzle assembly 40 to move up and down, and the solenoid valve 35 is an air circuit switch. When the solenoid valve 35 is open, it provides airflow to the cylinder 321, driving the nozzle assembly 40 to move up and down. Specifically, when the nozzle assembly 40 descends, air is input into the cylinder 321 from the air input end through the solenoid valve 35 to generate positive pressure; when the nozzle assembly 40 rises, air is output from the cylinder 321 to the solenoid valve 35 from the air output end.

[0078] The height of the nozzle assembly 40 is initially adjusted by the first stroke component 31, and then precisely adjusted by the second stroke component 32, making the height adjustment of the nozzle assembly 40 more accurate. Furthermore, the second stroke component 32 is controlled by the cylinder 321, which minimizes the impact on the tray or chip when the nozzle assembly 40 moves downwards to pick up the material, thus preventing damage to the tray or chip.

[0079] Please refer to some embodiments of this utility model. Figure 6 and Figure 7 The cylinder 321 has a first regulating element at its air inlet for adjusting the intake air flow and a second regulating element at its air outlet for adjusting the outlet air flow. When the nozzle assembly 40 descends, gas is input into the cylinder 321 from the air inlet through the solenoid valve 35. Adjusting the first regulating element adjusts the intake air flow at the air inlet; a higher intake air flow results in a faster descent of the nozzle assembly 40, while a lower intake air flow results in a slower descent. When the nozzle assembly 40 ascends, air from inside the cylinder 321 is output to the solenoid valve 35 through the air outlet. Adjusting the second regulating element adjusts the outlet air flow; a higher outlet air flow results in a faster ascent of the nozzle assembly 40, while a lower outlet air flow results in a slower ascent. In essence, the first regulating element adjusts the descent speed of the nozzle assembly 40, and the second regulating element adjusts the ascent speed.

[0080] The descent speed and ascent speed of the nozzle assembly 40 can be adjusted by setting the first and second adjustment components, respectively.

[0081] In some embodiments, the first adjusting element is an adjusting screw, and the intake airflow can be adjusted by rotating the first adjusting element.

[0082] In some embodiments, the second adjusting member is an adjusting screw, and the air flow rate can be adjusted by rotating the second adjusting member.

[0083] Please refer to some embodiments of this utility model. Figure 6 and Figure 7 The first stroke assembly 31 includes a first motor 311 capable of outputting rotational motion, a lead screw 312 connected to the first motor 311, a nut block threadedly connected to the lead screw 312, a second sliding structure 314 fixedly connected to the nut block, and a second slide rail 315. The second sliding structure 314 is slidably disposed on the second slide rail 315, and the cylinder 321 is fixed to the second sliding structure 314.

[0084] The first motor 311 is the power mechanism. The rotational motion of the first motor 311 drives the lead screw 312 to rotate, and the rotational motion of the lead screw 312 is converted into linear motion of the nut block along the length direction of the second slide rail 315. The nut block is fixedly connected to the second sliding structure 314. Therefore, the second sliding structure 314 also moves along the length direction of the second slide rail 315, thereby driving the cylinder 321 and the suction nozzle assembly 40 to move. It should be noted that the length direction of the second slide rail 315 is vertical, and the movement of the second sliding structure 314 and the nut block is also vertical.

[0085] The first stroke component 31 is a lead screw assembly, which has high motion accuracy and runs smoothly.

[0086] In some embodiments, the second sliding structure 314 includes a second slider and a mounting plate that are fixedly connected. The second slider is slidably connected to the second slide rail 315, and the mounting plate is used to connect the second slider and the second stroke assembly 32.

[0087] Optionally, there are two second slide rails 315 and two or more second sliders, with at least one second slider on each second slide rail 315. By setting two second slide rails 315, the vertical movement of the second sliding structure 314 and the nut block is made more stable.

[0088] Please refer to some embodiments of this utility model. Figure 6 and Figure 7The nozzle assembly 40 includes a first nozzle 41 disposed on a first side of the fixing plate 33 and a second nozzle 42 disposed on a second side of the fixing plate 33. The first nozzle 41 is used to pick up chips, and the second nozzle 42 is used to pick up trays. Thus, the conveying device can pick up both chips and trays.

[0089] Please refer to some embodiments of this utility model. Figure 6 and Figure 7 The fixing plate 33 has a first side and a second side arranged opposite to each other. There are two first stroke components 31, which are fixed to the first side and the second side of the fixing plate 33 respectively. There are two second stroke components 32, which are fixed to the first side and the second side of the fixing plate 33 respectively. The suction nozzle assembly 40 includes a first suction nozzle 41 for adsorbing chips and a second suction nozzle 42 for adsorbing material trays. The second stroke component 32 located on the first side of the fixing plate 33 is connected to the first suction nozzle 41, and the second stroke component 32 located on the second side of the fixing plate 33 is connected to the second suction nozzle 42.

[0090] On the first side of the fixed plate 33, the first first stroke assembly 31, the first second stroke assembly 32, and the first suction nozzle 41 are sequentially connected by a transmission mechanism. The cooperation of the various components on the first side of the fixed plate 33 enables control over the lifting and lowering movement of the first suction nozzle 41. On the second side of the fixed plate 33, the second first stroke assembly 31, the second second stroke assembly 32, and the second suction nozzle 42 are sequentially connected by a transmission mechanism. The cooperation of the various components on the second side of the fixed plate 33 enables control over the lifting and lowering movement of the second suction nozzle 42.

[0091] In this embodiment, the first suction nozzle 41 and the second suction nozzle 42 are controlled separately by different first stroke components 31 and second stroke components 32, so the adsorption of the chip and the adsorption of the tray are independent of each other and do not affect each other.

[0092] In some embodiments, there are multiple first suction nozzles 41 and multiple second suction nozzles 42.

[0093] Please refer to some embodiments of this utility model. Figure 6 and Figure 7 The suction nozzle assembly 40 generates negative pressure through the vacuum generator 36. The vacuum generator 36 and the solenoid valve 35 are both fixed to the fixing plate 33, and both the vacuum generator 36 and the solenoid valve 35 are connected to the air source. A safety cover 34 is fixed on the fixing plate 33. The vacuum generator 36 and the solenoid valve 35 are both set inside the safety cover 34. Multiple air pipe joints 341 are fixed at the bottom of the safety cover 34. Some air pipe joints 341 are used to connect the vacuum generator 36 and the suction nozzle assembly 40, and some air pipe joints 341 are used to connect the solenoid valve 35 and the cylinder 321.

[0094] The air source simultaneously provides air pressure to both the solenoid valve 35 and the vacuum generator 36. Specifically, the air source provides positive pressure to the solenoid valve 35 and negative pressure to the vacuum generator 36. The vacuum generator 36 is a device that generates negative pressure. The vacuum generator 36 is connected to the nozzle assembly 40, causing the nozzle assembly 40 to generate negative pressure, thereby adsorbing the material tray or chip. The air pipe connector 341 used to connect the vacuum generator 36 and the nozzle assembly 40 is a first air pipe connector 341. The two ends of the first air pipe structure are respectively connected to air pipes, and the two air pipes are respectively connected to the vacuum generator 36 and the nozzle assembly 40. The air pipe connector 341 used to connect the solenoid valve 35 and the cylinder 321 is a second air pipe connector 341. The two ends of the second air pipe structure are respectively connected to air pipes, and the two air pipes are respectively connected to the solenoid valve 35 and the cylinder 321.

[0095] The safety cover 34 serves two purposes: first, it protects the vacuum generator 36 and the solenoid valve 35; second, the safety cover 34 is equipped with multiple air pipe connectors 341, and the pipes connecting the solenoid valve 35 and the vacuum generator 36 extend to the air pipe connectors 341. The pipes of the cylinder 321 and the suction assembly can be directly connected to the air pipe connectors 341, thereby making the distribution of the air pipes neater and easier to install and maintain.

[0096] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
