Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a vacuum suction pen, belonging to the technical field of chip testing equipment. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, vacuum pens are widely used as key components in the automated inspection and sorting of semiconductor chips for precise chip gripping and transfer. A search revealed a Chinese patent, CN217214677U, which discloses a vacuum pen. In this patent, before use, the operator adjusts the flashlight to a suitable angle using a flexible tube to focus the light on the suction nozzle area. After turning on the flashlight, the operator holds the pen with one hand. When the suction nozzle contacts the target chip, the light continuously illuminates its surface information. The operator triggers vacuum suction by pressing a pneumatic button or manually pressing a rubber bulb, accurately picking up the chip under stable lighting. However, this patent suffers from several drawbacks. The flexible tube and flashlight are prone to collision and interference in confined spaces. Furthermore, manual light source adjustment requires frequent interruptions to the operation, affecting sorting efficiency, and there is glare interference in strong light environments. Additionally, the fixed suction nozzle offers poor adaptability to chips of different sizes. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution of this utility model is: a vacuum suction pen, comprising:
[0005] The pen body has a front cavity and a rear cavity.
[0006] The front cavity is provided with an adsorption channel and a venting channel, and the venting channel is connected to the adsorption channel.
[0007] An adsorption head is provided with an adsorption cavity and an adsorption port, and the adsorption cavity and the adsorption port are connected in communication.
[0008] One end of the pen body is provided with a first connector, the first connector including an annular groove and a positioning boss, the annular groove is provided with at least two elastic buckles, one end of the suction head is provided with a second connector, the second connector including an annular protrusion adapted to the annular groove, a positioning groove adapted to the positioning boss and a snap-fit groove that cooperates with the elastic buckles.
[0009] When the second connector is connected to the first connector, the annular protrusion is embedded in the annular slot, the elastic buckle is engaged in the snap-fit groove for axial locking, the positioning boss is inserted into the positioning groove for circumferential limiting, and the adsorption cavity is connected to the adsorption channel.
[0010] Furthermore, in order to quickly release the pressure inside the adsorption head and thus quickly disconnect the adsorption connection with the chip, the surface of the pen body is provided with a vent, which is connected to the venting channel.
[0011] Furthermore, in order to precisely control the adsorption force, a vacuum pump is installed in the rear cavity, and the vacuum pump is connected to the adsorption channel.
[0012] Furthermore, for automated operation, a vacuum pen also includes a control board installed in the rear cavity. The control board is electrically connected to the vacuum pump and is adapted to control the opening and closing of the vacuum pump.
[0013] Furthermore, an electromagnetic valve is provided between the adsorption channel and the venting channel. The electromagnetic valve is electrically connected to the control board and is adapted to control the gas flow between the adsorption channel and the venting channel in order to control the adsorption and release of the vacuum pen.
[0014] Furthermore, to improve the usability and portability of the device, a vacuum pen also includes a power module installed in the rear cavity. The power module is electrically connected to the control board and is adapted to provide power to the vacuum pump and the control board.
[0015] Furthermore, a charging interface is provided at one end of the pen body near the rear cavity. The charging interface is electrically connected to the power module and is adapted to charge the power module through an external power source.

The air passage is connected by the embedding of the annular protrusion and the annular groove. The axial locking is completed by the cooperation of the elastic buckle and the locking groove. The insertion of the positioning boss and the positioning groove ensures circumferential alignment, so that the adsorption cavity and the adsorption channel are precisely connected.
[0019] Press the switch button, and the control board will start the vacuum pump after receiving the signal. At the same time, close the solenoid valve (cut off the connection between the venting channel and the adsorption channel). The vacuum pump will draw air from the adsorption chamber through the adsorption channel to form a negative pressure. After the adsorption port comes into contact with the target chip, a vacuum adsorption force will be generated to complete the chip gripping and move or perform other operations on the chip.
[0020] Press the switch button again, and the control board will turn off the vacuum pump and open the solenoid valve, connecting the venting channel and the adsorption channel. External air enters the venting channel through the vent, flows into the adsorption channel and adsorption chamber through the solenoid valve, quickly balances the internal and external pressures, the vacuum adsorption force disappears, and the chip is released.
[0021] 2. In this embodiment, when operating chips of different specifications, the adsorption head can be plugged in and unplugged.
