Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing equipment technology, and in particular to a testing tape and reel integrated machine. Background Technology
[0002] In automated production, electronic components (such as chips, operational amplifiers, small-sized PCBs, etc.) require continuous automatic feeding. This is typically achieved by tapering the electronic components into rolls. To ensure that no defective electronic components are included in the rolls, they need to be tested first. Traditionally, testing machines perform the testing process, and the tested components flow into the tape machine via flow channels or linear modules for tapering. This method results in large equipment footprints, high manufacturing costs, and numerous material handling steps, which can lead to module misalignment and reduced equipment stability.
[0003] Therefore, existing technologies have shortcomings and need to be improved. Utility Model Content
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to provide a test tape and reel integrated machine that combines two devices into one, eliminates the intermediate handling mechanism, reduces the space occupied by the equipment, and achieves the purpose of cost reduction and efficiency improvement.
[0005] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: A test tape-and-reel integrated machine is provided, comprising: a machine base, a full-reel hopper, an empty-reel hopper, a flow channel, a robotic arm, a shielded test chamber, a tape-and-reel mechanism, a defective product hopper, and a recognition CCD camera mounted on the robotic arm, all mounted on the machine base; the flow channel has a tray fixing position, the full-reel hopper and the empty-reel hopper are respectively located at both ends of the flow channel, and the shielded test chamber, the tape-and-reel mechanism, and the defective product hopper are located on one side of the flow channel; the movement range of the robotic arm includes the positions of the shielded test chamber, the tape-and-reel mechanism, the defective product hopper, and the tray fixing position.
[0006] In application, the operator first places a stack of trays filled with products into the full tray hopper. The trays are then moved through a flow channel to a fixed tray position (i.e., the robotic arm's picking position). The robotic arm moves above the fixed tray position and uses a CCD camera to locate the product position. Then, gripper A picks up multiple products (e.g., four) at a time. Gripper A moves to the loading area of the shielded test chamber, where gripper B removes the tested products. The products to be tested from gripper A are placed into the testing station in the loading area, and the shielded test chamber can then test the products. For tested products, unqualified products are placed directly into the unqualified product hopper, while qualified products are placed into the tape-and-reel mechanism for tape-and-reeling. Once the trays in the flow channel are empty, the products flow through the flow channel to the bottom of the empty tray hopper and are stacked there. When the hopper is full, the operator collects the products.
[0007] Furthermore, two shielded test chambers are used, with each chamber positioned on one side of the flow channel. Using two shielded test chambers improves testing efficiency, enhances the efficiency of the robotic arm, and reduces production costs.
[0008] Furthermore, the tape-and-reel mechanism and the defective product bin are respectively located on both sides of the flow channel.
[0009] Furthermore, the integrated testing and taping machine also includes: a buffer tray located next to the defective product hopper, an outer cover covering the machine, and a calibration CCD camera located on one side of the tray's fixed position. After four defective products are stored in the buffer tray, they are picked up again and placed in the shielded testing chamber for retesting to avoid mistesting during the initial test. If the product fails the second test, it is placed back into the defective product hopper. The outer cover is used to cover the components on the machine, ensuring an aesthetically pleasing appearance and preventing personnel from encroaching on the robotic arm's operating range. The calibration CCD camera is used to verify whether the robotic arm accurately picks up the product to be tested, preventing deviations when placing the product into the testing station of the shielded testing chamber.
[0010] Furthermore, the test tape and reel integrated machine also includes a take-up mechanism mounted on the machine base, which is located at one end of the tape and reel structure. The tape is taken up by the take-up mechanism, and after the set number of products is completed, the operator cuts the tape and replaces the reel.
[0011] Furthermore, the flow channel includes: a conveyor frame, a conveyor belt mounted on the conveyor frame, and a blocking mechanism disposed below the tray fixing position. The blocking mechanism is used to stop and fix the tray, facilitating the robotic arm to grasp the product to be tested on the tray.
[0012] Furthermore, the blocking mechanism includes: a blocking cylinder and a blocking plate connected to the output end of the blocking cylinder.
[0013] Furthermore, both the full-pan and empty-pan hoppers include: a hopper frame, side telescopic support mechanisms installed on both sides of the hopper frame, a lifting mechanism located at the bottom of the hopper frame, and a first photoelectric sensor located at the bottom of the hopper frame; the lifting mechanism is located within the flow channel. When a full-pan hopper unloads a tray, the lifting mechanism lifts and supports the tray, while the side telescopic support mechanisms retract, pressing all the trays onto the lifting mechanism; then the lifting mechanism retracts by the thickness of one tray, at which point the side telescopic support mechanisms extend to support all the trays except the bottom one, and the lifting mechanism continues to retract, causing the trays to fall onto the conveyor belt and be transported to the tray fixing position by the conveyor belt. When an empty tray is loaded into the empty tray hopper, the empty tray is conveyed by the conveyor belt to the bottom of the empty tray hopper. The lifting mechanism lifts the empty tray until it contacts the empty tray above it. Then, the side telescopic support mechanism retracts, and all the empty trays are pressed onto the lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism continues to lift the tray by the thickness of one empty tray. Then, the side telescopic support mechanism extends, and the lifting mechanism can retract, supporting all the empty trays. The lifting mechanism then retracts below the conveyor belt, awaiting the next empty tray. The first photoelectric sensor is used to determine whether the full tray hopper and the empty tray hopper are in an empty state, and to detect the presence of a tray at its sensing position; it serves as an execution marker for each operation.
[0014] Furthermore, the lifting mechanism includes: a lifting cylinder and a lifting plate connected to the output end of the lifting cylinder; the side telescopic support mechanism includes: a telescopic cylinder and an insertion plate connected to the output end of the telescopic cylinder; support ears are provided on both sides of the material tray. The support ears are used to cooperate with the insertion plate so that the side telescopic support mechanism can support the material tray.
[0015] Furthermore, the empty tray hopper also includes a second photoelectric sensor installed on the top of the hopper frame. The second photoelectric sensor is used to determine whether the empty trays in the empty tray hopper are full.
[0016] By adopting the above solution, this utility model provides a test tape-and-reel integrated machine, which has the following technical effects:
[0017] 1. Reduce the overall size of the equipment and improve the effective utilization rate of workshop production space;
[0018] 2. It saves a set of server racks and intermediate handling mechanisms, greatly reducing the manufacturing cost of the equipment.
[0019] 3. Reduce intermediate handling steps to further improve equipment stability.
[0020] In summary, this utility model can effectively reduce workshop space occupation, reduce equipment manufacturing costs, improve equipment stability, and maximize the customer's return on investment. Attached Figure Description

[0029] The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.
[0030] Please see Figures 1-8 This embodiment provides a test tape and reel integrated machine, including: a machine base 10, a full-reel hopper 11, an empty-reel hopper 12, a flow channel 13, a robot arm 14, a shielded test chamber 15, a tape and reel mechanism 16, a defective product hopper 17, and a recognition CCD camera 18 mounted on the robot arm 14, all of which are respectively installed on the machine base. The flow channel 13 is provided with a tray fixing position. The full-reel hopper 11 and the empty-reel hopper 12 are respectively located at both ends of the flow channel 13. The shielded test chamber 15, the tape and reel mechanism 16, and the defective product hopper 17 are located on one side of the flow channel 13. The movement range of the robot arm 14 includes the positions of the shielded test chamber 15, the tape and reel mechanism 16, the defective product hopper 17, and the tray fixing position.
[0031] In application, the operator first places a stack of trays 50 filled with products into the full tray hopper 11. The trays 50 are then moved through the flow channel 13 to the tray fixing position (i.e., the robotic arm picking position). The robotic arm 14 moves above the tray fixing position and uses the recognition CCD camera 18 to take pictures and locate the product position. Then, gripper A 41 picks up multiple products (e.g., 4) at a time. Gripper A 41 moves to the loading area of the shielded test chamber 15, and gripper B 42 takes out the tested products. The products to be tested by gripper A 41 are placed into the testing station in the loading area, and the shielded test chamber 15 can then test the products. For the tested products, unqualified products can be directly placed into the unqualified product hopper 17, and qualified products are placed into the tape feeding mechanism 16 for tape feeding. After the products in the trays 50 on the flow channel 13 are removed, they flow through the flow channel 13 to the bottom of the empty tray hopper 12 and are stacked in the empty tray hopper 12. Once the hopper is full, the operator collects the products.
[0032] In this embodiment, two shielded test chambers 15 are used, with each chamber positioned on one side of the flow channel 13. Using two shielded test chambers 15 improves testing efficiency, enhances the utilization efficiency of the robotic arm 14, and reduces production costs.
[0033] In this embodiment, the tape feeding mechanism 16 and the defective product bin 17 are respectively located on both sides of the flow channel 13.
[0034] In this embodiment, the integrated testing and taping machine further includes: a buffer tray 19 located next to the defective product hopper 17; an outer cover 20 covering the machine platform 10; and a calibration CCD camera 21 located on one side of the tray's fixed position. After four defective products are stored in the buffer tray 19, they are picked up again and placed in the shielded testing chamber for retesting to avoid mistesting during the initial test. If a product fails the retest, it is placed back into the defective product hopper 17. The outer cover 20 is used to cover the components on the machine platform 10, ensuring an aesthetically pleasing appearance and preventing personnel from encroaching on the operating range of the robotic arm 14. The calibration CCD camera 21 is used to verify whether the robotic arm 14 accurately picks up the product to be tested, preventing deviations when placing the product into the testing station of the shielded testing chamber 15.
[0035] In this embodiment, the test tape and reel integrated machine further includes a take-up mechanism 22 installed on the machine base 10, which is located at one end of the tape and reel structure. The tape is taken up by the take-up mechanism 22, and after the set number of products is completed, the operator cuts the tape and replaces the reel.
[0036] In this embodiment, the flow channel 13 includes: a conveyor frame 23, a conveyor belt 24 mounted on the conveyor frame 23, and a blocking mechanism disposed below the material tray fixing position. The blocking mechanism is used to stop and fix the material tray 50, so that the robot arm 14 can grasp the product to be tested on the material tray 50.
[0037] In this embodiment, the blocking mechanism includes: a blocking cylinder 25, and a blocking plate 26 connected to the output end of the blocking cylinder 25.
[0038] In this embodiment, both the full-pan hopper 11 and the empty-pan hopper 12 include: a hopper frame 26, side telescopic support mechanisms installed on both sides of the hopper frame 26, a lifting mechanism located at the bottom of the hopper frame 26, and a first photoelectric sensor 27 located at the bottom of the hopper frame 26; the lifting device is located within the flow channel 13. When the full-pan hopper 11 unloads the tray 50, the lifting mechanism lifts and supports the tray 50, while the side telescopic support mechanisms retract, pressing all the trays 50 onto the lifting mechanism; then the lifting mechanism retracts by the thickness of one tray 50, at which point the side telescopic support mechanisms extend to support all the trays 50 except the bottommost tray 50, and the lifting mechanism continues to retract, causing the trays 50 to fall onto the conveyor belt 24 and be conveyed by the conveyor belt 24 to the tray fixing position. When an empty tray 50 is loaded into the empty tray hopper 12, the empty tray 50 is conveyed by the conveyor belt 24 to a position below the empty tray hopper 12. The lifting mechanism lifts the empty tray 50 until it contacts the empty tray 50 above it. Then, the side telescopic support mechanism retracts, and all the empty trays 50 are pressed against the lifting mechanism. The lifting mechanism continues to lift the tray by the thickness of one empty tray 50. Then, the side telescopic support mechanism extends, allowing the lifting mechanism to retract, supporting all the empty trays 50. The lifting mechanism then retracts below the conveyor belt 24, awaiting the next empty tray 50. The first photoelectric sensor 27 is used to determine whether the full tray hopper 11 and the empty tray hopper 12 are empty, and to detect the presence of a tray 50 at its sensing position; it serves as an execution marker for each operation.
[0039] In this embodiment, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting cylinder 28 and a lifting plate 29 connected to the output end of the lifting cylinder 28; the side telescopic support mechanism includes a telescopic cylinder 30 and an insertion plate 31 connected to the output end of the telescopic cylinder 30; and support ear plates 32 are provided on both sides of the material tray 50. The support ear plates 32 are used to cooperate with the insertion plate 31 so that the side telescopic support mechanism can support the material tray 50.
[0040] In this embodiment, the empty tray hopper 12 further includes a second photoelectric sensor 33 installed on the top of the hopper frame 26. The second photoelectric sensor 33 is used to determine whether the empty trays 50 in the empty tray hopper 12 are full.
[0041] By adopting the above solution, this utility model provides a test tape-and-reel integrated machine, which has the following technical effects:
[0042] 1. Reduce the overall size of the equipment and improve the effective utilization rate of workshop production space;
[0043] 2. It saves a set of server racks and intermediate handling mechanisms, greatly reducing the manufacturing cost of the equipment.
[0044] 3. Reduce intermediate handling steps to further improve equipment stability.
[0045] In summary, this utility model can effectively reduce workshop space occupation, reduce equipment manufacturing costs, improve equipment stability, and maximize the customer's return on investment.
