Second, the placement head cannot perform real-time self-lubrication. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this utility model is to address the shortcomings of the existing technology by setting up a supplementary light block at the bottom of the recognition camera to solve the technical problem that the device cannot provide supplementary light when the camera is capturing chip images and collecting information, which easily causes the image to be blurry and affects the mounting effect. The invention also solves the technical problem that the mounting head of the device cannot perform real-time self-lubrication by setting up a lubrication tube on the mounting head.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A high-precision placement head mechanism includes a device board, a mounting base at the rear center of the device board, a device housing at the front end of the device board, a recognition camera at the rear center of the device housing, a supplementary light block at the lower end of the recognition camera, an image capture channel at the center inside the supplementary light block, a supplementary light mirror at the lower side of the supplementary light block, a swing arm unit at the upper front end of the device board, and guide rails at both the left and right front ends of the device board, with a placement head assembly slidably connected to the front of the guide rails.

[0007] As a preferred embodiment, the swing arm unit is provided with a swing arm motor at its rear end, and a drive shaft is provided at the center of the front end of the swing arm motor. The front end of the drive shaft is fixedly connected to the swing arm, and the swing arm motor is located on the rear side of the equipment plate.

[0008] As a preferred embodiment, the mounting head assembly has a device plate at its rear end, a device block at the upper front end of the device plate, a mounting head at the center of the front side of the device block, an air duct connecting tube at the uppermost end of the mounting head, a hollow motor at the center of the lower end of the mounting head, a hollow shaft at the center of the hollow motor, the hollow shaft passing through the hollow motor vertically, and a connector at the outer side of the lower end of the hollow shaft, the connector being movably connected to the mounting nozzle.

[0009] As a preferred embodiment, the upper end of the mounting nozzle is provided with a quick connector, the center of the quick connector is provided with an air passage, the lower end of the quick connector is provided with a sealing tube, and the lower end of the sealing tube is provided with a lubrication tube.

[0010] As a preferred embodiment, the upper right end of the lubrication pipe is provided with an oil injection port, the lower center of the lubrication pipe is provided with a sealing ring, the inner side of the sealing ring is movably connected to a sliding column, the sliding column is provided with a vacuum pipe, and the upper end of the vacuum pipe extends into the interior of the sealing pipe.

[0011] As another preferred embodiment, the lower end of the sliding column is fixedly connected to an anti-overflow fixing ring, the upper end of the anti-overflow fixing ring is provided with an inner groove, and the outer side of the sliding column is provided with a spring ring.

[0012] The beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0013] (1) In this utility model, by setting a supplementary light block at the bottom of the recognition camera, a supplementary light operation is performed when the recognition camera captures chip image information. When the recognition camera takes a picture, the supplementary light mirror at the bottom of the supplementary light block will use the reflection principle to enhance the light of the chip at the bottom and perform precise position supplementary light so that the recognition camera will not affect the image when taking pictures, and ensure the accurate chip mounting effect.

[0014] (2) In this utility model, by setting a lubrication tube to lubricate the sliding column in real time, the jamming when the nozzle picks up electronic components is reduced. The mounting head assembly will move down the guide rail in sequence on the left and right sides of the swing arm unit. After the mounting nozzle is pressed onto the worktable, the sliding column will rise due to resistance and slide into the lubrication tube. The sliding column will be lubricated in real time by the lubricating oil in the lubrication tube, so that it will not jam when frequently rising and falling to pick up electronic components, making it smoother. Then the mounting nozzle picks up electronic components through the vacuum channel. The spring ring plays a buffer role to avoid the pressure from damaging the electronic components. When the mounting head picks up the electronic components and rises, the spring ring will spring back to its original size, and the sliding column will also slide down and return to its original position to carry out the next mounting process.

[0015] (3) In this utility model, by setting an anti-overflow fixing ring, the lubricating oil will not overflow when the sliding column is lubricated in real time. The sliding column itself will not leave too much lubricating oil on the sliding column when it slides by rubbing against the sealing ring. However, a small amount of lubricating oil will inevitably accumulate on the sliding column after long-term operation. The inner groove of the anti-overflow fixing ring can collect the small amount of lubricating oil on the sliding column, avoid dirtying electronic components, and ensure the mounting quality.

[0016] In summary, this device has the advantages of providing supplemental lighting during chip image acquisition to ensure complete information and avoid blurring, and can also lubricate the placement head in real time when picking up electronic components to prevent jamming and ensure smoother placement, making it particularly suitable for the field of pick-and-place machine technology.

[0025] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0026] Example 1

[0027] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, this utility model provides a high-precision placement head mechanism, including a device plate 1, a mounting base 11 at the rear center of the device plate 1, a device housing 12 at the front end of the device plate 1, a recognition camera 121 at the rear center of the device housing 12, a supplementary light block 122 at the lower end of the recognition camera 121, a photographing channel 123 at the center inside the supplementary light block 122, a supplementary light mirror at the lower side of the supplementary light block 122, a swing arm unit 2 at the upper front end of the device plate 1, and guide rails 3 at both the left and right front ends of the device plate 1, with a placement head assembly 4 slidably connected to the front of the guide rails 3.

[0028] Furthermore, the rear end of the swing arm unit 2 is provided with a swing arm motor 21 to provide driving force. The front end center of the swing arm motor 21 is provided with a transmission shaft 22. The front end of the transmission shaft 22 is fixedly connected to the swing arm 23. The swing arm 23 is located at the upper end of the device block 411, and the swing arm motor 21 is located on the rear side of the equipment plate 1.

[0029] Furthermore, the mounting head assembly 4 has a device plate 41 at its rear end, a device block 411 at the upper front end of the device plate 41, a mounting head 42 at the center of the front side of the device block 411, an air duct connecting pipe 421 at the uppermost end of the mounting head 42 for connecting to an external vacuum pump for vacuum gas, a hollow motor 43 at the center of the lower end of the mounting head 42 for providing rotational driving force for the mounting nozzle 44, a hollow shaft 431 at the center of the hollow motor 43 for vertically penetrating the hollow motor 43, and a connector 432 at the outer side of the lower end of the hollow shaft 431 for movably connecting the mounting nozzle 44.

[0030] Furthermore, the upper end of the mounting nozzle 44 is provided with a quick connector 441. The quick connector 441 can be inserted into the connector 432 to ensure stability and also allows for quick replacement of the mounting nozzle 44. The quick connector 441 has an air channel in the center to provide space for gas passage. The lower end of the quick connector 441 is provided with a sealing tube 442 to ensure that the vacuum gas does not leak out. The lower end of the sealing tube 442 is provided with a lubrication tube 443.

[0031] Furthermore, the upper right end of the lubrication tube 443 is provided with an oil inlet 4431. When the lubrication oil inside the lubrication tube 443 is insufficient, oil can be added through the oil inlet 4431. The lower center of the lubrication tube 443 is provided with a sealing ring 4432. The inner side of the sealing ring 4432 is movably connected to a sliding column 446. When the sliding column 446 slides up and down by rubbing against the sealing ring 4432, it will not leave too much lubricating oil on the sliding column 446. The sliding column 446 is provided with a vacuum tube 4461. The upper end of the vacuum tube 4461 extends into the interior of the sealing tube 442. The vacuum tube 4461 can use an external vacuum pump connected to the air passage connecting pipe 421 to apply to the mounting nozzle 44 for picking up electronic components.

[0032] Furthermore, the lower end of the sliding post 446 is fixedly connected to an anti-overflow fixing ring 4462, and the upper end of the anti-overflow fixing ring 4462 is provided with an inner groove 4463. The outer side of the sliding post 446 is provided with a spring ring 445. The sliding post 446 itself will not leave too much lubricating oil on the sliding post 446 when it slides up and down by rubbing against the sealing ring 4432. However, after long-term operation, a small amount of lubricating oil will inevitably accumulate on the sliding post 446. The inner groove 4463 of the anti-overflow fixing ring 4462 can collect the small amount of lubricating oil on the sliding post 446, so as to avoid contaminating electronic components and ensure the mounting quality. The spring ring 445 plays a buffering role.

[0033] Working process: First, the equipment is installed onto the sliding device of the pick-and-place machine via mounting base 11. Then, the machine runs, and the recognition camera 121 begins to capture chip images and information. The supplementary light mirror at the lower end of the supplementary light block 122 uses the principle of reflection to enhance the light on the chip below, providing precise positional supplementary light so that the recognition camera 121 does not affect the image capture and there are no blurry or shadowy images, ensuring accurate chip placement. Next, the swing arm motor 21 runs, driving the drive shaft 22. The front end of the drive shaft 22 is fixedly connected to the left and right ends of the swing arm 23, which begins to press up and down, pushing the placement head assembly 4 device block 411 on the left and right sides of the lower end of the swing arm 23 along the guide rail 3. During the next downward movement, after the placement nozzle 44 presses onto the worktable, the sliding column 446 encounters resistance and rises, sliding into the lubrication tube 443. The sliding column 446 is continuously lubricated by the lubricating oil in the lubrication tube 443, allowing it to rise and fall frequently without jamming when picking up electronic components, making it smoother. Then, the placement nozzle 44 picks up electronic components through the vacuum channel 4461. The spring coil 445 acts as a buffer to prevent pressure from damaging the electronic components. When the placement head 42 picks up the electronic components and rises, the spring coil 445 will spring back to its original size, and the sliding column 446 will also slide down and return to its original position to proceed to the next placement process.

[0034] Secondly, the sliding post 446 itself will not leave too much lubricating oil on the sliding post 446 when it slides up and down by rubbing against the sealing ring 4432. However, a small amount of lubricating oil will inevitably accumulate on the sliding post 446 after long-term operation. The inner groove 4463 of the anti-overflow fixing ring 4462 can collect the small amount of lubricating oil on the sliding post 446, so as to avoid contaminating electronic components and ensure the mounting quality.
