Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of LED chip processing technology, specifically to a wire bonding structure for an LED wire bonding machine. Background Technology

[0002] An LED wire bonding machine is a device used in the LED packaging process to bond metal wires (such as gold, aluminum, or copper wires) to the LED chip and substrate. The LED wire bonding machine precisely solders the metal wires to the electrodes of the LED chip and the pads on the substrate using ultrasonic waves, hot pressing, or a combination of both, forming an electrical connection. However, existing LED wire bonding machines operate at high speeds, and the solder balls used for soldering dissipate heat slowly. When the solder joints fall onto the substrate, they are pulled away by the soldering needles before they have solidified, resulting in weak and unsightly solder joints that affect the LED chip's performance. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the problem of insufficient solder joint strength in existing LED wire bonding machines, this invention provides a wire bonding structure for the LED wire bonding machine. The specific technical solution of this invention is as follows:

[0004] A wire bonding structure for an LED wire bonding machine includes a machine base and a wire bonding mechanism, a conveying mechanism, and a feeding / receiving mechanism disposed on the machine base. The feeding / receiving mechanism is used to output and receive a substrate loaded with LED chips. The conveying mechanism is used to convey the substrate loaded with LED chips to a position below the wire bonding mechanism. The wire bonding mechanism is used to bond metal wires to the LED chips and the substrate to form an electrical connection. The wire bonding mechanism includes a bonding pin and a feeding component. The feeding component is used to feed metal wires to the bonding pin. The metal wires are bonded to the electrodes of the LED chips and the pads of the substrate. The wire bonding mechanism also includes an air blowing mechanism. The air blowing mechanism includes a gas cylinder and a gas nozzle.

[0012] Compared with the existing technology, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The LED wire bonding machine described in this application has a blowing mechanism in its wire bonding structure.

Thus, the use of "first" and "second" to define a feature may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature, and in this description of the utility model, "at least" means one or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0020] In this utility model, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "assembly," "connection," and "joining" should be interpreted broadly. For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; they can also refer to a mechanical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or a connection through an intermediate medium; or they can refer to the internal connection of two components.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, an LED wire bonding machine includes a machine base 1 and a wire bonding mechanism 2, a conveying mechanism 3, and a receiving / unloading mechanism 4 mounted on the machine base 1. The receiving / unloading mechanism 4 is used to output and receive a substrate 5 loaded with LED chips, outputting a substrate 5 before the LED chips are soldered, and receiving a substrate 5 after the LED chips are soldered. The conveying mechanism 3 is used to convey the substrate 5 loaded with LED chips to below the wire bonding mechanism 2. The wire bonding mechanism 2 is used to bond metal wires to the LED chips and the substrate 5 to form an electrical connection. The wire bonding mechanism 2 includes a soldering needle 6 and a feeding component 7. The soldering needle 6 is a magnetic nozzle. The feeding component 7 is used to feed metal wires to the soldering needle 6. The metal wires are soldered to the electrodes of the LED chips and the pads of the substrate 5. The wire bonding mechanism 2 also includes an air blowing mechanism 8. The air blowing mechanism 8 includes a gas cylinder 9 and an air nozzle 10. The gas cylinder 9 is connected to the air nozzle 10 and is used to supply air to the air nozzle 10. The air nozzle 10 is located next to the soldering needle 6 and is used to guide the air from the gas cylinder 9 to the soldering needle 6. The feeding component 7 is a feeding tray. After the feeding tray delivers the metal wire to the magnetic nozzle, the ignition rod of the wire bonding machine discharges, melting the end of the metal wire and forming a free air ball on the magnetic nozzle. This free air ball is then pressed onto the electrodes of the LED chip and the pads of the substrate 5 to form the first solder joint. The air nozzle 10 then blows on the solder joint, causing it to form a solder ball, which is not only strong but also facilitates observation of the LED chip's welding process. The wire bonding machine then moves the magnetic nozzle to weld the second joint using the same method. Finally, a cutting tool is used to cut the metal wire, completing the welding process. This process not only does not affect the working efficiency of the wire bonding machine but also makes the LED chip welding more robust.

[0024] In one embodiment, the wire bonding mechanism 2 includes a needle holder 11, the welding needle 6 is disposed on the needle holder 11, the air blowing mechanism 8 includes a fixing member 12, the air nozzle 10 is connected to the fixing member 12, and the fixing member 12 is fixedly connected to the needle holder 11.

[0025] In one embodiment, the air nozzle 10 is a universal joint tube, which makes it convenient for production personnel to adjust the air blowing direction of the air nozzle 10 and improve the welding quality of LED chips.

[0026] In one embodiment, the blowing mechanism 8 further includes a pressure regulator 13 for adjusting the air pressure of the nozzle 10, and the fixing member 12 is connected to the gas cylinder 9 through the pressure regulator 13.

[0027] In one embodiment, the gas in the gas cylinder 9 is nitrogen. Nitrogen prevents the metal wire from reacting with air.

[0028] In one embodiment, the wire bonding mechanism 2 further includes a CCD camera 14, which is located behind the pin holder 11. The CCD camera 14 is used to detect the soldering status of the LED chips, facilitating equipment adjustment by production personnel.

[0029] In one embodiment, the receiving and unloading mechanism 4 includes a substrate compartment 15 for storing substrates 5, the substrate compartment 15 being disposed on both sides of the machine base 1.

[0030] In one embodiment, the metal wire is a silver wire.

[0031] The LED wire bonding machine described in this application has a blowing mechanism 8. The air nozzle 10 of the blowing mechanism 8 is located next to the welding needle 6. After the welding needle 6 welds the LED chip, the blowing mechanism 8 cools the solder joint, which not only improves the firmness of the solder joint, but also makes the solder joint more beautiful and enhances the appearance of the LED chip.

[0032] In the description of this specification, the terms "in one embodiment," "preferred," "example," "specific example," or "some examples," etc., refer to specific features, structures, materials, or characteristics described in connection with that embodiment or example, which are included in at least one embodiment or example of this utility model.
