Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to a chip loading device and belongs to the field of chip testing technology. Background Technology
[0002] When a chip is being tested and packaged, it needs to be removed from its corresponding tray and placed onto its corresponding BIB (chip carrier board). Before this, the chip tray needs to be fed, and then a robotic arm will move the chip to a designated location after judging whether there are any defects, so that subsequent testing and packaging work can proceed.
[0003] Traditionally, pallet loading is done manually by placing the pallets at the picking station. However, this method requires personnel to remain on duty and constantly monitor for material shortages. This high level of personnel involvement not only increases production costs but also poses safety hazards due to potential conflicts with robotic arm movements. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a chip loading device for automatically loading chip trays. It can automatically realize the transfer and loading of trays without human intervention, which not only helps to improve the automation coverage, but also helps to reduce production costs and improve safety.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model employs the following technical solution:
[0006] This utility model provides a chip loading device, including a support frame and a rotating bracket disposed above the support frame. The support frame has a picking station, a loading station, and a unloading station arranged sequentially along a horizontal direction. A conveyor belt is mounted on the rotating bracket. The support frame is equipped with a first driving device for driving the conveyor belt. The conveying surface of the conveyor belt passes through the picking station, the loading station, and the unloading station. A first guide frame and a second guide frame are respectively installed at the loading station and the unloading station of the rotating bracket. The bottom of the first guide frame and the second guide frame have notches for pallets to pass through. A first lifting mechanism and a second lifting mechanism are respectively installed at the loading station and the unloading station of the support frame. A separating device is provided on both sides of the rotating bracket. The separating device is used to support multiple pallets piled up in the first guide frame and can separate the bottom pallet onto the conveyor belt.
[0007] Specifically, the material distribution device includes a second drive device, a third drive device, an insert block, and an insert plate. The insert plate is mounted on the insert block and its thickness is less than the thickness of the stacking gap between adjacent pallets. The second drive device is used to drive the insert block to move in the height direction, and the third drive device is used to drive the insert block to move in the direction of approaching or away from the conveyor belt.
[0008] Specifically, a third lifting mechanism is installed on the support frame at the material picking station, and a third support plate is provided at the drive end of the third lifting mechanism.
[0009] Specifically, the operating support is equipped with a baffle at the material handling station, which is used to limit the height of the third pallet.
[0010] Specifically, a photoelectric sensing device is provided above the second guide frame.
[0011] Specifically, a check valve assembly is provided on one side of the second guide frame. The check valve assembly includes a support member and a support plate rotatably mounted on the support member. The center of gravity of the support plate is close to one side of the second guide frame. In its natural state, one end of the support plate abuts against the bottom surface of the upper frame of the support plate, while the other end tends to be horizontal or horizontally positioned.
[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are as follows:
[0013] The chip feeding device provided by this utility model, through the cooperation of a lifting mechanism and a distributing device, enables multiple chip trays to remove the bottom chip and transport it to the conveyor belt for supply. After the supply is completed, the chip can be automatically returned to the unloading station via the conveyor belt. This can effectively reduce the degree of manual intervention, thereby achieving high-coverage automated production, which is conducive to reducing personnel application costs and improving production safety in the processing workshop.

[0021] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.

Thus, features defined with "first," "second," etc., may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, unless otherwise stated, "a plurality of" means two or more.
[0023] In the description of this utility model, it should be noted that, unless otherwise explicitly specified and limited, the terms "installation," "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 refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; and they can refer to the internal connection of two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model based on the specific circumstances. Example:
[0024] This utility model provides a chip loading device for automatically loading chip trays. It can automatically realize the tray transfer and loading without manual intervention, which not only improves automation coverage but also reduces production costs and improves safety. To realize the structural function of the device, it includes a support frame 1 and a rotating bracket 2 disposed above the support frame 1. A picking station, a loading station, and a unloading station are arranged sequentially along the horizontal direction on the support frame 1. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in order to move the pallet to the picking station for feeding, a conveyor belt 3 is installed on the operating support 2, and a first drive device 4 for driving the conveyor belt 3 is provided on the support frame 1. The conveying surface of the conveyor belt 3 should pass through the picking station, the loading station, and the unloading station, so that after receiving the pallet carrying the chips, the conveyor belt 3 can move to each station for feeding or recycling. To facilitate receiving and unloading, the loading station and the unloading station of the operating support 2 are equipped with [missing information - likely related to chip feeding or recycling]. The support frame 1 is equipped with a first guide frame 5 and a second guide frame 6, both with notches at their bottoms for pallets to pass through. The first guide frame 5 acts as a feeding support to prevent pallets from falling when multiple pallets are placed on it, while the second guide frame 6 acts as a discharging support to prevent vertically stacked pallets from falling when collecting them. To allow the pallets to interact with the conveyor belt 3, a first lifting mechanism 7 is installed at both the loading and unloading positions of the support frame 1. The second lifting mechanism 8 has an output end set as a first pallet 12 and an output end set as a second pallet 13. This pallet is used to place pallets carrying chips onto the conveyor belt 3 or to move pallets on the conveyor belt 3 to the corresponding second guide frame 6 for storage. When feeding chip-laden pallets, due to the accumulation of multiple pallets, the conveyor belt 3 cannot easily transport the pallet at the bottom. Therefore, a material distribution device is additionally provided on both sides of the operating bracket 2. The device is used to support multiple pallets stacked in the first guide frame 5 and can separate the bottom pallet onto the conveyor belt 3. The specific structure and implementation method are not limited here, but can be referred to the following text. With the above structure, when the pallet carrying the chip is being fed, the material separating device first separates the bottom pallet and supports the remaining pallets above it. The bottom pallet is supported by the first pallet 12 onto the conveyor belt 3, and the conveyor belt 3 transports the pallet carrying the chip to the picking position.
[0025] This utility model provides a chip feeding device, specifically a feeding device structure. Specifically, the feeding device includes a second driving device 9, a third driving device 10, an insertion block 11, and an insertion chip 16. Figure 2 As shown, the insert 16 is installed on the insert block 11 and the thickness of the insert 16 is set to be less than the thickness of the gap between adjacent pallets, so that the insert 16 can be inserted into the gap of the pallet to support the pallet carrying the chip, and the bottom pallet is ejected onto the first pallet 12 for placement. In order to ensure that the actions of each mechanism are coordinated, a second drive device 9 is provided to drive the insert block 11 to move in the height direction, and a third drive device 10 is provided to drive the insert block 11 to move in the direction of approaching or away from the conveyor belt 3, so that the insert 16 can move to the ideal position for insertion and support.
[0026] This utility model provides a chip feeding device. Considering that the robotic arm may press on the chip-carrying tray during material handling, and since the conveyor belt 3 lacks stability, instability may occur during material handling. To achieve good stable support, a third lifting mechanism 15 is installed on the support frame 1 at the material handling station. A third support plate 14 is provided at the drive end of the third lifting mechanism 15. The stable support of the third support plate 14 ensures the stability of the material supply. As a preferred embodiment, to prevent the chip-carrying tray from sliding on the third support plate 14, a baffle is provided on the operating bracket 2 at the material handling station. This baffle limits the height of the third support plate 14, thus limiting the height of the material handling position, ensuring the accuracy of the material supply height, and preventing the chip-carrying tray from slipping, improving the reliability of the equipment. After the material supply is completed, the third support plate 14 returns the chip tray to the conveyor belt 3.
[0027] The present invention provides a chip loading device. In order to prevent the recycled pallets from piling up too high in the second guide frame 6 and causing poor storage, a photoelectric sensor 17 can be provided above the second guide frame 6. When the empty pallets pile up to a sufficient height, an alarm can be set in time to prevent the second lifting mechanism 8 from over-operating.
[0028] This utility model provides a chip loading device, specifically a mechanism for automatically stacking chips on a second guide frame 6. Considering that when only the second lifting mechanism 8 is used, the second guide frame 6 can only serve a guiding function, in order to allow the second guide frame 6 to be stored, the second lifting mechanism 8 is configured as an execution mechanism for the storage action. Here, a check valve assembly can be provided on one side of the second guide frame 6, specifically including a support member 18 and a support plate 19 rotatably mounted on the support member 18. Figure 6 As shown, the center of gravity of the support plate 19 is set close to one side of the second guide frame 6. In its natural state, one end of the support plate 19 abuts against the bottom surface of the upper frame of the support plate 19, while the other end tends to be horizontal or set horizontally. At this time, the second lifting mechanism 8 is located below the second guide frame 6. When lifting the empty pallet, the empty pallet can drive the end of the support plate 19 to rotate so that the empty pallet can pass the position of the support plate 19 normally. After moving to a sufficient height, the support plate 19 automatically returns to the horizontal state under the action of gravity. Thus, when the second lifting mechanism 8 resets, the empty pallet group can be placed on the support plate 19. The second lifting mechanism 8 waits for the next lifting and pushing action until the accumulation of the empty pallet group is completed.
[0029] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
