Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of novel automatic feeding devices for integrated circuits, specifically a novel automatic feeding device for integrated circuits. Background Technology

[0002] In the field of integrated circuit manufacturing, the material handling process plays a crucial role in ensuring the efficient and precise operation of the production process. Traditional integrated circuit material handling methods have many obvious defects and urgently need improvement. In the early days, manual material handling dominated, requiring workers to manually transfer integrated circuit components from the tray to the corresponding processing position. This process not only consumed a lot of manpower but was also extremely inefficient, severely limiting the expansion of production scale. At the same time, manual operation is prone to risks due to fatigue, negligence, and other factors, leading to positional deviations and damage to components during the material handling process, which greatly affects the product yield and thus increases production costs. With the development of technology, some automated material guiding equipment has emerged, but it still has many shortcomings. For example, without guide tube fixtures, manual guiding is required, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. Moreover, there is no positioning and fixing at the interface between the material tubes, and the product pins may be scratched during manual guiding. Some automated material guiding devices have unreasonable flow channel designs, which can easily cause blockage and jamming of materials in the flow channel, seriously affecting the smoothness and continuity of material guiding. In addition, these devices lack sufficient flexibility and compatibility when dealing with integrated circuit components of different specifications and models, often requiring a lot of adjustments or even reconfiguration of the equipment, which consumes a lot of time and resources. Furthermore, the positioning accuracy during the material guiding process is difficult to meet the increasingly demanding production requirements, causing the integrated circuit components to deviate during transmission, affecting subsequent processing steps. In order to improve the efficiency of integrated circuit production, improve product quality, and reduce production costs, there is an urgent need for a new type of automated integrated circuit material guiding device to solve the various problems existing in the current technology and meet the stringent requirements of modern integrated circuit production.

For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; 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; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components. Those skilled in the art can understand the specific meaning of the above terms in this utility model according to the specific circumstances.

[0031] Reference Figures 1-6 This utility model provides an embodiment of a novel integrated circuit automatic feeding device, comprising a machine base, a feeding tray mounting area 2 above the machine base, a material tray 1 placed on the feeding tray mounting area 2, an air blowing device 3 above one end of the feeding tray mounting area 2, a diversion channel 5 connected to one end of the feeding tray mounting area 2 with the air blowing device 3, a U-axis servo 4 mounted on one side of the diversion channel 5, and a material tube mounting area 7 connected to the end of the diversion channel 5 away from the feeding tray mounting area 2, the material tube mounting area 7 being used to place plastic material tubes 6. The machine base, as the supporting foundation of the entire device, is made of high-strength metal material, possessing good stability and adaptable to various complex industrial production environments. The feeding tray mounting area 2 can accommodate standard material trays 1 of different specifications, ensuring the firmness and accuracy of the installation. An air blowing device 3 is installed above one end of the feed tray mounting area 2. Its function is to use airflow to lift the integrated circuit components in the feed tray 1, allowing them to smoothly enter the diversion channel 5, improving the component feeding efficiency and avoiding situations where components cannot be fed normally due to gravity or jamming. The diversion channel 5 uses a special smooth inner wall material to reduce the friction of the components during the flow process, ensuring that the components can pass through smoothly. A U-axis servo 4 is set on one side of the diversion channel 5, which can precisely control the angle and position of the diversion channel 5, realizing flexible adjustment of the component conveying path to meet the needs of different production processes. The material tube mounting area 7 is used to place the plastic material tube 6, providing a channel for the final conveying of components.

[0032] The diversion channel 5 has a channel inlet 21 at one end near the feed tray mounting area 2, and a channel outlet 22 at the other end away from the channel inlet 21. The channel inlet 21 is connected to the feed tray 1, and the channel outlet 22 is connected to the plastic tube 6. The channel inlet 21 can receive integrated circuit components blown from the feed tray 1, expanding the entry range of components and reducing the possibility of components failing to enter the channel due to positional deviation. The connection between the channel outlet 22 and the plastic tube 6 is sealed to ensure that components do not leak or fall during transport. The diversion channel 5 has a guide structure inside to guide components along a predetermined path from the channel inlet 21 to the channel outlet 22, preventing components from colliding or clogging within the channel. Furthermore, the dimensions of the channel inlet 21 and the channel outlet 22 can be adjusted according to different specifications of components and the plastic tube 6, enhancing the versatility of the device.

[0033] The air blowing device 3 includes seven sets of air blowing interfaces 31, which are fixed above the cover plate of the tray mounting area 2 by ball head screws 32. The seven sets of air blowing interfaces 31 are evenly distributed above the cover plate of the tray mounting area 2, ensuring that integrated circuit components from different positions can be blown up. The ball head screws 32 facilitate the installation and adjustment of the air blowing interfaces 31. By rotating the ball head screws 32, the angle of the air blowing interfaces 31 can be flexibly adjusted, thereby changing the air blowing direction to adapt to the structure of different types of trays 1 and the distribution of components.

[0034] The tube mounting area 7 connects to the flow channel outlet 22. Seven sets of slots are provided within the tube mounting area 7, with plastic tubes 6 placed on top of each slot. The slots are secured to the plastic tubes 6 by spring screws 11 at their bottom. The seven slots correspond to the flow channel outlets 22 of the distribution channel 5, ensuring that components output from each flow channel outlet 22 can accurately enter the corresponding plastic tube 6. The size and shape of the slots match common plastic tube specifications 6, ensuring the stability of the plastic tube 6. Spring screws 11 are installed at the bottom of the slots. Through the elasticity of the springs, they can adapt to plastic tubes 6 of different thicknesses and provide stable clamping force, preventing displacement or detachment of the plastic tube 6 during use. When it is necessary to replace plastic tubes 6 of different specifications, simply loosen the spring screws 11 to remove or replace the plastic tube 6; the operation is simple and quick.

[0035] The U-axis servo 4 is fixedly mounted below the flow channel 5 and perpendicular to it. The U-axis servo 4 includes a motor that controls the rotation of the entire platform. Once the platform rotates to the desired flow channel angle, automatic flow channeling is completed. The motor of the U-axis servo 4 is a high-precision servo motor, enabling precise angle control and ensuring that the flow channel 5 can be accurately adjusted to the required flow channel angle. A robust transmission mechanism connects the motor and the flow channel 5, ensuring the stability and reliability of power transmission. When the angle of the flow channel 5 needs adjustment, the operator can input the target angle value through the device's control system. The motor of the U-axis servo 4 will then drive the platform to rotate, moving the flow channel 5 to the corresponding position. During rotation, the U-axis servo 4 monitors the platform's rotation angle in real time and transmits the information back to the control system via a feedback system for precise angle adjustment.

[0036] An operation interface 10 is provided on one side of the machine, and a cooling fan 8 is fixedly installed on the side of the machine away from the operation interface 10. The operation interface 10 uses a touch screen display, allowing operators to easily set parameters for the device. The operation interface 10 can also display the real-time operating status of the device, including the remaining quantity of components in the material tray 1 and the operating temperature of the diversion channel 5, facilitating timely monitoring and adjustments by the operator. The cooling fan 8, installed on the side of the machine away from the operation interface 10, dissipates heat from the internal electronic components and motors.

[0037] Each of the four corners of the machine base is equipped with casters 9. These casters 9 are made of high-strength rubber, offering excellent wear resistance and anti-slip properties, allowing for stable movement on various floor surfaces. The casters 9 are highly maneuverable; a simple push changes the machine's direction of movement, facilitating position adjustments for operators within the production workshop. Furthermore, some casters 9 are equipped with brakes. Once the machine reaches the designated position, the brakes lock the casters 9, preventing displacement during operation and ensuring operational stability. The installation height of the casters 9 is carefully designed to keep the machine level during movement, preventing tilting that could affect material guiding. Moreover, the load-bearing capacity of the casters 9 has undergone rigorous testing, enabling them to withstand the full weight of the machine and the entire assembly, ensuring safety during movement and operation.

[0038] The detailed implementation methods disclosed in this article omit the detailed descriptions of known functions and known components. In order to ensure the compatibility of the assemblies, the operating methods used are consistent with the pipe diameter parameters available on the market.

[0039] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
