Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of laser patch technology, and in particular to a semiconductor laser patch correction fixture. Background Technology

[0002] In the laser packaging process, the bottom surface of the recessed cavity on the upper surface of the heat sink base needs to be silver-plated. Then, solder paste is applied to the silver-plated surface, the chip is placed, and it undergoes reflow soldering. During the placement process, uneven force applied to the components by the pick-up nozzle or insufficient solder can prevent effective wetting, leading to insufficient pull force on one side. This can cause chip misalignment or skew, ultimately increasing the defect rate. Traditional correction methods involve operators observing and marking the misaligned chip position using a magnifying glass or microscope, then using a hot air gun to locally heat the solder, melting it, and readjusting the chip position. Tweezers or a vacuum pen are then used to fine-tune the chip to the center of the pad. This correction method suffers from low efficiency, unstable accuracy, susceptibility to secondary damage, and high cost. Utility Model Content

[0003] To address the aforementioned problems, this utility model discloses a semiconductor laser patch correction fixture that enables automatic identification and correction, solving the problems of low efficiency and high cost associated with traditional manual correction of chip misalignment.

[0004] The specific technical solution is as follows:

[0005] A semiconductor laser chip mounting and alignment fixture includes a processing table, on which a conveying mechanism and a displacement module are provided. The conveying mechanism is used to transport the laser housing after reflow soldering. A displacement seat is movably mounted on the displacement module. A mounting plate is longitudinally mounted on the lower end of one side of the displacement seat. Slide rails are longitudinally provided on both sides of the surface of the mounting plate. A movable plate is slidably mounted on the slide rails via a slider. The upper end of the movable plate is driven to lift and lower by a drive cylinder mounted on the displacement seat. A flipping frame is rotatably mounted on one side of the movable plate via a rotating seat and a rotating shaft. One end of the rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the center of the flipping frame, and the other end of the rotating shaft is driven to rotate by a drive motor mounted on the other side of the movable plate. A dispensing machine and a hot air gun are respectively mounted on both ends of the flipping frame. The drive motor drives the flipping frame to flip, so that the dispensing machine and the hot air gun respectively apply solder paste to the chip and melt the solder paste with hot air, so that the chip returns to the correct position under the action of the surface tension and wetting force of the solder paste.

[0006] Furthermore, an industrial camera is mounted on the bottom of the movable plate via a bracket. The lens of the industrial camera is aimed at the location of the components inside the laser housing and takes pictures for identification.

[0007] Furthermore, the nozzle direction of the dispensing machine is on the same straight line as the air outlet direction of the hot air gun.

[0008] Furthermore, the mounting plate has a recess at its lower end for accommodating the drive motor.

[0009] Furthermore, the displacement module includes two X-axis linear modules and one Y-axis linear module. The two X-axis linear modules are horizontally arranged on the worktable via a support frame, and one Y-axis linear module is movably arranged on the two X-axis linear modules. The displacement seat is slidably arranged on the Y-axis linear module.

[0010] Furthermore, the conveying mechanism includes a conveyor wheel, a conveyor belt mounted on the conveyor wheel, and a conveyor motor that drives the conveyor wheel to rotate. A shelf for placing the laser housing is mounted on the conveyor belt.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are reflected in:

[0012] This invention uses an industrial camera to photograph and identify the position of components, and a control system to determine whether there is a deviation. Then, a displacement module drives the correction fixture to move to the position of the deviated component. A hot air gun is used to melt the solder or to reapply solder paste to components with insufficient solder. This allows the component to return to the correct position under the action of the surface tension and wetting force of the solder paste, effectively improving the correction efficiency and accuracy.

[0019] Please see the appendix Figure 1-3 This embodiment provides a semiconductor laser chip mounting and straightening fixture for straightening components inside a laser housing after chip mounting and curing. The straightening fixture includes a processing table 1, on which a conveying mechanism 12 and a displacement module are mounted. The conveying mechanism 12 is used to transport the laser housing after reflow soldering. A displacement seat 4 is movably mounted on the displacement module, allowing the displacement seat 4 to move in two dimensions. A mounting plate 41 is longitudinally mounted on the lower end of one side of the displacement seat 4. Slide rails 43 are longitudinally mounted on both sides of the surface of the mounting plate 41. A movable plate 5 is slidably mounted on the slide rails 43 via a slider. The upper end of the movable plate 5 is bent and driven to rise and fall by a drive cylinder 6 mounted on the displacement seat 4. A flipping frame 7 is rotatably mounted on one side of the movable plate 5 via a rotating seat and a rotating shaft 71. The rotating shaft 71 horizontally passes through the movable plate 5, and one end of the rotating shaft 71 is connected to the flipping frame. The rotating frame 7 is fixedly connected to the center. The other end of the rotating shaft 71 is driven by the drive motor 8 located on the other side of the movable plate 5 to rotate 180 degrees. The two ends of the rotating frame 7 are respectively equipped with a dispensing machine 9 and a hot air gun 10. The nozzle direction of the dispensing machine 9 and the air outlet direction of the hot air gun 10 are on the same straight line. The drive motor 8 drives the rotating frame 7 to rotate, so that the dispensing machine 9 and the hot air gun 10 respectively apply solder paste to the chip and melt the solder paste with hot air, so that the chip returns to the correct position under the action of the surface tension and wetting force of the solder paste.

[0020] An industrial camera 11 is mounted on the bottom of the movable plate 5 via a bracket. The industrial camera 11 is electrically connected to the control system via a data cable. The lens of the industrial camera 11 is aimed at the position of the components inside the laser housing and takes pictures for identification.

[0021] A recess 42 is provided at the lower end of the mounting plate 41. The recess 42 is used to accommodate the drive motor 8 on the movable plate 5 so that it can be raised and lowered.

[0022] In this embodiment, the displacement module includes two X-axis linear modules 2 and one Y-axis linear module 3. The two X-axis linear modules 2 are horizontally arranged on the worktable by a support frame. One Y-axis linear module 3 is movably arranged on the two X-axis linear modules 2. A displacement seat 4 is slidably arranged on the Y-axis linear module 3. The displacement module is electrically connected to the control system, so that the control system can control the displacement module to drive the displacement seat 4 to perform planar displacement.

[0023] In this embodiment, the conveying mechanism 12 includes a conveying wheel 121, a conveyor belt 123 disposed on the conveying wheel 121, and a conveying motor 122 for driving the conveying wheel 121 to rotate. A shelf for placing the laser housing is disposed on the conveyor belt 123.

[0024] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: When the conveying mechanism 12 moves the laser housing to the designated detection station, the industrial camera 11 then aligns with the position of the components inside the laser housing and takes a picture for identification. The image signal is then uploaded to the control system to determine if there is any component misalignment. When the control system identifies the position of the misaligned component, the displacement module moves the hot air gun 10 above the misaligned component and heats it with the hot air gun 10. Under the action of the surface tension and wetting force of the solder paste, the component is straightened. Then the displacement module is reset, and the industrial camera 11 takes another picture for identification, completing the correction. If the misaligned chip is still misaligned, it indicates that the component has insufficient solder. The drive motor 8 drives the flipping frame 7 to rotate 180 degrees, and the dispensing machine 9 applies solder paste to the position of the misaligned component. Then the flipping frame 7 is reset again, and the hot air gun 10 heats it again to straighten it.

[0025] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model, but the scope of protection of this utility model is not limited thereto. Any variations or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in this utility model should be included within the scope of protection of this utility model. Therefore, the scope of protection of this utility model should be determined by the scope of the claims.
