Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing devices for integrated circuits, and in particular to a fully automatic optical inspection machine for integrated circuit pins. Background Technology
[0002] The integrity of the pin configuration of an integrated circuit is a key factor in ensuring the reliability of subsequent assembly processes. If the pins are skewed, bent, or have abnormal spacing, the chip will not be able to be installed correctly or matched with other components. Therefore, the pin configuration of an integrated circuit must be strictly inspected before it enters the assembly process.
[0003] Currently, the industry generally uses optical inspection machines for testing. These machines utilize image processing technology to acquire three-dimensional morphological data of the pins through high-precision image acquisition devices. Advanced image processing algorithms are then used to calculate key parameters such as pin coplanarity, spacing, and tilt angle. The measurement results are then compared in real-time with preset standards to automatically determine whether the tested integrated circuit is qualified. Defective products exceeding tolerance limits are triggered and rejected, thus achieving rapid and accurate inspection of integrated circuit pins and meeting the demands of modern electronics manufacturing for high-precision automated inspection.
[0004] When existing optical inspection systems detect defective products, the inspection process usually needs to be paused to wait for the sorting equipment to remove the defective products before it can continue. This interruption process causes frequent interruptions in the production cycle, reduces the overall inspection efficiency, and restricts the smoothness of automated production. Utility Model Content

Detailed Implementation
[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.
[0021] Example: A fully automated optical inspection machine for integrated circuit pins, see reference. Figures 1-5The system includes: a base 1; a controller 2 fixedly mounted on the base 1, electrically connected to the base 1; a mounting bracket 4 fixedly mounted on the base 1 for placing integrated circuits; a first mounting bracket 3 slidably mounted on the base 1, which passes over the mounting bracket 4 when moving; an optical detector 31 slidably mounted on the first mounting bracket 3, which moves left and right; a second mounting bracket 6 slidably mounted on the base 1, which passes over the mounting bracket 4 when moving, with the heights of the first mounting bracket 3 and the second mounting bracket 6 offset; three sets of electric slide rails 5 fixedly mounted on the base 1 and the first mounting bracket 3, respectively connected to the first mounting bracket 3, the second mounting bracket 6, and the optical detector 31 to provide power to the three components, and all three sets of electric slide rails 5 are electrically connected to the controller 2; a servo motor 7 fixedly mounted on the second mounting bracket 6, which is electrically connected to the controller 2; and a lead screw 8 rotatably mounted inside the second mounting bracket 6. The following components are included: a connecting frame 9 fixed to the output end of the servo motor 7; a connecting frame 9 slidably mounted on the second mounting bracket 6, the connecting frame 9 being threaded onto the lead screw 8, the servo motor 7 providing power to the connecting frame 9 via the lead screw 8; an electric telescopic rod 10 fixedly mounted on the connecting frame 9, the electric telescopic rod 10 being electrically connected to the controller 2; a suction nozzle 11 fixedly mounted on the end of the electric telescopic rod 10; an air pump 14 fixedly mounted on the rear side of the base 1, the air pump 14 being electrically connected to the controller 2; an air pipe 12 fixedly mounted and connected between the air pump 14 and the suction nozzle 11, the air pump 14 controlling the suction nozzle 11 to adsorb integrated circuits via the air pipe 12; a retractor 13 fixedly mounted on the base 1 for taking in and releasing the air pipe 12, the air pipe 12 passing through the retractor 13; a guide frame 26 fixedly mounted on the base 1 for guiding the position of the air pipe 12, the air pipe 12 passing through the guide frame 26; a collection box 15 set on the base 1 for collecting integrated circuits; and a protective pad 25 fixedly mounted inside the collection box 15, the protective pad 25 being used to buffer the impact of the integrated circuits falling.
[0022] The coordinates of each placement position on the placement rack 4 are pre-calibrated to establish a coordinate system, and the motion control parameters of each set of electric slide rails 5 and servo motors 7 are set. Then, the integrated circuits to be inspected are neatly arranged in the placement rack 4. During the inspection process, the controller 2 controls the first mounting rack 3 to move back and forth and the optical detector 31 to move left and right, so that the optical detector 31 passes over each integrated circuit in turn to perform the inspection operation. When a defective product is detected, the optical detector 31 will send a signal to the controller 2. The controller 2 will calculate the target coordinates of the connecting rack 9 based on the real-time position coordinates of the optical detector 31, and control the second mounting rack 6 to move back and forth and the connecting rack 9 to move left and right to reposition it. After the connecting rack 9 moves to the top of the defective product, the controller 2 will start the electric telescopic rod 10 and the air pump 14 to work together, control the suction nozzle 11 to move downward to contact the defective product and perform adsorption. After adsorption is completed, it moves upward to remove the defective product. Finally, the defective product is transferred to the collection box 15 for unified storage.
[0023] Therefore, through the above-mentioned cyclic operation process, the parallel operation of the detection and sorting dual working modes can be realized. The two processes will operate independently and without interference, thereby avoiding frequent interruptions in production cycle, improving overall detection efficiency, and enhancing the smoothness of automated production. The rewinder 13 will rewind and extend the air tube 12 in real time according to the movement of the suction nozzle 11, keeping the tension of the air tube 12 moderate. The guide frame 26 is used to adjust the position of the air tube 12, so that the air tube 12 always remains neatly arranged as it moves with the suction nozzle 11, avoiding interference with the detection process. The protective pad 25 will provide buffer protection for the integrated circuit pins during the sorting process, preventing secondary deformation during adsorption and transfer, thereby reducing subsequent adjustment work for the pins.
[0024] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 4 and Figure 5It also includes: a mounting rail 16 fixedly installed on the right side of the base 1, with the collection box 15 slidably installed inside the mounting rail 16; a roller 23 rotatably installed on the mounting rail 16, with the roller 23 located between the mounting rail 16 and the collection box 15; a push plate 17 fixedly installed on the collection box 15, with the second mounting bracket 6 in contact with the collection box 15; a buffer pad 24 fixedly installed on the collection box 15 and the second mounting bracket 6, with the buffer pad 24 disposed on the contact surface between the two; a guide rod 18 fixedly installed on the mounting rail 16; a first return spring 19 sleeved on the guide rod 18, with both ends of the first return spring 19 fixed to the mounting rail 16 and the collection box 15 respectively; a mounting plate 20 fixedly installed at the front of the mounting rail 16; a clamping plate 21 slidably installed on the mounting plate 20, with an inclined surface at the bottom of the clamping plate 21, and a clamping hole on the collection box 15 for the clamping plate 21 to pass through, with the clamping plate 21 cooperating with the clamping hole to fix the collection box 15; and a second return spring 22 fixedly installed between the clamping plate 21 and the mounting plate 20.
[0025] As the second mounting bracket 6 moves forward, the collection box 15 moves forward synchronously, stretching the first reset spring 19. Therefore, the suction nozzle 11 only needs to perform left and right displacement when transferring defective products, thereby improving the transfer efficiency of defective products. When the inspection process is completed and no defective products are found, the first mounting bracket 3 will remain stationary. However, if an integrated circuit is found and picked up during the inspection process, the second mounting bracket 6 will push the collection box 15 to the foremost position. During this process, the collection box 15 causes the card plate 21 to cross the limit and enter the card hole. The second reset spring 22 then pushes the card plate 21 into the card hole, fixing the collection box 15. The integrated circuit can then be transferred for subsequent pin arrangement work. After the arrangement is completed, the operator only needs to move the card plate 21, and the first reset spring 19 will automatically pull the collection box 15 back to its original position. Then, the card plate 21 can be released to restore the initial state. The roller 23 is used to reduce the impact force when the push plate 17 contacts the second mounting bracket 6, thereby improving the safety and stability of operation.
[0026] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
