Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chip manufacturing equipment technology, and in particular to a chip alignment device. Background Technology

[0002] Chip alignment devices are widely used in automated processes such as chip manufacturing, testing, mounting, and sorting. They are primarily used to perform preliminary attitude adjustment, position correction, and orientation constraint on chips before they enter subsequent processes, ensuring that the chips accurately enter the next processing stage. In practical applications, due to the tiny size and precise structure of chips, any misalignment, tilting, or rotation during transport or assembly can easily lead to mounting errors, soldering failures, or even product scrap. Therefore, installing alignment devices at the front end of the chip flow process is crucial for improving automation accuracy and ensuring process stability.

[0003] Some chip alignment mechanisms use mechanical paddles, push rods, or suction cups for positioning and adjustment, which pose risks such as complex structures, slow response, significant interference, or mechanical damage to the chip surface. Solutions that utilize motors or cylinders to perform the alignment action are costly, difficult to maintain, and lack operational stability. Furthermore, traditional alignment devices lack flexibility in adapting to chips of different sizes, have poor versatility, and are incompatible with multiple chip models, easily causing jamming, dropping, or misalignment, making it difficult to meet the precision requirements of current multi-specification, small-batch chip processing.

[0004] In the prior art, Chinese patent document CN221369283U describes a chip alignment device in which a chip is grasped by a robotic arm and placed in a tray (with grooves and bumps). A top block on a support frame drives the tray to vibrate, which is provided by a transmission system consisting of a motor, crank connecting rod, rotating sleeve, and top block, so that the misaligned chip falls back into the correct position. However, in practical applications, the alignment action of the above technical solution is not precise and can only be used for coarse correction. It cannot achieve angle correction or precise positioning. The vibration method is greatly affected by factors such as chip gravity and friction, and is prone to uncertain situations of "partial alignment and partial non-alignment". At the same time, the action is highly impactful and poses a risk of chip damage. Utility Model Content

[0005] In view of this, the purpose of this utility model is to propose a chip alignment device to solve the problems of complex structure, poor adaptability, easy damage to chips and inaccurate alignment in the prior art.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides a chip alignment device, including a slant plate, a guiding component, and a conveying component;

[0007] A guiding component, located inside the inclined plate, is used to initially guide and correct the chip passing through the inclined plate, providing a preliminary foundation for subsequent processes;

[0008] A conveying component, located on one side of the inclined plate, is used to receive the chip after it has been corrected by the guiding component, make adaptive adjustments, and convey it to the next process.

[0009] Preferably, the guide groove is fixedly formed inside the inclined plate. The guide groove is a V-shaped groove that gradually narrows to one side. One side of the guide groove is a rectangular groove, and baffles are fixedly installed on both sides of the rectangular groove.

[0010] Preferably, the conveying assembly includes a first limiting plate, which is fixedly installed on one side of the inclined plate.

[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of this utility model clearer, the present utility model will be further described in detail below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0028] It should be noted that, unless otherwise defined, the technical or scientific terms used in this utility model should have the ordinary meaning understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this utility model pertains.

[0029] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, a chip alignment device includes a ramp 1, a guiding component, and a conveying component. The ramp 1 is divided into left and right halves. A knob 16 is rotatably mounted on one side of the ramp 1. The knob 16 is rotatably connected to the half of the ramp 1 away from the knob 16. The knob 16 is threadedly connected to the half of the ramp 1 close to the knob 16. Multiple support frames 17 are fixedly mounted below the ramp 1. The bottom of the support frame 17 is on the same plane as the bottom of the first limiting plate 4 and the second limiting plate 5. The ramp 1 is divided into left and right halves. One side is threadedly connected to the knob 16 (for adjustment), and the other side is rotatably connected to the knob 16 (as a fulcrum). The included angle of the ramp 1 can be adjusted by using the knob 16 to achieve adaptation to different chip sizes and shapes.

[0030] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 4As shown, a guiding component is set inside the inclined plate 1 to provide initial guidance and correction for the chip passing through the inclined plate 1, providing a foundation for subsequent processes. A guiding groove 2 is fixedly formed inside the inclined plate 1. The guiding groove 2 is a V-shaped groove that gradually narrows to one side, with a rectangular groove on one side. Baffles 3 are fixedly installed on both sides of the rectangular groove. The baffles 3 are positioned at the position of the rectangular groove on one side of the inclined plate 1, perpendicular to and higher than the inclined plate 1. The inclined plate 1 is used to achieve gravity-driven sliding correction, reducing the transmission mechanism and improving stability and reliability. The guiding groove 2 uses a gradually narrowing structure to provide automatic centering and angle correction. As the chip slides into the guiding groove 2, its rotation angle is automatically adjusted to align its edge with the groove wall, achieving initial correction. Mechanical pre-correction is achieved based on the guiding groove 2, providing preparation for the limiting position of the rear baffle 3. The rectangular groove allows the chip to be held in a standard area, and the baffle 3... The final limiting structure constrains the chip in both the X and Y directions, achieving precise alignment. The baffle 3 is higher than the inclined plate 1 to prevent the chip from jumping out or shifting due to inertia. The support frame 17 ensures that the entire guiding structure remains stable and does not shake during operation. The first limiting plate 4 and the second limiting plate 5 are at the same height, which helps the chip guiding module to be quickly embedded into the workbench or automated conveyor line. When using this guiding device, the chip enters the top of the device from above or the conveying end and slides into the inclined platform formed by the inclined plate 1 (divided into left and right halves). Under the action of gravity, the chip slides down the inclined plate 1 and enters the guide groove 2. This groove is a V-shaped groove that gradually narrows on one side, achieving initial guidance and angle correction. The two sides of the chip gradually contact the walls of the guide groove 2, achieving automatic centering and rotation correction. The chip slides to the end of the guide groove 2 and enters the rectangular groove area at the bottom. The baffles 3 on both sides are vertically set on the inclined plate 1 to limit the left and right movement range of the chip. The chip finally enters the conveying assembly through the guide groove 2.

[0031] Furthermore, such as Figures 1 to 5As shown, a conveying assembly is located on one side of the inclined plate 1. It receives the chip after correction by the guiding assembly, performs adaptive adjustments, and conveys it to the next process. A first limiting plate 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the inclined plate 1. A second limiting plate 5 is engaged with one side of the first limiting plate 4. Multiple receiving slots 14 are provided on the first limiting plate 4, each accommodating a transmission roller 6. The transmission roller 6 is an elastic element made of soft silicone or TPU. Two bearings 9 are rotatably mounted below the transmission roller 6. The free end of a telescopic rod 7 is fixedly installed between the two bearings 9. The other end of the telescopic rod 7 is fixed to the inner wall of the first limiting plate 4. A spring 8 is sleeved on the outer side of the telescopic rod 7. One end of the spring 8 is fixedly installed on the bearing 9, and the other end is... The inner wall of the first limiting plate 4 is fixed. A pulley 11 is fixedly installed on one side of the transmission roller 6. Limiting sliders 10 are fixedly installed on both sides of the bearing 9. A sliding groove 15 is opened inside the receiving groove 14. The limiting sliders 10 and the sliding grooves 15 are used in conjunction. A belt 12 is sleeved between every two pulleys 11. Two motors 13 are fixedly installed below the inclined plate 1. The belt 12 is sleeved on one side of the transmission shaft of the motor 13. The internal structure of the second limiting plate 5 is the same as that of the first limiting plate 4. The first limiting plate 4 has a convex locking block on the side near the second limiting plate 5. The second limiting plate 5 has a concave locking groove on the side near the first limiting plate 4. The first limiting plate 4 and the second limiting plate 5 are fixedly connected to the two halves of the inclined plate 1, respectively. Corresponding to the snap-fit ​​connection (slot + slot), they are fixed on both sides of the inclined plate 1 to achieve double-sided clamping positioning of the chip fine-tuning channel. The two sides are respectively installed on the half-structure of the inclined plate 1, forming a symmetrical structure and even load distribution. The limiting plate has multiple receiving slots 14, with transmission rollers 6 arranged inside. The roller surface is made of soft material (TPU / silicone) to prevent the chip from being impacted or damaged by hard rollers, protecting the chip surface. Utilizing elastic rolling contact force, it provides gentle traction, suitable for slow transmission of precision chips. Multiple transmission rollers 6 are distributed to form continuous support, resulting in higher transmission stability. TPU / silicone has high friction and flexibility, suitable for the bottom surface of chips with coatings or microstructures. The transmission rollers 6 are installed on both sides via bearings 9, which are connected to the telescopic rod 7. The outer sleeve of roller 7 is fitted with a spring 8, enabling elastic displacement of the drive roller 6 under chip pressure. This provides a certain buffering capacity. When encountering fluctuations in chip dimensional tolerances, spring 8 provides automatic rebound adjustment force, enhancing adaptability. The combined design of spring 8 and telescopic rod 7 prevents damage caused by uneven chip force or overpressure. The rigid-flexible combination between support components ensures a dynamic balance between operational accuracy and flexible adaptability. A sliding groove 15 is provided in the receiving groove 14, and limit sliders 10 are provided on both sides of the bearing 9. These limit sliders work in conjunction with the sliding groove 15 to control the up-and-down movement direction of the drive roller 6, preventing lateral swaying or rotational deviation. The limit sliders 10 translate within the sliding groove 15, ensuring that the drive roller 6 always maintains a consistent position when acting on the chip, effectively guiding the trajectory of the drive roller 6 during elastic expansion and contraction, thus improving reliability.A belt 12 is provided between the pulleys 11 of every two transmission rollers 6. The belt 12 is connected to the output shaft of the motor 13 to realize the synchronous rotation of multiple transmission rollers 6. The chip runs stably without jamming throughout the entire transmission section. The motor 13 provides centralized drive, simplifying the drive layout. The belt 12 transmission structure has low noise, simple maintenance, and strong synchronization. The multi-roller belt 12 transmission is suitable for linear modular expansion, facilitating subsequent lengthening or segmentation. When this guiding device is in use, the chip slides down to the limiting plate area: the corrected chip slides from the bottom of the inclined plate 1 into the first limiting plate 4 and the second limiting plate 5. The constructed clamp-type conveyor channel places the chip onto a flexible raceway composed of multiple drive rollers 6. The roller surface material (silicone / TPU) provides a gentle contact force while possessing high frictional properties, effectively traction of the chip forward. The motor 13 drives the belt 12, which in turn drives the pulley 11, causing all the drive rollers 6 to rotate synchronously. The chip is smoothly conveyed to the next station as the rollers rotate, with a smooth and buffered process and precise positioning. If chip dimensional tolerances or slight clamping pressure are encountered, the drive rollers 6 automatically adjust via the telescopic rod 7 and spring 8 below them to ensure the chip passes through stably and without damage.
