Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of electronic device packaging, and more specifically, to a carrier tape replacement tool. Background Technology

[0002] Carrier tape is a commonly used chip carrier in the packaging industry. Specifically, it is a strip-shaped material of a certain thickness, usually made of plastic or synthetic materials. It has evenly spaced holes (pockets) for holding electronic components and positioning holes for indexing and positioning along its length. Structurally, it also includes sealing tapes (cover tapes) on the top and bottom surfaces to seal the components and form a closed package.

[0003] The sorting machine uses a large amount of carrier belt, leading to frequent carrier belt replacements. To simplify the carrier belt replacement process, the industry has adopted a splicing method. Specifically, when replacing the carrier belt, scissors are used to cut the end of the exhausted previous reel of carrier belt and the beginning of the new reel of carrier belt, ensuring that the cuts of the two sections are identical and can be aligned. Then, splicing tape (a type of adhesive tape) is used to bond the joints of the two sections of carrier belt together.

[0004] However, when using scissors to cut, the cuts of the two carrier tape sections may not overlap, resulting in the two carrier tape sections not being on the same straight line after the splice tape is pasted. When the carrier tape passes through the equipment, it is very easy to be pulled apart. At this time, it is necessary to clean the old carrier tape and insert the new carrier tape, which is time-consuming and laborious. Alternatively, during the pasting process, the splice tape and the carrier tape are not on the same straight line, causing the carrier tape at both ends to be pulled apart when the carrier tape passes through the equipment, and the splice tape to be stuck to the cover plate. In this case, it is necessary to disassemble the corresponding module of the equipment, clean and reinstall it before inserting the new carrier tape. If the operator does not notice that the splice tape is left in the equipment, problems such as poor material feeding will occur during the production process. This situation directly affects the product and causes product loss. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a carrier tape replacement tool that ensures that the cuts of the two carrier tape sections are consistent, reduces the adverse effects caused by uneven carrier tape cuts or misaligned splicing tape, and improves production efficiency.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model proposes a carrier belt replacement tool, comprising: a base plate and a cover plate, wherein one side of the base plate is hinged to one side of the cover plate;

The carrier belt is fixed to the front side of the base plate by the carrier belt positioning member, and the extension direction of the groove is perpendicular to the length direction of the carrier belt.

[0009] When the cover plate drives the blade to rotate toward the front of the base plate, the blade cuts the carrier belt fixed to the front of the base plate and passes through the blade groove.

[0010] Optionally, both the base plate and the cover plate are rectangular and have the same dimensions;

[0011] One long side of the base plate is connected to one long side of the cover plate by at least one hinge.

[0012] Optionally, the blade is disposed at the center of the front side of the cover plate, and the extension direction of the blade is perpendicular to the long side of the cover plate;

[0013] The cutting groove is located at the center of the front of the base plate, and the extending direction of the cutting groove is perpendicular to the long side of the base plate.

[0014] Optionally, the carrier belt positioning component includes a plurality of first positioning pins disposed on the front side of the base plate. The plurality of first positioning pins are distributed in a straight line at intervals on the long side of the base plate, and the line in which the plurality of first positioning pins are located is parallel to the long side of the base plate.

[0015] One side edge of the carrier tape has continuous positioning holes along its length, and each positioning pin can pass through one positioning hole.

[0016] Optionally, a portion of the plurality of first locating pins is located on one side of the cutter groove and near one end of the base plate, while another portion is located on the other side of the cutter groove and near the other end of the base plate.

[0017] Optionally, one side of the cover plate is provided with a plurality of first through holes penetrating the cover plate, and the plurality of first through holes correspond one-to-one with a plurality of first positioning pins.

[0018] Optionally, the front side of the base plate is also provided with a material receiving belt limiting member, which includes a plurality of second positioning pins;

[0019] Multiple second positioning pins are distributed in a straight line at intervals near the other long side of the base plate, and the line containing the multiple second positioning pins is parallel to the long side of the base plate.

[0020] When the carrier belt is fixed to the front of the base plate by a plurality of first positioning pins, the other edge of the carrier belt abuts against the side of a plurality of second positioning pins.

[0021] When attaching the splicing tape, multiple second positioning pins are used to align one edge of the splicing tape with the edges of the two carrier tapes to be bonded.

[0022] Optionally, a portion of the plurality of second locating pins is located on one side of the tool groove, and another portion is located on the other side of the tool groove.

[0023] Optionally, the cover plate is provided with a plurality of second through holes penetrating the cover plate, and the plurality of second through holes correspond one-to-one with a plurality of second positioning pins.

[0024] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows:

[0025] This utility model's carrier tape replacement tool adopts a hinged base plate and cover plate structure. A blade perpendicular to the cover plate surface is provided on the front of the cover plate, a groove mates with the blade on the base plate, and a carrier tape positioning element (multiple first positioning pins) mates with positioning holes on the carrier tape on the front of the base plate. The extension direction of the groove and blade is perpendicular to the length direction of the carrier tape. The carrier tape can be fixed to the front of the base plate through the carrier tape positioning element. When the carrier tape needs to be replaced, the cover plate rotates the blade toward the front of the base plate, using the blade to cut the carrier tape fixed to the front of the base plate and pass through the groove, thus completing the cutting of the carrier tape. This tool ensures that the cuts of two sections of carrier tape are completely consistent, reducing the adverse effects caused by uneven cuts.

[0026] Furthermore, this solution also includes a material receiving tape limiting component (multiple second positioning pins) on the front of the base plate. When the carrier tape is fixed to the front of the base plate by multiple first positioning pins, the other edge of the carrier tape abuts against the side of the multiple second positioning pins. After the carrier tape is cut, the two sections of carrier tape can be fixed to the front of the base plate by multiple first positioning pins, and the cuts of the two sections of carrier tape are aligned at the knife groove position so that the two sections of carrier tape are in a straight line. Then, multiple second positioning pins are used to align one side edge of the receiving tape with the edge of the two sections of carrier tape to be bonded in a straight line. The receiving tape is then used to bond the surfaces of the two sections of carrier tape, thereby aligning and connecting the cuts of the two sections of carrier tape together, thus ensuring that the edge of the receiving tape is flush with the edge of the carrier tape, reducing the adverse effects caused by misaligned receiving tape. At the same time, both the cutting of the carrier tape and the bonding of the receiving tape are carried out by this tool, which can effectively improve the efficiency of carrier tape replacement, thereby improving production efficiency.

[0033] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, this embodiment provides a carrier belt 9 replacement tool, including: a base plate 1 and a cover plate 2, with one side of the base plate 1 hinged to one side of the cover plate 2;

[0034] The front of the cover plate 2 is provided with a blade 3 perpendicular to the surface of the cover plate 2;

[0035] The base plate 1 is provided with a knife groove 4 that mates with the blade 3. The front side of the base plate 1 is provided with a carrier belt positioning member that mates with the positioning hole 10 on the carrier belt 9. The carrier belt 9 is fixed to the front side of the base plate 1 by the carrier belt positioning member. The extension direction of the knife groove 4 is perpendicular to the length direction of the carrier belt 9.

[0036] When the cover plate 2 drives the blade 3 to rotate toward the front of the base plate 1, the blade 3 cuts the carrier belt 9 fixed to the front of the base plate 1 and passes through the blade groove 4.

[0037] In this embodiment, both the base plate 1 and the cover plate 2 are rectangular and have the same size; one long side of the base plate 1 and one long side of the cover plate 2 are connected by at least one hinge.

[0038] In this embodiment, the blade 3 is disposed at the center of the front side of the cover plate 2, and the extension direction of the blade 3 is perpendicular to the long side of the cover plate 2; the groove 4 is disposed at the center of the front side of the base plate 1, and the extension direction of the groove 4 is perpendicular to the long side of the base plate 1.

[0039] In this embodiment, the carrier belt positioning component includes a plurality of first positioning pins 5 disposed on the front side of the base plate 1. The plurality of first positioning pins 5 are distributed in a straight line at intervals near the long side of the base plate 1, and the straight line where the plurality of first positioning pins 5 are located is parallel to the long side of the base plate 1. A continuous positioning hole 10 is provided on one side edge of the carrier belt 9 along its length direction, and each positioning pin can pass through a corresponding positioning hole 10.

[0040] In this embodiment, preferably, a portion of the plurality of first positioning pins 5 are located on one side of the cutter groove 4 and near one end of the base plate 1, while another portion is located on the other side of the cutter groove 4 and near the other end of the base plate 1. Figure 1 As shown, a total of 8 first positioning pins 5 are provided on the base plate 1, with 4 pins forming a group. Two groups of first positioning pins 5 are respectively located on both sides of the knife groove 4, and at both ends of the base plate 1. The carrier tape 9 can be installed and fixed to the base plate 1 by fitting the positioning holes 10 on one side edge of the carrier tape 9 onto the multiple first positioning pins 5. Figure 2 As shown. If the two carrier tape positioning holes 10 are fixed on the same straight line by the first positioning pin 5, it can be ensured that the two carrier tapes are flush.

[0041] In this embodiment, a plurality of first through holes 6 are provided on one side of the cover plate 2, and the plurality of first through holes 6 correspond one-to-one with a plurality of first positioning pins 5. When the front of the top plate and the front of the bottom plate 1 are closed together, each first positioning pin 5 passes through a first through hole 6.

[0042] In this embodiment, the front side of the base plate 1 is also provided with a material receiving belt limiting member, which includes a plurality of second positioning pins 7; the plurality of second positioning pins 7 are close to the other long side of the base plate 1 and are distributed in a straight line at intervals, and the straight line where the plurality of second positioning pins 7 are located is parallel to the long side of the base plate 1.

[0043] When the carrier tape 9 is fixed to the front of the base plate 1 by multiple first positioning pins 5, the other edge of the carrier tape 9 abuts against the side of multiple second positioning pins 7; when pasting the splicing tape, multiple second positioning pins 7 are used to align one edge of the splicing tape with the edge of the two carrier tapes to be pasted.

[0044] In this embodiment, a portion of the plurality of second locating pins 7 is located on one side of the tool groove 4, and another portion is located on the other side of the tool groove 4. For example... Figure 1 As shown, four second positioning pins 7 are provided on the long side of the base plate 1, with two pins on one side and two on the other side. After the positioning hole 10 on one side edge of the carrier tape 9 is installed on the first positioning pin 5, the other side edge of the carrier tape 9 will abut against the sides of the four second positioning pins 7. When attaching the splice tape, placing one side edge of the splice tape against the sides of the four second positioning pins 7 simultaneously will align the edge of the splice tape with the edge of the carrier tape in a straight line, thus ensuring that the splice tape is not misaligned when attaching the joint of the two carrier tapes.

[0045] In this embodiment, the cover plate 2 is provided with a plurality of second through holes 8 penetrating the cover plate 2. The plurality of second through holes 8 correspond one-to-one with a plurality of second positioning pins 7. When the front of the top plate and the front of the bottom plate 1 are closed together, each second positioning pin 7 passes through a second through hole 8.

[0046] In the specific implementation process, a handle can be set on the back of the cover plate 2. When it is necessary to replace the carrier tape, fix the base plate 1 on a base and ensure that there are no obstructions under the base plate 1. Fix a section of the old carrier tape to the base plate 1 through the first positioning pin 5. Then, hold the handle to make the cover plate 2 rotate the blade 3 towards the front of the base plate 1. Use the blade 3 to cut the old carrier tape fixed to the front of the base plate 1. Then, use the same method to cut the starting end of the new carrier tape, so as to ensure that the cuts of the two sections of the carrier tape are completely consistent. Then, fix the two sections of the carrier tape to the base plate 1 at the same time through multiple first positioning pins 5, and align the cuts of the two sections of the carrier tape at the knife groove 4 so that the two sections of the carrier tape are on a straight line. Then, use multiple second positioning pins 7 to align one edge of the receiving tape with the edge of the two sections of the carrier tape to be bonded on a straight line. Use the receiving tape to bond the surface of the two sections of the carrier tape, thereby aligning and connecting the cuts of the two sections of the carrier tape together. Thus, the tool in this embodiment can ensure that the cuts of the two carrier tapes are consistent and that the splice tape is flush with the carrier tape. Both the cutting of the carrier tape and the pasting of the splice tape are carried out by this tool, which reduces the adverse effects caused by uneven cuts of the carrier tape or crooked pasting of the splice tape, thereby improving the efficiency of carrier tape replacement and production efficiency.

[0047] The above description is only a description of the preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the scope of the present utility model in any way. Any changes or modifications made by those skilled in the art based on the above disclosure shall fall within the protection scope of the claims.
