[0035] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5This application provides a robotic arm for chip manufacturing. The robotic arm includes a robotic arm 1, a mounting base 11, and a picking device. The mounting base 11 is connected to the robotic arm 1 and the picking device. The picking device is used to pick up chips. The picking device includes a substrate 2, a clamping assembly 3, and a suction assembly 4. The clamping assembly 3 is connected to the substrate 2 and includes toothed grippers 39 for clamping and fixing the chips. The suction assembly 4 is connected to the substrate 2 and communicates with an air passage assembly for adsorbing and fixing the chips.

[0036] The robotic arm provided in this embodiment connects the picking device and the robotic arm 1 via a mounting base 11. The picking device uses a clamping component 3 with teeth 39 and a suction component 4 to clamp and hold the chip. This combination allows for the fixing of chips of different sizes, ensuring that the chip does not fall off during transportation or assembly. For example, when degassing is required during chip manufacturing, the robotic arm can pick up the chip and transport it to a vacuum degassing machine for vacuum degassing. When the chip size is small, the robotic arm provided in this embodiment can use only the clamping component 3 to clamp and hold the chip, or only the suction component to hold and hold the chip, or it can use both the clamping component 3 and the suction component 4 to hold and hold the chip. This allows for precise clamping and suction of the chip, preventing it from slipping. This reduces manual operation time, increases the automation level of chip production, and thus improves the overall efficiency of the production line. The precise picking and placing mechanism reduces chip damage caused by improper operation, ensuring product quality and reducing the defect rate. By combining the gripping assembly 3 and the suction assembly 4, this robotic arm can better adapt to chips of various shapes and sizes, increasing the flexibility and applicability of the equipment. The meshing grippers 39 and the suction function of the connecting air passage assembly provide more precise operational control, facilitating high-precision chip processing tasks. The modular design makes it easier to maintain or replace individual components, reducing long-term operating costs.

[0037] In one feasible implementation, the mounting base 11 is movably connected to the substrate 2 of the picking device. This allows for flexible adjustment of the positional relationship between the picking device and the chip or other devices in the chip manufacturing system.

[0038] In one feasible implementation, the substrate 2 includes a connecting block 21 disposed on the mounting base 11, a first mounting block 22 disposed on the side of the connecting block 21 away from the mounting base 11, and a second mounting block 23 disposed at the lower end of the first mounting block 22. The clamping assembly 3 is disposed on the first mounting block 22, and the suction assembly 4 is disposed on the second mounting block 23. This design allows the first mounting block 22 and the second mounting block 23 to respectively mount the clamping assembly 3 and the suction assembly 4, and they are connected to the mounting base 11 via the connecting block 21. This allows the connecting block 21 to be adjusted in position on the mounting base 11, thereby ensuring that the clamping assembly 3 and the suction assembly 4 can be precisely aligned and clamp the chip, which is crucial for handling chips of different sizes, shapes, and positions.

[0039] In one feasible implementation, the mounting base 11 is provided with a fixed shaft 111, the connecting block 21 is sleeved on the fixed shaft 111, the connecting block 21 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 11 by an adjusting bolt 5, the connecting block 21 is provided with a fixing groove 2101 for fixing the adjusting bolt 5, and the mounting base 11 is provided with a first fixing hole 1101 and a second fixing hole 1102 for installing the adjusting bolt 5. The connecting block 21 is sleeved on the fixed shaft 111 of the mounting base 11, achieving initial positioning between the two. By adjusting the bolt 5 through the fixing groove 2101 on the connecting block 21 and screwing it into the first fixing hole 1101 or the second fixing hole 1102 on the mounting base 11, a firm connection between the connecting block 21 and the mounting base 11 is achieved, ensuring that the connecting block 21 and its clamping device will not shake or fall off during operation. When the adjusting bolt 5 passes through the fixing groove 2101 and the second fixing hole 1102, the clamping component 3 is used to fix larger chips. When the adjusting bolt 5 passes through the fixing groove 2101 and the first fixing hole 1101, the suction component is used to fix smaller chips.

[0040] In one feasible implementation, the first mounting block and the second mounting block can also be connected to the mounting base via other existing structures, which will not be elaborated here.

[0041] In one feasible implementation, the clamping assembly 3 further includes a mounting plate 31, a motor, and a transmission component. The mounting plate 31 is connected to the substrate 2. The motor is mounted on the mounting plate 31. The transmission component is connected to the output end of the motor, and also to the mounting plate 31 and the meshing jaws 39, used to drive the jaws 39 to open and close under the drive of the motor. This design, with the motor serving as the power source of the clamping assembly 3 and connected to the jaws 39 via the transmission component, achieves automated control of the jaws 39, enabling them to quickly and accurately perform the clamping and releasing actions on the chip. The jaws 39 in the clamping assembly 3 are symmetrically arranged about the mounting plate 31, a design that ensures the clamping force is evenly distributed on both sides of the chip, effectively preventing chip displacement, damage, or detachment caused by uneven clamping force.

[0042] In one feasible implementation, the transmission component includes a rotating shaft 33 disposed at the power output end of the motor 32, a main gear 34 disposed at the lower end of the rotating shaft 33, a driven gear 35 rotatably disposed at the lower end of the mounting plate 31 and symmetrically arranged, a rotating rod 36 disposed on the side of the driven gear 35 away from the main gear 34, a push plate 37 rotatably disposed on the rotating rod 36 and connected to the gripper 39, the push plate 37 being connected to the mounting plate 31 through a stabilizing rod 38, two driven gears 35 being meshed and connected, and the main gear 34 being meshed and connected to one driven gear 35. In this design, the motor 32 drives the rotating shaft 33 to rotate, causing the main gear 34 to mesh with a driven gear 35. This, in turn, causes the two driven gears 35 to drive the rotating rod 36 to move closer to each other, which in turn causes the gripper 39 to clamp and fix the chip. Through the meshing connection between the main gear 34 and the driven gear 35, as well as the transmission between the rotating rod 36 and the push plate 37, the power of the motor 32 is accurately transmitted to the gripper 39. This ensures that the gripper 39 can move according to the predetermined trajectory and force when clamping the chip, thus improving the clamping accuracy and stability.

[0043] In one feasible implementation, the suction assembly 4 includes a connecting tube 41, an air inlet 42, and a suction cup 43. The connecting tube 41 is connected to the substrate 2 and has a passageway communicating with the air inlet 42 and the suction cup 43. The air inlet 42 is connected to an air passage assembly. This design allows the suction assembly 4 to use the suction cup 43 as a clamping component, adsorbing the chip using negative pressure provided by an external air pump. The suction cup 43 precisely fixes the chip, making it suitable for smaller chips or chips requiring high surface quality. The soft, high-temperature resistant material of the suction cup 43 ensures a tight fit with the chip surface, guaranteeing a stable clamping effect. Simultaneously, the flexible contact of the suction cup 43 reduces stress concentration, protecting the integrity of the chip.

[0044] In one feasible implementation, the suction cup 43 of the suction component 4 is further provided with a curved tube assembly to extend the suction range of the suction cup 43 in picking up the chip. This allows the suction component 4 to pick up the chip simultaneously with the gripping component 3.

[0045] In one feasible implementation, the inner side of the gripper 39 is provided with serrations. The serrated structure can increase the friction with the contact surface of the object, thereby providing stronger gripping ability without increasing the pressure on the gripper 39, and improving the reliability and stability of chip gripping.

[0046] In one feasible implementation, an anti-slip pad is provided on the inner side of the gripper 39. The anti-slip pad increases the friction between the gripper 39 and the object being gripped (such as a chip), ensuring that the chip does not slip due to a smooth surface during handling. This is crucial for the handling of precision electronic components, as any mistake can lead to costly losses. Anti-slip pads made of appropriate materials can reduce physical damage to the product when gripping and releasing chips, preventing scratches or crushing, which is essential for maintaining chip quality. By reducing the possibility of slippage, the robot can place the chip more accurately in the predetermined position, improving positioning accuracy throughout the production process. Some anti-slip pad designs allow for a certain degree of elastic deformation, enabling them to better conform to chips of different shapes and sizes, increasing the application flexibility of the equipment.

[0047] In one feasible implementation, the inner side of the gripper 39 is provided with serrations and an anti-slip pad. This structure has the advantages of the aforementioned gripper 39, which will not be elaborated here.

[0048] Accordingly, this application also provides the aforementioned material handling device separately. The material handling device provided in this application has all the advantages of the aforementioned material handling device, which will not be repeated here.

[0049] Accordingly, this application also provides a chip manufacturing system. The chip manufacturing system includes any of the aforementioned pick-up devices or robotic arms. The chip manufacturing system provided in this application, by using the aforementioned pick-up devices or robotic arms, possesses all the advantages of the aforementioned pick-up devices or robotic arms.

[0050] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0051] The embodiments described above are merely illustrative of several implementations of this utility model, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
