[0025] Example

[0026] Reference Figure 1-4 This is the first embodiment of the present invention, which provides a semiconductor laser chip clamping device, including,

[0027] The conveying assembly 100 includes a bracket 101, a support platform 102 fixedly connected to the end of the bracket 101, a main shaft 103 rotatably mounted at the center of the support platform 102, a synchronous pulley 104 fixedly connected to the end of the main shaft 103, and a synchronous belt 105 adapted to be mounted on the side wall of the synchronous pulley 104. A support seat 106 is slidably connected to the side wall of the support platform 102, and the side wall of the support seat 106 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the synchronous belt 105.

[0028] The clamping assembly 200 includes a fixed base 201 inserted into the end of the support base 106, a limiting rod 202 fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed base 201, a push cylinder 203 fixedly connected to the end of the fixed base 201, and a push rod 204 fixedly connected to the end of the output shaft of the push cylinder 203. The push rod 204 is used in conjunction with the limiting rod 202, and a limiting groove is provided on the side wall of the limiting rod 202.

[0029] The conveying component 100 is the core component for transferring chips between multiple stations (picking station → detection station → packaging station). Synchronous transmission and rigid positioning ensure transfer accuracy. The bracket 101 and support platform 102 provide a stable reference surface for the transmission components. The main shaft 103 is rotatably mounted at the center of the support platform 102, with a synchronous pulley 104 connected to its end. The synchronous belt 105 is a polyurethane steel wire synchronous belt, driven by a servo motor to rotate the main shaft 103, causing the synchronous belt 105 to circulate and thus enabling the cyclic transfer of the support base 106. The support base 106 slides along the side wall of the support platform 102 with the synchronous belt 105 to support the clamping assembly 200. The clamping assembly 200 achieves stable chip clamping through the synergistic effect of side limiting and top pressing. A precision rotating shaft is installed at the bottom of the fixed base 201 and inserted into the bearing seat on the side wall of the support base 106. It can rotate around the support base 106 and switch different positions for processing as the track on the upper surface of the support platform 102 moves. Its rotation angle is monitored in real time by an angle sensor to ensure consistent posture. The limiting rod 202 is fixed to the side wall of the fixed base 201 by bolts. The side wall has a limiting groove to fit the chip edge (avoiding stress concentration caused by point contact). The push cylinder 203 is fixed to the end of the fixed base 201 by a bracket. Its piston rod is connected to the push rod 204 through a floating joint. The push rod 204 is set parallel to the limiting rod 202. The distance between them can be adjusted by the cylinder stroke to accommodate chips of different widths.

[0030] Specifically, the clamping assembly 200 also includes a support rod 205 fixedly connected to the end of the fixed base 201, and a pressure plate 206 hinged to the end of the support rod 205, with the end of the pressure plate 206 extending above the limiting rod 202.

[0031] The pressure plate 206 is hinged to the end of the support rod 205, and its end extends above the limiting rod. A silicone pad is attached to the bottom surface to prevent the chip from sliding.

[0032] Furthermore, a pressing cylinder 207 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed base 201. The end of the pressing cylinder 207 is hinged to the middle side wall of the pressure plate 206, and the side wall of the fixed base 201 is provided with a clearance hole for use with the output shaft of the pressing cylinder 207.

[0033] The bottom of the fixed base 201 is fixed with a bracket to press the cylinder 207, and its piston rod is hinged to the middle position of the pressure plate through a joint bearing. The side wall of the fixed base is provided with a clearance hole for the piston rod of the pressing cylinder 207 to extend and retract, drive the pressure plate to rotate around the support rod 205, realize flexible pressing of the top of the chip, and prevent the chip from warping due to side clamping.

[0034] Furthermore, a rotating shaft is installed at the bottom of the fixed base 201, and a bearing seat that mates with the rotating shaft of the fixed base 201 is installed on the side wall of the support base 106.

[0035] Preferably, the conveying assembly 100 also includes a guide rail 107 fixedly connected to the side wall of the support platform 102, and a guide wheel 108 rotatably mounted on the side wall of the support base 106. The side wall of the guide wheel 108 rolls in contact with the side wall of the guide rail 107, and a limiting groove is provided on the middle side wall of the guide wheel 108 to cooperate with the side strip of the side wall of the guide rail 107.

[0036] The side wall of the support platform 102 is fixed with guide rail 107 by bolts; the side wall of the support base 106 is fitted with guide wheel 108 by bearing, and the guide wheel 108 has a limiting groove in the middle to prevent the support base 106 from shifting.

[0037] It should be noted that a mounting base 109 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the support platform 102, a rotating rod 110 is rotatably mounted on the side of the mounting base 109, a positioning rod 111 is fixedly connected to the middle side wall of the rotating rod 110, and a positioning block 112 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the support base 106, with the end of the positioning rod 111 being engaged in the middle of the positioning block 112.

[0038] The positioning rod 111 is used to position the support base 106 in conjunction with the support platform 102 and the mounting base 109, so that the support base 106 can be stopped in a specific position, and to cooperate with the processing equipment to process the chip and maintain the chip processing accuracy.

[0039] Preferably, a positioning cylinder 113 is hinged to the lower side wall of the support platform 102, and a connecting plate 114 is hinged to the end of the positioning cylinder 113. The end of the connecting plate 114 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the rotating rod 110.

[0040] The positioning cylinder 113 is used in conjunction with the connecting plate 114 to drive the rotating rod 110 to rotate, thereby adjusting the connection state between the positioning rod 111 and the positioning block 112.

[0041] During use, the servo motor drives the synchronous belt 105 to move, moving the support 106 to the material picking position. The guide wheel slides along the guide rail 107 to ensure that the axis of the support 106 is aligned with the material box outlet. The positioning cylinder 113 is vented, and the piston rod extends to push the connecting plate, causing the rotating rod 110 to rotate, so that the positioning rod 111 is engaged in the center groove of the positioning block 112 of the support 106, locking the support 106. When the chip is placed in the middle of the fixed seat 201, the pushing cylinder 203 is vented, and the piston rod extends to push the push rod 204 to move towards the limiting rod 202, pushing the chip into the middle of the side wall groove of the limiting rod 202. The chip side is clamped by the synergistic action of the push rod 204 and the limiting rod 202. Then, the control equipment drives the pressing cylinder 207 to vent, and the piston rod extends to push the pressure plate 206 to rotate around the support rod 205, so that the silicone pad lightly presses the top center of the chip.

[0042] After the chip is stably clamped and positioned, processes such as packaging (e.g., gold wire ball bonding) and testing (e.g., optical power testing) are performed. During the process, the clamping component 200 remains in a clamping state to prevent chip displacement. After processing, the pressing cylinder 207 exhausts air, and the pressure plate 206 is lifted (detached from the chip surface). The pushing cylinder 204 exhausts air, and the push rod retracts (releasing the side clamping). The chip is placed on the carrier at the target station. The servo motor drives the support base 106 to return to the picking position, waiting for the next clamping cycle. The entire process is automated.

[0043] In summary, the coordinated transmission of the synchronous pulley and synchronous belt, combined with the guiding and limiting functions of the guide rail and guide wheel, ensures the movement accuracy of the support base. The rigid locking of the positioning rod ensures the relative positional error between the chip and the processing tool, meeting the stringent requirements of semiconductor laser chip bonding accuracy and probe inspection. Adjustable clamping force adapts to chips of different sizes, avoiding edge chipping caused by point contact. The top silicone pad ensures chip bonding without warping, while preventing stress damage. The fixed base can rotate synchronously around the support base, adapting to various scenarios such as material box picking, vertical packaging, and side inspection. By replacing different limiting rods and silicone pads of different hardness, it can adapt to irregularly shaped chips (strip, square) and chips of different materials (silicon-based, compound semiconductor), improving versatility.

Although only a few embodiments are described in detail in this disclosure, those who consult this disclosure will readily understand that many modifications are possible (e.g., changes in the size, dimensions, structure, shape and proportion of various elements, as well as parameter values ​​(e.g., temperature, pressure, etc.), mounting arrangements, use of materials, color, orientation, etc.) without substantially departing from the novel teachings and advantages of the subject matter described in this application). For example, an element shown as integrally formed may be composed of multiple parts or elements, the position of elements may be inverted or otherwise altered, and the nature or number or position of discrete elements may be changed or altered. Therefore, all such modifications are intended to be included within the scope of this utility model.

Therefore, this invention is not limited to the specific embodiments, but extends to various modifications that still fall within the scope of the appended claims.
