Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of chip encapsulation equipment technology, specifically to a cake feeding mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Molding equipment is a common production tool, frequently used in industries such as semiconductor manufacturing. In semiconductor manufacturing, it involves encapsulating neatly arranged wafers (such as lead frames) and epoxy resin cakes together within the molding equipment.

[0003] The existing briquette feeding device picks up briquettes from the conveyor belt using a clamping mechanism, places them on a transfer platform, and detects them using a weighing sensor. Qualified briquettes are then picked up by the clamping mechanism for feeding, while unqualified briquettes are pushed out by a push rod horizontally set on the side of the transfer platform. However, in order to avoid affecting the briquettes being pushed out of the transfer platform, this structure requires a very large opening and closing angle for the clamping mechanism, which in turn requires a large amount of working space. This increases the overall space and volume occupied by the structure and also affects the feeding efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0004] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this application provides a feed cake supply mechanism that reduces overall volume and space occupation, employing the following technical solution:

[0005] The cake feeding mechanism includes a conveying mechanism, and a detection module, a sorting module, and a feeding channel sequentially arranged at the end of the conveying mechanism along the X-axis; the detection module is used to detect the cake.

[0006] The top of the sorting module is equipped with a picking module, which can move the material cake between the conveying mechanism and the detection module, and between the detection module and the sorting module, and transfer it to one side of the feeding channel;

[0007] The sorting module includes a pair of openable support blocks. By opening and closing the support blocks along the Y-axis, defective cakes are removed.

[0008] Preferably, the support block includes a fixed block and a movable block, and a first power component connected to the movable block, the first power component being used to drive the movable block closer to or further away from the fixed block.

[0009] Preferably, the sorting module is provided with a waste collection box at the bottom for receiving the material cakes rejected by the sorting module.

[0010] Preferably, the picking module includes a cleaning section and a first gripping component for moving the material cake from the conveying mechanism to the detection module, and a second gripping component for moving the material cake from the detection module to the sorting module, wherein the cleaning section is used to clean the detection module.

[0011] More preferably, both the first clamping assembly and the second clamping assembly include a second power component and a pair of openable clamping plates, wherein the second power component is used to drive the clamping plates to open and close.

[0012] More preferably, the second gripping component is further provided with a pusher block for pushing the material cake on the sorting module into the feeding channel.

[0013] Preferably, it further includes a third power component, which is used to drive the pickup module to move along the X-axis.

[0014] Preferably, the detection module includes a detection component and a movable claw, as well as a support claw connecting the detection component. The movable claw can move along the Z-axis direction to move the material cake between the pickup module and the detection component.

[0015] Preferably, the conveying mechanism is provided with a mounting plate, and the detection module, the picking module, the sorting module and the feeding channel are all connected to the mounting plate.

[0016] Preferably, both the sorting module and the detection module are provided with placement slots for placing and limiting the position of the material cake.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this application are as follows:

[0018] (1) This application moves the material cake on the conveying mechanism to the detection module for detection by the picking module, and at the same time moves the material cake that has been detected on the detection module to the sorting module to realize continuous feeding of the material cake; the sorting module removes the defective material cake detected by the detection module by opening and closing along the Y-axis direction. When the sorting module removes the material cake, the picking module will not affect the sorting module, which can not only reduce the overall space occupied, but also improve the feeding efficiency.

[0019] (2) The detection module picks up the material cake from the picking module through the movable claw and places it on the support claw for detection, which can improve the detection accuracy. When the picking module picks up the material cake on the detection module, the movable claw can lift the material cake for the picking module to pick up, thus preventing the material cake from falling.

[0032] The technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the embodiments described in this application are only some embodiments of this application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0033] See Figures 1 to 5 To further elaborate on this application:

[0034] Combination Figure 1 The feed cake supply mechanism includes a conveying mechanism 10, and a detection module 30, a sorting module 40, and a feeding channel 50 sequentially arranged at the end of the conveying mechanism 10 along the X-axis direction; the detection module 30 is used to detect the feed cake 00. The conveying mechanism 10 is used to provide the feed cake 00, and the conveying mechanism 10 can be a known existing conveying mechanism.

[0035] The top of the sorting module 40 is provided with a pickup module 20, which can move the material cake 00 along the X-axis between the conveying mechanism 10 and the detection module 30, and between the detection module 30 and the sorting module 40, toward the feeding channel 50. The conveying mechanism 10 is provided with a mounting plate, and the detection module 30, the pickup module 20, the sorting module 40 and the feeding channel 50 are all connected to the mounting plate.

[0036] Combination Figure 5 The sorting module includes a pair of openable support blocks. By opening and closing the support blocks along the Y-axis, defective cakes 00 are removed. The bottom of the sorting module 40 is equipped with a waste collection box 60 for receiving the cakes 00 removed by the sorting module.

[0037] In this embodiment, the support block includes a fixed block 410 and a movable block 420, and a first power component 430 connected to the movable block 420. The first power component 430 is used to drive the movable block 420 closer to or further away from the fixed block 410. Both the movable block 420 and the fixed block 410 have notches; when the movable block 420 approaches and abuts against the fixed block 410, the notch forms a placement groove to support and limit the position of the material cake 00, preventing the material cake 00 from falling out of the sorting module.

[0038] When the picking module conveys the defective cake 00 detected by the detection module 30 to the sorting module 40, the support block opens along the Y-axis direction, that is, the first power component 430 drives the movable block 420 away from the fixed block 410; in this way, the defective cake 00 placed by the picking module 20 on the sorting module 40 will fall into the waste collection box 60 through the gap opened between the fixed block 410 and the movable block 420.

[0039] Combination Figure 3 The picking module 20 includes a first gripping component 210 for moving the material cake 00 from the conveying mechanism 10 to the detection module 30, and a second gripping component 220 for moving the material cake 00 from the detection module 30 to the sorting module 40. When the first gripping component 210 picks up a new material cake 00 from the conveying mechanism 10, the second gripping component 220 can simultaneously pick up the material cake 00 from the detection module 30. When the first gripping component 210 moves to the detection module 30 to place a new material cake 00, the second gripping component 220 simultaneously places the picked-up material cake 00 on the sorting module 40 and pushes the material cake 00 originally on the sorting module 40 into the feeding channel 50.

[0040] Both the first gripping assembly 210 and the second gripping assembly 220 include a second power component (2110, 2210) and a pair of openable clamping plates (2120, 2220). The second power component (2110, 2210) is used to drive the clamping plates (2120, 2220) to open and close. The second power component (2110, 2210) can be a finger cylinder.

[0041] Combination Figure 3 The second gripping component 220 is further provided with a pusher block 80, which is used to push the material cake 00 on the sorting module 4040 into the feeding channel 50. The pusher block 80 is located on the clamping plates (2120, 2220) of the second gripping component 220 near the feeding channel 50. When the picking module 20 moves a new material cake 00 onto the sorting module 40, the pusher block 80 pushes the material cake 00 previously placed on the sorting module 40 by the picking module 20 into the feeding channel 50.

[0042] Combination Figure 2 In this embodiment, a third power component 70 is also included. The third power component 70 is connected to the mounting plate and is used to drive the pickup module 20 to move along the X-axis direction. The third power component 70 may be a cylinder.

[0043] To prevent the material cake 00 from falling onto the detection module 30 due to its own weight when the pickup component releases it, thus affecting the detection accuracy.

[0044] Combination Figure 3 In this embodiment, the detection module 30 includes a detection component 310 and a movable claw 330, as well as a support claw 320 connected to the detection component 310 for supporting the material cake 00 so that the detection component 310 can perform detection. The movable claw 330 can move along the Z-axis direction to move the material cake 00 between the pickup module 20 and the detection component 310. The detection component 310 may be a weighing sensor, and the movable claw 330 may be driven by a cylinder. Both the movable claw 330 and the support claw 320 are provided with placement grooves to support and restrict the position of the material cake.

[0045] Compared with the prior art, this application uses the movable claw 330 to pick up the material cake 00 from the picking module 20 and place it on the support claw 320 for detection, which can improve the detection accuracy. At the same time, when the picking module 20 picks up the material cake 00 on the detection module 30, the movable claw 330 can lift the material cake 00 for the picking module 20 to pick up, avoiding the material cake 00 from falling due to the picking module 20 not gripping it firmly.

[0046] To prevent dust and other impurities from affecting the detection of the detection module 30, the pickup module 20 further includes a cleaning section 230, which is used to clean the detection module 30. The cleaning section 230 is an air nozzle that cleans the detection module 30 by blowing air. In embodiments not shown, the cleaning section 230 can also be a brush or similar component. Specifically, the cleaning section 230 is located between the first clamping component 210 and the second clamping component 220. When the pickup module 20 moves, it simultaneously moves the cleaning section 230 along the x-axis to clean the detection module 30, preventing dust particles and other impurities from falling onto the detection module 30, thus preventing abnormal detection and improving detection accuracy.
