Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to a material transfer device, and more particularly to a tray material transfer mechanism. Background Technology

[0002] Currently, when loading chips onto trays, a vibratory feeder is mainly used, followed by a tape and reel machine to transfer the chips to the trays via a tubular transfer mechanism. Existing technologies do not yet include a tray-to-tray transfer mechanism.

[0003] Existing methods for clamping trays mainly include using cylinder clamping and screws to hold one corner of the tray in place. Using cylinder clamping requires an additional pneumatic system in practical applications, resulting in high implementation costs and complex structures. On the other hand, using screws to hold one corner of the tray often leads to gaps between the tray and the positioning structure, causing inaccurate positioning and poor positioning accuracy.

[0004] The aforementioned problems severely limit further development and widespread application in this field. Therefore, the purpose of this utility model is to provide a new technical solution to address these existing technical problems. Utility Model Content

Furthermore, all connections / linkages involved in the patent do not simply refer to direct contact between components, but rather to the ability to form a better connection structure by adding or reducing connecting accessories according to specific implementation conditions. The various technical features in this utility model can be combined interactively without contradicting each other, as described above. Figure 1-5 .

[0026] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides:

[0027] A tray material transfer mechanism includes a frame 1, on which a Y-axis moving module 2 and an X-axis moving module 3 are mounted. The Y-axis moving module 2 is equipped with a tray clamping module 5, which has limiting devices for the long and short sides of a tray 9 and is used to clamp the tray 9. The X-axis moving module 3 has a Z-axis moving module 4 that can move along its X-axis direction at its working end, and a vacuum adsorption module 6 at its working end. The Y-axis moving module 6 is used to transport the tray 9 loaded with material to a preset position. The X-axis moving module 3 and the Z-axis moving module 4 cooperate to drive the vacuum adsorption module 6 to the preset position, and the vacuum nozzle in the vacuum adsorption module 6 adsorbs the material on the tray 9 on the tray clamping module 5 on the Y-axis moving module 2 and transports it to another tray 9 to complete the material transfer. It also includes an upper cover 7 disposed above the X-axis moving module 3, Z-axis moving module 4, and vacuum adsorption module 6, and housing the X-axis moving module 3, Z-axis moving module 4, and vacuum adsorption module 5 within its inner cavity. The upper cover 7 has an opening for loading the tray 9. The Y-axis moving module 2 has a portion of its structure exposed from the opening of the upper cover 7. A grating device 14 is disposed above the portion of the Y-axis moving module 2 exposed from the opening of the upper cover 7. Specifically, the grating device 14 is disposed at a certain distance above the corresponding two sides of the opening of the upper cover 7, thereby improving safety.

[0028] In practical applications, when material loading is required, the Y-axis moving module 2 moves the tray clamping module 5 to the loading station. At this time, the tray 9 on the tray clamping module 5 is manually loaded. After loading, the starting position for material retrieval is manually set, followed by the quantity or ending position. The Y-axis moving module 2 then moves the tray clamping module 5 towards the X-axis moving module 3 to the preset position. Simultaneously, the X-axis moving module 3 drives the Z-axis moving module 4 to the appropriate position along the X-axis. The Z-axis moving module 4 drives the vacuum adsorption module 6 to move up and down, using the vacuum nozzle in the vacuum adsorption module 6 to transfer the material (chip) to another tray 9, completing the material transfer from tray 9 to tray 9. After retrieval is complete, the Y-axis moving module 2 moves the tray clamping module 5 back to its initial position. After resetting, the tray 9 is manually replaced, and the device can be used again.

[0029] In some specific embodiments, the tray clamping module 5 includes a tray carrier plate 51 fixed to the working end of the Y-axis moving module 2, and a long side fixed limiting block, a short side fixed limiting block, a long side movable limiting component, and a short side movable limiting component fixedly disposed on the tray carrier plate 51. The long side fixed limiting block, the short side fixed limiting block, the long side movable limiting component, and the short side movable limiting component together constitute the limiting device of the tray clamping module 5. The long side movable limiting component is used to elastically drive the first long side 511 of the tray 9 to be positioned and force the second long side 513 of the tray 9 to be limited at the long side fixed limiting block. The short side movable limiting component is used to elastically drive the first short side 512 of the tray 9 to be positioned and force the second short side 514 of the tray 9 to be limited at the short side fixed limiting block.

The long-side movable limiting component includes a first long-side movable limiting component 541 and a second long-side movable limiting component 542, and the short-side movable limiting component includes a first short-side movable limiting component 551 and a second short-side movable limiting component 552.

A limiting cover plate 563 is provided at the second opening of the limiting block groove. A compression spring 564 is provided between the end cover plate 563 and the movable limiting block 562. The compression spring 564 is used to drive the movable limiting block 562 to move towards the first opening of the limiting block groove so that the active end of the movable limiting block 562 elastically presses against the tray 9 that needs to be positioned. The tray plate 51 and / or the limiting block groove 561 are provided with a limiting structure for limiting the active stroke of the movable limiting block 562.

[0030] In this embodiment, the first long side movable limit component 541, the second long side movable limit component 542, the first short side movable limit component 551, and the second short side movable limit component 552 all have the same structure. In some other implementations, the first long side movable limit component 541, the second long side movable limit component 542, the first short side movable limit component 551, and the second short side movable limit component 552 may also adopt different settings.

[0031] In this embodiment, the second long side fixing limit block 522 and the second short side fixing limit block 532 are integrally formed L-shaped limit blocks. In some other embodiments, they can also be set separately, and the first short side limit block 531 is an L-shaped limit block.

[0032] In practical applications, the long and short sides of the tray 9 are positioned by the elastic force of the compression spring 563. By utilizing the elastic pressing characteristic of the compression spring 563, the accuracy and precision of the positioning can be guaranteed, thereby improving production quality and efficiency.

[0034] In some specific embodiments, the Z-axis movement module 4 is equipped with a matching camera module 41 and a light source 42. The camera module 41 includes a camera and a lens. The camera module 41 is used to acquire the specific position information of the material on the tray 9 and feed the position back to the control module of the mechanism. The light source 42 is used to provide the light required for the camera module 41 to work. In this embodiment, after the camera module 41 takes pictures of the tray 9, it can detect the material through these pictures, completing the detection process during material transfer and improving efficiency.

[0035] In some specific embodiments, the X-axis moving module 3 or the Z-axis moving module 4 is equipped with a vacuum source for use with the vacuum adsorption module 6. The vacuum source is connected to the vacuum nozzle in the vacuum adsorption module 6 via a pipeline. In practical applications, other conventional supporting components such as solenoid valves are also required, which will not be described in detail here.

[0036] In some specific embodiments, the frame 1 is equipped with the main unit, control unit, control circuit, control keyboard 11, and display screen 12 of the entire mechanism. The control keyboard 11 and the display screen 12 are foldably mounted on the side of the frame 1 via hinges 13.
