Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of strip conveying technology, and in particular to a gripper structure for a powder compression molding and packaging system. Background Technology

[0002] In the semiconductor packaging process, the strip serves as a crucial carrier for the chip, and its conveying accuracy directly impacts packaging quality and production efficiency. Current mainstream automated production lines generally employ a design that separates the vision inspection system from the robotic gripper: first, a CCD camera or laser sensor identifies and positions the strip, and then an independent robotic arm completes the gripping and conveying actions.

[0003] This architecture originates from the modular design concept of early industrial automation equipment, where functional units are linked by electrical signals. In actual operation, multiple steps such as image acquisition, coordinate calculation, and robotic arm path planning need to be completed sequentially, resulting in a large space occupation and mechanical waiting time. Especially in high-cycle production environments, the robotic arm needs to be repeatedly started and stopped to match the inspection cycle, which not only generates additional energy consumption but also easily leads to positioning deviations due to frequent acceleration and deceleration.

[0004] While existing technical solutions can meet basic positioning requirements, the physical separation of the detection mechanism and the execution mechanism inevitably leads to problems such as structural space redundancy and asynchronous action timing. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a gripper structure for a powder compression molding and packaging system, so as to alleviate the technical problems of physical separation of the detection mechanism and the execution mechanism in the prior art, which results in large space occupation and low working efficiency.

[0007] In an optional implementation, The detection component includes a detection needle, and one side of the strip is provided with a detection hole for the detection needle to pass through.

[0008] In an optional implementation, The gripper assembly includes a gripper body and a rotating component; The gripper body is fixedly connected to the rotating component, and the driving force generated by the driving component acts on the rotating component to drive the rotating component to rotate along its own axis, so as to open and close the gripper body.

[0009] In an optional implementation, The driving component includes a driving element; The driving component is disposed on the mounting plate, and the driving shaft of the driving component passes through the mounting plate and is connected to the rotating component for transmission.

[0010] In an optional implementation, The drive assembly also includes a transmission component; One end of the transmission component is connected to the driving component, and the other end of the transmission component is connected to the rotating component. The transmission component is used to transmit the driving force generated by the driving component to the rotating component.

[0011] In an optional implementation, The transmission component is configured as a rotating rod, one end of which is rotatably connected to the drive shaft of the driving component, and the other end of which is fixedly connected to the rotating component.

[0012] In an optional implementation, The rotating component includes a first rotating shaft, a second rotating shaft, and a third rotating shaft; The gripper body is fixedly mounted on the first rotating shaft, the second rotating shaft, and the third rotating shaft; One end of the first rotating shaft is connected to the rotating rod.

[0015] In an optional implementation, One end of the mounting base is connected to the mounting plate, and the other end of the mounting base is connected to the driving component.

[0023] The specific embodiments of this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are for illustration and explanation only and are not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.

[0024] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, this embodiment provides a gripper structure for a powder compression molding and packaging system, used for gripping and orientation recognition of strip-shaped objects, suitable for feeding, handling, assembly, and other processes in automated equipment. This gripper structure for a powder compression molding and packaging system includes: a mounting plate 100, a drive assembly 200, a gripper assembly 300, and a detection component 400.

[0025] Mounting plate 100 serves as the foundational component of the gripper structure for a powder compression molding packaging system, supporting and securing other functional components. It can be a plate-like structure; preferably, mounting plate 100 is a metal plate or engineering plastic plate with sufficient rigidity and structural strength.

[0026] The drive assembly 200 is mounted on the mounting plate 100, preferably located on one side of the mounting plate 100, and its function is to provide power for the opening and closing action of the gripper assembly 300. The output shaft of the drive assembly 200 is connected to the gripper assembly 300, and the power of the drive assembly 200 is transmitted to the gripper assembly 300 through a transmission component to realize the opening and closing control of the gripper assembly 300.

[0027] The gripper assembly 300 is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 100, and includes at least two grippers forming a gripping space between them for gripping the strip 10. A detection component 400 is disposed on the mounting plate 100 and is used to detect the direction of the strip 10 gripped by the gripper assembly 300. The detection component 400 includes, but is not limited to, photoelectric sensors, image acquisition devices, laser rangefinders, and contact limit switches. The detection component 400 is positioned near the gripper assembly 300, preferably in the side area of ​​the gripper assembly 300, to achieve real-time detection of the direction of the strip 10.

[0028] Preferably, the detection component 400 specifically includes a detection needle 410 and a photoelectric sensor. The photoelectric sensor is disposed on the top surface of the mounting plate 100. The detection needle 410 is arranged through the mounting plate 100. One side of the strip 10 is provided with a detection hole for the detection needle 410 to pass through. When the detection needle 410 passes through the detection hole, the detection needle 410 does not move, and the photoelectric sensor outputs a signal indicating that the strip 10 is in the correct direction. When the strip 10 is in the wrong direction, the strip 10 pushes up the detection needle 410, the photoelectric sensor detects that the detection needle 410 has moved, and the photoelectric sensor outputs a signal indicating that the strip 10 is in the wrong direction.

[0029] In an optional embodiment, the gripper assembly 300 includes a gripper body 310 and a rotating member 320; the gripper body 310 is fixedly connected to the rotating member 320, and the driving force generated by the drive assembly 200 acts on the rotating member 320 to drive the rotating member 320 to rotate along its own axis so that the gripper body 310 opens and closes.

[0030] The gripper body 310 is the main actuating component of the gripper assembly 300, used to directly contact and grip the strip 10. The gripper body 310 can be made of metal or engineering plastic to ensure sufficient strength and durability. The shape of the gripper body 310 can be designed according to actual application requirements, for example, it can be flat, curved, toothed, etc., to accommodate strips 10 of different materials and shapes.

[0031] The rotating component 320 is the connecting part between the gripper body 310 and the mounting plate 100, and also the part that transmits power to the drive assembly 200. The rotating component 320 is fixedly connected to the gripper body 310, and the rotating component 320 is mounted on the mounting plate 100 through bearings or other rotating support structures, so that it can rotate freely around its axis.

[0032] One end of the transmission component 220 is connected to the drive component 210, and the other end is connected to the rotating component 320. The transmission component 220 is used to transmit the driving force generated by the drive component 210 to the rotating component 320. The transmission component 220 can be configured as a rotating rod, with one end rotatably connected to the drive shaft of the drive component 210 and the other end fixedly connected to the rotating component 320. The rotating rod can be connected to the drive shaft and the rotating component 320 by means of pins, keys, etc., to ensure stability and reliability during transmission.

[0033] The rotating component 320 specifically includes a first rotating shaft 321, a second rotating shaft 322, and a third rotating shaft 323; each of the first rotating shaft 321, the second rotating shaft 322, and the third rotating shaft 323 is fixedly provided with a gripper body 310, for example by threaded fasteners, welding, or an integral molding structure, to ensure that the gripper body 310 can rotate synchronously with the rotating shaft during rotation.

[0034] One end of the first rotating shaft 321 is connected to the rotating rod. In order to avoid the detection component 400, the first rotating shaft 321 and the second rotating shaft 322 are coaxially arranged and have a certain distance. The detection component 400 is located in the distance between the first rotating shaft 321 and the second rotating shaft 322. The third rotating shaft 323 is arranged parallel to the first rotating shaft 321 and the second rotating shaft 322. The third rotating shaft 323 is extended along its entire length and its length is greater than that of the first rotating shaft 321 and the second rotating shaft 322. The two ends of the third rotating shaft 323 are rotatably connected to the first rotating shaft 321 and the second rotating shaft 322 through the first rotating connecting rod 324 and the second rotating connecting rod 325, respectively, so that the first rotating shaft 321, the second rotating shaft 322 and the third rotating shaft 323 rotate synchronously.

[0035] The first rotating link 324 and the second rotating link 325 have the same structure, both consisting of two mutually hinged rotating link units. The two rotating link units are connected by a pin or hinge structure, allowing them to rotate relative to each other within a certain angle range.

[0036] Specifically, when the drive assembly 200 drives the first rotating shaft 321 to rotate, the first rotating link 324 drives the third rotating shaft 323 to rotate, which in turn drives the second rotating shaft 322 to rotate synchronously via the second rotating link 325. Thus, the first rotating shaft 321, the second rotating shaft 322, and the third rotating shaft 323 can rotate synchronously, thereby driving the gripper bodies 310 connected to them to perform synchronous opening and closing actions.

[0037] In an optional embodiment, the mounting plate 100 is provided with a plurality of support blocks 110, each support block 110 having a through hole for the rotating shaft to pass through. A bearing structure can be selectively installed in the through hole to ensure the stable rotation of the rotating shaft.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, the drive assembly 200 includes a drive member 210; the drive member 210 is disposed on the mounting plate 100, and the drive shaft of the drive member 210 passes through the mounting plate 100 and is connected to the rotating member 320 for transmission. The drive member 210 can be configured as a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder, a servo motor, or a stepper motor. Preferably, the drive member 210 is configured as a pneumatic cylinder. Pneumatic cylinders have advantages such as fast response speed, high control precision, and simple maintenance, and are suitable for rapid gripping operations in automated production lines.

[0039] In an optional embodiment, a mounting base 120 is provided on the mounting plate 100 for connecting the drive component 210. The mounting base 120 can be a bracket structure made of metal or engineering plastic, and has mounting holes or positioning holes to facilitate fixing the drive component 210 to the mounting plate 100. The position and structure of the mounting base 120 can be designed according to the type and size of the drive component 210 to ensure the stable installation and normal operation of the drive component 210.

[0040] This embodiment provides a gripper structure for a powder compression molding and packaging system. By integrating a drive assembly 200, a detection component 400, and a rotatably connected gripper assembly 300 on a mounting plate 100, it achieves efficient gripping and orientation detection of the strip 10. The specific technical effects are as follows: 1. Simultaneously complete capture and detection. By integrating the drive assembly 200 and the detection component 400 onto the same mounting plate 100 and working in conjunction with the gripper assembly 300, this embodiment can simultaneously complete the gripping and orientation detection of the strip 10 in one operation step.

[0041] The driving force generated by the drive component 200 acts on the gripper component 300, causing the gripper component 300 to open or close, thereby achieving reliable gripping of the strip 10.

[0042] While gripping, the detection component 400 can detect the direction of the strip 10 in real time and determine whether the direction of the gripped strip 10 is correct. If the detection result is that the direction is correct, the strip 10 is moved to the next process without the need for additional detection steps, which greatly simplifies the workflow.

[0043] 2. Streamline and optimize workflows Traditionally, the gripping and inspection processes are usually performed separately: first, the gripping mechanism grips the strip 10, and then a separate inspection mechanism inspects the orientation of the strip 10. This separate operation not only increases the number of steps but also reduces work efficiency.

[0044] This embodiment integrates the gripping and detection functions, enabling synchronous operation, reducing intermediate steps, and significantly improving equipment efficiency. For example, on an automated production line, it can greatly shorten the processing time for each workpiece and increase overall production speed.

[0045] 3. Improve equipment space utilization In traditional methods, the gripping mechanism and the detection mechanism are usually physically separated, each occupying its own space, resulting in a large overall size of the equipment and low space utilization.

[0046] This embodiment integrates the gripping and detection functions onto the same mounting plate 100, eliminating the original separate detection mechanism and reducing the equipment's footprint. This compact design not only improves space utilization but also makes the equipment more compact, facilitating installation and maintenance.

[0047] 4. Alleviate existing technical problems The main problem with existing technologies is that the detection mechanism and the execution mechanism are physically separated, resulting in large equipment space requirements and low work efficiency.

[0048] This embodiment effectively solves the above-mentioned problems by integrating the grasping and detection functions. On the one hand, it reduces the overall size of the equipment and improves space utilization; on the other hand, by completing grasping and detection simultaneously, it reduces unnecessary waiting time and intermediate steps, thereby improving the working efficiency of the equipment.

[0049] In summary, the gripper structure for a powder compression molding and packaging system provided in this embodiment integrates the drive component 200, the detection component 400, and the gripping component 300, achieving simultaneous gripping and detection. This streamlines and optimizes the workflow, improves equipment efficiency and space utilization, and effectively alleviates the problems caused by the physical separation of the detection and execution mechanisms in existing technologies. This innovative design not only improves production efficiency but also enhances the reliability and stability of the equipment, demonstrating significant technical advantages and application prospects.

[0050] The strip 10 conveying mechanism provided in this embodiment includes a gripper structure for a powder compression molding and packaging system.

[0051] Since the technical effect of the strip 10 conveying mechanism provided in this embodiment is the same as that of the gripper structure for a powder compression molding and packaging system provided in the above embodiment, it will not be described again here.

[0052] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein.
