[0006] Preferably, the separation execution component includes a separation drive, a separation push plate, and a limiting lock. The separation push plate is connected to the separation drive, and the separation drive drives the separation push plate to reciprocate laterally along a first direction.

Detailed Implementation

[0016] The technical solution protected by this utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, this application proposes a chip testing, sorting, and traying device, which includes a machine base equipped with a feeding module 1, a sorting module 2, a detection module 3, and a transfer module 4. Through the coordinated operation of these modules, automatic feeding, sorting, detection, and traying of chips before testing can be achieved, effectively improving production efficiency and reducing labor costs.

[0018] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the feeding module 1 is used to store and separate material tubes, and includes a hopper assembly 11, a transition support assembly 12, and a separation assembly 13 arranged sequentially along a first direction. The hopper assembly 11 includes two limiting end plates 111 arranged opposite each other along a second direction. The two limiting end plates 111 enclose a receiving area for vertically stacking multiple material tubes. The second direction is perpendicular to the first direction. A discharge opening is provided at the bottom of the limiting end plate 111 near the separation assembly 13. The height of the opening is greater than the height of a single material tube but less than the height of two material tubes, ensuring that only the bottommost material tube can be removed from the opening. The transition support assembly 12 extends horizontally and connects the hopper assembly 11 and the separation assembly 13, and is used to support the material tubes and maintain their stability. The separation assembly 13 is used for discharging single material tubes.

[0019] like Figure 1-4As shown, a separation execution component 14 is provided between the hopper assembly 11 and the separation assembly 13, for separating the material tubes in the hopper assembly 11 one by one and transferring them to the separation assembly 13. The separation execution component 14 includes a separation drive component 141, a separation push plate 142, and a limiting locking component 143. The separation push plate 142 is driven by the separation drive component 141, and the separation drive component 141 drives the separation push plate 142 to reciprocate laterally along a first direction. The separation push plate 142 has a positioning groove adapted to the material tube, and the bottommost material tube can be placed in the positioning groove. The limiting locking component 143 is provided on the outside of the limiting end plate 111, for locking the material tubes that are not at the bottom of the accommodating area, preventing them from moving during the separation process. Specifically, the limiting locking component 143 includes a limiting cylinder fixed on the limiting end plate 111. The push rod of the limiting cylinder can extend and insert into the penultimate layer of material tubes, thereby keeping the upper layer of material tubes stable when the separating push plate 142 pushes the bottom layer of material tubes.

[0020] like Figure 1-4 As shown, the separation assembly 13 includes a material support member 131 and a tilting drive member 132. The material support member 131 is movably disposed on the side of the transition support assembly 12 near the material distribution module 2, and is used to support the front end of the material tube. The tilting drive member 132 is connected to the material support member 131 and drives the material support member 131 to tilt around its front hinge point, so that the material tube is in an inclined state to output the internal chip. A recycling box 15 is provided on the side of the separation assembly 13 away from the hopper assembly 11. When the separation push plate 142 pushes the full material tube to the separation assembly 13, its end can simultaneously push the empty material tube located in the separation assembly 13 into the recycling box 15, realizing the automatic recycling of the empty tube.

[0021] like Figure 1-4 As shown, to improve the stability of the material tube during the flipping process, the separation assembly 13 is also equipped with a material tube positioning component 133 and a leak-proof material blocking component 134. The material tube positioning component 133 includes an extension bracket 1331, a pressing drive component 1333, and a pressing plate 1332. The extension bracket 1331 is fixed to the material support component 131 and extends upward to form a support arm. The pressing drive component 1333 is fixed to the support arm, and the pressing plate 1332 is connected to the output end of the pressing drive component 1333. The lower end face of the pressing plate 1332 is provided with a limiting groove adapted to the material tube. The pressing plate 1332 cooperates with the material support component 131 to achieve bidirectional positioning of the material tube in both the vertical and horizontal directions.

[0022] like Figure 4As shown, in addition, a vibration cylinder 1334 is provided at the end of the extension bracket 1331. The vibration cylinder 1334 contacts the rear end of the feed tube with a small stroke, causing the feed tube to vibrate slightly, promoting chip ejection and preventing jamming. A leak-proof baffle 134 is provided at the bottom front end of the feed support 131, including a lifting cylinder 1342 and a lifting baffle 1341. During the tilting process of the feed tube, the lifting baffle 1341 rises to block the front end of the feed tube, preventing the chip from accidentally falling during the flipping process.

[0023] like Figure 1 , 5 As shown in Figure 6, the material sorting module 2 is located on the discharge side of the separation component 13 and is used to receive and sort the chips. The material sorting module 2 includes a material guiding channel 21, a material sorting support platform 22, a first transverse drive mechanism 23, and a second transverse drive mechanism 24.

[0024] like Figure 5 As shown, the feeding channel 21 has an arc-shaped structure, with its inlet end bent upwards and connecting to the outlet end of the inclined feed tube, ensuring that the chip smoothly enters the feeding channel 21. Multiple air-blowing channels 211 are provided on the side wall of the feeding channel 21, each connected to an air-blowing device. Air is introduced into the channel to assist in chip delivery and prevent chip jamming. Along the chip delivery direction, the outlet end of the feeding channel 21 is sequentially equipped with a first baffle mechanism 25 and a second baffle mechanism 26. The first baffle mechanism 25 includes a first baffle rod and a first lifting cylinder, used to press down the chip in the feeding channel 21 to prevent continuous chip delivery. The second baffle mechanism 26 includes a second baffle rod and a second lifting cylinder, used to block the outermost edge of the chip in the feeding channel 21 to prevent the chip from falling out when switching receiving stations.

[0025] like Figure 5 and 6 As shown, the material distribution platform 22 is equipped with multiple receiving stations 221. Each receiving station 221 has a suction hole 222 at its lower end, which is connected to a vacuum adsorption device to adsorb chips during movement and prevent them from falling. The first transverse drive mechanism 23 and the second transverse drive mechanism 24 drive the material distribution platform 22 to move along the first and second directions, so that each receiving station 221 sequentially docks with the discharge end of the guide channel 21, realizing the orderly sorting and receiving of chips.

[0026] like Figure 1 As shown, the detection module 3 includes a vision inspection component, specifically a bottom vision camera mounted on the machine platform, used to inspect the appearance or defects of the chip.

[0027] like Figure 1 and 7As shown, the transfer module 4 includes a transfer actuator 41 and a pick-up assembly 42. The transfer actuator 41 drives the pick-up assembly 42 to reciprocate between the dispensing module 2 and the detection module 3, for transferring chips for detection and transferring qualified chips to a preset tray for stacking. The pick-up assembly 42 includes a connecting plate 421, on which multiple pick-up lifting cylinders 422 are evenly spaced. The lifting end of each pick-up lifting cylinder 422 faces downward and is connected to a vacuum adsorption plate 423 for adsorbing and releasing chips.

[0028] Preferably, the number of vacuum adsorption plates 423 is matched with the number of receiving stations 221 to achieve simultaneous picking and transfer of multiple chips. The transfer module 4 takes the chip from the receiving station 221 of the material distribution platform 22, transfers it to the top of the vision inspection component for inspection, and then accurately places the qualified chips into the material tray according to the inspection results.

[0029] The above description is merely an embodiment of this utility model and does not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
