Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to an integrated feeding and inspection equipment, and more particularly to an integrated feeding and inspection equipment that integrates a feeding and inspection turntable into one. [Background technology]
[0002] The double turntable alignment method is a widely used method for supplying and arranging electronic components. This method involves two turntables working together to organize the electronic components that were originally scattered in piles by passing them through the distribution turntable and the guidelines on the cover plate, and then placing them on the test turntable in a specific order, where they are then inspected for their appearance.
[0003] However, there is a difference in height between the supply turntable and the inspection turntable. To ensure smooth material arrangement and shifting, the supply turntable and inspection turntable must be level. Therefore, during the equipment construction stage, the supply turntable and the inspection turntable must be precisely adjusted for level, which makes the entire construction process complicated. Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]
[0004] As mentioned above, the prior art has the drawback that the overall construction process is cumbersome. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] The present invention relates to an integrated feeding and testing equipment that integrates the feeding function and the testing function into the same equipment, effectively reducing equipment costs and eliminating the need for separate adjustment steps for adjusting the levelness of the feeding turntable and the testing turntable.
[0006] The integrated supply and inspection equipment according to the present invention comprises a table, a turntable, a guide plate, a visual inspection device, and a sorting and collecting device; The turntable is rotatably mounted on the table, the guide plate is installed on the table and positioned above the turntable, the guide plate has an inlet and is used to input a plurality of materials onto the turntable, the guide plate has a guide set facing the turntable, the guide set guides the materials so as to be arranged in order without contacting the turntable, the appearance inspection device is installed on the table and positioned around the turntable, and performs an appearance inspection on each of the materials; The sorting and collecting device is installed on the table and positioned around the periphery of the turntable, and sorts and collects the materials based on the inspection results of the visual inspection device.
[0007] As a result, the present invention can integrate the feeding function and the inspection function into the same equipment, and such an integrated design can effectively reduce the overall equipment cost and at the same time eliminate the need for separate adjustment steps for adjusting the levelness of the feeding turntable and the inspection turntable.

[0009] (One embodiment) In order to explain the central idea set forth in the above invention content, specific embodiments are used below. To better explain the principles of the invention, specific language will be used to describe these embodiments. However, this is clearly not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
[0010] Various modifications and further improvements, including any application of the technical features and principles of the present invention, may be conceived and made by persons skilled in the relevant technical field, and these modifications and applications are also within the scope of the present invention. In addition, for ease of reading, some components are omitted from the drawings or drawn using virtual lines or the like.
[0011] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 6, the integrated supply and inspection equipment 100 of the present invention includes a table 10, a turntable 20, a guide plate 30, an appearance inspection device 40, and a sorting and collecting device 50.
[0012] The table 10 has a table surface 11 and an electronic control unit 12 on the front side (closer to the operator) of the table surface 11 for controlling the operation of the integrated supply inspection equipment 100 .
[0013] The turntable 20 is a disk that is rotatably mounted on the table 10 . As shown in FIG. 3, the turntable 20 has a fixed portion 21 at the center and a rotating portion 22 surrounding the periphery of the fixed portion 21. The rotating part 22 is made of glass. The turntable 20 is rotated by a drive motor (not shown) located inside the table 10 .
[0014] The guide plate 30 is installed on the table 10 and positioned above the turntable 20 . The guide plate 30 has an inlet 31 through which a plurality of materials 1 are introduced onto the turntable 20 . In the embodiment of the present invention, a stand frame 60 is further provided to be installed on the table 10 . One side of the guide plate 30 is fixed to the stand frame 60 . The opposite side of the guide plate 30 is fixed to the fixing part 21 . As shown in FIG. 3, both sides of the guide plate 30 are fixed to the fixing portion 21 and the stand frame 60 by fixing members 70 and 71, respectively. A hopper (not shown) is connected to the inlet 31 . The area of the guide plate 30 that shields the turntable 20 is smaller than half the area of the turntable 20 .
[0015] As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the guide plate 30 has a guide set 32 facing the turntable 20. The guide set 32 does not come into contact with the turntable 20 and guides the materials 1 to be arranged in order. In the embodiment of the present invention, the guide set 32 includes one central guide member 321 , three inner guide members 322 , and two outer guide members 323 . The central guide member 321 faces the central position of the turntable 20 , the outer guide member 323 faces the outside of the turntable 20 , and the inner guide member 322 is located between the central guide member 321 and the outer guide member 323 .
[0016] As a result, as the turntable 20 rotates, the materials 1 are guided by the guide set 32, aligned in order, and sent forward along the circular route, where they are inspected by the visual inspection device 40 and collected by the sorting and collecting device 50.
[0017] The present invention further includes a first distribution blow nozzle 80 and a second distribution blow nozzle 81 . The first distribution blow nozzle 80 is attached to the guide plate 30 and is spaced apart from the edge of the turntable 20; for example, the first distribution blow nozzle 80 is adjacent to one of the inner guide members 322 and blows air toward the center of the turntable 20. As a result, the materials 1 are arranged and advanced in order along the contour of the central guide member 321. The second distribution blow nozzle 81 is attached to the guide plate 30 and is adjacent to the edge of the turntable 20, and blows air toward the center of the turntable 20.
[0018] An opening 33 adjacent to one outer guide member 323 is provided on the outer side of the guide plate 30 , and the second distribution blow nozzle 81 thereby blows air through the opening 33 toward the center of the turntable 20 . In this way, the material 1 is kept moving forward in a circular route, and separation of the material 1 from the turntable 20 can be avoided.
[0019] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 6, the visual inspection device 40 is installed on the table surface 11 of the table 10 and is positioned on the periphery of the turntable 20, and performs a visual inspection on the material 1. The number of visual inspection devices 40 is adjusted and installed as needed. When there are a large number of visual inspection devices 40, they are arranged at intervals along a circular route, capture images of the material 1, and perform visual inspection.
[0020] As shown in Figures 1 and 6, the sorting and collecting device 50 is installed on the table surface 11 of the table 10 and is located on the periphery of the turntable 20, and sorts and collects the materials 1 based on the inspection results of the appearance inspection device 40. By installing the classification and collection device 50 in the appearance inspection device 40, the materials 1 that passed the inspection and the materials 1 that failed the inspection are classified and collected. The image of the material 1 captured by the visual inspection device 40 is used to determine whether the material 1 is acceptable or not using a program, and the result of this determination is provided to the classification and collection device 50, which then performs classification and collection.
[0021] To sum up, the present invention closely combines the supply function and the inspection function and integrates them into the equipment, allowing a single turntable to have the dual functions of a supply turntable and an inspection turntable, further simplifying the work and increasing efficiency. Compared to the conventional approach of separately installing supply and testing equipment, the present invention eliminates the space requirements and corresponding components. At the same time, by integrating the leveling of the supply turntable and the inspection turntable into one, users no longer need to perform separate leveling steps, further saving time and operation costs.
[0022] Although the present invention has been described with reference to the preferred embodiment, those skilled in the art can make various modifications without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
[0023] The above-described embodiments of the present invention are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention, and the scope of protection provided by the present invention is determined by the following claims. [Explanation of symbols]
