[0004] Such pogo pins have a minimum diameter of about 0.15 mm and a minimum length of 1 mm, and are produced with various specifications. Until now, the appearance inspection of pogo pins has been performed by microscopic naked eye inspection, and classification work has also been performed manually, resulting in low production efficiency.

[0005] In order to solve the conventional problems, a device that automatically performs visual inspection of the pogo pins is required, and an alignment device that can align the positions of the pogo pins is also required.

[0006] The above-mentioned problem occurs not only in pogo pins but also in small electronic components. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0015] Hereinafter, an electronic component alignment apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following description of the embodiment, the names of the components may be called by other names in the art. However, if there is functional similarity and identity between the components, the modified embodiment may be considered as an equivalent configuration. Furthermore, the reference numerals attached to the components are described for convenience of description. However, the illustrations in the drawings in which the reference numerals are described do not limit the components to the scope of the drawings. Similarly, if there is functional similarity and identity between the components in the drawings, the modified embodiment may be considered as an equivalent configuration. Furthermore, if a component is deemed to be included in the present invention in consideration of the level of a general engineer in the technical field, the description of the component will be omitted.

[0016] FIG. 1 shows a pogo pin, which is an electronic component to be aligned in the present invention.

[0017] The electronic component to be aligned in the present invention may be formed to have a predetermined length and may have magnetic properties. As an example, as shown in Fig. 1, the electronic component in the present invention is a pogo pin. The pogo pin 1000 is generally formed in a cylindrical shape, and inspection of the appearance of the curved side surface, top surface, and bottom surface is required. In particular, since the side surface is curved, a process of checking while rotating in a 360 degree direction is required for the appearance inspection.

[0018] Meanwhile, a vision camera module is mainly used when performing the visual inspection. In the case of the pogo pin 1000, when rotating for side inspection, the accuracy of the visual inspection can be improved if the following two conditions are satisfied. First, the pogo pin 1000 is uprightly erect in a vertical direction, and second, the central axis of the pogo pin 1000 and the central axis of rotation for rotating the pogo pin 1000 are configured coaxially. In order to satisfy the above two conditions, mechanical alignment can be considered, but the outer surface may be blocked by a tool unit (e.g., a gripper) for alignment. In particular, when the size of the pogo pin 1000 is small, there is a disadvantage that the ratio of the outer surface blocked by the gripper may be large. Meanwhile, when the configuration of the tool unit is miniaturized to minimize the area of ​​the outer surface of the pogo pin 1000 blocked by the tool unit, stress may be concentrated and the pogo pin 1000 may be damaged.

[0019] Therefore, the electronic component alignment device according to the present invention is configured to be able to change the attitude of the pogo pins 1000 and align them in a non-contact manner.

[0020] In the following, the subject of the present invention will be described in terms of a case where the electronic component is a "pogo pin." However, the subject of the present invention is not limited to this, and may be any electronic component that is magnetic, small, and long in shape.

[0021] In the following, the embodiments of the present invention will be described on the assumption that the pogo pins are aligned and rotated for visual inspection of the sides and top.

[0022] FIG. 2 is a perspective view of an electronic component alignment device according to an embodiment of the present invention, and FIG. 3 is an exploded perspective view of the electronic component alignment device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0023] 2 and 3, a perspective view of an electronic component alignment device according to an embodiment of the present invention may include a mounting unit 100, a main body unit 300, a magnet 400, a position adjustment unit 500, a position alignment unit 600, and a rotation driving unit 640.

[0024] The mounting unit 100 may be configured so that the pogo pins can be mounted on the upper surface. The upper surface of the mounting unit 100 may be provided with a mounting surface 110 configured to prevent the mounted pogo pins from slipping. For example, the mounting surface 110 may have a high friction coefficient or may have a recessed groove formed thereon to accommodate the end of the pogo pin. Meanwhile, the pogo pin mounted on the mounting unit 100 may maintain its position by a magnet 400 (to be described later) with its lower end in contact with the mounting unit 100. When mounted on the mounting surface 110, the pogo pin may stand vertically or tilted at a predetermined angle.

[0025] The recognition unit 200 may be provided around the mounting surface 110 of the mounting unit 100. The recognition unit 200 may be configured in a geometric shape. For example, it may be configured in a polygonal shape. The recognition unit 200 may be configured to include corners so that it can be recognized when photographed by a camera from vertically above or from the side. Therefore, the recognition unit 200 can be easily removed from an image photographed by a camera during visual inspection. In other words, the recognition unit 200 makes it easy to grasp the area in which the mounting unit 100 and pogo pins are indicated on the image.

[0026] The body part 300 is coupled to the lower part of the mounting part 100, and a space in which the magnet 400 described below can be installed may be formed inside. The space inside the body part 300 may be provided with a size that allows the magnet 400 to move a predetermined distance in the horizontal direction. The lower side of the body part 300 may be coupled to a first plate, which is the uppermost side of the position alignment part 600.

[0027] The magnet 400 is configured to adjust the standing position of the pogo pin. The magnet 400 may be provided vertically below the mounting part, or may be provided inside the body part 300. The magnet 400 may have a strength that allows a sufficient magnetic force to be exerted on the upper side of the recognition part 200, i.e., the mounted pogo pin. For example, the magnet 400 may be configured in a disc shape, and an upper part and a lower part may be configured to have different polarities.

[0028] The magnet holder (not shown) may be configured such that its center can be coupled with the magnet 400 and can be configured to be movable horizontally within the body 300. In this case, the upper part of the magnet holder (not shown) may be configured to be in close contact with the ceiling of the internal space of the body 300 and to be slidable.

[0029] The position adjusting unit 500 may be configured to adjust the horizontal position of the magnet 400. When the horizontal position of the magnet 400 is changed by the position adjusting unit 500, the magnetic field may be changed. Therefore, the direction of the magnetic force acting on the pogo pin mounted on the mounting unit 100 may change, and thus the attitude of the pogo pin may change. Meanwhile, as described above, when the horizontal position of the magnet 400 is adjusted to adjust the attitude (or angle) of the pogo pin, the lower end of the pogo pin may maintain contact with the mounting unit 100 without slipping.

[0030] The position adjustment unit 500 may include a first position adjustment unit 511 configured to adjust the position of the magnet 400 in the x-axis direction within the main body unit 300, and a second position adjustment unit 521 configured to adjust the position in the y-axis direction. The first position adjustment unit 511 penetrates the sidewall of the main body unit 300 in the x-axis direction, and an end portion thereof may support the magnet 400 or a magnet holder.

[0031] The position of the first position adjusting part 511 can be adjusted in the x direction by the first position adjusting part driving part 512 .

[0032] The length of the first position adjustment unit 511 inserted into the main body unit 300 may be adjusted. At this time, the position of the magnet 400 in the x-axis direction may be changed depending on the length of the first position adjustment unit 511 inserted into the main body unit 300. Meanwhile, a first elastic unit 513 may be provided on the opposite side of the first position adjustment unit 511 with respect to the magnet 400. The first elastic unit 513 may be configured to transmit a force to the magnet 400 toward the first position adjustment unit 511. Therefore, the magnet 400 receives a force to be brought into close contact with the end of the first position adjustment unit 511 by the first elastic unit 513. Therefore, the position of the magnet 400 in the x-axis direction may be adjusted depending on the insertion length of the first position adjustment unit 511.

[0033] The second position adjustment unit 521 is configured to apply pressure to the magnet 400 along the y-axis direction. The second position adjustment unit 521 may be configured similarly to the first position adjustment unit 511, and may be provided in a direction perpendicular to the first position adjustment unit 511. The position of the second position adjustment unit 521 in the y-axis direction may be adjusted by a second position adjustment unit driver 522. The second elastic unit 523 may be provided on the opposite side of the second position adjustment unit 521 with respect to the magnet 400. The function of the second elastic unit 523 is similar to that of the first elastic unit 513, and the direction of the force acting is the y-axis direction.

[0034] Meanwhile, the above-mentioned first position adjustment part 511, second position adjustment part 521, first elastic part 513, and second elastic part 523 have been described as directly contacting the magnet 400 to transmit force or change position, but they may be modified to a configuration in which they contact a magnet holder (not shown) to transmit force.

[0035] The position alignment unit 600 is configured to rotate the central axis of the pogo pin when the pogo pin is vertically erected by the position adjustment unit 500. The pogo pin is a small part, and when it is seated on the seating unit 100, it may slightly deviate from the center of the seating unit 100. Also, when the angle of the pogo pin is adjusted by the magnet 400, it may slightly slide, or the contact point on the upper surface of the seating unit 100 may change depending on the rotation angle if the end shape is a curved end, for example. That is, each time the pogo pin is seated and erected, the horizontal position of the central axis may change. At this time, when rotating around a predetermined axis, the pogo pin may make a circular motion. When the pogo pin makes a circular motion, it is difficult to obtain an accurate inspection image and the accuracy of the inspection may be reduced. In order to solve this problem, the position alignment unit 600 is configured to align the central axis of the seated pogo pin with the center of rotation by moving the main body unit 300 horizontally.

[0036] The position alignment unit 600 may include a first frame 610 , a first frame drive unit 611 , a second frame 620 , a second frame drive unit 621 , a third frame 630 , a base 650 , and a rotation drive unit 640 .

[0037] The first frame 610 may be configured to be relatively movable in the x-axis direction with respect to the second frame 620. An upper portion of the first frame 610 may be coupled to a lower portion of the base 650. The first frame 610 may be connected to the second frame 620 by a movement direction restricting means, for example, a linear guide, so that the first frame 610 can move only in the x-axis direction. The first frame driving unit 611 is installed in the x-axis direction and configured to adjust the position of the first frame 610 on the second frame 620 in the x-axis direction.

[0038] The second frame 620 may be configured to be movable in the y-axis direction relative to the third frame 630. The second frame 620 may be connected to the third frame 630 by a movement direction constraint means, for example, a linear guide. The second frame driver 621 may be configured to adjust the position of the second frame 620 in the y-axis direction.

[0039] The third frame 630 can be configured to be rotatable relative to the base 650 .

[0040] The rotation drive unit 640 can generate a driving force that can rotate the third frame 630 relatively to the base 650 .

[0041] The base 650 may have an upper portion to which the rotation driver 640 is coupled, and a lower portion to which the base 650 may be coupled to an external structure.

[0042] However, the order of the first frame 610 and the second frame 620 may be reversed.

[0043] The first frame 610, the first frame driver 611, the second frame 620, and the second frame driver 621 are configured to rotate together with the third frame 630. Therefore, when the third frame 630 rotates in a state where the positions in the x-axis and y-axis directions are adjusted by the first frame 610 and the second frame 620, the radius of rotation can be changed. That is, the x-axis and y-axis directions can be adjusted and rotated, and finally the rotation center of the first frame 610 can be aligned.

[0044] At this time, a control unit (not shown) may control the position alignment unit 600 based on an image acquired by an upper camera (not shown). This operation may be performed before or during the rotation of the seating unit 100. The control unit may control the position alignment unit 600 so that the central axis of the pogo pin finally coincides with the central axis around which the third frame 630 rotates.

[0045] FIG. 4 shows magnets and magnetic field lines in one embodiment of the present invention.

[0046] Referring to FIG. 4, the magnet in one embodiment of the present invention may be formed as a disk, and the pogo pin 1000 may receive magnetic force in different directions depending on the relative position from the center of the magnet 400. At the center of the magnet 400, magnetic field lines may appear in an approximately vertical direction. The inclination (θ1, θ2) of the magnetic field lines may become larger as one moves away from the center of the magnet. Therefore, by adjusting the relative position of the center of the magnet 400 and the pogo pin to change the direction of the magnetic field lines acting on the pogo pin, it is possible to adjust the attitude (angle) of the pogo pin 1000 in a non-contact manner.

[0047] 5a and 5b show a concept of adjusting the attitude of a pogo pin by adjusting the position of magnetic lines of force in one embodiment of the present invention.

[0048] 5a, as described above, when the pogo pin 1000 is transferred to the mounting surface 110 by a separate PNP (Pick up & placing) device, the position of the lower section may be minutely changed. The pogo pin 1000 may be maintained in an upright state by the magnet 400 with the lower section in contact with the mounting surface 110. The posture of the pogo pin 1000 may be determined according to the relative position of the lower section of the pogo pin 1000 and the magnet 400.

[0049] Referring to FIG. 5b, when the position of the magnet 400 is adjusted in the horizontal direction, preferably when the horizontal position of the lower part of the pogo pin 1000 and the position of the central part of the magnet 400 are aligned, the pogo pin 1000 can stand upright.

[0050] FIG. 6 shows a modification of the magnet in one embodiment of the present invention.

[0051] Referring to FIG. 6, the magnet in the electronic component alignment device according to the embodiment of the present invention may be configured in various shapes. As an example, the magnet 400 may be configured in a ring shape. When the magnet 400 is configured in a ring shape, a vertical magnetic field is generated from the center of a hole formed in the center, and the magnetic flux is increased, so that the posture of the pogo pin can be adjusted more easily. However, the shape of the magnet 400 is only an example, and the magnet 400 may be modified into various configurations in which a vertical magnetic field is generated in the center and the direction of the magnetic field is changed when moving away from the center. That is, the magnet 400 may be modified into various shapes in which the posture of the pogo pin seated on the upper side of the magnet can be adjusted by the magnetic force. As an example, the cross section of the magnet may be configured in a polygonal shape, and may be modified into a shape with holes in the vertical direction so that the magnetic force can be concentrated in the center. Also, the magnet may be modified into a thin plate shape or a thick column shape.

[0052] 7a, 7b and 7c are operation state diagrams showing a position adjustment concept of an electronic component alignment device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0053] 7a, an external transport device can transport the pogo pin 1000 to the mounting surface 110 of the mounting part 100. At this time, the external transport device is the PNP device 2.

[0054] 7b, when the external transport device 2 completes placing the pogo pins 1000 on the mounting part 100, the pogo pins 1000 can maintain their posture by receiving gravity and magnetic force from the magnet. At this time, the pogo pins can be tilted at a specific angle (θ) depending on the difference in the mounting position of the pogo pins 1000 and the position of the magnet.

[0055] Referring to FIG. 7c, the horizontal position of the magnet 400 is then finely adjusted to move the central axis a3 of the magnet horizontally, and the angle of the central axis a2 of the pogo pin is adjusted vertically, so that the central axes a2 and a3 become coaxial. When the horizontal position of the magnet 400 is adjusted, the direction of the magnetic lines of force is changed on the upper side of the mounting surface 110. As a result, the direction of the magnetic force changes according to the changed magnetic lines of force, so that the pogo pin 1000 can be made to stand upright on the mounting part 100. At this time, the position of the magnet 400 can be controlled by controlling the first position adjustment part driving part 512. Also, the first position adjustment part driving part 512 can be controlled while measuring (or calculating) the angle of the pogo pin using a camera. When the pogo pin 1000 stands upright on the mounting part 100, the operation of the first position adjustment part driving part 512 is stopped.

[0056] Meanwhile, in this drawing, for convenience of explanation, an example is shown in which the magnet 400 is moved by the first position adjustment unit 511 to align the pogo pins 1000, but the second position adjustment unit 521 can also be moved to independently adjust the position of the magnet 400 similar to the first position adjustment unit 511. For this purpose, the second position adjustment unit 522 can be independently controlled.

[0057] 8a, 8b, and 8c are operation state diagrams showing the position alignment concept of an electronic component alignment device according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0058] In the present disclosure, when the pogo pins are upright, the position alignment unit aligns the central axes of the pogo pins with the central axis of the rotation drive unit, i.e., aligns the central axes of the pogo pins with the center of rotation by adjusting the position of the main body unit in the x and y directions horizontally.

[0059] Referring to FIG. 8a, the first frame is moved in the x-direction over the second frame to align the central axes of the pogo pins.

[0060] Referring to FIG. 8b, the second frame is moved in the y direction over the third frame to align the central axes of the pogo pins.

[0061] Meanwhile, the order of alignment for moving the upright position of the pogo pins horizontally is irrelevant. The first frame 610, the second frame 620, and the third frame 630 can be rotated together by the rotation driver 640. Therefore, a control unit (not shown) can perform axis conversion on the direction of the first frame 610 and the direction of the second frame 620 based on the angle of the rotation driver 640, and determine the driving amount of the first frame driver 611 and the second frame driver 621.

[0062] 8c, the rotation driver 640 can rotate the third frame 630 on the base 650. The second frame 620, the first frame 610, the body 300, and the mounting part 100 can be rotated in response to the rotation of the third frame 630. The pogo pins 1000 can also rotate in response to the rotation of the mounting part 100.

[0063] Since the size of the pogo pin 1000 is relatively small, it is easier to determine the position error due to the angle while rotating. Therefore, a control unit (not shown) can measure the angle of the rotation driver 640 and precisely control the first frame driver 611 and the second frame driver 612 based on the position error due to the angle.

[0064] 9a, 9b, and 9c are operational state diagrams illustrating the concept of position adjustment and alignment of an electronic component alignment apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention.

[0065] As described above, the pogo pins of the present disclosure can be seated by contacting the lower end of the pin with the upper surface of the seat by an external PNP device. At this time, the pogo pins are subjected to gravity and magnetic force, and are also subjected to a supporting force by the seat. The action of these combined forces allows the pogo pins to maintain a constant angle.

[0066] For the sake of convenience, the electronic component alignment apparatus will be illustrated below as cut along the xz plane, and operations for position adjustment and alignment on the yz plane can be performed in a similar manner.

[0067] 9a, the control unit can measure / calculate the angle of the pogo pin 1000 and control the operation of the first position adjustment unit driver 512 and the second position adjustment unit (not shown) so that the pogo pin 1000 can be made upright. The horizontal position of the magnet 400 can be changed by adjusting the positions of the first position adjustment unit 511 and the second position adjustment unit (not shown), and the central axis a3 can be aligned with the central axis a2 of the pogo pin. When the central axis of the magnet 400 and the central axis of the pogo pin 1000 are aligned, the pogo pin 1000 can finally be made upright. At this time, the control unit (not shown) can be controlled so that the pogo pin 1000 can be made upright more quickly. In one example, the control unit can adjust the positions of the first position adjustment unit 511 and the second position adjustment unit so as to move the center of the magnet in the direction in which the pogo pin 1000 is tilted.

[0068] 9b, after the position adjustment unit 500 has completed the erection of the pogo pins 1000, the central axis a2 of the pogo pins 1000 is aligned with the rotation central axis a1 of the position alignment unit 600 using the position alignment unit 600. At this time, as described with reference to Figs. 8a and 8b, the first frame driving unit 611 and the second frame driving unit 612 are driven to align the horizontal position of the pogo pins 1000.

[0069] 9c, the rotation driver rotates the third frame 630 and the upper elements such as the magnet, the main body, and the mounting part connected to the third frame together to finally complete the position alignment. At this time, the controller can grasp the position of the pogo pin 1000 according to the rotation angle using the confirmed image or measured value, and precisely control the first frame driver and the second frame driver. Finally, the central axis a2 of the pogo pin 1000, the rotation central axis a1, and the central axis a3 of the magnet can be aligned. Meanwhile, the center of the mounting part 100 and the rotation central axis a1 may not coincide with each other due to the operation of the position alignment part. Therefore, when the mounting part 100 rotates around the rotation central axis a1, it can rotate along a circular path (see the dashed line).

[0070] As described above, after the alignment of the posture and position of the pogo pin is completed according to the present disclosure, an external vision inspection module can be used to acquire side images corresponding to 360 degrees of the pogo pin, and an upper image can be acquired using a camera vertically above the pogo pin.

[0071] Therefore, according to the present disclosure, it is possible to adjust and align small pogo pins in a non-contact manner, prevent damage to the pogo pins, and perform precise and rapid position adjustment and alignment. The effects of the present disclosure can be exerted not only in appearance inspection of electronic components, but also in various processes such as alignment for assembly.
