Technical Field

In particular, the fine adjustment unit comprises an outer sleeve 1124, a first adjustment rod 1121, an elastic element 1125, an inner sleeve 1126 and a second adjustment rod 1128. The outer sleeve 1124 fits coaxially within the first fine adjustment hole and threadably fits within the fine adjustment hole, and adjustment of the amount of pressure between the inner sleeve 1126 and the straw seat 108 is accomplished by controlling the depth to which the outer sleeve 1124 is threaded.
Further, a stepped through hole is axially formed in the outer sleeve 1124, and an inner diameter of a side close to the suction rod seat 108 is larger than that of the other side, and an inner circumference of a side with a smaller inner diameter is formed with an inner thread to be threadedly matched with the first adjusting rod 1121. Correspondingly, one end with larger inner diameter is of a unthreaded hole structure, and an annular step surface is formed at the joint of the other end of the unthreaded hole structure and the other end of the unthreaded hole structure. An elastic element 1125 is coaxially disposed in the optical hole with a larger inner diameter, and is correspondingly sleeved on the outer circumference of the end of the first adjusting rod 1121, with one end abutting against the annular step surface and the other end abutting against the end surface of the inner sleeve 1126. The inner sleeve 1126 in the preferred embodiment is a closed-end sleeve structure with an open end coaxially extending into the light hole and surrounding the outer periphery of the elastic element 1125 and a closed end abutting against the outer peripheral wall of the straw seat 108. By tightening or loosening the first adjustment rod 1121, the pressure of the elastic member 1125 against the inner sleeve 1126, i.e., the amount of pressure between the inner sleeve 1126 and the straw holder 108, can be adjusted accordingly.
In addition, a second adjusting rod 1128 is coaxially arranged on the other side of the suction rod seat 108 away from the first adjusting rod 1021, and is in threaded matching connection with the fine adjustment hole on the turnover head seat 107, and the suction rod seat 108 can be correspondingly jacked at a corresponding position by controlling the screwing length of the second adjusting rod. Preferably, a push plate 1127 is disposed at an end of the second adjustment rod 1128 to increase a contact area with the suction rod holder 108 and ensure stability of the suction rod holder 108 in terms of force. The corresponding position of the sucker rod seat 108 on the axis of the first fine tuning hole can be adjusted by correspondingly controlling the first adjusting rod 1121 and the second adjusting rod 1128, and the adjustment is recorded as the X-axis direction; meanwhile, the corresponding adjustment of the sucker rod seat 108 in the Y-axis direction can be realized through the corresponding control of the two adjusting rods in the other fine adjustment unit.
Further, second locking nuts 1122 for locking the outer sleeves 1124 rotated in place are respectively provided at ends of the outer sleeves 1124 in correspondence to the two fine adjustment units. Meanwhile, a duplex elastic pad 1123 is disposed between the two outer sleeves 1124, and wraps and clings to the peripheral side wall surface of the turnover head seat 107, and both ends of the duplex elastic pad are respectively sleeved on the end portions of the outer sleeves 1124, and can be pressed on the periphery of the turnover head seat 107 by a second locking nut 1122.
In order to monitor whether the inverting head mechanism 10 accurately transfers the chip in real time, the chip transfer detection mechanisms 40 are respectively arranged corresponding to the two inverting head mechanisms 10, and each chip transfer detection mechanism comprises an air pressure display 402 fixed on a mounting seat 401, the air pressure display 402 is connected with an air pressure sensor head 403 through a cable 406, and the air pressure sensor head 403 is connected with an air pipe 405 of a negative pressure system through a pipe joint 404, so that the real-time monitoring of the air pressure in the corresponding suction rod 111 is realized, and the inverting head mechanisms 10 are ensured to accurately absorb the chip.
The double-flip-head chip transfer device in the preferred embodiment of the invention preferably has the following working process:
firstly, before the operation of transferring the chip is started, the two first locking nuts 110 are unscrewed, and then the X, Y position of the suction nozzle 113 is adjusted through the two-degree-of-freedom fine adjustment mechanism 112, so that the suction nozzles 113 of the two turnover head mechanisms 10 are ensured to be coaxial and are aligned to the central position of the chip on the carrier; then the two first locking nuts 110 are tightened, and the two sets of first adjustment rods 1121 and second adjustment rods 1128 are tightened;
secondly, starting the voice coil motor 202 of the Z-direction driving mechanism 20, and controlling the Z-direction driving mechanism 20 through the control system, so that the initial heights and the transfer heights of the suction nozzles 113 of the two turnover head mechanisms 10 are consistent when chips are transferred, and the chips can be successfully transferred under the condition of normal working;
again, the flip motor 303 of the flip mechanism 30 and the chip transfer detecting mechanism 40 are turned on, and the chip transfer operation is started in conjunction with the Z-direction driving mechanism 20. After the first flipping head mechanism 10 successfully sucks a chip, the motor 303 of the flipping mechanism 30 drives the flipping arm 301 to rotate 180 degrees (counterclockwise), so that the second flipping head mechanism 10 moves to the position where the first flipping head mechanism 10 is located before rotation, and starts to transfer another chip. Then the second turnover head mechanism 10 rotates 180 degrees (clockwise), so that the first turnover head mechanism 10 returns to the initial position, the chip transfer operation is continuously executed, and the two turnover head mechanisms 10 perform the chip transfer operation in a circulating reciprocating manner. In the process of transferring the chip by the turnover head mechanism 10, the grating reading head 206 reads the grating ruler 205 and controls the voice coil motor 204 according to the reading, so as to realize the feedback control of the transfer height of the suction nozzle 113; sensor 304 provides start, stop limit and zero position signals for rotational movement. The air pressure sensor head 403 of the chip transfer detection mechanism 40 can monitor the change of the negative pressure of the air path in real time, display the change on the air pressure display 402, and perform feedback control on the detection information to ensure that the suction nozzle 113 of each turnover head mechanism 10 does not have a chip to idle, thereby improving the operation efficiency of the whole device.
The double-turnover-head chip transfer device suitable for flexible electronic manufacturing has the advantages of simple structure and simplicity and convenience in control, and can realize continuous turnover transfer of chips and improve the accuracy and efficiency of chip transfer by coaxially and symmetrically arranging the two turnover head mechanisms; meanwhile, the Z-direction driving mechanism and the two-degree-of-freedom fine adjustment mechanism are respectively arranged corresponding to each overturning head mechanism, so that the corresponding adjustment of the suction rod in the direction of the X, Y, Z axis can be accurately realized, the accuracy of the positions of the two suction nozzles is always ensured, the precision and the accuracy of the chip transferring process are improved, the cost of chip overturning and transferring is reduced, and the chip overturning and transferring device has a better application prospect and a popularization value.
