Detailed Description

The following disclosure provides many different embodiments, or examples, for implementing different features of the invention. These embodiments are merely examples and are not intended to limit the scope and application of the present invention. Moreover, the relative thicknesses and positions of various components, layers or regions may be reduced or exaggerated for clarity. In addition, similar or identical reference numerals are used in the drawings to identify similar or identical elements or features, and the description thereof will be omitted if there is a reference numeral identical to that in the previous drawings.

Fig. 1 is a schematic diagram of an apparatus having a fixture with a sensor according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to fig. 1, the apparatus 100 of the present embodiment at least includes a conveying device 102, a plurality of clamps 104, and a plurality of sensors 106. The conveying device 102 can move a plurality of clamps 104 along the conveying direction 108, and each clamp 104 is provided with a sensor 106 for sensing an electrical change of each clamp 104 and/or an electrical change of the environment, so as to reflect the health of each clamp 104 and/or monitor the change of the environment in real time. For example, each of the clamps 104 may have a different clamp number, such as a radio frequency identification Tag (RFID Tag); each sensor 106 may also have a different sensor number, such as an RFID Tag. Therefore, based on the sensing results reported by the different sensors 106, the user can know the position of the fixture 104 in question and implement the corresponding solution.

Since FIG. 1 shows the side of the fixture 104, further details of the front of the fixture 104 and the sensor 106 are illustrated in FIG. 2.

Referring to fig. 2, the clamp 104 generally has two clamping arms 200 and a bracket 202, and the clamping arms 200 can be coupled to a fixing member 206 fixed to the bracket 202 through a rotating shaft 204. When the upper portions of the two clamping arms 200 are pressed (see the direction indicated by the arrow), the lower portions of the two clamping arms 200 are opened to clamp a product target (not shown). The sensor 106 of the present embodiment may be disposed on the bracket 202 or other portion of the clamp 104, and may have a battery module 208 to provide power during sensing.

Fig. 3 is a schematic view of an apparatus having a fixture with a sensor according to another embodiment of the present invention, wherein the same reference numerals and parts of the previous embodiment are used to designate the same or similar components, and the description of the same technical contents is omitted. For the description of the omitted parts, reference may be made to the foregoing embodiments, and the description of the embodiments is not repeated.

Referring to fig. 3, the apparatus of the present embodiment may further include an information integrator 300 for decoding the signal of the sensor 106 in addition to the conveying device 102, the clamp 104 and the sensor 106. The product object 302 in fig. 3 is a printed circuit board as an example, and the apparatus of the present embodiment is used in a wet process production line thereof, so the environment sensed by the sensor 106 can be the plating solution 306 contained in the plating tank 304 during the wet process of the printed circuit board, but the present invention is not limited thereto. The environment that the sensor 106 can sense may also be the environment of other production lines.

In fig. 3, the gripper 104 holding the product target 302 is moved by the conveyor 102 in the conveying direction 108. Under normal conditions, the clamp 104 holding the product target 302 into the production area (i.e., the plating cell 304) is energized to perform plating; conversely, the gripper 104 leaving the production zone may be de-energized. Therefore, the user can confirm the health of the clamp 104 by wirelessly transmitting the (electrical) signals fed back from the different sensors 106 to the information integrator 300. For example, if the production target 302, or even the fixture 104, drops during electroplating, the sensor 106 may detect a high resistance or a loss of connection. Alternatively, the sensor 106 may monitor changes in the environment (e.g., the plating solution 306) by sensing a voltage level. For example, the clamp 104, the product target 302, and the plating solution 306 are a circuit system during plating, so that a voltage range reflecting the concentration of the plating solution 306 can be obtained via the sensor 106, and once the sensor 106 detects a sudden change in voltage, the concentration of the plating solution 306 may be changed. Therefore, the equipment of the embodiment can also monitor the change of the environment and immediately make corresponding response (such as stopping the machine, increasing the supply of the plating solution or decreasing the supply of the plating solution).

To sum up, the utility model discloses an equipment is all or at least partial anchor clamps facial make-up in the production line and establishes the sensor to the health degree of every anchor clamps of real-time supervision reaches the function that the control environment changes simultaneously.
