13A shows a state in which the electronic module 10 is seated in a horizontal state on the first flip part 710 or the second flip part 720, and FIG. 13B shows the electronic module 10 in the first flip part ( 710) or the second flip part 720 is shown in a vertical state.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 13A , the first flip part 710 and the second flip part 720 are disposed between the pair of flip members 702 according to the width direction standard of the electronic module 10 . It may include a gap adjusting unit 703 for adjusting the distance and a position adjusting unit 709 for adjusting the position of the flip-alignment member 704 according to the longitudinal standard of the electronic module 10 .

In addition, the first flip part 710 and the second flip part 720 include a rotation driving part 705 for rotating the plurality of pairs of flip members 702 about a common rotation axis C. may include

The flip members 702 are rotated according to the rotational driving of the rotation driving unit 705 . Accordingly, the electronic module 10 fixed between the pair of flip members 702 can also be flipped by a desired angle.

The distance adjusting unit 703, the position adjusting unit 709, the rotational driving unit 705, and the driving unit (not shown) for moving the shuttle member may be applied with various driving sources. For example, as shown in FIG. 13A , a cylinder A drive, motor, or pulley-belt structure may be applied.

Meanwhile, the first flip part 710 and the second flip part 720 may be provided as a pair, respectively, as shown in FIG. 10 .

The first flip part 710 or the second flip part 720, when provided as a pair, are disposed in the vertical direction in the arrangement direction of the horizontal loading member 22 or the horizontal unloading member 24. It may be installed reciprocally in a vertical direction, and may be installed movably from the bottom to the top or from the top to the bottom through the elevator unit.

When the loading of the electronic module 10 is performed, the electronic module 10 flipped vertically by the first flip unit 710 is transferred to the second transfer tool 420 to be loaded on the vertical main loading member 30 . can

Conversely, when the electronic module 10 is unloaded, the electronic module 10 vertically loaded on the vertical main loading member 30 may be transferred to the third transfer tool 430 .

That is, the second transfer tool 420 loads the electronic module 10 onto the vertical main loading member 30 , and the third transfer tool 430 takes out the electronic module 10 from the vertical main loading member 30 . Except that, the second transfer tool 420 and the third transfer tool 430 may be configured to be identical or similar to each other.

Specifically, as shown in FIGS. 12A to 12B , the second transfer tool 420 and the third transfer tool 430 load a plurality of electronic modules 10 to the vertical main loading member 30 at once or In order to achieve this, a plurality of pairs of grip members 402 may be included for gripping and fixing opposite side portions of the electronic module 10 .

For example, when the first flip part 710 and the second flip part 720 are configured to flip four electronic modules 10 at a time, the second transfer tool 420 and the third transfer tool 430 also It may be configured to include four pairs of grip members 402 in order to transport the corresponding number of electronic modules 10 at once.

The distance between the pair of grip members 402 may be varied through various methods.

For example, as shown in FIG. 12A , two sub-body parts each having grip members 402 spaced apart from each other in a line may be installed to be movable relative to each other at intervals in the horizontal direction.

At this time, the second transfer tool 420 and the third transfer tool 430 control the distance D2 between the neighboring grip members 402 through a driving unit that drives the relative movement of at least one of the two sub-body units. Can be adjusted.

For example, as shown in FIG. 12A , one sub-body part is driven in the X-axis direction so that the distance from the other sub-body part can be adjusted. As a result, the grip member 402 adjacent to each sub-body part is provided. The interval between them may be variable.

In addition, of course, the second transfer tool 420 and the third transfer tool 430 may be driven in the vertical direction (Z-axis direction).

The electronic module 10 positioned between a pair of adjacent grip members 402 is fixed by pressing and fixing the opposite side portions by the pair of grip members 402, in order to prevent damage to the electronic module 10 To this end, a protective member 403 may be installed on the contact surface between the grip member 402 and the electronic module 10 .

The protective member 403 may be made of various materials as long as it is possible to prevent damage to the electronic module 10 in close contact, and for example, may be made of an elastic plastic material such as urethane.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 12 , the second transfer tool 420 and the third transfer tool 430 load the electronic module 10 into the socket 32 of the vertical main loading member 30 or When taking out the electronic module 10 from the socket 32, the electronic module 10 bounces off due to recoil or is out of position, so that the second transfer tool 420 or the third transfer tool 430 moves from its intended position. It may include a displacement preventing portion for preventing the grip in the deviated position.

The displacement prevention unit is configured to prevent the electronic module 10 from recoiling when loading the electronic module 10 into the socket 32 of the vertical main loading member 30 or taking out the electronic module 10 from the socket 32 . It can be configured in various ways as long as it can be prevented from bouncing or misaligned.

For example, as shown in FIG. 12B , the displacement preventing unit includes a pressing member for pressing the upper longitudinal surface of the electronic module 10 positioned between a pair of grip members 402 and driving the pressing member It may include a pressing member driving unit for

It goes without saying that the pressing member may be provided in plurality to correspond to the number of electronic modules 10 to be handled.

When a plurality of pressing members are provided, the pressing member driving unit drives the pressing member in the vertical direction to press the upper surface of the electronic module 10 in the downward direction to prevent the electronic module 10 from being deviated from its original position, Even when the standard of the target electronic module 10 is changed by adjusting the interval between the adjacent pressing members, it can be applied without changing the equipment.

Compared to the embodiment of FIGS. 5A to 5C , the electronic module handler of FIG. 10 can transfer and load four electronic modules 10 at a time, so the electronic module handling efficiency can be greatly improved.

In the above, preferred embodiments of the present invention have been exemplarily described, but the scope of the present invention is not limited to such specific embodiments, and can be appropriately changed within the scope described in the claims.
