Magazin mit Aufnahmen für Pipetten zum Bestücken von Substraten mit elektrischen BauelementenMagazine with receptacles for pipettes for equipping substrates with electrical components
Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf ein Magazin mit Aufnahmen für wechselbare Pipetten eines Bestückkopfes zum Bestücken von Substraten mit elektrischen Bauelementen, wobei die Aufnahmen in zumindest einer zur Substratebene parallelen Reihe ange- ordnet sind, wobei das Magazin zumindest einen mit den Pipetten interagierenden, in der Reihenrichtung der Aufnahmen verstellbaren Schieber aufweist.The invention relates to a magazine with receptacles for exchangeable pipettes of a placement head for equipping substrates with electrical components, the receptacles being arranged in at least one row parallel to the substrate plane, the magazine having at least one interacting with the pipettes in the row direction of the recordings has adjustable slider.
Ein derartiges Magazin ist z.B. durch die EP 0933985 A be- kannt geworden. Danach ist das Magazin zwischen einem dasSuch a magazine is e.g. made known by EP 0933985 A. After that, the magazine between one is that
Substrat aufnehmenden Bestückbereich und einem Abholbereich angeordnet, wo die Bauelemente von einem Bestückkopf mit mehreren Pipetten abgeholt und zum Substrat transportiert werden, wobei die Bauelemente mittels Vakuum an den Pipetten gehalten werden. Unterschiedliche Bauelementetypen erfordern unterschiedliche Pipetten, die im Bedarfsfall während des Betriebs, ebenso wie verschmutzte oder defekte Pipetten, durch andere Pipetten aus dem Magazin ersetzt werden müssen.Placement area receiving substrate and a pick-up area, where the components are picked up from a placement head with several pipettes and transported to the substrate, the components being held on the pipettes by means of vacuum. Different component types require different pipettes, which, if necessary during operation, as well as dirty or defective pipettes, must be replaced by other pipettes from the magazine.
Um diese insbesondere beim Abziehen vom Bestückkopf im Magazin fixieren zu können hintergreift der Schieber mit seinen RiegelSegmenten in einer Riegelstellung die Pipetten an seitlichen Absätzen. Zum Wechseln wird der Schieber in eine Wechselstellung verschoben, in der die Riegelsegmente aus dem Ü- berlappungsbereich entfernt worden sind und die Pipetten freigeben.In order to be able to fix these in the magazine, particularly when pulling them off the placement head, the slide with its locking segments engages behind the pipettes on the side shoulders in a locking position. To change, the slide is moved to a change position in which the locking segments have been removed from the overlap area and release the pipettes.
Die Aufnahmen für die- Pipetten bleiben nach oben weitgehend offen, so dass beim Transport der Bauelemente vom Abholbe- reich zum Bestückbereich die Pipetten durch Staub oder herabfallende Bauelemente verschmutzt werden können, was den Saug- querschnitt verringern und einen ungenauen und unsicheren Halt der Pipette am Bestückkopf bewirken kann.The receptacles for the pipettes remain largely open at the top, so that when the components are transported from the pick-up area to the placement area, the pipettes can be contaminated by dust or falling components, which can affect the suction Reduce cross-section and can cause an inaccurate and uncertain hold of the pipette on the placement head
Der Erfindung liegt die Aufgabe zugrunde, die Verschmutzung der im Magazin gespeicherten Pipetten zu verhindern.The invention has for its object to prevent contamination of the pipettes stored in the magazine.
Diese Aufgabe wird durch die Erfindung gemäß Anspruch 1 gelöst .This object is achieved by the invention according to claim 1.
Die Abdecksegmente sind so ausgebildet, dass sie nur die gefährdeten Stellen der Pipetten abdecken und nicht etwa das gesamte Pipettenmagazin. Eine solche Komplettabdeckung würde einen sehr großen Schieberhub bedingen, der einen großen Antriebsaufwand und einen großen seitlichen Freiraum bedingt. Die Abdecksegmente können so schmal gehalten werden, dass sie lediglich die gefährdeten Stellen der Pipetten überdecken und von Fremdkörpern freihalten. Dadurch ist es möglich, mit einem kurzen Schieberhub die Abdecksegmente zum Beispiel um den halben Teilungsabstand so weit zu verschieben, dass die Auf- nahmen vollständig freigegeben werden und die Pipetten ungehindert gewechselt werden können. Ein solcher kurzer Schie- • berhub kann in einfacher Weise zum Beispiel mittels eines DruckluftZylinders durchgeführt werden.The cover segments are designed in such a way that they cover only the endangered areas of the pipettes and not the entire pipette magazine. Such a complete cover would require a very large slide stroke, which requires a large drive effort and a large lateral clearance. The cover segments can be kept so narrow that they only cover the endangered areas of the pipettes and keep them free of foreign bodies. This makes it possible to move the cover segments by half a pitch, for example, with a short slide stroke so that the receptacles are completely released and the pipettes can be changed without hindrance. Such a short slide • stroke can be carried out in a simple manner, for example by means of a compressed air cylinder.
Eine solche Abdeckvorrichtung kann auch bei Magazinen eingesetzt werden, bei denen die Pipetten nicht durch einen Riegelschieber, sondern durch andere Rückhaltemittel zum Beispiel in der Art eines Bajonettverschlusses fixiert werden. Der Abstand zwischen den Aufnahmen im Magazin muß so groß gehalten werden, dass die Abdecksegmente im Zwischenraum zwischen den Aufnahmen Platz finden, um den Pipettenwechsel nicht zu stören. Durch die Begrenzung der Abdeckbreite auf den unmittelbar gefährdeten Bereich der Pipetten wird der Zwischenraum zwischen den Aufnahmen entsprechend klein gehal- ten. Vorteilhafte Weiterbildungen der Erfindung sind in den Ansprüchen 2 bis 6 gekennzeichnet .Such a covering device can also be used in magazines in which the pipettes are not fixed by a bolt slide but by other retention means, for example in the manner of a bayonet catch. The distance between the receptacles in the magazine must be kept so large that the cover segments find space in the space between the receptacles so as not to disturb the pipette change. By limiting the coverage to the directly endangered area of the pipettes, the space between the receptacles is kept correspondingly small. Advantageous developments of the invention are characterized in claims 2 to 6.
Durch die Weiterbildung nach Anspruch 2 wird der gesamte Mon- tagebereich der Pipette überdeckt .The development according to claim 2 covers the entire assembly area of the pipette.
Das Deckblech nach Anspruch 3 kann ohne hohen Bearbeitungsaufwand sehr dünn ausgebildet werden. Seine Oberseite bleibt mit hinreichendem Abstand unterhalb der Transportebene der Bauelemente.The cover plate according to claim 3 can be made very thin without high processing costs. Its top remains at a sufficient distance below the transport level of the components.
Die Riegelelemente nach Anspruch 4 dienen dazu, am Bestückkopf aufgerastete Pipetten nach dem Einsetzen in die Aufnahmen zu fixieren und beim Hochfahren des Pipettenhalters in den Aufnahmen sicher zurückzuhalten. Die Riegelstellung entspricht einer Zwischenstellung des Schiebers zwischen der Speicherstellung und der Wechselstellung, wobei die Abdecksegmente gerade so weit verschoben sind, dass der vom Halter überdeckte Bereich freigegeben ist. Danach wird der Schieber in seine Speicherstellung verschoben, in der die Abdecksegmente den Mittelbereich der Pipetten voll überdecken. Ein derartiges Magazin kann mit geringem Mehraufwand sowohl die Abdeckfunktion als auch die Verriegelungsfunktion wahrnehmen.The locking elements according to claim 4 are used to fix pipettes locked on the placement head after insertion into the receptacles and to hold them back securely in the receptacles when the pipette holder is raised. The locking position corresponds to an intermediate position of the slide between the storage position and the change position, the cover segments being shifted just so far that the area covered by the holder is released. The slide is then moved into its storage position, in which the covering segments completely cover the central area of the pipettes. Such a magazine can perform both the covering function and the locking function with little additional effort.
Durch die Weiterbildungen nach den Ansprüchen 5 und 6 bilden die Abdecksegmente und die Freimachungen einfache geometrische Formen, die mit geringem Aufwand erzeugt werden können.Through the developments according to claims 5 and 6, the cover segments and the frankings form simple geometric shapes that can be produced with little effort.
Im folgenden wird die Erfindung anhand eines in der Zeichnung dargestellten Ausführungsbeispieles näher erläutert. Es zeigen:The invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of an exemplary embodiment shown in the drawing. Show it:

Nach den Figuren 1 bis 4 weist ein Magazin zum Speichern von Pipetten 1 einen plattenartigen Grundkörper 2 auf, der mit zwei Reihen von Aufnahmen 3 für die Pipetten 1 versehen ist. Auf der Oberseite des Grundkörpers 2 ist ein flacher Schieber 4 angeordnet, der mit zwei sich über den Aufnahmereihen erstreckenden Längsschlitzen 5 versehen ist. Diese weisen verengte Abschnitte auf, die die Aufnahmen partiell überdecken und als Riegelelemente 6 für die" in die Aufnahmen 3 eingesetzten Pipetten 1 dienen, indem sie einen seitlich abstehenden verbreiterten Kragen 7 der Pipetten 1 überlappen.According to FIGS. 1 to 4, a magazine for storing pipettes 1 has a plate-like base body 2, which is provided with two rows of receptacles 3 for pipettes 1. A flat slide 4 is arranged on the upper side of the base body 2 and is provided with two longitudinal slots 5 extending over the rows of receptacles. These have narrowed sections that partially cover the receptacles and serve as locking elements 6 for the “ pipettes 1 inserted into the receptacles 3 by overlapping a laterally projecting collar 7 of the pipettes 1.
• Auf der Oberseite des Schiebers 4 ist ein dünnes Deckblech 8 befestigt, das sich quer zur Reihenrichtung erstreckende streifenförmige Abdecksegmente 9 und zwischen diesen fensterartige Freimachungen 10 aufweist. Die Abdecksegmente 9 sind in der Verschieberichtung so breit gehalten, dass sie einen Montageschaft 11 der Pipette 1 voll überdecken. Dadurch werden die oberen Öffnungen der Pipetten 1 zuverlässig vor schädlichen Partikeln geschützt. Oberhalb der dargestellten Pipette 1 befindet sich ein Halter 12 eines nicht näher dargestellten beweglichen Bestückkopfes. Der Halter 12 ist so ausgebildet, dass die Pipette 1 auf sein unteres Ende verrastend aufgesteckt werden kann. Beim Abziehen der Pipette 1 vom Halter 12 muß eine entsprechend hohe Abziehkraft aufgebracht werden. • On the top of the slide 4, a thin cover plate 8 is fastened, which has strip-shaped cover segments 9 extending transversely to the row direction and window-like clearances 10 between them. The cover segments 9 are kept so wide in the direction of displacement that they completely cover a mounting shaft 11 of the pipette 1. As a result, the upper openings of the pipettes 1 are reliably protected against harmful particles. Above the pipette 1 shown is a holder 12 of a movable placement head, not shown. The holder 12 is designed so that the pipette 1 can be snapped onto its lower end. When the pipette 1 is pulled off the holder 12, a correspondingly high pulling force must be applied.
Figur 5 zeigt das Magazin mit dem in eine Riegelstellung verschobenen Schieber 4. In dieser sind die Abdecksegmente 9 so weit zur Seite geschoben, dass der Halter 12 ungehindert in den Montageschaft 11 der Pipette 1 eingesetzt bzw. aus der Pipette 1 herausgezogen werden kann. Die Riegelelemente 6 des Schiebers 4 überdecken dabei noch immer partiell den Kragen 7 der Pipette 1 und halten diese beim Herausziehen des Halters 12 in der Aufnahme 3 des Grundkörpers 2 zurück.FIG. 5 shows the magazine with the slide 4 displaced into a locking position. In this, the cover segments 9 are pushed aside to the extent that the holder 12 can move in freely the mounting shaft 11 of the pipette 1 can be inserted or pulled out of the pipette 1. The locking elements 6 of the slide 4 still partially cover the collar 7 of the pipette 1 and hold it back in the receptacle 3 of the base body 2 when the holder 12 is pulled out.
Nach Figur 6 ist der Schieber 4 in eine Wechselstellung verschoben, in der die Riegelelemente 6 und die Abdecksegmente 9 die Aufnahmen 3 vollkommen freigeben. Dies wird dadurch er- möglicht, dass die Breite der Freimachungen 10 und der Längsschlitze 5 etwas größer ist als der größte Außendurchmesser der Pipette 1, die nun ungehindert in die Aufnahme 3 eingesetzt bzw. aus dieser entnommen werden kann.According to FIG. 6, the slide 4 is moved into a change position in which the locking elements 6 and the cover segments 9 completely release the receptacles 3. This is made possible by the fact that the width of the clearances 10 and of the longitudinal slots 5 is somewhat larger than the largest outer diameter of the pipette 1, which can now be inserted into or removed from the receptacle 3 without hindrance.
Der Ablauf eines Pipettenwechsels ist folgender: Zunächst wird der Bestückkopf mit einer der nicht mehr benötigten Pipetten 1 über eine der nicht belegten Aufnahmen 3 verfahren. Der Schieber 4 wird in die in Figur 6 gezeigte Wechselstellung verschoben. Daraufhin wird der Halter 12 mit der daran fixierten Pipette 1 so weit abgesenkt, dass diese in der Aufnahme 3 abgelegt wird. Danach wird der Schieber in die in Figur 5 gezeigte Riegelstellung zurückgeschoben. Der Halter 12 wird nun hochgezogen, wobei die Pipette 1 durch die Riegel- elemente 6 in der Aufnahme 3 zurückgehalten und vom Halter 12 abgezogen wird. Daraufhin verfährt dieser zu einer anderen, im Magazin gespeicherten Pipette 1 und der Schieber 4 wird erneut in die in Figur 6 gezeigte Wechselstellung verschoben. Der Halter wird nun mit seinem unteren Montageende in den Montageschaft 11 dieser Pipette 1 eingedrückt und zusammen mit dieser wieder nach oben bewegt, worauf der Schieber 4 wieder in seine in Figur 1 dargestellte Speicherstellung zurückgeschoben wird, in der die oberen Öffnungen der Pipetten 1 von den Abdecksegmenten 9 überdeckt sind. Bezugs zeichenThe pipette change is as follows: First, the placement head is moved with one of the pipettes 1 no longer required over one of the receptacles 3 not used. The slide 4 is moved into the change position shown in FIG. 6. The holder 12 with the pipette 1 fixed thereon is then lowered so far that it is placed in the receptacle 3. The slide is then pushed back into the locking position shown in FIG. 5. The holder 12 is now pulled up, the pipette 1 being retained in the receptacle 3 by the locking elements 6 and being withdrawn from the holder 12. Thereupon the latter moves to another pipette 1 stored in the magazine and the slide 4 is again moved into the change position shown in FIG. The holder is now pressed with its lower assembly end into the assembly shaft 11 of this pipette 1 and moved upwards together with it, whereupon the slide 4 is pushed back into its storage position shown in FIG. 1, in which the upper openings of the pipettes 1 are separated from the Cover segments 9 are covered.
