Carrier and transport method and device using the same

The present invention relates to a carrier, a transport method and a device, and more particularly to a carrier for transporting a carrier carrying a matrix array component, a carrier for carrying a carrier by using the carrier, and a transport method using the carrier And equipment.

According to the general types of electronic components, there are often two or more electronic component combinations, such as a flexible substrate and a key, depending on the necessity. The actuating element is pressed, so that it cannot be connected by a fixed hardware circuit, and the circuit printed on the flexible substrate must be used for telecommunications conduction with the control system, and the flexibility of the substrate forming the circuit provides the button to be constantly actuated. Displacement response; a process in which an electronic component of such a flexible substrate is bonded to a carrier such as a button, in the prior art, a flexible substrate in which a plurality of matrix arrays are mounted on a carrier is used, and the flexibility is artificially performed. The substrate is covered with a carrier to be attached thereto, so that the carrier is transported to the rail under the pressing device, and then the clamping module arranged in a plurality of matrixes in the pressing device is synchronized with the carrier. The flexible substrate and the carrier arranged in a plurality of matrixes are subjected to one-time press bonding.

The prior art uses a plurality of matrix-arranged clamping modules to simultaneously perform a one-time press-fitting of a plurality of matrix-arranged flexible substrates and carriers carried on the carrier, but must be manually applied to each flexible substrate. Covering the carrier to be attached thereto, the overall efficiency is not improved by adopting a flexible substrate and a carrier arranged by a plurality of matrixes at one time; and the prior art is a flexible substrate carried in the carrier, Because of its flexibility, it is prone to warp during the transfer process. To solve this problem, a preferred method is to place an upper cover on the carrier to prevent the warpage problem from affecting the transport. However, even when the flexible substrate is bonded to the carrier, the flexible substrate may still be warped. In the case of the curve, after the flexible substrate and the carrier are bonded together, the upper cover is still required to be covered. Therefore, if this method is used, the upper cover must be able to be opened and closed on the carrier to make the covered flexible. The substrate or the carrier is processed, and the operation of the integral machine becomes complicated due to the operation of increasing the opening and closing of the upper cover, and the remaining space becomes narrow, but the distance for transporting the carrier is long and matched.

Providing a first group of adsorption elements C1 (for example, suction nozzles) on the outer peripheral side and having a lower suction port, and a second group of adsorption elements C2 (for example, suction nozzles) located inside the first group of adsorption elements C1 and having a higher suction port, when the clamps are When the carrier B1 and the upper cover B11 with the component A1 are adsorbed, the first group of adsorption elements C1 adsorbs the carrier B1 having a larger area, and the second group of adsorption elements C2 adsorbs the upper cover B11 with a smaller area; 9, the first group of adsorption elements C1 for adsorption of negative pressure When released, only the carrier B1 is not adsorbed by the first group of adsorption elements C1, and the first suction cup C still adsorbs the upper cover B11 with the second group of adsorption elements C2.

Referring to Figures 1, 8, and 10, since the short sides of the carrier B1 are concavely spaced apart from each other by a gap-shaped two positioning holes B12, the upper cover B11 is covered on the carrier B1, and the upper cover B11 is short on both sides. The cover is over the two positioning holes B12 of the carrier B1 on both sides; therefore, when the entire set of the carrier B1 and the upper cover B11 are adsorbed by the suction C and placed on the carrier G2 in the embodiment of the present invention, The clamp arm G232 is driven to interlock the inlays G233 and G234, and the carrier B1 is placed on the seat plate G22 by the two positioning blocks B12 embedded in the two outer sides of the short side of the seat plate G22. Above the surface, because the key block G224 is highly protruded from the upper surface of the seat plate G22, and the protruding height is greater than the thickness of the carrier B1, the short sides of the upper cover B11 are respectively abutted by the two-button block G224, so that the upper cover is covered. B11, the carrier B1 is supported by the two-button block G224 at a distance d above the surface of the seat plate G22 (the upper cover B11 and the carrier B1 are integrally attracted by the magnetic member).

Referring to Figures 1, 9, and 11, when the first group of adsorption elements C1 of the suction cup C are used for the negative pressure of the adsorption, the carrier B1 is not adsorbed by the first group of adsorption elements C1, and only the upper cover B11 is still the second group. When the adsorption element C2 is adsorbed, the two clamp arms G232 will be driven to interlock the inner inlays G233 and G234, so that the carrier B1 is pushed by the inner and outer oblique taper inner edges of the inlays G233 and G234, and the force is pushed. The magnetic attraction between the upper cover and the upper cover B11 is reversed by the key block G224 on both sides of the upper cover B11, so that the carrier B1 and the upper cover B11 are separated from the upper surface of the seat plate G22, and then the suction seat C is again The two sets of adsorption elements C2 adsorb the upper cover B11 away from the carrier G2, and the carrier B1 on the upper surface of the landing plate G22 is transported by the transport path provided by the carrier G2.

The hollow section G211 and the bore G221 can be extended to perform heating operation on the components on the carrier B1.

In the embodiment of the present invention, as shown in FIG. 2, the single rail seat G can be transported with the carrier G2, or as shown in FIG. 14, the two rail seats G can be transported opposite to the two carriers G2, for example, a carrier G2. When the seat plate G22 is provided with only the pupil G221, and the other seat G2 is provided with the nozzle G221 on the seat plate G22, the second seat G2 can be used to hold different objects to be transported. Carry out different processing processes.
