Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of high and low temperature testing, and in particular relates to a high and low temperature automatic testing system. Background Art

[0002] Semiconductor electronic components often require reliability testing in both high and low temperature environments. Complete equipment equipped with these components is required to be capable of operating in a variety of extreme weather environments, ensuring that these components maintain their performance in these conditions. Therefore, various performance indicators of these components must be tested in both high and low temperature environments.

[0003] Existing high and low temperature testers are box structures with a built-in temperature control system. The box door is opened, several products to be tested are placed into the box, and then the box door is closed. The temperature control system sets the high and low temperature changes in the box, so that the products are placed in a high and low temperature environment. The above-mentioned existing high and low temperature testers have the following defects: ① The degree of automated testing is low, and the products to be tested can only be taken in and placed by manpower; ② For products to be tested that cannot be placed in the oven with the test fixture, they must be taken out of the oven after reaching the expected temperature before being tested, resulting in changes in the temperature of the products to be tested during testing; ③ For products to be tested that need to be taken out before testing, opening the box door in a low-temperature environment will cause frost inside the oven and on the surface of the products to be tested, hindering the performance testing of the products to be tested and the continuous use of the oven. Currently, there is no good solution to these problems. Therefore, the automatic testing of electronic components in high and low temperature environments has always been a bottleneck in the production and testing of electronic components.

[0046] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present invention more clearly understood, the present invention is further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0047] Please also refer to Figures 1 to 16The automatic high and low temperature testing system provided by the present invention is now described. The automatic high and low temperature testing system comprises a high and low temperature testing unit and an automatic loading and unloading unit. The high and low temperature testing unit comprises an oven 2, a test fixture 23 disposed within the oven 2, and a multi-dimensional pick-and-place mechanism. The multi-dimensional pick-and-place mechanism is used to move the product to be tested from a tray 17 within the oven 2 to the test fixture for testing and to retrieve the tested product back onto the tray 17. A feed door 202 is provided on the side of the oven 2 for the feed tray 17 to enter.

[0048] See also Figures 1 to 11 The automatic loading and unloading unit includes a loading and unloading mechanism, a material transmission mechanism 6, a feeding mechanism 3 and an automatic feeding door opening mechanism 7; the loading and unloading mechanism sends the material tray 17 into the material transmission mechanism 6, the automatic feeding door opening mechanism 7 opens the feeding door 202, the feeding mechanism 3 sends the material tray 17 transmitted by the material transmission mechanism 6 into the drying oven 2 through the feeding door 202, and the automatic feeding door opening mechanism 7 closes the feeding door 202 for testing.

[0049] The product tray 17 after testing is returned to the loading and unloading mechanism through the feeding mechanism 3 and the material transmission mechanism 6, and the material is unloaded and taken away.

[0050] Compared with the prior art, the high and low temperature automatic testing system provided in this embodiment completes the loading and unloading of the product to be tested through the loading and unloading mechanism of the automatic loading and unloading unit, and through the material transmission mechanism 6, the feeding mechanism 3 and the automatic opening mechanism of the feeding door 7, the product to be tested is sent from the normal temperature area to the high and low temperature testing unit, and then the multi-dimensional picking and placing mechanism is used to realize continuous automatic testing of the product to be tested in the test area oven 2, which fundamentally solves the problem that the product to be tested cannot be continuously tested in a high and low temperature test environment, ensures the accuracy of high and low temperature testing, and improves testing efficiency.

[0051] The high and low temperature automatic testing system provided by the present invention can not only realize the automatic loading of the product to be tested, but also realize the automatic unloading of the product after testing. That is, the tested product tray 17 returns to the material box 18 of the loading and unloading mechanism along the same route. The testing process does not require human intervention and has a high degree of automation. The test fixture is placed in the high and low temperature testing oven 2. The multi-dimensional pick-and-place mechanism is used to pick up and place the product to be tested on the test fixture, and then the tested product is picked up and placed back on the tray 17. The test product does not need to be taken out of the oven 2. This greatly improves the test accuracy of the electronic components being tested, reduces testing costs, and improves testing efficiency.

[0052] Optionally, the entire system also includes a nitrogen exchange chamber 1, and all automatic loading and unloading units are located in the nitrogen exchange chamber 1. Nitrogen is an inert gas and will not contaminate the product. The nitrogen atmosphere in the chamber can avoid the problem of water vapor in the gas in the chamber. After the loading and unloading of the product to be tested is completed, the nitrogen exchange chamber 1 is used to reduce the water vapor content at the connection between the high and low temperature oven 2 and the outside world to achieve the effect of preventing frost, thereby realizing the transportation of the product to be tested between the normal temperature zone and the high and low temperature test zone, and realizing continuous automatic testing of the product to be tested in the high and low temperature zones, which fundamentally solves the problem that the product to be tested cannot be continuously tested in a high and low temperature test environment, and effectively prevents the frosting phenomenon in the low temperature zone after contacting the normal temperature gas.

[0053] The nitrogen in the nitrogen exchange chamber 1 can be replaced by existing nitrogen exchange technology. A material taking door 101 is provided at the position of the nitrogen exchange chamber 1 facing the material box 18 to facilitate the placement of the material tray 17 of the product to be tested and the removal of the material tray 17 of the tested product.

[0054] In the high and low temperature testing system provided by the present invention, various mechanisms of the automatic loading and unloading unit are installed on the loading and unloading bracket 14 , and various parts of the high and low temperature testing unit are installed on the high and low temperature testing bracket 20 .

[0055] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2 In order to facilitate support and movement, support legs 12 and universal wheels 13 are provided at the bottom of the nitrogen exchange chamber 1 and the bottom of the high and low temperature test unit box. At the same time, a door 201 is provided on the oven 2 and an observation window is provided on the door 201. The temperature in the oven 2 is adjusted according to the preset requirements. The oven 2 uses existing equipment. For example, the oven 2 of this embodiment includes a refrigeration unit 11, a control box 10 and an insulation liner. The insulation liner is used to place the mobile platform 9. The refrigeration unit 11 provides hot air and cold air for the oven 2, and creates the high and low temperature environment required for the test with the insulation liner. The control box 10 performs program control on the test area oven 2.

[0056] As a specific implementation of the high and low temperature automatic testing system provided by the embodiment of the present invention, see Figures 3 to 7 The loading and unloading mechanism includes a loading and unloading lifting module 5, a horizontal loading module 4 and a material box 18. The upper end of the loading and unloading lifting module 5 is provided with a material box support plate 19. The horizontal loading module 4 pushes the material tray 17 at the same level into the material transmission mechanism 6.

[0057] In this embodiment, see Figure 6As shown, the material box 18 includes at least two opposite baffles and a material box bottom plate, and a plurality of material trays 17 are stacked between the two baffles to limit the material trays 17 and prevent the material trays 17 from tilting and sliding. A plurality of guide grooves for supporting and limiting the material trays 17 are correspondingly provided on the two baffles. The distance between the material trays 17 is controlled by the support and guidance of the guide grooves, and it is convenient to push out any layer of material trays 17 or push in the tested material trays 17; the material box support plate 19 moves up and down with the loading and lifting module 5. When the horizontal loading module 4 pushes any layer of material tray 17 into the transmission mechanism according to the preset order, the loading and lifting module 5 lifts the position of a material tray 17 on the material box 18 support plate, so that the horizontal loading module 4 continues to push the next material tray 17 with the product to be tested. Similarly, when the tested product tray 17 returns to the material box 18, the loading and unloading module 5 is lifted and lowered to enable the horizontal unloading module to push the tested product tray 17 into the material box 18 horizontally, thereby completing the automatic resetting of the test tray 17.

[0058] The loading and lifting module 5 and the horizontal loading module 4 can be any one of linear actuators such as an electric slide, an electric push rod, a hydraulic cylinder, an air cylinder, a screw lift, a ball transmission, a chain transmission, etc. The loading and lifting module 5 and the horizontal loading module 4 are both mounted on the loading and unloading bracket 14.

[0059] The tray 17 is provided with a plurality of support positions for placing the test products. In this embodiment, the support positions are grooves adapted to fit the test products. The grooves are distributed in a rectangular array or a circular array.

[0060] In some embodiments, see Figure 8 and Figure 9 The material conveying mechanism 6 includes a conveying sub-mechanism, a lifting module 16 for lifting the material tray 17, a horizontal unloading module for sending the returned material tray 17 into the material box 18, and a lifting plate 606 arranged on the lifting module 16. The lifting module 16 lifts the material tray 17 on the lifting plate 606 so that the feeding mechanism 3 clamps the feed; wherein, the lifting module 16 is on the side close to the feed door 202, the horizontal unloading module is on the side of the lifting module 16 close to the material box 18, the lifting module 16 and the horizontal unloading module are on the transmission bottom plate 601 of the conveying sub-mechanism, and the push rod of the lifting module 16 passes upward through the transmission bottom plate 601 to support the lifting plate 606.

[0061] The material transfer mechanism 6 transfers the material tray 17 of the product to be tested to the clamping position of the feeding mechanism 3, and transfers the material tray 17 placed at this position to the vicinity of the material box 18, so that the horizontal unloading module can push the material tray 17 into the material box 18.

[0062] Alternatively, see Figure 8 and Figure 9The transmission sub-mechanism adopts chain drive or belt drive. For example, the transmission sub-mechanism includes a transmission base plate 601, a support plate arranged on the transmission base plate 601, a pulley group 604 located on the inner side of the support plate, a driving motor located on the outer side of the support plate, and a limit block 605 located on the support plate. It is pushed to the pulley group 604 by the horizontal loading module 4, and after being conveyed forward to the feeding position, it is stopped by the limit block 605. At this time, the material tray 17 is directly above the top material module 16 and the lifting plate 606. Through the lifting of the top material module 16, the material tray 17 leaves the pulley group 604 to facilitate the clamping of the clamping claws of the feeding mechanism 3.

[0063] In this embodiment, see Figure 8 and Figure 9 The pulley group 604 includes a driving wheel and four driven wheels. The driving wheel is driven by the driving motor to rotate, and the belt is driven to move through the pulley group 604. The forward and reverse rotation of the driving motor can realize the reciprocating motion of the belt; the product tray 17 to be tested is driven by the belt to move forward, and after hitting the limit block 605, it stops moving forward. At this time, the lifting module 16 fixed on the transmission bottom plate 601 drives the lifting plate 606 to lift and lower. The lifting plate 606 lifts the product tray 17 to be tested to a specified height, and then it is taken away by the feeding mechanism 3.

[0064] When the material tray 17 returns, the pulley group 604 transports the material tray 17 toward the material box 18. During this process, the belt cannot send all the material trays 17 back into the material box 18. When the material tray 17 passes the elastic push rod 603 of the horizontal unloading module, the horizontal unloading cylinder 602 breaks away from the restriction of the limit pulley 607 and bounces up, driving the elastic push rod 603 to push forward and push the material tray 17 to move into the material box 18 until the material tray 17 is stacked in the material box 18. After the test, the material tray 17 is fully returned to the material box 18 under the push of the elastic push rod 603.

[0065] Optionally, the ejector module 16 and the horizontal unloading module can be any linear actuator such as an electric slide, a linear slide, an electric push rod, a hydraulic cylinder, an air cylinder, a screw lift, or a ball screw. The ejector module 16 is mounted below the conveyor base 601, and the horizontal unloading module is mounted above the conveyor base 601.

[0066] In this embodiment, see Figure 8 and Figure 9The horizontal unloading module includes an unloading slide 610, a horizontal unloading cylinder 602 that slides with the unloading slide 610, and an elastic push rod 603 connected to the horizontal unloading cylinder 602. The elastic push rod 603 extends toward one side of the material box 18, and pushes the material tray 17 back to the material box 18 by moving. The loading and lifting module 5 cooperates with the lifting to stack the material tray 17 in the material box 18. By utilizing the elasticity of the elastic push rod 603, interference with the material tray 17 can be avoided when the material tray 17 moves toward the drying oven 2; when the material tray 17 moves toward the material box 18, interference with the material tray 17 is first avoided. When the material tray 17 moves over the elastic push rod 603, the horizontal unloading cylinder 602 moves along the unloading slide 610 toward the material box 18, driving the elastic push rod 603 to push the material tray 17 toward the material box 18. As shown Figure 6 The figure shows a schematic diagram of two states of the horizontal unloading cylinder 602, namely, a schematic diagram of the elastic push rod 603 being pressed under the limiting rod 608 and a schematic diagram of the horizontal unloading cylinder 602 moving forward to push the material tray 17 into the material box 18.

[0067] In some possible embodiments, see Figure 8 and Figure 9 The material conveying mechanism 6 also includes a limit rod 608, which is mounted on the support plate of the conveying sub-mechanism. The elastic push rod 603 is pressed under the limit rod 608 to avoid interfering with the material tray 17 on the conveying line. The elastic push rod 603 moves with the horizontal discharge cylinder 602 toward the drying oven 2 until it is pressed under the limit rod 608. When the horizontal discharge cylinder 602 moves toward the material bin 18 to retrieve the material tray 17, the elastic push rod 603 moves until it is free from the pressure of the limit rod 608, pushing the material tray 17 into the material bin 18. Optionally, the elastic push rod 603 is connected to the horizontal discharge cylinder 602 via an axis hinge, where the horizontal discharge cylinder 602 can also be a slider that reciprocates along the discharge rail 610.

[0068] Alternatively, see Figure 8 and Figure 9 The elastic push rod 603 is a spring-loaded structure with a rubber block 609 at its end. A limiting pulley 607 is mounted on the limiting rod 608, which is pressed against the spring. The rubber block 609 pushes the material tray 17, preventing damage. Furthermore, when the elastic push rod 603 moves toward the oven 2, the rubber block 609 contacts the limiting rod 608, forming a stop and limiting the horizontal unloading cylinder. The rolling friction between the limiting pulley 607 and the elastic push rod 603 reduces resistance to its movement.

[0069] As a possible implementation, see Figure 10 and Figure 11The feeding mechanism 3 includes a feeding base plate 304, a horizontal feeding module 303 mounted below the feeding base plate 304, a feeding lifting module 302 connected to the horizontal feeding module 303, and a clamping cylinder 301 connected to the feeding lifting module 302. The clamping claws of the clamping cylinder 301 clamp the material tray 17 on the material conveying mechanism 6 and feed it into the oven 2. The horizontal feeding module 303 is any linear guide such as a linear slide, a ball screw, or a gear rack, while the feeding lifting module 302 is any linear actuator such as a lifting cylinder or an electric push rod. The horizontal feeding module 303 reciprocates horizontally and linearly, while the feeding lifting module 302 is raised and lowered to grasp and release the material tray 17. The clamping claws facilitate the placement of the material tray 17 onto the movable platform 9 within the oven 2 through the feeding door 202, and also facilitate the insertion into the oven 2 to remove the tested material tray 17 from the movable platform 9.

[0070] As a possible implementation, see Figures 2 to 6 The automatic feed door opening mechanism 7 includes a linear push rod. The base of the linear push rod is hinged to the loading and unloading bracket 14 of the automatic loading and unloading unit. The telescopic rod of the linear push rod is hinged to the upper end of the feed door 202. The lower end of the feed door 202 is rotatably connected to the outside of the oven 2 via a door shaft. The automatic feed door opening mechanism 7 is provided to connect the automatic loading and unloading unit with the high and low temperature test unit. Optionally, the base of the linear push rod is hinged to the bottom plate of the nitrogen displacement chamber 1. The linear push rod is extended and retracted to achieve the downward and upward rotation of the feed door 202, thereby opening or closing the feed door 202. The linear push rod can be any of an electric push rod, a pneumatic cylinder, and a hydraulic cylinder.

[0071] As a possible implementation, see Figures 12 to 16 The multi-dimensional pick-and-place mechanism includes an X-axis drive sub-mechanism 22, a Y-axis drive sub-mechanism 21, and a Z-axis drive sub-mechanism 8. The drive rod of the Z-axis drive sub-mechanism 8 is provided with a suction nozzle 801 for sucking the product to be tested.
