[0037] The present invention provides a device for testing the performance of a GPU chip. Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the device mainly includes a support base 1, a frame 2, a lifting drive mechanism 3, a drawer-type carrier 4 and a water-cooled temperature control component 5. The frame 2 is connected to the support base 1, the lifting drive mechanism 3, the drawer-type carrier 4 and the water-cooled temperature control component 5 are assembled in the frame 2, and the frame 2 is also equipped with a frame shell 6.

[0038] Among them, see Figure 2 The frame 2 is a frame structure, and the frame 2 includes a lower support plate 21, an intermediate support plate 22 and an upper support plate 23 from bottom to top. The lower support plate 21 and the upper support plate 23 are fixedly connected by a longitudinal guide shaft 24, and the intermediate support plate 22 is slidably connected to the longitudinal guide shaft 24.

[0039] Among them, see Figure 2, the lifting drive mechanism 3 is connected between the lower support plate 21 and the middle support plate 22, and is used to drive the middle support plate 22 to perform lifting movement along the longitudinal guide shaft 24, thereby driving the drawer-type carrier 4 to rise or fall. Specifically, in this embodiment, the lifting drive mechanism 3 mainly includes a rotating wheel 31 with a handle, a transmission gear 32 and a rotating shaft 33 that are sequentially connected in transmission, and a driven gear 34 is provided on the rotating shaft 33. The driven gear 34 is connected to a lifting assembly 35, and the lifting assembly 35 connects the lower support plate 21 and the middle support plate 22. By rotating the rotating wheel 31 clockwise or counterclockwise, the power is output to the lifting assembly 35 via the transmission gear 32, the rotating shaft 33 and the driven gear 34, and the lifting assembly 35 drives the middle support plate 22 to rise or fall relative to the lower support plate 21.

[0040] Among them, see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The drawer-type carrier 4 is slidably connected to the middle support plate 22 , and a test carrier 41 is connected to the drawer-type carrier 4 , and the test carrier 41 is provided with a chip test slot 42 for placing a GPU chip.

[0041] Specifically, a slide rail 43 is provided on the intermediate support plate 22, and a slide groove 44 is provided at the bottom of the drawer-type platform 4. The slide groove 44 is slidably assembled on the slide rail 43, and the drawer-type platform 4 and the intermediate support plate 22 can slide relative to each other, thereby allowing the drawer-type platform 4 to be pulled out of the rack 2 to load the GPU chip, and then the drawer-type platform 4 can be pushed into the rack 2. Furthermore, a nylon drag chain 45 can be connected between the drawer-type platform 4 and the intermediate support plate 22 to improve the stability of the drawer-type platform 4 sliding on the intermediate support plate 22.

[0042] Specifically, the test carrier 41 is provided with a chip test slot 42 for placing a GPU chip, and a connector 46 is arranged around the chip test slot 42. When testing the GPU chip, the connector 46 is used to connect the GPU chip to other chips for matching testing, such as a GPU, a graphics card, etc. In this embodiment, the drawer-type carrier 4 has an accommodating space inside, and related chips such as a GPU and a graphics card can be assembled inside the drawer-type carrier 4.

[0043] Among them, see Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5The water-cooling temperature control component 5 mainly includes a press-fit water cooling head 51 through which coolant flows, and the press-fit water cooling head 51 is connected to the upper support plate 23 and arranged opposite to the chip test slot 42. A heat exchange plate 511 is arranged on one side of the press-fit water cooling head 51 facing the chip test slot 42, and the surface shape of the heat exchange plate 511 is adapted to the surface shape of the GPU chip.

[0044] As described above, in the device for testing the performance of a GPU chip, when testing the GPU chip, the lifting drive mechanism 3 drives the drawer-type carrier 4 to rise toward the upper support plate 23, so that the heat exchange plate 511 of the pressed water cooling head 51 is pressed against the surface of the GPU chip for heat exchange, thereby controlling the test temperature of the GPU chip. Thus, the temperature of the GPU chip is controlled by liquid cooling, and the temperature control is highly accurate and can respond quickly, which can ensure that the performance test process of the GPU chip is carried out in an optimal and stable temperature environment, improve the accuracy of the test results, reduce the test cycle of a single chip, improve the test efficiency, and reduce costs.

[0045] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 4 The water-cooling temperature control assembly 5 includes a circulation pipeline 52, a heat sink 53, a pump 54, a flow meter 55, a temperature sensor 56 and the pressed water cooling head 51. The circulation pipeline 52 includes a water pipe and a leakage detection rope (not shown in the drawings) covering the water pipe, and the leakage detection rope is connected to the leakage detection sensor 57.

[0046] Among them, the circulation pipeline 52 connects the heat sink 53 and the pressed water cooling head 51, and is used for circulating the coolant between the heat sink 53 and the pressed water cooling head 51. Specifically, the coolant is transported from the heat sink 53 to the pressed water cooling head 51 to exchange heat with the GPU chip under test, and then the coolant after heat exchange is transported to the heat sink 53 for heat dissipation and cooling.

[0047] The pump 54 and the flow meter 55 are respectively connected to the circulation pipeline 52, the pump 54 is used to drive the coolant to flow in the circulation pipeline 52 and control its flow rate, and the flow meter 54 is used to detect the flow rate of the coolant. The temperature sensor 56 is connected to the heat exchange plate 511, and is used to detect the temperature of the heat exchange plate 511, and determine the temperature of the GPU chip under test based on the temperature of the heat exchange plate 511.

[0048] The pump 54, the flow meter 55, the temperature sensor 56 and the liquid leakage detection sensor 57 are respectively connected to the microcontroller chip 58 by electrical signals (such as Figure 4The temperature sensor 56 transmits the temperature data to the microcontroller chip 58 in real time. The microcontroller chip 58 forms a control instruction based on the comparison between the set temperature and the real-time temperature, controls the rotation speed of the pump 54, and further controls the flow rate of the coolant. The function of the flowmeter 55 is to detect the flow rate of the coolant and feed it back to the microcontroller chip 58 in real time. More specifically, through the functional relationship between the temperature sensor 56 and the flowmeter 55, different temperatures correspond to different flow count values, allowing the microcontroller chip 58 to control the rotation speed of the water pump, thereby achieving rapid temperature control of the GPU chip and meeting the conditions required for the test. Under the action of the leakage detection rope and the leakage detection sensor 57, it is detected in real time whether there is leakage, so as to protect the product from the harm of leakage in time and improve the safety and stability of the test.

[0049] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 A plurality of first cooling fans 11 are arranged on the side wall of the support base 1, and the cooling box 53 is accommodated in the support base 1. The cooling box 53 is connected to the circulation pipe 52 (in Figure 1 The support base 1 is connected to the press-fit water cooling head 51 located on the rack 2 (not shown). The bottom of the support base 1 is connected to the universal wheel 12 and the height-adjustable support pad 13. The device can be easily moved by the universal wheel 12. After moving to the specified position, the device can be fixed by the support pad 13, and the height can be fine-tuned so that the test carrier 41 on the drawer-type carrier 4 remains on the horizontal plane. Furthermore, a wire pipe fixing frame 25 is provided on the rack 2, and the wire pipe fixing frame 25 is used to fix the circulation pipeline 52 connected to the press-fit water cooling head 51.

[0050] The heat dissipation box 53 is provided with a second heat dissipation fan, a heat sink, a copper water pipe, and a liquid storage mechanism (not shown in the drawings). Furthermore, the pump 54 and the flow meter 55 are respectively connected to the circulation pipeline 52 and can be placed in the heat dissipation box 53, so that the structure of the entire device is more compact.

[0051] In this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 as well as Figures 5 to 8The press-fit water cooling head 51 includes a first connecting plate 512, a second connecting plate 513, a guide column 514, a spring 515 and the heat exchange plate 511. The upper support plate 23 is provided with a mounting hole 231, the mounting hole 231 is located directly above the chip test slot 42, the first connecting plate 512 is assembled in the mounting hole 231 and is fixedly connected to the upper support plate 23, the guide column 514 is movably arranged on the first connecting plate 512, the second connecting plate 513 is located above the first connecting plate 512 and connected to the first end of the guide column 514, the heat exchange plate 511 is located below the first connecting plate 512 and connected to the second end of the guide column 514, and the spring 515 is located between the heat exchange plate 511 and the first connecting plate 512 and is sleeved on the guide column 514. The heat exchange plate 511 is provided with a cooling liquid flow cavity (not shown in the drawings), and a liquid inlet connector 516 and a liquid outlet connector 517 communicating with the cooling liquid flow cavity are provided on one side of the heat exchange plate 511 facing the first connecting plate 512 .

[0052] Furthermore, if Figure 7 As shown, the first connecting plate 512 and the second connecting plate 513 are provided with avoidance holes 518 and 519 at positions corresponding to the liquid inlet connector 516 and the liquid outlet connector 517, and the circulation pipeline 52 passes through the avoidance holes 518 and 519 to be connected to the liquid inlet connector 516 and the liquid outlet connector 517 below.

[0053] As described above, the pressed water cooling head 51, based on the matching structure of the movable guide column 514 and the spring 515, the heat exchange plate 511 can be pressed toward the first connecting plate 512 and has a certain movement stroke, and the spring 515 is compressed and provides a reverse force. Therefore, when the drawer-type carrier 4 is driven to rise toward the upper support plate 23, the GPU chip placed on the test carrier 41 presses the heat exchange plate 511 toward the first connecting plate 512, and the reverse force provided by the spring 515 presses the heat exchange plate 511 toward the GPU chip. The lower surface of the heat exchange plate 511 can fit closely with the upper surface of the GPU chip for heat exchange, which can better control the test temperature of the GPU chip. Furthermore, since the heat exchange plate 511 and the GPU chip are pressed against each other based on elastic force, it can be avoided that excessive pressure affects the performance test results of the GPU chip, or even causes damage to the GPU chip.

[0054] As a preferred solution, in this embodiment, refer to Figure 6 and Figure 8The heat exchange plate 511 is divided into an isolated intermediate heat exchange portion 511a and an outer heat exchange portion 511b. The outer heat exchange portion 511b surrounds the intermediate heat exchange portion 511a. The intermediate heat exchange portion 511a and the outer heat exchange portion 511b are respectively provided with corresponding cooling liquid flow chambers and liquid inlet connectors 516 and liquid outlet connectors 517. Generally, a GPU chip includes a chip body located in the middle and a wiring area located around the chip body. When the GPU chip is working, the heat generation of these two parts is different, and the heat generation of the chip body is relatively high. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present invention, the heat exchange plate 511 is divided into an isolated and independent intermediate heat exchange portion 511a and an outer heat exchange portion 511b. The intermediate heat exchange portion 511a is used to exchange heat with the chip body of the GPU chip, and the outer heat exchange portion 511b is used to exchange heat with the wiring area of ​​the GPU chip. This can better control the temperature of the GPU chip, making the temperature of the GPU chip more balanced and stable.

[0055] Further, see Figure 8 A metal heat conductive sheet 58 is provided on the surface of the middle heat exchange portion 511a facing the chip test slot 42, and a carbon fiber heat conductive pad 59 is provided on the surface of the outer heat exchange portion 511b facing the chip test slot 42, thereby improving the heat exchange efficiency of the heat exchange plate 511.

[0056] Furthermore, a first alignment component is provided between the upper support plate 23 and the drawer-type carrier 4, and a second alignment component is provided between the pressed water cooling head 51 and the test carrier 41. By providing the alignment component, it is avoided that the pressed water cooling head 51 and the GPU chip are pressed against each other in a misaligned state, thereby damaging the GPU chip. The first alignment component and the second alignment component may be alignment components including positioning columns and positioning holes that cooperate with each other, for example, positioning columns are provided at the bottom of the upper support plate 23 and the pressed water cooling head 51, and corresponding positioning holes are provided on the surfaces of the drawer-type carrier 4 and the test carrier 41.

[0057] As a preferred solution, the water-cooled temperature control component 5 includes M pressed water cooling heads 51, and the M pressed water cooling heads 51 are connected to the circulation pipeline 52 in parallel through pipeline branches. Therefore, in the water-cooled temperature control component 5, one heat sink 53 and one pump 54 drive the M pressed water cooling heads 51 to realize the circulation of the coolant, and M is an integer of 2 to 4. Therefore, refer to Figure 1-Figure 3In the device, N chip test slots 42 are arranged on the test carrier 41; the device includes K groups of water-cooled temperature control components 5, and the total number of the pressed water cooling heads 51 included in the K groups of water-cooled temperature control components 5 is N, and the N pressed water cooling heads 51 are respectively connected to the upper support plate 23 and correspond one-to-one with the N chip test slots 42, so that the device can test N GPU chips at the same time. Wherein, N is an integer greater than M, and K is an integer greater than 1. Thus, the device can test multiple GPU chips in parallel at the same time, further improving the test efficiency.

[0058] In the most preferred solution, the N chip test slots 42 provided on the test carrier 41 are arranged in an array, N is an integer multiple of M and N=K×M, K≥2. Figure 3 and Figure 5 , 8 (i.e. N=8) chip test slots 42 are arranged on the test carrier 41, and each group of the water-cooled temperature control components 5 includes 2 (i.e. M=2) pressed water cooling heads 51. The device is provided with 4 (i.e. K=4) groups of the water-cooled temperature control components 5, which can perform parallel testing on 8 GPU chips at the same time. Usually, multiple GPU chips are tested at the same time in the same batch, and the test items are the same. The heat generation of each GPU chip is roughly the same and the temperature to be controlled is also the same. Therefore, the N chip test slots 42 are arranged in an array, and each group of water-cooled temperature control components 5 includes the same number of pressed water cooling heads 51. The temperature control procedure is simpler, the temperature control is more stable, and the overall structure of the device is compact, which effectively utilizes the space of the equipment. It needs to be explained that, Figure 5 In order to illustrate the mounting holes 231 and the chip test slots 42 therebelow, one of the mounting holes 231 is not equipped with a press-fit water cooling head 51 .

[0059] In summary, the device for GPU chip performance testing provided by the embodiment of the present invention controls the temperature of the GPU chip in a liquid cooling manner, and the temperature control has high precision and can respond quickly, which can ensure that the performance test process of the GPU chip is carried out in an optimal and stable temperature environment, improve the accuracy of the test results, reduce the test cycle of a single chip, improve the test efficiency, and reduce the cost. In addition, the device can perform parallel testing on multiple GPU chips at the same time, further improving the test efficiency.

[0060] The above is only a specific implementation of the present application. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principles of the present application. These improvements and modifications should also be regarded as the scope of protection of the present application.
