The specific test process, test software, etc. do not belong to the invention of this application and will not be described here. After the test is completed, the first turntable and the second turntable are reset, and the piston rods of the vertical cylinder and the horizontal cylinder of the test assembly are switched from the second state to the first state again, so that the pressure head moving with the vertical cylinder is away from the chip seat in the vertical direction, and the strip through hole on the pressure plate moving with the horizontal cylinder is moved to the top of the chip seat, so as to pick up the chips that have been tested in the chip seat and put the next batch of chips to be tested into the chip seat; The tested chip is picked up from the chip holder by the suction nozzle of the loading and unloading assembly, and then the tested chip is moved to the top of the silo assembly by the combined movement of the X, Y and Z axes in the loading and unloading assembly. According to the grade classification of the chips obtained during the test, the chips of different grades are placed in the chip trays in different unloading boxes, for example, the chips of grade A are placed in the chip tray in the A unloading box, and the chips of grade B are placed in the chip tray in the B unloading box. When a chip that has been tested needs to be placed in the chip tray in the corresponding unloading box, the suction nozzle that picks up the tested chip is first moved to the top of the corresponding chip tray by the combined movement of the X, Y and Z axes, and then the suction nozzle is further driven downward by the blade cylinder to place the chip in the corresponding chip tray. During this process, the chips on the other suction nozzles will not be adversely interfered and collided or fallen off. After all the tested chips in the test assembly are moved to the chip tray in the unloading box, the nozzle of the upper and lower material assembly is used to pick up the chip tray on the top layer from the upper and lower material assembly to pick up the chip to be tested. Then, the chip to be tested is moved to the chip holder of the test assembly through the combined movement of the X, Y and Z axes in the upper and lower material assembly to carry out the next round of testing, and the process is repeated in sequence. When all the chips to be tested in the chip tray on the top layer in the loading box of the silo assembly are picked up, the Z axis of the upper and lower material assembly is moved to the high position, and then the adsorption plate is moved to the top of the empty chip tray through the combined movement of the upper and lower material assembly in the X and Y directions, and then the piston rod of the contraction cylinder is placed in an extended state so that the lower surface of the adsorption plate fits the upper surface of the empty chip tray, and the vacuum pump or vacuum generator is started to adsorb the empty chip tray, and then the empty chip tray is transported to the stacking place of the empty trays through the combined movement of the upper and lower material assembly in the X and Y directions; Next, the motor drives the top plate to move up, so that the chip tray stacked on the upper surface of the top plate and containing the chips to be tested moves up to fill the position, and the chip tray on the top layer moves to the loading position; then the first cylinder and the second cylinder are started to drive the first push block and the second push block to position the chip tray on the top layer from two directions, thereby improving the position accuracy of the chip tray on the top layer, and then improving the accuracy of subsequent chip loading.

[0046] When the above-mentioned MEMS chip testing equipment is used, it can not only realize stable pressing and holding of each chip through the pressure head during the test and perform dual-axis multi-angle rotation of multiple chips, thereby realizing batch testing of multiple chips, but also ensure the stability and consistency of the force applied to the chip during the entire test process, and can also quickly take and place the chip in the chip holder through the bar-shaped through hole, thereby improving production test efficiency and ensuring test accuracy. It can realize simultaneous picking and transportation of multiple chips between the silo component and the test component, and can also compensate for the chip position difference between the silo component and the test component by adjusting the distance between the suction nozzles, thereby improving the transportation efficiency and testing efficiency of the chips; it can realize independent placement of chips by contracting the blade cylinder without affecting the chips on other suction nozzles; and it can adsorb and transport the chip tray as a whole and avoid interference and damage to the suction nozzles during transportation.
