[0064] 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 back to the first state respectively, so that the pressure head moving with the vertical cylinder moves away from the chip seat in the vertical direction, and the strip-shaped through hole on the pressure plate moving with the horizontal cylinder moves to the upper side of the chip seat, so as to pick up the chip in the chip seat which has been tested and put the next batch of chips to be tested into the chip seat.

[0065] The chip which has been tested is picked up from the chip seat by the suction nozzle of the feeding and discharging assembly, and then moved to the upper side of the material bin assembly by the combination of the X-axis, the Y-axis and the Z-axis of the feeding and discharging assembly. According to the classification of the chip obtained in the test process, the chips of different grades are put into the chip trays in different discharging boxes, for example, the chips of grade A are put into the chip tray in the A discharging box, and the chips of grade B are put into the chip tray in the B discharging box. When a chip which has been tested needs to be put into the chip tray in the corresponding discharging box, the suction nozzle with the chip which has been tested is first moved to the upper side of the corresponding chip tray by the combination of the X-axis, the Y-axis and the Z-axis, and then the chip is put into the corresponding chip tray by further driving the suction nozzle downward by the blade cylinder. In this process, the chips on the other suction nozzles will not be interfered and will not fall off.

[0066] When all the chips in the test assembly that have been tested are moved to the chip tray in the unloading box, the suction nozzle of the loading and unloading assembly picks up the chip tray on the uppermost layer in the loading box of the material bin assembly to pick up the chip to be tested, and then moves the chip to be tested to the chip seat of the test assembly through the combination of the X, Y and Z axes of the loading and unloading assembly for the next round of testing, and the process is repeated in turn.

[0067] When all the chips to be tested in the chip tray on the uppermost layer in the loading box of the material bin assembly are picked up, the Z axis of the loading and unloading assembly is moved to the high position, and then the suction plate is moved above the empty chip tray through the combination of the X and Y axes of the loading and unloading assembly, and then the piston rod of the contraction cylinder is in the elongated state so that the lower surface of the suction plate is in contact with the upper surface of the empty chip tray, the vacuum pump or vacuum generator is started to adsorb the empty chip tray, and then the empty chip tray is moved to the stacking position of the empty tray through the combination of the X and Y axes of the loading and unloading assembly.

[0068] Then, the motor drives the top plate to move upward, so that the chip tray stacked on the upper surface of the top plate and containing the chip to be tested moves upward to make up the position, and the chip tray on the uppermost layer moves to the loading position; then the first cylinder and the second cylinder drive the first push block and the second push block to position the chip tray on the uppermost layer from two directions, improve the position accuracy of the chip tray on the uppermost layer, and further improve the accuracy of subsequent chip loading.

[0069] When the above-mentioned MEMS chip testing equipment is used, it can realize stable pressing of each chip and double-axis multi-angle rotation of multiple chips during testing through the pressure head, so as to realize batch testing of multiple chips, ensure the stability and consistency of the force on the chip during the whole testing process, and quickly take and place the chip in the chip seat through the strip-shaped through hole, improve the production testing efficiency and ensure the testing accuracy. The simultaneous picking and carrying of multiple chips can be realized between the material bin assembly and the test assembly, the distance between the suction nozzles can be adjusted to compensate for the position difference between the material bin assembly and the test assembly, the carrying efficiency and testing efficiency of the chip can be improved, the independent taking and placing of the chip can be realized through the contraction of the blade cylinder without affecting the chip on the other suction nozzle, and the chip tray can be adsorbed and carried as a whole without interfering with and damaging the suction nozzle during the carrying process.

Any equivalent changes or modifications made according to the spirit and essence of the present application shall be covered within the protection scope of the present application.
