The provided pressure plates 400 are evenly distributed along the circumference of the turntable 300, which facilitates the switching of the pressure plates 400 when testing the chip. Because the pressure plate 400 mainly serves to electrically connect the chip, different chips can be tested by switching different pressure plates 400.

The set pressure regulating device 500 realizes the pressure adjustment of the pressing plate 400, ensures that the pressure of the pressing plate 400 on the chip can be quantified, and is convenient for adjusting the pressure parameters when testing the chip. The pressure regulating device 500 includes a bracket 510, a motor 520, a pressing block 530 and a screw 540, and the bracket 510 is arranged on the base 200, The motor 520 is arranged on the bracket 510, and the pressure block 530 is connected to the bracket 510 along the vertical sliding direction.

[0026] In some embodiments, the pressure regulating device 500 can also be directly driven by a cylinder, using the shaft of the cylinder to drive the pressure block 530 to press the pressure plate 400, so that the pressure plate 400 presses the chip. In addition, the pressure regulating device 500 also includes a pressure sensor 550, and the pressure sensor 550 is arranged on the pressure plate 400. The pressure block 530 is used to press the pressure sensor 550. The pressure sensor 550 is electrically connected to the motor 520 through the PCB board 100. The set pressure sensor 550 enables the motor 520 to adaptively adjust the pressure according to demand, which is convenient for automatic control of pressure. It can be understood that the PCB board 100 integrates a control module, and the pressure sensor 550 and the motor 520 are connected through the control module. The action of the motor 520 is controlled by preset parameters, thereby automatically regulating the pressure.

[0027] Reference Figure 2 and Figure 5A temperature regulating component 250 is arranged on the base 200. The temperature regulating component 250 is used to regulate the temperature in the mounting groove 210. The temperature regulating component 250 simulates the temperature change of the environment and provides a temperature environment for chip testing. The temperature regulating component 250 includes a radiator 251 and a semiconductor refrigeration sheet 252. The semiconductor refrigeration sheet 252 has two temperature ends, one of which is arranged in the base 200, and the other is arranged in the radiator 251.

The temperature regulating component 250 is used to control the temperature of the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 252. The structure of the temperature regulating component 250 is simple, and the temperature is adjusted by using the semiconductor refrigeration sheet 252. It can be understood that the semiconductor refrigeration chip 252 can achieve the switching between cooling and heating by changing the voltage direction. The specific connection of the wires belongs to conventional technology. By switching the cooling and heating of the semiconductor refrigeration chip 252 and adjusting the cooling and heating power, the temperature in the installation slot 210 is always maintained within the preset temperature range. That is, when the temperature rises during testing, it can be cooled by the semiconductor refrigeration chip 252, and when the ambient temperature is too low, it can be heated by the semiconductor refrigeration chip 252. The radiator 251 is a necessary component, which plays the function of temperature exchange. The radiator 251 not only includes cooling fins, but also includes other necessary components such as fans. That is, the components required for the normal operation of the semiconductor refrigeration chip 252 are all conventional settings.

[0028] In some embodiments, a heat dissipation copper mesh 260 is embedded in the base 200, and the heat dissipation copper mesh 260 is arranged around the circumference of the installation groove 210. The heat dissipation copper mesh 260 is connected to one of the temperature ends of the semiconductor cooling plate 252. The heat dissipation copper mesh 260 is convenient for distributing the temperature to the base 200 to make the temperature evenly distributed. It can be understood that the heat dissipation copper mesh 260 allows the temperature generated by the semiconductor cooling plate 252 to be evenly distributed on the heat dissipation copper mesh 260, and due to the installation method of the heat dissipation copper mesh 260, the surrounding areas of the installation groove 210 can withstand a certain temperature, thereby ensuring the uniformity of the temperature in the installation groove 210 and reducing errors in the chip testing process.

[0029] Reference Figures 1 to 4 , and also includes a shielding cover 600, which is detachably connected to the base 200, and is used to shield the base 200, the turntable 300 and the pressing plate 400.

[0031] Reference Figure 3 The edge of the positioning hole 220 is provided with a transition fillet 221, and the transition fillet 221 is provided to facilitate the elastic contact pin 270 to enter the positioning hole 220. It can be understood that the transition fillet 221 can not only play a transition and guiding role for the elastic contact pin 270, but also make the elastic contact pin 270 relatively smooth when entering the positioning hole 220, thereby reducing the rigid collision between the positioning hole 220 and the elastic contact pin 270, and making the elastic contact pin 270 feel softer in the positioning hole 220, which is convenient for operation.

[0032] The technical features of the above-described embodiments may be arbitrarily combined. To make the description concise, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above-described embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.
