The lifting driver 132 drives the lifting plate 131 to move upward, so as to lift the stack of the magazine 12 upward until the uppermost magazine 12 reaches the designated position, and the manipulator 15 takes the chip under test on the uppermost magazine 12 to the testing device 2 for testing. After the uppermost magazine 12 is empty, the transverse driving member 142 drives the magazine clamping assembly 141 to move transversely to the chip under test magazine, the longitudinal driving member 1413 drives the magazine arm 1411 to move longitudinally to the chip under test magazine, and the vertical driving member 1412 drives the magazine arm 1411 to move vertically downward. The magazine arm 1411 first guides the magazine 12 through at least four guide blocks 14119, and then clamps the magazine 12 through cooperation of at least two first clamping assemblies 14113 and at least two second clamping assemblies 14116. After the magazine arm 1411 clamps the empty magazine 12, the magazine arm 1411 moves upward, moves longitudinally out of the magazine 111, and moves transversely to the empty magazine recycling magazine, and then the empty magazine 12 is placed into the empty magazine recycling magazine. In the chip under test magazine, the lifting driver 132 drives the lifting plate 131 to continue moving upward, and continues to lift all the magazines 12 upward until the uppermost magazine 12 reaches the designated position, and the cycle operation is continued. If the chip under test is a qualified chip after testing, the manipulator 15 places the qualified chip on the magazine 12 in the qualified chip magazine. After the uppermost magazine 12 is filled with the qualified chip, the lifting driver 132 drives the lifting plate 131 to move downward, the magazine changing mechanism 14 places the empty magazine 12 in the empty magazine upper magazine on the uppermost position of the lifting plate 131, continues to load the qualified chip, and the cycle operation is continued. Similarly, if the chip under test is a defective chip after testing, the manipulator 15 places the defective chip on the magazine 12 in the defective chip magazine. After the uppermost magazine 12 is filled with the defective chip, the lifting driver 132 drives the lifting plate 131 to move downward, the magazine changing mechanism 14 places the empty magazine 12 in the empty magazine upper magazine on the uppermost position of the lifting plate 131, continues to load the unqualified chip, and the cycle operation is continued.

After the uppermost material box is empty, the transverse driving member drives the material box clamping assembly to move transversely to the material bin, the longitudinal driving member drives the material box arm to move longitudinally into the material bin, the vertical driving member drives the material box arm to move vertically downward, the material box arm clamps the empty material box and moves upward, moves out of the material bin along the longitudinal direction, and moves to other material bins along the transverse direction to place the empty material box in the material bin. The lifting driver drives the lifting disc to continue moving upward to continue lifting all the material boxes upward until the uppermost material box reaches the designated position, and the cycle operation is repeated. If the chip testing is completed and the chip is qualified, the manipulator places the qualified chip on the material box in the corresponding material bin. After the uppermost material box is filled with qualified chips, the lifting driver drives the lifting disc to move downward, the box changing mechanism places the empty material box on the uppermost part of the lifting disc, and the cycle operation is repeated. Similarly, if the chip testing is completed and the chip is unqualified, the manipulator places the unqualified chip on the material box in the corresponding material bin. After the uppermost material box is filled with unqualified chips, the lifting driver drives the lifting disc to move downward, the box changing mechanism places the empty material box on the uppermost part of the lifting disc, and the cycle operation is repeated. The chip feeding and discharging device and the chip testing machine of the application can automatically take the chips to be tested one by one for testing and automatically classify and place the tested chips, thereby improving the production efficiency.
