[0068] The embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below. The examples of the embodiments are shown in the drawings, where the same or similar reference numerals denote the same or similar elements or elements having the same or similar functions throughout.

It is only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, it should not be construed as a limitation to the present invention.

[0070] The terms "first", "second", "third", "fourth", etc. in the specification, claims and drawings of the present invention are used to distinguish different objects, rather than to describe a specific order. In addition, the terms "comprising" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusion. For example, a process, method, system, product or device that includes a series of steps or units is not limited to the listed steps or units, but optionally further includes steps or units not listed, or optionally further includes other steps or units inherent to these processes, methods, products or devices.

[0071] Referring to "embodiments" in the present invention means that the specific features, structures or characteristics described in connection with the embodiments can be included in at least one embodiment of the present invention. The occurrence of this phrase at various positions in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. Those skilled in the art explicitly and implicitly understand that the embodiments described herein can be combined with other embodiments.

[0072] In the production process of DDR4 chips, it is necessary to test them to verify whether their various functions are normal. In the prior art, when testing DDR4 chips, usually the DDR4 chips are soldered on a test circuit board, and the chips are tested through the test circuit board. However, in this way, when testing, the DDR4 chips need to be soldered on the test circuit board, and the installation and disassembly of the DDR4 chips are inconvenient, the test efficiency is low, and batch testing of the DDR4 chips cannot be achieved.

[0073] For this reason, the embodiments of the present invention provide a DDR4 chip testing method, an electronic device, and a storage medium. Each time the robotic arm can simultaneously grab two DDR4 chips and place them in a pressing device to achieve connection with a test daughter board. At the same time, each test mother board is connected to multiple test daughter boards, and the test mother board can simultaneously control the test processes of multiple test daughter boards, thereby improving the test efficiency; the robotic arm can directly grab the DDR4 chips and place them in the pressing device, and the pressing device is used to fix the DDR4 chips, without using methods such as soldering to fix the DDR4 chips on the test daughter board, thereby making the placement and disassembly of the DDR4 chips more convenient and further improving the test efficiency.

[0074] The following will describe in detail the DDR4 chip testing method, electronic device, and storage medium according to the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0075] On the one hand, an embodiment of the present invention provides a DDR4 chip testing system. As Figures 2 to 5 shown, the DDR4 chip testing system includes a testing machine platform 100. A plurality of testing tracks 110 are arranged side by side in the testing machine platform 100. At least one testing mother board 400 is placed on each testing track 110. A plurality of testing daughter boards 500 are provided on the testing mother board 400. Each testing daughter board 500 is provided with two mounting areas. Each mounting area is provided with a pressing device 600. The pressing device 600 is provided with a mounting chamber 630. A conductive adhesive 640 is arranged in the mounting chamber 630. The conductive adhesive 640 is provided with an elastic insulating layer 641 and a plurality of conductive columns 642 penetrating through the elastic insulating layer 641. Pressing sheets 670 are hinged on both sides of the mounting chamber 630. A moving mechanism 200 and a plurality of robotic arms 300 are further arranged in the testing machine platform 100. The moving mechanism 200 is located above the testing tracks 110. The robotic arms 300 are arranged on the moving mechanism 200. The robotic arms 300 correspond to the testing tracks 110 one by one.

[0076] Specifically, as Figure 3 shown, in this example, each testing mother board 400 can be provided with three (or other quantities) testing daughter boards 500. The testing daughter boards 500 are used to test the DDR4 chips. The testing mother board 400 is used to control the power on and off of the testing daughter boards 500 and obtain the test results of the testing daughter boards 500. At the same time, the testing mother board 400 is also connected to a communication board, and the communication board is connected to a host computer. After the testing mother board 400 obtains the test results, it sends the test results to the host computer through the communication board, so that the customer can obtain the test results. As Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, on the test daughter board 500, a test circuit and two installation areas are provided. Each installation area is provided with a pressing device 600. Among them, an installation chamber 630 is provided inside the pressing device 600, and the installation chamber 630 is used to place the DDR4 chip. Inside the installation chamber 630, a conductive adhesive 640 is provided. The conductive adhesive 640 is provided with an elastic insulating layer 641 and a plurality of conductive posts 642 penetrating through the elastic insulating layer 641. When the DDR4 chip is placed in the installation chamber 630, each test pin of the DDR4 chip is connected to the corresponding conductive post 642, and the DDR4 chip is connected to the test circuit on the test daughter board 500 through the conductive posts 642, enabling the test daughter board 500 to test the DDR4 chip. At the same time, in order to ensure the stable connection between the DDR4 chip and the conductive adhesive 640, after the DDR4 chip is placed in the installation chamber 630, it is also necessary to press the DDR4 chip tightly through the pressing sheet 670 to ensure the normal connection between the DDR4 chip and the conductive adhesive 640. The elastic insulating layer 641 plays a role in buffering and protecting the DDR4 chip, preventing the DDR4 chip from being damaged by the pressing sheet 670.

[0077] As Figure 4 shown, in this example, the pressing device 600 includes a positioning block 610 and a pressing block 620. The positioning block 610 is arranged in the installation area, and the positioning block 610 is provided with an installation chamber 630 and a conductive adhesive 640. The pressing block 620 is arranged on the positioning block 610. The pressing block 620 is provided with a through hole 650 communicating with the installation chamber 630. Notches 660 are arranged on both sides of the through hole 650, and hinge rods 653 are arranged in the notches 660. The pressing sheet 670 includes a pressing part 672 and a pressing portion 671. The hinge rod 653 passes through the connection between the pressing part 672 and the pressing portion 671. In the normal state, the pressing portion 671 is in an inclined downward state. When the pressing part 672 is pressed downward, the pressing portion 671 is lifted. When the pressing part 672 is released, the pressing portion 671 is pressed downward. When the DDR4 chip is to be placed into the installation chamber 630, in order to prevent the pressing sheet 670 from interfering with the placement of the DDR4 chip, it is necessary to press the pressing part 672 to lift the pressing portion 671, leaving a space for placing the DDR4 chip in the installation chamber 630. After the DDR4 chip is placed, the pressing part 672 is released to press the DDR4 chip tightly.

[0078] As Figure 5As shown, in this example, the robotic arm 300 includes two vertically movable chip suction cups 310 arranged at intervals. On both sides of each chip suction cup 310, there are pressing blocks 320, and the pressing blocks 320 protrude downward from the surface of the chip suction cup 310. The moving mechanism 200 is used to drive the robotic arm 300 to move in the XYZ-axis directions. The moving mechanism 200 can drive the robotic arm 300 to move to the chip tray 700. After the robotic arm 300 descends to a certain extent, the chip suction cup 310 continues to descend to pick up the DDR4 chips to be tested from the chip tray 700. Then the chip suction cup 310 resets, and the robotic arm 300 resets. After the moving mechanism 200 drives the robotic arm 300 to move above the pressing device 600, it then drives the robotic arm 300 to descend, so that the pressing block 320 presses down on the pressing part 672, thereby causing the pressing part 671 to lift up. The chip suction cup 310 descends to place the DDR4 chips in the installation chamber 630. Then, the chip suction cup 310 resets, and the robotic arm 300 resets. Since the robotic arm is provided with two chip suction cups 310, two DDR4 chips can be simultaneously picked up each time and placed in two pressing devices 600 of the same test sub-board 500, thereby improving the test efficiency. After all the DDR4 chips are placed and pressed on the test sub-boards 500, the test motherboard 400 controls the test sub-boards 500 to test the DDR4 chips, obtains the test results, and sends the test results to the host computer through the communication board.

[0079] As Figure 4As shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the pressing device 600 is further provided with an adjusting mechanism. The adjusting mechanism includes an adjusting rod 682 and an adjusting block 681 connected to the adjusting rod 682. The adjusting block 681 is disposed on the surface of the pressing block 620. The adjusting block 681 is provided with a threaded post, and the pressing block 620 is provided with a threaded hole. The threaded post is threadedly connected to the threaded hole, and the adjusting block 681 is connected to the adjusting rod 682 through the threaded post. An indicating arrow is provided on the adjusting block 681, and scale lines are provided on the surface of the pressing block 620. Before placing the DDR4 chip, first determine its thickness, and then rotate the adjusting block 681 according to the thickness of the DDR4 chip to adjust the height of the adjusting block 681. It should be noted that the adjusting block 681 is used to set the initial position of the pressing portion 672. The lower the height of the adjusting block 681, the lower the height that the pressing portion 672 can rebound when the robotic arm 300 releases the pressing portion 672, and the smaller the degree that the pressing portion 671 can press down; the higher the height of the adjusting block 681, the higher the height that the pressing portion 672 can rebound when the robotic arm 300 releases the pressing portion 672, and the greater the degree that the pressing portion 671 can press down. Therefore, when the thickness of the DDR4 chip is relatively large, in order to avoid damaging the DDR4 chip due to the large pressing degree of the pressing portion 671, it is necessary to lower the height of the adjusting rod 682; when the thickness of the DDR4 chip is relatively small, it is necessary to increase the height of the adjusting rod 682 so that the pressing portion 671 can press the DDR4 chip. At the same time, an indicating arrow is provided on the adjusting block 681, and scale lines are provided on the surface of the pressing block 620. Through the scale line pointed by the indicating arrow, the degree of adjustment can be visually determined to ensure that the height of the adjusting rod 682 meets the requirements.

[0080] In some embodiments of the present application, a loading conveyor belt is provided on one side of the testing machine 100, an unloading conveyor belt is provided on the other side of the testing machine 100, and the testing machine 100 is provided with a transfer conveyor belt. A number of retractable stop bars are provided on the transfer conveyor belt, and each stop bar corresponds to a testing track 110. Among them, the loading conveyor belt is used to convey the chip tray 700 to the transfer conveyor belt. Multiple mounting grooves are provided on the chip tray, and each mounting groove contains a DDR4 chip to be tested. A corresponding indicator light is provided on one side of each mounting groove; when the transfer conveyor belt is used to move the chip tray 700 to one side of the corresponding testing track 110, the stop bar extends to block the chip tray 700 from moving forward, the transfer conveyor belt stops running, and the stop bar resets; after the robotic arm 300 grabs all the DDR4 chips on the chip tray 700 and completes the test, the transfer conveyor belt runs to transfer the chip tray 700 to the unloading conveyor belt; when there is a DDR4 chip that fails the test, the indicator light of the corresponding mounting groove lights up, so that the user can visually see the DDR4 chip that fails the test.

The first power module is used to supply power to the test motherboard 400. The test motherboard 400 is electrically connected to the test daughter board 500 and the communication board through the first interface module 450. Among them, as Figure 6 shown, the main control module 410 includes an MCU chip U20 (models such as STM32F103RET6 can be used), which is the control center of the test motherboard 400, controls the power on situation of the test daughter board 500, and performs data communication and data processing. The relay module 420 adopts a mechanical structure and is controlled by the main control module 410 to be turned on and off to realize the power on and off of the test daughter board 500. The current sampling module 430 uses a high-precision sampling chip to sample the current of the DDR4 chip when testing the DDR4 chip. The display module 440 is used to drive the display screen for display. The first power module is used to provide power for the entire test motherboard 400. As Figure 10 shown, the first interface module 450 uses a connector J8 to connect to the communication board and a connector J12 to connect to the test daughter board 500.

Among them, the circuit design of the MCU control module is as Figure 18 shown, which includes an MCU chip U45 (models such as STM32F103RET6 can be used). The MCU control module is the control center of the communication board and is responsible for processing communication data; the circuit design of the network interface module is as Figure 19 shown.

[0084] On the other hand, based on the above DDR4 chip test system, an embodiment of the present invention proposes a DDR4 chip test method, as Figure 1 shown. The method includes the following steps:

[0085] Step S100: The moving mechanism 200 drives each robotic arm 300 to grab two DDR4 chips to be tested and move them above the pressing device 600;

[0086] Specifically, as Figure 5 shown. In this example, the robotic arm 300 includes two liftable chip suction cups 310 arranged at intervals. On both sides of each chip suction cup 310, there are pressing blocks 320, and the pressing blocks 320 protrude downward from the surface of the chip suction cup 310. The moving mechanism 200 is used to drive the robotic arm 300 to move in the XYZ axis directions. The moving mechanism 200 can drive the robotic arm 300 to move to the chip tray 700. After the robotic arm 300 descends to a certain extent, the chip suction cup 310 continues to descend to grab the DDR4 chip to be tested from the chip tray 700, then the chip suction cup 310 resets, the robotic arm 300 resets, and the moving mechanism 200 drives the robotic arm 300 to move above the pressing device 600.

[0087] Step S200: The moving mechanism 200 drives each robotic arm 300 to descend, so that one side of the pressing piece 670 is pressed down by the robotic arm 300, and after the other side of the pressing piece 670 is lifted, the robotic arm 300 places the DDR4 chip in the installation chamber 630;

[0088] Specifically, asFigure 4 As shown in the figure, in this example, the pressing device 600 includes a positioning block 610 and a pressing block 620. The positioning block 610 is disposed in the installation area, and the positioning block 610 is provided with an installation chamber 630 and a conductive adhesive 640. The pressing block 620 is disposed on the positioning block 610. The pressing block 620 is provided with a through hole 650 communicating with the installation chamber 630. Both sides of the through hole 650 are provided with notches 660, and a hinge rod 653 is disposed in the notches 660. The pressing sheet 670 includes a pressing portion 672 and a pressing portion 671. The hinge rod 653 passes through the connection between the pressing portion 672 and the pressing portion 671. In the normal state, the pressing portion 671 is in a state of inclining downward. When the pressing portion 672 is pressed downward, the pressing portion 671 is lifted. When the pressing portion 672 is released, the pressing portion 671 is pressed downward. The above step S200 specifically includes the following steps:

[0089] Step S210: The moving mechanism 200 drives the robotic arm 300 to descend, so that the pressing block 320 of the robotic arm 300 presses the pressing portion 672 of the pressing sheet 670, and the pressing portion 671 is lifted;

[0090] Step S220: After the pressing portion 671 is lifted, the chip suction cup 310 descends to place the DDR4 chip in the installation chamber 630;

[0091] Step S230: The chip suction cup 310 rises and resets, and the moving mechanism 200 drives the robotic arm 300 to rise, so that the pressing block 320 of the robotic arm 300 leaves the pressing portion 672, and the pressing portion 671 is pressed downward to fix the DDR4 chip.

[0092] Specifically, when the robotic arm 300 is located above the pressing device 600, the robotic arm 300 is driven to descend, so that the pressing block 320 presses the pressing portion 672 downward, and then the pressing portion 671 is lifted. The chip suction cup 310 descends to place the DDR4 chip in the installation chamber 630, and then the chip suction cup 310 resets.

[0093] Step S300: The moving mechanism 200 drives each robotic arm 300 to rise, so that the robotic arm 300 releases one side of the pressing sheet 670, and the other side of the pressing sheet 670 is pressed downward to fix the DDR4 chip and connect the DDR4 chip to the conductive column 642;

[0094] Specifically, after the chip suction cup 310 places the DDR4 chip in the installation chamber 630 and resets, the robotic arm 300 rises and resets, thereby releasing the pressing portion 672, so that the pressing portion 671 is pressed downward to press the DDR4 chip. Since the robotic arm is provided with two chip suction cups 310, two DDR4 chips can be simultaneously sucked each time and placed in two pressing devices 600 of the same test sub-board 500, thereby improving the test efficiency.

[0095] Step S400: The test motherboard 400 drives the test daughter board 500 to test the DDR4 chips and obtains the test results;

[0096] Step S500: The test motherboard 500 sends the test results to the host computer through the communication board.

[0097] According to the DDR4 chip test method of the embodiments of the present invention, the robotic arm 300 can grasp two DDR4 chips simultaneously each time, place them in the pressing device 600 to achieve connection with the test daughter board 500. At the same time, each test motherboard 400 is connected to multiple test daughter boards 500, and the test motherboard 400 can control the test processes of multiple test daughter boards 500 simultaneously, thereby improving the test efficiency; the robotic arm 300 can directly grasp the DDR4 chips and place them in the pressing device 600, and fix the DDR4 chips with the help of the pressing device 600, without using welding or other methods to fix the DDR4 chips on the test daughter board 500, making the placement and disassembly of the DDR4 chips more convenient and further improving the test efficiency.

[0098] Further, as Figure 4 shown, in some embodiments of the present application, the pressing device 600 is further provided with an adjusting mechanism. The adjusting mechanism includes an adjusting rod 682 and an adjusting block 681 connected to the adjusting rod 682. The adjusting block 681 is arranged on the surface of the pressing block 620. The adjusting block 681 is provided with a threaded column, and the pressing block 620 is provided with a threaded hole. The threaded column is in threaded connection with the threaded hole, and the adjusting block 681 is connected to the adjusting rod 682 through the threaded column. An indicating arrow is arranged on the adjusting block 681, and scale lines are arranged on the surface of the pressing block 620. The DDR4 chip test method of the embodiments of the present application further includes the following steps:

[0099] Obtain the thickness of the DDR4 chip;

[0100] According to the thickness of the DDR4 chip, rotate the adjusting block 681 to make the indicating arrow point to the corresponding scale line to adjust the height of the adjusting rod 682;

[0101] When the moving mechanism 200 drives each robotic arm 300 to rise and the pressing block 320 of the robotic arm 300 leaves the pressing part 672, the pressing part 672 rebounds to the adjusting rod 682, and the pressing part 671 presses the DDR4 chip.

[0102] Before placing the DDR4 chip, first determine its thickness, and then rotate the adjusting block 681 according to the thickness of the DDR4 chip to adjust the height of the adjusting block 681. It should be noted that the adjusting block 681 is used to set the initial position of the pressing part 672. The lower the height of the adjusting block 681, the lower the height that the pressing part 672 can rebound when the robotic arm 300 releases the pressing part 672, and the smaller the degree that the pressing part 671 can press down; the higher the height of the adjusting block 681, the higher the height that the pressing part 672 can rebound when the robotic arm 300 releases the pressing part 672, and the greater the degree that the pressing part 671 can press down. Therefore, when the thickness of the DDR4 chip is relatively large, in order to avoid the pressing part 671 pressing down too much and damaging the DDR4 chip, it is necessary to lower the height of the adjusting rod 682; when the thickness of the DDR4 chip is relatively small, it is necessary to increase the height of the adjusting rod 682 so that the pressing part 671 can press the DDR4 chip. At the same time, an indicating arrow is provided on the adjusting block 681, and scale lines are provided on the surface of the pressing block 620. Through the scale line pointed to by the indicating arrow, the degree of adjustment can be visually determined to ensure that the height of the adjusting rod 682 meets the requirements.

[0103] In some embodiments of the present application, a loading conveyor belt is provided on one side of the testing machine platform 100, an unloading conveyor belt is provided on the other side of the testing machine platform 100, the testing machine platform 100 is provided with a transfer conveyor belt, and a plurality of telescopic stop bars are provided on the transfer conveyor belt, and each stop bar corresponds to a testing track 110. Among them, the loading conveyor belt is used to convey the chip tray 700 to the transfer conveyor belt. A plurality of mounting grooves are provided on the chip tray, and each mounting groove is provided with a DDR4 chip to be tested, and a corresponding indicator light is provided on one side of each mounting groove. The DDR4 chip testing method of the embodiments of the present application further includes the following steps:

[0104] The loading conveyor belt conveys the chip tray 700 to the transfer conveyor belt;

[0105] When the transfer conveyor belt moves the chip tray 700 to one side of the corresponding testing track 110, the stop bar extends to block the chip tray 700 from moving forward, the transfer conveyor belt stops running, and the stop bar resets;

[0106] After the robotic arm 300 grabs all the DDR4 chips on the chip tray 700 for testing, the transfer conveyor belt runs to transfer the chip tray 700 to the unloading conveyor belt;

[0107] When there is a DDR4 chip that fails the test, the indicator light of the corresponding mounting groove lights up.

[0108] Through the loading conveyor belt, transfer conveyor belt and unloading conveyor belt, the automatic loading and unloading of the chip tray 700 can be realized, thereby improving the testing efficiency of DDR4 chips; when there are DDR4 chips that fail the test, the indicator lights of the corresponding mounting slots are lit, so that users can intuitively see the DDR4 chips that fail the test.
