[0002] With the development of modern informatization, electronization, and intelligence, chips, as the core of modern electronic products and production equipment, have seen a year-on-year increase in usage. Moreover, due to the needs of production and life, the performance requirements for chips themselves have also been continuously improved. Therefore, chips are an essential component in modern industries. Chip quality inspection is a key link in the chip production line. In the existing chip surface defect detection operation, the chip is photographed by the shooting end of a chip appearance detector, converted into an image data signal according to an optical lens, and transmitted to a dedicated image processing system in the background to obtain relevant information such as clarity distribution, chroma, and hue, and then calculate and analyze whether there are surface defect problems on the chip.

[0003] In the existing chip surface defect detection devices, the chip is generally directly placed on a tray and then collected by a camera. However, since the chip is not fixed, it is easy for the chip to shift due to external forces during the detection process. Once the shift occurs, it will directly affect the detection result of the chip. Therefore, people think of using a clamping structure to clamp and fix the chip and then perform the detection to prevent the chip from shifting.

[0004] However, in the actual use process of the existing chip surface defect detection devices, it is necessary to manually fix the chip using the clamping structure and then take a photo with a camera, resulting in low efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0044] Embodiment 1

[0045] This embodiment discloses a chip surface defect detection device, including a workbench 1, a detection component, and a chip fixing component; the detection component and the chip fixing component are installed on the upper end surface of the workbench 1; the chip fixing component includes a fixing frame 11, a fixing plate 13, and a vibration motor 15;

[0046] A plurality of springs 21 are arranged on the fixing frame 11, the fixing plate 13 is fixedly connected to the end of the spring 21 away from the fixing frame 11, a plurality of fixing grooves 20 adapted to the chips to be detected are arranged on the fixing plate 13, the vibration motor 15 is connected to the fixing plate 13 for driving the fixing plate 13 to vibrate, and limiting frames 12 are arranged on four sides of the fixing plate 13;

[0047] The detection component can move directly above the fixing frame 11 to take pictures of the chips in the chip fixing component and perform image detection on the taken pictures.

[0048] In the above solution, during the process of the vibration motor in the chip fixing component driving the fixing plate to vibrate, some of the chips on the fixing plate will fall into the fixing grooves, thereby realizing the automatic positioning of the chips and improving the detection efficiency.

[0049] As is known to those skilled in the art, after some chips are detected, it is also necessary to detect the back side of the chips. After the above-mentioned detection device detects the chips, if it is necessary to detect the back side of the chips, the chips can only be removed, then flipped and fixed, and then the detection can be carried out, which is very cumbersome and greatly prolongs the detection time and the workload of the staff.

[0050] Therefore, this embodiment further includes a flipping component. The flipping component is in transmission connection with the chip fixing component, and the flipping component is used to drive the chip fixing component to flip. In this embodiment, specifically, the flipping component includes a first flipping motor 10, a fixed outer frame 2, and two rotating shafts 19.

After the airbag 22 is inflated, the pleated section expands and extends into the fixing groove 20 to squeeze and fix the chips. Among them, the fixing groove 20 is a through groove. Clamping the chips with the airbag can achieve soft clamping of the chips, prevent the chips from being clamped and damaged. At the same time, the airbags are communicated with each other, and when the air source device inflates the airbags, it can fix a plurality of chips at the same time.

The intercepting net 17 can intercept the chips in the fixing groove 20 to prevent the chips from falling out of the fixing groove 20. The second flipping motor 14 is in transmission connection with the rotating rod 18. Among them, on the one hand, the intercepting net in the intercepting mechanism can prevent the chips from falling out of the fixing groove when the chips are fixed. On the other hand, the impurities mixed in the chips can fall into the fixed outer frame from the intercepting net under the vibration of the vibration motor, so as to realize the filtering of the chip impurities.

[0053] Specifically, a collection assembly is provided at the lower end of the fixed outer frame 2, and the collection assembly is in communication with the fixed outer frame 2. Further, the collection assembly includes a rotating disk 23 and three collection boxes 16. The rotating disk 23 is rotatably mounted on the workbench 1 and is driven to rotate by a driving member.

Still further, the lower end surface of the fixed outer frame 2 is funnel-shaped, a blanking port is provided at the bottom of the fixed outer frame 2, and the rotating disk 23 is mounted at the lower end of the blanking port.

[0054] In the above solution, the specific functions of the three collection boxes are as follows: one is for collecting impurities mixed in the chip, one is for collecting chips that have not been detected, and the last one is for collecting chips that have been photographed and detected.

[0055] It should be noted that the detection assembly in this embodiment includes a first driving motor, a second driving motor, a first guide rail, a second guide rail, a moving frame, a mounting frame, and a photographing device.
