[0059] To make the objects, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present disclosure clearer, the following will be combined with the accompanying drawings for the embodiments of the present disclosure to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some but not all of the embodiments of the present disclosure. Based on the embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure. It should be noted that, in the case of no conflict, the embodiments in the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other at will.

[0060] Figure 1 is a structural schematic diagram of a chip guide jig a according to an exemplary embodiment; Figure 2 is a structural schematic diagram of the chip guide jig a (except the pressing plate) according to an exemplary embodiment; Figure 3 is a structural schematic diagram of the chip guide jig a according to an exemplary embodiment; Figure 2 is a sectional view in A-A direction of the chip guide jig a according to an exemplary embodiment; Figure 4 is an exploded view of the chip guide jig a (the pressing plate is not shown) according to an exemplary embodiment; Figure 5 is a sectional view in A-A direction of the test device (the pressing plate is not shown) according to an exemplary embodiment; Figure 2 is a sectional view in A-A direction of the test device (the pressing plate is not shown) according to an exemplary embodiment; Figure 6 is a bottom view of the guide structure according to an exemplary embodiment. According to an exemplary embodiment of the present disclosure, the embodiment provides a chip guide jig a for chip positioning and installation in cooperation with a test socket b, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The chip guide jig a includes a base body 1, a guide structure 2, and a first alignment compensation structure 3.

[0061] As shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the guide structure 2 is disposed in the substrate 1. The guide structure 2 defines a guide channel 22 for guiding the chip into the test socket b. The guide structure 2 is configured to move relative to the substrate 1 in a first direction and / or a second direction, both of which are perpendicular to the conduction direction of the guide channel 22. The guide structure 2 is a cylindrical structure with a hollow portion. Figure 3 The Z-direction through guide structure shown in the figure has a hollow portion used to define the guide channel 22 for guiding the chip into the test socket b.

[0062] like Figure 3 As shown, the first alignment compensation structure 3 is disposed on the guide structure 2. The first alignment compensation structure 3 is used to generate an interaction force with the test socket b to adjust the position of the guide structure 2 relative to the test socket b. In one example, the first alignment compensation structure 3 can be a wedge, arc-shaped protrusion, etc., disposed on the outer wall of the cylindrical structure (i.e., the guide structure) to perform alignment compensation through physical contact. In another example, the first alignment compensation structure 3 can be a magnet or an electromagnetic coil. One of the magnet and the electromagnetic coil is disposed on the chip guide fixture a, and the other is disposed on the test socket b. When the chip guide fixture a approaches the test socket b, the magnetic force between the magnet and the electromagnetic coil can drive the guide structure to adjust its position to complete the alignment compensation.

[0063] When placing the chip guide fixture a and the test socket b together, it is difficult to ensure that the chip guide fixture a and the test socket b are in a perfect matching position due to various influencing factors such as mechanical errors. However, in this disclosure, by setting a first alignment compensation structure 3 on the guide structure, when a positional deviation occurs between the chip guide fixture a and the test socket b, such as... Figure 5 As shown, during the process of guiding the chip under pressure, the guide structure 2 can adjust its own position by the interaction force generated by the misalignment between it and the test socket b, so that the position of the guide structure 2 can be corrected back to the correct mating position.

[0064] In one example, such as Figure 2 As shown, the first direction is the length direction of the base 1 ( Figure 2 The x-direction shown in the figure), the second direction is the width direction of base 1 ( Figure 2 As shown in the y-direction, the first and second directions are perpendicular to each other. During the test, the length direction of the chip is parallel to the length direction of the substrate, and the width direction of the chip is parallel to the width direction of the substrate.

[0065] In one exemplary embodiment, such as Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the first alignment compensation structure 3 includes a first deviation rectifying surface 31 formed on the outer wall of the guide structure 2, which is configured to generate a deviation rectifying force in the first direction and / or the second direction by physically contacting the test socket b.

[0066] In an example, the first deviation rectifying surface 31 can also be configured to repel the test socket b magnetically. In this example, by passing currents with opposite flow directions through the first deviation rectifying surface 31 and the test socket b, the first deviation rectifying surface 31 and the test socket b are given repulsive electromagnetic forces, so as to have the same effect as physical contact, while also reducing friction between the first deviation rectifying surface 31 and the test socket b, and reducing loss. In this example, in addition to passing currents with opposite flow directions through the first deviation rectifying surface 31 and the test socket b to make them repel each other magnetically, the same-pole magnetic material or the like can also be used, which will not be described in detail here.

[0067] In an example embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 The first deviation rectifying surface 31 includes a first guide inclined surface 311 formed on the outer wall of the guide structure 2, which is inclined from the outer side to the inner side of the guide channel 22 in the guide direction (Z direction shown in Figure 3 The first guide inclined surface 311 constitutes a reverse conical guide surface.

[0068] When the position between the chip guide fixture a and the test socket b deviates, the projection of the guide structure 2 on the horizontal plane of the test socket b will overlap. When the chip guide fixture a approaches the test socket b, the reverse conical guide surface of the guide structure 2 will contact the corresponding structure of the test socket b. Due to the characteristics of the reverse conical guide surface, a force along the normal direction of the inclined surface will be generated at the contact point, which enables the test socket b to provide a force for rectifying the deviation of the chip guide fixture a, and the first guide inclined surface 311 can limit the displacement direction of the chip guide fixture a to complete the deviation rectification of the guide structure 2.

[0069] In an example, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 6As shown, the first guide bevel 311 is provided with four, four first guide bevel 311 is arranged on the four outer walls of the guide structure 2, four first guide bevel 311 away from the end of the guide structure 2 enclosed into a rectangular profile, the long side of the rectangular profile is parallel to the first direction, the short side of the rectangular profile is parallel to the second direction. When the short side of the rectangular profile deviates from the test socket b, in the process of moving the guide structure 2 towards the test socket b, the first guide bevel 311 corresponding to the aforementioned short side outside the test socket b will contact the test socket b, at the same time the test socket b will give the aforementioned first guide bevel 311 a correction force along the first direction, the guide structure 2 will move along the first direction under the action of the correction force, so that the short side outside the test socket b moves to the range of the test socket b. In another example, when the long side of the rectangular profile deviates from the test socket b, in the process of moving the guide structure 2 towards the test socket b, the first guide bevel 311 corresponding to the aforementioned long side outside the test socket b will contact the test socket b, at the same time the test socket b will give the aforementioned first guide bevel 311 a correction force along the second direction, the guide structure 2 will move along the second direction under the action of the correction force, so that the short side outside the test socket b moves to the range of the test socket b.

[0070] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 and Figure 3 The base 1 includes a trigger structure 11 for unlocking the clamping mechanism of the test socket b. The guide structure 2 is movably connected with the trigger structure 11, and the guide structure 2 is arranged to be capable of moving relative to the trigger structure 11 along the first direction and / or the second direction.

[0071] In order to fix the chip after being mounted on the test socket b, the test socket b is provided with a clamping mechanism (not shown in the figure) with an opening area smaller than the area of the chip. Therefore, when mounting the chip, the trigger structure 11 needs to unlock and open the opening of the clamping mechanism, so that the chip can be placed into the test socket b. When the trigger structure 11 unlocks the clamping mechanism, the trigger structure 11 is in a fixed state, so the guide structure 2 needs to be movably connected with the trigger structure 11, so that the guide structure 2 can move relative to the trigger structure 11 along the first direction and / or the second direction to complete the correction.

[0072] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figure 2 The trigger structure 11 is in the shape of a cylinder, and part of the inner wall of the trigger structure 11 is protruded to form a support structure 111. Part of the outer wall of the guide structure 2 is protruded outward to form a matching structure 21. Along the direction of the guide channel 22, the support structure 111 and the matching structure 21 are at least partially arranged opposite to each other, and the support structure 111 and the matching structure 21 are in rolling connection or sliding connection.

[0073] AsFigure 2 and Figure 3 As shown in FIG. 2, the guide structure 2 is located in the inner hollow part of the cylindrical trigger structure 11, and is restricted in the inner hollow part of the trigger structure 11 without being taken out by the support force provided by the support structure 111 to the cooperation structure 21. There is a gap between the cooperation structure 21 on the guide structure 2 and the inner wall of the trigger structure 11, so in actual use, the guide structure 2 can not only move along the guide direction of the guide channel 22 in the pressing process, but also can be displaced along the first direction and / or the second direction to complete the deviation correction due to the rolling connection or sliding connection between the support structure 111 and the cooperation structure 21.

[0074] The number of support structures 111 and cooperation structures 21 can be set to be multiple according to the actual structure.

[0075] In an example, as shown in FIG. 2, the support structure 111 and the cooperation structure 21 are respectively provided with two symmetrical ones, and the two support structures 111 are respectively corresponding to the positions of the two cooperation structures 21. By setting two groups of symmetrical support structures 111 and cooperation structures 21, the support force received by the guide structure 2 can be more symmetrical, and the guide structure 2 can be placed more stably in the trigger structure 11 without deviation. Figure 3 In an example embodiment, the support structure 111 is in sliding connection with the cooperation structure 21. When the support structure 111 and the cooperation structure 21 are in sliding connection, it is usually necessary to spray solid lubricant on the surface where the support structure 111 and the cooperation structure 21 contact, or use polytetrafluoroethylene composite material and other materials with self-lubricating properties to reduce the friction coefficient and reduce the loss.

[0076] In an example embodiment, as shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, along the guide direction of the guide channel 22, the part of the surface of the support structure 111 facing the cooperation structure 21 is recessed to form a first groove body 112; the part of the surface of the cooperation structure 21 facing the support structure 111 is recessed to form a second groove body 211; the first groove body 112 and the second groove body 211 are snap-fitted, and the rolling structure 14 is arranged in the first groove body 112 and the second groove body 211.

[0077] Figure 3 Figure 4 As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, along the guide direction of the guide channel 22, the part of the surface of the support structure 111 facing the cooperation structure 21 is recessed to form a first groove body 112; the part of the surface of the cooperation structure 21 facing the support structure 111 is recessed to form a second groove body 211; the first groove body 112 and the second groove body 211 are snap-fitted, and the rolling structure 14 is arranged in the first groove body 112 and the second groove body 211.

[0078] ​​In the process of deviation correction of the guide structure 2, the guide structure 2 will be displaced relative to the trigger structure 11, and thus the friction between the opposite surfaces of the supporting structure 111 and the cooperating structure 21 will occur and loss will be generated. By opening the first groove 112 on the supporting structure 111, opening the second groove 211 on the cooperating structure 21, and clamping the rolling structure 14 between the two, the sliding friction can be converted into rolling friction, thereby reducing the wear between the guide structure 2 and the trigger structure 11, and improving the service life of the chip guide jig a. And the design of the groove can be used to accommodate the rolling structure 14, preventing the rolling structure 14 from falling off during movement.

[0079] In order to enable the rolling structure 14 to smoothly roll in the first groove 112 and the second groove 211, the depth and width of the first groove 112 and the second groove 211 need to be limited, so that the width of the first groove 112 and the second groove 211 is greater than the width of the rolling structure 14, and the sum of the depths is less than the height of the rolling structure 14.

[0080] In an example, the width of the first groove 112 and the second groove 211 is 0.5 mm greater than the width of the rolling structure 14, and the depth of the first groove 112 and the second groove 211 is one third of the height of the rolling structure 14.

[0081] In an example embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 The rolling structure 14 is in the shape of a ball or a cylinder.

[0082] When the guide structure 2 is displaced relative to the trigger structure 11, the rolling structure 14 in the shape of a ball or a cylinder can roll in the first groove 112 and the second groove 211 following the displacement, converting the sliding friction between the guide structure 2 and the trigger structure 11 into rolling friction, reducing the friction loss, and prolonging the service life of the product.

[0083] In an example embodiment, as shown in Figures 2 to 4 The base body 1 further comprises a first mounting structure 12 connected with the trigger structure 11; a first reset member 15 is arranged between the first mounting structure 12 and the guide structure 2, and the first reset member 15 is used to provide a force to the guide structure 2 to reset the guide structure 2 to the initial position relative to the trigger structure 11.

[0084] The first mounting structure 12 is fixedly connected with the triggering structure 11, and the method of fixedly connecting can be set at will, such as bolt connection, welding connection, and in the embodiment, the first mounting structure 12 is fixedly connected with the triggering structure 11 by bolts. In addition, the material of the first mounting structure 12 is generally set to be the same as that of the triggering structure 11, so as to ensure that the thermal expansion coefficients are consistent and the influence of temperature change on the structural precision is reduced. The shape of the first mounting structure 12 can be determined according to the overall structural layout, and can be a plate shape, a polygonal frame shape, etc.

[0085] In an example, the first mounting structure 12 is a hollow plate structure, and the shape of the hollow position of the first mounting structure 12 is the same as the shape of the cross section of the guide channel 22, for passing the chip.

[0086] In actual use, the guide structure 2 will displace to a certain extent when the chip guiding jig a is placed in cooperation with the test socket b. After the chip is placed, the chip guiding jig a will be disengaged from the current test socket b and moved to cooperate with other test sockets b which do not place chips. After the chip guiding jig a is moved, the cooperation position of the chip carrying jig 6 with the current test socket b can be different from the cooperation position with the previous test socket b, and therefore, the first reset member 15 is arranged, which can drive the guide structure 2 to be reset to the initial position relative to the triggering structure 11 after use, so as to facilitate the normal operation of the next correction action. Avoiding that the guide structure 2 affects the correction effect due to not being restored to the initial position, and avoiding that the position deviation between the guide structure 2 and the test socket b is too large, so that the guide structure 2 and the test socket b are extruded and damaged.

[0087] In an example embodiment, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 The first reset member 15 includes a first telescopic spring 151 and at least one ball 152. The telescopic direction of the first telescopic spring 151 is parallel to the guide direction of the guide channel 22; the at least one ball 152 is arranged between the end of the first telescopic spring 151 and the guide structure 2, and / or the at least one ball 152 is arranged between the end of the first telescopic spring 151 and the first mounting structure 12. The diameter of the ball 152 is greater than the inner diameter of the first telescopic spring 151, and the first telescopic spring 151 can be arranged in different numbers as needed.

[0088] In an example, as shown in Figure 4As shown, the first telescopic springs 151 are provided in four, and the four first telescopic springs 151 are divided into two groups, and the two groups of first telescopic springs 151 are respectively located between the two matching structures 21 of the guide structure 2 and the first mounting structure 12. The side of the matching structure 21 facing the first mounting structure 12 is partially recessed to form a third groove, and the side of the first mounting structure 12 facing the matching structure 21 is partially recessed to form a fourth groove, and the third groove and the fourth groove are oppositely arranged. In this example, the third groove and the fourth groove are also provided with four respectively according to the number of first telescopic springs 151, and the positions of the third groove and the fourth groove correspond to the positions of the four first telescopic springs 151. Eight balls 152 are provided, and the eight balls 152 are respectively located in the third groove and the fourth groove, and the two ends of the four first telescopic springs 151 are in extrusion contact with the corresponding position of the ball 152, so that the four first telescopic springs 151 are fixed between the first mounting structure 12 and the guide structure 2.

[0089] When the guide structure 2 is displaced for deviation correction, the four first telescopic springs 151 will bend with the movement of the guide structure 2, and the balls 152 will rotate to avoid direct contact between the first telescopic springs 151 and the guide structure 2, thereby reducing the wear of the guide structure 2 and prolonging the service life of the guide structure 2. When the chip placement is completed, the guide structure 2 is lifted, and at this time, since the guide structure 2 no longer contacts the test socket b, the first telescopic spring 151 returns to its initial (unbent) state, and the guide structure 2 also returns to the initial position.

[0090] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown, Figures 2 to 4 The base body 1 further includes a second mounting structure 13, which is movably connected with the first mounting structure 12 and / or the trigger structure 11. In the direction of the guide channel 22, the second mounting structure 13 is arranged to move closer to or away from the trigger structure 11. In the first direction and / or the second direction, the second mounting structure 13 is arranged to move relative to the first mounting structure 12.

[0091] During the process of placing the chip guide jig a in the test socket b, the placement position may deviate, but the test socket b is fixedly arranged, so when the trigger structure 11 contacts the clamping mechanism of the test socket b, the trigger structure 11 will be displaced to a certain extent in at least one of the first direction and the second direction under the action of the test socket b. In this embodiment, the second mounting structure 13 is arranged to move relative to the first mounting structure 12, which can ensure that when the trigger structure 11 is displaced, the first mounting structure 12 connected with the trigger structure 11 can produce a corresponding displacement with the second mounting structure 13, so that no shear force is generated between the two, thereby avoiding damage to the first mounting structure 12 and the second mounting structure 13.

[0092] Meanwhile, when the trigger structure 11 is unlocked by the clamping mechanism of the test socket b, the trigger structure 11 will also be supported upward by the test socket b before the unlocking is completed, and thus a displacement upward will be generated. At this time, since the second mounting structure 13 is movably connected with the trigger structure 11 and / or the first mounting structure 12, the trigger structure 11 can be displaced in the guide direction of the guide channel 22, so as to avoid the extrusion between the trigger structure 11, the first mounting structure 12 and the second mounting structure 13, and prevent the trigger structure 11, the first mounting structure 12 and the second mounting structure 13 from being damaged under the long-term extrusion.

[0093] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 the base body 1 further comprises a second extension spring 16, the extension direction of the second extension spring 16 is parallel to the guide direction of the guide channel 22, and the two ends of the second extension spring 16 are connected with the second mounting structure 13 and the trigger structure 11 respectively.

[0094] By arranging the second extension spring 16, the second mounting structure 13 can be controlled to move close to or away from the trigger structure 11 along the guide direction of the guide channel 22.

[0095] In an example, as shown in Figure 4 the second extension spring 16 is arranged in four, the first mounting structure 12 is provided with through holes corresponding to the positions of the four second extension springs 16, and the four second extension springs 16 pass through the corresponding through holes and are connected with the second mounting structure 13. Based on this structure, the trigger structure 11 can be controlled to move close to or away from the second mounting structure 13 along the guide direction of the guide channel 22.

[0096] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figure 4 the first mounting structure 12 and the second mounting structure 13 are also provided with a ball 152, the first mounting structure 12 is provided with a fifth groove on the side facing the second mounting structure 13, the second mounting structure 13 is provided with a sixth groove on the side facing the first mounting structure 12, the positions of the fifth groove and the sixth groove correspond to each other, and the ball 152 is arranged in the fifth groove and the sixth groove.

[0097] When the first mounting structure 12 is displaced relative to the second mounting structure 13, the ball 152 can roll in the fifth groove and the sixth groove, so as to reduce the abrasion of the first mounting structure 12 and the second mounting structure 13 when they are relatively displaced, and improve the service life of the first mounting structure and the second mounting structure.

[0098] In an exemplary embodiment, as shown in Figure 1As shown, the chip guiding jig a further comprises a pressing plate 4, and a plurality of fixing grooves 41 are formed on the pressing plate 4, and a plurality of fixing through holes 42 for clamping the substrate 1 are formed in the fixing grooves 41.

[0099] The number and arrangement of the fixing grooves 41 and the fixing through holes 42 can be set according to the arrangement of the socket b to be tested. For example, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the projection area of the first mounting structure 12 on the horizontal plane is greater than the projection area of the fixing through hole 42 on the horizontal plane, and when the substrate 1 is placed, the trigger structure 11 is first inserted into the fixing through hole 42, at this time, the first mounting structure 12 is clamped on the bottom surface of the fixing groove 41, and then the second mounting structure 13 is fixed on the bottom surface of the fixing groove 41 by means of bolts or the like, thereby completing the installation of the substrate 1.

[0100] In an example, as shown, Figure 1 The fixing grooves 41 are provided in parallel, and nine fixing through holes 42 are uniformly arranged along the length direction of each fixing groove 41, and the substrate 1 is installed in the fixing groove 41 by the second mounting structure 13 and the bolt fixation. When the chip is placed, the pressing plate 4 is moved to drive all the substrates 1 and the guiding structure 2 to move, and since the arrangement has been set according to the arrangement of the socket b to be tested, only one pressing is required to complete the placement of the chip, thereby improving the work efficiency.

[0101] According to an example embodiment of the present disclosure, the present embodiment provides a test socket b, as shown, Figure 5 The test socket b comprises a chip carrying jig 6 and a second alignment compensation structure 5. The chip carrying jig 6 comprises a plurality of side walls for defining a chip accommodating cavity. The second alignment compensation structure 5 is arranged on the side wall of the chip carrying jig 6, and the second alignment compensation structure 5 is used to generate an interaction force with the guiding structure 2 of the chip guiding jig a, so as to adjust the position of the guiding structure 2 relative to the test socket b.

[0102] The main function of the chip carrying jig 6 is to accommodate the chip and provide a test interface for the chip, and the size of the chip accommodating cavity surrounded by the plurality of side walls of the chip carrying jig 6 matches the size of the chip to be tested. The second alignment compensation structure 5 can generate an interaction force with the guiding structure 2, and when the guiding structure 2 in the chip guiding jig a used in cooperation with the test socket b is not provided with the first alignment compensation structure 3, the second alignment compensation structure 5 arranged on the test socket b can also provide a deviation correction force for the guiding structure 2 to complete the deviation correction of the guiding structure 2.

[0103] In an example embodiment, as shown, Figure 5As shown, the second alignment compensation structure 5 includes a second deviation correction surface 51 formed on the inner side wall of the chip carrier fixture 6, and the second deviation correction surface 51 is configured to provide a deviation correction force to the guide structure 2 in the first direction and / or the second direction through physical contact with the guide structure 2.

[0104] In an example, the second deviation correction surface 51 can also be configured to repel the guide structure 2 magnetically. In this example, by passing currents in opposite directions through the second deviation correction surface 51 and the guide structure 2, the second deviation correction surface 51 and the guide structure 2 have repelling electromagnetic forces, which have the same effect as physical contact, while also reducing friction between the second deviation correction surface 51 and the guide structure 2, thereby reducing losses. In this example, in addition to passing currents in opposite directions through the second deviation correction surface 51 and the guide structure 2 to cause them to have repelling magnetic forces, other ways such as using magnetic materials of the same polarity can also be used, which are not described here in more detail.

[0105] In an example embodiment, as shown in Figure 5 The second deviation correction surface 51 includes a second guide inclined surface 511 formed on the inner side wall of the chip carrier fixture 6, and the second guide inclined surface 511 is inclined from the inner side to the outer side of the chip carrier fixture 6, forming a reverse conical guide surface.

[0106] The second guide inclined surface 511 can be provided in multiple, and the multiple second guide inclined surfaces 511 are provided on each inner side wall of the chip carrier fixture 6, and the second guide inclined surfaces 511 are all outwardly folded, and the multiple second guide inclined surfaces 511 collectively form a reverse conical guide surface in the shape of a trumpet mouth. When the guide structure 2 comes into physical contact with the second guide inclined surface 511, the reverse conical guide surface formed by the multiple second guide inclined surfaces 511 provides a deviation correction force to the guide structure 2 to guide the guide structure 2 to move to the correct position.

[0107] According to an example embodiment of the present disclosure, the present embodiment provides a testing device, as shown in Figure 5 The testing device includes a chip guide fixture a and a testing socket b, and the chip guide fixture a is used to cooperate with the testing socket b to position and install a chip. The chip guide fixture a and the testing socket b involved in the present embodiment are the chip guide fixture a and the testing socket b in the foregoing embodiments.

[0108] In actual use, first, the chip guiding jig a is moved to a position corresponding to the test socket b, and then the chip guiding jig a is pressed down to make the chip guiding jig a connected with the test socket b. In the process of pressing down the chip guiding jig a, the trigger structure 11 will unlock the clamping mechanism of the test socket b and open the clamping mechanism, so that the chip can be placed into the test socket b. At the same time, the guiding structure 2 will move to a position perfectly corresponding to the test socket b under the action of the correction force provided by the first alignment compensation structure 3 and the second alignment compensation structure 5, so that the chip can be accurately installed at the target position. When the above work is completed, the chip can be loaded into the test socket b through the guiding channel 22 for testing.
