Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of circuit board production, and particularly relates to a needle module probe service life tracing system, method and device. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the process of circuit board production, the circuit board usually needs to be tested. When the circuit board is tested, a test machine is needed, and a large number of probes and needle module assemblies are used. However, the probes and needle module assemblies are consumables, and will be worn and deformed after long-term use, affecting the test contact effect, resulting in NTF (No Trouble Found, i.e. no fault found), increasing the retest ratio, and making it impossible to guarantee the test accuracy. Moreover, the probes and needle module assemblies have a rated service life, and probe failure will cause test interruption, retest, and abnormal pressure, reducing production efficiency. Moreover, overuse of the probes to complete damage will increase maintenance costs, and premature replacement of the probes will also cause cost waste, making the consumable procurement arrangement unreasonable and leading to unreasonable resource utilization. Therefore, the probes and needle module assemblies need to be controlled and replaced and maintained during use.

[0003] In the conventional technology, the probes and needle module assemblies are usually controlled and replaced and maintained by manual operation. However, the manual operation is affected by the proficiency of the operator and the stability of the clamp, resulting in low efficiency, high labor cost, and unsuitable repetitive labor operation for the manufacturing industry. In addition, the number of test machines is large, and manual operation has the risk of confusion and wrong replacement. Moreover, the manual operation does not have the function of tracing and controlling, which is not conducive to the management of spare parts and is not conducive to systematic control. SUMMARY

[0004] The present application provides a needle module probe service life tracing system, method and device, which can solve the technical problem that the conventional technology controls and replaces and maintains the probes and needle module assemblies by manual operation, resulting in low efficiency, high cost, easy confusion and wrong replacement, and no tracing and controlling function, which is not conducive to systematic control.

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present application provides a needle module probe service life monitoring and tracing system, comprising:

[0006] a host computer;

[0007] a control device comprising a controller connected to the host computer; and

[0008] a needle module tracing mechanism comprising a plurality of needle module tracing assemblies connected to the controller;

[0009] Each of the needle mold traceability components includes a needle mold structure and a needle mold traceability unit connected to the controller, as well as a needle mold probe disposed on the needle mold structure;

[0010] The needle mold structure is used to be set on the testing machine, and the needle mold traceability unit is used to record and store the product information and usage information of the needle mold structure and the needle mold probe.

[0011] In addition, the present invention also proposes a method for tracing the service life of a needle mold probe, which is applied to the needle mold probe service life monitoring and tracing system described above.

[0012] The method includes:

[0013] S100. Before the test machine starts testing, detect the product information and real-time usage count recorded by the needle mold traceability component on the test machine.

[0014] S200: When it is detected that the real-time usage count recorded by the needle mold traceability component meets the preset service life condition, control the test machine to start the test operation.

[0015] S300. During the testing process of the test machine, whenever the needle mold traceability component works once, the real-time usage count is incremented once to obtain the current usage count;

[0016] S400: When it is detected that the current number of uses does not meet the preset service life condition, a replacement command is issued for the needle mold traceability component of the test machine.

[0017] After replacing the needle mold traceability component, repeat the above steps S100, S200, S300, and S400.

[0018] In addition, the present invention also proposes a needle mold probe lifespan tracing device, which is applied to the needle mold probe lifespan monitoring and tracing system as described above;

[0019] The device includes:

[0020] The pre-test detection module is used to detect the product information and real-time usage count recorded by the needle mold traceability component on the test machine before the test machine starts testing.

[0021] The test control module is used to control the test machine to start the test operation when it is detected that the real-time usage count recorded by the needle mold traceability component meets the preset service life condition.

[0022] The control module during testing is used to increment the real-time usage count once each time the needle mold tracing component works to obtain the current usage count during the testing process of the testing machine.

[0023] The needle mold replacement control module is used to issue a replacement command for the needle mold traceability component of the test machine when it is detected that the current number of uses does not meet the preset service life condition.

[0024] The needle mold replacement control module is used to repeat the implementation steps of the pre-test detection module, the test control module, the test control module, and the needle mold replacement control module after the needle mold traceability component has been replaced.

[0025] Furthermore, this invention also proposes a needle-shaped probe lifespan monitoring and traceability system, comprising:

[0026] Host computer;

[0027] The control device includes a controller connected to the host computer; and,

[0028] The needle mold tracing mechanism includes multiple needle mold tracing components connected to the controller;

[0029] Each of the needle mold traceability components includes a needle mold structure and a needle mold traceability unit connected to the controller, as well as a needle mold probe disposed on the needle mold structure;

[0030] The needle mold structure is used to be set on the testing machine, and the needle mold traceability unit is used to record and store the product information and usage information of the needle mold structure and the needle mold probe.

[0031] The controller is used to implement the needle probe lifespan tracing method described above.

[0032] The beneficial effects of the technical solution provided by this invention include:

[0033] By installing a needle mold traceability component on the needle mold structure (i.e., the upper needle mold body and its upper test probe, or / and the lower needle mold body and its lower test probe) of each testing machine, and by connecting the needle mold traceability components of multiple testing machines to the controller of the control device, the product information and usage count information of the needle mold structure (i.e., the upper needle mold body and its upper test probe, or / and the lower needle mold body and its lower test probe) can be recorded through the needle mold traceability unit (i.e., the upper needle mold traceability unit and / or the lower needle mold traceability unit) on the needle mold traceability component.

[0034] Furthermore, during the operation of the needle mold structure on each testing machine, the controller can communicate and control the needle mold structure. This allows for the acquisition of product information and usage count information recorded by the needle mold traceability unit on the needle mold structure, as well as control the pressing of the needle mold structure against the test circuit board. It also enables the electrical connection between the needle mold probes on the needle mold structure and the test circuit board for testing. Moreover, during the testing of the test circuit board, the controller can modify the usage count information of the needle mold structure and its probes recorded by the needle mold traceability unit (i.e., add one usage count to the original count). Furthermore, when the controller detects that the usage count information of the needle mold structure and its probes recorded by the needle mold traceability unit has reached the preset service life condition, it can send a reminder to the host computer, prompting the operator to replace and maintain the needle mold structure and its probes on that testing machine.

[0035] This allows for the automatic recording and monitoring of the usage counts of the needle mold structures (i.e., the upper needle mold body and its upper test probes, or / and the lower needle mold body and its lower test probes) on multiple testing machines. It enables automatic control over the needle mold probes and needle mold structures on multiple testing machines, and can promptly remind operators to replace and maintain probes and needle mold components that have reached their preset service life. This significantly improves production efficiency, reduces labor costs, minimizes confusion and misuse, and provides traceability control, facilitating spare parts management and promoting systematic control.

[0046] To make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0047] like Figure 1 As shown, this invention proposes a needle probe lifespan monitoring and traceability system 100, including a host computer 110, a control device 120, and a needle probe traceability mechanism for mounting on a testing machine. The control device 120 can automatically control the needle probe traceability mechanism, and the host computer 110 can configure the control device 120 and receive control information (including product information and lifespan information related to the needle probe traceability mechanism) transmitted by the control device 120.

[0048] Furthermore, the control device 120 may include a controller 122 connected to the host computer 110. The needle mold tracing mechanism may also include multiple needle mold tracing components 130 connected to the controller 122, each of which may be located at a testing station on the testing machine. Moreover, the control device 120 may include one or more controllers 122, each of which may be connected to multiple needle mold tracing components 130, thereby enabling control of more needle mold tracing components 130 and the testing machine.

[0049] Moreover, such as Figures 2 to 4 As shown, each needle mold traceability component 130 may include a needle mold structure and a needle mold traceability unit connected to the controller 122, as well as needle mold probes disposed on the needle mold structure. Furthermore, the needle mold structure can be installed on a testing machine, and the needle mold traceability unit can be used to record and store product information (including product identification information and product location information) and usage count information of the needle mold structure and needle mold probes. By setting a needle mold traceability component 130 on the needle mold structure of each testing machine, and ensuring that the needle mold traceability components 130 of multiple testing machines are all connected to the controller 122 of the control device 120, the product information and usage count information of the needle mold structure and its needle mold probes can be recorded through the needle mold traceability unit on the needle mold traceability component 130.

[0050] When the needle mold structure of each testing machine is in operation, the controller 122 can communicate and control the needle mold structure. This allows the controller to acquire product information and usage count information of the needle mold structure and its probes recorded by the needle mold traceability unit. It can also control the pressing of the needle mold structure against the test circuit board and electrically connect the probes to the test circuit board for testing. Furthermore, during testing of the test circuit board, the controller 122 can modify the usage count information of the needle mold structure and its probes recorded by the needle mold traceability unit (i.e., add one usage count to the original count). Moreover, when the controller 122 detects that the usage count information of the needle mold structure and its probes recorded by the needle mold traceability unit has reached the preset service life condition, it can send a reminder to the host computer 110, prompting the operator to replace and maintain the needle mold structure of that testing machine. Furthermore, the host computer 110 can perform visual monitoring and upload monitoring data and replacement / maintenance information in conjunction with the MES (Manufacturing Execution System).

[0051] In this way, the number of times the needle mold structure of multiple testing machines is used can be automatically recorded and monitored. This allows for automatic control of the needle mold probes and needle mold structures of multiple testing machines. It can also promptly remind operators to replace and maintain probes and needle mold components that have reached the preset service life. This can greatly improve production efficiency, reduce labor costs, and prevent confusion and incorrect replacement. It also has traceability control function, which facilitates the management of spare parts and is conducive to systematic control.

[0052] Furthermore, such as Figures 2 to 4As shown, the needle mold structure may include an upper needle mold body 131 for mounting on the upper side of the testing machine, and / or a lower needle mold body 134 for mounting on the lower side of the testing machine. Correspondingly, the needle mold probe may include an upper test probe 132 mounted on the upper needle mold body 131, and / or a lower test probe 135 mounted on the lower needle mold body 134; and the needle mold traceability unit may include an upper needle mold traceability unit 133 mounted on the upper needle mold body 131, and / or a lower needle mold traceability unit 136 mounted on the lower needle mold body 134. The upper needle mold body 131, upper needle mold traceability unit 133, lower needle mold body 134, and lower needle mold traceability unit 136 are all connected to the controller 122; and the upper needle mold traceability unit 133 is used to record product information and usage count information of the upper needle mold body 131 and the upper test probe 132, while the lower needle mold traceability unit 136 is used to record product information and usage count information of the lower needle mold body 134 and the lower test probe 135.

[0053] Moreover, such as Figure 2 As shown, in some embodiments, the needle mold structure may include an upper needle mold body 131 for mounting on the upper side of the testing machine, a corresponding upper test probe 132 mounted on the upper needle mold body 131, and a corresponding upper needle mold traceability unit 133 mounted on the upper needle mold body 131. That is, in this embodiment, the needle mold traceability component 130 may only include the upper needle mold body 131, the upper test probe 132, and the upper needle mold traceability unit 133. The test circuit board can be inspected through the upper needle mold body 131 and the upper test probe 132, and the product information and usage count information of the needle mold body 131 and the upper test probe 132 can be recorded through the upper needle mold traceability unit 133.

[0054] like Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, the needle mold structure may include a lower needle mold body 134 for placement on the lower side of the testing machine, a needle mold probe may correspondingly include a lower test probe 135 disposed on the lower needle mold body 134, and a needle mold traceability unit may correspondingly include a lower needle mold traceability unit 136 disposed on the lower needle mold body 134. That is, in this embodiment, the needle mold traceability component 130 may only include the lower needle mold body 134, the lower test probe 135, and the lower needle mold traceability unit 136. The test circuit board can be detected by the lower needle mold body 134 and the lower test probe 135, and the product information and usage count information of the lower needle mold body 134 and the lower test probe 135 can be recorded by the lower needle mold traceability unit 136.

[0055] like Figures 4 to 6As shown, in some other embodiments, the needle mold structure may include an upper needle mold body 131 for being disposed on the upper side of the testing machine, a lower needle mold body 134 for being disposed on the lower side of the testing machine, an upper test probe 132 and an upper needle mold traceability unit 133 disposed on the upper needle mold body 131, and a lower test probe 135 and a lower needle mold traceability unit 136 disposed on the lower needle mold body 134. In this embodiment, the needle mold traceability component 130 may simultaneously include an upper needle mold body 131, an upper test probe 132, an upper needle mold traceability unit 133, a lower needle mold body 134, a lower test probe 135, and a lower needle mold traceability unit 136. The test circuit board can be tested through the upper needle mold body 131 and the upper test probe 132, as well as the lower needle mold body 134 and the lower test probe 135. The upper needle mold traceability unit 133 records the product information and usage count information of the needle mold body 131 and the upper test probe 132, while the lower needle mold traceability unit 136 records the product information and usage count information of the lower needle mold body 134 and the lower test probe 135.

[0056] Furthermore, such as Figure 7 As shown, both the upper needle mold traceability unit 133 and the lower needle mold traceability unit 136 may include a needle mold circuit board 1332 disposed on the upper needle mold body 131 or the lower needle mold body 134, an information processing and storage chip 1334 disposed on the needle mold circuit board 1332, and a communication connection terminal 1336 disposed on the needle mold circuit board 1332 and connected to the information processing and storage chip 1334. The communication connection terminal 1336 is connected to the controller 122. The controller 122 can read the product information and usage count information stored in the information processing and storage chip 1334 of the upper needle mold traceability unit 133 or the lower needle mold traceability unit 136 through the communication connection terminal 1336, and can also change the usage count information stored in the information processing and storage chip 1334, thereby monitoring the service life (i.e., usage count) of the needle mold structure (i.e., the upper needle mold body 131 and its upper test probe 132, and the lower needle mold body 134 and its lower test probe 135).

[0057] Specifically, such as Figure 7 As shown, the upper needle mold traceability unit 133 may include an upper needle mold circuit board 1332 disposed on the upper needle mold body 131, a first information processing and storage chip 1334 disposed on the upper needle mold circuit board 1332, and a first communication connection terminal 1336 disposed on the upper needle mold circuit board 1332 and connected to the first information processing and storage chip 1334. The first communication connection terminal 1336 is connected to the controller 122. The first information processing and storage chip 1334 records and stores upper needle mold product information and upper needle mold usage count information of the upper needle mold body 131, and also records and stores upper probe product information and upper probe usage count information of the upper test probe 132 on the upper needle mold body 131.

[0058] Similarly, the lower needle mold traceability unit 136 may include a lower needle mold circuit board 1332 disposed on the lower needle mold body 134, a second information processing and storage chip 1334 disposed on the lower needle mold circuit board 1332, and a second communication connection terminal 1336 disposed on the lower needle mold circuit board 1332 and connected to the second information processing and storage chip 1334. The second communication connection terminal 1336 is connected to the controller 122. The second information processing and storage chip 1334 records and stores the lower needle mold product information and the number of times the lower needle mold is used on the lower needle mold body 134, and also records and stores the lower probe product information and the number of times the lower test probe 135 is used on the lower needle mold body 134.

[0059] In this embodiment, the information processing and storage chip 1334 can be configured as an erasable programmable read-only memory (EEProm). The EEPROM chip can be soldered onto the pin mold circuit board 1332, and the entire EEPROM chip is independent and can be set separately from the pin mold structure. Through the lower pin mold traceability unit 136 centered on the EEPROM chip, the lifespan of each probe used by the testing machine and each corresponding pin mold structure is monitored (i.e., the number of times the probe and pin mold structure are used is recorded and stored in real time). Moreover, the lifespan information of the probe and pin mold structure is recorded and stored in the EEPROM chip. The controller 122 of the control mechanism 120 can only accumulate the number of uses written to the EEPROM chip; it cannot erase historical data and product information. The information recorded on the EEPROM chip can only be cleared and maintained offline using a dedicated computer and programming tool.

[0060] Furthermore, both the upper needle mold body 131 and the lower needle mold body 134 can be detachably mounted on the testing machine. The upper needle mold traceability unit 133 is detachably mounted on the upper needle mold body 131, and the lower needle mold traceability unit 136 is detachably mounted on the lower needle mold body 134. By detachably mounting the upper needle mold body 131 and the lower needle mold body 134 of the needle mold traceability assembly 130 on the testing station of the testing machine, it is convenient to install, disassemble, replace, and maintain the needle mold traceability assembly 130. Moreover, by detachably mounting the upper needle mold traceability unit 133 and the lower needle mold traceability unit 136 on the needle mold structure, it is convenient to install and disassemble the upper needle mold traceability unit 133, thereby facilitating information entry and equipment replacement.

[0061] Furthermore, this invention also proposes a method for tracing the service life of a needle-shaped probe, applied to the needle-shaped probe service life monitoring and tracing system 100 described above. Specifically, as... Figure 8 As shown, the method for tracing the service life of the needle-shaped probe may include the following steps:

[0062] S100. Before the test machine starts testing, check the product information and real-time usage count recorded by the needle mold traceability component 130 on the test machine.

[0063] S200: When the real-time usage count recorded by the needle mold traceability component 130 meets the preset service life condition, control the test machine to start the test.

[0064] S300. During the testing process of the test machine, each time the needle mold tracer component works once, the real-time usage count is incremented to obtain the current usage count;

[0065] S400: When it is detected that the current number of uses does not meet the preset service life condition, a replacement command is issued for the needle mold traceability component 130 of the test machine.

[0066] S500: After replacing the needle mold traceability component 130, repeat the above steps S100, S200, S300, and S400.

[0067] Before formally testing the test circuit board using the testing machine, the product information and real-time usage count recorded by the pin mold traceability component 130 on the testing machine can be checked to determine whether the real-time usage count of the pin mold traceability component 130 meets the preset service life condition. When the pin mold traceability component 130 meets the preset service life condition, the test circuit can be tested using the testing machine. During each test, the control can increment the real-time usage count recorded by the pin mold traceability component 130 by one (i.e., accumulate the real-time usage count to obtain the current usage count). Furthermore, during the testing process, the real-time usage count recorded by the pin mold traceability component 130 will continuously accumulate until the current usage count recorded by the pin mold traceability component 130 reaches the preset service life usage count (i.e., does not meet the preset service life condition). At this point, the host computer 110 will be alerted to replace and maintain the pin mold traceability component 130. After replacing and maintaining the pin mold traceability component 130 on the testing machine, the test circuit board can continue to be tested using the testing machine, repeating the cycle.

[0068] This traceability method can automatically record and monitor the number of times the needle mold traceability component 130 of the testing machine is used, thereby automatically controlling the needle mold traceability component 130 of the testing machine and promptly reminding operators to replace and maintain the needle mold traceability component 130 when the number of uses reaches the preset service life condition. This can greatly improve production efficiency, reduce labor costs, and reduce the likelihood of confusion and incorrect replacement. It also has traceability control function, which facilitates the management of spare parts and is conducive to systematic control.

[0069] Furthermore, in step S100, detecting the product information and real-time usage count recorded by the needle mold traceability component 130 on the testing machine may further include the following steps:

[0070] S110. Obtain the needle mold product information (including needle mold identity information and needle mold location information) and the real-time usage count of the needle mold recorded by the needle mold traceability unit of the needle mold traceability component 130 on the test machine.

[0071] Specifically, the needle mold structure may include at least one of an upper needle mold body 131 and a lower needle mold body 134, the needle mold probe may include at least one of an upper test probe 132 and a lower test probe 135, and the needle mold traceability unit may include at least one of an upper needle mold traceability unit 133 and a lower needle mold traceability unit 136. Therefore, the above step S110 may include:

[0072] The upper needle mold product information and real-time usage count of the upper needle mold body 131 and the upper test probe 132 recorded by the upper needle mold traceability unit 133 of the needle mold traceability component 130 on the test machine, and / or the lower needle mold product information and real-time usage count of the lower needle mold body 134 and the lower test probe 135 recorded by the lower needle mold traceability unit 136.

[0073] When the needle mold traceability component 130 only includes the upper needle mold body 131, the upper test probe 132, and the upper needle mold traceability unit 133, it acquires the upper needle mold product information and real-time usage count of the upper needle mold body 131 and the upper test probe 132 recorded by the upper needle mold traceability unit 133 of the needle mold traceability component 130 on the testing machine; when the needle mold traceability component 130 only includes the lower needle mold body 134, the lower test probe 135, and the lower needle mold traceability unit 136, it acquires the lower needle mold product information and real-time usage count of the upper needle mold body 134 and the lower test probe 135 recorded by the lower needle mold traceability unit 136 of the needle mold traceability component 130 on the testing machine. The needle mold product information and the real-time usage count of the lower needle mold; when the needle mold traceability component 130 includes an upper needle mold body 131, an upper test probe 132, an upper needle mold traceability unit 133, a lower needle mold body 134, a lower test probe 135, and a lower needle mold traceability unit 136, the upper needle mold traceability unit 133 of the needle mold traceability component 130 on the test machine records the upper needle mold product information and the real-time usage count of the upper needle mold body 131 and the upper test probe 132, and the lower needle mold product information and the real-time usage count of the lower needle mold body 134 and the lower test probe 135 recorded by the lower needle mold traceability unit 136.

[0074] Furthermore, the upper needle mold traceability unit 133 of the needle mold traceability component 130 on the testing machine can be pre-set on the upper needle mold body 131 of the needle mold traceability component 130. This unit can pre-set the upper needle mold product information and the real-time usage count of the upper needle mold body 131 and its upper test probe 132. The upper needle mold product information may include the respective serial number, type, usage, and manufacturing information of the upper needle mold body 131 and the upper test probe 132; while the real-time usage count may include the number of times each of the upper needle mold body 131 and the upper test probe 132 has been used. In this embodiment, in the initial state, the real-time usage count of both the upper needle mold body 131 and the upper test probe 132 can be zero.

[0075] Similarly, the lower needle mold traceability unit 136 can be pre-installed on the lower needle mold body 134 of the needle mold traceability component 130, wherein the lower needle mold product information and the real-time usage count of the lower needle mold body 134 and the lower test probe 135 on it can be pre-installed. Similarly, the lower needle mold product information may include the respective number, type, usage, and manufacturing information of the lower needle mold body 134 and the upper test probe 132; while the real-time usage count of the lower needle mold may include the number of times the lower needle mold body 134 and the lower test probe 135 have been used. In this embodiment, in the initial state, the real-time usage count of the lower needle mold body 134 and the lower test probe 135 can both be zero.

[0076] S120. Detect whether the real-time usage count of the upper needle mold is less than the preset usage count of the upper needle mold, or / and whether the real-time usage count of the lower needle mold is less than the preset usage count of the lower needle mold.

[0077] Specifically, when the needle mold traceability component 130 only includes the upper needle mold body 131, it only detects whether the real-time usage count of the upper needle mold is less than the preset usage count of the upper needle mold; when the needle mold traceability component 130 only includes the lower needle mold body 134, it only detects whether the real-time usage count of the lower needle mold is less than the preset usage count of the lower needle mold; when the needle mold traceability component 130 includes both the upper needle mold body 131 and the lower needle mold body 134, it detects whether the real-time usage count of the upper needle mold is less than the preset usage count of the upper needle mold, and also detects whether the real-time usage count of the lower needle mold is less than the preset usage count of the lower needle mold.

[0078] For the upper needle mold body 131 and its upper test probe 132, and the lower needle mold body 134 and its lower test probe 135, their lifespan information (i.e., the total number of times each component can be used within its lifespan) can be obtained in advance, and the corresponding preset usage counts for the upper and lower needle molds can be set according to the obtained lifespan information. Then, each time the needle mold traceability component 130 is monitored, the real-time usage count of the upper needle mold body 131 and its upper test probe 132 can be compared with the preset upper needle mold usage count to determine the magnitude of the two; similarly, the real-time usage count of the lower needle mold body 134 and its lower test probe 135 can also be compared with the preset lower needle mold usage count to determine the magnitude of the two.

[0079] S130. When the real-time usage count of the upper needle mold is less than the preset usage count of the upper needle mold, or / and the real-time usage count of the lower needle mold is less than the preset usage count of the lower needle mold, it is determined that the real-time usage count recorded by the needle mold traceability component 130 meets the preset service life condition.

[0080] Specifically, when the needle mold traceability component 130 only includes the upper needle mold body 131, and when the real-time usage count of the upper needle mold is less than the preset usage count of the upper needle mold, it is determined that the real-time usage count of the upper needle mold body 131 and the upper test probe 132 recorded by the upper needle mold traceability unit 133 of the needle mold traceability component 130 meets its corresponding preset service life condition, that is, the real-time usage count of the upper needle mold body 131 and the upper test probe 132 has not exceeded its preset service life.

[0081] Similarly, when the needle mold traceability component 130 only includes the lower needle mold body 134, and the real-time usage count of the lower needle mold is less than the preset usage count of the lower needle mold, it is determined that the real-time usage count of the lower needle mold body 134 and the lower test probe 135 recorded by the lower needle mold traceability unit 136 of the needle mold traceability component 130 meets its corresponding preset service life condition, that is, the real-time usage count of the lower needle mold body 134 and the lower test probe 135 has not exceeded its preset service life.

[0082] Furthermore, when the needle mold traceability component 130 includes both an upper needle mold body 131 and a lower needle mold body 134, the real-time usage count of the upper needle mold must be less than the preset usage count of the upper needle mold, and the real-time usage count of the lower needle mold must be less than the preset usage count of the lower needle mold before it can be determined that the real-time usage count recorded by the needle mold traceability component 130 meets the preset service life condition.

[0083] S140. When the real-time usage count of the upper needle mold is equal to or greater than the preset usage count of the upper needle mold, or / and the real-time usage count of the lower needle mold is equal to or greater than the preset usage count of the lower needle mold, it is determined that the real-time usage count recorded by the needle mold traceability component 130 does not meet the preset service life condition.

[0084] Specifically, when the needle mold traceability component 130 only includes the upper needle mold body 131, and when the real-time usage count of the upper needle mold is equal to or greater than the preset usage count of the upper needle mold, it is determined that the real-time usage count of the upper needle mold body 131 and the upper test probe 132 recorded by the upper needle mold traceability unit 133 of the needle mold traceability component 130 does not meet its corresponding preset service life condition, that is, the real-time usage count of the upper needle mold body 131 and the upper test probe 132 exceeds its service life.

[0085] Similarly, when the needle mold traceability component 130 only includes the lower needle mold body 134, and the real-time usage count of the lower needle mold is equal to or greater than the preset usage count of the lower needle mold, it is determined that the real-time usage count of the lower needle mold body 134 and the lower test probe 135 recorded by the lower needle mold traceability unit 136 of the needle mold traceability component 130 does not meet its corresponding preset service life condition, that is, the real-time usage count of the lower needle mold body 134 and the lower test probe 135 exceeds its service life.

[0086] Furthermore, when the needle mold traceability component 130 includes both an upper needle mold body 131 and a lower needle mold body 134, it can be determined that the real-time usage count recorded by the needle mold traceability component 130 meets the preset service life condition when the real-time usage count of the upper needle mold is equal to or greater than the preset usage count of the upper needle mold, or / and the real-time usage count of the lower needle mold is equal to or greater than the preset usage count of the lower needle mold.

[0087] Furthermore, in step S100, detecting the product information and real-time usage count recorded by the needle mold traceability component 130 on the testing machine can further include the following steps:

[0088] S112. Obtain the upper needle mold product information and first real-time usage count of the upper needle mold body 131, and the upper probe product information and second real-time usage count of the upper test probe 132 recorded by the upper needle mold traceability unit 133 of the needle mold traceability component 130 on the test machine, and / or obtain the lower needle mold product information and third real-time usage count of the lower needle mold body 134, and the lower probe product information and fourth real-time usage count of the lower test probe 135 recorded by the lower needle mold traceability unit 136 of the needle mold traceability component 130 on the test machine.

[0089] Since the upper needle mold body 131, upper test probe 132, lower needle mold body 134, and lower test probe 135 of the needle mold traceability component 130 have their own product information and usage count information, it is necessary to obtain the information of each component recorded in the upper needle mold traceability unit 133 and the lower needle mold traceability unit 136 respectively.

[0090] S122. Detect whether the first real-time usage count is less than the first preset usage count, and whether the second real-time usage count is less than the second preset usage count, or / and whether the third real-time usage count is less than the third preset usage count, and whether the fourth real-time usage count is less than the fourth preset usage count.

[0091] Similarly, since the upper needle mold body 131, upper test probe 132, lower needle mold body 134, and lower test probe 135 of the needle mold traceability component 130 have their own usage count information, it is necessary to set corresponding preset usage count information so as to compare the real-time usage count of each component with the corresponding preset usage count to determine the corresponding size relationship.

[0092] S132. When the first real-time usage count is less than the first preset usage count, the second real-time usage count is less than the second preset usage count, or / and the third real-time usage count is less than the third preset usage count, and the fourth real-time usage count is less than the fourth preset usage count, it is determined that the real-time usage count recorded by the needle mold traceability component 130 meets the preset service life condition.

[0093] That is, when the real-time usage count of each component of the needle mold traceability component 130, such as the upper needle mold body 131 and the upper test probe 132, is less than the corresponding preset usage count, or / and when the real-time usage count of each component of the needle mold traceability component 130, such as the lower needle mold body 134 and the lower test probe 135, is less than the corresponding preset usage count, it proves that the lifespan of the component recorded by the needle mold traceability component 130 has not exceeded its preset lifespan.

[0094] S142. When the first real-time usage count is equal to or greater than the first preset usage count, the second real-time usage count is equal to or greater than the second preset usage count, or / and the third real-time usage count is equal to or greater than the third preset usage count, and the fourth real-time usage count is equal to or greater than the fourth preset usage count, it is determined that the real-time usage count recorded by the needle mold traceability component 130 does not meet the preset service life condition.

[0095] Similarly, when it is detected that the real-time usage count of each component of the needle mold traceability component 130, such as the upper needle mold body 131 and the upper test probe 132, is equal to or greater than their respective preset usage count, or / and the real-time usage count of each component of the lower needle mold body 134 and the lower test probe 135, is equal to or greater than their respective preset usage count, it proves that the lifespan of the component recorded by the needle mold traceability component 130 exceeds its preset lifespan.

[0096] Furthermore, in step S200, when the real-time usage count recorded by the needle mold traceability component 130 meets the preset service life condition, the test machine is controlled to start the test operation, which may further include the following steps:

[0097] S210. When the real-time usage count recorded by the needle mold traceability component 130 meets the preset service life condition, the upper needle mold body 131 on the test machine is pressed against the test circuit board, or the lower needle mold body 134 on the test machine is pressed against the test circuit board, or the upper needle mold body 131 and the lower needle mold body 134 on the test machine are pressed against the test circuit board.

[0098] To facilitate the lifting and lowering of the upper die body 131 and / or the lower die body 134, a die lifting drive can be installed on the testing machine to move the upper die body 131 and / or the lower die body 134 up and down. Thus, by controlling the operation of the die lifting drive, the upper die body 131 and / or the lower die body 134 can be driven to press the test circuit board.

[0099] Furthermore, when the needle mold structure only includes the upper needle mold body 131, the test circuit board can be pressed and tested by controlling the upper needle mold body 131 on the test machine and the test circuit board through the upper needle mold body 131 and the upper test probe 132; when the needle mold structure only includes the lower needle mold body 134, the test circuit board can be pressed and tested by controlling the lower needle mold body 134 on the test machine and the test circuit board through the lower needle mold body 134 and the lower test probe 135; when the needle mold structure includes both the upper needle mold body 131 and the lower needle mold body 134, the test circuit board can be pressed and tested by controlling the upper needle mold body 131 and the lower needle mold body 134 on the test machine and the test circuit board through the upper needle mold body 131 and the upper test probe 132, and the lower needle mold body 134 and the lower test probe 135 from both sides.

[0100] S220. When it is detected that the upper needle mold body 131 is pressed onto the test circuit board and the upper test probe 132 is electrically connected to the test circuit board, or the lower needle mold body 134 is pressed onto the test circuit board and the lower test probe 135 is electrically connected to the test circuit board, or the upper needle mold body 131 and the lower needle mold body 134 are pressed onto the test circuit board and the upper test probe 132 and the lower test probe 135 are electrically connected through the test circuit board, the test machine is controlled to test the test circuit board.

[0101] Specifically, when the needle mold structure only includes the upper needle mold body 131, and when testing the test circuit board, the test circuit board can be placed on the test machine first. Then, when the needle mold traceability component 130 of the test machine meets the test requirements, the upper needle mold body 131 on the upper side of the test machine is pressed onto the test circuit board, so that the upper test probe 132 on the upper needle mold body 131 is electrically connected to the circuit terminal of the test circuit board, so that the test circuit board is connected to the electrical testing mechanism of the test machine to perform electrical testing on the test circuit board.

[0102] Furthermore, when the needle mold structure only includes the lower needle mold body 134, and when testing the test circuit board, the test circuit board can be placed on the test machine first. Then, when the needle mold traceability component 130 of the test machine meets the test requirements, the lower needle mold body 134 on the test machine can be pressed onto the test circuit board, so that the lower test probe 135 on the lower needle mold body 134 is electrically connected to the circuit terminal of the test circuit board, so that the test circuit board is connected to the electrical testing mechanism of the test machine to perform electrical testing on the test circuit board.

[0103] Furthermore, when the needle mold structure includes an upper needle mold body 131 and a lower needle mold body 134, and when testing the test circuit board, the test circuit board can first be placed on the lower needle mold body 134 of the needle mold tracing component 130 of the testing machine, and the first circuit terminal of the test circuit board can be connected to the lower detection probe on the lower needle mold body 134. Then, when the needle mold tracing component 130 of the testing machine is detected to meet the test requirements, the upper needle mold body 131 on the upper side of the testing machine is controlled to press down on the lower needle mold body 134 and the test circuit board on the lower side, so that the upper needle mold body 131 is pressed onto the lower needle mold body 134 and the test circuit board on the lower side, and the upper test probe 132 on the upper needle mold body 131 is connected to the second circuit terminal of the test circuit board, so that the test circuit board is connected to the electrical testing mechanism of the testing machine for electrical testing of the test circuit board.

[0104] Furthermore, in step S300, whenever the needle mold traceability component 130 operates once, the real-time usage count is incremented to obtain the current usage count, which may further include the following steps:

[0105] S310. Whenever the needle mold traceability component 130 works once, the upper needle mold traceability unit 133 on the upper needle mold body 131 is controlled to increment the count of the real-time usage of the upper needle mold recorded by it to obtain the current usage count of the upper needle mold.

[0106] Or / and, S320, whenever the needle mold traceability component 130 works once, control the lower needle mold traceability unit 136 on the lower needle mold body 134 to increment the count of the real-time usage of the lower needle mold recorded by it, so as to obtain the current usage count of the lower needle mold.

[0107] During the operation of the testing machine, the upper needle mold body 131 (and upper test probe 132) and / or the lower needle mold body 134 (and lower test probe 135) of the needle mold traceability component 130 are used to press and electrically connect the test circuit to perform electrical testing on the test circuit board. Each time the upper needle mold body 131 and / or the lower needle mold body 134 of the needle mold traceability component 130 is pressed together with the test circuit board, it proves that at least one of them has been used once; moreover, each time the upper test probe 132 and / or the lower test probe 135 is electrically connected to the test circuit board, it also proves that at least one of them has been used once.

[0108] Therefore, during the operation of the testing machine, the real-time usage count M of the upper needle mold recorded by the upper needle mold traceability unit 133 can be incremented by 1 to obtain the current usage count M+1 of the upper needle mold, where M is an integer greater than or equal to 0; or / and, the real-time usage count N of the upper needle mold recorded by the lower needle mold traceability unit 136 can be incremented by 1 to obtain the current usage count N+1 of the upper needle mold, where N is an integer greater than or equal to 0.

[0109] Furthermore, in step S300, each time the needle mold traceability component 130 operates once, the real-time usage count is incremented to obtain the current usage count, which can be further elaborated as follows:

[0110] S312. Whenever the upper needle mold body 131 of the needle mold traceability component 130 is pressed onto the test circuit board on the test machine, and the upper test probe 132 on the upper needle mold body 131 is electrically connected to the test circuit board, the upper needle mold traceability unit 133 on the upper needle mold body 131 is controlled to increment the count of the first real-time usage of the upper needle mold body 131 recorded by it to obtain the first current usage count, and increment the count of the second real-time usage of the upper test probe 132 recorded by it to obtain the second current usage count.

[0111] That is, each time the upper needle mold body 131 of the needle mold traceability component 130 is pressed together with the test circuit board, the first real-time usage count M1 of the upper needle mold body 131 recorded by the upper needle mold traceability unit 133 is incremented by 1 to obtain the first current usage count M1+1 of the upper needle mold body 131, where M1 is an integer greater than or equal to 0; at the same time, each time the upper test probe 132 is electrically connected to the test circuit board, the second real-time usage count M2 of the upper test probe 132 recorded by the upper needle mold traceability unit 133 is incremented by 1 to obtain the second current usage count M2+1 of the upper test probe 132, where M2 is an integer greater than or equal to 0.

[0112] S322. Whenever the lower needle mold body 134 of the needle mold traceability component 130 is pressed onto the test circuit board on the test machine, and the lower test probe 135 on the lower needle mold body 134 is electrically connected to the test circuit board, the lower needle mold traceability unit 136 on the lower needle mold body 134 is controlled to increment the count of the third real-time usage of the lower needle mold body 134 recorded by it to obtain the third current usage, and increment the count of the fourth real-time usage of the lower test probe 135 recorded by it to obtain the fourth current usage.

[0113] Similarly, each time the upper needle mold body 131 and the lower needle mold body 134 of the needle mold traceability component 130 are pressed together, the third real-time usage count N1 of the lower needle mold body 134 recorded by the lower needle mold traceability unit 136 is incremented by 1 to obtain the third current usage count N1+1 of the lower needle mold body 134, where N1 is an integer greater than or equal to 0; at the same time, the upper test probe 132 and the lower test probe 135 are also connected to the test circuit board once, causing the fourth real-time usage count N2 of the lower test probe 135 recorded by the lower needle mold traceability unit 136 to be incremented by 1 to obtain the fourth current usage count N2+1 of the lower test probe 135, where N2 is an integer greater than or equal to 0.

[0114] S312. Whenever the upper needle mold body 131 and the lower needle mold body 134 of the needle mold traceability assembly 130 are pressed onto both sides of the test circuit board, and the upper test probe 132 on the upper needle mold body 131 and the lower test probe 135 on the lower needle mold body 134 are electrically connected through the test circuit board, the upper needle mold traceability unit 133 on the upper needle mold body 131 is controlled to increment the count of the first real-time usage of the upper needle mold body 131 recorded by it to obtain the first current usage, and increment the count of the second real-time usage of the upper test probe 132 recorded by it to obtain the second current usage, and the lower needle mold traceability unit 136 on the lower needle mold body 134 is controlled to increment the count of the third real-time usage of the lower needle mold body 134 recorded by it to obtain the third current usage, and increment the count of the fourth real-time usage of the lower test probe 135 recorded by it to obtain the fourth current usage.

[0115] Furthermore, in step S400, when it is detected that the current number of uses does not meet the preset service life condition, a replacement command is issued for the needle mold traceability component 130 of the testing machine, which may further include the following steps:

[0116] S410. Detect whether the current number of times the upper needle mold has been used is less than the preset number of times the upper needle mold has been used, or / and whether the current number of times the lower needle mold has been used is less than the preset number of times the lower needle mold has been used.

[0117] That is, after each test of the test circuit board is completed by the test machine, the current number of times the upper needle mold is used (including the first current number of times the upper needle mold body 131 and the second current number of times the upper test probe 132 is used) recorded by the upper needle mold tracing unit 133 of the needle mold tracing component 130, and / or the current number of times the lower needle mold is used (including the third current number of times the lower needle mold body 134 and the fourth current number of times the lower test probe 135 is used) recorded by the lower needle mold tracing unit 136 is detected. The current number of times the upper needle mold is used is compared with the preset number of times the upper needle mold is used (including the first preset number of times the upper needle mold body 131 and the second preset number of times the upper test probe 132 is used), and / or the current number of times the lower needle mold is used is compared with the preset number of times the lower needle mold is used (including the third preset number of times the lower needle mold body 134 and the fourth preset number of times the lower test probe 135 is used) to determine the relationship between the two.

[0118] S420. When the current number of times the upper needle mold is used is greater than or equal to the preset number of times the upper needle mold is used, or / and the current number of times the lower needle mold is used is greater than or equal to the preset number of times the lower needle mold is used, it is determined that the current number of times the needle mold traceability component 130 records does not meet the preset service life condition.

[0119] Specifically, if the first current usage count of the upper needle mold body 131 is greater than or equal to the first preset usage count, it is determined that the first current usage count does not meet its preset service life condition; or, if the second current usage count of the upper test probe 132 is greater than or equal to the second preset usage count, it is determined that the second current usage count does not meet its preset service life condition; or, if the third current usage count of the lower needle mold body 134 is greater than or equal to the third preset usage count, it is determined that the third current usage count does not meet its preset service life condition; or, if the fourth real-time usage count of the lower test probe 135 is greater than or equal to the fourth preset usage count, it is determined that the fourth current usage count does not meet its preset service life condition.

[0120] S430: When it is detected that the current number of uses does not meet the preset service life conditions, a replacement command is issued for the needle mold traceability component 130 of the test machine.

[0121] When the current number of uses of the upper needle mold body 131, upper test probe 132, lower needle mold body 134, or lower test probe 135 is detected to be less than its preset service life, a replacement command can be sent to the host computer 110 to remind that the corresponding upper needle mold body 131, upper test probe 132, lower needle mold body 134, or lower test probe 135 needs to be replaced and maintained. When it is found that the service life of the test probe in the needle mold traceability component 130 has expired, the probe will be replaced offline. At this time, information needs to be re-entered offline, including resetting the probe service life and recording the replacement information.

[0122] S440. When it is detected that the current number of uses meets the preset service life condition, control the test machine to continue testing.

[0123] Furthermore, after issuing a replacement command for the needle mold traceability component 130 of the testing machine in step S400, the following steps may also be included:

[0124] S450: Obtain new product information recorded by the needle mold traceability component 130 on the test machine.

[0125] After replacing the needle mold traceability component 130 on the test machine, before testing the test circuit board through the test machine, it is necessary to reread the new product information recorded by the needle mold traceability component 130 regarding the upper mold body and its upper test probe 132, as well as the new product information regarding the lower mold body and its lower test probe 135.

[0126] S460. When new product information is detected, the new real-time usage count recorded by the needle mold traceability component 130 is obtained.

[0127] If the new product information recorded by the needle mold traceability component 130 can be read, it can be preliminarily proven that the replacement of the new needle mold traceability component 130 (including the upper mold body, upper test probe 132, lower mold body, and lower test probe 135) has been completed. After the replacement of the new needle mold traceability component 130 is preliminarily detected, the new real-time usage counts of the upper mold body and upper test probe 132 recorded by the upper needle mold traceability unit 133 of the new needle mold traceability component 130, and / or the new real-time usage counts of the lower mold body and lower test probe 135 recorded by the lower needle mold traceability unit 136 can be retrieved again.

[0128] S470. When the number of new real-time uses is detected to be zero, it is determined that the replacement of the needle mold traceability component 130 of the test machine is completed.

[0129] The replacement of the needle mold traceability component 130 can be determined to be complete when at least one of the new real-time usage counts recorded by the upper needle mold traceability unit 133 regarding the upper mold body and upper test probe 132, or / and the new real-time usage counts recorded by the lower needle mold traceability unit 136 regarding the lower mold body and lower test probe 135, is zero. The controller performs a check each time the needle mold traceability component 130 is replaced to prevent the use of incompatible needle molds for testing, which could lead to quality issues.

[0130] The solution proposed in this invention allows for real-time monitoring of the lifespan of probes and molds, facilitating timely replacement and ensuring the testing accuracy of the testing equipment. Furthermore, real-time monitoring of probe and mold lifespan enables early prevention of probe and mold failures, maintaining smooth production and improving efficiency. It also allows for timely replacement of probes and molds, avoiding excessive use leading to complete damage and increased maintenance costs, or premature replacement before the probes reach their lifespan, thus avoiding cost waste. Data-driven data allows for rational allocation of consumables, optimizing resource utilization and reducing overall costs. Finally, real-time monitoring of probe and mold lifespan ensures the quality of probes and molds, guaranteeing normal testing processes, preventing defective products from flowing downstream, and ensuring product quality.

[0131] Moreover, this invention can systematically control the lifespan of each probe in the needle mold, with data recorded by the chip to ensure traceability of lifespan control; data recording is performed by the EEPROM chip, replacing manual statistics, reducing labor costs and improving data accuracy; it can automatically detect and control the lifespan of probes and needle molds in real time without affecting the stability of the testing equipment and UPH (Units Per Hour); it meets customer requirements, realizes automated production line processes, and improves market competitiveness.

[0132] Furthermore, in other embodiments, the present invention also proposes a needle probe lifespan tracing device 1000, applied to the needle probe lifespan monitoring and tracing system 100 as described above. Specifically, as Figure 9 As shown, the needle probe lifespan tracking device 1000 may specifically include:

[0133] The pre-test detection module 1002 is used to detect the product information and real-time usage count recorded by the needle mold traceability component 130 on the test machine before the test machine starts testing.

[0134] The test control module 1004 is used to control the test machine to start the test when the real-time number of uses recorded by the needle mold traceability component 130 meets the preset service life condition.

[0135] During testing, the control module 1006 is used to increment the real-time usage count once each time the needle mold traceability component 130 works to obtain the current usage count.

[0136] The needle mold replacement control module 1008 is used to issue a replacement command for the needle mold traceability component 130 of the test machine when it is detected that the current number of uses does not meet the preset service life conditions.

[0137] The needle mold replacement control module 1009 is used to repeat the implementation steps of the pre-test detection module 1002, test control module 1004, test control module 1006, and needle mold replacement control module 1008 after the needle mold traceability component 130 is replaced.

[0138] The needle probe lifespan tracking device 1000 described in this embodiment corresponds to the needle probe lifespan tracking method described above. The functions of each module in the needle probe lifespan tracking device 1000 in this embodiment are described in detail in the corresponding method embodiments, and will not be repeated here. Moreover, as Figures 1 to 5 As shown, the specific structure of the needle probe lifespan monitoring and traceability system 100 in this embodiment is also described in detail in the above embodiment, and will not be repeated here.

[0139] Furthermore, in other embodiments, such as Figures 1 to 2 As shown, the present invention also proposes a needle probe lifespan monitoring and traceability system 100, including a host computer 110, a control device 120, and a needle probe traceability mechanism for mounting on a testing machine. The control device 120 can automatically control the needle probe traceability mechanism, and the host computer 110 can configure the control device 120 and receive control information (including product information and lifespan information related to the needle probe traceability mechanism) transmitted by the control device 120.

[0140] Furthermore, the control device 120 may include a controller 122 connected to the host computer 110. The needle mold tracing mechanism may also include multiple needle mold tracing components 130 connected to the controller 122, each of which may be located at a testing station on the testing machine. Moreover, the control device 120 may include one or more controllers 122, each of which may be connected to multiple needle mold tracing components 130, thereby enabling control of more needle mold tracing components 130 and the testing machine.
