Detailed Implementation
[0027] The present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments. The illustrative embodiments and descriptions herein are used to explain the present invention, but are not intended to limit the present invention.
[0028] A chip testing device with a limiting structure, such as Figures 1-7 As shown, the device includes a frame 1, a first electric slide rail 2, a second electric slide rail 3, a first cylinder 4, an optical lens 5, a rotating disk 6, a rotating assembly, a clamping assembly, a mounting plate 25, a protective cover 26, a light shield 27, and a lighting lamp 31. Two first electric slide rails 2 are mounted on the frame 1, and the sliders of the two first electric slide rails 2 are connected to the second electric slide rails 3. The sliders of the second electric slide rails 3 are equipped with first cylinders 4, and the pistons of the first cylinders 4 are equipped with optical lenses 5. The optical lenses 5 are equipped with mounting plates 25, and the outer side of the mounting plates 25 is equipped with a protective cover 26. The bottom of the protective cover 26 is equipped with a light shield 27, and the bottom of the mounting plates 25 is equipped with a lighting lamp 31. The rotating disk 6 is rotatably mounted on the frame 1, and the frame 1 is equipped with a rotating assembly for rotating the rotating disk 6. The rotating disk 6 is equipped with two clamping assemblies for clamping chips.
[0029] During operation, the chip under test is fixed by one of the clamping components on the rotating disk 6. The first electric slide rail 2 and the second electric slide rail 3 work together to control the movement of the optical lens 5 in the horizontal plane, aligning it with the chip. The piston of the first cylinder 4 extends to adjust the vertical height of the optical lens 5, enabling the optical lens 5 to accurately align with the chip for imaging detection. The light shield 27 works with the clamping components to block ambient light, creating a darkroom environment to ensure that the test is not interfered with by external light. The illumination lamp 31 provides sufficient and stable light source to ensure that the optical lens 5 can acquire clear and accurate chip images, thereby detecting whether there are physical defects on the chip surface. During chip detection, another chip under test can be fixed by another clamping component. After the current chip has been detected, the rotating component drives the rotating disk 6 to rotate, removing the detected chip and simultaneously rotating the next chip to be detected under the optical lens 5, thereby significantly saving loading and unloading time and improving detection efficiency.
[0030] like Figures 2-4 As shown, the clamping assembly includes a second motor 12, a bidirectional threaded rod 13, a mounting base 14, a movable frame 15, and a first clamping plate 16. Two second motors 12 are mounted on the bottom of the rotating disk 6, and two mounting bases 14 are provided at the bottom of the rotating disk 6. Each mounting base 14 has a rotatably mounted bidirectional threaded rod 13. The output shafts of the two second motors 12 are respectively connected to the two bidirectional threaded rods 13. Movable frames 15 are threaded to both ends of each bidirectional threaded rod 13, and the first clamping plate 16 is mounted on each movable frame 15. The second motors 12 drive the bidirectional threaded rods 13 to rotate. Because the threads at both ends of the bidirectional threaded rods 13 have opposite directions, the movable frames 15 at both ends of the bidirectional threaded rods 13 move closer to each other, thereby driving the first clamping plate 16 to move and clamp the chip, thus fixing the chip.
[0031] like Figures 2-5 As shown, the clamping assembly also includes a fixed plate 19, a second cylinder 20, a movable plate 21, and a second clamping plate 22. Two fixed plates 19 are provided on the rotating disk 6, and two second cylinders 20 are mounted on the rotating disk 6. The pistons of the second cylinders 20 are connected to the movable plate 21, and the movable plate 21 is equipped with the second clamping plate 22. The second cylinders 20 push the movable plate 21 to move, causing the second clamping plate 22 to move closer to the chip. In cooperation with the fixed plate 19, clamping forces are applied to the chip from different directions, enhancing the stability of the chip fixation and preventing the chip from shaking or shifting during testing. The first clamping plate 16, the fixed plate 19, and the second clamping plate 22 can completely surround the chip. Combined with the light-shielding cover 27, ambient light can be blocked, creating a darkroom environment to ensure that the test is not interfered with by external light.
[0032] like Figures 4-5As shown, the clamping assembly also includes a first guide rod 17, a first elastic element 18, a second guide rod 23, and a second elastic element 24. The first clamping plate 16 has the first guide rod 17, which is slidably connected to the movable frame 15 via the first guide rod 17. The first elastic element 18 is wrapped around the outside of the first guide rod 17, connecting the first clamping plate 16 and the movable frame 15. The second clamping plate 22 has the second guide rod 23, which is slidably connected to the movable plate 21 via the second guide rod 23. The second elastic element 24 is wrapped around the outside of the second guide rod 23, connecting the second clamping plate 22 and the movable plate 21. The first elastic element 18 acts as a buffer when the first clamping plate 16 clamps the chip, preventing damage to the chip due to excessive clamping force. Similarly, the second elastic element 24 buffers the clamping force of the second clamping plate 22.
[0033] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the rotating assembly includes a first motor 7, a driving gear 8, a driven gear 9, and a support column 10. The first motor 7 is installed inside the frame 1, and the output shaft of the first motor 7 is connected to the driving gear 8. The support column 10 is rotatably mounted inside the frame 1, and the driven gear 9 is located on the outside of the support column 10. The driving gear 8 and the driven gear 9 mesh, and the support column 10 is connected to the rotating disk 6. Driving the driving gear 8 to rotate causes the driven gear 9 to rotate through gear meshing, which in turn drives the support column 10 to rotate. Since the support column 10 is connected to the rotating disk 6, the rotating disk 6 is ultimately rotated, so that after one chip is tested, the next chip to be tested can be quickly rotated to the testing position. At the same time, the support column 10 also serves to support the rotating disk 6.
[0034] like Figure 2 As shown, the rotating assembly also includes pulleys 11. Multiple pulleys 11 are arranged circumferentially on the rotating disk 6, and the frame 1 has grooves adapted to the pulleys 11, with the pulleys 11 slidably connected to the grooves. During the rotation of the rotating disk 6, the pulleys 11 roll within the grooves, providing guidance for the rotating disk 6, reducing friction and shaking during rotation, making the rotation process more stable and smooth, ensuring high stability and low wear during rotation, and extending the equipment's lifespan.
[0035] like Figures 7-9As shown, the system also includes a third cylinder 28, a moving ring 29, a mounting block 30, a connecting rod 32, and a fixing member 33. The third cylinder 28 is mounted on the mounting plate 25, and its piston passes through the mounting plate 25 and connects to the moving ring 29. The mounting block 30 is located at the bottom of the mounting plate 25, and the lighting lamp 31 is rotatably connected to the mounting block 30. The fixing member 33 is located at the bottom of the moving ring 29, and the connecting rod 32 is rotatably mounted on the fixing member 33, connecting to the lighting lamp 31. The third cylinder 28 pushes the moving ring 29, which, via the connecting rod 32, drives the lighting lamp 31 to rotate around the mounting block 30, thereby changing the tilt angle of the lighting lamp 31 and adjusting the direction of the light source illumination to meet the chip illumination requirements in different detection scenarios, ensuring the acquisition of high-quality chip images.
[0036] Multiple illumination lamps 31 are provided and evenly distributed around the optical lens 5. This allows the chip to be illuminated simultaneously from multiple directions, eliminating shadow areas that may be produced by a single light source. This ensures uniform illumination of all parts of the chip surface, resulting in clearer and more complete images of the chip captured by the optical lens 5. This effectively improves imaging quality and facilitates more accurate detection of physical defects on the chip surface.
[0037] The embodiments of the present invention have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention.
