[0015] 1. This invention uses a surrounding positioning component, which cooperates with multiple reinforcing blocks and a surrounding plate.

[0027] The technical solution of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0028] In this plan, reference is made to Figure 1 - Figure 2 The illustrated docking device for semiconductor testing includes multiple positioning posts 1, with multiple limiting plates 2 fixed in the gaps formed by the multiple positioning posts 1; a surrounding positioning element is provided above the limiting plate 2, which is used for surrounding positioning of the outer wall of the optical communication semiconductor device; a primary docking element is installed on one side of the limiting plate 2, and an upper lifting plate 3 and a slot block 21 are installed on the primary docking element; a secondary docking element is installed on the inner wall of the slot block 21, and two spaced rows 4 are provided on the secondary docking element.

[0029] The principle of this technology is to position the outer wall of the optical communication semiconductor device around the positioning component, while the primary docking component is used to achieve a primary lifting docking installation position for the optical communication semiconductor device, and the secondary docking component is used to achieve a secondary lifting docking installation position for the optical communication semiconductor device.

[0030] In this plan, reference is made to Figure 1 - Figure 3As shown, the surrounding positioning components include: multiple reinforcing blocks 5, all positioned above the limiting plate 2, with each reinforcing block 5 fixedly connected to a corresponding positioning post 1; a surrounding plate 6, fixedly surrounding the multiple reinforcing blocks 5, with multiple positioning holes 7 embedded on one side of each surrounding plate 6; a fixing post 8 fixedly connected to the top of each positioning post 1, with a support block 9 fixedly installed at the top of the fixing post 8; a top plate 12 fixedly installed on the top of the support block 9, with a central hole 13 on the upper surface of the top plate 12, and side holes 14 on both sides of the central hole 13; and an outer plate 11 fixedly installed at the bottom of the positioning post 1, with a groove 10 on the inner wall of each limiting plate 2. The multiple reinforcing blocks 5 are arranged in a rectangular distribution, with right angles between adjacent surrounding plates 6. The two side holes 14 are symmetrically arranged about the central hole 13, with the cross-sectional area of ​​the central hole 13 being larger than that of the side holes 14, and the inner walls of both the central hole 13 and the side holes 14 being rounded.

[0031] The principle of this technology is to place the optical communication semiconductor device within multiple surrounding plates 6, while the outer plate 11 supports the lower surface of the optical communication semiconductor device. The outer plate 11 supports the positioning post 1, the positioning post 1 supports the reinforcing block 5, the reinforcing block 5 supports the surrounding plate 6, and the multiple positioning holes 7 on the surrounding plate 6 realize the peripheral positioning operation of the optical communication semiconductor device. At the same time, the positioning post 1 supports the fixing post 8, the fixing post 8 supports the support block 9, the support block 9 supports the top plate 12, and the side holes 14 and the central hole 13 on the top plate 12 can facilitate the threading and docking operations of the top of the optical communication semiconductor device.

[0032] In this plan, reference is made to Figure 4 - Figure 6 As shown, the primary docking component includes a guide frame 15, a socket block 16, a linkage bar 17, a guide rod 18, a linkage block 19, and multiple lower docking holes 20. The guide frame 15 is fixedly installed on one side of the limiting plate 2, and the socket block 16 slides on the inner wall of the guide frame 15. The linkage bar 17 is fixedly connected to one side of the socket block 16, and the guide rod 18 slides through the inner wall of the socket block 16, with the guide rod 18 fixedly connected to the guide frame 15. The other side of the socket block 16 is fixedly equipped with a linkage block 19, which is fixedly connected to the slot block 21 and the upper lifting plate 3. Multiple lower docking holes 20 are all opened on the inner wall of the upper lifting plate 3. The guide frame 15 and the socket block 16 are slidably connected, and the cross-sectional shape of the guide rod 18 is circular. The linkage block 19 is vertically arranged with the socket block 16, and the slot block 21 is fixedly connected to the upper lifting plate 3. Bolts are inserted into the positioning holes 7 to perform docking and installation operations on the external optical module of the optical communication semiconductor device.

[0033] The principle of this technology is that the linkage bar 17 is raised simultaneously, which drives the two socket blocks 16 to move upward and the limiting plate 2 supports the guide frame 15. This allows the socket blocks 16 to move upward along the outer wall of the guide rod 18. At the same time, the socket blocks 16 drive the linkage block 19 to move upward, which causes the slot block 21 to move upward. The linkage block 19 also drives the lifting plate 3 to move upward, which in turn drives multiple lower holes 20 to move upward. When the upper surface of the socket block 16 is limited by the top position of the inner wall of the guide frame 15, the height of the socket block 16 is limited. The socket block 16 drives the linkage block 19 to be limited in height, and the linkage block 19 drives the lifting plate 3 to be limited in height. The multiple lower holes 20 on the lifting plate 3 can achieve primary positioning and docking installation of the outer periphery of the optical communication semiconductor device. In this way, the light is positioned and docked through the lower holes 20.

[0034] In this plan, reference is made to Figure 6 - Figure 8 As shown, the secondary docking component includes a lifting column 22, a limiting sleeve 23, a limiting block 24, a connecting strip 25, multiple mounting holes 26, and two support rods 27. The lifting column 22 is slidably installed on the inner wall of the groove block 21, the limiting sleeve 23 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the lifting column 22, and the bottom end of the lifting column 22 is fixedly connected to the limiting block 24. The connecting strip 25 is fixedly connected to one side of the limiting block 24. The lifting column 22 is fixedly connected to another spacer 4, and the multiple mounting holes 26 are all opened on the inner wall of the spacer 4. The two support rods 27 are fixedly installed between two adjacent spacer 4. The top cross-sectional area of ​​the lower hole 20 is larger than the bottom cross-sectional area of ​​the lifting column 22. The limiting sleeve 23 abuts against the groove block 21. The support rods 27 are vertically arranged between the spacer 4, and there is a gap between the two support rods 27.

[0035] The principle of this technology is as follows: when the slot block 21 is lifted, the slot block 21 can drive the limiting sleeve 23 to move upward. The limiting sleeve 23 drives the lifting column 22 to move upward. The lifting column 22 drives one of the interval rows 4 to move upward. The interval row 4 drives two support rods 27 to move upward. At the same time, the support rods 27 drive the interval row 4 to move upward. Then the connecting strip 25 is lifted. The connecting strip 25 drives the limiting block 24 to continue to move upward in a second stage. The limiting block 24 drives the lifting column 22 to move upward. The upper surface of the limiting block 24 is limited by the lower surface of the slot block 21. At the same time, the lifting column 22 drives the limiting sleeve 23 to move upward. Simultaneously, the limiting sleeve 23 separates from the slot block 21. The lifting column 22 drives the limiting block 24 to move upward. At the same time, the lifting column 22 causes one of the interval rows 4 to move upward. The interval row 4 drives two support rods 27 to move upward. The support rods 27 drive the interval row 4 to move upward. The multiple mounting holes 26 on the interval row 4 move upward. The four tester kits are positioned and fixed above the optical communication semiconductor device by bolts inserted into multiple mounting holes 26. This allows for the sequential installation of the four tester kits onto four different optical communication semiconductor device fixing modules, enabling simultaneous installation and fixation of all four tester kits onto the ProCard. The docking device kit also provides cable management capabilities, organizing previously scattered and messy cables into a cable management system that avoids wear and bending during installation and removal. The docking device kit employs modular assembly, high-precision adjustment, and strict anti-static protection. Each component, including the test kit and light source bracket, can be independently installed and replaced. The screw tightening torque is strict, ensuring a secure fit without damaging the parts.

[0036] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not constitute any limitation on the present invention. Modifications, equivalent substitutions, etc., made within the scope of the technical solution of the present invention should all fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
