Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of semiconductor chip testing, and particularly refers to a quick-change docking mechanism for a test head of a semiconductor testing device. Background Art

[0002] A semiconductor chip refers to a semiconductor device that can achieve a certain function by etching and wiring on a semiconductor sheet. With the development of technology, semiconductor chips have been widely used in various electronic products. After a large number of semiconductor chips are completed, it is necessary to test the quality of the chips to screen qualified chips. Therefore, semiconductors are needed. The existing chip handling and testing mechanism mainly includes two parts, one is the positioning seat lower cover mechanism, and the other is the suction head light source upper cover mechanism. However, the installation method of the suction head light source upper cover mechanism on the existing equipment is fixed by screw tightening, which is a dead positioning without floating and adjustment, making the position adjustment difficult, and the guiding mechanism wears out quickly. Moreover, the existing suction head light source upper cover mechanism of the equipment does not have a quick-change function and a centering function, resulting in poor equipment compatibility and large installation and positioning difficulty, which not only reduces the utilization rate of the equipment, but also requires a high precision for the processed parts, increasing the input cost.

[0019] Preferably, each of the two sets of the plug components 7 includes a connecting member 71 disposed on a section of the output end of the driving cylinder 21 between the two long strips 3, a first driving rod 72 having one end disposed on the connecting member 71 and the other end passing through the mounting plate 11 to the top, a long strip plate 73 placed along the width direction of the mounting plate 11 at one end of the first driving rod 72 located at the top of the mounting plate 11, two guide rods disposed on the mounting plate 11, a first driving plate 74 sleeved at both ends on the two guide rods and placed along the width direction of the mounting plate 11, two connecting plates 75 disposed at both ends of the long strip plate 73 and the first driving plate 74 and having both ends hinged to the end faces of both ends of the long strip plate 73 and the first driving plate 74 respectively, two support plates 76 having one end disposed between the long strip plate 73 and the first driving plate 74 at the top of the mounting plate 11 and the other end hinged to the two connecting plates 75 respectively, and a plurality of first plug rods 77 having one end disposed on the surface of the first driving plate 74 facing the mounting plate 11 and the other end passing through the mounting plate 11 for inserting into the fixing block 5; the quick fixing component 8 includes a cavity 81 disposed in the fixing block 5 and passing through both end faces of the fixing block 5, two extension blocks 82 disposed at the bottoms of both ends of the fixing block 5, a second driving plate 83 liftably disposed in the cavity 81 and having both ends extending to the top surfaces of the two extension blocks 82, two second driving rods 84 having one end respectively disposed on the top surfaces of both ends of the second driving plate 83 and the other end passing through the inner bottom of the slot 6, a butt plate 85 disposed on one end of each of the two second driving rods 84 located in the slot 6 for the clamping block 22 to insert into and having a hollow top with an avoidance opening for avoiding the output end of the driving cylinder 21, two limiting plates 86 telescopically disposed on the end faces of both ends of the two extension blocks 82 and having their tops connected to the side faces of both ends of the second driving plate 83 to form a U shape, and a plurality of second plug rods 87 disposed on the surface of the horizontal end of each of the two limiting plates 86 facing the bottom surface of the fixing block 5 for inserting into the fixing holes at both ends of the suction head light source upper cover 9.

[0020] Further, the plurality of second plug rods 87 are threadedly connected to one end passing through the horizontal ends of the two limiting plates 86, which is convenient for adjusting the length to prevent jamming of the suction head light source upper cover 9.

[0021] During use: The upper cover 9 of the suction head light source is installed and docked with an external device by rotating the driving platform 1. According to the angle of the whole component, the position and direction of the upper cover 9 of the suction head light source are finely adjusted by the rotating driving platform 1 to align the direction before work. During testing, the device drives the upper cover 9 of the suction head light source to move downward so that the upper cover 9 of the suction head light source is docked with the lower cover 10 of the positioning seat. When replacing the upper cover 9 of the suction head light source of the same size, the driving cylinder 21 is controlled by an external controller. The driving cylinder 21 drives the clamping block 22 to move towards the fixed block 5, and the connecting piece 71 and the docking plate 85 move towards the fixed block 5. Then the connecting piece 71 drives the first driving rod 72 to move towards the fixed block 5. The first driving rod 72 drives the long strip plate 73 to move towards the mounting plate 11. The long strip plate 73 drives one end of the connecting plate 75 to move towards the mounting plate 11. Since the middle part of the support plate 76 is hinged to the connecting plate 75, the other part of the connecting plate 75 tilts up due to the principle of the lever and drives the first driving plate 74 to rise. The first driving plate 74 drives the first pin rod 77 to disengage from the fixed block 5. Immediately, the fixed block 5 is no longer limited. At the same time, the docking plate 85 drives the second driving rod 84 to move towards the inner cavity 81. The second driving rod 84 drives the second driving plate 83 to move towards the bottom of the inner cavity 81. The second driving plate 83 drives the horizontal movement of the limiting plate 86 away from the fixed block 5. Immediately, the upper cover 9 of the suction head light source is loosened. Then the upper cover 9 of the suction head light source is removed, and the upper cover 9 of the suction head light source of the same size is replaced. Then the reset cylinder limits and fixes the upper cover 9 of the suction head light source again. When it is necessary to replace the upper cover 9 of the suction head light source of different sizes, the fixed block 5 is slid out of the chute 4. Immediately, the docking plate 85 also slides out of the clamping block 22. Then the open end of the slot 6 of the new fixed block 5 is aligned with the output end of the driving cylinder 21. Then the fixed block 5 is slid into the chute 4. The docking plate 85 slides along while sliding. When the fixed block 5 slides in place, the docking plate 85 just fits over the clamping block 22. Then the driving cylinder 21 is reset to fix the fixed block 5 and the upper cover 9 of the suction head light source.

[0022] The above is only a specific application example of the present invention, which does not constitute any limitation to the protection scope of the present invention. Any technical solutions formed by equivalent transformation or equivalent substitution fall within the scope of the protection of the rights of the present invention.
