[0027] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of the embodiments of the present utility model clearer, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present utility model. Apparently, the described embodiments are some but not all of the embodiments of the present utility model. Embodiment

[0028] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, a test socket for solving the surface indentation of a chip includes a base, a fixed claw 1, a normally closed reset mechanism, and an unlocking mechanism; a placement groove for placing the chip is provided on the base, and two fixed claws 1 are symmetrically arranged on the base rotatably around a rotating shaft with the placement groove as the center. The fixed claw 1 includes a pressing arm 2 and an operating end 3 in contact with the unlocking mechanism. The end of the pressing arm 2 is rotatably provided with a pressing plate 21 through a rotating shaft. The rotating shaft at the end of the pressing arm 2 is parallel to the rotating shaft of the fixed claw 1. The pressing plate 21 includes a bottom plate 2101 and side plates 2102 located on both sides of the bottom plate 2101. The bottom plate 2101 is axially free around the rotating shaft at the end of the pressing arm 2 with the side plates 2102 as the rotating arms.

[0029] By providing the pressing plate 21 at the end of the pressing arm 2 of the fixed claw 1, the line contact between the fixed claw 1 and the chip in the prior art is changed to the surface contact between the pressing plate 21 and the chip, increasing the contact area and effectively avoiding damaging the chip or forming linear indentations on the surface of the chip.

[0030] One end of the side plate 2102 close to the pressing arm 2 is set to be arc-shaped, and the side plate 2102 is inclined from the bottom plate 2101 towards the pressing arm 2 with the bottom plate 2101 as the reference plate, and the arc-shaped end of the side plate 2102 extends out of the projection area above the bottom plate 2101.

[0031] Since the arc-shaped end of the side plate 2102 extends out of the projection area above the bottom plate 2101, the center of gravity of the pressing plate 21 and the perpendicular line of the rotation axis of the pressing plate 21 are not on the same straight line. Therefore, under the action of gravity, the bottom plate 2101 of the pressing plate 21 will automatically deflect towards the direction of the fixed claw 1.

[0032] A shaft hole is provided through the side plate 2102, and a pressing shaft hole parallel to the rotation shaft of the fixed claw 1 is provided through the end of the pressing arm 2. The side plate 2102 of the pressing plate 21 and the end of the pressing arm 2 are rotationally connected by a rotating shaft through the shaft hole and the pressing shaft hole.

[0033] The flipping process of the fixed claw 1 has at least two actions.

[0034] Action 1: The bottom plate 2101 of the pressing plate 21 of the fixed claw 1 abuts against the edge of the fixed chip.

[0035] Action 2: The bottom plate 2101 of the pressing plate 21 of the fixed claw 1 moves away from the projection range of the chip circumference in the vertical direction so that the chip can be taken out.

[0036] The normally closed reset mechanism includes an elastic member connected to the unlocking mechanism, which is used to make the fixed claw 1 achieve Action 1.

[0037] The unlocking mechanism is linked with the operating end 3 of the fixed claw 1 and is used to change the elastic force of the elastic member so that the fixed claw 1 achieves Action 2.

[0038] A resistance increasing structure 4 is provided on one side of the bottom plate 2101 close to the placement groove.

[0039] The resistance increasing structure 4 is a grid groove provided on the bottom surface of the bottom plate 2101, convex points arranged in a matrix, or a flexible material layer.

[0040] The resistance increasing structure 4 is used to increase the friction force between the bottom plate 2101 of the pressing plate 21 and the chip. Embodiment

[0041] As Figures 1 to 5 shown, as a preferred solution of Embodiment 1, deflection notches 22 are provided on both sides of the end of the pressing arm 2, and the side plates 2102 on both sides of the bottom plate 2101 of the pressing plate 21 are respectively located at the corresponding deflection notches 22, and the length of the pressing plate 21 is greater than or equal to the width of the pressing arm 2. Embodiment

[0042] As Figure 5 shown, as a preferred solution of Embodiment 1 or 2,

[0043] A limiting structure 23 is integrally formed at the end of the pressing arm 2. The limiting structure 23 is a rib 2301 disposed on the side of the pressing shaft hole close to the pressing plate 21. A rotating concave surface 2302 that is recessed toward the body of the pressing arm 2 for avoiding the movement path of the bottom plate 2101 is provided on the side of the rib 2301 close to the bottom plate 2101, and a limiting plane 2303 that is connected to the rotating concave surface 2302 and is used to block the movement of the bottom plate 2101.

[0044] The rotating concave surface 2302 is used to ensure the smooth rotation of the pressing plate 21 around the pressing shaft hole. When the bottom plate 2101 of the pressing plate 21 rotates downward to the rotating concave surface 2302, its movement path is within the concave area of the rotating concave surface 2302 and will not be blocked by the body of the pressing arm 21. The cooperation between the limiting plane 2303 and the plane of the bottom plate 2101 of the pressing plate 21 can limit the rotation range of the pressing plate 21. When the bottom plate 2101 of the pressing plate 21 rotates upward to be in contact with the limiting plane 2303, the pressing plate 21 is blocked by the limiting plane 2303 and stops rotating.

[0045] Finally, it should be noted that the above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention, rather than to limit them; although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those of ordinary skill in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements on some or all of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements do not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present invention.
