The screw rod 211 is in threaded connection with the fixing plate 232. Rotating the control handle 213 drives the screw rod 211 to rotate, and then drives the fixing plate 232 to move up and down reciprocally. The outer cover 214 plays a protective role, isolating external dust and other impurities, and prolonging the service life of the screw jack 21.
[0052] In this embodiment, the sliding assembly 23 includes: a sliding plate 231 provided on one side of the strut 22, a fixing plate 232 provided on the other side of the strut 22, and a limiting plate 233 provided at the top end of the fixing plate 232 and closely arranged against the fixing plate 232. The test head 4 is provided at the top end of the sliding plate 231. The fixing plate 232 is perpendicularly and fixedly connected to the sliding plate 231. The limiting plate 233 is provided directly above the strut 22. The initial position of the limiting plate 233 is just in contact with the top end of the strut 22. The output end of the screw jack 21 is provided on the fixing plate 232 to drive the fixing plate 232 to move up and down reciprocally, and then drive the entire sliding assembly 23 to move up and down reciprocally. The process is simple to operate and easy to use.
[0053] In this embodiment, the test head 4 includes a limit block 41 disposed close to the side wall of the sliding plate 231 and a positioning groove 42 provided on the limit block 41. The positioning groove 42 completely penetrates the sliding plate 231. The limit block 41 is disposed adjacent to the limit plate 233, and the two do not interfere with each other.

[0056] Of course, the test trolley further includes an adjusting assembly 6 for adjusting the level of the base 1. The adjusting assembly 6 includes connecting members 61 provided on both sides of the base 1, support rods 62 fixedly connected to the connecting members 61, and adjustable feet 63 provided at both ends of the support rods 62.

[0057] In addition, a clamping assembly 7 for clamping the test head 3 is detachably connected to one side of the test head 4. The clamping assembly 7 includes a plurality of fixing blocks 71 respectively abutted against the top end of the column 22, a connecting plate 72 fixedly connected to one end of the fixing block 71, a connecting rod 73 passing through the fixing block 71, a rotating member 74 provided on the connecting plate 72, a clamping arm 75 fixedly connected to the rotating member 74, and an adjusting member 76 provided on one side of the rotating member 74. The end of the locking member 52 abuts against the connecting plate 72. Both ends of the connecting rod 73 extend outward and are respectively inserted into the positioning groove 42. The adjusting member 76 is used to adjust the position of the clamping arm 75, thereby adjusting the position of the test head 3.
[0058] Example 2
[0059] As Figures 6-8 shown, where the same or corresponding components as in Example 1 are labeled with the corresponding reference numerals in Example 1. For simplicity, only the differences from Example 1 will be described below. The differences between this Example 2 and Example 1 are as follows:
[0060] It further includes: a test bracket 8 detachably connected to the clamping assembly 7 and a probe station 9 disposed on one side of the test bracket 8 for testing the performance of the test head 3. The test bracket 8 includes: a base 81, a base 82 disposed on the base 81, and a support arm 83 rotatably connected to one side of the base 82. The connecting rod 73 is detachably connected to the support arm 83, and is fixed between the mounting bracket 831 of the support arm 83 and the connecting rod 73 by a fastener 832.
[0061] Among them, the probe station 9 is an important device for electrically testing semiconductor devices. It can directly perform electrical performance tests on semiconductor chips, integrated circuits, and other microelectronic devices, providing valuable information for research and production. The functions of the probe station 9 include placing electrical probes, optical probes, or radio frequency probes on silicon wafers and cooperating with test instruments or semiconductor test systems to test chips or semiconductor devices, from simple continuity or isolation checks to complex microcircuit function tests.
[0062] The working process of this embodiment is as follows: First, the clamping assembly 7 is installed on the test bracket 8 and then fixed by the fastener 832. Then, the test head 3 is clamped by the clamping assembly 7. The test trolley is moved directly below the clamping assembly 7, and the limiting rod in the clamping assembly 7 is aligned with the positioning groove 42 on the test trolley and inserted. Then, the fastener 832 is loosened, the clamping assembly 7 is detached from the test bracket 8 and installed on the test trolley. Finally, the position of the locking member 52 is adjusted so that its end just abuts against the connecting plate 72. At this time, the handover of the test head 3 is completed.
[0063] Example 3
[0064] As Figure 9 shown, where the same or corresponding components as in Example 1 are labeled with the corresponding reference numerals in Example 1. For simplicity, only the differences from Example 1 will be described below. The differences between this Example 3 and Example 1 are as follows:
[0065] It further includes a sorter 10 for detecting the test head 3. A test carriage installed with the test head 3 clamped by the clamping assembly 7 is arranged below the sorter 10. The carriage is fixed by an adjusting assembly 6 to make the test head 3 stable without shaking. Then, the adjustable feet 63 are adjusted to adjust the levelness of the test head 3, and the control handle 213 is rotated to adjust the vertical position of the test head 3, and the adjusting member 76 is adjusted to adjust the rotation amplitude of the test head 3, so that the test head 3 meets the station requirements of the sorter 10. When the positioning of the test head 3 is completed, the test carriage is moved to transfer the test head 3 to a specified test position, i.e., a specified station, below the sorter 10. The process is simple to operate and convenient to use.
[0066] Among them, the sorter 10 is a device for weight classification and screening of products. Under the action of pneumatic conveying, the material passes through the rotary air lock and the feed hopper and falls on the high-speed rotating distribution plate. Under the action of centrifugal force, the material is fully dispersed and thrown towards the buffer ring. During the falling process, the heavier material, under the action of the cross airflow generated by the rotor, passes through the blades of the adjusting ring and slides into the coarse material collector of the separator for collection, and then is discharged through the rotary air lock.
[0067] Meanwhile, the lifting test carriage is located directly below the stress point of the sorter 10. Due to the existence of the adjustable feet 63, the distance between the support point and the center of gravity is small, the moment is smaller, and the stress is better, so as to achieve a more stable support effect and enable the test head 3 to work normally on the sorter 10.
[0068] The working process of this embodiment is as follows: First, the clamping assembly 7 clamping the test head 3 is installed on the test carriage, then the test bracket 8 is disassembled and removed, and then the carriage is pushed. The vertical position of the test head 3 is adjusted by manually adjusting the control handle 213 of the screw jack 21 according to the actual requirements of the sorter 10, and finally it is transferred to the specified station below the sorter 10.
[0069] The above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention shall be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
