Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of semiconductors, and specifically, to a test fixture for a photometric integrating sphere. Background Art

[0002] Equipment for testing the luminous flux of LEDs usually uses an integrating sphere tester for optoelectronic testing. Conventional integrating sphere testing is usually customized specifically according to the size differences of the package brackets, and during testing, only the packaged samples of individual LED chips can be sequentially placed into the integrating sphere through the package brackets for testing. After the testing is completed, the package brackets need to be taken out of the integrating sphere and new packaged samples need to be replaced to repeat the above operations for testing.

[0003] After retrieval, it is found that the application number is CN202321252548.6 and the name is an integrating sphere test fixture. This application points out that when testing a large number of packaged samples, it is very cumbersome and time-consuming to pick and place the packaged samples multiple times, and it is easy to mix up the test order of the packaged samples, resulting in problems in testing. If a large packaging bracket is made to place multiple packaged samples, a new integrating sphere test device needs to be customized so that its inlet size can accommodate the large packaging bracket, and the cost of customizing the integrating sphere test device is very high. By setting multiple detection slots on the support plate, the fixture can place multiple packaged samples, and then the drive assembly drives the support plate to rotate relative to the control rod, so that the volume of the fixture changes. Without changing the size of the integrating sphere test device, multiple packaged samples can be placed in the integrating sphere. Specifically, the packaged samples are arranged in the detection slots, and the support plate is parallel to the control rod. At this time, the volume of the fixture is small. Then, the entire support plate and a part of the control rod are extended into the integrating sphere, and the drive assembly is controlled to drive the support plate to rotate relative to the control rod, so that the support plate and the control rod are perpendicular to each other, and the detection slots face the direction of the integrating sphere. Then, the power supply of each detection slot is controlled in sequence through the button to detect the packaged samples on the fixture in sequence. The utility model solves the problem in the prior art that there is a lack of an integrating sphere detection fixture that can carry multiple packaged samples into the integrating sphere test device for testing without changing the integrating sphere test device. However, during the actual test of the integrating sphere, three through holes are often opened on the surface of the integrating sphere, two of which are used to install the incident light source, and the other is used to install the receiving device. The fixture used for carrying and installing is often installed inside the integrating sphere to avoid the integrating sphere affecting the spherical structure of the inner wall of the integrating sphere. Therefore, this application needs to open an inlet, which changes the structure of the integrating sphere, easily causes problems with the reflection on the inner wall of the integrating sphere, and affects the stability of the test. At the same time, unplugging and installing the packaging bracket is not more convenient than opening the integrating sphere for installation. At the same time, since the packaged samples in this application cannot be adjusted in position, it is necessary for the staff to frequently adjust the incident light position, which instead increases the number of steps in use and is more troublesome. At the same time, it is also necessary for the staff to frequently switch the switch, and the degree of automation is low. The convenience of use can be further improved.

[0004] In response to the problems in the related art, no effective solution has been proposed yet. Summary of the Utility Model

[0028] To further illustrate each embodiment, the present utility model provides accompanying drawings, which are part of the disclosure of the present utility model. They are mainly used to illustrate the embodiments and can be combined with the relevant descriptions in the specification to explain the operating principle of the embodiments.

The components in the figures are not drawn to scale, and similar component symbols are usually used to represent similar components.

[0029] According to an embodiment of the present utility model, a test fixture for a photometric integrating sphere is provided.

[0030] Now, the present utility model will be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners. As Figures 1-4 shown, a test fixture for a photometric integrating sphere according to an embodiment of the present utility model includes a base box 1 and a rotating column 2. The top surface of the base box 1 is rotatably connected through the rotating column 2, and a rotating disk 7 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the rotating column 2. A test slot 8 is formed on the top surface of the rotating disk 7. A bottom slot 9 is formed inside the rotating disk 7 below the test slot 8, and a power receiving coil 10 is installed inside the bottom slot 9. An outer shell 12 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the base box 1. The base box 1 is fixedly connected to the inside of the photometric integrating sphere, and a power sending coil 13 is fixedly installed inside the outer shell 12. A driven gear 4 is fixedly sleeved on the outer surface of the rotating column 2. A stepping motor 5 is fixedly installed inside the base box 1, and a driving gear 6 is installed at the output end of the stepping motor 5. The driving gear 6 meshes with the driven gear 4. A wiring terminal 11 is fixedly installed on the inner bottom surface of the test slot 8, and the input end of the wiring terminal 11 is electrically connected to the output end of the power receiving coil 10, which is a common wiring structure. When testing the encapsulated sample, the encapsulated sample can be placed into the test slot 8 to complete the electrical connection with the wiring terminal 11. Subsequently, adjust the light incident position of the photometric integrating sphere to make the incident light align with the encapsulated sample inside the test slot 8 directly above the outer shell 12, and then the test can be started. During the test, the stepping motor 5 drives the driving gear 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 4 to rotate, and then drives the rotating column 2 and the rotating disk 7 to rotate in place, so that the encapsulated sample automatically aligns with the incident light when rotating and switching, improving the accuracy of detection and thus improving the convenience of use. At the same time, during the detection, a current is passed through the power sending coil 13 through a conversion circuit to generate magnetic flux. When the rotating disk 7 rotates to the position where the power receiving coil 10 is directly above the power sending coil 13, the power receiving coil 10 receives the magnetic flux and generates a current, which is transmitted to the encapsulated sample through the wiring terminal 11 to complete automatic wireless power supply, eliminating the trouble of the staff switching the power supply switch, improving the automation level and work efficiency, greatly facilitating the rotational power supply and automatic connection of the encapsulated sample, and significantly improving the work efficiency.

[0031] In one embodiment, the base box 1 and the rotating disk 7 are coaxially arranged, and the base box 1 and the rotating disk 7 have the same diameter, which is convenient for the installation of the outer shell 12 and the power sending coil 13.

[0032] In one embodiment, a plurality of test slots 8 are equiangularly distributed along the vertical central axis of the rotating disk 7, and the connecting line of the centers of the test slots 8 intersects the vertical central axis of the power transmission coil 13 perpendicularly, ensuring that the power receiving coil 10 can be rotated directly above the power transmission coil 13.

[0033] In one embodiment, the bottom surface of the rotating column 2 is rotatably connected to the inner bottom surface of the base box 1 through a rotary connecting seat 3, and the rotating column 2 and the rotating disk 7 are coaxially arranged, improving the rotational stability of the rotating column 2.

[0034] In one embodiment, the power transmission coil 13 is electrically connected to an external power supply through a conversion circuit, and the power transmission coil 13 and the power receiving coil 10 are used in combination, which is a common wireless power supply structure and will not be elaborated here.

[0035] In one embodiment, the rotating disk 7 is made of plastic, and a diffuse reflection layer is sprayed on the outer surface of the rotating disk 7. The material of the diffuse reflection layer is the same as that of the diffuse reflection layer on the inner wall of the photometric integrating sphere, avoiding affecting the diffuse reflection efficiency of the photometric integrating sphere.

[0036] In one embodiment, the outer shell 12 is made of plastic to avoid affecting the passage of magnetic flux, and diffuse reflection layers are sprayed on the outer surfaces of both the outer shell 12 and the base box 1.

[0037] In one embodiment, the stepping angle of the stepping motor 5 is the same as the included angle between the test slots 8, facilitating positioning and rotation.

[0038] Working principle:

[0039] When performing the encapsulation sample test, the encapsulation sample can be placed in the test slot 8 to complete the electrical connection with the wiring terminal 11. Subsequently, the light incident position of the photometric integrating sphere is adjusted so that the incident light is aligned with the encapsulation sample inside the test slot 8 directly above the outer shell 12, and then the test can be started. During the test, the stepping motor 5 drives the driving gear 6 to rotate, which in turn drives the driven gear 4 to rotate, and then drives the rotating column 2 and the rotating disk 7 to rotate and position, enabling the encapsulation sample to automatically align with the incident light during the rotation and switching, improving the detection accuracy, and thus improving the convenience of use. At the same time, during the detection, a current is passed through the power transmission coil 13 through the conversion circuit to generate magnetic flux. When the rotating disk 7 rotates to make the power receiving coil 10 located directly above the power transmission coil 13, the power receiving coil 10 receives the magnetic flux and generates a current, which is transmitted to the encapsulation sample through the wiring terminal 11 to complete automatic wireless power supply, eliminating the trouble of the staff switching the power supply switch, improving the automation level and work efficiency, greatly facilitating the rotary power supply and automatic connection of the encapsulation sample, and significantly improving the work efficiency.
