Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of probe card processing, in particular to a probe card grinding needle flipping device. Background Art

[0002] Probe card grinding is a critical maintenance task in semiconductor test equipment. Probe cards are tools used to test semiconductor chips, and the probes on them must maintain good contact performance to ensure test accuracy and efficiency. Over time, the probes may become worn, contaminated, or damaged, affecting test results. Therefore, regular probe card grinding is necessary. This operation typically requires specialized equipment and tools, performed according to specific technical specifications, to restore the probes' sharpness and cleanliness. Proper grinding can extend the life of the probe card, improve test efficiency, and reduce testing costs.

[0003] At present, it is necessary to grind the probe of the probe card during processing, but the existing probe card grinding machine has no flipping mechanism and is flipped manually, which is inefficient and difficult to meet the high-efficiency processing requirements of enterprises. Based on these problems, Chinese patent CN220408219U discloses a flipping table for probe card grinding, wherein a straight plate and two side plates are fixed on the workbench, a groove is opened on the side of the straight plate, and the side wall of the groove is connected to a limit block by a hydraulic cylinder, a movable plate is fixed on the side of the limit block, a grinding mechanism is provided on the movable plate, a flipping table is provided between the two side plates and a first bearing is fixed on the inner side of the flipping table, a circular groove is opened on the flipping table and a fixing mechanism is provided, a first rotating shaft and a second rotating shaft are fixed on both sides, the first rotating shaft and the second rotating shaft are both connected to the first bearing and a gear is fixed on the side of the first rotating shaft; a telescopic cylinder is installed on the workbench, and its telescopic rod is connected to the moving rod, and a plurality of racks meshing with the moving rod are fixed on the side close to the gear; using the flipping table, the flipping table can be automatically flipped, which meets the high-efficiency grinding requirements of enterprises.

[0004] The device uses an arc-shaped clamp to fix the probe card. Since there is no supporting structure under the fixed probe card, when the grinding disc is grinding the surface of the probe card, the hydraulic cylinder drives the grinding disc to exert a downward squeezing force on the probe card. This not only increases the clamping burden of the arc-shaped clamp, but also affects the stability of the probe card fixing structure. Utility Model Content
