[0034] Reference Figures 1 to 10The design principle of the present invention is as follows: the chip to be tested is placed on the front side of the four-axis robot 2, and the four-axis robot 2 grabs the chip to the top of the first camera 4 to detect the chip bottom pad and the chip grabbing angle. If there is a deviation in the chip grabbing angle, the four-axis robot 2 can directly adjust it, and then grab the chip to the chip placement fixture 12, the indexing plate 3 rotates 90 degrees, and the first material picking manipulator device 8 grabs the chip to the top of the second camera 5 to detect the flatness of the chip bottom. After the detection is completed, the first picking manipulator device 8 is used to pick up the chip. The material robot device 8 then places the chip on the chip placement fixture 12, and then the dividing plate 3 continues to rotate 90°. The second material picking robot device 9 grabs the chip to the four side detection positions, and the four third cameras 6 respectively detect the four sides of the chip. After the detection is completed, the second material picking robot device 9 places the chip on the chip placement fixture 12, and then the dividing plate 3 continues to rotate 90°. The fourth camera 7 detects the top surface of the chip, thereby completing all detections of the six sides of the chip, and then the dividing plate 3 continues to rotate 90°. The first placement space is provided with collection frames 18 stacked up and down, and the top surface of each collection frame 18 is provided with a corresponding QR code, and the top surface of each chip is also provided with a corresponding QR code. The QR code on the collection frame 18 is bound to the QR code on the chip in the same system, and the first lifting seat 28 descends so that the collection frame 18 contacts the left conveyor belt 16 and the right conveyor belt 17. After the first intercepting rod 27 descends, the collection frame 18 flows to the second station 24. At this time, the second intercepting rod 29 rises, the left baffle 30 moves to the right, and the front baffle 31 moves backward and rises, thereby fixing the mobile phone frame 18 on the second station 24. After the six sides of the chip are inspected, the four-axis robot 2 will grab the chip with at least one side that fails the inspection and put it on the NG tray 11. The four-axis robot 2 will grab the chip that passes the inspection and put it on the collection frame 18. The four-axis robot 2 is provided with a code reader 52. When the four-axis robot 2 initially grabs the chip, it reads The encoder 52 reads the QR code on the chip at the same time. Before the four-axis robot 2 places the qualified chips on the collection frame 18, it will read the QR code of the collection frame 18. If the QR code of the collection frame 18 is not associated with the QR code on the detected chip, the second intercepting rod 29 rises, the left baffle 30 moves to the right, the front baffle 31 is reset, the intercepting seat 32 rises, and the third lifting seat 33 rises to lift the collection frame 18 to the third placement space for manual removal. If the QR code of the collection frame 18 is associated with the QR code on the detected chip, the collection frame 18 on the second workstation is in a fixed state, and the four-axis robot 2 places the qualified chips on the chip placement slot 181 of the collection frame 18 until the collection frame 18 is full. After the collection frame 18 is full of qualified chips, the third intercepting rod 35 rises, and the collection frame 18 flows directly to the fourth workstation, and then the fourth lifting seat 36 lifts the collection frame 18 full of chips to the fourth placement space for manual removal.It should be noted that the control methods of all the above actions are well known to those skilled in the art and will not be described in detail here.

[0035] The above is only a specific implementation method of the present invention, but the design concept of the present invention is not limited to this. Any non-substantial changes to the present invention using this concept shall be deemed as an infringement of the protection scope of the present invention.
