Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of test probes, in particular to a chip test probe assembly. Background Art
[0002] Test needles, also known as probes in the industry, are divided into spring needles (special needles) and universal needles when used for PCB board testing. When using spring needles, a test mold needs to be made according to the wiring situation of the PCB board being tested, and generally, one mold can only test one type of PCB board; when using universal needles, it is only necessary to have enough points, so many manufacturers now use universal needles; spring needles are divided into PCB board probes, ICT probes, and BGA probes according to their usage. PCB board probes are mainly used for PCB board testing, ICT probes are mainly used for online testing after plug-in, and BGA probes are mainly used for BGA packaging testing and chip testing, and usually for testing already packaged chips.
[0003] A semiconductor chip test probe (publication number: CN219799562U) has at least the following disadvantages: the above-mentioned device fixes the probe shaft and the probe tube by using two semicircular rubber blocks to connect with the probe shaft through interference fit. However, the reliability of the connection method using the rubber block and the probe shaft through interference fit is difficult to guarantee. It is easy for the end of the probe shaft to not be pushed to fit with the moving rod during installation, resulting in poor contact between the probe shaft and the probe tube, affecting the flow of current and affecting detection. In addition, the fatigue resistance of the rubber block is limited. After repeated compression and use, the elasticity of the rubber block is easily reduced, resulting in poor contact between the probe shaft and the probe tube or even the falling off of the probe shaft. For this reason, the present utility model is proposed. Utility Model Content

[0023] In this embodiment, a locking frame 203 is provided at the bottom end of the probe tube 1, and the bottom end of the probe shaft 101 is in conflict with the inner bottom surface of the locking frame 203. The left and right ends of the locking frame 203 are respectively slidably arranged with the two sliding grooves 2. The linkage block 202 is located inside the locking frame 203. A first spring 204 is provided between the top surface of the locking frame 203 and the inner top surface of the probe tube 1. The first spring 204 is movably sleeved with the outer wall of the probe shaft 101. The maximum distance between the two linkage blocks 202 is less than the diameter of the first spring 204. A second spring 205 is provided between the bottom surface of the locking frame 203 and the inner bottom surface of the probe tube 1. By arranging the first spring 20 4 and the second spring 205. The second spring 205 can make the probe shaft 101 flexibly contact with the chip during the contact test between the probe shaft 101 and the chip. The first spring 204 can limit the direction of the probe shaft 101 toward the opening of the probe tube 1, and utilize the cooperation of the locking frame 203 and the linkage block 202. Only when the locking frame 203 and the linkage block 202 overcome the elastic force of the first spring 204 and move to the unlocking groove 201, and then rotate the probe shaft 101 so that the linkage block 202 enters the unlocking groove 201, can the disassembly of the probe shaft 101 be completed, while ensuring the contact between the probe shaft 101 and the probe tube 1, ensuring the passage of current, and ensuring the reliability of the device.
[0024] In this embodiment, a top block 3 is fixed to the top surface of the second spring 205. The top block 3 is a semicircular structure, and the bottom surface of the locking frame 203 is a sloped structure. The top block 3 conflicts with the bottom slope of the locking frame 203. By setting the top block 3 to conflict with the bottom slope of the locking frame 203, when the second spring 205 drives the top block 3 to push the locking frame 203, the locking frame 203 drives the probe shaft 101 to tilt to one side, so that the locking frame 203 drives the probe shaft 101 to always fit with the inner wall of the probe tube 1, ensuring the normal flow of current during testing.
[0025] In this embodiment, a pulling groove 4 is provided on the outer wall of the probe shaft 101 . The provision and use of the pulling groove 4 facilitates the staff to better pull and rotate the probe shaft 101 , thereby disassembling the probe shaft 101 .

[0028] From the above description, it can be seen that the above embodiment of the present invention achieves the following technical effects: in use, the test product is tested by driving the probe. At this time, when the probe shaft 101 contacts the chip for testing, the probe shaft 101 drives the locking frame 203 to compress the second spring 205, so that the probe shaft 101 is in flexible contact with the chip. At this time, the top block 3 conflicts with the bottom inclined surface of the locking frame 203 during the process, so that when the second spring 205 drives the top block 3 to push the locking frame 203, the locking frame 203 drives the probe shaft 101 to tilt to one side, so that the locking frame 203 is The movable probe shaft 101 always fits with the inner wall of the probe tube 1 to ensure the normal flow of current during testing. When the probe shaft 101 needs to be disassembled and cleaned, the fingers or tools are buckled into the pulling groove 4, and then the probe shaft 101 is pulled. At this time, the linkage block 202 and the locking frame 203 slide inside the sliding groove 2. When the linkage block 202 and the locking frame 203 move to the unlocking groove 201, the probe shaft 101 is rotated to make the linkage block 202 enter the unlocking groove 201. At this time, the linkage block 202 is disengaged from the locking frame 203. At this time, the probe shaft 101 can be disassembled by pulling the probe shaft 101 again.
