Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field related to testing of semiconductor package substrates, and in particular to a small-pitch ABF carrier board testing fixture. Background Art

[0002] With the development of the electronics industry, the demand for high-density, high-precision circuit board testing is increasing. As one of the important types of circuit boards, the design and manufacture of test fixtures for ABF (Ajinomoto Build-up Film) substrates have become particularly important.

[0003] For example, the "A small-pitch ABF carrier board test fixture" with the existing authorized announcement number CN 221303491 U has a base, a first electric slide, a first electric slider, a second electric slide, a second electric slider, an electric lifting rod, a probe, a test board and a test hole. Through the setting of multiple test holes on the test board, the minimum spacing between two test holes can reach 7um, which is very good at controlling the spacing between the two test holes, increasing the PASS range and reducing the false detection rate. The small-pitch design can accurately perform ABF carrier board testing, and the probe can slide through the second electric slide and the second electric slider, so that the ABF carrier board can be moved accurately for testing. This setting has higher accuracy, and the test panel hole accuracy can be controlled within 3um.

[0004] However, the above-mentioned existing authorized patent still has at least the following deficiencies. First, it is necessary to manually rotate multiple bolts to fix the ABF carrier when placing and fixing it. At the same time, it is also necessary to manually disassemble and remove the ABF carrier from the placement slot after the test is completed. The operation is somewhat cumbersome, which is not conducive to improving the efficiency of ABF carrier testing. In addition, it is necessary to set up multiple electric slide rails and multiple electric sliders to cooperate with each other to achieve control, which makes its manufacturing cost relatively high and is not conducive to popularization and use.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0034] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions of the present invention in conjunction with specific embodiments. Obviously, the embodiments described are only some of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of them. All other embodiments derived by persons of ordinary skill in the art based on the embodiments of the present invention without inventive effort are also within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0036] The lower support plate 21 and the middle support plate 31 are fixedly installed with a gear plate 61 on the side close to each other, and two rotating shafts are rotatably installed on the front and rear inner walls of the shell 1, and a gear 6 and a gear 2 62 are fixedly sleeved on the rotating shaft. The two gear plates 61 are meshed with the gear 1 6, and the bottom side of the upper support plate 41 is fixedly installed with a gear plate 2 63, which meshes with the gear 2 62, and can control the support frame 1 3 and the support frame 2 4 to move up and down while the placement table 2 moves up and down. In order to make the movement stroke of the support frame 2 4 greater than the movement stroke of the placement table 2 and the support frame 1 3 when the placement table 2 is lifted and lowered, so that the test needle 45 can be controlled to move up and down without losing contact with the ABF carrier plate and maintaining the pressure limit, the diameter of the gear 1 6 is greater than the diameter of the gear 2 62, and the electric cylinder 22 is fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the shell 1, and the working end of the electric cylinder 22 is fixedly connected to the bottom side of the placement table 2, and the placement table 2 is provided with a placement groove and a circular opening;

[0037] A support column 23 is fixedly mounted on the bottom inner wall of the shell 1, and a support plate 24 is fixedly mounted on the top of the support column 23. The support plate 24 is adapted to the circular opening and can push the ABF carrier placed in the placement groove upward under the action of the support plate 24 when the placement table 2 moves downward, thereby facilitating the operator to perform the unloading operation. A mounting plate 42 is fixedly mounted in the support frame 4, and the motor 431 is fixedly mounted on the mounting plate 42. The U-shaped plate 43 is radially fixedly mounted on the output shaft of the motor 431 and is located below the mounting plate 42. The two mounting seats 44 are both slidably mounted on the U-shaped plate 43;

[0038] A second motor 442 is fixedly mounted on one side of the U-shaped plate 43. A bidirectional screw 441 is rotatably mounted on the U-shaped plate 43. Two mounting seats 44 are both threadedly connected to the bidirectional screw 441. One end of the bidirectional screw 441 is axially fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 442. The spacing between the two mounting seats 44 can be adjusted, thereby achieving position adjustment of the test pin 45. The two test pins 45 are respectively fixedly mounted on the bottom side of the corresponding mounting seat 44.

[0039] A plurality of upper sleeves 321 are fixedly installed on the bottom side of the support frame 3, a guide ring 322 is fixedly installed on the bottom end of the upper sleeve 321, and the same lower sleeve 323 is slidably installed on the outer side of the guide ring 322 and the upper sleeve 321. The same spring 324 is fixedly installed on the bottom inner wall of the lower sleeve 323 and the top inner wall of the upper sleeve 321, which can press and limit the ABF carrier placed in the placement groove as the support frame 3 moves downward, and can also achieve effective buffering.

[0040] In this embodiment, in order to avoid damage to the ABF carrier plate when the ABF carrier plate is pressed and limited, and to enhance the stability of the pressing and limiting, a rubber pad 325 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the lower sleeve 323 .

[0041] In this embodiment, in order to ensure that the two mounting seats 44 can maintain stable sliding on the U-shaped plate 43, two guide rods arranged parallel to the bidirectional screw rod 441 are fixedly installed on the U-shaped plate 43, and the two mounting seats 44 are both slidably connected to the two guide rods.

[0042] In this embodiment, in order to ensure the accuracy of adjustment, both the motor 1 431 and the motor 2 442 are servo motors.

[0043] The circuits, electronic components and module structures involved all use existing technologies, which can be fully implemented by those skilled in the art. Needless to say, the content protected by this application does not involve improvements to software, circuits and methods.

[0044] Working principle: When in use, first turn on the power and place the ABF carrier to be tested in the placement slot of the placement table 2, then start the electric cylinder 22, the electric cylinder 22 pushes the placement table 2 to move upward, and the ABF carrier is lifted accordingly. Due to the engagement of the tooth plate 1 61 and the gear 1 6, the placement table 2 and the support frame 1 3 move in the direction of approaching each other, and are stably fixed in the placement slot by multiple pressure-holding limit assemblies 32. Since the gear 1 6 and the gear 2 62 are set on the same rotating shaft, the gear 2 62 keeps synchronous rotation with the gear 1 6. At the same time, due to the engagement of the tooth plate 2 63 and the gear 2 62, the support frame 2 4 also moves downward, and the diameter of the gear 1 6 is larger than the diameter of the gear 2 62, so that the movement stroke of the support frame 2 4 is larger than that of the support frame 1-3 movement stroke, at the same time, motor 1 431 drives the U-shaped plate 43 to rotate, and adjusts the distance between the two mounting seats 44 through motor 2 442 and the bidirectional screw rod 441, so that the position of the test needle 45 can be adjusted to the position required for testing, and after the ABF carrier is fixed by the pressure-holding limit component 32, the placement table 2 is continued to be controlled to move upward for a certain distance, so that the test needle 45 moves downward and performs precise electrical testing on specific test points on the ABF carrier. After the test is completed, the electric cylinder 22 is started again to control the placement table 2 to descend together with the ABF carrier. As the placement table 2 descends, the ABF carrier can contact the support plate 24, and as the placement table 2 continues to descend, the ABF carrier can be pushed out of the placement slot, making it convenient for the operator to perform unloading operations.

[0045] The above is a detailed introduction to the micro-pitch ABF substrate test fixture provided by the present invention. This article uses specific examples to illustrate the principles and implementation methods of the present invention. The description of the above examples is only intended to help understand the method and core concept of the present invention. It should be noted that for ordinary technicians in this technical field, various improvements and modifications can be made to the present invention without departing from the principles of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications also fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.
