[0048] Control system, to material sensor 130, grabbing assembly, test assembly 320 and chip collection system 400 are electrically connected;
[0049] Among them, along the rotation direction of rotating platform 310, chip handling system 200, chip testing system 300 and chip collection system 400 are sequentially arranged.
[0050] The chip feeding system 100 transports the to-be-tested chip 500 to the feeding detection position. When the feeding sensor 130 identifies that the to-be-tested chip 500 is transported to the feeding detection position, the control system controls the grabbing assembly to work, so as to drive the chip suction nozzle 210 to move and adsorb the to-be-tested chip 500 and transport it to the chip carrier 311. The rotating platform 310 drives the to-be-tested chip 500 to rotate until the to-be-tested chip 500 is rotated to the side of the testing assembly 320. The control system controls the rotating platform 310 to stop rotating.

After the testing is completed, the control system controls the rotating platform 310 to rotate, so that the next to-be-tested chip 500 is rotated to the side of the testing assembly 320. Then, the above steps are repeated to test the next to-be-tested chip 500. With the intermittent rotation of the rotating platform 310, the control system matches the chip to be tested with the pickup component 410 and the collection box 420 of the corresponding gear according to the resistance value of the chip. When the chip after the testing is rotated to the position below the pickup component 410 of the gear, the control system controls the collection box 420 to work, so as to collect the chip into the collection box 420 of the corresponding gear.
[0051] Specifically, the chip feeding system 100, the chip transporting system 200, the chip testing system 300 and the chip collecting system 400 are arranged in the embodiment, so that the small chip can be tested in resistance and collected according to the test result.

The servo driving part 220 drives the PPU manipulator 230 to move along the X direction and the Y direction. The PPU manipulator 230 is connected with the chip suction nozzle 210. Specifically, the servo driving part 220 and the PPU manipulator 230 are connected to realize the movement of the chip suction nozzle 210. The structure is stable and reliable in operation.
[0053] Further, the chip handling system 200 further comprises a pressing assembly 240 connected between the PPU manipulator 230 and the chip suction nozzle 210; the pressing assembly 240 comprises a linear guide rail 241, a sliding block 242 matched with the linear guide rail 241, and an elastic member 243.

Specifically, the pressing assembly 240 is arranged in the embodiment, so that when the chip suction nozzle 210 contacts and adsorbs the to-be-tested chip 500, the consistency during suction can be ensured, and the chip will not be pressed. In some embodiments, the elastic member 243 is a spring. In some embodiments, two elastic members 243 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the linear guide rail 241.
[0054] Further, the chip carrier 311 is provided with a vertically extending circular hole 312, and the circular hole 312 is provided with a conductive member 313 having a conductive property, and the conductive member 313 is not conductive with the chip carrier 311. A part of the circular hole 312 located at the top end of the conductive member 313 forms a test placement groove 314, and the to-be-tested chip 500 is placed in the test placement groove 314. During testing, the first test probe 322 is conductive with the top end of the to-be-tested chip 500 placed in the test placement groove 314, the bottom end of the to-be-tested chip 500 is conductive with the top end of the conductive member 313, and the second test probe 323 is conductive with the bottom of the conductive member 313. Specifically, the conductive member 313 is embedded in the chip carrier 311 in the embodiment, so as to facilitate the conduction of the to-be-tested chip 500 with the first test probe 322 and the second test probe 323.

After testing is completed, the control system controls the moving member to work to drive the first test probe 322 to move upward and the second test probe 323 to move downward, so that the first test probe 322 and the second test probe 323 are away from the chip carrier 311, thereby facilitating the rotation of the rotating platform 310 to perform testing on the next to-be-tested chip 500. The layout of the present application is reasonable, the occupied area is small, and the testing efficiency is high.

Since the humidity and temperature in the testing environment have a relatively large influence on the resistance measurement value of the small chip, in order to solve this problem, the embodiment is provided with the reference assembly 600, so that the reference chip needs to be measured synchronously when the chip to be tested 500 is tested, and then compared with the reference chip to eliminate the influence of environmental factors on the measurement value.
[0057] Further, the reference carrier 640 has the same structure and size as the chip carrier 311. Specifically, the consistency of the reference assembly 600 and the testing assembly 320 further reduces the error.
[0058] Further, the straight vibration 120 comprises a conveying track 121 for conveying the chip to be tested 500, and a material feeding detection position is arranged at the front end of the conveying track 121; a material blocking plate 122 is arranged at the front end of the material feeding detection position. Specifically, the arrangement of the material blocking plate 122 in the embodiment can avoid the chip to be tested 500 from being separated from the conveying track 121.
[0059] Further, a cover plate 123 is arranged above the conveying track 121. Since the chip is relatively small, the cover plate 123 is arranged to avoid the chip from moving due to the influence of the external environment during the conveying process.
[0060] Further, the chip collection system 400 further comprises a vacuum suction driving part 422 electrically connected with the control system, and the vacuum suction driving part 422 is communicated with the collection box 420.

The structure is simple, and automatic gear collection is realized.
[0061] Further, the collection box 420 comprises a box body 421, a suction area 423 arranged on one side of the box body 421, and a partition plate 424 for separating the box body 421 and the suction area 423; for example, the suction area 423 is arranged on the back side of the box body 421.

Specifically, the partition plate 424 of the embodiment separates the box body 421 and the suction area 423, so as to ensure the suction force, so that the chip after the test is adsorbed into the box body 421. At the same time, it can also avoid that the chip is adsorbed into the through hole 425 due to large suction force.
