[0028] Reference Figures 1-4 One embodiment of this utility model is a wafer inspection fixture that is easy to adjust, including a fixed platform 1 and a worktable 2. A fixing component 16 is connected to the top of the worktable 2, and an adjustment component 3 is connected to the top of the fixed platform 1.

One end of the fixed shaft 6 rotates on the inner wall of the fixed frame 4. A drive gear 7 is fixedly sleeved on the outside of the fixed shaft 6. A driven gear 8 is meshed with the bottom of the drive gear 7. A drive rod 9 is fixedly sleeved inside the driven gear 8. Both ends of the drive rod 9 pass through the fixed frame 4 and are fixedly connected to driven plates 10. One end of the driven plate 10 is rotatably connected to the side of the worktable 2. Limiting plates 11 are rotatably connected to both sides of one end of the worktable 2. A connecting plate 12 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the limiting plate 11. A guide plate 13 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the connecting plate 12. A guide groove 14 is opened inside the guide groove 14. A guide block 15 is slidably connected inside the guide groove 14. The bottom of the guide block 15 is fixedly connected to the top of the fixed platform 1.

[0030] The fixed assembly 16 includes a connecting frame 17, which has two sets. The bottom of both sets of connecting frames 17 is fixedly connected to the top of the worktable 2. One set of connecting frames 17 is rotatably connected to a bidirectional lead screw 18, and the inner wall of the other set of connecting frames 17 is fixedly connected to a limit rod 19. One end of the bidirectional lead screw 18 passes through the connecting frame 17 and is fixedly connected to a handle 20. The external thread of the bidirectional lead screw 18 is connected to a connecting block 21. The top of the connecting block 21 is fixedly connected to a fixed plate 22, and the bottom of the fixed plate 22 is fixedly connected to a limit block 23.
