[0017] The application will be described in further detail below with reference to the drawings, and it is necessary to point out here that the following detailed description is only used to further illustrate the application, and cannot be understood as limiting the protection scope of the application, and the skilled in the art can make some non-essential improvements and adjustments to the application according to the above application content.
[0018] Please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2A probe assembly for a flying probe testing machine that can identify vertically oriented needle tips includes a main support 1, a cantilever support 4 mounted on the main support 1, and a probe 5 mounted on the cantilever support 4. It also includes a horizontally positioned camera recognition assembly 2 for identifying the vertical position of the needle tip of the probe 5. The camera recognition assembly 2 includes a mounting bracket 201 mounted on the main support 1, a recognition camera 202 mounted on the mounting bracket 201, a lens 203 adapted to the recognition camera 202, and a prism 204 adapted to the lens 203 (the prism 204 is located at the end of the lens 203 away from the recognition camera 202). The prism 204 refracts the position image of the probe 5 into the lens 203.
[0019] It should be noted that the main support 1 is driven by a corresponding drive mechanism (not shown in the figure) to move in the X, Y, and Z directions to perform detection actions.
[0020] Both the camera recognition component 2 and the probe 5 are fixedly mounted on the main support 1, meaning that the camera recognition component 2 and the probe 5 are always in a relatively static state, eliminating any interference or obstruction of image acquisition. When the main support 1 is at any position, the camera recognition component 2 can accurately and clearly identify the vertical tip position of the probe 5, thus enabling precise adjustment and alignment operations. The horizontally mounted camera recognition component 2 protruding from the outer side of the probe 5 is only a part of the prism 204 (made from...). Figure 1 As can be seen intuitively, the position image of probe 5 enters the lens 203 through the refraction of prism 204, and is then transmitted to the recognition camera 202 to complete image capture. In actual testing, there is no problem of mutual interference between several of these structures, thus enabling small pad testing and expanding the application range of the flying probe tester.
[0021] Furthermore, the prism 204 is located above the probe 5, and the prism 204 is perpendicular to the probe 5.

[0023] The supplementary lighting component 3 includes a lamp plate fixing cover 301 and a lamp plate 302 disposed on the lamp plate fixing cover 301. The lamp plate fixing cover 301 is disposed on the mounting bracket 201 and the lamp plate fixing cover 301 partially covers the lens 203. The lamp plate 302 is located below the side of the prism 204 to avoid obstructing the prism 204.
[0024] In the embodiment, the light board 301 plays a role of light supplement by lighting towards the probe 5, ensuring that the needle tip position in the vertical direction of the probe 5 is accurately and clearly identified, and the lens 203 is half-covered by the light board fixing cover 301, playing a certain protection role on the lens 203.
[0025] Based on the previous embodiment, in another embodiment of the utility model, the light board 302 is adjustably arranged on the light board fixing cover 301, the light board 302 is arranged on the light board fixing cover 301 in a hinged manner, and a corresponding knob is arranged at the hinge, after the angle of the light board 302 is adjusted, the knob is tightened to position the light board 302, of course, the angle of the light board 302 can also be adjusted through other structural settings, which will not be limited and described here in the embodiment, and the light board 302 is adaptively adjusted in the light angle to meet the testing requirements according to the actual layout inside the flying probe tester case. In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described in terms of embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution, and the specification is described in this way only for the sake of clarity, and those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can also be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that those skilled in the art can understand.
