[0035] Exemplary embodiments will now be described more fully with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0038] Currently, in a certain type of precision measuring equipment, the xenon lamp is mainly installed using a slot rotation fixing method, and its operation procedure is as follows:

[0039] Insert the bulb: Align the three pin-shaped structures of the xenon lamp with the slots in the base;

[0040] Rotation fixing: Rotate the light bulb to make the pin-shaped structure snap into the fixing groove of the base;

[0041] Connect the power supply: Manually secure the bulb power cord to complete the installation.

[0042] Although this method meets the installation requirements of xenon lamps to some extent, it still has many shortcomings in actual use, mainly including the following aspects:

[0043] (1) Risk of incorrect installation direction

[0044] Because existing installation methods lack clear directional constraints, operators may encounter the following problems during installation:

[0045] Incorrect bulb orientation: The rotating installation method may cause the bulb to be installed incorrectly, resulting in a misalignment of the light source direction and affecting measurement accuracy;

[0046] Uneven illumination: If the position of the light source is off, it will affect the uniformity of illumination of the measuring instrument, and thus affect the reliability of the measurement results.

[0047] (2) The mechanical structure is easily damaged.

[0048] During rotation, the bulb may rub against the inner wall of the base, causing surface wear and affecting the bulb's lifespan.

[0049] The power cord of the light bulb may be subjected to uneven force during rotation, leading to poor contact or breakage, which affects the stability of the power supply.

[0050] (3) Complex operation and low installation efficiency

[0051] The rotation installation method requires multiple steps (insertion, rotation, locking, wiring), which is cumbersome.

[0052] If the tightening force is difficult to control, it may cause the bulb to loosen or be damaged.

[0053] Due to prolonged use, the rotating mechanism may experience wear and tear, reducing its installation accuracy and affecting the long-term stability of the equipment.

[0054] In summary, existing technologies have shortcomings in terms of installation accuracy, stability, and ease of maintenance, and urgently need improvement.

[0055] This disclosure provides a xenon lamp mounting structure, which is suitable not only for semiconductor measuring machines but also for other instruments and equipment requiring high-precision light source installation, stable power supply, and long-term durability. By adopting the technical solution of this invention, rapid, accurate, and stable installation of xenon lamps can be achieved, effectively solving problems such as inconsistent installation direction, cumbersome operation, and component wear in existing technologies.

[0056] This disclosure provides a xenon lamp mounting structure, which includes:

[0057] like Figures 1-4 The xenon lamp assembly 1 shown has two first positioning parts 11 and 12 at its bottom. The two first positioning parts 11 and 12 are exemplary pin structures. A first electrode 1a is also provided at its top and a second electrode 1b is provided at its bottom.

[0058] like Figure 5 and Figure 6 The base 2 shown is provided with second positioning parts 21 and 22 that are inserted into and cooperate with the first positioning parts 11 and 12. For example, the second positioning parts 21 and 22 are hole structures. The insertion and cooperation are configured to fix the xenon lamp assembly 1 relative to the mounting direction of the base 2 through size cooperation and / or shape cooperation.

[0059] Figure 7 The fixing structure 3 shown is used to lock the xenon lamp assembly 1 onto the base 2.

[0060] Combination Figures 1-7 During installation, the insertion fit is configured to fix the xenon lamp assembly 1 relative to the mounting direction of the base 2 through size fit and / or shape fit, so that the two first positioning parts 11, 12 and the corresponding second positioning parts 21, 22 are aligned and inserted along the fixed direction. Then the xenon lamp assembly 1 is assembled with the base 2 along the fixed direction. After that, the fixing structure 3 is used to lock the xenon lamp assembly 1 and the base 2 to achieve a fixed connection.

[0061] The first positioning parts 11 and 12 and the corresponding second positioning parts 21 and 22 are interlocked to effectively prevent incorrect installation orientation of the xenon lamp assembly 1, ensuring that the installation orientation is unique and accurate each time. This structure has the advantages of simple operation, fast installation speed, firm fixation, and low maintenance cost.

[0062] In this embodiment, the insertion fit is a pin-hole fit structure as shown in the figure. For example... Figure 2 As shown, the two first positioning parts 11 and 12 are both pin structures with different widths. Therefore, they are designed to fit together as follows: Figure 5 As shown, the widths of the holes in the two second positioning parts 21 and 22 on the base 2 are also different. Therefore, when aligning the xenon lamp assembly 1 with the base 2 from top to bottom, there is only one alignment direction and one alignment structure. That is, only when the wider pin structure aligns with the hole structure and the narrower pin structure aligns with the hole structure can the alignment and insertion be achieved, ensuring a unique installation direction. Thus, through the aforementioned pin-hole mating structure with inconsistent dimensions, incorrect installation direction of the xenon lamp assembly 1 can be effectively avoided, ensuring that the installation direction is unique and accurate every time.

[0063] Alternatively, the two pin structures could have different lengths, corresponding to different depths in the two hole structures. In this case, the longer pin can only be inserted into the deeper hole, and the shorter pin can only be inserted into the shallower hole.

[0064] Therefore, the two pin structures differ in length and / or diameter, and their shapes can also be asymmetrical, such as cylindrical or conical. The corresponding hole structure dimensions match the pin structure, and the inner wall of the hole structure can be chamfered to ensure that the pin structure is smoothly inserted and tightly engaged.

[0065] In addition, in the above embodiment, the first positioning parts 11 and 12 are pin structures, and the second positioning parts 21 and 22 are hole structures. Alternatively, the first positioning part can be a hole structure, and the second positioning part can be a pin structure.

[0066] Therefore, through at least two sets of pin-hole mating structures, the dimensional fit is configured such that the pin size in at least two sets of pin-hole mating structures and the hole size that mates with the pin size are different. Here, the pin size can be length or width, and the corresponding hole size is depth or width.

[0067] In an optional embodiment, the shape fit includes a slot and a snap-fit ​​structure, specifically employing an asymmetrical slot and snap-fit ​​structure for positioning. Specifically, the bottom of the xenon lamp assembly has two pre-machined asymmetrical slots, which can be trapezoidal or elliptical in shape, etc. This asymmetrical design ensures that the slots can only engage with the snap-fit ​​on the base in a single correct orientation. The base has corresponding snap-fits whose shape matches the slots, allowing them to automatically lock into place after the xenon lamp assembly is inserted.

[0068] In this embodiment, the asymmetrical slot and snap-fit ​​structure ensures that the xenon lamp assembly can only be installed in one direction, preventing light source misalignment caused by incorrect alignment. Optionally, the self-locking snap-fit ​​automatically secures the xenon lamp assembly after insertion, avoiding loosening caused by vibration or external force. This structure simplifies the installation process, improves operational efficiency and assembly accuracy, and reduces the risk of component wear due to the absence of rotation.

[0069] In an alternative embodiment, the shape fit includes a rail-groove structure, whereby the rail defines the installation direction of the xenon lamp assembly, allowing the xenon lamp assembly to slide in along a specific guide rail for precise positioning.

[0070] In this disclosure, such as Figure 7 and Figure 8 As shown, the fixing structure 3 includes a cover plate 31, the cover plate 31 is provided with a hook 310, and the hook 310 is fixedly connected to the xenon lamp assembly 1 (e.g., Figure 3 (as shown) and base 2 (as shown) Figure 5 (As shown).

[0071] In this embodiment, after the xenon lamp assembly 1 is aligned and inserted into the base 2, the cover plate 31 is assembled from top to bottom, and the hook 310 is operated to hook the base 2 tightly. The xenon lamp assembly 1 is fixed between the cover plate 31 and the base 2, further ensuring installation stability.

[0072] Optionally, a transparent window (not shown in the figure) is provided on the cover plate 31 for observing the installation status of the xenon lamp assembly 1.

[0073] In this disclosure, such as Figure 3 and 4 As shown, at least two third positioning parts 13 and 14 are provided on the top of the xenon lamp assembly 1. Figure 7 and 8 As shown, the cover plate 31 is provided with a fourth positioning part 23, 24 that is inserted and engaged with the third positioning part 13, 14. The insertion and engagement are configured to be achieved through size and / or shape engagement.

[0074] For dimensional and / or shape fits, please refer to the dimensional and / or shape fits between the first and second positioning parts described above, which will not be repeated here. For example, the third positioning parts 13 and 14 adopt a hole structure, while the fourth positioning parts 23 and 24 adopt a pin structure, forming a pin-hole structure. The two pin structures have different dimensions, and the corresponding hole structures also have different dimensions, thereby ensuring that the installation direction between the cover plate 31 and the xenon lamp assembly 1 is unique.

[0075] During installation, first install the cover plate 31 onto the xenon lamp assembly 1, then insert the xenon lamp assembly 1 with the cover plate 31 installed into the base 2, and confirm that the pin structure is fully engaged with the hole structure. Subsequently, by pressing, the hook 310 on the cover plate 31 is tightly engaged with the base 2, completing the final locking of the xenon lamp assembly 1.

[0076] like Figure 5 As shown, this embodiment of the present disclosure introduces a spring buffer and fixed integrated structure based on the aforementioned positioning structure. Its design purpose is to ensure the xenon lamp assembly 1 (such as...) Figure 1 As shown) precise positioning, while utilizing spring 4 (such as Figure 9 (As shown) provides continuous mechanical cushioning to prevent the xenon lamp assembly 1 from loosening due to environmental vibration or operational shock. Specifically, the base 2 has a hole 2a pre-drilled in the center, and a spring 4 is installed in the hole 2a; when the xenon lamp assembly 1 is inserted, its bottom contacts the spring 4 and is subjected to the reaction force of the spring 4, when the fixing structure 3 (as shown) provides continuous mechanical cushioning to prevent the xenon lamp assembly 1 from loosening due to environmental vibration or operational shock. Figure 7 (As shown) When the xenon lamp assembly 1 and the base 2 are locked, a continuous pressing state is maintained between the xenon lamp assembly 1 and the base 2.

[0077] In this embodiment of the disclosure, cover plate 31 (e.g. Figure 7 (as shown) and base 2 (as shown) Figure 5 A hollow chamber is formed between the xenon lamp assembly (1) and the optical path (as shown). This hollow chamber structure not only physically protects the optical path and prevents light obstruction, but also, through reflective coating and heat dissipation design, further improves optical output efficiency and heat dissipation performance, thus ensuring the stability and reliability of the xenon lamp under long-term high-load operation. This hollow chamber design enables the equipment to achieve higher accuracy in high-precision measurement and optical inspection applications.

[0078] In addition, such as Figure 1 and 3 As shown, the upper surface of the xenon lamp assembly 1 uses a conductive material (such as metal) as the first electrode 1a, and its lower surface uses a conductive material as the second electrode 1b. Thus, when the xenon lamp assembly 1 is installed onto the cover plate 31 (e.g., ...), Figure 7 (as shown) and base 2 (as shown) Figure 5 When the first electrode 1a and the second electrode 1b are in contact with the electrodes on the cover plate 31 and the base 2 respectively, they conduct electricity.

[0079] The xenon lamp mounting structure provided in this disclosure has the following technical advantages:

[0080] Easy and efficient installation: The simplified operation process greatly reduces installation time and facilitates daily maintenance and replacement;

[0081] Unique and accurate positioning: Through the above-mentioned long and short positioning pins or asymmetrical slot design, it is ensured that the direction of the bulb is consistent every time it is installed, thereby improving the accuracy of optical detection;

[0082] Secure and stable: The spring buffer and cover plate locking structure work together to effectively prevent loosening of the installation caused by external force or vibration;

[0083] Reliable power supply connection: The automatic contact design of the electrodes ensures that the power supply system can work stably under various operating conditions, reducing equipment failures caused by electrical problems;

[0084] High durability and low maintenance cost: The overall structural design avoids the problem of severe wear during traditional rotation, thereby extending the service life of parts and reducing long-term maintenance costs;

[0085] Optical performance optimization: The hollow chamber design effectively protects the optical output of the xenon lamp. After reflection and heat dissipation treatment, it not only improves the light energy utilization rate, but also improves the heat dissipation conditions, ensuring that the equipment maintains a stable temperature under high-intensity operation.

[0086] The xenon lamp mounting structure of this disclosure can be used in semiconductor measurement equipment. The improvement of the mounting structure will directly improve the measurement accuracy of the equipment and reduce errors caused by improper installation of the light source, providing strong support for high-precision industrial testing and scientific research experiments.
