[0024] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the feeding mechanism includes a support base 506. The lower end of the support base 506 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the detection table 1. The upper end of the support base 506 is fixedly connected to a feeding box 5. The inside of the feeding box 5 contains wafers. Both sides of the lower end of the feeding box 5 are provided with discharge ports. One side of the feeding box 5 is provided with a limiting mechanism.
[0025] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the limiting mechanism includes a horizontal plate I 504, a rotating plate 503 rotatably connected to the upper surface of the horizontal plate I 504, a pressing rod 501 slidably connected to one end of the rotating plate 503, a spring 502 fixedly connected to the upper end of the pressing rod 501, one end of the spring 502 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the rotating plate 503, and a pressure block 505 fixedly connected to the lower end of the pressing rod 501. The pressing rod 501, spring 502 and pressure block 505 in the limiting mechanism can limit the wafer and prevent the wafer from moving upward when the support rod 705 pushes the suction cup 701 upward to pick up the wafer.
[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the testing mechanism includes a support frame 3, the lower end of the support frame 3 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the testing platform 1, a wafer thickness detector 301 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the support frame 3, the wafer thickness detector 301 is wirelessly connected to a display 4, and the display 4 is fixedly installed at one end of the testing platform 1.
[0027] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the control mechanism includes an air cylinder 8 and a pressing block 202. The upper surface of the air cylinder 8 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the horizontal plate II 7 through a mounting block 801.

The pressing block 202 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the support cylinder 2. The pressing block 202 is aligned with the other end of the push rod 803. The push rod 803 slidably connected to the other end of the air cylinder 8 and the piston plate 802 inside the air cylinder 8 cooperate with the pressing block 202 to separate the suction cup 701 from the lower surface of the wafer, making it convenient for subsequent staff to remove the wafer after testing.
[0028] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the driving mechanism includes a gear 203. The upper surface of the gear 203 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the turntable 201. A half-foot wheel 205 is meshed with the side surface of the gear 203. A motor 204 is fixedly connected to the lower surface of the half-foot wheel 205. The side surface of the motor 204 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the support cylinder 2. The motor 204 and the half-foot wheel 205 can drive the turntable 201 to rotate intermittently, which facilitates the wafer thickness detector 301 to detect the wafer.
[0029] In use, the operator first pulls the extrusion rod 501 upwards, causing the pressure block 505 at the lower end of the extrusion rod 501 to leave the upper end of the feeding box 5. Then, the rotating plate 503 is rotated to move the pressure block 505 out of the feeding box 5. After that, the wafer is placed into the feeding box 5, and the pressure block 505 is returned to its original position, pressing on the upper surface of the wafer. Then, the motor 204 inside the support cylinder 2 is started. At this time, the motor 204 drives the turntable 201 and the horizontal plate II 7 to rotate through the half-foot wheel 205 and the gear 203. When the support rod 705 inside the base plate 702 moves past the lifting platform 103, the base plate 702 will be passively raised, and the suction cup 701 at the upper end of the base plate 702 will be pressed against the lower end. The lower surface of the wafer inside the feed box 5 is then rotated to carry the wafer out of the feed box 5. When it passes under the wafer thickness detector 301, the wafer thickness detector 301 will detect the wafer on the upper surface of the suction cup 701. After detection, the turntable 201 continues to rotate. When the horizontal plate II 7 on the side surface of the turntable 201 passes the extrusion block 202, the extrusion block 202 will extrude the push rod 803 inside the other end of the air cylinder 8. The push rod 803 will push the piston plate 802 inside the air cylinder 8. Therefore, the piston plate 802 pushes the gas through the mounting block 801 into the inside of the suction cup 701. At this time, the suction cup 701 will separate from the wafer. After that, the operator will remove the wafer after the test is completed.
