[0028] This utility model proposes a cleaning head for a chip test socket cleaning device, referring to... Figures 1 to 4 The cleaning head of the chip test socket cleaning device includes:

[0029] Cleaning component body 100;

[0030] The cleaning component 200 is detachably connected to the cleaning component body 100. The cleaning component 200 includes a brush head 210, a brush head rod 220, and a threaded rod 230. One end of the brush head rod 220 is connected to the brush head 210, and the other end of the brush head rod 220 is connected to the threaded rod 230. The threaded rod 230 is threadedly connected to the cleaning component body 100. The cleaning component 200 is provided with a channel 240 that passes through the brush head 210, the brush head rod 220, and the threaded rod 230. The channel 240 is used for gas flow.

[0031] In this embodiment, the cleaning head of the chip test socket cleaning device is detachably mounted on the chip test socket cleaning device, which is mounted on a transfer robot. During the cleaning process, the transfer robot moves to the location of the chip test socket cleaning device and transports it to the chip test socket that needs cleaning. When cleaning chip test sockets of different specifications, the cleaning head of the chip test socket cleaning device needs to be replaced. The main body 100 of the cleaning component is removed, and the cleaning component 200 is rotated out of the main body 100 and replaced with a new cleaning component 200, which completes the replacement. This is very convenient. Using the detachable cleaning component 200 can adapt to various specifications of chip test sockets to meet cleaning needs, and the cleaning head replacement is simple. Only the cleaning component 200 needs to be replaced, without involving the replacement of the main body 100 of the cleaning component, reducing resource waste. Optionally, the main body 100 of the cleaning component can be made of stainless steel or other materials that are not easy to rust and are easy to clean, ensuring its durability and ease of use. The cleaning component 200 can be made of soft materials to ensure its softness and cleaning efficiency. Of course, other materials can also be used for the cleaning component 200 depending on actual needs. A sealing ring 231 is provided at the end of the threaded rod 230 that connects to the main body 100 of the cleaning component. The sealing ring 231 is used to prevent gas from leaking from the connection between the threaded rod 230 and the main body 100 of the cleaning component, thereby ensuring the stability and sealing of the cleaning head. Optionally, the sealing ring 231 can be made of rubber, silicone or other polymer materials to ensure its wear resistance, high temperature resistance and sealing performance.

[0032] The cleaning component 200's channel 240 is connected to the air tube of the cleaning device. Dirt and impurities are vacuum-absorbed by the brush head 210 for cleaning. The channel 240 preferably has a circular cross-section, but is not limited to a circular cross-section; other shapes are also possible. The channel 240 is preferably located at the center of the brush head 210 to ensure uniform gas flow within it. Alternatively, in other embodiments, an ultrasonic motor can be used to drive the brush head 210 to vibrate and achieve cleaning. An ultrasonic motor utilizes the inverse piezoelectric effect of piezoelectric materials and ultrasonic vibration to convert the microscopic deformation of the material into macroscopic rotor motion through mechanical resonance amplification and frictional coupling. This vibration can be transmitted to the brush head 210 via a mechanical structure or frictional coupling, causing it to generate high-frequency micro-vibrations, thereby achieving a cleaning effect.

[0033] The cleaning head of this chip test socket cleaning device is used in conjunction with the cleaning device to clean the chip test socket. The cleaning head is installed on the chip test socket cleaning device. The channel 240 of the cleaning component 200 is connected to the air tube of the cleaning device to remove contaminants on the chip test socket through the vacuum channel. When the chip test socket cleaning device needs to replace the cleaning head, the cleaning head is removed, and the cleaning component 200 is rotated off from the cleaning component body 100. The cleaning component body 100 does not need to be replaced; only the new cleaning component 200 needs to be replaced. The cleaning component body 100 of this chip test socket cleaning device can be adapted to various specifications of cleaning components 200 to meet cleaning needs. When replacing, only the cleaning component 200 needs to be replaced, thereby reducing cleaning costs.

[0034] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 The main body 100 of the cleaning component is provided with a plurality of mounting holes 110, which are located on the side of the main body 100 of the cleaning component away from the cleaning component 200, and magnets 111 are respectively installed in the plurality of mounting holes 110.

[0035] In this embodiment, the cleaning component body 100 is magnetically attracted to the cleaning device by the magnet 111, so that the cleaning component body 100 can be firmly installed on the cleaning device. When the cleaning head needs to be replaced, the cleaning component body 100 can also be easily removed from the cleaning device. The shape and size of the mounting hole 110 are adapted to the shape and size of the magnet 111.

[0036] In some embodiments, the magnet 111 is bonded to the mounting hole 110 by a high-temperature adhesive.

[0037] In this embodiment, the magnet 111 is bonded to the mounting hole 110 using a high-temperature adhesive. This ensures the magnet 111 is securely installed within the mounting hole 110, and the high-temperature adhesive also increases the attraction between the magnet 111 and the mounting hole 110, making the magnet 111 more stably installed. Optionally, the high-temperature adhesive can be a two-component adhesive. The magnet 111 is placed inside the mounting hole 110, and then the two-component high-temperature adhesive is mixed in a certain proportion and applied to the contact surface between the magnet 111 and the mounting hole 110. Once the high-temperature adhesive cures, the magnet 111 is firmly bonded to the mounting hole 110. Of course, depending on actual needs, the high-temperature adhesive can also be made of other types of polymer materials, as long as it can firmly bond the magnet 111 to the mounting hole 110. The contact surface between the magnet 111 and the mounting hole 110 needs to be cleaned to ensure the bonding effect of the high-temperature adhesive. Meanwhile, when applying high-temperature adhesive to the contact surface between magnet 111 and mounting hole 110, it is necessary to ensure the uniformity and thickness of the coating to guarantee the bonding effect of the high-temperature adhesive.

[0038] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 The cleaning component body 100 is provided with a protrusion 120, which is located on the peripheral edge of the cleaning component body 100.

[0039] In this embodiment, when the cleaning head needs to be replaced, the transfer robot moves the cleaning device to the cleaning head placement rack in the cleaning head replacement area. When the protrusion 120 of the cleaning part body 100 touches the sensor of the cleaning head placement rack, it indicates that there is a cleaning head at this position. Then the transfer robot drives the cleaning device to separate from the cleaning head, and then the cleaning part 200 is replaced. Optionally, the protrusion 120 can be a sensing pin, which can be set according to the actual situation.

[0040] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 The cleaning component body 100 is provided with a positioning hole 130, which is located on the side of the cleaning component body 100 away from the cleaning component 200.

[0041] In this embodiment, by inserting the positioning pin of the cleaning device into the positioning hole 130 of the cleaning component body 100, the cleaning device can be firmly connected to the cleaning component body 100. Optionally, the number and size of the positioning holes 130 can be adjusted according to actual needs. At the same time, the positioning holes 130 can also be circular, square, or other shapes, as long as they can be adapted to the positioning pin of the cleaning device.

[0042] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 The cleaning component body 100 is provided with a slot 140, which is an annular slot formed on the outer side of the cleaning component body 100.

[0043] In this embodiment, when the cleaning head needs to be replaced, the slot 140 of the cleaning component body 100 engages with the cleaning head placement rack in the replacement area. Then, the transfer robot moves the cleaning device upward to separate it from the cleaning head, thereby replacing the cleaning component 200. After replacement, the transfer robot moves the cleaning device downward to successfully engage the cleaning device and the cleaning head. At this point, the transfer robot moves laterally out of the cleaning device to complete the head replacement operation. Preferably, the slot 140 is an annular slot to achieve quick engagement between the cleaning head and the cleaning head placement rack.

[0044] In some embodiments, refer to Figure 3 The main body 100 of the cleaning component has a through hole 150, which is connected to the channel 240.

[0045] In this embodiment, the through hole 150 of the cleaning component body 100 is connected to the channel 240, increasing the flow of gas inside the cleaning component body 100. The gas can flow more smoothly through the channel 240, thereby enabling the cleaning component 200 to achieve a better cleaning effect. Optionally, the size of the through hole 150 can be adjusted according to the actual needs of the cleaning head and the gas flow rate to meet specific requirements.
