[0068] The variable pitch transfer mechanism 4 takes out the chip from the storage carrier delivered by the chip feeding mechanism 1a.

[0069] The robotic arm adjusts the spacing between the chips according to the testing requirements to match the spacing of the testing carrier.

[0070] After adjusting the spacing, the robotic arm places the chip into the test carrier provided by the transfer mechanism 2.

[0071] S30: Operation of Transit Center 2:

[0073] S40: Chip Tester 3 Operation:

[0074] The chip tester 3 receives the test carrier from the transfer unit 2 and performs functional tests.

[0075] After the test is completed, the chip tester 3 sends the test carrier with the tested chip back to the transfer mechanism 2, and the transfer mechanism 2 then sends the test carrier back to the variable pitch manipulator.

[0076] S50: The variable pitch transfer mechanism 4 is operated again:

[0077] The variable pitch transfer mechanism 4 takes the tested chips delivered by the transfer mechanism 2 from the test carrier and adjusts the chip spacing to match the spacing of the storage carrier.

[0078] After the adjustment is completed, the robotic arm places the chip back into the storage carrier of the chip feeding mechanism 1a.

[0079] S60: Operation of Vehicle Transfer Robot 5:

[0080] The carrier transfer robot 5 removes the storage carrier loaded with the tested chips from the chip feeding mechanism 1a and places it into the good product unloading mechanism 1b;

[0081] S70: Operation of Good Product Feeding Mechanism 1b:

[0082] The good product unloading mechanism 1b receives the storage carriers taken out by the carrier transfer robot 5 and stacks the storage carriers for storage and transportation.

[0083] The variable-pitch chip testing device provided in this embodiment is equipped with a variable-pitch transfer mechanism 4 that can adjust the chip pitch. During the testing phase, the variable-pitch transfer mechanism 4 can adjust the chip pitch to a larger pitch that meets the requirements of the testing machine, ensuring that each chip has sufficient testing space. During the storage and transportation phase, the variable-pitch transfer mechanism 4 can adjust the chip pitch to a smaller pitch, thereby improving the space utilization and transportation efficiency of the storage vehicle.

[0084] Therefore, the variable-pitch chip testing device provided by this utility model can adjust the chip spacing according to the testing needs during the testing process, thereby ensuring the working space during chip testing and improving the efficiency of chip storage and transportation.

[0085] The variable pitch transfer mechanism 4 includes a variable pitch module 401 for picking up each of the chips, and a suction head drive unit for driving the variable pitch module 401 to move.

[0086] See Figure 3 The variable pitch module 401 includes several first chip pick-up heads 4011a, several second chip pick-up heads 4011b, a synchronous belt, and a variable pitch motor 4012, which are arranged at intervals.

[0087] Each second chip pick 4011b is located between two first chip picks 4011a. The timing belt includes a first straight belt segment and a second straight belt segment with opposite directions of movement, wherein each first chip pick 4011a is fixed to the first straight belt segment and each second chip pick 4011b is fixed to the second straight belt segment. The variable pitch motor 4012 is connected to the timing belt drive and drives the timing belt to rotate, so that each first chip pick 4011a moves closer to or further away from each second chip pick 4011b.

[0088] Both the first chip suction head 4011a and the second chip suction head 4011b include a suction head body 4011a1 and a suction head Z-axis linear drive mechanism 4011a2 that drives the suction head body 4011a1 to move up and down.

[0090] The variable-pitch chip testing device also includes a defective unloading mechanism 1c and an empty tray feeding mechanism 1d. The defective unloading mechanism 1c is used to stack and store storage carriers loaded with chips that have failed the test. The empty tray feeding mechanism 1d is used to deliver several stacked empty storage carriers one by one. The carrier transfer robot 5 is also used to transfer the empty tray feeding mechanism 1d to the defective unloading mechanism 1c, so that the variable-pitch transfer mechanism 4 can place the chips that have failed the test into the empty storage carriers of the defective unloading mechanism 1c.

[0091] The empty tray feeding mechanism 1d sends out an empty storage carrier, and then the carrier transfer robot 5 transfers the empty tray feeding mechanism 1d to the defective unloading mechanism 1c. The variable pitch transfer mechanism 4 can then put the unqualified chips into the empty storage carrier of the defective unloading mechanism 1c. After the storage carrier is full, the defective unloading mechanism 1c stacks and stores the storage carriers loaded with the unqualified chips.

[0092] See Figure 4 Each of the feeding mechanisms and the unloading mechanisms includes a storage frame 101, a side-push cylinder 102, a lifting mechanism 103, a buffer rack 104, and a carrier linear drive mechanism 105.

[0093] The storage frame 101 has a carrier passageway 1011 at its center for the passage of storage vehicles, and four limiting columns 106 at its top to horizontally limit the movement of the storage vehicles. A side-push cylinder 102 is located on the storage frame 101 and is used to laterally clamp the second lowest-positioned storage vehicle to prevent the second lowest-positioned and higher-positioned storage vehicles from falling downwards through the carrier passageway 1011. A lifting mechanism 103 is located below the carrier passageway 1011 and is used to receive the first lowest-positioned storage vehicle. The buffer rack 104 includes two oppositely arranged discharge plates, with a space between the two discharge plates for the lifting mechanism 103 to pass through. A carrier linear drive mechanism 105 drives the lifting mechanism 103 to reciprocate between the storage frame 101 and the buffer rack 104.

[0094] When it is necessary to transport the storage carrier from the storage box 101 to the buffer rack 104, the operation process is as follows:

[0095] ① The side-push cylinder 102 clamps the second lowest position storage vehicle to prevent the second lowest position and above storage vehicles from falling downwards;

[0096] ② The lifting mechanism 103 moves upward to receive the first low-position storage carrier, and then moves downward, so that the first low-position storage carrier moves through the carrier passage 1011 to a position lower than the storage frame 101.

[0097] ③ The linear drive mechanism 105 drives the lifting mechanism 103 to carry the storage vehicle to the buffer rack 104. The lifting mechanism 103 then lowers the storage vehicle and places it on the buffer rack 104.

[0098] The steps of transferring the storage vehicle from the buffer rack 104 to the storage box 101 are the reverse of the above process, and will not be described in detail in this embodiment.

[0099] The transfer mechanism 2 includes a first transfer platform 201, a second transfer platform 202, a transfer robot 203 for transferring test vehicles between the first transfer platform 201 and the second transfer platform 202, a first transfer linear drive mechanism 204 for reciprocating the first transfer platform 201 between the variable pitch transfer mechanism 4 and the second transfer platform 202, and a second transfer linear drive mechanism 205 for reciprocating the second transfer platform 202 between the first transfer platform 201 and the chip tester 3.

[0100] Initially, the test carrier is located in the first transfer platform 201. The variable-pitch transfer mechanism 4 removes the chip from the storage carrier, adjusts the spacing, and places it into the test carrier provided by the first transfer platform 201. Then, the first transfer linear drive mechanism 204 drives the first transfer platform 201 to a position close to the second transfer platform 202, and the transfer robot 203 transfers the test carrier to the second transfer platform 202. The second transfer linear drive mechanism 205 transfers the second transfer platform 202 to the chip tester 3, and the chip tester 3 removes the test carrier from the second transfer platform 202 and performs testing.

[0101] After the test is completed, the chip tester 3 sends the test carrier back to the second transfer platform 202. Then, the first transfer platform 201, the second transfer platform 202, the transfer robot 203, the first transfer linear drive mechanism 204, and the second transfer linear drive mechanism 205 cooperate to send the test carrier back to its initial position so that the variable pitch transfer mechanism 4 can take out the chip from the test carrier and put it back into the storage carrier.

[0102] The variable-pitch chip testing device also includes a buffer platform 6 and a cleaning nozzle 7 located on the side of the buffer platform 6. For chips that fail the test and need to be retested, the variable-pitch transfer mechanism 4 can first transfer them to the buffer platform 6 for buffering. Optionally, before placing them on the buffer platform 6, the chips can be transferred above the cleaning nozzle 7 to clean the bottom of the chips.

[0103] In summary, the variable-gap chip testing device provided in this embodiment has the following advantages:

[0104] ① High flexibility: The chip spacing can be adjusted according to test requirements through the variable pitch transfer mechanism 4, adapting to different test environments and requirements, and ensuring that each chip has sufficient test space.

[0105] ② Efficiency Improvement: In the warehousing and transportation stages, adjusting the chip spacing improves the space utilization and transportation efficiency of warehousing vehicles.

[0106] ③ High degree of automation: The entire testing process, including material feeding, testing, and unloading, is automated, reducing manual operation and lowering labor intensity and production costs.

[0107] ④ Clean and environmentally friendly: Equipped with a cleaning nozzle 7, it can clean chips that are abnormal during testing, ensuring the cleanliness of the chips and the accuracy of the test.

[0108] ⑤ Convenient retesting: For chips that need to be retested, they can be cached through the cache platform 6 for easy subsequent processing.
