Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of IC chip testing technology, specifically to a test fixture for packaged IC chips. Background Technology

[0002] IC chips are integrated circuits formed by placing a large number of microelectronic components (transistors, resistors, capacitors, etc.) on a plastic substrate to form a chip. They are the core components of modern electronic devices. During the chip production process, in order to ensure product quality, test for faults in the chip, and improve manufacturing efficiency, the chip is tested. Currently, there are various IC chip testing fixtures available on the market for packaging, but some shortcomings still exist.

[0003] For example, Chinese utility model patent CN220829567U discloses a fixture for IC chip functional testing. The fixture involves first placing the IC chip between clamping plates, then activating a telescopic cylinder. The telescopic cylinder moves a toothed rod one to the right, which in turn moves a toothed rod two to the left. The connecting block between the toothed rods moves inward, which in turn moves a short rod inward. The short rod then moves the clamping plates inward, bringing the clamping plates into contact with the IC chip. This allows for convenient fixing of the IC chip, and the fixing structure is not easily damaged during use, thus preventing the inability to fix the IC chip.

[0004] Based on existing solutions and actual production processes, current chip testing fixtures can only test one chip at a time, resulting in low testing efficiency. Furthermore, after testing, defective chips cannot be quickly screened, which increases the pressure on subsequent workers for screening. Therefore, we propose an IC chip testing fixture for packaging to solve the problems mentioned above. Utility Model Content

[0029] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0030] Please see Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0031] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this embodiment provides the following technical solution: an IC chip testing fixture for packaging, comprising a test base 1; a rejection mechanism located inside the front fixing frame 3, inside the rear fixing frame 4, and on both sides, which can reject and screen chips that fail the test, effectively reducing the subsequent manual output of chip screening; a clamping mechanism located on the upper front and rear sides of the test base 1, which can fix the placed chips, thereby ensuring that the chips do not move during chip testing; and a multi-workpiece testing mechanism located above the middle of the test base 1, which can clamp and fix multiple chips at once, thereby greatly improving the efficiency of chip positioning.

[0032] like Figure 2 , Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, by setting three placement plates 2 at equal intervals above the middle of the test base 1, the chip to be tested can be placed on the placement plate 2, and multiple chips can be placed for testing at one time, thereby improving the testing efficiency.

[0033] After the chip is placed, a front fixing bracket 3 is set on the upper front side of the test base 1, and a rear fixing bracket 4 is set on the upper rear side of the test base 1. A fixing shaft 5 is slidably connected to the lower outer side of the front fixing bracket 3 and the rear fixing bracket 4. The fixing shaft 5 is fixedly installed on the left and right sides of the outside of the test base 1. At the same time, a fixing slot bracket 6 is slidably connected to the lower part of the front fixing bracket 3 and the rear fixing bracket 4. In addition, a connecting rod 7 is rotatably connected to the right side of the outer side of the front fixing bracket 3 and the rear fixing bracket 4. A connecting plate 8 is rotatably installed below the connecting rod 7. Furthermore, a first electric telescopic bracket is installed below the connecting plate 8. The first electric telescopic rod 9 can be opened by lever 9. The output end of the first electric telescopic rod 9 can pull the connecting plate 8 downward, which can make the connecting rod 7 rotate inward. When the connecting rod 7 rotates inward, it can pull the front fixing frame 3 and the rear fixing frame 4 connected at both ends to move to the opposite position inside the sliding groove 18 opened inside the test seat 1. That is, the front fixing frame 3 and the rear fixing frame 4 can fit with the chip placed on the placement plate 2, thereby fixing the position of the chip and ensuring that the chip will not move during subsequent chip testing.

[0034] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, after the chip is clamped and fixed, it can be tested by a testing machine. Once a defective chip is found, a rotating plate 12 is set inside the rear fixing frame 4. A connecting shaft 13 is fixedly installed on the top of the rotating plate 12. Gears 14 are installed on the left and right sides of the outside of the connecting shaft 13. A rack 15 is meshed and connected to the bottom of the gears 14. A third electric telescopic rod 16 is fixedly installed at the rear end of the rack 15. The third electric telescopic rod 16 can be opened. The output end of the third electric telescopic rod 16 can pull the connected rack 15 to move to the rear. That is, when the rack 15 moves, the gear 14 will rotate. At this time, the gear 14 and the connecting shaft 13 will rotate to the rear and upward.

[0035] Push plates 10 are installed at equal intervals inside the front fixing frame 3. The position of the push plates 10 corresponds to the placement plate 2 installed above the middle of the test seat 1. A second electric telescopic rod 11 is installed on the front side of the push plates 10. When the second electric telescopic rod 11 is opened, the output end of the second electric telescopic rod 11 can push the connected push plates 10 to move to the rear side, thereby pushing the unqualified chips. The unqualified chips can move to the rear side and finally enter the collection box 17 for unified collection.

[0036] The working principle of the IC chip testing fixture used for packaging is as follows: by setting multiple placement plates 2, multiple chips can be placed for testing at one time, thereby improving the testing efficiency. At the same time, after the chip is placed, its position can be limited to ensure that the chip does not move during testing. When a defective chip is found, it can be removed and collected into the collection box 17 for unified collection.

[0037] Contents not described in detail in this specification are common knowledge to those skilled in the art. All standard parts used in this invention can be purchased commercially, and irregularly shaped parts can be custom-made according to the description and drawings. The specific connection methods for each part all employ conventional methods such as bolts, rivets, and welding, which are already mature in the prior art. The machinery, parts, and equipment all use conventional models from the prior art, and the circuit connections also employ conventional connection methods from the prior art, which will not be detailed here.

[0038] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included within the protection scope of the present invention.
