[0026] Example

[0027] Reference Figure 1-5This is an embodiment of the present invention, which provides an AGV-based automatic loading and unloading semiconductor testing and sorting machine, comprising:

[0028] The testing device 100 includes a housing 101, a main unit 102 fixedly connected inside the housing 101, a door 103 hinged to the middle of the housing 101, and a screen 104 fixedly connected to the side wall of the housing 101. The screen 104 is used in conjunction with the main unit 102.

[0029] The loading and unloading device 200 includes a support plate 201 fixedly connected inside the housing 101, a slide rail 202 fixedly connected to the side wall of the support plate 201, a sliding member 203 slidably connected to the middle of the slide rail 202, a carrier 204 fixedly connected to the upper end of the sliding member 203, and a material tray 205 inserted into the middle side wall of the carrier 204. The carrier 204 runs above the support plate 201, and the housing 101 has an AGV trolley receiving port 105 in the middle for use with the carrier 204.

[0030] The main unit 102 is fixedly connected inside the housing 101. The main unit 102 is the core control component of the testing device, responsible for processing various test data and issuing control commands. A door 103 is hinged in the middle of the housing 101, facilitating maintenance and repair of the main unit and other components inside the housing by operators. A screen 104 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the housing 101. The screen 104 works in conjunction with the main unit 102 to display test results, equipment status, and other information, allowing operators to monitor the test situation in real time. High-precision positioning markers, such as QR codes or standard positioning fixtures, are installed at the loading and unloading stations of the semiconductor testing and sorting machine. These stations have automatic extension and automatic door opening functions. The AGV is equipped with corresponding positioning sensors, such as vision sensors or infrared sensors. When the AGV travels near the semiconductor testing and sorting machine, the positioning sensors identify the positioning markers and adjust the AGV's position and posture through feedback control to achieve precise docking with the semiconductor testing and sorting machine. The docking mechanism features automatic door opening and automatic material extension, improving the stability and accuracy of AGV material handling. The support plate 201 of the loading / unloading device 200 is fixedly connected inside the housing 101, and the carrier 204 can slide along the slide rail 202 above the support plate 201. A material tray 205 is inserted into the middle side wall of the carrier 204 for placing semiconductors to be tested. An AGV trolley receiving port 105 is provided in the middle of the housing 101 to facilitate material transfer between the AGV trolley and the carrier 204.

[0031] Specifically, the loading and unloading device 200 also includes a fixed base 206 fixedly connected to the bottom of the support plate 201, a turntable 207 rotatably connected to the center of the fixed base 206, and a push rod 208 threadedly connected to the center of the turntable 207. The end of the push rod 208 is inserted into the inner side of the through hole in the middle of the support plate 201, and the end of the push rod 208 extends to the lower end of the material tray 205. The loading and unloading device 200 also includes a connecting plate 209 fixedly connected to the bottom of the push rod 208, and a guide rod fixedly connected to the side wall of the connecting plate 209. 210, the end of the guide rod 210 is inserted into the middle of the support plate 201. The guide rod 210 is used in conjunction with the top rod 208, and the guide rod 210 and the top rod 208 have the same length. The loading and unloading device 200 also includes a lifting motor 211 fixedly connected to the side wall of the fixed seat 206. The output end of the lifting motor 211 is equipped with a pulley 212 that works with the turntable 207, and a belt 213 adapted to be installed on the side wall of the pulley 212. The pulley 212 is connected to the turntable 207 through the belt 213.

[0032] When the turntable 207 rotates, the push rod 208 moves up and down due to the threaded drive, thereby driving the material tray 205 to lift and lower. To ensure the stability of the push rod 208's lifting and lowering, the guide rod 210 works in conjunction with the push rod 208 to provide guidance and stability. The belt pulley 212 is connected to the turntable 207 via the belt 213, and the lifting motor 211 drives the turntable 207 to rotate via the belt drive, thus realizing the lifting and lowering of the material tray 205.

[0033] Furthermore, the loading and unloading device 200 also includes a lead screw 214 rotatably connected to the bottom of the support plate 201, a ball nut 215 threadedly connected to the middle side wall of the lead screw 214, and a support block 216 fixedly connected to the upper side wall of the ball nut 215. The upper end of the support block 216 is slidably connected to the side wall of the support plate 201, and the upper end of the support block 216 is fixedly connected to the end of the carrier 204. The loading and unloading device 200 also includes a translation motor 217 fixedly connected to the bottom side wall of the support plate 201, and the end of the translation motor 217 is drivenly connected to the lead screw 214.

[0034] When the translation motor 217 rotates, it drives the lead screw 214 to rotate. Through the threaded transmission between the lead screw and the ball nut, the ball nut 215 moves along the lead screw 214, thereby driving the support block 216 and the carrier 204 to translate on the support plate 201 and adjust the position of the carrier 204.

[0035] Preferably, the loading and unloading device 200 further includes a frame 218 fixedly connected to the upper end of the support plate 201, a limiting plate 219 fixedly connected to the side wall of the frame 218, and a limiting cylinder 220 fixedly connected to the side wall of the limiting plate 219. The frame 218 has a through hole structure in the middle for use with the material tray 205, and the end of the limiting cylinder 220 extends through and to the inside of the limiting plate 219. The limiting plate 219 is engaged with the outside of the through hole in the middle of the frame 218.

[0036] When the material tray 205 is raised to the designated position, the host 102 controls the limit cylinder 220 to extend and limit and fix the material tray 205 to prevent it from moving during the test.

[0037] In operation, the AGV transports the tray 205 containing semiconductors to the AGV receiving port 105. The translation motor 217 starts, driving the lead screw 214 to rotate, causing the carrier 204 to move along the slide rail 202 to the AGV receiving port 105, docking with the AGV and transferring the tray 205 from the AGV to the carrier 204. The translation motor 217 starts again, moving the carrier 204 and tray 205 to the testing area of ​​the testing device. The limit cylinder 220 extends, limiting and fixing the tray 205 to ensure its stability during testing. The host 102 performs various performance tests on the semiconductors in the tray 205 according to a preset test program. The test results are displayed on the screen 104, allowing operators to monitor the test status in real time. After the test is completed, the limit cylinder 220 retracts, releasing the limit on the tray 205. The translation motor 217 starts, moving the carrier 204 and the tray 205 to the AGV trolley's receiving port 105. The AGV trolley then removes the tested tray 205, completing one cycle of loading, unloading, and testing.

[0038] In summary, the use of AGVs for automated loading and unloading reduces manual intervention, improves the automation level of semiconductor testing and sorting, and lowers labor costs. The coordinated operation of all components in the loading and unloading device enables rapid and accurate loading, unloading, and position adjustment of the trays, shortening the testing cycle and improving work efficiency. The limit cylinder 220 secures the tray 205, ensuring its stability during testing, preventing testing errors caused by tray movement, and improving testing accuracy. The door 103 of the testing device is designed to facilitate maintenance and repair of internal components such as the main unit, reducing maintenance difficulty and time. The reasonable design of the screw-nut drive and belt drive structures in the loading and unloading device, combined with the guiding action of the guide rod 210, ensures the stability and reliability of the equipment operation.
