Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of semiconductor wafer testing technology, and specifically to a positioning device locking mechanism. Background Technology
[0002] In the field of semiconductor wafer testing technology, wafer testing is a key link to ensure the quality and performance of semiconductor products. With the rapid development of semiconductor manufacturing technology, wafer size is constantly increasing and integration is continuously improving, which puts forward higher requirements for the accuracy, stability and reliability of wafer testing equipment.
[0003] A review of the public announcement (CN222800795U) reveals a square probe card mounting and positioning mechanism. This technology discloses "a chuck, the chuck having a mounting clip for fixing the square probe card, one of the square probe card and the chuck having at least two positioning blocks, the positioning blocks being staggered in the clamping direction of the mounting clip, and the other having a positioning hole adapted to the positioning block. The square probe card, through the cooperation of the positioning block and the positioning hole, is positioned relative to the chuck in a first direction and a second direction. The mounting clip..." The technical solution of pressing and fixing the square probe card on the chuck includes a chuck, the chuck is provided with a mounting clip for fixing the square probe card, one of the square probe card and the chuck is provided with at least two positioning blocks, the positioning blocks are staggered in the clamping direction of the mounting clip, and the other is provided with a positioning hole adapted to the positioning block. The square probe card is positioned relative to the chuck in a first direction and a second direction through the cooperation of the positioning block and the positioning hole. The mounting clip presses and fixes the square probe card on the chuck, etc.
[0004] However, in the aforementioned comparative documents, the positioning components are installed and replaced using bolt connections.

[0028] Reference Figure 1-4 A positioning device latching mechanism includes a chuck 1, a mounting plate 4 on the chuck 1, a mounting clip 2 fixedly connected to the mounting plate 4, and a positioning block 3 fixedly connected to the top of the mounting clip 2. The mounting clip 2, positioning block 3, and mounting plate 4 are a positioning device for positioning a square probe card. A latching assembly 5 is provided on the mounting plate 4. The latching assembly 5 is used to realize quick installation and quick removal of the positioning assembly. The latching assembly 5 includes a circular tube 502. A connecting groove 501 is opened on the chuck 1 for receiving the circular tube 502. The connecting groove 501 of the chuck 1 fits against the outer wall of the circular tube 502. A first spring 505 is fixedly connected to the inner wall of the circular tube 502. A telescopic rod 504 is fixedly connected to the top of the spring 505. The first spring 505 is used to reset the telescopic rod 504 after it is pressed. The rotating block 503 is used to facilitate pressing the telescopic rod 504. The telescopic rod 504 is slidably connected to the round tube 502. The rotating block 503 is fixedly connected to the top of the telescopic rod 504. A flipping rod 506 is hinged to the bottom of the telescopic rod 504. A fixing rod 507 is hinged to one end of the flipping rod 506. The fixing rod 507 is slidably connected to the round tube 502. Pressing the rotating block 503 drives the fixing rod 507 to move through the flipping rod 506. The fixing rod 507 can be inserted into the chuck 1 to fix the mounting plate 4.
[0029] Reference Figure 4 The inner wall of the round tube 502 has a groove 6. A baffle 8 is fixedly connected to the round tube 502 through the groove 6. A fixing block 7 is fixedly connected to the rotating block 503. The outer wall of the fixing block 7 fits into the groove 6 of the round tube 502. The baffle 8 is used to block the fixing block 7, so that the fixing block 7 and the groove 6 are connected. Thus, through the connection between the groove 6 and the fixing block 7, the rotating block 503 and the telescopic rod 504 are pressed and reset.
[0030] Reference Figure 4The round tube 502 is fixedly connected to the magnetic block 9 through the groove 6. One side of the magnetic block 9 is in contact with one side of the fixing block 7. The magnetic block 9 is used to fix the fixing block 7. When it is not necessary to press the rotating block 503, the fixing block 7 can be fixed by the magnetic block 9 to prevent the fixing block 7 from shaking during use.
[0031] Reference Figure 2 The chuck 1 has a slot 10 on its top and a plug 11 is fixedly connected to the bottom of the mounting plate 4. The outer wall of the plug 11 fits into the slot 10 on the chuck 1. The cooperation between the slot 10 and the plug 11 can further limit the mounting plate 4 and prevent the mounting plate 4 from shaking during use, thereby avoiding affecting the use of the mounting clip 2 and the positioning block 3.
[0032] Reference Figure 3 The chuck 1 is fixedly connected to the second spring 12 via the connecting groove 501. The top of the second spring 12 is in contact with the bottom of the telescopic rod 504. The second spring 12 is used to further reset the rotating block 503 and the telescopic rod 504, thereby avoiding incomplete reset of the rotating block 503 and the telescopic rod 504, thus avoiding affecting the fixing effect of the fixing rod 507.
[0033] Reference Figure 4 The top outer wall of the rotating block 503 is provided with an anti-slip groove 13. The anti-slip groove 13 is used to facilitate the rotation of the rotating block 503, thereby avoiding affecting the installation and disassembly efficiency of the positioning component.
[0034] Reference Figure 3 A sliding block 14 is fixedly connected to the outer wall of the round tube 502. The sliding block 14 is slidably connected to the mounting plate 4. The sliding block 14 is used to position the round tube 502 to prevent the round tube 502 from shifting position when it is installed into the connecting groove 501, thereby avoiding affecting the fixing effect of the fixing rod 507.
[0035] Working principle:
[0036] The positioning device's locking mechanism allows the operator to install the mounting plate 4 onto the chuck 1 when installation is required. After initial installation of the mounting plate 4, the round tube 502 can be inserted into the connecting groove 501. When the round tube 502 is inserted into the connecting groove 501, the operator needs to press the telescopic rod 504 using the rotating block 503. This, through the telescopic rod 504 and the flipping rod 506, causes the fixing rod 507 to retract into the round tube 502. After the round tube 502 is installed into the connecting groove 501, the operator releases the rotating block 503. At this time, the first spring 505 will cause the telescopic rod 504 to return to its original position. The fixed rod 507 is inserted into the chuck 1 to fix the mounting plate 4. After the mounting plate 4 is fixed, the operator rotates the rotating block 503 to disengage the fixed block 7 from the groove 6. When the positioning component needs to be disassembled, the telescopic rod 504 can be pressed by the rotating block 503. When the rotating block 503 needs to press the telescopic rod 504, the rotating block 503 can be rotated. When the rotating block 503 rotates, it will drive the fixed block 7 to rotate. When the fixed block 7 rotates, it will be blocked by the baffle 8. At this time, the rotating block 503 and the telescopic rod 504 can be pressed to disassemble the mounting plate 4 and its related components.
