[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-3 An embodiment of this utility model provides a semiconductor processing testing device, including a conveyor frame 1. A conveyor belt 3 is arranged inside the conveyor frame 1. Positioning plates 13 are symmetrically arranged at the front and rear ends of the conveyor belt 3. A power box 14 is rotatably mounted on the outer side of each of the two positioning plates 13. A transmission plate 15 is fixedly installed on the side of the power box 14 away from the positioning plates 13. A motor cavity is arranged inside the power box 14 on the left side. An electric motor is fixedly installed inside the motor cavity of the power box 14, and the output end of the electric motor is fixedly connected to the positioning plate 13.

[0023] The automated transport of semiconductor devices is achieved through the conveyor belt 3 installed inside the conveyor frame 1, which is beneficial to the continuity and efficiency of the testing process. The positioning plates 13 symmetrically arranged above the drive conveyor belt 3 can position and clamp the semiconductor devices, ensuring that the semiconductor devices are fixed in position during the testing process and avoiding testing errors caused by positional deviation. Furthermore, the motor can drive the positioning plates 13 to automatically flip the semiconductor devices, realizing the detection of defects on both sides. In this way, the automated flipping mechanism can ensure the positioning of the devices during the testing process and improve the accuracy of the detection of defects on both sides during the testing process.

[0024] Furthermore, slots 101 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the inside of the conveyor frame 1, and fixed folding plates 16 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the conveyor frame 1. An electric cylinder 17 is fixedly installed on the inner side of the fixed folding plate 16. The push rod end of the electric cylinder 17 slides through the fixed folding plate 16 and is fixedly connected to one end of the transmission plate 15.

[0025] The slot 101 provides movement space for the push rod of the electric cylinder 17. The symmetrically arranged fixed folding plate 16 and electric cylinder 17 can drive the transmission plate 15 to move in translation, thereby driving the two positioning plates 13. The positions of the two positioning plates 13 can be flexibly adjusted according to the different sizes of semiconductor devices and testing requirements, which improves the versatility and adaptability of the testing device, better meets the testing requirements of semiconductor devices of different specifications, and increases its practicality.

[0026] Furthermore, a vertical plate 18 is fixedly installed on the top of the power box 14, and a guide post 19 is fixedly installed on one side of the vertical plate 18. One end of the guide post 19 slides through the fixed folding plate 16.

[0027] The upright plate 18 and the guide post 19 serve to guide and support. The guide post 19 slides through the fixed folding plate 16, enabling the power box 14 to maintain stable linear motion during movement and avoiding inaccurate positioning due to movement deviation.

[0028] Furthermore, side plates 20 are symmetrically fixedly installed on both sides of the conveyor frame 1, and an electric cylinder 21 is fixedly installed on the top of the side plate 20. The push rod end of the electric cylinder 21 slides through the side plate 20 and is fixedly connected to the fixed folding plate 16.

[0029] The side plate 20 provides a stable mounting position for the electric cylinder 21, ensuring the working stability of the electric cylinder 21. The push rod of the electric cylinder 21 is fixedly connected to the fixed folding plate 16, which allows the electric cylinder 21 to directly drive the fixed folding plate 16 to move up and down, thereby driving the positioning plate 13 to move up and down. This allows the positioning plate 13 to be driven to move up first when the semiconductor device is flipped, so as to ensure the stable flipping of the semiconductor device, ensuring the smooth progress of the test and increasing its practicality.

[0030] Furthermore, guide posts 22 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the electric cylinder 21. The lower end of the guide post 22 slides through the side plate 20 and is fixedly connected to the fixed folding plate 16.

[0031] The guide post 22 provides guidance for the fixed folding plate 16, enabling the fixed folding plate 16 to maintain stable linear motion during movement, thus increasing its practicality.

[0032] Furthermore, a support leg 2 is fixedly installed below the conveyor frame 1, and a mounting top plate 4 is fixedly installed in the middle of the top of the conveyor frame 1. The mounting top plate 4 is set as an inverted U-shaped plate. A U-shaped plate 5 is fixedly installed in the upper part of the interior of the mounting top plate 4, and a mounting plate 6 is fixedly installed below the U-shaped plate 5. A vision camera 7 is fixedly installed in the middle below the mounting plate 6. The vision camera 7 is electrically connected to the processor terminal of the testing device to facilitate visual inspection. Illumination lamps 8 are symmetrically fixedly installed on both sides below the mounting plate 6.

[0033] The inverted U-shaped mounting top plate 4 not only provides installation space for components such as the U-shaped plate 5 and mounting plate 6, but also has a certain protective function, preventing external objects from interfering with internal components. The visual camera 7 can capture image information of semiconductor devices in real time, providing support for defect detection. The installation of the lighting lamp 8 can provide illumination for the visual camera 7, ensuring that the camera can clearly capture the surface details of semiconductor devices, improving image quality and the accuracy of defect detection.

[0034] Furthermore, a belt roller 9 is provided on one side of the inside of the conveyor belt 3, and a belt roller 10 is provided on the other side of the inside of the conveyor belt 3. Multiple support rollers 11 are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the upper part of the inside of the conveyor belt 3. The belt roller 9, the belt roller 10 and the support rollers 11 are all rotatably connected to the conveyor frame 1. The front end of the conveyor frame 1 is provided with a drive motor for the belt roller 9. A support platform 12 is provided in the middle of the upper part of the inside of the conveyor belt 3. The support platform 12 is fixedly connected to the conveyor frame 1.

[0035] Multiple support rollers 11 are symmetrically arranged inside the conveyor belt 3 above, providing support for the conveyor belt 3 and preventing it from sagging during operation. This is conducive to the smooth operation of the conveyor belt 3. The setting of the support platform 12 further enhances the support strength of the middle part of the conveyor belt 3, enabling the semiconductor device to be tested stably, improving the reliability of the testing device and increasing its practicality.

[0036] Working principle: During use, the conveyor belt 3 is driven and supported by the belt roller 9, the belt roller 10 and multiple support rollers 11 to transport semiconductor devices. When the semiconductor device reaches the test position, two electric cylinders 17 drive two symmetrically arranged positioning plates 13 to move through the corresponding transmission plates 15 to complete the clamping and positioning of the semiconductor device. The vision camera 7 located in the mounting top plate 4, with the assistance of the lighting lamp 8, collects images of the front and back surfaces of the semiconductor device for defect detection and analysis. When it is necessary to flip the device during the test, the motor in the power box 14 drives the positioning plate 13 to automatically flip the semiconductor device. The lifting and adjustment function is achieved by the electric cylinder 21 driving the fixed folding plate 16 to ensure that the flipping action is smooth and reliable.
