Detailed Implementation
[0025] This section will describe in detail the specific embodiments of the present utility model. The preferred embodiments of the present utility model are shown in the accompanying drawings. The purpose of the drawings is to supplement the textual description with graphics, so that people can intuitively and vividly understand each technical feature and the overall technical solution of the present utility model, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present utility model.
[0026] Reference Figure 1-4This utility model discloses a semiconductor chip screening device, which includes: a workbench 1, with slide grooves 13 at both ends of the upper right side of the workbench 1, a motor 6 fixedly connected to the rear right side of the workbench 1, a screw 10 rotatably connected to the inner side of the slide grooves 13, a slide rod 11 fixedly connected to the inner side of the slide grooves 13, a U-shaped frame 4 slidably connected to the inner side of the slide grooves 13, the U-shaped frame 4 being threadedly connected to the screw 10, the U-shaped frame 4 being slidably connected to the slide rod 11, and a coupling of the output shaft of the motor 6 passing through the workbench 1 and fixedly connected to the screw 10;
[0027] A fixing block 5 is fixedly connected to the upper right side of the U-shaped frame 4 at the center position. An industrial camera 18 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the fixing block 5. The industrial camera 18 can take pictures of the chip, and the qualified products and defective products can be distinguished by comparing the pictures.
[0028] A conveyor belt 2 is provided on the upper left side of the workbench 1. A motor 3 is fixedly connected to the left front end of the conveyor belt 2. The coupling of the output shaft of the motor 3 passes through the conveyor belt 2 and is fixedly connected to the transmission wheel on the inner side of the conveyor belt 2. The rotation of the motor 3 can drive the rotating surface on the inner side of the conveyor belt 2 to rotate, thereby completing the conveying of the surface object.
[0029] The upper end of the fixed block 5 is fixedly connected to the motor 8, and the upper end of the U-shaped frame 4 is fixedly connected to the partition 17 at the center position. The coupling of the front output shaft of the motor 8 passes through the partition 17 and is fixedly connected to the gear 14. The rotation of the motor 8 can drive the gear 14 to rotate.
[0030] A rack 16 is slidably connected to the inner side of the upper end of the U-shaped frame 4. A hole is opened at the upper end of the U-shaped frame 4. The lower end of the gear 14 passes through the hole on the inner side of the U-shaped frame 4 and engages with the rack 16. The rotation of the gear 14 can cause the rack 16 at the lower end to slide left and right on the inner side of the U-shaped frame 4, thereby driving the fixed block 15 at the lower end to move.
[0031] The lower end of the rack 16 is fixedly connected to a fixed frame 15. A hydraulic cylinder 22 is fixedly connected to the center of the inner side of the fixed frame 15. A hydraulic rod 23 is slidably connected to the lower end of the hydraulic cylinder 22. The hydraulic rod 23 is slidably connected inside the fixed frame 15. When the hydraulic cylinder 22 is activated, the hydraulic rod 23 can slide upward or downward.
[0032] The lower end of the hydraulic rod 23 is fixedly connected to a hollow block 24. The inner side of the hollow block 24 adopts a hollow structure. The lower end of the hollow block 24 is fixedly connected to a suction cup 21. The top of the suction cup 21 communicates with the hollow block 24. When the hydraulic rod 23 is pushed downward, the lower hollow block 24 and the suction cup 21 can move downward, thereby making the suction cup 21 contact the semiconductor chip.
[0033] An air pump 19 is fixedly connected to the left end of the inner side of the fixed frame 15. A hose 20 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the air pump 19. The hose 20 passes through the fixed frame 15 and is fixedly connected to the hollow block 24 and communicates with the hollow block 24. When the suction cup 21 contacts the semiconductor chip, the air pump 19 is activated. Under the operation of the air pump 19, the air pressure inside the hollow block 24 decreases, so that the suction cup 21 at the lower end can adsorb the semiconductor chip.
[0034] The upper end of the workbench 1 is fixedly connected to a placement frame 9, and the inner side of the upper end of the placement frame 9 is fixedly connected to a protruding frame 12. The lower end of the workbench 1 is fixedly connected to a table leg 7. The protruding frame 12 allows the semiconductor chip to be placed around it. The lower end of the semiconductor chip pin is hollowed out, which avoids damage to the semiconductor chip pin.
[0035] Working Principle: During operation, the semiconductor chip is placed on the upper end of the protruding bracket 12 inside the placement frame 9. The protruding bracket 12 keeps the lower end of the semiconductor chip pins in a hollowed-out state, avoiding damage to the semiconductor chip pins. After the chip is placed, motor 6 is started. The rotation of motor 6 causes the front screw 10 to rotate synchronously. Under the threaded connection, the U-shaped bracket 4 moves forward. The forward movement of the U-shaped bracket 4 causes the rear fixing block 5 to move forward synchronously, thereby causing the industrial camera 18 at the lower end of the fixing block 5 to move synchronously. The industrial camera 18 can take intermittent pictures during movement. The size of the chip can be identified through the pictures taken by the industrial camera 18. After all pictures are taken and compared, motor 6 will rotate in the opposite direction, causing the U-shaped bracket 4 to move backward to the frontmost position. At this time, motor 3 is started. The rotation of motor 3 causes the front gear 14 to rotate synchronously. The rotation of gear 14 causes the lower rack 16 to slide. The sliding of rack 16 drives the lower placement frame 9 to move. At this time, the inner side of the placement frame 9... Hydraulic cylinder 22 is activated, causing the lower hydraulic rod 22 to push the cutout block 24 and the lower suction cup 21 to contact the top of the chip. When the suction cup 21 contacts the chip, the vacuum pump 19 is activated. Under the action of the vacuum pump 21, the gas inside the cutout block 24 and the suction cup 21 is drawn out along the inside of the hose 20. Under atmospheric pressure, the chip is able to be adsorbed. At this time, hydraulic cylinder 22 pumps the internal liquid, causing hydraulic cylinder 22 to move upward, thereby causing the chip to move upward. Motor 6 is then activated, causing... The chip moves forward along the placement frame 9 until it reaches the upper end of the conveyor belt 2. Upon arrival, the vacuum pump 19 stops working, and external gas enters the hollow block 24 and the inside of the suction cup 21 through the hose 20, so that the internal and external pressures are balanced, allowing the chip to fall gently to the upper end of the conveyor belt 2. The rotation of motor 3 on the left side of the conveyor belt 2 causes the chip to move to the next working area. Through the cooperation of motor 2, motor 3, hydraulic cylinder and suction pump, the good chips at the upper end of the placement frame 9 are gradually transferred to the conveyor belt 2 to reach the next area.

However, the present utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of the present utility model.
