Abstract
Description
Technical Field

Common power devices include power semiconductor devices, specifically IGBTs (Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors).
[0003] In the power device testing production line, a special tray is required to place the device. When the device is placed on the tray in a skewed manner, it will increase the possibility of the device being skewed at the subsequent testing station. This will further lead to problems such as device pin interference with the related mechanisms of the testing equipment, device damage, false contact of probe busbars and other issues that cause errors. It will also increase the time cost of equipment maintenance and affect the normal operation of the device testing production line. Utility Model Content

[0010] When the carrier disk is positioned on the support substrate, the support plane is located inside the perforation and in contact with the lower plane of the substrate of the device. When the vacuum generating mechanism is activated, the device is in normal posture when the pressure detected by the pressure sensor is within the normal pressure range, and the device is in abnormal posture when the pressure of the pressure sensor is higher than the normal pressure range.
[0011] As a further improvement to the above technical solution:
[0012] The detection section is a block-shaped structure protruding from the upper surface of the support substrate. There are multiple detection sections, and more than or equal to three. The multiple detection sections are distributed circumferentially along the inner wall surface of the perforation. The support surfaces of the multiple detection sections are all coplanar. The positions of the three detection sections form a triangle. The suction port is a cylindrical hole. One end of the suction port penetrates the support plane, and the other end of the suction port is connected to the connecting pipe.

[0015] The support structure further includes a support base, the support substrate is fixedly mounted on the support base, and the vacuum generating mechanism is fixedly mounted on the support base.
[0016] The support base is a box-type structure. The side plate of the box-type structure supports and connects to the support base plate. The vacuum generating mechanism is located inside the box-type structure. A second connecting channel is provided on the side plate. One end of the second connecting channel is located on the end face of the side plate and is sealed and connected to the first connecting channel.

The support substrate is equipped with a detection part and a suction port is provided on the support plane where the detection part contacts the device surface. The device's placement posture is judged by evacuating a vacuum at the suction port to determine whether the device is in good contact with the support plane.

[0049] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.
[0050] Example 1:
[0051] like Figures 1-8 As shown, the placement posture detection device for power devices before reactive power aging test in this embodiment includes a support structure 3, a vacuum generating mechanism 4, a connecting pipe connected to the vacuum generating mechanism 4, and a pressure sensor connected to the connecting pipe. The support structure 3 includes a support base plate 33, a detection part 31, and a suction port 311.
[0052] The support substrate 33 is used to position the support tray 2. The tray 2 is used to position the support device 1. The tray 2 has a through hole 21 in the middle that penetrates the upper and lower surfaces of the tray 2.
[0053] The detection unit 31 is fixed on the upper surface of the support substrate 33. The upper end surface of the detection unit 31 forms a support plane 310 corresponding to the lower plane of the substrate of the device 1. The support plane 310 contacts the substrate surface of the device 1 to vertically position the device 1.
[0054] A suction port 311 is provided on the detection unit 31. One end of the suction port 311 passes through the support plane 310, and the other end of the suction port 311 is connected to the connecting pipe.
[0055] When the carrier disk 2 is positioned on the support substrate 33, the support plane 310 is located inside the perforation 21 and contacts the lower plane of the substrate of the device 1. When the vacuum generating mechanism 4 is activated, the device 1 is in normal posture when the pressure detected by the pressure sensor is within the normal pressure range, and the device 1 is in abnormal posture when the pressure of the pressure sensor is higher than the normal pressure range.
[0056] Specifically, the support substrate 33 can be fixedly set at the loading station to ensure that the device 1 is in the correct posture after loading. Otherwise, the test system will issue an alarm. The pressure sensor is a vacuum gauge, which is connected to the control system signal of the test system. The value of the normal pressure range depends on the specific requirements. When the pressure measured by the pressure sensor is high, it means that the suction port 311 is not completely blocked, that is, the support plane 310 is not in contact with the detection part 31. The vacuum generating mechanism 4 is a vacuum generator or a vacuum pump.
[0057] A first positioning pin 313 is provided on the support plane 310 or on the carrier plate 2, and a first positioning hole 11 corresponding to the first positioning pin 313 is provided on the substrate of the device 1 for positioning the device 1 in the horizontal direction.
[0058] In addition, the support substrate 33 is provided with a second positioning pin 331, and the carrier 2 is provided with a second positioning hole 22 corresponding to the second positioning pin 331 for positioning the carrier 2.
[0059] The carrier plate 2 of the device 1 is positioned by setting a support substrate 33 at a fixed station. The support substrate 33 is provided with a detection part 31. A suction port 311 is provided on the support plane 310 where the detection part 31 contacts the device 1. The device 1 is judged to be in good contact with the support plane 310 by evacuating a vacuum at the suction port 311. This reduces the failure rate during the test process and improves the efficiency of the test production process.
[0060] The pressure sensor of the attitude detection device in this embodiment has a certain detection range and is more sensitive than detection methods such as microswitches and switch needles. It can detect some minor tilts and improve the sensitivity and accuracy of attitude detection. In addition, the microswitches and switch needles have spring mechanisms inside, and the replacement cost of microswitches and switch needles is relatively high.
[0061] In this embodiment, the detection part 31 is a block structure protruding from the upper surface of the support substrate 33. There are multiple detection parts 31, and more than or equal to three. The multiple detection parts 31 are distributed circumferentially along the inner wall surface of the through hole 21. The support surfaces of the multiple detection parts 31 are all coplanar. The positions of the three detection parts 31 form a triangle. The suction port 311 is a cylindrical hole. One end of the suction port 311 penetrates the support plane 310, and the other end of the suction port 311 is connected to the connecting pipe.
[0062] Specifically, such as Figure 3 As shown, there are four detection units 31, which are integrally formed with the support substrate 33. The detection units 31 are located at the vertices of the same rectangle, which corresponds to the lower plane of the outer periphery of the bottom of the substrate of the device 1.
[0063] Multiple block-shaped detection units 31 are set up using a multi-point stable support method to reduce the power of the vacuum system and interference from other factors, thereby improving the detection sensitivity.
[0064] Example 2:
[0065] Based on Example 1, the placement posture detection device for power devices before reactive power aging test in this example has a detailed design of the connecting pipeline, making the posture detection device miniaturized and simple in structure.

[0067] It also includes a first connection channel 36 located inside the support substrate 33. One end of the first connection channel 36 is connected to the internal channel 32, and the other end of the first connection channel 36 passes through the lower surface of the support substrate 33 and is connected to the suction port 311 of the vacuum generating mechanism 4.
[0068] By placing the connecting pipes inside the support base plate 33, the number of external pipe joints and pipe connections is reduced, making the attitude detection device smaller and simpler in structure.
[0069] Furthermore, the support structure 3 also includes a support base 37, on which the support substrate 33 is fixedly mounted, and on which the vacuum generating mechanism 4 is fixedly mounted.
[0070] The support base 37 is a box-type structure. The side plate 371 of the box-type structure supports and connects to the support base plate 33. The vacuum generating mechanism 4 is located inside the box-type structure. The side plate 371 is provided with a second connecting channel 34. One end of the second connecting channel 34 is located on the end face of the side plate 371 and is sealed and connected to the first connecting channel 36. The other end of the second connecting channel 34 is located on the side of the side plate 371 and is equipped with a pipe connector 35. The pipe connector 35 is connected to the suction port 311 of the vacuum generating mechanism 4 through an air pipe.
[0071] The second connecting channel 34 is L-shaped and is machined by two intersecting holes.
[0072] A box-type support base 37 is provided to house the vacuum generating mechanism 4, so that the vacuum generating mechanism 4 is not exposed, and the appearance structure of the attitude detection device is simpler.
[0073] like Figure 5 As shown, the end face of the side plate 371 is provided with a first groove, and a first sealing ring 343 is installed in the first groove. The first sealing ring 343 seals the second connecting channel 34 and the first connecting channel 36 together.
[0074] Specifically, when the support substrate 33 is fixedly installed on the support base 37, the first sealing ring 343 is located on the outer periphery of the end of the first connecting channel 36, connecting the first connecting channel 36 with the second connecting channel 34.
[0075] Specifically, the internal channel 32 includes a first through hole 321 and a second through hole 323, both of which are blocked at both ends. The first through hole 321 and the second through hole 323 are parallel and located on both sides of the through hole 21 respectively. It also includes a first blind hole 322, which blocks the opening. The first blind hole 322 connects the first through hole 321 and the second through hole 323. The first connecting channel 36 includes a second blind hole that communicates with the first blind hole 322. The opening of the second blind hole is located on the lower surface of the support substrate 33 and is sealed to the second connecting channel 34 through the first sealing ring 343.
[0076] Among them, some of the multiple suction ports 311 are connected to the first through hole 321, and the remaining parts are connected to the second through hole 323.
[0077] Specifically, the first through hole 321 and the second through hole 323 are machined and plugs are installed at both ends; the first blind hole 322 is machined and plugs are installed at the opening; the second blind hole is machined.
[0078] The suction port 311 and the suction pipe are distributed on both sides of the device 1 to make the suction force of the airflow uniform and improve the stability of the detection device.
[0079] Furthermore, a second groove is provided on the support plane 310 of the detection unit 31, and a second sealing ring 312 is installed in the second groove. The end of the suction port 311 is located in the inner ring of the second sealing ring 312, and the second sealing ring 312 corresponds to the lower plane of the substrate of the device 1.
[0080] A second sealing ring 312 is installed at the suction port 311 to further improve the sensitivity of the detection.
[0081] Example 3:
[0082] The power device reactive power aging test system of this embodiment includes the placement posture detection device for power devices before reactive power aging test as described in any of the above embodiments.
[0083] The testing process is as follows:
[0084] The device 1 is manually placed on the carrier 2 on the support substrate 33;
[0085] Start vacuum generating mechanism 4;
[0086] Airflow enters the internal channel 32 inside the support substrate 33 from the suction port 311, then enters the second connection channel 34 on the side plate 371 of the support base 37 through the first connection channel 36 on the support substrate 33, and then enters the vacuum generating mechanism 4.
[0087] When the device 1 is in the correct orientation, all four suction ports 311 can be blocked, the second sealing ring 312 is pressed, and then the transport mechanism transports the tray 2 into the test equipment.
[0088] If the orientation of device 1 is incorrect, the detection device will issue an alarm prompting for adjustment.
