Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of chip programming technology, specifically to a programming socket assembly for an IC programmer. Background Technology
[0002] In the manufacturing and testing process of integrated circuits (ICs), programming is one of the key steps, used to write firmware or data into the chip's memory. The IC programmer is the core equipment for this process, and the socket assembly is the crucial component that enables the physical connection and electrical contact between the programmer and the chip. The performance of the socket assembly directly affects programming efficiency, yield, and ease of operation.
[0003] Before programming, the chip needs to be fixed in place. The "clamping" and "releasing" of the chip are two completely independent operation steps, separate from the "placing the chip" and "removing the chip" actions. The multi-step operation significantly increases the time for clamping and removing a single chip, especially in programming tasks that require frequent chip replacement or in high-volume production environments. The accumulated time loss is considerable. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a programming socket that can significantly simplify the operation process. Utility Model Content
[0004] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0005] This utility model is a programming socket assembly for an IC programmer, including a movable plate. The movable plate and a fixed plate are connected by an elastic support member. A base is installed on the fixed plate. Two sliders are slidably installed on the base. A cover is sleeved on the outside of the base and the sliders. Two sets of push blocks are provided on the lower surface of the movable plate. The push blocks are distributed correspondingly to the sliders. When the movable plate is pressed down, the push blocks push the sliders to slide outward.
[0006] The chip placed on the base is picked up by the suction cups on the robotic arm;
[0007] Meanwhile, two through slots are opened on the bottom surface of the base. The through slots are connected to the cavity of the base. The pins of the chip correspond to the through slots. The ejector pins on the circuit board pass through the through slots and contact the pins.
[0008] The fixing plate has several round holes, and the fixing plate is mounted on the circuit board by screws.
[0009] Furthermore, the movable plate has four first mounting holes, and the fixed plate has four second mounting holes, with elastic support members installed between the corresponding first mounting holes and second mounting holes;
[0010] Both the movable plate and the fixed plate are rectangular structures. The elastic support supports the movable plate while also limiting its direction of movement, ensuring that the movable plate falls horizontally.
[0011] Furthermore, the elastic support includes a screw, a first spring, and a nut. One end of the screw passes through a first mounting hole and a second mounting hole in sequence and is connected to the nut. At the same time, a first spring located between the movable plates is sleeved on the screw.
[0012] During the descent of the movable plate, the movable plate compresses the first spring. When no force is applied, the first spring pushes the movable plate back to its original position.
[0013] Furthermore, the middle part of the fixing plate is a through groove, and the base is installed in the through groove. The corner of the base is fixed to the right-angle groove provided on the fixing plate by screws.
[0014] Furthermore, the base has two oppositely distributed sliding grooves, the slider is located in the sliding grooves, the slider has a through groove, and the surface of the slider has a protrusion. The cover has two grooves, which are distributed corresponding to the screw. One side of the groove has a limiting protrusion, and a second spring is installed between the limiting protrusion and the protrusion.
[0015] Furthermore, the bottom outer side of the push block is provided with an inclined surface, which cooperates with the side of the through groove.
[0016] This utility model has the following beneficial effects:
[0017] In this invention, during the programming process, the slider clamps and limits the chip. After programming is completed, the movable plate is pressed down, and the pusher pushes the slider to slide outward, which facilitates the removal of the chip. The chip removal and clamping work is completed by reducing the number of operation steps.
[0018] Of course, any product implementing this utility model does not necessarily need to achieve all of the advantages described above at the same time. Attached Figure Description

[0031] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0032] Please see Figures 1-9 As shown, this utility model is a programming socket assembly for an IC programmer, including a movable plate 1, and the movable plate 1 and the fixed plate 2 are connected by an elastic support member 3.
[0033] A base 5 is installed on the fixed plate 2, and two sliders 6 are slidably installed on the base 5. A cover 4 is sleeved on the outside of the base 5 and the sliders 6.
[0034] Two sets of push blocks 102 are provided on the lower surface of the movable plate 1. The push blocks 102 are distributed correspondingly to the slider 6. When the movable plate 1 is pressed down, the push blocks 102 push the slider 6 to slide outward.
[0035] The chip placed on base 5 is picked up by the suction cup on the robotic arm;
[0036] Meanwhile, two through slots are opened on the bottom surface of the base 5. The through slots are connected to the cavity of the base 5. The pins of the chip correspond to the through slots. The ejector pins on the circuit board pass through the through slots and contact the pins.
[0037] The fixing plate 2 has several round holes, and the fixing plate 2 is mounted on the circuit board by screws.
[0038] During placement, the movable plate 1 is pressed down by the end of the robotic arm until it contacts the end face of the cover 4, and the two sliders 6 are pushed to slide outward, so that the chip can be placed in the cavity on the base 5. After placement, the movable plate 1 is reset under the action of the elastic support 3, and the reset sliders 6 press the side of the chip.
[0039] The movable plate 1 has four first mounting holes 101 and the fixed plate 2 has four second mounting holes 201. An elastic support 3 is installed between the corresponding first mounting holes 101 and second mounting holes 201.
[0040] Both the movable plate 1 and the fixed plate 2 are rectangular structures. The elastic support 3 supports the movable plate 1 while also limiting the direction of movement of the movable plate 1, ensuring that the movable plate 1 falls horizontally.
[0041] The elastic support 3 includes a screw 301, a first spring 302 and a nut 303. One end of the screw 301 passes through the first mounting hole 101 and the second mounting hole 201 in sequence and is connected to the nut 303. At the same time, the first spring 302 located between the movable plates 1 is sleeved on the screw 301.
[0042] During the descent of the movable plate 1, the movable plate 1 compresses the first spring 302. When no force is applied, the first spring 302 pushes the movable plate 1 back to its original position.
[0043] The middle part of the fixing plate 2 is a through groove, and the base 5 is installed in the through groove. The corner of the base 5 is fixed in the right-angle groove provided on the fixing plate 2 by screws.
[0044] The base 5 has two oppositely distributed grooves 501. The slider 6 is located in the groove 501. The slider 6 has a through groove 601 and a protrusion 602 on its surface. The cover 4 has two grooves 401, which are distributed correspondingly to the screw 301. A limiting protrusion 402 is provided on one side of the groove 401. A second spring 7 is installed between the limiting protrusion 402 and the protrusion 602.
[0045] The bottom outer side of the push block 102 is provided with an inclined surface, which matches the side of the through groove 601.
[0046] like Figure 9 As shown, during the descent of the movable plate 1, the push block 102 moves synchronously with it until the bottom end of the push block 102 is fully inserted into the interior of the through groove 601. When the push block 102 moves along the inclined surface of the port side of the through groove 601, the slider 6 gradually slides outward, and the protrusion 602 compresses the second spring 7, which facilitates the removal of the chip inside the base 5.
[0047] When no force is applied, the second spring 7 pushes the slider 6 to reset.
