Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application relates to the field of electronic component testing technology, specifically to a manual probe station and its light-emitting plate. Background Technology
[0002] Probe stations are mainly used in the semiconductor, optoelectronic, integrated circuit, and component quality testing industries. With technological advancements, components are becoming increasingly smaller, often integrating multiple components onto a single substrate to form the device under test (DUT). The probe station's primary function is to inspect the components on this DUT.
[0003] However, existing technologies lack effective monitoring of the current status of the probe station, such as whether the probe station is in a testing state or a maintenance state. This can easily lead to operators making mistakes that do not match the current status of the probe station, resulting in a decrease in detection efficiency. Utility Model Content
[0004] This application mainly provides a manual probe station and its light-emitting plate, which can avoid operator errors due to the inconsistency between the current state of the manual probe station and the actual operation, thereby improving detection efficiency.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, one technical solution adopted in this application is: to provide a light-emitting plate for a manual probe station, the light-emitting plate including an inner light-emitting surface and an outer light-emitting surface, the inner light-emitting surface being used to emit a first color light or be in an off state according to the current state of the manual probe station, and the outer light-emitting surface being used to emit a second color light of a different color according to the current state of the manual probe station.
[0006] In one specific embodiment, the inner light-emitting surface is used to be in an off state when the current state of the manual probe station is the test state, and the outer light-emitting surface is used to emit a second color light of a certain color when the current state of the manual probe station is the test state.
[0007] In one specific embodiment, the inner light-emitting surface is used to emit the first color light when the current state of the manual probe station is the pre-test state and / or the post-test state, and the outer light-emitting surface is used to emit a second color light of a different color when the current state of the manual probe station is the pre-test state and / or the post-test state.
[0008] In one specific embodiment, the inner light-emitting surface is used to emit the first color light when the current state of the manual probe station is non-working, and the outer light-emitting surface is used to emit a second color light of a different color when the current state of the manual probe station is non-working.
[0009] In one specific embodiment, the first colored light is white light.
[0010] In one specific embodiment, the three second color lights are red light, green light, and yellow light.
[0011] In one specific embodiment, the light-emitting plate includes a first light-emitting body and a second light-emitting body arranged at intervals. The first light-emitting body includes a first sub-inner light-emitting surface and a first sub-outer light-emitting surface. The second light-emitting body includes a second sub-inner light-emitting surface and a second sub-outer light-emitting surface. The first sub-inner light-emitting surface and the second sub-inner light-emitting surface are arranged opposite to each other and together form the inner light-emitting surface. The first sub-outer light-emitting surface and the second sub-outer light-emitting surface together form the outer light-emitting surface.
[0012] In one specific embodiment, the light-emitting plate further includes a connecting body, which connects the first light-emitting body and the second light-emitting body respectively. The connecting body includes a third sub-inner light-emitting surface and a third sub-outer light-emitting surface. The first sub-inner light-emitting surface, the third sub-inner light-emitting surface, and the second sub-inner light-emitting surface are sequentially adjacent to each other and together form the inner light-emitting surface. The first sub-outer light-emitting surface, the third sub-outer light-emitting surface, and the second sub-outer light-emitting surface together form the outer light-emitting surface.
[0013] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, another technical solution adopted in this application is to provide a manual probe station, which includes a base, a test module and the light-emitting plate, wherein the test module and the light-emitting plate are respectively mounted on the base.
[0014] In one specific embodiment, the inner emitting surface of the light-emitting plate is positioned facing the test area of the test module.
[0015] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: Unlike the prior art, the light-emitting plate of the manual probe station provided in this application includes an inner light-emitting surface and an outer light-emitting surface. The inner light-emitting surface is used to emit a first color light or remain off depending on the current state of the manual probe station. The outer light-emitting surface is used to emit a second color light of a different color depending on the current state of the manual probe station. With this arrangement, on the one hand, the operator can monitor the current state of the manual probe station through the second color light emitted by the outer light-emitting surface, so that the operator can make reasonable use of the manual probe station according to its current state and avoid misoperation that does not conform to the current state of the manual probe station, thereby improving detection efficiency. On the other hand, when the inner light-emitting surface emits the first color light, it can also provide illumination for the operator. Attached Figure Description

[0025] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 1 This is a three-dimensional structural diagram of an embodiment of the manual probe station 10 provided in this application. The manual probe station 10 in this embodiment includes a base 11 and a test module 12.
[0026] The test module 12 is used to test the component under test. With the development of technology, the size of components is getting smaller and smaller. Multiple components are usually integrated on a single substrate to form the component under test. The test module 12 in this embodiment is used to test the components on the component under test. The testing method is usually to use a charged probe to conduct the positive and negative terminals of the component, and then judge whether the component under test is qualified based on the working condition of the component.
[0027] In practical applications, the operator first places the component under test (DUT) on the suction cup of the test module 12, allowing the suction cup to adhere to the DUT. Then, the probes of the test module 12 perform a continuity test on the components on the DUT. The drive mechanism of the test module 12 drives the microscope to the observation position, allowing the operator to observe the components through the microscope and determine whether the tested components are qualified based on their working condition. After the test is completed, the operator removes the DUT from the suction cup.
[0028] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 2 , Figure 2 yes Figure 1 A three-dimensional structural diagram of the light-emitting plate 13 is shown. In this embodiment, the manual probe station 10 also includes the light-emitting plate 13, which is mounted on the base 10.
[0029] The light-emitting plate 13 includes an inner light-emitting surface 131 and an outer light-emitting surface 132. The inner light-emitting surface 131 is used to emit a first color light or remain off depending on the current state of the manual probe station 10. The outer light-emitting surface 132 is used to emit a second color light of a different color depending on the current state of the manual probe station 10. With this configuration, on the one hand, the operator can monitor the current state of the manual probe station 10 through the second color light emitted by the outer light-emitting surface 132, so that the operator can make reasonable use of the manual probe station 10 according to its current state and avoid misoperation that does not match the current state of the manual probe station 10, thereby improving detection efficiency. On the other hand, when the inner light-emitting surface 131 emits the first color light, it can also provide illumination for the operator.
[0030] Optionally, the inner light-emitting surface 131 is turned off when the current state of the manual probe station 10 is the test state, and the outer light-emitting surface 132 is used to emit a second color light of one color when the current state of the manual probe station 10 is the test state.
[0031] For example, when the probe of the test module 12 performs a continuity test on the components on the test piece, no other operation is required from the operator, and therefore no lighting is needed. Thus, the inner light-emitting surface 131 can be turned off. At this time, the operator can know that the manual probe station 10 is in the process of testing by the second color light emitted by the outer light-emitting surface 132.
[0032] Optionally, the inner light-emitting surface 131 is used to emit a first color light when the current state of the manual probe station 10 is the pre-test state and / or the post-test state, and the outer light-emitting surface 132 is used to emit a second color light of another color when the current state of the manual probe station 10 is the pre-test state and / or the post-test state.
[0033] For example, when the operator knows from the second color light emitted by the outer luminous surface 132 that the current state of the manual probe station 10 is the pre-test state, it means that the manual probe station 10 has not yet started testing. At this time, the operator can place the test piece on the suction cup. At the same time, the inner luminous surface 131 emits the first color light to provide illumination for the operator to place the test piece. As another example, when the operator knows from the second color light emitted by the outer luminous surface 132 that the current state of the manual probe station 10 is the post-test state, it means that the manual probe station 10 has been tested. At this time, the operator can remove the test piece from the suction cup. At the same time, the inner luminous surface 131 emits the first color light to provide illumination for the operator to remove the test piece.
[0034] Optionally, the inner light-emitting surface 131 is used to emit a first color light when the current state of the manual probe station 10 is non-working, and the outer light-emitting surface 132 is used to emit a second color light of a different color when the current state of the manual probe station 10 is non-working.
[0035] Understandably, in this embodiment, the term "non-working state" is named to distinguish it from the aforementioned "test state," "pre-test state," and "post-test state." For example, in this embodiment, "non-working state" can be a fault state, maintenance state, or idle running state. For instance, when the "non-working state" is the maintenance state, if the operator knows that the manual probe station 10 is in the maintenance state based on the second color light emitted by the outer luminous surface 132, then the operator will no longer use the manual probe station 10 to perform testing work to avoid test failure. At this time, the inner luminous surface 131 emits the first color light to provide illumination for the operator's maintenance operation.
[0036] Optionally, in this embodiment, the first color light is white light, and the three second colors light mentioned above are red light, green light, and yellow light, respectively. It is understood that in other embodiments, the first color light and the second color light can also be other colors of light, and can be set according to actual needs, without limitation.
[0037] Optionally, the inner light-emitting surface 131 of the light-emitting plate 13 is arranged facing the test area of the test module 12. In this embodiment, that is, the inner light-emitting surface 131 of the light-emitting plate 13 is arranged facing the suction cup of the test module 12, which makes it more convenient to provide illumination for the operator.
[0038] Furthermore, in this embodiment, the light-emitting plate 13 includes a first light-emitting body 13a and a second light-emitting body 13b arranged at intervals. The first light-emitting body 13a includes a first sub-inner light-emitting surface 1311 and a first sub-outer light-emitting surface 1321. The second light-emitting body 13b includes a second sub-inner light-emitting surface 1312 and a second sub-outer light-emitting surface 1322. The first sub-inner light-emitting surface 1311 and the second sub-inner light-emitting surface 1312 are arranged opposite to each other and together form the inner light-emitting surface 131. The first sub-outer light-emitting surface 1321 and the second sub-outer light-emitting surface 1322 together form the outer light-emitting surface 132.
[0039] In this embodiment, the first light-emitting body 13a and the second light-emitting body 13b are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the test area of the test module 12. That is, when the first sub-inner light-emitting surface 1311 and the second sub-inner light-emitting surface 1312 both emit the first color light, they can simultaneously provide illumination for the operator.
[0040] Optionally, the light-emitting plate 13 further includes a connecting body 13c, which connects the first light-emitting body 13a and the second light-emitting body 13b respectively. The connecting body 13c includes a third sub-inner light-emitting surface 1313 and a third sub-outer light-emitting surface 1323. The first sub-inner light-emitting surface 1311, the third sub-inner light-emitting surface 1313 and the second sub-inner light-emitting surface 1312 are sequentially adjacent to each other and together form the inner light-emitting surface 131. The first sub-outer light-emitting surface 1321, the third sub-outer light-emitting surface 1323 and the second sub-outer light-emitting surface 1322 together form the outer light-emitting surface 132.
[0041] Please refer to the following: Figure 1 and Figure 3 , Figure 3 yes Figure 1 A three-dimensional structural diagram of the switch box 14 is shown. In this embodiment, the manual probe station 10 also includes a switch box 14, which includes a box body 141 and a plurality of toggle switches 142. The box body 141 is mounted on the base 10.
[0042] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 and Figure 4 , Figure 4 yes Figure 3 A three-dimensional structural diagram of the middle box body 1411 shows that the box body 141 has a receiving cavity 101, multiple mounting holes 102 and an air pipe opening 103, and the multiple mounting holes 102 and the air pipe opening 103 are respectively connected to the receiving cavity 101.
[0043] Specifically, the box body 141 includes a box body 1411 and a cover 1412. The box body 1411 has the aforementioned accommodating cavity 101, a plurality of mounting holes 102 and a cavity opening 104 communicating with the accommodating cavity 101. The cover 1412 covers part of the cavity opening 104 to form the aforementioned tracheal opening 103.
[0044] The box body 1411 includes a bottom wall 141a and a peripheral side wall 141b. The bottom wall 141a and the peripheral side wall 141b are connected to enclose and form the aforementioned accommodating cavity 101 and cavity opening 104. The peripheral side wall 141a has the aforementioned plurality of mounting holes 102.
[0045] Optionally, at least one side of the peripheral sidewall 141a is arc-shaped. For example, in this embodiment, the peripheral sidewall 141a is arc-shaped as follows: Figure 4 The top side is curved.
[0046] Furthermore, the bottom wall 141a includes a first sub-bottom wall 1411a and a second sub-bottom wall 1411b, and the peripheral side wall 141b includes a first sub-peripheral side wall 1411c and a second sub-peripheral side wall 1411d. The first sub-peripheral side wall 1411c and the first bottom wall 1411a enclose a first sub-cavity 101a and a first sub-cavity opening 104a, and the second sub-peripheral side wall 1411d and the second sub-bottom wall 1411b enclose a second sub-cavity 101b and a second sub-cavity opening 104a. b. The first sub-bottom wall 1411a and the second sub-bottom wall 141b are bent and connected, and the first sub-peripheral side wall 1411c and the second sub-peripheral side wall 1411d are bent and connected, so that the first sub-cavity 101a and the second sub-cavity 101b together form a receiving cavity 101, and the first sub-cavity opening 104a and the second sub-cavity opening 104b together form a cavity opening 104. The cover 1412 is placed on the first sub-cavity opening 104a, so that the second sub-cavity opening 104b forms a tracheal opening 103.
[0047] Please refer to the following: Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 , Figure 5 yes Figure 3 A cross-sectional view of the switch box 14 in the FF direction is shown. Each toggle switch 142 includes a switch body 1421 and a lever 1422. The switch body 1421 is disposed in the receiving cavity 101, which in this embodiment is disposed in the first sub-cavity 101a. The switch body 1421 has an air port 105. The lever 1422 is connected to the switch body 1421 and exposed to the box body 141 through the mounting hole 102. Multiple air ports 105 are respectively connected to the manual probe station 10 through the air pipe opening 103, which in this embodiment is connected to the test module 12.
[0048] In practical applications, multiple air ports 105 can be connected to air pipes, which in turn are connected to the air pump of the test module 12 through air pipe openings 103. The air pump drives the pneumatic devices such as the suction cup and drive mechanism of the test module 12 described above to work. In this embodiment, by integrating multiple toggle switches 142 on the housing 141, compared with the prior art, the operator only needs to operate different toggle switches 142 from one position, which improves the convenience and work efficiency of the operator.
[0049] It is understandable that the number of toggle switches 142 and mounting holes 102 can be set according to actual needs and is not limited. In this embodiment, four toggle switches 142 and four mounting holes 102 are used as examples.
[0050] Furthermore, the accommodating cavity 101 in this embodiment is also provided with a venting component 14a, which forms an air passage 106. Multiple air ports 105 are respectively connected to the air passage 106. The air passage 106 is connected to the manual probe station 10 through the air tube opening 103. In practical applications, the air passage 106 can be connected to the manual probe station 10 through an air tube. With this setting, only one air tube is needed, reducing the number of air tubes used.
[0051] Among them, multiple switch bodies 1421 extend along the direction of the air passage 106, that is, as shown in the figure. Figure 5 The A-axis arrangement shown is compact and neat.
[0052] Furthermore, the housing 141 is also provided with multiple switch labels 14b, each switch label 14b corresponding to each lever 1422. With this setting, the operator can determine which lever 142 needs to be turned on or off by the switch label 14b, which is clear at a glance and simple and convenient to operate.
[0053] Optionally, the multiple switch identifiers 14b can be different numerical numbers. For example, in this embodiment, the four switch identifiers 14b are the numerical numbers "1, 2, 3, 4".
[0054] The beneficial effects of this application are as follows: Unlike the prior art, the light-emitting plate of the manual probe station provided in this application includes an inner light-emitting surface and an outer light-emitting surface. The inner light-emitting surface is used to emit a first color light or remain off depending on the current state of the manual probe station. The outer light-emitting surface is used to emit a second color light of a different color depending on the current state of the manual probe station. With this arrangement, on the one hand, the operator can monitor the current state of the manual probe station through the second color light emitted by the outer light-emitting surface, so that the operator can make reasonable use of the manual probe station according to its current state and avoid misoperation that does not conform to the current state of the manual probe station, thereby improving detection efficiency. On the other hand, when the inner light-emitting surface emits the first color light, it can also provide illumination for the operator.
