[0047] Reference Figures 1 to 6 The present invention provides a further description of an embodiment of a high-temperature resistant probe card leveling device.

[0048] A high-temperature resistant probe card leveling device includes a base 1, a balance component 2 mounted on the base 1 and rotatably connected to the base 1, a level monitoring instrument 3 mounted on the base 1 and fixedly connected to the base 1, a mounting plate 4 mounted on the balance component 2 and fixedly connected to the balance component 2, two fixing mechanisms mounted on the mounting plate 4 for fixing the probe card, and an adjustment mechanism mounted on the base 1 for adjusting the balance of the device.

[0049] refer to Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment, the fixing mechanism includes: a mounting part disposed on the mounting plate 4 for mounting the component; and an adjustment part disposed on the mounting part for balancing the device.

[0050] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 In a preferred embodiment, the mounting part includes: a mounting member 5, which is disposed on the mounting plate 4 and fixedly connected to the mounting plate 4; and two fixing posts 6, which are disposed between the mounting plate 4 and the mounting member 5 and fixedly connected to the mounting plate 4, and the fixing posts 6 are fixedly connected to the mounting member 5.

[0051] refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2 as well as Figure 3 In a preferred embodiment, the adjusting part includes: an adjusting bolt 7, which is disposed on the mounting plate 4 and the mounting component 5 and is rotatably connected to the mounting plate 4; and a pressure plate 8, which is disposed on the adjusting bolt 7 and is threadedly connected to the adjusting bolt 7.

[0052] In this configuration, the pressure plate 8 is used to press and fix the probe card, and the pressure plate 8 is also in contact with the fixing post 6 and can slide on the fixing post 6; the fixing post 6 is used to ensure the vertical movement of the pressure plate 8; the adjusting bolt 7 is used to drive the pressure plate 8 to move up and down by rotating itself, so that the pressure plate 8 can be adjusted in height.

[0053] refer to Figure 1 In a preferred embodiment, the adjustment mechanism includes: a mounting groove 9 disposed within the base 1 for mounting components; and a balancing part disposed within the mounting groove 9 for adjusting balance.

[0054] refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 as well as Figure 6 In a preferred embodiment, the balancing unit includes: an adjusting gear 10, disposed on the balancing member 2 and fixedly connected to the balancing member 2; an adjusting rack 11, disposed in the mounting groove 9 and slidably connected to the mounting groove 9; an adjusting strip 12, disposed on the adjusting rack 11 and fixedly connected to the adjusting rack 11; a fixing block 13, disposed in the mounting groove 9 and slidably connected to the mounting groove 9; a fixing bolt 14, disposed in the mounting groove 9 and threadedly connected to the mounting groove 9; and two springs 15, disposed between the base 1 and the mounting plate 4 and fixedly connected to the base 1, and the springs 15 are fixedly connected to the mounting plate 4.

[0055] In this configuration, the mounting groove 9 contacts the fixing bolt 14 at a threaded hole; the adjusting gear 10 rotates to drive the balancer 2; the adjusting gear 10 meshes with the adjusting gear 10 to drive the adjusting gear 10 to rotate by adjusting the movement of the rack 11; the adjusting strip 12 facilitates the movement of the adjusting rack 11; the fixing bolt 14 uses its position within the mounting groove 9 to press and release the fixing block 13. In the pressed state, the fixing block 13 and the adjusting gear 10 are in close contact to prevent the adjusting gear 10 from rotating; in the released state, the fixing block 13 and the adjusting gear 10 are not in close contact, and the adjusting gear 10 rotates freely. At the same time, lugs are provided on both sides of the fixing block 13 to prevent the fixing block 13 from rotating; the spring 15 is mainly used to support both sides of the mounting plate 4.

[0056] This device, through its adjustment mechanism, can horizontally adjust the probe cards installed on it, ensuring they are in a level position. Furthermore, this device offers a simple and user-friendly method for adjusting the probe cards' level. The device also includes a fixing mechanism that secures the probe cards, allowing for the fixing of probe cards of varying thicknesses. Once fixed, the probe cards are prevented from moving, ensuring the accuracy of subsequent horizontal adjustments.

[0057] Working Principle: When the device is in operation, the probe card is placed on the mounting plate 4. By rotating the adjusting bolts 7 on both sides, the adjusting bolts 7 move the pressure plate 8 until it contacts the probe card and firmly secures it. After securing the probe card, the tilt direction and angle are read from the balance monitor. Then, the fixing bolt 14 is loosened, releasing the fixing block 13 and preventing it from being in close contact with the adjusting gear 10. Next, the adjusting rack 11 is pulled, causing it to rotate the adjusting gear 10. The direction of pulling the adjusting rack 11 is opposite to the tilt direction. While moving the adjusting rack 11, the balance monitor is observed. Once balance is achieved, the fixing bolt 14 is rotated again to tighten it. When the fixing bolt 14 is tightened, it pushes the fixing block 13 into close contact with the adjusting gear 10, preventing the adjusting gear 10 from rotating. This completes the horizontal operation of the probe card.

[0058] The above description of the embodiments enables those skilled in the art to make or use the present invention. Various modifications to these embodiments will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art, and the general principles defined herein may be implemented in other embodiments without departing from the spirit or scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not to be limited to the embodiments shown herein, but is to be accorded the widest scope consistent with the principles and novel features disclosed herein.
