[0039] The following is combined Figures 1-6 The technical solution provided by this utility model will be described in more detail.

[0040] This utility model provides a chip testing fixture, including:

[0041] A tooling base 100 is mounted on a circuit board 500, and a chip placement slot 210 is provided on the tooling base 100.

[0042] Test pin 300 is disposed on the tooling base 100 and is electrically connected to the circuit board 500; and the test pin 300 is disposed around the chip placement slot 210 and can elastically abut against the chip placement slot 210.

[0043] A driving structure is provided to drive the test pin 300 to move or swing away from the chip placement slot 210.

[0044] The chip testing fixture provided by this utility model includes a fixture base 100, test pins 300, and a driving structure. The fixture base 100 is disposed on a circuit board 500, and the test pins 300 are disposed on the fixture base 100 and electrically connected to the circuit board 500. The fixture base 100 is also provided with a chip placement slot 210, in which the chip to be tested can be placed. The test pins 300 surround the chip placement slot 210 and can elastically abut against the chip placement slot 210. The driving structure is used to drive the test pins 300 to move or swing away from the chip placement slot 210. Thus, when the test pins 300 are driven away from the chip placement slot 210 by the driving structure, the chip can be placed into the chip placement slot 210. Then, the driving structure resets, and the test pins 300 can elastically abut against the chip to complete the chip test. The testing process is simple and fast, and can greatly improve the testing efficiency.

[0045] It should be noted that the test pin 300 can be elastically abutted against the chip placement slot 210. The elastic abutment can be achieved by the structure of the test pin 300 itself, or by other elastic structures, so as to ensure that the test pin 300 can switch between the elastic abutment state and the away state.

[0046] In some embodiments of this utility model, the test pin 300 includes a main body segment 310, an elastic segment 320, and a connecting segment 330. The connecting segment 330 is connected to the tooling base 100. The elastic segment 320 is disposed between the main body segment 310 and the connecting segment 330. The elastic segment 320 is used to drive the main body segment 310 to elastically abut against the chip placement slot 210.

[0047] In some embodiments of the present invention described above, the test pin 300 includes a main body segment 310, an elastic segment 320, and a connecting segment 330. The connecting segment 330 is connected to the tooling base 100 and electrically connected to the circuit board 500. The elastic segment 320 is disposed between the main body segment 310 and the connecting segment 330. The elastic segment 320 is used to drive the main body segment 310 to elastically abut against the chip placement slot 210. The driving structure can drive the elastic segment 320 to elastically deform, thereby moving the main body segment 310 away from the chip placement slot 210.

[0048] It is understood that when the elastic segment 320 deforms, the main body segment 310 moves away from the chip placement slot 210, and the chip can be placed into the chip placement slot 210; when the drive structure is reset, the elastic force of the elastic segment 320 can drive the main body segment 310 to elastically abut against the chip in the chip placement slot 210, thereby completing the chip test. The test process is simple and fast, and can greatly improve the test efficiency.

[0049] In some specific embodiments of this utility model, the elastic segment 320 has a U-shaped structure.

[0050] In some embodiments of this utility model, a pressing section 340 is further provided on the elastic section 320, and the driving structure is connected to the pressing section 340.

[0051] In some of the embodiments of this utility model described above, by setting a pressing section 340 on the elastic section 320, the driving structure drives the pressing section 340 to move, thereby driving the main body section 310 away from the chip placement slot 210, so as to place the chip into the chip placement slot 210 and complete the chip testing.

[0052] In some embodiments of this utility model, the driving structure includes a tooling cover frame 400, which is connected to the tooling base 100 and can move closer to or further away from the tooling base 100. A clamping block 440 is provided on the tooling cover frame 400, and the clamping block 440 is correspondingly provided with the pressing section 340.

[0053] In some embodiments of the present invention described above, the driving structure includes a tooling cover frame 400, which is connected to the tooling base 100 and is movable to move closer to or further away from the tooling base 100. A clamping block 440 is provided on the tooling cover frame 400, corresponding to the lower pressing section 340. When the tooling cover frame 400 is driven to move closer to the tooling base 100, the clamping block 440... When the pressing section 340 moves, the pressing block moves and drives the elastic section 320 to deform elastically, thereby driving the main body section 310 away from the chip placement slot 210. At this time, the chip can be placed in the chip placement slot 210. When the tooling cover frame 400 is driven away from the tooling base 100, the clamping block 440 separates from the pressing section 340, and the elastic section 320 resets, thereby driving the main body section 310 to elastically abut against the chip in the chip placement slot 210.

[0054] In some embodiments of this utility model, the clamping block 440 is provided with a ramp surface 450, which drives the tooling cover frame 400 to move closer to the tooling base 100, and the clamping block 440 can drive the pressing section 340 to swing outward from the chip placement slot 210.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention described above, the clamping block 440 is provided with a ramp surface 450, which drives the tooling cover frame 400 to move closer to the tooling base 100. The pressing section 340 moves along the ramp, thereby causing the pressing section 340 to swing outward from the chip placement slot 210, which in turn drives the elastic section 320 to swing outward, causing the main body section 310 to swing outward from the chip placement slot 210, thereby disengaging from the chip placement slot 210. At this time, the chip can be placed in the chip placement slot 210. When the tooling cover moves away from the tooling base 100, the clamping block 440 moves away from the pressing section 340. Under the elastic force of the elastic section 320, the pressing section 340 moves along the ramp to reset, and the main body section 310 resets to elastically abut against the chip in the chip placement slot 210.

[0056] In some embodiments of this utility model, the tooling cover frame 400 is provided with a positioning post 410, and the tooling base 100 is provided with a positioning groove 110, wherein the positioning post 410 is adapted to the positioning groove 110.

[0058] It should be noted that a positioning bolt 420 and a positioning nut 430 are provided between the tooling cover frame 400 and the tooling base 100. The travel between the tooling cover frame 400 and the tooling base 100 is determined by the positioning bolt 420 and the positioning nut 430 to ensure positioning accuracy.

[0059] In some embodiments of this utility model, an elastic element 460 is also provided on the positioning post 410, and the elastic force of the elastic element 460 is used to drive the tooling cover frame 400 and the tooling base 100 to move away from each other.

[0060] In some embodiments of this utility model described above, an elastic element 460 is provided on the positioning post 410. The elastic force of the elastic element 460 can drive the fixture cover frame 400 and the fixture base 100 to move away from each other. When it is necessary to place a chip, press the fixture cover frame 400 to move it closer to the fixture base 100 to compress the elastic element 460, thereby completing the chip placement. After the chip is placed, release the fixture cover frame 400, and the fixture cover frame 400 can automatically reset under the elastic force of the elastic element 460, making testing more convenient and faster, and greatly improving testing efficiency.

[0061] In some embodiments of this utility model, the tooling base 100 is further provided with a pin protection seat 130, which is disposed outside the test pin 300.

[0062] In some of the embodiments of this utility model described above, by setting a pin protection seat 130, which is located outside the test pin 300, the pin protection seat 130 can reduce dust ingress, effectively protect the pin, and prevent the test pin 300 from deforming.

[0063] In some embodiments of this utility model, the tooling base 100 is provided with a plug-in block 120, and the pin protection base 130 is provided with a plug-in groove 140, which cooperates with the plug-in block 120.
