[0028] Example 1

[0029] A resistivity monitoring chip for a four-probe resistivity meter, such as Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the device includes a disc 1 that can be placed on a test stage 9 of a four-probe resistance tester and multiple standard samples 3 with different resistance values. Multiple placement slots 7 are provided on the first side of the disc 1, and the multiple placement slots 7 are evenly distributed around the axis of the disc 1.

[0030] The multiple standard samples 3 with different resistance values ​​in this invention are cut from original samples with different resistance values, and each standard sample 3 is cut into a circle of the same size. The placement groove 7 on the disk 1 is also set to be circular, and the diameter of the placement groove 7 is the same as the diameter of the standard sample 3, ensuring that the standard sample 3 will not wobble in the placement groove 7. The standard samples 3 are evenly distributed around the axis of the disk 1, and there is a gap between each standard sample 3 to avoid mutual interference between adjacent standard samples 3.

[0031] The disc 1 is made of an insulating transparent acrylic sheet. When the disc 1 is placed on the test table 9, the first positioning protrusion 4 on the second side of the disc 1 can be seen through the first side of the disc 1, ensuring that the first positioning protrusion 4 can be accurately placed on the test table 9.

[0032] Multiple standard samples 3 are placed in the placement slots 7 on the disk 1, and then the disk 1 is transferred to the test stage 9 of the four-probe resistance tester. When the four-probe resistance tester performs the test, it can complete the continuous test of different resistance values ​​of different standard samples 3 at one time, avoiding the problem of low test efficiency caused by constantly switching standard samples 3 during the test.

[0033] The above are the basic embodiments of this utility model. Further improvements, optimizations, and limitations can be made based on the above to obtain the following embodiments:

[0034] Example 2

[0035] This embodiment is an improvement on embodiment 1. Its main structure is the same as embodiment 1, but the improvement lies in the following: to increase the friction of the peripheral wall of the disk 1 and prevent the disk 1 from falling off when moved, several protrusions 6 are provided on the peripheral wall of the disk 1. Alternatively, threads can be provided on the peripheral wall of the disk 1.

[0036] Example 3

[0037] This embodiment is an improvement on Embodiment 1. Its main structure is the same as Embodiment 1, but the improvement lies in the following: to further increase the accuracy of placing the disk 1 on the test table 9, several second positioning protrusions 5 are provided on the bottom of the disk 1, distributed around the first positioning protrusion 4. There are six second positioning blocks, allowing the operator to see the second positioning protrusions 5 on the second side of the disk 1 through the first side, ensuring that the second positioning protrusions 5 are accurately placed on the test table 9.

[0038] Example 4

[0039] This embodiment is an improvement on Embodiment 1. Its main structure is the same as Embodiment 1, but the improvement lies in the following: to further prevent damage or contamination of the standard sample 3 when moving the disc 1, a circular receiving groove 2 is provided on the first side of the disc 1, and the placement groove 7 is located at the bottom of the receiving groove 2. All standard sample 3 protrude from the placement groove 7 while remaining within the receiving groove 2.

[0040] Example 5

[0041] This embodiment is an improvement on Embodiment 1. Its main structure is the same as Embodiment 1, but the improvement lies in that all the standard samples 3 have the same size, and the diameter of the standard sample 3 is set to 19-21 mm. Alternatively, the diameter of the standard sample 3 may be 20 mm.

[0042] This utility model also provides a four-probe resistivity tester, and the following are embodiments of this four-probe resistivity tester:

[0043] Example 1

[0044] Four-probe resistivity meter, such as Figure 2 and Figure 4 As shown, the four-probe resistivity tester includes a base 8, a test platform 9 rotatably mounted on the base 8 with a fixed rotation angle, a probe assembly 12, and the aforementioned resistivity monitoring plate. The test platform 9 has a positioning hole 11 at its center, and the resistivity monitoring plate can be placed on the test platform 9. The first positioning protrusion 4 is inserted into the positioning hole 11.

[0045] A servo motor 13 is mounted on the base 8. The output shaft of the servo motor 13 is fixedly connected to the center of the bottom of the test platform 9. During the rotation of the output shaft of the servo motor 13, it can drive the test platform 9 to rotate. After the test platform 9 rotates to a suitable angle, the output shaft of the servo motor 13 stops rotating, and at this time, the angle of the test platform 9 is fixed. The servo motor 13 is conventional prior art in this field and will not be described in detail here.

[0046] The test platform 9 has a positioning hole 11 at its center. The positioning hole 11 cooperates with the first positioning protrusion 4 to fix the position of the disk 1.

The diameter of the test platform 9 is larger than the diameter of the disk 1, improving the stability of the support for the disk 1. When the test platform 9 actually tests the resistivity of the product, the product is in contact with the test platform 9, and the slots 10 provide some air venting while reducing the adhesion between the product and the test platform 9. The depth of the slots 10 is 1 / 4 to 1 / 5 of the thickness of the test platform 9, preferably 1 / 5 of the thickness of the test platform 9.

[0050] Example 3

[0051] This embodiment is an improvement on embodiment 2.

When the resistivity monitoring sheet is placed on the test platform 9, the second positioning protrusion 5 is inserted into the strip groove 10. In addition to its venting function, the strip groove 10 also has a positioning function. The first positioning protrusion 4 enters the positioning hole 11, and the second positioning protrusion 5 is correspondingly inserted into the strip groove 10, further increasing the stability of the disk 1 on the test platform 9 and preventing the disk 1 from twisting, which could lead to deviations in the test results.
