[0027] The technical solutions of the present invention will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0028] This embodiment provides a multi-channel chip testing mechanism, such as... Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the device includes a workbench 1, on which a test assembly 2 for testing chips is provided. The test assembly 2 includes a test base 20, on which a feed channel 201 is provided. Multiple feed channels 201 are distributed around the test base 20, and each feed channel 201 is connected to a feeding conveyor 3 for conveying chips.
[0029] In addition, a transfer receiving component is provided on the workbench 1. The transfer receiving component is located at the convergence point of multiple feeding conveyors 3. It is used to receive the chips to be tested from the feeding conveyors 3 one by one. After the transfer receiving component receives the chip to be tested, it can move the chip to be tested to the test component 2, and then test the chip through the test component 2.
[0030] Furthermore, the transfer receiving component includes a receiving device 10 for receiving chips to be tested one by one from the feeding conveyor 3. The receiving device 10 includes a base plate 100, a rotating shaft 101 and a mounting plate 102 arranged opposite to it on the top of the base plate 100. Multiple rotating shafts 101 are arranged along the length direction of the mounting plate 102, and a conveyor belt 103 is wound around the multiple rotating shafts 101. In addition, the receiving device 10 also includes a first drive motor 104. The output shaft of the first drive motor 104 is connected to one of the rotating shafts 101. When the first drive motor 104 rotates, the first drive motor 104 can drive the rotating shaft 101 to rotate, thereby driving the conveyor belt 103 on the rotating shaft 101 to move, so that after the receiving device 10 receives the chip to be tested, it can drive the chip to be tested to move to a predetermined position.
[0031] Furthermore, the relay receiving component also includes a power unit 11 for driving the receiving device 10 and moving the chip on the receiving device 10 to the testing component 2. The power unit 11 includes a bearing 110 disposed in the worktable 1, and a lifting cylinder 111 is rotatably mounted on the bearing 110. The output shaft of the lifting cylinder 111 extends out of the worktable 1 and is connected to the base plate 100. When the receiving device 10 receives the chip to be tested, the lifting cylinder 111 can drive the receiving device 10 to rise, thereby moving the chip to be tested to the testing component 2.
[0032] In addition, the power unit 11 also includes a rotating component for driving the lifting cylinder 111 to rotate circumferentially around the shaft seat 110. The rotating component includes a second drive motor 112, with a drive gear 113 sleeved on the output shaft of the second drive motor 112, and a driven gear 114 meshing with the drive gear 113 sleeved on the main body of the lifting cylinder 111. By setting the rotating component, when one of the feeding conveyors 3 has finished feeding, the rotating component can drive the lifting cylinder 111 to rotate around the shaft seat 110, so that the receiving device 10 can receive the chips from other feeding conveyors 3.
[0033] Furthermore, the feeding and conveying device 3 includes a first support frame 30, and a first belt conveyor 31 is provided on the top of the first support frame 30. A chip placement seat 5 is placed on the first belt conveyor 31, and the chip to be tested is placed in the chip placement seat 5. It should be noted that the chip placement seat 5 has multiple chip slots 50 for placing chips along its height direction. The chip slots 50 are arranged linearly and their size decreases from top to bottom. This design allows the chip placement seat 5 to adapt to chips of different sizes, improving the practicality of the device.
[0034] In addition, the conveying surface of the first belt conveyor 31 is provided with limiting protrusions 32, and the two limiting protrusions 32 extend along the conveying direction of the first belt conveyor 31. The chip placement seat 5 is located between the two limiting protrusions 32. This design can prevent the chip placement seat 5 from shifting laterally during the conveying process, so that it always travels stably along the conveying direction of the first belt conveyor 31.
[0035] In use, after the chip holder 5 containing the chip is conveyed to the receiving device 10 by the first belt conveyor 31, the power unit 11 drives the chip holder 5 to move upward, causing part of the chip holder 5 to pass through the test holder 20. In order to allow the chip holder 5 to pass smoothly through the test holder 20, a through hole 202 is provided at the top of the test holder 20, and the size of this through hole 202 is slightly larger than the size of the chip holder 5.
[0036] In addition, the chip placement base 5 has outwardly extending pins 51 at both ends. The inner wall of the through hole 202 of the test base 20 is provided with test claws corresponding to the pins 51. When the top of the chip placement base 5 passes through the through hole 202 and exits the test base 20, the pins 51 contact the test claws to achieve an electrical connection between the chip and the test base 20.
[0037] Furthermore, the test assembly 2 also includes a pressing device 21, which is used to apply downward pressure to the chip placed in the chip placement seat 5 after the chip placement seat 5 extends out of the test seat 20, so as to prevent the chip placement seat 5 from shaking due to equipment shaking, thereby causing test failure.
[0038] The pressing device 21 includes a mounting frame 211 mounted on the worktable 1. A first fixing plate 212 is provided on the mounting frame 211, and a pressing member is provided on the first fixing plate 212. The pressing member includes a drive rod 213, a connecting rod 214, a first pressing rod 215, and a second pressing rod 216. One end of the drive rod 213 is hinged to the first fixing plate 212. The first pressing rod 215 is located below the drive rod 213 and is connected to the drive rod 213 through the connecting rod 214. The second pressing rod 216 is located at the bottom of the first pressing rod 215 and is used to press the chip placed in the chip slot 50. It should be noted that the cross-sectional dimensions of the second pressing rod 216 are adapted to the slot opening size of the smallest chip slot 50 in the chip placement seat 5 so that it can press the chip in the smallest chip slot 50.
[0039] In addition, the pressing device 21 also includes a guide sleeve 217, which is disposed on the first fixed plate 212, and the first pressing rod 215 passes through the guide sleeve 217 along the height direction of the guide sleeve 217. With this design, when the driving rod 213 drives the first pressing rod 215 to move, the first pressing rod 215 can make linear motion under the action of the guide sleeve 217.
[0040] Furthermore, the test assembly 2 also includes a visual positioning device 22, which includes a second fixing plate 221 and a positioning camera 222. The second fixing plate 221 is fixedly mounted on the mounting bracket 211, and the positioning camera 222 is rotatably mounted on the second fixing plate 221 with its lens facing the test base 20. In this design, when the receiving device 10 receives the chip placement base 5, the positioning camera 222 identifies the position of the chip placement base 5 and sends a signal to the receiving device 10 and the power device 11 to drive the receiving device 10 and the power device 11 to correct the position of the chip placement base 5, so that it can smoothly pass through the through hole 202 of the test base 20.
[0041] Furthermore, the multi-channel chip testing mechanism also includes a feeding conveyor 4 for unloading the chip after testing. The feeding conveyor 4 includes a second support frame 40 and a second belt conveyor 41 located on top of the second support frame 40. The test stand 20 is also provided with a discharge channel 203, which is connected to the feeding conveyor 4. In use, after the chip in the chip placement seat 5 has completed testing, the power unit 11 of the transfer receiving component drives the receiving device 10 to remove the chip placement seat 5 from the through hole 202 of the test stand 20. Then, it drives the lifting cylinder 111 to rotate so that the receiving device 10 is aligned with the discharge channel 203 of the test stand 20. Finally, the first drive motor 104 in the receiving device 10 drives the rotating shaft 101 to rotate. The rotation of the rotating shaft 101 drives the conveyor belt 103 to run, conveying the chip placement seat 5 from the discharge channel 203 to the second belt conveyor 41, which then conveys it to the unloading station.
