Detailed Implementation

[0016] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments. The embodiments of the present invention are given for illustrative and descriptive purposes only, and are not intended to be exhaustive or to limit the present invention to the disclosed forms. Many modifications and variations will be apparent to those skilled in the art. The embodiments were chosen and described to better illustrate the principles and practical applications of the present invention, and to enable those skilled in the art to understand the present invention and design various embodiments with various modifications suitable for a particular purpose.

[0017] like Figure 1-3 The carrier board shown includes a carrier board with an internal air cavity. The upper surface of the carrier board has several recessed test slots. A chip support that can be raised and lowered is set inside the test slot. A piston rod is connected to the bottom of the chip support. The piston rod extends through the bottom of the test slot and into the air cavity. Several pneumatic mechanisms corresponding to the test slots are installed inside the air cavity. The pneumatic mechanisms are connected to the piston rod that extends through the test slot. An air pipe communicating with the air cavity is installed on the outer wall of the carrier board. By adjusting the air pressure change in the air cavity, the pneumatic mechanisms are raised and lowered, which pushes the piston rod and the chip support to move up and down in the test slot.

[0018] Based on the above, before testing, air is injected into the air chamber through the trachea, increasing the air pressure inside the chamber. This pressure acts on the pneumatic mechanism, causing it to move upwards, which in turn pushes the piston rod to lift the chip holder from the test slot, making it easier to place the chip to be tested onto the chip holder. During testing, air is released through the trachea to reduce the air pressure inside the air chamber. The pneumatic mechanism then drives the piston rod and chip holder downwards, causing the chip holder to retract into the test slot and complete the positioning. Multiple test slots can perform the above operations simultaneously, enabling parallel testing of multiple chips.

[0019] The upper surface of the chip holder has a recessed work station groove to prevent the chip contact part from making hard contact with the chip holder. A ring-shaped rubber gasket is installed on the lower surface of the chip holder. When the chip holder moves into the test slot, a gap is left between the edge of the chip holder and the inner wall of the test slot to prevent hard contact damage to the chip pin bonding part.

[0020] Based on the above, the chip is placed on the chip holder, and the chip contacts do not directly contact the bottom of the test slot, avoiding contact wear caused by hard contact. During the lifting and lowering of the chip holder, the annular rubber gasket first contacts the bottom of the test slot to buffer the impact force of the holder descending. At the same time, the gap between the edge of the holder and the inner wall of the test slot prevents the chip pin bonding part from colliding with the slot wall, further protecting the chip. The design of the test slot, rubber gasket and gap forms multiple protections, effectively avoiding hard contact between the chip contacts and pins and structural components, reducing the risk of chip damage during the testing process, and improving chip safety.

[0021] The bottom of the test slot has a through channel, through which the piston rod extends into the air chamber. The connection between the piston rod and the chip holder is located inside the rubber gasket.

[0022] Based on the above, the piston rod passes through the channel to connect the chip holder with the pneumatic mechanism in the air chamber, ensuring that the pneumatic drive can be accurately transmitted to the holder. Since the connection is located inside the rubber gasket, when the holder descends, the rubber gasket contacts the bottom of the test slot before the connection, avoiding direct force on the connection and preventing gas leakage in the air chamber through the channel, thus ensuring air pressure stability.

[0023] The pneumatic mechanism includes a piston sleeve located inside the air chamber. Several piston sleeves of the pneumatic mechanism are located directly below the test slot. The top end of the piston sleeve is fixed to the top of the air chamber, and there is a gap between the bottom end of the piston sleeve and the bottom of the air chamber. A rubber piston block that can move up and down is attached to the inner wall of the piston sleeve.

[0024] Based on the above, when the air pressure in the air chamber increases, the gas enters the inside of the sleeve through the gap at the bottom of the piston sleeve, pushing the rubber piston block to slide upward along the inner wall of the sleeve; when the air pressure decreases, the rubber piston block slides downward under the action of external force, and the gas is discharged from the gap; the fixed position of the piston sleeve ensures that the lifting direction of the rubber piston block corresponds to the test slot, ensuring that the chip bracket is lifted vertically.

[0025] Furthermore, the fit design between the piston sleeve and the rubber piston block enhances the sealing performance, ensuring that the air pressure can effectively drive the piston block to move; the gap design facilitates gas flow, and together with the positioning function of the sleeve, it enables the pneumatic mechanism of each test chamber to work independently and precisely, improving the overall structural stability.

[0026] The bottom end of the piston rod is fixedly connected to the top of the rubber piston block. A return spring is connected to the bottom end of the rubber piston block. The bottom end of the return spring is fixed to the bottom of the air chamber. When the air pressure in the air chamber increases, the rubber piston block is pushed upward by the air pressure, stretching the return spring. At the same time, the piston rod drives the chip holder to rise. When the air pressure decreases, the return spring, in conjunction with the air pressure, causes the rubber piston block to return downward, driving the piston rod and chip holder to descend until the holder returns to the test slot. The spring force and the air pressure are balanced to ensure that the holder rises and falls smoothly.

[0027] Furthermore, the reset spring and air pressure work together to achieve automatic reset of the bracket, eliminating the need for additional drive components and simplifying the structure; the spring's buffering effect makes the bracket's lifting and lowering more stable, avoiding violent movements that could impact the chip.

[0028] An air pressure sensor is installed inside the air chamber. During the test, the air pressure sensor monitors the air pressure value inside the air chamber in real time and feeds the data back to the control system. When the air pressure reaches the preset value, the system stops inflating or deflating, and precisely controls the lifting height of the rubber piston block, thereby ensuring that the chip holder stays in the required position.

[0029] The inner wall of the test slot is equipped with supplementary lighting beads, and a ring of reflective sheets is also attached to the inner wall of the test slot. When the chip is being tested, the supplementary lighting beads are powered on and emit light, which directly illuminates the chip surface; at the same time, the reflective sheets reflect the scattered light back into the test slot, enhancing the overall brightness of the slot. This allows operators or testing equipment to clearly observe details such as the pin status and contact connection of the chip, facilitating accurate judgment of the chip's test status and reducing testing errors caused by insufficient light.

All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art and related fields based on the embodiments of this utility model without creative effort should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
