[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0015] This utility model provides a technical solution: like Figures 1-5 The optical inspection device for chip surface defects shown includes a worktable 1, an inspection component 2 rotatably mounted on the top outer wall of the worktable 1, an L-shaped inspection frame 6 fixedly connected to the edge of the top outer wall of the worktable 1, and an inspection probe 7 fixedly connected to the bottom outer wall of the inspection frame 6, with the inspection probe 7 located above the inspection component 2. A groove 9 is provided on the bottom outer wall of the worktable 1, and a drive mechanism for driving the inspection component 2 is installed on the inner wall of the groove 9.
[0016] In this embodiment, the detection component 2 on the top of the workbench 1 facilitates the placement of the chip, the detection probe 7 on the detection rack 6 facilitates the detection of surface defects of the chip, and a driving mechanism is set in the groove 9 to directly drive the detection component 2 to rotate, which facilitates continuous detection of the chip.
[0017] like Figures 1-2 The detection assembly 2 shown includes a detection disk 4 rotatably connected to the top outer wall of the worktable 1, and the top outer wall of the detection disk 4 has multiple equally spaced circularly distributed chip slots 5.
[0018] In this embodiment, the multiple chip slots 5 on the detection disk 4 facilitate the placement of multiple chips, and the detection disk 4 can be switched to detect chips when it rotates, thereby realizing continuous chip detection.
[0019] like Figures 3-4 The drive mechanism shown includes a second gear 12 rotatably connected to the inner wall of the top of the groove 9, and one end of the transmission shaft of the second gear 12 is fixedly connected to the detection disk 4. A servo motor 10 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the groove 9, and a first gear 11 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the servo motor 10. The first gear 11 and the second gear 12 mesh. A limit assembly 13 is installed on one side of the inner wall of the groove 9, and the limit assembly 13 includes a limit box 14 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the groove 9. An opening is opened on one side of the outer wall of the limit box 14, and a drive seat 15 is slidably connected to the inner wall of the opening. One end of the drive seat 15 is fixedly connected to a limit rack 16, and the limit rack 16 meshes with the second gear 12.
[0020] In this embodiment, when the chip is being tested, the servo motor 10 drives the gear 11 to rotate. When the gear 11 rotates, it drives the gear 2 to rotate. When the gear 2 rotates, it directly drives the detection disk 4 to rotate. When the detection disk 4 rotates, it switches the chip being tested, thereby realizing continuous chip testing.
[0021] like Figures 3-5The inner wall of the limit box 14 shown has two mounting rods 20 fixedly connected, and the outer walls of the two mounting rods 20 are each sleeved with a spring 17. An armature 18 is fixedly connected to one side of the outer wall of the drive seat 15, and an electromagnet 19 is fixedly connected to one side of the inner wall of the limit box 14.
[0022] In this embodiment, when the detection disk 4 is adjusted, the electromagnet 19 is energized and generates magnetism, directly attracting the armature 18 to move towards the electromagnet 19. At this time, the drive seat 15 compresses the springs 17 on the two mounting rods 20, thereby driving the limiting rack 16 away from the gear 2 12. At this time, the detection disk 4 rotates for adjustment. When the detection disk 4 is adjusted, the electromagnet 19 is de-energized and the two springs 17 are reset, directly pushing the drive seat 15 to extend, thus making the limiting rack 16 and the gear 2 12 mesh, ensuring the stability of the detection disk 4.
[0023] like Figures 1-2 The workbench 1 shown has two symmetrically arranged arc-shaped grooves on its top outer wall, and rollers 8 are rotatably connected to the inner walls of both arc-shaped grooves. A control panel 3 is fixedly connected to one side outer wall of the workbench 1, and the control panel 3 is electrically connected to the servo motor 10 and the electromagnet 19.
[0024] In this embodiment, the rollers 8 on the top of the workbench 1 provide auxiliary support for the detection plate 4, thus preventing the detection plate 4 from tilting after long-term use. The control panel 3 facilitates the control of the electrical components in the detection equipment.
