[0027] 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 skilled in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0028] Please see Figure 1-5 This utility model provides a technical solution:

[0029] A probe holder suitable for a semiconductor chip testing system includes a cylindrical body 1. A geared disc 2 is rotatably mounted on the top of the cylindrical body 1, and a knob 3 is rotatably mounted on the top surface of the geared disc 2. A symmetrical box 4 is fixedly mounted on the side of the cylindrical body 1. Vertical rods 5 are rotatably mounted on each box 4, and geared discs 6 are fixedly mounted on the top of each vertical rod 5. The geared discs 6 are respectively meshed and connected to the geared disc 2. A worm gear 7 and a worm wheel 8 rotatably rotate inside the box 4. The shaft ends of the vertical rods 5 and worm gear 7 are fixedly mounted to each other. The worm gear 7 and worm wheel 8 mesh... The cylinder 1 is hollow and has a symmetrical lead screw 9 rotatably mounted inside it. The shaft ends of the lead screw 9 are fixedly installed to the shaft ends of the worm gear 8. A symmetrical movable plate 10 is slidably mounted inside the cylinder 1 and is threadedly connected to the lead screw 9. A uniformly distributed and symmetrical connecting rod 11 is slidably mounted inside the cylinder 1 and is fixedly installed to the movable plate 10 at its ends. A symmetrical arc strip 12 is provided inside the cylinder 1 and is located at the ends of the connecting rod 11.

[0030] When clamping probes suitable for semiconductor chip testing systems, the operator inserts the probe into the cylinder 1, positioning the probe tube between multiple sets of arc strips 12. The operator then rotates the knob 3 at the top of the cylinder 1. The rotation of knob 3 causes the gear disc 2 to rotate at the top of the cylinder 1. Since gear disc 2 is meshed with gear disc 6 at the top of the vertical rod 5, the rotation of gear disc 2 drives the two sets of gear disc 6 to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the two sets of gear disc 6 drives the vertical rod 5, which is fixedly mounted to it, to rotate on the housing 4. The rotation of the vertical rod 5 further... The worm 7 connected to its shaft end rotates, and the worm 7 meshes with the worm wheel 8 for transmission. The rotation of the worm 7 causes the worm wheel 8 to rotate inside the housing 4. The shaft end of the worm wheel 8 is fixedly installed with the lead screw 9. The rotation of the worm wheel 8 causes the lead screw 9 to rotate inside the cylinder 1. When the lead screw 9 rotates, the movable plate 10 threadedly connected to the lead screw 9 slides inside the cylinder 1. The sliding of the movable plate 10 causes the connecting rod 11 fixedly installed with it to slide inside the cylinder 1. The arc strip 12 at the end of the connecting rod 11 moves and moves closer to each other to simply fix the probe.

[0031] After fixing, the entire device is fixedly installed on the testing equipment through the cylinder 1;

[0032] This probe holder, suitable for semiconductor chip testing systems, can easily fix probes of different sizes, significantly improving the applicability of the device, saving time and effort, and is highly practical.

[0033] A padding strip is laid on the surface of the arc strip 12, and the padding strip is made of rubber.

[0034] When the arc strip 12 clamps the probe, the surface of the arc strip 12 is covered with a rubber pad. The rubber has good elasticity and friction. When the arc strip 12 approaches and contacts the probe, the pad can fit tightly against the probe surface, increasing the friction between the two and improving the stability of clamping the probe. At the same time, the rubber material is relatively soft, which can prevent the arc strip 12 from causing hard damage to the side of the probe, thus playing a protective role.

[0035] Each end of the connecting rod 11 is provided with a socket 13, and the arc strip 12 is fixedly installed with evenly distributed plug rods 14, the size of which is adapted to the size of the socket 13;

[0036] When the arc strip 12 needs to be replaced to adapt to different models of probes, the operator can directly pull the plug 14 out of the socket 13 to disassemble the arc strip 12. When installing a new arc strip 12, simply align the plug 14 on the new arc strip 12 with the socket 13 at the end of the connecting rod 11 and insert it. This makes it easy to disassemble and assemble the arc strip 12, and facilitates the replacement of different models of arc strip 12, effectively improving the applicability of the device.

[0037] A damper is provided between the insertion rod 14 and the socket 13;

[0038] A damper is provided between the insertion rod 14 and the socket 13. When the insertion rod 14 is inserted into the socket 13, the damper will generate a certain resistance. After the arc strip 12 is installed and fixed, the damper can prevent the insertion rod 14 from shaking or displacing freely in the socket 13. Even when the clamp is subjected to a certain vibration or external force, it can ensure that the arc strip 12 is stably installed at the end of the connecting rod 11, thereby improving the stability of the arc strip 12 after installation and fixation.

[0039] Damping is provided on the top side of the gear disc 2 and the cylinder 1;

[0040] The toothed disc 2 and the top side of the cylinder 1 are equipped with damping. When the toothed disc 2 rotates to the appropriate position so that the arc strip 12 clamps the probe, the damping will generate a force to prevent the toothed disc 2 from continuing to rotate. Even if it is subjected to some slight external force interference later, the toothed disc 2 will not easily rotate, thereby ensuring the stability of the position of a series of components associated with the toothed disc 2, and ultimately improving the stability of the arc strip 12 clamping the probe.

[0041] A support plate 15 is fixed to the side of the cylinder 1, and the vertical rod 5 is rotatably mounted on the support plate 15.

[0042] A support plate 15 is fixed on the side of the cylinder 1, and the vertical rod 5 is rotatably mounted on the support plate 15. During the rotation of the vertical rod 5, the support plate 15 can provide additional support force for the vertical rod 5, making the vertical rod 5 more stable during rotation and less prone to shaking or deviation, thereby improving the stability of the vertical rod 5 during rotation and ensuring that the related transmission structure can work normally and stably.

[0043] At least two sets of symmetrical arc bars 12 are provided;

[0044] When the probe is clamped, at least two symmetrical sets of arc strips 12 can apply force to the probe from multiple directions. The multiple sets of arc strips 12 work together to more comprehensively fit the probe surface compared to a single set of arc strips 12, so that the probe can be subjected to stable clamping force in all directions. This further improves the stability of the arc strips 12 clamping the probe, ensuring that the probe will not be displaced during the test and guaranteeing the accuracy of the test.

[0045] Working principle:

[0046] When clamping probes suitable for semiconductor chip testing systems, the operator inserts the probe into the cylinder 1, positioning the probe tube between multiple sets of arc strips 12. The operator then rotates the knob 3 at the top of the cylinder 1. The rotation of knob 3 causes the gear disc 2 to rotate at the top of the cylinder 1. Since gear disc 2 is meshed with gear disc 6 at the top of the vertical rod 5, the rotation of gear disc 2 drives the two sets of gear disc 6 to rotate synchronously. The rotation of the two sets of gear disc 6 drives the vertical rod 5, which is fixedly mounted to it, to rotate on the housing 4. The rotation of the vertical rod 5 further... The worm 7 connected to its shaft end rotates, and the worm 7 meshes with the worm wheel 8 for transmission. The rotation of the worm 7 causes the worm wheel 8 to rotate inside the housing 4. The shaft end of the worm wheel 8 is fixedly installed with the lead screw 9. The rotation of the worm wheel 8 causes the lead screw 9 to rotate inside the cylinder 1. When the lead screw 9 rotates, the movable plate 10 threadedly connected to the lead screw 9 slides inside the cylinder 1. The sliding of the movable plate 10 causes the connecting rod 11 fixedly installed with it to slide inside the cylinder 1. The arc strip 12 at the end of the connecting rod 11 moves and moves closer to each other to simply fix the probe.

[0047] After fixing, the entire device is fixedly installed on the testing equipment through the cylinder 1;

[0048] This probe holder, suitable for semiconductor chip testing systems, can easily fix probes of different sizes, significantly improving the applicability of the device, saving time and effort, and is highly practical.

[0049] in,

[0050] When the arc strip 12 clamps the probe, the surface of the arc strip 12 is covered with a rubber pad. The rubber has good elasticity and friction. When the arc strip 12 approaches and contacts the probe, the pad can fit tightly against the probe surface, increasing the friction between the two and improving the stability of clamping the probe. At the same time, the rubber material is relatively soft, which can prevent the arc strip 12 from causing hard damage to the side of the probe, thus playing a protective role.

[0051] When the arc strip 12 needs to be replaced to adapt to different models of probes, the operator can directly pull the plug 14 out of the socket 13 to disassemble the arc strip 12. When installing a new arc strip 12, simply align the plug 14 on the new arc strip 12 with the socket 13 at the end of the connecting rod 11 and insert it. This makes it easy to disassemble and assemble the arc strip 12, and facilitates the replacement of different models of arc strip 12, effectively improving the applicability of the device.

[0052] A damper is provided between the insertion rod 14 and the socket 13. When the insertion rod 14 is inserted into the socket 13, the damper will generate a certain resistance. After the arc strip 12 is installed and fixed, the damper can prevent the insertion rod 14 from shaking or displacing freely in the socket 13. Even when the clamp is subjected to a certain vibration or external force, it can ensure that the arc strip 12 is stably installed at the end of the connecting rod 11, thereby improving the stability of the arc strip 12 after installation and fixation.

[0053] The toothed disc 2 and the top side of the cylinder 1 are equipped with damping. When the toothed disc 2 rotates to the appropriate position so that the arc strip 12 clamps the probe, the damping will generate a force to prevent the toothed disc 2 from continuing to rotate. Even if it is subjected to some slight external force interference later, the toothed disc 2 will not easily rotate, thereby ensuring the stability of the position of a series of components associated with the toothed disc 2, and ultimately improving the stability of the arc strip 12 clamping the probe.

[0054] A support plate 15 is fixed on the side of the cylinder 1, and the vertical rod 5 is rotatably mounted on the support plate 15. During the rotation of the vertical rod 5, the support plate 15 can provide additional support force for the vertical rod 5, making the vertical rod 5 more stable when rotating and less prone to shaking or deviation, thereby improving the stability of the vertical rod 5 when rotating and ensuring that the related transmission structure can work normally and stably.

[0055] When the probe is clamped, at least two symmetrical sets of arc strips 12 can apply force to the probe from multiple directions. The multiple sets of arc strips 12 work together to more comprehensively fit the probe surface compared to a single set of arc strips 12, so that the probe can be subjected to stable clamping force in all directions. This further improves the stability of the arc strips 12 clamping the probe, ensuring that the probe will not be displaced during the test and guaranteeing the accuracy of the test.

[0056] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model, but the protection scope of the present utility model is not limited thereto. Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
