[0002] In the field of semiconductor chip testing, high-simultaneous-test-count probe cards are key equipment for realizing the simultaneous testing of multiple chips, and their performance directly affects the testing efficiency and accuracy. As the integration of chips continues to increase, higher requirements are placed on the structural stability of probe cards, the reliability of PCB board installation, and the connection flexibility of connector boards. In existing probe cards, the connection plate and the substrate are directly fixed together. This makes the contact points prone to wear due to uneven force during insertion and removal, reducing connection reliability and service life. Furthermore, it is difficult to adapt to the connection requirements of different test equipment, limiting the versatility of the probe card. Therefore, improvements are needed to address these issues. Utility Model Content

[0005] Preferably, two rotating shafts are symmetrically rotatably mounted on the outer wall of the mounting ring. The opposite ends of the two rotating shafts are coaxially fixed with knobs. The shafts inside the mounting ring are threaded, and clamping frames are sleeved on the threads of the two rotating shafts. The clamping frames clamp the two sides of the PCB board respectively.

[0006] Preferably, a first spring connected to the inner wall of the mounting ring is fixed to both sides of the opposite sides of the two clamping frames, and a limit block is fixed to the opposite ends of the two rotating shafts.

[0007] Preferably, multiple probes are uniformly fixed to the bottom surface of the PCB board.

[0008] Preferably, the connecting plate has multiple connecting holes on its top surface and a guide frame fixed to the substrate at its lower end. The guide frame has guide grooves on both sides, and the connecting plate has a protrusion at its bottom end located in the guide groove.

This enables precise docking of the connecting plate with different testing equipment. Furthermore, the cooperation of the second spring on the bottom surface of the protrusion with the substrate provides cushioning during insertion and removal, reducing wear at the contact points caused by uneven force, improving connection reliability and service life. This allows the connecting plate to flexibly adapt to the connection requirements of different testing equipment. Ultimately, this solves the problem of uneven force during insertion and removal and easy wear at the contact points caused by the direct fixing of the connecting plate and the substrate in existing probe cards, improving the connection stability and efficiency of the probe card.

The clamping frames 6 clamp the PC respectively. The two sides of board B9; the rotating shaft 7 is made of 45# steel with a nickel-plated surface. The 45# steel and nickel-plated shaft 7 provides high hardness and corrosion resistance, ensuring smooth rotation and durability; the knob 4 is made of ABS plastic, offering a comfortable feel and easy operation; through the above structure, quick clamping and fixing of PCB board 9 is achieved, improving the convenience of PCB board 9 installation and removal; the two clamping frames 6 have first clamps fixed to the opposite sides of their back sides, which are connected to the inner wall of the mounting ring 5. Spring 8 and limit blocks are fixed to the opposite ends of the two rotating shafts 7. The first spring 8 is made of 65Mn spring steel, which has good elasticity and strong toughness, and can provide stable guidance for the clamping frame 6.

Rotate the knob 4 on the outer wall of the mounting ring 5, causing the rotating shaft 7 to rotate. Since the shaft 7 is threaded within the mounting ring 5, the threaded clamping frame 6 moves towards the PCB board 9 under the action of the threads. Simultaneously, the first spring 8 is stretched, acting as a guide to ensure the clamping frame 6 moves smoothly along a straight line until it tightly clamps both sides of the PCB board 9, thus fixing the PCB board 9. When it is necessary to remove the PCB board 9, rotate the knob 4 in the opposite direction. The clamping frame 6 retracts under the action of the threads on the rotating shaft 7, allowing the PCB board to be removed. Board 9; When connected to the testing equipment, the connection port 3 on the top surface of the connecting board 2 is a connector that can connect to the PCB board 9, facilitating connection with the testing machine and transmission of detection signals; the connection hole is used to fix it to the external equipment to ensure a stable docking; during the insertion and removal process, the protrusion at the bottom of the connecting board 2 slides in the guide groove of the guide frame 12, providing guidance for insertion and removal and ensuring accurate docking; at the same time, the second spring 13 on the bottom surface of the protrusion will deform according to the insertion and removal force, playing a buffering role and reducing wear at the contact point; the probe 10 on the bottom surface of the PCB board 9 contacts the chip, realizing simultaneous testing of multiple chips, while the limiting block can prevent the clamping frame 6 from moving excessively when the rotating shaft 7 rotates, ensuring the stability of clamping; at this point, the device is used.
