[0021] The present invention provides the following preferred embodiments: Example 1: Reference Figure 1 As shown, a wafer probe card inspection device includes an inspection stage 1, and the inspection device includes: The first electric push rod 2 is installed in the middle of the testing platform 1. The output end of the first electric push rod 2 is provided with a lifting plate 3. Two sets of second electric push rods 4 are provided on the side wall of the lifting plate 3. The output end of the second electric push rod 4 is provided with a mounting frame 5. The middle of the mounting frame 5 is provided with a testing probe card 6. The support base 7 is set on the side wall of the testing table 1. The top of the support base 7 is rotatably connected to the placement plate 8. The middle of the support base 7 is bolted with a servo motor 9. The output end of the servo motor 9 is fixedly connected to the placement plate 8. Multiple placement mechanisms 10 for easy placement and removal of probe cards are provided on the side wall of the placement tray 8; and The positioning mechanism 11 is located between the placement plate 8 and the lifting plate 3.

[0022] In use, the placement mechanism 10 supports multiple circuit board chips placed on the placement tray 8. Driven by the servo motor 9, the multiple circuit board chips move alternately to the bottom of the detection probe card 6. The output of the first electric push rod 2 and the second electric push rod 4 enables the detection probe card 6 to contact and test the circuit board chips. The positioning mechanism 11 and the first electric push rod 2 cooperate to achieve precise control of the movement range of the placement tray 8. The placement mechanism 10 facilitates the unloading of the tested circuit board chips, thereby enabling continuous testing of the circuit board chips and improving the testing efficiency of the circuit board chips.

[0023] Example 2: Reference Figure 4 As shown, the placement mechanism 10 includes: Multiple placement slots 101 are provided on the side wall of the placement disk 8. The multiple placement slots 101 are distributed at equal intervals and are adapted to the circuit board chips. Multiple movable frames 102 are arranged at the bottom of the placement tray 8. A bidirectional lead screw 103 is provided in the middle of the movable frame 102. Movable blocks 104 are provided on both sides of the movable frame 102. The movable blocks 104 are adapted to the bidirectional lead screw 103. A drive motor 105 is bolted to the side wall of the movable frame 102. The output end of the drive motor 105 is fixedly connected to the bidirectional lead screw 103. Support plates 106 are provided on the side wall of the movable block 104. Two support plates 106 are provided as a group, and the two groups of support plates 106 are respectively provided on both sides of the bottom of the placement groove 101.

[0024] In use, initially, the placement slot 101 matches the shape and size of the circuit board chip. Two support plates 106 are located below the placement slot 101, supporting the circuit board chip inside the placement slot 101. The rotation of the placement disk 8 can carry the circuit board chip inside the placement slot 101 one by one to the bottom of the detection probe card 6 for detection. After the circuit board chip is detected, according to the detection status, the drive motor 105 drives the bidirectional lead screw 103 to rotate, realizing the movement of the moving block 104 inside the moving frame 102. The moving block 104 drives the two support plates 106 to move outward of the placement slot 101, thereby releasing the support of the circuit board chip and allowing the circuit board chip to fall onto the corresponding conveyor belt group 12, which facilitates the unloading of the detected circuit board chip.

[0025] Example 3: Reference Figure 5 As shown, the positioning mechanism 11 includes: Multiple positioning seats 111 are provided on the top of the placement tray 8, and the positioning seats 111 are semi-circular tubes. A positioning rod 112 is disposed on one side of the lifting plate 3, and the positioning rod 112 is movably connected to the lifting plate 3. A limit plate 113 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the positioning rod 112; and A support spring 114 is sleeved on the side wall of the positioning rod 112, and the two ends of the support spring 114 are in contact with the lifting plate 3 and the limiting plate 113, respectively.

[0026] In use, initially, the first electric push rod 2 drives the lifting plate 3 downward, causing the positioning rod 112 to move downward. At this time, the placement plate 8 rotates, and the positioning seat 111 rotates accordingly. When the positioning seat 111 contacts the positioning rod 112, the servo motor 9 stops driving the placement plate 8. At this time, one of the placement slots 101 coincides with the position of the detection probe card 6, realizing the control of the rotation range of the placement plate 8. During the detection process, the first electric push rod 2 continues to drive the lifting plate 3 downward. During the contact between the positioning rod 112 and the positioning seat 111, the positioning rod 112 slides at one end of the lifting plate 3. During this process, the setting of the limit plate 113 and the support spring provides support and buffer for the positioning rod 112. After the first electric push rod 2 drives the lifting plate 3 to the appropriate position, the second electric push rod 4 drives the detection probe card 6 inside the mounting frame 5 to contact the circuit board chip, realizing the detection of the circuit board chip.

[0027] Example 4: Reference Figure 5 As shown, two sets of conveyor belts 12 are provided on the side wall of the testing table 1. The two sets of conveyor belts 12 are arranged symmetrically, and the positions of the conveyor belts 12 and the placement groove 101 are adapted to each other.

[0028] In use, two sets of conveyor belts 12 are symmetrically arranged, and the two sets of conveyor belts 12 respectively transport qualified circuit board chips and unqualified circuit board chips that are fed into the corresponding placement grooves 101.

[0029] Example 5: Reference Figure 3 As shown, sliding grooves 13 are provided on both sides of the placement groove 101, and a clamping head 14 is provided on the top of the support plate 106. The clamping head 14 is movably connected to the sliding groove 13.

[0030] In use, the cooperation of the slide groove 13 and the clamping head 14 enables the support plate 106 to support the circuit board chip inside the placement groove 101 while clamping and positioning the circuit board chip, so that the circuit board chip is stable inside the placement groove 101.

[0031] Example 6: Reference Figure 4 As shown, two slide rods 15 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the support plate 106, and multiple slide seats 16 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the placement plate 8. Two slide seats 16 are set as a group, and the slide rods 15 are movably connected to the slide seats 16.

[0032] In use, the sliding rod 15 and the sliding block 16 work together to guide and limit the movement of the support plate 106, so that the two support plates 106 can move in a stable state.

[0033] Example 7: Reference Figure 3 As shown, multiple sets of control indicator lights 17 are provided on the top of the placement tray 8, and the control indicator lights 17 are located on one side of the placement slot 101.

[0034] In use, by controlling the matching of the indicator light 17 with the electric motor of the detection device and the detection probe card 6, the status of the circuit board chip inside the placement slot 101 can be displayed. By controlling the indicator light 17 to display different statuses, the qualified and unqualified status of the circuit board chip can be observed.

[0035] Example 8: Reference Figure 3 As shown, a mounting base 18 is provided in the middle of the testing platform 1, and a testing camera 19 is provided on the top of the mounting base 18.

[0036] In use, by installing a detection camera 19 on the mounting base 18, the process of the detection probe card 6 contacting the circuit board chip can be visually detected by setting the detection camera 19.

[0037] Working principle: In use, multiple circuit board chips are first placed one by one inside the placement slot 101. Initially, the placement slot 101 matches the shape and size of the circuit board chips. Two support plates 106 are located below the placement slot 101 to support the circuit board chips inside. The servo motor 9 drives the multiple circuit board chips to move alternately to below the detection probe card 6. The first electric push rod 2 drives the lifting plate 3 to move downward, causing the positioning rod 112 to move downward. At this time, the placement disk 8 rotates, and the positioning seat 1... 11. Following the rotation, when the positioning seat 111 contacts the positioning rod 112, the servo motor 9 stops driving the placement plate 8. At this time, one of the placement slots 101 coincides with the position of the detection probe card 6, realizing the control of the rotation range of the placement plate 8. During the detection process, the first electric push rod 2 continues to drive the lifting plate 3 downward. At this time, during the contact between the positioning rod 112 and the positioning seat 111, the positioning rod 112 slides at one end of the lifting plate 3. During this process, the setting of the limit plate 113 and the support spring provides support and buffer for the positioning rod 112. When the first electric push rod 2 drives... After the lifting plate 3 is moved to the appropriate position, the second electric push rod 4 drives the detection probe card 6 inside the mounting frame 5 to contact the circuit board chip, realizing the detection of the circuit board chip. The contact state between the circuit board chip and the detection probe card 6 is visually detected by the detection camera 19, and the display light 17 is controlled to display the qualified status of the circuit board chip after detection. After one group of circuit board chips is detected, the first electric push rod 2 and the second electric push rod 4 are reset, so that the placement tray 8 continues to rotate. At this time, when the circuit board chip moves to the top of the corresponding conveyor belt group 12, the bidirectional lead screw 103 is driven by the drive motor 105 to rotate, realizing the movement of the moving block 104 inside the moving frame 102. The moving block 104 drives the two support plates 106 to move to the outside of the placement slot 101, thereby releasing the support of the circuit board chip and allowing the circuit board chip to fall on the corresponding conveyor belt group 12, which facilitates the unloading of the detected circuit board chip. The circuit board chip is then transported on the corresponding conveyor belt group 12. In this way, the automated detection of circuit board chips is realized, improving the detection efficiency of the wafer probe card for circuit board chips.

Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
