  • Patent number: 11901213
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a chip transfer device capable of floatingly positioning a chip and a method for floatingly positioning a chip. When a chip is placed in a chip socket, a control unit controls an air pressure switching valve to allow at least one vent hole to be communicated with a positive air pressure source. An air flow from the positive air pressure source blows a lower surface of the chip through the vent hole, so that the at least one chip is air-floated. Accordingly, when the chip socket is communicated with the positive air pressure source, the air flow blows the lower surface of the chip in the chip socket through the vent hole, so that the chip is air-floated in the chip socket to reduce the error displacement of the chip offset.

  • Publication number: 20230400478
    Abstract: A liquid cooling system, a liquid cooling method, and an electronic device-testing apparatus having the system are disclosed. When an electronic device is accommodated in a chip slot of a test socket, a cooling liquid supply device supplies a cooling liquid to the chip slot through a fluid inlet portion, and the cooling liquid at least flows over parts of the upper and lower surfaces of the electronic device and then flows out from a fluid outlet portion. The chip slot of the test socket serves as the flow space for the cooling liquid so that the cooling liquid can flow over the upper and lower surfaces of the electronic device, and the electronic device can be immersed in the continuously flowing cooling liquid. The flowing cooling liquid can also take away foreign matter, avoiding the influence of the foreign matter on the test.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a temperature control system and a temperature control method for an electronic device-testing apparatus. The temperature control system mainly includes a test socket, a temperature-controlling fluid supply device and a temperature-controlling fluid recovery device. A temperature-controlling fluid is supplied to a chip slot of the test socket by the temperature-controlling fluid supply device and drawn from the chip slot by the temperature-controlling fluid recovery device. In the present invention, the temperature-controlling fluid is forced to flow through the chip slot loaded with an electronic device so as to forcibly exchange heat with the electronic device and components in the chip slot, thereby achieving the constant temperature test. After the test is completed, the temperature-controlling fluid can be effectively recovered so that the contamination of the electronic device or the testing apparatus can be avoided.

  • Patent number: 11169178
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a locking mechanism for a press head, and an electronic device testing apparatus comprising the same, wherein a slider and a locking pin are disposed on the press head and a test socket substrate, respectively. When the press head is moved and engaged with the test socket substrate, an actuator drives the slider to secure the locking pin, so as to secure the press head and the test socket substrate and prevent the press head and the test socket substrate from being separated from each other. The mechanism is simple in construction, easy to install and maintain, reliable, and can be integrated into the support arms, and occupies a relatively small space. Energy is consumed only when the actuator is actuated to effect locking or unlocking. That is, only when the slider is driven and moved, energy is consumed. No extra energy is needed to persistently press down or drive the locking mechanism.
