When a chip imaging performance test is carried out, the centering precision of the optical center of the optical chip module and the lens center needs to be kept within 0.01mm, but due to the existence of various processing, assembling and operating errors, and in the existing test equipment, the position of the lens L ENS is fixed, so that the error cannot be effectively adjusted to compensate the error, the centering precision of the optical chip module and the lens center is low, and the test precision is influenced.
Meanwhile, in the testing process, due to the light weight of the optical chip module, the problem of position deviation possibly occurs in the testing and pressing process, the probability of poor contact between a chip pin and a testing probe is increased, and the testing reliability is influenced.
At present, the diameter of pins of a chip module is basically within 0.05mm, even the pins of a plurality of chips are within 0.03mm, and meanwhile, the distance between the pins is about 0.2mm, so that the size of a test probe is not suitable to be too large, and the conventional various test probes are generally integrated with elastic members such as springs in order to have certain telescopic performance so as to avoid hard contact, for example, the test probes disclosed in application numbers 201780069227.3 and 201080067768.0, so that the structure of the test probe is complex and the size is large.
Some test probes are straight or polygonal special-shaped rhenium tungsten needles, and the test ends of the test probes are generally arranged in a spherical shape or a needle shape as shown in the patent, so that the contact area between the contact length of the test probes and the chip pins is small, the tolerance range between the test probes and the chip pins or the PAD is required to be about 0.02mm for effective contact, however, due to the existence of various processing and assembling tolerances, the test probes and the chip pins can not be effectively contacted, and the open circuit probability is high.
Still other probes are special-shaped shrapnels, and the probes are easy to deform in the using process, so that the probes cannot be accurately positioned.
Meanwhile, the requirements of the existing test probe structure on the machining and assembling precision of other structures are greatly improved, and the machining and assembling difficulty is increased.

The bottom 721 of the chute 72 is vertically connected with a row of guide holes 73, and the chute 72 is provided with an embedded block 74. The embedded block 74 is similar to the chute 72 in shape and size, can be completely embedded into the chute 72, has four side walls attached to the walls of the chute 72, and can be connected with the chute by interference fit or fixed in the chute 72 by glue or the like.
