BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to an electronic component socket opening / closing method and a device for opening / closing a lid of an electronic component socket used for aging of electronic components such as ICs by a mechanical operation.

[0002]

As is well known, after the manufacture of electronic parts,
It is preferable to apply a voltage to this electronic component and perform aging to stabilize the function of the product. In order to perform such aging, it is necessary to set an electronic component in the aging socket, and in order to perform this work, the opening / closing operation of the socket is inevitably required.

As means for opening and closing such a socket, for example, a socket lid opening device disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Laid-Open No. 3-128871 and an actual open mode 3-1288.
Means for using in combination with the lid closing device for the socket described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 72 can be adopted. However, each of these devices can perform only the opening operation of the socket or the closing operation of the socket independently. Therefore, in order to open and close the socket by using each of these devices, a work process of transferring and passing the socket between the lid opening device and the lid closing device provided on different stages is required. However, there is a problem that a series of work steps becomes complicated. Further, if the above two devices are separately provided, the efficiency of the installation space of the entire device becomes poor.

Therefore, conventionally, as means for solving the above-mentioned problems, for example, the means disclosed in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-251594 has been proposed. This conventional means, as shown in FIG.

Is a means for arranging a board 2e on which a plurality of electronic component sockets 1e are mounted, on the board 2e, a plurality of electronic component sockets 1e are arranged as a pair so as to face each other. . That is, FIG.
As shown in Fig. 1, sockets 1 for electronic parts are provided in pairs.
e and 1e are set such that the lock release levers 16 and 16 for opening the lids provided in the respective electronic component sockets 1e approach and face each other.

In the above-mentioned conventional means, the unlocking levers 16 of the two electronic component sockets 1e, 1e are pressed by the one open roller 80, so that each of the two electronic component sockets 1e, 1e is pressed. Each lid 11 can be opened by releasing the locked state of the lid 11 at the same time.
Further, the work of closing the lid 11 of the electronic component socket 1e is performed by moving the respective lids 11 of the two electronic component sockets 1e and 1e while abutting against the respective guide plates 82 and then moving these two electronic components. This can be done by pressing the lids 11 of the component sockets 1e, 1e downward by the closing rollers 81, 81. Therefore, the respective lids 11 of the two electronic component sockets 1e and 1e can be closed at the same time. According to such means, the electronic component socket 1
Since the opening and closing work of the lid of e can be performed by one device, unnecessary work of transferring the electronic component socket 1e can be omitted, and the space efficiency of the entire device can be improved. Further, since the opening / closing operations of the two electronic component sockets 1e, 1e can be performed at the same time, the efficiency of the opening / closing work is improved.

[0006]

However, in the above-mentioned conventional means, the lock release levers 16, 16 of the two electronic component sockets 1e, 1e are arranged to face each other, and then the lock release levers 16 are provided. One open roller 8
Since it is a means for simultaneously pressing by 0, the opening and closing work of the two electronic component sockets 1e, 1e can be performed only at the same time. That is, in the above-mentioned conventional means, for example, three or more sockets 1 for electronic parts are used.
e cannot be opened and closed at the same time. On the other hand, in order to efficiently perform the aging process on a large number of electronic components, it is desirable that the large number of electronic component sockets 1e can be opened and closed at the same time. Therefore,
In the past, there was still room for improvement in this respect.

Further, in the above conventional means, the opening roller 80
The lock release lever 1 of the electronic component socket 1e
Even if 6 is pressed, the lid 11 cannot be opened greatly immediately and the electronic component socket 1e is opened by the opening roller 80.
The electronic component socket 1 is not transferred until it is moved from below the guide plates 82, 82 to a retracted position.
The lid 11 of e can be opened widely. Therefore, in the related art, the lock release lever 16 is used for opening the roller
Immediately after pressing by 0, this electronic component socket 1
It is impossible to immediately put a desired electronic component into the e. As a result, in the related art, not only the opening / closing operation of the electronic component socket 1e but also the operation efficiency of the electronic component insertion / removal operation to / from the electronic component socket 1e is associated with the opening / closing operation. So there was still room for improvement.

The present invention has been devised under such circumstances, and is related to the opening / closing operation of the electronic component socket and the electronic component socket in relation to the opening / closing operation of the electronic component socket. The challenge is to make it possible to quickly and efficiently perform the operations such as loading and unloading electronic components into and from.

FIG. 2 is a side sectional view of the main part. FIG. 3 is a perspective view showing an example of an electronic component socket to be opened and closed.

First, for convenience of explanation, the structure of the electronic component socket 1 shown in FIG. 3 will be described. The electronic component socket 1 is configured as an aging socket for use in aging a desired electronic component D such as a semiconductor memory such as SRAM or other IC.

Specifically, this electronic component socket 1
Is a single-sided lid 11 on the upper surface of one end of the socket body 10.
One end portion of the is connected rotatably. The socket body 10 is provided with a recess 12 for accommodating a desired electronic component D, and a voltage is applied to the electronic component D on the inner surface of the recess 12 by contact with the lead 13a of the electronic component D. A large number of terminals 13 for performing the operation are provided.

At the other end of the socket body 10, there are a lock claw 14 for locking the lid 11 when the lid 11 is closed, and a lock release lever 16 for releasing the locked state. It is provided. The lock claw 14 is a concave step portion 14 provided at the tip of the lid 11.
It can be freely engaged and disengaged with a, can swing about the shaft 15, and is constantly elastically urged in the direction of arrow a1 by a predetermined spring force. Therefore, the lid 11 is closed,
The lock claw 14 is attached to the arrow a by the tip of the lid 11.
This lid 11 is retracted slightly in the opposite direction from 1
When is fully closed, the lock claw 14 engages with the stepped portion 14a of the lid 11, and the lid 11 is locked. In contrast,
The lock release lever 16 is provided so as to project from the outer surface of the lock claw 14. When the lock release lever 16 is pressed downward (in the direction of arrow b), the lock claw 14 moves from the stepped portion 14a of the lid 11. The lock state is released when released.

The lid 11 is for pressing the electronic component D so as to position and hold the electronic component D housed in the recess 12 of the socket body 10 and for protecting the electronic component D. The lid 11 is appropriately provided with a pin insertion hole 17a into which the positioning pin 17 projecting from the socket body 10 is fitted.
The lid 11 is configured to be accurately positioned with respect to 0. In addition, the shaft 15 that serves as the center of rotation of the lid 11

Therefore, when the lid 11 is closed and the lock release lever 16 is pressed downward to release the locked state by the lock claw 14, the lid 11 is rotated in the direction of arrow a2 by the spring force and automatically. It will be opened.

As shown in FIGS. 4 and 5, for example, the electronic component sockets 1 are mounted on a predetermined board 2 in a state in which a plurality of them are aligned vertically and horizontally, and the whole thereof is configured as a burn-in board, for example. Has been used.
That is, the electronic component socket 1 is mounted on the board 2.
For example, a plurality of columns in which 8 are arranged (for example, 8
Rows) are provided in parallel. However, the plurality of sockets 1 for electronic parts are set so that the opening directions of the respective lids 11 are all aligned in the same direction, as shown by the phantom lines in FIG. In addition, the lock release levers 16 of the electronic component sockets 1 are arranged substantially on the same straight line along the array direction (arrow c direction) of the electronic component sockets for each array of the electronic component sockets 1. It is set.

When a plurality of electronic component sockets 1 are arranged and arranged in series as described above, a plurality of electronic component sockets 1 in the same row may be connected in series. This is because, for example, each of the shafts 15 and 15a of the electronic component socket 1 shown in FIG. 3 has a long dimension, and the shafts 15 and 15a common to the electronic component sockets 1 in the same row are provided.
It is possible to do so by penetrating. By thus connecting the electronic component sockets 1 in each row in series, it is possible to prevent an improper displacement of the electronic component sockets 1 and the like, which is convenient for handling. Board 2 above
Is configured so that each electronic component socket 1 can be positioned and held on its upper surface, and of course, is provided with a terminal (not shown) for supplying power to the terminal 13 of each electronic component socket 1.

Next, the structure of the opening / closing device for the electronic component socket shown in FIGS. 1 and 2 will be described. In FIG. 1, the opening / closing device includes a table 3 for mounting a board 2 on which the plurality of electronic component sockets 1 are aligned, and a plate-like shape for opening a lid 11 of the plurality of electronic component sockets 1.

It is equipped and configured.

The board 2 is reciprocally movable on the table 3 in a direction (arrow d direction) orthogonal to the arrangement direction (arrow c direction) of the plurality of electronic component sockets 1. This is, for example, in FIG. 4, the arm portion 2 provided in one end portion of the board 2 and having a substantially U-shaped plane.
This can be achieved by connecting an appropriate reciprocating means 9 to 0 and reciprocating the reciprocating means 9 to slide the board 2 on the table 3. Also,
If necessary, the table 3 is appropriately provided with guide means (not shown) for assisting the slide movement operation of the board 2.

The lid opening device 4 is arranged so that the plate-shaped pressing body 40 extends in the same direction as the arrangement direction of the plurality of electronic component sockets 1 above the arrangement position of the board 2 and can be moved up and down. It is a thing. Specifically, both ends of the pressing body 40 are connected to one end of each of the pair of arms 41, 41, and the pair of arms 4 are connected to each other.
A shaft 43 rotatably supported by each of a pair of fixed brackets 42, 42 fixedly provided on the table 3 is connected to the other end of each of the units 1, 41. Further, the shaft body 43 is connected to an upper end portion of a lever arm 44 whose lower end portion is connected to a rod of an air cylinder 45. Therefore, when the air cylinder 45 is reciprocated in the direction of arrow f to swing the lever arm 44, the shaft body 43, which is the swing center, can be rotated. As a result, the pressing body 40 mounted between the pair of arms 41, 41 can be swung about the shaft body 43 and moved up and down on the board 2.

As shown in FIG. 2, a pressing piece 46 having a substantially L-shaped cross section is provided on the front surface of the pressing body 40. As will be described later, the pressing piece 46 is for preventing the lid 11 of the electronic component socket 1 from being suddenly opened by a predetermined spring force when the lid 11 of the electronic component socket 1 is opened by the pressing body 40. is there.

It is attached via 52. The plurality of pressing rollers 50 are for simultaneously pressing the respective lids 11 of the electronic component sockets 1 in a desired row in which the lids are opened. Therefore, these pressing rollers 50 are provided at a pitch substantially the same as the pitch at which the electronic component sockets 1 are arranged, and at a number equal to the number of at least one row of electronic component sockets 1 (eight locations in the present embodiment). ing.

Bracket 5 for supporting each pressing roller 50
Reference numeral 2 is externally fitted to the support shaft 51 so as to be rotatable relative to each other, and each pressing roller 50 is swingable in the vertical direction about the support shaft 51. Also, as shown in FIG.
At the rear end of each bracket 52, an upward spring force of a spring 55 supported by a block body 54 mounted so as not to rotate relative to the support shaft 51 is set so as to always act. Each pressing roller 50 is constantly urged downward by the spring 55. On the other hand, a bolt 56 for restricting the rear end of the bracket 52 from rising above a certain size is attached to the block body 54. Therefore, each pressing roller 50 is always
Although the height of the bracket 52 is stable at the position where the rear end portion of the bracket 52 comes into contact with the bolt 56, when the upward force against the elastic force of the spring 55 acts on the pressing roller 50, a certain size range is obtained. It is possible to rise within.

In FIG. 1, both ends of a support shaft 51 that supports each pressing roller 50 are supported by a pair of sliders 57, 57 provided on the table 3. The pair of sliders 57, 57 are guided by respective guide rails 58 provided on the table 3, and driven by the air cylinder 45A, so as to be orthogonal to the arrangement direction of the electronic component sockets 1 (arrow d direction). It can be reciprocated along the same direction). Therefore, these sliders 57, 5
It is possible to horizontally move the pressing rollers 50 above the board 2 by the sliding operation of 7.

Lever 59 is attached to both ends of the support shaft 51 so as not to rotate relative to the support shaft 51. An abutment body 6 such as a bolt is attached to the bracket 60 at a predetermined position on the path along which the lever 59 moves as the sliders 57, 57 slide. As will be described later, the abutting body 6 causes the lever 59 to abut on the abutting body 6 so that the lever 59 is swung to move the pressing rollers 5.
It is for lowering 0. It is preferable that the abutment body 6 is formed of, for example, a bolt so that its position can be adjusted. Further, it is desirable that the lever 59 is provided with, for example, a roller 59a so that the roller 59a abuts the abutting body 6 so that the abutment of the both can be performed smoothly.

The lid closing device 5 and the lid opening device 4 are
When a row of electronic component sockets 1 are arranged below them, the electronic component sockets 1
On the side where the lock release lever 16 of the
Is provided, and the lid closing device 5 is provided on the opposite side.

Next, an example of an opening / closing method for an electronic component socket according to the present invention using the electronic component socket opening / closing device having the above-described configuration will be described.

First, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, when the board 2 is placed on the table 3, the board 2
By sliding and moving, the lock release levers 16 of the electronic component sockets 1 in a desired row on the board 2 are arranged below the pressing body 40 of the lid opening device 4. Also,
At this time, the lid closing device 5 is retracted from above the electronic component sockets 1 in the desired row. As a result, a space S for opening the lid can be formed above the electronic component sockets 1 in the above row.

Next, when the pressing body 40 of the lid opening device 4 is lowered, the pressing body 40 can simultaneously press all the lock release levers 16 of the electronic component sockets 1 in the desired row. As shown in FIG. 6, the lock claw 14 of each electronic component socket 1 is attached to the step portion 14 a of the lid 11.
Can be removed from. As a result, the lid 11 of each electronic component socket 1 opens upward. In this case, when the lids 11 of the electronic component sockets 1 are opened at a slight angle, the lids 11 are brought into contact with the pressing pieces 46 attached to the front surface of the pressing body 40. This can prevent the lid 11 from opening suddenly. The lid 11 can be opened by gradually raising the pressing body 40 after that. When the pressing body 40 is raised to a certain height or more, as shown in FIG.
The lid 11 can be opened at a large angle. Further, when the lids 11 are thus opened at an angle of, for example, about 90 °, the back surface portions 11a of the lids 11 are brought into contact with the pressing rollers 50 to hold the lids 11 in an upright state. Keep it.

After the lid 11 of each electronic component socket 1 is opened as described above, the electronic component D loading device 90 is used to insert a predetermined electronic component into each electronic component socket 1 from above. Just add D. Since there is no device above the respective electronic component sockets 1 in which the lid 11 is opened and which hinders the electronic component D loading operation, the electronic component D loading operation can be appropriately performed. . Further, the operation of inserting the electronic component D into the electronic component socket 1 can be performed simultaneously on all of the electronic component sockets 1 in one row, and a total of 8 operations can be performed by one insertion operation.
Individual electronic components D can be put in. Therefore,
The work of inserting the electronic component D can be performed quickly and efficiently. When the electronic components D are already stored in the electronic component sockets 1, the electronic components D are to be taken out. In this case as well, a total of eight electronic components D are stored. The work of taking out the electronic component D from the electronic component socket 1 can be performed at the same time, and the working efficiency is also improved.

Next, after the work of inserting the electronic component D is completed, the sliders 57, 57 of the lid closing device 5 are operated to horizontally move the pressing rollers 50 in the direction of arrow g. As a result, as shown in FIG. 8, the back surface portion 11a of the lid 11 that has been opened in the electronic component socket 1 can be simultaneously pressed by the plurality of pressing rollers 50 and pushed down. Then, when the pressing roller 50 is advanced by a predetermined size to close the lid 11 of each electronic component socket 1 to a state close to a substantially fully closed state, at that time, as shown in FIG. 9, the lever of the lid closing device 5 is closed. 59 or its roller 59
The a is brought into contact with the contact body 6. Then, this lever 59
Oscillates in the direction of arrow f due to the contact with the contact body 6, and as a result, each pressing roller 50 oscillates about the support shaft 51 and descends.

When the pressure rollers 50 are lowered in this manner, the lid 11 of each electronic component socket 1 can be surely completely closed, and the stepped portion 14a of the lid 11 can be surely closed.
The locking can be locked by locking the locking claw 14 to the. Since each pressing roller 50 is brought into contact with each electronic component socket 1, and each pressing roller 50 can be individually lifted against the elastic force of the spring 55, each electronic component socket 1 Even if there are variations in height and the like, it is possible to press the respective electronic component sockets 1 downwardly by the respective pressing rollers 50 corresponding thereto in a proper amount and to securely close the lid.

As described above, after the opening and closing operations of the eight electronic component sockets 1 in a row and the insertion work of the electronic component D associated therewith are completed, the lid closing device 5 is moved to the position shown in FIGS. After returning to the original initial position indicated by
The board 2 may be slid so that the lock release lever 16 of the electronic component socket 1 in the next desired row is arranged below the pressing body 40 of the lid opening device 4. By such a procedure, it is possible to sequentially perform the opening / closing work of all the electronic component sockets 1 on the board 2 and the loading / unloading work of the electronic component D.
