It has not been.

The outline of the manual actuator 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 10. FIG.

The pusher 200 has a first surface 250a, a second surface 250b, a third surface 250c and a fourth surface 250d. As shown in FIG. 7, each of the first surface 250a, the second surface 250b, the third surface 250c, and the fourth surface 250d is the top surface of a convex portion projecting downward from the pusher 200. As shown in FIG. Further, the convex portion including the first surface 250a as a top surface and the convex portion including the fourth surface 250d as a top surface are arranged side by side so as to form a stepped shape. The convex portion including the second surface 250b as a top surface and the convex portion including the third surface 250c as a top surface are arranged side by side so as to form a stepped shape. The first surface 250a and the second surface 250b are offset from each other in the pressing direction (Z direction) of the electronic component W by the pressing surface 210 . The third surface 250c and the fourth surface 250d are offset from each other in the direction in which the electronic component W is pressed by the pressing surface 210 (the Z direction). The first surface 250 a and the third surface 250 c are positioned at the same height in the pressing direction (Z direction) of the electronic component W by the pressing surface 210 . The second surface 250b and the fourth surface 250d are positioned at the same height in the pressing direction (Z direction) of the electronic component W by the pressing surface 210 .

The guide 100 has a first stopper surface 150a and a second stopper surface 150b. In the example shown in FIG. 6, each of the first stopper surface 150a and the second stopper surface 150b is the top surface of a convex portion projecting upward from the guide 100 . The first stopper surface 150 a is for receiving the first surface 250 a or the second surface 250 b when the electronic component W is pressed by the pressing surface 210 . The second stopper surface 150 b is for receiving the third surface 250 c or the fourth surface 250 d when the electronic component W is pressed by the pressing surface 210 .

The pusher 200 can switch between a first state (FIG. 8) in which the first surface 250a contacts the first stopper surface 150a and a second state (FIG. 10) in which the second surface 250b contacts the first stopper surface 150a. (Fig. 9). Furthermore, the third surface 250c contacts the second stopper surface 150b in the first state, and the fourth surface 250d contacts the second stopper surface 150b in the second state. By switching between the first state and the second state, the height position of the pressing surface 210 can be adjusted.

According to this embodiment, the height position of the pressing surface 210 of the pusher 200 can be easily adjusted. Specifically, as described above, in this embodiment, the height position of the pressing surface 210 can be adjusted by switching between the first state (FIG. 8) and the second state (FIG. 10). Therefore, complicated work for adjusting the height position of the pressing surface 210 (for example, exchanging a plurality of pushers having different thicknesses according to the height position of the pressing surface) is not required. Therefore, it is possible to easily adjust the height position of the pressing surface 210 of the pusher 200 .

Details of the manual actuator 10 will be described with reference to FIGS. 5 to 10. FIG.

Manual actuator 10 is used to inspect electronic component W. FIG. Electronic component W is, for example, an integrated circuit (IC) package. The electronic component W has a plate shape.

Details of the guide 100 will be described.

The guide 100 has a first upper surface 102, a first lower surface 104, an accommodation space 110, a first stopper surface 150a and a second stopper surface 150b.

The first top surface 102 is flat and has an outer edge along a substantially rectangular shape. This rectangle does not have to be a strict rectangle. For example, the corners of a rectangle may be clipped. In addition, the outer edge of the first upper surface 102 is not limited to the outer edge shown in FIGS. 5 to 10, and may have an outer edge different from the outer edge shown in FIGS. The first bottom surface 104 is opposite the first top surface 102 in the Z direction.

The accommodation space 110 is defined by a recess formed in the center of the first upper surface 102 . The accommodation space 110 is positioned inside an opening formed in the first upper surface 102 .

Each of the first stopper surface 150 a and the second stopper surface 150 b is a flat top surface of a convex portion that protrudes from the first upper surface 102 . However, the entire first stopper surface 150a may not be completely flat. For example, a groove may be formed in a portion of the first stopper surface 150a (flat surface). The same applies to the second stopper surface 150b. The first stopper surface 150 a and the second stopper surface 150 b are parallel to the first upper surface 102 . The first stopper surface 150a and the second stopper surface 150b are positioned opposite to each other in the X direction with the accommodation space 110 interposed therebetween. As described above, the first stopper surface 150a is for receiving the first surface 250a or the second surface 250b of the pusher 200. As will be described later, the second stopper surface 150b is for receiving the third surface of the pusher 200. 250c or for receiving the fourth surface 250d. The structures of the first stopper surface 150a and the second stopper surface 150b are not limited to the structures shown in FIGS. For example, each of the first stopper surface 150a and the second stopper surface 150b may be the bottom surface of a recess recessed with respect to the first upper surface 102 .

Next, the details of the pusher 200 will be described.

The pusher 200 has a second lower surface 202, a second upper surface 204, a pressing surface 210, a first surface 250a, a second surface 250b, a third surface 250c and a fourth surface 250d.

In the example shown in FIGS. 5-10, the second lower surface 202 is flat and has an outer edge along a truncated rectangle. In addition, the outer edge of the second lower surface 202 is not limited to the outer edge shown in FIGS. 5 to 10 . The second top surface 204 is opposite the second bottom surface 202 in the Z direction.

The pressing surface 210 is a flat top surface of a convex portion that protrudes from the second lower surface 202 . However, the entire pressing surface 210 may not be completely flat. For example, a groove may be formed in a portion of the pressing surface 210 (flat surface). The pressing surface 210 is positioned at the center of the second lower surface 202 . The pressing surface 210 has an outer edge along a substantially rectangular shape. The outer edge of the pressing surface 210 is not limited to the outer edge shown in FIGS. 5 to 10, and may have an outer edge different from the outer edge shown in FIGS.

The first surface 250a and the fourth surface 250d are arranged along one side of the pressing surface 210 (rectangle) so that a step is formed between the first surface 250a and the fourth surface 250d. Each of the first surface 250 a and the fourth surface 250 d is a flat top surface of a convex portion protruding from the second lower surface 202 . However, the entire first surface 250a may not be completely flat. For example, a groove may be formed in a portion of the first surface 250a (flat surface). The same applies to the fourth surface 250d. Both the height of the first surface 250a relative to the second lower surface 202 and the height of the fourth surface 250d relative to the second lower surface 202 are smaller than the height of the pressing surface 210 relative to the second lower surface 202.

The second surface 250b and the third surface 250c are positioned 180° apart from the set of the first surface 250a and the fourth surface 250d around the pressing direction (Z direction) of the electronic component W by the pressing surface 210, They are arranged along one side of the pressing surface 210 (rectangular) so that a step is formed between the second surface 250b and the third surface 250c. Each of the second surface 250b and the third surface 250c is a flat top surface of a convex portion protruding from the second lower surface 202 . As with the first surface 250a and the fourth surface 250d, the entire second surface 250b and the entire third surface 250c may not be completely flat. Both the height of the second surface 250b relative to the second lower surface 202 and the height of the third surface 250c relative to the second lower surface 202 are smaller than the height of the pressing surface 210 relative to the second lower surface 202.

Pusher 200 can be manufactured, for example, by cutting an ingot (eg, stainless steel block). In this case, the second lower surface 202, the first surface 250a, the second surface 250b, the third surface 250c and the fourth surface 250d are integrally formed. Note that the method of manufacturing the pusher 200 is not limited to the example given here.

Next, the details of the operation of the manual actuator 10 will be described.

In the first state (FIG. 8), the first surface 250a and the third surface 250c (not shown in FIG. 8) of the pusher 200 are aligned with the first stopper surface 150a and the second stopper surface 150b (not shown in FIG. 8) of the guide 100. ) respectively. The height of the second stopper surface 150b with respect to the first upper surface 102 is equal to the height of the first stopper surface 150a with respect to the first upper surface 102, and the height of the third surface 250c with respect to the second lower surface 202 is equal to the height of the second lower surface. It is equal to the height of the first surface 250 a with respect to 202 . Therefore, the second lower surface 202 of the pusher 200 is parallel to the first upper surface 102 of the guide 100 in the first state.

In the second state (FIG. 10), the second surface 250b and the fourth surface 250d (not shown in FIG. 10) of the pusher 200 are aligned with the first stopper surface 150a and the second stopper surface 150b (not shown in FIG. 10) of the guide 100. ) respectively. The height of the fourth surface 250d relative to the second lower surface 202 is equal to the height of the second surface 250b relative to the second lower surface 202. As shown in FIG. Therefore, the second lower surface 202 of the pusher 200 is parallel to the first upper surface 102 of the guide 100 in the second state. Furthermore, the height of the second surface 250b with respect to the second lower surface 202 (that is, the height of the fourth surface 250d with respect to the second lower surface 202) is the height of the first surface 250a with respect to the second lower surface 202 (that is, the second lower surface height of the third surface 250c with respect to 202). Therefore, the distance between the first top surface 102 and the second bottom surface 202 in the second state is greater than the distance between the first top surface 102 and the second bottom surface 202 in the first state. That is, the height position of the pressing surface 210 in the second state is higher than the height position of the pressing surface 210 in the first state.

The first state and the second state are switched by rotating the pusher 200 by 180° around the pressing direction (Z direction) of the electronic component W by the pressing surface 210 . Specifically, in the example shown in FIG. 7, the first surface 250a and the fourth surface 250d are arranged line-symmetrically with each other, and the second surface 250b and the third surface 250c are arranged line-symmetrically with each other. there is Furthermore, in the example shown in FIG. 6, the position of the first stopper surface 150a and the position of the second stopper surface 150b are on the same side in the Y direction from the straight line passing through the center of the accommodation space 110 in the X direction ( In the viewpoint, it is shifted toward the left side). Therefore, by rotating the pusher 200 as shown in FIG. 9, the pusher 200 can switch between the first state (FIG. 8) and the second state (FIG. 10).

Furthermore, the first state, the second state, and the switching between the first state and the second state in the manual actuator 10 shown in FIG. 1 can be performed as follows, for example.

In the first state, the first surface 250a and the third surface 250c of the pusher 200 contact the first stopper surface 150a and the second stopper surface 150b of the guide 100, respectively. Specifically, the cover 400 is attached to the frame 300 by the connectors 410 a and 410 b, and the height position of the pusher 200 is adjusted by the dial 420 . The pusher 200 can be lowered until the first surface 250a and the third surface 250c of the pusher 200 contact the first stopper surface 150a and the second stopper surface 150b of the guide 100, respectively. In this manner, the height position of the pressing surface 210 of the pusher 200 can be adjusted.

In the second state, the second surface 250b and the fourth surface 250d of the pusher 200 contact the first stopper surface 150a and the second stopper surface 150b of the guide 100, respectively. Specifically, the cover 400 is attached to the frame 300 by the connectors 410 a and 410 b, and the height position of the pusher 200 is adjusted by the dial 420 . The pusher 200 can be lowered until the second surface 250b and the fourth surface 250d of the pusher 200 contact the first stopper surface 150a and the second stopper surface 150b of the guide 100, respectively. In this manner, the height position of the pressing surface 210 of the pusher 200 can be adjusted.

Switching between the first state and the second state is realized, for example, by rotating the orientation of the cover 400 to which the pusher 200 is attached by 180° around the pressing direction (Z direction) of the pressing surface 210 . In this case, switching between the first state and the second state can be realized without removing the pusher 200 from the cover 400 .

The positions of the first surface 250a, the second surface 250b, the third surface 250c, and the fourth surface 250d are not limited to the example shown in FIG. For example, the position of the second surface 250b and the position of the third surface 250c in FIG. 7 may be interchanged. In this case, the second surface 250b and the fourth surface 250d are arranged rotationally symmetrically with respect to the pressing surface 210, and the first surface 250a and the third surface 250c are arranged rotationally symmetrically with respect to the pressing surface 210. be. In this example, the first stopper surface 150a and the second stopper surface 150b can be arranged rotationally symmetrically about the pressing surface 210 . Also in this case, by rotating the pusher 200, the pusher 200 can switch between the first state (eg, FIG. 8) and the second state (eg, FIG. 10).

Furthermore, the first surface 250a and the third surface 250c may be flush with the second lower surface 202. As shown in FIG. In this case, in the first state, a portion of the second lower surface 202 of the pusher 200 (the portion corresponding to the first surface 250a in FIG. 7) and another portion of the second lower surface 202 (the portion corresponding to the third surface 250c in FIG. portion) contacts the first stopper surface 150a and the second stopper surface 150b of the guide 100, respectively, and in the second state, the second surface 250b and the fourth surface 250d of the pusher 200 contact the first stopper surface 150a and the second stopper surface 150b of the guide 100, respectively. 2 contact the stopper surface 150b respectively.

FIG. 11 is a diagram showing a modification of FIG.

The pusher 200 further has a fifth surface 250e, a sixth surface 250f, a seventh surface 250g and an eighth surface 250h. The fifth surface 250e and the sixth surface 250f are offset from each other in the pressing direction (Z direction) of the electronic component W by the pressing surface 210, and in the pressing direction (Z direction) of the electronic component W by the pressing surface 210. They are located offset from the first surface 250a and the second surface 250b. The seventh surface 250g and the eighth surface 250h are offset from each other in the direction in which the electronic component W is pressed by the pressing surface 210 (the Z direction).

The fifth surface 250e and the eighth surface 250h are arranged along one side of the pressing surface 210 (rectangle) so that a step is formed between the fifth surface 250e and the eighth surface 250h. Specifically, the fifth surface 250e and the eighth surface 250h are selected from the set of the first surface 250a and the fourth surface 250d or the set of the second surface 250b and the third surface 250c. They are positioned with a 90° shift around the direction (Z direction). Each of the fifth surface 250 e and the eighth surface 250 h is a flat top surface of a convex portion protruding from the second lower surface 202 . As with the first surface 250a and the fourth surface 250d, the entire fifth surface 250e and the entire eighth surface 250h may not be completely flat. Both the height of the fifth surface 250e relative to the second lower surface 202 and the height of the eighth surface 250h relative to the second lower surface 202 are smaller than the height of the pressing surface 210 relative to the second lower surface 202.

The sixth surface 250f and the seventh surface 250g are positioned 180 degrees apart from the set of the fifth surface 250e and the eighth surface 250h around the pressing direction (Z direction) of the electronic component W by the pressing surface 210 . They are arranged along one side of the pressing surface 210 (rectangle) so that a step is formed between the sixth surface 250f and the seventh surface 250g. Each of the sixth surface 250f and the seventh surface 250g is a flat top surface of a convex portion protruding from the second lower surface 202 . As with the first surface 250a and the fourth surface 250d, the entire sixth surface 250f and the entire seventh surface 250g may not be completely flat. Both the height of the sixth surface 250f with respect to the second lower surface 202 and the height of the seventh surface 250g with respect to the second lower surface 202 are smaller than the height of the pressing surface 210 with respect to the second lower surface 202 .

The details of the operation of the manual actuator 10 when using the pusher 200 shown in FIG. 11 will be described.

The pusher 200 can switch not only the first state or the second state described above, but also the following third state or fourth state.

In the third state, the fifth surface 250e and the seventh surface 250g of the pusher 200 contact the first stopper surface 150a and the second stopper surface 150b of the guide 100, respectively. The height of the seventh surface 250g with respect to the second lower surface 202 is equal to the height of the fifth surface 250e with respect to the second lower surface 202. As shown in FIG. Therefore, the second lower surface 202 of the pusher 200 is parallel to the first upper surface 102 of the guide 100 in the third state.

In the fourth state, the sixth surface 250f and the eighth surface 250h of the pusher 200 contact the first stopper surface 150a and the second stopper surface 150b of the guide 100, respectively. The height of the eighth surface 250h relative to the second lower surface 202 is equal to the height of the sixth surface 250f relative to the second lower surface 202. As shown in FIG. Therefore, the second lower surface 202 of the pusher 200 is parallel to the first upper surface 102 of the guide 100 in the fourth state. Furthermore, the height of the sixth surface 250f with respect to the second lower surface 202 (that is, the height of the eighth surface 250h with respect to the second lower surface 202) is the height of the fifth surface 250e with respect to the second lower surface 202 (that is, the second lower surface height of the seventh surface 250g with respect to 202). Therefore, the distance between the first upper surface 102 and the second lower surface 202 in the fourth state is greater than the distance between the first upper surface 102 and the second lower surface 202 in the third state. That is, the height position of the pressing surface 210 in the fourth state is higher than the height position of the pressing surface 210 in the third state.

The third state and the fourth state are switched by rotating the pusher 200 by 180° around the pressing direction (Z direction) of the electronic component W by the pressing surface 210 . Further, the first state and the third state are switched by rotating the pusher 200 by 90° around the pressing direction (Z direction) of the electronic component W by the pressing surface 210 .

The height of the first surface 250a relative to the second lower surface 202, the height of the second surface 250b relative to the second lower surface 202, the height of the fifth surface 250e relative to the second lower surface 202, and the height of the sixth surface 250f relative to the second lower surface 202 can be different from each other. In this case, the distance between the first upper surface 102 and the second lower surface 202 can be changed in four steps according to the first state, second state, third state and fourth state.

The respective positions of the first surface 250a to the eighth surface 250h are not limited to the example shown in FIG.

(Embodiment 2)
13 to 15 are cross-sectional views for explaining the manual actuator 10 according to the second embodiment. The manual actuator 10 according to this embodiment is the same as the manual actuator 10 according to the first embodiment except for the following points. 13 to 15 , the Z direction indicates the direction along which the electronic component W is pressed by the pressing surface 210 .

The guide 100 has a first surface 160a, a second surface 160b and a third surface 160c, and the pusher 200 has a first stopper surface 260a. The first surface 160 a , the second surface 160 b , and the third surface 160 c are offset from each other in the pressing direction of the electronic component W by the pressing surface 210 . The first stopper surface 260 a is for receiving the first surface 160 a , the second surface 160 b or the third surface 160 c when the electronic component W is pressed by the pressing surface 210 . The guide 100 has a first state (FIG. 13) in which the first surface 160a contacts the first stopper surface 260a, a second state (FIG. 14) in which the second surface 160b contacts the first stopper surface 260a, and a third surface 160c. contacts the first stopper surface 260a (FIG. 15). The height position of the pressing surface 210 can be adjusted by switching between the first state, the second state, and the third state.

Also in this embodiment, the height position of the pressing surface 210 of the pusher 200 can be easily adjusted. Specifically, as described above, in the present embodiment, the height position of the pressing surface 210 is changed by switching among the first state (FIG. 13), the second state (FIG. 14), and the third state (FIG. 15). can be adjusted. Therefore, complicated work for adjusting the height position of the pressing surface 210 (for example, exchanging a plurality of pushers having different thicknesses according to the height position of the pressing surface) is not required. Therefore, it is possible to easily adjust the height position of the pressing surface 210 of the pusher 200 .

In the example shown in FIGS. 13-15, the guide 100 has a base 120, an intermediate member 122 and a slider . Base 120 defines at least a portion of receiving space 110 . Intermediate member 122 is positioned on base 120 . A slider 124 is positioned on the intermediate member 122 . The slider 124 has a first surface 160a, a second surface 160b and a third surface 160c. The slider 124 is movably supported by the base 120 and the intermediate member 122 along a direction intersecting the pressing direction of the electronic component W by the pressing surface 210 . Therefore, by moving the slider 124 with respect to the base 120 and the intermediate member 122, the first state, the second state and the third state can be switched.

The first surface 160a, the second surface 160b, and the third surface 160c are arranged in order along a direction intersecting the pressing direction (Z direction) of the electronic component W by the pressing surface 210 . Furthermore, the height position of the first surface 160a, the height position of the second surface 160b, and the height position of the third surface 160c in the pressing direction (Z direction) decrease in order. Therefore, by moving the slider 124, the height position of the pressing surface 210 can be sequentially lowered, and the height position of the pressing surface 210 can be easily adjusted.

Note that the structure of the guide 100 is not limited to the examples shown in FIGS. 13 to 15. FIG. For example, base 120 and intermediate member 122 may be a unitary member. Furthermore, the height position of the first surface 160a, the height position of the second surface 160b, and the height position of the third surface 160c in the pressing direction (Z direction) may not decrease in order. The height position of the surface 160b may be the lowest or highest. Even in this case, when the height position of the first surface 160a, the height position of the second surface 160b, and the height position of the third surface 160c are different from each other, by moving the slider 124, the first state, the third state, and the 2-state and 3-state can be switched.
