Thus, the test process is a plurality of inserts 100 are mounted on a test tray, which is a transport means through a test handler, the electronic component 10 is accommodated in the insert 100, and then the test tray is moved to the test apparatus. By connecting the electronic component 10 stored in the insert 100 to the test apparatus.

Thus, since the test tray is used as a means for moving the plurality of inserts 100 containing the electronic component 10 at a time, it may be included as one component in the receiving device.

The insert 100 includes an insert frame 110, a pocket 120, a latch 130, and a first pusher 140. The insert frame 110 is mounted to the test tray. The insert frame 110 has a receiving groove 112 in the center portion.

The pocket 120 has at least one storage space 122 in which the electronic component 10 is stored. The storage space 122 has a structure that is open upward. Here, the pocket 120 may have, for example, a plurality of storage spaces 122 arranged in a line.

The pocket 120 is inserted into the receiving groove 112 of the insert frame 110. At this time, the receiving groove 112 of the insert frame 110 may be configured wider by a predetermined difference than the pocket 120.

This allows a predetermined movement in the state in which the pocket 120 is inserted into the receiving groove 112 so that the electronic device 10 stored in the pocket 120 is connected to the test apparatus. In order to make phosphorus to some degree naturally.

The latch 130 is pressed into the pocket 120 to support the electronic component 10 by pressing an upper surface portion of at least one of opposite sides of the electronic component 10 accommodated in the storage space 122. Is mounted.

In this case, in the case where the pockets 120 have two storage spaces 122 arranged in a row, the latch 130 has a portion for supporting the electronic component 10 in each of the storage spaces 122. It may be configured to extend along the arrangement direction of the storage space 122 to simultaneously press the received electronic component 10.

The latch 130 is configured to open from the electronic component 10 by pressing the protrusion 132 protruding upward from the portion mounted in the pocket 120. Here, the protrusion 132 may also be coupled to the pocket 120 through a compression spring to provide a force for the latch 130 to press the upper surface portion of the electronic component 10.

The first pusher 140 has a structure protruding upward from the insert frame 110 at the outside of the latch 130. The first pusher 140 raises the other end 430 of the lever 400 to be described below, which will be described in detail in the following description of the lever 400.

The plate 200 is coupled to the upper portion of the insert 100. Specifically, by raising the test tray moved to the lower portion of the plate 200, the plate 200 is coupled to the insert 100.

The plate 200 has a first opening 210 for exposing the receiving space 122. The first opening 210 is opened in a sufficiently wider area than the storage space 122. Accordingly, the plurality of storage spaces 122 may be exposed at one time in the first opening 210.

The plate 200 has a second pusher 220 protruding downward from a portion facing the protrusion 132 to open the latch 130 when it is coupled with the insert 100.

As a result, the insert 100 is in a state in which the electronic component 10 can be received from the outside as the second pusher 220 presses the protrusion 132. In addition, the second pusher 220 may have an area wider than that of the protrusion 132 so as to stably press the protrusion 132.

The adapter 300 has a second opening 310 for exposing the storage space 122 from the first opening 210 upward. The second opening 310 guides a storage position of the electronic component 10 accommodated in the storage space 122.

Thus, the adapter 300 has a structure that is inserted into the storage space 122 of the pocket 120 when the insert 100 and the plate 200 are coupled. In addition, in the case where the storage space 122 is formed in plural, the second opening 310 is also made in plural, and these correspond to each other one-to-one.

In detail, the adapter 300 may include guide protrusions 312 protruding from opposite inner sides of the second opening 310 to guide the storage of the electronic component 10. Here, the guide protrusions 312 may support the opposite side surfaces of the electronic component 10 along the long axis of the electronic component 10 to accurately guide the storage position of the electronic component 10.

In this case, the reason why the adapter 300 has the guide protrusions only on both sides of the electronic component 10 along the long axis is that the change in the size of the electronic part 10 proceeds with respect to the long axis rather than the short axis. Because it becomes.

The adapter 300 includes a first fastening part 320 fastened to the plate 200 so as to be movable in the vertical direction. Thus, the first fastening part 320 may be configured at both sides of the adapter 300 in order to fasten the adapter 300 to the plate 200 efficiently.

The first fastening part 320 may have a pin shape that protrudes in a downward direction, and thus the plate 200 may have a pin hole 230 into which the pin shape is inserted. Here, the pin shape of the first fastening part 320 may be integrally formed with the adapter 300, but as shown in FIG. 3, the pin shape is separately manufactured so that the adapter 300 has the plate 200 Can be fastened to

On the other hand, the plate 200 may have a structure divided into a plurality of zones through the partition wall 240 is formed as shown in FIG. In this case, the pocket 120 of the insert 100 may have a plurality of storage spaces 122 corresponding to each of the regions.

In addition, the adapter 300 may also have a plurality of second openings 310 in a one-to-one correspondence with the storage spaces 122. Thus, the adapter 300 may be fastened to the plate 200 through the first fastening part 320 while covering the partition wall 240.

In this case, the adapter 300 may further include a second fastening part 330 fastened to the partition wall 240 so as to be movable in the vertical direction. Here, since the second fastening part 330 is different only in position, and has the same configuration as the first fastening part 320, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

The lever 400 is coupled to the plate 200 at a position adjacent to the first fastening portion 320 of the adapter 300. Hereinafter, the lever 400 will be described in more detail with reference to FIG. 4.

4 is a cross-sectional view taken along the line II-II 'of FIG. 2.

Referring further to FIG. 4, the lever 400 has a lever structure having a central portion 410, one end 420, and the other end 430 opposite to the one end 420.

The central portion 410 is hinged to the plate 200 at a position adjacent to the first fastening portion 320. That is, the lever 400 rotates the one end 420 and the other end 430 in opposite directions with respect to the center 410.

The one end 420 is positioned to face the first pusher 140 protruding from the insert frame 110 so that the insert 100 and the plate 200 are coupled to the first pusher 140 when the insert 100 is coupled to the first pusher 140. As a result of the upward movement.

Here, the first pusher 140 may be manufactured in a separate pin shape and fixed to the insert frame 110 through bolts. In this case, the first pusher 140 may adjust the length of the one end 420 to adjust the length thereof, and may also be configured differently from the insert frame 110. In contrast, the first pusher 140 may be manufactured together with the integrated body when the insert frame 110 is manufactured.

In this case, an insertion groove 422 into which a portion of the first pusher 140 is inserted may be formed at a portion where the first pusher 140 contacts. The insertion groove 422 prevents the first pusher 140 from being separated from the one end portion 420 while raising the guide portion in contact with the one end portion 420.

The other end 430 is positioned above the first fastening part 320. The other end 430 is lowered in reverse as the first pusher 140 raises the one end 420 to press the first fastening part 320. As a result, the adapter 300 is lowered by the pressing of the first fastening part 320.

Accordingly, when the insert 100 and the plate 200 are coupled to each other, the first pusher 140 raises one end 420 of the lever 400, so that the adapter 300 has the insert ( It is lowered to 100 and is inserted while being completely in contact with the storage space 122 of the pocket 120.

The first elastic body 500 is mounted to the first fastening part 320. The first elastic body 500 provides elasticity in a downward direction. For example, the first elastic body 500 may be formed of a compression spring. Accordingly, the first spring 500 may be inserted into and mounted on the first elastic member 500 that is the compression spring.

The first elastic body 500 moves the adapter 300 upward when the insert 100 is separated from the plate 200 as the test tray is lowered, and returns to the original position.

Meanwhile, when the first opening 210 has a structure in which the first opening 210 is divided into a plurality of zones through the partition wall 240, the second elastic member 600 mounted on the second fastening part 330. ) May be further included. Since the second elastic body 600 has the same configuration as the first elastic body 500, a detailed description thereof will be omitted.

In addition, the accommodating device may further include a cover member 700 coupled to the plate 200 at a portion at which the lever 400 is configured to prevent the lever 400 from being damaged from an external impact. .

As such, the adapter 300 is configured to descend from the plate 200 only when the insert 100 and the plate 200 are coupled to each other through the lever 400. The insert 100 may be prevented from interfering with the adapter 300 when the test tray moves adjacent to the bottom of the plate 200.

As a result, the possibility of the insert 100 being damaged by the interference with the adapter 300 may be reduced, thereby reducing the repair or replacement cost of the insert 100.

In addition, by reducing the operation time that the insert 100 is moved to accommodate the electronic component 10 in the insert 100, thereby reducing the process time for inspecting the electronic component 10. .

Briefly referring to the process of accommodating the electronic component 10 through such an accommodating device, first, the test tray on which the insert 100 is mounted is moved below the plate 200 to which the adapter 300 is fastened. Let's do it.

In this case, the adapter 300 may be fastened so as to protrude substantially downward from the plate 200, thereby allowing the insert 100 to move very close to the plate 200.

Then, the test tray is raised to couple the insert 100 to the plate 200. In this case, the second pusher 220 of the plate 200 presses the protrusion 132 to open the latch 130. As a result, the insert 100 is in a state in which the electronic component 10 can be stored from the outside.

In addition, as the first pusher 140 of the insert 100 raises the one end 420 of the lever 400, the other end 430 presses the first fastening part 320 to allow the adapter. By lowering 300, the adapter 300 is coupled to the storage space 122 of the pocket 120 while being completely in close contact.

Subsequently, the electronic component 10 is received from the upper portion of the plate 200 by the guide protrusions 312 of the adapter 300 and accommodated in the storage space 122.

Subsequently, the test tray is lowered to separate the insert 100 from the plate 200. In this case, the adapter 300 is returned to its original position by the first and second elastic bodies 500 and 600. In addition, the second pusher 220 is spaced apart from the protrusion 132 to support the electronic component 10 in which the latch 130 is accommodated.

Subsequently, the test tray moves to the test apparatus with the electronic components 10 stored in each of the plurality of inserts 100 to perform a test process.
