The present invention relates to probe compartment storage, in particular probe compartment storage for use in measuring various electrical characteristics such as integrated circuits.

BACKGROUND ART Rotary storages in which a probe storage box (palette) is attached to and stored on an endlessly moving chain and a desired probe storage box is taken out by movement of the chain are known in the art.

However, in the conventional rotary storage, many probe storage boxes cannot be stored, and the entrance and exit of the probe storage box are limited to one place.

The present invention is intended to eliminate this drawback.

The probe storage box storage of the present invention is a storage for storing the probe storage box in which the probes are stored in a vertically multistage stack at the position spaced apart from each other left and right, and each of the probe storage boxes in the storage left and right and up and down A lower probe storage box reciprocating transverse member for moving the lowermost part of one of the probe storage box groups hit by each other in a left and right position to a lower side of the other lowermost part, which is made by a driving means for moving to the side; Similarly, the upper probe accommodating transverse member which moves one uppermost part to the upper side of the other upper part, and the upper and lower means which vertically reciprocate one and the other of the said probe accommodating box group, respectively, are the said left and right sides Probe storage boxes at positions corresponding to probe storage groups And it characterized in that the probe has a doorway.

The probe storage box may include an inner box accommodating the probe and an outer box capable of withdrawing the inner box to the outside.

[Effects of the Invention]

According to the probe storage box storage of the present invention, a plurality of probe storage boxes can be stored in the same volume as compared with the conventional rotary storage, and the entrance and exit of the probe storage box can be provided in two places on the left and right, and the required probe It is possible to greatly reduce the entry and exit cycle time of.

EXAMPLE

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In the probe storage box storage of the present invention, as shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the inner box 2 containing one probe 1 and the inner box 2 are housed so that they can be pulled out. The outer box 3 constitutes the probe storage box 4. In addition, reference numeral 5 is a pull-out knob provided on the front of the inner box 2, 6 is a positioning pin provided on the back, 7 is a guide rail of the inner box 2, 8 is the outer box 3 The guide rollers, 9 and 10 provided on the outer side surface of) are contact surfaces provided on the lower surface and the upper surface of the outer box 3, respectively.

In addition, in the present invention, as shown in Figs. 3 to 5, the probe storage box 4 is placed in the outer space 11 from side to side to the left and right in multiple stages, for example, with 18 stages, and the storage 12 ) So that the individual storage boxes 4 of the hit probe storage box 4 at the left and right positions can be sequentially moved in the storage 10 clockwise or counterclockwise by the driving means. .

The drive means is constituted by the upper and lower jacks 13 and 14 of the right and left hit probe storage boxes 4 and the transverse members 15 and 16 of the lower and uppermost probe storage boxes 4.

In addition, as shown in FIG. 4, the entrances and exits 17 of the inner box 2 in the probe storage box 4 are formed in the right and left middle portions of the storage 12, respectively. ) Are stored in a computer (not shown), each with a readable designation number, and the drive means is controlled by the computer to place the desired probe storage box 4 at the probe storage box entrance 17. The inner box 2 is moved in and out of the probe storage box 4 so that the probe 1 can be taken out from it.

Hereinafter, the operation of the probe storage of the present invention will be described.

(1) As shown in FIG. 3, in the state where the hit probe storage box group on the right side is raised, the probe storage box A at the point a of FIG. 3 is moved by the lower probe storage box lateral movement member 15. As shown in FIG. Move right to point b.

(2) At the same time, the probe storage box B at the point d is moved left to the point e by the upper probe storage box horizontal moving member 16.

(3) The probe storage box (A) is pushed up by the right upper and lower jacks 13 to the contact surface 9 on the bottom surface of the lowermost probe storage box 4 of the right hit probe storage box group by pushing the probe storage box A at the point b. After making the contact surface 10 of the upper surface of A) touch, the whole multistage probe storage box is moved to the point C of FIG. 3 and FIG. 4 upwards.

(4) After the probe storage box A is raised to point c, the probe storage box drop prevention hook (not shown) is operated.

(5) After the hook is operated, the right upper and lower jacks 13 and the lower probe storage box transverse member 15 are returned to their original positions.

(6) The entire left hit probe storage box is pushed up by the left upper and lower jacks 14, and the contact surface 10 on the lower surface of the probe storage box B at the point e is positioned at the contact surface 10 on the upper left side of the left top probe and the storage box. ), The probe storage box B at the point e is supported by the uppermost probe storage box.

(7) In this state, the number of probe storage boxes stacked on the left end is increased by one step from the right.

(8) Return the upper probe storage box lateral movement member 16 to its original position.

(9) Next, the left upper and lower jacks 14 are lowered and the lowermost probe storage box is placed on the lower probe storage box lateral movement member 15.

(10) The lower probe storage box lateral movement member 15 moves the lowermost probe storage box 4 from a point to b to the right.

(11) The probe storage box at point d is moved left to point e by the upper probe storage box lateral movement member 16.

(12) The above operation is repeated and continued until the designated probe storage box is located at the right or left entrance 17.

Incidentally, the above operation is an example in which the probe storage box is moved in the counterclockwise direction. However, the computer determines whether the designated probe storage box is close to the entrance 17 and determines whether the probe storage box is moved in the counterclockwise or clockwise direction. Decide

According to the probe storage box storage of the present invention, a plurality of probe storage boxes can be stored in the same volume as compared with the conventional rotary storage, and the entrance and exit of the probe storage box can be provided at two left and right positions, and the required probe It is possible to greatly reduce the entry and exit cycle time of.
