Abstract

An inspection apparatus according to one embodiment of the present disclosure is configured to inspect an inspection object seated on a jig, the jig capable of being introduced into and withdrawn from the inspection apparatus. The inspection apparatus includes: a mover configured to move the jig; and a clamping driver configured to contact and press the jig, the clamping driver including a pressing portion configured to be movable in a clamping direction and an unclamping direction opposite to the clamping direction.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An inspection set, comprising:
a jig configured to allow an inspection object to be seated thereon; and
an inspection apparatus configured to inspect the inspection object, the jig capable of being introduced into and withdrawn from the inspection apparatus, wherein
the jig includes at least one damper configured to be capable of moving in a clamping direction in which the inspection object is clamped to the jig and to be capable of moving in an unclamping direction opposite to the clamping direction,
the inspection apparatus includes:
a mover configured to move the jig; and
at least one clamping driver configured to contact and press the clamper,

the jig includes an elastic member configured to provide an elastic force to press the damper in the clamping direction, and
the clamping driver includes a pressing portion configured to press the damper in the unclamping direction.

2. The inspection set of claim 1 , wherein the elastic member is configured to be elastically deformed as the pressing portion presses the damper in the unclamping direction, and
the pressing portion is configured to be spaced apart from the damper as the pressing portion moves in the clamping direction.

3. The inspection set of claim 1 , wherein the clamping driver includes a pressing portion configured to press the damper in the unclamping direction, and
the damper includes a driving contact portion having a surface in the clamping direction capable of making contact with the pressing portion.

4. The inspection set of claim 3 , wherein the pressing portion and the driving contact portion are configured to face each other in a state in which the jig is located at a predetermined position with respect to the inspection apparatus.

5. The inspection set of claim 1 , wherein the at least one damper includes a pair of dampers, and
the at least one clamping driver includes a pair of clamping drivers corresponding to the pair of dampers.

6. The inspection set of claim 1 , wherein the jig is configured to be introduced into and withdrawn from the inspection apparatus in a direction perpendicular to the clamping direction.

7. An inspection apparatus configured to inspect an inspection object seated on a jig and inspect whether an insertion of a pin inserted into the inspection object is defective, the jig capable of being introduced into and withdrawn from the inspection apparatus, the inspection apparatus comprising:
a mover configured to move the jig; and
a clamping driver configured to contact and press the jig, the clamping driver including a pressing portion configured to be movable in a clamping direction and an unclamping direction opposite to the clamping direction.

8. The inspection apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the mover is configured to move the jig in a direction perpendicular to the clamping direction.

9. The inspection apparatus of claim 7 , wherein the mover is configured to move the jig in a front-rear direction in a state in which the jig is capable of slipping.

10. The inspection apparatus of claim 9 , wherein the mover includes a transfer belt configured to support the jig and move the jig in a rear direction or in a front direction.

11. The inspection apparatus of claim 9 , further comprising a stopper configured to be capable of making contact with a rear end of the jig when the jig is moved in a rear direction by the mover.

12. The inspection apparatus of claim 9 , further comprising at least one sensor configured to detect the jig when the jig is located at a predetermined position.

13. The inspection apparatus of claim 7 , further comprising:
a pair of transports each having the mover and configured to support left and right end portions of the jig;
a frame guide configured to guide movement of at least one of the transports in a left-right direction; and
a driver configured to provide a driving force to move the at least one of transports in the left-right direction.

14. The inspection apparatus of claim 7 , further comprising a sensor configured to detect whether the inspection object is placed.

15. A jig for an inspection apparatus, which is configured to allow an inspection object to be seated thereon, capable of being introduced into and withdrawn from the inspection apparatus for inspecting the inspection object, the jig comprising:
a damper configured to be movable in a clamping direction in which the inspection object is clamped and to be movable in an unclamping direction opposite to the clamping direction; and
a clamping guide configured to guide movement of the damper,
wherein the damper includes:
an object contact portion configured to be capable of making contact with the inspection object; and
a driving contact portion configured to be capable of making contact with the inspection apparatus to receive a driving force to move the clamper and

wherein the jig further comprising an elastic member configured to provide an elastic force to press the damper in the clamping direction.

16. The jig of claim 15 , further comprising:
a guide wall configured to be capable of making contact with a side surface of the inspection object; and
a guide pin configured to be inserted into a groove or hole of the inspection object.
