[0023] The specific embodiments of this utility model are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings, so that those skilled in the art can more clearly understand how to practice this utility model. Although this utility model has been described in conjunction with its preferred embodiments, these embodiments are merely illustrative and not intended to limit the scope of this utility model.
[0024] See Figure 1-6 In one embodiment of this utility model, a fixture for Kelvin four-wire testing of an ultra-miniature RC element includes: a test seat, an upper cover 5 that is mounted on the test seat and hinged to the test seat, a floating pressure plate 6 for pressing the ultra-miniature RC element 10 in conjunction with the test seat, and a buckle 9 for locking the upper cover 5 in the test seat position. The floating pressure plate 6 and the buckle 9 are both movably mounted on the upper cover 5.
[0025] Specifically, the test fixture includes a base 1, a support 2, four probes 3, a fixing seat 4, and several bolts 11. The base 1 provides overall support, and four vertically arranged positioning pins 7 are provided on the base 1. The support 2 is fixed to the upper end of the base 1 by the positioning pins 7 and the bolts 11. The upper part of the positioning pin 7 slides through the support 2. The function of the positioning pin 7 is to quickly position the support 2 during assembly, thereby improving assembly efficiency. In addition, the lower end of the positioning pin 7 extends to the bottom of the base 1 and can act as a support foot of the base 1.
[0026] The support base 2 is a block-shaped structure, with a test cavity 21 opened in the middle of its upper end. A heat dissipation groove 22 and a test groove 23 are opened on the bottom wall of the test cavity 21. Figure 4 (The area shown in the square dashed box) The lower part of the support base 2 is also provided with four mounting slots 25 that are connected to the test slot 23 in a longitudinal direction; the depth of the test slot 23 is greater than the thickness of the RC element 10, which is used for the precise positioning of the RC element 10; the heat dissipation slot 22 is a ring-shaped strip structure that surrounds the test slot 23 and is interconnected with the test slot 23 and the mounting slots 25 to form a continuous heat dissipation channel.
[0027] Four mounting slots 25 are distributed at the four corners of the test slot 23, and each mounting slot 25 partially overlaps with the test slot 23. A fan-shaped through hole 24 is coaxially opened on the top wall of each mounting slot 25, so that the upper part of the mounting slot 25 is open, and the fan-shaped through holes 24 are close to the test slot 23. The open structure is more conducive to heat dissipation.
[0028] Four probes 3 are respectively installed in four mounting slots 25. The outer diameter of the probe 3 is adapted to the inner diameter of the mounting slot 25. The contact end (upper end) of the probe 3 abuts against the top wall of the mounting slot 25 to ensure installation accuracy and stability. At this time, the upper ends of the four probes 3 extend into the test slot 23 and form a "four-point coplanar platform" in the test slot 23 to provide support for the Kelvin four-wire contact of the RC element 10. The lower end of the probe 3 extends longitudinally to the outside of the base 1 as a test contact.
[0029] The fixing seat 4 is a frame structure with a positioning cavity 42 that runs vertically through the center. The fixing seat 4 is fixed to the base 1 by bolts 11, and the support seat 2 is located inside the positioning cavity 42. The right end of the fixing seat 4 is also provided with a latch 41 for locking with the buckle 9.
[0030] Furthermore, the distance between the upper end of the probe 3 and the bottom wall of the test chamber 21 is less than the thickness of the RC element 10, so that after the RC element 10 is placed in the test slot 23 and simultaneously contacts the four probes 3, a portion of the upper end of the RC element 10 can protrude from the bottom wall of the test chamber 21, making it possible for the floating pressure plate 6 to contact the RC element 10. After the cover 5 is closed, the purpose of pressing the RC element 10 can be achieved.
[0031] The upper cover 5 includes an upper cover body 51, a rotating shaft 52, and a connecting shaft 8. The lower end of the upper cover body 51 is provided with a receiving groove 511, and the rotating shaft 52 is fixedly installed in the receiving groove 511. The top wall of the receiving groove 511 is also provided with a plurality of evenly distributed observation windows 512. The buckle 9 is rotatably provided at the right end of the upper cover body 51 and is used to form a reliable lock with the latch 41 on the fixing seat 4 to fix the upper cover 5 in a closed state. The left end of the upper cover body 51 is hinged to the fixing seat 4 through the connecting shaft 8.
[0032] The floating pressure plate 6 includes a pressure plate body 61 and a pressure block 62. The pressure block 62 is a columnar structure and is fixedly installed at the lower end of the pressure plate body 61. The pressure plate body 61 is movably suspended in the receiving groove 511 by a rotating shaft 52. The rotating shaft 52 is arranged in the front-back direction. At the same time, there is a specific gap between the upper end of the pressure plate body 61 and the top wall of the receiving groove 511, forming a "floating" structure. This structure allows the floating pressure plate 6 to perform adaptive rotation within a limited range in the receiving groove 511. When the upper cover 5 is closed on the fixed base 4, the pressure block 62 is inserted into the test chamber 21 as the upper cover 5 closes, adaptively adjusting its posture to avoid scratches and ensure uniform clamping force.
[0033] In this embodiment, the probe 3 is an elastic probe. After the cover 5 is closed, the pressure block 62 can contact the bottom wall of the test chamber 21. At this time, the RC element 10 is submerged in the test slot 23 to achieve a more stable clamping state. After the test is completed, the cover 5 is opened, the probe 3 releases its elastic potential energy, and the RC element 10 is ejected.
[0034] Working principle description: The ultra-miniature RC element 10 is placed on the platform consisting of four probes 3 in the test slot 23 of the support base 2; the upper cover 5 is rotated and closed onto the test base; during the closing process, the pressure block of the floating pressure plate 6 moves down and enters the test chamber 21, and the pressure block contacts the upper end face of the protruding RC element 10. The floating design of the floating pressure plate 6 allows it to make slight adaptive rotation during the pressing process, which effectively compensates for the slight deviation of the element placement or the mechanism itself, significantly improves the movement posture of the pressure block, ensures vertical and uniform force application, and minimizes the risk of scratches or stress on the electrodes or body of the ultra-miniature element; the buckle 9 is pressed down to lock it with the latch 41 of the fixed base 4, and the upper cover 5 is firmly locked in the closed position, ensuring that the RC element 10 is stably pressed on the probe 3 platform. Finally, the Kelvin four-wire method test can be performed through the four independent probes.
[0035] Through this technical solution, this fixture achieves safe, stable, and accurate Kelvin four-wire method testing of ultra-miniature RC components by means of a support base structure (test slot, fan-shaped through hole, mounting slot), an independent four-probe platform, a pressure plate system with a floating mechanism (pressure plate body gap + rotating shaft) and a reliable snap-locking mechanism. In addition, while ensuring the accuracy of electrical connection, this fixture also effectively protects the fragile ultra-miniature devices through the floating clamping mechanism.
[0036] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications or equivalent substitutions can be made to the technical solutions of this utility model without departing from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of this utility model, and all such modifications or substitutions should be covered within the scope of the claims of this utility model.
