[0029] Figure 7 This is a schematic diagram of the structure of the test probe of the present invention. Detailed Implementation

[0030] like Figures 1 to 7 As shown, the connector electrical performance testing machine of the present invention mainly consists of a first transmission channel 1, a first pushing mechanism 3, a second pushing mechanism 7, a second transmission channel 10, a first testing mechanism 12, and a second testing mechanism 17.

[0031] The first conveying channel 1 has a first material groove 2 for the connector 37 to enter. The first material groove 2 is C-shaped, and a baffle 24 is provided on one side of its bottom. After the connector 37 is inserted into the first material groove 2, its rear pins extend out of the first material groove 2 and face upward. At the same time, the housing of the connector 37 moves forward in a straight line along the baffle 24 to ensure the smooth sliding of the connector 37 and prevent it from falling off. The first pushing mechanism 3 is mainly composed of a first cylinder 4 and a push block 5. The push block 5 is vertically arranged on one side of the end of the first conveying channel 1. The front of the push block 5 has a second material groove 6 for the connector 37 to enter. The first cylinder 4 is connected to the rear end of the push block 5. The second pushing mechanism 7 is mainly composed of a second cylinder 8 and a push rod 9. The push rod 9 is parallel to the other side of the end of the first conveying channel 1. The second cylinder 8 is connected to the rear end of the push rod (9). The second conveying channel 10 has a third material groove 11 for the connector 37 to enter. The third material groove 11 is horizontally arranged at the front end of the push rod 9. The first testing mechanism 12 mainly consists of a first testing module 13, a test pin 14, and a third cylinder 15. The test pin 14 is inserted into the first testing module 13 and is vertically positioned above the end of the second conveying channel 10, for contacting one end of the pin 16 of the connector 37. The second testing mechanism 17 mainly consists of a second testing module 18, a test pin 14, and a fourth cylinder 19. The test pin 14 is inserted into the second testing module 18 and is vertically positioned on one side of the end of the second conveying channel 10, for contacting the other end of the pin 16 of the connector. After the connector on the first material trough 2 enters the second material trough 6, it is pushed to the third material trough 11 by the push rod 9 and then conveyed to the first testing mechanism 12 and the second testing mechanism 17 for testing. The rear ends of the test pins 14 on the first testing mechanism 12 and the second testing mechanism 17 are connected to the testing terminal 27 via a connector cable 26.

[0032] Furthermore, it also includes a third conveying channel 20, which has a fourth material trough 21 for connectors to enter. One side of the third conveying channel 20 is equipped with an inclined plate 22, and the other side is connected to a fifth cylinder 23. When a connector 37 passes inspection, it is conveyed to the qualified area via the third conveying channel 20. When a connector 37 fails inspection, the fifth cylinder 23 is activated, moving the third conveying channel 20 to one side and conveying it to the unqualified area via the inclined plate 22.

[0033] Furthermore, a mounting base 25 is provided at the intersection of the first conveying channel 1, the first pushing mechanism 3, the second pushing mechanism 7, and the second conveying channel 10. The end of the first conveying channel 1 and the beginning of the second conveying channel 10 are fixed on the mounting base 25, and the push block 5 of the first pushing mechanism 3 and the push rod 9 of the second pushing mechanism 7 are slidably inserted into the mounting base 25. This facilitates the installation and connection of the aforementioned components.

[0034] Furthermore, a detection switch 28 is provided in front of the end of the first conveying channel 1 on the mounting base 25. This switch is used to detect whether there is a connector 37 on the push block 5. The push block is only pushed forward when a connector 37 is detected to prevent it from being pushed without contact with the material.

[0035] Furthermore, the test pin 14 has a cylindrical moving contact 29 at its front end and a square insertion portion 30 at its rear end. The cylindrical moving contact 29 enables it to make stable contact with the pins on the connector 37. The square insertion portion 30 enables it to be stably inserted into the ribbon cable 26.

[0036] Furthermore, the first test module 13 is fixed on the first slide block 31, which is slidably engaged with the first slide rail 32. The second test module 18 is fixed on the second slide block 33, which is slidably engaged with the second slide rail 34. This ensures stable sliding of the first test module 13 and the second test module 18, guaranteeing contact with the pins of the connector 37.

[0037] Furthermore, it also includes a test table 35, on which the first conveying channel 1, the first pushing mechanism 3, the second pushing mechanism 7, the second conveying channel 10, the first testing mechanism 12, and the second testing mechanism 17 are all installed.

[0038] Furthermore, a guide rod 38 is provided below the top rod 9. The guide rod 38 is inserted into the mounting base 25 to ensure stable sliding of the top rod 9.

[0039] Working principle: The connector 37 is fed into the first transmission channel 1 via a vibratory feeder or manually. Then, through the cooperation of the first pushing mechanism 3, the second pushing mechanism 7, and the second transmission channel 10, the connector 37 is accurately transferred to the first testing mechanism 12 and the second testing mechanism 17. During testing, the testing module slides towards the connector side via a cylinder, causing the test probe to contact the corresponding pin. Finally, it is connected to the testing terminal via a ribbon cable to realize the electrical performance testing of the connector 37.

[0040] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions and improvements made within the spirit and principles of the present invention are included within the protection scope of the present invention.
