Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of server mainboard testing, and in particular to a server mainboard function testing machine. Background Art

[0002] The server motherboard is a mainboard specially developed to meet the high stability, high performance and high compatibility requirements of the server. The server has a long operating time, high operating intensity, large data conversion volume and high power consumption. Therefore, the requirements for the server motherboard are very strict, and it is often necessary to test whether its functions are intact.

[0003] In the prior art, the side of the server motherboard is provided with a power interface, and the top surface is provided with a line terminal. The operation mode during the test is mainly that the operator manually inserts the test plugs into the power interface of the server motherboard one by one, and then places the test pins on the line terminals of the server motherboard to perform the test to check whether the functions of the server motherboard meet the requirements. This operation mode is time-consuming and labor-intensive, cumbersome to operate, and has low work efficiency. In addition, the motherboard cannot be well fixed during the test process, which easily causes the test to be interrupted, and the motherboard is easily dropped and damaged. Summary of the invention

[0004] In order to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art, the present invention provides a server motherboard function tester, which can complete the wiring process at one time and improve work efficiency.

[0010] As an improvement of the above technical solution, a second guide member is vertically arranged on the base, and the pressure plate can slide along the second guide member.

[0011] As an improvement of the above technical solution, a third limiting groove is vertically arranged on the base, and a third limiting pin is arranged on the pressure plate, and the third limiting pin can slide in the third limiting groove.

[0012] As an improvement of the above technical solution, a handle is hinged on the base, a connecting rod is hinged on the middle of the handle, and one end of the connecting rod is hinged on the pushing block.

[0013] The beneficial effects of the present invention are:

[0014] The test machine sets the test plug on the push block, which drives the test plug to move horizontally toward the server motherboard so that the test plug is inserted into the power interface of the server motherboard. The pressure plate is provided with a test pin, which drives the test pin to move vertically downward so that the test pin contacts the line end point for functional testing. This test method can complete the wiring process in one go without manual wiring, which improves the shortcomings of the manual wiring test process in the original technology, is easy to operate, and can improve work efficiency.

[0028] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 The embodiment of the present invention provides a server motherboard function tester, comprising a base 1, a support plate 2, a push block 3 and a pressure plate 4. Figure 6 The support plate 2 is arranged on the base 1 for placing the server mainboard 5. A power interface 51 matching with the test plug 6 is arranged on one side of the server mainboard 5, and a line terminal 52 for testing is arranged on the top surface.

[0029] See also Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 A first guide member 11 is horizontally arranged on the base 1. In this embodiment, the first guide member 11 is specifically a guide rail. In other embodiments, the first guide member 11 can also be a slide groove or a lead screw. Figure 1 and Figure 3 The pushing block 3 is arranged on the right side of the support plate 2, the test plug 6 is installed on the left side of the support plate 2, a handle 8 is hinged on the base 1, a connecting rod 81 is hinged in the middle of the handle 8, and one end of the connecting rod 81 is hinged on the right side of the pushing block 3. When plugging in the wire, the operator only needs to turn the handle 8 to apply a driving force to the pushing block 3 to move the pushing block 3 to the left. The operation feels good and can save effort.

[0030] See also Figure 2 , Figure 7 , Figure 8 , Fig. 9 , Fig.10 , Fig.11 and Fig.12To facilitate installation and removal of the server motherboard 5, the support plate 2 can be moved horizontally along the guide rail toward the pressure plate 4. Figure 2 The support plate 2 is provided with a first limiting groove 21, and the push block 3 is provided with a first limiting pin 31, see Figure 7 and Figure 8 Before plugging in the wire, the first limit pin 31 contacts the right side of the first limit slot 21. Turn the handle 8, and the first limit pin 31 moves horizontally to the left in the first limit slot 21, so that the push block 3 moves horizontally along the guide rail toward the server motherboard 5, and the test plug 6 is inserted into the power interface 51 of the server motherboard 5. Fig. 9 and Fig.10 When the plugging is completed, the first limit pin 31 moves to the left side of the first limit slot 21. When the handle 8 is pushed continuously, the push block 3 transmits the driving force to the first limit slot 21 through the first limit pin 31, pushing the support plate 2 to move to the left. The test plug 6 and the server motherboard 5 do not transmit power, which can protect the test plug 6 and the power interface 51 of the server motherboard 5. In addition, after the test is completed, when the handle 8 is pulled to move the push block 3 to the right, the first limit pin 31 contacts the right side of the first limit slot 21, and the support plate 2 can be pulled to the right, and the first limit pin 31 will not be separated from the first limit slot 21. The base 1 is provided with a second limit slot 12, and the second limit slot 12 is parallel to the first limit slot 21. The support plate 2 is provided with a second limit pin 22, and the second limit pin 22 can only move in the second limit slot 12. When the pallet 2 moves to the left, the pallet 2 can move the server motherboard 5 to the correct position so that the test pin 7 on the pressure plate 4 can accurately contact the line terminal 52 on the server motherboard 5. After the test is completed, when the pallet 2 is pulled to the right, the pallet 2 will not slide off the base 1.

[0031] See also Figure 1 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Fig.11 and Fig.12 The pressure plate 4 is arranged on the left side of the base 1, and the pressure plate 4 is provided with a test pin 7. A second guide member 13 is vertically arranged on the base 1. In this embodiment, the second guide member 13 is specifically a guide rail. In other embodiments, the second guide member 13 can also be a slide groove or a lead screw. Fig.11 and Fig.12When the first limit pin 31 contacts the left side of the first limit slot 21, the push block 3 drives the pallet 2 to move horizontally to the left. When the second limit pin 22 contacts the left side of the second limit slot 12, the pallet 2 stops moving to the left. At this time, the pressure plate 4 moves downward. A positioning column 42 is provided on the pressure plate 4, and a positioning hole 23 is provided on the pallet 2. When the pressure plate 4 moves downward, the positioning column 42 is inserted into the positioning hole 23 to prevent the test from being interrupted due to the sliding of the pallet 2 on the base 1 during the test. If the pallet 2 fails to drive the server motherboard 5 to the correct position, the positioning column 42 will contact the base 1 or the pallet 2, so that the pressure plate 4 cannot continue to move downward, thereby protecting the test pin 7 from being damaged. The downward movement of the pressure plate 4 can make the test pin 7 on the pressure plate 4 contact the line terminal 52 of the server motherboard 5. At this time, the test preparation work is completed and the test can be started. See. Figure 4 and Figure 5 A third limiting groove 14 is provided on the base 1, and a third limiting pin 41 is provided on the pressing plate 4. The third limiting pin 41 can only move in the third limiting groove 14, which can prevent the pressing plate 4 from moving vertically downward too far and causing damage to the test needle 7, and can also prevent the pressing plate 4 from detaching from the base 1 when moving upward.
