Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of detection, and in particular relates to an automatic separation mechanism and a testing device. Background Art

[0002] Currently, testing of air conditioner photosensitive detection boards requires manual testing of the supporting motherboard due to their specialized functions, which can easily lead to missed detections. The test can only test four units, requiring visual identification, manual XOR determination, and manual masking of the photoresistor to determine whether the photosensitive function is functioning properly based on changes in resistance. This is prone to missed detections, and testing efficiency is low, with a high probability of missed detections. One person testing four units at a time requires three people per line, and testing speed cannot keep up with production speed, resulting in low production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0026] In order to better understand the purpose, structure and function of the present invention, an automatic separation mechanism and a testing device of the present invention are further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0027] like Figure 1 As shown, a testing device of the present invention includes a housing 1 with a workbench 11 formed on the housing 1. A circuit board to be tested is connected to the workbench 11. An automatic separation mechanism is provided in the workbench 11 to separate the qualified circuit board from the testing device.

[0028] Combine Figure 2 As shown, the automatic separation mechanism includes an interface 2 provided on a workbench 11, into which a terminal plug 3 electrically connected to the circuit board to be tested is inserted; a needle plate 4 driven to rise and fall is provided on the lower side of the workbench 11, and a pin header 41 is provided on the pin plate 4; when the pin header 41 is driven to rise, the pin header 41 is located in the interface 2 and is provided for the terminal plug 3 to be inserted; when the pin header 41 is driven to descend, the pin header 41 and the terminal plug 3 remaining in the interface 2 are separated; when the pin header 41 is driven to rise again, the terminal plug 3 is pushed out of the interface 2 by the pin header 41.

[0029] Combine Figure 3 As shown, a needle holder 21 is formed on the side wall of the interface 2, and the terminal plug 3 is snapped into the needle holder 21. A clamping plate 31 is provided on one side of the terminal plug 3. The middle of the clamping plate 31 and the side of the terminal plug 3 are connected by an integrally formed elastic fulcrum 32. A clamping block 311 is formed on the lower side of the clamping plate 31, protruding toward the side close to the terminal plug 3. The needle holder 21 is formed with a clamping slot 211 for the lower end of the clamping plate 31 to be inserted into. A protrusion 212 is formed on the edge of the clamping slot 211, which engages with the clamping block 311.

[0030] In order to achieve automatic release of the locking structure, a pressing head 312 is formed on the upper side of the locking plate 31, protruding toward the side away from the terminal plug 3, and an inclined extrusion surface 213 is formed on the upper edge of the needle seat 21; when the pin row 41 descends and separates from the terminal plug 3, the terminal plug 3 slides down in the socket, and the extrusion surface 213 presses the pressing head 312 inward, so that the locking block 311 and the protrusion 212 are separated.

[0031] Combine Figure 4As shown, in order to ensure that the terminal plug 3 remains in the needle seat 21, positioning blocks 33 protruding outward are formed at both ends of the terminal plug 3, and a stop is formed on the upper side of the inner wall of the interface 2. The stop abuts against the bottom surface of the positioning block 33 to limit the descending distance of the terminal plug 3.

[0032] Furthermore, guide blocks 34 are formed on both sides of the terminal plug 3 , and guide grooves for the guide blocks 34 to slide into are formed on the inner wall of the interface 2 , so as to facilitate alignment of the pin header 41 and the terminal plug 3 .

[0033] In order to improve the detection efficiency, the workbench 11 is provided with multiple groups of interfaces 2, and the pin plate 4 is provided with pin rows 41 corresponding to each interface 2. By lifting the pin plate 4, the terminal plugs 3 of multiple circuit boards are pressed out at the same time.

[0034] Combine Figure 5 As shown, the needle plate 4 is raised and lowered by a cylinder 5. Cylinder 5 is fixedly mounted within housing 1, and its piston rod is fixedly connected to needle plate 4. Housing 1 also includes a guide plate 6, which has a through hole for the piston rod to pass through. A guide sleeve, which fits over the piston rod, is fixedly mounted within the through hole, thereby ensuring the relative position of needle plate 4 and interface 2.

[0035] A tilted screen 12 is provided on one side of the workbench 11 to display the test values ​​for easy viewing by the inspector. For ease of operation, the screen 12 is a touch screen. Furthermore, a manual switch is provided on the housing 1, which causes the cylinder 5 to drive the pin header 41 upward.

[0036] When all the tested products are qualified, the screen 12 displays the value of each product and outputs a qualified interface; the cylinder 5 is driven to move according to the control signal to achieve the separation of the device and the product.

[0037] When the test results are unqualified, the screen 12 shows which detection index of the corresponding channel is unqualified, the device alarms, and the operator needs to pick out the unqualified products, but the cylinder 5 will not pop up. The inspector needs to pick out the unqualified products, close the switch to pop up the cylinder 5, and then put the qualified products back to the production line.

[0038] According to the detection requirements, the shell 1 can be equipped with a 15F2K48S4 programmable controller, a temperature sensor package, and a CD4051BE acquisition chip. The programmable controller detects the humidity sensitivity value of the humidity sensor chip and the resistance value of the temperature sensor package. The program is written using the programmable controller to communicate with the touch screen to achieve human-computer interaction. The analog voltage acquisition value is acquired through 6 8-channel CD4051BE acquisition chips, and the working voltage and photosensitivity value of the sixteen-station photosensitive detection board are converted by the CD4051BE acquisition chip into a digital voltage value and transmitted to the controller. The control program is then written to make judgments and comparisons, and displayed on the human-computer interface. The comparison range is written into the PLC control and displayed on the touch screen, and the judgment range can be set. The circuit settings in the shell 1 are all existing technologies and will not be repeated in this embodiment. Similarly, different detection modules can be built into the shell 1 according to different detection parameters.
