Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of testing, and in particular to a pneumatic locking mechanism for a jig. Background Art

[0002] At present, in the field of electronic testing, it is necessary to test and experiment the functions, power calibration, life, performance, etc. of products. However, this requires a variety of test fixtures, which can be roughly classified into three categories: manual, semi-automatic and automatic. Among them, semi-automatic test fixtures are the most widely used in the current electronic testing industry. Semi-automatic test fixtures are divided into two categories: with flip cover and without flip cover. If the product test needs to shield light and interference, and protection is required for high-voltage testing, a semi-automatic test fixture with a flip cover will be selected for testing.

[0003] However, the existing semi-automatic test fixture with flip cover has the following defects in the locking process:

[0004] In the prior art, a snap-on locking mechanism is generally used, but this locking structure needs to be opened manually and the snap is easily damaged. It is relatively difficult for operators to manually open a flip cover of a larger size. In addition, if the flip cover is not opened in time to load the next product to be tested when the test is completed, it will affect the production output value. If the operator mistakenly opens the flip cover prematurely during the test, it will cause a poor test. Summary of the invention

[0005] In order to overcome the deficiencies of the prior art, one of the objectives of the present invention is to provide a pneumatic locking mechanism for a jig, which can solve the problems of inconvenient opening and easy damage of the buckle.

[0006] One of the purposes of the present invention is achieved by the following technical solution:

[0008] Furthermore, the jig pneumatic locking mechanism also includes a slide rail and a slider slidably mounted on the slide rail, the slide rail is fixed to the lower part of the mounting seat, and the slider is fixedly connected to the inner connecting part.

[0009] Furthermore, the pushing assembly includes a push rod, a nut threadedly connected to the end of the push rod, and a push plate abutting against the nut.

[0011] Furthermore, the mounting seat is provided with a slide groove, and the inner connecting part slides along the slide groove.

[0012] Furthermore, the push rod is perpendicular to the nut.

[0013] Furthermore, there are two rolling disks, and the diameter of each rolling disk is greater than the diameter of the middle pin shaft.

[0014] Furthermore, the inner connecting portion is provided with a sliding groove matched with the rolling disk.

[0015] Furthermore, a mounting portion is provided in the middle of the driving cylinder, and the jig pneumatic locking mechanism also includes a travel switch, and the travel switch is installed on the mounting portion.

[0016] Furthermore, there are two travel switches, which are distributed at two ends of the mounting portion.

[0017] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0018] The two ends of the pre-stressed elastic member respectively abut against the external mounting cover and the pre-stressed elastic member; the driving cylinder is fixed to the mounting seat, and the two joints are respectively installed at the two ends of the driving cylinder. The driving cylinder is fixedly connected to the pushing assembly and drives the pushing assembly to move, and the pushing assembly is fixedly connected to the inner connecting part.

The setting of the rolling disk and the arc-shaped abutting end solves the problem of easy damage due to touch. The pre-stressed elastic member provides a certain elastic force for the arc-shaped abutting end, which can both ensure compression and avoid touch damage.
