Then the lifting rod 44 moves to control the position of the detection frame 41, so that the detection frame 41 is pressed downward. After the electromagnet 42 is energized, the electromagnet 42 can attract the control board 43, so that the control board 43 drives the detection head 3 to move, so that the detection head 3 moves and retracts, and the detection head 3 extending outward is connected with the module. The module is tested by touching the lifting rod 44, and when the module is qualified after the test is completed, the lifting rod 44 retracts to make the inspection frame 41 rise, and then the clamping block 24 is opened manually to make the limit protrusion 25 break away from the restriction of the clamping plate 22, so as to remove the module. When the test is completed and it is unqualified, the motor 32 rotates to drive the winding disk 31 to reel in, and after the connecting rope 33 is reeled in, the push plate 34 is mobilized to move, and the push plate 34 moves to squeeze the hydraulic pipe 35, so that the internal hydraulic oil is pushed, so that the push rod 36 is lifted up, and after the connecting rope 33 is reeled in, the clamping block 24 is driven to move, so that the clamping block 24 is opened, and after the push rod 36 is lifted up, the module can be recovered to the inside of the recovery frame 37 and slide down through the guide rail 38.
