Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of servers, and in particular to a function test station for rotating two workstations of a server board. Background Art

[0002] With the rapid development of computers and their interconnection technologies (i.e., the so-called "network technologies" in general), servers have become the important backbones for big data or e-commerce so far. At the same time, server boards are the hearts of servers. After the server boards are produced, it is necessary to mention that FCT function tests need to be carried out.

[0003] According to different control modes, FCT function tests can be divided into manual control function tests, semi-automatic control function tests, and full-automatic control function tests, mainly in manual and semi-automatic modes. For the function tests of some simple boards under test, sometimes manual or semi-automatic test schemes are still adopted considering simplified design and reduced production costs. Most of the existing semi-automatic FCT function tests are open-top fixture designs.

[0004] The biggest disadvantage of fixture designs is low efficiency, and it is impossible to increase production in a short time. The loading and unloading of boards are the most time-consuming parts of FCT function tests. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention provides a function test station for rotating two workstations of a server board. Before placing the server main board in the working station, the unlocking cylinder pushes forward to the unlocking top position. The unlocking top position moves forward, with an internal unlocking spring. The product hook automatically opens. After the working station is opened, the operator can place the product into it. The tooling tray supports the entire working station. When the product is properly placed, the unlocking cylinder retracts, and the unlocking top position rebounds relying on the unlocking spring. The product hook automatically hooks the product to achieve the purpose of fixing the server main board.
