Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of PCB testing, in particular to a PCB electrical performance testing device. BACKGROUND

[0002] PCB, as a carrier for realizing reliable electrical connection of electronic components, is widely used in the fields of aviation, aerospace, shipbuilding, electronics and weapon equipment in the military industry. Nowadays, military PCB components are developing towards high density, small pitch and multi-layer, which leads to the bottleneck of high process difficulty and high complexity in the process of PCB component forming, and some PCBs after forming often have performance defects such as short circuit, open circuit and leakage. If the faulty parts cannot be screened in time after the PCB is formed, it will cause unnecessary cost waste in the subsequent manufacturing process. Therefore, how to quickly, accurately and non-destructively test the electrical performance of PCB during the PCB forming process has become one of the bottlenecks restricting the development of PCB manufacturing industry.

[0003] In recent years, with the development of PCB performance testing towards elastic contact and non-destructive testing, the testing technology based on the contact form of the button has become one of the key technologies leading the breakthrough of PCB performance testing, and the outstanding welding-free performance and low structure advantage of the button contact can also be applied to the electrical performance testing of PCBs with various structures.

[0004] The commonly used PCB electrical performance testing methods mainly include three kinds of testing methods: special type, general type and flying needle type. The special type test uses a special fixture for testing, which is only suitable for one type of PCB model. Its advantage is strong speciality, and its disadvantage is low universality. The basic principle of general type test is that the layout of PCB circuit is designed according to grid (i.e. circuit density), and is processed and designed according to hole position. Its advantage is that the probe can be reused, and its disadvantage is that it is only suitable for low density pitch test. The principle of flying needle test is to move two probes in X, Y and Z directions to test the two end points of each circuit one by one, so it does not need to make professional fixtures. Its advantage is that the testing method is simple, and its disadvantage is that the testing speed is slow.

[0005] As disclosed in the patent document with publication number CN220231914U, a PCB testing device is specifically disclosed, which comprises a test box, a test structure connected to the test box, a replacement structure and a pressing structure. The test structure comprises a needle plate and a mounting groove. The needle plate is detachably connected to the test box. The PCB body is installed in the mounting groove. The PCB body is fully contacted with the probe by the pressing structure. The pressing plate is quickly replaced by the limiting structure, which is suitable for applying downward pressure to PCB bodies of different sizes. The device adopts the general type test principle, which is only suitable for low density pitch test.

[0006] In summary, the current prior art generally exists poor test accuracy, low universality, slow test speed and other defects. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a test device based on the contact form test technology of the button to realize the rapid, accurate and non-destructive test of the electrical performance in the PCB forming process.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present invention, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0029] Combination Figures 1 to 7 The image shows a specific embodiment of a PCB electrical performance testing device provided by the present invention, the details of which are as follows:

A mounting platform is provided on the inner side of the upper base 1. The bottom surface of the mounting platform is provided with a mounting hole that penetrates the upper base 1 and the lower base 2. The snap-fit ​​assembly is fixed to the base assembly through the mounting hole. The tail wire 14 is located below the snap-fit ​​assembly. The above device has a simple structure and is versatile. By setting the snap-fit ​​assembly, the design can be quickly matched according to the height variation of different PCBs, so as to realize accurate and non-destructive testing of the electrical performance of PCBs under test at different heights. Moreover, the base assembly is a split structure, which can realize the rapid assembly of the testing device.

[0031] In this embodiment, the studs 3 are disposed at the four corners of the upper base 1 and the lower base 2. The positioning end 16 of the studs 3 is placed in the lower base 2. The part of the studs 3 protruding from the upper base 1 is provided with threads 15. The middle part of the studs 3 is provided with square protrusions 13. By providing threads on the studs 3, the PCB under test and the testing device can be reliably locked. By providing the positioning end 16 of the studs 3, the studs 3 can be fixed in the base assembly, making it less prone to displacement and making the fit with the PCB under test more reliable. The square protrusions 13 make it less prone to rotation of the studs 3.

[0032] In this embodiment, a square groove is formed at the bottom of the upper base 1 to cooperate with the square protrusion 13. The square protrusion 13 is completely embedded in the square groove. The cooperation between the square protrusion 13 and the square groove ensures that the stud 3 will not rotate when the PCB under test is locked with the test device, thus playing a role in preventing rotation and improving the locking effect.

The floating contact cap pointed corner step 11 is below the floating contact cap pointed corner 10. The tail end of the floating contact cap 6 is provided with a round ladder column body 12. The floating contact cap pointed corner step 11 has a limiting function through the arrangement of the floating contact cap pointed corner 10 and the floating contact cap pointed corner step 11. The floating contact cap pointed corner 10 can axially float, and can be used with different PCB height changes. The tail end of the floating contact cap 6 is provided with a round ladder column body 12 structure, which can be fixed in the mounting hole of the upper base 1 by stamping, and has better stability.

[0038] In the embodiment, the diameter of the floating contact cap pointed corner step 11 is greater than the metal hole diameter of the PCB to be tested and less than twice the width of the center point of the mounting hole of the inner wall of the mounting table. The design diameter is greater than the metal hole diameter of the PCB to be tested, which can ensure that the PCB to be tested will not damage the test fixture after being locked with the test device, so as to realize the reusability of the test device and reduce the test cost.
