DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The present invention is described below in conjunction with specific implementation methods.

[0033] Embodiment 1, a bending durability testing method, comprising the following steps, specifically:

[0034] Step a, preparing a test fixture;

[0035] Among them, Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the test fixture includes a fixture base 1, and the fixture base 1 is horizontally slidably mounted with a first slider 21 and a second slider 22, the first slider 21 and the second slider 22 are horizontally aligned and spaced apart, the first slider 21 is provided with a first internal threaded hole 211 that runs horizontally through, and the second slider 22 is provided with a second internal threaded hole 221 that runs horizontally through; a first clamping block 31 is mounted on the upper surface of the first slider 21, and a second clamping block 32 is mounted on the upper surface of the second slider 22;

[0036] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the fixture base 1 is equipped with a servo drive motor 41, and the power output shaft of the servo drive motor 41 is connected with a bidirectional drive screw 42, the left threaded portion of the bidirectional drive screw 42 is screwed into the first internal threaded hole 211 of the first slider 21, and the right threaded portion of the bidirectional drive screw 42 is screwed into the second internal threaded hole 221 of the second slider 22;

[0037] like Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the first slider 21 or the second slider 22 is fastened with a driving slider 5, and the driving slider 5 is provided with an inclined driving inclined surface 51; the fixture base 1 is screwed with a pressure rod mounting seat 6 on the rear side of the driving slider 5, and the pressure rod mounting seat 6 is vertically slidably mounted with a movable pressure rod assembly 7, and the movable pressure rod assembly 7 is provided with a roller 71 that is in rolling contact with the driving inclined surface 51 of the driving slider 5;

[0038] Step b, electrically connecting the servo drive motor 41 to the controller, and setting the speed and the number of forward and reverse rotations through the controller;

[0039] Step c, placing the FPC product 100 to be tested, the left end of the FPC product 100 is clamped and fixed on the upper surface of the first slider 21 by the first clamping block 31, and the right end of the FPC product 100 is clamped and fixed on the upper surface of the second slider 22 by the second clamping block 32;

[0040] Step d, starting the servo drive motor 41 through the controller, the servo drive motor 41 operates according to the speed parameters and the forward and reverse rotation times parameters set by the controller, and the FPC product 100 performs a bending operation;

[0041] Step e: after the servo drive motor 41 has completed its operation, the FPC product 100 after the bending operation is removed from the first slider 21 and the second slider 22, and the FPC product 100 after the bending operation is inspected to confirm whether the FPC product 100 is intact, thereby completing the bending durability test of the FPC product 100.

[0042] It should be pointed out that, for the test fixture of the first embodiment of the present invention, during the bending test of the FPC product 100, when the servo drive motor 41 drives the first slider 21 and the second slider 22 to move closer together through the bidirectional drive screw 42, the drive slide 5 moves synchronously with the first slider 21 or the second slider 22, and the driving inclined surface 51 of the drive slide 5 drives the movable pressure rod assembly 7 to move downward. At this time, the movable pressure rod assembly 7 presses the FPC product 100 downward, thereby causing the FPC product 100 located between the first slider 21 and the second slider 22 to bend downward in a directional manner; when the servo drive motor 41 drives the first slider 21 and the second slider 22 to move away from each other through the bidirectional drive screw 42, the drive slide 5 moves synchronously with the first slider 21 or the second slider 22, and the driving inclined surface 51 of the drive slide 5 drives the movable pressure rod assembly 7 to move upward. At this time, the movable pressure rod assembly 7 retreats upward from the FPC product 100, thereby causing the FPC product 100 located between the first slider 21 and the second slider 22 to return to a flattened state.

[0043] Based on the above, it can be seen that through the test fixture of the first embodiment and the corresponding steps, the bending durability test method of the present invention can effectively implement the bending durability test of the FPC product 100, and can effectively implement the directional bending test of the FPC product 100.

[0044] Embodiment 2, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the difference between the second embodiment and the first embodiment is that the movable pressure rod assembly 7 includes a vertical sliding rod 72 arranged vertically, and the upper end of the pressure rod mounting seat 6 is provided with a vertically penetrating mounting seat groove 61 corresponding to the vertical sliding rod 72, and the vertical sliding rod 72 is vertically slidably installed in the mounting seat groove 61.

[0047] It should be pointed out that when the movable pressure rod assembly 7 moves upward, the driving inclined surface 51 of the driving slide 5 pushes the roller 71 upward, thereby causing the vertical slide rod 72 to move upward. The upward moving vertical slide rod 72 drives the supporting cross bar 74 and the FPC pressure rod 75 to move upward synchronously; when the movable pressure rod assembly 7 moves downward, the movable pressure rod automatically moves downward due to its own gravity.

[0048] It should be explained that when the movable pressing rod assembly 7 presses the FPC product 100 downward and causes the FPC product 100 to be oriented and bent, the third embodiment presses the FPC product 100 via the FPC pressing rod 75 .

[0049] Embodiment three, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the difference between the third embodiment and the second embodiment is that a slide bar groove 721 which completely penetrates the upper end of the vertical slide bar 72 is provided, and the rear end of the supporting cross bar 74 is inserted into the slide bar groove 721 of the vertical slide bar 72, and the rear end of the supporting cross bar 74 is fixed in the slide bar groove 721 by a locking screw 76.

[0050] For the movable pressure rod assembly 7 of the third embodiment of the present invention, the staff can adaptively adjust the position of the FPC pressure rod 75 forward and backward according to the position of the FPC product 100. When adjusting, first loosen the locking screw 76 between the vertical slide bar 72 and the supporting cross bar 74, and then move the supporting cross bar 74 forward and backward along the slide bar groove 721; after the supporting cross bar 74 moves forward and backward into place, re-tighten the locking screw 76.

[0051] Embodiment 4, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the difference between the fourth embodiment and the second embodiment is that a vertically penetrating cross bar groove 741 is provided at the front end of the supporting cross bar 74, the FPC pressure rod 75 is inserted into the cross bar groove 741 of the supporting cross bar 74, and the FPC pressure rod 75 is fixed in the cross bar groove 741 by a locking bolt.

[0052] For the movable pressure rod assembly 7 of the fourth embodiment of the present invention, the staff can adaptively adjust the height position of the movable pressure rod. When adjusting, first loosen the locking screw 76 between the supporting cross bar 74 and the FPC pressure rod 75, and then vertically move the FPC pressure rod 75 along the cross bar slide groove 741 of the supporting cross bar 74; after the FPC pressure rod 75 is vertically adjusted into place, re-tighten the locking screw 76.

[0053] Embodiment 5, as Figures 1 to 4 As shown, the difference between the fifth embodiment and the first embodiment is that the left end side of the first slider 21 is screwed and fastened with a left fixed seat 81, the right end side of the second slider 22 is screwed and fastened with a right fixed seat 82, the left end of the driving screw is rotatably mounted on the left fixed seat 81 through a bearing 83, and the right end of the driving screw is rotatably mounted on the right fixed seat 82 through a bearing 83.

[0055] Embodiment six, as Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 4 As shown, the difference between the sixth embodiment and the first embodiment is that the driving slide 5 is provided with a slide block 52 , the fixture base 1 is screwed with a second guide rail 92 arranged parallel to the first guide rail 91 and spaced apart, and the slide block 52 is slidably mounted on the second guide rail 92 .

[0056] The above contents are only preferred embodiments of the present invention. For ordinary technicians in this field, according to the concept of the present invention, there will be changes in the specific implementation methods and application scopes. The content of this specification should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
