[0020] As Figures 1 to 7As shown, in this embodiment, the present invention includes a carrier plate 1, a clamping cylinder 2, a positioning module 3, and a needle insertion module 4. A product contouring groove 5 is provided in the middle of the upper end surface of the carrier plate 1. The product contouring groove 5 is matched with the main body of the product 7. Two sets of positioning modules 3 are arranged at the pressing positions on both sides of the upper end surface of the carrier plate 1. The movable ends of the two sets of positioning modules 3 are respectively matched with the two sides of the main body of the product 7. The needle insertion module 4 is arranged at the needle insertion position on the upper end surface of the carrier plate 1. The probe end of the needle insertion module 4 is matched with the end of the main body of the product 7. The clamping cylinder 2 is arranged at the lower end of the carrier plate 1. The two sets of movable ends of the clamping cylinder 2 are respectively matched with the driving ends of the two sets of positioning modules 3. As can be seen, since the main body of the product 7 is symmetrically designed and has a linkage mechanism, the clamping blocks on both sides in the Y-axis direction can be clamped simultaneously with only one power source. During the pressing process, the clamping cylinder 2 drives the two sets of positioning modules 3 to move towards each other, and the clamping blocks on both sides move synchronously, which ensures the accuracy of the movement position and simplifies the feeding process.

[0021] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the positioning module 3 includes a connecting plate 8, a first slide rail 9, an elastic pressure block 10, first probes 11, and a PCB adapter plate 12. The connecting plate 8 slides with the carrier plate 1 via the first slide rail 9. The elastic pressure block 10 is connected to the upper surface of the connecting plate 8. A plurality of first probes 11 are disposed at the pressing end of the elastic pressure block 10 and connected to the PCB adapter plate 12 at the other end of the elastic pressure block 10. The movable end of the clamping cylinder 2 drives the pressing end of the elastic pressure block 10 and the plurality of first probes 11 to cooperate with the pressing positions and the lower needle positions on both sides of the main body of the product 7, respectively. Thus, during the pressing process, the elastic pressure block 10 and the plurality of first probes 11 move synchronously. The plurality of first probes 11 first contact the lower needle position of the product 7 to achieve pre-positioning, and then press synchronously. After pressing is completed, the lower needle connection operation is completed without the need for separate driving.

[0022] like Figures 2 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, spring covers 13 are provided on both sides of the carrier plate 1. Floating springs 14 are provided between the two sets of spring covers 13 and the two sets of elastic pressure blocks 10. The two sets of floating springs 14 drive the two sets of elastic pressure blocks 10 and several first probes 11 to cooperate with the main body of the product 7. Therefore, when the positioning module 3 presses the workpiece being tested, the force is applied to it through the spring force. The cylinder only functions when releasing, preventing excessive pressure on the workpiece that could cause damage.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 4As shown in the embodiment, the two groups of movable ends of the clamping cylinder 2 are provided with clamping jaw blocks 15, which are matched with the elastic pressing blocks 10 close to one end of the product 7 through the carrier plate 1. As can be seen, the clamping jaw blocks 15 are matched with the elastic pressing blocks through the sliding grooves of the carrier plate 1, and the clamping cylinder 2 is opened to complete unlocking after detection.

The probe push block 17 is slidingly matched with the carrier plate 1 through the second sliding rail 16, and the plurality of second probes 18 are arranged at the lower needle end of the probe push block 17. The probe push block 17 drives the plurality of second probes 18 to be matched with the lower needle position of the end portion of the main body of the product 7. As can be seen, after positioning is completed, the plurality of second probes 18 are pushed to the lower needle position through the second sliding rail 16 to realize connection and conduction with the product 7.

[0025] As Figure 6 As shown in the embodiment, a buffer spring 19 is arranged between the probe end of the probe push block 17 and the carrier plate 1, and the probe push block 17 is floatingly matched with the carrier plate 1 through the second sliding rail 16 and the buffer spring 19. As can be seen, the buffer spring 17 provides pressure buffering and resetting functions.

[0026] As Figure 2 As shown in the embodiment, the carrier plate 1 is provided with a lower needle cylinder 20, the movable end of the lower needle cylinder 20 is provided with a roller 21, the side corresponding to the roller 21 of the probe push block 17 is provided with an inclined surface 22, and the lower needle cylinder 20 drives the roller 21 to be matched with the inclined surface 22. As can be seen, the lower needle module 3 is matched with the roller 21 and the inclined surface 22, and is further matched with the buffer spring 17 for synchronous buffering, so that accurate lower needle testing can be performed after positioning is completed, without needle striking or overpressure, and the detection efficiency is higher.

[0027] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the embodiment, a wire positioning block 23 is arranged on the side of the carrier plate 1 away from the lower needle module 4, and the wire positioning block 23 is limitingly matched with the wire end of the product 7. As can be seen, the wire positioning block 23 realizes positioning of the wire end of the product 7, preventing the product from being deviated or bounced up during pressure bonding.

[0028] The working principle of the present application: in the initial state, the clamping cylinder 2 is in the extended state, at this time, two groups of positioning modules 3 are respectively in the state of opening outward at the same time, the product 7 main body part is vertically placed from top to bottom into the product profiling groove 5 of the carrier plate 1 by artificial or mechanical hand, the product 7 wire arrangement part is positioned by cooperating with the wire arrangement positioning block 23, after positioning, the clamping cylinder 2 is retracted, through the linkage mechanism, under the action of the floating spring 14 on both sides, two groups of positioning modules 3 respectively move synchronously to the middle, the clamping of the two sides of the product 7 main body part is completed, after clamping and positioning, the lower needle cylinder 20 drives the roller 21 to slide on the inclined surface 22, so that the probe push block 17 drives a plurality of second probes 18 to be connected with the lower needle position of the product 7 main body part end, and the conduction is completed, after conduction, the power-on detection is carried out, after detection, the probe push block 17 is reset, the movable end of the clamping cylinder 2 is extended, the product 7 is unlocked, the product 7 to be detected is replaced, and the above steps are repeated, so that the bidirectional linkage positioning test of the touch key product can be realized.
