[0050] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0051] It should also be understood that the terms used in this specification of the present application are only for describing specific realities. In the description of the present application, it should be understood that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise" and the like indicate the orientation or position relationship based on the orientation or position relationship shown in the drawings, which is only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, rather than indicating or implying that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application. In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes, and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of technical features indicated. Therefore, the features defined as "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of the features. In the description of the present application, the meaning of "multiple" is two or more, unless otherwise clearly and specifically defined.

[0052] In conjunction with the accompanying drawings, some embodiments of the present application are described in detail below. In the absence of conflict, the following embodiments and features in the embodiments can be combined with each other.

[0053] like Figures 1 to 24 As shown, the present application provides an efficient online functional testing equipment, including a loading and unloading mechanism 40 and a testing mechanism 50. The loading and unloading mechanism 40 is used to transport the FPC material to be tested to the testing mechanism 50 for functional testing. After the functional test is completed, the FPC material tested by the loading and unloading mechanism 40 is moved out of the testing mechanism 50, thereby directly intercepting defective products in the FPC material production stage, avoiding the discovery of abnormalities in the FPC material after it is assembled into a product, which leads to the scrapping of the entire product, and can improve product yield and customer satisfaction. Compared with manually placing the FPC material in the testing mechanism 50 for testing, only one FPC material can be placed in the testing mechanism 50 at a time, and there are many testing processes; at the same time, manual picking and placing has many hidden dangers, poor positioning, instability, and low efficiency. Therefore, the present application places the FPC material in the testing mechanism 50 for functional testing through the loading and unloading mechanism 40, which saves time and effort and has relatively low testing costs; among them, the testing of FPC materials is completed automatically to achieve assembly line operation, with extremely high work efficiency, and the performance results of the test can be unified within a standard, and the quality and accuracy of the test are guaranteed, making the invention highly competitive in the market.

[0054] In an optional embodiment, the testing equipment also includes a loading and conveying mechanism 30 and a unloading and conveying structure 60, which are arranged on opposite sides of the testing mechanism 50, and the loading and conveying mechanism 40 is used to transfer the FPC material to be tested on the loading and conveying mechanism 30 to the testing mechanism 50 for functional testing; after the functional test is completed, the FPC material tested by the loading and conveying mechanism 40 is transferred from the testing mechanism 50 to the unloading and conveying structure 60. The entire functional testing process is automatically loaded and unloaded by the loading and unloading mechanism 40, so that an effective circulation operation of a testing device is realized, and no human intervention is required throughout the process. One person can monitor multiple testing devices, so as to realize continuous production operations, save labor costs, and greatly improve the efficiency and quality of FPC material functional testing.

[0055] It should be noted that the FPC material can be placed on the carrier 100, and then transferred through the loading and conveying mechanism 30. The loading and unloading mechanism 40 takes out the FPC material on the carrier 100 and places it in the testing mechanism 50 for functional testing. After the functional test is completed, the loading and unloading mechanism 40 takes out the FPC material from the testing mechanism 50 and places it on the carrier 100 of the unloading and conveying structure 60. Among them, the carrier 100 can be placed on the loading and conveying mechanism 30 manually, which is mainly for when the number of FPC materials that need functional testing is small; when the number of FPC materials that need functional testing is large, the carrier 100 can be placed in the carrier storage and conveying mechanism 20 of the test equipment, and the carrier storage and conveying mechanism 20 can transfer the carrier 100 to the loading and conveying mechanism 30, or move the carrier 100 on the unloading and conveying structure 60 back to the carrier storage and conveying mechanism 20. No manual intervention is required throughout the process, and continuous production operations can be achieved, saving labor costs, and greatly improving the efficiency and quality of FPC material function testing.

[0056] In an optional embodiment, the testing equipment includes a frame 10, the frame 10 includes a shell assembly 12 and a main structure 11, the tray storage and handling mechanism 20, the loading and conveying mechanism 30, the unloading and conveying structure 60, the loading and unloading mechanism 40 and the testing mechanism 50 are all arranged on the main structure 11, the shell assembly 12 is covered on the outside of the main structure 11 and is provided with multiple sets of displays for display and / or interactive operation, so that the operator can operate the testing equipment on the display conveniently, and can view the operating status of the testing equipment based on the display.

[0057] In an optional embodiment, the main structure 11 is divided into four installation areas, namely the first installation area, the second installation area, the third installation area and the fourth installation area. The third installation area and the fourth installation area are arranged between the first installation area and the second installation area and extend along the first direction. The first installation area and the second installation area extend along the second direction, so that the four installation areas form a rectangular shape. Among them, the tray storage and handling mechanism 20 is arranged in the third installation area, that is, the upper side of the middle of the main structure 11; the loading and conveying mechanism 30 is arranged in the first installation area, that is, the left side of the main structure 11; the testing mechanism 50 is arranged in the fourth installation area, that is, the lower side of the middle of the main structure 11; the unloading and conveying mechanism is arranged in the second installation area, that is, the right side of the main structure 11.

[0058] When the testing equipment is started, the tray storage and transport mechanism 20 transfers the tray 100 with the FPC material to the loading and conveying mechanism 30, and the loading and conveying mechanism 30 transfers the FPC material on the tray 100 to the lower side of the main structure 11, and the loading and unloading mechanism 40 transfers the FPC material to the testing mechanism 50 for functional testing. After the functional test is completed, the loading and unloading mechanism 40 takes the FPC material out of the testing mechanism 50 and places it on the tray 100 of the unloading and conveying structure 60, and then the unloading and conveying structure 60 transfers the tray 100 to the upper side of the main structure 11, so that the tray storage and transport mechanism 20 can transfer the tray 100 on the unloading and conveying structure 60. Among them, by planning the layout space of the tray storage and handling mechanism 20, the loading and conveying mechanism 30, the testing mechanism 50 and the unloading and conveying mechanism, and the conveying route of the FPC material, the layout space inside the frame 10 can be saved, the compactness and safety of the test equipment can be ensured, and the tray storage and handling mechanism 20, the loading and conveying mechanism 30, the testing mechanism 50 and the unloading and conveying mechanism can be avoided from being exposed outside the shell assembly 12. In this way, whether the test equipment is shut down or working, it can be protected, which solves the safety hazard caused by the tray storage and handling mechanism 20, the loading and conveying mechanism 30, the testing mechanism 50 and the unloading and conveying mechanism being exposed when working, and effectively avoids the tray storage and handling mechanism 20, the loading and conveying mechanism 30, the testing mechanism 50 and the unloading and conveying mechanism from direct contact with water vapor in the air, which affects their service life, improves the safety of use, and ensures the overall appearance structure of the test equipment.

[0059] In an optional embodiment, a feed port is provided on one side of the housing assembly 12 so that the FPC material can be manually placed in the loading and conveying mechanism 30 .

[0060] In an optional embodiment, the test equipment includes a gas source assembly and a power supply assembly, and the gas source assembly and the power supply assembly are located on different sides or opposite sides of the rack 10. The technical effect of gas-electricity separation is achieved through spatial isolation, thereby improving the safety performance of the test equipment; at the same time, it also facilitates the orderly discharge of lines and pipelines, making the safety factor of the test equipment higher and ensuring the safety of use.

[0061] Exemplarily, the gas source assembly includes a gas circuit and a gas source switch, and the power supply assembly includes a circuit and a power switch. The gas circuit and the gas source switch are arranged at the lower end of the frame 10 and located on one side of the frame 10; the circuit and the power switch are arranged at the lower end of the frame 10 and located on the other side of the frame 10. The gas circuit and the circuit enter from the lower end of the frame 10 to the tray storage and handling mechanism 20, the loading conveying mechanism 30, the testing mechanism 50 and the unloading conveying mechanism.

[0062] In an optional embodiment, the test equipment includes a motion control distribution board, which is disposed at the lower end of the rack 10 and located on a side close to the power supply assembly, and the power supply assembly is electrically connected to the motion control distribution board.

[0063] In an optional embodiment, the testing device includes an FFU module 70, which is installed on the top of the rack 10 for dust removal and anti-static effect.

[0064] In an optional embodiment, the carrier material storage and transportation mechanism 20 includes a carrier material placement mechanism 21 and a material transfer mechanism 22. The material transfer mechanism 22 is arranged above the carrier material placement mechanism 21, and is used to transfer the carrier 100 to the loading conveying mechanism 30 of the testing equipment or to transfer the carrier 100 on the unloading conveying structure 60 of the testing equipment to the carrier material placement mechanism 21.

[0065] In an optional embodiment, the carrier tray placement mechanism 21 includes a first carrier tray 100 assembly, a second carrier tray 100 assembly and a third carrier tray 100 assembly, wherein the first carrier tray 100 assembly is used to place the carrier tray 100 of the FPC material to be tested, the second carrier tray 100 assembly is used to place the carrier tray 100 of the FPC material after the test is completed, and the third carrier tray 100 assembly is used to place an empty carrier tray 100, so that the carrier tray 100 of the FPC material to be tested can place the empty carrier tray 100 on the third carrier tray 100 assembly after the FPC material is transported to the testing mechanism 50, and when there is no empty carrier tray 100 on the second carrier tray 100 assembly, the empty carrier tray 100 on the third carrier tray 100 assembly can be transferred to the second carrier tray 100 assembly so that the FPC material after the test can be placed, that is, the third carrier tray 100 assembly mainly plays a transfer role. Among them, the third carrier tray 100 assembly is arranged between the first carrier tray 100 assembly and the second carrier tray 100 assembly.

[0066] Exemplarily, before the test equipment is started, a plurality of trays 100 containing materials to be tested are stacked on the first tray 100 assembly, and at least one of the second tray 100 assembly and the third tray 100 assembly is provided with an empty tray 100, so that the material moving mechanism 22 can transfer the tray 100 containing the FPC material to be tested to the loading and conveying mechanism 30. When the loading and unloading mechanism 40 transfers all the FPC materials to be tested on the tray 100 to the testing mechanism 50, the loading and conveying mechanism 30 transports the tray 100 back and transfers it to the third tray 100 assembly through the material moving mechanism 22. After the functional test is completed, the loading and unloading mechanism 40 transfers the FPC material from the testing mechanism 50 to the tray 100 of the unloading and conveying mechanism. The carrier tray 100 on the unloading conveying mechanism is transferred from the second carrier tray 100 assembly, and the carrier tray 100 of the second carrier tray 100 assembly can be transferred from the third carrier tray 100 assembly, or manually placed on the second carrier tray 100 assembly before the test equipment is started. When the unloading conveying mechanism transfers the carrier tray 100 containing the tested FPC material to the upper side of the main structure 11, the material transfer mechanism 22 transfers the carrier tray 100 to the second carrier tray 100 assembly or stacks it in the second carrier tray 100 assembly, and then transfers the empty carrier tray 100 on the third carrier tray 100 assembly to the unloading conveying mechanism, so that the tested FPC material can be placed.

[0067] In an optional embodiment, the carrier placement mechanism 21 includes a carrier 100 lifting assembly and a carrier placement plate 212 for placing the carrier 100. The carrier 100 lifting assembly is used to drive the carrier placement plate 212 to move in the height direction so that more carriers 100 can be placed, reducing the time of manual operation, realizing continuous production operations, saving labor costs, and greatly improving the testing efficiency of FPC materials.

[0068] In an optional embodiment, the tray placement mechanism 21 includes a tray fixing member 211, and the tray 100 lifting assembly and the tray placement plate 212 are installed on the main structure 11 through the tray fixing member 211.

[0069] In an optional embodiment, the carrier 100 lifting assembly also includes a carrier 100 lifting guide, a carrier lifting screw assembly 214 and a carrier lifting driver 213. The carrier lifting driver 213 is connected to the carrier placement plate 212 through the carrier lifting screw assembly 214. The carrier 100 lifting guide is used to limit the moving direction of the carrier placement plate 212, so that the carrier lifting driver 213 can drive the carrier placement plate 212 to move up and down within a preset height.

[0070] In an optional embodiment, the carrier placement mechanism 21 further includes a height sensing component 215, which is used to sense the height of the carrier 100 placed on the carrier placement plate 212, so as to more realistically feedback the real-time height position of the carrier placement plate 212, thereby facilitating more precise control.

[0071] In an optional embodiment, the height sensing component 215 includes a first height sensor and a second height sensor, and the first height sensor and the second height sensor are arranged on adjacent sides of the carrier plate 212, which can not only more realistically feedback the real-time height position of the carrier plate 212, but also avoid the carrier 100 from being in a height imbalance state.

[0072] In an optional embodiment, the material moving mechanism 22 includes a material moving drive assembly and a material moving clamping assembly. The material moving drive assembly is used to drive the material moving clamping assembly to reciprocate along a first direction, and the material moving clamping assembly is used to clamp the carrier 100 on the carrier placement mechanism 21.

The material moving clamping claw member 223 is movably installed above the carrier plate placement mechanism 21 through the material moving support seat 221. The material moving drive 222 is used to drive the material moving clamping claw member 223 to move back and forth along the first direction, so that the carrier plates 100 on the first carrier plate 100 assembly, the second carrier plate 100 assembly and the third carrier plate 100 assembly can be transferred, and the carrier plate 100 can be transferred between the first carrier plate 100 assembly and the loading conveying mechanism 30, and the carrier plate 100 can be transferred between the second carrier plate 100 assembly and the unloading conveying mechanism.
