[0024] The structure of the electric lifting and pressing die set for the testing machine provided by the present invention is as follows: Figure 1 , Figure 2 as well as Figure 4 As shown, it includes a casing 1, a lifting plate 2 is slidably connected inside the casing 1, and a lifting and pressing mechanism 3 is connected between the lifting plate 2 and the casing 1, and the lifting and pressing mechanism 3 is composed of a driving component 6, a rear scissors fork component 7 and a front scissors fork component 8. The driving component 6 is connected to the surface of the lifting plate 2, and the front and rear sides of the driving component 6 are respectively connected to the front and rear sides of the driving component 6.

[0025] During implementation, the front scissors fork assembly 8 and the rear scissors fork assembly 7 of the present invention are asymmetrically arranged with respect to the central axis of the driving assembly 6, and the horizontal distances between the front scissors fork assembly 8 and the rear scissors fork assembly 7 and the central axis of the driving assembly 6 differ by 10 mm. At the same time, the housing 1, the rear scissors fork assembly 7, the front scissors fork assembly 8, the left mounting plate 61 and the servo motor screw module 62 or the lifting plate 2 can form a parallelogram, which will make the force exerted on the lifting plate 2 during lifting more uniform.

[0027] During implementation, the servo motor screw module 62 drives the left mounting plate 61 and the right mounting plate 63 to move under the guidance of the guide sleeve 64 and the guide rod 65 .

[0028] Furthermore, if Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the rear scissor fork assembly 7 includes a rear upper connecting plate 71 and a rear lower connecting plate 72.

[0029] During implementation, the left mounting plate 61 and the right mounting plate 63 will cause the rear upper connecting plate 71 and the rear lower connecting plate 72 in the rear scissor fork assembly 7 to open or close when they move.

[0030] Furthermore, if Figure 4 as well as Figure 5 As shown, the front scissors fork assembly 8 is composed of a front upper connecting plate 81 and a front lower connecting plate 82. There are two front upper connecting plates 81 and two front lower connecting plates 82. The two front upper connecting plates 81 are respectively hinged to the left and right ends of the front side of the left mounting plate 61 and the right mounting plate 63, and the top end of the front upper connecting plate 81 is hinged to the inner surface of the top of the casing 1; the two front lower connecting plates 82 are respectively hinged to the outer surfaces of the two front upper connecting plates 81, and the bottom end of the front lower connecting plate 82 is hinged to the surface of the lifting carrier plate 2.

[0034] Working principle: When in use, first insert the upper mold fixture 4 into the interior of the lifting carrier plate 2 for assembly. After the upper mold fixture 4 is inserted, it is pressed down and fixed by the locking cylinder 42.

During the movement, the rear scissors fork assembly 7 and the front scissors fork assembly 8 will be opened or closed, so that the lifting carrier plate 2 can realize the lifting function. At the same time, since the front scissors fork assembly 8 and the rear scissors fork assembly 7 of the present invention are asymmetrically arranged with respect to the central axis of the driving assembly 6, and the horizontal distances of the front scissors fork assembly 8 and the rear scissors fork assembly 7 to the central axis of the driving assembly 6 are 10 mm different, at the same time, the casing 1, the rear scissors fork assembly 7, the front scissors fork assembly 8, the left mounting plate 61 and the right mounting plate 63 or the lifting carrier plate 2 can form a parallelogram, which will make the lifting carrier plate 2 more uniform in the lifting force.

[0035] When the lifting carrier plate 2 is pressed down, it will drive the upper mold fixture 4 to move downward to contact the PCBA. During the movement, the positioning work with the subsequent lower mold fixture is realized through the positioning pin 41. At the same time, when pressing down, the elastic force of the buffer spring 53 pushes the lower pressure frame 52 to move along the sleeve 51 to realize the buffering work when the upper mold fixture 4 is pressed down and contacts the PCBA.
