[0030] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the present invention proposes an ICT online testing station, including a machine 1, wherein the machine 1 is provided with a testing instrument, and the machine 1 is provided with

[0032] like Figure 2 As shown, an adjustable conveying device 2, the adjustable conveying device 2 includes two groups of bottom plates 3, a conveyor belt assembly is arranged across the bottom plates 3, and a lifting device is arranged at the lower part of the bottom plate 3, and the lifting device drives the bottom plate 3 to move up and down; a supporting flange 5 is arranged on the opposite side of the conveyor belt assembly, and the supporting flange 5 is used to support the PCB board 36 to be tested; specifically, the conveying assembly includes two groups of fixed conveying belts 6 and a movable conveying belt 4, and the two groups of structures respectively include a driving motor 21 and a driving wheel, and the movable conveying belt 4 and the fixed conveying belt 6 are driven to rotate by the driving motor 21 and the driving wheel respectively, and the PCB board 36 to be tested spans between the movable conveying belt 4 and the fixed conveying belt 6. In order to improve the supporting performance, a supporting flange 5 is arranged at the lower part of the movable conveying belt 4 and the fixed conveying belt 6, and the two ends of the PCB board are pressed on the supporting flange 5, and a lifting device is arranged at the lower part of the bottom plate 3, and the lifting device can select a cylinder or an electric cylinder to adjust the height of the adjustable conveying device 2.

[0033] like Figure 2As shown, the conveyor belt assembly is provided with a blocking mechanism, which includes a motor 21, and an L-shaped block 22 is connected to the output end of the motor 21. The L-shaped block 22 is used to limit the movement of the PCB board. Clicking and rotating the L-shaped block 22 to drive the end of the rotator to press on one side of the PCB board can limit the PCB board from continuing to move with the conveyor belt. That is, when the PCB board is transported on the conveyor belt, after reaching the detection position, the movement is stopped by the blocking mechanism, and then the bottom plate 3 is driven down by the jacking device. After the PCB board is placed on the lower detection fixture, the movable conveyor belt 4 can move to a position, that is: the two ends of the bottom of the movable conveyor belt 4 are fixed with connecting blocks 8, and the connecting blocks 8 are respectively connected to two groups of screw modules 7. The screw module 7 drives the movable conveyor belt 4 to approach or move away from the fixed conveyor belt 6. The entire group of movable conveyor belts 4 are controlled to move away from the fixed conveyor belt 6 by the screw module 7, so that the PCB board falls from the supporting flange 5 to the floating fixture 9 at the bottom.

[0034] like Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 7 As shown, a floating jig 9 is provided at the lower part of the conveyor belt assembly, a first probe plate 10 is provided on the machine platform 1 at the lower part of the floating jig 9, a plurality of first plug-in terminals 11 are provided on the first probe plate 10, and the first plug-in terminals 11 are electrically connected to the test instrument; a horizontal pushing device 12 is connected to the floating jig 9, the floating jig 9 includes a detection box 13, a second plug-in terminal 14 corresponding to the first plug-in terminal 11 is provided at the bottom of the detection box 13, and the horizontal pushing device 12 pushes the floating jig 9 in the horizontal direction, and the floating jig 9 moves downward so that the first plug-in terminal 11 is plugged with the second plug-in terminal 14;

[0035] A plurality of detection pins 18 are arranged on the top of the detection box 13. The number of the detection pins 18 is large and densely distributed on the top of the detection box 13. In order to keep the picture clear, only a few of them are shown in the figure. The detection pins 18 are electrically connected with the corresponding second plug-in terminals 14 in the detection box 13. The upper part of the detection box 13 is elastically connected with a carrier board 15, and the carrier board 15 is densely distributed with sockets 17 (only a part of them is shown in the figure). The detection probe corresponds to the socket 17, and the socket 17 corresponds to the detection point of the PCB board 36 to be tested. The pin passes through the socket 17 and is inserted into the PCB board 36 to be tested. The detection of different functions is realized by conducting the first plug-in terminal 11, the second plug-in terminal 14 and the detection pin 18.

[0036] Its specific working method is: the PCB board is transported on the conveyor belt, and after being stopped by the blocking mechanism, the lifting device drives the adjustable conveying device 2 to descend, so that the PCB board falls on the carrier 15 of the detection box 13. Since a spring 16 is arranged between the lower part of the carrier 15 and the top of the detection box 13, at this time, the PCB board 36 to be tested has not yet been plugged into the detection pin 18. The carrier 15 and the top of the detection box 13 are provided with a plurality of first guide columns 19 to ensure that the position between the carrier 15 and the detection box 13 is stable after the carrier 15 is pressed down, and to prevent the spring 16 from connecting. When the carrier 15 is pressed down, there is a lateral offset, which causes the pin to be unable to be aligned. The top of the carrier 15 is provided with a plurality of second guide columns 20, which are used to align the PCB board. There are also holes on the PCB board. Only after aligning with the second guide columns 20 can the accuracy of the position of the PCB board be determined, and the stability of the plugging can be ensured. At this time, the product is in place, and it is necessary to push the first plug-in terminal 11 and the second plug-in terminal 14 to be plugged in and connected.

[0037] Specifically: Figure 8 , Fig. 9As shown, the horizontal pushing device 12 also includes two sets of guide components fixed on the machine platform 1, and the guide components include a vertical plate 23, one side of the vertical plate 23 is provided with a long groove 24, and the other side is vertically slidably connected with a vertical slider 25, and a first guide plate 26 is inserted into the long groove 24, and the first guide plate 26 is provided with an arc groove 27 with an end inclined upward, and the ends of the first guide plates 26 of the guide components on both sides are connected by a connecting plate 28, and the connecting plate 28 is connected with a horizontal cylinder 29; the vertical plate 23 A second guide plate 30 is fixed on the upper side, and a plurality of vertical grooves 31 are provided on the second guide plate 30. A section of the bottom of the arc groove 27 corresponds to the vertical groove 31. A plurality of rollers 32 are provided on the vertical slider 25. The rollers 32 correspond to the arc groove 27 and the vertical groove 31 and extend into the arc groove 27 and the vertical groove 31 at the same time. The vertical slider 25 is connected to the first vertical plate 23 through a slide rail and slide groove mechanism 33. A twitching groove is provided on the vertical slider 25. A protrusion is provided at the bottom of the detection box 13. The protrusion extends into the pulling groove, and the detection box 13 can be pulled out along the pulling groove on the vertical slider 25 for checking the internal pin situation or maintenance. After the pull-in, when the horizontal cylinder 29 is extended, it can push the first guide plate 26 to move in the long groove 24, and the roller 32 of the vertical slider 25 can move along the arc groove 27. At the same time, the vertical groove 31 corresponding to the arc groove 27 limits the horizontal trajectory of the roller 32, so that the movement trajectory in the vertical direction is realized by pushing in the horizontal direction. The problem that a lifting mechanism cannot be provided vertically is solved, and the lifting and lowering of the detection box 13 is more stable through the design of the combination of the arc groove 27 and the vertical groove 31. The detection box 13 is pulled downward, and the second plug-in terminal 14 at the lower part of the detection box 13 is plugged into the first plug-in terminal 11. Moreover, since more performances need to be tested, a plurality of groups of first plug-in terminals 11 and second plug-in terminals 14 are provided, which are distributed at the lower part of the detection box 13. When plugged in, the force is more uniform, and the phenomenon of partial incomplete plugging will not occur.

[0038] And the PCB board 36 to be tested is pressed down by the electric cylinder arranged on the top, and the output end of the electric cylinder is connected to the pressing plate 35, and the pressing plate 35 also has a guide column, which is used to align with the carrier board 15 to ensure that it does not deviate from the carrier board 15 when pressed down. The electric cylinder pushes the carrier board 15 downward, that is, the spring 16 is compressed, and the detection pin 18 passes through the jack 17 and connects to the PCB board 36 to be tested, so that it can be connected with the detection instrument for detection.

[0039] A pressing device 34 is provided above the conveyor belt, and a pressing plate 35 is connected to the output end of the pressing device 34. The pressing device 34 drives the pressing plate 35 to press down on the PCB board 36 to be tested, and presses the carrier board 15 downward so that the pins pass through the through holes and align with the points of the PCB board 36 to be tested.
