The test height of the ring isolator is adjusted through the test platform 3 so that the top surface of the microstrip ring isolator and the top surface of the test fixture plate 9 are on the same plane, thereby completing the fixture clamping of the microstrip ring isolator. The test platform 3 makes test platforms of different specifications according to the actual size of the microstrip ring isolator, ensuring the versatility of the test fixture. The microstrip line on the test fixture plate 9 that matches the microstrip ring isolator enables the test fixture plate 9 to make test fixture plates 9 of different specifications according to the test node position of the ring isolator, ensuring the versatility of the test fixture.After the microstrip ring isolator tooling is completed, the test is performed through the test probe 8.

The position of the non-destructive test crimping fixture can be adjusted over a wide range, so that the installation position of the non-destructive test crimping fixture can be adjusted according to the test node position on the microstrip ring isolator, thereby ensuring the versatility of the test fixture.
[0037] Embodiment 5
[0038] Based on the fourth embodiment, Figure 1 As shown, the position regulator 2 also includes a support base 21 and a horizontal slide 22. The support base 21 is fixed on the mounting platform 1, and the horizontal slide 22 is slidably mounted on the support base 21. A cylinder 23 is mounted on the support base 21, and the telescopic shaft of the cylinder 23 is connected to the horizontal slide 22. The adjustment platform 4 is mounted on the horizontal slide 22.

The base plate 24 is fixed on the installation platform 1, and the lifting platform 25 is arranged directly above the base plate 24. Scissor-type lifting assemblies 27 are arranged on both sides of the base plate 24. One end of the bottom of the scissor-type lifting assembly 27 is slidably connected to the base plate 24, and the other end of the bottom is hinged to the base plate 24. One end of the top of the scissor-type lifting assembly 27 is slidably connected to the lifting platform 25, and the other end of the top is hinged to the lifting platform 25. The test platform 3 is fixed on the top of the lifting platform 25. The two sets of scissor-type lifting assemblies 27 are rotated between each other. A screw rod 26 is provided, and a screw slider 28 is threadedly mounted on the screw rod 26.
