Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of communication technologies, and particularly to a signal leakage prevention fixture for testing surface-mounted filters. Background Art

[0002] For the debugging and testing of surface-mounted frequency hopping filters, traditional testing methods such as direct soldering involve directly soldering the cables or wires of the testing instrument onto the product pin pads, and then removing them after debugging. Although the contact is good, the continuous testing efficiency is low, it is extremely inconvenient to use, and it is easy to leave solder dross. For example, the comparative document with the publication number CN220381227 U discloses a testing tooling for an electrically tunable filter, which includes a PCB board. Fourteen welding pads are arranged on the PCB board, and the fourteen welding pads correspond to a total of fourteen terminals on the left and right sides of the electrically tunable filter. Among them, the welding pads for docking and grounding among the fourteen terminals are connected to the grounding copper foil on the back of the PCB board. Fixed-pin testing is carried out by welding, and then the welding points are loosened by means of a soldering gun or the like after testing; there is also a pressing type, which presses the two-side pads through a pressing strip or the like to achieve conduction with the contacts of the test board. The disadvantage is that it is easy to have poor contact in the contact conduction because it is a hard contact between two rigid planes and it is impossible to make all contacts closely connected; there is also a thimble type, where the needle outlet of the cable connecting the testing instrument is welded to the probe, but the function is not perfect enough, and there is still a large room for improvement in terms of durability, convenience, and signal common grounding; moreover, during testing, the transmission signal frequency is too high (especially at the output and input), resulting in signal leakage in the connection parts exposed to the air, thus leading to inaccurate test indicators or even completely unable to achieve the required test indicators. Summary of the Invention

[0003] The technical problem to be solved by the present invention lies in how to test the surface-mounted filter with high quality and no signal leakage through a fixture.

[0004] The present invention solves the above technical problem by the following technical means:

[0005] A signal leakage prevention fixture for testing surface-mounted filters, including a first metal block (3), a second metal block (4), a flexible conductive adhesive tape (7), a first test board (8), a second test board (9), a probe (12), and a signal leakage prevention component (13); a first test board (8) is sequentially arranged along the X-axis on the first metal block (3), and a plurality of probes (12) are arranged along the Y-axis. A flexible conductive adhesive tape (7), a plurality of probes (12) arranged along the Y-axis, and a second test board (9) are sequentially arranged along the X-axis on the second metal block (4). Among all the probes (12), there are input probes (12') and output probes. Signal leakage prevention components (13) are arranged on the non-contact sides of the input probes (12') and the output probes, and the non-contact sides of the remaining probes (12) are communicated with the test boards at corresponding positions.

[0006] Beneficial effects: Through the settings of the first metal block, the second metal block, the flexible conductive adhesive tape, the first test board, the second test board, the probes, and the anti-signal leakage components; each probe can tightly press against all the pins of the surface-mounted filter, enabling the two rows of pins on both sides of the surface-mounted filter to be in close contact and signal conduction with the probes at the corresponding positions. The non-contact sides of the input probe and the output probe are respectively fixed to the two cables of the peripheral test equipment through the anti-signal leakage components. The non-contact sides of the input probe and the output probe are respectively connected to the needle outlets of the two cables, and the non-contact sides of the remaining probes are connected to the test boards at the corresponding positions. The anti-signal leakage components can respectively shield the signals at the connections between the input probe, the output probe and the corresponding cables, reducing the signal leakage at the high-frequency contact connection part, thereby ensuring the maximum effectiveness and correctness of the product test indicators; the flexible conductive adhesive tape is different from the rigid metal surface, ensuring the full and good grounding of the grounding pads of the surface-mounted filter.

[0007] Further, each anti-signal leakage component (13) includes a connecting cylinder (131) and a metal cylinder (132). Each connecting cylinder (131) is hollow.

[0008] Beneficial effects: Through the settings of the connecting cylinder and the metal cylinder, the connecting cylinder is sleeved on the input probe and the output probe, and the metal cylinder is fixed on the connecting cylinder. The metal cylinder respectively wraps the connections between the input probe, the output probe and the corresponding cables, shielding the signals at the high-frequency contact connection part and reducing the signal leakage at the high-frequency contact connection part; the sizes of the metal cylinders are larger than the sizes of the non-contact sides of the input probe and the output probe, which can ensure that there is no contact between the metal cylinder and the connections between the input probe, the output probe and the corresponding cables, preventing short circuits.

[0009] Further, the inner layer of the connecting cylinder (131) is made of insulating material, and the outer layer of the connecting cylinder (131) is made of metal material.

[0010] Beneficial effects: Through the setting of the material of the connecting cylinder, the insulating material prevents the metal material from contacting the input probe and the output probe, resulting in short circuits, and the metal material can shield the signals and reduce signal leakage.

[0011] Further, the metal cylinder (132) is made of copper.

[0012] Beneficial effects: By making the metal cylinder of copper, the signal shielding effect of copper is better.

[0013] Further, a first mounting plate (10) is fixed to one end of the top wall of the first metal block (3) close to the second metal block (4). The first mounting plate (10) is made of insulating material. A plurality of probes (12) are sequentially arranged through the first mounting plate (10) along the Y-axis. The connecting cylinders (131) around the input probe (12') and / or the output probe are fixedly penetrated through the first mounting plate (10).

[0014] Further, a second mounting plate (11) is fixed to the middle of the top wall of the second metal block (4). The second mounting plate (11) is made of insulating material. A plurality of probes (12) are sequentially arranged through the second mounting plate (11) along the Y-axis. The connecting cylinders (131) around the input probe (12') and / or the output probe are fixedly penetrated through the second mounting plate (11).

[0015] Beneficial effects: Through the arrangement of the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate, two mounting plates with a row of holes drilled respectively are used to accurately position the positions of two rows of probes, making the probes receive uniform force and extending the service life of the probes.

[0016] Further, a push-pull mechanism (2) is further included. The output end of the push-pull mechanism (2) is fixed to the first metal block (3). The first metal block (3) is slidably connected to the second metal block (4) through a directional slide bar (5).

[0017] Beneficial effects: Through the arrangement of the push-pull mechanism and the directional slide bar, the push-pull mechanism can drive the first metal block to move away from or close to the second metal block smoothly.

[0018] Further, the push-pull mechanism (2) includes a mounting base (21), a push-pull rod (22), a linkage rod (23), and a handle (24). First mounting plates and second mounting plates are respectively fixed to both sides of the top wall of the mounting base (21). A handle (24) is hinged to the first mounting plate. A push-pull rod (22) is arranged through the second mounting plate along the X-axis. The end of the push-pull rod (22) far from the mounting base (21) is fixed to the first metal block (3). The free end of the push-pull rod (22) is hinged to a linkage rod (23). The free end of the linkage rod (23) is hinged to the handle (24).

[0019] Further, at least one directional slide bar (5) is fixed to the side wall of the first metal block (3) close to the second metal block (4). Chutes are opened on the side walls of the second metal block (4) close to the respective directional slide bars (5). The respective directional slide bars (5) are respectively slidably connected in the respective chutes.

[0020] Further, a flexible metal strip (6) is arranged between the first metal block (3) and the second metal block (4).

[0021] Beneficial effects: A flexible metal strip is provided between the first metal block and the second metal block, so that the separated first metal block and the second metal block have good ground signal common grounding property.

[0022] Furthermore, each probe (12) is a retractable probe, and the abutting side of each retractable probe is a telescopic part.
