[0002] During the assembly process of various electronic products, due to the limitations of the internal structure of the electronic product housing, each component will be stacked and misaligned. Therefore, various types of flexible printed circuit boards are used for connection and assembly between components. While achieving the connection between components and the cooperation of various functions, the internal structure of the product is made more compact to meet the enterprise's requirements for intelligent and refined production of electronic products. Since the flexible cable product is relatively soft and has poor compressive resistance, it needs to be powered on and tested before assembly. For the testing of such bent flexible cables, a flexible printed circuit board test fixture is usually used for fixing, and connection and power-on testing with the detection module are achieved. In the existing fixture structure, it can basically only be compatible with hard flexible cable products, cannot adapt to various bent flexible printed circuit boards, and cannot detect multiple test points simultaneously. For flexible printed circuit boards with a small volume, the manual material replacement accuracy is low, it is easy to cause bumps, and the compatibility is poor. It is impossible to achieve rapid replacement of multiple fixtures, and the equipment cost and labor cost are relatively high. If a flip test point external detection fixture with a simple structure, designed with a universal joint plug-in method, can be compatible with multiple fixtures, and the test signal points are led out outside, so as to measure each signal during the test process, the above problems can be solved.

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0016] As Figures 1 to 10As shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the present invention includes a test frame assembly 1 and a fixture assembly 2. The test frame assembly 1 includes a test outer frame 3 and a test module 4. The fixture assembly 2 includes a base module 5 and a gland module 6. The gland module 6 includes a gland 61, a horizontal pressing block module 62, and a pressing plate module 63. The base module 5 includes a base 51, a carrier plate module 52, a test pin mold 53, and a rotary preloading module 54. The base 51 is disposed on the upper end surface of the test outer frame 3. One side of the gland 61 is hinged to one side of the base 51. The horizontal pressing block module 62 and the pressing plate module 63 drive the product on the carrier plate module 52 to cooperate with the test pin mold 53. The test pin mold 53 is connected and conducted with the test module 4 inside the test outer frame 3. Thus, it can be seen that the test module 4 is disposed inside the test outer frame 3. By leading out the test signal points on the outside, the test module 4 is connected to the product on the carrier plate module 52 during the test process. The design of using a universal joint plug-in method can be compatible with a variety of fixtures, with a simple structure and better detection effect.

[0017] As Figure 6 shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the test pin mold 53 includes a cell pin mold 531 and a B2B pin mold 532. The carrier plate module 52 is disposed in the middle of the upper end surface of the base 51. The cell pin mold 531 and the B2B pin mold 532 are disposed on the lower end surface of the base 51. The probe end of the cell pin mold 531 passes through the lower end of the carrier plate module 52 and is connected to the product lower pin point. The probe end of the B2B pin mold 532 is connected to the product connector end on the carrier plate module 52. The other ends of the cell pin mold 531 and the B2B pin mold 532 are connected and conducted with the adapter plate module 55 on the lower end surface of the base 51. Thus, it can be seen that the cell pin mold 531 and the B2B pin mold 532 respectively independently connect the pin points and connector points of the product, thereby realizing the simultaneous detection of multiple detection points.

[0018] As Figure 8 shown in the figure, in this embodiment, the cell pin mold 531 includes an upper pin block 533, a tail pin plate 534, and a plurality of probes 535. The upper pin block 533 is connected to the upper end surface of the tail pin plate 534. A plurality of the probes 535 are disposed inside the upper pin block 533. The upper ends of the plurality of probes 535 are matched with the product lower pin point. The lower ends of the plurality of probes 535 pass through the tail pin plate 534 and are connected and conducted with the adapter plate module 55. Thus, it can be seen that the plurality of probes 535 realize the connection between the product and the adapter plate module 55, thereby realizing the connection and conduction with the test module 4.

[0019] As Figure 4 and Figure 10As shown, in this embodiment, the carrier board module 52 includes a carrier board bottom plate 521, a cover plate 522, and a cover plate mounting seat 523. The carrier board bottom plate 521 is floatingly connected to the base 51 through a plurality of first floating springs 7 and a plurality of first equal-height screws 8. The cover plate mounting seat 523 is arranged on one side of the upper end surface of the carrier board bottom plate 521. One end of the cover plate 522 is hinged to the cover plate mounting seat 523, and the other end of the cover plate 522 is locked and cooperated with the other side of the carrier board bottom plate 521. The pressing end of the cover plate 522 is cooperated with the product limiting groove 524 in the middle of the upper end surface of the carrier board bottom plate 521. Thus, it can be seen that the plurality of first floating springs 7 provide a buffering effect when the pressing plate module 63 presses the cover plate 522, preventing the cover plate 522 from overpressing the product in the product limiting groove 524.

[0020] As Figure 9 shown, in this embodiment, the horizontal pressing block module 62 includes a pressing block frame 621, a pressing seat 622, and a first pressing block 623. One end of the pressing block frame 621 is hinged to the lower end surface of the pressing cover 61. The pressing seat 622 is floatingly connected to the upper end surface of the pressing block frame 621 through a plurality of second floating springs 9 and a plurality of second equal-height screws 10. A pressing block through hole 624 is arranged in the middle of the pressing block frame 621. The first pressing block 623 is floatingly connected to the lower end surface of the pressing seat 622 through a plurality of third floating springs 11 and a plurality of third equal-height screws 12 and passes through the pressing block through hole 624. The pressing end of the first pressing block 623 drives the rotary pre-pressing module 54 to cooperate with the product connector end. Thus, it can be seen that the first pressing block 623 will be subjected to the action of two sets of buffering forces during the downward pressing process, and the connector end of the product is fixed in the product limiting groove 524 without deviation by pressing the rotary pre-pressing module 54.

[0021] As Figure 7 shown, in this embodiment, the pressing plate module 63 includes a second pressing block 631 and a pressing plate 632. The pressing plate 632 is cooperated with the pressing end of the second pressing block 631. The pressing plate 632 is floatingly connected to one side of the lower end surface of the pressing cover 61 through a plurality of pressing springs 13. The pressing cover 61 drives the pressing plate 632 to cooperate with the product. Thus, it can be seen that the force is more uniform during the process of the pressing plate 632 pressing the cover plate 522, and the plurality of pressing springs 13 provide a buffering effect.

[0022] As Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown, in this embodiment, a locking buckle 14 is provided at the fixture fixing position at the upper end of the test outer frame 3. One side of the locking buckle 14 is hinged to the middle of the upper end face of the test outer frame 3, and the locking buckle 14 is locked and cooperated with the fixture assembly 2. Thus, it can be seen that the locking buckle 14 can fix the fixture assembly 2 on the test outer frame 3 without deviation, and a quick-change device is provided, so that the replacement efficiency is higher after the test is completed.

[0023] As Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a connection port 15 is provided in the middle of the upper end of the test outer frame 3. The wire harness end of the test module 4 is connected and conducted with the adapter board module 55 through the connection port 15. Thus, it can be seen that the test signal points are transferred to the outside through the connection port 15, and each signal is measured during the test by directly connecting the wire harness to the fixture.

[0024] As Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a plurality of positioning pins 16 are provided at the fixture fixing position at the upper end of the test outer frame 3. The plurality of positioning pins 16 are in limit cooperation with the base 51. Thus, it can be seen that the plurality of positioning pins 16 are adapted to a plurality of groups of the fixture assemblies 2, can position the fixture assemblies 2, and prevent deviation during the pressing and locking process of the locking buckle 14.

[0025] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the test outer frame 3 is provided with a plurality of heat dissipation holes 17. Thus, it can be seen that the plurality of heat dissipation holes 17 can prevent the test module 4 from being damaged due to overheating.

[0026] Working principle of the present invention: Before the device is started, open the locking buckle 14, then place the fixture assembly 2 at the detection position of the test outer frame 3, fasten and lock the locking buckle 14, open the pressure cover 61 and the cover plate 522, place the product to be detected in the product limit groove 524, flip and close the cover plate 522 to complete the preliminary positioning of the product. When closing the pressure cover 61, the pressing end of the horizontal pressing block module 62 contacts the product connector end and realizes pre-pressing. Continue to press the pressure cover 61 to drive the pressing end of the horizontal pressing block module 62 to stably press the product connector end. At the same time, the pressing plate module 63 drives the cover plate 522 to press the product so that the lower needle point and the connector end of the product are respectively docked with the cell needle die 531 and the B2B needle die 532. After the docking is completed, the locking buckle 14 is fastened, and the whole device is locked. After the power-on detection is completed, open the pressure cover 61, replace the detected product, and repeat the above steps to realize the external detection of the test points of the flexible circuit board during bending.

[0027] Although the embodiments of the present invention are described with actual solutions, they do not constitute a limitation on the meaning of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, modifications to its implementation solutions according to this specification and combinations with other solutions are obvious.
