[0002] A module screen refers to a display screen such as an LED, LCD, or liquid crystal, and a circuit board assembly. After the screen panel is manufactured, a full inspection process needs to be completed before the product can flow into the next process. Since it is a full inspection, the workload is huge, and the accuracy requirements for inspection are very high;

[0003] In the production of module screens, wires need to be inserted into the interfaces on the module screens. Since the positions of the interfaces are close to the edges of the module screens and the interface directions face the center positions of the module screens, the existing production method is to manually insert the wires into the interfaces on the module screens at the workstations for testing, with low efficiency. Moreover, some wire sizes are small, and their positions on the module screens are relatively difficult to plug, affecting production efficiency. Summary of the Invention

[0013] Notches are arranged at the front parts of the lower fixed plate and the upper moving plate.
