Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention is applied to the technical field of motherboard testing, and particularly relates to a dual-carrier board testing platform. Background Art

[0002] Currently, electronic motherboard testing requirements and precision are becoming increasingly stringent, and with the need to reduce testing time and costs, there's a need to meet these requirements in the simplest way possible. During the testing process, two motherboards require simultaneous probing. This involves product layout issues, which can affect signal accuracy and test values. Current two-motherboard testing requires even higher requirements for simultaneous probing. Because the test requires signal switching, while minimizing signal attenuation and minimizing the impact of increased switching impedance on the test, traditional layouts, constrained by space constraints, use one motherboard as a fixed golden board and the other as a test board. However, this approach fails to meet the new requirements for simultaneous probing. For example, Chinese patent application number CN211669319U discloses a motherboard testing device. A driver connects to and drives a pressure plate, with multiple pressure posts elastically mounted within the plate and extending downward. When the lower ends of the pressure posts elastically abut the motherboard, the carrier plate descends toward the base, allowing the motherboard to contact the probes. However, during the pressing process, the mainboard and the probe are prone to hard contact, causing rigid damage to the mainboard and the probe. Therefore, it is necessary to provide a dual-carrier test platform with an integrated structure, compact structure, stable contact, effective reduction of signal attenuation, and improved test accuracy. The use of a dual-carrier test platform can achieve assembly modularization and reduce the impact on test values. Summary of the Invention

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0014] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the present invention includes a frame 1, and the frame 1 is slidingly provided with a carrier module 2, a needle plate module 3 is provided below the carrier module 2, and a pressing module 4 is provided above the carrier module 2, and the pressing module 4 includes a pressing plate 5, and driving components 6 are provided on both sides of the pressing plate 5, and the driving component 6 includes a first driving cylinder 7 and a mounting plate 8, and the mounting plate 8 is provided with a transverse guide rail 9 and a vertical guide rail 10, and the action end of the first driving cylinder 7 is provided with a transmission plate 11, and the transmission plate 11 is slidably matched with the transverse guide rail 9, and the transmission plate 11 is provided with an inclined groove 12, and the side of the pressure plate 5 is connected with a guide wheel 13, and the guide wheel 13 is guided and matched with the inclined groove 12, and the guide wheel 13 is slidably matched with the vertical guide rail 10.

[0015] The first driving cylinder 7 is arranged horizontally, and the mounting plate 8 is perpendicular to the first driving cylinder 7. When the first driving cylinder 7 drives the transmission plate 11 to move backward, the guide wheel 13 gradually moves downward along the inclined slot 12, driving the pressure plate 5 to move downward, and vice versa. The transverse guide rail 9 and the vertical guide rail 10 respectively play a guiding and supporting role for the movement of the transmission plate 11 and the pressure plate 5. When the pressure plate 5 is pressed on the carrier module 2, the carrier module 2 is placed with the PCB board to be tested, and the driving assembly 6 drives the pressure plate 5 to press down, driving the PCB board to be tested to contact the probe of the needle plate module 3, pulling out the signal for testing, and realizing the transmission of the overall transfer signal.

[0016] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the carrier module 2 includes a second drive cylinder 14 and a carrier 15. The actuating end of the second drive cylinder 14 is provided with a sliding frame 16. The sliding frame 16 is slidably mounted on the frame 1. A plurality of positioning posts 17 are provided on the top of the sliding frame 16. The carrier 15 is guided and engaged with the positioning posts 17. Compression springs are provided between the carrier 15 and the positioning posts 17. The PCB to be tested is disposed in the contoured groove of the carrier 15. When the pressure plate 5 presses down on the PCB to be tested, the PCB to be tested is connected and engaged with the needle plate module 3. The second drive cylinder 14 is arranged horizontally and drives the sliding frame 16 to move forward or backward. The carrier 15 is used to place the PCB to be tested. The positioning posts 17 limit the displacement of the carrier 15. The compression springs support and reset the lifting and lowering of the carrier 15.

[0017] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the needle plate module 3 includes a probe 18, which is connected to an external tester. When the pressure plate 5 presses down on the PCB under test, the PCB under test communicates with the external tester through the probe 18. The drive assembly 6 drives the pressure plate 5 downward, bringing the PCB under test into contact with the probe 18, pulling the signal from the PCB under test for testing, and achieving overall transfer signal transmission.

[0018] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the transverse guide rail 9 is slidably provided with a first slider 19, and the first slider 19 is connected to the transmission plate 11, and the vertical guide rail 10 is slidably provided with a second slider 20, and the second slider 20 is connected to the guide wheel 13.

[0019] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the transmission plate 11 is provided with two groups of the inclined slots 12 , which are arranged in parallel, and the angle between the inclined slots 12 and the horizontal plane is 45 degrees.

[0020] The pressure plate 5 is raised and lowered by the cooperation of the guide wheel 13 and the inclined groove 12, instead of the straight up and down method, providing stable support for the lifting of the pressure plate 5. The angle between the inclined groove 12 and the horizontal plane is 45 degrees, which effectively ensures that the guide wheel 13 slides smoothly in the inclined groove 12, and at the same time can reduce the lifting amplitude of the pressure plate 5, further improving the test efficiency.

[0021] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a feed and discharge through hole 22 is opened at the front end of the frame 1. Driven by the second driving cylinder 14, the carrier plate 15 shuttles back and forth in the feed and discharge through hole 22 to realize the loading and unloading of the PCB board to be tested.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, there are two groups of carrier modules 2, which are arranged side by side in a horizontal direction. The left and right design structure is adopted, and the two groups of carrier modules 2 are operated independently to achieve modular assembly.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, the bottom of the pressure plate 5 is provided with a plurality of protrusions 21. When the pressure plate 5 is pressed down, the protrusions 21 press and fit with the PCB to be tested. The bottom of the pressure plate 5 is also provided with a plurality of positioning pins, and the carrier module 2 is provided with positioning holes adapted to fit the positioning pins.

[0024] Although the embodiments of the present invention are described with practical solutions, they do not limit the meaning of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious to modify the implementation scheme and combine it with other solutions based on this description.
