The terms used in this specification are for the purpose of describing specific embodiments only and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0020] In addition, the technical features involved in different embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0021] The preferred embodiments of the present invention will now be further described with reference to the accompanying drawings. Figure 1 and Figure 5 As shown, a high heat dissipation and high current test fixture includes a needle holder 100, which is made of a conductor. A plurality of first circular grooves 110 and second circular grooves 120 are respectively provided on the top and bottom of the needle holder 100. The positions of the first circular grooves 110 and the second circular grooves 120 correspond to each other. A groove bottom 111 is provided between the first circular grooves 110 and the second circular grooves 120. An upper needle body 200 is provided in the first circular groove 110. The upper needle body 200 is used to contact the object to be tested. A lower needle body 300 is provided in the second circular groove 120, and the lower needle body 300 is used to contact the circuit board. A spring 400 is provided between the upper needle body 200 and the groove bottom 111 and between the lower needle body 300 and the groove bottom 111. One end of the spring 400 abuts against the groove bottom 111, and the other end abuts against the upper needle body 200 and the lower needle body 300. The upper needle body 200 and the lower needle body 300 respectively form contact with the inner walls of the first circular groove 110 and the second circular groove 120.

[0022] When testing is required, the upper needle body 200 contacts the product to be tested, and the lower needle body 300 is connected to the circuit board. When the upper needle body 200 contacts the product to be tested, since the upper needle body 200 is accommodated in the first circular groove 110, the upper needle body 200 will move downward in the first circular groove 110, and the spring 400 in the first circular groove 110 will be compressed. Similarly, since the lower needle body 300 is accommodated in the second circular groove 120, the lower needle body 300 will move upward in the second circular groove 120, and the spring 400 in the second circular groove 120 will be compressed. Since the material of the needle seat 100 is a conductor and the upper needle body 200 and the lower needle body 300 respectively contact the inner walls of the first circular groove 110 and the second circular groove 120, the electrical signal is transmitted in sequence through the upper needle body 200, the needle seat 100 and the lower needle body 300.

[0023] Compared to the existing technology, the present invention allows for flexible addition or upgrade of the number of measuring needles by inserting different numbers of upper and lower needles 200, 300 into the first and second circular grooves 110, 120, depending on the requirements of different test ports. This not only improves the versatility of the device but also facilitates maintenance and upgrades. Furthermore, since the needle holder 100 of the present invention is made of a conductor, the upper and lower needles 200, 300 can quickly conduct heat through the needle holder 100 during testing, ensuring test accuracy and pass rate.

[0024] On the basis of the above embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, the upper needle body 200 and the lower needle body 300 include a contact portion 210 and a wrapping portion 220, and the contact portion 210 is used to form contact with the product under test or the circuit board. When the upper needle body 200 and the lower needle body 300 are arranged in the first circular groove 110 and the second circular groove 120, the wrapping portion 220 is in contact with the inner walls of the first circular groove 110 and the second circular groove 120, thereby ensuring that the upper needle body 200 and the lower needle body 300 are in contact with the inner walls of the first circular groove 110 and the second circular groove 120 respectively. In this way, when a large current test is performed, the upper needle body 200 and the lower needle body 300 can quickly conduct heat through the needle seat 100.

[0025] On the basis of the above embodiment, Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, a limiting column 221 protrudes toward the groove bottom 111 at one end of the wrapping portion 220 away from the contact portion 210, and one end of the spring 400 is sleeved on the limiting column 221. In this way, when the spring 400 is compressed, the contact between the spring 400 and the upper needle body 200 or the lower needle body 300 can be guaranteed, and the spring 400 is prevented from being twisted and deformed in the first circular groove 110 and the second circular groove 120.

[0026] On the basis of the above embodiment, Figure 1 、 Figure 2 and Figure 5 As shown, a positioning hole 111a matching the shape of the limiting column 221 is provided in the bottom 111 of the groove. When the wrapping portion 220 contacts the bottom 111 of the groove, the limiting column 221 is inserted into the positioning hole 111a. This design mainly solves the problem of the slender upper needle body 200 and the lower needle body 300, because in this case, it is difficult for the wrapping portion 220 to form mutual contact with the side surfaces in the inner walls of the first circular groove 110 and the second circular groove 120, and it is highly likely to contact with the bottom 111 of the first circular groove 110 and the second circular groove 120. In this case, by positioning the hole 111a in the bottom 111 of the groove, the limiting column 221 can be inserted into the positioning hole 111a when it is wrapped and in contact with the bottom 111 of the groove, thereby further ensuring the stability of the contact between the upper needle body 200 and the lower needle body 300 and the inner walls of the first circular groove 110 and the second circular groove 120, respectively, so as to form rapid heat conduction.

[0027] On the basis of the above embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the top and bottom surfaces of the needle seat 100 are respectively covered with a first cover plate 500 and a second cover plate 600, and a plurality of first through holes 510 are respectively provided in the middle of the first cover plate 500 and the second cover plate 600, and the positions of the first through holes 510 correspond to the positions of the first circular groove 110 and the second circular groove 120. Second through holes 520 are respectively provided on both sides of the first cover plate 500 and the second cover plate 600, and third through holes 130 corresponding to the positions of the second through holes 520 are respectively provided on the top and bottom surfaces of the needle seat 100. When the first cover plate 500 and the second cover plate 600 cover the top and bottom surfaces of the needle seat 100, a screw 140 can be passed through the second through hole 520 and the third through hole 130 to fix the first cover plate 500 and the second cover plate 600 to the needle seat 100.

[0028] On the basis of the above embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the wrapping portion 220 is a portion protruding outward along the outer wall of the upper needle body 200 and the lower needle body 300, and a limiting ring 511 is provided in the first through hole 510. When the first cover plate 500 and the second cover plate 600 cover the top and bottom surfaces of the needle seat 100, the limiting ring 511 forms an abutting contact with the wrapping portion 220, which can prevent the upper needle body 200 and the lower needle body 300 from being pushed out of the first circular groove 110 and the second circular groove 120 under the reaction of the spring 400 when the test is completed. It is also convenient for replacing the number of measuring needle bodies. When the number of needle bodies needs to be replaced, the first cover plate 500 and the second cover plate 600 will be separated from the needle seat 100 by the screw 140. After adjusting the number of upper and lower needle bodies 300 accordingly, the first cover plate 500 and the second cover plate 600 can be assembled with the needle seat 100.

[0029] On the basis of the above embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, outward-protruding supporting steps 150 are respectively provided in the middle of the top surface and the bottom of the needle seat 100, the first circular groove 110 and the second circular groove 120 are provided in the supporting steps 150, and card slots 530 are respectively provided on both sides of the first cover plate 500 and the second cover plate 600. When the first cover plate 500 and the second cover plate 600 cover the top surface and the bottom of the needle seat 100, the supporting steps 150 are embedded between the card slots 530, so that the positioning between the first cover plate 500 and the second cover plate 600 and the needle seat 100 is facilitated during installation.

[0030] On the basis of the above embodiment, Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, grooves 131 are provided on both sides of the third through hole 130, and a protrusion 540 is provided at the bottom of the first cover plate 500. When the first cover plate 500 covers the top surface of the needle seat 100, the protrusion 540 is embedded in the groove 131, thereby further improving the positioning between the first cover plate 500 and the needle seat 100 during installation.

[0031] The foregoing exemplary embodiments are detailed, and the invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential characteristics of the invention. Therefore, the embodiments should be considered in all respects as illustrative and non-restrictive, and the scope of the invention is defined by the appended claims rather than the foregoing description, and all variations that come within the meaning and range of equivalents of the claims are intended to be embraced therein.
