DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0019] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments of the present application. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0020] Embodiment 1: Please refer to Figures 1-6 ​The application discloses a multi-board power-on testing device based on FPC production, which comprises an aging furnace rack 1 arranged in an aging furnace and a plurality of material plates 2 arranged on the aging furnace rack 1, a plurality of circuit boards 3 are arranged on the material plates 2, the plurality of circuit boards 3 are electrically connected with the aging furnace through electric signals, an elastic clamping mechanism 4 is arranged between the material plates 2 and the circuit boards 3 and used for clamping the circuit boards 3, the elastic clamping mechanism 4 comprises a plurality of pairs of clamping rods 41, a plurality of pairs of clamping plates 43, a plurality of elastic telescopic air bags 44 and a driving mechanism 47, wherein a notch 42 is formed in each pair of clamping rods 41, and the two sides of the circuit board 3 are arranged on the clamping rod 41 through the notch 42; a pair of clamping plates 43 are slidably connected in the notch 42 of each clamping rod 41 and used for clamping the circuit board 3; the elastic telescopic air bag 44 is arranged on the clamping rod 41 and used for driving the clamping plate 43 to move so as to provide clamping force for the circuit board 3; it can be understood that each clamping plate 43 corresponds to an elastic telescopic air bag 44, and the elastic telescopic air bag 44 is used for driving a pair of clamping plates 43 to move relatively or oppositely; and the driving mechanism 47 is installed on the clamping rod 41 and used for driving the elastic telescopic air bag 44 to expand or contract so as to adjust the clamping force of the notch 42 on the circuit board 3.

[0021] It should be noted that the elastic telescopic air bag 44 is made of silicone rubber material and is a prior art, which will not be described in detail, the elastic telescopic air bag 44 is fixed in an inner cavity of the clamping rod 41, the telescopic end of the elastic telescopic air bag 44 is connected with the clamping plate 43 through a connecting rod, the elastic telescopic air bag 44 pushes the clamping plate 43 to move close to the FPC when expanding, and drives the clamping plate 43 to move away when contracting. The elastic telescopic air bag 44 realizes self-adaptive clamping through conversion of air pressure and mechanical force: when the elastic telescopic air bag 44 expands, the internal air pressure increases, and the clamping plate 43 is pushed to apply clamping force to the FPC; when the FPC expands due to high temperature, the reaction force of the FPC on the clamping plate 43 slightly compresses the elastic telescopic air bag 44, the clamping force is self-adaptively reduced with the deformation of the FPC, and excessive extrusion is avoided; when the FPC contracts, the elastic telescopic air bag 44 keeps a certain expansion amount under the action of the driving mechanism 47, so that the clamping is not loose; the elastic buffering mechanism is different from the fixed force output of the traditional rigid clamping, and realizes dynamic matching of the clamping force and the deformation of the FPC. Through self-adaptive adjustment of elastic force, the FPC is always stably clamped in the high-temperature deformation process, the problems that the FPC is torn and the solder pad is separated due to excessive rigid clamping force and the displacement problem due to insufficient force are solved; and a plurality of FPCs can be clamped at the same time, that is, each pair of clamping rods 41 corresponds to one FPC, the synchronous testing demand of multiple boards is met, and the testing efficiency is improved.

[0022] Please refer to Figures 1-4The clamping rod 41 is provided with a connecting pipe 45 and a telescopic bellows 46; one end of the connecting pipe 45 is connected with the elastic telescopic air bag 44, the other end of the connecting pipe 45 is connected with the telescopic bellows 46, and the elastic telescopic air bag 44 is connected with the clamping plate 43 through the connecting pipe 45 and the telescopic bellows 46; when the elastic telescopic air bag 44 is forced to expand, the positive pressure in the elastic telescopic air bag 44 is transmitted to the telescopic bellows 46 through the connecting pipe 45, so that the telescopic bellows 46 is forced to elongate, and then drives the clamping plate 43 to move to enhance the clamping force on the circuit board 3.

[0023] It should be noted that when the elastic telescopic air bag 44 expands, the internal positive pressure is transmitted to the telescopic bellows 46 through the connecting pipe 45, so that the telescopic bellows 46 elongates due to the increase of internal gas pressure, and then pushes the clamping plate 43 to move towards the FPC; on the contrary, when the elastic telescopic air bag 44 is compressed, the gas pressure in the telescopic bellows 46 decreases, and the telescopic bellows 46 shrinks under the action of the FPC reaction force or the driving mechanism 47, driving the clamping plate 43 to reset. The connecting pipe 45 ensures that the gas pressure is transmitted without loss, and the telescopic bellows 46 compensates for the displacement of the clamping plate 43 through its own deformation, realizing efficient conversion of gas pressure and mechanical displacement. Through the flexible transmission of the bellows, the direct rigid connection of the elastic telescopic air bag 44 and the clamping plate 43 is avoided, the stress concentration when the elastic telescopic air bag 44 expands is reduced, and the service life of the air bag is prolonged; at the same time, it ensures that the clamping force is uniformly transmitted to the clamping plate 43, and avoids the local stress of the FPC caused by uneven force transmission.

[0024] Please refer to Figures 1-4 The driving mechanism 47 includes a gear 471, a push block 473, a limiting mechanism 474, and a pair of racks 472; the gear 471 is rotatably connected to the clamping rod 41 about its axis, the pair of racks 472 are slidably connected to the clamping rod 41 along the telescopic direction of the elastic telescopic air bag 44, and the pair of racks 472 are respectively engaged on both sides of the gear 471, the push block 473 is slidably connected to the clamping rod 41, and the push block 473 is fixedly arranged on one of the racks 472; the limiting mechanism 474 is arranged on the clamping rod 41 and is used to limit the expansion and compression state of the elastic telescopic air bag 44.

[0025] It should be noted that the driving mechanism 47 realizes the reverse transmission of force through the meshing of the gear 471 and the rack 472: when the push block 473 is pushed to move, the rack 472 connected thereto drives the gear 471 to rotate clockwise, and the other rack 472 moves in the opposite direction, extruding the elastic expansion air bag 44 to make it compress, at this time the clamping force decreases; when the push block 473 is pulled in the opposite direction, the gear 471 rotates counterclockwise, and the other rack 472 retreats, and the elastic expansion air bag 44 expands under the action of its own elasticity, at this time the clamping force increases. This structure converts one-way driving into bidirectional force output, realizes accurate adjustment of the clamping force; the clamping force is adjusted by mechanical transmission, compared with pure pneumatic or electric adjustment, the structure is more compact, which is suitable for the high-temperature narrow space in the aging furnace; and the transmission precision of the gear 471 and the rack 472 is high, which can realize fine adjustment of the clamping force and meet the clamping needs of FPCs with different thicknesses.

[0026] Please refer to Figures 1-4 The limiting mechanism 474 includes a pawl 4741 and a second reset spring 4743; the pawl 4741 is rotatably connected to the clamping rod 41 through a rotating shaft, and one of the racks 472 is provided with a ratchet groove 4742 matched with the pawl 4741; the pawl 4741 is provided with a first reset spring; when the pawl 4741 loses the limit, the first reset spring is used to drive the pawl 4741 to rotate, so that the pawl 4741 restores the engagement with the ratchet groove 4742; the second reset spring 4743 is arranged between the clamping rod 41 and the push block 473.

[0027] It should be noted that the limiting mechanism 474 realizes one-way locking through the pawl 4741 and the ratchet groove 4742, and realizes the retention of the clamping force: when the push block 473 is pushed to adjust the clamping force, the rack 472 moves, the pawl 4741 is lifted against the elastic force of the first reset spring under the action of the inclined surface of the ratchet groove 4742, and the movement of the rack 472 is allowed; when the push block 473 is released, the pawl 4741 is embedded in the ratchet groove 4742 under the action of the first reset spring, preventing the rack 472 from moving in the opposite direction, thereby locking the current clamping force; if it is necessary to adjust in the opposite direction, the pawl 4741 needs to be manually pulled out of the ratchet groove 4742 at this time, and the second reset spring 4743 pushes the push block 473 to reset, thereby reducing the clamping force; the limiting mechanism 474 is provided to prevent the clamping force from changing accidentally due to vibration or micro-leakage of the elastic expansion air bag 44 during the test process, thereby ensuring the clamping stability; the operation is convenient, and the clamping force can be maintained without continuously applying external force, thereby reducing the cost of manual or automatic control.

[0028] Embodiment 2: The technical scheme of this embodiment is different from that of embodiment 1: please refer to Figures 1-4, and a floating three-dimensional platform 5 is arranged between the material plate 2 and the elastic clamping mechanism 4; the floating three-dimensional platform 5 comprises an X-direction sliding layer 51, a Y-direction sliding layer 52 and a Z-direction floating layer 53; the X-direction sliding layer 51 is installed on the material plate 2 and is used to provide micro-floating in the X direction when the circuit board 3 deforms; the Y-direction sliding layer 52 is installed on the X-direction sliding layer 51 and is used to provide micro-floating in the Y direction when the circuit board 3 deforms; and the Z-direction floating layer 53 is installed between the Y-direction sliding layer 52 and the clamping rod 41 and is used to provide micro-floating in the Z direction when the circuit board 3 deforms.

[0029] It should be noted that the floating three-dimensional platform 5 realizes multi-degree-of-freedom movement through layered superposition: when the FPC elongates in the X direction due to high temperature, the elastic clamping mechanism 4 and the Z-direction floating layer 53 and the Y-direction sliding layer 52 slide along the X-axis with the X-direction sliding layer 51; when the FPC expands in the Y direction, the Z-direction floating layer 53 slides along the Y-axis with the Y-direction sliding layer 52; and when the FPC warps or angularly deforms in the Z direction, the Z-direction floating layer 53 realizes Z-direction displacement or inclination through its own structure. The movements of the layers are independent and can be coordinated, and the three-dimensional thermal deformation of the FPC is comprehensively compensated; the mechanical stress generated by thermal expansion and contraction of the FPC is released, and the copper foil circuit or the substrate is prevented from cracking, especially in the bending area; in cooperation with the elastic clamping mechanism 4, a clamping and floating double compensation mechanism is formed, and the stability of the FPC test is further improved.

[0030] Please refer to Figures 1-4 The X-direction sliding layer 51 comprises a first base, a first sliding rail 511, a first sliding block 512 and a third reset spring 513; the first sliding rail 511 is arranged on the material plate 2, the first sliding block 512 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the first base, and the first base is slidably connected to the first sliding rail 511 through the first sliding block 512; and the third reset spring 513 is arranged between the first sliding block 512 and the material plate 2; when the first base loses the restriction, the third reset spring 513 is used to drive the first base to move and reset.

[0031] It should be noted that when the FPC generates X-direction thermal deformation, the pulling force of the FPC on the elastic clamping mechanism 4 is transmitted to the first base through the Z-direction sliding layer 53 and the Y-direction sliding layer 52, the first sliding block 512 is pushed to slide along the first sliding rail 511, the third reset spring 513 is compressed or stretched, and X-direction displacement compensation is realized; when the temperature decreases and the FPC contracts, the elastic force of the third reset spring 513 pulls the first sliding block 512 to reset, so that the first base returns to the initial position; the X-direction thermal deformation of the FPC is accurately compensated through the X-direction sliding layer 51, and the tensile stress generated by forced constraint is avoided; and the third reset spring 513 is automatically reset, so that the platform position is consistent after each test, and the consistency of multiple batches of tests is facilitated.

[0032] Please refer to Figures 1-4The Y-direction sliding layer 52 comprises a second base, a second sliding rail 521, a second sliding block 522, and a fourth reset spring 523. The second sliding rail 521 is arranged on the first base. The second sliding block 522 is fixedly arranged at the bottom of the second base. The second base is slidingly connected to the second sliding rail 521 through the second sliding block 522. The fourth reset spring 523 is arranged between the second sliding block 522 and the second base. When the second base loses the restriction, the fourth reset spring 523 is used to drive the second base to move and reset.

[0033] It should be noted that, the principle of the X-direction sliding layer 51 is the same. When the FPC generates the Y-direction thermal deformation, the second sliding block 522 is pushed to slide along the second sliding rail 521, and the fourth reset spring 523 is deformed to store energy. When the FPC shrinks, the elastic force of the fourth reset spring 523 drives the second base to reset. The Y-direction sliding layer 52 and the X-direction sliding layer 51 are vertically stacked, and together realize the deformation compensation of the FPC in any direction in the plane. The Y-direction thermal deformation compensation of the FPC is cooperated with the X-direction to form a full-direction stress release in the plane. The structure is symmetrical, the sliding resistance is small, and the smooth following of the platform when the FPC deforms is ensured.

[0034] Please refer to Figures 1-4 The Z-direction floating layer 53 comprises a spherical hinge 531 and a plurality of limiting shafts 532. The spherical hinge 531 is arranged between the second base and the clamping rod 41. The spherical hinge 531 comprises a spherical head 5311 and a housing 5312. The housing 5312 is fixedly arranged on the first base. One end of the spherical head 5311 is connected with the housing 5312. The other end of the spherical head 5311 is fixedly arranged on the clamping rod 41. The plurality of limiting shafts 532 are fixedly arranged on the housing 5312. One end of the plurality of limiting shafts 532 extends downward and is connected with the second base. The other end of the plurality of limiting shafts 532 extends upward and forms a protruding part. The spherical head 5311 and the housing 5312 are matched by a gap.

[0035] It should be noted that the spherical hinge 531 realizes multi-angle floating through the gap matching of the spherical head 5311 and the housing 5312. When the FPC generates the Z-direction warping, the spherical head 5311 rotates in the housing 5312, drives the clamping rod 41 to tilt, and compensates the angle deformation of the FPC. When the FPC generates a small change in the Z-direction, the spherical head 5311 can be slightly moved up and down along the housing 5312, and the displacement compensation in the Z-direction is realized. The limiting shaft 532 limits the maximum tilt angle of the spherical head 5311 through the contact with the clamping rod 41, avoids the excessive rotation to cause the FPC to fall off, and solves the deformation stress problem of the FPC in the Z-direction and the angle direction through the arrangement of the Z-direction floating layer 53, especially suitable for the FPC test of the bending area. The limiting shaft 532 ensures the controllable floating range and improves the safety of the device.

[0036] Please refer to Figures 1-4, the fifth reset spring 533 is arranged between the convex part and the clamping rod 41; when the clamping rod 41 loses the restriction, the fifth reset spring 533 is used to drive the clamping rod 41 to move, so that the clamping rod 41 keeps the horizontal reset state.

[0037] It should be noted that in the natural state, the fifth reset spring 533 is in a slightly compressed state, and the clamping rod 41 is subjected to an upward balanced spring force, so that the ball head 5311 is attached to the groove bottom of the shell 5312, and the clamping rod 41 is kept horizontal; when the FPC deformation drives the clamping rod 41 to tilt or sink, the spring at the corresponding position is further compressed or elongated, and the reset energy is stored; when the deformation disappears, the spring force drives the clamping rod 41 to reset to the horizontal state; the horizontal posture of the clamping rod 41 is ensured by the fifth reset spring 533 without external force, which is convenient for the clamping and positioning of the FPC; and the ball hinge 531 is reset, avoiding the platform deviation caused by gravity or slight vibration.
