Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application provides a flying probe tester for PCBA board performance test, and particularly relates to the technical field of PCBA board performance test. BACKGROUND

The test fixture does not need to be replaced, and the circuit board can be directly installed and tested by running a test program, which is very convenient.

[0003] In the patent authorized publication No. CN217007593U, a flying probe tester is disclosed, which installs at least two layers of test assemblies on a rack, can greatly utilize the advantages of multiple test heads according to different test point distribution centers, and improves the test efficiency.

On the one hand, the loose connection of the probes will cause unstable contact pressure between the needle tip and the solder joint, resulting in resistance value fluctuation exceeding the industry standard in the low-resistance conduction test, which may cause open circuit misjudgment. On the other hand, during the high-voltage insulation test, the offset of the loose probe may cause the distance between the electrodes to change, which may cause the insulation resistance measurement value to deviate from the true value, and even misjudge as a short circuit fault.

[0056] The driving unit comprises an arc-shaped protrusion 221 for circular motion;

[0057] The driving unit further comprises four grooved hanging plates 21 fixedly arranged on the bottom non-telescopic shaft of each electric cylinder 151, and one rotating disc 22 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the four grooved hanging plates 21, the arc-shaped protrusion 221 is formed at the edge of the bottom of each rotating disc 22, and arc-shaped inclined surfaces are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the bottom of the arc-shaped protrusion 221, and the telescopic shaft of each electric cylinder 151 is arranged in the center of the corresponding rotating disc 22, and a driving motor 23 is arranged above one of the rotating discs 22, and the driving motor 23 is fixedly mounted on the adjacent two grooved hanging plates 21. The output shaft at the bottom of the driving motor 23 is in transmission connection with the rotating disc 22 through the meshing transmission structure 24;

[0058] Specifically, the meshing transmission structure 24 is composed of a gear fixedly connected to the output shaft of the driving motor 23 and a plurality of teeth arranged in a ring shape on the top surface of the rotating disc 22 corresponding to the driving motor 23, the plurality of teeth form a ring-shaped toothed ring on the top surface of the rotating disc 22, and the gear is in meshing connection with the toothed ring;

[0059] As an implementation, the driving motor 23 selects a stepping motor (model 42BYGH40-1704A), the output shaft gear of which is in meshing transmission with the ring-shaped toothed ring on the top surface of the rotating disc 22, the transmission ratio is 1:3 (the rotating speed of the rotating disc is 10 rpm when the rotating speed of the motor is 30 rpm), and the reduction ratio can improve the torque output and ensure the stable rotation of the rotating disc 22 driving the arc-shaped protrusion 221.

[0060] Further, the top of each rotating disc 22 is provided with a synchronous transmission structure 25, which is composed of three sets of pulley structures, each set of pulley structure is composed of two synchronous pulleys and a synchronous belt connected between the two synchronous pulleys, one set of pulley structure is located between the other two sets of pulley structure and above the other two sets of pulley structure, and the extension shaft of each electric cylinder 151 passes through the center of each synchronous pulley without affecting the up and down movement of the extension shaft of the electric cylinder 151. The four synchronous pulleys in the lower two sets of pulley structure are coaxially fixedly connected with the top surface of each rotating disc 22, and the two synchronous pulleys in the upper set of pulley structure are coaxially fixedly connected with two of the four synchronous pulleys in the lower two sets of pulley structure. Each rotating disc 22 is driven to rotate synchronously by the synchronous transmission structure 25.

[0061] Further, as shown in Figure 7 the lower two sets of synchronous pulleys correspond to the four rotating discs 22, and the upper set of synchronous pulleys is coaxially connected with the lower pulleys through a transition block. It can be implemented that the synchronous belt is a polyurethane synchronous belt (model HTD-5M).

[0062] The rotating unit includes double sub-plates 31 fixedly connected to the side walls on the bottom of each slotted hanging plate 21, and a slotted plate 32 fixedly connected to the bottom of each double sub-plate 31. The slotted plate 32 has a T-shaped slot 33 inside, and a T-shaped block 34 is slidably arranged inside the T-shaped slot 33. Two symmetrical half-pipe-shaped grooves are arranged on the groove surface at the bottom of the T-shaped slot 33, and a ball is arranged on the top of the T-shaped block 34 and slidably connected in the half-pipe-shaped groove. The ball is embedded in the groove on the top of the T-shaped block 34, and forms a rolling guide pair with the half-pipe-shaped groove, thereby reducing the friction resistance. A return spring 341 is connected between the T-shaped block 34 and one side groove surface of the T-shaped slot 33. The top of the T-shaped block 34 is fixedly connected with an inclined movable plate 35, the top of the slotted plate 32 is fixedly provided with a frame-shaped plate 36, a pressing rod 37 passes through the frame-shaped plate 36, the end of the lower end of the pressing rod 37 is matched with the inclined surface of the inclined movable plate 35, and an inclined guide groove is arranged on the inclined surface of the inclined movable plate 35. The lower end of the pressing rod 37 is located in the inclined guide groove, and the return spring 341 is in a natural state. The end of the upper end of the pressing rod 37 is located on the path of the circumferential movement of the arc-shaped inclined surface of the arc-shaped protrusion 221, and the ends of the upper and lower ends of the pressing rod 37 are both hemispherical surfaces, which are used to ensure the transmission of pressure when the pressing rod 37 is in contact and to improve the stability of the transmission. The two side walls of the pressing rod 37 are formed with protrusions, the top of the frame-shaped plate 36 is provided with a through hole for the pressing rod 37 to pass through, and the protrusions on the two sides of the pressing rod 37 are matched with the through hole of the frame-shaped plate 36 to limit the radial deviation and ensure the vertical movement accuracy.

[0063] One side end of each execution rod 41 is fixedly connected with the bottom of the corresponding T-shaped block 34, and one side of each detection piece 42 is fixedly connected with one side outer wall of the corresponding groove plate 32.

[0064] The execution detection unit comprises at least four execution rods 41 annularly distributed along the circumferential outer wall of the test probe 152, and a detection piece 42 corresponding to the position of the execution rod 41, wherein the detection end of each detection piece 42 horizontally faces the outer wall of the test probe 152 and keeps a detection interval of 0.1 mm with the outer wall;

[0065] The four execution rods 41 are distributed at an interval of 90° along the circumference of the test probe 152 to form a cross-shaped detection array, which can cover the full-directional deviation of the test probe 152; during detection, the four execution rods 41 are pressed against the test probe 152 one by one, and the loose position is located by the detection piece 42.

[0066] The warning piece 43 corresponding to the test probe 152 is fixedly installed on the flat substrate 15, and the detection piece 42 is electrically connected with the corresponding warning piece 43; specifically, the detection piece 42 is configured as a pressure sensor, the warning piece 43 is configured as an audible and light alarm, and the pressure sensor and the audible and light alarm are electrically connected; when the outer wall of the test probe 152 contacts the detection end of the pressure sensor and generates pressure, the audible and light alarm automatically emits sound and light signals.

[0067] The setting of the 0.1 mm detection interval is based on the following factors: the resolution of the pressure sensor (model Honeywell 24PC) is 0.1 mN.

[0068] The working principle of the above embodiment is as follows:

[0069] The main controller 12 sends a command to start the driving motor 23, the output shaft gear of which is engaged with the gear ring of the rotating disc 22 to drive the rotating disc to rotate; the synchronous belt of the synchronous transmission structure 25 drives all the rotating discs 22 to synchronously rotate, thereby ensuring the consistency of the self-checking actions of the test probes 152.

[0070] When the rotating disc 22 rotates, the arc-shaped slope of the arc-shaped protrusion 221 periodically touches and presses the upper end of the pressing rod 37. When the protrusion slope pushes the pressing rod 37 to move downward, the lower end of the pressing rod 37 slides along the slope guide groove of the slope movable plate 35, forcing the slope movable plate 35 to move horizontally towards the test probe 152, and in the process, the reset spring 341 is stretched. The slope movable plate 35 drives the T-shaped block 34 to translate in the T-shaped groove 33, and the execution rod 41 fixed to the T-shaped block 34 horizontally presses the top outer wall of the test probe 152. If the test probe 152 is firmly connected and the deviation is less than 0.1 mm, the detection end of the pressure sensor does not contact or just contacts the outer wall of the test probe 152, and at this time, no signal is output.

[0071] If the test probe 152 is not tightly connected, under the pushing action of the execution rod 41, radial deviation occurs, and the deviation is greater than 0.1 mm, forcing the detection end of the pressure sensor on the side corresponding to the execution rod 41 to contact the outer wall of the test probe 152 and generate additional pressure, and the signal is converted into an electrical signal through an amplification circuit, driving the corresponding warning part 43 to issue an audible and visual alarm, and at the same time, the main controller 12 marks the position of the loose test probe 152 on the display screen.

[0072] Specifically:

[0073] In this embodiment, the deviation of the test probe 152 is "△x"; the test probe 152 deviates from its ideal position due to reasons such as loose connection and vibration. When △x≥0.1 mm, it means that the deviation exceeds the preset threshold. Under normal conditions, the detection end maintains a 0.1 mm gap with the outer wall of the probe, and when the probe deviates more than 0.1 mm, the two are in contact and generate pressure.

[0074] The probe stiffness "k" represents the ability of the test probe (152) to resist deformation, which is k=10 N / mm in this embodiment, indicating that the probe will generate a pressure of 10 N for every 1 mm of deviation.

[0075] The above formula logic and calculation example:

[0076] Formula: F=kx△x; when △x≥0.1 mm, the minimum value of the pressure F is: F=10 N / mm x 0.1 mm=1 mN (1 millinewton, 1 mN=0.001 N).

[0077] That is, when the test probe 152 deviates by 0.1 mm, the pressure detected by the pressure sensor is at least 1 mN, at which time the pressure sensor triggers the audible and visual alarm to prompt the probe connection to be loose or deviate abnormally.

[0078] The reset spring 341 retracts in the arc-shaped protrusion 221 and presses the rod 37, pulling the T-shaped block 34 back to its original position, and the execution rod 41 is separated from the probe, completing a single detection. Each test probe 152 will complete a tightness detection every time the rotating disc 22 rotates one revolution, and the tightness of each test probe 152 can be detected from at least four directions during the detection process; the detection period and time can be adjusted by the main controller by adjusting the motor speed and starting time.

[0079] The core technical effect of the above process is that when the flying probe tester is used, the flying probe tester test probe 12 connection state is realized. High-sensitivity, full-dimension automatic detection, effectively reducing the risk of test failure caused by loose test probe 12.

[0080] Specifically embodied: through the cooperation of the pressure sensor and the preset detection threshold, combined with the stiffness characteristics of the test probe 12, the slight deviation of the test probe 12 is converted into a pressure signal, which can accurately identify the looseness of the test probe 12 and avoid false judgment of the PCBA board test caused by the connection problem of the test probe 12;

[0081] The execution rod is distributed in the circumferential ring of the test probe 12, and is pressed from multiple directions for detection. Compared with one-way detection, it can cover all possible angles of test probe 12 looseness, avoid missed detection, and ensure that the detection result is comprehensive and reliable;

[0082] The main controller links each unit to automatically control the detection process and realize periodic and automatic detection. Without frequent manual intervention, the detection efficiency is improved, and the detection requirements of large-scale and long-time PCBA boards are met;

[0083] When the test probe 12 is detected to be loose, the system immediately triggers an audible and light alarm, and marks the position on the main controller display screen, so that maintenance personnel can quickly locate the problem, shorten the downtime repair time, and reduce the impact of equipment downtime;

[0084] The synchronous transmission structure ensures that the detection actions of multiple test probes 12 are consistent, and each test probe 12 can be detected at the same time, enhancing the overall reliability of the equipment;

[0085] Automatic detection reduces the workload and labor cost of manual inspection, provides early warning of test probe 12 problems, avoids test rework and equipment loss caused by test probe 12 failure, and reduces the overall operation and maintenance cost.

[0086] The above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present application, and not to limit them; although the present application has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that they can still modify the technical solutions recorded in the foregoing embodiments, or make equivalent replacement for part of the technical features; and these modifications or replacements will not make the essence of the corresponding technical solutions deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of the present application.
