Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of testing equipment technology, specifically to a testing tool for potentiometer multichannel connectors. Background Technology

[0002] The connectors on a potentiometer primarily serve as electrical connections and mechanical fixation. Through conductive contacts, the connectors physically and electrically connect the potentiometer to a printed circuit board or other circuit components, ensuring the flow of current or signals. This allows the potentiometer to adjust its resistance and output corresponding voltage or current. High-quality connectors have low and stable contact resistance, reducing signal loss or interference. Their insertion and extraction forces and mechanical lifespan design ensure reliable contact even after multiple operations. Connectors are typically encapsulated in a housing to prevent environmental factors such as dust and moisture from affecting the potentiometer's internal contacts, enhancing overall structural stability and reducing malfunctions caused by vibration or impact. The standardized interfaces of connectors facilitate quick installation, removal, and replacement of potentiometers, simplifying circuit board assembly and subsequent maintenance processes. Testing tools are frequently used to check whether the connectors on potentiometers are functioning correctly.

[0003] However, traditional testing tools have the following drawbacks: Test tools are susceptible to high-frequency interference, contact resistance drift, and bandwidth limitations, which can lead to measurement deviations. Specifically, the contact resistance fluctuations on the test tool are affected by factors such as material oxidation and environmental temperature and humidity cycles, which may distort the signal integrity assessment. Insufficient bandwidth or lack of calibration of a single-channel probe can attenuate high-frequency signal components, resulting in inaccurate measurements. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a test tool for multi-channel potentiometer connectors to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, which are susceptible to high-frequency interference, contact resistance drift, and bandwidth limitations, leading to measurement deviations. Specifically, the contact resistance fluctuations on the test tool are affected by factors such as material oxidation and environmental temperature and humidity cycles, which may distort the signal integrity assessment; insufficient bandwidth or lack of calibration of a single-channel probe will attenuate high-frequency signal components, resulting in inaccurate measurements.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a potentiometer multi-channel connector type testing tool, including a testing platform; The test platform has test fixing slots on both sides of its top, and test components are fixedly installed inside each of the two test fixing slots. The test platform also has two clamp fixing slots located on one side of the test fixing slots, and clamping mechanisms are fixedly installed inside each of the two clamp fixing slots. Two displays connected to the test components are fixedly installed on the surface of the test platform. Each test component includes a printed circuit board (PCB) and a magnetic steel plate. One side of the top of the PCB is fixedly connected to the bottom of the magnetic steel plate. A differential routing pin mounting slot is located in the middle of the top of the PCB. A grounding shielding slot is located on the other side of the top of the PCB. An integrated voltage regulator is fixedly installed at the top of the differential routing pin mounting slot. A filter capacitor is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the integrated voltage regulator. A decoupling network circuit board passing through the filter capacitor is fixedly installed at the top of the integrated voltage regulator. Differential routing components are fixedly installed at the top of the decoupling network circuit board. A grounding shielding plate is fixedly installed at the top of the grounding shielding slot.

[0006] Furthermore, integrated voltage regulators, filter capacitors, and decoupling network circuit boards provide stable operating voltages for the connectors and suppress noise, which is especially crucial in analog or mixed-signal testing. Differential pair routing and shielding techniques are used to reduce crosstalk, and a robust grounding shield reduces electromagnetic interference and improves test reliability.

[0007] Furthermore, the bottom ends of both printed circuit boards are fixedly connected to the test mounting slots, and the test components are installed in the test mounting slots via the printed circuit boards.

[0008] Furthermore, the grounding shield, integrated voltage regulator, printed circuit board, and filter capacitor are all made of green abrasive FR4 material.

[0009] Furthermore, the width of the grounding shield is 6mm, the width of the integrated voltage regulator is 10mm, the width of the printed circuit board is 15mm, and the width of the filter capacitor is 3mm.

[0010] Furthermore, both clamping mechanisms include a fixed platform and a lower pressure frame. A telescopic screw is threadedly connected to the middle of the top of the fixed platform, and the top of the telescopic screw is movably connected to one side of the bottom of the lower pressure frame.

[0011] Furthermore, locking holes are provided on both sides of the top of the fixed platform, and the bottom of the fixed platform is fixedly connected to the clamp fixing groove. The user can tighten the screw through the locking hole to fix the fixed platform in the clamp fixing groove.

[0012] Furthermore, a connecting platform is fixedly installed on the surface of the lower pressure frame, and a miniature cylinder is fixedly installed on the surface of the fixed platform. The movable end of the miniature cylinder is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the connecting platform. The miniature cylinder performs telescopic movement, pulling the connecting platform from the bottom to adjust the height of the lower pressure frame, which is equivalent to a telescopic screw. The lower pressure frame and the fixed platform cooperate with each other to clamp and fix the potentiometer from both sides.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are: By setting up test components, the multi-channel design allows for the simultaneous testing of multiple connectors or channels, reducing single test time. The test components feature independent channel control and high-precision differential wiring components to achieve high-precision parameter measurement. Furthermore, the grounding shield, filter capacitors, and decoupling network circuit board are independently pressure controlled to avoid inter-channel interference, ensuring data accuracy and repeatability.
