[0002] Modal testing is one of the important means to measure the dynamic characteristics of electronic equipment structures, such as natural frequency and vibration mode. It can also verify the accuracy of modal simulation analysis models, provide timely feedback and update simulation model parameters, and achieve accurate consistency between simulation and real objects through continuous approximation and accumulation. The modal test fixture can provide a weak spring boundary for the object under test in the modal test, and can stimulate the complete vibration mode of the test object in conjunction with the force hammer. A qualified modal test fixture can eliminate the influence of the inertial parameters of the test object on the test results caused by the additional device, making the test results true and reliable.

[0003] Publication number CN115824627A proposes a modal test fixture suitable for shaft structures, but this fixture is difficult to apply to modal test of printed circuit boards with various forms and sizes. Publication numbers CN 207923458 U and CN219870305 U both propose a modal test platform system for automotive parts. This type of modal test equipment is suitable for large structures such as vehicle frames. The structure is complex and the equipment needs to be powered when in use, which is too complicated for lightweight printed circuit boards. Publication number CN 213956712U proposes a vibration impact modal test fixture, which uses bolts to tighten rigid connections and cannot simulate the weak spring boundary conditions of free modal testing.

[0004] It can be seen from the above-mentioned prior art that there is currently no universal electronic equipment printed circuit board modal test support fixture, which cannot provide high-quality weak spring boundary conditions for the test sample. Modern electronic equipment has diverse functions, extremely different sizes and layouts, but the existing fixture can only achieve the same size and shape of clamping, which inevitably leads to slow progress and low efficiency of modal testing.

For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.

[0037] Since the existing modal test fixture can only achieve the clamping of the same size and shape, it leads to a narrow adaptability range and low test efficiency, that is, poor versatility.

[0038] Based on the above problems, Figure 1As shown, the utility model provides a modal test fixture for a printed circuit board 4 of a general electronic device, comprising a square bottom plate 1 and a support column 2, wherein the square bottom plate 1 is provided with slide grooves 5 on all four sides, and the four corners of the square bottom plate 1 are provided with cross grooves 8, wherein the cross grooves 8 are connected to the slide grooves 5; the support column 2 is slidably connected to the cross grooves 8 and can slide along the slide grooves 5; and a circuit board support structure is provided on the support column 2.

[0039] The support columns 2 slide along the slide grooves 5 to adjust the distance between adjacent support columns 2, thereby being used for modal tests of printed circuit boards 4 of different sizes and shapes, having a wide range of applications and being able to improve the efficiency of modal tests.

[0040] When no modal test is performed, one end of the support column 2 is located in the cross groove 8; when a modal test is required, the support column 2 slides along the slide groove 5 to a required position.

[0041] The bottom of the support column 2 may be provided with a roller or a second slider 7. When performing a modal test, the roller or the second slider 7 is placed in the slide groove 5. There is a distance between the roller or the second slider 7 and the wall of the slide groove 5 to facilitate smooth sliding.

[0042] The main function of the circuit board support structure is to support the circuit board. In actual modal tests, it is hoped that the circuit board is in a stable weak spring boundary condition, which can greatly improve the stability and accuracy of the modal test. Therefore, the circuit board support structure is best able to provide a weak spring boundary condition.

[0043] As a possible implementation, Figure 2 As shown, at least part of the end of the support column 2 away from the square bottom plate 1 is hollow, and through holes are provided on two opposite walls of the hollow part of the support column 2.

[0044] The circuit board support structure includes an elastic rope 202 and a pin 204. The pin 204 is inserted into the through hole. Locking nuts 205 are provided at both ends of the pin 204 and the locking nuts 205 are provided on the outer wall of the support column 2. The part of the pin 204 provided in the hollow is connected to one end of the elastic rope 202, and the elastic rope 202 is wound around the pin 204. The other end of the elastic rope 202 passes through the support column 2 and is connected to a hook 201.

[0045] The hollow part is mainly for the installation of the elastic rope 202 and the pin 204 and the movement of the elastic rope 202. The hooks 201 at the tops of the four support columns 2 are all used to hang the four corners of the circuit board to achieve support.

[0046] In actual application, in order to make the hook 201 reach the desired position, it is necessary to first unscrew the locking nut 205 so that the pin 204 can rotate around its own central axis, and then pull the hook 201 to the desired position, tighten the locking nut 205 to fix the pin 204. During this process, the elastic rope 202 is unwound from the pin 204 and stretched, thereby providing a stable weak spring boundary condition.

[0047] The elastic rope 202 can also be replaced by a material with a certain elasticity such as a spring or rubber.

[0048] As a possible implementation, the elastic rope 202 is conveniently led out from the hollow part, such as Figure 2 As shown, one end of the hollow part of the support column 2 is a detachable stop cover 203 , and a through hole is provided on the stop cover 203 .

[0049] Before the elastic rope 202 is led out, the stop cover 203 is opened, and the elastic rope 202 is pulled by hand or a tool so that it is led out of the top of the support column 2 and then passes through the through hole on the stop cover 203 and then connected to the hook 201.

[0050] As a possible implementation method, in order to facilitate the stability of modal tests, such as Figure 2 As shown, a locking plate 206 is provided at one end of the support column 2 close to the cross groove 8 . After the support column 2 is moved into position and erected, locking is achieved by tightening the screws on the locking plate 206 .

[0051] As a possible implementation, in order to facilitate the storage of the support column 2, as Figure 2 Shown and Figure 4 The support column 2 is connected to one end of the cross groove 8 with a hinge 207, one blade 2071 of the hinge 207 is connected to the support column 2, and the other surface is a free piece 2072, and the lower surface of the free piece 2072 is provided with a first slider 6 adapted to the slide groove 5.

[0052] The first slider 6 and the lower surface of the free piece 2072 can be fixedly connected or integrally formed. When stored, the first slider 6 is placed in the slide groove 5, so the hinge 207 is arranged on the surface that contacts the square bottom plate 1 after the support column 2 is stored.

[0053] One of the blades 2071 of the hinge 207 is connected to the support column 2, and the connection here can be a fixed connection or a detachable connection.

[0054] The sliding connection between the support column 2 and the cross groove 8 can be achieved by the following means:

[0055] The lower end of the support column 2 is provided with a second slider 7, and when the hinge 207 is unfolded, the second slider 7 and the first slider 6 are in the same straight line, so as to ensure that the second slider 7 can slide in the slide groove 5, and the support column 2 can also be stored.

[0056] To prevent the fixture from sliding relative to the ground, Figure 1 As shown, a non-slip pad 3 is fixed on the lower surface of the square bottom plate 1. The fixing here can be a commonly used connection method in the art such as bonding.

[0057] In order to reduce the weight of the modal test fixture, such as Figure 2 As shown, the square bottom plate 1 is in a U-shape, that is, the middle is completely empty.

[0058] In actual use, Figure 2 As shown, the hinge 207 is arranged on the side of the support column 2, and the side here refers to the surface where the support column 2 and the square bottom plate 1 are in contact; when the hinge 207 is unfolded, the first slider 6 is placed in the slide groove 5, that is, the first slider 6 is in the free piece 2072 of the hinge 207 that is not in contact with the square bottom plate 1.

[0059] The following example illustrates

[0067] A second sliding block 7 is disposed at the lower end of the support column 2; when the hinge 207 is unfolded, the second sliding block 7 and the first sliding block 6 are in the same straight line.

[0068] An anti-slip pad 3 is fixed on the lower surface of the square bottom plate 1 .

[0070] The first sliding block 6 and the free piece 2072 are integrally formed; the second sliding block 7 and the lower end of the supporting column 2 are integrally formed.

[0071] The steps for using the modal test fixture are as follows:

[0072] The first step is to place the fixture on a flat surface and manually raise the four support columns 2 from a flat state. Figure 5 shown.

[0073] In the second step, the position of the support column 2 is adjusted according to the shape and size of the printed circuit board 4 of the experimental object, so that it moves to a suitable position in the square base slide groove 5, and then the support column 2 is locked by using the locking plate 206. Figure 5 shown.

[0074] The third step is to loosen the locking nut 205 that fixes the pin shaft 204 so that the pin shaft 204 can rotate relative to the support column 2, pull out the hook 201 to hook up the printed circuit board 4 that needs to be subjected to the modal test, and tighten the nut to fix the pin shaft 204 to the support column 2.
