[0002] With the development of electronic technology, liquid crystal display screens have become the mainstream of the market. In the production of LCD panel modules to finished products, lighting test is also a relatively important link in the production process; lighting test mainly puts the LCD panel into the test slot of the test machine, presses the switch, lights up the product, switches the screen, turns off the power, and finds out defective products.

[0003] In the prior art, LCD panel testers are all equipped with a power switch on one side of the test slot. Normal operation is to turn off the power first, put the test product into the test slot, press the switch to power on the test, and after the test is completed, press the switch to turn off the power and remove the test product. However, operators usually hot-swap the product while it is powered on, that is, the lighting tester has not been powered off, and the product is plugged in and out in the powered-on state, causing problems such as burnt out of the internal circuit of the product, no display, abnormal display, etc. Finally, the product is damaged due to hot-swap and needs to be reworked, resulting in low efficiency.

[0021] In order to facilitate the understanding of the present invention, the present invention will be described more fully below with reference to the relevant drawings. Several embodiments of the present invention are given in the drawings. However, the present invention can be implemented in many different forms and is not limited to the embodiments described herein. On the contrary, the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the present invention more thorough and comprehensive.

[0022] It should be noted that when an element is referred to as being "fixed to" another element, it may be directly on the other element or there may be a central element. When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it may be directly connected to the other element or there may be a central element at the same time. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are for illustrative purposes only.

[0023] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art in the technical field of the present invention. The terms used herein in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention. The term "and / or" used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more related listed items.

[0024] See also Figure 1 to Figure 2 In one embodiment of the utility model, a liquid crystal panel test anti-hot plug fixture includes an upper flip cover 1 and a lower base plate 2 connected to the upper flip cover 1 by a hinge 3. The upper flip cover 1 is vertically provided with a lever 11. The lower base plate 2 includes a main body and a fixed part 21 formed by the main body being recessed inward. The main body is located on one side of the hinge 3 and is provided with a notch 26 for avoiding the lever 11. A micro switch paddle 4 is rotatably provided in the notch 26. The upper flip cover 1 is provided with an observation window 12 whose length and width match the fixed part 21. A light-transmitting groove 22 is provided in the middle of the fixed part 21.

[0025] In this embodiment, the lower substrate 2 is installed and fixed on the testing machine, wherein the light-transmitting groove 22 coincides with the testing groove of the testing machine, the microswitch on the machine and one end of the microswitch paddle 4 abut against each other, the S-shaped microswitch paddle 4 is located in the groove 26, and the other end of the microswitch paddle 4 is located between the groove 26 and the lever 11, and the microswitch is indirectly controlled by squeezing the microswitch paddle 4 through the lever 11.

[0026] See also Figure 3 It should be noted that, since a limit block 31 is provided between the relative rotation axes of the hinge 3 for rotating between the upper flip cover 1 and the lower base plate 2, the upper flip cover 1 can only rotate from a position in contact with the lower base plate 2 to a position perpendicular to the lower base plate 2, that is, between 0-90°.

[0027] It should be noted that when the upper flip cover 1 is at 90°, the lever 11 arranged perpendicular to the upper flip cover 1 is parallel to the lower base plate 2. At this time, the lever 11 and the micro switch paddle 4 are in a squeeze contact state, so that the test machine is in a power-off state.

[0028] The working process is as follows: when the upper flip cover 1 is at 90°, the test product is manually placed into the fixing portion 21. Since seven locking grooves 23 are recessed on the edge of the fixing portion 21, a positioning lock 24 is slidably provided in the locking groove 23. Since the locking groove 23 is communicated with the fixing portion 21, the test product can be positioned and locked in the fixing portion 21 by sliding the positioning lock 24. Then rotate the upper flip cover 1 to 0°, that is, the upper flip cover 1 is fitted with the lower base plate 2. During this process, the lever 11 is separated from the extrusion contact with the micro switch paddle 4, and the test machine can complete the power-on, so that the product is tested in a closed environment, thereby avoiding hot plugging operation; since the observation window 12 is aligned with the fixing portion 21, the product test state can be viewed through the observation window 12. After the test is completed, in order to facilitate the opening and rotation of the upper flip cover 1, a hook groove 13 is provided on the upper flip cover 1, and the operator can easily hook up the upper flip cover 1 through the hook groove 13. When the upper flip cover 1 is at 90°, the lever 11 is in extrusion contact with the micro switch paddle 4, so that the test machine is powered off, the positioning lock 24 is unlocked, and the test product is taken out, thereby avoiding hot plugging operation; wherein, in order to facilitate the better removal of the tested product, a buckle groove 25 is provided between the lower base plate 2 and the fixing portion 21, and the operator can reach into the bottom of the test product through the buckle groove 25 and flip up the product for easy product removal.

[0029] In summary, the anti-hot-plug fixture for testing liquid crystal panels in the above-mentioned embodiments of the utility model vertically sets a lever on the upper cover plate, and when the upper cover plate is fitted with the lower substrate, the product is in a closed environment, the lever and the micro switch paddle are separated from the extrusion contact, the test machine is powered on, and the product is tested, thereby avoiding hot plugging of the product, and the lever and the micro switch paddle are only in extrusion contact when the upper cover plate is vertical to the lower substrate, and the test machine is in a power-off state, so that the product cannot be hot-plugged, and a fixing part and a positioning lock used in conjunction with the fixing are set on the lower substrate, so that the utility model can achieve the anti-hot-plug and fixing functional characteristics, reduce the problems of internal circuit burnout, no display, abnormal display, etc. of the product due to hot plugging during detection, reduce the probability of rework, and improve work efficiency.
