[0026] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and implementation examples.

[0027] Please refer to Figures 1 to 5 A solid-state drive testing device includes a testing platform 1. A first slideway 2 is provided on the testing platform 1, within which a slide 3 slides smoothly. A testing base 4 is securely mounted on top of the slide 3. This testing base 4 is equipped with a data connector 5 and a power connector 6, which enable precise electrical connection with the solid-state drive.

[0028] In order to ensure the smooth and powerful sliding of the slide 3, a cylinder 9 is fixed at the bottom of the detection platform 1, and its output end is tightly connected to the connecting plate 8 at the bottom of the slide 3. When the cylinder 9 is started, it can drive the slide 3 to slide stably along the first slide 2.

[0029] It is worth mentioning that a magazine-like magazine 10 is cleverly installed on the top of the testing platform 1, which is aligned with the testing base 4. The magazine-like magazine 10 is firmly fixed to the top of the testing platform 1 by four L-shaped plates 11. Its shape and function are similar to a magazine, and it can conveniently store and supply multiple solid-state drives.

[0030] A specially designed SSD outlet 12 is located at the bottom of the two L-shaped plates 11. This outlet is equipped with a stop plate 14 and flexibly connected to the L-shaped plates 11 via a rotating shaft 13. A torsion spring 15 is cleverly installed on the outside of the rotating shaft 13, its ends tightly engaging the detection platform 1 and the rotating shaft 13, respectively. This design is very practical and effectively prevents the SSD from accidentally slipping out of the outlet 12 during movement, thereby ensuring that the data connector 5 and power connector 6 can accurately connect to the SSD.

[0031] To further enhance automation, the inspection platform 1 is equipped with a second slideway 16, perpendicular to the first slideway 2. Within this slideway, a sliding block 17 slides freely, with a push plate 18 affixed to its top. This push plate 18 plays a crucial role, steadily pushing the SSDs at the bottom of the magazine-type hopper 10 out of the discharge port 12.

[0032] To achieve this motion, a linkage mechanism 19 is installed between the connecting plate 8 and the slider 17. This linkage is a highly sophisticated design, consisting of a fixed block 20 secured to the bottom of the slider 17 and a connecting rod 22 flexibly articulated to the fixed block 20 and the connecting plate 8 via a hinge 21. As the slide 3 slides within the first slideway 2, the connecting rod 22 drives the slider 17 and the push plate 18 to slide along the second slideway 16, thereby achieving automatic feeding of the SSD.

[0033] To facilitate placement of SSDs into the magazine-style magazine 10 (the SSD's overall square shape allows multiple drives to be stacked smoothly and neatly), the top of the L-shaped plate 11 is specially designed with a chamfer 23. Furthermore, to ensure smooth movement of the connecting plate 8, a groove 24 is defined at the bottom of the inspection platform 1, while a protrusion 25 is fixed to the bottom of the connecting plate 8, allowing it to slide smoothly within the groove 24.

[0034] The entire device is not only designed to be user-friendly, but also takes into full consideration the convenience and stability during use. For example, a smooth plate 26 is embedded on the top of the detection platform 1, which can effectively reduce the wear and tear of the solid-state drive during movement, thereby extending its service life.

[0035] When the slide 3 is at one end of the first slideway 2, the push plate 18 is completely outside the magazine 10, without interfering with the storage of the SSDs. However, when the slide 3 slides to the other end of the first slideway 2, the push plate 18 precisely passes through the SSD outlet 12, smoothly ejecting the SSDs at the bottom layer for subsequent testing.

[0036] Furthermore, the width of the push plate 18 is designed to be greater than that of the first slideway 2, ensuring stability and even distribution of thrust. Simultaneously, the bottom of the push plate 18 maintains close contact with the inspection platform 1, providing solid support from the latter. Even more impressively, the thickness of the push plate 18 is precisely designed to match that of the SSD, ensuring a stable, non-tilting or jamming position when pushing the SSD.

[0037] How it works |

[0038] The SATA solid-state drives to be tested are stacked in the clip-type hopper 10, and the piston rod of the cylinder 9 is retracted, driving the connecting plate 8 and the test base 4 to move along the first slide 2. During the movement of the test base 4, the test base 4 drives the slider 17 and the push plate 18 to slide along the second slide 16 via the connecting rod 22. The push plate 18 is removed from the clip-type hopper 10. Subsequently, the SATA solid-state drives on the bottom layer are released from the test platform 1 under the action of gravity. As the test base 4 continues to move along the first slide 2, the solid-state drives are docked with the data connector 5 and power connector 6 on the test base 4. The test host will then start testing, which is responsible for controlling the test process and data analysis.

[0039] During the separation process, the piston rod of the cylinder 9 is extended, and the data connector 5 and the power supply connector 6 on the detection seat 4 are separated from the solid-state hard disk. The detection seat 4 drives the slider 17 and the push plate 18 to slide along the second slide 16 through the connecting rod 22, so that the push plate 18 moves toward the clip-type hopper 10. The push plate 18 contacts the solid-state hard disk on the bottom layer, so that the solid-state hard disk on the bottom layer moves out along the solid-state hard disk outlet 12. The solid-state hard disk squeezes the limit plate 14, causing the torsion spring 15 to twist and store energy, and the detection is performed reciprocatingly.

Any equivalent structure or equivalent process transformation made by using the contents of the description and drawings of the present invention, or directly or indirectly applied in other related technical fields, are also included in the patent protection scope of the present invention.
