The linear guide 24 is located below the movable plate 22. The screw rod is used to drive the lower pressure plate 9 and the first limiting assembly 17 is used in conjunction with the lower pressure plate 9. The screw rod works to push the lower pressure plate 9 to retract inward until it reaches the first limiting assembly 17. At this time, the lower pressure plate 9 has moved to just below the upper pressure plate 6. The first limiting assembly 17 can prevent the lower pressure plate 9 from further retracting. The housing 25 is also provided with an alarm light 1, a lock 2, a power interface, a safety grating 13, a wiring panel, a handle 3, an emergency stop button 4 and a multi-color button 5. The safety grating 13 Located at the top of the housing 25 near the front opening, during the normal operation of the equipment, when the safety grating 13 detects an object entering, the device will stop working immediately to ensure safety. The test component is used to place the PCBA board and automatically transfer it to the detection position. The lifting component is used to press down so that the PCBA board can be detected. The housing 25 is to protect the test process from interference from environmental factors. The alarm light 1 is a three-color LED light. When the detection equipment encounters an emergency, the alarm light 1 can remind the operator, where red indicates a device operation failure; yellow indicates that the current device is in an idle state; green indicates that the device is operating normally.

[0022] During the specific work, the operator needs to manually place the PCBA board to be tested on the lower pressure plate 9 and press the multi-color button 5 to start the device. The air pressure valve 16 serves as a power source to drive the upper pressure plate 6 to move up and down. After the sensor 11 senses and confirms that the PCBA board has been correctly placed on the ejector pin of the lower pressure plate 9 and is correct, the lower pressure plate 9 shrinks to just below the upper pressure plate 6.

Subsequently, the device is connected to the external test equipment through the wiring panel to test various performance indicators of the PCBA board. After the test work is completed, the air pressure controller 18 receives the corresponding signal, reduces the amount of compressed air flowing into the linear bearing 14, and controls the upper pressing plate 6 to move upward.

[0024] In one embodiment, the number of linear bearings 14 is two and the two linear bearings 14 are located at opposite positions at the top of the lifting assembly, which can ensure that the upper pressing plate 6 can always maintain a straight track during movement and reduce friction.

[0025] In one embodiment, a sealing plate 15 with a double-door structure is provided directly above the wiring panel. The sealing plate 15, the supporting base plate 23 and the outer shell 25 form a closed structure to protect various components. When any internal components fail, the sealing plate 15 with a double-door structure can be opened and closed to facilitate maintenance and replacement.

[0026] In one embodiment, the number of the multi-color buttons 5 is four and the multi-color buttons 5 are located directly in front of the housing 25, which can realize the startup, reset and rapid braking of the device in an emergency situation. The multi-color buttons 5 include two green buttons, one blue button and one red button.
