[0019] The following is attached to the instruction manual Figure 1-5 , the technical solution of the utility model is explained through specific embodiments.

[0020] Embodiment:

[0021] like Figure 1-3 As shown, it is a schematic diagram of the overall and specific structure of the board DCR test fixture of the utility model. The board DCR test fixture includes a base 1, a protective cover 2 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1 through a buckle, a workbench 3 is fixedly installed on the top of the base 1, the workbench 3 is located in the protective cover 2, a moving platform 4 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the workbench 3, a test module 5 is fixedly installed on the other side of the top of the workbench 3, and a probe module 6 is fixedly installed on the side of the moving platform 4 close to the test module 5.

[0022] like Figure 3 As shown, the mobile platform 4 includes a first slide rail 41 fixedly installed on the top of the workbench 3, a first slide 42 is slidably connected to the top of the first slide rail 41, a vertical plate 43 is fixedly installed on one side of the top of the first slide 42, a second slide rail 44 is vertically fixedly installed on the surface of the vertical plate 43, an L-shaped plate 45 is slidably connected to the second slide rail 44, a cylinder 46 is fixedly installed on the top of the L-shaped plate 45, a mounting plate 47 is fixedly installed on the output end of the cylinder 46, a third slide rail 48 is fixedly installed on the top of the mounting plate 47, a second slide 49 is slidably connected to the third slide rail 48, and the probe module 6 is fixedly installed on the second slide 49 close to the test module 5.

[0023] It should be noted that the installation direction of the first slide rail 41 is parallel to the length direction of the workbench 3 , and the installation directions of the output end of the cylinder 46 and the third slide rail 48 are consistent with the installation direction of the first slide rail 41 .

[0024] The base 1 is provided with a plurality of control buttons, which are electrically connected to the mobile platform 4 and the probe module 6 .

[0025] Working steps: First, place the board to be tested on the test module 5, and press the control button on the base 1 through the test program of the corresponding board preset in the base 1 to control the movement of the mobile platform 4, and transport the probe module 6 to the top of the board to be tested, and test the board. The mobile platform 4 can move in a large range. When the probe module 6 is sent to the side of the test module 5 and reaches the top of the board, the first slide 42 moves on the first slide rail 41, and the structure on the top of the first slide 42 is moved to the side of the test module 5. The second slide 49 is on the third slide rail 48. The probe module 6 moves upward to make the probe module 6 reach above the detection position of the board on the test module 5, and the L-shaped plate 45 slides up and down on the second slide rail 44 to make the output end of the probe module 6 contact with the detection position of the board to detect the board. When changing the detection position, the L-shaped plate 45 is first reset, and the cylinder 46 drives the probe module 6 to move, and after driving the output end of the probe module 6 to another detection position on the board, the L-shaped plate 45 slides on the second slide rail 44 again, driving the output end of the probe module 6 to contact with the detection position of the board, and repeating the above steps until all the detection of the board is completed.

[0026] like Figure 4 As shown in the figure, it is the test principle diagram of the board DCR test fixture. The DCR test uses the four-wire method to measure resistance. The four-wire method is also called the four-terminal Kelvin detection or the four-point probe method. It is a precision impedance measurement technology. A pair of test wires are connected to the current source, and another pair of test wires (sensing wires) introduce the voltage drop on the measured resistor into the multimeter for measurement. The current source and the measured resistor R, the test wire resistors R1 and R4 form a loop, but the voltage sent to the two ends of the multimeter includes the voltage at both ends of the measured resistor R, and the voltage at both ends of the sensing wire resistors R2 and R3. However, R2 and R3 have little effect on the measured voltage, so the measurement accuracy is improved.

[0027] like Figure 5 As shown in the figure, it is a test block diagram. In the present utility model, the test board system consists of 7 parts:

[0028] The first part is Base_Board, which is a board customized according to test requirements. MCU, CC_Source_Board, Power, PC, Probe and El cetronic ControlBoard are connected through Base_Board to form a unified test system, which implements DCR tests on different parts by switching test paths;

[0029] The second part is the El cetronic Control Board, which is designed based on the STM32 microcontroller and provides general input and output ports. It controls the machine movements by connecting sensors and solenoid valves.

[0030] The third part is the Probe, which is used to connect the product to be tested to the test fixture of the utility model;

[0031] The fourth part is CC_Source_Board, which can provide 6 constant current sources: 1uA, 10uA, 100uA, 1mA, 10mA, 100mA. Its function is to provide constant current source when performing DCR test.

[0032] The fifth part is MCU, which is designed based on STM32 single-chip microcomputer. By adding its peripheral circuit, it can realize the voltage test. At the same time, it can realize the control of Base_Board through IIC communication.

[0033] The sixth part is Power, which provides a constant voltage source to power the test fixture. To ensure safety, the power supply supports emergency stop and cuts off the power supply in an emergency.

[0034] The seventh part is PC, i.e. the computer side. The computer side test program controls the machine test and uploads the test results to the system.

[0035] During the test, the El cetronic Control Board controls the machine to start moving and connects the probe to the product. After the machine moves in place, the test starts. The test program sends instructions to the MCU, and the MCU controls CC_Source_Board to provide a constant current source. At the same time, the MCU measures the voltage value. According to Ohm's law, the current I and voltage V are known, R = V / I, and the resistance value is calculated, thus completing the test process.

[0036] Compared with traditional testing technology, the testing fixture of the utility model has the advantages of small size, low cost and high precision.

[0037] The original technology is based on manual testing, and there are differences in measurements made by different people. The data obtained is not accurate enough, and its testing efficiency is low, making it unsuitable for industrial applications. This product uses a semi-automatic testing solution. The tester only needs to place the product to be tested in the designated location and press the start button with both hands. This product will start testing and upload the test results to the system.

[0038] Aiming at the shortcomings of the original technology, which is high cost and poor effect, the utility model adopts customized boards and modular design, which effectively reduces the design cost.

[0039] All the shortcomings of the original technology have been improved, and the advantages of the new technology in continuous product testing are more obvious. The utility model performs DCR testing on boards and cards, has a small size, a more competitive price, and stable testing performance to provide customers with a better choice.

[0040] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and that the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
