[0003] Circuit boards make circuits miniaturized and intuitive, and play an important role in the mass production of fixed circuits and the optimization of electrical appliance layout.

[0004] At present, in the era of full automation, in order to successfully connect and communicate the circuit board of the low-voltage electric control system with the host computer, it is necessary to place the rectangular circuit board in a special tooling for positioning and then perform automated operations to avoid human factors affecting the fragile components on the circuit board. Therefore, in order to achieve this goal, the requirements for positioning are: 1. Accurate positioning of the circuit board and the matching tooling; 2. Each functional through hole on the circuit board needs to be accurately connected to the external power supply system, signal source and external source of the host computer for power supply and communication. However, at present, the positioning of the circuit board is manually operated and has the following defects: 1. There is uncertain electrostatic interference in manual operation, which has a certain probability of damaging the circuit board and causing unnecessary cost waste. 2. The manual positioning operation requires multiple people to work at the same time. First, the circuit board needs to be fixed to prevent sliding and loosening. Secondly, since there are many external sources connecting the circuit board, the circuit board has more through holes scattered in multiple parts. It is difficult to check whether the through holes are connected to the external source by naked eyes. Finally, the circuit board is easy to be installed in the wrong direction, resulting in damage to the circuit, which increases the difficulty of positioning and connection.

The groove wall of the positioning groove 21 is provided with a step 22 for supporting the circuit board 3. At least one first positioning hole 23 is provided on the step 22. At least one plate hole 31 is provided on the circuit board 3. The first positioning hole 23 and the plate hole 31 are plugged and fixed by a first positioning pin (not shown). The first positioning pin is pre-installed in the first positioning hole 23 so as to align the first positioning hole 23 of the circuit board 3 each time. The support frame 4 is fixed on the base 1. The guide mechanism 5 is supported on the base 1. The movable plate 7 is movably arranged on the guide mechanism 5 and a plurality of movable probes 6 are provided on a side surface facing the positioning block 2. The circuit board 3 is provided with a plurality of pinholes 32 correspondingly plugged and matched with each movable probe 6. The lifting mechanism 8 is arranged on the support frame 4. The lifting mechanism 8 is used to apply a force to the movable plate 7 to drive the movable plate 7 to move toward or away from the positioning block 2 under the guidance of the guide mechanism 5. When the movable plate 7 and the positioning block 2 are close to each other and the movable probe 6 and the pinhole 32 are plugged in and matched, the circuit board 3 can be tested. Therefore, the embodiment of the circuit board test fixture can not only accurately position the positioning block 2 and the circuit board 3 by setting the first positioning hole 23 and the plate hole 31 that are plugged in and matched on the positioning block 2 and the circuit board 3, but also prevent the circuit board 3 from being installed upside down on the positioning block 2, thereby ensuring that the movable probe 6 on the movable plate 7 is accurately connected to the pinhole 32 on the circuit board 3, so that the circuit board test fixture obtains the technical effect of accurately positioning the circuit board 3 and accurately connecting it with the external source.

In this way, the external power supply and the host computer are electrically connected to the power probe 61 and the host computer probe 62 correspondingly through the power connection line and the host computer connection line, so that the position where the circuit board test fixture is arranged can be facilitated, and the entanglement and crowding of the connection lines can be prevented.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 3 and Figure 5 Preferably, the circuit board 3 and the positioning groove 21 are both set to be rectangular, so that it can adapt to the rectangular shape adopted by most circuit boards 3 and has high compatibility.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 5Preferably, the board holes 31 are arranged in a pair and are respectively arranged at the angle of an adjacent rectangle along a short side of a rectangle of the circuit board 3. The power pinhole 321 and the host computer pinhole 322 are respectively arranged adjacently along and parallel to a pair of long sides of the rectangle, and are arranged oppositely and obliquely relative to the center of the rectangle. In this way, it can be further ensured that the circuit board 3 is correctly installed on the step 22 and each pair of probes and pinholes 32 are accurately connected.

[0040] Please refer to Figures 6 to 8 Optionally, as another embodiment of the circuit board test fixture of the utility model, it differs from the previous circuit board test fixture embodiment in that the circuit board test fixture also includes a pad 9, which is arranged between the positioning block 2 and the base 1. In this embodiment, the pad 9 is set as a pair of spaced parallel and perpendicular to the base 1, and a first pad hole 91, a second pad hole 92 and a third pad hole 93 are provided on the pad 9, and a plurality of pairs of first pad holes 91 and second connecting holes 12 are respectively provided on the pad 9 and the base 1, and the first pad hole 91 and the second connecting hole 12 are connected by a connecting member, and at least one seat hole 11 is provided on the base 1, and the seat hole 11 and the second pad hole 92 are plugged and fixed by a third positioning pin (not shown), and a second positioning hole 24 is provided on the positioning block 2, and the second pad hole 92 and the second positioning hole 24 are plugged and fixed by a fourth positioning pin (not shown).
