[0002] With the emergence of electronic and electrical products and fierce competition, the quality requirements for products are getting higher and higher. Therefore, in order to ensure the quality of products, they will undergo multiple rigorous tests before leaving the factory. When the product is tested, it is necessary to design special test equipment to complete the various functional tests of the product. Common test equipment is divided into two parts: test fixtures and test machines. When testing different products, it is generally necessary to design and manufacture test fixtures for the corresponding products. At the same time, when testing different functions of the product, it is also necessary to design and manufacture test machines for the corresponding test functions. Therefore, there are many types of test equipment and various styles of test machines. Due to the rapid iteration of modern consumer electronic products, the corresponding test machines also need to be iterated quickly, resulting in the elimination of a large number of tests, which in turn increases the cost of testing. Utility Model Content

[0007] 2. By installing a signal adapter module on the test channel and installing a connection board for conducting electrical contact with the signal adapter module on the replaceable test group, the test fixture can be conveniently connected to the signal processing board for testing when the replaceable test group is installed. At the same time, when the replaceable test group is disassembled, the test fixture can be conveniently disconnected from the signal processing board.

[0008] 3. Since the substrate is provided with several test channels, it is possible to perform simultaneous tests on multiple products and to test different functions of the products.

[0009] In order to further optimize the above technical solution, it can be optionally combined with one or more of the following implementation methods without conflict.

Since the theoretical life of the probe can be up to 200,000 times, the number of connections between the signal adapter module and the connection board can be up to 200,000 times, so that the life of the signal adapter module and the connection board is sufficient to meet the number of iterative replacements of the replaceable test group;

[0012] 2. Since the signal connection is achieved by connecting the probe to the conductive contact, the test fixture can be more conveniently connected to the signal processing board signal compared to the transmission plug-in and plug-out method.

[0013] In some embodiments, the connection plate is equipped with a probe pressing block for pressing the connection probe down onto the conductive contact; according to the technical solution, the connection plate is pressed down by the probe pressing block so that the connection probe can contact the conductive contact more stably.

[0014] In some embodiments, the substrate is installed with support columns and support blocks for lifting and positioning the replaceable test group; according to the technical solution, the utility model can further achieve the following beneficial effects:

[0015] 1. When the replaceable test group is installed on the test channel, the connection probe can accurately contact the conductive contact;

[0016] 2. By lifting up the replaceable test group, a space for movement is reserved for the connection plate during the contact process of the conductive contacts of the connection probe, thereby protecting the connection probe and the conductive contacts.

[0017] In some embodiments, the test fixture includes a PCB board and a carrier, the PCB board is installed on the replaceable test group and is connected to the connection board signal, the PCB board is provided with a contact portion for energizing the product, the carrier is installed on the PCB board, the carrier is provided with a product slot for placing the product, the contact portion is located in the product slot, the carrier shaft is connected to a cover plate for pressing down and fixing the product, and the cover plate is installed with a buckle for fixing to the carrier; according to the technical solution, the product can be directly electrically connected to the PCB board, thereby reducing the impedance and signal interference during product testing compared to the method of electrically connecting to the fixture through an adapter line, and at the same time, the structural distribution of the replaceable test group is made more streamlined and orderly.

[0018] In some embodiments, the support block is located below the PCB board; according to the technical solution, after the replaceable test group is installed in the test channel, the support block is used to support and reinforce the PCB board, thereby reducing damage to the PCB caused by the excessive weight of the test fixture and the product.

[0019] In some embodiments, the signal processing board is provided with a control unit, and the replaceable test group is installed with a functional test unit connected to the connection board signal; according to the technical solution, the test channel on the universal testing machine can be installed with a replaceable test group for testing different functions, thereby further improving the versatility.
