[0019] like Figures 1 to 6As shown, in this embodiment, the utility model includes a carrier plate 1 and a fixed module 2, the fixed module 2 includes a push-pull block 21, an X-axis slide rail 22 and a limit block 23, the X-axis slide rail 22 is arranged on one side of the upper end surface of the carrier plate 1, the push-pull block 21 is connected to the movable end of the X-axis slide rail 22, the limit end of the carrier plate 1 is provided with a connector limit block 3, the limit block 23 is connected to the push-pull block 21, the connector limit block 3 is provided with a connector limit groove 4, the push-pull block 21 drives the limit block 23 to cooperate with the connector end of the soft flat cable product vertically placed on the connector limit groove 4, and a side push module 5 is also provided on the other side of the carrier plate 1, the side push module 5 cooperates with the fixed module 2, and the fixed module 2 drives the limit end of the side push module 5 to cooperate with the soft flat cable product. It can be seen that the push-pull block 21 can slide linearly on the X-axis slide rail 22, driving the limit block 23 to stably press the connector end of the soft flat cable product on the connector limit groove 4. The side push module 5 simultaneously pushes the soft flat cable product sideways during the pressing process to prevent the limit block 23 from crushing the soft flat cable product connector due to inaccurate pre-positioning. The structure is simple, multiple modules are linked, and the positioning accuracy is higher.

[0020] like Figures 1 to 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a buckle 6 is provided at the upper end of the push-pull block 21, and the middle part of the buckle 6 is hinged to the upper end surface of the push-pull block 21. A buckle seat 7 is provided at one side of the limiting end of the carrier plate 1, and the buckle end of the buckle 6 cooperates with the buckle seat 7. A first spring 8 is also provided between the other end of the buckle 6 and the push-pull block 21. It can be seen that in the process of the limiting block 23 pressing the flexible flat cable product, the buckle 6 cooperates with the buckle seat 7 to lock it, so as to prevent the fixing module 2 from loosening during the process of pressing and transferring, causing the flexible flat cable product to fall off. After the detection is completed, the buckle 6 can be pressed down to unlock it, which is more efficient.

[0021] like Figure 1 to Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a spring pull pin 9 is further provided at the other end of the carrier plate 1, and the spring pull pin 9 and the push-pull block 21 are connected by a second spring 10. It can be seen that the second spring 10 provides the functions of pressing buffer and unlocking automatic recovery.

[0022] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, in this embodiment, the side push module 5 includes a Y-axis slide rail 51 and a sliding block 52, the Y-axis slide rail 51 is arranged on the other side of the carrier 1, the sliding block 52 is connected to the movable end of the Y-axis slide rail 51, the sliding block 52 is provided with an inclined groove 53, the push-pull block 21 is provided with a roller 24 on the side corresponding to the sliding block 52, the carrier 1 is provided with a side push baffle 11 on the side adjacent to the sliding block 52, and a third spring 12 is provided between the side of the sliding block 52 and the side push baffle 11, and the third spring 12 drives the inclined groove 53 on the sliding block 52 to cooperate with the roller 24. It can be seen that the directions of the Y-axis slide rail 51 and the X-axis slide rail 22 are perpendicular to each other, and the sliding block 52 slides synchronously with the fixed module 2 through the inclined groove 53 on the sliding block 52, and the third spring 12 provides a lateral driving force.

[0023] like Figures 1 to 5 As shown, in this embodiment, a limit rod 54 is provided at the end of the sliding block 52, and the third spring 12 drives the limit rod 54 to cooperate with the end of the flexible flat cable product. It can be seen that the end of the limit rod 54 is adapted to the end of the flexible flat cable product, and is pushed sideways during the pressing process to ensure that the connector end of the flexible flat cable product corresponds to the connector limit groove 4.

[0024] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the limiting end of the carrier plate 1 is provided with a side push limiting block 13, and the side push limiting block 13 is limitedly matched with the limiting rod 54. It can be seen that the side push limiting block 13 limits the movement stroke of the side push module 5, preventing the limiting rod 54 from being over-pressed to cause the connector end of the flexible flat cable product and the connector limiting groove 4 to be inaccurately positioned.

[0025] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the carrier 1 is provided with a plurality of position limiting guide sleeves 14, and the plurality of position limiting guide sleeves 14 cooperate with an external detection machine or an external transmission module.

It can be seen that before the limit block 23 presses the connector end of the flexible flat cable product, the clamping block 25 pre-presses the flexible flat cable product to prevent the flexible flat cable product from falling off during the pressing process.

[0027] The working principle of the utility model is as follows: the flexible flat cable product is placed vertically between the connector limit block 3 and the fixing module 2, and the connector end of the flexible flat cable product is connected to the connector limit groove 4 to achieve preliminary positioning, the push-pull block 21 is driven to make the limit block 23 move in the direction of the flexible flat cable product, the third spring 12 drives the sliding block 52 to push sideways synchronously, the clamping block 25 is pre-pressed with the main body of the flexible flat cable product, the limit end of the limit block 23 contacts with the connector end of the flexible flat cable product and fixes it on the connector limit groove 4, to achieve multi-directional positioning and flexible flat cable fixation, the buckle 6 cooperates with the buckle seat 7 to achieve locking, the carrier board 1 is transferred to the inspection station for inspection, after the inspection is completed, the buckle 6 is pressed down to unlock, the second spring 10 provides a restoring force to restore the push-pull block 21 and the sliding block 52 to their initial positions, the flexible flat cable product to be inspected is replaced, and the above steps are repeated to complete the vertical positioning and pressing and fixing of the flexible flat cable connector.

[0028] Although the embodiments of the present invention are described with practical solutions, they do not constitute limitations on the meaning of the present invention. For those skilled in the art, it is obvious to modify the implementation scheme and combine it with other solutions based on this description.
