Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of thermal conductivity testing of thermal conductive interface materials of optical modules, in particular to a testing fixture for thermal conductive interface materials of optical modules. Background Art

[0002] In the optical module, there is a very fine uneven gap between the surface of the heating element and the heat dissipation element. If they are directly installed, the actual contact area is only 10% of the bottom area of ​​the heat dissipation element, and the rest is air gap, which leads to a very large contact thermal resistance between the heating element and the heat dissipation element, seriously hindering the heat conduction of the heating device, and finally causing the component to fail. Thermal conductive interface materials are widely used in the thermal management design of optical modules. Thermal conductive interface materials are used to fill the gap between the heating element and the heat dissipation shell, remove the air in it, establish an efficient heat conduction channel, greatly reduce the contact thermal resistance, and maximize the heat conduction of the heating element, ensuring that the optical module will not fail due to excessive temperature.

[0003] For example, the utility model with application number 202321296445.X discloses a test fixture for the thermal conductivity of the thermal interface material of an optical module. By setting a heating table 1, a simulated heat source 2 and a simulated tube shell 4, the interface material to be tested is set between the heating table 1 and the simulated tube shell 4, so that the test environment is closer to the actual application environment of the thermal interface material in the optical module; by setting two thermal sensors, the temperature difference between the two thermal sensors is read to compare the thermal conductivity of the thermal interface material of the same specification, so that the test results are more accurate, the test is rapid and quick, and the results are intuitive and clear.

[0004] Similar to the above application, there are still some shortcomings:

[0005] This kind of test fixture for the thermal conductivity of optical module thermal interface materials has poor fixing and clamping effect for the detection of thermal conductivity of different optical module thermal interface materials, and can only test the thermal conductivity of one optical module thermal interface material in a targeted manner. The detection range is small, and the contact surface between the detection head and the tested optical module thermal interface material is uneven and unstable, which may lead to reduced accuracy of the test results.

[0006] Therefore, a test fixture for the thermal conductivity of the thermal interface material of an optical module is designed to optimize the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0008] The purpose of the utility model can be achieved by adopting the following technical solutions:

[0009] A test fixture for the thermal conductivity of a thermal interface material of an optical module comprises a fixed plate, a side plate is fixed to one side of the fixed plate, a top plate is fixed to the top of the side plate, a screw is installed through the top plate, a pressure plate is rotatably installed at the bottom of the screw, limit rods are provided at the four corners of the pressure plate, limit holes are slidably installed inside the limit rods, mounting holes are evenly provided on the screw, movable rods are connected through the inside of the mounting holes, and the movable rods are slidably connected to the mounting holes, a fixing ring is fixed to the outside of the movable rod, a spring is fixed to the top of the fixing ring, and the top end of the spring is fixedly connected to the bottom of the pressure plate, and a top block is fixed to the bottom of the movable rod.

[0010] Preferably: a support plate is fixed to the top of one end of the fixing plate away from the side plate, a slot is provided on the top of the support plate, a limiting slot is provided at the bottom of the slot, and a retaining bar is evenly annularly arranged inside the limiting slot.

[0011] Preferably: a fixing pad is fixed to the bottom of the fixing plate, grooves are evenly formed at the bottom of the fixing pad, a through hole is formed at the top of the groove, and the top of the through hole extends to the top of the fixing plate, and a fixing plug is provided inside the through hole.

[0012] Preferably, a fixing block is fixed on the outer side of the fixing plug, and the fixing block is an anti-slip fixing block.

[0013] Preferably, a rotating handle is arranged at the top end of the screw rod, and anti-slip patterns are evenly arranged on the rotating handle.

[0014] Preferably, the baffles are all trapezoidal blocks, and the baffles are all rubber trapezoidal blocks.

[0015] The beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0016] The utility model provides a test fixture for the thermal conductivity of the thermal interface material of an optical module. Through the coordinated use of a fixed plate, a side plate, a top plate, a screw, a pressure plate, a limit rod, a limit hole, a mounting hole, a movable rod, a fixed ring, a spring and a top block, the upper and lower positions of the top block are automatically adjusted according to the flatness of the material, so that each part of the material is squeezed and fixed by the top block, and the contact between the material and the test head is more uniform, thereby improving the test accuracy of the fixture for the thermal conductivity of the thermal interface material of the optical module;

[0017] By using the supporting plate, the card slot, the limit slot and the baffle, the probe connection line used for testing is passed through the card slot and clamped inside the limit slot. The baffle is used to limit and fix the outer side of the connection line of the test head, thereby maintaining the stability of the test head and preventing the movement of the test head during the placement of the thermal conductive material, thereby improving the practicality of the fixture for the thermal conductivity of the thermal conductive interface material of the optical module;

[0018] By using the fixing pad, the groove, the through hole and the fixing plug in coordination, after placing the fixing plate on the desktop, the fixing ring is pressed down so that the air in the groove at the bottom of the fixing plate is discharged upward through the through hole, so that negative pressure is formed inside the groove and the plate is tightly adsorbed on the desktop, and then the fixing plug is blocked inside the through hole. When moving the fixing plate, the fixing plug is taken out of the through hole, so that the air quickly enters the groove, thereby facilitating and quickly lifting and moving the fixing plate, thereby improving the convenience of use.
