The terms used in this specification in the specification of the present invention are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit the present invention.

[0031] In addition, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of the present application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0032] The preferred implementation of the utility model is now further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. Figures 1 to 3As shown, the split elastic double-action test probe comprises a first tube body 100, a limiting ring 110 is arranged inside the first tube body 100, the limiting ring 110 is coaxially sleeved and fixed with the first tube body 100, the first probe 200 is arranged at one end of the first tube body 100, the side wall of the first probe 200 is formed with an annular first protrusion 210 outwardly, and a first spring 300 is arranged between the first protrusion 210 and the ring wall of the limiting ring 110. When the first probe 200 contacts an external object and is compressed, since the limiting ring 110 is coaxially sleeved and fixed with the first tube body 100, when the first probe 200 moves inward along the first tube body 100, the distance between the first protrusion 210 and the limiting ring 110 is compressed, thereby causing the first probe 200 to move inwardly. A spring 300 is compressed, so the elastic force of the first probe 200 is only related to the force applied to the first spring 300. A second probe 400 is provided at the other end of the first tube body 100. A second annular protrusion 410 is formed outwardly on the side wall of the second probe 400. A second spring 500 is provided between the second protrusion 410 and the annular wall of the limiting ring 110. When the second probe 400 contacts an external object and is compressed, since the limiting ring 110 is coaxially sleeved and fixed with the first tube body 100, when the second probe 400 moves inward along the first tube body 100, the distance between the second protrusion 410 and the limiting ring 110 is compressed, thereby causing the second spring 500 to be compressed. Therefore, the elastic force of the second probe 400 is only related to the force applied to the second spring 500. The present application adopts a structure that separates the elastic force, and separates the elastic force of the first probe 200 and the second probe 400 through a spring and a limit ring 110, so that the end contacting the product can use one elastic force, which is more convenient for contact testing, and the end contacting the PCB uses another elastic force, which is more conducive to protecting the PCB board, can reduce the loss of the PCB part, and make the life of PCB products longer. The design steps are simple and cost-saving. Its implementation can greatly reduce the labor intensity of workers and reduce the labor cost of enterprises, and it is more convenient and quick to use.

[0033] On the basis of the above embodiments, Figures 1 to 3 As shown, the needle body of the first probe 200 passes through the inner side of the first spring 300 and the limiting ring 110, that is, the first spring 300 and the limiting ring 110 are sleeved on the needle body of the first probe 200. In this way, when the elastic force of the first spring 300 is relatively large, the first probe 200 contacts an external object and is compressed, resulting in the first spring 300 being compressed, which can form a guide for the compression path of the first probe 200.

[0034] On the basis of the above embodiments, Figures 1 to 3As shown, a convergence portion 120 is provided at both ends of the first tube body 100 , and the convergence portion 120 limits the first protrusion 210 and the second protrusion 410 within the first tube body 100 .

[0035] Based on the above embodiment, the present application also discloses a second embodiment, combining Figures 4 to 6 As shown, compared with the first embodiment, the scheme also includes a second tube body 600, the second tube body 600 is inserted into the first tube body 100 from one end of the first tube body 100, the limiting ring 110 is fixedly arranged in the first tube body 100 and is sleeved and fixed by one end of the second tube body 600, the first spring 300 is arranged between the first protrusion 210 and the tube wall of the second tube body 600, when the first probe 200 contacts the external object and is compressed, the distance between the first protrusion 210 and the second tube body 600 is compressed, thereby causing the first spring 300 to be compressed, so the elastic force of the first probe 200 is only related to the force of the first spring 300, The second probe 400 is arranged at the other end of the first tube body 100 and is sleeved and fixed by the other end of the second tube body 600. A second spring 500 is arranged between the second protrusion 410 and the ring wall of the limiting ring 110. When the second probe 400 contacts an external object and is compressed, since the limiting ring 110 and the first tube body 100 are coaxially sleeved and fixed together, when the second probe 400 moves inward along the first tube body 100, the distance between the second protrusion 410 and the limiting ring 110 is compressed, thereby causing the second spring 500 to be compressed. Therefore, the elastic force of the second probe 400 is only related to the force of the second spring 500. The problem solved by the second embodiment is the same as that of the first embodiment, but in terms of effect, since the first probe 200 and the second probe 400 are arranged in different tubes, the mutual influence is smaller during the test, which can further improve the accuracy of the test.

[0036] On the basis of the above embodiments, Figures 4 to 6 As shown, the needle body of the first probe 200 passes through the first spring 300 and is inserted into the inner side of the limiting ring 110 in the second tube 600, that is, the first spring 300 and the limiting ring 110 are sleeved on the needle body of the first probe 200. In this way, when the elastic force of the first spring 300 is relatively large, the first probe 200 contacts an external object and is compressed, resulting in the first spring 300 being compressed, which can form a guide for the compression path of the first probe 200.

[0037] On the basis of the above embodiments, Figures 4 to 6As shown, a converging portion 120 is provided at both ends of the first tube body 100 and the second tube body 600 , and the converging portion 120 limits the first protruding portion 210 within the first tube body 100 , and limits the second protruding portion 410 and the limiting ring 110 within the second tube body 600 .

[0038] Based on the above two embodiments, Figures 7 to 9 As shown, the present application also discloses a third embodiment. Compared with the first embodiment, the limiting ring 110 is replaced by a limiting tube 130 in this embodiment. Specifically, a limiting tube 130 is arranged inside the first tube body 100, and the limiting tube 130 is coaxially sleeved and fixed with the first tube body 100. The first probe 200 is arranged at one end of the first tube body 100, and a first annular protrusion 210 is formed outwardly on the side wall of the first probe 200. A first spring 300 is arranged between the first protrusion 210 and the tube wall of the limiting tube 130. When the first probe 200 contacts an external object and is compressed, the distance between the first protrusion 210 and the limiting tube 130 is compressed, thereby causing the first spring 300 to be compressed. , so the elastic force of the first probe 200 is only related to the force of the first spring 300, the other end of the first tube body 100 is provided with a second probe 400, the side wall of the second probe 400 is formed with an annular second protrusion 410 outwardly, and a second spring 500 is provided between the second protrusion 410 and the first protrusion 210, and the second spring 500 passes through the inner side of the limiting tube 130, when the second probe 400 contacts the external object and is compressed, when the second probe 400 moves inward along the first tube body 100, the distance between the second protrusion 410 and the first protrusion 210 is compressed, thereby causing the second spring 500 to be compressed, so the elastic force of the second probe 400 is only related to the force of the second spring 500. Compared with the first embodiment and the second embodiment, the present embodiment further lengthens the length difference between the first spring 300 and the second spring 500, so that the difference in elastic force between the first probe 200 and the second probe 400 is more obvious.

[0039] Further on the basis of the above embodiment, the needle body of the second probe 400 passes through the inner side of the second spring 500 and the limiting tube 130, that is, the second spring 500 and the limiting tube 130 are sleeved on the needle body of the second probe 400. In this way, when the elastic force of the second spring 500 is relatively large, the second probe 400 contacts an external object and is compressed, causing the second spring 500 to be compressed, thereby forming a guide for the compression path of the second probe 400.

[0040] The above exemplary embodiments are detailed, and the present invention can be implemented in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or basic characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, no matter from which point of view, the embodiments should be regarded as exemplary and non-restrictive, and the scope of the present invention is limited by the appended claims rather than the above description, so it is intended that all changes falling within the meaning and scope of the equivalent elements of the claims are included in the present invention.
