[0011] Compared with the prior art, the utility model has the following beneficial effects:

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.
[0020] See also Figure 1-4A clamping probe mechanism for first-piece inspection includes a servo electric claw 1, a clamping frame 2 is arranged on the outer surface of the servo electric claw 1, a clamping frame 3 is detachably mounted on the bottom of the servo electric claw 1, a first positioning pin 4 is arranged on the top of the clamping frame 3, a tungsten steel needle 12 is arranged on the inner side of the clamping frame 3 through a lifting mechanism, a mounting frame 14 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the clamping frame 3, and a pressure sensor 15 is arranged on the bottom of the mounting frame 14.
[0021] Through the above technical solution, during use, the device can use the lifting mechanism to make the tungsten steel needle 12 press against the circuit board under the action of the compression spring 9 during the downward movement of the tungsten steel needle 12. In this process, the extrusion force between the pressure sensor 15 and the anti-collision block 13 can be used to accurately control the detection downward pressure of the tungsten steel needle 12.
[0022] Specifically, the lifting mechanism includes a lifting rail 5 fixedly installed on the inner side of the clamping claw frame 3, and a cushion block 6 is slidably connected to the outer surface of the lifting rail 5.
[0023] Through the above technical solution, the lifting rail 5 can drive the cushion block 6 to move up and down, and the tungsten steel needle 12 below can move synchronously therewith.
[0024] Specifically, the top of the cushion block 6 is fixedly connected with a fixing seat 7 , and the outer surface of the cushion block 6 is detachably mounted with a mounting plate 10 .
[0025] Through the above technical solution, the mounting plate 10 can be disassembled and assembled through the second positioning pin 11, and the tungsten steel needle 12 can be replaced together.
[0026] Specifically, a guide shaft 8 is fixedly connected to the top of the inner wall of the clamping jaw frame 3 , and a compression spring 9 is movably sleeved on the outer surface of the guide shaft 8 .
[0027] Through the above technical solution, when the fixing seat 7 moves upward, it will squeeze the compression spring 9, and at the same time, the guide shaft 8 will further penetrate into the fixing seat 7.
[0028] Specifically, a second positioning pin 11 is provided on the cushion block 6 , and the second positioning pin 11 passes through the mounting plate 10 and is connected to the cushion block 6 .
[0029] Through the above technical solution, the second positioning pin 11 is inserted into the cushion block 6 after passing through the mounting plate 10, so that the mounting plate 10 can be quickly installed.
[0030] Specifically, a tungsten steel needle 12 is provided on the mounting plate 10 , and an anti-collision block 13 is fixedly connected to the outer surface of the mounting plate 10 .
[0031] Through the above technical solution, when the tungsten steel needle 12 moves up and down synchronously with the mounting plate 10 , the anti-collision block 13 will also move up and down synchronously. During this process, the anti-collision block 13 can be against the pressure sensor 15 .
[0032] Working principle: During the detection of components on the circuit board, the device connects the servo electric claw 1 to the corresponding position through the clamping frame 2, and detects the inductance, capacitance, resistance and impedance of the components through the probe (i.e. tungsten steel needle 12) under the action of the bridge. During this process, the servo electric claw 1 opens, closes and rotates itself to drive the tungsten steel needle 12 (hereinafter referred to as the probe) below to move, that is, the two groups of probes can rotate in a circle along the bottom of the servo electric claw 1, and the two groups of probes can move away from or close to each other. During the first piece detection, when the probe moves down to contact the components on the circuit board, the pad 6 will move along the lifting rail 5. The surface moves up, thereby linking the fixing seat 7 to move up synchronously, and gradually squeezing the compression spring 9, so that the guide shaft 8 further penetrates into the fixing seat 7. During this process, the anti-collision block 13 will press against the pressure sensor 15 with different forces, so that the force of the probe pressing against the circuit board can be accurately controlled by the pressure sensor 15. The pressure sensor 15 is used to accurately monitor the downward pressure of the probe on the circuit board to ensure that the force is just right during the test process. The downward pressure of the probe is controlled, avoiding the risk of component damage caused by excessive pressure, extending the service life of components, and reducing the cost of maintenance and replacement.
[0033] Although the embodiments of the present application have been shown and described, it will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to the embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present application, and that the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
