Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model belongs to the technical field of probe development, and in particular relates to an integrated probe structure. Background Art

[0002] At present, the diameter of traditional probes is usually around 0.05mm. Before using the probe to test the PCB board, it is necessary to first make a fixture, drill the corresponding mounting holes on the fixture, and then install the probe into the mounting holes before testing.

[0003] Since the probe diameter is small and the number of mounting holes to be processed corresponds to the number of probes required for the test, in order to ensure that the probe can detect the PAD point of the PCB, the processing distance between the mounting holes is very close, which makes it difficult to process the mounting holes on the fixture and requires high processing accuracy; in order to process qualified mounting holes, it is necessary to use expensive Japanese or German drilling rigs to process the fixture, resulting in high processing costs; and when installing traditional probes, the installation requirements for the staff are high. If the installation is not in place, the probe is easy to move when testing the PAD point of the PCB, resulting in inaccurate test results. In addition, the traditional probe is not rigid enough, resulting in few uses and a short life. Therefore, an integrated probe structure is designed to solve the above problems.

[0004] It should be noted that the above introduction to the technical background is only for the convenience of providing a clear and complete description of the technical solutions of the utility model and for the convenience of understanding by those skilled in the art. It cannot be considered that the above technical solutions are well known to those skilled in the art simply because these solutions are described in the background technology section of the utility model. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned deficiencies in the prior art, the purpose of the present utility model is to provide an integrated probe structure.

[0006] In order to achieve the above objectives and other related objectives, the technical solution provided by the utility model is: an integrated probe structure, comprising:

[0007] The probe body comprises a mounting section and a test end and a connection end respectively arranged at two ends thereof; the outer surface of the mounting section is provided with an insulating layer; the test end is a needle end for connecting to the detection end; the connection end is a round end for connecting to the system end;

[0008] An installation sleeve, wherein the installation sleeve is sleeved on the outside of at least two of the probe body structures, and an insulating filling structure is provided between the probe bodies; an insulating coating is provided on the outer surface of the installation sleeve;

[0009] The installation section is located inside the installation sleeve, and the test end and the connection end are both arranged to extend out of the installation sleeve.

[0010] In this solution, the probe body is integrated into the mounting sleeve for use, which increases the strength of the probe structure, enhances the rigidity, and extends the service life of the probe body; at the same time, it reduces the processing of the mounting holes on the corresponding fixture, reduces the number of drilling holes, improves efficiency, and also allows the diameter of the mounting holes to be processed larger, thereby improving processing accuracy.

[0011] Furthermore, the center line of the mounting sleeve is arranged parallel to the center line of the probe body. In this solution, the straightness of the integrated probe structure is ensured so that it can be better mounted with the corresponding mounting hole on the fixture.

[0012] Furthermore, the two ends of each probe body are arranged flush. In this solution, the two ends of each probe body are arranged flush, so that the test end and the connection end of each probe body can be connected stably to ensure the test accuracy.

[0013] Furthermore, the connecting end extends out of the installation sleeve by a length of 0.8 mm to 1.2 mm. In this solution, the connecting end extends out by a length of 0.8 mm, 1 mm or 1.2 mm, preferably 1 mm, to facilitate docking of the connecting end with the test system end.

[0014] Furthermore, the length of the test end extending from the mounting sleeve is 0.8 mm to 1.2 mm. In this solution, the test end extends by 0.8 mm, 1 mm or 1.2 mm, preferably 1 mm, so that the test end can be easily connected to the position to be tested.

[0015] Furthermore, the distance between the center lines of the probe bodies is 0.07 mm to 0.09 mm. In this embodiment, the distance between the probe bodies is 0.07 mm, 0.08 mm or 0.09 mm, with 0.08 mm being preferred, so as to facilitate the filling of the insulating filling structure between the probe bodies. The insulating filling structure with sufficient volume can make the integrated probe structure obtain higher rigidity and extend the service life of the probe.

[0016] Furthermore, the insulating filling structure is made of a hard insulating material. In this solution, the use of hardened insulating material filling can ensure the stability of the connection structure between the probe bodies, so that the probe bodies remain parallel, prevent the probe bodies from bending, facilitate installation corresponding to the mounting holes on the fixture, and extend the service life of the probe structure.

[0017] Furthermore, the material of the mounting sleeve is an alloy material. In this solution, the mounting sleeve is made of an alloy material, which ensures the hardness of the mounting sleeve, so that the integrated probe structure inside the mounting sleeve maintains structural stability and prolongs the service life; it is also convenient to install it corresponding to the mounting hole on the fixture.

[0018] Due to the application of the above technical solution, the utility model has the following beneficial effects compared with the prior art:

[0019] The integrated probe structure designed by the utility model integrates the probe body into the installation sleeve for use, so that the strength of the probe structure is increased, the rigidity is enhanced, and the service life of the probe body is extended; at the same time, the processing difficulty of the mounting holes on the corresponding fixture is reduced, the number of drilling holes is reduced, the fixture production is simpler and more convenient, and the scrap rate is low; moreover, the installation difficulty is reduced, the installation requirements for personnel are low, the requirements for equipment for fixture production are also reduced, and the overall processing cost is reduced; in addition, the diameter of the mounting hole can be processed relatively larger, which is convenient for improving the processing accuracy, and the integrated probe is accurate for testing the PAD point of the PCB without displacement, and the rigidity and service life of the test PCB are greatly improved.
