Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of circuit board testing tooling, in particular to a multi-core testing fixture for PCB. Background Technique

[0002] The printed circuit board, namely PCB, as an indispensable part of electronic devices, its quality directly affects the performance and stability of the entire electronic system; to ensure the reliability of PCB products, comprehensive tests need to be carried out during and after the production process.

[0003] Among them, the evaluation of electrical performance is the core link of the test, which mainly includes the following steps: using a multimeter or special test equipment to conduct on-off tests on each circuit on the PCB to ensure that the circuit connections are correct; then, by applying different voltages and currents, testing the voltage withstand and current withstand capabilities of the PCB; finally, using equipment such as an oscilloscope to collect and analyze the signals on the PCB, and evaluating signal stability, accuracy and other indicators.

[0004] In the above-mentioned test link of electrical performance evaluation, in order to properly position the PCB, a PCB test tooling is usually required. The PCB test tooling is a tool or equipment designed specifically for PCB testing. It is mainly used to verify the electrical performance, functional integrity and mechanical strength of the PCB board to ensure the quality and reliability of the PCB during production and use. The test tooling can improve the test efficiency, ensure product quality and reliability, and provide strong support for electronic manufacturing and research and development.

[0005] Based on this, Chinese Patent CN206497181U discloses a PCB test fixture, which includes a base, a bearing platform, a lower pressing plate, a wafer holding plate, a manual crank and a bracket. The bearing platform and the bracket are fixed on the base. The bearing platform is used to carry the PCB board to be tested. The manual crank is mounted on the bracket, and the movable end is fixedly connected to the lower pressing plate. The wafer holding plate is fixed below the lower pressing plate. The position of the wafer holding plate corresponds to the position of the PCB board to be tested. A communication card is also provided on the wafer holding plate. This kind of test fixture uses the manual crank to control the lower pressing plate to press down, realizes the short-distance wireless communication between the communication card and the PCB board to be tested, and thus completes the function test of the electronic label; when the lower pressing plate is lifted, the next PCB board to be tested is replaced to realize continuous testing and improve the test efficiency.

[0006] However, the above-disclosed PCB test fixture still has technical problems of insufficient test efficiency and poor versatility. Specifically, in the production test requirements of PCBs, it is usually necessary to detect a batch of PCBs one by one. However, the test tooling disclosed in the prior art can only test one PCB or one position on a PCB each time. After each single test, disassembly and reassembly are required repeatedly, which affects the batch test efficiency requirements. In addition, there are a wide variety of PCBs produced by each manufacturer. The test tooling disclosed in the existing patents is a single customized tooling, and different models and types of PCBs need to be customized separately to meet the test requirements, which is not conducive to the generalization requirements of the tooling fixture.

[0024] In addition, the terms "first" and "second" are only used for descriptive purposes and cannot be understood as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the quantity of the indicated technical features. Thus, the features defined with "first" and "second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one of such features. In the description of the present utility model, the meaning of "a plurality" is at least two, such as two, three, etc., unless otherwise specifically defined.

[0025] In the present utility model, unless otherwise clearly defined and limited, the terms "mounted", "connected", "connected to", "fixed", etc. should be understood in a broad sense. For example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or integrated; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be directly connected or indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, and it can be the internal communication of two elements or the interaction relationship between two elements, unless otherwise clearly limited.

When an element is considered to be "connected to" another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or there may be an intermediate element at the same time. The terms "vertical", "horizontal", "up", "down", "left", "right" and similar expressions used herein are only for the purpose of illustration and do not represent the only implementation.

[0028] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3 , a PCB multi-core test fixture of the present utility model includes: a base 1, a partitioned control module 2, a partitioned limiting unit 3, a supporting upright frame 4, a plurality of reciprocating driving mechanisms 5 and a plurality of test probe modules 6; the partitioned control module 2 is disposed on the side of the base 1, and the partitioned limiting unit 3 is disposed above the base 1; the supporting upright frame 4 is fixedly disposed above the base 1, and a plurality of the reciprocating driving mechanisms 5 are distributed on the supporting upright frame 4; the test probe module 6 is disposed between the partitioned limiting unit 3 and the reciprocating driving mechanism 5, and each test probe module 6 is correspondingly movably connected to a reciprocating driving mechanism 5, and the partitioned control module 2 is in control connection with the reciprocating driving mechanism 5.

[0029] Specifically, when a PCB multi-core test fixture of the present utility model is in the working process, the user first clamps the PCB to be tested with a corresponding fixture, places the fixture on the partition limiting unit 3, and then controls the corresponding reciprocating driving mechanism 5 to act through the partition control module 2, so that the corresponding reciprocating driving mechanism 5 drives the test probe module 6 to descend until it abuts against the PCB to be tested located on the partition limiting unit 3; thus, with the assistance of an external test device, the performance test of the corresponding area of the PCB is completed. More specifically, a PCB multi-core test fixture of the present utility model proposes a technical solution in which a plurality of reciprocating driving mechanisms 5 are provided to respectively drive a plurality of test probe modules 6 to simultaneously test multiple groups of PCBs, thereby improving the efficiency of batch testing of PCBs. In addition, the test probe module 6 can be conveniently disassembled and assembled from the reciprocating driving mechanism 5, and the provided partition limiting unit 3 can also be adapted to different PCB clamping fixtures; when testing different models of PCBs, it is only necessary to correspondingly pair the test probe module 6 with a clamping tool adapted to the partition limiting unit 3, and the overall structure of the test fixture does not need to be redesigned and developed, thereby improving the versatility of the PCB test fixture.

[0030] Further, each of the reciprocating driving mechanisms 5 is provided with a reciprocating driving cylinder 501, a lifting and mounting portion 502, a stable traction frame 503, and a telescopic connecting rod 504; the reciprocating driving cylinder 501 is fixedly connected to the supporting vertical frame 4, the lifting and mounting portion 502 is movably arranged between the partition limiting unit 3 and the supporting vertical frame 4, and the stable traction frame 503 is respectively connected to the supporting vertical frame 4 and the lifting and mounting portion 502; the telescopic connecting rod 504 is arranged between the stable traction frame 503 and the lifting and mounting portion 502, the telescopic connecting rod 504 is respectively connected to the lifting and mounting portion 502 and the reciprocating driving cylinder 501, and the partition control module 2 is correspondingly connected to the reciprocating driving cylinder 501 for control.

[0032] More specifically, after the reciprocating drive cylinder 501 is activated, it can drive the telescopic connecting rod 504 to extend or contract, thereby driving the lifting and mounting part 502 to move downward or upward. When the lifting and mounting part 502 moves, the stable traction frame 503 can traction the movement of the lifting and mounting part 502 to improve the stability of the lifting and mounting part 502 during the lifting movement.

[0035] Furthermore, the lifting and mounting part 502 has a lifting connection plate 502a and a clamping chute structure 502b; the top of the lifting connection plate 502a is respectively connected to the stable traction frame 503 and the telescopic connecting rod 504; the bottom of the lifting connection plate 502a is provided with a clamping chute structure 502b, and the probe carrier substrate 601 is movably connected in a matching manner with the clamping chute structure 502b, and the sliding limit structure 602 is movably abutted against the end face of the clamping chute structure 502b.

[0036] Specifically, the user can slidably and clampingly connect the corresponding probe carrier substrate 601 to be used this time into the clamping chute structure 502b provided at the bottom of the lifting connection plate 502a. After the sliding is in place, the sliding limit structure 602 can abut against the end face of the clamping chute structure 502b to prevent the probe carrier substrate 601 from sliding beyond the preset range.

Specifically, a multi-core test fixture for PCB of the present utility model proposes a technical solution in which a plurality of reciprocating driving mechanisms 5 are provided to respectively drive a plurality of test probe modules 6 to simultaneously test multiple groups of PCBs, thereby improving the efficiency of batch testing of PCBs. In addition, the test probe module 6 can be conveniently disassembled and assembled from the reciprocating driving mechanism 5, and the provided partitioned limiting unit 3 can also be adapted to different PCB clamping fixtures; when testing different models of PCBs, it is only necessary to correspondingly pair the test probe module 6 with the clamping tool adapted to the partitioned limiting unit 3, and the overall structure of the test fixture does not need to be redesigned and developed. Thus, the versatility of the PCB test fixture is improved. Therefore, a multi-core test fixture for PCB of the present utility model solves the technical problems of how to improve the test efficiency of PCBs and the versatility of PCB test tooling.
