Specific embodiments

[0024] In order to further understand the features, technical means, and specific purposes and functions achieved by the present utility model, the present utility model will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0025] Refer to Figure 1 and Figure 2As shown in the figure, a device for FCT testing of circuit boards includes a test cabinet, in which a control and test module, an execution module, and an input / output module are provided. The control and test module includes: a power supply component for connecting to a power system and accessing power; a test component and a PC component. The test component is connected to the circuit board 100 to be tested through a cable, and the test component is connected to the PC component through a cable. The PC component is used to write test instructions into the test component to perform FCT testing on the circuit board 100 to be tested. The execution module includes: an execution fixture 500 for loading the circuit board 100 to be tested and electrically connecting the cable of the test component to the circuit board 100 to be tested. The input / output module includes: a display component 600 connected to the PC component for testing status and test results; a keyboard and mouse component for operating the PC component; a button component 402 for controlling the action of the execution fixture 500. Since the main function of the execution component is to load the tested circuit board and electrically connect the circuit board 100 to be tested to the test component through a cable, when the model of the circuit board 100 to be tested changes, only the execution component needs to be replaced, and there is no need to modify the entire FCT test device.

[0026] As Figure 1 and Figure 2 shown in the figure, the test cabinet includes an upper cabinet 200, a lower cabinet 300, and a middle cabinet 400 disposed between the upper cabinet 200 and the lower cabinet 300. The front side of the upper cabinet 200 is open. The middle cabinet 400 is provided with a pull-out drawer 401. The lower cabinet 300 is provided with an openable cabinet door. The power supply component, the gas source component, and the PC component are disposed in the lower cabinet 300. The execution fixture 500 and the display component 600 are disposed in the upper cabinet 200. The keyboard and mouse component is disposed in the drawer 401. The button component 402 is disposed on the front side of the middle cabinet 400. The test component is disposed in the execution fixture 500.

[0027] Furthermore, as Figures 3 to 8As shown in the figure, the execution fixture 500 includes: a frame body 501; a bottom plate 502 arranged horizontally; a loading plate 503, installed on the bottom plate 502, provided with a loading groove 5031 that conforms to the outer contour of the circuit board 100 to be tested. The bottom of the loading groove 5031 is provided with a number of test holes corresponding to the test points on the circuit board 100 to be tested; a probe assembly (not shown in the figure), arranged on the back of the loading plate 503 and provided with probes passing through the test holes from the back of the loading plate 503. It should be noted that the bottom plate 502 is also provided with through holes for the probes to pass through, and the specific test assembly is arranged on the back of the bottom plate 502; all probes are electrically connected to the test assembly through cables; a lower pressing plate 504, arranged directly above the loading plate 503. The loading plate 503 is provided with a number of downward-extending pressing columns 506. Each pressing column 506 is coaxially corresponding to a test hole. The function of the pressing column 506 is to ensure that the probe can stably contact the corresponding detection point on the circuit board 100 to be tested; a lower pressing driver 505, installed on the frame body 501, and the lower pressing plate 504 is connected to the output end of the lower pressing driver 505.

[0028] It should be further noted that when the circuit board 100 to be tested changes, it is not necessary to replace the entire execution fixture 500. Only the loading plate 503 and the lower pressing plate 504 need to be replaced, and then the probes are electrically connected to the test assembly through cables according to the number of probes required for testing. Since the test assembly belongs to the prior art in the field of FCT test equipment, it will not be elaborated in the present utility model.

[0029] Furthermore, as Figure 1 shown, the control and test module further includes a gas source assembly. The gas source assembly is used to connect to a compressed gas system and access compressed gas; the lower pressing driver 505 is a cylinder, and the cylinder is connected to the gas source assembly for gas supply.

[0030] The lower pressing driver 505 can also be an electric cylinder, and the electric cylinder is connected to the power supply assembly for power supply.

[0031] As Figure 9 shown, the bottom of the bottom plate 502 is provided with a box body 507 for loading the test assembly, and the upper end of the box body 507 is open. Preferably, the bottom plate 502 is hinged to the box body 507. The test assembly can be directly installed on the back of the bottom plate 502, or it can be placed in the box body 507 without being directly connected to the bottom plate 502. Since the probes in the FCT test equipment are prior art, the structure of the probes will not be elaborated in this application.

[0032] The above embodiments only represent one or several implementation manners of the present utility model. The description is relatively specific and detailed, but it should not be construed as a limitation on the scope of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those of ordinary skill in the art, without departing from the concept of the present utility model, several modifications and improvements can still be made, and these all belong to the protection scope of the present utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of the present utility model shall be subject to the appended claims.
