[0033] It should be noted that, without conflict, the embodiments in the present application and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The present utility model will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings and in combination with the embodiments.

[0034] It should be pointed out that unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in the present application have the same meanings as those commonly understood by those of ordinary skill in the technical field to which the present application belongs.

[0035] In the present utility model, unless otherwise specified, the orientation terms such as "upper, lower, top, bottom" generally refer to the directions shown in the drawings, or to the vertical, perpendicular or gravitational directions of the components themselves; similarly, for the convenience of understanding and description, "inner, outer" refer to the inner and outer of the contours of the respective components themselves, but the above orientation terms are not used to limit the present utility model. Embodiment

[0036] Refer to Figures 1-4 As shown, a novel grounding mechanism includes a fixed block 1 having a first plane S1 and a movable block 2 having a second plane S2. An inner cavity is provided on the fixed block 1, and the movable block 2 is inserted into the inner cavity. When assembled into a finished product, the second plane S2 on the movable block 2 is exposed outside the first plane S1 for contacting the probe. When an external force acts on the movable block 2 (the probe acts on the second plane S2), the second plane S2 moves backward or tilts to one side relative to the first plane S1. At the same time, since a reset assembly for restoring the movable block 2 to its original state is provided on the fixed block 1. Therefore, when the second plane S2 is forced to move backward or tilt to one side, the reset assembly will provide a reverse force to the movable block 2, making the contact of the second plane S2 more stable.

[0037] In this embodiment, the second plane S2 has a strip-like structure, so that it has enough space to contact the probe, improving the application range of the grounding mechanism and enabling it to meet the use requirements of probes with different spacings.

[0038] Furthermore, the reset assembly includes a reset spring 4 and a retaining piece 3. The retaining piece 3 is locked to the fixed block 1 by a screw 5. One end of the reset spring 4 abuts against the retaining piece 3, and the other end of the reset spring 4 abuts against the movable block 2. Enough clearance is left between the retaining piece 3 and the movable block 2, so that the movable block 2 has enough space to tilt or move backward when an external force acts on it.

[0039] In this embodiment, the fixed block 1 is made of a fixed aluminum block, the movable block 2 is made of a movable copper block, and the screw 5 is a stainless steel socket head cap screw.

[0040] Combined with Figure 5 、 Figure 6 As shown, the movable block 2 includes a movable block body 21. Two spring positioning grooves 22 are provided on the back surface of the movable block body 21 for placing the reset spring 4. The two spring positioning grooves 22 are symmetrically distributed along the central axis of the movable block. The front surface of the movable block body 21 has a convex platform 24 protruding outward. The outer side surface of the convex platform 24 is the second plane S2. A positioning block 23 is provided at the upper end of the movable block body 21, and the positioning block 23 is centrally distributed on the movable block body 21. The movable block body 21, the convex platform 24, and the positioning block 23 are an integral structure, that is, the movable block 2 is integrally formed.

[0041] Combined with Figure 7 As shown, the fixed block 1 includes a fixed block body 11. There is a through cavity 12 in the front and rear directions on the fixed block body 11. A stop block 13 is arranged in the cavity 12, and the stop block 13 is located at the upper end of the cavity 12. The movable block 2 is inserted into the cavity below the stop block 13. There is a screw hole 15 on the stop block 13, and correspondingly, a corresponding screw hole is arranged on the retaining piece 3. The screw passes through the screw hole on the retaining piece 3 and is locked in the screw hole 15 to fix the position of the retaining piece 3.

[0042] In this embodiment, the stop block 13 has a limiting effect on the movable block 2. Specifically, a positioning groove 14 is arranged at the lower end of the stop block 13, and the positioning groove 14 corresponds to the positioning block 23 on the movable block. After assembly, the positioning block 23 abuts against the positioning groove 14 under the action of the return spring 4, thereby limiting the farthest distance that the second plane S2 moves outward.

[0043] Preferably, the stop block 13 and the fixed block body 11 are of an integral structure, that is, the fixed block 1 is integrally formed.

[0044] Combined with Figures 8-11 As shown, when the assembled grounding mechanism is in use, the probe acts on the second plane S2, providing an external force on the movable block 2. When the external force acts on the middle position of the movable block 2, the movable block 2 moves backward as a whole. As Figure 8 When not under force, the distance between the second plane S2 and the first plane S1 is H1, and the value of H1 is 1.3 mm. Figure 9 When in the stressed state, the distance between the second plane S2 and the first plane S1 is H2, and the value of H2 is 1.1 mm. It can be seen that in this embodiment, the external force can move the movable block 2 backward as a whole by 0.2 mm.

[0045] As Figure 10 When the external force F1 acts on the left side of the second plane S2, the second plane S2 tilts to the left, and the tilt angle is D1, and the above D1 is 2 degrees. As Figure 11 When the external force F2 acts on the right side of the second plane S2, the second plane S2 tilts to the right, and the tilt angle is D2, and the above D2 is 2 degrees. It can be seen that when the second plane S2 tilts to one side relative to the first plane S1 in the stressed state, there is a yaw of plus or minus 2 degrees between the second plane S2 and the first plane S1.

[0046] In summary, the embodiments of the present utility model achieve the following technical effects:

[0047] A return spring provides buffer support for the movable block, enabling the movable block to have elastic telescopic movement. When an external force probe acts on the second plane of the movable block, the return spring will provide a reaction force for the movable block, enabling full contact between the probe and the movable block, thereby improving the stability of the circuit board blockage test.
