The clamping mechanisms 2 are used to fixedly clamp probe heads of different sizes. A second screw 8 is threadedly connected to the top of the outer wall of the fixed short column 9. A protective sleeve 7 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the second screw 8. The protective sleeve 7 on the outer wall of the fixed short column 9 can increase the contact area with the hand to prevent slipping. A card slot 17 is opened on the top of the probe board 14. A protective shell 6 is clamped and connected inside the card slot 17. The protective shell 6 inside the card slot 17 can protect the probe when the probe board 14 is not in use.

[0033] Referring to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 5, the clamping mechanism 2 includes a first square plate 201, which is installed on the left and right sides of the top of the housing 1. A fixed short rod 202 is rotatably connected to the middle of the first square plate 201. The first square plate 201 plays a fixing role, and the fixed short rod 202 plays a rotating role. Conical gears 207 are fixedly connected to adjacent ends of the fixed short rod 202, which play a role in rotational meshing. A plurality of second square plates 208 are fixedly connected to the top of the housing 1 at equal intervals. A threaded long column 203 passes through the middle of the second square plate 208. The second square plate 208 plays a role in fixing the threaded long column 203. Conical gears 209 are fixedly connected to the rear ends of the outer walls of the threaded long columns 203. The conical gears 209 are meshed with the conical gears 207, which play a rotating role. A long plate 206 is threadedly connected to the outer wall of the threaded long column 203.

A screw 12 is threadedly connected to the middle of the warning sign 13;

[0035] Working principle: When the tip of the probe is damaged, by pulling the fixed short columns 9 on the front and rear sides of the outer wall of the housing 1, while the fixed short columns 9 are being pulled, they will drive the front semi-circular plate 20 to squeeze the springs 18 on the rear sides of the outer walls of the semi-circular plates 20, contracting the springs 18. Thus, the sawteeth 21 on the outer walls of the semi-circular plates 20 are separated from the tooth grooves 15 on the outer walls of the fixed columns 16 at the bottom of the probe plate 14, and the probe head is removed for replacement and repair. When the replacement is completed, the probe head is installed on the probe plate 14 and then the fixed short columns 9 are released. The springs 18 contract the two semi-circular plates 20 inward, and the sawteeth 21 are engaged with the tooth grooves 15 of the fixed columns 16 for clamping and fixing. Thus, the effect of quickly replacing and installing the tip when the tip of the probe is damaged is achieved;

[0036] First, rotate the fixed short rod 202 in the middle of the square plate 201 on the left side of the top of the housing 1. Through the bevel gear 207 fixedly connected to the right end of the fixed short rod 202, it meshes and rotates with the bevel gear 209 in the middle of the threaded long column 203 at the back of the square plate 208 on the left side of the top of the housing 1. When the threaded long column 203 rotates, it will drive the long plate 206 on the outer wall to fix the probe. Finally, rotate the fixed short rod 202 on the right side, and the long hollow plate 204 on the long plate 206 on the outer wall of the threaded long column 203 on the right side slides and fixes on the outer wall of the fixed needle, thus achieving the effect of being able to fix probes of different sizes.

[0037] Finally, it should be noted that the above are only the preferred embodiments of the present invention and are not used to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, for those skilled in the art, they can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or perform equivalent replacements for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent replacements, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
