[0026] See also Figure 1-Figure 3This embodiment provides a test fixture frame, which is divided into three layers: upper, middle and lower. The upper structure includes an upper frame 10, and the lower structure includes a lower frame 20. The space between the upper frame 10 and the lower frame 20 is the middle structure, which is used to place the product to be tested for testing. The upper frame 10 and the lower frame 20 are connected by a nitrogen spring 30 to enable the middle space to be opened for inspection and maintenance.

[0027] The upper frame 10 has a rectangular cross-section and is composed of four side walls, a top wall and a bottom wall, so that there is a closed installation space inside. The top wall and the side walls are connected by a hinge 11, and a hidden handle 12 is provided on the top wall to facilitate opening the upper frame.

[0028] The upper frame 10 is used to place the electronic control part of the entire test fixture. The electronic control part is placed on the top for easy inspection and maintenance. The electronic control part is mainly composed of some electrical control components, such as PLC, IO expansion module and solenoid valve and other structures. Therefore, a wire groove 13 is provided circumferentially along the connection between the bottom wall and the side wall of the upper frame for fixing the wiring harness of the components. Two sets of cooling fans 14 are respectively provided on the opposite side walls for dissipating heat inside the upper frame.

[0029] Since the top wall of the upper frame is in an open state when personnel perform maintenance on the interior of the upper frame, an anti-fool support rod 15 is provided between the top wall and the bottom wall of the upper frame to support the top wall after it is opened, thereby ensuring the personal safety of the operator. After the top wall is closed, it is locked by the provided luggage buckle 16.

[0030] The structure of the lower frame 20 is basically the same as that of the upper frame, and is slightly larger in size than the upper frame. The top wall of the lower frame can also be opened, and nitrogen springs and luggage buckles are also provided between the top wall and the side wall to play a protective role. The interior of the lower frame is mainly used to place test boards and power supplies and other structures. Some switches, start buttons and emergency stop buttons and other structures are installed on the side walls. A wire groove is also circumferentially provided along the connection between the bottom wall and the side wall of the lower frame. In addition, multiple heat dissipation holes 201 are opened on the two side walls of the lower frame.

[0031] A plurality of support plates 21 are arranged at intervals on the lower frame 20, and a rotating rod 17 is provided on the bottom wall of the upper frame 10 along its length direction. The rotating rod 17 is also rotatably connected with the plurality of support plates 21. The nitrogen spring 30 is arranged between the top wall of the lower frame and the bottom wall of the upper frame. A maintenance handle 18 is also provided on the side wall of the upper frame 10 for lifting or lowering the entire upper frame.

[0032] A baffle plate 31 is circumferentially arranged between the top wall of the lower frame and the bottom wall of the upper frame to enclose the middle structure. One side of the baffle plate 31 is open for the entry and exit of the test plate. Safety gratings 32 are respectively arranged on both sides of the opening of the baffle plate 31 to prevent the operator from pinching his hands or other dangerous operations.

[0033] Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the aforementioned embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the aforementioned embodiments, or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features therein. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present invention should be included in the scope of protection of the present invention.
