Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of PCB board measurement, in particular to a manual board thickness measuring instrument. Background Art
[0002] PCB gold fingers refer to the metal contact points on a printed circuit board (PCB), usually located at the edge of the circuit board. The function of PCB gold fingers is to ensure a reliable electrical connection with the circuit board through the connecting elements of the gold fingers. Secondly, PCB gold fingers are used to transmit signals and current. They serve as the input and output interfaces of the circuit board, capable of transmitting signals and current from electronic components to the circuit board, and from the circuit board to other electronic components. As input and output interfaces, these metal contact points need to have their thickness controlled. Metal contacts that do not meet the thickness requirements will have poor contact, affecting the signal transmission of components. Therefore, it is extremely important to control the thickness of the metal contacts on the PCB.
[0003] Existing measurement technologies primarily rely on probes for point-to-point measurement. For example, common PCB testing requires the probe to be touched one location at a time. This method operates as follows: the probe is first touched to a specific point on the PCB, then the probe is raised to detect the contact point. The PCB is then moved to the next location for measurement, and this cycle repeats. However, this point-to-point measurement approach has significant drawbacks, primarily in terms of inefficiency and operational complexity, making it unsuitable for large-scale measurement operations.
[0004] For this purpose, a manual plate thickness measuring instrument is proposed. Utility Model Content
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problems raised in the above background technology, and to provide a manual plate thickness measuring instrument.
[0006] In order to achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present invention specifically adopts the following technical solutions:
[0007] A manual plate thickness measuring instrument includes a chassis, a marble reference plane is fixedly installed on the top surface of the chassis, a mounting bracket is fixedly installed on the top surface of the marble reference plane, a position switching mechanism is provided on the front side wall of the mounting bracket, and a pen-shaped stylus is fixedly plugged into the position switching mechanism, a pressing mechanism is fixedly installed on the rear side wall of the mounting bracket, and an L-shaped connecting rod is fixedly provided on the surface of the measuring part of the pen-shaped stylus.
[0008] Furthermore, the position switching mechanism includes a track fixedly mounted on the front side wall of the mounting frame, a quick chuck is slidably mounted on the surface of the track, a mounting plate is fixedly mounted on the lower side wall of the quick chuck, a mounting bracket is fixedly mounted on the front side wall of the mounting plate, and a pen-shaped stylus is fixedly inserted into the inside of the mounting bracket.
[0009] Furthermore, the pressing mechanism includes two groups of cylinders fixedly mounted on the rear side wall of the mounting frame, and a U-shaped frame is fixedly mounted on the bottom ends of the two groups of cylinders, and a pressure head is provided on the surface sliding sleeve of the U-shaped frame.
[0010] Furthermore, the number of the stylus pins and the indenter is the same, and the multiple groups of stylus pins and the indenter are arranged correspondingly, and the L-shaped connecting rod on the surface of the stylus pin is located above the U-shaped frame.
[0011] Furthermore, the pressing portion of the pressure head is made of rubber material.
[0012] Furthermore, when the cylinder drives the U-shaped frame and the pressure head to lift vertically upward, the detection part of the pencil-shaped stylus is synchronously lifted vertically via the L-shaped connecting rod.
[0013] The beneficial effects of the utility model are as follows:
[0014] The PCB is flattened by the downward pressure mechanism. The stylus falls on the metal measuring point of the PCB through the expansion and contraction force of its own spring to measure the thickness value. The stylus can quickly switch its lateral position through the position switching mechanism, realizing rapid measurement of metal contacts with different spacings. The stylus falls through its own gravity and the expansion and contraction force of the internal spring without damaging or bumping the metal contacts. The position switching mechanism ensures that when the stylus is fixed, its verticality will not be affected, and only its left and right movement will be restricted, allowing for rapid adjustment of the lateral position.
[0015] By adopting a stylus and a position switching mechanism, rapid and accurate measurement of PCB thickness is achieved. The stylus, through the cooperation of the downward pressure mechanism and its internal spring, can gently touch the metal measuring points on the PCB to measure the thickness value. At the same time, the position switching mechanism can quickly switch the lateral position, facilitating the measurement of metal contacts at different spacings on the PCB. This design makes the measurement process efficient and convenient, avoiding the inefficiency and operational complexity of traditional point-to-point measurement. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Therefore, they cannot be understood as a limitation on the present invention.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 4As shown, the manual plate thickness measuring instrument includes a chassis 1, a marble reference plane 2 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the chassis 1, a mounting bracket 3 is fixedly installed on the top surface of the marble reference plane 2, a position switching mechanism 4 is provided on the front side wall of the mounting bracket 3, and a pen-shaped probe 5 is fixedly plugged into the position switching mechanism 4, a pressing mechanism 6 is fixedly installed on the rear side wall of the mounting bracket 3, and an L-shaped connecting rod 7 is fixedly provided on the surface of the measuring part of the pen-shaped probe 5. More specifically, when not detecting, the detection portion of the stylus 5 is raised by the pressing mechanism 6 via the L-shaped connecting rod 7. During measurement, the PCB is flattened by the pressing mechanism 6. The stylus 5 falls on the metal measuring point of the PCB through the elastic force of its own spring to measure the thickness value. The stylus 5 can quickly switch its lateral position through the position switching mechanism 4 to achieve rapid measurement of metal contacts with different spacings. The stylus 5 falls due to its own gravity and the elastic force of the internal spring and will not damage or bump the metal contacts. The position switching mechanism 4 ensures that when the stylus 5 is fixed, its verticality will not be affected, and only its left and right movement will be restricted, so that the lateral position can be quickly adjusted.
[0026] The position switching mechanism 4 includes a track 401 fixedly mounted on the front side wall of the mounting frame 3. A quick-action chuck 402 is slidably mounted on the surface of the track 401. A mounting plate 403 is fixedly mounted on the lower side wall of the quick-action chuck 402. A mounting bracket 404 is fixedly mounted on the front side wall of the mounting plate 403. The stylus 5 is fixedly inserted into the interior of the mounting bracket 404. More specifically, the mounting bracket 404 on the front side wall of the mounting plate 403 secures the stylus 5. The quick-action chuck 402 enables the left and right lateral movement of the mounting plate 403. When the quick-action chuck 402 is unlocked, it moves along the surface of the track 401 to adjust the lateral position of the stylus 5. When the quick-action chuck 402 is locked, the left and right lateral positions of the mounting plate 403 and the stylus 5 are limited.
[0027] The downward pressure mechanism 6 comprises two sets of cylinders 601 fixedly mounted on the rear sidewall of the mounting frame 3. A U-shaped frame 602 is fixedly mounted at the bottom end of each set of cylinders 601. A pressing head 603 is slidingly mounted on the surface of the U-shaped frame 602. More specifically, the cylinders 601 drive the U-shaped frame 602 and pressing head 603 to move vertically downward, vertically pressing the PCB on the top surface of the marble reference plane 2. When the measurement is completed, the cylinders 601 drive the U-shaped frame 602 to move vertically upward, thereby vertically lifting the detection portion of the stylus 5, which is driven vertically upward by the L-shaped connecting rod 7.
[0028] The number of stylus probes 5 and indenter 603 is the same, and multiple sets of stylus probes 5 are arranged in a corresponding manner with the indenter 603. Furthermore, the L-shaped connecting rod 7 on the surface of the stylus probe 5 is located above the U-shaped frame 602. More specifically, the multiple sets of stylus probes 5 and indenter 603 are arranged in a corresponding manner, allowing the indenter 603 to vertically press the PCB during testing.
[0029] The pressing portion of the pressure head 603 is made of rubber material. More specifically, the pressure head 603 is made of rubber material, thereby avoiding applying a large pressure to the PCB board.
[0030] When the cylinder 601 drives the U-shaped frame 602 and the indenter 603 to move vertically upward, the detection portion of the stylus 5 is simultaneously lifted vertically via the L-shaped connecting rod 7. More specifically, the cylinder 601 drives the U-shaped frame 602 to move vertically upward, thereby enabling the detection portion of the stylus 5 to be lifted vertically via the L-shaped connecting rod 7.
[0031] In summary: when not testing, the detection part of the stylus 5 is raised by the pressing mechanism 6 via the L-shaped connecting rod 7. During measurement, the PCB is flattened by the pressing mechanism 6. The stylus 5 falls on the metal measuring point of the PCB due to the elastic force of its own spring to measure the thickness. The stylus 5 can quickly switch its lateral position through the position switching mechanism 4 to achieve rapid measurement of metal contacts with different spacings. The stylus 5 falls due to its own gravity and the elastic force of the internal spring and will not damage or bump the metal contacts. The position switching mechanism 4 ensures that when the stylus 5 is fixed, its verticality will not be affected, and only its left and right movement is restricted, so that the lateral position can be quickly adjusted.
