[0036] In order to explain the technical content and structural features of the present invention in detail, the following is a further description in conjunction with the embodiments and the accompanying drawings.

[0037] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2The present invention provides a test device 100 suitable for testing an electronic device 102. The electronic device 102 includes a variety of mobile terminals such as mobile phones, tablets, and learning machines. When the electronic device 102 is tested, it is wrapped in a protective cover, which can effectively protect the electronic device 102 without affecting the test. The test device 100 includes a conveying device 10, a material picking device 40, a first test device 20, and a second test device 30 arranged on a rack 101. The conveying device 10 includes a conveying mechanism 11 for conveying the electronic device 102. The conveying mechanism 11 includes two conveying rails 111 for conveying the electronic device 102. The material picking device 40 is movably arranged on the rack 101 for taking and placing the electronic device 102. A plurality of first test devices 20 are distributed on the rack 101 to form a plurality of test areas. The plurality of test areas include a current test area 202 for current testing and an OTG test area 201 for OTG testing. It may also include a voltage test area or other electrical test areas. The second test device 30 is used for TF card testing of the electronic device 102. The second test device 30 includes a lifting and unloading mechanism 31, a test board connection mechanism 32 and a TF card test plug-in mechanism 33. Among them, the lifting and unloading mechanism 31 is arranged between the two conveying tracks 111 of the conveying mechanism 11 in a lifting manner, and is used to place the electronic device 102 so that the TF card test can be performed. The test board connection mechanism 32 is movably arranged on the rack 101 and can be electrically connected to the electronic device 102. The TF card test plug-in mechanism 33 is movably arranged on one side of the conveying mechanism 11, and the TF card test plug-in mechanism 33 can be used for TF card testing of the electronic device 102. Compared with the prior art, the test device 100 of the present invention can perform electrical tests such as current testing, OTG testing and TF card testing on the electronic device 102 on one device at the same time, and can automatically load and unload materials without missing tests or repeated tests. It has a high degree of automation and greatly improves efficiency.

[0038] See also Figures 5 to 7In some optional embodiments, the lifting and unloading mechanism 31 is disposed between the two conveyor rails 111. The lifting and unloading mechanism 31 includes a lifting assembly 312 and a unloading assembly 311, with the unloading assembly 311 disposed on the lifting assembly 312. The lifting assembly 312 operates to drive the unloading assembly 311 to move up and down between the two conveyor rails 111. It is understood that after the electronic devices 102 undergo TF card testing on the unloading assembly 311, qualified electronic devices 102 continue to be transported along the conveyor rails 111 to subsequent processes, while unqualified electronic devices 102 are unloaded from the NG transfer mechanism 13 via the retrieving device 40. Specifically, the lifting assembly 312 lifts the unloading assembly 311 to enable the electronic devices 102 on the unloading assembly 311 to undergo positioning testing. After the test is completed, the lifting assembly 312 drives the unloading assembly 311 to descend below the conveyor rails 111.

Exemplarily, the base 321 can be installed on the slide rail assembly, and then the base 321 is driven by a cylinder to slide along the slide rail assembly, so that the transfer test assembly 322 can be plugged into the electronic device 102 and electrically connected to the electronic device 102.

[0040] See also Figure 7 In some optional embodiments, a TF card test and plug-in mechanism 33 is provided on one side of the lifting and unloading mechanism 31. Specifically, the TF card test and plug-in mechanism 33 includes a TF card test component 331 and a pushing component 332. The TF card test component 331 is provided at the output end of the pushing component 332. The pushing component 332 moves to drive the TF card test component 331 to be plugged into the electronic device 102. It can be understood that after the electronic device 102 is firmly placed on the unloading component 311, the pushing component 332 drives the TF card test component 331 to be plugged into the corresponding position of the electronic device 102 to perform a TF card test. Among them, the pushing component 332 can ensure the pushing stroke and pushing pressure of the TF card test component 331 to prevent damage to the TF card test component 331 or the electronic device 102.

The electronic device 102 is then placed in the OTG test area 201. The electronic device 102 that passes the test is picked up from the OTG test area 201 by the material picking mechanism 43 and placed in the current test area 202. The electronic device 102 that passes the test in the current test area 202 is placed by the material picking mechanism 43 on the discharge assembly 311 of the second test device 30 for TF card testing. The electronic device 102 that passes the TF card test is transferred to the next process via the conveying mechanism 11.

Specifically, the transverse moving mechanism 41 and the longitudinal moving mechanism 42 enable the picking mechanism 43 to pick up the electronic device 102 on the conveying mechanism 11 and place it in the OTG test area 201 for OTG testing, and then place the qualified electronic device 102 in the current test area 202 for current testing, and then place the qualified electronic device 102 in the second testing device 30 for TF card testing. The unqualified electronic devices 102 detected during the test are all picked up by the picking mechanism 43 and placed in the NG transfer mechanism 13 for unloading. The material picking mechanism 43 includes a gripper power assembly 431 and a gripper assembly 432. The gripper power assembly 431 operates to drive the gripper assembly 432 to grip the electronic device 102. The specific number of the gripper power assembly 431 and the gripper assembly 432 is also set according to actual use requirements.

[0046] like Figures 1 to 8As shown, the test equipment 100 of the present invention can be used to test a variety of electronic devices 102. The test equipment 100 includes a conveying device 10, a material picking device 40, a first test device 20 and a second test device 30 arranged on a rack 101.

The material picking device 40 is movably arranged on the rack 101 for taking and placing electronic devices 102. The first test device 20 is distributed on the rack 101 to form a plurality of test areas for electrical testing. The second test device 30 is used for TF card testing of electronic devices 102. The second test device 30 includes a lifting and unloading mechanism 31, a test board connection mechanism 32 and a TF card test plug-in mechanism 33. Specifically, the electronic device 102 is transported via the conveying mechanism 11, and the picking mechanism 43 picks up the electronic device 102 on the lifting and positioning mechanism 12 in the conveying mechanism 11. Then, the electronic device 102 first undergoes an OTG test in the OTG test area 201. The OTG test area 201 includes multiple first test devices 20, each of which can perform an OTG test on one electronic device 102 at a time. The picking mechanism 43 fills the OTG test area 201 with multiple electronic devices 102 according to a certain rule, and then the electronic devices 102 that have passed the test are picked up from the OTG test area 201 by the picking mechanism 43 and placed in the current test area 202. The electronic devices 102 that have passed the test in the current test area 202 are placed by the picking mechanism 43 on the discharge assembly 311 of the second test device 30 for TF card testing.
