[0019] In order to better understand the purpose, structure and function of the present invention, the following is a further detailed description of a specific embodiment of the present invention "a universal test fixture" in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0020] See also Figure 1 and Figure 2In this embodiment, the universal test fixture includes a base 100, on which a lower fixture 101 is detachably fixed. An upper fixture 200 is disposed directly above the base 100. The upper fixture 200 can be moved up / down to approach / move away from the lower fixture 101 to complete the test action. The upper fixture 200 includes a fixed plate 201 and a magnetic plate 202 arranged in upper and lower positions. The magnetic plate 202 is detachably fixed to the fixed plate 201, and a plurality of magnetic probes 203 are magnetically fixed to the bottom surface of the magnetic plate 202. When it is necessary to test a different model of product, only the corresponding lower fixture 101 needs to be remade. The operator replaces the remade lower fixture 101 with the base 100, and then moves the magnetic probes 203 on the magnetic plate 202 of the upper fixture 200 to the corresponding position according to the point to be tested on the lower fixture 101, and then the electrical performance test of the new product can be carried out. The entire process only requires redesigning and replacing the lower fixture 101 with a simple structure, and does not require replacing the upper fixture 200 with a relatively more complex structure, which can reduce test costs and improve test efficiency.

[0021] More specifically, in this embodiment, in order to further save costs, the fixing plate 201 is made of plastic material, and the magnetic plate 202 is made of stainless steel material.

[0022] See further Figure 1 In this embodiment, a buffer connecting plate 204 is provided between the fixed plate 201 and the magnetic plate 202. The fixed plate 201 is detachably fixedly connected to the buffer connecting plate 204 by screws, and the magnetic plate 202 is detachably fixedly connected to the buffer connecting plate 204 by screws; the buffer connecting plate 204 can not only play the role of detachably fixing the fixed plate 201 and the magnetic plate 202, but also the buffer connecting plate 204 can serve as a consumable material to play a buffering role between the fixed plate 201 and the magnetic plate 202, preventing the connection between the fixed plate 201 and the magnetic plate 202 from being damaged due to fatigue during repeated testing and requiring frequent replacement; at the same time, in order to reduce costs, the buffer connecting plate 204 is preferably made of plastic material.

[0023] See further Figure 2 In this embodiment, the magnetic probe 203 includes an upper fixing base 2031 and a lower fixing base 2032. The upper fixing base 2031 and the lower fixing base 2032 are fixedly connected by a stud 2033 to form a "mouth" structure. A test probe 2034 is provided at the axial position of the upper fixing base 2031. The test probe 2034 extends downward and passes through the axial center of the lower fixing base 2032; a magnetic component 2035 is provided on the upper fixing base 2031. The magnetic component 2035 is preferably a magnetic screw. The upper surface of the magnetic component 2035 is flush with the upper surface of the upper fixing base 2031, so that it can be stably adsorbed on the bottom surface of the magnetic plate 202.

[0024] More specifically, in this embodiment, the test probe 2034 is electrically connected to the central controller through a cable 2036. The cable 2036 is wound and fixed on the stud 2033. The cable 2036 uses a magnetic cable 2036. The cable 2036 extending out of the magnetic probe 203 can be adsorbed and fixed on the bottom surface of the magnetic plate 202. In this way, there will be no interference between the cables 2036, which facilitates the movement and magnetic fixation of the magnetic probe 203.

[0025] It is understood that the present invention is described by way of certain embodiments, and those skilled in the art will appreciate that various changes or equivalent substitutions may be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Furthermore, under the guidance of the present invention, these features and embodiments may be modified to suit specific circumstances and materials without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed herein, and all embodiments falling within the scope of the claims of this application are intended to be protected by the present invention.
