Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of PCB testing, in particular to a corrosion-resistant testing probe. Background Art
[0002] A test probe is a test connection electronic component used to test PCBs in electronic testing. The main body of a conventional test probe is assembled from three parts: a needle, a needle tube, and a spring. When the test probe is in use, the loading plate on which the test probe is installed is controlled to descend, and the loading plate drives the test probe to press down and contact the PCB board for testing. At this time, the probe is energized, and the current starts from the measured point to the needle, then to the tube wall and spring, and finally forms a loop through the lower printed circuit board. After long-term use of the test probe, the needle of the test probe will wear out due to the squeeze contact with the PCB board, and the test can only be carried out by replacing it with a new test probe. The test cost is high. At the same time, when the needle of the test probe is worn, the worn position is prone to corrosion, and the test probe can only be replaced with a new one, and the test cost is also high.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0021] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the accompanying drawings in the embodiments of the present invention.
[0022] The utility model provides a technical solution: Figures 1 to 6 As shown, in this embodiment, a corrosion-resistant test probe includes a needle tube 1, a needle head 2 is slidably installed inside the needle tube 1, the needle head 2 and the needle tube 1 can be installed and removed, a connecting spring 3 is installed inside the needle tube 1, a storage box 4 is fixedly installed on the outside of the needle tube 1, and an anode block 5 is installed inside the storage box 4.
[0023] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a top cover 6 is rotatably installed on the top of the storage box 4, a first electrode seat 7 is fixedly installed on the inner surface of the top cover 6, a first wire 8 is installed between the first electrode seat 7 and the needle tube 1, a second electrode seat 9 is fixedly installed on the bottom of the inner wall of the storage box 4, a contact column 10 is installed inside the bottom end of the needle tube 1, the contact column 10 is electrically contacted with the outer wall of the needle 2, and a second wire 11 is installed between the contact column 10 and the second electrode seat 9.
[0024] When the test probe is in use, the test probe will be energized, and the current will pass through the needle tube 1, the first wire 8, the first electrode holder 7, the anode block 5, the second electrode holder 9, the second wire 11, the contact column 10 and the needle 2 to form a closed circuit. The ions in the anode block 5 will be transferred to the needle tube 1 and the needle 2 to form an electronic closed loop, which is used to protect the needle 2 from corrosion and improve the service life of the test probe.
[0025] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a clamping block 12 is fixedly mounted on one side of the top cover 6 , and a clamping slot 13 is provided at a position of the storage box 4 corresponding to the clamping block 12 , and the clamping block 12 is clamped with the clamping slot 13 .
[0026] After the anode block 5 is placed inside the storage box 4, the top cover 6 is rotated and the anode block 5 can be closed by engaging the clamping block 12 with the clamping slot 13, thereby achieving line connection between the first electrode holder 7 and the anode block 5 and between the anode block 5 and the second electrode holder 9.
[0027] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a receiving hole 14 is symmetrically provided on the top of the needle 2, and a positioning column 15 is slidably installed inside the receiving hole 14. An extrusion spring 16 is fixedly installed on one end of the positioning column 15, and a ring 17 is fixedly installed on the end of the extrusion spring 16 away from the positioning column 15. A positioning groove 18 is provided on the inner wall of the bottom end of the needle tube 1 corresponding to the position of the positioning column 15. The positioning groove 18 is slidably connected to the positioning column 15, and a rounded corner 19 is provided on the end of the positioning column 15 away from the extrusion spring 16.
[0028] When the needle 2 is worn out after long-term use, by controlling the needle tube 1 and pulling the needle 2 downward, the rounded corner 19 of the positioning column 15 on the needle 2 will squeeze the bottom end of the positioning groove 18, which will drive the positioning column 15 to be stored in the interior of the receiving hole 14, and the needle 2 can be taken out from the inside of the needle tube 1, and a new needle 2 is aligned with the bottom of the needle tube 1, and the rounded corner 19 of the positioning column 15 on the needle 2 will squeeze the bottom of the needle tube 1, which will drive the positioning column 15 to be stored in the interior of the receiving hole 14. At this time, the extrusion spring 16 is in a compressed state. When the positioning column 15 moves to the positioning groove 18, the extrusion spring 16 squeezes the positioning column 15 to drive the positioning column 15 to be stuck in the interior of the positioning groove 18 for replacing the new needle 2. The needle 2 can be replaced separately without replacing the entire test probe, thereby reducing costs.
[0029] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, the positioning groove 18 is arranged in the shape of a long groove.
[0030] During the test, the needle 2 presses the PCB board, which drives the needle 2 to slide inside the needle tube 1, ensuring that the positioning column 15 is always inside the positioning groove 18.
[0031] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, extrusion rings 20 are fixedly installed at both ends of the connecting spring 3, and the extrusion rings 20 are slidably installed inside the needle tube 1.
[0032] When the needle 2 slides inside the needle tube 1, the extrusion ring 20 contacts the top of the needle 2, thereby preventing the connecting spring 3 and the needle 2 from being squeezed and worn.
[0033] like Figures 1 to 6 As shown, a viewing window 21 is provided on one side of the storage box 4 , and the viewing window 21 is made of transparent plastic material.
[0034] The consumption status of the anode block 5 can be observed through the viewing window 21 .
[0035] The utility model provides a corrosion-resistant test probe, the specific working principle of which is as follows:
[0036] When the device is in use, when the test probe is in use, the test probe will be energized, and the current will pass through the needle tube 1, the first wire 8, the first electrode holder 7, the anode block 5, the second electrode holder 9, the second wire 11, the contact column 10 and the needle 2 to form a closed circuit. The ions in the anode block 5 will be transferred to the needle tube 1 and the needle 2 to form an electronic closed loop for corrosion protection of the needle 2. This is the same as the protection principle of the cathode material by the impressed current method.
[0037] When the needle 2 is worn out after long-term use, by controlling the needle tube 1 and pulling the needle 2 downward, the rounded corner 19 of the positioning column 15 on the needle 2 will squeeze the bottom end of the positioning groove 18, which will drive the positioning column 15 to be stored in the interior of the receiving hole 14, and the needle 2 can be taken out from the inside of the needle tube 1, and a new needle 2 is aligned with the bottom of the needle tube 1, and the rounded corner 19 of the positioning column 15 on the needle 2 will squeeze the bottom of the needle tube 1, which will drive the positioning column 15 to be stored in the interior of the receiving hole 14. At this time, the extrusion spring 16 is in a compressed state. When the positioning column 15 moves to the positioning groove 18, the extrusion of the positioning column 15 by the extrusion spring 16 will drive the positioning column 15 to be stuck in the interior of the positioning groove 18 for replacement of the new needle 2.
[0038] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and variations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, and the scope of the present invention is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
