Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of testing devices, and in particular to a Type-C interface product testing device. Background Art

[0002] The Type-C interface is a universal USB connection standard with a symmetrical design, meaning the plug can be inserted in any direction, eliminating the need to worry about the front and back of the plug, greatly improving ease of use. Furthermore, the Type-C interface's smaller connector size makes it suitable for increasingly thinner electronic devices, such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets. To ensure the interoperability and performance of the devices using it, the Type-C interface needs to be tested after production. Test items include physical connection testing, electrical performance testing, and functional testing. Therefore, a test device is required to complete the test by plugging the product's Type-C interface into the device.

[0003] In existing Type-C interface testing devices, the Type-C connector is a fixed connector, fixedly connected to the connector socket. The test device uses a drive component, such as a cylinder, to move the product's Type-C interface and the Type-C connector to mate, thereby performing a connection test. However, due to positional deviations when the product is placed on the test socket, the drive component can cause shaking and jitter during the movement of the test socket. Because the product's Type-C interface and the Type-C connector cannot be accurately connected, the interface can easily shift during insertion, causing damage to the product. This results in low test efficiency and accuracy, necessitating manual testing. Utility Model Content

[0032] like Figure 1 - Figure 6 As shown, the present application provides a Type-C interface product testing device 1, comprising:

[0033] Base 10;

[0034] The test mechanism 20 includes a connection base 21, at least two connection members 22, and at least two elastic members 23. The connection base 21 is used to fix the Type-C connector. The connection member 22 is movably inserted into the base 10. One end of the connection member 22 is connected to the connection base 21, and the other end movably abuts against a side surface of the base 10 facing away from the connection base 21. At least two connection members 22 are spaced apart along the installation direction perpendicular to the connection base 21. An elastic member 23 is correspondingly sleeved on each connection member 22 and is located between the connection base 21 and the base 10.

[0035] The moving mechanism 30 includes a driving assembly 31 and a mounting seat 33. The driving assembly 31 is provided on the base 10 and drives the connecting mounting seat 33 to drive the mounting seat 33 to move closer to or away from the connecting seat 21. The mounting seat 33 is used to place products.

[0036] Preferably, the base 10 is flat and has a flat top surface, which facilitates the placement and stability of the test mechanism 20 and the mobile mechanism 30, as well as the horizontal alignment of the test mechanism 20 and the mobile mechanism 30. In other embodiments, the base 10 can also be replaced by a frame or a box, which is not limited here. It is understood that the base 10 is also provided with a mounting plate extending in a vertical direction for mounting and setting the test mechanism 20, so that the test mechanism 20 and the product are at the same level, thereby ensuring that the product and the test mechanism 20 are docked.

[0037] The testing mechanism 20 includes a connecting seat 21, at least two connecting members 22, and at least two elastic members 23. In this embodiment, the connecting member 22 is cylindrical and the elastic member 23 is a spring. The spring is sleeved on the outside of the connecting column and the connecting member 22 is inserted through the mounting plate of the base 10 and extends horizontally. The two ends of the spring respectively abut the connecting seat 21 and the mounting plate of the base 10. In this way, the connecting member 22 can connect the connecting seat 21 and the base 10, maintain the position and height of the connecting seat 21, and serve as a stable guide. The connecting member 22 is movably inserted through the mounting plate of the base 10, allowing the connecting member 22 and the connecting seat 21 to move relative to the mounting plate of the base 10. Since there are at least two connecting members 22 and elastic members 23, the at least two connecting members 22 are spaced apart along the direction perpendicular to the installation direction of the connecting seat 21, that is, along the extension direction of the mounting plate. Correspondingly, one elastic member 23 is sleeved on each connecting member 22, so that the elastic effect of the elastic member 23 is exerted on different connecting members 22. It is understood that when there are two connecting members 22, the two connecting members 22 can be distributed horizontally or vertically. When they are distributed horizontally, the connecting base 21 can be rotated up and down in the vertical direction, while when they are distributed vertically, the connecting base 21 can be rotated left and right in the horizontal direction. When there are three connecting members 22, the three connecting members 22 can be arranged in a triangular shape, thereby achieving rotational deviation in three directions. As the number of connecting members 22 and elastic members 23 increases, the elastic force in different directions increases, which can increase rotational stability and stability after the rotational force is deflected in different directions. A connector 22 and an elastic member 23 are provided. The cooperation of at least two connectors 22 and elastic members 23 allows the connector base 21 to be offset in different directions perpendicular to the plugging direction of the Type-C connector and the Type-C interface. When the Type-C interface is plugged into the Type-C connector via the moving mechanism 30, the elastic members 23 on the connectors 22 at different positions can be pressed to rotate the connector base 21, thereby aligning the Type-C connector with the Type-C interface, and effectively plugging the Type-C connector into the Type-C interface, achieving an effective connection. Furthermore, the connector 22 can also be a connecting block, and the elastic member 23 can also be a spring, soft rubber, etc., which are not limited here.

[0038] The moving mechanism 30 includes a driving component 31 and a mounting base 33. The driving component 31 is provided on the base 10 and drives the connection mounting base 33 to drive the mounting base 33 to move closer to or away from the connection base 21. After placing the product on the mounting base 33, place the Type-C interface of the product toward the connection base 21. The driving component 31 drives the mounting base 33 to move toward the connection base 21. The Type-C interface can move and dock with the Type-C connector fixed on the connection base 21 to achieve connection between the two. The Type-C interface can then be tested. After the test is completed, the driving component 31 drives the mounting base 33 to move in a direction away from the connection base 21. The Type-C interface can move and away from the connection base 21. The Type-C interface is separated from the Type-C connector. The product can be removed from the mounting base 33 and the test product can be replaced.

[0039] The above technical solution provided by the embodiment of the present application has the following advantages compared with the prior art: the present application is provided with a connecting seat 21, at least two connecting members 22 and at least two elastic members 23 in the test mechanism 20, the connecting seat 21 is used to clamp and fix the Type-C connector, the connecting seat 21 is connected to the base 10 through the connecting member 22, the connecting member 22 is movably passed through the base 10, one end of which is connected to the connecting seat 21, and the other end is movably supported on the base 10, so that the connecting seat 21 and the connecting member 22 can move relative to the base 10 in a synchronous manner, the elastic member 23 is sleeved on the connecting member 22 and is located between the connecting seat 21 and the base 10, and its two ends are respectively supported on the base 10 and the connecting seat 21, and because at least two connecting members 22 are vertically connected to the connecting seat 21 The installation direction is set at intervals, and the cooperation of at least two connecting members 22 and elastic members 23 allows the connecting base 21 to be offset in different directions perpendicular to the plug-in direction of the Type-C connector and the Type-C interface. When the Type-C interface is plugged into the Type-C connector through the moving mechanism 30, the elastic members 23 on the connecting members 22 at different positions can be pressed to rotate the direction of the connecting base 21, so that the Type-C connector can be aligned with the Type-C interface, and the Type-C connector can be effectively plugged into the Type-C interface to achieve an effective connection effect; and when the Type-C interface is detached from the Type-C connector, the elastic member 23 is restored to reset the direction of the connecting base 21, facilitating the next plug-in test. This arrangement ensures the effective and accurate docking of the Type-C connector and the Type-C interface, thereby improving the docking accuracy and success rate, and improving the efficiency and accuracy of testing.

[0040] Furthermore, if Figure 1 - Figure 6As shown, there are four connecting members 22 and four elastic members 23 . The four connecting members 22 are arranged in a quadrangular array. The cross-sectional shape of the connecting seat 21 is rectangular. One connecting member 22 corresponds to one corner of the surface of the connecting seat 21 .

[0041] In this embodiment, the cross-section of the connection base 21 is rectangular, and there are four connecting members 22 and four elastic members 23. The four connecting members 22 are connected to the four corners of the connection surface of the connection base 21, and the four elastic members are respectively mounted on the four connecting members 22. In this arrangement, the four connecting members 22 are arranged at the four corners, which allows the connection base 21 to be rotated and offset in different directions, thereby improving the rotational freedom of the connection base 21.

[0042] Furthermore, the elastic member 23 is a spring. In this embodiment, the spring acts as a buffer, effectively absorbing and dispersing impact forces and protecting the Type-C connector from damage. During the test run, friction and vibration will occur between the various components. The spring can reduce these adverse effects through its elastic deformation, ensuring stable operation of the device. Furthermore, the spring is sleeved outside the connector 22, making it easy to replace and repair, improving ease of use.

[0043] Furthermore, the base 10 includes a bottom plate 11 and a connecting plate 13 vertically connected to the bottom plate 11. The connecting plate 13 has at least two mounting holes 131, and a connecting member 22 is movably inserted into one of the mounting holes 131. The provision of the mounting holes 131 facilitates the insertion and movement of the connecting member 22 and also serves as a guide to maintain the position of the connecting member 22.

[0044] Furthermore, the connecting plate 13 is provided with a connection hole 133 for inserting the Type-C connector. The connection hole 133 is located at the midpoint of the line connecting at least two mounting holes 131. The provision of the connection hole 133 facilitates the insertion of the Type-C connector wires, allowing the wires to pass between the multiple connectors 22, facilitating the routing of the wires without interfering with the connectors 22.

[0045] Furthermore, a stopper 221 is provided radially protruding from one end of the connector 22 away from the connector base 21. The diameter of the stopper 221 is larger than the diameter of the mounting hole 131. The provision of the stopper 221 limits the movement of the connector 22, preventing the connector 22 from falling out of the mounting hole 131, while also maintaining the position of the connector base 21 and maintaining the support function of the elastic member 23 between the connector base 21 and the base 10.

[0046] Furthermore, the drive assembly 31 includes a drive member 311, a slide rail 312 and a slider 313. The slider 313 is slidably arranged on the slide rail 312. The drive member 311 drives the connecting slider 313. The mounting seat 33 is arranged on the slider 313. The drive member 311 drives the slider 313 to move and drives the mounting seat 33 to move closer to or away from the connecting seat 21. Furthermore, the drive assembly 31 can also be driven by a gear and a rack, or by a motor and a screw, or by a slide rail 312 and a pulley, which is not limited here. Using the slide rail 312 and the slider 313 for driving can keep the moving direction as a straight line, keep the moving direction between the mounting seat 33 and the connecting seat 21 as a straight line, and maintain the docking position of the Type-C connector and the Type-C interface.

[0047] Furthermore, the mounting base 33 is formed with a mounting slot 331, and first relief openings 332 are recessed on either side of the mounting slot 331 in the direction in which the slot extends. The provision of the first relief openings 332 facilitates the placement of the product's wires, while the provision of the other first relief openings 332 facilitates the docking of the Type-C connector with the Type-C interface. The provision of the mounting slots 331 effectively maintains the product's position and maintains its placement stability.

[0048] Furthermore, the mounting slot 331 is provided with second avoidance openings 333 on both sides perpendicular to the extension direction. The setting of the two avoidance openings can be used for the clamping mechanism to clamp the two sides of the product through the second avoidance openings 333 for taking and placing the product.

[0049] Furthermore, the testing mechanism 20 also includes a radio frequency tester 24 .

[0050] The RF tester 24 is mounted on the base 10 and is located on one side of the connector 21. When the Type-C connector is connected to the Type-C interface, the RF tester 24 is located on one side of the mounting base 33. The mounting base 33 has an opening for connecting the RF tester 24 to the product. The RF tester 24 can measure parameters such as the frequency, power, and phase of the RF signal.

[0051] It can be understood that the above embodiments only express the preferred implementation methods of the present invention, and the descriptions thereof are relatively specific and detailed, but they cannot be understood as limiting the patent scope of the present invention. It should be pointed out that for ordinary technicians in this field, without departing from the concept of the present invention, the above technical features can be freely combined, and several deformations and improvements can be made, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, all equivalent changes and modifications made to the scope of the claims of the present invention should fall within the scope of coverage of the claims of the present invention.
