The embodiments described below with reference to the accompanying drawings are exemplary and are intended to be used to explain the utility model, and cannot be understood as limiting the utility model.
[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, a solid-state drive testing device according to one embodiment of the present invention includes a chassis 1 having an internal mounting space, a test device 2 disposed in the mounting space, a power supply 8, and a test circuit board 3. The test circuit board 3 is electrically connected to the test device 2, the power supply 8 is used to power the test device 2, and the test circuit board 3 is used to connect to a plurality of solid-state drives 4 to be tested. By electrically connecting the test circuit board 3, with the plurality of solid-state drives 4 to be tested connected thereto, to the test device 2, the plurality of solid-state drives 4 can be installed uniformly, saving equipment space and making the device compact.
[0032] Further references Figures 2 to 3 The chassis 1 includes a frame 13 and a shell 14 fixed on the frame 13. In this embodiment, the frame 13 is constructed of profiles and the shell 14 is made of sheet metal, which is durable, easy to process and low in cost.
[0033] Chassis 1 also includes a first mounting plate 10 vertically mounted within the installation space. This plate divides the installation space into a test area 11 and a host area 12. The test device 2 and power supply 8 are located within host area 12, while the test circuit board 3 is vertically mounted within test area 11 and secured to the first mounting plate 10 via screws (not shown). Separating the test device 2 and test circuit board 3 from each other separates the heat generated by each, increasing the device's heat dissipation capacity.
[0034] Optionally, the solid-state drive test device further includes an anti-static base 7, one side of which is fixedly connected to the first fixing plate 10, and the other side of which is fixedly connected to the test circuit board 3, so as to prevent static electricity from affecting the test circuit board 3 and thus damaging the device.
[0035] Optionally, the chassis 1 further includes a second fixing plate 15, which is horizontally positioned within the host area 12. The test device 2 and power supply 8 are positioned on either side of the second fixing plate 15. This partitioning of the test device 2 and power supply 8 separates the heat generated by each from the same space, thereby increasing the device's heat dissipation capacity. Furthermore, the test device 2 incorporates an overcurrent protection circuit and a ground fault protection circuit to enhance device safety.
[0036] The test circuit board 3 is integrated with several hard disk interfaces 30 for plugging in several solid-state hard disks 4 to be tested. The several solid-state hard disks 4 are electrically connected to the test circuit board 3 via the several hard disk interfaces 30. The test circuit board 3 is also electrically connected to the test device 2, and the solid-state hard disks 4 are plugged into the hard disk interfaces 30 in a horizontal orientation. The test circuit board 3 with multiple hard disk interfaces 30 allows the multiple solid-state hard disks 4 to be installed uniformly, saving equipment space and making the equipment structure compact. At the same time, the hard disk interfaces 30 and the solid-state hard disks 4 are both arranged horizontally, reducing the possibility of dust entering the interfaces and causing damage to the equipment. In this embodiment, the test circuit board 3 is square and integrated with eight hard disk interfaces 30. The eight hard disk interfaces 30 are arranged in two rows and evenly spaced, which can minimize the area of the test circuit board 3 and thus reduce the size of the equipment.
[0037] Optionally, the housing 14 includes a first side panel 141 having an opening 142 therein for inserting the solid-state drive 4 into the solid-state drive testing apparatus. In this embodiment, the opening 142 is square for ease of processing and for accommodating the test circuit board 3, while also having rounded corners to prevent injury to users.
[0038] Optionally, the housing 14 further includes a top plate 144 , which is disposed on the top of the chassis 1 and is closed except for an opening for fixing, and is used to seal the top of the chassis 1 to prevent dust from falling into the chassis 1 .
[0039] Further references Figure 4The housing 14 also includes a symmetrically arranged second side panel 143. Several heat dissipation holes 140 are provided on the second side panel 143 near the test device 2 and the solid-state drive 4 to enhance heat dissipation. The solid-state drive test equipment also includes several cooling fans 6. These fans 6 are positioned on both sides of the solid-state drive 4, and the fans 6 have the same wind direction. The fans 6 on one side blow inward, drawing cool air from the outside into the device, while the fans 6 on the other side blow outward, removing hot air from the device to the outside. This accelerates air circulation within the device, improves the device's heat dissipation performance, and makes test results more accurate.
[0040] Optionally, a plurality of foot pads 9 are installed under the chassis 1 to reduce the impact of device vibration on the test and to elevate the device to a certain height to increase heat dissipation. In this embodiment, a foot pad 9 is installed at each of the four corners of the device.
[0041] Optionally, refer to Figures 5 and 6 The solid-state hard disk test device further includes a guide member 5. The guide member 5 is fixedly connected to the test circuit board 3 and has a plurality of guide grooves 50 formed thereon corresponding to the plurality of hard disk interfaces 30, for guiding the solid-state hard disk 4 when it is plugged in.
[0042] Optionally, a chamfer 53 is formed on the guide groove 50 away from the test circuit board 3 to serve as a guide when the solid state drive 4 is plugged in.
[0043] Optionally, the guide member 5 includes at least one pair of guide blocks 51 symmetrically disposed on either side of the hard disk interface 30. Guide grooves 50 are formed on the guide blocks 51. In this embodiment, guide blocks 51 are disposed on both sides of the two rows of hard disk interfaces 30. The guide blocks 51 are fixedly connected to the test circuit board 3 via screws (not shown).
[0044] Optionally, the guide member 5 further includes a plurality of support plates 54, which are disposed one-to-one below the plurality of hard drive interfaces 30 and are fixedly connected to the guide member 5. These support plates 54 further support the solid-state drives 4 to prevent them from falling off due to vibration or other reasons during testing. In this embodiment, the support plates 54 are fixed to the guide block 51 by screws. In other optional embodiments, the support plates 54 may also be directly fixedly connected to the test circuit board 3.
[0045] Optionally, a through hole 540 is formed on the support plate 54 for ventilating and dissipating heat for the solid state drive 4 .
[0046] When in use, several solid-state hard disks 4 are inserted into the guide grooves 50 one by one, plugged into the hard disk interfaces 30 integrated on the test circuit board 3, and then the start button on the back of the solid-state hard disk test device is turned on. The solid-state hard disk test device provided by the utility model is provided with a test circuit board 3 integrated with multiple hard disk interfaces 30, and the test circuit board 3 is electrically connected to the test device 2, so that several solid-state hard disks 4 can be installed uniformly, saving equipment space and making the equipment structure compact; the installation space in the equipment is divided into a test area 11 and a host area 12, and both are provided with heat dissipation holes 140, so that the space layout in the equipment is reasonable, the heat dissipation is good, and the various components are installed in different positions for easy later maintenance and repair; by setting a horizontal hard disk interface 30 and using a support plate 54 to support the solid-state hard disk 4, it is not easy for dust to enter the hard disk interface 30 from above and cause damage to the hard disk interface 30.
[0047] The above embodiments merely illustrate several implementations of the present invention. While the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the present invention. It should be noted that a person skilled in the art would be able to make numerous variations and improvements without departing from the concept of the present invention, all of which fall within the scope of protection of the present invention. Therefore, the scope of protection of the present invention shall be determined by the appended claims.
