Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to the field of ICT electrical testing, in particular to an adjustable side plug-in module of a connector. Background Art
[0002] During the connector production process, it needs to be tested, that is, the female connector is inserted into the male connector for compatibility and other performance tests. This process is generally assisted by a side-insertion module to improve processing efficiency. The existing side-insertion module is fixed and can only insert the metal contact points at a fixed horizontal angle. Once the PCB fixed position deviates, or the assembly error between the connector and the adapter card is large, misalignment is likely to occur. There is a possibility that forced side insertion will succeed. Since the metal contact points lack edge chamfers, forced side insertion will scratch the adapter card, resulting in a reduced service life and increased production costs. Utility Model Content

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is: the present invention includes a base, an adapter card, a connector and a metal contact point, the connector is fixedly arranged on the adapter card, the metal contact point is inserted in the connector, and it also includes an elastic swing mechanism and a side-insertion auxiliary guide rail assembly, the adapter card is detachably arranged on the elastic swing mechanism, and is rotatably connected to the base through the elastic swing mechanism, and the base is slidably arranged on the side-insertion auxiliary guide rail assembly.
[0005] Furthermore, the elastic swing mechanism includes a swing platform, two groups of buffer seats and several adjustment springs. The two groups of buffer seats are symmetrically arranged on the front end surface of the base. The two side ends of the swing platform are respectively connected to the buffer seats through turn pins. Several adjustment springs are connected between the swing platform and the base, and the adapter card is arranged on the swing platform.
[0006] Furthermore, the buffer seat is connected to the base via a connecting shaft, and a buffer spring is sleeved on the connecting shaft.
[0007] Furthermore, a plurality of mounting holes are provided on the swing platform, and a mounting gasket is provided between the adapter card and the swing platform.
[0008] Furthermore, the side-insertion auxiliary guide rail assembly includes auxiliary slide rails symmetrically arranged on both side ends of the base, and both side ends of the base are slidably engaged with the auxiliary slide rails through sliders.
[0009] Finally, a push rod is also provided on the base, and both side ends of the push rod are arranged on the top of the base through connecting blocks.
[0010] Compared to the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages: The present invention utilizes the elastic swing mechanism provided on the base to compress the adjustment spring to adjust the horizontal angle and drive the adapter card to swing and rotate on the base to accommodate vertical offsets caused by the fixed PCB female connector. The side-insertion auxiliary guide rail assembly cooperates with the push rod to drive the base to move on the auxiliary rail to accommodate for the front-to-back offsets caused by the fixed PCB female connector, thereby improving the side-insertion fault tolerance and the test life of the adapter card. Therefore, the present invention allows the adapter card to be rotated and swung to adjust the horizontal angle, improving the side-insertion fault tolerance and the adapter card's service life.

[0014] like Figures 1 to 3As shown, the present invention includes a base 1, an adapter card 2, a connector 3 and a metal contact point 4. The connector 3 is fixedly arranged on the adapter card 2, and the metal contact point 4 is inserted into the connector 3. It also includes an elastic swing mechanism and a side-insertion auxiliary guide rail assembly. The adapter card 2 is detachably arranged on the elastic swing mechanism and is rotatably connected to the base 1 through the elastic swing mechanism. The base 1 is slidably arranged on the side-insertion auxiliary guide rail assembly. In the present invention, a concave step is provided on the base 1, and the elastic swing mechanism is arranged in the concave step, including a swing table 5, two groups of buffer seats 6 and a number of adjustment springs 7. The two groups of buffer seats 6 are respectively arranged on the front end surfaces on the left and right sides of the concave step through a connecting shaft 8. A buffer spring 9 is sleeved on the connecting shaft 8. When side insertion is performed, the buffer spring 9 is compressed to play a protective and resetting role. The two side ends of the swing table 5 are respectively connected to the buffer seat 6 through a rotating pin and are suspended in the concave step. A number of the adjustment springs 7 It is connected between the swing table 5 and the base 1, and the horizontal angle of the adapter card 2 is adjusted by compressing several of the adjustment springs 7. At the same time, the adapter card is swung and rotated on the base to adapt to the vertical offset generated when the PCB female connector is fixed; several mounting holes 10 are provided on the swing table 5, and a mounting gasket 11 is also provided between the adapter card 2 and the swing table 5. The adapter card 2 is fixed on the swing table 5 by screws fitting into the mounting holes 10. The adapter card 2 can be replaced according to test requirements.
[0015] The side-insertion auxiliary rail assembly includes auxiliary rails 12 symmetrically positioned on either side of the base 1. Both sides of the base 1 slide in engagement with the auxiliary rails 12 via sliders 13. A push rod 14 is also provided on the base 1, with both ends of the push rod 14 attached to the top of the base 1 via connecting blocks 15. The push rod 14 drives the base 1 to slide on the auxiliary rails 12 via the sliders 13, thereby accommodating the forward and backward deviations caused by the fixed PCB female connector.
[0016] The utility model has adaptive adjustment capability, and relies on the side-insertion auxiliary guide rail assembly to adjust the translation distance. At the same time, the adjustment spring 7 can be compressed to adjust the horizontal angle and rotate and swing the adapter card 2 around the metal contact point 4, effectively avoiding the phenomenon of forced side insertion caused by deviation in the PCB fixed position or assembly error between the connector 3 and the adapter card 2, thereby reducing the risk of scratching the adapter card 2, increasing the service life of the test, and greatly reducing the production cost.
