Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to an automatic continuity testing device for button connectors, belonging to the field of connector technology. Background Technology

[0002] The probe and the button are interconnected via axial elastic contact. After assembly, continuity measurement is required.

[0003] Traditional continuity testing is done manually, using a continuity tester to contact both ends of the connector to determine if there is internal continuity. Due to the small size, high density, and precision of button-like products, manual operation is difficult to guarantee accurate measurements and can easily damage internal components, creating potential quality issues.

[0004] Existing continuity meters are similar to the continuity setting on a multimeter, using a battery connected to an active buzzer at one end. The other end connects to the unconnected terminal of the buzzer, with two probes tipped for ease of use. In use, the probes are brought into contact with the two ends of the connector being tested. If the connector is functioning correctly, the circuit is continuous, forming a closed loop, and the buzzer sounds. If the connector is faulty, the circuit is open, and the buzzer does not sound. Due to the large number of channels, small spacing, and small pin heads or bare buttons in multi-channel connector modules, existing equipment is prone to errors in measurement due to its high density. This can easily lead to missed detections by employees and damage to the connector surface probes or internal structure during measurement, affecting product performance and long-term reliability.

[0005] The normal process for these products also requires springback dimension testing to determine if the product's springback dimension is acceptable. The conventional method is to add an extra step and assign a separate employee to perform the inspection. The product inspection process is lengthy, prone to damage, and errors and omissions in the inspection results are unavoidable. Utility Model Content

[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide an automatic continuity testing device for button connectors to solve the problems mentioned in the background art.

[0008] An automatic continuity testing device for a button connector includes a base plate, a cover plate, a pad, a pressure block, a fixing block, a wrench, a connecting rod, a double torsion spring, a main control board, and a display board. A locating pin is installed in a locating hole on the base plate. The rotating shaft seat is positioned to the base plate by the locating pin and locked in place by a hex screw. The locating pin is pressed into the locating hole on the base plate. The main control board is fixed to a mounting groove machined on the base plate by a flat-head Phillips screw. The pad is fixed to the base plate by a flat-head Phillips screw, completing the base plate assembly. The wrench, connecting rod, fixing block, and rotating shaft are also included. Align the holes, and use pivot two and pivot three to pass through the holes, allowing the installed wrench and connecting rod to rotate freely. Pass the hex screw one through the fixing block and install it onto the base plate assembly to complete the base installation. Use flat-head Phillips screws to fix the pressure block onto the cover plate. Press lamp caps two and one into the cover plate mounting holes. Place the display panel onto the cover plate and machine the mounting groove to complete the cover plate assembly installation. Align the cover plate assembly with the pivot holes of the base, insert a double torsion spring into the middle notch, and use pivot one to pass through the cover plate assembly, the double torsion spring, and the base. Use a mortise screw to fix pivot one.

[0009] Preferably, the base plate, cover plate, and pivot seat are made of aluminum alloy.

[0010] Preferably, the first rotating shaft, the pressure block, the fixing block, the wrench, the connecting rod, the first positioning pin, the second positioning pin, the second rotating shaft, and the third rotating shaft are made of stainless steel.
