[0031] Please see Figures 1 to 5 This utility model discloses a static test fixture, which includes: a base 1, a fixture 2 and a clamping mechanism 3;

[0032] The clamping mechanism 3 is mounted on the base 1, and the clamp 2 can be placed on the base 1.

[0033] Specifically, in this embodiment, the base 1 is a box structure with one side open. Optionally, in other embodiments, the base 1 can be a block or a closed box structure. The open side of the base 1 can be placed on a table or other structure, and a clamp 2 and a clamping mechanism 3 are provided on the side of the base 1 opposite to the open side.

[0034] The clamping mechanism 3 includes a stand 31 and a quick clamp 32 disposed on the stand 31. The quick clamp 32 is provided with a pressure block 33 pointing towards the clamp 2.

[0035] Specifically, the pressing block 33 points to the clamp 2, and by wiggling the quick clamp 32, the pressing block 33 can be driven to press down or release the clamp 2. The materials of the pressing block 33 and the clamp 2 are selected to be high polymer materials resistant to high temperature, which are relatively soft and will not damage the module, and will not be deformed in high temperature test. The high temperature resistant material enables the clamp 2 to work in high temperature working conditions, enriching the extreme working conditions of the module test, and the module is in close contact with the probe of the clamp 2 through pressing.

[0036] The base 1 is provided with a plurality of lifting driving members 4. Optionally, the lifting driving member 4 can be a pneumatic cylinder, a hydraulic cylinder or an electric cylinder. Optionally, in the embodiment, the lifting driving member 4 is provided with two, which are respectively arranged on the two sides of the clamp 2 to support the clamp 2 from both sides. Of course, the lifting driving member 4 can also be provided with three or more to realize more stable support of the clamp 2. The number of the lifting driving member 4 is only for illustration and is not used to limit the utility model.

[0037] Further, in the embodiment, the base 1 is provided with a plurality of dampers 5, and the clamp 2 can abut against the damper 5. The damper 5 is a device for providing resistance to movement and dissipating kinetic energy. The damper 5 is installed on the base 1, and the head of the damper 5 can abut against the clamp 2. Preferably, the head of the damper 5 is provided in an oval shape to protect the clamp 2 from impact damage. Optionally, in the embodiment, the damper 5 is provided with four, which are dispersedly arranged at the bottom of the clamp 2 to stably support the clamp 2. Optionally, the damper 5 can be provided with three or more, which are only for illustration and are not used to limit the utility model. The basic characteristics of the damper 5 selected in the embodiment are: 1. The main parts are made of stainless steel, which is firm and durable; 2. The damping force is large, and the dynamic response time is short; 3. The effective stroke of the damping should be between 150mm to 500mm; 4. The damper 5 needs to be resistant to high temperature and has the ability to work in high temperature conditions for a long time.

[0038] The output end of each lifting drive 4 is provided with a mounting block (not shown in the figure), and the clamp 2 is provided with a corresponding locking hole 201, and the output end of the lifting drive 4 is arranged in the locking hole 201, wherein the locking hole 201 includes two first holes 2011 and second holes 2012 with different diameters and in communication, the diameter of the mounting block is greater than the diameter of the second hole 2012 and less than the diameter of the first hole 2011, so that the mounting block can pass through the first hole 2011 as a whole and cannot pass through the second hole 2012, thereby realizing the connection between the lifting drive 4 and the clamp 2. After the lifting drive 4 enters the second hole 2012 with a smaller diameter, the clamp 2 cannot be pulled out of the locking hole 201, the lifting drive 4 is retracted, and the mounting block and the clamp 2 are slowly clamped. The diameter of the second hole 2012 is matched with the diameter of the output end of the lifting drive 4, so that the output end of the lifting drive 4 can smoothly enter the second hole 2012 and smoothly slide in it.

[0039] Optionally, in the embodiment, the base 1 is provided with a first probe area 11. In a specific embodiment, the first probe area 11 is provided with 24 sub-area contacts. For example, the design of the female clamp with 53 groups of contacts in the prior art has the possibility of poor contact, and the contact is less and the overcurrent capacity is poor, and there is a risk of sparking when the current is too large. However, in the design of 24 sub-area contacts in the embodiment, the contact can be increased by pressing down to reduce the risk of poor contact, and the contact is more and the overcurrent capacity is good, and there is no risk of sparking when the current is too large. The selection of power and signal probes requires: 1. The contact area of the probe head is large; 2. The probe is plated with gold or silver; 3. The probe is divided into two sections, which will reduce the transition resistance and reduce heat generation after pressing.

[0040] Further, the first probe area 11 is provided with a baffle pressing strip 6 on both sides. The baffle pressing strip 6 can be used to control the maximum stroke of the damper 5. The damper 5 is arranged on the side of the baffle pressing strip 6 away from the first probe area 11.

[0041] Specifically, in the embodiment, the clamp 2 includes a first plate 21, a side stand plate 23, a second plate 22, and a PCB bracket.

[0042] The side stand plate 23 is provided with a plurality of side stand plates 23, and the plurality of side stand plates 23 are arranged around the first plate 21. The second plate 22 is arranged on the side stand plate 23, the locking hole 201 is arranged on the first plate 21, and the PCB bracket is movably arranged on the second plate 22.

[0043] For example, four side plates 23 are provided, and the four side plates 23 are sequentially connected in a head-to-tail manner to surround the first plate 21. The second plate 22 is arranged on the side plates 23. The first plate 21, the four side plates 23, and the second plate 22 form a box structure in the shape of a quadrangular prism. The two ends of the first plate 21 protrude beyond the second plate 22 and the side plates 23. The protruding portions can be used as handles to facilitate holding the entire clamp 2. The locking hole 201 is arranged on the handle of the first plate 21.

[0044] Optionally, the second plate 22 is provided with a second probe area 222.

[0045] The first probe area 11 and the second probe area 222 can be directly provided with probes or provided with probes through probe mounting plates. The probes are arranged on the probe mounting plates, and the probe mounting plates are arranged on the target positions. For example, in the embodiment, the probes are arranged on the probe mounting plates, and the probe mounting plates are arranged on the base 1 and the second plate 22. The first probe mounting plate (not shown in the figure) is detachably arranged on the base 1, and the second probe mounting plate 82 is detachably arranged on the second plate 22. Optionally, in the embodiment, the first probe mounting plate can be arranged between the first plate 21 and the partitioning strip 6 on the base 1.

[0046] In order to realize the extension of the probes from the box structure to the second probe area 222 on the second plate 22, a plurality of openings 211 are arranged on the first plate 21.

[0047] The PCB bracket includes a first bracket plate 241 and a second bracket plate 242. The second bracket plate 242 is connected with the first bracket plate 241. The first bracket plate 241 is movably connected with the second plate 22.

[0048] The PCB bracket is movably connected with the clamp 2 through a plurality of guide columns 25.

[0049] Specifically, in the embodiment, a plurality of guide columns 25 are arranged between the first bracket plate 241 and the second plate 22. The guide columns 25 play a guiding role. A plurality of elastic columns 24 are further arranged between the PCB bracket and the clamp 2. The elastic columns 24 pass through the second bracket plate 242 upward and pass through the second plate 22 downward. After the PCB bracket is pressed downward, the elastic columns 24 can rebound.

[0050] This utility model provides a static testing fixture. Through the cooperation of a lifting drive 4 and a locking hole 201, the fixture 2 is supported, clamped, and removed. When the lifting drive 4 is open, its output end passes through the locking hole 201. Closing the lifting drive 4 locks the fixture 2 onto the base 1. Opening the lifting drive 4 again removes the fixture 2, enabling easy and simple replacement. The damper 5 provides buffering downward pressure on the fixture 2, protecting it from impact damage. The lifting drive 4 allows the fixture 2 to slide freely, avoiding friction and collisions, greatly enhancing its durability. After a period of use, we believe the fixture's durability has increased by more than 50%, and the replacement frequency of new fixtures has decreased by approximately 90%.

[0051] Due to the ever-increasing demands of power semiconductor testing for high-temperature conditions, the operating junction temperature of Si chips has risen from 150℃ in the previous generation to 175℃, and the operating junction temperature of new SiC materials is even higher, reaching up to 200℃. Furthermore, the power density of packages is constantly improving, leading to a growing demand for testing under high-temperature and high-current conditions. To address this need, we improved the materials of the bottom of the quick clamp 32 and the pressure block 33 by using a high-temperature resistant polymer material. According to reports, the material can withstand temperatures above 250℃, is relatively soft and will not damage the module, and will not deform during high-temperature testing, nor will it release foreign matter that could contaminate the product. The original clamping method would fail due to metal deformation caused by high temperatures or prolonged stress and temperature shock, leading to severe metal fatigue and safety hazards. The newly added damper is heat-resistant and capable of operating under high-temperature conditions for extended periods.

[0052] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0053] The above embodiments only illustrate several implementation methods of this utility model, and their descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, but they should not be construed as limiting the scope of this utility model patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this utility model, and these all fall within the protection scope of this utility model. Therefore, the protection scope of this utility model patent should be determined by the appended claims.
