[0032] A programming fixture is a tool used to assist in controlling the position or movement of the chip, primarily for programming. Its main functions include ensuring chip stability during the programming process, establishing a stable electrical connection between the chip and the circuit board, protecting the chip and circuit board from external environmental interference, and improving production efficiency. Through precise clamping and positioning, the programming fixture ensures that current can be smoothly transferred from the circuit board to the chip, thereby achieving successful chip programming.

[0033] The most common programming jig mechanisms currently available generally consist of an upper mold and a lower mold, usually made of steel plate. The upper mold is driven by a handle and related linkage mechanisms. While this meets the requirements for high precision and high reliability, the programming jig is heavy and bulky, making it difficult to transport. Researchers who want to conduct programming experiments must go to the laboratory, making the experiments both time-consuming and labor-intensive.

[0034] Based on this, the present invention proposes a programming fixture with a simple structure, which is easy to miniaturize, easy to transport and use, and reduces costs.

[0035] For details, please refer to Figures 1 to 2 The programming fixture 100 includes a template assembly, a pressure plate 3, and a programming structure. The template assembly includes an upper template 1 and a movable plate 2 disposed opposite to each other. The movable plate 2 has a mounting portion for placing the motherboard to be tested. At least one of the upper template 1 and the movable plate 2 can be moved towards or away from the other by an external force. The pressure plate 3 is located between the upper template 1 and the movable plate 2. The pressure plate 3 can move in the vertical direction to press the motherboard to be tested onto the movable plate 2. The programming structure includes a plurality of programming conductive portions 4 arranged at intervals. One end of the plurality of programming conductive portions 4 is used to connect to the circuit, and the other end is located in the mounting portion for contacting the motherboard to be tested.

[0036] In this invention, the motherboard to be tested is placed inside the mounting section of the movable plate 2. The pressure plate 3 continuously presses down to hold and fix the motherboard to be tested onto the movable plate 2. The operator manually moves the upper template 1 and the movable plate 2 relative to each other, thereby pressing and fixing the motherboard to be tested between the movable plate 2 and the pressure plate 3. This maintains a stable electrical connection between the programming guide 4 and the programming position on the motherboard to be tested, thus completing the programming experiment. This structure is simple and easy to miniaturize, allowing it to be placed in an office area for easy transport. It reduces the area occupied by the testing site and the cost of the testing equipment. The pressure plate 3 and the movable plate 2 work together to press and fix the motherboard, facilitating assembly and disassembly.

[0037] It should be noted that the programming connector 4 is a commonly used programming probe. This probe can connect to external devices to access the circuit. The specific structure of the probe is not limited in this utility model, as long as it can realize the programming function. In order to facilitate the installation guidance of the programming connector 4, it is preferable to set the programming connector 4 on the movable plate 2, and set the functional end of the programming connector 4 facing upward.

[0038] It should be understood that both the upper template 1 and the movable plate 2 can be movable in the vertical direction, or only one of them can be movable in the vertical direction. Considering the stability of the electrical connection of the burning conductor 4 during the burning process, in this embodiment, the upper template 1 can be moved in the vertical direction under external force. The movable plate 2 remains fixed. In use, the operator manually presses the upper template 1 and the pressure plate 3 to achieve pressing with the movable plate 2.

[0039] For optimal results, please refer to the following: Figure 2In some embodiments, the programming fixture 100 further includes a first magnetic attraction structure, which includes two first magnetic attraction elements 5 that are magnetically engaged and arranged opposite each other. The two first magnetic attraction elements 5 are respectively disposed on the opposite sides of the upper template 1 and the pressure plate 3. The two first magnetic attraction elements 5 are magnetically attracted to each other, so that the pressure plate 3 can be connected to the upper template 1 under the magnetic attraction, allowing a larger space to be reserved between the pressure plate 3 and the movable plate 2, facilitating the disassembly and assembly of the motherboard to be tested. It should be understood that the appropriate setting of the number and magnetism of the first magnetic attraction elements 5 can adjust the attraction force between the upper template 1 and the pressure plate 3.

[0040] In some embodiments, the programming fixture 100 further includes a second magnetic attraction structure, which includes two second magnetic attractors 6 that are magnetically engaged and arranged opposite each other. The two second magnetic attractors 6 are respectively disposed on opposite sides of the movable plate 2 and the pressure plate 3. The two second magnetic attractors 6 are magnetically attracted to each other, so that the pressure plate 3 and the movable plate 2 are always kept close to each other by magnetic attraction during the programming process, allowing the operator to free their hands without having to constantly press down on the upper template 1 during the programming process. It should be understood that the appropriate setting of the number and magnetism of the second magnetic attractors 6 can adjust the attraction force between the movable plate 2 and the pressure plate 3.

[0041] In this embodiment, please refer to Figure 1 and Figure 3 Simultaneously, a first magnetic attraction structure and a second magnetic attraction structure are provided. At this time, the pressure plate 3 has a first magnetic attraction element 5 and a second magnetic attraction element 6 respectively along its vertical direction. Considering the setting of the magnetic attraction force and the stability of force distribution, two of each type of magnetic attraction structure are provided. Specifically, two first magnetic attraction elements 5 are provided on the upper end surface of the pressure plate 3, and two second magnetic attraction elements 6 are provided on the lower end surface. The two first magnetic attraction elements 5 and the two second magnetic attraction elements 6 are arranged diagonally along the pressure plate 3, and the diagonals of the two second magnetic attraction elements 5 intersect with the diagonals of the two first magnetic attraction elements 6. This ensures that the magnetic components on the pressure plate 3 are distributed at the four corners of the pressure plate, and the magnetic attraction elements on the upper and lower end surfaces are staggered, thus avoiding mutual interference of magnetic attraction forces.

[0042] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the first magnetic component 5 and the second magnetic component 6 are respectively disposed on the end faces of the corresponding components, so that they can directly contact each other when the magnetic force is engaged, thereby improving the magnetic force effect. The magnetic force should be sufficient to ensure that the corresponding components are engaged together, and also allow the operator to manually separate the two magnetically engaged components after the programming is completed.

[0043] Considering the shape and positioning of the motherboard to be tested, multiple positioning protrusions 31 are provided on the lower end surface of the pressure plate 3. The multiple positioning protrusions 31 are arranged at intervals to press and hold the upward-facing end of the motherboard to be tested on the movable plate 2. The multiple positioning protrusions 31 can be arranged along the circumferential direction, or they can be staggered according to the shape of the motherboard to be tested. The height of the multiple positioning protrusions 31 can be the same or different depending on the positioning position. This utility model does not limit this.

[0044] Meanwhile, considering the components of the motherboard to be tested, each positioning protrusion 31 can be fitted with an insulating flexible pad at its end.

[0045] Furthermore, a clearance hole 32 is provided in the middle of the pressure plate 3. The clearance hole 32 is used to partially expose the motherboard to be tested on the movable plate 2. It should be understood that, considering the different sizes of electronic components on the motherboard to be tested and the non-fixed shape of the product casing supporting the motherboard to be tested, the clearance hole 32 is designed to provide reasonable clearance and avoid pressure interference or damage to the product.

[0046] Based on the above embodiments, multiple positioning protrusions 31 are evenly arranged along the circumferential direction of the clearance hole 32, and the multiple positioning protrusions 31 have the same size.

[0047] To ensure the straight alignment of the upper template 1 and the pressure plate 3, the programming fixture 100 includes multiple guide posts 7. The lower ends of the multiple guide posts 7 are fixed to the movable plate 2, and the pressure plate 3 and the upper template 1 are slidably mounted on the multiple guide posts 7. The pressure plate 3 and the upper template 1 are provided with corresponding through holes for the guide posts 7 to pass through, and are guided by shaft holes. This application provides four guide posts 7, corresponding to the four corners of the movable plate 2 respectively.

[0048] It should be understood that, depending on the size and shape of the template, the number of guide posts 7 can be two, three, or even six, and this application does not impose any restrictions.

[0049] For further details, please refer to Figure 4 The mounting section includes a mounting boss 21 located in the middle of the movable plate 2. A groove 211 is provided on the side of the mounting boss 21 facing the upper template 1. The groove 211 is designed to fit the shape of the motherboard to be tested. The contoured design of the groove 211 helps ensure the positioning effect of the motherboard to be tested. For example, when the motherboard to be tested is a watch motherboard, the shape of the groove 211 corresponds to the outline of the watch.

[0050] It should be noted that the size of the mounting boss 21 on the horizontal plane is smaller than that of the pressure plate 3 and the movable plate 2, thus forming a stepped structure on the movable plate 2. Therefore, when the pressure plate 3 and the upper template 1 are pressed together with the movable plate 2, the pressure plate 3 and the movable plate 2 are separated by the mounting boss 21, forming a certain gap. By reasonably setting the size and thickness of the mounting boss 21 on the horizontal plane, after the burning is completed, it is easy for the operator to put his hand into the gap to pull the upper template 1 and the pressure plate 3 apart from the movable plate 2.

[0051] Based on the above embodiments, when setting the second magnetic chuck 6, the second magnetic chuck 6 should be set on the mounting boss 21.

[0052] Furthermore, the bottom of the groove 211 is provided with multiple spaced-apart limiting protrusions 22, each of which is used to insert into a corresponding positioning hole on the motherboard under test. This axial hole positioning mechanism prevents the motherboard under test from shifting. It should be understood that, to facilitate contact between the programming guide 4 and the motherboard under test, multiple through holes can be formed in the bottom wall of the groove 211 for the programming guide 4 to pass through; these through holes and the limiting protrusions 22 should be spaced apart.

[0053] In this embodiment, three limiting protrusions 22 are provided, and the line connecting the three limiting protrusions 22 forms a triangle, thereby forming a stable support limit.

[0054] It should be noted that the upper template 1 and / or the movable plate 2 and / or the pressure plate 3 are made of plastic. Plastic is lightweight, which helps reduce the volume of the burning fixture 100. In this embodiment, it is preferable that the upper template 1, the movable plate 2, and the pressure plate 3 are all made of acrylic sheets. Acrylic sheets are lightweight and transparent, which not only reduces the size of the fixture but also facilitates observation of the burning progress and status.

[0055] Taking the motherboard under test as a watch motherboard as an example, the working process of the programming jig 100 is as follows:

[0056] In the initial state, the movable pressure plate 3 or the upper template 1 is moved so that they are magnetically attracted together, leaving a large space. During the test, the watch motherboard is embedded in the contoured groove 211. During the test, the movable plate 2 and the watch motherboard remain stationary. The operator manually presses the upper template 1, causing the pressure plate 3 to continuously press down. During this process, the bottom of the pressure plate 3 and the top of the movable plate 2 are magnetically attracted together. At this time, the positioning protrusion 31 on the pressure plate 3 abuts against the watch motherboard, thus playing a fixing role. The programming connector 4 is aligned with the part of the watch motherboard that needs to be programmed. The external device is turned on and works according to the set program, so that the current flows through the programming connector 4 into the motherboard and enters the chip to complete the programming test.

[0057] This simple structure allows for miniaturization to fit product dimensions, enabling operators to quickly perform motherboard programming tests in the office area. This reduces investment in measurement and experimental equipment, minimizes the space required for measurement, and improves the utilization rate and testing efficiency of existing equipment, facilitating research.

[0058] The above are merely exemplary embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the technical concept of this utility model and the contents of the specification and drawings of this utility model, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
