[0027] As shown in Figure 1 and Figure 2 The embodiment provides a non-contact IC test seat clamp, which mainly comprises a base 100, a shell 300, a flip cover 210, a pull rod 220, a pressing plate 230 and a pre-tightening mechanism, and the parts are tightly matched to realize the non-contact operation function of the IC test seat. In the embodiment, the pre-tightening mechanism comprises a knob 410 and a transmission shaft 420.

[0028] Firstly, the base 100 serves as a basic support component of the whole clamp, and a connecting groove for placing a power module is arranged in the base 100. The size and shape of the connecting groove are matched with the power module to be tested, so that the power module can be stably placed and displacement is avoided during the test.

[0029] Secondly, an openable flip cover 210 is arranged above the base 100, and a buckle structure is arranged at the bottom of the flip cover 210. The flip cover 210 is connected with the shell 300 in a hinged manner, specifically: hinge lugs are arranged on both sides of the flip cover 210 and are matched with corresponding hinge seats on the shell 300; the position of the hinge axis is specially designed to ensure that the flip cover 210 can maintain a certain included angle when being fully opened, which is convenient for an operator to place and take out the power module and can prevent over-opening; a proper gap is designed at the hinge position to allow thermal expansion when the temperature changes, and the stability during opening and closing is ensured.

[0030] In order to realize non-contact operation, the embodiment designs a pull rod 220 connected with the buckle. One end of the pull rod 220 is reliably connected with the buckle, and the other end extends to the outside of the shell 300. When an operator needs to open or close the flip cover 210, the operator only needs to pull the end part of the pull rod 220 located outside, without directly contacting the clamp body in a high or low temperature environment.

[0031] Specifically, the connection between the pull rod 220 and the buckle adopts a special linkage structure: the buckle adopts an elastic hook structure and is reliably locked with the base 100 in a normal state; the pull rod 220 and the buckle are connected by a pin shaft to ensure that the force transmission direction is always along the axial direction of the pull rod; when the pull rod 220 is pulled, the linear motion is converted into a rotation unlocking action of the buckle through a connecting rod mechanism; the connecting mechanism is designed with a guide structure to prevent the pull rod 220 from deflecting during operation.

[0032] A pressing plate 230 is also arranged in the flip cover 210, which is fixed in the flip cover 210 through a carefully designed clamping structure and can move up and down in the vertical direction. The material and size of the pressing plate 230 are optimized and designed to ensure that it has sufficient strength to exert pressure and will not cause damage to the power module to be tested.

[0033] One of the core innovations of the embodiment is the design of the pre-tightening mechanism, which adopts a scheme driven by a knob 410 and mainly includes two parts.

[0034] The knob 410 as a driving component is arranged on the outer wall of the shell 300, which is convenient for an operator to control;

[0035] The transmission shaft 420 as a transmission component is arranged inside the shell 300, and the surface thereof is processed with a precision thread. The knob 410 and the transmission shaft 420 are connected through a belt transmission, which not only has stable transmission but also is convenient for maintenance and replacement.

[0036] The shell 300 is also specially designed with an internal thread matched with the thread of the transmission shaft 420, and the pitches and directions of the threads are accurately matched to ensure the stability during rotation. In particular, the axial direction of the transmission shaft 420 is strictly parallel to the movement direction of the pressing plate 230, which ensures that the pre-tightening force can be uniformly and accurately transmitted to the pressing plate 230.

[0037] The bottom surface of the pressing plate 230 is specially treated to ensure that the contact area with the power module is maximized; the thickness distribution of the pressing plate 230 is optimized to avoid deformation during pressure exertion; and the clamping structure between the pressing plate 230 and the flip cover 210 allows certain self-adaptive adjustment to ensure uniform distribution of pressure.

[0038] During work, the operator only needs to rotate the knob 410 located outside the shell 300, and the rotation of the knob 410 drives the transmission shaft 420 to rotate through the belt. Due to the thread cooperation between the transmission shaft 420 and the inner wall of the shell 300, the transmission shaft 420 will descend with rotation and then push the pressing plate 230 to move downward, finally exerting stable pre-tightening force on the power module. This pre-tightening method is not only simple to operate but also can accurately control the pressure through the rotation angle of the knob 410.

[0039] The knob 410 drives the transmission shaft 420 to rotate through the belt, realizing the transmission of torque; the thread on the transmission shaft 420 cooperates with the internal thread of the inner wall of the shell 300 to convert the rotary motion into axial motion; the axial motion of the transmission shaft 420 directly acts on the pressing plate 230 to ensure that the pressure is uniformly exerted in the vertical direction; and the clearances and cooperation in the whole transmission chain are optimized to ensure not only the flexibility of movement but also the stability of pressure transmission.

[0040] Distinguishing from the prior art, the utility model embodiment opens and closes the cover through the pull rod, and controls the transmission shaft in the shell by means of the knob, and then provides pressure to the pressing plate to fix the power module, does not need to wait for the temperature change of equipment to replace the power module, significantly shortens the test time, thereby improves test efficiency, reduces the risk of injury of staff directly contacting the clamp in the high-low temperature box, avoids frequent temperature change, reduces the damage to the power module, and also can reduce the failure rate in the replacement process of the power module. In addition, mechanical operation is adopted, manual intervention is reduced, and labor cost is reduced.

[0041] Further, the application embodiment provides another non-contact IC test seat clamp, as shown in Figure 3 and Figure 4 The embodiment innovatively improves the pre-tightening mechanism while keeping the basic structure of the base 100, the cover 210 and the pull rod in embodiment 1, and adopts a pre-tightening scheme of the pressure plate 430 based on the ratchet 450 and the spring 440.

[0042] In the embodiment, the driving part of the pre-tightening mechanism is a fixedly arranged ratchet 450, which is carefully designed to ensure convenient operation and not to affect the normal work of other parts. The transmission part includes three key elements: the spring 440 arranged in the shell 300, the pressure plate 430 fixed in the spring 440, and the belt connecting the pressure plate 430 and the ratchet 450.

[0043] Among them, the selection of the spring 440 is particularly critical, and its elastic coefficient needs to match the expected pre-tightening force. The pressure plate 430 is fixed in the middle of the spring 440 and plays a role in force transmission and dispersion. The arrangement of the belt is also very clever. It needs to pass through the small hole on the side wall of the base 100 and the side hole on the side wall of the shell 300 in turn, and finally wrap around the ratchet 450. This arrangement seems complex, but it is carefully calculated to ensure the optimization of the transmission path.

[0044] In order to facilitate operation and control, the embodiment also specially designs an unlocking mechanism, as shown in Figure 5 The mechanism mainly consists of three parts: the ratchet buckle 453 and the ratchet spring 454 arranged on the ratchet 450, and the ratchet pull rod 452 connected with the ratchet spring 454. The ratchet pull rod 452 also extends to the outside of the shell 300, which is convenient for the operator to control.

[0045] The working process can be divided into two stages: pre-tightening and unlocking.

[0046] When pre-tightening, the fixed ratchet wheel 450 is stretched to tighten the belt, and the tension of the belt is transmitted to the spring 440 through the pressure plate 430, so that the spring 440 is compressed, thereby exerting downward pressure on the pressure plate 230. The ratchet structure of the ratchet wheel 450 can ensure self-locking in the pre-tightening state, without the need for continuous external force.

[0047] The ratchet wheel 450 and the pawl constitute a one-way transmission mechanism, which can prevent accidental release of the pre-tightening force; the arrangement of the belt around the base hole and the shell side hole ensures that the force transmission path is the shortest and most stable; the compression deformation of the spring 440 provides a continuous and stable pre-tightening force, which compensates for the size changes caused by temperature changes.

[0048] When unlocking, only the ratchet lever 452 extending to the outside of the shell 300 needs to be pulled, the ratchet spring 453 is compressed by the ratchet buckle 452, the ratchet buckle 454 is driven to make the ratchet wheel 450 rotate, and the locking state of the ratchet wheel 450 is released. Under the action of the springback force of the spring 440, the entire mechanism will automatically return to the initial position.

[0049] Unlike the prior art, the utility model embodiment opens and closes the flip cover through the pull rod, and the pressure plate in the shell is controlled by means of the ratchet wheel, so that the spring in the shell is compressed, thereby providing pressure to the pressure plate to fix the power module. Without waiting for the temperature change of the equipment to replace the power module, the test time is significantly shortened, thereby improving the test efficiency, reducing the risk of injury caused by the direct contact of the workers with the clamp in the high and low temperature box, avoiding frequent temperature changes, reducing damage to the power module, and also reducing the failure rate during the replacement process of the power module. In addition, mechanical operation is adopted, manual intervention is reduced, and labor cost is reduced.

[0050] It should be noted that the specification and drawings of the utility model give a preferred embodiment of the utility model, but the utility model can be realized in many different forms, and is not limited to the embodiments described in the specification. These embodiments are not additional limitations on the content of the utility model, and the purpose of providing these embodiments is to make the disclosure of the utility model more thorough and comprehensive. Furthermore, the above technical features continue to combine to form various embodiments not listed above, which are considered to be within the scope of the utility model specification; further, those skilled in the art can improve or change according to the above description, and all these improvements and changes should be within the protection scope of the claims of the utility model.
