Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of connector testing technology, and in particular relates to a connector carrier and a testing device having the carrier. Background Technology
[0002] Electronic connectors, also known as circuit connectors or electrical connectors, are devices that bridge two conductors in a circuit, allowing current or signals to flow from one conductor to the other. In the connector manufacturing process, visual defect detection is an important inspection item.
[0003] In existing connector testing, production workers typically place a product on a carrier, but this is prone to misalignment or displacement. A CCD camera is used to photograph the product, and the image is transmitted to a defect detection terminal for defect identification and analysis. However, because the connector cannot be accurately positioned, the testing accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Utility Model Content
[0004] The main technical problem solved by this utility model is to provide a connector carrier and a testing device with the carrier, which can accurately position the connector and ensure the testing accuracy of the connector.
[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a connector carrier, including a base and a pressure rod, wherein the pressure rod is rotatably connected to the base, the base is fixed to a workbench, and two limiting plates are fixed on the upper surface of the base. The two limiting plates are respectively located on both sides of the connector, and the two limiting plates and the base together form a carrier groove. The connector has protrusions on both sides, and the limiting plates have limiting grooves that match the protrusions to limit the connector in the horizontal direction.
[0006] The carrier is provided with a connecting hole, and a pin passes through the connecting hole and a pressure rod to make the pressure rod rotatably connected to the carrier. The carrier is equipped with a magnetic block, and the pressure rod is a metal pressure rod that can be attracted by the magnetic block to press the connector.
[0007] A clamping mechanism is provided above the carrier. The clamping mechanism includes a pressure block and a clamping cylinder that drives the pressure block to press down. The pressure block is connected to the clamping cylinder, and the clamping cylinder is fixed to the mounting frame.
[0008] Furthermore, the workbench is equipped with a forward and backward moving cylinder that drives the mounting bracket to move back and forth. The forward and backward moving cylinder is connected to the mounting bracket to prevent the connector from moving, accurately position the connector, and ensure the detection accuracy of the connector's pins.
[0009] This utility model also provides a testing device with a connector carrier, including a carrier and a testing mechanism. The carrier is provided in two parts. The testing mechanism includes a camera for testing the PIN pins of the connector, a front-back drive mechanism for driving the camera to move back and forth, and a left-right drive mechanism for driving the camera to move left and right. The front-back drive mechanism and the left-right drive mechanism move the camera in the front-back and left-right directions to ensure testing accuracy.
[0010] Furthermore, the left and right drive mechanism includes a movable seat and left and right drive motors that drive the movable seat to move left and right. The left and right drive motors are fixed to the worktable and are connected to left and right lead screws. The left and right lead screws are threadedly connected to the movable seat.
[0011] Furthermore, the front and rear drive mechanism includes a mounting base and a front and rear drive motor that drives the mounting base to move back and forth. The front and rear drive motor is fixed to the movable base and is connected to a front and rear lead screw. The front and rear lead screw is threadedly connected to the mounting base, and the camera is mounted on the mounting base.
[0012] Furthermore, the mounting bracket is equipped with a backplate, and the carrier is located between the backplate and the detection mechanism.
[0013] Furthermore, a carrier board for placing connector cables and a display are mounted above the workbench.
[0014] The beneficial effects of this utility model are at least as follows:
[0015] This utility model relates to a pressure rod rotatably connected to a carrier, which is fixed to a worktable. Two limiting plates are fixed on the upper surface of the carrier, located on both sides of the connector. The two limiting plates and the carrier together form a carrier groove. The connector has protrusions on both sides, and the limiting plates have limiting grooves that match the protrusions, thereby limiting the connector in the horizontal direction. A pin passes through a connecting hole and the pressure rod so that the pressure rod is rotatably connected to the carrier. The carrier is equipped with a magnetic block, and the pressure rod is a metal pressure rod that can be attracted by the magnetic block to press the connector, thereby preventing the connector from moving and ensuring accurate positioning of the connector and ensuring the detection accuracy of the connector's pins. It is worth mentioning that a clamping mechanism is provided above the carrier. The clamping mechanism includes a pressure block and a clamping cylinder that drives the pressure block to press down. The pressure block is connected to the clamping cylinder, which is fixed to the mounting bracket to further clamp the pressure rod and prevent the connector from shifting and affecting the detection accuracy.
[0016] The detection mechanism of this utility model includes a camera for detecting the PIN pins of a connector, a front-back drive mechanism for driving the camera to move back and forth, and a left-right drive mechanism for driving the camera to move left and right. The front-back drive mechanism and the left-right drive mechanism move the camera in the front-back and left-right directions to ensure detection accuracy. Attached Figure Description
