[0032] Please refer to Figures 1 to 3This embodiment discloses an ICT testing adapter fixture, including a fixture base frame 100, an adapter panel 200, an interface pin plate 300, and an adapter carrier plate 400. An interface plate 110 is mounted on the bottom of the fixture base frame 100, and the interface plate 110 has multiple first pin holes 111. The adapter panel 200 covers the fixture base frame 100. The interface pin plate 300 is mounted on the adapter panel 200 and has a first duct connector 310, a second duct connector 320, and multiple second pin holes 311. The adapter carrier plate 400 is mounted on the interface pin plate 300 and includes a first carrier plate 410 and a second carrier plate 420. The first carrier plate 410 is located above the first duct connector 310, and the second carrier plate 420 is located above the second duct connector 320. Both the first carrier plate 410 and the second carrier plate 420 have multiple probe slots 411. Based on the lower mold of the original test fixture of the ICT test machine, an ICT test adapter fixture is designed on the top. This ICT test adapter fixture then interfaces with the lower mold interfaces of other types of test fixtures. The interface board 110 is connected to the ICT test machine to form a signal conduction. The PCB board to be tested is placed on the first carrier board 410 and the second carrier board 420. The first air pipe connector 310 and the second air pipe connector 320 are opened to create a vacuum and attract the PCB board to be tested. The test fixture descends, causing the adapter carrier board 400 to press down. The probes of the ICT test machine pass through the first pin hole 111 and the second pin hole 311 to form a signal conduction between the interface pin plate 300 and the interface board 110. The probes pass through the interface pin plate 300 to contact the PCB board to be tested, thereby performing ICT testing on the PCB board to be tested. It should be noted that the number and position of the second pin holes 311 on the interface pin plate 300 are set according to the required adapter test fixture. By using this ICT test adapter, other types of test fixtures can be tested on the ICT test machine, realizing the compatibility of the ICT test machine with multiple test fixtures, improving compatibility and reducing testing costs.

[0033] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 4 The fixture base frame 100 includes a base plate 120 and a perimeter 130. The base plate 120 is provided with a first clearance opening 121, the size of which is adapted to the size of the interface plate 110. The perimeter 130 is installed around the base plate 120. The perimeter 130 installed around the perimeter enhances the overall stability of the fixture base frame 100 and forms a receiving space. The first clearance opening 121 on the base plate 120 is adapted to the size of the interface plate 110 so that the probe can pass through the first pinhole 111, and the interface pin plate 300 and the interface plate 110 form a signal conduction connection, which facilitates ICT testing.

[0034] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3The base plate 120 is provided with an air outlet 122. The air outlet 122 on the base plate 120 enables gas circulation, keeps the internal environment of the tooling base frame 100 unobstructed and stable, and avoids problems such as excessive gas pressure caused by accumulation.

[0035] Please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 Handles 140 are installed on both sides of the tooling base frame 100. The handles on both sides of the tooling base frame 100 make operation more convenient, allowing the tooling base frame 100 to be moved easily, thereby improving efficiency and safety.

[0036] Please refer to Figure 4 and Figure 5 The adapter panel 200 is provided with a second clearance opening 210 and a limiting block 220. The size of the second clearance opening 210 is adapted to the size of the interface pin plate 300, and the limiting block 220 is located on both sides of the second clearance opening 210. The interface pin plate 300 is adapted to the size of the second clearance opening 210 so that the probe can pass through the first pin hole 111, the second pin hole 311, and the probe slot 411. The interface pin plate 300 and the interface board 110 form a signal conduction, and the probe passes through the interface pin plate 300 to contact the PCB board under test, which facilitates ICT testing. When the PCB board under test is placed on the first carrier board 410 and the second carrier board 420, the limiting block 220 acts as a limiting device.

[0037] Please refer to Figure 4 The adapter panel 200 is equipped with a guide rail 230, and a limiting block 220 is mounted on the guide rail 230. The limiting block 220 can slide along the guide rail 230, making it easy to adjust the position of the limiting block 220.

[0038] Please refer to Figure 5 The adapter panel 200 is equipped with a third air pipe connector 240. The ICT test fixture is vacuumed and attracted through the third air pipe connector 240.

[0039] Please refer to Figure 6 The interface needle plate 300 is provided with a first sealing groove 330 and a second sealing groove 340. The first sealing groove 330 and the second sealing groove 340 are used to attach leak-proof sponge to avoid vacuum leakage.

[0040] Please refer to Figure 6 and Figure 7The interface pin plate 300 is provided with multiple positioning holes 312, and the adapter carrier plate 400 is provided with multiple guide posts 412. The positions of the guide posts 412 are adapted to the positions of the positioning holes 312. The interface pin plate 300 has multiple pre-set positioning holes 312, while the adapter carrier plate 400 has multiple guide posts 412. The positions of these guide posts 412 are adapted to the arrangement of the positioning holes 312, so that when the adapter carrier plate 400 and the interface pin plate 300 are attached, the guide posts 412 can be aligned with the positioning holes 312, completing a fast and accurate assembly. The guide posts 412 are also adapted to the guide sleeves of the test fixture, and play a guiding role when the test fixture descends and attaches with the ICT test adapter fixture.

[0041] This embodiment also discloses an ICT testing machine, including the aforementioned ICT testing adapter.

[0042] An ICT test adapter is designed based on the lower mold of the existing test fixture (e.g., the TS128 test fixture) of the ICT test equipment (e.g., the TS128 test equipment). This ICT test adapter then interfaces with the lower mold interfaces of other types of test fixtures (e.g., the TSO52 test fixture). By using this ICT test adapter, it is possible to test other types of test fixtures on the ICT test equipment, achieving compatibility of the ICT test equipment with multiple test fixtures, improving compatibility, and reducing testing costs.

[0043] During testing, the ICT test adapter fixture is first placed into the ICT test machine, and the interface board 110 is connected to the ICT test machine to establish signal conduction. Other types of test fixtures are placed on the ICT test adapter fixture, and then the PCB board to be tested is placed on the first carrier board 410 and the second carrier board 420. The first air pipe connector 310 and the second air pipe connector 320 are opened to create a vacuum and attract the PCB board to be tested. The test fixture descends, causing the adapter carrier board 400 to press down. The probes of the ICT test machine pass through the first pinhole 111 and the second pinhole 311, so that the interface pin plate 300 and the interface board 110 establish signal conduction. The probes pass through the interface pin plate 300 to contact the PCB board to be tested, thereby performing ICT testing on the PCB board. The embodiments of this utility model have been described in detail above with reference to the accompanying drawings. However, this utility model is not limited to the above embodiments. Within the scope of knowledge possessed by those skilled in the art, various changes can be made without departing from the spirit of this utility model.
