[0002] Circuit boards, also known as printed circuit boards or PCBs, require testing during the manufacturing process. Probe testing is an indispensable part of this process, as it is used not only to detect open circuits and short circuits but also to test the functionality of the circuit board.
[0003] Currently, when performing probe testing on circuit boards, the circuit board is usually placed in a testing fixture first, and then the power supply terminals are manually connected to the interfaces on the circuit board. The switch on the circuit board is then manually turned on, and the bed of needles is operated to test the circuit board. This testing method requires manual operation at every step, resulting in low testing efficiency and affecting production efficiency. Furthermore, due to the manual operation of the bed of needles, the pressure is unstable, which may lead to inaccurate testing and, in severe cases, damage to the circuit board. Utility Model Content

[0026] like Figure 1 , Figure 2 As shown, the circuit board testing device includes a support frame 1, a drive device 2, a pressure detection device 3, a plug-in device 4, a switch device 5, and a needle bed 6. The drive device 2 is vertically mounted on the top of the support frame 1, the pressure detection device 3 is mounted on the working end of the drive device 2, the needle bed 6 is mounted away from the bottom of the pressure detection device 3, and the plug-in device 4 and the switch device 5 are respectively mounted on the needle bed 6.
[0027] The pressure detection device 3 includes a fixed plate 31, guide pillars 32, a movable plate 33, and a pressure sensor 34. The fixed plate 31 is horizontally positioned at the working end of the drive device 2. There are four guide pillars 32, which are respectively positioned on the bottom surface of the fixed plate 31. The movable plate 33 is slidably positioned on the four guide pillars 32. Each guide pillar 32 is fitted with a spring 35, and the two ends of the spring 35 abut against the fixed plate 31 and the movable plate 33 respectively, for resetting the movable plate 33. The pressure sensor 34 is positioned on the top of the movable plate 33. Each guide pillar 32 has a limit platform at its bottom end to limit the movement of the movable plate 33.
[0028] During operation, the circuit board to be tested is placed at the bottom of the support frame 1. The drive device 2 drives the pressure detection device 3 and the needle bed 6 to move downward. After the needle bed 6 contacts the circuit board, it pushes the movable plate 33 to move upward along the guide post 32, so that the pressure sensor 34 and the fixed plate 31 come into contact and generate pressure. When the pressure value reaches the preset value, the drive device 2 stops moving. The plug-in device 4 is connected to the circuit board and supplies power to the circuit board. The switch device 5 controls the power switch on the circuit board. The probe at the bottom of the needle bed 6 tests the circuit board.
[0029] This application uses a drive device 2 to drive the pressure detection device 3 and the needle bed 6 to move downwards synchronously. The pressure sensor 34 detects the pressure between the movable plate 33 and the fixed plate 31, avoiding the problem of unstable pressure caused by manual operation of the needle bed 6, which can easily lead to inaccurate detection and damage to the circuit board. The plug-in device 4 and the switch device 5 control the power supply and switching of the circuit board, avoiding manual intervention, improving detection efficiency, and thus improving production efficiency.

The connecting frame 24 vertically penetrates and slides through the top of the support frame 1, and is spirally connected to the screw 23. The fixing plate 31 is horizontally mounted on the bottom of the connecting frame 24.
[0031] During operation, the servo motor 22 drives the screw 23 to rotate, and the rotation of the screw 23 pushes the connecting frame 24 to move downward, which in turn drives the pressure detection device 3 and the needle bed 6 to move downward simultaneously through the fixing plate 31.
[0032] In one embodiment, such as Figure 4 As shown, the insertion / removal device 4 includes a first cylinder 41, a mounting base 42, and a power supply terminal 43.

[0034] During operation, the second cylinder 51 drives the slide rail 53 to slide within the slide block 52 via the connecting plate 55. The slide rail 53 drives the control board 54 to toggle the switch on the circuit board to energize the circuit board.
[0035] In one embodiment, such as Figure 3 As shown, the drive device 2 also includes two guide rails 25, which are symmetrically arranged on both sides of the support 21. The connecting frame 24 is slidably connected to the two guide rails 25 respectively. The guide rails 25 keep the operation of the connecting frame 24 stable.
[0036] In one embodiment, such as Figure 2 As shown, a probe mounting plate 61 is horizontally arranged on the bottom surface of the needle bed 6, and multiple detection probes 62 are arranged on the probe mounting plate 61; the probe mounting plate 61 is detachably connected to the needle bed 6, which facilitates the replacement of the detection probes 62.
[0037] In one embodiment, such as Figure 1 , Figure 6As shown, the circuit board testing device also includes a testing fixture 7, which is positioned below the support frame 1 corresponding to the needle bed 6.
