Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of display screen testing technology, specifically a display screen FPC testing fixture. Background Technology

[0002] A display screen FPC test fixture is a tool specifically designed for testing and verifying the FPC circuit boards in a display screen. It is primarily used for testing the electrical performance of FPC circuit boards in displays, including but not limited to mobile phone screens, LCDs, and TFT displays. This fixture can perform comprehensive testing and verification of FPC circuit boards, including resistance testing, continuity testing, and insulation testing, to ensure they meet design requirements and standards.

[0003] For example, Chinese patent CN221746224U, entitled "A Test Fixture for Display Screen FPC", includes a placement frame. The placement frame includes a frame body and a placement plate disposed on one side of the frame body. A limiting groove is formed on the placement plate. A mounting plate is provided on the side of the frame body near the limiting groove. A testing mechanism is provided on the mounting plate. A connecting groove is provided on the side of the placement plate near the limiting groove. The testing mechanism is correspondingly disposed with the connecting groove. The display screen FPC test fixture also includes a base disposed on the lower side of the placement frame. The placement frame is rotatably disposed on the base via a rotating shaft. The testing mechanism includes a test probe module disposed on the mounting plate and a test connector disposed on the mounting plate.

[0004] While the existing technologies can test FPCs for displays, in practical use, the test fixtures are not well adapted to different FPCs. The clamping mechanisms at the FPC connections are usually fixed, making it difficult for different FPC models to adapt to the clamping structure. Furthermore, the test fixtures are not designed to secure the FPCs properly. Typically, the FPCs are placed on a platform and secured only at the connections, which can lead to tearing under external force, affecting test results. Therefore, these technologies do not meet current requirements. To address this, we propose a new FPC test fixture for displays. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this utility model is to provide a test fixture for display screen FPCs to solve the problems mentioned in the background art, such as the poor adaptability of the test fixture to different display screen FPCs and the difficulty in fixing the display screen FPCs with the test fixture.

[0013] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are:

[0014] (1) This utility model can fix different models of display screen FPC and test FPC by means of a movable seat and a pull rod. When fixing the connection between the display screen FPC and the test FPC, the display screen FPC and the test FPC are placed on the placement table and the movable seat respectively. At this time, the servo motor is turned on, and the output shaft of the servo motor drives the lead screw to rotate. The rotation of the lead screw drives the movable seat to move until the movable seat is moved to a suitable position. At this time, the operator pulls the pull rod upward, so that the pull rod drives the extrusion plate to move upward on the second mounting bracket. At the same time, the second spring is in a compressed state. Then the display screen FPC and the test FPC are placed below the extrusion plate and connected. At this time, the pull rod is released, the second spring is reset and drives the extrusion plate to move downward until the lower end of the extrusion plate extrudes the connection between the display screen FPC and the test FPC, thereby improving the adaptability of the test fixture to different display screen FPCs.

[0015] (2) This utility model can clamp and fix the display screen FPC by means of the first spring and the spring plate. When fixing the display screen FPC, first rotate the first bolt so that the first bolt moves upward in the threaded hole through the external thread. At this time, the compression and fixation of the spring plate is released and the spring plate is rotated to a suitable position. Then, the display screen FPC is placed on the upper end of the placement platform and the spring plate is rotated again so that the spring plate is above the display screen FPC. At this time, rotate the first bolt so that the first bolt moves downward in the threaded hole and the operator keeps the position of the spring plate unchanged. At this time, the first bolt compresses the spring plate, and at the same time, the lower end of the spring plate compresses the first spring, so that the spring plate clamps and fixes the display screen FPC on the upper end of the placement platform, thereby reducing the possibility of the display screen FPC tearing under the action of external force.

[0016] (3) This utility model can position the test FPC using a positioning plate and a second bolt. Before testing, the position of the positioning plate is adjusted according to the size of the test FPC. At this time, the operator rotates the two second bolts at the same time, so that the second bolts move on the fixed seat through the external threads. At the same time, one end of the second bolt rotates on the positioning plate and drives the positioning plate to slide on the moving seat until the positioning plate is moved to the appropriate position. Then the test FPC is placed between the positioning plates. The second bolts are rotated again, and the positioning plates are moved towards each other until the side wall of the positioning plate contacts the test FPC, thereby improving the efficiency of the display screen FPC test.
