[0045] Based on the above embodiments, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 1 As shown, the conveying device includes a conveying carrier 7 and a cable fixing block 3 engaged with the conveying carrier 7. A first cable groove 5 is provided between the conveying carrier 7 and the cable fixing block 3. Preferably, the cable fixing block 3 is embedded in the conveying carrier 7, and a first cable groove 5 is provided on each of the two sides of the cable fixing block 3. A guide slope is provided on the conveying carrier 7 at the opening of the first cable groove 5.

[0046] Specifically, the conveying carrier 7 has a positioning groove for the product body 1 on the side away from the cable fixing block 3. At least a portion of the product body 1 can be embedded and positioned in the positioning groove for positioning the product body 1.

[0047] The first cable groove 5 is located near the end of the product cable 2 for positioning and fixing. The end of the product cable 2 away from the product body is the free end 12; the transmission carrier 7 is also provided with a free end receiving groove for accommodating the free end 12; the free end receiving groove, the first cable groove 5, and the first cable receiving groove are on the same straight line.

[0048] Preferably, the cable fixing block 3 is made of elastic materials such as elastic rubber or elastic plastic, used to clamp the part of the product cable 2 near the free end 12 of the cable. This provides precise positioning for the handling device and prevents misalignment of the product cable 2.

[0049] Based on the above embodiments, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the clamping reference member 17 is provided with a first reference portion 16 and a second reference portion 19 adapted to clamp the product cable 2. A first clearance space is formed between the first reference portion 16 and the second reference portion 19. The clamping movable member 14 is provided with a first clamping portion 18 and a second clamping portion 20 adapted to clamp the product cable 2. A second clearance space is formed between the first clamping portion 18 and the second clamping portion 20.

[0050] The first clearance space and the second clearance space are adapted to accommodate the first cable groove 5 and the second cable groove 23. The first reference portion 16 and the first clamping portion 18 are adapted to extend into the first clamping space 4 and the third clamping space 24. The second reference portion 19 and the second clamping portion 20 are adapted to extend into the second clamping space 6 and the fourth clamping space 22.

[0051] Specifically, the spaced-apart first reference part 16 and second reference part 19, as well as the spaced-apart first clamping part 18 and second clamping part 20, can clamp the product cable 2 from both sides of the cable fixing block 3. This part of the cable can be embedded into the second cable slot 23 of the testing device for product testing, thereby realizing automatic insertion of products with cables, which greatly improves production efficiency and accuracy.

[0052] Based on the above embodiments, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the cable clamping assembly further includes two cable limiting blocks 15 respectively engaged with the first reference portion 16 and the second reference portion 19. The cable limiting blocks 15 are adapted to limit the highest position of the product cable 2. The first clamping portion 18 and the second clamping portion 20 are respectively sleeved on the cable limiting blocks 15. A positioning and clamping space for the product cable 2 is formed between the clamping reference member 17, the clamping movable member 14 and the cable limiting blocks 15.

[0053] Preferably, the cable limiting block 15 is a pin, and the clamping part is slidably fitted onto the cable limiting block 15. The pin limits the product cable 2, preventing the free end 12 of the product cable 2 from tilting upwards. Then, the clamping movable part 14 clamps the free end 12 of the product cable 2 onto the clamping reference part 17. This completes the transfer and positioning of the product with cable. The product body 1 is also clamped and fixed by the body clamping assembly, thereby maintaining the positional consistency between the product body 1 and the product cable 2.

[0054] Based on the above embodiments, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, there are two clamping movable parts 14, respectively disposed on both sides of the clamping reference part 17. They are used to clamp the product cable 2 to the clamping reference part 17 from two directions. Preferably, the bottom of the first reference part 16 and the second reference part 19 is lower than the bottom of the first clamping part 18 and the second clamping part 20, and they are provided with guide slopes.

[0055] In this embodiment, the product cable 2 of the cable-bearing product is in the form of two cables, which can be clamped by two clamping movable parts 14. The guide ramp can guide the product cable 2 to move to both sides of the first reference part 16 and the second reference part 19 and be clamped by the first clamping part 18 and the second clamping part 20, so as not to be directly pressed down by the first reference part 16 and the second reference part 19.

[0056] Based on the above embodiments, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the body clamping assembly includes a body limiting block 9, a first body gripper 11 and a second body gripper 10 adapted to be positioned close to and away from each other, and a second driving member 8 for driving the first body gripper 11 and the second body gripper 10 to move close to and away from each other. The first body gripper 11 is provided with a third clearance space for accommodating the product cable 2, adapted to clamping from the side of the product on which the cable is located. The body limiting block 9 is adapted to abut against the top of the product body 1.

[0057] In this embodiment, the product is clamped from the side where the cable is located. In other embodiments, the product can be clamped from any angle, and in some clamping directions, a third clearance space may not be provided; this invention does not specifically limit this. The main body limiting block 9 prevents the product body 1 from shifting during clamping, thus avoiding failure to clamp or clamping at an angle. Preferably, the first driving member and the second driving member 8 are pneumatic fingers.

[0058] Based on the above embodiments, in an optional embodiment of the present invention, such as... Figure 4 As shown, the clamping block 25 is hinged to the positioning base 26. The test assembly also includes a first elastic member engaged with the clamping block 25. The first elastic member is adapted to provide a driving force for the clamping block 25 to clamp toward the second cable groove 23. Preferably, the positioning assembly 21 includes a plurality of positioning pins disposed on the test base 27. The clamping block 25 is made of conductive metal. The test base 27 and the positioning base 26 are made of insulating material.

[0059] In this embodiment, the product has two product cables 2. Therefore, two clamping blocks 25 are hinged to a positioning base 26, and each clamping block 25 is used to clamp one product cable 2. Each product cable 2 is clamped by an independent clamping block 25. The independent clamping block 25, together with the insulated base, enables the fixture to have the function of power-on detection.

[0060] In an optional embodiment, the cable clamping assembly is provided with a clamping drive 13 that is lower than the clamping reference member 17 and the clamping movable member 14. This drive 13 abuts against the clamping block 25 during the descent of the transport device as it inserts the product cable 2 into the testing device, driving the clamping block 25 to the open position. The cable clamping assembly then continues downward, embedding the product cable 2 into the second cable slot 23. In other embodiments, the clamping block 25 can be driven by an external drive structure, eliminating the need for synchronous drive via the cable clamping assembly.

[0061] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model. Various modifications and variations can be made to this utility model by those skilled in the art. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, or improvements made within the spirit and principles of this utility model should be included within the protection scope of this utility model.
