Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of diode testing technology, and specifically relates to a diode energization testing device. Background Technology
[0002] In the research, development, production, and maintenance of electronic equipment, diodes are a fundamental and crucial electronic component, and their performance testing is of paramount importance. Traditional diode conduction testing methods mostly rely on operators holding test leads and making contact between the metal probes and the diode leads to establish an electrical connection. This method has several drawbacks. For example, prolonged hand holding of the test leads can easily lead to hand fatigue, resulting in unstable contact between the test leads and the diode leads. This can cause frequent brief separations or poor contact between the test leads and the diode leads, thus affecting the accuracy of the test results. Utility Model Content
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to provide a diode energization testing device that can directly position the test probe on the outside of the diode's rod-shaped electrode by clamping, thereby improving the electrical connection stability between the test probe and the diode, freeing the user's hands during the measurement process, and facilitating the user's measurement operation.
[0004] The specific technical solution adopted by this utility model is as follows:
[0005] A diode conduction testing device includes a multimeter body. The multimeter body is electrically connected to two test probes via wires. Each test probe includes a probe body, with a metal probe rod mounted at one end. A C-shaped spring clip is fixedly connected to one end of the metal probe rod. Clamping plates are fixedly connected to both ends of the C-shaped spring clip. Conductive parts electrically connected to the multimeter body are fixedly connected to the sides of the two clamping plates that are close to each other.

The fixed clamping protrusion is fixedly connected to the lower part of one side of the clamping plate, and the movable clamping protrusion is installed on the upper side of the fixed clamping protrusion through a vertical moving assembly.

[0017] To make the objectives and advantages of this utility model clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with embodiments. It should be understood that the following text is merely used to describe one or more specific embodiments of this utility model and does not strictly limit the scope of protection specifically claimed by this utility model.
[0018] like Figures 1-3 As shown, a diode energization test device includes a multimeter body 1, and the multimeter body 1 is electrically connected to two test probes 2 via wires.
[0019] Forward conduction test principle:
[0020] The multimeter body 1 has a DC power supply inside. When measuring the forward characteristics of a diode, the positive terminal of the power supply inside the multimeter body 1 is connected to the anode of the diode and the negative terminal is connected to the cathode of the diode through the test probe 2, so as to provide a forward voltage to the diode.
[0021] When the forward voltage reaches the diode's forward voltage, the diode begins to conduct, forming a forward current. The measuring circuit in the multimeter body 1 can detect this current and convert the current signal into a corresponding voltage signal based on parameters such as the resistance in the circuit.
[0022] When the diode is conducting, the multimeter body 1 will measure the voltage drop across the diode, i.e., the forward voltage drop. Since the forward characteristic curve of a diode has a certain slope, the forward voltage drop of different types of diodes is relatively fixed when conducting. By measuring the forward voltage drop, the type of diode and whether it is working properly can be determined. For example, when a normal silicon diode is conducting, its forward voltage drop is usually between 0.6V and 0.7V. If the measured value deviates too much from this range, it may indicate that the diode is faulty.
[0023] Reverse cutoff test principle:
[0024] Connect the positive terminal of the internal power supply of the multimeter body 1 to the cathode of the diode and the negative terminal to the anode of the diode to apply a reverse voltage to the diode;
[0025] Ideally, a diode is in the cutoff state under reverse voltage, with only a tiny reverse leakage current flowing through it. The measuring circuit of the multimeter body 1 can detect this tiny current and display the corresponding value. Generally speaking, the reverse leakage current of a normal diode is very small, usually in the microamp (μA) or even nanoamp (nA) range.
[0026] If the measured reverse current is too large and exceeds the normal reverse leakage current range of this type of diode, it indicates that the reverse characteristics of the diode may be poor, and there may be problems such as reverse leakage or breakdown.
[0027] The above-mentioned parts are mature existing technologies, and will not be described in detail in this technical solution.
[0028] The core of this technical solution lies in the structural improvement of the test probe 2, specifically as follows: Figures 1-3As shown, the test probe 2 includes a probe body 3. One end of the probe body 3 is equipped with a metal probe rod 4, which can be installed in a fixed connection or a rotating connection. One end of the metal probe rod 4 is fixedly connected to a C-shaped spring clip 5. Both ends of the C-shaped spring clip 5 are fixedly connected to clamping plates 6. The C-shaped spring clip 5 and the clamping plates 6 form a U-shaped structure. The sides of the two clamping plates 6 that are close to each other are fixedly connected to conductive parts that are electrically connected to the multimeter body 1. At this time, the two ends of the C-shaped spring clip 5 apply a force to the clamping plates 6, allowing the two clamping plates 6 to clamp the rod-shaped electrode of the diode, improving the electrical connection stability between the test probe 2 and the diode, and allowing the test probe 2 to be directly positioned by clamping. This frees the user's hands during the measurement process and facilitates the user's measurement operation.
[0029] Among them, the C-shaped elastic clip 5 can be a U-shaped structure, and its material can be copper, plastic, etc., which have elastic restoring properties.
[0030] Furthermore, the cross-section of the clamping plate 6 is a flat rectangular structure. Compared with the circular clamping plate 6, the rectangular clamping plate 6 can stably clamp the outside of the rod-shaped electrode of the diode.
[0031] like Figures 2-3 As shown, the conductive part includes two clamping protrusions installed on the inner wall of the clamping plate 6. The two clamping protrusions are arranged vertically, and the longitudinal cross-sectional dimension of the clamping protrusions gradually decreases from the side closer to the clamping plate 6 to the side farther away from the clamping plate 6, so that the upper and lower sides of the clamping protrusions form inclined surfaces. At this time, when the two clamping plates 6 are located on the upper side of the rod-shaped electrode of the diode, pressing the test probe 2 downward with force will cause the two fixed clamping protrusions 7 to drive the two clamping plates 6 to expand under the pushing force until the rod-shaped electrode of the diode enters between the four clamping protrusions. The rod-shaped electrode of the diode can be stably clamped by the four clamping protrusions, and the four clamping protrusions can be clamped on the outside of the rod-shaped electrode of the diode in a relatively convenient way.
[0032] The two clamping protrusions on the same clamping plate 6 are a fixed clamping protrusion 7 and a movable clamping protrusion 8. The fixed clamping protrusion 7 is fixedly connected to the lower part of one side of the clamping plate 6, and the movable clamping protrusion 8 is installed on the upper side of the fixed clamping protrusion 7 by a vertical moving assembly. At this time, by adjusting the distance between the fixed clamping protrusion 7 and the movable clamping protrusion 8, the rod-shaped electrodes of diodes of different diameters can be better adapted.
[0033] like Figures 2-3As shown, the vertical moving assembly includes a threaded rod 12 fixedly connected to the outside of the metal probe 4. A threaded sleeve 13 is threadedly connected to the outside of the threaded rod 12. A connecting plate 14 is rotatably connected to the outside of the threaded sleeve 13. Two connecting rods 11 are fixedly connected to the lower side of the connecting plate 14. Each of the two clamping plates 6 has a vertically arranged through groove 10. The lower end of the connecting rod 11 passes through the through groove 10 and is fixedly connected to the movable clamping protrusion 8. At this time, by rotating the threaded sleeve 13 to adjust its height, the movable clamping protrusion 8 can be moved together by the connecting rod 11. Adjusting the height of the movable clamping protrusion 8 adjusts the distance between the fixed clamping protrusion 7 and the movable clamping protrusion 8, and locking it after adjustment.
[0034] Furthermore, a guide rail 9 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the clamping plate 6, and the movable clamping protrusion 8 is slidably connected to the guide rail 9 to improve the stability of the movable clamping protrusion 8.
[0035] like Figures 1-2 As shown, the metal probe 4 can be fixedly connected to the probe body 3 or rotatably connected to the probe body 3. In this technical solution, a rotatable connection is preferred. During operation, the angle of the clamping plate 6 can be adjusted by rotating the probe body 3, so that the angle of the clamping plate 6 matches the rod-shaped electrode of the diode. Since the outer side of the probe body 3 can be provided with a groove or other buttons that conform to the shape of the palm during production, directly rotating the metal probe 4 can bring greater convenience to the user than rotating the probe body 3.
[0036] Furthermore, a fixed magnet 16 is fixedly connected to the lower end of the probe body 3, and a movable magnet 15 is fixedly connected to the outer side of the metal probe 4. The movable magnet 15 and the fixed magnet 16 attract each other magnetically, and the metal probe 4 can be positioned by the magnetic force between the movable magnet 15 and the fixed magnet 16.
[0037] The above description is merely a preferred embodiment of this utility model. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various improvements and modifications without departing from the principle of this utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of this utility model. Structures, devices, and operating methods not specifically described or explained in this utility model, unless otherwise specified or limited, shall be implemented using conventional methods in the field.
