[0021] Specifically, the transport assembly 1 is used to carry and transport the circuit board, the fixed tables 2 on both sides are used to place the circuit boards to be detected and the circuit boards that have been detected, the door-shaped frame 3 is horizontally arranged above the transport assembly 1 to provide mounting support for other components, the servo motor 4 is installed at the top of the outer side wall of the door-shaped frame 3 and can output rotary power after being powered on, the lead screw 5 is fixedly connected with the output end of the servo motor 4 through the shaft coupling, when the servo motor 4 rotates, the lead screw 5 rotates, the sliding block 6 is threadedly connected with the lead screw 5, when the lead screw 5 rotates, the sliding block 6 moves linearly along the lead screw 5, the electric telescopic rod 7 is installed at the bottom of the sliding block 6 and can be controlled to stretch and retract through an electric signal, when the electric telescopic rod 7 stretches or retracts, the horizontal plate 8 connected below moves up and down, and the vacuum adsorption pad 9 at the bottom of the four corners of the horizontal plate 8 can adsorb the circuit board by using atmospheric pressure when a vacuum is formed inside, when the lead screw 5 drives the sliding block 6 to move, the closely attached structure can guide and stabilize the sliding block 6 to prevent the sliding block 6 from shaking or deviating during movement.
[0022] Referring to Figure 2 , the ends of the two lead screws 5 away from the servo motor 4 are rotatably connected with a fixed block 10 through a bearing, the two fixed blocks 10 are fixedly connected to the top inner wall of the door-shaped frame 3, and the detection equipment 11 is installed on the top inner wall of the door-shaped frame 3 and between the two fixed blocks 10.
