For example, they can refer to a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral part; they can refer to a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; they can refer to a direct connection or an indirect connection through an intermediate medium; they can refer to the internal communication of two components or the interaction between two components.

[0041] The present invention will now be described in further detail with reference to specific embodiments and accompanying drawings.
[0042] See Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment provides an automatic flip-top structure for an FPC test mold, including a test template 100, a flip-top clamping assembly 200, and a flip-top power component 300. The test template 100 has a positioning groove 110 for placing the product 400 to be tested. The flip-top clamping assembly 200 is disposed on the test template 100. The flip-top power component 300 is located below the test template 100 and can be driven to connect with the flip-top clamping assembly 200. The flip-top clamping assembly 200 includes a mounting base 210, a lifting rod 220, and a flip-top pressure head 230. The mounting base 210 is mounted on the test template 100. One end of the flip-top pressure head 230 is pivotally connected to the mounting base 210. The lifting rod 220 is slidably inserted into the mounting base 210. One end of the lifting rod 220 can be driven to connect with the flip-top power component 300, and the other end of the lifting rod 220 can drive the flip-top pressure head 230 to lift.
[0043] Specifically, in actual operation, before the FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) to be tested is transferred into the positioning groove 110 on the test template 100, the flip-top power component 300 drives the clamping assembly to open. Then, the product under test 400 is transferred into the positioning groove 110 on the test template 100. The warped part of the product under test 400 corresponds to the flip-top clamping assembly 200. Then, the flip-top power component 300 operates so that the flip-top pressure head 230 of the flip-top clamping assembly 200 can press on the warped part of the product under test 400, so that the product under test 400 falls smoothly into the positioning groove 110. Then, the testing equipment closes the mold for testing. This setup improves work efficiency.
[0044] Among them, the flip cover power component 300 adopts a lifting cylinder, and the extension rod of the lifting cylinder can be lifted together with the driving lifting rod 220.
[0045] See Figure 1 - Figure 7 As shown, in the optional embodiment, the mounting base 210 includes an upper mounting plate 211 and a lower mounting plate 212; the upper mounting plate 211 is fixedly mounted on the test template 100, and the lower mounting plate 212 is mounted on the bottom of the upper mounting plate 211 through the mounting column 217; the lifting rod 220 is inserted into the upper mounting plate 211 and the lower mounting plate 212.
[0046] See Figure 1 - Figure 7 As shown, in the optional embodiment, the lower mounting plate 212 is provided with stepped mounting holes 213, and the outer wall of the lifting rod 220 is provided with an anti-detachment protrusion ring 221.
[0047] See Figure 1 - Figure 7 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the upper mounting plate 211 has a working through hole 214 for the lifting rod 220 to pass through, and a linear bearing 215 is provided in the working through hole 214.
[0048] The lifting rod 220 is fitted with a return spring 240 on its outer wall. One end of the return spring 240 abuts against the anti-detachment protrusion ring 221, and the other end abuts against the linear bearing 215.
[0049] Specifically, the stability and accuracy of the lifting rod 220 are improved by using linear bearing 215.
[0050] See Figure 1 - Figure 7 As shown, in an optional embodiment, the top of the lifting rod 220 is provided with a mounting groove 222, and a lifting roller 250 is pivotally connected in the mounting groove 222.
[0051] See Figure 1 - Figure 7 As shown, in an optional embodiment, a pivot seat 216 is provided on the upper mounting plate 211, and the flip cover pressure head 230 is mounted on the pivot seat 216 via a pin 231.
[0052] Among them, a reset torsion spring 232 is sleeved on the pin 231 so that the flip-top pressure head 230 tends to press the product 400 to be tested.
[0053] See Figure 1 - Figure 7 As shown, specifically, the flip-top pressure head 230, under the action of the reset torsion spring 232, tends to press the product under test 400. In actual use, the test template 100 can slide in the FPC testing equipment. During loading, the test template 100 slides outward and disengages from the test position. At this time, the test template 100 can move above the flip-top power component 300. The flip-top power component 300 can correspond to the lifting rod 220 of the flip-top pressing assembly 200, and then the flip-top power component 300 operates. The lifting rod 220 moves upward, causing the lifting roller 250 at its top to contact the bottom of the flip-top pressure head 230. As the lifting rod 220 rises, the lifting roller 250 lifts one end of the flip-top pressure head 230 upward, causing the flip-top pressure head 230 to rotate around the pin 231. When the flip-top pressure head 230 swings upward, it compresses the return torsion spring 232. At this time, one end of the flip-top pressure head 230 disengages from the positioning groove 110, thus repositioning the pressure head. The slot 110 is fully exposed, and the product under test 400 can be transferred into the positioning slot 110 of the test template 100 by automatic equipment or other means. The flip-top pressure head 230 corresponds to the warped part of the product under test 400. After the product under test 400 is placed in place, the flip-top power component 300 falls back to its original position, and the return spring 240 and the return torsion spring 232 actuate. The return spring 240 can drive the anti-detachment protrusion ring 221 of the lifting rod 220, thereby making the lifting rod 220 under its own weight... Under the action of the return spring 240, the anti-detachment protrusion ring 221 abuts against the stepped mounting hole 213 of the lower mounting plate 212 to prevent the lifting rod 220 from falling off. The flip-top pressure head 230 is reset under the action of the return torsion spring 232, and under the action of the lifting rod 220, the flip-top pressure head 230 slowly and orderly flips back, thereby slowly pressing the warped part of the product under test 400. Then, the test film returns to the test position under the action of the horizontal drive component of the FPC test equipment to carry out the test.
[0054] During the reset process of the flip-top pressure head 230, the reset torsion spring 232 and the reset spring 240 are used to ensure that the reset of the flip-top pressure head 230 is synchronized with the reset of the flip-top power component 300, without any impact action. Therefore, the flip-top pressure head 230 will not damage the product 400 under test.
[0055] See Figure 1 - Figure 7 As shown, this embodiment provides an FPC testing device, including an automatic flip-top structure for FPC testing molds.
[0056] Specifically, the FPC testing equipment provided in this embodiment has the advantages of the above-mentioned automatic flip-top structure of the FPC testing mold compared with the prior art, which will not be elaborated here.
[0057] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features therein. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
