Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0028] Example 1:
[0029] like Figures 1-12 As shown, a positioning fixture for PCBA boards according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a processing table 1. A first positioning component 2 is provided at the upper end of the processing table 1 for positioning the PCBA board along the X-axis.

A controller 4 is provided at the upper end of the processing table 1.
[0030] Example 2:
[0031] like Figures 1-12As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a positioning fixture for PCBA boards includes a first positioning component 2 comprising a plurality of first motors 201. The first motors 201 are symmetrically arranged on the upper end of the processing table 1 via a fixing frame. The output shaft of the first motor 201 is provided with a first threaded rod 202 via a coupling. The first threaded rod 202 is provided on the upper end of the processing table 1 via a fixing seat. An adjusting plate 203 is connected to the first threaded rod 202. A positioning plate 204 is provided on the upper end of the adjusting plate 203. An adjusting cavity is provided in the middle of the positioning plate 204.
[0032] A second motor 205 is mounted on one side of the positioning plate 204 via a second fixing bracket. A first bevel gear 206 is mounted on the output shaft of the second motor 205. A second bevel gear 207 is meshed with the first bevel gear 206. An adjusting rod 208 is fixedly mounted on the second bevel gear 207. One end of the adjusting rod 208 extends from the outside of the positioning plate 204 into the interior of the adjusting cavity. A third bevel gear 209 is mounted on the end of the adjusting rod 208 located inside the adjusting cavity. A fourth bevel gear is meshed with the third bevel gear 209. 210, the fourth bevel gear 210 is fixedly provided with a rotating rod 211, and the other end of the rotating rod 211 is provided on the inner wall of the adjustment cavity through a bearing.

[0033] In practical applications, when it is necessary to position the PCBA board, the PCBA board to be positioned is placed on the positioning plate 204. Then, the controller 4 starts the second motor 205. The output shaft of the second motor 205 drives the first bevel gear 206 to rotate. Then, the first bevel gear 206 and the second bevel gear 207 mesh with each other and drive the adjusting rod 208 to rotate. This causes the third bevel gear 209 and the fourth bevel gear 210 to mesh with each other and drive the rotating rod 211 and the adjusting gear 212 to rotate. Then, the adjusting gear 212 meshes with the adjusting rack 213 and drives the first limiting plate 214 to move from both sides of the positioning plate 204 towards the middle, thereby positioning the PCBA board along the X-axis.
[0034] After positioning is completed, the controller 4 starts the two first motors 201. Then the output shaft of the first motor 201 drives the first threaded rod 202 to rotate, thereby causing the adjusting plate 203 to move axially and move the adjusting plate 203 to the position to be processed.
[0035] Example 3:
[0036] like Figures 1-12As shown, according to an embodiment of the present invention, a positioning fixture for a PCBA board includes a second positioning component 3 comprising a movable groove 301. The movable groove 301 is opened on one side of a first limiting plate 214. A plurality of third motors 302 are provided on one side of the first limiting plate 214 via a fixing frame 3. The output shaft of the third motor 302 is connected to a second threaded rod 303, and the second threaded rod 303 is provided on one side of the first limiting plate 214 via a fixing seat 2. A limiting groove is opened on one side of the first limiting plate 214. A movable frame 304 is threadedly connected to the second threaded rod 303, and the movable frame 304 is slidably connected inside the limiting groove and the movable groove 301. A plurality of limiting springs 305 are symmetrically arranged inside the movable frame 304, and a second limiting plate 306 is inclinedly arranged at one end of each limiting spring 305.
[0037] The second positioning component 3 includes a support frame 307, which is mounted on the upper end of the processing table 1. An adjusting seat 308 is bolted to one side of the support frame 307. An adjusting handle 309 and a pressing column 310 are connected to the adjusting seat 308. A connecting piece 311 connects the adjusting handle 309 and the pressing column 310. A pressing plate 312 is mounted on one end of the pressing column 310. A test probe 313 is mounted on the pressing plate 312. A guide post 317 is slidably connected to the pressing plate 312. One end of the guide post 317 is mounted on one side of the support frame 307 via a fixed seat 4, and the other end of the guide post 317 is mounted on the upper end of the processing table 1. The bottom end of the lower pressure plate 312 and the upper end of the adjustment plate 203 are symmetrically provided with electric push rods 314. The electric push rods 314 on the adjustment plate 203 are embedded. The moving end of the electric push rod 314 is surrounded by a buffer spring 315. The moving end of the electric push rod 314 and one end of the buffer spring 315 are provided with a positioning seat 316.
[0038] In practical applications, when it is necessary to position the PCBA board along the Y-axis, the controller 4 starts the third motor 302, and then the output shaft of the third motor 302 drives the second threaded rod 303 to rotate. Then the moving frame 304 moves along the axial direction, and then the limiting spring 305 and the second limiting plate 306 cooperate with each other to position the PCBA board along the Y-axis.
[0039] When testing a PCBA board, the test pin 313 on the lower pressure plate 312 is pressed down by the coordinated action of the handle 309, connector 311, pressure post 310, pressure plate 312, and guide post 317. During the pressing process, the test PCBA board is buffered and positioned by the coordinated action of the electric push rod 314, buffer spring 315, and positioning seat 316. The positioning effect can also be better guaranteed by adjusting the thickness of the PCBA board.
[0040] To facilitate understanding of the above-mentioned technical solutions of this utility model, the working principle or operation method of this utility model in actual process will be described in detail below.
[0041] In summary, using the above-described technical solution of this utility model, when it is necessary to position a PCBA board, the PCBA board to be positioned is placed on the positioning plate 204. Then, the controller 4 starts the second motor 205. The output shaft of the second motor 205 drives the first bevel gear 206 to rotate. Then, the first bevel gear 206 and the second bevel gear 207 mesh with each other, driving the adjusting rod 208 to rotate. This causes the third bevel gear 209 and the fourth bevel gear 210 to mesh with each other, driving the rotating rod 211 and the adjusting gear 212 to rotate. Then, the adjusting gear 212 meshes with the adjusting rack 213, driving the first limiting plate 214 from both sides of the positioning plate 204 towards... The PCBA board is moved in the middle to perform X-axis positioning. When Y-axis positioning of the PCBA board is required, the controller 4 starts the third motor 302. Then, the output shaft of the third motor 302 drives the second threaded rod 303 to rotate, and the moving frame 304 moves axially. Then, the limiting spring 305 and the second limiting plate 306 cooperate to position the PCBA board in the Y-axis. After positioning, the controller 4 starts the two first motors 201. Then, the output shaft of the first motor 201 drives the first threaded rod 202 to rotate, thereby causing the adjusting plate 203 to move axially, and then moving the adjusting plate 203 to the position to be processed.
[0042] When testing a PCBA board, the test pin 313 on the lower pressure plate 312 is pressed down by the coordinated action of the handle 309, connector 311, pressure post 310, pressure plate 312, and guide post 317. During the pressing process, the test PCBA board is buffered and positioned by the coordinated action of the electric push rod 314, buffer spring 315, and positioning seat 316. The positioning effect can also be better ensured by adjusting the thickness of the PCBA board. The above description is only a preferred embodiment of this utility model and is not intended to limit the utility model.
