Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of PCB inspection technology, and in particular to a positioning fixture for PCB board inspection. Background Technology
[0002] In the electronics manufacturing industry, PCBs (Printed Circuit Boards) serve as the support and electrical connection carrier for electronic components. During production, they require rigorous quality testing to ensure their performance and reliability meet standards. Probe testing is a commonly used method for PCB inspection. It involves contacting probes with pads or test points on the PCB to measure its electrical properties, such as continuity, resistance, and voltage.
[0003] However, existing PCB board inspection technologies using probes have several drawbacks without specialized positioning fixtures:
[0004] 1. The pads and test points on the PCB are usually small in size and closely arranged. Without positioning fixtures, it is difficult to accurately align the probes with these test positions. During the test, misalignment between the probes and the pads or test points can easily occur, resulting in inaccurate test results that cannot truly reflect the electrical performance of the PCB. This may cause unqualified products to flow into subsequent production stages, affecting the quality of the final product.
[0005] Second, each time a test is performed, the position of the PCB board needs to be manually adjusted to roughly align it with the probe. This process is not only time-consuming, but also requires repeated position adjustments when testing different positions, which greatly reduces the testing efficiency. Utility Model Content

[0037] Working principle:
[0038] The PCB board A to be inspected is placed horizontally above the mounting base 1, i.e., on several support rods 4, and initially clamped by two sets of positioning components 2 arranged in a mirror-symmetrical manner. By pushing the sliding base 21 to move back and forth along the slide groove 12, the distance between the two sets of positioning components 2 can be adjusted to accommodate PCB boards of different sizes;
[0039] Rotate the handle 232 of the first screw 23 to drive the telescopic rod 22 to move up and down through the threaded engagement, thereby adjusting the height of the first gap 223 by the first extension plate 221 and the second extension plate 222, so that the edge of the PCB board A is embedded in the first gap 223. Further rotate the cap 241 of the second screw 24 to make the rubber layer 41 on the lower end face of the second screw 24 press down against the PCB board A through the threaded transmission, ensuring that it is stable and fixed in the horizontal direction, while avoiding scratching the surface of the PCB board A.
[0040] Several support rods 4 are distributed on the left and right sides of the slide groove 12. Through the elastic force of the elastic reset element 5, such as the compression spring, the support rods 4 can move up and down adaptively. When the PCB board A is placed, the rubber layer 41 on the upper end of the support rod 4 contacts the bottom of the PCB board A, providing uniform support force and preventing the PCB board A from bending or displacing due to uneven force during the testing process.
[0041] If the position of PCB board A needs to be adjusted, the second screw 24 can be loosened and the front and rear positions of the sliding seat 21 can be finely adjusted, and then tightened again to ensure that the probe is accurately aligned with the detection point.
[0042] After the test is completed, the second screw 24 is rotated in the opposite direction to release PCB board A, and the elastic reset component 5 pushes the support rod 4 to reset to the initial position.
