Detailed Implementation
[0018] The following description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and does not limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0019] Example: An adjustable FCT testing device, such as Figures 1-3As shown, the device includes an FCT testing equipment body 1, wheels 2, cabinet doors 3, exhaust vents 4, display panels 5, control boxes 6, mounting platforms 7, electric push rods 8, sliding rods 9, connecting plates 10, connecting rods 11, pressure plates 12, springs 13, double-acting screws 14, clamping blocks 15, and handles 16. The FCT testing equipment body 1 serves as the main structure of the entire testing equipment, bearing and accommodating all other components, providing a platform and space for testing operations. Wheels 2 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the FCT testing equipment body 1, facilitating the overall movement of the testing equipment and making it easy to transport and adjust its position. Storage space is provided in the lower part of the FCT testing equipment body 1. Cabinet doors 3 are symmetrically connected to the lower front side of the FCT testing equipment body 1, rotating left and right. The storage space at the lower part of the FCT testing equipment body 1 is sealed to protect the internal items and prevent dust accumulation. It can also be opened for storage and retrieval. Vents 4 are symmetrically arranged on the left side of the FCT testing equipment body 1, used to expel heat generated inside the equipment, ensuring a suitable internal temperature and maintaining normal operation. A display panel 5 is installed on the upper front side of the FCT testing equipment body 1, displaying various information during the testing process, such as test data and test status, allowing operators to monitor the test progress in real time. A control box 6 is installed on the right side of the FCT testing equipment body 1, used for centralized control of all functions and operations of the FCT testing equipment body 1. Operators can control the various functions and operations of the FCT testing equipment body 1 through the control box. The housing 6 is used for parameter setting, starting / stopping testing, and other operations on the FCT testing equipment body 1. Wheels 2 are installed at the four corners of the bottom of the controller. A mounting platform 7 is connected to the placement area of the FCT testing equipment body 1. The mounting platform 7 serves as a platform for the test piece, providing a position for placement and fixation. Electric push rods 8 are horizontally installed at the center of both the left and right sides of the mounting platform 7. The push rods of the electric push rods 8 are connected to connecting plates 10. The extension and retraction of the push rods of the electric push rods 8 drives the connecting plates 10 to move left and right, achieving initial positioning and adjustment of the test piece in the left and right directions. It can also be adjusted according to the size of the test piece. Sliding rods 9 are symmetrically connected to the outer sides of both connecting plates 10, and the sliding rods 9 are slidably connected to the mounting platform 7. The sliding rod 9 serves to guide and stabilize the movement of the connecting plate 10, ensuring that the connecting plate 10 can move smoothly and accurately left and right under the push of the electric push rod 8. Connecting rods 11 are slidably connected to the top of each connecting plate 10, and pressure plates 12 are connected to the bottom of each connecting rod 11. The bottom of the pressure plates 12 is provided with soft pads to prevent the test piece from being crushed. Springs 13 are connected between each pressure plate 12 and the adjacent connecting plate 10 at their slidable connection points. The springs 13 are all sleeved on the adjacent connecting rods 11. The pressure plates 12 are used to press and fix the test piece, preventing it from moving during the test. A long slot is longitudinally formed in the middle of the mounting platform 7, and a bidirectional screw 14 is rotatably connected inside the long slot. Clamping blocks 15 are threadedly connected to the front and rear ends of the bidirectional screw 14.The clamping block 15 is used to clamp and fix the test piece from the front and rear directions. It works in conjunction with the pressure plate 12 to ensure the stability of the test piece during testing. A handle 16 is connected to the front end of the bidirectional screw 14. The handle 16 is located in front of the clamping block 15, allowing the operator to easily manually rotate the bidirectional screw 14 to adjust the position of the clamping block 15.
[0020] When using the FCT testing equipment, first place it stably in the testing work area, ensuring sufficient operating space around the equipment and a level ground to guarantee stability. Connect the equipment to a suitable power supply. If necessary, open the cabinet door 3 at the bottom of the FCT testing equipment body 1, remove the required tools and accessories, or store unnecessary items in the cabinet, then close the cabinet door 3. Place the PCB board or other test piece to be tested on the mounting platform 7, ensuring it is stable. Based on the size of the test piece, control the electric push rods 8 on both sides of the mounting platform 7 via the control box 6. The extension and retraction of the push rods 8 move the connecting plate 10 left and right. The sliding rod 9 on the outer side of the connecting plate 10 slides on the mounting platform 7, providing guidance and stability, allowing the connecting plate 10 to move smoothly and accurately to the appropriate position, thus performing initial left-right positioning and adjustment of the test piece.
[0021] After the connecting plate 10 moves to the appropriate position, the pressure plate 12 at the bottom of the connecting rod 11 automatically adjusts its position according to the height of the test piece under the action of the spring 13, and presses and fixes the test piece from above to prevent the test piece from moving during the test.
[0022] By manually turning the handle 16, the handle 16 drives the bidirectional screw 14 to rotate in the elongated groove in the middle of the mounting platform 7. When the bidirectional screw 14 rotates, the clamping blocks 15 connected to its front and rear ends by threads move towards the middle at the same time, clamping and fixing the test piece from the front and rear directions. Together with the pressure plate 12, they ensure the stability of the test piece during the test.
[0023] The FCT testing equipment body 1 is configured via control box 6. Appropriate test parameters, such as test voltage, test current, and test time, are input according to the test requirements. After parameter configuration, the FCT testing equipment body 1 is started via control box 6 to perform functional testing on the test piece. During the test, the operator can observe various information in real time through display panel 5, such as test data and test status, to understand the test progress and results.
[0024] After the test is completed, stop the operation of the FCT testing equipment body 1 via the control box 6. Rotate the handle 16 in the opposite direction to make the bidirectional screw 14 rotate in the opposite direction, which will drive the clamping blocks 15 to move to both sides, loosening the front and rear clamping fixation on the test piece.
[0025] Lift the pressure plate 12 upwards to separate it from the test piece. Remove the completed test piece from the mounting table 7 for further processing. If necessary, control the electric push rod 8 via the control box 6 to reset the connecting plate 10 back to its initial position, preparing it for the next test.
[0026] By following the above steps, you can complete the use of the FCT testing equipment.
