Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of server motherboard testing technology, and in particular to a conductive connector. Background Technology

[0002] FCT (Functional Circuit Test) is a type of functional testing that provides a simulated operating environment (stimuli and loads) to the test target board (UUT: Unit Under Test), causing it to operate in various design states, thereby obtaining parameters for each state to verify the functionality of the UUT.

[0003] Currently, in FCT testing, the testing of conductive connectors on the motherboard mainly uses test probes to conduct electrical conductivity through contact, in order to test their conductivity performance. For example... Figure 1 As shown, this is a cylindrical conductive connector used in some server motherboard structures. Its main application is to transmit high-current electrical energy to power the server board. During FCT (Fault-Cooled Test) stress testing, if a traditional probe is used to make contact with this high-current cylindrical conductive connector, it can easily lead to weakened internal spring force, resulting in poor contact, or excessive probe overheating, reducing its lifespan, and other adverse effects. These issues affect the stability of the FCT test, reduce test efficiency, and increase test costs due to the shortened probe lifespan. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a conductive connector that offers stable and efficient testing while significantly reducing testing costs.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution:

[0006] A conductive connector, used in FCT testing of a server motherboard, is positioned above the server motherboard for electrical connection with a cylindrical electrical connector on the server motherboard. The connector includes: a base; a stroke cylinder vertically mounted and fixed above the base, with a telescopic rod driven to the stroke cylinder, and a lifting plate driven to the telescopic rod, with symmetrically arranged drive rods on the lifting plate; a conductive body fixing seat positioned below the base, with symmetrically arranged mounting holes on the conductive body fixing seat, the drive rods passing downward through the base and fixed within the mounting holes; a conductive body for electrical connection with the electrical connector, located at the bottom of the conductive body fixing seat; and a conductive plate for connecting an external power supply device, the conductive plate being disposed within the conductive body fixing seat and electrically connected to the conductive body. The stroke cylinder drives the conductive body fixing seat with the conductive body towards the position of the electrical connector via the drive rods, thereby enabling the conductive body to electrically connect with the electrical connector.

[0007] Preferably, the conductive body 501 is cylindrical.

[0008] Preferably, both the conductive sheet and the conductive body are provided with openings, and the conductive sheet and the conductive body are connected and fixed by a connector passing through the openings.

[0009] Preferably, the conductive body fixing base is provided with a first groove arranged horizontally and a second groove arranged vertically. The first groove and the second groove are interconnected. The conductive sheet is installed in the first groove and the conductive body is installed in the second groove.

[0010] Preferably, the second groove is cylindrical.

[0011] Preferably, the conductive body fixing seat includes a cover plate and a base, the cover plate and the base are fixed together by a positioning bolt, and the cover plate and the base cooperate to form the first groove and the second groove.

[0012] Preferably, the base is provided with a base through hole for the transmission rod to pass through, and a buffer sleeve is installed and fixed in the base through hole, and the buffer sleeve is sleeved on the transmission rod.

[0013] Preferably, one end of the conductive sheet has a hook that extends outward.

[0014] Preferably, the base has an arched bottom and forms a movable area for the movement of the conductive body fixing seat.

[0015] Compared with existing technologies, the advantages of this invention are as follows: During FCT testing of a server motherboard, a travel cylinder on the conductive connector drives a conductive body fixing seat with a conductive body to move closer to the electrical connector, thereby establishing an electrical connection between the conductive body and the electrical connector, and ultimately connecting the conductive connector to the server motherboard. Under the control of the travel cylinder, the conductive body can stably connect to the electrical connector on the server motherboard. This method effectively improves test stability, replaces traditional probe testing, effectively reduces testing costs, and increases testing efficiency. Attached Figure Description

It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are merely illustrative of the present utility model and are not intended to limit the present utility model.

[0023] It should be noted that when a component is referred to as being "fixed to" or "set on" another component, it can be directly on or indirectly on that other component. When a component is referred to as being "connected to" another component, it can be directly connected to or indirectly connected to that other component.

They are only for the convenience of describing this utility model and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, or be constructed and operated in a specific orientation. Therefore, they should not be construed as limitations on this utility model.

[0025] Furthermore, the terms "first" and "second" are used for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or implicitly specifying the number of indicated technical features. Thus, a feature defined as "first" or "second" may explicitly or implicitly include one or more of that feature. In the description of this utility model, "a plurality of" means two or more, unless otherwise explicitly specified.

[0026] See Figures 1-6 This utility model provides a conductive connector suitable for FCT (Functional Testing) of a server motherboard 100, specifically for transmitting high-current power from an external power supply device to a server motherboard 100. Figure 1 The cylindrical electrical connector 101 shown is used to transmit high current power to control the main power of the server board. In use, the conductive connector is positioned above the server motherboard 100.

[0027] See Figure 1 and Figure 2The conductive connector includes at least the following components: base 200, stroke cylinder 300, telescopic rod 301, lifting plate 302, transmission rod 303, conductive body fixing seat 400, conductive body 501, and conductive sheet 502. Specifically: a stroke cylinder 300 is vertically mounted on the base 200. A telescopic rod 301 is driven and connected to the stroke cylinder 300, and the telescopic rod 301 faces upwards. Driven by the stroke cylinder 300, it moves up and down vertically. A lifting plate 302 is driven and connected to the telescopic rod 301. Transmission rods 303 are symmetrically arranged on the lifting plate 302, and the two transmission rods 303 are of the same length to ensure synchronization during transmission. A conductive body fixing seat 400 is provided below the base 200. The conductive body fixing seat 400 has symmetrically arranged mounting holes 401. A transmission rod 303 passes downward through the base 200 and is fixedly installed in the mounting holes 401. That is, through the connection of the transmission rod 303, the lifting plate 302 can drive the conductive body fixing seat 400 to move up and down synchronously in the vertical direction. When the stroke cylinder 300 drives the telescopic rod 301 upward, the lifting plate 302 will drive the conductive body fixing seat 400 to rise; when the stroke cylinder 300 drives the telescopic rod 301 downward, the lifting plate 302 will drive the conductive body fixing seat 400 to fall. Furthermore, a conductive body 501 is installed and fixed at the bottom of the conductive body fixing seat 400. The conductive body 501 is used for electrical connection with the electrical connector 101. In use, the stroke cylinder 300 drives the conductive body fixing seat 400 to move towards the electrical connector 101, so that the conductive body 501 contacts the electrical connector 101, realizing the electrical connection between the two. In addition, a conductive sheet 502 is provided inside the conductive body fixing base 400. The conductive sheet 502 is electrically connected to the conductive body 501 and is used to connect an external power supply device, such as a regulated power supply like an AC 220V / 110V regulated power supply. When the conductive connector is installed on the server motherboard, the external power supply device connects to the conductive sheet 502 and conducts electricity through the conductive body 501 to the electrical connector 101 of the server motherboard 100 under test. That is, during FCT testing of the server motherboard, the extension rod 301 of the stroke cylinder 300 drives the conductive body fixing base 400, which contains the conductive body 501 and the conductive sheet 502, to move closer to the electrical connector, so that the conductive body 501 and the electrical connector 101 are electrically connected, thereby achieving the connection between the conductive connector and the server motherboard 100. Under the control of the stroke cylinder 300, the conductive body can stably connect to the electrical connector on the server motherboard 100. This method effectively improves the stability of the test, replaces traditional probe testing, effectively reduces testing costs, and improves testing efficiency.

[0028] As a preferred implementation method, see [link / reference] Figure 5Both the conductive sheet 502 and the conductive body 501 have openings 503. The conductive sheet 502 and the conductive body 501 are connected and fixed together by a connector passing through the openings 503. In other words, the conductive sheet 502 and the conductive body 501 are connected and fixed together by a connector. The connector between the conductive sheet 502 and the conductive body 501 needs to have good conductivity and mechanical strength to ensure a stable electrical connection and structural stability. The connector can be made of conductive materials such as copper, brass, and phosphor bronze, but is not limited to these.

[0029] As another preferred implementation, see [link / reference] Figure 6 , Figure 6 The diagram shows a vertical cross-sectional view of the conductive body mounting base 400. A first groove 402, horizontally positioned and parallel to the surface of the base 200, is provided on the base 400 for mounting a conductive sheet 502, which is used to connect to an external power supply device. Preferably, one end of the conductive sheet 502 has a hook 504 extending outwards, facilitating connection to the external power supply device. Next, a second groove 403, vertically positioned and perpendicular to the surface of the base 200, is provided on the conductive body mounting base 400 for mounting the conductive body 501. The first groove 402 and the second groove 403 are interconnected to achieve electrical connection between the conductive sheet 502 and the conductive body 501. Preferably, the conductive body 501 is cylindrical, and the second groove 403 is also cylindrical to accommodate the cylindrical conductive body 501.

[0030] As another preferred implementation, see [link / reference] Figure 2 and Figure 3 The base 200 has a base through hole 201 for the transmission rod 303 to pass through. A buffer sleeve 600 is installed and fixed inside the base through hole 201, and the buffer sleeve 600 is sleeved on the transmission rod 303. The buffer sleeve 600 can reduce the friction and impact of the transmission rod 303 during operation, protect the transmission rod 303 and the base 200, and extend their service life. In addition, the buffer sleeve 600 is usually made of wear-resistant material, such as plastic or metal, and its inner diameter matches the outer diameter of the transmission rod 303 to ensure a tight fit.

[0031] As another preferred implementation, see [link / reference] Figure 3 and Figure 5The conductive body fixing base 400 includes a cover plate 404 and a base 405. The cover plate 404 and the base 405 are fixed together by positioning bolts 700, and the cover plate 404 and the base 405 cooperate to form a first groove 402 and a second groove 403. After installing the positioning bolts 700, the installation stability of the conductive body 501 and the conductive sheet 502 in the conductive body fixing base 400 can be further strengthened, ensuring that the conductive body 501 and the conductive sheet 502 are in the correct position in the conductive body fixing base 400, preventing displacement or offset during operation, and maintaining the stability and reliability of the electrical connection.

[0032] As another preferred implementation, see [link / reference] Figure 3 The base 200 has an arched bottom, forming a movable area for the movement of the conductive body mounting base 400. The arched bottom of the base 200 can also provide space for installation on the server motherboard 100 under test. The usual installation method is to use bolts to install the base 200 on the server motherboard 100 under test. After installation, due to the arched bottom, it can cooperate with the lifting and lowering of the conductive body 501 above the electrical connector 101, thereby cooperating with the stroke cylinder 300 to drive the conductive body 501, so as to connect or disconnect the conductive body 501 and the electrical connector 101.

Therefore, this utility model is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed and described above, and some modifications and changes to this utility model should also fall within the protection scope of the claims of this utility model. Furthermore, although some specific terms are used in this specification, these terms are only for convenience of explanation and do not constitute any limitation on this utility model.
