Detailed Implementation
[0026] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. 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.
[0027] It should be noted that all directional indicators (such as up, down, left, right, front, back, etc.) in this utility model embodiment are only used to explain the relative positional relationship and movement of each component in a certain specific posture (as shown in the figure). If the specific posture changes, the directional indicator will also change accordingly.
[0028] In this embodiment, referring to Figures 1, 2, 3, and 6, the device includes a base plate 1, a middle plate 2, and a top plate 3, which are stacked sequentially. The base plate 1 and the middle plate 2 are provided with stepped mounting holes 4, and probes 5 are installed in the stepped mounting holes 4 to facilitate fixing the middle part of the probes 5 at the middle position of the stepped mounting holes 4. The two ends of the probes 5 protrude from the two ends of the stepped mounting holes 4, respectively. The top plate 3 is provided with a positioning groove 6, and the bottom of the positioning groove 6 is provided with probe holes 21. A positioning plate 19 is installed at the middle position of the middle plate 2. The positioning plate 19 is aligned with the positioning groove 6 in the vertical direction. The upper end of the probes 5 protrudes from the positioning plate 19 and points to the probe holes 21, so that when the device is placed into the positioning groove 6, the device can make precise contact with the probes 5.
[0029] In this embodiment, referring to Figures 1, 3, 4, and 7, a limiting mechanism is provided on the base plate 1. The limiting mechanism is used to fix the device in the positioning groove 6. The limiting mechanism includes two metal bases 7 arranged opposite each other. The base plate 1 is provided with mounting holes. The metal bases 7 are fixedly installed on the base plate 1 by bolts. The middle position of the metal base 7 is provided with a movable notch. A rotating shaft 8 is provided in the movable notch. The two ends of the rotating shaft 8 are respectively rotatably connected to the two side walls of the movable notch. A metal claw 9 is fixedly connected to the rotating shaft 8. The claw arm end of the metal claw 9 is located in the positioning groove 6. When the device is placed into the positioning groove 6, the metal claw 9 abuts against the device under natural gravity, fixing the device in the positioning groove 6.
[0030] In this embodiment, referring to FIG4, a pressing component is provided on the metal base 7. The pressing component is used to rotate the metal claw 9 counterclockwise to unlock the device, thereby facilitating the picking and putting away of the device.
[0031] The pressing assembly includes a pressing spring 10, a metal pressure block 11, and a connecting block 12. One end of the connecting block 12 is fixedly connected to the middle position of the metal pressure block 11. A pin 20 is installed on the end of the metal claw 9 away from the claw arm end. The other end of the connecting block 12 is rotatably connected to the pin 20. Pressing springs 10 are provided at both ends of the metal pressure block 11, and one end of the pressing spring 10 is fixedly connected to the metal pressure block 11. Guide grooves 13 are provided at both ends of the upper surface of the metal base 7. The end of the pressing spring 10 away from the metal pressure block 11 is fixedly installed in the guide groove 13. A guide rod 14 passes through the pressing spring 10. One end of the guide rod 14 is fixedly connected to the metal pressure block 11, and the other end extends into the guide groove 13. There is a space between the end of the guide rod 14 extending into the guide groove 13 and the bottom of the guide groove 13. The guide rod 14 limits and guides the pressing spring 10, preventing excessive deformation of the pressing spring 10 during extension and retraction, and providing protection for the pressing spring 10.
[0032] The same metal pressure block 11 is supported by two pressing springs 10. Pressing the metal pressure block 11 compresses the pressing springs 10, which in turn pushes the end of the metal claw 9 away from the claw arm downward through the connecting block 12. The metal claw 9 rotates counterclockwise as a whole, so that the claw arm of the metal claw 9 moves out of the positioning groove 6, making it convenient to pick up and put down the device.
[0033] In this embodiment, referring to Figures 5 and 6, telescopic springs 15 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the middle plate 2. The other end of the telescopic springs 15 is fixedly installed on the lower end face of the top plate 3. Screws 16 are threaded through the four corners of the top plate 3. Mounting grooves 17 are opened at the four corners of the middle plate 2. The end of the telescopic spring 15 near the middle plate 2 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the mounting groove 17. The screws 16 pass through the top plate 3 and the telescopic spring 15 in sequence and extend into the mounting groove 17. There is a space between the end of the screw 16 extending into the mounting groove 17 and the bottom of the mounting groove 17, so that the screw 16 has a protective and guiding function for the telescopic spring 15, thereby realizing the connection between the top plate 3 and the middle plate 2. The telescopic spring 15 is in a compressed state. At this time, the device is in contact with the upper end of the probe 5, realizing effective contact between the device and the probe 5. Under the elastic action of the telescopic spring 15, excessive contact between the probe 5 and the device is avoided, which may cause damage to the device. It has a protective function for the device and the probe 5 and avoids poor contact during the test as much as possible.
[0034] In this embodiment, referring to FIG6, a positioning pin 18 is connected to the middle plate 2, and a positioning hole is provided on the top plate 3. The positioning pin 18 is engaged with the positioning hole to facilitate the precise positioning and installation of the top plate 3 on the middle plate 2.
[0035] In this embodiment, referring to FIG7, an aging board mounting hole 22 is provided on the base plate 1. The base plate 1 is mounted on the aging board by means of bolts passing through the aging board mounting hole 22 and threadedly connecting to the aging board.
[0036] The working principle of this embodiment is as follows: By applying pressure to press down the metal pressure block 11, the spring 10 is compressed elastically, causing the metal pressure block 11 to drive the connecting block 12 to move downward. The connecting block 12 pushes the end of the metal claw 9 away from the claw arm end downward, causing the metal claw 9 to move counterclockwise as a whole. This causes the claw arm end of the metal claw 9 to move away from the positioning groove 6, and the two metal claws 9 are in an open state. After the device is placed into the positioning groove 6, no more pressure is applied to the metal pressure block 11, and the end of the metal claw 9 away from the claw arm end is no longer under pressure. The claw arm end of the metal claw 9 enters the positioning groove 6 under natural gravity and presses the device, so that the device and the probe 5 make contact and achieve good circuit contact. Finally, the overall structure is welded onto the aging board, and the aging board is placed in the aging table to perform aging test on the device, so that the probe 5 and the device make reliable electrical connection to ensure the accuracy of the measurement results.
[0037] The above are merely preferred embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural transformations made based on the concept of this utility model and the contents of the specification and drawings of this utility model, or direct / indirect applications in other related technical fields, are included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
