Technical Field

[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of solid-state drive testing technology, and specifically relates to a solid-state drive testing rack. Background Technology

[0002] Solid-state drives (SSDs), also known as solid-state drives, are hard drives made of solid-state electronic storage chip arrays. After SSDs are manufactured, they need to be tested to check whether they are working properly. During the testing process, a test rig is used to mount the SSDs.

[0003] Existing solid-state drive (SSD) testing racks involve randomly sampling a batch of SSDs during testing. The SSDs are placed in testing slots before subsequent testing. To prevent displacement of the SSDs within the testing slots and ensure accurate test results, the testing slots are sized to match the SSDs. Because the SSDs are placed flush against the testing slots, operators need to spend considerable time and effort removing them after testing. This not only reduces testing efficiency on the production line and increases labor costs, but also increases the risk of damage to the SSDs or testing racks due to improper handling during frequent and laborious removal, ultimately affecting product quality and the lifespan of the testing equipment.

[0023] 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.

[0024] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-4 The solid-state drive test fixture shown includes:

[0025] A base 1, with a test frame 2 connected to the top of the base 1, and a number of test slots 4 separated by a number of partitions 3 inside the test frame 2;

[0026] The discharge assembly is located inside the base 1 and is used to eject the tested solid-state drive 5 from the test slot 4. The discharge assembly includes a first cylinder 6 and a push plate 7. The base 1 is provided with a mounting slot 8 and the first cylinder 6 is located in the mounting slot 8. The piston rod of the first cylinder 6 is connected to the push plate 7. The test frame 2 is provided with a movable slot at the bottom of the test slot 4 and a top plate 9 is provided in the movable slot.

[0027] The top of the push plate 7 is connected to several push rods 10, and one end of the push rod 10 moves through the test frame 2 and connects to the top plate 9.

[0028] The push plate 7 is connected to sliders 11 at both ends, and the sliders 11 are slidably connected to the slide grooves 12 in the base 1. The sliders 11 slide in the slide grooves 12 to guide the movement direction of the push plate 7, ensuring that the push plate 7 moves up and down smoothly and avoiding deviation.

[0029] The base 1 has a second cylinder 13 inside one end. The piston rod of the second cylinder 13 is connected to the test plate 14 and the bottom of the test plate 14 is slidably connected to the base 1 through a guide block. The surface of the test plate 14 is provided with a plurality of test sockets 15. The guide block guides the movement direction of the test plate 14, which can enhance the stability of the movement of the test plate 14.

[0030] The test frame 2 is provided with a test port 16 located on one side of the test slot 4. The test socket 15 passes through the test port 16 and is plugged into the plug 17 at one end of the solid-state drive 5.

[0031] A sliding groove 18 is provided inside the test frame 2 and at the bottom of the test port 16. A short rod 19 is slidably connected in the sliding groove 18. One end of the short rod 19 slides through the test frame 2 and extends into the test frame 2. A spring 20 is fitted on one end of the short rod 19 in the sliding groove 18. The two ends of the spring 20 are respectively connected to the fixing plate fixedly fitted on the surface of the short rod 19 and the test frame 2. Through the cooperation of the short rod 19 and the spring 20, when the test socket 15 is pulled out, the short rod 19 can push out the plug 17 that has moved into the test port 16, so as to avoid affecting the subsequent material output.

[0032] Before testing the solid-state drive (SSD) 5, the SSD 5 to be tested is placed one by one into the test slot 4 within the test frame 2. Each test slot 4 is separated by a partition 3, allowing for independent placement of different SSDs 5. At this time, the second cylinder 13 at one end of the base 1 is controlled by an external controller to start working. Its piston rod pushes the test plate 14 connected to it to slide along the guide block on the base 1. As the test plate 14 moves, the test socket 15 on the surface of the test plate 14 gradually approaches the test frame 2 and connects to the plug 17 at one end of the SSD 5 through the test port 16 on one side of the test slot 4, thereby establishing an electrical connection and providing a path for subsequent testing. Then, various instructions and data signals are sent to the SSD 5 through the test socket 15 to check whether the basic functions of the SSD are normal, such as testing the data writing and reading functions. Specific data blocks are written to the SSD 5 and then read out. The consistency between the written and read data is compared to determine the accuracy of data storage and transmission. During this process, the testing equipment monitors the working status of the SSD 5 in real time and records relevant data to achieve the testing of the SSD 5.

[0033] After all tests are completed, before removing the solid-state drive 5, the second cylinder 13 is started by controlling the external controller. The piston rod of the second cylinder 13 retracts, causing the test plate 14 to move away from the plug 17, thereby pulling out the test socket 15 and disconnecting it from the plug 17. When the test socket 15 is pulled out, because the test socket 15 and the plug 17 are tightly connected, pulling out the test socket 15 will cause one end of the plug 17 to move into the test port 16. When the plug 17 moves, the solid-state drive 5 will squeeze and push the short rod 19 to move into the sliding groove 18 and compress the spring 20. When the test socket 15 is completely pulled out, the spring 20 rebounds, causing the short rod 19 to move out of the sliding groove 18. Thus, the solid-state drive 5 can be moved by moving the reset short rod 19, so that the plug 17 at one end of the solid-state drive 5 moves out of the test port 16, which facilitates the subsequent unloading operation.

[0034] When the solid-state drive 5 needs to be removed, the first cylinder 6 located in the mounting slot 8 inside the base 1 is controlled by an external controller. The piston rod of the first cylinder 6 extends and pushes the push plate 7 connected to it to move upward. The sliders 11 connected to both ends of the push plate 7 slide in the sliding groove 12 inside the base 1. This structural design can ensure that the push plate 7 moves up and down smoothly and avoids deviation. Several push rods 10 connected to the top of the push plate 7 rise with the rise of the push plate 7. After one end of the push rod 10 moves through the test frame 2, it pushes the top plate 9 inside the bottom of the test slot 4 to move upward, pushing the solid-state drive 5 out of the test slot 4 for easy removal by the operator, thus completing the unloading work after the test.

[0035] Finally, it should be noted that the above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model and is not intended to limit the present utility model. Although the present utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art can still modify the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments or make equivalent substitutions for some of the technical features. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc., made within the spirit and principles of the present utility model should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
