Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of PCB board technology, and in particular to an adjustable PCB board testing fixture. Background Technology
[0002] PCB board, also known as printed circuit board, is an important electronic component. It serves as the support for electronic components and the carrier for their electrical connections. Because it is made using electronic printing technology, it is called a "printed" circuit board. To ensure the normal use of PCB boards, they need to be tested using testing fixtures after production.
[0003] The applicant's research revealed that in traditional technologies, it is inconvenient to adjust the test fixture according to different PCB sizes when testing PCBs. Furthermore, the PCB is usually clamped only on both sides, not all four sides. For example, the adjustable PCB functional test fixture announced in application number 202323640717.6, through the cooperation of its components, facilitates adjustment of the test fixture according to different PCB sizes and can clamp all four sides of the PCB, avoiding deviations during PCB positioning. While this solution represents an improvement, excessive clamping force can cause the PCB to bend and arch, preventing it from adhering properly to the contact electrodes of the testing device. This can lead to poor or broken circuit contact during PCB testing, affecting the testing results. Additionally, clamping the PCB requires rotating two sets of turntables and the second threaded rod, making the operation cumbersome and inconvenient.
[0004] Therefore, the applicant proposes an adjustable PCB board testing fixture to solve the problem. Utility Model Content

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 of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. All other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art based on the embodiments of the present utility model without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.
[0027] Depend on Figures 1-8 The present invention includes a base plate 1, a support plate 11 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1, a rotating plate 12 above the support plate 11, a clamping mechanism 2 for clamping and limiting the PCB board on the surface of the rotating plate 12, a driving mechanism 4 for driving the rotating plate 12 to rotate fixedly installed at the top of the base plate 1, the driving mechanism 4 can drive the clamping mechanism 2 to clamp and limit the PCB board, a support component 3 is installed at the center of the upper surface of the rotating plate 12, the support component 3 includes a placement plate 34 elastically installed with the rotating plate 12, when the PCB board needs to be tested, the PCB board is placed on the upper end of the placement plate 34, the driving mechanism 4 drives the rotating plate 12 to rotate, thereby providing power to the clamping mechanism 2, so that the clamping mechanism 2 can clamp and limit the PCB board;
[0028] For example, the clamping mechanism 2 includes two sets of mutually symmetrical first clamping blocks 23, and a mutually symmetrical second clamping block 24 between the two sets of first clamping blocks 23. One side surface of the first clamping block 23 and the second clamping block 24 is inclined, and the inclined surface is provided with a rubber pad. The PCB board is clamped by the first clamping block 23 and the second clamping block 24. When the inclined surface on the first clamping block 23 and the second clamping block 24 contacts the PCB board, the placement plate 34 is pressed down, and the upper end of the PCB board is limited by the first clamping block 23 and the second clamping block 24 to prevent the PCB board from bending.
[0029] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 6 Two sets of first clamping blocks 23 are provided with movable blocks 21 on one side. Two sets of insert rods extending to the other side of the movable block 21 are fixedly connected to one side surface of the first clamping block 23. The first clamping block 23 can be limited by the setting of the insert rods.
[0030] For example, a first spring 22 is sleeved on the outer wall of the insertion rod, and the first spring 22 can make the first clamping block 23 elastically clamp.
[0031] For example, both sets of movable blocks 21 and the second clamping block 24 are fixedly connected to a slider 25 extending to the bottom of the rotating plate 12 on one side surface. The slider 25 can limit the first clamping block 23 and the second clamping block 24.
[0032] Please see Figure 1 , Figure 3 , Figure 5 , Figure 8 Two sets of second inclined grooves 14 are symmetrically provided on the surface of the rotating plate 12. A first inclined groove 13 is symmetrically provided on the surface of the rotating plate 12 between the two sets of second inclined grooves 14. The slider 25 is respectively sleeved on the inner wall of the first inclined groove 13 and the second inclined groove 14. When the rotating plate 12 rotates, the first clamping block 23 and the second clamping block 24 can be moved by the cooperation of the first inclined groove 13 and the second inclined groove 14, so as to facilitate the testing of the PCB board.
[0033] Please see Figures 4-6 The upper surface of the support plate 11 is provided with four sets of limiting blocks 15 in a cross-shaped symmetrical manner. The slider 25 is slidably connected to the limiting blocks 15. By setting the limiting blocks 15, the slider 25 can only move parallel to the limiting blocks 15.
[0034] Please see Figure 4 Four sets of circularly arranged arc-shaped blocks 16 are fixedly connected to the upper surface of the support plate 11. Multiple sets of ball bearings 17 that contact the bottom of the rotating plate 12 are movably fitted on the upper surface of the arc-shaped blocks 16. The four sets of arc-shaped blocks 16 and the limiting block 15 are staggered. The ball bearings 17 installed on the arc-shaped blocks 16 help to reduce friction and facilitate the rotation of the rotating plate 12. At the same time, the arc-shaped blocks 16 and the ball bearings 17 can support the rotating plate 12.
[0035] Please see Figure 2 and Figure 3 The drive mechanism 4 includes a drive motor 42 fixedly connected to the upper surface of the base plate 1. A mounting base 41 is fixedly mounted on the upper surface of the drive motor 42. The output end of the mounting base 41 is connected to a first bevel gear 43 via a coupling. A second bevel gear 44, which is rotatably connected to the base plate 1, is meshed on one side of the first bevel gear 43. A transmission rod 45 extending above the support plate 11 is fixedly connected to the top of the second bevel gear 44, and the top of the transmission rod 45 is fixedly connected to the rotating plate 12. The drive motor 42 drives the first bevel gear 43 to rotate, and the first bevel gear 43 drives the second bevel gear 44 to rotate. The second bevel gear 44 drives the transmission rod 45 to rotate, which can provide a rotational force to the rotating plate 12. Since the size of the first bevel gear 43 is smaller than that of the second bevel gear 44, it is easier to slow down the rotation speed of the rotating plate 12, and it is easier to clamp and limit the PCB board through the clamping mechanism 2.
[0036] Please see Figure 7 and Figure 8The lower surface of the placement plate 34 is symmetrically fixedly connected with fixed rods 32 extending to the bottom of the rotating plate 12. The top of the support plate 11 is symmetrically fixedly connected with two sets of sleeves 31. The inner walls of the two sets of sleeves 31 are fixedly installed with second springs 33 that are fixedly connected to the bottom of the fixed rods 32. The fixed rods 32 can be limited by the arrangement of the sleeves 31 and the second springs 33, and the fixed rods 32 can move within the sleeves 31.
[0037] For example, two sets of arc-shaped grooves 18 are symmetrically opened on the surface of the rotating plate 12, and the fixing rod 32 is sleeved on the inner wall of the arc-shaped groove 18. The fixing rod 32 can be limited by the setting of the arc-shaped groove 18.
[0038] Working principle: By placing the PCB board to be inspected on the rotating plate 12, the drive motor 42 drives the first bevel gear 43 to rotate. The first bevel gear 43, in conjunction with the second bevel gear 44 and the transmission rod 45, drives the rotating plate 12 to rotate. During the rotation of the rotating plate 12, the slider 25 moves within the inner wall of the limiting block 15 through the setting of the first inclined groove 13 and the second inclined groove 14, thereby driving the first clamping block 23 and the second clamping block 24 to move. The PCB board is clamped by the first clamping block 23 and the second clamping block 24.
[0039] Furthermore, when the PCB board is rectangular, when the first clamping block 23 contacts the PCB board, the second clamping block 24 does not. At this time, the first clamping block 23 compresses the first spring 22, and the second clamping block 24 continues to move and contact the PCB board. Both the first clamping block 23 and the second clamping block 24 pass through inclined plane a (see details). Figure 6 When the first clamping block 23 and the second clamping block 24 continue to move, they press down on the PCB board on the placement plate 34. The fixing rod 32 moves down to compress the second spring 33, which in turn moves the placement plate 34 and the PCB board down until the PCB board is stuck in the plane position at the lower end of the inclined surface of the first clamping block 23 and the second clamping block 24. This clamps and limits the PCB board, making it easier to test and use the PCB board. At this time, the PCB board cannot move up.
