Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of quality inspection equipment technology, and in particular to a high and low temperature aging test device for EC fan motherboards. Background Technology

[0002] Aging tests refer to the process of conducting experiments that simulate the aging effects of various factors encountered by a product under real-world usage conditions.

[0003] Commonly used EC fan motherboard quality inspection equipment generally includes a freezer chamber, a heating chamber, and a vibration chamber. These chambers are used to subject the target EC fan motherboard to fixed-cycle freezing, heating, and vibration treatments to simulate the actual application environment of the product. After undergoing these enhanced tests, the motherboard is then functionally tested to ensure that its anti-aging performance meets quality requirements.

[0004] Because EC fan motherboards are circular in shape, existing EC fan motherboard quality inspection equipment mostly uses flat-layout fixtures for anti-aging tests. This has the following disadvantages: 1. The flat-layout fixture only exposes the top surface to alternating hot and cold temperatures, which differs from the actual working environment and makes the experiment less rigorous; 2. The flat-layout fixture can only perform a limited number of tests per cycle, making it difficult to meet the aging test requirements of large batches of EC fan motherboards; 3. When removing the flat-layout fixture, the EC fan motherboards need to be manually removed one by one, which is very time-consuming and labor-intensive. Utility Model Content
