Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of test bracket technology, specifically an adjustable test bracket for solid-state drives. Background Technology

[0002] Solid-state drives (SSDs) are storage devices that store data in flash memory. They are hard drives made using solid-state electronic storage chip arrays and consist of a control unit and storage units. SSDs are completely identical to regular hard drives in terms of interface specifications and definitions, functions, and usage. During the production of SSDs, they need to be tested to ensure that the production quality meets the standards.

[0003] Based on the above, the inventors have discovered the following problems: Currently, solid-state drive (SSD) testing mostly involves manually inserting the hard drive port into the test slot. The process of manually aligning the SSD with the test slot and inserting it is cumbersome. Before each insertion, the interface direction must be carefully observed and the angle adjusted. During continuous testing, the insertion and removal operations alone consume a lot of time, affecting the product delivery schedule.

[0004] Therefore, in view of this, we have studied and improved the existing structure and its shortcomings, and provided an adjustable test bracket for solid-state drives in order to achieve a more practical purpose. Utility Model Content

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide an adjustable test bracket for solid-state drives (SSDs) to solve the problem mentioned in the background art that current SSD testing often involves manually inserting the hard drive port into the test slot, which is a cumbersome process.

[0006] In view of the above problems, the technical solution proposed by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] An adjustable test bracket for solid-state drives includes a test mechanism, an adjustment mechanism, and a positioning mechanism. The test mechanism includes a base, on one side of the upper surface of which a test frame is fixedly mounted. A plurality of insertion slots are installed on the upper side of one side of the test frame. The adjustment mechanism includes a support frame, the bottom of which is connected to one side of the upper surface of the base. A lifting frame is slidably mounted inside the support frame. The positioning mechanism includes a support plate, on the upper surface of which a moving block is slidably mounted. A limiting groove is formed on one side of the upper surface of the moving block. Sliding grooves are formed on both sides of the upper surface of the limiting groove, and a pair of limiting blocks are slidably mounted between a pair of sliding grooves.

[0008] Furthermore, a screw is rotatably connected to the bottom of the support frame, and a sleeve is inserted into the bottom of the lifting frame, with the screw and sleeve being threadedly connected.

[0009] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the threaded connection between the screw and the sleeve forms a lifting transmission structure. By rotating the screw, the lifting height of the lifting frame can be controlled, which can meet the needs of different height positions for the insertion test of solid-state drives of different specifications.

[0010] Furthermore, a worm gear is fitted at the bottom end of the screw, and a worm is rotatably connected to the inside of the support frame on one side of the worm gear.

[0011] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the meshing of the worm gear and the worm forms a speed reduction transmission. By utilizing the self-locking characteristics of the worm gear and the worm, the lifting frame can be automatically locked after being adjusted to the target height, thus ensuring the stability of the test.

[0012] Furthermore, the worm and the worm wheel mesh with each other, and one end of the worm extends through the support frame to the outside and is fitted with a first handwheel.

[0013] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the connection between the first handwheel and the worm gear provides a manual operation interface. By rotating the first handwheel, the worm gear can be easily driven to rotate, which in turn drives the worm wheel and screw to rotate, thereby realizing the lifting and lowering adjustment of the lifting frame. The operation is convenient and labor-saving.

[0014] Furthermore, a movable groove is provided at the center of the limiting groove, and a bidirectional screw is rotatably connected inside the movable groove.

[0015] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the moving slot and the bidirectional screw provide a transmission basis for the movement of the limit block. The forward and reverse rotation of the bidirectional screw can drive the limit blocks on both sides to move synchronously towards or away from each other, adapting to the positioning needs of solid-state drives of different widths and improving the versatility of the device.

[0016] Furthermore, both ends of the bidirectional screw are threaded with sliders, and the top ends of a pair of sliders are respectively connected to the bottom ends of a pair of limiting blocks.

[0017] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the slider is threadedly connected to the bidirectional screw, which converts the rotational motion of the bidirectional screw into the linear motion of the slider, thereby driving the limiting block to slide in the groove, ensuring that the limiting blocks on both sides move synchronously, limiting the solid-state drive and centering it, so that users can directly place solid-state drives of the same specifications between a pair of limiting blocks. By sliding the moving block, the same specifications of solid-state drives can be continuously plugged in and tested without having to realign them every time they are inserted into the plug slot.

[0018] Furthermore, one end of the bidirectional screw extends outward through the moving groove and is fitted with a second handwheel.

[0019] The beneficial effect of adopting the above-mentioned further solution is that the second handwheel is connected to the bidirectional screw, and the spacing of the limit block can be quickly adjusted by manually rotating the second handwheel, so as to realize the rapid positioning of solid-state drives of different specifications. The operation is simple and intuitive, and the testing efficiency is improved.

[0020] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: The adjustable test bracket used for the solid-state drive provides a basic platform for solid-state drive testing through the base and test frame of the test mechanism; the insertion slot is used to install the test interface for easy connection of the solid-state drive; the support frame and lifting frame of the adjustment mechanism can adjust the height of the support plate through the threaded engagement of the screw and the sleeve to adapt to the height requirements of different test stations; the limiting groove and limiting block of the positioning mechanism can fix the position of the solid-state drive to ensure stable connection during testing; the threaded connection between the screw and the sleeve forms a lifting transmission structure, and the lifting can be controlled by rotating the screw. The lifting height of the mounting bracket meets the needs of different height positions for testing the insertion of solid-state drives (SSDs) of different specifications. The slider is threadedly connected to the bidirectional screw, converting the rotational motion of the bidirectional screw into the linear motion of the slider, which in turn drives the limiting block to slide within the groove. This ensures that the limiting blocks on both sides move synchronously, limiting and centering the SSD. This allows users to place SSDs of the same specifications directly between a pair of limiting blocks. By sliding the moving block, insertion tests of SSDs of the same specifications can be performed continuously without the need for realignment each time the SSD is inserted into the insertion slot.

[0028] 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.

[0029] Please see Figures 1-4 A screw 104 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the support frame 201. A sleeve 105 is inserted into the bottom of the lifting frame 202. The screw 104 and the sleeve 105 are threaded together. A worm gear 106 is fitted onto the bottom of the screw 104.

[0030] 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.

[0031] Please see Figures 1-4A movable groove 306 is provided at the center of the limiting groove 303. A bidirectional screw 308 is rotatably connected inside the movable groove 306. Both ends of the bidirectional screw 308 are threadedly connected to sliders 309. The top ends of a pair of sliders 309 are respectively connected to the bottom ends of a pair of limiting blocks 304. One end of the bidirectional screw 308 extends outward through the movable groove 306 and is fitted with a second handwheel 307. The movable groove 306 and the bidirectional screw 308 provide a transmission basis for the movement of the limiting blocks 304. The forward and reverse rotation of the bidirectional screw 308 can drive the two limiting blocks 304 to move synchronously towards or away from each other, adapting to the positioning needs of solid-state drives of different widths and improving the versatility of the device. The sliders 309 are threadedly connected to the bidirectional screw 308, which... The rotational motion of rod 308 is converted into the linear motion of slider 309, which in turn drives the limiting block 304 to slide within the groove 305, ensuring that the limiting blocks 304 on both sides move synchronously, limiting the solid-state drive and centering it. This makes it convenient for users to place solid-state drives of the same specifications directly between a pair of limiting blocks 304. By sliding the moving block 302, the same specifications of solid-state drives can be continuously tested for insertion without the need for re-alignment each time they are inserted into the insertion slot 103. The second handwheel 307 is connected to the bidirectional screw 308. By manually rotating the second handwheel 307, the spacing of the limiting blocks 304 can be quickly adjusted, enabling rapid positioning of solid-state drives of different specifications. The operation is simple and intuitive, improving testing efficiency.

[0032] Specifically, the working principle of this adjustable test bracket for solid-state drives is as follows: First, according to the testing requirements, the first handwheel 203 is rotated to drive the worm gear 107 to rotate. The worm wheel 106 then reduces the speed and drives the screw 104 to rotate. The threaded engagement between the screw 104 and the sleeve 105 causes the lifting frame 202 to rise and fall, adjusting the support plate 301 to a height compatible with the insertion slot 103 of the test bracket 102. The position is locked using the self-locking characteristic of the worm gear. Next, according to the width of the solid-state drive, the second handwheel 307 is rotated to drive the bidirectional screw 308 to rotate. The sliders 309 on both sides synchronously drive the limiting blocks 304 to move within the sliding grooves 305. The spacing of the limiting grooves 303 is adjusted to be slightly larger than the width of the hard drive. After placing the hard drive into the limiting grooves 303, the handwheel is rotated in the opposite direction. Turn the second handwheel 307 to clamp the two sides of the hard drive with the limiting block 304. Then slide the moving block 302 to align the hard drive interface with the insertion slot 103 and insert it to complete the test connection. During the test, the height locking of the lifting bracket 202 and the clamping force of the limiting block 304 ensure the stability of the hard drive position and avoid poor contact due to shaking. After the test is completed, release the limiting block 304 and take out the hard drive. If you need to test the same specification of hard drives continuously, after fixing the hard drive with the limiting block 304, you can directly slide the moving block 302. Since the height of the moving block 302 has been adjusted to match the position of the insertion slot 103, when performing the same specification of solid-state drive insertion test, you can directly push the moving block 302 to accurately insert it into the insertion slot 103, which improves the testing efficiency.
