[0002] In the electronics manufacturing industry, solid-state drives (SSDs), as a new generation of storage devices, have gradually become the mainstream configuration of computer systems due to their advantages such as high-speed read / write speeds, low power consumption, and strong shock resistance. To ensure the quality and performance of SSDs, manufacturers typically conduct rigorous testing on them before they leave the factory. SSD testing fixtures, as devices specifically designed for connecting and testing the gold fingers of SSDs, play a crucial role in the production and testing process of SSDs.

[0003] Traditional solid-state drive (SSD) test fixtures typically include components such as a test base, side panels, baffles, slots, and a control panel. During testing, the SSD's gold fingers are inserted into test sockets on the test fixture, simulating the SSD's usage under various operating environments to assess its stability and reliability. However, current SSD test fixtures have a significant drawback: after testing, uneven pulling force when manually removing the gold fingers can easily cause wear between the outer surface of the gold fingers and the inside of the test socket.

Each motor's output end is fixedly connected to a drive rod. Several lifting plates correspond one-to-one with several drive rods. Several drive rods are rotatably connected to the frame. Two symmetrically arranged cams are fixedly connected to the outer surface of each drive rod. The two cams are located below the lifting plates.

[0007] Preferably, in any of the above solutions, the frame has a plurality of linearly arrayed rotating holes through both the front and rear sides, and the drive rod is rotatably connected to the frame through the rotating holes.

[0008] Preferably, in any of the above solutions, two symmetrically arranged threaded holes are provided on both the left and right sides of the frame, and the screw portions of several locking bolts are threadedly connected to the frame through the threaded holes.

This solid-state drive (SSD) test fixture uses a motor to drive a rotating rod, which in turn moves a cam to push the lifting plate upwards, allowing the push rod to smoothly lift the SSD body. A spring provides cushioning during the lifting process, ensuring even force distribution during the separation of the SSD body from the test socket. This automatic ejection mechanism completely avoids the wear problem on the gold fingers caused by uneven force during traditional manual removal.

During testing, simply insert the connector plate 6 of the hard drive body 7 into the test socket 5, and the tester body 16 can perform automated testing through the test socket 5.

[0034] In summary, this solid-state drive (SSD) test fixture uses a motor 11 to drive a drive rod 12 to rotate, which in turn drives a cam 13 to push the lifting plate 9 upward, allowing the push rod 8 to smoothly lift the hard drive body 7. A spring 10 provides cushioning during the lifting process, ensuring uniform force distribution during the separation of the hard drive body 7 from the test socket 5. This automatic ejection mechanism completely avoids the wear problem of gold fingers caused by uneven force during traditional manual removal. The push rod 8, precisely guided by the through hole 17, keeps the hard drive body 7 rising vertically, protecting the integrity of the contact surface between the gold fingers and the test socket 5, significantly improving the reliability and durability of the insertion and removal tests. A modular test design is adopted; the U-shaped frame 3 is precisely positioned using a positioning pin 18 and a positioning hole 19 in the frame 2, ensuring accurate alignment between the test socket 5 and the hard drive body 7.
