[0029] The following detailed description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, outlines some embodiments of the present invention. Unless otherwise specified, the following embodiments and features can be combined with each other.
[0030] Reference Figure 2 This embodiment provides a circuit board testing fixture, including a guide 10 and a clamping module 20. The guide 10 forms an adjustment path; the clamping module 20 includes two clamping components 210, which are spaced apart from each other on the guide 10, and at least one of the two clamping components 210 is movably positioned along the adjustment path. The clamping component 210 is provided with an electrically energized clamping part 2121.
[0031] In this embodiment, the clamping portions 2121 of the two clamping components 210 are respectively used to clamp the two contacts 601 of the circuit board 60. The clamping portions 2121 are energized to fix the circuit board 60 and perform power-on testing. Furthermore, at least one of the two clamping components 210 is movably positioned along the guide member 10, which allows the spacing between the two clamping components 210 to be adjustable. This enables the circuit boards 60 with different contact point 601 spacings to be matched, resulting in strong versatility, rapid switching between different circuit boards 60, high testing efficiency, no need to develop multiple fixtures, and low testing cost.
[0032] Specifically, a spatial rectangular coordinate system is established with the first perpendicular direction X, the second perpendicular direction Y, and the third perpendicular direction Z as coordinate axes; in some optional embodiments of this embodiment, the adjustment path of the guide 10 is distributed along the first direction X, that is, the two clamping components 210 of the clamping module 20 are spaced apart along the first direction X.
[0033] In addition, only one of the two clamping components 210 of the clamping module 20 can be movable and adjustable along the adjustment path, while the other is fixed to the guide member 10; or both clamping components 210 can be movable along the adjustment path. Both of these are preferred implementation methods.
[0034] The aforementioned "movable positioning setting" refers to the fact that the clamping component 210 can move relative to the guide 10 and can be positioned at any point during the movement process, that is, the positioning position can be infinitely adjusted, thereby making it more adaptable to circuit boards 60 with different contact point 601 spacings.
[0035] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The clamping assembly 210 includes an adjusting member 211, a clamping member 212, and a lead wire 213. The adjusting member 211 is movably positioned on the guide member 10 and has a cable tray 2114; the clamping member 212 is disposed on the adjusting member 211 and has a clamping portion 2121; the lead wire 213 is at least partially housed in the cable tray 2114 and is electrically connected to the clamping portion 2121.
[0036] In this optional embodiment, the clamping assembly 210 includes an adjusting member 211, a clamping member 212, and a lead wire 213. The adjusting member 211 is movably engaged with the guide member 10. The clamping member 212 is used to clamp the circuit board 60. The lead wire 213 is electrically connected to the clamping part 2121 of the clamping member 212 and is housed in the cable tray 2114 of the adjusting member 211. The design is reasonable, the assembly is convenient, and the space occupied is small.
[0037] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, refer to Figure 3 The adjusting member 211 includes a main body 2111, a first branch 2112, and a second branch 2113. The main body 2111 is connected to the clamping member 212; the first branch 2112 is disposed on the main body 2111 and communicates with the interior of the main body 2111 to form a cable tray 2114; the second branch 2113 is disposed on the main body 2111 and is spaced apart from the first branch 2112 to form a limiting groove 2115, and the limiting groove 2115 is movably engaged with the guide member 10.
[0038] Specifically, the guide member 10 is a guide rail distributed along the first direction X. The first branch 2112 and the second branch 2113 are spaced apart along the second direction Y to form a limiting groove 2115, and are limited and connected to both sides of the guide member 10, so that the adjusting member 211 can only move along the first direction X, and the moving adjustment process is stable and reliable.
[0039] In addition, the first branch 2112 is internally connected to the main body 2111 and forms a cable tray 2114, which facilitates the lead wire 213 to pass through the cable tray 2114 and connect to the clamp 212. The cable tray 2114 stores and protects the lead wire 213.
[0040] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, refer to Figure 2 and Figure 3 The adjusting member 211 also includes a fastener 2116, which is located on the second branch 2113 and can be positioned against the guide member 10.
[0041] This optional embodiment proposes a first method for positioning the adjusting member 211 and the guide member 10. The second branch 2113 is provided with a fastener 2116 that abuts against the guide member 10 for positioning, thereby achieving positioning at any point in the adjustment process, i.e., stepless adjustment positioning.
[0042] Understandably, in some alternative embodiments not shown in the figures, it is also desirable to provide a fastener 2116 to the first branch 2112 and to position it against the guide 10; in particular, when the fastener 2116 is provided on the first branch 2112, care should be taken to avoid the fastener 2116 from the lead wire 213 in the cable tray 2114.
[0043] In some embodiments not shown in the figures, the second branch 2113 is provided with a magnet, the guide 10 is made of magnetic material, and the magnet and the magnetic material are magnetically attracted and positioned.
[0044] This optional embodiment proposes a second method for positioning the adjusting member 211 and the guide member 10. The second branch 2113 is magnetically positioned with the guide member 10, thereby achieving positioning at any point in the adjustment process, i.e., stepless adjustment positioning.
[0045] Understandably, the magnetic positioning of the first branch 2112 and the guide 10 is also a desirable implementation method.
[0046] In some embodiments not shown in the figures, the limiting groove 2115 is interference-fitted with the guide 10 and frictionally positioned.
[0047] This optional embodiment proposes a third way of positioning the adjusting member 211 and the guide member 10. The limiting groove 2115 and the guide member 10 are interference fit and frictionally positioned, thereby achieving positioning at any point in the adjustment process, that is, stepless adjustment positioning.
[0048] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, refer to Figure 3 The clamping member 212 includes a connecting part 2122, which is connected to the adjusting member 211, electrically connected to the lead wire 213, and electrically connected to the clamping part 2121.

One end of the clamping member 212 is a clamping part 2121, and the other end is provided with a connecting part 2122 and a pressing part 2123. The connecting part 2122 is detachably connected to the adjusting member 211 by means of bolts or other components, and is electrically connected to the lead wire 213. Applying force to the pressing part 2123 can drive the clamping member 212 to open. The pressing part 2123 can be provided with an insulating sleeve 2124 to protect the operator.
[0050] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, refer to Figure 4 The clamping part 2121 is provided with an electrode 2125, which is electrically connected to the clamping part 2121.
[0051] Optionally, the electrode 2125 is a gold-plated copper needle, and the clamp 212 is a brass alligator clip, which can perform high current testing. The electrode 2125 can be welded to the clamp 2121.
[0052] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 The circuit board testing fixture also includes a bracket 30, a ribbon cable 40, and a terminal block 50. The bracket 30 is provided with multiple guide members 10, and each guide member 10 is provided with multiple clamping modules 20; the ribbon cable 40 is electrically connected to the clamping part 2121 of each clamping module 20; the terminal block 50 is electrically connected to the ribbon cable 40.
[0053] In this optional embodiment, the bracket 30 may be provided with a plurality of guide members 10, which are spaced apart along the second direction Y; each guide member 10 is provided with a plurality of clamping modules 20 spaced apart along the first direction X, and each clamping module 20 clamps a circuit board 60 respectively; that is, the circuit board testing fixture proposed in this embodiment can test multiple circuit boards 60 at the same time, and can also meet the requirement of testing circuit boards 60 with different contact point 601 spacings at the same time, thereby forming different test combinations, with high testing efficiency and better experimental verification.
[0054] In addition, the ribbon cable 40 can be a high-temperature resistant ribbon cable 40, which has multiple ribbon cables and is electrically connected to the lead wires 213 in each clamping component 210. The terminal block 50 can be, but is not limited to, a push-button structure to facilitate quick wiring operations.
[0055] In some optional implementations of this embodiment, refer to Figure 1 The bracket 30 includes a first frame 301, a second frame 302, and a support member 303. The first frame 301 is provided with a plurality of guide members 10; the second frame 302 is spaced apart from the first frame 301, and the ribbon cable 40 is at least partially housed between the first frame 301 and the second frame 302; the support member 303 is supported between the first frame 301 and the second frame 302.
[0056] In this optional embodiment, the clamping module 20 is distributed along the third direction Z. Specifically, one end of the clamping module 20 along the third direction Z uses the clamping member 212 to clamp the circuit board 60, and the other end of the clamping module 20 along the third direction Z is set on the first frame 301 using the adjusting member 211 and the guide member 10. The support member 303 is supported between the first frame 301 and the second frame 302. The ribbon cable 40 enters through the gap between the first frame 301 and the second frame 302 and is electrically connected to the lead wire 213 on the clamping module 20. The arrangement is reasonable, avoids mutual interference between components, facilitates clamping multiple circuit boards 60, and has a high space utilization rate.
[0057] In some optional embodiments of this example, it is also preferable to integrate the lead wire 213 with the ribbon cable 40.
[0058] Optionally, the circuit board 60 in this application may be an FPC, i.e., a flexible circuit board, and the contact 601 on the circuit board 60 in this application may be a PIN.
[0059] It should be noted that the circuit board test fixture may also include other components, such as power supply equipment, which will not be described in detail here.
