Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of automated testing technology, and in particular to a PCB testing fixture that can be quickly positioned. Background Technology

[0002] In modern electronics manufacturing, as electronic products become smaller and more multifunctional, the design of printed circuit boards (PCBs) is becoming increasingly complex, with a significant increase in component density. Traditional PCB test fixtures, due to their fixed design, struggle to adapt to the need for rapid switching between various PCB specifications and sizes, requiring tedious manual adjustments each time a test object is changed. This not only consumes a significant amount of time and reduces production efficiency, but also introduces errors during manual adjustments, affecting the consistency and accuracy of test results. Especially in high-volume production lines, frequent product model changes place even greater demands on the flexibility and responsiveness of testing equipment.

[0003] The limitations of traditional fixtures are mainly reflected in insufficient positioning accuracy, long changeover times, and low automation. For example, before performing functional or electrical performance tests, operators always need to spend extra time ensuring that the PCB is correctly and securely mounted on the fixture. Furthermore, due to differences between products, manual adjustments can lead to accelerated equipment wear, further increasing maintenance costs and downtime risks.

[0004] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a PCB test fixture that is easy to adapt and can be quickly positioned. Utility Model Content

[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of traditional fixtures, such as insufficient positioning accuracy and long changeover time, the present invention aims to provide a PCB test fixture that can be quickly positioned.

[0006] The technical solution of this utility model is as follows: This utility model provides a PCB test fixture that can be quickly positioned, including a body and a positioning mechanism. The positioning mechanism for PCB positioning is slidably mounted on the body. The positioning mechanism includes a wheel axle plate, rollers, cylinder one, cylinder two, a support plate, connecting rods, bearing seats, and sliders. Cylinder two is mounted on the body. Sliders are slidably mounted on both sides of the body. A support plate is connected between the sliders on the same side.

Detailed Implementation

[0020] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0021] Example 1: A PCB test fixture for rapid positioning, such as Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, the device includes a body 1 and a positioning mechanism 2. The positioning mechanism 2 is slidably mounted on the body 1 to achieve rapid clamping and precise positioning of the PCB board, ensuring that it is in the correct position during testing. The positioning mechanism 2 includes a wheel and axle plate 201, a roller 202, a first cylinder 204, a second cylinder 205, a support plate 206, a connecting rod 208, a bearing seat 209, and a slider 210. The second cylinder 205 is located on the front side of the inside of the body 1. Two sliders 210 are slidably mounted on both the left and right sides of the body 1. A support plate 206 is installed between every two sliders 210. The second cylinder 205 is connected to the left support plate 206 through an output shaft. The second cylinder 205 pushes the left support plate 206 to move, achieving adaptive clamping of PCBs of different lengths. The bottom of the support plate 206 is rotatably connected to the connecting rod 208. The middle part of the body 1 A bearing seat 209 is provided, and two connecting rods 208 are rotatably connected to the bearing seat 209. The connecting rods 208 are connected to the two side support plates 206, and synchronous movement is achieved through linkage with the bearing seat 209. A cylinder 204 is provided at the middle of both ends of the support plate 206. A wheel axle plate 201 is installed on the output shaft at the top of the cylinder 204. The wheel axle plate 201 has an L-shaped structure, and rollers 202 are rotatably connected to both ends. The rollers 202 contact the four corners of the PCB to achieve flexible positioning and prevent damage to the PCB surface. An anti-static sleeve is provided on the rollers 202. During the operation and movement of the PCB, electrostatic discharge may cause irreversible damage to the electronic components on the circuit board. The anti-static sleeve can effectively reduce or eliminate the accumulation of static electricity when the rollers 202 contact the PCB, thereby avoiding the potential threat of static electricity to sensitive components.

[0022] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, it also includes a slide block 1, a limiting rod 203, and an elastic element 4. The slide block 207 is installed inside the machine body 1. The bottom of the slide block 207 is slidably connected to the support plate 206. The support plate 206 is provided with two limiting rods 203, both located on one side of the axle plate 201, to prevent the axle plate 201 from rotating too much and to ensure that the axle plate 201 and its rollers 202 move within a preset angle range, thus ensuring the accurate positioning of the PCB board. The axle plate 201 is equipped with an elastic element 4. When placing the PCB board, the elastic element 4 can absorb impact and vibration, preventing hard contact from causing physical damage to the PCB.

[0023] When it is necessary to test the positioning of PCBs of different sizes, the PCB is placed between the four wheel axle plates 201. The second cylinder 205 is activated to push the support plate 206 to move, and the slider 210 moves accordingly. At the same time, the connecting rod 208 connected to the support plate 206 is driven through the bearing seat 209, thereby driving the other support plate 206 to move synchronously. This achieves adaptive clamping of PCBs of different lengths, which greatly improves the versatility of the fixture, reduces the time for changing fixtures, and improves testing efficiency. Then, all the first cylinders 204 are activated to drive the wheel axle plates 201 to rotate, so that the rollers 202 on them move closer to the four corners of the PCB and push it to complete the precise positioning. This ensures that the PCB is firmly and accurately fixed in the predetermined position, which facilitates subsequent operations, reduces the need for manual intervention and errors by operators, and lowers labor costs.

[0024] Example 2: Based on Example 1, such as Figure 1 and Figure 4 As shown, the system also includes a lifting mechanism 3 mounted on the body 1, which can adjust the height of the detection module to accurately align it with different areas of the PCB. The lifting mechanism 3 includes a mounting plate 5, a cylinder 301, a slide block 302, an electric slide rail 303, a motor 304, a threaded rod 305, a guide rod 306, and a detection plate 307. The mounting plate 5 is mounted on the rear side of the body 1. The motor 304 is located in the middle of the right side of the mounting plate 5. A threaded rod 305 is mounted on the output shaft on the left side of the motor 304. Two guide rods 306 are located in the middle of the mounting plate 5 to provide guidance for the horizontal movement process and enhance the stability of the system operation. An electric slide rail 303 is slidably mounted on the guide rods 306, and the rear side of the electric slide rail 303 is threadedly connected to the threaded rod 305. A slide block 302 is slidably mounted on the electric slide rail 303. A cylinder 301 is mounted on the slide block 302. The detection plate 307 is connected to the bottom output shaft of the cylinder 301.

[0025] When the position of the detection plate 307 needs to be adjusted, the motor 304 is started. The motor 304 drives the threaded rod 305 to rotate, thereby causing the electric slide rail 303 connected to it to move and adjust horizontally along the thread, thus achieving precise positioning of the detection plate 307 in the X-axis direction. Activating the electric slide rail 303 allows the slide block 302 to be adjusted vertically under the action of the electric slide rail 303, further improving the adaptability of the detection plate 307 in the height direction. Thus, the detection plate 307 can flexibly adjust its position in both horizontal and vertical directions according to the size of different PCB boards and detection requirements, ensuring that it can be accurately aligned with the area to be tested, significantly improving detection efficiency and quality.

It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications, improvements, and substitutions without departing from the concept of the present invention, and these all fall within the protection scope of the present invention. Therefore, the protection scope of the present invention should be determined by the appended claims.
