[0019] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand this utility model, the technical solution of this utility model will be further described below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0020] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model discloses a connector PIN detection device. A cover plate 2 is installed on the top of the housing 1, a base 3 is installed on the bottom of the housing 1, and a partition plate 4 is installed inside the housing 1. The partition plate 4 divides the housing 1 into two parts to form an installation cavity 5 and a connection cavity 6. A battery holder 7 is installed on one side inside the installation cavity 5, and a battery 8 is installed inside the battery holder 7. An LED detection module 9 is connected to the output end of the battery holder 7, and a plurality of probes 10 are connected to the output end of the LED detection module 9. The plurality of probes 10 penetrate the partition plate 4 and extend to its lower side.

[0021] Preferably, the top outer side of the housing 1 is provided with a positioning groove 11, and the outer side of the cover plate 2 is provided with a bent plate 12. The inner side of the bent plate 12 is provided with a positioning protrusion 13 corresponding to the positioning groove 11. This structural design facilitates the stable installation of the cover plate 2. In practice, other installation structure shapes for the housing 1 and the cover plate 2 can also be considered depending on the specific circumstances.

[0022] Preferably, the battery 8 is a rechargeable battery, and the output end of the battery holder 7 is connected to an electrical connection cable 14. The electrical connection cable 14 is located inside the connection cavity 6 and is connected to the LED detection module 9. This structural design facilitates the reuse of the battery 8, while the connection cavity protects and stores the electrical connection cable, making the overall structure more organized and convenient for the installation, disassembly, and daily maintenance of the equipment. In practice, other connection structure shapes for the battery holder 7 can also be considered depending on the specific circumstances.

[0023] Preferably, the LED detection module 9 includes a mounting base 15 installed within the mounting cavity 5. A plurality of LEDs 16 are mounted on the mounting base 15, and conductive rods 17 are connected to the bottom of the LEDs 16. The conductive rods 17 are installed within the connection cavity 6, and probes 10 are positioned at the bottom of the conductive rods 17. The number and arrangement of the probes 10 are adapted to the specifications and installation positions of the PIN pins of the object to be tested. This structural design facilitates connection and testing with the object to be tested. In practice, other structural shapes of the LED detection module 9 can also be considered depending on the specific circumstances.

[0024] Preferably, a switch 18 is also installed inside the mounting cavity 5, and the switch 18 is connected to the LED detection module 9. This structural design can control the opening and closing of the LED detection module 9. In practice, other control structure shapes for the LED detection module 9 can also be considered depending on the specific circumstances.

[0025] In this embodiment, when the PIN pin test of the object to be tested 19 is required, the operator first installs the rechargeable battery 8 in the battery holder 7, turns on the LED detection module 9 through the switch 18, and then places the object to be tested 19 in a suitable position so that the probe 10 of the detection device accurately aligns with the PIN pin of the object to be tested 19. At this time, the LED detection module 9 establishes a connection with the PIN pin of the object to be tested 19 through the probe 10. When the PIN pin is detected to be installed correctly and a valid electrical connection is formed, the LED light 16 on the LED detection module 9 lights up. When the PIN pin of the object to be tested 19 is not installed correctly and a valid electrical connection is not formed, the LED light 16 does not light up. This achieves direct electrical conduction between the probe 10 and the PIN pin, which, together with the LED light display, can effectively avoid misjudgment and missed judgment caused by human subjective judgment, significantly reduce the product defect rate, and reduce subsequent rework costs.

[0026] It also includes a testing platform for placing the PIN pins of the object to be tested 19. The testing platform has positioning slots corresponding to the installation positions of the PIN pins, which facilitates the accurate placement and fixation of the PIN pins and improves the stability and accuracy of the test.
