Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of testing fixture technology, and more specifically, it relates to a tilt sensor half-hole plate testing fixture based on an elastic steel bent needle. Background Technology
[0002] A half-hole PCB typically refers to a PCB with holes designed at the very edge. The hole is then cut in half using a half-hole process, leaving only half of the hole on the PCB. Commonly known as a half-hole or stamp hole, it features a small hole diameter, internal metallized conductivity, and saves connectors and space, perfectly meeting the market demands for increasingly sophisticated modern electronic circuits. It is mostly used in Bluetooth, tilting modules, and core board substrates, serving as a daughter board to the motherboard, where it is soldered to the motherboard and component leads via these half-metallized holes.
[0003] In the production of tilt sensor half-hole plates (daughter plates), before soldering the mother plate, the daughter plate needs to undergo testing such as programming, function verification, and accuracy calibration. If the pins of the daughter plate are soldered before testing, it will make disassembly difficult or greatly increase the chance of scrapping both the daughter plate and the mother plate after disassembly. Furthermore, the soldering of the pins will affect subsequent accuracy calibration or the customer's user experience. Traditional methods use universal probes to contact the half-hole, but because the half-hole has an inclination angle (e.g., 30°-60°), the probe is prone to misalignment or poor contact, leading to unstable and inaccurate test results. This method is also unsuitable for mass production of tilt sensor half-hole plates. To achieve optimal product testing and solve the problems of difficult mass production testing, soldering, and disassembly of tilt sensor half-hole plates, this utility model proposes a tilt sensor half-hole plate testing fixture based on an elastic steel bent needle. The elastic steel bent needle on which this testing fixture is based has been granted a design patent, with Chinese patent publication number CN307000681S. Utility Model Content

[0006] By adopting the above technical solution, when installing and fixing the tilt sensor half-hole plate to be tested, it can be directly snapped between the corresponding elastic clips.

[0012] The present invention is further configured such that a clearance groove is provided on the fixing plate to avoid the elastic snap-fit component, so that the elastic snap-fit component can be placed in the clearance groove, thereby enabling the entire PCB board to be placed horizontally.

[0026] A test fixture for a tilt sensor half-hole plate based on an elastic steel bent needle includes a PCB board 1, several elastic clips 2, and a fixing plate 3. The fixing plate 3 is used to flatly mount the PCB board 1. The PCB board 1 is used to power the half-hole plate under test, perform program burning, and signal acquisition and output. The elastic clips 2 are used to clip and fix the half-hole plate under test and realize circuit conduction. The PCB board 1 is mounted on the fixing plate 3, and the elastic clips 2 are soldered to the PCB board 1. The half-hole plate under test is fixed to the PCB board 1 by the elastic clips 2, and the half-hole plate and the PCB board 1 are electrically connected by the elastic clips 2.
[0027] The edge of the half-hole plate to be tested has several half-holes, also known as stamp holes, which are metallized and conductive. The elastic snap-fit 2 abuts against the half-holes to fix the half-hole plate and also to achieve electrical connection with the half-hole plate. The PCB board 1 and the fixing plate 3 can be respectively provided with a first fixing hole 103 and a second fixing hole 301. The PCB board 1 and the fixing plate 3 are connected through the first fixing hole 103 and the second fixing hole 301. The fixing plate 3 is also provided with a clearance groove 302.
[0028] Specifically, the elastic clip 2 is fixed to the PCB board 1 by soldering, and the elastic clips 2 are set in pairs. When the half-hole board to be tested is installed, it can be directly clamped between the two corresponding elastic clips 2, and the PCB board 1 and the half-hole board to be tested are electrically connected through the elastic clips 2.

[0031] Specifically, the connecting part 201, the deformable part 202, and the snap-fit part 203 can be formed by bending and deforming a steel needle to form an L-shaped connecting part 201, an inverted J-shaped deformable part 202, and an inclined snap-fit part 203.

[0033] The working principle of the tilt sensor half-hole plate testing fixture based on elastic steel bent needle disclosed in this embodiment of the utility model is as follows:
[0034] Place the half-hole plate of the tilt sensor to be tested between at least two corresponding elastic clips 2 and press it down to cause the deformation part 202 to elastically deform, so that the half-hole plate is smoothly pressed between the clips 203 of the two elastic clips 2. The half-hole plate and the PCB board 1 are electrically connected through the elastic clips 2. The power supply circuit supplies power to the PCB board 1 and the half-hole plate, and the test program, configuration parameters or functional firmware are written into the microcontroller or other programmable device on the half-hole plate through the debugging interface via the program burning circuit. The signal acquisition and output circuit provides the input signals required for the test, such as analog voltage, digital pulse, communication protocol data, etc., to the half-hole plate under test, and acquires the output signal of the half-hole plate under test. After the test is completed, pull the half-hole plate outward to detach it from the elastic clips 2.
