[0002] A push-button air conditioner control panel includes a housing, a circuit board mounted on the housing, and buttons. The circuit board has indicator lights and contacts (i.e., switches). When a button is pressed, it presses the contact, thus connecting the circuit to the indicator light and turning it on. Before assembling the circuit board, the circuitry of the indicator lights or the indicator lights themselves needs to be tested for functionality. Currently, this is usually done by manually pressing the contacts after connecting the circuit board to a power source. This method is not only inefficient but also prone to missing components due to the large number of circuit boards. Utility Model Content

[0033] like Figure 1-3 As shown, this utility model provides a circuit board testing device, on which multiple indicator lights 610 are provided and contacts 620 (i.e., switches) for controlling the circuit connection and disconnection of the indicator lights 610 are provided.

[0034] The circuit board testing device includes a body 100, a positioning seat 200, a pressure plate 300, a pressing component, and a driving device.

[0035] The body 100 is equipped with a connector (not shown in the attached diagram), which is used to connect the circuit board to the power supply, thereby providing power to the circuit board.

[0036] The positioning base 200 is fixedly mounted on the machine body 100. A positioning component for positioning the circuit board is provided on the top side wall of the positioning base 200. Specifically, the positioning component includes multiple first positioning posts 210 that are adapted to the through holes 630 on the circuit board. During operation, the circuit board is placed in a preset position on the positioning base 200, so that the first positioning posts 210 are inserted into the corresponding through holes 630 on the circuit board. The cooperation between the first positioning posts 210 and the through holes 630 on the circuit board achieves the purpose of positioning the circuit board.

[0037] Preferably, the positioning component further includes a plurality of second positioning posts 220 that mate with the sidewalls of the circuit board. The plurality of second positioning posts 220 enclose a positioning area adapted to the circuit board, and the length of the second positioning posts 220 is greater than the length of the first positioning posts 210. During operation, the circuit board is placed in a preset position on the positioning seat 200, causing the first positioning posts 210 to insert into the corresponding through holes 630 on the circuit board, and the sidewalls of the circuit board to abut against the sidewalls of the second positioning seat 200. The cooperation between the second positioning seat 200 and the sidewalls of the circuit board improves the stability and reliability of the circuit board positioning. Simultaneously, the second positioning posts 220 enclose a positioning area; as long as the circuit board is placed within this positioning area, the first positioning posts 210 correspond to the through holes 630 on the circuit board, thus enabling the circuit board to be quickly and accurately placed in the preset position on the positioning seat 200.

[0038] Preferably, the positioning seat 200 is detachably connected to the body 100 so that the corresponding positioning seat 200 can be replaced according to the shape of the circuit board to be tested, thereby improving the versatility of the entire device.

[0039] A pressure plate 300 is positioned above the positioning seat 200 and is slidably connected to the machine body 100, allowing the pressure plate 300 to move vertically only. A pressing assembly for pressing the contact 620 is correspondingly provided on the pressure plate 300. The pressing assembly includes a pressing arm 310, with one end connected to the pressure plate 300 and the second end extending downwards. A drive device is mounted on the machine body 100 and is drively connected to the pressure plate 300 to drive its vertical movement. During operation, the drive device drives the pressure plate 300 downwards, thereby driving the pressing arm 310 downwards to press the contact 620. Then, the drive device drives the pressure plate 300 upwards, thereby driving the pressing arm 310 upwards to complete the pressing operation and detection.

[0040] Specifically, during testing, firstly, the circuit board to be tested is placed at the target position on the positioning seat 200 and the connector is connected to the circuit board. Then, the driving device drives the pressure plate 300 to move downward, thereby driving the pressing arm 310 to move downward. The pressing arm 310 presses the contact 620, thereby connecting the circuit of the corresponding indicator light 610. If the indicator light 610 lights up, it indicates that the circuit of the target indicator light 610 and the indicator light 610 itself are not damaged; otherwise, it indicates that the circuit of the target indicator light 610 and / or the indicator light 610 itself are damaged. Afterward, the driving device drives the pressure plate 300 to rise, and the pressure plate 300, along with the pressing arm 310, rises to complete the pressing operation. At the same time, the pressure plate 300 and the pressing arm 310 are moved to a preset position above the positioning seat 200 to facilitate the removal and placement of the circuit board. Then, the tested circuit board is removed. By repeating the above steps, the purpose of continuously testing different circuit boards can be achieved. The operation is simple, and it can simultaneously press the contact 620 corresponding to each indicator light 610, resulting in high testing efficiency.

[0041] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the driving device includes a cylinder 410, and the power output shaft of the cylinder 410 is connected to the pressure plate 300. During operation, the extension or retraction of the power output shaft of the cylinder 410 drives the pressure plate 300 to rise or fall.

[0042] Of course, in other embodiments, the driving device may include one of a hydraulic cylinder, an electric actuator, or an electro-hydraulic actuator, and may also include a lead screw and nut structure and a motor for driving the lead screw of the lead screw and nut structure to rotate. Further details will not be elaborated here.

[0043] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, the driving device further includes a lifting seat 420, which is slidably connected to the body 100 so that the lifting seat 420 can only move vertically. Specifically, the lifting seat 420 and the body 100 are respectively provided with a sliding sleeve 421 and a guide rod 110 that cooperate with each other. During operation, the sliding sleeve 421 and the guide rod 110 cooperate to guide the movement direction of the lifting seat 420.

[0044] The power output shaft of cylinder 410 is connected to lifting seat 420. Lifting seat 420 is detachably connected to pressure plate 300 to facilitate the disassembly and replacement of pressure plate 300. At the same time, the pressure plate 300 can be replaced according to the circuit board to be tested, thereby improving the versatility of the entire device.

[0045] Specifically, the pressure plate 300 is connected to the lifting seat 420 via a connecting assembly. The connecting assembly includes connecting bolts and clamping nuts 510. There are three connecting bolts. The first end of the connecting bolt is fixedly connected to the pressure plate 300. The lifting seat 420 has corresponding connecting holes. The free end of the connecting bolt passes through the connecting hole and is connected to the clamping nut 510.

[0046] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, a flexible pad 340 is fixedly sleeved at the bottom end of the pressing arm 310, so that the pressing arm 310 can press the contact point 620 in a flexible contact manner, thereby avoiding damage to the contact point 620. Specifically, the flexible pad 340 is made of silicone, rubber, etc.

[0047] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in this embodiment, the pressing arm 310 is slidably connected to the pressure plate 300, allowing the pressing arm 310 to move vertically. An elastic element is sleeved on the pressing arm 310, with both ends connected to the pressing arm 310 and the pressure plate 300 respectively. In its natural state, the elastic element applies a spring force to the pressing arm 310, causing it to tend to move downwards. During the pressing of the contact 620 by the pressing arm 310, the pressing arm 310 can overcome the spring force of the elastic element and move under the reaction force of the circuit board, thereby preventing damage to the contact 620 due to excessive pressure.

[0048] Specifically, the elastic element can be a spring 320, a rubber spring 320, etc. In this embodiment, the elastic element is a spring 320.

[0049] like Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, a limiting post 350 is provided at the bottom of the pressure plate 300 and / or the top of the positioning seat 200. In this embodiment, the limiting post 350 is fixedly disposed at the bottom of the pressure plate. When pressed, the free end of the limiting post 350 cooperates with the pressure plate 300, the positioning seat 200, or the circuit board, so that when the pressure plate 300 moves to the point where the free end of the limiting post 350 contacts the pressure plate 300, the positioning seat 200, or the circuit board, the pressure plate 300 cannot continue to move downward, thereby limiting the downward stroke of the pressure plate 300, and further limiting the pressure applied by the pressing arm 310 to the contact point 620, so as to further prevent damage to the contact point 620 due to excessive pressure.

[0050] Preferably, multiple limit posts 350 are provided to improve the stability and reliability of limiting the downward stroke of the pressure plate 300.

[0051] like Figure 3As shown, an adjusting nut 330 is provided at the bottom end of the pressing arm 310, and the adjusting nut 330 is threadedly connected to the pressing arm 310. Both ends of the elastic element are connected to the adjusting nut 330 and the pressure plate 300, respectively. During operation, the position of the adjusting nut 330 on the pressing arm 310 can be changed by rotating it, thereby adjusting the initial elastic force of the elastic element. This ensures that when pressing, the pressure applied to the contact point 620 by all pressing arms 310 remains within a preset range, thus preventing damage to some contacts 620 due to uneven pressure applied by each pressing arm 310 to the corresponding contact point 620.

[0052] Preferably, at least two adjusting nuts 330 are provided. During operation, by tightening the two adjusting nuts 330, an axial force is generated between the two adjusting nuts 330. Under the action of this axial force, the friction between the nut teeth of the adjusting nuts 330 and the bolt teeth of the pressing arm 310 is increased, thereby improving the stability and reliability of maintaining the position of the adjusting nuts 330.

[0053] Numerous specific details are set forth in this specification. However, it will be understood that embodiments of this invention may be practiced without these specific details. In some instances, well-known methods, structures, and techniques have not been shown in detail so as not to obscure the understanding of this specification.

[0054] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and not to limit it. Although the utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some or all of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model, and they should all be covered within the scope of the claims and specification of this utility model.
