[0013] The above technical solution prevents the SSD under test from becoming loose easily, thereby improving the stability of the SSD under test during insertion and removal testing.

[0014] Preferably, a top cylinder is provided below the fixing platform, the inner diameter of the top cylinder is the same as the outer diameter of the insertion cylinder, an extension plate is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the top cylinder, a return spring and a stabilizing telescopic rod are fixedly provided at the top end of the extension plate, the return spring and the stabilizing telescopic rod are fixedly provided at the bottom end of the fixing platform, and the return spring and the stabilizing telescopic rod are symmetrically arranged on the outside of the insertion cylinder.

The insertion cylinder is inserted through the fixing platform, and two locking blocks will come out from the storage slot, thus preventing the insertion cylinder from being pulled upward. This provides a locking effect on the clamping assembly in the clamped state. The locking blocks can be unlocked by raising the top cylinder, preventing the SSD under test from easily loosening, thereby improving the stability of the SSD under test during insertion and removal testing.

[0021] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0022] Please see Figure 1-8 This utility model provides a technical solution: an SSD testing mechanism, comprising: A pressure table 1 and a fixed table 2 are provided below the pressure table 1. A clamping assembly 3 is provided on both sides of the pressure table 1. The clamping assembly 3 is used to provide a constant and uniform clamping force for SSD8s of different widths to be tested. The clamping assembly 3 includes toothed plates 301 symmetrically arranged on both sides of the pressure table 1. A gear 302 is meshed on the side of the toothed plates 301 that is far apart from each other. A connecting block 303 is fixedly provided at both ends of the gear 302. A clamping plate 306 is fixedly provided at the top of the connecting block 303. A fixed slide cylinder 308 is fixedly provided on the side of the toothed plates 301 that is close to each other. A screw ring 309 is rotatably provided at the other end of the fixed slide cylinder 308. A screw rod 310 is threadedly connected to the inner side of the screw ring 309. The screw rod 310 is slidably provided on the inner side of the fixed slide cylinder 308. A receiving plate 311 is fixedly provided at one end of the screw rod 310. The receiving plate 311 is therefore necessarily provided at the bottom end of the pressure table 1.

[0023] In this embodiment, the SSD8 to be tested is placed on the top of the pressure platform 1 and pressed down, so that the pressure platform 1 also descends synchronously. The descent of the pressure platform 1 causes the two toothed plates 301 on both sides to descend together, thereby causing the gear 302 meshing with it to rotate. The gear 302 will then drive the connecting block 303 to rotate, and cause the connecting slide 305 connected with it to flip. The two connecting slides 305 are in a flipped and closed state, that is, the connecting slides 305 change from an inclined state to a vertical state, thereby forming a clamp on the SSD8 to be tested, which facilitates the insertion and removal testing of the SSD8 to be tested.

[0024] When it is necessary to test SSD8 of different widths, rotate the screw ring 309 so that the screw 310 can slide inside the fixed slide cylinder 308. Since the receiving plate 311 is fixed to the bottom of the pressure table 1, the toothed plate 301 can move closer to or further away from the receiving plate 311. This allows for adjusting the distance between the two toothed plates 301. Through the connection of the connecting slide 305, the gear 302 and the connecting slide 305 can be driven synchronously, so that the connecting slide 305 can clamp SSD8 of different widths. The angle of rotation of the connecting slide 305 is consistent each time it is flipped, so the clamping force it provides is also consistent, which can provide a uniform clamping force for the SSD8 to be tested.

[0025] It should be noted that a connecting rod 304 is rotatably provided on the side of the connecting blocks 303 that are far apart from each other, and a connecting slide 305 is fixedly provided on the other end of the connecting rod 304. The connecting slide 305 passes through and slides on one side of the bearing frame 4. The connecting slide 305 slides on both sides of the toothed plate 301. A clamping pad 307 is fixedly provided on the side of the clamping plates 306 that are close to each other. The clamping pad 307 is made of rubber material.

[0026] When the toothed plate 301 descends, it will slide between the connecting slides 305. The connecting slides 305 are connected to the bearing frame 4, so the height will not change. Only when the distance between the toothed plate 301 and the bearing plate 311 is adjusted, the connecting slides 305 will slide inside the bearing frame 4 and the distance between the two connecting slides 305 will be adjusted simultaneously.

[0027] The 307 pad, made of rubber, provides protection for the SSD8 under test and also protects the casing of the SSD8 under test from scratches.

[0028] Furthermore, sliding legs 101 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the bottom of the pressure table 1, and fixed shells 201 are fixedly installed at the four corners of the top of the fixed table 2. The sliding legs 101 are slidably installed inside the fixed shells 201. A receiving frame 202 is symmetrically fixedly installed at the top of the fixed table 2, and the receiving frame 202 is fixedly installed at the bottom of the bearing frame 4.

[0029] When the pressure plate 1 is pressed down, the sliding leg 101 will slide inside the fixed shell 201. It should be noted that the fixed shell 201 and the sliding leg 101 are interference fit, that is, the sliding leg 101 will have a certain resistance when sliding inside the fixed shell 201 to prevent the pressure plate 1 from rising too fast.

[0030] The receiving frame 202 serves to connect the fixed platform 2 and the carrier frame 4, so that the carrier frame 4 can be located above the fixed platform 2 or outside the pressing platform 1, and the SSD8 to be tested after being clamped is also located on top of the carrier frame 4, forming a support.

[0031] The bottom of the pressing platform 1 is fixedly provided with a tube 7 and a return spring 701. The return spring 701 is fixedly provided at the top of the fixed platform 2. The tube 7 passes through the fixed platform 2. The other end of the tube 7 is symmetrically provided with a storage groove 702. The bottom of the inner side of the tube 7 is fixedly provided with a partition plate 703. The opposite sides of the partition plate 703 are symmetrically provided with guide plates 704. The outer side of the guide plate 704 is slidably provided with a locking block 706. The locking block 706 and the partition plate 703 are fixedly provided with a return spring 705. The bottom side of the locking block 706 is set with an inclined surface.

[0032] In this embodiment, when the pressure plate 1 is pressed down, the insertion cylinder 7 will descend and pass through the fixing plate 2. The fixing plate 2 has a circular hole corresponding to the insertion cylinder 7, and at the same time, the return spring 701 will gradually compress. The elastic force of the return spring 701 facilitates automatic opening after unlocking the clamping assembly 3, allowing the SSD 8 to be tested to be removed. When the locking block 706 contacts the circular hole, due to the inclined surface on one side of the bottom of the locking block 706, the locking block 706 will enter the storage groove 702 and slide along the guide plate 704. At the same time, the return spring 705 will compress. When the locking block 706 has completely passed through the circular hole, the elastic force of the return spring 705 allows the locking block 706 to come out from the inside of the storage groove 702 and form an abutment with the bottom of the fixing plate 2, preventing the insertion cylinder 7 from rising. This achieves the locking effect of the clamping assembly 3, preventing the clamped SSD 8 to be tested from loosening.

[0033] A top cylinder 6 is provided below the fixed platform 2. The inner diameter of the top cylinder 6 is the same as the outer diameter of the insertion cylinder 7. An extension plate 603 is fixedly provided at the bottom end of the top cylinder 6. A return spring 601 and a stabilizing telescopic rod 602 are fixedly provided at the top end of the extension plate 603. The return spring 601 and the stabilizing telescopic rod 602 are fixedly provided at the bottom end of the fixed platform 2. The return spring 601 and the stabilizing telescopic rod 602 are symmetrically arranged on the outside of the insertion cylinder 7.

[0034] After the insertion plate test is completed, the extension plate 603 can be lifted, so that the top cylinder 6 can also rise. During the rising process, the top cylinder 6 contacts the locking block 706. Since the bottom side of the locking block 706 is set with a slope, the locking block 706 will retract into the storage slot 702, so that the insertion cylinder 7 can be smoothly withdrawn, thereby achieving the unlocking effect of the coupling clamp assembly 3, so that the SSD8 to be tested can be taken out.

[0035] Furthermore, as the extension plate 603 is raised, the return spring 601 and the stabilizing telescopic rod 602 will be compressed, so that after the extension plate 603 is released, the elastic force of the return spring 601 will allow the extension plate 603 to return to its original height. The stabilizing telescopic rod 602 provides stability for the return spring 601 and prevents it from bending.

[0036] A baffle 401 is fixedly installed on one side of the support frame 4, and an extension frame 5 is fixedly installed on the other side of the support frame 4. An electric telescopic rod 501 is fixedly installed through and fixed on one side of the top of the extension frame 5, and a plug 502 is fixedly installed at the movable end of the electric telescopic rod 501.

[0037] During insertion and removal testing, the plug 502 can be inserted into the interface on one side of the SSD8 to be tested by the electric telescopic rod 501, thereby performing insertion and removal testing. The plug 502 is connected to an external testing device, which is a conventional device and is therefore not shown in the figure. The baffle 401 is designed to facilitate the SSD8 to be tested to abut against it when clamped, thereby achieving a certain positioning effect.

[0038] Working principle: By placing the SSD8 to be tested on the top of the pressure platform 1 and pressing down on the SSD8, the pressure platform 1 can descend synchronously, driving the toothed plate 301 in the clamping assembly 3 to descend, driving the gear 302 to rotate, and the connecting block 303 and the sliding frame 305 can rotate synchronously, so that the two sliding frames 305 can be flipped inward, thereby clamping the SSD8 to be tested on the top of the pressure platform 1. This provides a stable clamping force for the SSD8 to be tested and also prevents damage to the shell of the SSD8 to be tested. At the same time, the insertion cylinder 7 will penetrate and insert into the fixing platform 2, so that the locking block 706 can come out from the storage slot 702 and form an abutment with the fixing platform 2, thereby locking the clamping assembly 3 in the clamping state and preventing the SSD8 to be tested from loosening. The locking block 706 can be unlocked by the rise of the top cylinder 6.

[0039] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
