[0018] To make the technical problems, technical solutions and advantages of this utility model clearer, a detailed description will be given below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0019] As attached Figure 1 To be continued Figure 4 This utility model provides an electronic component testing fixture, including a base plate 1, on which a plurality of positioning components 2 are provided. A suspension rod 3 is fixedly connected to the rear side of the base plate 1, and a top plate 4 is fixedly connected to the top end of the suspension rod 3. A hand handle 6 is connected to the top plate 4 through an automatic winding component 5. A pressure plate 7 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the hand handle 6, and a plastic sleeve 8 is fixedly installed on the bottom surface of the pressure plate 7. The plastic sleeve 8 is filled with electrorheological fluid. An electric wire 9 for energizing the electrorheological fluid is connected to the tail end of the hand handle 6, and an energizing switch 10 for controlling whether the electric wire 9 energizes the electrorheological fluid is provided in the middle of the hand handle 6.

[0020] The electrorheological fluid is liquid before being energized and hardens after being energized, which is existing technology. The end of the wire 9 that is away from the handle 6 can be connected to the power source.

[0021] Specifically, during testing, the electronic components on the circuit board are positioned with their pins facing upwards and clamped in place using the positioning assembly 2. Then, the operator holds the handle 6, aligns the plastic sleeve 8 with the pin position, and presses down the pressure plate 7. The plastic sleeve 8 then imprints the solder joint at the pin. Next, the power switch 10 controls the wire 9 to energize the electrorheological fluid inside the plastic sleeve 8, causing the fluid to harden and shape the sleeve. Afterward, the plastic sleeve 8 is removed, and the indentation at the pin is observed. Since the solder joint is convex after soldering, if the indentation is not observed where it should be, it indicates a missed solder joint, improving the accuracy of the operator's identification of missed solder joints.

[0022] Preferably, the plastic sleeve 8 is made of rubber material, which has good rebound function. After the control switch 10 cuts off the power to the electrorheological fluid, the concave part of the plastic sleeve 8 can quickly rebound and recover, which is convenient for the next test.

[0023] Preferably, the positioning component 2 includes a positioning post 21, a threaded groove 23 is provided in the middle of the positioning post 21, an adjusting rod 24 is vertically inserted into the threaded groove 23, a threaded post 25 is fixedly connected to the bottom end of the adjusting rod 24, the threaded post 25 is threadedly connected in the threaded groove 23, a pressure ring 26 is fixedly installed in the middle of the adjusting rod 24, and a knob 27 is fixedly connected to the top of the adjusting rod 24.

[0024] Specifically, by turning the knob 27, the threaded post 25 is driven along the threaded groove 23, which drives the pressure ring 26 to descend. The pressure ring 26 and the positioning post 21 clamp and position the edge of the circuit board.

[0025] Preferably, a first washer 28 is fixedly provided on the top surface of the positioning post 21, and a second washer 29 is fixedly provided on the bottom surface of the pressure ring 26. Both the first washer 28 and the second washer 29 are made of rubber material, which protects the circuit board.

[0026] Preferably, a magnetic block 22 is fixedly installed at the bottom end of the positioning post 21, the base plate 1 is a magnetic plate, and the magnetic block 22 can be magnetically attached to the base plate 1.

[0027] The positioning post 21 is positioned by the magnetic force between the base plate 1 and the magnetic block 22. The magnitude of the magnetic force is sufficient so that when the pressure plate 7 presses down on the circuit board, it will not cause the circuit board to shift. Furthermore, the position of the positioning component 2 on the base plate 1 can be changed at will to adapt to circuit boards of different shapes.

[0028] Preferably, the automatic winding assembly 5 includes a winding frame 51, a winding roller 52 rotatably connected to the middle of the winding frame 51, a torsion spring 53 sleeved on the winding frame 51, the two ends of the torsion spring 53 being fixedly connected to the winding frame 51 and the winding roller 52 respectively, and a hanging rope 54 wound on the winding roller 52, one end of the hanging rope 54 being connected to the winding roller 52, and the other end being connected to the top of the hand handle 6.

[0029] Specifically, when in use, the operator holds the handle 6 to perform the test and pulls the suspension rope 54, which causes the winding roller 52 to rotate. The torsion spring 53 stores a torsional elastic force. After the test is completed, this elastic force can be used to quickly wind up the suspension rope 54 and suspend the handle 6 to ensure the cleanliness of the testing fixture.

[0030] Preferably, a universal suspension rod 11 is fixedly connected to the front side of the top plate 4, and a magnifying glass 12 is fixedly connected to the end of the universal suspension rod 11 away from the top plate 4.

[0031] Among them, the universal suspension rod 11 is a metal universal flexible shaft that can be twisted at will to adjust the position of the magnifying glass 12. Since the pin itself is small, the dents caused by its welding on the plastic sleeve 8 are also small. With the setting of the magnifying glass 12, it is convenient for the staff to observe the dents on the plastic sleeve 8.
