[0028] The present application will now be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and optional embodiments.

[0029] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of a testing system according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 1 As shown, this application discloses a testing system 10, which includes a host 20 and a solid-state drive (SSD) testing device 30. A barcode scanning component 300 in the SSD testing device 30 is electrically connected to the host 20, and the host 20 is electrically connected to the SSD testing device 30 to transmit test data of the SSD 40 to the host 20. The host 20 controls the SSD 40 to be tested.

[0030] This application also discloses a solid-state drive (SSD) testing device 30, which can be used in the aforementioned testing system 10. Regarding the SSD testing device 30, this application provides the following design:

[0031] Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of a solid-state drive testing device according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 2 As shown, this application discloses a solid-state drive (SSD) testing device 30, which is used to test a SSD 40 under test. The SSD testing device 30 includes a main body 100, a barcode scanning driver component 200, a barcode scanning component 300, a product fixing component 400, a plug component 500, and a plug-in / plug-out driver component 600.

[0032] The product fixing component 400 is disposed on the main body 100, and the product fixing component 400 is used to fix the solid-state drive 40 to be tested; the barcode scanning drive component 200 is disposed on the main body 100, the barcode scanning component 300 is connected to the barcode scanning drive component 200, the barcode scanning drive component 200 is used to drive the barcode scanning component 300 to move, and the barcode scanning component 300 is used to scan the identification code on the solid-state drive 40 to be tested.

[0033] The plug assembly 500 is disposed on the main body 100, and the plug assembly 500 includes a plug 520 for connecting to the solid-state drive 40 under test. The plug-in / plug-out drive assembly 600 is disposed on the main body 100, and the plug-in / plug-out drive assembly 600 is used to drive the product fixing assembly 400 and the plug assembly 500 to move closer to or further away from each other, so as to control the plug 520 to be plugged in and out of the solid-state drive 40 under test.

[0034] In other words, when the solid-state drive 40 under test needs to be tested, the plug-in drive assembly 600 drives the product fixing assembly 400 and the plug assembly 500 to move closer to each other, so as to control the plug 520 to be plugged into the solid-state drive 40 under test, so that the host 20 can communicate with the solid-state drive 40 under test for testing.

[0035] After the test is completed, the plug-in drive assembly 600 drives the product fixing assembly 400 and the plug assembly 500 to move away from each other, so as to control the plug 520 to be pulled out from the solid-state drive under test 40, so that the host 20 can be disconnected from the solid-state drive under test 40.

[0036] Compared to existing solid-state drive (SSD) testing equipment, the SSD testing equipment 30 of this application, by setting up a plug-in / plug-out drive component 600, drives the product fixing component 400 and the plug component 500 to move closer or further apart, thereby controlling the plug 520's insertion and removal from the SSD under test 40. This eliminates the need for manual insertion and removal, ensuring uniform force during insertion and removal and preventing damage to the plug 520 and the SSD under test 40, thus guaranteeing the reliability of the SSD testing equipment 30. Furthermore, this application also includes a barcode scanning drive component 200, which scans the identification code on the SSD under test 40. The barcode scanning drive component 200 drives the barcode scanning component 300 to move, allowing automatic barcode scanning of the SSD under test 40 after it is placed on the product fixing component 400, thereby improving the testing efficiency of the SSD testing equipment 30.

[0037] For example, the plug-in drive assembly 600 includes a translation rail and a drive motor 610. The translation rail is disposed on the main body 100. The product fixing assembly 400 is slidably connected to the translation rail. The drive motor 610 is disposed on the plug assembly 500 and is connected to the product fixing assembly 400 for controlling the product fixing assembly 400 to slide on the translation rail.

[0038] That is, by setting a translational track on the main body 100, and then the product fixing component 400 is slidably connected to the translational track, the product fixing component 400 is controlled by the drive motor 610 to slide on the translational track to complete the insertion and removal of the plug 520 and the solid-state drive 40 to be tested.

[0039] In another embodiment, the insertion and removal of the plug 520 and the solid-state drive 40 under test can also be controlled by moving the plug assembly 500. For example, the insertion and removal drive assembly 600 includes a translation rail and a drive motor 610. The translation rail is disposed on the main body 100, the plug assembly 500 is slidably connected to the translation rail, and the drive motor 610 is disposed on the plug assembly 500 and connected to the plug assembly 500 for controlling the plug assembly 500 to slide on the translation rail.

[0040] By setting a translational track on the main body 100, and then sliding the plug assembly 500 to the translational track, the plug assembly 500 is controlled to slide on the translational track by the drive motor 610 to complete the insertion and removal of the plug 520 and the solid-state drive 40 to be tested.

[0041] The product fixing assembly 400 includes at least one product fixing frame 410. The product fixing frame 410 includes a first limiting plate 411, a second limiting plate 412, a third limiting plate 413, and a product carrier plate 414. The first limiting plate 411 and the third limiting plate 413 are respectively disposed on both sides of the second limiting plate 412, and the first limiting plate 411 and the third limiting plate 413 are disposed opposite to each other. The second limiting plate 412 is located on the side of the first limiting plate 411 and the third limiting plate 413 away from the plug assembly 500.

[0042] The first limiting plate 411, the second limiting plate 412, and the third limiting plate 413 together define an accommodating space. The product carrier plate 414 is disposed between the first limiting plate 411, the second limiting plate 412, and the third limiting plate 413. The first limiting plate 411 and the third limiting plate 413 are used to abut against the side of the solid-state drive 40 under test, and the product carrier plate 414 is used to abut against the bottom surface of the solid-state drive 40 under test.

[0043] This allows the solid-state drive (SSD) 40 to be placed within the receiving space. The first limiting plate 411, the second limiting plate 412, and the third limiting plate 413, along with the support of the product carrier 414, prevent the SSD 40 from easily shifting within the receiving space. This avoids misalignment when the connector 520 and the SSD 40 are plugged in or unplugged. Furthermore, a contact sensing component can be installed on the product carrier 414 to detect whether the SSD 40 is placed on the product carrier 414.

[0044] Taking the product fixing component 400, which includes four product fixing frames 410, as an example, the corresponding plug component 500 includes four plugs 520, and the four plugs 520 correspond one-to-one with the four product fixing frames 410.

[0045] Four product fixing frames 410 are set up, and four plugs 520 are set up accordingly. The barcode scanning drive component 200 can drive the barcode scanning component 300 to move above the four product fixing frames 410 to scan the identification code on the solid-state drive 40 to be tested. In this way, four solid-state drives 40 to be tested can be tested at the same time.

[0046] The plug assembly 500 further includes a plug retainer 510 disposed on the main body 100, and the plug 520 disposed on the side of the plug retainer 510 facing the product fixing assembly 400. In one embodiment, the plug retainer 510 is slidably connected to the translational track.

[0047] Furthermore, this application also provides a first status light 810 and a second status light 820, both of which are located on the top of the plug fixing bracket 510. The first status light 810 and the second status light 820 are used to indicate the test status of the solid-state drive 40 to be tested.

[0048] For example, when the first status light 810 is lit, it can indicate that the test is complete, and when the second status light 820 is lit, it can indicate that the test has failed, so that testers can quickly understand the test status of the solid-state drive 40 under test, thereby improving test efficiency.

[0049] Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of a lifting component according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 3 As shown, in some embodiments, when the solid-state drive 40 to be tested needs to be tested, the solid-state drive 40 to be tested can be transported to the containment space by a robotic arm, and then the solid-state drive 40 to be tested can be taken out of the containment space by a robotic arm after the test is completed. However, this method is time-consuming for each solid-state drive 40 to be tested.

[0050] Therefore, this application also provides a lifting assembly 710, which is disposed on the main body 100 and located between the product carrier plate 414 and the main body 100. The lifting assembly 710 is used to control the up and down movement of the product carrier plate 414.

[0051] In this way, multiple solid-state drives 40 to be tested can be stacked in the housing space during testing. After the top solid-state drive 40 is tested, the solid-state drive 40 to be tested is removed from the housing space by a robotic arm. Then, the lifting component 710 lifts the product carrier board 414, so that the solid-state drives 40 to be tested on the second layer can be moved to the position opposite to the plug 520. After plugging them in, the test can be performed directly, thereby improving the testing efficiency.

[0052] Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of an elastic component according to an embodiment of this application, as shown below. Figure 4 As shown, to avoid damage to the plug 520 and the solid-state drive 40 under test due to inaccurate alignment, this application also provides an elastic component 720. The second limiting plate 412 has a groove 730 on the side facing the plug 520. The elastic component 720 is disposed in the groove 730, and one end of the elastic component 720 abuts against the bottom wall of the groove 730. The other end of the elastic component 720 is used to abut against the side of the solid-state drive 40 under test away from the plug 520.

[0053] By providing a groove 730 on the side of the second limiting plate 412 facing the plug 520, and then providing an elastic component 720 within the groove 730, when the plug-in drive assembly 600 drives the product fixing assembly 400 and the plug assembly 500 to move closer to each other to control the plug 520 to be plugged into the solid-state drive 40 under test, if the plug 520 and the solid-state drive 40 under test are not aligned, the interaction force between the plug 520 and the solid-state drive 40 under test will be transferred to the elastic component 720. Furthermore, the solid-state drive 40 under test can also extend into the groove 730 when subjected to a large pushing force, thereby avoiding damage to the plug 520 and the solid-state drive 40 under test due to inaccurate alignment.

[0054] It should be noted that the inventive concept of this application can form many embodiments, but due to the limited space of the application documents, they cannot all be listed. Therefore, without conflict, the embodiments described above or the technical features can be arbitrarily combined to form new embodiments. After the embodiments or technical features are combined, the original technical effect will be enhanced.

[0055] The above description, in conjunction with specific optional embodiments, provides a further detailed explanation of this application and should not be construed as limiting the specific implementation of this application to these descriptions. For those skilled in the art, various simple deductions or substitutions can be made without departing from the concept of this application, and all such modifications or substitutions should be considered within the scope of protection of this application.
