[0032] Please see Figure 1-4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a signal testing device suitable for multiple interfaces, a test motherboard 1, the test motherboard 1 is made of epoxy resin substrate, the surface is covered with solder resist layer, a protective shell 2 is fixedly installed on the test motherboard 1, the protective shell 2 is generally rectangular in shape, adapted to the size of the basic test motherboard 1, the edges are designed with rounded corners, the protective shell 2 is made of engineering plastic material, integrally molded by injection molding process, with good mechanical strength and impact resistance, its top is a flat plane, except for the reserved operation area, the rest is a closed structure, which can effectively protect the internal core signal processing circuit, calibration and matching module and other components from the influence of dust, water droplets and external impact;

[0033] The test motherboard 1 has a processor 3 installed in the center. The processor 3 is an ARM Cortex-M4 processor. The processor 3 is surrounded by densely packed surface mount resistors, capacitors and other components, forming a compact signal processing core area.

[0034] A power management module 4 is fixedly installed on the test motherboard 1. The power management module 4 is located in the lower right corner of the test motherboard 1 and consists of multiple rectangular surface-mount components, including power chips, inductors and capacitor arrays. The external power interface is located in the middle of the right edge of the test board and is connected to the power management module 4 through copper foil lines.

[0035] A data transmission interface 5 is fixedly installed on the test motherboard 1. The data transmission interface 5 is rectangular and located on the upper left edge of the test motherboard 1. The interface end face is flush with the edge of the test motherboard 1 to facilitate cable plugging and unplugging.

[0036] A control board 6 is fixedly installed on the test motherboard 1. A button 7 and a display screen 8 are installed on the control board 6. The button 7 is round and arranged in a row in the lower left corner of the front of the test motherboard 1. The display screen 8 is rectangular and located to the right of the button 7. It is connected to the main circuit of the test motherboard 1 through a ribbon cable interface and can display the test status and parameters.

Since the slide 16 is threadedly connected to the positive and negative threaded screws 15, the rotation of the positive and negative threaded screws 15 will cause the slide 16 to move relative to or towards each other on the slide rail 12 along the slide groove 11, thereby driving the probe mounting seat 17 to move, realizing the adjustment of the elastic probe spacing to adapt to interfaces with different pitch values.

[0040] After adjustment, the interface under test is connected to the elastic probe. The processor 3, as the core control component, collects and analyzes the signal of the interface under test through the signal processing core area composed of surrounding surface mount resistors, capacitors and other components. The data transmission interface 5 is responsible for transmitting the processed test data to external devices or receiving external control commands.

[0041] Users can operate the device via buttons 7 on the control panel 6, such as starting the test and switching test modes. After the operation command is transmitted to the processor 3, the processor 3 controls the relevant modules to perform corresponding actions. At the same time, the display screen 8 displays the test status, parameters and results in real time. The protective shell 2 protects the internal components throughout the test process to ensure stable operation of the device.

[0042] The adjustable adapter module 10 has a knob 14, a positive and negative threaded screw 15 and other structures, which can flexibly adjust the elastic probe spacing and adapt to a variety of interfaces with different pitch values. There is no need to equip each interface with a separate test device, which greatly improves the applicability of the device.

[0043] The protective shell 2 is made of engineering plastic material, molded in one piece with rounded corners, which can effectively resist dust, water droplets and external impacts, providing good protection for internal core components and extending the service life of the device.
