[0002] Solid-state drives (SSDs) are hard drives made using arrays of solid-state electronic storage chips.

[0003] Existing solid-state drive testing equipment requires both hands to simultaneously press the latches on both sides to load and unload the product during product testing. This is inconvenient to use and has relatively low work efficiency. Furthermore, existing fixing devices all use latches and screws for fixing and limiting, which is costly. Utility Model Content

[0004] This invention provides a solid-state drive (SSD) testing device to solve the problems of inconvenience and high cost when loading and unloading products.

[0005] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this utility model provides a solid-state drive (SSD) testing device, comprising: a test circuit board, an interface socket, and a fixing component. The test circuit board has mounting holes, and the interface socket is mounted on one side of the test circuit board for insertion into the interface end of the SSD. The fixing component is vertically mounted on the mounting holes of the test circuit board and spaced apart from the interface socket. Specifically, in the vertical direction of the test circuit board, the fixing component has a first limiting groove and a second limiting groove. The first limiting groove is used to engage and fix with the wall of the mounting hole, and the second limiting groove is used to engage and fix with the fixing end of the SSD.

[0006] The fastener includes a main column and a base, a first limiting member, and a second limiting member, which are sequentially arranged on the main column along its extension direction. The base is perpendicularly connected to one end of the main column, the first limiting member is arranged around the main column, and the second limiting member is arranged at the end of the main column away from the base. A first limiting groove is formed between the base and the first limiting member, and a second limiting groove is formed between the first limiting member and the second limiting member.

[0007] The main column is cylindrical, the base is circular, the projection shape of the second limiting member on the base is circular, and the first limiting member is an annular structure set on the main column to form an annular first limiting groove and a second limiting groove.

[0008] Along the direction away from the base of the main column, the diameter of the fastener gradually decreases.

[0009] The second limiting member includes a cone-shaped body, the diameter of which gradually decreases along the direction away from the base of the main column.

[0010] The diameter of the base ranges from 7.0 to 12.0 mm, the diameter of the first limiting member ranges from 4.5 to 6.0 mm, and the diameter of the second limiting member on the side near the second limiting groove ranges from 4.5 to 6.0 mm; the diameter of the mounting hole is smaller than the diameter of the base and smaller than the diameter of the first limiting member.

[0011] The second limiting member also includes an extension; the extension is connected to the side of the cone away from the base; and the surface of the extension is provided with an anti-slip texture.

[0012] The fastener is a one-piece molded flexible fastener.

Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the test circuit board and interface socket provided by this utility model. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of an embodiment of the solid-state drive testing device provided by this utility model, which fixes a solid-state drive.

[0020] The solid-state drive testing device 100 of this embodiment includes a test circuit board 110, an interface socket 120, and a fixing member 130.

[0021] The test circuit board 110 has a circuit layer formed on it to implement the testing functions of the solid-state drive testing device 100 to test the solid-state drive 200. The test circuit board 110 may include a single-layer circuit board or a multi-layer circuit board, on which various electronic components can be mounted to achieve corresponding testing functions.

[0022] Interface socket 120 is mounted on one side of test circuit board 110 and electrically connected to test circuit board 110 for insertion into the interface end of solid-state drive 200. Interface socket 120 contains a connector for connection to the connector on the interface end of solid-state drive 200.

[0023] The test circuit board 110 has mounting holes 111, and the fasteners 130 are vertically mounted on the mounting holes 111 of the test circuit board 110, spaced apart from the interface socket 120. The mounting holes 111 are used to mount the fasteners 130. In a specific application scenario, the solid-state drive testing device 100 can have one mounting hole 111 and one corresponding fastener 130. In other application scenarios, if there are higher fixing requirements, multiple mounting holes 111 and multiple fasteners 130 corresponding to each mounting hole 111 can be provided.

[0024] After the fixing member 130 is installed on the test circuit board 110, a first limiting groove 131 and a second limiting groove 132 are provided on the fixing member 130 in the vertical direction Y of the test circuit board 110. The first limiting groove 131 is used to engage and fix with the hole wall of the mounting hole 111 to ensure a stable installation between the fixing member 130 and the test circuit board 110. The second limiting groove 132 is used to engage and fix with the fixed end of the solid-state drive 200 to achieve limiting and fixing of the solid-state drive 200. The fixed end of the solid-state drive 200 is positioned opposite to its interface end.

[0025] When testing the solid-state drive 200, first plug the interface of the solid-state drive 200 into the interface socket 120. Then, place the solid-state drive 200 on the test circuit board 110 between the interface socket 120 and the fixing member 130, and engage the fixing end of the solid-state drive 200 into the second limiting slot 132 of the fixing member 130. This completes the fixing of the solid-state drive 200. The specific testing steps for the solid-state drive 200 can then be initiated through the test circuit board 110. After the test, remove the fixing end of the solid-state drive 200 from the second limiting slot 132, and then unplug the interface of the solid-state drive 200 from the interface socket 120. The solid-state drive 200 can then be replaced with another solid-state drive 200 for further testing.

[0026] In this embodiment, when installing the solid-state drive 200, the fixing component 130 can achieve the engagement and fixation between the second limiting groove 132 and the solid-state drive 200 by pressing the fixing end of the solid-state drive 200 into the second limiting groove 132 with one hand. This eliminates the need for simultaneous pressing with both hands, significantly improving testing efficiency. Furthermore, the fixing component 130 has a simple structure, and the solid-state drive 200 can be fixed by the engagement and fixation of its own limiting groove. It does not require additional components such as clips or screws, which can greatly reduce the cost of the fixing component 130 and improve the economy and ease of operation of production line testing.

[0027] With the above structure, the solid-state drive testing device of this embodiment includes a test circuit board, an interface socket, and a fixing component. The test circuit board is provided with mounting holes, and the interface socket is installed on one side of the test circuit board for insertion with the interface end of the solid-state drive. The fixing component is vertically installed on the mounting holes of the test circuit board and spaced apart from the interface socket. In the vertical direction of the test circuit board, the fixing component is provided with a first limiting groove and a second limiting groove. The first limiting groove is used to engage and fix with the hole wall of the mounting hole, and the second limiting groove is used to engage and fix with the fixing end of the solid-state drive. Thus, the engagement and fixation between the second limiting groove and the solid-state drive can be achieved by pressing with one hand, without the need for simultaneous pressing with both hands, which significantly improves testing efficiency. Moreover, the fixing component has a simple structure, and the solid-state drive can be fixed by the engagement and fixation of its own limiting groove, without the need for additional components such as clips or screws, which can greatly reduce the cost of the fixing component and improve the economy and ease of operation of production line testing.

[0028] Please refer to further information. Figure 4 , Figure 4 This is a side view of an embodiment of the fastener provided in this application.

[0029] In some embodiments, the fixing member 130 includes a main column 138 and a base 133, a first limiting member 134 and a second limiting member 135 sequentially disposed on the main column 138 along the extending direction H of the main column 138.

[0030] The base 133 is vertically connected to one end of the main column 138. The first limiting member 134 is arranged around the main column 138, and the second limiting member 135 is arranged at the end of the main column 138 away from the base 133.

[0031] The base 133 and the first limiting member 134 form a first limiting groove 131 for engaging the test circuit board 110 to fix the fixing member 130 itself on the test circuit board 110. The first limiting member 134 and the second limiting member 135 form a second limiting groove 132 for engaging and fixing the solid-state drive 200.

[0032] When the solid-state drive 200 engages with the second limiting slot 132, it can do so through the semi-circular structure on its fixed end. This semi-circular structure on the solid-state drive 200 is a built-in feature of the solid-state drive 200, used for fixed installation and grounding. This embodiment reuses the built-in structure of the solid-state drive 200 to engage with the second limiting slot 132, thereby securing the solid-state drive 200. This further simplifies the implementation of this embodiment.

[0033] In some embodiments, the main column 138 can be a cylindrical structure, the base 133 is circular, and the projection shape of the second limiting member 135 on the base 133 is circular. The first limiting member 134 is an annular structure disposed on the main column 138, thereby facilitating the formation of annular first limiting grooves 131 and second limiting grooves 132, which facilitate matching and engaging with the wall of the mounting hole 111 and the semi-circular structure on the solid-state drive 200, respectively. Furthermore, the annular first limiting groove 131 and second limiting groove 132 allow the fixing member 130 to be engaged and fixed from any angle on the side of the main column 138, without needing to consider the horizontal setting direction of the fixing member 130, thereby further improving the degree of freedom of fixing the fixing member 130, further simplifying the fixing and installation steps, and improving the fixing efficiency.

[0034] After the solid-state drive 200 is fixed, the circular wall of the mounting hole 111 fully matches and engages with the entire annular first limiting groove 131, while the semi-circular structure of the solid-state drive 200 matches and engages with the half-annular position of the second limiting groove 132. The matching and fixing of the above limiting structures can improve the fixing stability and reliability between the fixing component 130, the test circuit board 110, and the solid-state drive 200.

[0035] In some embodiments, the diameter of the fastener 130 gradually decreases along the direction of the main column 138 away from the base 133.

[0036] During manufacturing, a mold can be used to gradually reduce the diameter of the fastener 130 along the direction of the main column 138 away from the base 133, so that the smaller diameter end of the fastener 130 can be inserted into the mounting hole 111, thereby completing the engagement with the hole wall of the mounting hole 111. However, the diameters of the first limiting member 134 and the base 133 are larger than the diameter of the mounting hole 111.

[0037] This structural design reduces the difficulty of inserting the fastener 130 into the mounting hole 111 of the test circuit board 110, allowing the test operation to be completed quickly with just one hand, significantly improving test efficiency. At the same time, the different diameters at both ends of the fastener 130 also make it easier for installers to quickly identify the installation direction of the fastener 130 during batch installation, improving the efficiency of installing the fastener 130.

[0038] In some embodiments, the second limiting member 135 includes a cone-shaped body, the diameter of which gradually decreases along the direction of the main body post 138 away from the base 133.

[0039] This structural design reduces the difficulty of inserting the fastener 130 into the mounting hole 111 of the test circuit board 110, allowing the test operation to be completed quickly with just one hand, significantly improving test efficiency. At the same time, the conical shape makes it easier for installers to quickly identify the installation direction of the fastener 130 during batch installation, improving the efficiency of installing the fastener 130. Furthermore, the gradually decreasing diameter of the conical shape can further reduce the material used in the fastener 130, further reducing the production cost of the fastener 130.

[0040] In some embodiments, the diameter of the base 133 can be in the range of 7.0-12.0 mm, specifically 7.0 mm, 7.5 mm, 7.9 mm, 8.0 mm, 8.2 mm, 8.5 mm, 9.5 mm, 10.0 mm, 11.0 mm, or 12.0 mm, etc., the diameter of the first limiting member 134 can be in the range of 4.5-6.0 mm, specifically 4.5 mm, 5.0 mm, 5.5 mm, or 6.0 mm, etc., the diameter of the second limiting member 135 on the side near the second limiting groove 132 can be in the range of 4.5-6.0 mm, specifically 4.5 mm, 5.0 mm, 5.5 mm, or 6.0 mm, etc.

[0041] The dimensions of the base 133 are set as described above to ensure stable engagement with the mounting hole 111 of the test circuit board 110. The diameter range of the first limiting member 134 is used to achieve a tight fit with the wall of the mounting hole 111. The diameter range of the second limiting member 135 on the side near the second limiting groove 132 is used to accommodate the dimensional tolerance of the fixed end of the solid-state drive 200.

[0042] The diameter of the mounting hole 111 is smaller than the diameter of the first limiting member 134 and the base 133, so that the first limiting groove 131 can be engaged and fixed with the hole wall of the mounting hole 111. For example, the diameter of the mounting hole 111 can be 3.5 mm, 4.0 mm or 4.2 mm, etc.

[0043] In some embodiments, the second limiting member 135 further includes an extension 136; the extension 136 is connected to the side of the cone away from the base 133; wherein, the surface of the extension 136 is provided with an anti-slip texture 137, and the extension 136 can be used to assist the operator in holding the fixing member 130, reducing the occurrence of the fixing member 130 slipping during installation due to its small size.

[0044] The anti-slip texture 137 can be a finely textured or friction-resistant coating. For example, the surface of the extension 136 can be designed with a mesh-like or granular texture to enhance friction. During implementation, the extension 136 serves as the operating end, and its anti-slip design directly improves the operating feel, preventing positioning deviations caused by hand slippage during testing. Furthermore, the extension 136 can lengthen the fixing member 130, increasing its weight and thus improving its stability.

[0045] The anti-slip texture 137 of the extension 136 can effectively prevent the operator's hand from slipping when fixing the solid-state drive 200 with one hand, ensuring the stability and accuracy of the operation process, reducing test interruptions or positioning errors caused by hand slippage, thereby significantly improving test efficiency and reducing the operation error rate, while supporting the core advantage of one-handed operation, making the test process smoother and more efficient.

[0046] In some embodiments, the fastener 130 is an integrally formed flexible fastener. The flexible material facilitates the fastener 130 being installed on the mounting hole 111, allowing the larger diameter first limiting member 134 to pass through the mounting hole 111 by applying force, thereby engaging and fixing the first limiting groove 131 with the hole wall of the mounting hole 111.

[0047] In some embodiments, the fastener 130 may be a flexible material such as a silicone fastener, a TPE fastener (thermoplastic elastomer), or rubber.

[0048] During testing, the one-piece flexible fastener only requires inserting the solid-state drive 200 interface end into the interface socket 120 and snapping it into the second limiting groove 132 to complete the fixation, avoiding the tedious steps of pressing with both hands and significantly improving testing efficiency. At the same time, the one-piece design and the selection of silicone or TPE materials eliminate the assembly costs of clips and screws, and also eliminate the need for metal or other materials, which greatly reduces hardware costs by up to 96% or more, significantly reducing testing costs.

[0049] In some embodiments, the width of the first limiting groove 131 is in the range of 0.5-1.5 mm, specifically 0.5 mm, 0.8 mm, 1.0 mm, 1.2 mm or 1.5 mm, etc.; the width of the second limiting groove 132 is in the range of 2.5-3.5 mm, specifically 2.5 mm, 2.8 mm, 3.0 mm, 3.2 mm or 3.5 mm, etc.; and the length of the fastener 130 is in the range of 20-25 mm, specifically 20.0 mm, 21.0 mm, 22.5 mm, 23.5 mm, 24.0 mm, 24.5 mm or 25.0 mm, etc.

[0050] The width of the first limiting groove 131 is designed to ensure a tight fit with the wall of the mounting hole 111, preventing displacement of the fastener 130 during testing. The width of the second limiting groove 132 facilitates precise alignment with the fixed end of the solid-state drive 200, achieving stable positioning. The length of the fastener 130 is designed to provide sufficient structural support and adapt to standard testing environments. The fastener can be made of silicone or TPE material, and its dimensions are optimized to match the testing requirements of the solid-state drive 200.

[0051] In some embodiments, the interface socket 120 is fixedly disposed with a first end 113 on one side of the test circuit board 110; the fastener 130 is fixedly disposed with a second end 112 on one side of the test circuit board 110; the second end 112 is the opposite end of the first end 113.

[0052] The interface socket 120 and the fixing member 130 are respectively disposed at opposite ends of the same side surface of the test circuit board 110, and the solid-state drive 200 is placed between the interface socket 120 and the fixing member 130.

[0053] In a preferred embodiment, the main column 138 has a diameter of 4.00 mm, the base 133 has a diameter of 10.00 mm and a thickness of 2.00 mm, the first limiting groove 131 has a groove width of 1.00 mm, the first limiting member 134 has a thickness of 1.00 mm, the second limiting groove 132 has a groove width of 3.00 mm, the second limiting member 135 has a diameter of 5.8 mm on the side near the second limiting groove 132, the first limiting member 134 has a diameter of 5.8 mm, and the fixing member 130 has a length of 23.5 mm.

[0054] The fastener 130 within the aforementioned size range can achieve stable engagement between the first limiting groove 131 and the test circuit board 110, and stable engagement between the second limiting groove 132 and the solid-state drive 200, simplifying the fixing operation steps and significantly improving testing efficiency. Moreover, the fastener 130 has a simple structure, and the solid-state drive 200 can be fixed by the engagement of its own limiting groove. Furthermore, the fastener 130 of the aforementioned size is made of silicone or TPE material, eliminating the need for additional components such as clips or screws, which can significantly reduce the cost of the fastener 130 and improve the economy and ease of operation of production line testing.

[0055] This embodiment can be applied to the testing of M.2 FF¹ solid-state drives, SATA solid-state drives, or other solid-state drives, and is not specifically limited here.

[0056] The above are merely embodiments of this utility model and do not limit the patent scope of this utility model. Any equivalent structural or procedural transformations made based on the description and drawings of this utility model, or direct or indirect applications in other related technical fields, are similarly included within the patent protection scope of this utility model.
