Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of plug-in / plug-out testing devices, and more particularly to a quick plug-in / plug-out testing device for a Mini USB connector. Background Technology

[0002] Mini USB connectors are miniaturized universal serial bus interfaces used in portable electronic devices. They are characterized by their small size, stable connection, and high transmission efficiency. They are commonly used for data transmission and power connection between mobile devices, digital products, and computers. Since Mini USB connectors need to be frequently plugged and unplugged during use, in order to ensure the stability and durability of Mini USB connectors, plugging and unplugging tests are usually performed on them before the products leave the factory to evaluate their electrical connection reliability and wear resistance.

[0003] In existing technologies, traditional Mini USB connector plug-in / plug-out testing devices mostly use mechanical drive to perform a preset number of plug-in / plug-out operations on the connector, and then use power-on detection to determine whether its electrical conductivity is normal. Although this testing method can test the basic electrical continuity of the connector, it is difficult to determine whether the connector has quality problems such as abnormal plugging / plugging resistance, jamming, or loosening. In addition, some Mini USB connector plug-in / plug-out testing devices have a relatively complex structure and large size, which is not suitable for the needs of miniaturized and mass production.

[0004] Therefore, existing technologies have shortcomings and need to be improved. Utility Model Content

[0032] The technical solution of this utility model will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0033] like Figures 1 to 5As shown, this embodiment provides a quick plug-in / plug-out testing device for a Mini USB connector, including a base 1, a telescopic cylinder 2, a tension / compression sensor 3, a male connector 41, a controller, a display 5, and a female connector 42. The base 1 is provided with a female connector fixing seat 43, and a test circuit board 44 is provided on the female connector fixing seat 43. The female connector 42 is electrically connected to the test circuit board 44. The telescopic cylinder 2 is mounted on the base 1, and the movable end of the telescopic cylinder 2 is connected to one end of the tension / compression sensor 3 via a mounting plate 21. The other end of the tension / compression sensor 3 is connected to the male connector fixing seat 45. The male connector 41 is detachably mounted on the male connector fixing base 45. The telescopic cylinder 2 is used to drive the male connector 41 to insert into or detach from the female connector 42. The tension / compression sensor 3 is used to detect the tension or pressure of the male connector 41 during insertion and removal. The controller is located inside the base 1. The display 5 is located on the side wall of the base 1. The test circuit board 44, the tension / compression sensor 3, and the display 5 are electrically connected to the controller. The display 5 is used to display the number of insertions and removals and the tension / compression values ​​during the insertion and removal process. Before the testing process, the male connector 41 can be installed on the male connector mounting base 45, and the female connector 42 can be fixed in the female connector mounting base 43. Electrical connection is achieved through the test circuit board 44. Then, the telescopic cylinder 2 is activated, pushing the piston rod to reciprocate. The piston rod drives the tension and pressure sensor 3 to move through the mounting plate 21, thereby driving the male connector 41 to insert and remove from the female connector. During the insertion and removal process, the tension and pressure sensor 3 can collect the tension or pressure during the insertion and removal of the male connector 41 in real time and transmit the data to the controller. At the same time, the test circuit board 44 also detects the electrical continuity status between the male connector 41 and the female connector 42 after each insertion action. The controller analyzes and processes the collected force data and electrical continuity status, and displays the number of insertions and removals and the corresponding tension and pressure values ​​on the display 5. In this way, repeated insertion and removal tests can be automatically completed, and mechanical tension and pressure and electrical connection status can be monitored in real time, thereby accurately assessing the wear and electrical continuity performance changes of the connector during use.

[0034] like Figure 4As shown, it further includes a connecting frame 61, a guide rod 62, and a sliding bearing 63. The movable end of the telescopic cylinder 2 is connected to the mounting plate 21 through the connecting frame 61. The guide rod 62 is located on the side of the connecting frame 61. The sliding bearing 63 is located on both sides of the connecting frame 61 and is connected to the guide rod 62 by sleeve. The connecting frame 61 is used to reciprocate along the extension direction of the guide rod 62 as the telescopic cylinder 2 is pushed. This arrangement can prevent the mounting plate 21 from tilting or shaking during the movement, thereby improving the accuracy of the insertion and removal action and avoiding poor contact due to movement deviation.

[0035] like Figure 4 As shown, further, it also includes a limit sensor 64 and a sensing plate 65. The limit sensor 64 is disposed on the base 1 and is electrically connected to the telescopic cylinder 2 through the controller. The sensing plate 65 is disposed on the connecting frame 61 and is used to sense and connect with the limit sensor 64 when the male connector 41 is inserted into the female connector 42. When the telescopic cylinder 2 pushes the connecting frame 61 forward, causing the male connector 41 to be inserted into the female connector 42, the sensing plate 65 will generate a sensing signal with the limit sensor 64 when it approaches the predetermined position. At this time, the controller can determine whether the current insertion action has been completed, and thus accurately control the movement stroke of the telescopic cylinder 2 to prevent over-insertion or under-insertion.

[0036] like Figure 1 and Figure 3 As shown, it further includes a start button 51 and a stop button 52, which are located on the base 1 on both sides of the display 5. The start button 51 and the stop button 52 are electrically connected to the controller. The start button 51 is used to send a start command to trigger the controller to start the test procedure; the stop button 52 is used to terminate the operation of the device, thereby improving the safety and operational flexibility of the test process.

[0037] like Figure 4 As shown, furthermore, the male connector fixing seat 45 is provided with a positioning groove 450, and the male connector 41 is embedded in the positioning groove 450. A limiting cover plate 451 is provided above the positioning groove 450, which is used to prevent the male connector 41 from moving in the positioning groove 450. The male connector 41 is embedded in the positioning groove 450 on the male connector fixing seat 45, so that it maintains a stable axial position during the insertion and removal movement, avoiding lateral offset or angular error; the limiting cover plate 451 above the positioning groove 450 can vertically limit the male connector 41 during the insertion and removal process, preventing it from shaking or loosening in the positioning groove 450.

[0038] like Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it further includes a protective cover 7, which is connected to the base 1 by a flip-up mechanism. The protective cover 7 is used to close or open the telescopic cylinder 2. Before testing, the protective cover 7 can be in the open state to facilitate the installation and replacement of the male connector 41. During testing, the protective cover 7 can be flipped to the closed position to completely cover the telescopic cylinder 2 and its moving parts, forming a closed working space. This setting can prevent operators from accidentally contacting the moving parts during testing, avoiding pinching injuries or misoperation, and also prevent foreign objects from entering, improving the operational stability and service life of the device.

[0039] like Figure 2 As shown, the base 1 is further provided with a cooling fan 10 on its side wall. The cooling fan 10 is used to dissipate the heat inside the base 1. This arrangement can prevent the temperature from being too high and affecting the operational stability of the electronic components, so as to meet the requirements of long-term, high-frequency insertion and removal tests.

[0040] The above-described embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of this utility model, and are not intended to limit it. Although this utility model has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, those skilled in the art should understand that modifications can still be made to the technical solutions described in the foregoing embodiments, or equivalent substitutions can be made to some of the technical features. Such modifications or substitutions do not cause the essence of the corresponding technical solutions to deviate from the spirit and scope of the technical solutions of the embodiments of this utility model.
