Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of power supply reliability testing technology, specifically to a simple and effective power supply aging fixture, which is particularly suitable for aging tests of power supply modules in consumer electronics, industrial control, new energy vehicles and other fields. Background Technology
[0002] As the "heart" of electronic devices, the reliability of power supplies directly determines the lifespan and safety of end products. Industry data shows that early power supply failures (within the first 1000 hours of use) account for over 60% of all failures, and aging tests are a key method for screening products with early failures. By simulating the long-term operating conditions of products under high temperature and high load (typically 4-168 hours), potential defects (such as loose solder joints, capacitor electrolyte evaporation, and thermal fatigue of semiconductor devices) can be stimulated, thereby improving the stability of products leaving the factory. Existing power supply aging fixtures suffer from the following technical drawbacks: cumbersome operation, poor heat dissipation, high energy consumption, and high testing costs. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The technical problem this invention aims to solve is to provide a simple and effective modular power supply aging fixture design, which addresses the issues of cumbersome operation, poor heat dissipation, high energy consumption, and high testing costs associated with traditional aging designs. It offers superior heat dissipation, ease of operation, outstanding durability, and significant cost advantages, thereby improving the efficiency of modular power supply aging production.
[0004] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is achieved by the following technical solution:
[0005] A simple and effective power supply aging fixture design is characterized by the following: it includes a PCB circuit board, test modules, thermal pads, aluminum profile heat sinks, a bracket, and a cooling fan; the PCB circuit board has four module mounting positions on its surface and mounting positioning holes at the four corners; the test modules are the modular power supply products to be aged; the thermal pads are made of silicone thermally conductive material with a thickness of 3.0mm±0.2mm and a thermal conductivity ≥3.0W / m·K, and are attached to the surface of the profile heat sink; the aluminum profile heat sink has a finned structure, with one profile heat sink placed on top of the thermal pads corresponding to every two test modules; the bracket is made of acrylic bent into a U-shape, with two large openings and several threaded holes on its surface; the cooling fan is secured to the bracket with screws.
[0006] In practical applications, push the acrylic bracket inward to expose the operating space of the test module, insert the four test modules into the PCB circuit board, place the heat sink on top, and ensure that the thermal pad is in close contact with the upper surface of the module; pull the acrylic bracket back to start the aging test and build a thermal management closed loop of "module → thermal pad → heat sink → fan"; if a module needs to be replaced, repeat the push and pull operation to easily complete the module removal and installation.
[0007] As a preferred example, the PCB circuit board surface is provided with four module mounting positions and mounting positioning holes at the four corners;
[0008] By adopting the above technical solution, four modules can be tested simultaneously, thus improving the efficiency of aging tests.
[0009] As a preferred example, the thermal pad is made of silicone thermally conductive material with a thickness of 3.0mm ± 0.2mm and a thermal conductivity ≥ 3.0W / m·K, and is attached to the surface of the heat sink of the profile;
[0010] By adopting the above technical solutions, the product's heat dissipation capacity is improved and its operation is simple and efficient.
[0011] As a preferred example, the bracket is made of acrylic bent into a U-shape, with two large openings and several threaded holes on its surface; the cooling fan is fastened to the bracket with screws.
[0012] By adopting the above technical solutions, we can ensure that the stent is simple to manufacture, low in cost, and easy to mass-produce.
[0013] As a preferred example, the aluminum profile heat sink has a finned structure;
[0014] By adopting the above technical solutions, the product's heat dissipation capacity can be further improved;
[0015] As a preferred example, in practical application, push the acrylic bracket inward to expose the operating space of the test module, insert the four test modules into the PCB circuit board, place the heat sink on top, and ensure that the thermal pad is in close contact with the upper surface of the module; pull the acrylic bracket back to start the aging test and build a thermal management closed loop of "module → thermal pad → heat sink → fan"; repeat the push and pull operation to easily complete the module removal and installation.
[0016] By adopting the above technical solution, the entire aging process becomes simple and efficient to operate;
[0017] The beneficial effects of this utility model are: by using standardized profiles and common components such as U-shaped brackets, thermal pads, heat sinks, and fans, a simple and efficient heat dissipation structure is formed, which has low manufacturing cost and is convenient for maintenance and replacement, improving the operational efficiency of the product aging process; and the cooling efficiency is increased by 25% compared with similar products.

After aging, bracket 2 is pushed inward, heat sink 8 is removed, test module 6 is removed, a new test module 6 is replaced, heat sink 8 is placed, bracket 2 is moved back to its original position, and aging is repeated. The whole process is simple and efficient, improving production aging efficiency.
