Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of probe installation technology, specifically to a probe installation fixture that is easy to operate. Background Technology

[0002] Test probes are electronic components used in electronic testing to test PCBAs. Multiple probes need to be integrated and mounted on a probe block during use.

[0003] According to the "Probe Mounting Fixture" disclosed in Chinese Patent Publication No. CN207801132U, a tool for mounting a probe in the pinhole of a probe block is provided. The tool includes: a probe block limiting and fixing part for limiting and fixing the probe block; and a probe limiting and fixing part for limiting and fixing the probe, wherein the probe is movable along the probe extension direction on the probe limiting and fixing part; the pinhole of the probe block fixed on the probe block limiting and fixing part is aligned with the corresponding probe fixed on the probe limiting and fixing part.

[0004] The device installs the probe onto the probe block by setting up a probe block limiting and fixing part and a probe limiting and fixing part. However, during the installation process, the probe needs to be placed in the probe slot first. Since the probe slot is small, it is very inconvenient to install the probe and the installation efficiency is low. Utility Model Content

[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this utility model is to provide an easy-to-operate probe installation fixture. During the installation process, multiple probes can be sequentially placed into multiple hoppers to achieve the operation of installing the probes into the probe slots. This makes the installation of probes very convenient and efficient.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides the following technical solution: An easy-to-operate probe mounting fixture includes a base with a plurality of probe slots for accommodating probes. The depth and width of each probe slot are equal to the diameter of the probe. The probe slots are arranged in parallel and spaced apart, and are divided into several probe slot groups from left to right. Each probe slot group includes at least two probe slots. Above each probe slot group is a hopper with the same number of probe slots as the group. The upper end of the hopper has a feed inlet, and the lower end has a discharge outlet. The discharge outlets of the hoppers in each probe slot group correspond one-to-one with the probe slots in that group.

[0007] Preferably, the multiple hoppers above each probe slot group are arranged sequentially along the length direction of the probe slot.

[0008] Preferably, the feed inlets of the multiple hoppers in each probe slot group span the multiple probe slots in the probe slot group in the width direction, and the length of each feed inlet is not less than the length of the probe.

[0009] Preferably, the width of each discharge port is equal to the width of the probe groove, and the length of each discharge port is not less than the length of the probe.

[0010] Preferably, an inclined surface is provided between the feed inlet and the discharge outlet of the hopper.

[0011] Preferably, the base is provided with a fixing groove, and a probe block is placed in the fixing groove. The probe groove on the base is correspondingly set with the probe hole on the side of the probe block.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects achieved by this utility model are: In use, probes are sequentially inserted into the feed inlets of multiple hoppers. Since each hopper's discharge outlet corresponds to a probe slot, multiple discharge outlets of multiple hoppers insert probes into a probe slot, thus ensuring that each probe slot contains one probe. Because the feed inlets of the hoppers have larger openings than the probe slots, precise operation is not required. During installation, simply insert multiple probes sequentially into multiple hoppers to install them into the probe slots. This makes probe installation very convenient and efficient.

[0015] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0016] This utility model provides the following technical solution: Combination Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown in the figure, this embodiment discloses an easy-to-operate probe mounting fixture, including a base 1. The base 1 is provided with a plurality of probe slots 2 for accommodating probes. The depth and width of the probe slots 2 are equal to the diameter of the probe. The plurality of probe slots 2 are arranged in parallel and spaced apart, and the plurality of probe slots 2 are divided into a plurality of probe slot groups along a left-to-right direction. Each probe slot group includes at least two probe slots 2. Each probe slot group is provided with a hopper 3 above it, which is the same number as the number of probe slots 2 in the probe slot group. The upper end of the hopper 3 is provided with a feed inlet 4, and the lower end of the hopper 3 is provided with a discharge outlet 5. The discharge outlets 5 of the plurality of hoppers 3 in each probe slot group are arranged one-to-one with the plurality of probe slots 2 in the probe slot group.

[0017] In use, probes are sequentially inserted into the feed inlets 4 of multiple hoppers 3. Since the discharge outlet 5 of each hopper 3 corresponds to a probe slot 2, the multiple discharge outlets 5 of multiple hoppers 3 respectively insert probes into a probe slot 2, thereby ensuring that each probe slot 2 contains a probe. Because the feed inlets 4 of hoppers 3 have a larger opening than the probe slots 2, precise operation is not required. During installation, multiple probes are simply inserted into multiple hoppers 3 in sequence to install the probes into the probe slots 2. This makes the installation of probes very convenient and efficient.

[0018] Specifically, in combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the multiple hoppers 3 above each probe slot group are arranged sequentially along the length direction of the probe slot 2.

[0019] Because the spacing between the probe slots 2 is small, while the feed inlet 4 of the hopper 3 is large, the projected area of ​​the hopper 3 on the probe slot 2 is large. By arranging multiple hoppers 3 sequentially along the length of the probe slot 2, the layout is made more reasonable, leaving more space for the feed inlet 4, and thus enabling the setting of a larger feed inlet 4, which facilitates probe insertion.

[0020] Specifically, in combination Figure 3 and Figure 4As shown, the feed inlets 4 of the multiple hoppers 3 in each probe slot group span the multiple probe slots 2 in the width direction, and the length of each feed inlet 4 is not less than the length of the probe.

[0021] In this embodiment, each probe slot group includes three probe slots 2, and the feed port 4 spans the three probe slots 2 in the width direction. Compared with inserting the probe into a single probe slot 2, it is easier to insert the probe into the feed port 4 that spans the three probe slots 2 in the width direction, thereby reducing fatigue and facilitating operation.

[0022] Specifically, in combination Figure 3 and Figure 4 As shown, the width of each discharge port 5 is equal to the width of the probe groove 2, and the length of each discharge port 5 is not less than the length of the probe.

[0023] The discharge port 5 is set parallel to the probe groove 2, combined with Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, the discharge port 5 of the first hopper 3 of the first probe slot group is located on the left side, corresponding to the first probe slot 2. After the probe is put in from the feed port 4, the probe falls into the first probe slot 2 from the discharge port 5. The discharge port 5 of the second hopper 3 is located in the middle, corresponding to the second probe slot 2. After the probe is put in from the feed port 4, the probe falls into the second probe slot 2 from the discharge port 5. The discharge port 5 of the third hopper 3 is located on the right side, corresponding to the third probe slot 2. After the probe is put in from the feed port 4, the probe falls into the third probe slot 2 from the discharge port 5.

[0024] Specifically, in combination Figure 5 , Figure 6 and Figure 7 As shown, an inclined surface 6 is provided between the feed inlet 4 and the discharge outlet 5 of the hopper 3.

[0025] When the probes fed into the hopper 3 are not parallel to the probe slot 2, the inclined surface 6 is used to rotate the probes into the hopper until they are parallel to the probe slot 2, which further reduces the difficulty of the probe feeding operation.

[0026] Specifically, in combination Figure 1 As shown, a fixing groove 7 is provided on the base 1, and a probe block 8 is placed in the fixing groove 7. The probe groove 2 on the base 1 is correspondingly set with the probe hole on the side of the probe block 8.

[0027] By fixing the probe block 8 in the fixing groove 7, after the probe is installed in the probe groove 2, the base 1 is flipped to make the probe slide in the probe groove 2 until it falls into the probe hole on the side of the probe block 8, which facilitates the installation of the probe.

[0028] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations may be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
