Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of backlight product testing technology, and in particular to a probe lighting device for FPC (flexible printed circuit board) gold finger fine pin backlight products. Background Technology
[0002] During the production and testing of backlight products, the pins (conductive leads) on the gold fingers of some backlight products' FPC (flexible printed circuit boards) are too small, making it difficult for conventional lighting fixtures to make stable contact with the pins and thus preventing reliable lighting tests of the products.
[0003] To solve the contact problem of fine pin electrodes, the industry often considers using probe lighting, but existing probe lighting solutions have the following technical drawbacks: 1. Poor applicability of single-point probes: Conventional single-point probes are relatively large in size, making it difficult to arrange them compactly in fixtures for fine-pin FPCs, resulting in low design flexibility. 2. Large error in the upper and lower mold-separation mounting plates: If a thinner double-headed probe is used, it needs to be fixed with a mounting plate with an upper and lower mold-separation structure. However, this type of mounting plate is difficult to process and is prone to cumulative error during splicing and installation. 3. Probe performance and maintenance issues: Installation errors can lead to unstable contact between the probe and the FPC gold fingers and circuit contacts, which not only shortens the probe's lifespan but also easily causes probe jamming and inability to stably light up the product. In addition, disassembly and maintenance are cumbersome and affect production efficiency. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to solve the above-mentioned technical problems and provide a probe lighting device.
[0005] To achieve the above technical objectives and meet the above technical requirements, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a probe lighting device, including a base, a pressing module, and a probe module, characterized in that: the pressing module is disposed on the base, the probe module is disposed directly below the pressing module, and guide components are symmetrically disposed on the base, the guide components being connected to the pressing module; The probe module includes a probe positioning plate, a probe, a positioning pin, and a PCB circuit board. One end of the probe passes through the probe positioning plate and contacts the FPC gold finger, while the other end contacts the PCB circuit board. The positioning pin passes through the positioning holes of the probe positioning plate and the PCB circuit board to ensure the accuracy of the connection between the probe and the PCB circuit board. The bottom of the PCB circuit board is provided with quick-connect terminals for connecting to an external power supply via a wire harness.
[0006] Preferably, the pressing module includes a quick clamp, a quick clamp connecting plate A, and a quick clamp connecting plate B. The quick clamp is connected to the base through a quick clamp mounting plate assembly. A connecting rod is provided on the quick clamp. The end of the connecting rod away from the quick clamp passes through the quick clamp connecting plate A and connects to the quick clamp connecting plate B. A polyurethane pressure block is provided on the quick clamp connecting plate B, and the polyurethane pressure block contacts the FPC gold fingers.
[0007] Preferably, the pressing module also includes a cylinder structure component, which is located at the original quick clamp mounting position.
[0008] Preferably, the quick clamp mounting plate assembly, quick clamp connecting plate A, and quick clamp connecting plate B are all detachable connection structures, used to realize the disassembly and maintenance of the pressing module components.
[0009] Preferably, the probe positioning plate is provided with a countersunk structure that is adapted to the probe head.
[0010] Preferably, the guide assembly includes a guide bearing, and a guide post is inserted inside the guide bearing. One end of the guide post is connected to the quick clamp connecting plate B, and the other end is connected to the guide post mounting plate, which is used to limit the offset of the polyurethane pressure block in vertical movement.
[0011] Preferably, the probe is a dual-headed probe, and the diameter of the probe is adapted to the lighting requirements of the fine pin electrode of the FPC gold finger.
[0012] Compared with the traditional structure, the beneficial effects of this utility model are: This invention uses a PCB circuit board to replace the traditional upper and lower mold mounting board, eliminating the need for complex processing, reducing cumulative errors, and lowering production and maintenance costs.
[0013] By using precise positioning pins, preset probe exposure length, and flexible pressing contact, the probe is ensured to make stable contact with the FPC gold fingers, avoiding repeated lighting operations and improving detection efficiency.
[0014] The flexible material properties of polyurethane blocks effectively reduce the pressure damage and scratches on the FPC gold fingers during the pressing process, thereby reducing the product defect rate.
[0015] The integrated probe module can be quickly migrated between manual fixtures and automated equipment to adapt to different production needs and improve equipment utilization. Attached Figure Description
