Description

Technical Field

[0002] In the PCBA (Printed Circuit Board Assembly) manufacturing industry, existing PCBA boards are generally not subjected to detailed circuit testing during the production process unless there are special requirements. Short circuit boards are not tested. PCBA boards are produced directly according to the submitted Gerber files, and then surface mount technology is used to process them into PCBA boards without conducting detailed sampling inspections.

[0003] Meanwhile, PCBA boards that have completed production will not undergo full circuit testing unless there are special requirements, which may cause various problems in the finished products. Furthermore, detailed testing also incurs high costs and time. For example, flying probe testing of a standard PCB board requires expensive flying probe testing machines and takes a long time, approximately one to three hours to test a single board, with some unnecessary points being omitted. In addition, composite mold testing, while potentially reducing time, requires the manufacture of separate molds. The production of composite molds consists of layers of boards, including pins, wire bonding, and ribbon cables, making it costly and time-consuming to produce. Utility Model Content

[0015] The embodiments of this application will now be further described in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation details.

[0016] Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the online test circuit for the PCBA circuit board provided in this embodiment.

[0017] like Figure 1 As shown, the online testing circuit includes an anti-static module, a charging module, a power supply module, a probe detection module, an alarm module, and a display module. The anti-static module is connected to the charging module and is used to prevent high-voltage surges from external static electricity from burning out the circuit. The charging module is connected to the power supply module and is used to charge the power supply module, improving its continuous operating capability. The power supply module is connected to the probe detection module, the alarm module, and the display module, and provides power to the online testing circuit. The probe detection module is connected to the power supply module and the alarm module, forming an open circuit between the probe detection module, the power supply module, and the alarm module, but creating a circuit through the PCBA circuit board under test. The alarm module is connected to the display module and issues an alarm based on whether it forms a circuit with the probe detection module and the PCBA circuit board under test. The display module is connected to the alarm module and displays the detection information based on the alarm module's detection results.

[0018] Specifically, such as Figure 1 As shown, the anti-static module includes at least one set of RC units, each consisting of a resistor and a capacitor connected in parallel. In this embodiment, one set of RC units is used as an example. The resistor R4 and the capacitor C1 are connected in parallel to form an RC unit, one end of which is grounded, and the other end is connected to the charging module.

[0019] The charging module includes a charging interface USB1, a charging chip U2, and a connection circuit between the charging interface USB1 and the charging chip U2. The charging module is connected to an external charging power source through the charging interface USB1, and the charging chip U2 converts the voltage of the external charging power source to the charging voltage of the power module. In this embodiment, the charging chip U2 is model TP4057-MS.

[0020] Specifically, all EH ports of the USB1 charging interface are connected to the RC unit. The B12 port of the USB1 charging interface is grounded. The B9 port of the USB1 charging interface is connected to the 5V VCC voltage through fuse F1. The A5 port of the USB1 charging interface is grounded through resistor R2. The B5 port of the USB1 charging interface is grounded through resistor R1. The A9 port of the USB1 charging interface is connected to the B9 port of the USB1 charging interface. The A12 port of the USB1 charging interface is grounded. One end of diode D1 is grounded together with resistor R2, and the other end of diode D1 is connected to the 5V VCC voltage.

[0021] Port 1 of the charging chip U2 is connected to the 5V VCC voltage via a series resistor R6 and an LED. Port 2 of the charging chip U2 is grounded. One end of the parallel connection between diode D2 and capacitor C3 is connected to port 3 of the charging chip U2, and the other end is grounded. Port 4 of the charging chip U2 is connected to the 5V VCC voltage. Port 5 of the charging chip U2 is connected to the LED. One end of resistor R7 is grounded, and the other end is connected to port 6 of the charging chip U2. One end of capacitor C2 is connected to the 5V VCC voltage, and the other end of capacitor C2 is grounded.

[0022] In this embodiment, the charging interface USB1 is a Type-C charging interface. The Type-C charging interface, combined with the charging chip U2, enables rapid charging of the power module, significantly improving its charging speed. The charging interface USB1 can be powered by a standard 5V power supply, such as a computer's Type-C 5V power supply. This can be achieved by directly plugging a standard USB-to-Type-C cable into the computer, or by directly connecting a Type-C 5V plug.

[0023] The power module is a lithium battery, one end of which is connected to the charging module, and the other end is grounded. Specifically, as shown... Figure 1 As shown, pin 1 of lithium battery U1 is grounded, and pin 2 of lithium battery U1 is connected to port 3 of the charging chip U2 to receive charging from the charging module.

[0024] The probe detection module includes a first detection port SC1 and a second detection port SC2. The first detection port SC1 is connected to the power supply module and grounded, and the second detection port SC2 is connected to the alarm module. There is an open circuit between the first detection port SC1 and the second detection port SC2. The first detection port SC1 and the second detection port SC2 are connected by soldered probe pin sockets, allowing for plug-and-play probe use. Each module is connected by a different wiring network (copper wires on the PCB).

[0025] The assembly process of the first detection hole SC1 and the second detection hole SC2 includes: welding the probe holder to the first detection hole SC1 and the second detection hole SC2, requiring the backplate interface to be flattened after welding, and paying attention to the orientation of the welded interface. Welding the base of the lithium battery U1 requires a heating table. The base of the lithium battery U1 is made of plastic, which is prone to melting at temperatures exceeding 200 degrees Celsius. The solder pads on the base of the lithium battery U1 are relatively small, necessitating welding with a heating table, and attention must be paid to the orientation of the welded position.

[0026] The alarm module includes a buzzer and a connection circuit connected to the buzzer and the second detection hole. Specifically, as shown... Figure 1 As shown, one end of resistor R5 is connected to the second detection port SC2, and the other end is connected to the emitter of transistor Q2. Port 1 of switch SW1 is connected to pin 2 of the lithium battery U1; port 2 of switch SW1 is connected to the positive terminal of buzzer BUZZER1; port 3 of switch SW1 is unused; port 4 of switch SW1 is connected to pin 2 of the lithium battery U1; port 5 of switch SW1 is connected to control chip U5; and port 6 of switch SW1 is unused. The negative terminal of buzzer BUZZER1 is connected to the collector of transistor Q1, the emitter of transistor Q1 is connected to the base of transistor Q2, and the base of transistor Q1 is connected to the collector of transistor Q2. One end of resistor R3 is connected to the positive terminal of buzzer BUZZER1, and the other end of resistor R3 is connected to the base of transistor Q1.

[0027] In this embodiment, the control chip U5 is model AMS1117-3.3. Capacitor C10 is connected to ports 1 and 3 of the control chip U5, and port 3 of the control chip U5 is connected to port 5 of the switch SW1. Port 2 of the control chip U5 is unused. Port 4 of the control chip U5 is connected to a 3V VCC voltage. One end of capacitor C11 is connected to port 4 of the control chip U5, and the other end of capacitor C11 is grounded.

[0028] The display module includes a display screen and peripheral circuitry for the display screen. In this embodiment, an OLED display screen is used as an example. The OLED display screen is connected to a control chip U3. In this embodiment, the control chip U3 is model STC8H1K08-36I-TSSOP20. The control chip U3 is communicatively connected to the control chip U5, receives information from the control chip U5, and controls the OLED display screen to display the continuity information of the PCBA circuit board under test.

[0029] like Figure 1 As shown in this embodiment, the online test circuit further includes a WiFi module, which is connected to the alarm module and the display module. The WiFi module transmits the status information of the online test circuit to the outside world. Adding the WiFi module allows the collected data to be displayed on the OLED screen, showing the specific continuity of components or different signal networks on the PCBA circuit board under test. The WiFi module can also upload the test data to the cloud for detailed data analysis, making the information detected by the testing device more refined, clear, and concise.

[0030] The online testing circuit also includes a memory module connected to the alarm module and the display module. The memory module stores alarm information from the alarm module. The control module can convert and send the detected data to the corresponding serial port, allowing direct viewing of data changes on a PC. Visual operation is possible, and the system can be easily configured through the memory module. It can detect more data, accurately locate required information, and add more functions, but this requires higher technical expertise, is more complex to operate, and is more costly.

[0031] The working principle of the online testing circuit for the PCBA circuit board provided in this embodiment is as follows: Check whether there is a short circuit or open circuit at the corresponding point on the PCBA circuit board under test: Before testing, turn on the switch of the detection circuit. Reserve test points on the PCBA board to be tested (if there are no test points, the exposed pads are generally tested). During testing, align any one of the test probes in the detection circuit with the test point or pad, keep the test position still, and align the other test probe with the GND test point or GND pad. Listen for feedback from the buzzer in the detection circuit. If the test point is short-circuited to GND, the buzzer in the detection circuit will be grounded and form a loop, and the buzzer will immediately sound an alarm. If there is no short circuit, the buzzer will not form a loop and will not sound. The control chip of the display module receives the message and displays it on the OLED screen. A short circuit will indicate "Short Circuit" and an open circuit will indicate "Open Circuit".

[0032] Check whether there is a short circuit or open circuit at both ends of the specific components on the PCBA circuit board under test: Before testing, turn on the switch of the detection circuit and directly test the exposed pads at both ends of the component on the PCBA circuit board to be tested. Place the two detection probes on the pads of the component under test (there is no left or right distinction). By listening to the sound feedback from the buzzer of the alarm detection module, determine whether the component is short-circuited. If the component is short-circuited, the buzzer in the detection circuit will sound an alarm because the short circuit at both ends of the component forms a loop. If there is no short circuit, the buzzer in the detection circuit will not sound an alarm, and the control chip of the display module will receive the message and display it on the OLED display screen. A short circuit will be indicated as "short circuit", and an open circuit will be indicated as "open circuit".

[0033] This embodiment also provides an online testing device for PCBA circuit boards. The online testing device includes a housing, a detection port, a charging port, and a circuit board on which the online testing circuit of the PCBA circuit board as described in this embodiment is arranged. The circuit board is disposed inside the housing, and the detection port and the charging port are both connected to the circuit board.

[0034] This application provides an online testing circuit and device for PCBA circuit boards. The circuit structure is simple, directly connecting to the PCBA circuit board under test via a probe detection module. The state of the PCBA circuit board under test can be determined by observing the continuity of the circuit. This effectively tests the PCBA circuit board. The online testing circuit for PCBA circuit boards provided in this application is low-cost, easy to operate, and suitable for large-scale application.
