Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of hard disk testing technology, and in particular to a solid-state hard disk test rack. Background Technology

[0002] Solid-state drives (SSDs) are storage devices based on flash memory technology. They offer faster read and write speeds and greater durability, making them suitable for various computing needs. They are a common component in computers. After production, SSDs typically undergo power-on testing to ensure they can be used normally, which requires the use of a test fixture.

[0003] A search revealed a solid-state drive (SSD) test rack (publication number: CN223582693U) on the Chinese Patent Network. The rack includes a main body with multiple insertion slots at its top. Extension blocks extend from both sides of the top of the main body. Two fixing plates are fixed to the tops of the extension blocks. Multiple sets of first limiting plates are provided on the inner top of each fixing plate, with two plates in each set. A connecting plate is provided between two opposing first limiting plates on each side. A first adjustment component is provided between the first limiting plates and the fixing plates. The first adjustment component adjusts the positions of the first limiting plates and the connecting plate, while a second adjustment component adjusts the positions of the two second limiting plates. This clamps and limits the SSD from all sides, effectively preventing bending of the gold fingers at the insertion points due to external forces, thus avoiding any impact on the SSD test results or damage. The application uses a first adjustment component and a second adjustment component to adjust the position of the first limiting plate, the connecting plate, and the two second limiting plates, clamping and limiting the hard drive around its perimeter to ensure stability during the solid-state drive insertion and removal test and to protect the hard drive. However, the hard drive insertion and removal operation in this application requires manual operation by the staff, which results in a large number of hard drives being inserted and removed at one time, reducing the testing efficiency of the hard drive. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the shortcomings of existing technologies by proposing a solid-state drive test fixture.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: A solid-state drive (SSD) test rack includes a test rack body. A fixing groove is formed on the upper surface of the test rack body. A gantry frame is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the test rack body. An electric push rod is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the gantry frame. The output end of the electric push rod is fixedly connected to a power-connected test slot. A plug-in assembly is provided on the inner bottom wall of the fixing groove. The plug-in assembly includes a first conveyor belt. Two extrusion frames are slidably connected to the inner bottom wall of the fixing groove. A servo motor is mounted on the upper surface of each of the two extrusion frames. A rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor. The rotating shaft is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor via a coupling. Several rotating grooves are formed on the opposite sides of the two extrusion frames. A drive roller is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating groove. An angled guide plate is fixedly connected to the left side of each of the two extrusion frames. A base plate is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the fixing groove. A second conveyor belt is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the fixing groove.

[0006] Preferably, the bottom end of the rotating shaft extends into the interior of the rotating groove and is fixedly connected to the surface of the drive roller. The surface of the drive roller is provided with a transmission mechanism. By driving the rotating shaft to rotate through a servo motor, several drive rollers can be driven to rotate synchronously through the transmission mechanism.

[0007] Preferably, the transmission mechanism includes a synchronous belt and synchronous pulleys. Two synchronous pulleys are fixedly connected to the surfaces of every two adjacent drive rollers, and each group of synchronous pulleys is connected to each other by a synchronous belt. During the rotation of the drive rollers by the rotating shaft, the synchronous rotation of multiple drive rollers can be achieved through the synchronous pulleys and the synchronous belt.

[0008] Preferably, the positions of the two extrusion frames correspond to the positions of the first conveyor belt, the base plate, and the second conveyor belt, respectively, and the power connection test slot is located at the center of the fixed slot.

[0009] Preferably, the front and back of the test fixture body are provided with through holes that are adapted to the extrusion frame and the angled guide plate. The inner bottom wall of the two through holes is provided with a sliding groove. The inner wall of the sliding groove is slidably connected to two right-angle brackets. The front of the test fixture body is rotatably connected with a positive and negative threaded rod.

[0010] Preferably, the rear end of the positive and negative threaded rod is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the slide groove, and the two right-angle brackets are respectively threaded to the positive and negative threads on the surface of the positive and negative threaded rod. The opposite surfaces of the two right-angle brackets are respectively fixedly connected to the side of the two extrusion frames away from the fixed groove. After the positive and negative threaded rods rotate, they can drive the two right-angle brackets to move closer or further away from each other, thereby shortening or increasing the distance between the two extrusion frames.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this utility model are as follows: 1. Through the design of the plug-in assembly, the first conveyor belt, drive roller, and second conveyor belt can work together to automatically transport, test, and unload solid-state drives (SSDs). The two angled guide plates ensure that the SSD's plug-in interface is vertically positioned to the right. After the electric push rod lowers the power connection test slot, the friction between the drive wheel and the front and back of the SSD automatically inserts it into the power connection test slot to complete the power connection test. After the test is completed, the drive roller moves the SSD to the second conveyor belt to complete the automatic unloading of the SSD. The entire process does not require manual plugging and unplugging of the SSD, thus improving the testing efficiency of the SSD. 2. Through the coordinated design of the forward and reverse threaded rods and two right-angle brackets, the forward and reverse threaded rods can be used to move the two right-angle brackets closer or further apart. When the two right-angle brackets move further apart, the distance between the two compression frames is increased, making it suitable for larger solid-state drives. When the two right-angle brackets move closer together, the distance between the two compression frames is shortened, making it suitable for smaller solid-state drives, thus offering high flexibility.

[0014] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments of the present utility model. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments.

[0015] Reference Figure 1-4Example 1: A solid-state drive test rack includes a test rack body 1. A fixing groove is formed on the upper surface of the test rack body 1. A gantry frame 2 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the test rack body 1. An electric push rod 3 is fixedly connected to the upper surface of the gantry frame 2. An electrical test slot 4 is fixedly connected to the output end of the electric push rod 3. A plug-in assembly 5 is provided on the inner bottom wall of the fixing groove. The plug-in assembly 5 includes a first conveyor belt 501. Two extrusion frames 502 are slidably connected to the inner bottom wall of the fixing groove. A servo motor 503 is installed on the upper surface of each of the two extrusion frames 502. A rotating shaft 504 is fixedly connected to the output end of the servo motor 503. Several rotating grooves are formed on the opposite sides of each of the two extrusion frames 502. A drive roller 505 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the rotating groove. An angled guide plate 506 is fixedly connected to the left side of each of the two extrusion frames 502. A base plate 507 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the fixing groove. A second conveyor belt 508 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom wall of the fixing groove. The bottom end of the rotating shaft 504 extends into the interior of the rotating groove and is fixedly connected to the surface of the drive roller 505. The surface of the drive roller 505 is provided with a transmission mechanism, which includes a synchronous belt 509 and a synchronous pulley 510. Two synchronous pulleys 510 are fixedly connected to the surfaces of every two adjacent drive rollers 505, and each group of synchronous pulleys 510 is connected to each other by a synchronous belt 509. The positions of the two extrusion frames 502 correspond to the positions of the first conveyor belt 501, the base plate 507 and the second conveyor belt 508, respectively, and the electrical test slot 4 is located at the center of the fixed groove. The solid-state drive (SSD) is placed on the first conveyor belt 501, which moves the SSD to the right. Guided by two angled guide plates 506, the SSD moves to the right with its interface positioned to the right. When the SSD reaches the base plate 507, its front and back surfaces contact the surfaces of the two sets of drive rollers 505. At this time, the servo motor 503 starts and drives several drive rollers 505 to rotate synchronously through the transmission mechanism. The two sets of drive rollers 505 can continuously move the SSD to the right on the base plate 507. During this process, the electric push rod 3 can lower the power connection test slot 4 above the base plate 507. The two sets of drive rollers 505 can automatically insert the SSD into the power connection test slot 4 through friction between themselves and the SSD, realizing automated testing. This eliminates the need for manual insertion and removal of the SSD, improving the testing efficiency. In addition, after the solid-state drive test is completed, the servo motor 503 drives the drive roller 505 to reverse, so that the solid-state drive is disengaged from the power connection test slot 4. At the same time, the electric push rod 3 drives the power connection test slot 4 to move upward, and the servo motor 503 drives the drive roller 505 to rotate again, which in turn can move the tested solid-state drive to the second conveyor belt 508 to complete the automatic unloading operation.

[0016] Example 2: The front and back of the test frame body 1 are provided with through holes that are adapted to the extrusion frame 502 and the angled guide plate 506. The inner bottom wall of the two through holes is provided with a sliding groove. The inner wall of the sliding groove is slidably connected to two right-angle brackets 511. The front of the test frame body 1 is rotatably connected to a positive and negative threaded rod 512. The rear end of the positive and negative threaded rod 512 is rotatably connected to the inner wall of the sliding groove. The two right-angle brackets 511 are respectively threaded to the positive and negative threads on the surface of the positive and negative threaded rod 512. The opposite surfaces of the two right-angle brackets 511 are respectively fixedly connected to the side of the two extrusion frames 502 away from the fixed groove. By rotating the forward and reverse threaded rods 512, the two right-angle brackets 511 can be moved closer or further apart within the slide groove. When the two right-angle brackets 511 are close together, they can move the two compression frames 502 closer together, thereby shortening the distance between the two compression frames 502 and facilitating the transport of smaller solid-state drives. At the same time, when the two right-angle brackets 511 are far apart, they can increase the distance between the two compression frames 502, thereby transporting larger solid-state drives and providing greater flexibility.

[0017] Working principle: First, the solid-state drive (SSD) to be tested is placed on the first conveyor belt 501. The first conveyor belt 501 transports the SSD, and the two angled guide plates 506 guide and block it, ensuring that the SSD moves to the right in a fixed posture. When the SSD contacts the base plate 507, its front and back surfaces contact the surfaces of multiple sets of drive rollers 505. At this time, the servo motor 503 drives the rotating shaft 504 to rotate, which in turn drives multiple drive rollers 505 to rotate synchronously through several transmission mechanisms. The drive rollers 505, through friction with the SSD, propel the SSD to continue moving to the right on the base plate 507. At this time, the electric push rod 3 lowers the power-on test slot 4 to a position above the base plate 507, and the SSD moves upward on the base plate 507. During operation, the solid-state drive (SSD) is automatically inserted into the power-on test slot 4. After the SSD undergoes power-on testing in the power-on test slot 4, the servo motor 503 drives the drive roller 505 to reverse. At this time, the SSD disengages from the power-on test slot 4. Simultaneously, the electric push rod 3 moves the power-on test slot 4 upward. Then, the servo motor 503 drives the drive roller 505 to rotate forward again, thereby moving the SSD onto the second conveyor belt 508. This achieves automated testing and unloading of the SSD, eliminating the need for manual insertion and removal operations and improving the testing efficiency of the SSD. Furthermore, by rotating the forward and reverse threaded rods 512, the distance between the two extrusion frames 502 can be changed through the two right-angle brackets 511, making it suitable for SSDs of different sizes and offering greater flexibility.

Any equivalent substitutions or changes made by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present utility model, based on the technical solution and the inventive concept of the present utility model, should be included within the protection scope of the present utility model.
