Multi-Probe Electrical Testing Device with Rotating Holder
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional electrical testing devices can only test products with a single specification at a time, requiring manual disassembly and replacement of probe sets, which is time-consuming and laborious for handling multiple testing specifications.
Innovation Solution
An electrical testing device with a base, platform, support, test arms, rotary tables, holders, and multiple probe sets that allow for movement and rotation to accommodate different testing specifications, enabling contact with tested portions at various angles and distances.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If a conventional electrical testing device uses a single probe set configuration, then the device structure remains simple, but it can only test products with one single testing specification at once and cannot handle tasks of multiple testing specifications
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements dynamic configurability through motorized rotation of the probe set holder and automated selection mechanisms. The holder can rotate to different angular positions, and probe sets can be automatically selected and positioned based on the required testing specification, transforming a static single-configuration device into a dynamic multi-configuration system.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal testing device that can handle multiple testing specifications by incorporating a plurality of probe sets with different configurations. The system is designed to accommodate various probe set types and arrangements, enabling one device to perform multiple testing functions that would otherwise require separate dedicated devices.
2Adaptability or versatility
If manual disassembly and replacement of probe sets is performed to test products with different specifications, then the device can handle multiple testing specifications, but the process becomes time-consuming and laborious
Solution Approach 1:
The patent implements self-service through automated probe set selection and positioning systems. The device automatically selects the appropriate probe set from the holder based on the required testing specification and positions it without manual intervention. This eliminates the need for operators to manually disassemble and replace probe sets, significantly reducing replacement time and labor requirements.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent applies preliminary action by pre-arranging multiple probe sets in the rotating holder in specific positions corresponding to different testing specifications. The system pre-configures the available probe sets before testing begins, allowing rapid automated selection and switching during operation without requiring manual reconfiguration for each specification change.
3Productivity
If multiple probe sets are incorporated with movement and rotation capabilities, then the device can accommodate different testing specifications efficiently, but the device complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The patent applies segmentation by dividing the probe set system into modular components: a holder unit, multiple independently positionable probe sets, rotation mechanisms, and selection systems. Each probe set can be independently selected and positioned, allowing the complex functionality to be broken down into manageable modular segments that work together to achieve high testing efficiency.
