Testing Device With Protective Casing For Circuit Board
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional circuit board testing methods often damage memory components due to repeated insertion and removal, leading to increased manufacturing costs and reduced testing efficiency and accuracy.
Innovation Solution
A testing device with a protective casing that houses a second circuit board, connected through a second and third circuit board, allowing for electrical connection without direct contact, thereby preventing damage from handling and wear.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Ease of operation
If the tester directly handles the memory for insertion and removal during testing, then the testing operation can be performed, but the memory components become damaged due to repeated handling
Solution Approach 1:
The patent introduces a socket as an intermediary component between the tester and the memory. The socket has a body that receives the memory and a protective casing that the tester handles instead. This mediator transfers the mechanical stress of insertion and removal away from the memory components, allowing testing operations while preserving memory integrity.
Solution Approach 2:
The testing system is segmented into distinct functional components: the protective casing, the socket body, the memory, and the circuit board. This segmentation allows the protective casing to absorb handling stresses while the memory remains isolated and protected within the socket structure.
2Productivity
If the memory is repeatedly inserted and removed during testing, then the testing process can be completed, but the contact elements become worn and oxidized
Solution Approach 1:
The socket body acts as an intermediary that receives the memory insertions and removals. The protective casing further mediates by providing a robust interface for tester handling, isolating the delicate contact elements from direct mechanical stress, wear, and oxidation during repeated testing operations.
Solution Approach 2:
The protective casing is designed beforehand to absorb and distribute mechanical stresses during insertion and removal operations. This pre-established protective structure prevents direct contact between the tester and delicate components, cushioning them against wear and oxidation before damage can occur.
3Ease of operation
If the tester directly contacts the circuit board during testing, then the testing operation can be performed, but the circuit board becomes hit and damaged
Solution Approach 1:
The protective casing serves as an intermediary structure that the tester contacts during operations. It transfers and distributes mechanical forces away from the circuit board, allowing testing operations while preventing direct impact damage to the circuit board and its components.
