The main control unit 211 is notified to drive the circuit board to start up, to ensure that the power supply on the circuit board is normal, and to prevent possible damage of parts. When the circuit board ends the test operation, the detection and feedback unit 214 can notify the main control unit 211 to interrupt the power supply to the circuit board after detecting that the circuit board generates the last interrupt supply, and ensure that the circuit board does not generate an abnormality before the circuit board is closed. Power off to prevent board settings or safety.

It should be noted that, in order to clearly show the structural design and operation mode of the specific module of the automatic test device 1 of the present invention, only some modules of the automatic test device 1 of the present invention are partially shown in FIG. 4 to FIG. Hereby explain.
如圖4所示,當本發明之電路板自動測試裝置1未執行任何電路板測試作業時,承載平台10係位於如圖所示之待機位置而至少一部分外露於裝置本體20外,以便測試人員放置待測試之電路板50。當測試人員放置電路板50於承載平台10上時,承載平台10之各感測件11會將感測訊號傳送至主控模組(圖未示),以供判斷電路板50是否放置到定位。舉例來說,假設承載平台10因應目前所測試之電路板形式而設置3個感測件11(如圖中虛線圓圈處),當測試人員放置規格相符之電路板50並擺設至正確位置時,3個感測件11都會被電路板50所壓迫或遮蔽而產生對應感測訊號,此時主控模組即可判斷電路板50已正確地放置在承載平台10上,繼而開始移動承載 平台10。反之,若電路板50規格不符或未正確放置,可能只有1個或2個感測件11會產生對應感測訊號,此時主控模組則判斷電路板50未正確放置在承載平台10上,因此不會進行後續測試作業。As shown in FIG. 4, when the circuit board automatic test apparatus 1 of the present invention does not perform any circuit board test operation, the carrier platform 10 is located at the standby position as shown and at least a portion is exposed outside the apparatus body 20 for testing personnel. Place the board 50 to be tested. When the tester places the circuit board 50 on the carrying platform 10, each sensing component 11 of the carrying platform 10 transmits the sensing signal to the main control module (not shown) for judging whether the circuit board 50 is placed or not. . For example, assume that the carrying platform 10 is provided with three sensing members 11 in accordance with the currently tested circuit board form (as shown by the dotted circle in the figure), when the tester places the circuit board 50 of the same specification and is placed in the correct position, The three sensing members 11 are pressed or shielded by the circuit board 50 to generate corresponding sensing signals. At this time, the main control module can judge that the circuit board 50 has been correctly placed on the carrying platform 10, and then starts to move the bearing. Platform 10. On the other hand, if the specifications of the circuit board 50 do not match or are not correctly placed, only one or two sensing elements 11 may generate corresponding sensing signals. At this time, the main control module determines that the circuit board 50 is not correctly placed on the carrying platform 10. Therefore, subsequent test jobs will not be performed.
如圖4及圖5所示,當主控模組判斷電路板50已正確地放置在承載平台10上後,即可通知驅動模組(圖未示)驅動承載平台10,使承載平台10自圖4之待機位置移動至如圖5之測試位置,承載平台10則進入裝置本體20內。而當承載平台10移動至測試位置時,承載平台10會觸發設置於承載平台10之移動路徑上之防呆元件27a,此時防呆元件27a會發送訊號至主控模組;主控模組接收到訊號後,即可通知驅動模組停止驅動承載平台10,使得承載平台10固定於測試位置,以便進行後續測試作業。As shown in FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, after the main control module determines that the circuit board 50 has been correctly placed on the carrying platform 10, the driving module (not shown) can be notified to drive the carrying platform 10, so that the carrying platform 10 is self-contained. The standby position of FIG. 4 moves to the test position of FIG. 5, and the carrying platform 10 enters the apparatus body 20. When the carrying platform 10 is moved to the test position, the carrying platform 10 triggers the foolproof component 27a disposed on the moving path of the carrying platform 10, and the foolproof component 27a sends a signal to the main control module; the main control module After receiving the signal, the driver module can be notified to stop driving the carrier platform 10, so that the carrier platform 10 is fixed at the test position for subsequent testing operations.
如圖5及圖6所示,輸入/輸出連接模組22設置在位於測試位置之承載平台10之外圍周邊。當確認承載平台10固定於測試位置後,主控模組接著會通知另一驅動模組25a驅動輸入/輸出連接模組22,使得輸入/輸出連接模組22相對於承載平台10實質上水平移動。由於輸入/輸出連接模組22所固定之各外部裝置連接介面之位置和高度均配合電路板50之各對應輸入/輸出連接介面51,使得輸入/輸出連接模組22沿實質上平行於承載平台之平面朝承載平台移動時,可讓電路板50之對應輸入/輸出連接介面51與輸入/輸出連接模組22所固定之各外部裝置連接介面相互電性連接,以便對電路板50進行測試作業時提供訊號或資料傳遞功能。同樣地,當輸入/輸出連接模組 22移動至定位時,輸入/輸出連接模組22會觸發設置於輸入/輸出連接模組22之移動路徑上之防呆元件27b,使得主控模組通知驅動模組停止驅動輸入/輸出連接模組22而被固定,以便進行後續測試作業。As shown in FIGS. 5 and 6, the input/output connection module 22 is disposed at the periphery of the periphery of the carrier platform 10 at the test position. After confirming that the carrying platform 10 is fixed at the test position, the main control module then notifies the other driving module 25a to drive the input/output connecting module 22, so that the input/output connecting module 22 moves substantially horizontally relative to the carrying platform 10. . Since the position and height of each external device connection interface fixed by the input/output connection module 22 are matched with the corresponding input/output connection interfaces 51 of the circuit board 50, the input/output connection module 22 is substantially parallel to the carrier platform. When the plane moves toward the carrying platform, the corresponding input/output connection interface 51 of the circuit board 50 and the external device connection interfaces fixed by the input/output connection module 22 are electrically connected to each other for testing the circuit board 50. Provide signal or data transfer function. Similarly, when the input / output connection module When moving to the positioning position, the input/output connection module 22 triggers the foolproof component 27b disposed on the moving path of the input/output connection module 22, so that the main control module notifies the driving module to stop driving the input/output connection mode. Group 22 is fixed for subsequent testing.
請參考圖7係本發明之電路板自動測試裝置1之探針測試模組23與承載平台10之示意圖。需注意的是,為清楚表示本發明之電路板自動測試裝置1特定模組之結構設計,於圖7中僅局部顯示本發明之電路板自動測試裝置1之部分模組,特此說明。Please refer to FIG. 7 , which is a schematic diagram of the probe test module 23 and the carrying platform 10 of the automatic board testing device 1 of the present invention. It is to be noted that, in order to clearly show the structural design of the specific module of the automatic test device 1 of the present invention, only a part of the module of the automatic test device 1 of the present invention is partially shown in FIG.
如圖7所示,探針測試模組23設置在位於測試位置之承載平台10之上方。探針測試模組23包括至少一探針231及至少一緩衝結構232,其中至少一探針231之設置位置對應於電路板50上之至少一測試點52之位置。當承載平台10移動至前述測試位置後,探針測試模組23可朝承載平台10所在位置相對於承載平台10實質上垂直移動(即圖中朝下方之箭頭方向),以藉由至少一探針231電性連接電路板50上之至少一測試點52,以供進行對應電性測試。As shown in FIG. 7, the probe test module 23 is disposed above the carrier platform 10 at the test location. The probe test module 23 includes at least one probe 231 and at least one buffer structure 232. The position of the at least one probe 231 corresponds to the position of at least one test point 52 on the circuit board 50. After the carrying platform 10 is moved to the aforementioned test position, the probe test module 23 can move substantially perpendicular to the position of the carrying platform 10 relative to the carrying platform 10 (ie, in the direction of the arrow in the figure), by at least one probe. The pin 231 is electrically connected to at least one test point 52 on the circuit board 50 for performing a corresponding electrical test.
至少一緩衝結構232採用塑性或彈性材料所製成,且其設置位置可對應於電路板50上之工具孔53(例如螺絲孔等)。於探針測試模組23實質上垂直朝承載平台10移動之過程中,藉由各緩衝結構232抵接電路板50,一方面抵銷探針測試模組23之各探針231施予電路板50之應力,另一方面可限制探針測試模組23實質上垂直朝承載平台10方向移動之距離。The at least one buffer structure 232 is made of a plastic or elastic material and is disposed at a position corresponding to the tool hole 53 (for example, a screw hole or the like) on the circuit board 50. During the process of the probe test module 23 moving substantially perpendicularly toward the carrying platform 10, each buffer structure 232 abuts the circuit board 50, and on the other hand, the probes 231 of the probe test module 23 are offset to the circuit board. The stress of 50, on the other hand, limits the distance that the probe test module 23 moves substantially perpendicularly toward the load bearing platform 10.
此外,在本發明之一實施例中,承載平台10更包括至少一導引結構12,而探針測試模組23更包括至少一對應導引結構233,承載平台10之各導引結構12之設置位置對應於探針測試模組23之各對應導引結構233之設置位置,且二者結構相互配合,例如承載平台10之各導引結構12為一穿孔,而探針測試模組23之各對應導引結構233為一導柱,但本發明不以此為限。在探針測試模組23實質上垂直承載平台10移動之過程中,藉由各導引結構12配合各對應導引結構233,使得探針測試模組23可穩定朝承載平台10移動。In addition, in one embodiment of the present invention, the carrying platform 10 further includes at least one guiding structure 12, and the probe testing module 23 further includes at least one corresponding guiding structure 233, and each guiding structure 12 of the carrying platform 10 The setting position corresponds to the position of each corresponding guiding structure 233 of the probe testing module 23, and the two structures are matched with each other. For example, each guiding structure 12 of the carrying platform 10 is a perforation, and the probe testing module 23 Each of the corresponding guiding structures 233 is a guiding post, but the invention is not limited thereto. During the movement of the probe test module 23 substantially perpendicular to the load bearing platform 10, the respective guide structures 12 cooperate with the corresponding guide structures 233, so that the probe test module 23 can be stably moved toward the load bearing platform 10.
請一併參考圖8及圖9。圖8係本發明之電路板自動測試裝置1之探針測試模組23及散熱模組24於測試前之位置示意圖;圖9係本發明之電路板自動測試裝置1之探針測試模組23及散熱模組24於測試時之位置示意圖。需注意的是,為清楚表示本發明之電路板自動測試裝置1特定模組之作動方式,於圖8及圖9中僅局部顯示本發明之電路板自動測試裝置1之部分模組,特此說明。Please refer to FIG. 8 and FIG. 9 together. 8 is a schematic diagram of the position of the probe test module 23 and the heat dissipation module 24 of the automatic test device 1 of the present invention before testing; FIG. 9 is a probe test module 23 of the automatic test device 1 of the circuit board of the present invention. And the position of the heat dissipation module 24 at the time of testing. It should be noted that, in order to clearly show the operation mode of the specific module of the automatic test device 1 of the present invention, only some modules of the automatic test device 1 of the present invention are partially shown in FIG. 8 and FIG. .
如圖8所示,散熱模組24設置在位於測試位置之承載平台10之下方。探針測試模組23及散熱模組24(如圖中粗虛線所示)藉由對應結構設計,以利用同一驅動模組25b同時驅動探針測試模組23及散熱模組24朝相反方向移動。在本實施例中,驅動模組25b結合一底座30,並可藉由驅動驅動模組25b使該底座30朝實質上平行承載平台10之一軸向L移動。底座30包括設置位置相對應之複數第一導槽31及複數第二導槽32,而對應之第一導 槽31及第二導槽32係彼此錯位交錯但未實際相交,而形成如圖8所示之類似X形軌道。探針測試模組23可藉由其各第一滾輪件234沿著各第一導槽31滑移,而散熱模組24則可藉由其各第二滾輪件241沿著各第二導槽32滑移。As shown in FIG. 8, the heat dissipation module 24 is disposed below the carrier platform 10 at the test position. The probe test module 23 and the heat dissipation module 24 (shown by thick dashed lines in the figure) are designed by corresponding structures to simultaneously drive the probe test module 23 and the heat dissipation module 24 to move in opposite directions by using the same drive module 25b. . In this embodiment, the driving module 25b is coupled to a base 30, and the base 30 can be moved toward the axial direction L of one of the substantially parallel bearing platforms 10 by driving the driving module 25b. The base 30 includes a plurality of first guiding slots 31 and a plurality of second guiding slots 32 corresponding to the disposed position, and corresponding to the first guiding The groove 31 and the second guide groove 32 are staggered with each other but do not actually intersect to form an X-shaped track as shown in FIG. The probe test module 23 can be slid along each of the first guiding slots 31 by the first roller members 234, and the heat dissipation module 24 can be along the second guiding slots by the second roller members 241. 32 slips.
藉此,當前述承載平台10移動至測試位置後,主控模組可通知驅動模組25b驅動底座30自圖8之位置移動至如圖9之位置,此時底座30將藉由各第一導槽31及各第二導槽32各自導引探針測試模組23及散熱模組24同時移動,探針測試模組23之各第一滾輪件234會沿著各第一導槽31向下滑移,使得探針測試模組23朝承載平台10向下方移動,以藉由探針231電性連接電路板50之測試點52;而散熱模組24之各第二滾輪件241則沿著各第二導槽32向上滑移,使得散熱模組24朝承載平台10向上方移動,使其直接接觸承載平台10或電路板50以提供散熱效果。Therefore, after the carrying platform 10 is moved to the test position, the main control module can notify the driving module 25b to drive the base 30 to move from the position of FIG. 8 to the position of FIG. 9, and the base 30 will be first by each. The guiding slot 31 and the second guiding slot 32 respectively guide the probe test module 23 and the heat dissipation module 24 to move at the same time, and the first roller members 234 of the probe testing module 23 are directed along the first guiding slots 31. The slide test moves the probe test module 23 downward toward the load bearing platform 10 to electrically connect the test points 52 of the circuit board 50 by the probe 231; and the second roller members 241 of the heat dissipation module 24 are along Each of the second guiding slots 32 slides upward, so that the heat dissipation module 24 moves upward toward the carrying platform 10, so that it directly contacts the carrying platform 10 or the circuit board 50 to provide a heat dissipation effect.
最後,當主控模組確認,前述放置有電路板之承載平台10移動至測試位置,輸入/輸出連接模組22與電路板50之對應輸入/輸出介面電性連接,探針測試模組23亦電性連接電路板50之各測試點52,且散熱模組24直接接觸承載平台10或電路板50後,即可對電路板50進行供電以執行測試作業,以取得對應之測試結果。Finally, when the main control module confirms that the carrying platform 10 on which the circuit board is placed moves to the test position, the input/output connection module 22 is electrically connected to the corresponding input/output interface of the circuit board 50, and the probe test module 23 After the test points 52 of the circuit board 50 are electrically connected, and the heat dissipation module 24 directly contacts the carrier platform 10 or the circuit board 50, the circuit board 50 can be powered to perform a test operation to obtain a corresponding test result.
藉由本發明之設計,取代習知方式設置冗長之測試動線來對電路板進行不同項目之測試,僅需將電路板放置於本發明之承載平台上,即可利用一體化設計之電路 板自動測試裝置1完成整個測試作業,不但大幅節省人力及時間成本,並能提高測試之穩定性及精確度。By adopting the design of the present invention, instead of setting up a lengthy test moving line to carry out testing of different items on the circuit board, the circuit board can be placed on the carrying platform of the present invention, and the circuit of the integrated design can be utilized. The board automatic test device 1 completes the entire test operation, which not only saves manpower and time cost, but also improves the stability and accuracy of the test.

It should be noted that the automatic test method for the circuit board of the present invention is described below by taking the automatic test device 1 of the circuit board shown in FIG. 2 as an example, but the present invention is not limited to the automatic test device 1 for the circuit board, and any other A circuit board automatic test apparatus having a similar architecture can also be applied to the method of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 10, the automatic board test method of the present invention includes steps S1 to S6. The various steps of the method are described in detail below.
步驟S1:判斷一電路板50是否正確地放置在承載平台10上。Step S1: It is judged whether a circuit board 50 is correctly placed on the carrying platform 10.
當測試人員將電路板50放置在承載平台10上後,主控模組21可藉由複數感測件11所發送之感測訊號,來判斷電路板50是否被正確地放置在承載平台10上。若是,則續行步驟S2;若否,表示測試人員可能放置規格不同之電路板或電路板放置位置有誤,主控模組21可發出警示訊號,以提醒測試人員更換電路板或將其重新放置。After the tester places the circuit board 50 on the carrying platform 10, the main control module 21 can determine whether the circuit board 50 is correctly placed on the carrying platform 10 by using the sensing signals sent by the plurality of sensing components 11. . If yes, proceed to step S2; if not, it means that the tester may place the board or circuit board with different specifications in the wrong position, and the main control module 21 may issue a warning signal to remind the tester to replace the circuit board or re-install it.

步驟S2:若電路板已正確地放置在承載平台10上,移動承載平台10至裝置本體20內之測試位置。Step S2: If the circuit board has been correctly placed on the carrier platform 10, move the load bearing platform 10 to the test position within the device body 20.
當判斷電路板已正確地放置在承載平台10上後,主控模組21可通知對應承載平台10之驅動模組25開始運作,將承載平台10自外露於裝置本體20外之待機位置移動至裝置本體20內之測試位置,以便進行後續測試作業。After the circuit board is correctly placed on the carrying platform 10, the main control module 21 can notify the driving module 25 of the corresponding carrying platform 10 to start operating, and move the carrying platform 10 from the standby position exposed outside the device body 20 to The test location within the device body 20 for subsequent testing operations.

當承載平台10移動至測試位置後,即可開始電路板測試之準備工作。主控模組21可通知對應輸入/輸出連接模組22之驅動模組25a開始運作,將輸入/輸出連接模組22沿實質上平行承載平台10之平面朝承載平台10方向移動,以使輸入/輸出連接模組22之至少一連接介面可電性連接電路板50之至少一對應輸入/輸出連接介面,以便於測試過程中藉由該些介面之電性連接,來執行訊號、指令傳輸及電源供應等。Once the carrier platform 10 is moved to the test location, preparation for board testing can begin. The main control module 21 can notify the driving module 25a of the corresponding input/output connection module 22 to start operation, and move the input/output connection module 22 along the plane of the substantially parallel bearing platform 10 toward the carrying platform 10 to make the input. The at least one connection interface of the output connection module 22 can be electrically connected to at least one corresponding input/output connection interface of the circuit board 50, so as to perform signal and command transmission through the electrical connection of the interfaces during the test. Power supply, etc.
步驟S4:移動一探針測試模組23以電性連接電路板50之至少一測試點。Step S4: Moving a probe test module 23 to electrically connect at least one test point of the circuit board 50.
當承載平台10移動至測試位置後,主控模組21可通知對應探針測試模組23之驅動模組25b開始運作,將位於承載平台10上方之探針測試模組23,朝承載平台10方向實質上垂直承載平台10移動(即朝下方移動),使得探針測試模組23之至少一探針電性連接電路板50之至少一測試點,以便進行電路板50之對應電性測試。After the loading platform 10 is moved to the test position, the main control module 21 can notify the driving module 25b of the corresponding probe testing module 23 to start operation, and the probe testing module 23 located above the carrying platform 10 faces the carrying platform 10 The direction of the vertical load bearing platform 10 is moved (ie, moved downward), so that at least one probe of the probe test module 23 is electrically connected to at least one test point of the circuit board 50 for performing a corresponding electrical test of the circuit board 50.
當前述電路板自動測試裝置1設置有散熱模組24時,本發明之電路板自動測試方法更包括步驟S5:移動一散熱模組24以接觸承載平台10或電路板50。When the circuit board automatic testing device 1 is provided with the heat dissipation module 24, the automatic circuit board testing method of the present invention further includes step S5: moving a heat dissipation module 24 to contact the carrier platform 10 or the circuit board 50.
當承載平台10移動至測試位置後,主控模組21可通知對應散熱模組24之驅動模組25b開始運作,將位於承載平台10下方之散熱模組24朝承載平台10方向實質上垂直承載平台10移動(即朝上方移動),使得散熱模組 24接觸承載平台10或電路板50,以便於電路板測試過程中提供散熱效果。After the load bearing platform 10 is moved to the test position, the main control module 21 can notify the driving module 25b of the corresponding heat dissipation module 24 to start operation, and the heat dissipation module 24 located under the load bearing platform 10 is substantially vertically loaded toward the load bearing platform 10. The platform 10 moves (ie moves upwards), so that the heat dissipation module 24 contacts the carrier platform 10 or the circuit board 50 to provide heat dissipation during board testing.
需注意的是,前述步驟S3至S5並無絕對之執行順序,本發明亦不以此為限,亦即步驟S3至S5可視需求或實施狀態不同而調整該些步驟之先後執行。It should be noted that the foregoing steps S3 to S5 have no absolute execution order, and the present invention is not limited thereto, that is, steps S3 to S5 can adjust the sequential execution of the steps according to different requirements or implementation states.
於步驟S4或S5後執行步驟S6:當確認輸入/輸出連接模組22及探針測試模組23已電性連接電路板50,且散熱模組24已接觸承載平台10或電路板50後,供電至電路板50以進行測試作業。After step S4 or S5, step S6 is performed: after the input/output connection module 22 and the probe test module 23 are electrically connected to the circuit board 50, and the heat dissipation module 24 has contacted the carrier platform 10 or the circuit board 50, Power is supplied to the circuit board 50 for testing operations.
當主控模組21確認承載平台10移動至測試位置,對應之輸入/輸出連接模組22及探針測試模組23均已移動至定位而與電路板50電性連接,且散熱模組24亦已移動至定位而接觸承載平台10或電路板50後,表示電路板50進行測試之先前準備程序已完成,因此主控模組21可開始對電路板50供電,以便進行測試。其中主控模組21可藉由各防呆元件所發出之訊號來確認前述模組是否已移動至定位,但本發明不以此為限。此外在對電路板50供電前,主控模組21可藉由前述偵測及回饋單元偵測電路板50之供電時序,來判斷可以對電路板50進行供電之時間點。When the main control module 21 confirms that the carrying platform 10 is moved to the test position, the corresponding input/output connection module 22 and the probe test module 23 have been moved to the position and electrically connected to the circuit board 50, and the heat dissipation module 24 After having moved to position to contact the carrier platform 10 or the circuit board 50, the previous preparation process indicating that the circuit board 50 is being tested has been completed, so the main control module 21 can begin to power the circuit board 50 for testing. The main control module 21 can confirm whether the module has been moved to the positioning by the signal sent by each anti-danger component, but the invention is not limited thereto. In addition, before the power supply to the circuit board 50, the main control module 21 can detect the power supply timing of the circuit board 50 by the detecting and feedback unit to determine the time point at which the circuit board 50 can be powered.
此外,圖11係本發明之電路板自動測試方法之另一流程圖,其說明於電路板之測試作業完成後之對應執行步驟。如圖11所示,本發明之電路板自動測試方法更包括步驟S7至步驟S11,以下將詳細說明該方法之各個步驟。In addition, FIG. 11 is another flow chart of the automatic test method for the circuit board of the present invention, which illustrates the corresponding execution steps after the test operation of the circuit board is completed. As shown in FIG. 11, the automatic board testing method of the present invention further includes steps S7 to S11, and the steps of the method will be described in detail below.
於前述步驟S6後進行步驟S7:於測試作業完畢後,中斷對電路板之供電。After the foregoing step S6, the step S7 is performed: after the test operation is completed, the power supply to the circuit board is interrupted.
當前述測試作業完畢後,主控模組21同樣可藉由前述偵測及回饋單元偵測電路板50之供電時序,來判斷可以對電路板50中斷供電之時間點;之後主控模組21即可中斷對電路板之電源供應。After the test operation is completed, the main control module 21 can also detect the power supply timing of the circuit board 50 by detecting the power supply timing of the circuit board 50, and then the main control module 21 can be interrupted. The power supply to the board can be interrupted.
在已設置並移動前述散熱模組24之狀態下,本發明之電路板自動測試方法更包括步驟S8:移動散熱模組24以脫離與承載平台10或電路板50之接觸狀態。In the state in which the heat dissipation module 24 is disposed and moved, the automatic board test method of the present invention further includes step S8: moving the heat dissipation module 24 to be out of contact with the carrier platform 10 or the circuit board 50.
因測試作業已完畢,主控模組21可通知對應散熱模組24之驅動模組25b開始運作,將散熱模組24朝遠離承載平台10之方向實質上垂直承載平台10移動(即朝下方移動),使得散熱模組24脫離與承載平台10或電路板50之接觸狀態。After the test operation is completed, the main control module 21 can notify the driving module 25b of the corresponding heat dissipation module 24 to start operating, and move the heat dissipation module 24 to the substantially vertical bearing platform 10 away from the loading platform 10 (ie, move downward) The heat dissipation module 24 is brought out of contact with the carrier platform 10 or the circuit board 50.
於步驟S7或S8後執行步驟S9:移動探針測試模組23以脫離對電路板50之至少一測試點之電性連接狀態。Step S9 is performed after step S7 or S8: moving the probe test module 23 to disengage the electrical connection state of at least one test point of the circuit board 50.
因測試作業已完畢,主控模組21可通知對應探針測試模組23之驅動模組25b開始運作,將探針測試模組23朝遠離承載平台10之方向實質上垂直承載平台10移動(即朝上方移動),使得探針測試模組23之至少一探針脫離與電路板50之至少一測試點之電性連接狀態。After the test operation is completed, the main control module 21 can notify the driving module 25b of the corresponding probe testing module 23 to start operating, and move the probe testing module 23 to the substantially vertical carrying platform 10 away from the carrying platform 10 ( That is, moving upwards, the at least one probe of the probe test module 23 is disconnected from the electrical connection state of at least one test point of the circuit board 50.
步驟S10:移動輸入輸出連接模組22以脫離對電路板50之至少一對應輸入/輸出連接介面之電性連接狀態。Step S10: The input/output connection module 22 is moved to be disconnected from the electrical connection state of at least one corresponding input/output connection interface of the circuit board 50.
因測試作業已完畢,主控模組21可通知對應輸入/輸出連接模組22之驅動模組25a開始運作,將輸入/輸出連接模組22實質上水平地朝遠離承載平台10之方向移動,以使輸入/輸出連接模組22之至少一連接介面脫離與電路板50之至少一對應輸入/輸出連接介面之電性連接狀態。After the test operation is completed, the main control module 21 can notify the driving module 25a of the corresponding input/output connection module 22 to start operating, and move the input/output connection module 22 substantially horizontally away from the carrying platform 10. The at least one connection interface of the input/output connection module 22 is disconnected from the electrical connection state with at least one corresponding input/output connection interface of the circuit board 50.
同樣地,前述步驟S8至S10亦無絕對之執行順序,本發明亦不以此為限,亦即步驟S8至S10可視需求或實施狀態不同而調整該些步驟之先後執行。Similarly, the foregoing steps S8 to S10 have no absolute execution order, and the present invention is not limited thereto, that is, steps S8 to S10 can be adjusted in sequence according to different requirements or implementation states.
步驟S11:當確認輸入輸出連接模組、探針測試模組及散熱模組移動至定位後,移動承載平台以退出該裝置本體。Step S11: After confirming that the input/output connection module, the probe test module, and the heat dissipation module are moved to the positioning, the carrier platform is moved to exit the device body.
當主控模組21確認輸入/輸出連接模組22及探針測試模組23均已移動至定位而脫離與電路板50之電性連接狀態,且散熱模組24亦已移動至定位而脫離與承載平台10或電路板50之接觸狀態後,表示電路板50已解除與各模組間之連結,因此主控模組21可通知對應承載平台10之驅動模組25開始運作,將承載平台10自位於裝置本體20內之測試位置移動至外露於裝置本體20外之待機位置,以便測試人員取出電路板,完成整個測試流程。其中主控模組21可藉由各防呆元件所發出之訊號來確認前述模組是否已移動至定位,但本發明不以此為限。When the main control module 21 confirms that the input/output connection module 22 and the probe test module 23 have moved to the position and are disconnected from the electrical connection with the circuit board 50, the heat dissipation module 24 has also moved to the position and is separated. After the contact with the platform 10 or the circuit board 50, the circuit board 50 is disconnected from the modules. Therefore, the main control module 21 can notify the driving module 25 of the corresponding carrier platform 10 to start operation, and the platform will be carried. 10 moves from the test position in the device body 20 to a standby position exposed outside the device body 20, so that the tester takes out the circuit board and completes the entire test process. The main control module 21 can confirm whether the module has been moved to the positioning by the signal sent by each anti-danger component, but the invention is not limited thereto.
