The test elastic sheet provided by the application can be used for testing a chip, and it is noted that the test elastic sheet can be used for testing an electronic connector or other electronic components besides testing the chip, and the type of the electronic components is not limited.
As shown in fig. 1: a test spring comprises a test structure 110, a connecting structure 120 and a fixing structure 130, wherein the test structure 110, the connecting structure 120 and the fixing structure 130 are sequentially connected along a first direction. Wherein the test structure 110 is for contact with the pins 500 of the electronic chip, e.g. the test structure 110 may be for contact with the sidewalls of the pins 500. The connection structure 120 is used to connect the test structure 110 and the fixing structure 130. The fixing structure 130 is generally used for fixing the test spring 100 on a base of the test device, and the fixing structure 130 is also used for electrically connecting with the PCB.
The first direction may be a vertical direction. The test spring 100 may be made of copper sheet, iron sheet or alloy sheet, that is, the test structure 110, the connection structure 120 and the fixing structure 130 in the test spring 100 may be made of copper sheet, iron sheet or alloy sheet.
In some embodiments, the test structure 110, the connection structure 120, and the fixing structure 130 may be integrally formed, which not only facilitates the processing of the test spring 100, but also improves the ductility, toughness, and electrical conductivity of the entire test spring 100, resulting in a longer service life of the test spring 100.
In other embodiments, the test structure 110, the connection structure 120, and the fixing structure 130 may also be assembled, such as by welding the test structure 110, the connection structure 120, and the fixing structure 130 together.
Further, the test structure 110 includes a contact portion 111 and an abutting portion 112, the contact portion 111 and the abutting portion 112 may extend along a first direction, that is, the contact portion 111 and the abutting portion 112 may be elongated structures, the contact portion 111 and the abutting portion 112 may be arranged in parallel along a second direction, the second direction may be a horizontal direction, one ends of the contact portion 111 and the abutting portion 112 are respectively connected with the connection structure 120, and a first buffer slot 113 having an opening is formed between the other ends of the contact portion 111 and the abutting portion 112. Wherein, one side of the abutting portion 112 away from the contact portion 111 is used for receiving an external force, one end of the contact portion 111 away from the connection structure 120 is used for contacting with the pin 500, and the first direction and the second direction are perpendicular to each other.
In the test, an external force is applied to the abutting portion 112 to enable the abutting portion 112 to move in a direction approaching to the contact portion 111, and since the abutting portion 112 and the contact portion 111 are both connected with the connecting structure 120, when the abutting portion 112 moves, the contact portion 111 and the abutting portion 112 move simultaneously under the action of the connecting structure 120 to enable the contact portion 111 to contact with the side wall of the pin 500, and at this time, if the abutting portion 112 continues to move in a direction approaching to the contact portion 111 after the contact portion 111 contacts the pin 500, the first buffer groove 113 arranged between the contact portion 111 and the abutting portion 112 can play a role of buffering the movement of the abutting portion 112, so that the deformation or fracture of the test structure 110 is avoided.
It can be seen that, in the test spring 100 of the present application, the test structure 110 includes the contact portion 111 and the abutting portion 112, and the first buffer slot 113 is disposed between the contact portion 111 and the abutting portion 112, and the contact portion 111 and the abutting portion 112 are both connected with the connection structure 120, so when the abutting portion 112 receives an external force, the contact portion 111 and the abutting portion 112 can move towards the direction close to the pin 500 at the same time, but if the contact portion 111 contacts the pin 500, the abutting portion 112 still continues to move towards the direction close to the contact portion 111, the first buffer slot 113 can play a role of buffering the movement of the abutting portion 112, so as to avoid deformation or fracture of the test structure 110, and further improve the service life of the test spring 100.
Alternatively, in some embodiments, a side of the abutting portion 112 away from the contact portion 111 is provided with a guiding inclined surface 114, and the guiding inclined surface 114 is used for receiving an external force along the first direction so as to move the abutting portion 112 towards a direction approaching the contact portion 111.
For example, the driving member 200 in the testing device can move along the first direction and act on the guiding inclined plane 114, and when the guiding inclined plane 114 receives the force applied by the driving member 200 in the first direction, the guiding inclined plane 114 can convert the force in the first direction into the force for moving the supporting portion 112 along the second direction, so that the supporting portion 112 receives the force along the second direction and further drives the contact portion 111 to move.
Optionally, in some embodiments, an end of the contact portion 111 remote from the connection structure 120 extends away from the abutment portion 112 to form a contact end 115, the contact end 115 being for contacting the pin 500. That is, the contact end 115 protrudes away from the abutting portion 112 relative to the contact portion 111, so that the distance that the contact portion 111 moves can be reduced during the contact process between the contact portion 111 and the pin 500, and further the deformation of the test spring 100 can be reduced, and the service life of the test spring 100 can be prolonged.
Further, the contact end 115 may include a side surface far from the side of the abutting portion 112 and an end surface far from one end of the connection structure 120, and the connection portion 116 between the side surface and the end surface is an arc structure, which facilitates the contact between the contact end 115 and the pin 500; and/or the contact end 115 may include a side surface far from the side of the abutting portion 112 and an end surface near to one end of the connection structure 120, where the connection 116 between the side surface and the end surface is an arc structure, and the arc structure facilitates the contact between the contact end 115 and the pin 500.
Optionally, in some embodiments, the test structure 110 may further include a bending portion 117, two ends of the bending portion 117 are respectively connected to the contact portion 111 and one end of the abutting portion 112 near the connecting structure 120, and the bending portion 117 is further connected to the connecting structure 120, where the bending portion 117 is beneficial to the abutting portion 112 to move in the first buffer slot 113 relative to the contact portion 111, so as to avoid deformation or fracture of the connecting position between the abutting portion 112 and the connecting structure 120 during the movement of the abutting portion 112.
Preferably, the side of the bending portion 117 near the first buffer groove 113 is in an arc shape, which can reduce stress on the bending portion 117 when the abutting portion 112 moves relative to the contact portion 111, so as to avoid deformation or fracture of a connection position between the abutting portion 112 and the bending portion 117.
Referring to fig. 1, the connection structure 120 includes a first connection portion 121 and a second connection portion 122, one end of the first connection portion 121 is connected with the contact portion 111 and the supporting portion 112, the other end of the first connection portion 121 is connected with the second connection portion 122, an included angle is formed between the first connection portion 121 and the second connection portion 122, one end of the second connection portion 122, which is far away from the first connection portion 121, is further connected with the fixing structure 130, a second buffer slot 123 with an opening is further formed between one end of the second connection portion 122, which is close to the first connection portion 121, and the fixing structure 130, and the second buffer slot 123 plays a role of buffering in the contact process of the test structure 110 and the pin 500, so as to avoid deformation or fracture of a connection position between the connection structure 120 and the fixing structure 130, and reduce deformation or fracture of a connection position between the supporting portion 112 and the connection structure 120.
Specifically, when the abutting portion 112 and the contact portion 111 move towards the direction approaching the pin 500 under the action of the connection structure 120, the second buffer groove 123 can play a role in buffering the formation of the connection structure 120, and in addition, when the abutting portion 112 moves in the first buffer groove 113 relative to the contact portion 111, the second buffer groove 123 can also play a role in buffering the deformation of the abutting portion 112 and the connection structure 120, so that the service life of the test spring 100 can be prolonged.
