Description

  The present invention relates to an inspection apparatus for inspecting electrical characteristics of an inspection object, and in particular, a flat inspection object such as an FPC (Flexible Printed Circuit) or FFC (Flexible Flat Cable) having an ear protruding from a main body. The present invention relates to an inspection apparatus for inspecting the electrical characteristics of the apparatus.

  Conventionally, as an inspection apparatus that inserts an inspection object having an ear protruding from the main body into the apparatus, as shown in FIG. 19, a convex part F2 protruding in the width direction Y from the main body F1 is the forefront of the tip. Two clip pieces (one of the two clip pieces) that is electrically connected to the wiring pattern F3 on the wiring flexible substrate F by sandwiching the leading end portion of the wiring flexible substrate F at a lower position Only one clip piece 510 is shown), and one of the two clip pieces 510 is provided at the tip of the wiring flexible board F inserted from the insertion direction X between the two clip pieces. A second shape that has an insertion guide portion 511 having a first shape allowing the advancement and a concave portion 512a into which the convex portion F2 is fitted and that matches the shape of the front end portion of the wiring flexible substrate F. A clip connector 500 and the positioning portion 512 is formed in two-tiered having known (e.g., see Patent Document 1.).

  The convex portion F2 is formed for the purpose of preventing the wiring flexible substrate F from coming out of the clip connector 500, and the dimension in the insertion direction X is set shorter than that of the main body portion F1.

  Further, in this conventional clip connector 500, as shown in FIG. 19, when the wiring flexible board F is inserted, the wiring flexible board F is formed by both side walls 513 formed in the upper Z1 of the insertion guide portion 511 in the thickness direction. The convex portion F2 is positioned in the width direction Y.

JP 2008-10252 A

  However, in the conventional clip connector 500, the wiring flexible substrate F is moved in the width direction Y by physical contact between the convex portion F2 formed on the wiring flexible substrate F and the side wall 513 formed on the clip piece 510. However, since the dimension of the projection F2 in the insertion direction X is short, the wiring flexible board F is rotationally displaced in the plane defined by the insertion direction X and the width direction Y. In other words, there is a problem peculiar to the wiring flexible substrate F having the convex portion F2 in which the longitudinal direction of the wiring flexible substrate F is inclined with respect to the insertion direction X in the plane.

  Further, when the rotational deviation as described above occurs, the wiring flexible board F is inserted in a state where the rotational deviation occurs, and the wiring flexible board F is deformed in the clip connector 500, or a probe which is an inspection member. Positional misalignment occurs between the pins (not shown) and the wiring pattern F3 of the wiring flexible substrate F, resulting in inconvenience such that electrical connection between the two is not reliably performed.

  Therefore, the present invention solves the conventional problem, that is, the object of the present invention is to suppress the occurrence of rotational deviation of the inspection object with respect to the inspection apparatus and to ensure electrical connection between the two. It is to provide an inspection apparatus that can be performed.

  The inspection apparatus of the present invention inserts an inspection object having an ear portion protruding in the width direction from the main body, and brings the inspection object into contact with an inspection member held inside to thereby obtain the electrical characteristics of the inspection object. An inspection apparatus for inspecting, provided with a fixing member that holds the inspection member, and a state that is movable with respect to the fixing member, and is moved toward the inspection member after the inspection object is inserted. A movable member, and the movable member has a first positioning portion that positions the body portion of the inspection object in the width direction, and the fixed member moves the movable member toward the inspection member side. When the inspection member and the inspection object are brought into contact with each other, the above-described problem is solved by having a second positioning portion that positions the main body of the inspection object in the width direction. .

  In the inspection apparatus of the present invention, when inserting the inspection object into the inspection apparatus, the first positioning portion provided on the movable member positions the main body of the inspection object in the width direction, which is easy to ensure a long dimension in the insertion direction. In order to guide the inspection object, the occurrence of rotational deviation of the inspection object (the longitudinal direction of the inspection object is inclined with respect to the insertion direction within a plane defined by the insertion direction and the width direction) is suppressed. It is possible to prevent deformation and breakage of the inspection object in the inspection apparatus that tends to occur when the insertion operation of the inspection object is advanced in a state of rotational deviation, and the movable member can be moved in the thickness direction. When the inspection member and the inspection object are brought into contact with each other, the main body portion of the inspection object is positioned in the width direction by both the first positioning portion provided on the movable member and the second positioning portion provided on the fixed member. For inspection vs. It is possible to more reliably suppress the rotational deviation of the object, realize accurate alignment between the inspection member and the inspection object, and reliably perform the electrical connection between the inspection member and the inspection object. .

  Further, in the inspection apparatus of the present invention, by adopting a configuration in which the movable member is moved in the thickness direction after the inspection object is inserted to bring the inspection member into contact with the inspection object, the inspection member and the inspection object are arranged. Since it is possible to avoid the peristaltic contact between the inspection member and the inspection object when they are brought into contact with each other, damage to the inspection member and the inspection object can be prevented.

Next, the user further pushes the inspection object F toward the rear X2 side in the insertion direction from the state shown in FIGS.
At this time, the first positioning part 152 of the inspection object receiving member 150 positions and guides the main body part F1 of the inspection object F (the main body part F1 in the insertion direction front X1 from the ear part F2) in the width direction Y.
In addition, the first positioning portion 152 of the inspection object receiving member 150 restricts the movement of the inspection object F to the front X1 side in the insertion direction, and prevents the inspection object F from coming out to the front X1 side in the insertion direction. .

Next, the user stops the insertion operation of the inspection object F when the end of the inspection object F in the insertion direction rear X2 side contacts the fourth positioning part 136 of the connector holding member 130 (FIG. 7). To the state shown in FIG.
At this time, the fourth positioning unit 136 positions the inspection object F in the insertion direction X.

Next, the user stops pressing the pressed portion 162 of the operation lever 160.
Then, due to the urging force of the coil spring 170, the pressed portion 162 of the operation lever 160 moves toward the upper Z1 in the thickness direction, and the action portion (not shown) of the operation lever 160 moves toward the lower Z2 in the thickness direction. Along with the movement of the action part (not shown), the cover member 140, the inspection object receiving member 150, and the pusher 180 move toward the lower side Z2 in the thickness direction, and the contact of the inspection object F is pressed by the pusher 180. The part (not shown) and the contact part C1 of the connector C are in contact with each other (state shown in FIGS. 11 to 15).
