本公开的实施例涉及但不限于通信设备的测试领域,具体地,涉及一种测试结构件和一种包括该测试结构件的测试系统。
连接器是通信系统的重要组成部分,主要作用是将通信系统中的两个电气器件电连接、并为连接在一起的电气器件提供力学支撑。随着通信技术的发展,通信系统的结构也越来越复杂,用到连接器的场合也越来越多。随着通信过程中对时延要求、以及数据处理量要求越来越高,相应地,对通信系统中的连接器的电气性能和指标要求也越来越严格。
为了确定连接器的电气性能和指标,需要对连接器进行性能测试。在相关技术中,常用的测试方法如下:
利用待测试的连接器与定制好的至少两块测试用印刷电路板(PCB,Print Circuit Board)电连接,随后使用网络分析仪与测试用PCB电连接,通过网络分析仪分析连接器的电气性能和指标。
但是,利用上述测试方法时,需要针对连接器定子测试用PCB,提高了测试成本。并且,使用上述方法对连接器进行测试后,也对连接器造成了不可逆转的损伤。

为了测试连接器的性能,需要向连接器的各个导电探针提供测试信号。相对于连接器而言,网络分析仪的尺寸比较大,从正极端子、以及负极端子引出的导线也较粗,无法直接与连接器相连。在本公开所提供的测试结构件中,通过信号传输线可以将网络分析仪输出的测试信号传输给连接器。具体地,多个信号传输线的第一端直接与网络分析仪引出的导线电连接。相邻信号传输线的第一端之间的间隔较大,适于配置网络分析仪引出的导线。相邻信号传输线的第二端之间的间隔与待测试的连接器的导电探针之间的间隔相匹配,适于与连接器的导电探针电连接。

为使本领域的技术人员更好地理解本公开的技术方案,下面结合附图对本公开提供的测试结构件、以及包括所述测试结构件的测试系统进行详细描述。
在下文中将参考附图更充分地描述示例实施例,但是所述示例实施例可以以不同形式来体现且不应当被解释为限于本文阐述的实施例。反之,提供这些实施例的目的在于使本公开透彻和完整,并将使本领域技术人员充分理解本公开的范围。

作为本公开的一个方面,提供一种试结构件,其中,如图1所示,所述测试结构件包括通用匹配件110、连接器匹配件120、多条信号传输线130和至少一个接地信号线140。
通用匹配件110的包括匹配平面(图1中的上表面)和与该匹配平面相对的参考面(图1中的下表面),接地信号线140与所述参考面电连接。
连接器匹配件120包括参考壳体121和阻抗调节部122,该阻抗调节部122设置在阻抗调节部122中,参考壳体121的顶端面与所述参考面电连接,待测试的连接器的导电探针200能够在参考壳体121的底端面的任意位置插入该参考壳体121中。
接地信号线140设置在阻抗调节部122中,且接地信号线140分别与参考壳体121以及所述参考面电连接。
信号传输线130贯穿通用匹配件110和阻抗调节部122,信号传输线130上用于与待测试的连接器的导电探针电连接的端面的朝向与所述底端面的朝向相同。信号传输线130的第一端从所述匹配平面穿出,信号传输线130的第二端从阻抗调节部122的底端面穿出。
如图2所示,在对连接器200进行测试时,需要用到网络分析仪300和一对测试结构件。两个测试结构件中的一个(例如,图2中左侧的测试结构件)将连接器200与网络分析仪的正极测试线电连接、两个测试结构件中的另一个将连接器200与网络分析仪的负极测试线电连接,以构成测试闭环。通过网络分析仪提供测试信号,可以确定连接器200的各项电学性能。
在本公开所提供的测试结构件中,通过信号传输线130可以将网络分析仪输出的测试信号传输给连接器。这样,通过测试结构件可以实现连接器200与网络分析仪300的电连接。在测试连接器200上设置参考平面后,信号传输线130穿过阻抗调节部122,可以避免信号传输线130之间短路,并完成测试。
如图3和图4所示,所述连接器的导电探针包括接地探针210和信号传输探针220(信号传输探针又包括输入探针和输出探针)。在本公开中,将信号传输探针220与相应的信号传输线130电连接后,接地探针210可以在任意位置插入参考壳体121中。因此,利用本公开所提供的测试结构件可以对不同型号的连接器进行测试。
通过两个测试结构件将连接器200与网络分析仪300电连接后,可以测试连接器200的电学性能。
如上文中所述,将信号传输探针220与相应的信号传输线130电连接后,接地探针210可以在任意位置插入参考壳体121中。因此,所述测试结构件具有很好的通用性,利用本公开所提供的测试结构件可以对不同型号的连接器进行测试。换言之,在对不同的连接器进行电学性能测试时,不需要专门针对该连接器定制测试结构件。与相关技术中定制PCB进行测试相比,本申请所提供的测试结构件的制造成本更低。并且,连接器的接地探针可以插入参考壳体中,降低甚至消除了测试过程中对连接器造成的损伤。
如相关技术中描述,由于利用定制PCB板对连接器进行测试时会对连接器造成不可逆转的损伤。因此,在对批量生产的连接器进行测试时,只能抽样检测,对于整批连接器而言,抽样检测的准确率并非百分之一百, 这也造成了可能会有次品流入市场的可能。而且,测试后的连接器发生不可逆转损伤,损伤严重时会造成连接器报废,浪费了资源。鉴于本申请所提供的测试结构件具有上述“消除了测试过程中对连接器造成的损伤”这一优点,在利用本公开所提供的测试结构件对批量生产的连接器进行测试时,可以对连接器进行逐个检测,可以更准确地测出不合格产品,避免次品流入市场。
在本公开中,对参考壳体121的具体材料不做特殊的限定。为了便于导电探针的插入,可选的,参考壳体121由第一导电材料制成,所述第一导电材料的硬度低于第一预设阈值。也就是说,参考壳体121必须相对较软、且能够导电。作为一种可选实施方式,可以在较软的树脂类物质中掺入导电颗粒,以获得硬度较低的第一导电材料。
连接器的导电探针通常是金属材料制成。为了便于所述导电探针插入,作为一种可选实施方式,所述第一预设阈值的肖氏硬度取值在70至90之间。只要第一导电材料的肖氏硬度低与该第一预设阈值即可。
为了获得更准确的测试结果,可选地,所述第一导电材料的电阻率不超过100Ω·m,所述第一导电材料的屏蔽效能不低于90dB。
为了便于与待测试的连接器相连,作为一种可选实施方式,相邻两个信号传输线130的第二端之间的间隔与待测试的连接器的相邻两个导电探针之间的间隔相匹配。
为了测试连接器200的性能,需要向连接器200的各个导电探针提供测试信号。相对于连接器200而言,网络分析仪300的尺寸比较大,从正极端子、以及负极端子引出的导线也较粗,为了便于信号传输线130与网络分析仪的导线连接,可选地,相邻两个信号传输线130的第一端之间的间隔大于该相邻两个信号传输线130第二端之间的间隔。具体地,多个信号传输线130的第一端直接与网络分析仪300引出的导线电连接。相邻信号传输线130的第一端之间的间隔较大,适于配置网络分析仪300引出的导线。相邻信号传输线130的第二端之间的间隔与待测试的连接器的导电探针之间的间隔相匹配,适于与连接器200的导电探针电连接。
这样,通过测试结构件可以方便地实现连接器与网络分析仪的电连接。在测试连接器上设置参考平面、信号传输线穿过阻抗调节部后,可以完成测试。
在本公开中,对信号传输线130的具体结构也不做特殊限定,作为一种可选实施方式,如图1所示,信号传输线130可以包括互相电连接的第一信号传输部131和第二信号传输部132,第一信号传输部131贯穿通用匹配件110,第二信号传输部132贯穿阻抗调节部122。
第一信号传输部131的第一端形成为信号传输线130的第一端,第一信号传输部131的第二端位于所述参考面上,相邻两个第一信号传输部131的第一端之间的间距大于该相邻两个第一信号传输部131的第二端之间的间距,第二信号传输部132的第一端与包括该第二信号传输部132的信号传输线130的第一信号传输部131的第二端电连接,第二信号传输部132的第二端形成为包括该第二信号传输部132的信号传输部130的第二端。
在本公开中,可以通过焊接的方式将第一信号传输部131和第二信号传输132电连接,以形成完整的信号传输线130。第二信号传输部132之间的间隔与待测试的连接器的导电探针之间的间隔相匹配。通过设置第一信号传输部131可以将网络分析仪输出的信号输送至第二信号传输部132。
在图中所示的实施方式中,测试结构件包括两条信号传输线130,两条信号传输线130形成一个大致Y字形。
在本公开中,对多条第一信号传输部131在通用件匹配部110中的具体分布形式不做特殊的限定。例如,对于包括两条信号传输线的情况,在通用件匹配部110中,两个第一信号传输部131可以形成为Y字形,也可以形成V字形。
在本公开中,对通用匹配件110的具体结构没有特殊的限定,只要能够与网络分析仪的导线电连接即可。在图1和图6中所示的实施方式中,通用匹配件110包括第一板部111和第二板部112,第一板部111的顶主表面形成为所述匹配面,第二板部112由金属材料制成,第二板部112的第一侧面与第一板部111的底主表面相连,第二板部112的第二侧面形成 为所述参考面,所示第一侧面和所述第二侧面相对设置,第一信号传输部131与第二板部112绝缘间隔。
对于板状件而言,包括两个主表面和连接两个主表面的侧面。鉴于第一板部111的具体位置,将第一板部111上位于测试结构件顶部的主表面称为顶主表面,将第一板部111上与顶主表面相对的表面成为底主表面。
第一板部111大致上以平放的方式设置,第二板部112大致上以竖立的方式设置。第一板部111可以提供面积相对较大的匹配面,从而便于和网络分析仪电连接,第二板部112可以提供充足的走线空间。
在本公开中,对如何将第二板部112与信号传输线绝缘间隔不做特殊的限定,例如,可以在信号传输线的外部包覆绝缘层。

为了获得更好的力学性能,作为一种可选实施方式,可以利用金属材料制成第一板部111,并且,第一板部111也与第一信号传输部131绝缘间隔。
为了便于在测试过程中与连接器形成稳定的电连接,可选地,如图3和图4所示,第二信号传输部132包括导电连接部132a和探针连接部132b。导电连接部132a由金属材料制成。导电连接部132a的第一端与第一信号传输部131电连接,导电连接部132a的第二端与探针连接部132b的第一端电连接。探针连接部132b设置为供所述连接器的导电探针(也成鱼眼连接部)插入、并与插入的导电探针电连接。
如上所述,导电探针插入探针连接部132b中后,可以与信号传输线132形成稳定的电连接。
在本公开中,对探针连接部132b如何实现能够被导电探针插入并不 做特殊的限定。例如,作为一种可选实施方式,可以利用相对较软的导电材料制成探针连接部132b。具体地,探针连接部132b由硬度不超过第二预设阈值的第二导电材料制成。
由于第一导电材料、以及第二导电材料需要承受导电探针的插拔,因此,选择第一导电材料和第二导电材料时,应当确保它们的200次插拔后质量变化小于20%。
在本公开中,探针连接部132b的硬度优选小于参考壳体121的硬度,第二预设阈值的肖氏硬度取值在30到50之间。为了避免信号传输过程中产生信号损耗,可选地,所述第二导电材料的电阻率不超过0.05Ω·m。
为了将探针连接部132b与导电连接部132a固定连接,可选地,第二信号传输部132还包括屏蔽管,该屏蔽管套设在探针连接部132b的外部,并与导电连接部132a固定连接。
在本公开中,屏蔽管的材料可以为金属材料。由于探针连接部132b较软,利用屏蔽管可以对第二导电材料进行定型。
作为本公开的另一种实施方式,如图4所示,探针连接部132b包括导电圆筒部132b1和多个弹性导电接触片132b2,导电圆筒部132b1的一端与导电连接部132a电连接,弹性导电接触片132b2的一端形成在导电圆筒部132b1的另一端,多个弹性导电接触片132b2的另一端向导电圆筒部132b1的中心轴线聚拢。多个弹性接触片132b2的另一端之间存在间隙,以供所述导电探针插入。

在本公开中,可以利用金属材料制成弹性片本体A,利用导电柔性材料制成导电保护件B。
为了便于所述导电探针插入探针连接部132b,作为一种可选实施方式, 如图4中所示,可以在弹性片体A远离导电圆筒部132b1的一端设置引导部,所述引导部的倾斜方向与弹性片A的倾斜方向相反。
在本公开中,对阻抗调节部122的具体阻抗不做特殊的限定,作为一种可选实施方式,该阻抗调节部122的介电常数在2至3之间。
作为一种可选实施方式,阻抗调节部122为形成在所述参考壳体中的空腔。在本公开中,对空腔的具体形式也不做特殊限定。在图3中所示的实施方式中,所述空腔为通孔,在图4中所示的实施方式中,所述空腔为沉孔。在空腔为沉孔的实施方式中,可以在参考壳体121位于沉孔底部的部分上设置引导孔,以便于导电探针插入。
当然,也可以利用其他介电常数在2至3之间的材料制成阻抗调节部122。
在本公开中,对阻抗调节部122的具体形状并不做特殊的限定,在图5中所示的实施方式中,阻抗调节部122的端面为大致椭圆形。
在设计所述测试结构件时,可以先确定整个测试结构件各个部位的阻抗,然后再确定各个部件的尺寸。
例如,对于阻抗调节部122而言,可以通过以下公式(1)确定阻抗调节部的尺寸、以及阻抗调节部内的第二信号传输部的尺寸:
其中,Z

为了获得更加准确的测试结果,可以设计一个结构与通用匹配件110结构相同的校准件,通过校准件对通用匹配件110进行校准。
作为本公开的第二个方面,提供一种测试系统,如图2所示,所述测试系统包括网络分析仪300和两个测试结构件200,其中,所述测试结构件为本公开所提供的上述测试结构件,其中一个所述测试结构件的信号传输线与所述网络分析仪的端口1和端口2电连接,另一个所述测试结构件的信号传输线与所述网络分析仪的端口3和端口4电连接。

为了测试连接器200的性能,需要向连接器200的各个导电探针提供测试信号。相对于连接器200而言,网络分析仪300的尺寸比较大,从端口1和端口2、以及端口3和端口4引出的导线也较粗,无法直接与连接器200相连。在本公开所提供的测试结构件中,通过信号传输线130可以将网络分析仪输出的测试信号传输给连接器。具体地,多个信号传输线130的第一端直接与网络分析仪300引出的导线电连接。相邻信号传输线130的第一端之间的间隔较大,适于配置网络分析仪300引出的导线。相邻信号传输线130的第二端之间的间隔与待测试的连接器的导电探针之间的间隔相匹配,适于与连接器200的导电探针电连接。这样,通过测试结构件可以实现连接器200与网络分析仪300的电连接。在测试连接器200上设置参考平面、信号传输线130穿过阻抗调节部122,可以避免信号传输线130之间短路,并完成测试。
对于网络分析仪300而言,可以通过去嵌入的方式获取连接器的高速性能。
