Inspection pin protection structure of conduction check apparatus
View Patent ↗A conduction check apparatus including an inspection part ( 4 ) having a main body ( 22 ) having a surface ( 23 a ), inspection pins ( 21 ) protruded from the surface ( 23 a ), a guide pin ( 8 ) provided on the surface ( 23 a ); and a protection board 6 sliding along the guide pin ( 8 ) from a first position to a second position and having a plurality of holes ( 28 ). At the first position, the protection board ( 6 ) covers a tip of each of the inspection pins ( 21 ) and, at the second position, each of the inspection pins ( 21 ) jut out from the respective one of the holes ( 28 ). The conduction check apparatus includes a connector setting part ( 3 ) relatively moving toward the inspection part ( 4 ). The protection board ( 6 ) moves between the first and the second position during the relative movement.
1. A conduction check apparatus for inspecting a connector conduction comprising:
an inspection part comprising:
a main body having a surface from which a plurality of inspection pins protrude;
a guide pin affixed to the front end of the inspection part;
a protection board attached to the main body that slides along the guide pin from a first position to a second position, the protection board having a plurality of holes; wherein the protection board is spring-urged so as to freely move forwardly and backwardly along the guide in from the first position to the second position;
wherein at the first position, the protection board covers a tip of each of the inspection pins; and
at the second position, each of the inspection pins protrudes from one of the holes of the protection board; and
a connector setting part relatively moving toward the inspection part, wherein the protection board moves between the first and the second position during the relative movement.
2. The conduction check apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the connector setting part has a rear end surface facing to the protection board and coming into contact with the protection board during the relative motion.
3. The conduction check apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the connector setting part has a first side wall and a second side wall so as to have a U-shape.
4. The conduction check apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the protection board has a guide hole through which the guide pin is mounted.
5. The conduction check apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the guide pin has a thick portion at a tip of the guide pin, and the thick portion has a larger cross section than other part along which the protection board slides.
6. The conduction check apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the urging member is a spring winding the guide pin.
7. The conduction check apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the surface has a space at a root of the guide pin in which the spring is accommodated at the second position.
8. The conduction check apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the inspection part further comprises a guide wall jutting from the surface.
9. The conduction check apparatus according to claim 8 , wherein the protection board has a cutout portion and the guide wall has a projection portion slidably fitting to the cutout portion.
10. The conduction check apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprises a lever connected to the inspection part through a divided link, wherein the divided link includes a first link connected to the inspection part, a second link connected to the lever, and an elastic member connecting the first and the second link.
