Testing apparatus for expansion card
View Patent ↗A testing apparatus includes a base mounted on a motherboard, an inserting unit mounted on the base, a movable unit secured to the inserting unit, and a driving device mounted between the movable unit and the base. The movable unit is driven to move by the driving device, thereby enabling the inserting unit to move to enable the expansion card to be inserted into the motherboard. The movable unit is driven to move by the driving device, thereby enabling the inserting unit to move to enable the expansion card to move out of the motherboard.
1. A testing apparatus comprising:
a base for supporting a motherboard;
an inserting unit located on the base and is moveable toward the base to engage an expansion card with a slot of the motherboard or is moveable away from the base to disengage the expansion card from the slot of the motherboard;
a movable unit located on the base; and
a driving device located between the movable unit and the base,
wherein the movable unit is driven by the driving device to move the inserting unit; the movable unit comprises an engaging portion; the inserting unit comprises a main body and a mounting portion connected to the main body; the main body is mounted on the base; the mounting portion comprises an engaging block; and the engaging block secures to the engaging portion.
2. The testing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the mounting portion defines a securing hole; the engaging block protrudes in the securing hole; the engaging portion is received in the securing hole; and the engaging portion defines an engaging opening; and the engaging block is engaged in the engaging opening.
3. The testing apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the engaging portion comprises two protrusions and a connecting body connected to the two protrusions; and the engaging opening is surrounded by the two protrusions and the connecting body.
4. The testing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the engaging portion is substantially U-shaped.
5. The testing apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the main body comprises an inserting portion, two first side portions perpendicularly extending from the inserting portion, and two second side portions perpendicularly extending from the inserting portion; and a receiving space for receiving the expansion card is defined cooperatively by the two first side portions and the two second side portions.
6. The testing apparatus of claim 5 , wherein the mounting portion comprises an extending portion connected to one of the second side portions and a mounting post extending from the extending portion; the mounting post defines a mounting hole; the engaging block protrudes from the extending portion; the base comprises a securing post; and the securing post is mounted in the mounting hole, so the inserting unit secures to the base.
7. The testing apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the extending portion comprises a connecting portion perpendicularly connected to the corresponding second side portion and a securing portion extending from the two ends of the connecting portion; the engaging block protrudes from the connecting portion; and the mounting portion extends from the securing portion.
8. The testing apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the extending portion is substantially U-shaped.
9. The testing apparatus of claim 6 , wherein the securing post receives an elastic member; and the elastic member is mounted between the mounting post and the base.
10. A testing apparatus comprising:
a base for supporting a motherboard;
an inserting unit located on the base and is moveable toward the base to engage an expansion card with a slot of the motherboard or is moveable away from the base to disengage the expansion card from the slot of the motherboard;
a movable unit located on the base; and
a driving device located between the movable unit and the base,
wherein the movable unit is driven by the driving device to move the inserting unit; the movable unit comprises an engaging portion; the inserting unit comprises a main body and a mounting portion connected to the main body; the main body is mounted on the base; the mounting portion comprises an engaging block; the engaging block secures to the engaging portion; the driving device comprises a driving portion mounted on the base and a movable portion connected to the driving portion; the movable unit further comprises a stopping portion; the movable unit defines a through hole and a receiving opening communicating with the through hole; and the movable unit is configured to move to pass through the through hole and move to receive in the receiving opening, so the movable unit moves.
