1. Technical Field
The present disclosure relates to a test support apparatus for electronic apparatus.
2. Description of Related Art
Electronic apparatus, such as computers, often need to go through various tests, such as vibration testing or impact test. The computers define threaded holes, and the test support apparatus defines positioning holes. When the computers are tested, the computers are secured to a test support apparatus by a plurality of screws to lock into the positioning holes and the threaded holes. The threaded holes in the different model computers have different position, and position of the positioning holes in the test support apparatus can not be changed. Thus, it is costly to design different test support apparatuses corresponding to different model computers.
Therefore, there is room for improvement within the art.
Many aspects of the embodiments can be better understood with references to the following drawings. The components in the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale, the emphasis instead being placed upon clearly illustrating the principles of the embodiments. Moreover, in the drawings, like reference numerals designate corresponding parts throughout the several views.
The disclosure is illustrated by way of example and not by way of limitation in the figures of the accompanying drawings in which like references indicate similar elements. It should be noted that references to “an” or “one” embodiment in this disclosure are not necessarily to the same embodiment, and such references mean at least one.

Four positioning holes 11 (shown in
Each of the four supporting members 20 includes a supporting portion 21 and an engaging portion 23 located on one end of the supporting portion 21. Referring to
Each of four holding posts 30 includes a holding portion 31 and a latching portion 33 extending from one end of the holding portion 31. The holding portion 31 defines a slit 311 for a securing member 80 to slidably engage thereof. A holding hole 313, opposite to the latching portion 33, is defined in the holding portion 31. The slit 311 is located between the holding hole 313 and the latching portion 33. The latching portion 33 defines a mouth 331 for the hanging plate 50 to engage therein.
The hanging plate 50 defines four receiving holes 51 for receiving the four holding posts 30 and four limiting holes 55 around the four receiving holes 51. Each of the four receiving holes 51 is substantially sector-shaped. Outer sidewalls of the four receiving holes 51 cooperatively define a circle. The four receiving holes 51 form a bearing portion 53. The bearing portion 53 defines four bearing holes 531 corresponding to the holding holes 313 of the four holding posts 30. A flange 511, for engaging in the mouth 331, extends inwards from the outer sidewall of each of the four receiving holes 51.
Each of the four mounting members 90 includes a long pole 91 and a blocking portion 93 attached to the pole 91.
In assembly of the four holding posts 30, the four holding posts 30 are respectively received in the four receiving holes 51, and the four holding posts 30 are then installed one at a time in same manner, the installation of one is described as an example. The latching portion 33 of the holding post 30 is slidably engaged with the flange 511 by the mouth 331 engaging in the flange 511, and the holding hole 313 of the holding post 30 is aligned with the bearing hole 531 of the bearing portion 53. A locking member 60 is locked into the holding hole 313 and the bearing hole 531 to secure the holding post 30 to the hanging plate 50. Thus, the holding post 30 is rotatably attached to the hanging plate 50.
In assembly of the test product 70, the hanging plate 50 and the four holding posts 30 are disposed above the test product 70. Four securing members 80 are respectively inserted into the slit 311 of the four holding post 30. Each of the four securing members 80 is slidable along each the slit 311 relative to the holding posts 30, and/or the holding posts 30 is rotatable along the hanging plate 50, until each of the four securing members 80 is inserted into each of the four threaded holes 71. In one embodiment, the slit 311 has an extension direction, and the extension direction is substantially perpendicular to a tangent of rotating direction of the holding post.
