1. A probe testing device having an elastic structure, comprising:
a plurality of probe elements each including:
a first contact segment arranged at a first end of the probe element;
a second contact segment arranged at a second end of the probe element; and
a body arranged between the first contact segment and the second contact segment, the body including:
a plurality of needle structures, wherein two adjacent ones of the needle structures have a gap arranged therebetween, and the plurality of the needle structures are connected to each other through the first contact segment arranged at the first end of the probe element and the second contact segment arranged at the second end of the probe element; wherein the body, the first contact segment, and the second contact segment are integrally formed; and
a guide plate module including:
a first guide plate having a plurality of first through holes;
a second guide plate having a plurality of second through holes; and
a third guide plate having a plurality of third through holes;
wherein the first guide plate, the second guide plate, and the third guide plate are parallel to each other, the third guide plate is arranged between the first guide plate and the second guide plate, and the plurality of first through holes, the plurality of second through holes, and the plurality of third through holes correspond to each other;
wherein each of the plurality of probe elements passes through a corresponding one of the plurality of first through holes, a corresponding one of the plurality of second through holes, and a corresponding one of the plurality of third through holes, so that an end of the first contact segment protrudes from the first guide plate, an end of the second contact segment protrudes from the second guide plate, and a central axis of the body correspondingly passes through and is perpendicular to the first guide plate, the second guide plate, and the third guide plate;
wherein, when the third guide plate is configured to perform a parallel movement relative to the first guide plate and the second guide plate in a direction perpendicular to an axis of each of the plurality of probe elements, each of the first contact segment and the second contact segment is aligned with the central axis, and a part of the body that is displaced by the third guide plate is away from the central axis,
wherein the first contact segment has a first elastic force, the second contact segment has a second elastic force, and the first elastic force and the second elastic force are independent from each other.
