[0049] In one embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a schematic diagram of a specific embodiment of a shifter detection system in an embodiment of the present invention;

[0050] Specifically, the gear shifter detection system in the present embodiment includes a gear shifter, a host computer, an auxiliary gear shifting device, and a communication module. The auxiliary gear shifting device and the communication module are both connected to the host computer. The gear shifter is connected to the communication module. The host computer is used to send and receive instructions or judge and display information. The auxiliary gear shifting device is used to assist the gear shifter in shifting gears during the gear shifter detection process. The gear shifter is the object to be detected. The above connection constitutes an indispensable part of the detection system in the present embodiment.

[0051] Specifically, the above-mentioned host computer can be a computer or other industrial control computer, which is responsible for sending control instructions or receiving switch signals and reading the identification information of the gear shifter, etc. It can be understood that the above-mentioned host computer can be externally connected or have its own display, where the display is used to display gear information, identification information, etc., to give users or inspection personnel an intuitive feeling and improve the visualization of the detection system.

[0052] Specifically, the auxiliary shifting device includes a mechanical arm, wherein the mechanical arm includes at least two mechanical shifting levers, and the function of the mechanical shifting levers is to move the shifting lever of the shifter through the control of the mechanical arm.

[0053] Specifically, the above-mentioned shifter is the equipment that needs to be detected in this embodiment. The mechanical shift lever of the above-mentioned mechanical arm pushes the shift lever position of the shifter to move, thereby generating different gear information, wherein the gears include R gear, N gear, D gear and S gear. When detecting, the shifter receives the command to open the solenoid valve sent by the host computer, and will execute the command to open the solenoid valve. The host computer can only start to detect the shifter after receiving the information that the solenoid valve has been opened. When the detection is completed, after receiving the command sent by the host computer to obtain the identification information, the identification information of the shifter itself can be sent to the host computer in a timely and accurate manner. It can be understood that the most important item in the identification information is the product serial number.

[0054] Specifically, in order to improve the degree of automation of the detection system, the auxiliary shifting device, more specifically a robotic arm, performs the control of the shifting action in this embodiment, which can imitate certain movements of human hands and arms to complete automatic operation actions, thereby realizing the replacement of heavy and repetitive actions with automated control, reducing labor costs, and improving detection or production efficiency.

[0055] Specifically, for more intelligent control, the mechanical arm in this embodiment includes at least two mechanical shift levers, so that the operation of the shift lever for controlling the shifter is more precise, which improves the reliability of the detection system.

[0056] In another embodiment of the present invention, the number of mechanical levers in the above-mentioned mechanical arm and the components installed on the mechanical levers are designed. The mechanical arm in this embodiment includes two mechanical levers, and each of the two mechanical levers is provided with a light touch switch. Figure 2 The two mechanical levers are a first mechanical lever 100 and a second mechanical lever 200. A first touch switch 1000 is installed on the first mechanical lever 100, and a second touch switch 1100 is installed on the second mechanical lever 200. It can be understood that the above-mentioned touch switches are only installed on the above-mentioned mechanical levers, and there are no other communication connections or electrical connections.

[0057] The above-mentioned touch switch can also be called a push button switch. When in use, applying pressure in the switch operation direction can make the switch closed and connected. When the pressure is removed, the switch is disconnected. The on and off is achieved by the force change of the metal spring inside the touch switch. In this embodiment, the CS1214 series of SMD touch switch is used, which has a height of only 0.8mm. Because it is ultra-thin, it is suitable for high-density installation. The upper SMD touch switch is installed on the above-mentioned mechanical gear lever, which can accurately determine the disengagement time of the shift lever and the mechanical gear lever, thereby improving the accuracy of the shifter detection.

[0058] Specifically, when the detection work is carried out, refer to Figure 3 , assuming that the arrow direction is the gear shifting direction, during the gear shifting detection, when the above-mentioned mechanical arm pushes the gear shift lever 300, the gear shift lever 300 is close to the first mechanical gear lever 100. At this time, the first touch switch 1000 installed on the first mechanical gear lever 100 is pressed. When the gear shift lever is pushed to a certain angle, the next gear will automatically suck the gear shift lever 300 into its own gear position. At this time, because the suction speed is greater than the movement speed of the mechanical arm, the above-mentioned gear shift lever 300 will leave the first mechanical gear lever 100 and touch the second mechanical gear lever 200, thereby pressing the second touch switch 1100 installed on the second mechanical gear lever 200. At this time, since the mechanical arm continues to move until the above-mentioned first touch switch 1000 and the second touch switch 1100 are in the released state, the upper computer controls the mechanical arm to stop pushing the gear shift lever 300 to move, and this release state continues for a set time. At this time, the upper computer detects this gear information. If it is correct, it displays this gear information. Refer to Figure 3 , which is the interface of the host computer detection software. The current gear information, the switch status of the solenoid valve and the identification information are displayed on the above interface. It can be understood that the above identification information includes the product serial number. The above product serial number will only be read after the host computer detects the gear successfully. If it is unsuccessful, the above product serial number will not be read.

[0059] The product serial number is a product serial number pre-stored in the memory of the above-mentioned shifter, which has a unique identification property, and the product serial number of each shifter is different.

[0060] In another embodiment of the present invention, on the basis of the above embodiment, in order to facilitate control and reduce wiring complexity, a control unit is introduced in this embodiment. The above control unit is connected to the host computer, and is used to receive the switch signal of the above touch switch and upload it to the above host computer, thereby realizing the normal sending and receiving of the switch signal of the touch switch, so that the host computer can make correct judgments, thereby ultimately realizing the detection function of the detection system.

[0061] Among them, the above-mentioned communication module includes a CAN bus communication unit, but based on the above-mentioned communication function, other communication units can also be selected. The CAN bus communication unit selected in this embodiment is a high-speed CAN communication unit, which can be quickly and easily plug-and-play, and has the characteristics of strong real-time performance, long transmission distance, strong anti-interference ability, and low cost. In this way, on the basis of meeting the requirements of this embodiment, the enterprise cost can also be effectively controlled.

[0062] Specifically, the present embodiment also includes a printer for printing identification information; more specifically, when all the gear positions of the above-mentioned shifter are detected successfully, the upper computer will read the product serial number of the shifter and print it. It can be understood that the above-mentioned identification information includes the product serial number and may also include other identification information, such as inspection time, inspector number and other identification information.

[0063] In another embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 4 , is a flow chart of a specific embodiment of the shifter detection method in an embodiment of the present invention, comprising the following steps:

[0064] S3000: The host computer obtains the gear information and determines whether the current gear of the gear shifter is the first gear according to the gear information;

[0065] S4000: If yes, the host computer sends a control command to the auxiliary shift device, and the auxiliary shift device controls the shift lever of the shifter to move after receiving the control command;

[0066] If the host computer determines that it is not the first gear information, it continues to execute step S3000.

[0067] S5000: The host computer receives the switch signal sent by the control unit, and determines whether the two touch switch signals of the auxiliary shift device are both in the released state;

[0068] S6000: When all the touch switches are in the released state, it is determined that the current gear position of the shifter is changed from the first gear position to the second gear position;

[0069] The host computer obtains the current gear information from the gear shifter, and determines whether the current gear of the gear shifter is the second gear. If not, the detection fails and the detection process is terminated;

[0070] Otherwise, the above steps are executed in sequence and cyclically to complete the detection of the third gear, the fourth gear, and the fifth gear.

[0071] The mechanical arm comprises two mechanical levers, each of which is provided with a touch switch.

[0072] In another embodiment of the present invention, the above step S3000 may further include: if yes, the above host computer displays the first gear information, and through the display, the visualization of the detectable system is improved, thereby enhancing the practicality of the detection personnel in using the detection system.

[0073] The above step S5000 also includes when the above-mentioned touch switches are in a released state and after the set duration is reached, the release state of the above-mentioned touch switches remains unchanged, and it is determined that the current gear of the shifter is changed from the first gear to the second gear. By setting the duration, it is possible to more accurately determine whether the gear shift is successful, thereby improving the accuracy of the detection system.

[0074] In another embodiment of the present invention, referring to Figure 5 , before the above steps, there are also steps:

[0075] S1000: The host computer obtains the access status of the shifter;

[0076] S2000: When the above-mentioned access state is accessed, the upper computer will send an opening solenoid valve instruction to the shifter, and the shifter will upload the gear position information to the upper computer at the same time.

[0077] Specifically, for ease of understanding, the above method is explained below by taking the first gear as P gear, the second gear as R gear, the third gear as N gear, the fourth gear as D gear, and the fifth gear as S gear as an example for detection.

[0078] Specifically, the host computer obtains the access status of the shifter. When it is obtained that the shifter is connected, the host computer sends an opening solenoid valve command to the shifter. After the solenoid valve is opened, the host computer determines whether the received gear information is P gear. If it is P gear, the host computer displays the P gear information. If it is not P gear information, the host computer prompts an error message that it is not currently in P gear and re-checks whether the shifter is disconnected. If it is disconnected, the host computer resets the robotic arm and re-checks the access status of the shifter. If it is not disconnected, the host computer continues to check whether the shifter is disconnected.

[0079] Specifically, to detect that the P gear position has been completed, the host computer needs to send a control instruction to the above-mentioned mechanical arm to control the mechanical arm to push the shift lever for continued shift detection, that is, to control the mechanical arm to push the shift lever to move to the R gear for continued shift detection. At this time, the host computer detects in real time whether the touch switches on the mechanical gear lever are released at the same time. If it is detected that the touch switches have been released at the same time, the host computer sends an instruction to control the mechanical arm to stop pushing the shift lever. When the set interval is reached, the host computer again detects whether the touch switches on the two mechanical gear levers are released at the same time. If they are still in the released state, it proves that the shift lever has entered the correct R gear position. At this time, the host computer detects whether the received gear information is the R gear. If so, the host computer displays that the current gear is the R gear. If it is not the R gear, it prompts an R gear error. Then it detects whether the shifter is disconnected. If it is disconnected, the mechanical arm position is reset and the access to the shifter is re-detected.

[0080] Specifically, the next step is to continue the N gear detection, which requires the host computer to send a control instruction to the above-mentioned mechanical arm to control the mechanical arm to push the shift lever for continued gear shift detection, that is, to control the mechanical arm to push the shift lever to move to the N gear for continued gear shift detection. At this time, the host computer detects in real time whether the touch switches on the mechanical gear lever are released at the same time. If it is detected that the touch switches have been released at the same time, the host computer sends an instruction to control the mechanical arm to stop pushing the shift lever. When the set interval is reached, the host computer detects again whether the touch switches on the two mechanical gear levers are released at the same time. If they are still in the released state, it proves that the shift lever has entered the correct N gear position. At this time, the host computer detects whether the received gear information is the N gear. If it is the N gear, the host computer displays that the current gear is the N gear. If it is not the N gear, it prompts an N gear error. Then it detects whether the shifter is disconnected. If it is disconnected, the mechanical arm position is reset and the access of the shifter is re-detected.

[0081] Specifically, the next step is to continue the D gear detection, which requires the host computer to send a control instruction to the above-mentioned mechanical arm to control the mechanical arm to push the shift lever for continued gear shift detection, that is, to control the mechanical arm to push the shift lever to move to the D gear for continued gear shift detection. At this time, the host computer detects in real time whether the touch switches on the mechanical gear lever are released at the same time. If it is detected that the touch switches have been released at the same time, the host computer sends an instruction to control the mechanical arm to stop pushing the gear lever. When the set interval is reached, the host computer again detects whether the touch switches on the two mechanical gear levers are released at the same time. If they are still in the released state, it proves that the gear lever has entered the correct D gear position. At this time, the host computer detects whether the received gear information is the D gear. If it is the D gear, the host computer displays that the current gear is the D gear. If it is not the D gear, it prompts a D gear error. Then it detects whether the gear shifter is disconnected. If it is disconnected, the mechanical arm position is reset and the access of the gear shifter is re-detected.

[0082] Specifically, the next step is to continue the S gear detection, which requires the host computer to send a control instruction to the above-mentioned mechanical arm to control the mechanical arm to push the shift lever for continued gear shift detection, that is, to control the mechanical arm to push the shift lever to move to the S gear for continued gear shift detection. At this time, the host computer detects in real time whether the touch switches on the mechanical gear lever are released at the same time. If it is detected that the touch switches have been released at the same time, the host computer sends an instruction to control the mechanical arm to stop pushing the gear lever. When the set interval is reached, the host computer again detects whether the touch switches on the two mechanical gear levers are released at the same time. If they are still in the released state, it proves that the gear lever has entered the correct S gear position. At this time, the host computer detects whether the received gear information is the S gear. If it is the S gear, the host computer displays that the current gear is the S gear. If it is not the S gear, it prompts an S gear error, then detects whether the gear shifter is disconnected. If it is disconnected, reset the mechanical arm position and re-detect the access of the gear shifter.

[0083] In another embodiment of the present invention, after the first gear, the second gear, the third gear, the fourth gear, and the fifth gear are tested and qualified, the following steps are also included:

[0084] S7000: After all gear positions are detected successfully, the host computer sends a request instruction to the gear shifter, and the request instruction is used to obtain identification information of the gear shifter;

[0085] S8000: Detecting whether the identification information sent by the shifter is received;

[0086] If the host computer does not receive the identification information sent by the above-mentioned shifter, it will resend the request instruction to request to read the above-mentioned identification information; if the host computer receives the identification information sent by the above-mentioned shifter, it will send a print instruction to the printer to print the above-mentioned identification information.

[0087] The above identification information includes the product serial number.

[0088] Specifically, after all gear detections are completed and qualified, the host computer sends a request command to the shifter to request to read the identification information of the shifter. The host computer determines whether the identification information fed back by the shifter is received. If received, the host computer sends a print command to the printer to print the identification information. If not received, it continues to send a request identification information command to the shifter. The identification information is stored in the shifter and is used to identify different information of the product. The above identification information includes the product serial number.

[0089] The embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above in conjunction with the accompanying drawings, but the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments. Various changes can be made within the knowledge of ordinary technicians in the relevant technical field without departing from the purpose of the present invention. In addition, the embodiments of the present invention and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other without conflict.
